The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 862 A Letter from Netflix
"Booker, what is this?" Rosa found this strange email in the mailbox early in the morning.When I opened it, I found a box inside that I didn't know what to use.

"Where did this come from?" Husband Booker looked at the box and asked curiously.

"Didn't I become a member of Netflix? It was sent by Netflix, and here is a letter from Netflix!" Rosa handed the letter to her husband. Booker opened it up and found this It is indeed a letter.

The letter stated that in order to thank all members for their support to Netflix, Netflix gave away this device called a digital network TV box to all members for free.

At the same time, because the number of this device is limited, the first batch will give away TV boxes to users who have been members for more than three years. After the subsequent batches arrive, more members will be given away.

This device only needs to be connected to the Internet cable, and you can watch a program called Los Gato TV for free. In addition, in the future, Netflix will also be able to provide more comprehensive services through this digital network TV box. All members provide a better user experience Yunyun.

Originally, Booker would not be too interested in seeing such a letter and equipment. After all, he doesn't usually watch TV very much, and the TV is under the control of his wife. He is more likely to sit in front of his computer... computer It belongs to oneself, and the TV belongs to the wife. This is the tacit understanding between husband and wife.

And since this device needs to be connected to a network cable, it will definitely affect your network speed. Booker's thinking, it must be the first time to throw this box aside, so as not to affect your network speed.

But when he saw the end of the letter, which stated that the TV station named Los Gaitu was about to broadcast the TV version of Piaomiao Journey nationwide on May 5th, his thoughts changed.

Well, Booker is the man who has watched all the trilogy of Misty Journey. He has long known on the Internet that Misty Journey also has a TV version, and it is said that other countries have already started broadcasting it about a week ago.

Fast Country has even reached episode 7, much to Booker's ire.

I am a noble American, but Americans can't watch the latest TV programs, but let other countries take the lead.Is this scientific?Is this reasonable?

What's more terrible is that although there are reports on the Internet that several TV stations in China have already purchased the copyright of this TV series, they have not seen any TV station broadcasting the promotion of this TV series for a long time. When the fans were already feeling desperate, they unexpectedly saw the promotion of the TV version of Piao Miao Journey here.

Thinking of this, Booker didn't have the idea of ​​throwing away the TV box, so he immediately took the manual and began to study it.

Then he found that this TV box is quite easy to use. First of all, if there is only one network cable in the house, you need to connect the network cable to the TV box first, and then use another network cable to connect the TV box to the computer, and enter the TV box through the computer. On the internal control page, enter the account number and password of the network, and let the TV box enter the networked state.

After that, you can connect the box to the TV through a video signal cable used by the TV, and then adjust the TV to the video input mode, and then you can directly watch the TV programs provided in the box.

If you have a router installed at home, it will be easier, and you don’t need to manually enter the account password. You only need to connect the box to the router with a network cable, and then directly connect the box to the TV, and you can use it.

Well, this may seem a bit complicated, but as long as it is a family with Internet access, this set of operations is not too complicated, it is a daily operation.

If you really don’t know how to operate, there is also a 24-hour telephone on the box, you can make an appointment for a special staff to come to the door for debugging and installation.

Or you can go directly to the nearby Atari business hall and make an appointment for on-site installation service.

These operations naturally did not bother Booker, who played computer games every day. He quickly installed the digital TV box on his own TV, and then adjusted the video input channel.

I thought that after the adjustment, I would be able to see the TV program immediately after turning it on, but I found that what appeared on the TV was a brightly colored operation interface.

This interface looks quite complicated, but in fact there are only three functions and buttons that can be used. Among them, in the most prominent position of the interface, there is a small screen window that is playing, and the words "Enter Los Gato TV Station" are written below it. It should be able to directly watch the Los Gato TV program by clicking this window.

In addition to entering Ruogaitu TV Station, there is also a smaller option on the interface, which says "Past Issues" option.

In addition to this, there is also an option for the Netflix library.

Booker and his wife curiously clicked into this Los Gato TV station, and then found that the TV was just playing a TV series, and an angry woman was screaming something on the TV.

"This is growing pains, my God, I haven't seen this TV series for a long time, I miss it so much!" My wife Rosa couldn't help crying out when she saw the content of this TV series.

"Ahem, this TV series has been around for more than 10 years. If there's something interesting, I'll see what's in the previous resource library!" Booker said.

"No, no, no! This episode seems to be something I haven't seen. This is an episode I missed back then...God, I really liked watching this episode. At that time, I was secretly in love with you, and it made me I don't even have time to watch TV, and I missed a lot of important TV series!" Thinking of this, Rosa couldn't help but glared at Booker.

Bu Kecan smiled a few times, then got up and said, "Forget it, you can watch it first, anyway, there won't be a few episodes, and I think watching TV online will be really stuck, I'll play some games!"

After Booker finished speaking, he returned to his room, turned on the computer, and then directly entered the OO game center.He originally wanted to click on the World of Warcraft game habitually, but he thought that his daughter-in-law was watching TV through the Internet, so his Internet speed when playing online games would definitely explode.

So he gave up the online game, but opened the stand-alone game section of the OO game center, and found Need for Speed ​​7·Underground Hurricane from it.

Well, this is a game recently added to the OO Game Center, and it comes with the entire EA game super gift package, because the entire EA game is collectively packaged and added to the stand-alone game section of the OO Game Center.

This caused a lot of trouble in the entire game circle at the beginning. You must know that in the stand-alone game section of the OO Game Center, there were only two or three big companies that could get their hands on it. The most famous of them was naturally Blizzard, and then two A large game studio.

They are EPIC, which made Unreal, and Rockstar, which made Grand Theft Auto.

After that, there is the manufacturer of Jiangnan Games. This manufacturer has not launched any popular games yet, but there is currently a game called Minecraft, which is said to be in internal testing, and it is quite mysterious.

But according to the few bigwigs in the OO game circle forum who can participate in the internal beta, this is the best game in the world, and there is no greater game in the world than this, which makes Booker feel a little itchy.

Other than that, there are no major game manufacturers, but this does not mean that the content of OO games is very simple. On the contrary, the OO Game Center now has more than 4 different games.

And 98% of them are from various small game studios, even independent game developers.Anyone who is interested in developing games can directly upload the games they develop to the OO Game Center. As long as they pass the review, they can be put on the shelves in the OO Game Center immediately, and they can also get a novice recommendation benefit and get 70% of the game at the same time revenue share.

And if the performance of the game is good, it can also get continuous recommendations. For example, Lianliankan, the most popular stand-alone game, is said to be a game independently developed by a Chinese. It earned more than 4 million US dollars in less than a year. of net income.

The second-ranked game called Frog Travel also earned more than 2000 million US dollars within a year... Before that, who would have imagined that a word game could actually earn so much money?
These two games were all developed by independent game developers, that is, only one person made the game from beginning to end, which made Booker very eager to move, after all, he is also a programmer.

Moreover, OO Game Center really provides a very comprehensive support for game production. If you are a newcomer who knows a little bit of technology, or even no technology at all, just click on the I want to make a game link in OO Game Center. You can jump directly to the Creator Zone of the OO Game Center.

In this creator zone, first of all, anyone can download various dedicated game development tools for free.

The most popular among them is the Unreal 3 engine, which is the latest game production engine launched by EPIC studio in early 05.This is a very powerful game engine, and there are quite a lot of game materials in it.

Including scene screenshots, character modeling, monster modeling, etc., as long as your technical ability is sufficient, and you don't mind using a lot of public materials, you can even create a rich 3D game by yourself.

Of course, you can also create your own materials through the Unreal Engine [-], and even put these materials in the store after the creation is complete, and sell them to other users who need materials to make games... After all, public materials are really used There are too many, and the materials produced by players are still relatively rare, and it is not easy to see the same boss in two games.

And as long as the material is well produced, it is said that the monthly income can exceed 5 US dollars, which is simply not too cool.

In fact, Unreal 3 is indeed the best game engine in the world. Not only is it reused by the OO game center, it is said that about 60% of the world’s major game manufacturers have secretly downloaded free Unreal 3 from the OO game center. Engine, used to develop their own games,

So many people started looking for the same games in the products of some recently launched game manufacturers, that is, in this large-scale game, they found the public materials of Unreal 3, or some private materials sold publicly, and expressed their opinions on these. The big game manufacturers who would not join the OO game center even made various mockery.
