I was a little worried at first. I just don't see how they could have a positive reaction after seeing what the new site looked like, watching the announcement video starring Adam and Jamie, and then reading the reactions from their userbase. We have the opportunity to spend time with them and learn from them. I trust this Giant Bomb move, but nothing sits well to me about the Tested one. They're also promoting Tested as their new home. The recent events may be what both websites really needed to flourish and expand their horizons. This is a website that was bought for them, branded with their faces and used to promote their stuff and not really any kind of a priority. Really rubbed me the wrong way. The estimate is derived from the analysis of test scores and possibly other relevant data from a sample drawn from the population. @Benny: For the record, I'll still visit the site and continue to support them. Science is good! Norm might have a twin. We don't know any of the background facts yet and most of our fears and worries stem from pure speculation. It fits with what BernerBraun does and what we're seeing on Tested now. In such sampling, the mean of the norms sample is usually a biased estimate of the mean of the norms population. The prospect of this is something I am THRILLED about. Adam Savage’s Tested is a content platform and community playground for makers and curious minds. It's pretty glaringly obvious that Will and Norm are secondary characters now on what used to be their own site, and probably won't last there for very long. @Marokai: Yeah, but why does Tested being redesigned & repurposed have to be a bad thing? We were compensated very fairly for our work at Whiskey, but we didn't get paid off, bought out, or anything like that. Adam and Norm have an announcement to make--this will be the final episode of The Adam Savage Project. On Tested.com, the highly- engaged Tested YouTube channel, and at conventions and events, dynamic makers share ideas and inspire each other to build their obsessions. I like the Mythbusters guys. It sucks to just have to wait and see. It should be a great thing for the site. Jamie and Adam are celebrities and have multiple TV shows, commercials, speaking engagements, endorsement deals, and all kinds of other stuff on their plates. Who knows, maybe Will and Norm had deals for a certain period of time to remain on as editorial staff as part of of the acquisition. I just think things are going to change, get beyond their control and eventually end up for the worse, until the site is totally unrecognisable. An unbiased estimate can be constructed from the sample data (eq. I'm not sure if I think Will & Norm were legitimately starstruck by the Mythbusters dudes or if they're just acting excited because they are trying to protect their jobs and that is what they were expected to do. Basically we are reading into it too much. And seriously, they didn't even get a pay raise out of this shitstorm? But as we can't verify that at present lets just assume they aren't lying to us as a basic courtesy, no? I thought it would be interesting to share with you guys and it could shed some light on the situation with Giant Bomb. http://www.tested.com/forums/general-discussion/topics/43269-please-everyone-take-a-breath/?p=28, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. he said that will had them say that, so the new people who are coming in who only know jamie and adam stay and become fans. I like the idea of them working together. The fans know how they look like, so no need for differentiation. Calculate the T score using the … :'(. Their site was stolen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------. That's only assuming Jamie and Adam's company won't just use Will and Norm until they are done with them and then toss them away like wadded tissues. If Will and Norm are still a part of Tested in a year I'll be pretty surprised. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Whose faces are the top of the site? I posted over in the original thread for the announcement video that I didn't understand the orgasmic response to having the Mythbusters on the site. We want you to stay active.". It was like..."Hey, this is Jamie and Adam and we have an awesome new website, we guess! But sounds like that show is still loved so yeh. More power to you if you can spin, or accept the spin, on that situation. The Mythbuster guys want to attract their fanbase to the site. I think that is kind of my issue. A bit of skepticism is fine, but openly doubting the motives of everyone involved just seems to me a bit much. Tested was Will & Norm's baby. By John Phillips He also addressed this on that thread, it's kind of lengthy so I'll summarize it here. Money has NOTHING to do with it. I hate admitting that as I'm a natural pessimist, but I just think the negative spin on all this is past the point of absurdity. Kinda worrying, eh? Yep, BernanBraun is working with Adam and Jamie on their new show, Unchained Reaction. "It's not about money, it's about opportunity. I don't know if Jamie and Adam still do Mythbuster stuff, I don't watch a lot TV anymore and I think that show is seen less and less in Germany. Not a big thing to me. I LOVE MYTHBUSTERS!! Nothing but bad will for their site in that case. That's equally as possible as my theory or any number of others. What is Tested? One way to combat this issue in national parks is to encourage visit… Think, man! I guess people have every right to be cynical when corporations are involved, but still... Jamie and Adam are two very busy dudes, why wouldn't they want two content producing nerds, Will and Norm, to work on the site and then chime in from time to time? By itself, a subject’s raw score (e.g., the number of answers that agree with the scoring key) has little meaning. (not saying that this thread did this but most of the new posts on the forums of all the sites have generally been doomsday posts). Psychological testing - Psychological testing - Test norms: Test norms consist of data that make it possible to determine the relative standing of an individual who has taken a test. The way that video was presented was just terrible, I really couldn't believe it. It'll always be Will and Norm's Tested to me. EXPLOSIONS!! They don't care about them, they aren't under their tutelage, they are nothing more than webmasters to them. It's been a wonderful and amazing run--thanks so much for listening! Well, whatever happens - I just hope for the best. I'll still visit Tested from time to time just to see what Will and Norm are up to. Think! What the fuck does Mythbusters have to do with tech? Tested: 1991 Saab 9000 Turbo Challenges the Sports Sedan Norm From the Archive: A larger, more powerful engine helps Saab's quirky hatchback 9000 deliver more of a good thing. ", they aren't getting the bigger picture of the ordeal. It's not their site. With all of the money the Mythbusters have, it is absolutely bewildering to me that some people think they were so incapable of creating their own website they had to steal a website from someone else, then launch an overthrowing conspiracy to get rid of the old people. Seems to me that Will and Norm were just starstruck by the idea of working with them. Norman Montgommery Chan was born on August 23, 1984, just moments after his parents stepped off a Chinese junk that sailed from Hong Kong and beached on the rocky shores of the Lincoln Park Golf Course in San Francisco. I'm not saying that W&N are getting tossed out in the street, but that's a bit of a big focus shift, now isn't it? For dudes who are into science and technology and really wild stuff, we're working with the equivalents in their industries of Mick Jagger or Meryl Streep. I don't think people are reading too much into the video and home page redesign of Tested too much at all. They can sugar coat this all they want, but I seriously don't see them being around by this time next year. Give a single minute and I'll write a sentence -- no no, give me thirty seconds and I'll write a sentence that says hey we -Jamie and Adam- are now a PART of Tested and we'll be working with Will and Norm to cover the things we like. If you are worried about annoying other people and are seeking solutions to solve that problem, you have already won half the battle. Meh. ;), To me it seems like Tested and Giantbomb are quite happy with their current situation, no matter what we may think. Jamie and Adam Tested. Norm checks in with his recent testing and research into gaming laptops powerful enough for VR headsets and video editing, using HP's Omen 15 as an example. Tested was Will & Norm's baby. That's cool. They may be genuinely happy, but even if they weren't what would they say? I fear that the same will happen to Screened, Anime Vice, and Tested. ", they aren't getting the bigger picture of the ordeal. (As an aside...does anyone think that either Adam or Jamie even know who the hell Will or Norm even are, or that they knew Tested.com was a thing before this whole deal happened? Of course not. Just ride out the current barrage of change and I am sure it will be back to a relatively normal state in a couple of weeks. I find it hard to believe that the higher ups will allow them to keep acting like they normally do and swear all the time, etc, considering how family friendly Mythbusters tends to be. I get that Jamie and Adam are probably really amazing tech dudes but they aren't going to analyze new devices for this side suddenly, right? Sadly, my prediction is that Will and Norm will be relegated to nothing more than staff writer positions and will eventually leave to explore better opportunities, as will most of the existing Tested community. They obviously see some worth in Will and Norm otherwise getting all this baggage is nothing but negatives. The T score (transformed score) is the most common standardised norm system for ability tests. I'm not going out on a limb to say that soon I would be surprised if Will and Norm even do content for the site anymore, maybe 6 months or so, but they will likely be just reduced to writers. I can't verify anything W&N say, so I have to evaluate their words vs what I see. Yeah, your'e right. Tested: Elegoo Mars 2 Pro SLA 3D Printer Review. So much for personality driven content. I wish Will & Norm the best, I'm just too much of a realist for my own good and I'm trying to read between the lines a little. I highly doubt it. I find Norm annoying. It strikes me as something that Shelby would do - "Hey, I'll sell you my company, but you have to take care of these guys for at least a little while.". Give it time to see how it all comes together before shitting on it. @Marokai: You realise you are saying "Will & Norm, you guys are so dumb, I know what's best for your careers, listen to me instead of yourself despite me not knowing all the details"? I am really happy and excited for this new partnership with Tested for Will and Norm, but when the redesign came today and it was just the Mythbusters on the header? It may happen slowly, but it'll happen and if Will and Norm aren't eventually asked to leave, I see them just becoming disillusioned with the new direction and they'll want to go back to running their own site independently. Making numerous threads about how this is the doom of humanity does not help the situation. I could be wrong, though, as we all could be. A lot of the supporters of this merge are just like "OMG JAMIE AND ADAM!! When Will's talking about how he "hopes" they can sit down with Jamie and Adam to do a podcast or a video where they address the community but that it might not happen because those guys are so busy, it just makes me think that this isn't REALLY Jamie and Adam's website. How to Not Be Annoying. Will and Norm can't be suprised by this reaction, they have cultivated a ton of love and good will from users, now in the span of 2 days the site has totally changed and the front page and intro video are dedicated to two people that we don't associate with Tested. Bio. We don't HAVE to look at everything pessimistically. Well it is to me, certainly more so than "hey, a new mobile phone I'll never own". WHAT IF WILL AND NORM END UP ON MYTHBUSTERS. I think they're genuinely happy, working with the Mythbusters is a huge deal for them.. but they've lost their site in the process. To wrap up the year, we present our annual tradition of sharing our favorite things from the year, including gear tested, tools discovered, and projects completed. Obviously this is going to attract a lot of fan based readership to Tested, which is good. The thing that's changed is that we get to work closely with two very, very smart guys who are successful in multiple fields. After 8 years of recording the podcast, we're refocusing our energies on other Tested projects including the bi-weekly livestreams. And seemingly not big to Will & Norm. I am at a loss for words. They are the community that made site popular. And if that causes Will and Norm to get shunted into the shadows, fuck everything. I can't see the future of Tested lasting like it was before, I just can't. - Will.
