Yes, they're saying everything will continue as normal, but just how long will that last? They may be genuinely happy, but even if they weren't what would they say? Give it time to see how it all comes together before shitting on it. Their site was stolen. 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. A norm-referenced test (NRT) is a type of test, assessment, or evaluation which yields an estimate of the position of the tested individual in a predefined population, with respect to the trait being measured. I doubt they end up doing much together at all. Why not just start up something with your own people in that case? And seriously, they didn't even get a pay raise out of this shitstorm? ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 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. I don't think they've ever even met.). 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. "Hey, you guys can stay on, but you just post some news to fill in the non A&J gaps? Adam and Norm have an announcement to make--this will be the final episode of The Adam Savage Project. If you are worried about annoying other people and are seeking solutions to solve that problem, you have already won half the battle. I mean, yeah it was a big change for all of us but just deal with it. 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. The thing is Will and Norm didn't only sell the site, they also sell their core tested.com fans. Also, yeah, @Mirado: people just eating up what Will's saying without questioning it in the slightest need to understand he's very likely contractually obligated to not fully speak his mind regarding this change. ... GET AWESOME CONTENT FROM TESTED.COM DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR INBOX. The way that video was presented was just terrible, I really couldn't believe it. TechTV and G4 was the same way. They are not seeing the bigger picture here, they can say it'll stay as it is, but I can't see that happening long term. 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.". Jamie and Adam are celebrities and have multiple TV shows, commercials, speaking engagements, endorsement deals, and all kinds of other stuff on their plates. The thing that's changed is that we get to work closely with two very, very smart guys who are successful in multiple fields. Basically Jamie and Adam are going on a Mythbuster tour right now and are reaching out to many fans. 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. Adam Savage’s One Day Builds: Knight Lighter! 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? 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. After 8 years of recording the podcast, we're refocusing our energies on other Tested projects including the bi-weekly livestreams. After watching the video, I was left with the impression that a producer shoved a camera in their faces and told them to record something and that was the first they had ever even heard of their "new website." That's equally as possible as my theory or any number of others. We want you to stay active.". It's no longer about them or what they want to do. Their site was stolen. I don't like how they just put the pictures of Jamie and Adam on top of Tested. I like Tested. Nothing but bad will for their site in that case. Yeah, maybe they are just lying about their enthusiasm to keep their jobs, and maybe I'm the 3rd in line to the throne of Denmark. A bit of skepticism is fine, but openly doubting the motives of everyone involved just seems to me a bit much. @MB: Or maybe they (not Adam & Jamie personally, but the management people involved in the deal) went "hey, you guys are an important part of what made the website special & why we want to purchase it. In time, you should be seeing their face on the front page more including their old tweet box. I trust this Giant Bomb move, but nothing sits well to me about the Tested one. 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. By John Phillips Think, man! Tested was bought up because the company that purchased it wanted WM's production backend, and Tested happened to be the biggest site on it. 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? The Mythbuster guys want to attract their fanbase to the site. Obviously this is going to attract a lot of fan based readership to Tested, which is good. They are thinking "Fuck we bought this site this is ours!". I bet there will be next to no interaction or collaboration between the Mythbusters and Tested teams. 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. Annoying office jargon has now become the norm at the dinner table as millions of Britons work from home, a new study has revealed. http://www.tested.com/forums/general-discussion/topics/43269-please-everyone-take-a-breath/?p=28, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. I also think Will & Norm are very dazzled by this new celebrities and not seeing the big picture here. - Will. That's the whole fucking point behind all of this: they needed their own website that lets them talk about non-Mythbusters related topics and shows, here's a tech site that's running on the platform that we just purchased, so just drag and drop. And seemingly not big to Will & Norm. 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. How to Not Be Annoying. Also, look at the amount of unfounded whining that's being done...imagine if shit actually was real. Within a year, G4 utterly dismantled everything great about TechTV. 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? 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. Also, tone down the language, we've got 10 year olds coming here.". I LOVE MYTHBUSTERS!! This constitutes simple cluster sampling. Seems to me that Will and Norm were just starstruck by the idea of working with them. Yeah, your'e right. I expect that they will go off and either work for another company or start their own thing again (either together or otherwise) when it truly becomes Jamie and Adam's Tested just like those two are already saying. Jamie and Adam aren't just TV personalities. Tested: Elegoo Mars 2 Pro SLA 3D Printer Review. I can verify that you aren't third in line for the throne in Denmark. I was a little worried at first. I like the idea of them working together. A lot of the supporters of this merge are just like "OMG JAMIE AND ADAM!! 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. I hate to say it, but I agree with @Marokai. We aren't property of Whiskey Media, and we don't have contracts that require us to go along with whatever the company line is. It's still a work-in-progress. @forkboy: I like the idea of the Tested guys and the Mythbusters guys "working together" too - but I doubt that's going to be the case.

EXPLOSIONS!! Yep, BernanBraun is working with Adam and Jamie on their new show, Unchained Reaction. Norm might have a twin. Even my wife who couldn't care less about Tested thought that kind of sucked. A lot of the supporters of this merge are just like "OMG JAMIE AND ADAM!! If Will and Norm are still a part of Tested in a year I'll be pretty surprised. A specific concern for many park managers is the generation of waste by visitors. 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. It seems more like PR and less like "tell it like it is" to me. @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"? It's not their site. Kinda worrying, eh? I don't want to be all "the sky is falling" but even if that is the case, it sounds like they're throwing them a bone. It'll always be Will and Norm's Tested to me. Well it is to me, certainly more so than "hey, a new mobile phone I'll never own". He also addressed this on that thread, it's kind of lengthy so I'll summarize it here. Neither has Norm's. I could be wrong, though, as we all could be. Rather, it just creates anxiety in people that would not normally be as anxious or worried. WinterSnowblind, you're correct in my opinion. I mean, there's plenty room up there for them. Plus, the surprising things we learned from iFixit's AirPods Max teardown, and the return of a Moment of Science! 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. They're also promoting Tested as their new home. 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. Oh and here are some other dudes who you will see around our website!". I can't see the future of Tested lasting like it was before, I just can't. I wonder what happens when Mythbusters eventually gets cancelled. :'(. Money has NOTHING to do with it. There's no delusion here, it's simply a case of being open-minded. Adam is back to finish his replica wrist connectors for his …, We break down the confounding rumors about Apple's VR headset plans on this week's show, review the first two episodes of WandaVision, and share what we'd want out of a Willy Wonda prequel. What the fuck does Mythbusters have to do with tech? The estimate is derived from the analysis of test scores and possibly other relevant data from a sample drawn from the population. ;), Seeing "Adam and Jamie's Tested" is horrible to me. "This is a fucking nightmare and you should go and bomb the forums with midget porn while the mod tools are still broken?" Calculate the T score using the … 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.

I like the Mythbusters guys. Making numerous threads about how this is the doom of humanity does not help the situation. @Benny: For the record, I'll still visit the site and continue to support them. Will and Norm can rationalize it all they want, they got hornswoggled in my view. I think we all hope for the best because we want to see Norm & Will do as well as possible, but it just kind of sounds ... worrying. They can sugar coat this all they want, but I seriously don't see them being around by this time next year. I dunno, this may turn to hell but I just don't immiediately see this as a failure for Will and Norm. 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. Think! 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. Adam & Jamie are out on tour at the moment. But Will addressed this too, saying it was because they were short on time and he had to write the script really fast. Of course not. They obviously see some worth in Will and Norm otherwise getting all this baggage is nothing but negatives. 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. I don't think people are reading too much into the video and home page redesign of Tested too much at all. 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. We don't HAVE to look at everything pessimistically. What does the Mythbuster show have to do with tested? And "We were really short on time so we wrote that it's Jamie and Adam's website" is a really weak excuse. Meh. annoying definition: 1. making you feel slightly angry: 2. making you feel slightly angry: . The T score is derived from the Z score, transformed to a new scale, so that the: T score mean is set at 50 and the standard deviation at 10.

(If we want to keep this metaphor rolling, he could provide me with proof I'm colorblind (i.e some actual content) and then maybe I'll start believing him.). I'll still visit Tested from time to time just to see what Will and Norm are up to. Norman Chan is one of Tested.com co-founders (along with Will Smith). What do they even care about tested.com, some additional audience? Tested was Will & Norm's baby. Which, of course, is natural: those guys are TV stars and have bigger things to worry about than content for a website, but that website happened to be the site we read and loved for years. 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. We have the opportunity to spend time with them and learn from them. Really rubbed me the wrong way. The T score (transformed score) is the most common standardised norm system for ability tests. Sorry, Wil, but I don't buy any of that. I took this off of Will's reply from this thread here: http://www.tested.com/forums/general-discussion/topics/43269-please-everyone-take-a-breath/?p=28. They build amazing things, and have built careers that let them do whatever they want. ---------------------------------------------------------------------. I am at a loss for words. We don't know any of the background facts yet and most of our fears and worries stem from pure speculation. I can't verify anything W&N say, so I have to evaluate their words vs what I see. (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? A lot of us are pissed because in the video, Jamie and Adam made it seem as if it was "their" new site. More power to you if you can spin, or accept the spin, on that situation. I found Adam annoying and it seemed like he acted overly excited about everything for TV, but then when I started watching the Tested videos, especially one day builds, I found he's a really smart, chill dude. If I was Will or Norm I think I'd want to cry right now, I … I fear that the same will happen to Screened, Anime Vice, and Tested. I'll continue to use the site until Norm and Will either get fired or quit. In such sampling, the mean of the norms sample is usually a biased estimate of the mean of the norms population. Adam Savage’s Tested is a content platform and community playground for makers and curious minds. Tested was Will & Norm's baby. @MB: That.....that isn't Tested, anymore, then. I think that is kind of my issue. I feel like people need to chill out. They don't care about them, they aren't under their tutelage, they are nothing more than webmasters to them. Sure shadows and textures will look good, but far distance visibility is kinda up in the air right now. It sucks to just have to wait and see. 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.
