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. I'll still visit Tested from time to time just to see what Will and Norm are up to. I wonder what happens when Mythbusters eventually gets cancelled. I mean, there's plenty room up there for them. Think! It's no longer about them or what they want to do. It's been a wonderful and amazing run--thanks so much for listening! I can't see the future of Tested lasting like it was before, I just can't. ", they aren't getting the bigger picture of the ordeal. We don't HAVE to look at everything pessimistically. 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. © 2021 GIANT BOMB, A RED VENTURES COMPANY. But Will addressed this too, saying it was because they were short on time and he had to write the script really fast. Annoying office jargon has now become the norm at the dinner table as millions of Britons work from home, a new study has revealed. 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. Jamie and Adam aren't just TV personalities. Bottom line, the new site has been live for less than 24 hours. 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? Sorry, Wil, but I don't buy any of that. Yeah, your'e right. Nothing but bad will for their site in that case. Bio. Whatever happens, I hope things work out for Will and Norm, those guys are alright. Also, look at the amount of unfounded whining that's being done...imagine if shit actually was real. I'll continue to use the site until Norm and Will either get fired or quit. I trust this Giant Bomb move, but nothing sits well to me about the Tested one. By itself, a subject’s raw score (e.g., the number of answers that agree with the scoring key) has little meaning. 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. By John Phillips If I was Will or Norm I think I'd want to cry right now, I really feel for those dudes. This constitutes simple cluster sampling. I just figure that most businesses don't have such altruistic motives when it comes to multi-million dollar investments. More power to you if you can spin, or accept the spin, on that situation. They can sugar coat this all they want, but I seriously don't see them being around by this time next year. I don't think they've ever even met.). We are going along with us because it is literally the OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME. Kinda worrying, eh? It'll always be Will and Norm's Tested to me. The recent events may be what both websites really needed to flourish and expand their horizons. The T score (transformed score) is the most common standardised norm system for ability tests. Really rubbed me the wrong way. Give it time to see how it all comes together before shitting on it. What does the Mythbuster show have to do with tested? 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. Neither has Norm's. The thing is Will and Norm didn't only sell the site, they also sell their core tested.com fans. And "We were really short on time so we wrote that it's Jamie and Adam's website" is a really weak excuse. I also think Will & Norm are very dazzled by this new celebrities and not seeing the big picture here. Seriously, go look at their wikipedia pages."

What is Tested? So much for personality driven content. How to Not Be Annoying. After seeing the site launch yesterday I suddenly understand where all of this is going. It isn't Whiskey anymore. "Hey, you guys can stay on, but you just post some news to fill in the non A&J gaps? However we, on the outside, see it clear as diamond... Yeah, everything is clearly not going to be fine, or the same, and I don't think things are going to turn out quite as well as Will is saying they will. If you are worried about annoying other people and are seeking solutions to solve that problem, you have already won half the battle. 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. it makes perfect sense. Whose faces are the top of the site? We don't know any of the background facts yet and most of our fears and worries stem from pure speculation. Learn more. 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. Norman Chan is one of Tested.com co-founders (along with Will Smith). It fit well with one of the company's other clients who are helping to make a new show....can you guess who that is? An unbiased estimate can be constructed from the sample data (eq. Even the logo says Jamie and Adam Tested. (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.). It's still a work-in-progress. I don't care what they spin it as. I think that is kind of my issue. @Marokai: Yeah, but why does Tested being redesigned & repurposed have to be a bad thing? I don't think Jamie and Adam knew what Tested was before their involvement, and I doubt they have any sort of grasp (and probably don't care) about the drastic changes the site and it's users are currently going through. They are the community that made site popular. 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. Well it is to me, certainly more so than "hey, a new mobile phone I'll never own". I don't like how they just put the pictures of Jamie and Adam on top of Tested. And seriously, they didn't even get a pay raise out of this shitstorm? 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. @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 was like..."Hey, this is Jamie and Adam and we have an awesome new website, we guess! In time, you should be seeing their face on the front page more including their old tweet box. Calculate the T score using the … I like Tested. It sucks to just have to wait and see. Rather, it just creates anxiety in people that would not normally be as anxious or worried. Brilliant observation. 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. If Will and Norm are still a part of Tested in a year I'll be pretty surprised. I mean, yeah it was a big change for all of us but just deal with it. It's literally been like 3 or 4 days since we first found out and nothing really substantial has happened apart from the new Tested design and even that wasn't that bad. 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 bet there will be next to no interaction or collaboration between the Mythbusters and Tested teams. That's the thing from Tested for me. In such sampling, the mean of the norms sample is usually a biased estimate of the mean of the norms population. Adam & Jamie are out on tour at the moment. 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. Seems to me that Will and Norm were just starstruck by the idea of working with them. 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. 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.
