oh 1 minute early holy cow it's almost
like we have taken organizational pills
and uh I don't know where Slick's going he's apparently the totally drunk oh no
don't don't oh wait right white balance we can do that okay good do the
thing they're all going to be like yeah
what tune in for tech chat one and a
half hours of a white piece of paper woo
okay that's worse is that worse yeah don't worry about it it's
okay okay give me a sec it's all right
are we on yeah we're on hi hi everybody they can't hear you
you're behind the shotgun mik uh we up when I talked yeah I no no I know hello
hello hello they can definitely hear me yeah they can hear you I know you know what why don't I go make sure the
stream's actually working this week for those of you who joined us last week
you'll remember this for those of you who didn't this will be a pretty
hilarious story uh last week we actually
talked for about half an hour before we
realized that um our our broadcast was
not actually on so this week we are
going through the uh the the precautionary measure that is to
actually check that we are indeed broadcasting because uh xits being a
tool and um uh oh our black magic
intensity Pro cards are being tools and
yet again um so yeah we're like done with these does anyone want to buy a
pair of Blackmagic intensity Pro capture cards HDMI capture uh does analog
capture as well don't we still need it for dual cam unboxings no we don't even
use it we just go on SD cards now y let's
let's do a quick discussion of uh the new system that is going to be used for
unboxings actually I think I uploaded the last of the ones with the gibbled
audio and uh we are we are no long okay
what we were trying to do was we were trying to use xsplit as a capture so we
were doing what's called live to tape so we had two cameras and then I was using
a switcher to switch actually here I was using this exact switcher to switch
between scenes and xsplit as we went so
I'd go blah blah blah something up close click and I was like oh this is so cool
now we can switch to the closeup camera it's awesome you know what it's the stupidest thing ever because I okay
xplit has other advantages like we were able to use it to make slight
corrections to the color between the two cameras to make sure that they both look
as close as possible um so that was cool but the problem is that xplit does
a couple of things number one it outputs FLV files which are ridiculous because
nothing works with them number two is it outputs a variable frame rate you hear
that xplit developers no
bad no so variable frame rate does a couple of
really cool things uh number one is it U
just has a hissy fit if you import it into certain video editing programs even
to do something as simple as cut out slick uttering a swear word in the
middle of me trying to film an unboxing what really no no I'm just oh okay I was
like when was that um so if you want to cut something out big problem you want
to do anything big problem number two is
the audio e syncs because like there was
one that I uploaded three times and I think the viewers were super mad because
they were like w they can't even fix audio synch you know what I can't fix
the audio synchronization when it red desyncs every like half a minute of
footage so I was just like okay this is the best I can do I uploaded it and that
was it that was all I could do um so that's like uh to even edit really
really really simple things we'd have to transcode it which is just like why and
takes a long time it takes a long time it your whole computer lowers the
quality and it's just like why did I have to do that so so anyway the new
system is we just um do a dual cam setup
where both of the people are assuming that they recording oh oh xsplit also
borked our audio because we couldn't monitor the audio properly because of
the way that xplit works which meant that um we got a clipping in like eight
unboxing that we filmed all at the same time and the magic of unboxings is we
don't get to Rebox stuff like it's it's
once it's done it's done what you got oh
yeah that that oh yeah the other thing and this was kind of our bad is wait
well no this was okay these I'm I'm explaining how we sync the audio now in
the new videos oh right so with two cameras how do you make sure that the ab
sync is correct so slick go ahead and explain this high technology device that
they've probably never heard of before well I don't know some people I'm just
trolling at the beginning of the video both the cameras start rolling at different times oh I didn't even explain
yet so we're just recording to SD yeah
and then we drop it in Premiere and you can just split switch between cameras
that way rather than trying to do a live to tape thing because then whoever's
editing it can just make decisions about which camera to go to so audio sync um
I'll explain the really cool thing in Premiere that you were trying to explain
in more depth in a second but at the beginning we don't exactly start
recording at the same time Diesel and I so lineus will go like this I'm not
going to actually Let It Drop because I don't know how long loud that's going to come through but it makes a really loud
clicking noise and everyone goes quiet before and after it so when the editor
goes in you can line up that instead of just trying to eyeball the shots because
you just try and Eyeball the shots it'll never be perfect and that was the problem we were trying to fix audio sync
issues without any reference point and with a variable frame rate that very
depending like when you dropped it into Premiere like Vegas just freaked when
you tried to put the footage in it just wouldn't accept it and then premere
would average out the frame rate of the entire Clips you'd get a you'd get a
file that's 28.5 three FPS and you're
just like huh what what so we go we
check our xplit settings we're like
what what is this Foody magic anyways yeah we're learning uh diesel was
showing me and I still am getting used to Premiere because I'm used to like
Noob level Vegas but um diesel was
showing me this thing where you input both video files and then there's a
window on the right that'll show you both playing and then there's a red box around whatever one you have selected
and you just bind One camera to one and the other camera to two and whenever you
want to switch you just do it on your keyboard so it's what he had to do live
but no longer live and from a third person view so it's super easy and way
more clean and the color correction we've actually got the cameras tuned
pretty close now whereas we were having a lot of trouble getting the colors
right I don't know if you guys remember back when we did the um Tokyo FL Japan
watch that was the first time we used the fs700 as an aam and the xa10 as a
bcam which was the wrong approach anyway because the XA 10 should be the lock
shot and the fs700 should be the up close one because it's so gorgeous and
um something something keep going I have a phone call uh yes you are live on the lius
tech tips show
hello that was anticlimactic hello it is
continuously anticlimactic you're watching and you're
drunk who is this yeah seriously who is
this you're in Iowa all right well apparently we have our very first live
caller so hold on hold on just a
minute all right sorry um wait I'm just
going to turn up my speaker phone here okay can I get your name
sir I'm
sorry who is this I don't know do do you
have a tech
question I think he's very very intoxicated I think he is quite
intoxicated okay you know what sir we're we're going to have to try this again
sometime when you're feeling a little bit more up to it but uh thank thank
thank you for calling in to Linus Tech tips um so to be clear guys this is not
a Sports Talk radio show and if you call into a show it's kind of a known thing
that you don't listen to the show anymore because it's obviously going to
be at different times so you kind of need to focus on the call so that
everyone watching the show can actually understand what you're trying to say so I think what happened is he was one of
the uh 140 or so viewers who caught a
video that I upload loed that had my phone number in it so um I'd appreciate
if you guys don't call that number it is my cell phone I do get build for those
calls so uh there you go but why don't we dive into some Twitter questions
having gone through that random experience and here we go 37 new
interactions techx says I am lucky I was
able to catch this I've been trying to get Windows to work since yesterday finally fixed it two minutes ago all
right rapid storage technology actually is a bit of a nightmare to deal with
sometimes because you install it once and then everything seems to work and
then if you change anything and reboot it's just like nope I don't want to do
anything I quit yeah and it just it can be quite
when it's working it's great because everything just kind of works you can
hot plug everything and what do you want
about he wants Twitter stuff all right all right all right uh I spent three
hours watching cat videos while waiting for midnight and did you know crazy
Russian is good at dancing the Crazy Russian is excellent at dancing we're
all going to visit his YouTube channel together I've never seen this you
haven't seen this I always forget to go look um oh crap um B Dash sod I
believe B sod uh hold on hold on guys
I'm working on this I'm genuinely working on this maybe just do a search I
think it's B Dash sod oh just I spelled
Dash wrong no it's okay it's okay calm down calm down
there he is oh yeah here we go all right so this is the YouTube channel of the
one and only crazy Russian there's music
you'll just have to trust me on this but uh this is this is the Russian doing his
thing
oh and okay
here he goes there we go he's doing his thing
again he has music actually playing but I'm going to be the music you want to
help
me look at these
guys oh Russian how I do adore thee um
so anyway that is the crazy Rush
YouTube channel B bod on the YouTu east side or maybe
he's Westside I don't know but uh anyway we love the Russian very dearly so go
visit his channel comment on his videos tell him Lina sent you and that you
enjoy his dancing uh Zachary asks best use for
Home Server I use mine to store my data
and to stream transcoded videos to my portable devices in fact I mentioned
this in my last I switched video where I'm doing my 30 days of Windows Phone 8
which is okay postpone my update is ready to be installed evidently um one
sec what do you want to aboute reading a comment this is
public huh someone said make sure you post a video saying it's live oh it's
possible that it's was still publishing to everyone uh what was I talking about
oh right yeah so I found a substitute for air video which is called uh cloud
with a que so you can go to your server
and then you can you know go to your videos and you can browse your videos so
what happens is my Home Server uses its CPU power to transcode the video into
something um something uh smaller so
that it's easy to beam to you whether it's over regular Wi-Fi or over your
cellular data okay looking to upgrade
from a 6770 with a 669 TI maxing out at
720p yes did you really just shrug a 660
at 720p why is he running 720p yeah why are you running 720p
that's my shrug upgrade your monitor no it's
possible he has an older HDTV and maybe it's a media PC sir post
this on the Forum this is more interesting yeah post it on the lonus tech tips Forum we need more details
yeah we need more details vid is choppy I know uh we yeah we can kind of see it
like there's a little bit of chop tastic to it honestly I don't think there's anything we can do about it because the
black magic was just causing outright crashes so dropped 71 frames never seen
that before yeah we're dropping frames I don't know it's bizarre um sorry we
don't really do like autographs um just
because we're actually not that cool I mean you can send something to slick and
he can autograph it for you slick actually here can you auto here slick
can you autograph my case for me I would never touch that case with anything that
would make a mark on it so guys my tj07
has arrived I'm actually not done
putting it back together yet but you know do you want to go operate the
camera yeah they can't see the wrinkle yeah they can't see the black wrinkle finish so here we're going to do a bit
of a segment here where I'm uh going to
talk about my black wrinkle coded tj7 okay so the first thing I'd like to
address is people have asked me why
would you strip and repaint your tj07 in
instead of just buying a new case Okay so a couple reasons number one is that
the tj7 is my favorite case and my wife gave me this one uh back when we were
dating uh number two is that think about
the cost so I spent $250 powder coating
it I spent about 150 or 100 and something uh stripping it in the first
place to get it powder coated and so people are like oh well it's so much
work and you could just buy a new case and I'm like okay yes it's so much work
but a new T t07 costs around 350 50
bucks plus then I'd have to powder coat it now we're looking at $600 whereas I
spent $450 or 500 bucks so there that's
one reason also people are like oh all the modifications you have to do to this
case like cable management holes and well mostly the cable management holes
you wouldn't have to do that on a newer case and I'm like well yeah but I don't like a newer case as much as I like the
tj07 and so if I bought another tj07 I
would just have to do all those Cable Management holes and stuff like that
anyway so that is why I decided to go this route okay so let's have a look at
the finish uh Mountain mods did make a couple small mistakes but overall I'm
still pleased with the result so you want to zoom in have a look so this is
the black wrinkle and slicks working on the focus so that you guys can actually
see what I'm talking about oh yes there we go as George te would say oh my so
rather than the anodized finish that comes stock on this case we now have
kind of a textured look that is extremely resilient so it's not uh not
subject to damage very easily from sort
of random random scuffs when you're you know routing cables around and things
like that I'm just going to I want to zoom out a little bit so they can sort
of see it overall so cable Management's going to be done I have all uh not
individually but two wires per sleeve done wires so they're going to come out
around the board this way um I still
still haven't decided if I'm going to live stream the actual building of it
yet because it's kind of a pain to
coordinate live streaming it especially because I'll be kind of working at it
working on it all hours of night let me do a focus on the BL yeah yeah yeah
don't worry that's why I'm bringing this over here I've also got those of you who follow me on Twitter will know about
this so I've also got the block mounted on the board so I haven't quite decided
if I'm going to go permanently with the crucial ballistics Tracer memory that's
in here now but that's what the goldplated Apple HD with the black
wrinkle painted hold down so that'll actually match the finish of the inside
of the case those are bit Phenix um
goldplated compression fittings those are your 58 OD 38 ID H Phoenix did I say
bit Phoenix I meant bits power sorry bit Phoenix doesn't make uh compression
fittings and then uh so that is going to go in there got my uh got big plans got
a lot of stuff going on lot of stuff
going on I get to be the deci about this particular computer here so that's
exciting finally making some progress I'm hoping to have a desktop computer
for the first time since slick and I have been working together um on my desk
sometime in the next I don't know what do you think can I get it done in a
week uh maybe maybe we have a busy week
I know like a really busy week I know that's the only reason why I'm saying
maybe I'm not saying like oh you can't do it like I just think we're really
busy um and you have other
preoccupations yeah I know I have to work a Saturday which kind of sucks yeah
but whatever so here I've got something you
apparently wanted to talk about while I look for something to talk about ah yes
here excited so slick needs to borrow my
PlayStation 3 that I have used exactly one time when I had that Street Fighter
tournament with Tom the ncx artist
okay so a lot of people are going to be like why the heck not there why why the
heck is slick excited for a PS3 yeah why are you excited about a PS3 that's a
console okay um you almost smell worse
already just cuz the PS3 is here no just cuz you don't shower often
what jerk anyways um so a lot of you probably know
what Eve is the big spaceship game um in
that there's tons of different styles of combat and huge Wars constantly going on
anyways the CCP the guys who make Eve just finished developing a game called
Dust 514 Dust 514 is a first-person
shooter game that is going to integrate with Eve so the idea is that you're
still inside the eve universe but you are mercenaries that will fight on
planetary surfaces so oh excited for
that um like big corporations or little guys or whatever can hire you out as
mercenaries to attack different targets and fight in an FPS game being hired by
people in the spaceship game you look a lot bigger than me can you move
back there we go that's better still a lot bigger than you yeah I know whatever
I it up why don't you just talk about your play um but unfortunately it's only
on freaking PlayStation cccp they're a PC developer
make it for PC what are you doing it's a free to-play game so I don't have to
invest in anything into it which is nice but like okay what here's my
speculation I okay okay here I've been saying for a while that one of the
reasons that modern games are kind of
like easier is because you have to compensate for stuff that we didn't used
to so LCD TVs have way higher input leg compared to CRT TVs the Mario argument
yeah um yeah the mar the Mario thing that we've talked about before um any
game that relies on an internet connection that goes beyond even your
own your own internet connection might be fine but if it relies on someone else
with a 250 millisecond ping the game
just has to be dumbed down so here's my speculation because the eve universe is
so large and so inherently probably
latency ridden easy to run yeah but it
doesn't matter if it's easy to run because it's a latency issue not a bandwidth is due to Graphics being so
far away it's not hard to run there isn't really that much latency problems in you okay but if it okay so there
aren't latency problems from of course there's latency problems a flying
perspective but if it was a twitch firstperson shooter like a counter
shooter you can interface with the other Universe yes you're not in the other
Universe oh you're not in the other it's own game it's on a PS3 it's not the same
engine okay I thought it was within the
other Universe I don't think somehow I don't think so I think they'll probably
I'm certain they'll talk to each other of course they have to in some way but
they're not actually the exact same thing okay that would be insane so it's
free to play if nothing is it free to play permanently I honestly this is a
lot of stuff that I picked up very quickly off of a website that I just
kind of skimmed so I read freeo playay
um apparently the financials that you're dealing with is isk and arum isk is well
the game was developed in Iceland so isk is Icelandic money but isk in the game
is just normal money AUM is money that you can put into the game um but they're
saying it's not a p win I think right now the RM is only going to be used for
cosmetic changes which is fine I have no problem with that okay people will buy
it anyway though yep for some reason uh Eve when they first introduced this had
like really really expensive stuff like
$25 jackets and like a lot of really
expensive stuff like monol that you could buy that were like super uber
expensive here's a debate for you um
is it okay okay like you and I would probably sit privately and talk about
how it's crazy to buy an in-game customization thing for your character I
have though you have okay see this I didn't know but I would argue it is
crazy but I have okay I would argue that it's not any different from buying a
cool hoodie to wear which is why honestly I have my favorite character in
Eve I have every oh favorite character in League of Legends there we go
completely different game I have every single skin for I didn't buy all those a
couple of them were gifted to me but I think I bought like two and like I've
played if you think about it over the course of playing that character I've played like before they changed
everything because now you can't track the amount of losses and wins per
character in all of your games really you used to be able to now it's only
ranked why would they take that out I don't know it's really annoying actually
there might be some weird funky way to do it externally from the game but not internally anyways before they took that
out so pre-season one we're now in I think season three or four I don't
really follow that much anymore but preseason one I had like 1400 games
played and each game is like half an hour so I had tons of time poured into
this don't don't figure it out don't
figure it out I'm doing it okay
so400 games games okay so times
30 is okay 42,000 minutes divided by 60
is 700 hours k ID
24 is you spent literally an entire
month of time that sounds about right actually yeah like an entire month of
time actually like in matches then so
not counting launching the game wait yes
I would that would cuz I'm thinking well I'm sing off my xfire time for a quick
second oh okay cuz my xfire time is absurd but I would idle it for like a
day so it didn't really right I used to
play a lot I used to be really good I'm not really good anymore kind of trash
now but whatever um actually you're good at some things that's not
fair um what was I going to say yeah so I bought skins for that but then I
played it so much right that it was like whatever so you justify it that way yeah
I wanted to it to look cool it's a free-to-play game if I'm only putting
that much money in and I used it for that amount of time like that's fine I
don't care all right DJs joining in from
new jisy tuning in live for the first time from the UK next to con will they
raise the hardware Market back to expensive levels for example RAM is way
cheaper than years ago um you know what
the PC industry does this to itself where it keep like H they just kill
margins they just well what okay the consumer says over and over again more
Choice more Choice more Choice more competitors but I would argue that in
some ways it can actually hurt the consumer so I know you don't like this
argument but we we're going down this path whether you like it or not um
here's an example if there was two players in the
market and let's say they were both extremely principled and believed in
building the highest quality widget okay they both believed in
building the highest quality widget let's say one of them had 70% market
share and one of them had 30% market share and one of them you know tried to do more promotions or do do whatever
else but but but by and large they
didn't sort of bow to shareholder pressure to increase their revenues x
amount percent year-over-year do whatever else they need to do but they
they believed in building the best widget and making a decent margin let's
say competitors C or D or e or F or G
all pile into this market and make cheap ripoffs all of a sudden those first two
guys have to compromise the quality they
have to this is a new angle in this argument that I have to agree with and
we talked about this a little while ago when we were talking about this case we
don't want to go way too in we can screw it tj07 we both believe that it's pretty
much the best case ever made um I mean
there might be a couple notable exceptions You could argue Charles's Mark 2 or Mark II or whatever it's
called which is just an iteration of the tj07 is better in some ways it's not
better for my purposes it can't hold enough drives for one thing uh it's very
limited in terms of I'm still expecting to be using this case 5 years from now I
don't know what Hardware is going to look like I don't know if it fits in the way he's done his cable management so
there there's all that stuff very specific um you could argue the tj11 is
better because it has more features it's newer I wouldn't necessarily agree that
it's better I still like this one more though and the form factor is nicer
because it's not quite so huge yeah but anyway we both agree that it's better
and even this case so this case is what it must be like six seveny old design
now might even be more than that because they have a new iteration even yeah it's
it's an old design uh so there so there's that and even this case has been
downgraded because things like metal are
still on the Ryzen terms of costs they're not going to get cheaper the
actual amount that a consumer is willing to pay I mean when you can buy a bit
Phoenix MC for
$30 I think fewer people are going to drop 300 on a tj07 now you could argue
that's a different customer however you could also go okay just because a
customer has $300 to blow on their computer doesn't mean they drop it on
their case maybe they put it into their
video card maybe they decide okay well you know case doesn't matter because a
great computer these days costs only around 1,200 bucks so why am I blowing a
ton of why am I going to spend 3 400 on a really nice case right because that's
25% of your budget now whereas when you were spending $22,000 to get an awesome
gaming machine $300 for a case didn't seem like such a crazy thing okay but I
mean you can make the argument that it's good for prices to decline it's good for
consumers to get more more performance for their dollar this um this comes in
with almost every Market too we're not even just saying PCS like like if you
just look at jeans how denim changed over the years current denim like if you
go by Levis current denim is not at the same quality that it used to be y it's
just like it's weird to think about that like back when shoes were handmade when
you compare that to Nikes that you had to spend $100 on I mean do people buy
Nikes anymore I don't know but in the '90s anyway when I was a kid I'm 100%
sure Nikes are still popular the point is that when when what is it cobbler
cobbler yeah yeah when a cobbler made shoes out of leather and like stitched
with hide like those things were meant to last for years bolts in your soul
like they were heavy they were uncomfortable but but they were built
they built they durable and whatever so there's less incentive for the
manufacturers to keep iterating on products that that are inherently
expensive to manufacture so even this case has been downgraded since I bought
it this Bend right here is a perfect curve for me on the newer versions of
the case there's a fold and then a fold
it's subtle but it's there if you look on the inside rather than bending it out
right uh Silverstone now scores it twice
in order to get that uh almost a perfect not quite a perfect curve I think that
streamlines the production process because it makes it easier to do and I
think it also makes it more likely that the side panels will fit from case to
case early TJ 07s you could take the side panels off one and put put them on
another one they just wouldn't even fit cuz it was like custom done pretty much
yeah um so I don't remember where we
were going with that oh yeah will the hardware will Hardware get more
expensive again I I doubt it I seriously doubt it but then cuz oh right cuz all
the PC guys they just you have competitors a b CDE e f and g all
driving price down because they have to hit Revenue targets and the only way to
do that is to drop the price if you can
sell it for half as much I mean and you guys can go oh well they have they have
so much margin they make so much money no they don't HX went out of business
kimand went out of business there's no money in RAM like what are you crazy you
can see what the margins are they're all public companies there's no money in it
when they drop their price and sell it below their manufacturing cost they are
dropping their price and selling below their manufacturing cost and when they
sell below their manufacturing cost for something that costs billions in R&D for
every new process Noe shink think about
that yeah they have to ship like
containers on containers of this stuff and it's RAM and when you're at a loss
you don't get to make it up in volume anymore so so yeah no I I I don't know
but they do it to themselves time and time and time again so I don't think
they'll learn uh got up at 6:00 a.m.
yeah Chris wants to know if we're live yet yes no no no we're not here no we're
not here go away y have you heard about this no I should
have had this on the news I didn't when I saw him say that I was like oh yeah oh
that should have been on the news Well portal basically was a movie portal
would make a sweet movie and half they're both pretty much movies yeah
pretty much so like do it I'm stoked I
actually like um you bull as the Director uh wasn't it uh no no I mean I
think he should be oh
yeah um I think I think he's talking to JJ Abrams legitimately I think he's
talking to J.J Abrams I read that down for that yeah no like seriously that
would be sweet that would be freaking awesome and it's Gabe nle if he really
wants JJ Abrams he can probably get JJ
Abrams like probably eat JJ
ABS no I like Gabe me too
okay douche he's still
fat what was I going to say I had something to say he's
brilliant one of my favorite Visionaries of our time he's crazy you got to watch
that presentation eats babies you got to watch his business
presentation it's really all right James asks do you think
that current games or those coming out will be able to fully utilize The
increased power of the GTX 700 series gpus
um okay well let's tie this into a couple things if you guys don't already
know about it basically go buy an AMD graphics card right now uh what games
are they doing so they have another never subtle bundle for 7900 series you
get Crisis 3 and Bioshock BioShock
Infinite and for 7,800 series you get
BioShock Infinite and Tomb Raider so my understanding is BioShock Infinite is
supposed to be not a steaming pile of um
it's a game complete revamp BioShock 2
was Bioshock one I loved BioShock 2 I made it through like 10 minutes and I
was just like this is stupid because of him I played Bioshock one and even
though I have it just nope not playing BioShock 2 no it's not worth it I just
don't want to ruin it for myself so I'm super stoked on BioShock Infinite I hope
I'm cautiously optimistic I wouldn't pre-order it after my I pre-ordered
BioShock 2 for those of you who don't know that um but I'm super stoked on
infinite and Crisis 3 I am just like
awesome oh I'm so I'm so excited about
they' continuously released quality yep y I mean crisis was awesome crisis is
one of the few FPS games that I've actually played all the way through a
reasonably long story mode campaign yeah just CU mostly I kind of lose patience
with it and I'm just like oh whatever this hallway is kind of hard to get
through I don't care anymore Warhead I wasn't as interested I didn't play
Warhead sorry actually no I didn't play Warhead I I did a little bit of it and
then was like I heard it was just kind of the same game yeah that's why I
wasn't as interested but C one was epic and crisis 2 is really good far nothing
neither of them were as good as far cry though Far Cry 3 is just like oh I
haven't played Far Cry 3 I mean Far Cry 1 oh one of the first things you have to
do once this is built is play Far Cry 3 seriously okay like seriously a great
game all right done um I'll play Far Cry 3 good it's honestly like really really
really fun and will run okay on my on my people keep making fun of me for my
graphics card what is up with that just cuz it's not current Jen so what I just
I'm explaining so what it's not cringy I'm
not the one making fun of you what is there to make fun of about this graphics
card this is a GTX 590 you know what
it's as fast if not faster than a 680 and it looks awesome it's got like
glowing lights on it it's water that's like a sweet water Block it's kind of
like the best water block actually it's so awesome anyway so this will be going
in my rig and like this is cool that's what's actually going to show when you put in your
that so there's like a glowing light on the side of it you can see where that
little silver logo is so I've got my silver compressions in
there show them what they're actually going to see there we go there's the
back plate absolutely gorgeous brushed aluminum back plate that I've never once
touched so it doesn't have any stains on it that's the way to go um okay so back
to uh so the never settle bundle looks freaking awesome but back to GTX 700
series cards Crisis 3 I I think is going
to be the one look at the requirements for it look how it's running in in Alpha
on current generation cards crisis three is going to be the next can it run
crisis stoked three stoked I love it
when there's stuff like that my favorite period in like PC Building and PC
modding was Crisis one yep that was like
oh my God like everything just exploded everyone like forums and everything we
like cuz it bent over your system and
then a new generation of graphics cards would conquer it and then a new like
highres texture mod would come out it's just like
no no no sit bad so that was awesome that
was so awesome I'm looking forward to having some
justification to own a high-end PC again
well like that's what everyone kind of did was they're like oh I can't run
crisis optimally time to upgrade time to
finally get super enthusiastic about building time to like over clock my
machine that I've been sitting here with it not overclocked for matter 6 months
because who cares I can't tell the difference between 55 FPS and 59 FPS
whereas you can tell the difference between 24 and 29 oh completely you can
tell the difference between like 24 and 26 yeah night and night and day so
that's uh oh it's exciting so yes I do
believe there's hope for at least for the near-term PC
gaming um slick do you like the new ranked system in League okay we're
moving on uh was slick a part of the battle of
asakai yes hi I have a Microsoft Surface
and do you know if I can put iTunes on it probably not no no you can't don't
put iTunes on anything Pro tip did you fire slick yet um no actually I haven't
fired him he hasn't done anything particularly horrible yet will slick
ever have a new jacket also don't forget the Windows 8 giveaway okay we won't
forget the Windows 8 giveaway um new
jacket show the video perfect segue okay all right it's not a new no we're not
playing the video we're not no they can't see the video oh but then what
were you going to do I was just going to show them the screenshot for those of you them who aren't following on Twitter
all right yeah sorry guys we can't share this video with you yet it is still uh
it's still under embargo for another I think seven days or so but this is
something that slick and Diesel and I have been working on extremely hard and
we are extremely excited about so um I
hope you guys can see this I think they can see it right I don't know if you're
on the right set I'll make sure it's on the right thing so this is a freeze this
is a still frame of an upcoming uh this
is going on the Techquickie channel so this is a project that we're producing
for um you know what we might as well say who it's for because it'll be pretty
obvious based on the headset I'm wearing yeah so that's a that's a Corsair
headset that is you know it's blurry so you guys probably can't tell exactly
which one it is but don't worry about it too much so this is a video project
we're producing for Corsair for this headset that um we are just super
excited about the video is only about a minute a minute and a half long but the
sheer amount of epicness okay I took a lot of flack for buying an fs700 which
is an 8700 8600 basically it's a $9,000 camera
plus all the yeah oh right plus the lights for another three grand plus plus
plus plus plus M plus the new
stand lot Mone okay you know what shut
up man shut up man you're killing me here basically you're poor now basically
I'm poor now yes uh so I had a lot of people giving me a hard time about this
this video is why I did this because and
it shows like it's actually legendary oh
we shot so much of it at 240 FPS so it's
like like every like that still frame you saw there was like a cra happy
capture off of playing the low low res version no no in its full 1080p glory in
super slow mode with water driplets like
falling off the headset in slow motion cuz it's actually raining in the sea
yeah like we we didn't just like hose it like we were actually completely soaked
it was kind of uncomfortable yeah but it looked good yeah but it looked good uh
and so therefore it is totally worth it um yeah we're really excited about this
so that actually leads us into a discussion topic that I would like to
that I would like to talk about um so for those of you I guess I
haven't I haven't really addressed this we're gonna we're going to sort of talk about this on Twitter for a bit so guys
do not tweet anything that is not about
the thing that we're going to talk about right now what's this what's this I could have got you never bring a sword
to a gunfight slick actually when you guys watch the video you're going to see
that the 15 to 20 ft he closes it fast
enough but if I didn't if we hadn't rehearsed it if I didn't know he was coming he'd have probably gotten
me uh okay okay here we'll do a couple
more Twitter questions and then we'll move into why exactly we're making a
video for Corsair so okay um never bring
a sword to a gunfight build a water cooling system as a reference and then
only swap in one part so we can get graphs over which part is best uh the
best way to actually test water cooling components against each other is in a
controlled environment and unfortunately a system is is not a controlled
environment you need to take um you need to get pressure curves you need to get
flow rates you need to get thermal transfer at given flow rates it's very
complicated stuff and there's probably only a handful of liquid cooling guys
and so skinny Labs and then probably swifttech are the only ones I can think
of that have proper gear to test water cooling stuff I know you said it before
but what headphones do you use uh steel series 7h uh dual 570s or go with a
single 600 series you know what dropping in another 570 Is
Not a Bad Bet 600 series was um a small
iteration went now okay I didn't actually read that part not a major
architecture change do you think 8 ssds is a good idea no because the onboard
LSI controller is not bootable if I Rec oh no I think it is but it's uh it's
limited in terms of the maximum throughput uh and if you put eight8 ssds
on it you're going to just destroy that Max get yourself a real raid card what's
your favorite gaming motherboard uh any motherboard
uh well okay I shouldn't say that uh if I had to pick a favorite motherboard for
gaming the things that I care about for gaming are things like better sound um
things like cool looks you care too whatever yeah no I
wasn't even hating on that at all looks totally matter I like having you know
Intel Lan like No Frill sort of no random extra software that I have run to
make things work I like having fan control uh like with all these things in
mind I'd probably go with something like an Empower or something like um Maximus
5 formula yeah yeah uh best fan bearing
type I don't know whatever Noctua uses cuz holy
crap why when I download The Crisis 3 beta I launch it and all I see is a
black screen with the mouse cursor origin let's just be done with
that watching live for the first time ever yay Sean Brogan yeah I I kind of
read that as Seth Rogan and I was like holy
crap watching us
it's not how it went down uh with the new installment of ddr4 RAM and LGA 2011
Ive CPUs what do you expect of the upcoming motherboards features and
performance more features and better performance yeah slick ever end up going
to godon yep okay cool oh yeah you won
something at goton yeah I won Battlefield 3 Premium and like the whole
thing like Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 3 Premium some 14-year-old melted off to
him or something so okay so
I was pretty upset um my my brother a
really good friend of mine and a buddy that I've met over time were all on one
team but we didn't have Battlefield 3 pre-installed on the computers that we
brought to the land cool story bro and we show up and there's a Battlefield 3
tournament so we sign up but we borrow other people's machines because they have them pre-installed I just grab my
peripheral sit down and go so we're all spread out throughout the land party the
other team is in one perfect little row and is all set up and we don't play my
team does not play Battlefield 3 together um so certain ones there had
never played a game together um and we're all spread out so we have very V
minimal communication because like I didn't have a working mic and like blah
blah blah blah blah like it wasn't like we weren't in the best situation we
start off the round it's 5 to zero for
them and its first group to 20 kills so we're not doing good um and I have three
of those deaths so I'm like I'm going to single-handedly lose us this game and I
start joking around with the guy beside me that because the team on the other
side of the table is using like code names for where they are code names for
each other code names for different hallways like serious which is awesome
but we just weren't so this is round one
right this is round one okay and these guys were expected to to win okay like
the whole thing like serious business yeah so I'm sitting beside a guy beside
me monacle the guy beside me and I start
making jokes about how I'm an extra in a movie because I keep dying so much and
just like not really caring that much at this point you're ridiculous and then
I'm sitting at the bottom of this stairs just getting suppressed and being and then the guy sitting across
the table from me starts openly making fun of me and then I got pissed off yeah
that guy at the bottom of the stairs what a loser what a loser Bas pone himas
basically um and then I ended the round 16 and
four so I just destroyed everyone and we won the game and then top prizes was a
bit Phoenix XL or video games right so
you took the Battlefield 3 Premium good choice you XL is a good
case yeah okay maybe not good but it's not bad yeah but we also had to get it
back right you're on the island and three of us are all going in the same
vehicle screw that noise like it was not the shobi XL is a big case we lost the
last round for clarification oh did you we lost the last round so you guys came
in second but we had actually like talked about purposely losing it we did not purposely lose it but we had talked
about it and it was 4 in the morning and like it was not a very good situation oh
so I'm not worried about that okay all right do you think you could have beat
them I think so yeah that's what losers say we didn't lose by a huge amount we
didn't lose by a huge amount and like my brother and I didn't do as great as we
did the previous round okay and yada y y
um all right so okay so let's talk about
our new topic which is why would Li I'm
list I just remembered what you're talking about what the new topic yeah
new topic just remember just keep going
don't good work okay so the new topic is
we want to take your guys' thoughts because for those of you who don't know
um one month and eight days ago I uh did
resign my position that I had for
full-time monetary employment which is not the correct way
to say that but not too worri about it at this point in time um so I am now uh
running my own company which is called creatively lonus Media Group
Inc I know it's a stupid name just calm
down um at least I don't work for lonus
Media Group it's worse it's so much
worse it's so bad if someone asked me they're like oh who do you work for I'm
like uh um lus Media Group they like oh
who's lus and I'm like my my
boss don't worry about it it's okay so
um so so l so lus Media Group so um I
don't know if you guys know this but slick and I used to work together on on
Tech tips in general Linus Tech tips MC Tech tips even cat videos from time to
time he'd help out with and um so but he was he was never
actually he never actually worked at NC
so uh so slick has joined um has joined
my new company diesel has joined my new company diesel is no longer an intern we
still call him diesel the intern sort of you know casually but he is not an
intern by any stretch of the imagination he is very much an important part of our
team and uh we are trying to do some
interesting stuff so I want to be real clear upfront with you guys that lonus
sort of the Productions that we do whether it's for so I've been showing
previews of this for a long time this is why I acquired all this gear um this is
why I was trying to figure out how to do a more professional style whether it was
the watch or whether it was the Galaxy Tab 2 or whatever that tablet was
or that thing or the Corsair Survivor Stealth or even that I know the one the
uh the the camera mount thing with all the claws so we were trying different
video Styles I think a lot of you probably saw the video we did on the
Corsair Survivor Stealth the USB 3 drive
that was our first actual project that we worked on as uh as our new as our new
unit wasn't Perfect by any stretch of the imagination but it was uh it was
something that you know we could be we could be proud of it's not a review to
be very clear although we still feel strongly about not saying anything that
we don't believe is true and not working with Partners who believe deliver shoddy
service or shoddy products or anything like that um so I don't know if you guys
have noticed but the Techquickie channel so that's youtube.com tequi is a
completely separate stream from Linus Tech tips it's a very different style of
content the fastest Possible episodes are aimed at more like uh like quick
digestible information that may be sometimes more complicated like how to
install a CPU and may sometimes be less
complicated like um what's
usb3 so it's it's stuff that you can watch or stuff that you can share with
your mom when she asks you a question and and like quick reference stuff like
stuff that you're probably going to have to repetitively look up like we have videos on raid different different
levels of raid which like you're probably not going to be able
to memorize all that kind of stuff so if you need to just reference really quick
all the time you don't want to like Wiki it and look there some people prefer a
video versus looking it up on Wikipedia or whatever else Some people prefer that
and that's why we're here uh that's why we exist at all so um so right so
there's that and then the Techquickie channel will also be a repository for
any uh any content that we
are hired to produce so that's the
Survivor Stealth that's the Voyager air Corsair actually used the Voyager Air at
their press event at CES to launch the product to the media which was very cool
one thing that we want to be absolutely ridiculous clear about
100% clear about is this angle is
touching Techquickie this angle is not
touching lineus Tech tips Linus Tech tips will remain just us getting edor
editorial content yeah us getting product reviewing the product unboxing
the products like yeah just more kind of bloggy kind of stuff us figuring stuff
out like benchmarking games you know little tips like the one we did about
true Crypt not that long ago so so keeping it real online as Tech tips the
only things that'll really change is hopefully quality improvements no like
actual status level of the channel yeah and I mean little quality improvements
like dual cam like not like quality improvements like um you know a giant oh
I was going to take a jab at someone but never mind um one thing we may start
doing online as Tech tips is we may have uh we may have sponsored spots before
the videos like we had uh lnr CES
content where honestly we can't go to CES like I don't know if you guys know
how expensive it isens to drag a number
of people and like equipment and I think
people understand that it's good that we're clarifying but I think people more expensive than they think I bet true for
sure so it's very expensive and without sponsors we can't do that and without
sponsors because we're not we're not actually necessarily
directly compensated by anyone uh
without sponsors we won't survive so we might have something
like uh you know I don't know this uh
this video game video card Round Up is sponsored by Intel why we choose Intel
for our test platform and we won't ask Intel to sponsor it if we weren't
already going to use an Intel platform for our test bench and one thing we will
likely do is not for like video game video card head-to-head we're probably
not going to pick NVIDIA AMD that's right that's why I chose Intel we're not
going to pick one of the things that are in direct competition we're going to
pick something like this is our video card test PCH right here our video card
test PCH is a static 2011 platform so picking Intel as a sponsor for that
video is non-conflicting and makes sense that's right uh so whereas if we were
doing something like okay something like my Windows Phone 8 content we're not
going to have that sponsored by Microsoft because they shouldn't have
any say on what I say about Windows Phone 8 however my experience with
Windows Phone 8 does happen to be getting increasingly positive but that's
sort of besides the point used to it um
old school Apple guy finally getting out of his little protective bubble toally
old school the first Apple product I ever owned was an iPhone for yeah but
what else have you used nothing exactly so that's not old school
you're finally getting out of your little protective bubble it's okay screw
you okay so we'd love to take your guys's comments on this whole change in
Direction and we will not be acknowledging any other questions for
the next little bit here hopefully people said stuff
about I don't think they
did uh Sean asks is the product our is
our product access going to be affected by no longer we are still attached to NC
to make that very clear our relationship with ncx is really good we still do ncx
Tech tips we still do NC Tech tips I don't know if you guys have noticed but
NC Tech tips is going strong and it's
going to go for a long time I mean that was part of that was something that was
really important to me because I don't how many of you guys have been there
from the beginning but I mean NC Tech
tips is my baby as much as Linus Tech tips I was there from day one I built
them with these two
hands I built them with these two hands
and uh you know it was really important to me that I still am able to work on
that project so so yes I still you know
NC guys are still my buds and I'm still their bud and all that all that good
stuff and if I don't know if you've noticed but we've actually had some pretty cool stuff that we've unboxed
this last month I mean remember this was five weeks ago that this was effective
so yeah it's not like we had all that content filmed before that yeah uh thank
you Ian thank you good to
know um not nope that's not us I have no
idea what that is wait hold on I'm worried I'm scared whenever we open
these things no no it's okay they won't I can't see it sound oh okay uh no
actually that's uh they have cameras too but that's totally not us no that's a
different company I think they're based out of New York I I saw them oh so Peter
asks what about NC Tech tips everything is okay ncx Tech tips is going to
continue doing what it's doing in fact uh next week we're going to be shooting
that bit Phoenix water cooling guide The Prodigy water cooling guide that I
promised ages ago and as some of you guys know we've uh released the swapping
graphics card one right on the old platform no I don't think that one's
live yet we've actually got about 10 videos uploaded that uh will be released
sort of when when they're ready um I do
not oh you want to clarify the question
um well I well okay actually okay to be clear I still do just in a different
different different capacity so I am not a product manager anymore I'm not a
product manager I'm not a category manager um so I'm I don't I don't have
an office still have a studio there that we still go to and we still work on ncx
Tech tips but uh this is a different this is a different direction we want to
do some kind of different stuff and uh we thought that this was a good time to
do it uh well it's not a great time to do it no yeah new baby and all that but
um but it seemed like the right time to do it and I think when you guys see the
video that we previewed with that uh with that picture this picture that I
apparently can't find right now whatever
don't worry about it it's a cool picture um so that video that we previewed
should give you guys some idea what we want to be doing because one of my
biggest frustrations always has been how many different jobs I've had so over the
years um if you've read the thread on linch tips.com with the my story thread
if you search for my story it'll be all the stuff that I've done to become a
professional unboxer so to speak and uh you know I've always been a product
manager or or in charge of the PC configurations or uh you know doing all
the water cooling builds or or or like there's always been something I've never
really been able to focus on video and I think that with more time to focus on it
I can be more
focused keep going which I think will improve the
quality of the content and it will just make it better for for everyone
concerned I was trying to figure out why he said blindest medag group.com was
crashed and I finally figured it out oh
oh yeah cuz you never turned it back on did you you made me take the power supply over oh that's right yeah
server's down lineus Tech tips.com is okay though that server is up uh all
good luck thank you does this mean no it does not mean no more NCIX Tech tips
lots more ncx Tech tips I guess that's the only thing we didn't really clarify
that much um to be honest I don't like
running out of Linus videos neither do we we need more lus videos too um you're
making it for the YouTube money uh you know what the YouTube money is not that
uh yeah if your name is Freddy Wong
Phila Franco Ray William Johnson PewDiePie is that Mar PewDiePie Jenner
marbles if if you're one of those five people then you can make things for
YouTube money because it'll actually be a significant amount of money but you
know without disclosing what the Google sort of Revenue is because it's part of
the terms of service that you cannot do that um let me tell you do the math guys
I have a staff of three people including myself how much money do you really
think YouTube pays out and yeah there you
go uh now that you're going in uh no I
haven't but maybe I'll check that out
actually good luck thank you thank
you oh bought a course our survivor steal thanks to you and you know what
this is what we want to do because as much as you know someone could come to
us with you know the you know the black
magic intensity Pro and ask us to come
up with sort of a really cool ad for it
um we actually put things in and have them not work consistently yeah I know
right be always late for your live stream not only not work consistently if
that's not enough for you your whole computer can
crash been endless hours debugging how
much fun will that be you're GNA love my
nuts yay Vince um but yeah we're looking
to find things that we actually do believe in I mean okay you probably
haven't heard me recommend the Vengeance 2000 to a lot of people but that's not
because it's a bad product I just happen to have a personal preference that
something else Vengeance 2000 is an excellent product Have You Have you
listened to them uh aren't they the same drivers as the
a little better than the 1500s to me I don't maybe it was my imagination I have
not directly tried the 200000 but it's one of those things where if people ask me which wireless headset to buy well
that's what I'll say depends where their price range is for me I think they're
around $49 and it depends are you going for PC or are you going for like the
home theater Wireless style because there's a very big difference and
there's a very big price Delta oh yeah cuz home theater Wireless stuff is not
$150 it's money and it's one of those things where you could say till you're
blew in the face that you know some component is optimized for gaming
because it's got like a stripe on it or whatever else but you actually can
optimize a peripheral for gaming something like a headset okay corser
might make a compromise like we need a slightly lower latency connection so
we're going to lose a little bit of bandwidth or what whatever other
trade-offs they might make so that's where I would actually say okay yes go
with the actual gaming wireless headset if you want Wireless um so anyway yeah
so I'm glad you bought a Survivor Stealth because it is a fantastic product and I'm glad that our video got
that point across um nope NOP ncixcom is going
strong so there seems to be a lot of Mis misconceptions about that we just didn't
bring it up there's no intention of stopping ncixcom in fact not only no
intention there is a long-term plan that
it is not going away y
um uh no um delaying something to make
sure that it's good is not a problem yeah that's that's fine I would way
rather that they delayed it and fixed any problems than releasing a shoddy
terrible product this happened with War Z have you heard of
Warz they were it's video game based on zombies whatever don't worry about it
like Daisy pretty freaking similar oh okay
sure um Daisy is a built into a game War
a stand alone da Daisy is a flower da
Daisy is a mod for armor 2 they're planning on making it a standalone wary
was a standalone I don't even know if they still exist anyways they had a
pretty rough Alpha stage but we're doing pretty okay a lot of people kind of
liked it and then they were like nope full release and then it was so bad that
steam pulled it I don't think as far as I know I
don't know they haven't pulled much I don't know of any other game that they have they probably have but I don't I've
never heard of any other game Steam well there was probably one with like full
frontal nudity or something that slipped theil something but you know three
people bought it but not because steam was like this game sucks too
much like like holy cow so like I would
rather that you actually go through the R&D I would rather that you actually
perfected your product and then released it instead of releasing something shoty
and remember not dead it's not like NVIDIA has 700 series on the shelves so
um okay so there's no real pressure they can still sell 7,000 series graphics
cards right now which is fine and they delayed that but dropped their n never
settle bundle yeah which is awesome which is pretty epic so which is a
pretty good incentive to go buy a 7,000 series card as we discussed before and
they're benching really well yeah they're benching really well the Far Cry
3 benchmarks we ran like at every price point AMD just
cleaned house and sneak preview Starcraft sneak preview yeah Starcraft 2
we're doing same kind of Styles as we did with Far Cry 3 but with stcraft 2 so
we're going to show head-to-head competition and then we're going to show my Benchmark weren you supposed to get
that done this week it is done we were supposed to film it that's
your fault all right
fine I was busy I know I'm just saying
it's not my fault um so anyway that's that's coming
so AMD is doing good well I mean maybe
not gu I'll wait until it shows up well yeah but I mentioned your stream on
Logan's live stream and he forwarded viewers to your stream when you started yay Logan thanks Logan thanks
Logan for you okay you know what I should probably give him a proper shout
out let's go to his YouTube channel for those of you who don't know who the
Logan is and we are still working on uh
on sort of rerunning his experiment with 8350 versus 3570k we've just had a very
busy week raise the World Tech Syndicate
raise the world man I am going to make
that video Logan if you see this we've just been ridiculous probably not
watching why are you still full of yourself this is your
channel can you make sure this is still working what's this doing boom boom boom
okay okay in the meantime I'm going to
Logan's YouTube channel where he does his um traditional well not more
traditional but his traditional style where he does problems problems what
problems uh ask ask people what's up oh
uh oh wait what aren't you in the chat yeah but I can't chat because I'm not
logged in you're log okay apparently there are problems
but we don't know what they are it says we have viewers lag whoa lag yeah oh
okay how about now fixed can't even Lo in uh nope some people are saying it's
fine some people are saying it's choppy it is a little choppy I don't think
there's anything we can do about that though I think it may actually be related to the um
I think it may actually be related to the a media card I think it's just when
you open the browser is it remember how choppy it was when I tried to do the 3D
thing Firefox so anyway uh so we're not going to do anything in the browser
we're just going to show you a static image but Tech Syndicate Logan he's a
boss go ahead watch his channel that's all good good things that are good to do
his the tech episodes are pretty sweet actually yep yeah they're long yeah no
offense Logan it's not he covers a lot of topics though I like them I actually
like them um okay so moving right along uh back to back to L
Twitter uh congrats on the new YouTube channel
mentioned okay what about NVIDIA Titan okay we did promise a discussion topic
about this so what about NVIDIA
Titan why what are you doing oh it's okay it's got rubber feet
on the bottom of it I put it down on top of my freshly painted case and yeah
that's really really really choppy guys there's nothing we can do about it it's
choppy on our screen too we'll just try to move less so that it's not as
noticeable but uh for those of you who have suggested some um alternative
broadcasting software Suites we are considering it and when we have time to
sit down and actually try them we will we will try and find a way to to get
that done the bad news is that we can't just stop the live stream and start it
up again and see if that fixes it because then we're going to have to
convert all of the media in order to put it back together and upload it after
and we'd really like to well slick needs to go home and go to bed and I need to
go to bed so yeah um where were we
NVIDIA Titan right right uh there's tons of rumors I've
read rumors saying that it's a standalone release I've read rumors
saying that it's 780 I've read I've read I've read I've read I've read I've read
I've read I've seen benchmarks that are apparently it that are incredible but
who knows if they're partially fabricated who knows if they're real who knows if blah blah blah we received no
actual information and signed no non-disclosure agreement about this
product so we're we're we're open to speculate so I'm expecting it to be
something along the lines of what 480 was it's going to be it's going to have
high power consumption it's going to have a lot of heat output well it's a
gk10 it's a GK 110 so yeah so it's a big
old core on the other hand GTX 480 was
pretty ball and fast compared to the previous generation 280 I've got kind of
a for gtx480 that was the biggest generational leap we've seen in a while
since since probably 8800 yeah um so I'm
expecting another big generational leap
um I'm expecting a big price tag uh the
rumors that I've that I've seen have GTX
whatever it's going to be called have Titan coming in at more like a
replacement for 690 as opposed to a replacement for 680
which doesn't necessarily indicate anything about performance although
maybe maybe it performs similarly but it's a single GPU so you don't have to
deal with any driver nonsense um I think
people are dropping off the live stream because of the chop oh still 2600
actually that's not bad um but I am
expecting it to come in at a similar price point you know I get people asking
me stuff like this all the time Min is how much do you think Intel's upcoming
4770k will cost how much do you think their next Generation extreme Edition
cost and I can't answer those questions because I'm under NDA but what I can say
like I'm under sort of a general NDA because if I could know the answer then
I could get in trouble for saying the actual answer but come on guys it's the
same thing every time like look at what a 2600k cost look at what a 3770k cost
how much do you think the replacement is going to cost approximately the same
like look at what a 590 cost look at what a 690 cost how much you think a
Titan's going to cost $9.99
I don't know and then I'd expect performance to be something along okay
look look at what the stack was designed
to be the code names tell the story
gk10 was supposed to be to GK 1114 what
gk100 was to GK
104 oh is that the problem uh no that's the audio problem
an audio problem has that been open the whole time it's been open since you checked
it oh seriously oh sorry guys um wait
where was I everything's the same oh yeah it's the
same yeah yeah so so right so how much
is the next generation one going to cost it's going to cost about as much as that
and then sometimes there will be Halo parts and people always act like it's
the first time they've seen something like when GTX 590 launched for ,000
people were like did you forget about 8,800
Ultra that was a $9.99
part did you forget about uh 5800 Ultra
I mean that was what like a799 part but that was like 10 12 years ago however
long ago that was um so yeah these things happen um things are
expensive but in terms of pricing they come in at you know whatever they're
replacing approximately plus or minus CU that's what they do I don't remember
where I was going with that so I'm just kind of AD living right now this is pretty much it though we haven't we
honestly haven't received anything we don't have any n right yes the code
names tell the story I'm expecting gk110
to be as much faster as then GK 114
which is what 680 670 and 660 Ti are based on as GK 100 was versus GK 104
which is 580 570 versus 560 TI and 560
so that's the kind of improvement I'm expecting to see so that's the same sort
of improvement we see when we go from a 480 to a 580 to a 680 except that it's
kind of the same sort of improvement you have from a 480 down to a 460 and from a
580 down to a 560 and from 680 down to a 660 non TI because that's the one that's
an actual different GPU which is GK 106 which like so there I'm expecting it to
be about 80% faster than
a GTX 680 don't quote me on that though you have any more
topics not particularly can not kick my case I I don't like that that thing
flaps open all the time yeah me neither I'll have to figure out what to do about that I might just put a stronger magnet
behind the thing that's probably a gooda but then it won't be black wrinkle coated but if I get something shiny
silver then it should be okay should we maybe show them what we're talking about
no it's okay they don't care you just don't want to show them the small imperfection of your case should you
show them the some people are saying refresh the a media
a right click and then click refresh yeah there's no refresh there's
no refresh under configure uh you know
what and it didn't work it's okay don't worry guys we'll figure it out some
other time I don't have the latest drivers I have the one I have the last
one um so I'm going to leave you to just
kind of flounder oh oh we should you know what
we never actually stopped doing uh we never actually finished doing as much
Twitter as I wanted to do about the whole uh also Windows 8 giveaway y we
won't forget about that you remind me of Vince from The Slap Chop commercial
thank you that's what the quote was for yes uh can't wait to see some of the
Techquickie videos well you could go there right now youtube.com tequ or
hopefully in like 17 minutes um yeah
hopefully in a little bit good luck to you and your new Biz thank you congrats
thank you
um that's not what they're called fastest possible does not actually
shorten to Fat obligatory what is the status of the
personal rig upgrade go back and watch the archive because I gave a nice long
update at the beginning that's something they talking about uh oh yeah Freddy's
Kickstarter you know about this you guys were talking about it oh that makes a
all more sense yeah have you ever seen video game high school what yeah you
don't really know what this carry on Game High School uh made
by Freddy with a group that he made called Rocket Jump it features the dude
from uh epic meal time I can't remember his name you don't know his name some
Canadian guy he eats bacon yeah features him it features the uh Brian fenzi from
5sec films he's freaking awesome like it's got a whole bunch of really really
big YouTubers um and it's like a serious business show that they made and they
made Video Game High School season one check it out on I think I think just
rocket jump.com or I think it's also on YouTube um but they're starting a
Kickstarter to start season two and season two is like they're adding a
whole bunch of schools so it's not just video game high school like it's all these other different schools and
they're thinking about spreading into more games for season one it was just
FPS um so yeah really interesting I think they might have passed their goal
already but helping Freddy is like not a
bad thing because he's kind of awesome kickstarting things is just sort of
magical I love Kickstarter it's like well it's fantastic okay here's what I
don't I mean okay I get it's hard to wrap my brain around um why people get
to start a business with just upfront funding that they actually don't have
to pay back in any way or I mean it's like it's magical and it's good for you
you're buying a product though 99% of the time when you do any Kickstarter
donation you're buying something yeah okay but you're buying something that
it's like um that isn't guaranteed yet
yes no quality guarantee that kind of stuff yes almost every single
Kickstarter like video games are now not allowed showing anything other than
actual what they have right now right so they can't be like this is theoretical
footage this is video that our Graphics designer made that has nothing to do
with our game like that was happening a little bit at the beginning of Kickstarter right and then Kickstarter
is just like no you can only release what you have now okay so any assets
that you see on the page are current assets so what a lot of people have to
do is start everything like they have to form their company they have to hire all
the employees they have to basically do everything that you would have to do if you're going to bring something to a
bank for a gigantic investment or and then they get to put it on Kickstarter
and then they get to put it on Kickstarter so it's usually very well
properly organized pre-done things that are looking to funding to finish their
project not always yeah but usually so
like we should do a Kickstarter for like starting up a slick Tech tips
Channel we'll set the goal at something very reason like $500 I was going to say
10 bucks it's not like we pay him much so find me a sandwich so I can survive
and then we'll make a new YouTube channel yeah no like okay when you're
going on Kickstarter Kickstarter is awesome but be careful read what you're
buying how about like a Kickstarter for tattooing Slick's face with like Darth
Maul tattoos no unless we get like what
if it was like a million dollars would you do it
you could just get tattoo removal or would there have to be a thing where I have to keep it yeah you probably have
to wear it for let's say five years oh for a million million bucks five years
maybe to be honest cuz it's one of those things that's ridiculous enough I just
hide in my room and play video games on the best computer ever just be like yeah
I don't even care and then just come out with like a nice car and a nice house
already paid off and just get the thing taken off my face what if they made you
embed the horns too oh that you can do that too that's a
thing actually a thing know I
know he's thinking so guys I probably would let's get this kick started going
I probably would and I would just cosplay 100% of the time I'm just like
no screw it I'm just I'm Darth Maul for 5 years move to Las Vegas and then just
hang out on the sidewalk and augment your income with
like a tip jar and like photo ops yeah so everyone can think I'm like actually
trying to make money and being legit about this but realistically I just got
paid off realistically you're even more legit than they know um Samuel that's
not the case at all at all was not it was definitely not the back burner a lot
of what I did at NC wasn't really visible to customers um well not in a
way that had your name attached to it yeah I mean I was working on pricing or
you know strategic whatever the heck uh
marketing uh my baby's name is not going to be something that I'm talking about
um Andrew asks if you get approached by revision three or something will you let
them eat you so that's an interesting question I have talked to revision 3
I've talked to um Maker Studios I've
talked to uh one other guy that's not really in
the YouTube Network business yet but they might be soon but they're legit
they're cool guys um so I guess it just
does a matter of what you mean by E2 because revision three for example uh
doesn't it doesn't they don't eat you they don't dictate what your content is going to be they don't they're not like
oh we don't like lineus Tech tips the way it is you need to have
monkeys some my favorite shows on revision 3 um I mean I think looking at
someone like my fellow Canadian Lou from unbox therapy I did a collab with him
not that long ago uh I don't think that joining revision 3 has changed his
content mostly I think his CES content
with that Ford integration was a little bit um for
and I mean I liked the way that we were able to do CES as an independent where
we basically found sponsors that we know and like so we went with Corsair because
we love Corsair and the stuff that they do we went with seate because the okay
so get I mean the messaging was seate trusted storage partner um all of our
archived footage goes on Seagate drives
on a big fat RAID controller in a server
so it's one of those things where we're saying something we're partnering with a
sponsor but we're already utilizing or backing them in
some way so we're not worried about that we we're legit using those drives and if
they all failed on us we might be having a different conversation about who our
trusted storage partner is I mean for that that said I'd be comfortable
calling WD a trusted storage partner too because I we also use we also use WD
drives just not for that specific purpose uh we have no we have WD drives
in the ice Icey I have a seate and a WD
drive in my system so basically they're trusted storage Partners so so we don't
have to do a minute and a half long commercial for seate at the end of you
know a video we just have to kind of say look they're our trusted stage partner and Link say same thing uh linkis I
think probably 90% of the networking gear in this house is linkis and
non-conflicting and non-conflicting with the triangle of non-conflicting Brands
yeah so it's not like we're going to say you know sponsored by Intel sponsored by
AMD both of which are you know the best CPU and you should buy it because well I
mean we're trying we're trying to pick and choose things I mean honestly when
you're starting a business you can't necessarily just say no I turned my nose
up to you you know you cannot sponsor our trip to CES because we wanted to go
down there we wanted to make that content so we had to find a way to do it
but we were lucky enough to find partners that we were really comfortable working with um so revision three would
allow us to opt out of something like a Ford integration if we weren't
comfortable with Ford cars or whatever else um they don't dictate your content
they want a watermark um at some point we will likely partner with the network
but I don't know I mean it's it's something that I've actually been
working on for more than six months now we don't want to make a bad decision we
don't want something that'll impact you guys we don't want something that's going to influence
our yeah exactly we want it to stay true
to how it has been like like we said earlier with the the Techquickie
movement and starting the company and all that kind of stuff like we're changing things with Techquickie we're
not changing anything with either of the channels that are already running
because we know you guys like it and we hope you guys like it we hope you guys
like it so yeah if you hate it we're sorry I think people are tuning out
they're bored no I think they just hate the choppy video actually I don't know
so let's go back to Twitter for a little bit and then we'll do our Windows 8
giveaway uh lus says again funny good
luck shout out to PewDiePie oh man uh
Brave move thank you uh no no not a new
baby again my baby is 9 months old uh huh okay good question lion does
slick PC have an important position in the company what is your position in the
company my uh I do all the
things I don't really know how to even
say that my title my official title is
it lead I don't even think that matters at this point um I don't know right now
we're three guys trying trying to do everything so we all just kind of do
everything um positions aren't really in
stone at the moment I prep videos I
Benchmark things I film I storyboard
stuff I try and help orchestrate shots I
give feedback on Diesel's editing I edit
sometimes I like not very well not that well but like I don't know we all kind
of do everything so yeah okay so let's
do uh let's do our Windows 8 giveaway do you have a question no do you have a
question okay you go do a question while I while I come up with a topic well not
come up with the topic I have a topic so along the lines of monetizing content
and you know will someone buy out your
content and eat you and all that good stuff YouTube has pay walls coming so uh
this was this was oh can you open up that page again where did I see this
article real SEO re L SEO YouTube will
have paid subscription channels soon so this will be starting they're sending
out offers apparently this is all sort of supposedly sending out offers to some
uh premium content creators because part of the whole okay and this this okay
hold on I'll launch into this later so they're sending out invitations to some
content creators to um have premium channels that will be anywhere from a
dollar to $5 a month to subscribe to which you could kind of look at and go
okay well if it's someone that's creating fantastic content and you know
I really really really like it and um you know beats watching reruns of
friends on Friday night or whatever whenever reruns of friends are on um so
I could kind of see people doing it but
it goes against for me the philosophy of
internet video compared to to what we've done in the past I mean I understand
YouTube's uh inherent need to monetize
the content in such a way that it can be self- sustaining I don't know that
YouTube's ever made any money I really don't think so um the amount of
bandwidth required for what they're doing is just ridiculous the amount of admin
and overhead that goes into what they're doing is ridiculous and uh
they're yeah so so they need ways make money I mean they end up in sort of the
Facebook sort of quandry where Facebook is like yeah we have this huge user base
but like how do we turn that into something that stockhold holders will
appreciate hard to say so so I would love to hear what you guys
think of paid subscriptions to YouTube so to be clear I mean I say never with
an asteris here but I I will never have a paid channel it's not really what
we're trying to do at all I mean we want viewers to just come and watch the
videos we we love that um but I'd love
to hear your thoughts on paid YouTube
channels will it just kill internet video would you rather just I think it's
going to be more of like TV show format right well yeah I mean I'm
expecting that to happen but people ran away from TV shows to watch videos on
the internet yeah I don't think it's going to be successful I just think the only
people are going to do it or like TV show format I don't think it's going to
be a very lucrative move at all on the
other hand you I I went to an interesting conference where they said
it's something like seven years between your first between a free user and
converting that person to a paid user so if it succeeds we won't know immediately
this was uh they this was the guy who started you send
it so he was saying between when they
turned on the paid service because it was free for the longest time at first
someone signed up almost immediately but what they found now with more data is
that between the first sign up and when someone actually goes I enjoy this
service so much that I don't mind paying a couple bucks for it to get a couple
more features is about seven years which is a huge amount of time I mean YouTube
will be so different seven years from now look how how fast it's changing all
the time yeah reddit's having a problem with that they can't necessarily get
people to sign up for Reddit Gold because people don't see the value in it
yeah it's taking a really long time for them to get people to move over and even
hardcore people are just going like I don't see a positive in this y so so if
YouTube can figure out a way to attract content creators that will attract paid
subscriptions you know good luck to them and as John here says please stay unpaid
don't worry we're going to be unpaid um I don't think that suits our style it's
not really our style I don't think that people watch lonus Tech tips for the
sheer entertainment value of it I think it's more like that's a cool product or
maybe it's a little bit entertaining or whatever else I mean we're here to more
like the next video has some serious entertainment value yeah I've watched it
at least 30 times on it oh I'm probably around there like seriously this is by I
like fell asleep watching it last night I'm I'm going to bring out that by far and large again but this is seriously by
far and large the best video we've made oh yeah by a long shot and it's not done
yet like everything else we've ever done is just not good just low you can't
really compared to this can't see howow this down here there we go um steel
series vinyl W on a table is coming soon I hope to have something to show you
guys in the next couple weeks uh what now oh yeah yeah yeah got
it but don't worry we'll we'll go that um does slick change his hair every day
no that's just what it looks like when he crawls out of
bed how do you know when to change liquid in a loop black tubes yeah
probably does the a coolers last until the pump dies I think they're supposed
to I think they're rated for about 5 years of course don't partner with
channel pro wasn't intending
to who is the third man in the business
Diesel have you tried the h10 yet the h10 H1 or h10 the h110 is installed in
our thermal test bench right now but we haven't run numbers yet rather slick
hasn't run numbers yet what gives me another job and then
complains that I didn't complete the first
one uh yeah that's not going to happen don't
worry we don't have the same we wouldn't have the same kind of agreement that uh
that El had so there you
go wish you guys had some merchandise
why is a fish when it swims also did you just start on the Windows 8 no no we'll
do the Windows 8 giveaway soon what was that question I have no idea why is a
fish when it swims the only ad okay so Richard is saying the only Advantage
would come from no commercials but that would again kill a major income source
for YouTube but then YouTube's going to skim part of the profits and then the
amount of bided commercials will just go to other channels there's always videos
on a channel that don't have a pre-roll that could have a pre-roll that's true that's true you can never have a too
much ad inventory um as as an ad server
so yeah yeah and if you get too much people are paying more so
like I wouldn't be worried about it if I was Google 4 CH apparently offers
bypassing the capture with the subscription
okay which section of the Forum can I find your story if you search for my
story um search for professional unboxer and it should show up I would pay a
subscription to see slick PC bench press you oh man think we crash and burn I
could see if it was like a TV show for example video you could buy VGHS on
YouTube about that but I don't think that's Freddy's angle like if it was
more like a oh okay I don't think Freddy would do that considering he released it
for free on his own
website yeah I wonder what his model is exactly tons of views and epic videos
yeah but tons of views don't inherently pay any money but he gets like n million views a
video I know but no no I mean no no I okay yeah yeah yeah he gets tons of
views and all that but his videos do cost money to make oh yeah um and I
think he's also got some Partnerships and some sponsorship and some like uh um
like in a lot of his did they do any product placement I think they do I'm
pretty I know they did in VGHS like yes
there was product placement in VGHS VGHS definitely Razer Razer was huge they all
walked around with the not the new one but that like Gamepad thing oh okay the
uh they walk yeah and whenever they'd sit down to game it was like B bam and
it was all like it supposed to be super epic but yeah you don't understand if
you saw it they do it really well Freddy they do it really
well uh okay yes we'll do a 900d unboxing for sure if it was like a TV
show with the exact same standards it's not better like if Big Bang Theory was
$5 a month then yes however the argument there is well then why not just get a
Netflix subscription which is already already exists and it's like 15 bucks a
month and you get absolutely everything including movies right
like I don't know we'll see but I don't really we'll see it will also attract
major TV networks to switch so traditional TV can finally die actually
it won't traditional TV networks are going to fight this move tooth and nail
because it will kill like okay remember
your cable provider is often Affiliated in some way to some kind of a uh some
some kind of a network or studio so that means that they're collecting money at
every level they're collecting money from the end user subscribing to the
cont content they're collecting money from advertisers paying to be on the
content so they're sitting in the middle going like
yeah awesome place to be if they let
content if they let content creators go to online and then advertisers start
paying them directly and viewers start paying them directly they
lose everything game over so they they
will be they will not it will not attract anything from them uh I'm sub to
dozens of used YouTubers and if it's like $5 a month each that's a bit much
that's a good point because it depends on how they break it down that was the
Netflix Point yeah it's it's not worth it like so if you had
YouTubers that um oh I don't know like
what would it you know what makes more sense yeah is like paying per video
because then people upload movies to YouTube It's usually just like Indie
stuff but if people started releasing serious business videos that were
attached to your YouTube account that you could watch anywhere at any point in
time through a really simple on demand kind of thing like I think that might
make more sense than a subscription so if we did an unboxing uh oh no okay
let's say we don't do an unboxing let's say we do an unboxing of the 900d and we
say guys we're going to do like an epic cool 900d build video where it's like
two hours long we fill the thing up to the NES but you have to pay $2 to watch
it I think they freak out I'm that wasn't the use case that I
proposed at all this was movies like movie that's released in the movie
theater you can then buy it on YouTube
and be able to watch it at any have that don't they do they I think so but like
who cares because Netflix I I don't care that's probably why I don't know about
it if it exists but like that's the only case that I would see it making sense I
don't know uh I think channels that require paid subscription would be see a
huge view drop yeah of course or that if you pay for your subscription and that
takes out ads just like how twitch does it y that makes sense that yeah content
would have to be outrageously awesome yeah I think we can all agree on that
Vimeo did something similar first with the tip jar but man you know what here's
the thing I liked Vimeo approach honestly if YouTube had a tip jar I'd be
stoked because if someone wants to give us a tip that's great but it should be
voluntary that to me is more like the
essence of what YouTube is creating this content voluntarily and then people
supporting it voluntarily and if they want to support it with a couple bucks
from their pocket then that's all voluntary too but making it sort of like
um you know like who oh no you got to
jump this high if you want to you want to get the thing exactly like to me
that's not quite um yeah that's it's
just not what I would like I like Vimeo uh Tommy J asks what happened to the
unbox therapy collab giveaway it's coming uh Lou's been on vacation or
something so when he gets back we'll pick a winner we'll announce it and everything will be good and hunky dory
so speaking of giveaways um you know what you're in charge of the Windows 8
giveaway cuz I have to pee okay so the question is who did Bill
Gates buy Doss from oh uh don't announce the winner in real time because what I
discovered last week is that who appeared to be the winner when I went
back and looked at the Timeline yeah it wasn't right so yeah okay so the
question I guess you guys kind of have part of it already anyways it's a
two-part question so anyone who's answered yet but let people guess until until you see a correct answer right or
something I don't know make it fun I'll figure it out uh who did Bill Gates buy
Doss from so you guys know that part already and what was its original name
that's more probably the difficult one we've been doing stuff that's kind
of newer content for these questions so I thought I'd jump back a little bit and
hopefully people would appreciate that I don't want his name I want the company
name sorry that was kind of my fault I should have specified I want the company
name that he bought it from and not just I see person on screen if I can do this
there you said the guy's name and the
company name I want the name of the program and the company name just to be
completely clear on
that all right we have a correct answer I don't know if you were the first one
like lonus just said we're going to review it afterwards but this guy has a
correct answer it was Seattle computer
Oh no you're wrong no you're wrong continuing
forward I feel much better thank you for
asking maybe this is the right name SLE computer
products a lot of people are saying SLE computer products did you have the wrong
answer I might have I have Seattle Computing but it might be Seattle
computer products this is what happens when I put him in
charge of things let me Che you're fired let me
check no you're fired this is what happens when you
trust Wikipedia actually you probably didn't
even go to
Wikipedia I hope you guys have enjoyed the live stream I think we're pretty
much done for the night um yeah I'm still not sure if I'm
going to live stream building my computer I may just build it and then
shoot videos sort of throughout the process computer Products Seattle
computer products so congratulations to everyone who answered correctly slick
will be responsible for going back and finding who won and then slick what you
need to do is follow that person on Twitter and get them to follow you so
that they can message you directly so that you can send their email to me so
that I can can I make them message me on the Forum um sure that would be way
easier my name on the form is slick no no get them to do it on Twitter because
then you can validate the username yep you don't have 100 people messaging you
on the Forum yep y yep everyone send slick a private message on the
Forum okay no I'm joking please don't do
that actually it would explode his inbox
um my already exploding inbox yeah
pretty much yeah where was I going with that I
don't know I don't think you're going necessarily anywhere that I think we're kind of done sort of like after party
time after party time yeah we've never had an after party before no I think
we're usually to tired you tired
today uh I'm not going to bed right away
seriously you're going to play that now I want to play 514 and I've got the new
stuff what if you have to work I'm not going to bed until the new stuff is set up seriously oh you didn't even talk
about your new stuff should I go grab it I'm pretty excited no don't go grab it
are you sure yes it's huge right there
it's like three huge boxes I'm huge I'll go grab one you talk about I'll go grab
the next one like am I going to talk what is youru okay I'll get it you talk
about your stuff I don't want to talk about your stuff sucks no it doesn't
yeah you particularly like my
stuff um so I bought two new ASUS
monitors because I've had some pretty not so great monitors for a little while
um one of them was a present from my dad when I got my very first computer like
that was my own um I had talk about your
overall computer spec too here's the most exciting thing oh
God random brown box with shipping label
no that's not a particularly shipping label um I was actually confused when I
first saw this because I bought a monitor ARM for my desk um from ergotron
but it came in this box that says juststand.org and I was like well I
didn't buy it from juststand.org
so what but then on the side of the box it says ergotron so I was pretty happy
with that the idea is
that okay this guy is 24 in freaking
Beast that I bought I have two of them
they're going to go side by side on my desk these are going to be my main monitors I'm finally going to have some
legit monitors because I didn't even have 1080p monitors and one of my
monitors is still Square layout like uh
I've been student budget for a long time so I've been running off the original
monitor that I ever purchased for quite a while now um so those two will be side
by side and then I'm going to be putting on an ARM above those two um my old
school 18 my old school 18inch um and that is
going to be to monitor servers instead of being a main
Monitor and then basically I'm replacing things that are absurdly old that are on
my system and then I have had the same
speakers that my brother and I we went
to the mall with my mom and bought them from Staples when I was in like grade
five because we didn't have any speakers on our computer to hear Diablo so I'm
still running those like $25 speakers from
how from however long ago so from
reading a crazy amount of reviews and
apparently apparently my personal endorsement of this product was not good
enough for him he's all he's all hurt because I read reviews after he said why
would you read reviews about it after I told you to buy it you told me to 7h was
good it didn't fit my freaking head did they I said they sounded good they also
didn't fit my head but did they sound good they did they sounded very good
they're very good headphones and I would recommend them to someone with a smaller head than me so basically you're saying
you have too big of an ego to take my recommendations no I'm saying that I'm
looking into anything else that might be different about the product okay so you
were worried these speakers wouldn't fit your
head that is an ego issue to be more specific I was looking up direct reviews
that were comparing the clips promedia 2.1 to these yeah but the I could have
told you the promedia 21s are not going to hold up in terms of Base my dad has
the promedia 2.1 and I really like them and if you read reviews on it the
promedia 21s are better at multiple ranges but these of a flat line I know
exactly how good the promedia 21s are because I did a butt ton of research
about them a billion years ago when they were released and you still didn't know
the first thing about computers they've changed I know they have they've gotten
like a lot worse yeah a lot worse now the original ones I would be there would
be a competition I just wish I still had my promia ultra 5. ones this is what I
got by the way best computer speakers ever made bar
none but that's a shame I actually bought a set of SP 2500s too I already
have SP 2500s but these were a really good deal they're like a factory refurb
and it's Corsair so it can't be that bad um so I I got a set for my wife so now
she can get rid of the FX Xbox speakers that she's using now that have a little
bit of hiss uh at close range like it'd be fine if you were using it with your
entertainment center this is this is what I'm talking about he brings this up
now do you remember trying to sell those to me the fexes yep how much was I going
to charge you didn't tell me there was a hiss are you sure 100% I remember you
saying that earlier today and I was like huh oh there's a way there's a work
around oh really yeah no no there's a work around then why is it a problem
that she has those she's lazy do the work around for her no no no the
workaround is something you have to do every time oh that's annoying you switch
to headphone mode when you're not using them as speakers oh well yeah that's she doesn't
want to do it it's a woman but if you're
not using your speakers as speakers it should always be a headphone one yeah I
don't I don't know man like like I said there's a workaround okay seriously but
she doesn't want to do it so so I'm going to get rid of those and she'll get
SP 2500s which I know don't have any hiss I've heard that too yeah very very
good you've heard that it wasn't good enough that I told you that I read
reviews for everything come on I do you read reviews for everything except the
things that I ask you to read reviews for everything but you did so much
research about the PA series you found out stuff that I couldn't figure out
back when I was doing the unboxings like the difference between the RSQ and the
non rcq the QRS and the r and the the QRS and the R I think it took me for
ever to figure that out when I give him something and I'm like okay we're doing an unboxing this hold on hold on I'm
going to find one of the pieces of paper you hand me okay but he gives me like two to five
minutes hold on I'm finding a it's not exactly Fair that's like two to five
minutes from where we're talking so by the time I actually get to the computer
I've got like one to four minutes left you come up with like three facts about
it that are all on the box when I'm like no no the things I need to know about it
I don't know what's on the box when I'm looking up online
maybe you should start with looking at the box also it doesn't give me the Box most of the
time not not fair accusations this is
when I've got like I meticulously research products that I buy because I
want to make sure that I'm buying the right thing because the products he buys matter more to him than the products
that he's making videos about for you no you only give me two to five minutes
that's what you just said I've been hours on these how do you have time for
this I don't sleep all I told you there
was Forum problems last night so I was up until 4 in the morning that kind of stuff happens so
was Mr Wizard oh hi Mr Wizard if you're
watching everyone's tuning out of the live stream they don't want to watch

probably turn it off now I'm going to delay so you can feel awkward where do I
even go right here oh oh oh oh
