1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:07,440
we are in the middle of the biggest GPU shortage of all time and yet somehow

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:13,840
these freaking tech reviewers Linus tech tips they've got an actual tower of rtx

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:15,440
3060s and 3070s what gives well don't

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:20,160
worry ladies and gentlemen because we will not be cryptocurrency mining and we

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:26,640
will not be scalping these today we are going to put these gpus into the hands

6
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:28,880
of verified actual gamers with a couple

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:33,200
of small catches let me set the stage for you guys it's coveted time so the

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,320
challenge has to take place outdoors but we will not

9
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:41,120
let that stop us from putting these cards in the hands of verified actual

10
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:45,520
gamers so here are two gaming stations separated by a plexi shield where you

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:52,000
will have the choice to play one of three games mortal kombat 11 super mario

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:58,320
bros 3 battle mode or halo combat evolved 1v1 against yours truly and

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:01,760
here's where it gets really interesting if you lose

14
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:08,479
hey as long as you're a gamer you get to buy a GPU at msrp but if you win

15
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:12,000
you get it 10 below msrp that's right i

16
00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:15,280
will lose money and if you win you can

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,880
either take your 10 discount or double

18
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:21,360
down and get 25 off if you win in a

19
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:26,640
sudden death match or go all the way back to msrp if you lose

20
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,479
let's meet our gamers shall we after this message from our sponsor are you

21
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:34,159

22
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:40,600
bandwidth and causing your games to lag get 25 off today using code Linus or at

23
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,600

i'm ready so you think you're a verified actual gamer absolutely well that's

28
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,959
because you're not verified yet i don't have a lot of experience in halo

29
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:13,440
so i think it's going to be a fun experience

30
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:20,360
better watch out you're gonna watch it you're gonna get needle boys looks like

31
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:20,360
Linus is gonna be in for a tough match

32
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:31,680
see you later seems like Linus put halo on the game list for a reason it's 1-1

33
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:37,360
oh oh whoa there's all this

34
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:42,800

41
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:20,000
very much Linus is surprisingly better than i

42
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,120
expected so even though i lost the second round i'm still kind of happy i'm

43
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,280
gonna build my first pc and probably gonna do a lot of gaming

44
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:30,959

00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,680
to beat Linus at the super mario brothers 3. i have two older siblings

47
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,760

48
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:47,680
events is mario so i have a lot a lot a lot of practice at every holiday i think

49
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,519
i have a uh a good sixty percent chance of winning

50
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:56,400
speeding lions today i am aware of the double down rules i will be going for

51
00:03:53,680 --> 00:04:01,920
the double down if i win the first round i need some mushroom

52
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:04,319
yes i did not uh think he would be that

53
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:09,120
good hopefully i'm up to snuff to beat him

54
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,120
no oh it's another tiebreaker

55
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:16,959

80
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:07,280
three years now i was watching since the old langley house let's hope being a

81
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:11,280
longtime LTT fan will bring you some luck against Linus all right that's one

82
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:16,080
down he's a lot better than i thought he was

83
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:20,639
come on looks like Jake's halo reach experience

84
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:26,160
is helping him out what did i get a melee kill and die Linus dropping those

85
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:30,080
grenades like he does best look out Jake oh

looking for this card for so long now um especially actually this one that my

90
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:49,120
computer doesn't have much RGB in it right now it's sure gonna light up now

91
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:55,199

um i am a game developer working at kabam currently i'm a front-end engineer

94
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,840
i will try to beat him at halo because he's an app oh first

95
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:11,120
are we playing with mouse and keyboard right your choice

96
00:07:07,919 --> 00:07:12,240
okay so yes hey i'll try not to plow toe

97
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:20,160
you over typically i've been watching LMG since 2014-15

98
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:25,039
around that i gotcha i haven't played this game

99
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:29,840
any of those games that he gave me the option in the last 20 years at least see

100
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:33,759
you later plato come on plato you could have found some time in the past 20

101
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:39,440
years to brush up on those skills gigi plato thank you very much for coming out

102
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:42,000
i won a GPU uh i lost the matches but i

103
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:46,160
still a winner right well we'll sit on the shelf until i can get the rest the

104
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,440
other parts of the computer now it will it will be much easier yeah for sure all

105
00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:56,319
right what's your name i'm uh i've i'm a game developer i'm

106
00:07:54,160 --> 00:08:00,720
learning right now i have not played any of the games that are there so i'm good

107
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:04,960
with FPS so maybe halo i was going for halo but i saw you destroy him i'll try

108
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:08,319
halo i'm much fun you can try hello yeah all right let's do it i don't know if

109
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,759
that was a smart move or not i've been playing games like

110
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:18,800
as long as i can remember and again for all i know this guy could be just like a

111
00:08:13,599 --> 00:08:18,800
total sandbagger oh i'm sure you i'm not

112
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:27,039
i just came in thinking i would be better because i've played a lot of FPS

113
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:32,560
in my life do you want to fight me or do you want to run uh-oh looks like Linus

114
00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:35,039
has poked the lion oh get away from me

115
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:39,760
and they both bite the bullet i got a first kill on liner so i thought

116
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:42,640
it would be easier but no it was like a lot harder

117
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:47,839
oh see you later bud 2-2

118
00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:52,120

Linus but i got a chance to get to 30 60.

121
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:12,080

00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:16,000
developer so i'm needed for it challenger number six approaches so my

123

125
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:31,519
i'ma go get me another coin oh oh all right these poor gamers have yet

126
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:31,519
to win any discounts on their gpus

127
00:09:31,839 --> 00:09:38,000
yes i think i could uh could have done

128
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:42,000
better but to be honest i haven't played that game for 30 years thank you for

129
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:47,680
coming out two out of three that's it gg man good

130
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:52,880
game cooking it's a good battle uh i got a

131
00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:56,560
3070. just gonna enjoy the graphic card and play games play my old games i

132
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:01,600
couldn't play that's the first thing come on up come on down

133
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:05,519
oh my name's pop hi follow me on twitch twitch.tv pop eats tadpoles or not you

134
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:10,959
know don't feel peer pressure i hope to beat Linus at memes because

135
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:16,000
honestly i'm not really sure that i'm that good of a gamer

136
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:20,160
lttstore.com but you know isn't the real winning

137
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:23,760
thing to just be in the presence of Linus

138
00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:27,920
no the real winning is beating lattice yeah you're right

139
00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:30,720
yeah getting a GPU at msrp is already a win

140
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:35,440
up until a couple of years ago i used to be really into competitive overwatch

141
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,480
okay all right you know what i

142
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:45,120
i'm confident enough but i'm willing to offer you 15 off if you can beat me

143
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:49,040
and if you get killed only once i'll do 20.

144
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:54,000
you want a piece of that action yes all right let's do it somebody stop this

145
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:57,839
madman he's changing the rules oh wait he's the ceo because you know how this

146
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:01,360
works right like if i have to sell these things for less than msrp you know i'm

147
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:06,720
losing money right that's okay you have money our gamers are showing line is a little

148
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:10,399
attitude see you later i assumed that he picked

149
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:15,040
all these games because he was good at them so i definitely didn't come in

150
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:18,560
hoping to win oh i'm sorry you know what though if you

151
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:23,200
can kill me three times in a row you can still have 10 off i was just gonna

152
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:27,680
choose halo because well it's a shooter i can at least you know aim the gun at

153
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:31,760
it and hope for the best i'm gonna need a little bit more than hope to beat

154
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:35,040
Linus did you jump blow yourself up you have minus one point

155
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:42,079
i was sure i didn't kill you i guess i blew myself

156
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:49,760
that's okay you put forward a valiant effort and the consolation prize is

157
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:52,399
still 30-70 at msrp there we go

discount so i apparently am the first winner of the day i beat Linus and all

186
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:12,959
the challenges good game gamer 25 off i

187
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:15,680
was using a lenovo thinkpad notebook

188
00:14:12,959 --> 00:14:21,680
with a external graphics card in a b stock

189
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:24,800
and uh 970 which i sold for 450 dollars

190
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:27,279
no questions asked but i do have uh 580

191
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:32,480
in my current desktop it's fun it's exciting in all this code times get out

192
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:38,240
of the house and do things i'm kevin i upgraded my whole system and

193
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:43,120
uh just after christmas but have been sort of lacking on the graphics card sex

194
00:14:40,399 --> 00:14:47,199
department since then i've been playing call of duty cold war a lot lately i'm

195
00:14:44,959 --> 00:14:50,720
hoping to beat him at halo but it's been a while so we'll see how that

196
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:55,199
goes i've been watching the channel since it was ncxtec

197
00:14:53,440 --> 00:15:00,639
like whenever that was has the loss in mortal kombat

198
00:14:58,959 --> 00:15:04,079
oh there we go one kill down okay this guy knows what

199
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:08,880
he's doing ladies and gentlemen oh looks like the halo king is back i

200
00:15:07,199 --> 00:15:13,920
had a feeling that he would probably be pretty good at whichever games he picked

201
00:15:10,959 --> 00:15:17,839
i think that's probably an advantage okay

202
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,720
got the melee kill my expectations weren't super high because i probably

203
00:15:19,279 --> 00:15:24,320
haven't played that game in like 10 years i only gotta get one more kill no

204
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:30,720
problem unless kevin here is sandbagging me

205
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:34,959
sandbagging run kevin he's a madman he

206
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:36,959
lines beat me i was uh three nothing oh

207
00:15:34,959 --> 00:15:42,160
gg kevin thank you very much for playing i won

208
00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:47,040
the evga 3070 for the win three i've had my name on a waitlist at memory express

209
00:15:44,639 --> 00:15:52,560
since probably january i just like to thank Linus media group and evga for

210
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:57,920
having this program and making cards more accessible to uh gamers i memory

211
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:01,759
after i moved to vancouver or canada youtube just like stopped like started

212
00:15:59,839 --> 00:16:06,160
stuffing your stuff in and i started watching it and i was like okay like i

213
00:16:03,839 --> 00:16:10,160
like this i'm gonna pick halo because to be honest like i never

214
00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:14,000
played the mario battle something i i don't even

215
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:17,360
remember the name and for the mortal kombat i didn't play that for so long so

216
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:22,160
i'm guessing my best chance with like halo i

217
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:27,680
know you play a lot of halo so i hope i had a chance but no i don't i just

218
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:31,600
played it when i was young and the demo was free i don't want to encourage the

219
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:35,199
scalpers because as long as people are buying them like people gonna just do it

220
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:38,079
again so i will say like okay like i will wait okay

221
00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:40,639
ah that's all right

222
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,680
gotta reload

223
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,560
oh see you later

224
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:54,880
ah crap it's two to one

225
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:59,680
let's see if emery can clutch two kills real quick

226
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:03,120
oh there it is oh i was expecting this

227
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:07,120
all right emery good game yeah it was a little

228
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:10,400
humiliating but at least i'm in this little guy called rtx 3070 thanks to

229
00:17:09,439 --> 00:17:14,160
Linus finally i got one thank you evj next

230
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:17,839
challenger approaches what's your name gamer my name is clarence i've been a

231
00:17:16,559 --> 00:17:21,679
fan of the channel for a couple years now maybe three or four years currently i'm only able to

232
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:27,600
play valorente or cs some games i'd like to play are maybe apex legends or call of

233
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:31,600
duty today i think i'm going to beat Linus at halo i think

234
00:17:29,679 --> 00:17:37,520
shooters was my best option here i'm not good at fighting games or platformers so

235
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:42,559
clarence just threw a grenade at a gun what what did you just

236
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:44,880
did you just fall and die i sure hope he

237
00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:50,080
doesn't play valerian like this oh my secret's out i'm not actually that good

238
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:52,720
at FPS games 1-1

239
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:57,840
oh no it's 2-2 got that nate kill

240
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:02,320
we've got a tiebreaker situation ladies and gentlemen next kill wins come on

241
00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:05,200
melee finish clarence slips out of Linus's mail

242
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:11,200
oh no yeah

243
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:15,440
tie breaker baby here we go uh i'm not very confident at beating Linus at halo

244
00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:18,160
because it's my first time playing oh you went and you got that again

245
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:24,720
didn't you again with the grenades Linus doing what

246
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,720
he does best dropping everything he has

247
00:18:25,039 --> 00:18:30,720
good game man that was tight take the 10

248
00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:35,039
discount you earned it i stole that from you with that nade killed just take it

249
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:39,760
take it and go uh Linus what happened to those rules you laid out at the start i

250
00:18:36,799 --> 00:18:43,600
just won an rtx 3070. we tied but lioness did decide to give me a 10 off

251
00:18:41,679 --> 00:18:47,600
so i'm really thankful for that so last christmas i bought uh all my pc parts

252
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:52,080
but the uh graphics card and CPU so now i can

253
00:18:49,919 --> 00:18:56,720
finally build it and i'm really happy step right up step right up my name is

254
00:18:54,400 --> 00:19:02,720
mike i've actually been watching Linus since uh he was for ncix so it's been a

255
00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:08,799
hot minute i'm upgrading from a really old laptop i had a gtx 960 mobile card

256
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:14,160
and now i'm going with a full desktop setup hoping to uh beat Linus in mortal

257
00:19:11,679 --> 00:19:18,799
kombat today okay i am going to come clean with you

258
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:21,120
i have basically never played this game before

259
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:27,840
you have chosen wisely oh boy he's not letting me move

260
00:19:25,919 --> 00:19:31,840
that's very cheap judging by the look on his face Linus is

261
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:36,160
getting a taste of utter defeat and he even knows the finish him combos and

262
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:42,400
everything look at that do you want to go sudden death one more round to go

263
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:44,640
from 10 to 25 discount i don't think

264
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:49,919
it'd be very uh exciting if i didn't i've been playing mortal kombat for a

265
00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:54,960
while so yeah i'm fairly confident no he brought me over there the puppeteer mike

266
00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:58,880
what a move i didn't want to go over there

267
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:03,600
oh all right

268
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,960
gg gamer and thank you very much uh so

269
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:10,400
today i won an rtx 3060. i have been waiting to put

270
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:14,880
a new graphic card in my system for a very long time the parts have been

271
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:18,799
sitting in my bedroom annoying my wife i i couldn't justify the scalpers if it

272
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:23,039
came down to it i probably would have sold the parts i had at home and bought

273
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:27,840
a laptop i used to work on the deeper speed franchise and so i've driven some

274
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:32,080
like crazy cars and stuff and after finishing that i had the same sort of

275
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:37,280
like handshake that you do getting out of like a proper sports car so it was

276
00:20:34,799 --> 00:20:40,240
fun next gamer come on up hello what's your name gamer my name is

277
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:44,480
alexa i'm hoping to beat him at super mario

278
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:48,640
bros we'll see how that goes because it'll be my first time playing but i

279
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:54,799
feel like that's the game i have the best shot at to give a percentage i want

280
00:20:50,799 --> 00:20:57,520
to say like maybe 77 no that's really

281
00:20:54,799 --> 00:21:01,360
high like maybe 70 chance of beating him but we'll see

282
00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:05,120
hi alexa right i've never heard that one i'm so sorry i'm sure that never comes

283
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:08,400
up i haven't played a platformer or a fighting game or an FPS in a very long

284
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:14,640
time so i thought that this was the one i had the best shot at what games do you play

285
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:18,640
no FPS no platformers no fighting we thought we had the spectrum covered

286
00:21:15,919 --> 00:21:24,400
pretty well here i normally play like really open wide like large story based

287
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:28,960
rpgs like anything where your decisions matter i think my favorite right now is

288
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:32,880
dragon age origins that's the game i have the most time on and it's a game i

289
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:36,960
love the most all right unfortunately we don't have competitive dragon age

290
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:42,400
origins dragon age won't help you on the bloody battlefield oh mario ralph

291
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,960
okay now are you messing with me here how'd you stay alive down there so long

292
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:50,320
i don't know wait what are those little fly guys i don't believe that you have no idea

293
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:55,679
what's going on here are you sure i'm pretty sure okay i'm starting to

294
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,880
believe it a bit more it's one one i might have watched a couple of youtube

295
00:21:57,039 --> 00:22:04,000
videos all right about it will Linus see his first loss in mario

296
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,000
battle today

297
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:14,240
good game alexa i got the 30-70 and i'm very excited you

298
00:22:12,159 --> 00:22:17,440
know i i think if i got a second chance i could beat him i probably could i'd

299
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:23,280
say i'd say i'm almost where he's at maybe i'm really looking

300
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:26,320
forward to baldur's gate three i've been kind of avoiding playing the beta just

301
00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:29,679
because i don't want to spoil it for myself before it's fully released

302
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:34,880
definitely would not have been able to afford a new graphics card without this

303
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:37,200
program so i'm very very very excited

304
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:40,720
my name is eric i hope to beat Linus at mortal kombat i've actually never played

305
00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:45,120
i just thought it'd be a game to pick up like really on the spot

306
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:48,480
so maybe i'll change to like halo or something maybe i guess we'll go with

307
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:53,520
halo halo all right i've been watching LTT

308
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:57,679
since the ncx days back when lioness was still doing unboxing videos should have

309
00:22:55,120 --> 00:23:00,930
stuck with your first choice eric Linus has been practicing all day

310
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:06,000
got that name too watch out he's right behind you

311
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:11,120
did i just get you yeah yes sir oh bummer i'm sorry you hear that

312
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:15,280
possibly i would have done better in mortal kombat i switched because i was

313
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:18,640
more comfortable with first-person shooters oh no

314
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:26,559
it's 2-1 oh wow that was a favorable spawn oh

315
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,679
what the see you later bud oh

316
00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:33,919
gg uh i won a 30 70 um from evga

317
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:38,080
i actually got destroyed i've been waiting for a card i guess beginning of

318
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:40,880
the year um so yeah it's been a few months

319
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:46,080
i'm looking to put together like a new rig so last piece of the puzzle and i

320
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:50,720
finally got it i don't want to i guess influence the scalper market

321
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:54,640
so yeah i would have waited i guess forever

322
00:23:52,320 --> 00:24:00,080
maybe 40 80 would be out by that night thank you LMG for putting this all

323
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,760
together and getting the cards to gamers

324
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:07,679
let's meet our next gamer my name is jonathan i've been watching lct since

325
00:24:04,679 --> 00:24:09,440
2014-2015 so a few years i do play a few

326
00:24:07,679 --> 00:24:12,960
first-person shooters um uh the most recent i've been playing

327
00:24:10,799 --> 00:24:18,559
d-pro galactic i'd like to think i'm decently good at FPS's uh

328
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:22,559
well where i measure up against Linus we'll see yeah i have zero experience

329
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:25,919
with halo so yeah that i don't know how that's gonna go

330
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:30,559
oh god you're this way oh no

331
00:24:27,679 --> 00:24:34,640
wow okay if you win here he goes again you can have a 20

332
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:39,360
discount 20 but you gotta not get one more death

333
00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:42,480
that's a great deal on a GPU i basically got a new computer apart from the

334
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:46,720
graphics card in uh october i'm running the entirely new system right now just

335
00:24:44,159 --> 00:24:50,320
with an rx570 oh how are you not dead yet jonathan's

336
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:54,080
already got one kill can he keep his lead or you're not dead yet

337
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:58,880
can you die please oh there goes 20 off oh that's such a shame

338
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,600
i mean i wasn't gonna pick super mario because i'm not great at platformers and

339
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:07,120
you know or mortal kombat i've never even seen mortal kombat before so

340
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:11,200
he just had to pick games he was actually good at

341
00:25:08,799 --> 00:25:15,679
if you don't die again you can have 15 points quit teasing the contestant's

342
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:21,520
life where you at boy as a gamer he's uh he

343
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,520
trash talks a lot

344
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:29,679
oh there he is got the foot shot Linus has completely turned the game back in

345
00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:33,440
his favor wow

346
00:25:29,679 --> 00:25:35,679
oh man all right

347
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:41,279

348
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:46,480
yeah i got smoked i'm just glad i actually got the opportunity right um otherwise i would

349
00:25:44,799 --> 00:25:51,200
have been paying two times three times the price with scalper prices and that's

350
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:55,279
just ridiculous so very happy i got this i'm ready for my next gamer come on in

351
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,480
my name is brandon probably been watching for about three

352
00:25:57,120 --> 00:26:02,400
or four years i watch all the main channels i've missed some you know

353
00:26:00,159 --> 00:26:07,840
Channel Super Fun videos but i try to stick to as much as i can i have a 9900k

354
00:26:05,279 --> 00:26:12,400
with 32 gigs of RAM uh 970 evo

355
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:17,360
and a 750 watt power supply but i don't have a video card because i sold it so

356
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:20,240
you know it's that's a problem i sold my card back in the summer and you know

357
00:26:19,279 --> 00:26:24,880
thinking i was going to be able to get no problem little did i know

358
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:28,960
everyone on the planet wants one if i don't get a single kill

359
00:26:26,799 --> 00:26:32,720
20 off what GPU you're buying 30 70. that's a

360
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:37,440
lot of money it's a lot of money it's a lot of money on the line so act like it

361
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:40,720
you going let's go all right all right these deals seem more like a mind game

362
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:44,240
than anything at this point man if i lose

363
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:47,840
i think i have a shot at it uh you know just playing wars and a lot but tink

364
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:51,440
Linus is pretty familiar with it and you know maybe uh after a whole day of

365
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:56,000
gaming he'll be all tired out and i might have a chance watch out folks he's

366
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,640
been warming up all day and these hands are hot

367
00:26:58,799 --> 00:27:05,200
see you later bud oh i'ma give it to you for 20 off if you

368
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:08,880
win all right all right so you get another do-over he

369
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:12,240
has some tricks up his sleeves and he's a he's a pretty tricky guy what is this

370
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:15,840
some game you play or whatever where there's no grenades apparently all right

371
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:19,360
see you later buddy do you not use grenades do you know do

372
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:23,120
you know what they do they you pull the thing and then you

373
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:25,440
throw them yeah they're so overpowered in there

374
00:27:25,919 --> 00:27:32,240
wait oh yeah it's over it's over did i just melee you four

375
00:27:30,559 --> 00:27:35,919
times i think you might have i was too busy pressing f i'm spamming after the

376
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:40,559
grenades yeah well i'm gonna press f pay respects to your chances there at a

377
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:44,400
discount but that's okay you still get a 30 70 at msrp which is basically like

378
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:48,320
getting it for half price these days yeah you think i'm gonna complain

379
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:54,159
this is 50 off basically at least someone is enjoying the savagery that is

380
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:57,120
halo against Linus yeah so i got an evga

381
00:27:54,159 --> 00:28:01,440
uh 3070 right here and it looks great i'm really happy with that um

382
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:04,799
i didn't get the discount but unfortunately but you know what it's

383
00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:08,320
msrp and i really can't complain about that i definitely feel a little bit less

384
00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:12,320
of a gamer by being beaten by Linus

385
00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:15,679
considering he i don't he plays as many video games as i do so that hurts a

386
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:19,520
little bit it stings but uh i just need to double down i

387
00:28:17,919 --> 00:28:24,960
think now so that if i do ever get this chance again i'll be ready

388
00:28:21,919 --> 00:28:26,399
welcome actual gamer uh my name is james

389
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:31,760
i'm a gamer i've been with Linus since the beginning

390
00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:37,279
basically i could say that i was hoping to play some FPS but i think i'm gonna

391
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:40,559
go with otherwise i'm gonna go with mortal kombat what do you think your

392
00:28:39,039 --> 00:28:44,640
chances are yeah

393
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:48,880
maybe now a little lower my chances are probably a little lower after hearing

394
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:51,679
that but you know i'm not warmed up yet so we'll see

395
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:55,520
hey he grabbed a mouse to play mortal kombat this is a good sign i mean evga

396
00:28:54,159 --> 00:29:00,240
all right they're they hooked us up they hooked you up

397
00:28:57,679 --> 00:29:05,279
everyone's getting gpus at msrp everyone's getting discounts if they can

398
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:07,840
beat me so go ahead here sure one round with

399
00:29:06,399 --> 00:29:14,720
no he's locked into the keyboard and mouse now what do you think this is it's not some kind of chair i made a mistake

400
00:29:12,559 --> 00:29:18,159
james has chosen the right game but has he chosen the wrong weapon previous

401
00:29:16,799 --> 00:29:24,720
experience with fighting games would mostly be smash bros a lot of smash bros

402
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:27,279
ever since smash 4 a little bit of mk

403
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:29,840
x not 11. i'm hoping they're pretty similar i should have went with the

404
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:34,960
controller i'm being stunned yes yes he's unlocked

405
00:29:32,799 --> 00:29:39,760
he's unlocked ladies and gentlemen here we go here we go here we go here we go

406
00:29:37,919 --> 00:29:43,440
oh this is the cheapest thing i've ever seen in my life

407
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:47,360
come on james you gotta mash those buttons strategically

408
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:50,960
oh crap wow that's how it's gonna be all right

409
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:56,159
no i don't even i don't even care what is this has Linus finally learned how to

410
00:29:53,440 --> 00:30:00,159
play did i just win it mortal kombat hold on a second here without mortal

411
00:29:57,679 --> 00:30:05,520
kombat as his weakness how will he ever be defeated oh not quite Linus please

412
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:12,240
have some mercy on the poor boy no yes unbelievable i got destroyed over

413
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:15,360
a comeback all day you get a 10 discount

414
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,360
anyway i don't even care

415
00:30:15,919 --> 00:30:23,360
no oh

416
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:25,440
my ego my ego feels so much better after

417
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:30,240
how hard i lost at this game my mouse and keyboard

418
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:33,440
i feel terrible i should have used a controller let's give you the

419
00:30:32,159 --> 00:30:38,080
opportunity i gave you the 10 discount do you want

420
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:40,880
to go double or nothing but you get to use a controller

421
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:46,240
so if you lose you get no discount if you

422
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:49,919
win though you get a 25 discount we have to you got to reduce i came all this

423
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:55,440
away and i was late like all right for the contract

424
00:30:52,799 --> 00:31:01,360
i think the true trademark of a gamer is to uh never tilt and never give up

425
00:30:59,279 --> 00:31:06,320
he's got a second chance but Linus is just about to put him down one last time

426
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:10,880
no wait there's no way

427
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:16,440
could james turn this around i don't know if it's quite enough is it

428
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,440
enough i think it's enough

429
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:25,919
strollers are better i pulled it off at the very end

430
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:32,159
25 discount new GPU 30 70 with 25 percent off

431
00:31:29,039 --> 00:31:33,600
sponsored by Linus himself uh was a

432
00:31:32,159 --> 00:31:36,480
quite a roller coaster to get there though i pulled it off with uh whatever

433
00:31:35,679 --> 00:31:41,760
left left and right trigger do together it really

434
00:31:39,519 --> 00:31:45,120
got my heart going and uh but yeah i'm really Linus i i shouldn't see lioness

435
00:31:44,159 --> 00:31:50,000
was very generous to still give me the double or nothing despite my failure in

436
00:31:48,799 --> 00:31:54,159
front so yeah i appreciate Linus for that well

437
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:58,960
that was a ton of fun and i didn't even have to lose quite as much money as i

438
00:31:56,399 --> 00:32:02,720
thought so that's a definite plus i just want to thank evga though not only for
