WEBVTT

00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:07.440
we are in the middle of the biggest GPU shortage of all time and yet somehow

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:13.840
these freaking tech reviewers Linus tech tips they've got an actual tower of rtx

00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:15.440
3060s and 3070s what gives well don't

00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:20.160
worry ladies and gentlemen because we will not be cryptocurrency mining and we

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:26.640
will not be scalping these today we are going to put these gpus into the hands

00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:28.880
of verified actual gamers with a couple

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

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:36.320
challenge has to take place outdoors but we will not

00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:41.120
let that stop us from putting these cards in the hands of verified actual

00:00:38.559 --> 00:00:45.520
gamers so here are two gaming stations separated by a plexi shield where you

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:52.000
will have the choice to play one of three games mortal kombat 11 super mario

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:58.320
bros 3 battle mode or halo combat evolved 1v1 against yours truly and

00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:01.760
here's where it gets really interesting if you lose

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

00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:12.000
you get it 10 below msrp that's right i

00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:15.280
will lose money and if you win you can

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:18.880
either take your 10 discount or double

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:21.360
down and get 25 off if you win in a

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:26.640
sudden death match or go all the way back to msrp if you lose

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:30.479
let's meet our gamers shall we after this message from our sponsor are you

00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:34.159

bandwidth and causing your games to lag get 25 off today using code Linus or at

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:40.600

because you're not verified yet i don't have a lot of experience in halo

00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:13.440

00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:20.360
better watch out you're gonna watch it you're gonna get needle boys looks like

00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:20.360
Linus is gonna be in for a tough match

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

00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:37.360
oh oh whoa there's all this

00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:42.800

very much Linus is surprisingly better than i

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

00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:27.280
gonna build my first pc and probably gonna do a lot of gaming

00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:30.959

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

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:51.519
i have a uh a good sixty percent chance of winning

00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:56.400
speeding lions today i am aware of the double down rules i will be going for

00:03:53.680 --> 00:04:01.920
the double down if i win the first round i need some mushroom

00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:04.319
yes i did not uh think he would be that

00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:09.120
good hopefully i'm up to snuff to beat him

00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:09.120
no oh it's another tiebreaker

00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:16.959

00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:07.280
three years now i was watching since the old langley house let's hope being a

00:06:05.039 --> 00:06:11.280
longtime LTT fan will bring you some luck against Linus all right that's one

00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:16.080
down he's a lot better than i thought he was

00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:20.639
come on looks like Jake's halo reach experience

00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:26.160
is helping him out what did i get a melee kill and die Linus dropping those

00:06:23.520 --> 00:06:30.080

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

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

00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:55.199
i was not expecting to be 3-0 bring in more gamers we need to stop this madman

00:06:51.919 --> 00:06:58.080
my name is plato aka last one

00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:02.560
um i am a game developer working at kabam currently i'm a front-end engineer

00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:05.840
i will try to beat him at halo because he's an app oh first

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:11.120
are we playing with mouse and keyboard right your choice

00:07:07.919 --> 00:07:12.240
okay so yes hey i'll try not to plow toe

00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:20.160
you over typically i've been watching LMG since 2014-15

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:25.039
around that i gotcha i haven't played this game

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

00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:33.759
you later plato come on plato you could have found some time in the past 20

00:07:31.520 --> 00:07:39.440
years to brush up on those skills gigi plato thank you very much for coming out

00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:42.000
i won a GPU uh i lost the matches but i

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:08:06.400 --> 00:08:11.759
that was a smart move or not i've been playing games like

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

00:08:13.599 --> 00:08:18.800
total sandbagger oh i'm sure you i'm not

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

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

00:08:29.039 --> 00:08:35.039
has poked the lion oh get away from me

00:08:32.560 --> 00:08:39.760
and they both bite the bullet i got a first kill on liner so i thought

00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:42.640
it would be easier but no it was like a lot harder

00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:47.839
oh see you later bud 2-2

00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:52.120

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

00:09:06.640 --> 00:09:12.080
that's a win in my books i'll use this GPU for my school work i'm a game

00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:16.000
developer so i'm needed for it challenger number six approaches so my

00:09:14.160 --> 00:09:19.920
name is johnny i'm here to buy a graphic card to verify i'm an actual gamer gamer

00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:24.720
you're going to beat Linus out today i played mario i'm feeling pretty good

00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:31.519
i'ma go get me another coin oh oh all right these poor gamers have yet

00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:31.519
to win any discounts on their gpus

00:09:31.839 --> 00:09:38.000
yes i think i could uh could have done

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

00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:47.680
coming out two out of three that's it gg man good

00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:52.880

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

00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:10.959
know don't feel peer pressure i hope to beat Linus at memes because

00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:16.000
honestly i'm not really sure that i'm that good of a gamer

00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:20.160
lttstore.com but you know isn't the real winning

00:10:18.160 --> 00:10:23.760
thing to just be in the presence of Linus

00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:27.920
no the real winning is beating lattice yeah you're right

00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:30.720
yeah getting a GPU at msrp is already a win

00:10:28.800 --> 00:10:35.440
up until a couple of years ago i used to be really into competitive overwatch

00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:38.480
okay all right you know what i

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

00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:49.040
and if you get killed only once i'll do 20.

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

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

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

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

00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:10.399
attitude see you later i assumed that he picked

00:11:09.040 --> 00:11:15.040
all these games because he was good at them so i definitely didn't come in

00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:18.560
hoping to win oh i'm sorry you know what though if you

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

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

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

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:35.040
Linus did you jump blow yourself up you have minus one point

00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:42.079
i was sure i didn't kill you i guess i blew myself

00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:49.760
that's okay you put forward a valiant effort and the consolation prize is

00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:52.399
still 30-70 at msrp there we go

00:11:49.760 --> 00:11:55.760

i just figured out a combo the timer Linus the timer what what just happened

00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:23.760
timed out shut up i don't even know the rules there it is

00:13:21.040 --> 00:13:29.360
our first discount winner do you go sudden death just one round for the

00:13:26.560 --> 00:13:35.200
opportunity to win a 25 discount with you on this yeah all right like stealing

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:37.440
candy from a baby okay all right

00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:41.760
because maybe i was faking it no i know when you're kidding

00:13:39.920 --> 00:13:49.000
i've watched your shows long enough let's go steve the hopes and dreams of

00:13:44.160 --> 00:13:49.000
GPU discounts lay in your hands

00:13:55.680 --> 00:14:03.279
that's it ladies and gentlemen i just gave out my first 25

00:14:00.959 --> 00:14:09.120
discount so i apparently am the first winner of the day i beat Linus and all

00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:12.959
the challenges good game gamer 25 off i

00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:15.680
was using a lenovo thinkpad notebook

00:14:12.959 --> 00:14:21.680
with a external graphics card in a b stock

00:14:17.760 --> 00:14:24.800
and uh 970 which i sold for 450 dollars

00:14:21.680 --> 00:14:27.279
no questions asked but i do have uh 580

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

00:14:29.920 --> 00:14:38.240
of the house and do things i'm kevin i upgraded my whole system and

00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:43.120
uh just after christmas but have been sort of lacking on the graphics card sex

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

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

00:14:48.800 --> 00:14:55.199
goes i've been watching the channel since it was ncxtec

00:14:53.440 --> 00:15:00.639
like whenever that was has the loss in mortal kombat

00:14:58.959 --> 00:15:04.079
oh there we go one kill down okay this guy knows what

00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:08.880
he's doing ladies and gentlemen oh looks like the halo king is back i

00:15:07.199 --> 00:15:13.920
had a feeling that he would probably be pretty good at whichever games he picked

00:15:10.959 --> 00:15:17.839
i think that's probably an advantage okay

00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:20.720
got the melee kill my expectations weren't super high because i probably

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

00:15:23.040 --> 00:15:30.720
problem unless kevin here is sandbagging me

00:15:26.880 --> 00:15:34.959
sandbagging run kevin he's a madman he

00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:36.959
lines beat me i was uh three nothing oh

00:15:34.959 --> 00:15:42.160
gg kevin thank you very much for playing i won

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

00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:52.560
since probably january i just like to thank Linus media group and evga for

00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:57.920
having this program and making cards more accessible to uh gamers i memory

00:15:55.600 --> 00:16:01.759
after i moved to vancouver or canada youtube just like stopped like started

00:15:59.839 --> 00:16:06.160
stuffing your stuff in and i started watching it and i was like okay like i

00:16:03.839 --> 00:16:10.160
like this i'm gonna pick halo because to be honest like i never

00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:14.000
played the mario battle something i i don't even

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

00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:22.160
i'm guessing my best chance with like halo i

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

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

00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:35.199
scalpers because as long as people are buying them like people gonna just do it

00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:38.079
again so i will say like okay like i will wait okay

00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.639
ah that's all right

00:16:40.880 --> 00:16:43.680
gotta reload

00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.560
oh see you later

00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:54.880
ah crap it's two to one

00:16:52.800 --> 00:16:59.680
let's see if emery can clutch two kills real quick

00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:03.120
oh there it is oh i was expecting this

00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:07.120
all right emery good game yeah it was a little

00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:10.400
humiliating but at least i'm in this little guy called rtx 3070 thanks to

00:17:09.439 --> 00:17:14.160
Linus finally i got one thank you evj next

00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:17.839
challenger approaches what's your name gamer my name is clarence i've been a

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

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

00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:31.600
duty today i think i'm going to beat Linus at halo i think

00:17:29.679 --> 00:17:37.520
shooters was my best option here i'm not good at fighting games or platformers so

00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:42.559
clarence just threw a grenade at a gun what what did you just

00:17:39.360 --> 00:17:44.880
did you just fall and die i sure hope he

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

00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:52.720
at FPS games 1-1

00:17:50.080 --> 00:17:57.840
oh no it's 2-2 got that nate kill

00:17:55.760 --> 00:18:02.320
we've got a tiebreaker situation ladies and gentlemen next kill wins come on

00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:05.200
melee finish clarence slips out of Linus's mail

00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:11.200
oh no yeah

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

00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:18.160
because it's my first time playing oh you went and you got that again

00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:24.720
didn't you again with the grenades Linus doing what

00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:24.720
he does best dropping everything he has

00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:30.720
good game man that was tight take the 10

00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:35.039
discount you earned it i stole that from you with that nade killed just take it

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

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

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

00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:52.080
but the uh graphics card and CPU so now i can

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

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

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

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

00:19:11.679 --> 00:19:18.799
kombat today okay i am going to come clean with you

00:19:17.120 --> 00:19:21.120
i have basically never played this game before

00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:27.840
you have chosen wisely oh boy he's not letting me move

00:19:25.919 --> 00:19:31.840
that's very cheap judging by the look on his face Linus is

00:19:30.080 --> 00:19:36.160
getting a taste of utter defeat and he even knows the finish him combos and

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:42.400
everything look at that do you want to go sudden death one more round to go

00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:44.640
from 10 to 25 discount i don't think

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

00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:54.960
while so yeah i'm fairly confident no he brought me over there the puppeteer mike

00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:58.880
what a move i didn't want to go over there

00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:03.600
oh all right

00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:04.960
gg gamer and thank you very much uh so

00:20:03.600 --> 00:20:10.400
today i won an rtx 3060. i have been waiting to put

00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:14.880
a new graphic card in my system for a very long time the parts have been

00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:18.799
sitting in my bedroom annoying my wife i i couldn't justify the scalpers if it

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

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

00:20:25.280 --> 00:20:32.080
like crazy cars and stuff and after finishing that i had the same sort of

00:20:29.840 --> 00:20:37.280
like handshake that you do getting out of like a proper sports car so it was

00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:40.240
fun next gamer come on up hello what's your name gamer my name is

00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:44.480
alexa i'm hoping to beat him at super mario

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

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

00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:57.520
to say like maybe 77 no that's really

00:20:54.799 --> 00:21:01.360
high like maybe 70 chance of beating him but we'll see

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

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

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

00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:18.640
no FPS no platformers no fighting we thought we had the spectrum covered

00:21:15.919 --> 00:21:24.400
pretty well here i normally play like really open wide like large story based

00:21:21.840 --> 00:21:28.960
rpgs like anything where your decisions matter i think my favorite right now is

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

00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:36.960
love the most all right unfortunately we don't have competitive dragon age

00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:42.400
origins dragon age won't help you on the bloody battlefield oh mario ralph

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

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

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

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

00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:04.000
videos all right about it will Linus see his first loss in mario

00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.000
battle today

00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:14.240
good game alexa i got the 30-70 and i'm very excited you

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

00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:23.280
say i'd say i'm almost where he's at maybe i'm really looking

00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:26.320
forward to baldur's gate three i've been kind of avoiding playing the beta just

00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:29.679
because i don't want to spoil it for myself before it's fully released

00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:34.880
definitely would not have been able to afford a new graphics card without this

00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:37.200
program so i'm very very very excited

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

00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:45.120
i just thought it'd be a game to pick up like really on the spot

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

00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:53.520
halo halo all right i've been watching LTT

00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:57.679
since the ncx days back when lioness was still doing unboxing videos should have

00:22:55.120 --> 00:23:00.930
stuck with your first choice eric Linus has been practicing all day

00:22:59.760 --> 00:23:06.000
got that name too watch out he's right behind you

00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:11.120
did i just get you yeah yes sir oh bummer i'm sorry you hear that

00:23:09.760 --> 00:23:15.280
possibly i would have done better in mortal kombat i switched because i was

00:23:13.280 --> 00:23:18.640
more comfortable with first-person shooters oh no

00:23:19.280 --> 00:23:26.559
it's 2-1 oh wow that was a favorable spawn oh

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:27.679
what the see you later bud oh

00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:33.919
gg uh i won a 30 70 um from evga

00:23:32.080 --> 00:23:38.080
i actually got destroyed i've been waiting for a card i guess beginning of

00:23:35.360 --> 00:23:40.880
the year um so yeah it's been a few months

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

00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:50.720
finally got it i don't want to i guess influence the scalper market

00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:54.640
so yeah i would have waited i guess forever

00:23:52.320 --> 00:24:00.080
maybe 40 80 would be out by that night thank you LMG for putting this all

00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:01.760
together and getting the cards to gamers

00:24:00.080 --> 00:24:07.679
let's meet our next gamer my name is jonathan i've been watching lct since

00:24:04.679 --> 00:24:09.440
2014-2015 so a few years i do play a few

00:24:07.679 --> 00:24:12.960
first-person shooters um uh the most recent i've been playing

00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:18.559
d-pro galactic i'd like to think i'm decently good at FPS's uh

00:24:16.320 --> 00:24:22.559
well where i measure up against Linus we'll see yeah i have zero experience

00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:25.919
with halo so yeah that i don't know how that's gonna go

00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:30.559
oh god you're this way oh no

00:24:27.679 --> 00:24:34.640
wow okay if you win here he goes again you can have a 20

00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:39.360
discount 20 but you gotta not get one more death

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

00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:46.720
graphics card in uh october i'm running the entirely new system right now just

00:24:44.159 --> 00:24:50.320
with an rx570 oh how are you not dead yet jonathan's

00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:54.080
already got one kill can he keep his lead or you're not dead yet

00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:58.880
can you die please oh there goes 20 off oh that's such a shame

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

00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:07.120
you know or mortal kombat i've never even seen mortal kombat before so

00:25:05.360 --> 00:25:11.200
he just had to pick games he was actually good at

00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:15.679
if you don't die again you can have 15 points quit teasing the contestant's

00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:21.520
life where you at boy as a gamer he's uh he

00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:21.520
trash talks a lot

00:25:21.840 --> 00:25:29.679
oh there he is got the foot shot Linus has completely turned the game back in

00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:33.440
his favor wow

00:25:29.679 --> 00:25:35.679
oh man all right

00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:41.279
good game yeah i won an rtx 3070 uga

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

00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:51.200
have been paying two times three times the price with scalper prices and that's

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

00:25:53.760 --> 00:25:58.480

00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:12.400
with 32 gigs of RAM uh 970 evo

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

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

00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:24.880
thinking i was going to be able to get no problem little did i know

00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:28.960
everyone on the planet wants one if i don't get a single kill

00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:32.720
20 off what GPU you're buying 30 70. that's a

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

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

00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:44.240
than anything at this point man if i lose

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

00:26:45.840 --> 00:26:51.440
Linus is pretty familiar with it and you know maybe uh after a whole day of

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

00:26:53.600 --> 00:26:58.640
been warming up all day and these hands are hot

00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:05.200
see you later bud oh i'ma give it to you for 20 off if you

00:27:03.520 --> 00:27:08.880
win all right all right so you get another do-over he

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

00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:15.840
some game you play or whatever where there's no grenades apparently all right

00:27:14.080 --> 00:27:19.360
see you later buddy do you not use grenades do you know do

00:27:17.840 --> 00:27:23.120
you know what they do they you pull the thing and then you

00:27:21.360 --> 00:27:25.440
throw them yeah they're so overpowered in there

00:27:25.919 --> 00:27:32.240
wait oh yeah it's over it's over did i just melee you four

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

00:27:33.840 --> 00:27:40.559
grenades yeah well i'm gonna press f pay respects to your chances there at a

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

00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:48.320
getting it for half price these days yeah you think i'm gonna complain

00:27:46.320 --> 00:27:54.159
this is 50 off basically at least someone is enjoying the savagery that is

00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:57.120
halo against Linus yeah so i got an evga

00:27:54.159 --> 00:28:01.440
uh 3070 right here and it looks great i'm really happy with that um

00:27:59.360 --> 00:28:04.799
i didn't get the discount but unfortunately but you know what it's

00:28:03.120 --> 00:28:08.320
msrp and i really can't complain about that i definitely feel a little bit less

00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:12.320
of a gamer by being beaten by Linus

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

00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:19.520
little bit it stings but uh i just need to double down i

00:28:17.919 --> 00:28:24.960
think now so that if i do ever get this chance again i'll be ready

00:28:21.919 --> 00:28:26.399
welcome actual gamer uh my name is james

00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:31.760
i'm a gamer i've been with Linus since the beginning

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

00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:40.559
go with otherwise i'm gonna go with mortal kombat what do you think your

00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:44.640
chances are yeah

00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:48.880
maybe now a little lower my chances are probably a little lower after hearing

00:28:46.080 --> 00:28:51.679
that but you know i'm not warmed up yet so we'll see

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

00:28:54.159 --> 00:29:00.240
all right they're they hooked us up they hooked you up

00:28:57.679 --> 00:29:05.279
everyone's getting gpus at msrp everyone's getting discounts if they can

00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:07.840
beat me so go ahead here sure one round with

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

00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:18.159
james has chosen the right game but has he chosen the wrong weapon previous

00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:24.720
experience with fighting games would mostly be smash bros a lot of smash bros

00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:27.279
ever since smash 4 a little bit of mk

00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:29.840
x not 11. i'm hoping they're pretty similar i should have went with the

00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:34.960
controller i'm being stunned yes yes he's unlocked

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

00:29:37.919 --> 00:29:43.440
oh this is the cheapest thing i've ever seen in my life

00:29:41.520 --> 00:29:47.360
come on james you gotta mash those buttons strategically

00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:50.960
oh crap wow that's how it's gonna be all right

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

00:29:53.440 --> 00:30:00.159
play did i just win it mortal kombat hold on a second here without mortal

00:29:57.679 --> 00:30:05.520
kombat as his weakness how will he ever be defeated oh not quite Linus please

00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:12.240
have some mercy on the poor boy no yes unbelievable i got destroyed over

00:30:09.120 --> 00:30:15.360
a comeback all day you get a 10 discount

00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:15.360
anyway i don't even care

00:30:15.919 --> 00:30:23.360
no oh

00:30:20.320 --> 00:30:25.440
my ego my ego feels so much better after

00:30:23.360 --> 00:30:30.240
how hard i lost at this game my mouse and keyboard

00:30:27.840 --> 00:30:33.440
i feel terrible i should have used a controller let's give you the

00:30:32.159 --> 00:30:38.080
opportunity i gave you the 10 discount do you want

00:30:35.840 --> 00:30:40.880
to go double or nothing but you get to use a controller

00:30:39.840 --> 00:30:46.240
so if you lose you get no discount if you

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

00:30:47.760 --> 00:30:55.440
away and i was late like all right for the contract

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

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

00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:10.880
no wait there's no way

00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:16.440
could james turn this around i don't know if it's quite enough is it

00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:16.440
enough i think it's enough

00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:25.919
strollers are better i pulled it off at the very end

00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:32.159
25 discount new GPU 30 70 with 25 percent off

00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:33.600
sponsored by Linus himself uh was a

00:31:32.159 --> 00:31:36.480
quite a roller coaster to get there though i pulled it off with uh whatever

00:31:35.679 --> 00:31:41.760
left left and right trigger do together it really

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

00:31:44.159 --> 00:31:50.000
was very generous to still give me the double or nothing despite my failure in

00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:54.159
front so yeah i appreciate Linus for that well

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

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

00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:08.159
