I'm going to make all right guys welcome to the lineus tech tips live stream
today we had some bad luck and we end up wow we're 20 minutes late you know what
I think this is actually the latest we've been if you don't factor in um no
you can't do it in there you have to do it in the other tab if you don't factor in the times where we've started on time
but then we've been just destroyed by uh
by technical difficulties and we've had to come back so it's that top one you
have to edit it and copy paste in all the stuff otherwise it won't work yeah sometimes it's finicky it's like YouTube
right that's so stupid yeah oh speaking of YouTube we're g to be talking about
YouTube's paid subscriptions a little bit later on in the live stream and what
all of this means uh what what we think of it as as content creators who
predominantly work through YouTube but we're going to start with Summer
drivers come on I mean it's one thing
when it's like that first major like rainstorm and the roads are slick and
people are like oh I forget how to drive in the rain and it's like you know what
I understand when it's the first major snowfall of the year and some people
don't have their snow tires on yet you get caught by
surprise but people who get in accidents in the summer what are you doing and
like the first one we ran into today it was a minor like there you could see
some scratches that's it the bolts holding on the license plate in the
front left an indent in the rear bumper
of the car that was hit like that was the damage
this chick was stopped in the left lane
of a two-lane Highway okay with huge
shoulders huge shoulders on both sides
she's just stopped right there it's like
does your car work do your legs work get
off the road
move I mean we're not talking people who are in major accidents and you know you
need to have like investigation of what
happened and and all that other stuff that goes on we're not talking about
that we're talking about are you in a minor fender bender where like you're
fine get out of the way anyway so that
delayed us by what like 40 minutes this morning half an hour 40 minutes right
around there so ngie our inters like waiting for us at NC for about 40
minutes this morning because we had no idea because we don't know how Google
Maps works with traffic apparently um
didn't I didn't think to check it and then on the way back to
I mean this one was legitimately a pretty legitimate accident but we
probably lost what a good half hour 40 minutes on the way back at least so I
mean it's one of those things where for all of you commuters out there who
actually commute Monday to Friday every week I mean this is probably sort ofi
sound like I'm complaining pretty hard for how bad my situation is I commute
once a week but today was today was an
ugly commute beautiful weather I wish I'd been on the bike because then then a
I could have uh are you trying to change that I can't fig just change it back to
the old one and change it I can't figure out change it this way uh oh it is on
Old oh it is on the old one oh it's probably not logged in I don't think
there's anything we can do about it right now um but yeah I only commute
once a week so for all my right I wish I was on the bike today because the
weather was gorgeous and I could have just kind of gone around things relatively easily as well not that you
should do that although it's funny because it's a very North American thing
for you know bikes on the shoulder uh
bikes in between lanes like all that stuff stop it stop it pause it um it's a
very it's muted okay just just kill it
our internet bandwidth is like stupid um so it's a very North American thing for
that to be like like over in Europe bites are all over the place you see
people like on their scooters going down the sidewalk you see them like you know
parked on the sidewalk basically there's no room to walk I I think it's just one
of those things where we have the luxury of this space here so we like create
rules that don't work unless you just have like tons of space like I don't
know I uh but we have tons of space we do have tons of space I don't necessarily want people parking their
bikes on the sidewalk why they Park their bicycle on the sidewalk you take
up the entire your bike is a lot bigger than your bicycle not really yeah not
really yeah takes up a lot more space in a bicycle another thing too is I've
noticed in Europe it doesn't matter which way the traffic was supposed to be
moving on the street cars are just parked pointing like whichever which
direction like you'll just you'll be cruising along this way and then you'll just like go over to the other side to
park perfectly normal over there here you get a ticket for sure car facing the
wrong way even if you're uh parked the wrong way outside your house that I
didn't know about yep uh we had a car parked the wrong direction outside of
our house because he just like pulled out of the driveway and just went the wrong direction cuz he just had to move
his car out of the way cuz we're were it was my brother I think pretty sure it
was my brother and we we were working on stuff in the front of the house so we're all home and car is in going the wrong
way take it take it wow and in front of
your house in front of our house in The Boondocks pretty much in the boonies but
if you think someone must have like called a c but there's a car station
right there oh so they were just on their way somewhere probably going
somewhere B luck because they don't usually hang around our area nothing ever happens in our area right so
they're usually going somewhere oh that's a
shame anyway yeah they're they're pretty not so happy about that I don't remember
if it was my brother or who it was but someone outside my house when we were all there got a ticket
that's who I'm throwing my keyboard around don't worry about it that was
aggressive wow it managed to type
vgy in front of our news items VG y y so
that it's like you're almost trying to play tribes yeah who gets that reference no
one all right so thanks to all 1,200 of you who tuned in in spite of the fact
that we're late and we are very sorry about that I'm done making excuse for
the first six minutes of the live stream so let's move on to our first news item
of the week which is check this out so
our link is wccf something whatever I don't know
what this website's called they should really work on that um and apparently oh
oh apparently press enter right after it press enter right after it wait what
click at the end press enter bam there we go copy paste you have to install the
Google Drive app for whatever freaking reason so apparently there's a retailer
in China who is selling hasbell chips so you can see here's a big old pile of
Intel's new and improved box art
honestly I don't know about this box art I don't like it it's like um when I
first remember when I asked you if this was the legitimate release yeah yeah the
reason why I asked that was because I was like that box art looks too cheesy
for Intel like the top looks like Intel
you know with the futuristic looking microprocessor
looking icy looking thing here it's it's these two bits which they can't see but
you can move your most over that's a little bit but that still seems like their style at least at least it looks
kind of sciencey sciencey and robotic and all there's like a picture of that I
was kind of confused about and what is this then there's like I don't know this
it's I like the idea is it's like oh what you can create with Intel
technology and it's about like creation and creativity and that kind of good
stuff and back to the news thing so um
ta bow has listed has well tripped so you can see the full specs of what's
available so the only real difference this is interesting so the 4770 and 4770
K have the same maximum turbo frequency this time around also apparently all
these chips are using HD 4600 Graphics
which is um I haven't which which is good because last time around a lot of
the lower-end chips were using the lower end onboard Graphics which to me is
completely backwards because low when
customers are going to be using onboard Graphics not guys who are buying like 47
7ks with that said the integrated Graphics um can benefit performance
customers if you're using features like quicksync which will allow you to
transcode your video using the onboard GPU uh so anyway you can see all the
specs for the chips there you can also see pricing converted and then there's
some boards that are available as well so there's a couple biostar boards an
MSI board as well as an ASUS Sabertooth
Z87 board that is apparently available now if you're viewing this from China
which I suspect you're not at least you won't be watching a YouTube archive from
China I discovered that there's apparently a lot of videos in of me in
China yeah we we talked about this quite a while ago didn't did we talk about it
on the live stream I don't think so n so China's big video sharing site um I
don't remember what it's called but YouTube's blocked over there so it's not YouTube um but there's videos there's
like a video of me unboxing like an ASUS ITX board that has like 26,000 views on
I'm like what really what's going on who
are you yeah who who are all these people watching my videos that I didn't
even know about at all which is kind of crazy it's pretty cool I mean piracy is
cool I guess but but like at least my content's like good enough to Pirate
yeah and if they're not going to be able to see it anyways who cares it is what
it is like if someone was doing it here and getting 26,000 views I'd be like
okay that's kind of annoying now it's pretty normal for Intel CPUs to be
leaked and available ahead of launch but we're like 3 weeks plus away from launch
this is sort of early even for like
Intel chips to be and normally you see them available in like Taiwan or
something yeah you know where all those manufacturers are anyway so you know
like a couple Master cartons of motherboards fall off a truck somewhere
or someone lost their job because they leaked it and like like bad things
usually happen yeah whereas this is just it seems like nope it's just there
apparently tiny Tom Logan has his Z87 boards we haven't got ours yet but he's
got some Gigabyte ones we're hoping for some from ASUS pretty shortly we've had
chips for weeks but uh no motherboards for them
yet so anyway Haswell is uh is very much
Upon Us by the look of things so let's
uh we're going to move through a few of our news items this week pretty quickly
I think because we've got a lot of topics to to cover but then we're going
to do some Twitter Q&A a little bit afterwards so our next news item we're
actually I mean okay um Logan from Tech
Syndicate is not the first one to have
reported on the illumar room prototype
but we thought we'd just give him a shout out because he's a great guy we
hung out a little bit at ausa's event and this is some cool technology uh this
video has been out for a little while now but check this out if you search for
illum room there you go that's how spell it illumar room on YouTube it is a very
cool demo of the Xbox for the lack of
knowing what it's actually going to be called Xbox 720 nextg Xbox with a TV
okay so the TV is here and then a projector setup that aims around the TV
so sort of filling the room so it's meant to be um an augmented gaming
experience so um what I mean what do you think is the coolest thing it does and
then I'll say the coolest thing and then we'll go from there I like the explosion
thing because okay spreading the screen past your TV unless you have like in the
demo tell them that it spreads the screen past the TV okay yeah yeah sorry
I I was focusing on what I'm doing here I didn't actually listen to you the
whole time sorry I guess that's rude um
I actually have stuff I had to get done anyways it can spread stuff across the screen or it can allow like just certain
things to go out so like say explosions or flares of any kind or big streaks say
if you're driving really quickly you could have like brake lights going past
yep I mean it can it can highlight items and stuff that you can pick up so so if
there if there's like if you kill some dude and there's a pickup item and it glows and you walk past that glow could
be on the other side of the screen like outside of the screen like sitting on
your bookshelf yeah because the projector is projecting this so what I
like the most is the explosions and the item thing okay because I most likely am
going to have um like shelving units or whatever on the side of my TV so it's
going to be inconsistent and I know from seeing the demo that it's actually very
good at covering that up and making it still look good but I would still not
really like having the entire environment like the whole thing spread
out past my TV yeah for me it's a very um it's a very noticeable break yeah
exactly when you have a TV which is like a super high quality bright image and
then still good but not as high quality not nearly as good washed and like on
objects and stuff like that with that said the alumar room uses a connect type
of sensor to compensate for objects
because it knows that they're there so it still looks really good but not as
good as obviously a TV you can only compensate so much I mean projector
technology isn't magic I mean it's not like Steve Jobs came back invented the
projector and delivered it all to us on
like a cushion that's made
of um stop
okay no anyways my favorite one is explosions
and like glowy things because it'll be cool to see it just the context yeah
without the distraction I guess exactly and then it would still be cool if I
miss an item it's like oh okay so my thing would be um things like weather
effects and debris that's what I thought was the neatest thing about it so you
could be uh one of the demos they showed and the demo is real it's not composited
or anything like that so one of the demos they showed was like a racing game
where you could have like snow or you could have weather effects that are in
the room that go beyond just looking through that window that you could sort
of in your mind's eye you could pretend is the cockpit not only that but if you
have like things like grenades or if you had something like a piece of your car
goes flying the projector could let it bounce off a bookshelf and land on the
floor with the same game physics that are being used by the game itself now
with all someone says stop lonus you are
oh probably the Steve Jobs bit right um
so with all of that said what are the odds you'd set this up assuming it was
free someone handed you an XBox 7 20 a
TV and a projector is this what you would do with them to be honest yeah I
would I would like the explosion thing and I would like the item thing okay stuff like the
snow where would you put it it would take up so much
space I mean projector like short throw projector will help yeah and you don't
have to always have it there as well but
I mean it's yet another thing to turn on I mean if you got like a universal REM
app for a phone or something in the thing don't they have it on a table I
think this is going to be really Niche is sort of my point oh I'm sure like
super Niche I mean you look at how cheap projectors are now you can get a good
quality 1080p projector for less than a thousand bucks it's still cool though
because your no one buys them your one friend or your one friend's dad who
cares enough is going to have it set up and when you go to their house it's
going to be awesome whether or not you set it up I think it would be cool to
set up I would at least try okay I mean I've thought things were gimmicky that
ended up being a thing before I thought
the DS was ridiculous really I did
awesome I was like no no I mean when I heard about it when I got one and I was
like oh okay like I got it I was like okay I do use the other screen for some
stuff with that said I didn't look at it much yeah but I like that it was there I
I I thought it would be good just because of Pokemon the only thing I play on mobile devices anyways is Pokemon
like that's the only reason why I've ever bought game boys is because of Pokemon I'll end up playing like a few
other games but it's pretty much Pokemon of Tetris um so we'll see we'll see I
don't see myself setting this up even if even if someone handed me the projector
I'd probably just like go have like a projector room and like a TV room and
they would just be different if I somehow could like if I had either a
roof mount or if I had a table that was properly lined up I think I would set it
up even then though it's okay so there's the wire mess there's the sort of pain
in the butt with all the inputs and all that mess um I don't mind cable managing
things yeah see you you really really really really hate putting holes in your
wall oh I do but I would very properly and nicely cable manage it along the
roof okay well why don't we move on to our next topic so guys if you're not
already subscribed to Tech Syndicate raise the world with a zero instead of
an O I've you know I gave him heck about the name of his YouTube channel when uh
when I met up with him I was like dude what's what's up with that how are
people supposed to find your YouTube channel okay so raise r a z not r a i s
e raise the world
z.0 go subscribe to Logan if you aren't already and tell him his YouTube channel
name is dumb all right he does well enough yeah I know I know he does okay
but it's not because people remember the name of his channel I don't think I
remember maybe that's part of it it stands out so much it's ridiculous so
you're like whoa yeah but it's hard to tell someone about it true speaking of
things that are going to be hard to communicate this is the Claris
companion a tablet designed for seniors so senior
citizens I don't know if you guys have any senior citizens in your family I
sure do and I remember my grandpa signed
up for uh one of those telis promotions where you got if you signed up for a
fixed contract of I think it was three years you got a free Dell computer um so
that you could leverage the internet that you just paid them in advance sort
of like you booked in advance with them okay so this was back when a computer
anyone cared about um so this was the promo before they did the free notebook
which was before they did the free Wii
so this was a long time ago like back when Wei was a thing right Nintendo oh
in trouble anyway um I digress so the
free computer thing I remember sitting there trying to show him how to use a
mouse he'd get to like the edge of the table and be like what do I do now like
no like I kid you not like that's what it's like uh do you remember the guy who
works at NC who did a lot of the uh the it admin he used to teach a class back
in the 80s on using the computer and the
mouse was very Sim like everyone was like that back then apparently like he
he put together the most ridiculous possible curriculum he taught it at UBC
wow yeah and people came in and paid good money to take this course on like
not having the mouse like fall off the desk as you got to the edge like kid you
not anyway so my grandpa was like that I can't even imagine after that experience
trying to put a tablet in front of him so the Claris companion attempts and I'm
not going to say they've achieved it because I haven't had my hands on one but attempts to make it friendly for
seniors so it uses a bamboo wooden design that's designed get this guys to
look kind of like an old school CRT TV
set with like a wooden frame and like the speakers at the front and yeah and
the speakers at the front see the speakers at the at the bottom on the front right there Amplified speakers
with huge ginormous fonts optimized for
senior citizens it only has it doesn't even say what OS it runs like I actually
don't know what OS it is it's probably an insanely modified version of Android
like unrecognizable super cut down unrecognizable there's like five buttons
on the front and they're things like pill schedule like call daughter like
like that's pretty much all it does uh it's expected to have a cellular data
connection and they have a subscription service that depending how much you pay
for the Claris companion up front the subscription is cheaper the more you pay
for it up front there's even a lifetime option which is $1,000 and I did the
math and apparently the company is expecting the old people to live for
like another year or two based on the lifetime subscription
and I was like oh my goodness that's kind of a sad thought because you'd never offer a lifetime subscription for
a cellular service to someone in their 20s for a
thousand bucks I should buy one just to
see how long they honor my lifetime subscription guys if you want me to do a
Kickstarter to spend $1,000 on a Claris
companion to get a lifetime
subscription we're not doing that we're that would be horrible we're like
actually not doing that you would never ever use it and you probably can't
transfer your cellary service so like here's this crap crap tablet that you
can use for the rest of your life yeah so it has easy grip sides and I think
we're pretty much done talking about it built-in charger for connector for
eliminating fussy cables amplified speaker ERS and huge fonts and so anyway
yeah I thought that was sort of interesting they they actually reached out to me that's where I got this news
item from they were like do you want to talk about this tablet I'm like yeah sure I guess also want to clarify I
didn't mean crap is in like it's a bad tablet I meant crap is in know like the
OS being lock we the the OS being locked down in 40 years it's not going to be
the fastest thing that's what I meant by a crap tablet but it'll be made of wood
bamboo and it will therefore be still working probably maybe wood won't exist
anymore yeah that's true it could be a collector's I bet it is a collector's item by that
by that point the first Bamboo tablet we're not talking Wacom Bamboo tablet
we're talking a bamboo tablet here folks
now uh let me tell you this is the best gosh darn Bamboo tablet that I ever done
seen you should go ahead and for only $1,000 you get a lifetime
subscription it's like I I totally picture this on QVC
right let me tell you old folks this right here let you keep in touch with
your done gosh darn dare grandkids like they should advertise on QVC seriously I
I think they would actually sell a fair number cuz it's not a bad idea no it's
not not at all it's just I'm not the target market no I'm not either but it
is not a bad idea so I poke fun at it a little bit my grandpa's not the target audience either he tries to be techsavvy
but I know quite a few older people that would just don't want to have anything
to do with it if they can just press a few buttons they're good and done you know what it's funny because my mom
thinks she's techsavvy but if I handed her that she probably couldn't figure it out oh my mom could figure that out yeah
my mom doesn't watch the live stream though so so your mom watches which is I know why you're saying she'd be able
toig no she could figure that out Slick's mom watches the live stream for
those of you who don't know which is I think absolutely
awesome um okay why don't we do a little bit of Twitter Q&A she's getting oh I
wish I had a picture of it my mom's getting a super boss mechanical keyboard
so well it's okay we'll unbox it for sure yeah okay just tuned in is that
your new office no we're moving to the new place in about three weeks we were
filming a video and kind of took over the other area yeah we were filming the
build guide for uh the Intel spawn oned build guide that we have upcoming so the
entire garage has been torn apart our height adjustable table is where our
normal table is this table is in our fastest possible set and our microphone
is here so yeah like chair is here this
is actually this white wall back here is the set for fastest possible on Tech
quickie yeah so there you go um are you
y oap are not ready for tablets at least
they can hit what they see though my grandparents just got Broadband she is
not ready for this fair enough
James hello to South Africa I tried out
a few mechanical keyboards at Micro Center Blues are my favorite switches
top blue switch keyboards honestly any blue switch keyboard is hard to go wrong
pretty much if they're making a blue switch keyboard they're probably have pretty good build qualities at this
point in time Fair bit of chat in the Forum there was a there was a what's
your favorite switch thread a lot of people are validating Corsair stance
that Reds are for gaming yeah saying that they get they get hand fatigue
finger fatigue from gaming on blues or Browns anything with tactile feedback
weird I've never gamed for that long so I have I want greens which are heavier
okay well my hands aren't going to get fatigued it's just not going to happen
from pressing pressing a key switch down no maybe that's a thing it's just not a
thing with me you can't really comment on future products guys I muted The Big
Bang Theory to watch you that's good because Big Bang Theory has a laugh
track and uh maybe we should add one
I tried to get off screen for that but I don't think it worked you did good thanks well we should add a laugh track
to our uh our live stream just whenever things are not funny yeah we'll be like
EA and there'll be like that one chick in the laugh track that's
like we should record our own terrible laugh track we should get a whole bunch
of people we know and record our own you know what's funny because like half the time we're having conversations off
camera about how to make the live stream like more professional and like more
like an actual show and then when we actually like get down to it what we're
thinking of doing recording our own laugh it's all like the worst possible
ideas you could possibly have for a show like we could make a show called all the
things that shows shouldn't be and then yeah be all our ideas pretty much be
this one yeah you're
late your time changes all the time your
set changes all the time topics are not usually ready hey we have topics like
pretty darn right we did good this week we did well it helps that I Was
preparing them in the car for like an hour and a half as we drove back from
NCIX so uh building a new Intel PC soon is unreleased product a better than
unreleased product b or dude come on
what am I supposed to say we don't know yet my friend wants to get a new
graphics card to play the latest games at 1920 by 1080 for example Battlefield
3 What GPU budget is $460 first of all
what kind of a budget is $460 that's odd
specific for how high it is yeah it's like it's one thing if people are like
yeah I have $75 to spend you kind of go okay
460 could he spare another 23 cents
anyway um at that price point buy yourself a 7850
or honestly like isn't 70 or 7850 sorry
7950 kind of confused when you is 7950
just the card to buy it's crushing I don't like every game test we
do 7950 just wins and you know what it's funny because the comments on the latest
one oh you guys are always testing AMD gaming evolved titles not testing any
Invidia titles it's like AMD is giving away like eight games with the 7990 we
get games when they're giving away with cards a lot of the time yes and NVIDIA
is giving away one game right now we will test Metro last Light and we will
test last Light definitely that will we will but it's like we can't do anything
about the fact that every hot title right now is a gaming evolved title and
it's funny because the same thing happened not that long ago when every
title was a way it's meant to be played title oh lus you don't test any gaming
of all yeah try releasing one yeah yeah
anyway we will test met last I'm all worked up today you are stressed out but
in in that bracket they have 660 Ti and our 660 Ti was the like the original
beast power Edition one yes so you would think that that card should be able to
run with it but like be like golden sample that category but it's the 7950
just and like 79 70 7970 doesn't really
perform that much better especially when you overclock them both which you should
that yeah that jump right there is an interesting So speaking of your friend
wanting to play Battlefield 3
um he can't very likely he can't yeah
right now maybe if he wants to enjoy the single player campaign which is single
player even working you have to go through Battle Log to launch campaign
okay so tell them what's going on cuz they don't know I haven't read this
entire article but from what I heard it's not in here yeah awesome talk about
it I'm just going to go off the top of my head then what I think is happening because I read a little bit is that um I
don't know if it's just EA as a whole or it's like battle um origin section or if
it's just Battlefield 3 section I don't know how this is exactly work should be
going down but a lot of people I don't know if it's everyone I'm pretty sure
it's just a lot of people can't actually connect to Battlefield 3 so connection
to EA servers blah blah blah error one so EA's response is that there's been it
sounds like there's been some kind of a targeted attack on their servers that's
been holding them down for what about a week now a really long time people are
not happy no and so what my theory is
that all the guys who were attacking our Forum are attacking EA
now uh it's my
theory yeah cuz that it's about yeah
yeah it's about a week it's about a week since we've had like serious downtime uh
speaking of the Forum guys if you are not members of the linest tech tips.com
Forum go sign up right now everyone go
right now yeah everyone go right now and sign up and we're going to see how she
handles it even if you're even if you are already signed up go and just like
hang out let's have a let's have a bro session on the forums bro session on the
Forum everyone go hang hang out go to General post about what's going on
yeah let's just see what happens cuz we're we're kind of curious we have made
some serious upgrades to the infrastructure that's going on so to put
this in context since January we have gone from hosting the Forum on a weak
sauce computer at my house like under my desk yeah to hosting on a beast computer
with six cores of CPU and 48 gigs of RAM
at NC to outgrowing that to hosting it
at a data center to outgrowing that to changing our
software and everything just generally getting better and uh and still hosting
it at a data center with like a bajillion CPU cores and all the good
things that are going on so things are seriously uh going well for the Forum so
many people are joining it's honestly like would you say anecdotally in terms
of typing a question and expecting to get an answer in a timely manner it's
the best Forum you've ever been on probably for me because I've had
problems in the past where if I have a difficult enough question I don't even
bother ask because I'm like by the time I get a proper answer to this I probably
will have figured it out that or if you have a super simple question that you're
afraid to ask you get flamed
and flam everything's bad just destroyed and I don't see any of that on this
forum not flaming we've had a few random
threads while I've seen the answer not be almost immediate a few few yeah a few
not that many but a few but guys if you have a tech question I have a lot of
people still sending me like private messages on YouTube or Facebook messages
guys I can't I get hundreds of messages
a day it's too much for me and I'm a very small fraction of how much he gets
I mean it's one of those things where it's like I love you guys and I want to answer every question and I read them
all because it gives me ideas for making videos but it's one of those things
where either I can be ask geves like ask
lin.com you type in an answer and I just sit chain to a computer desk and reply
to all the questions or I can be L as
Tech tips the guy who actually makes videos and uh you can watch videos about
the things that are good to do with uh the tech industry so yeah those are the
those are pretty much the two options um here so let's have a look
hasn't slown down at all we have 1,65 users on right now 513 members 544
guests you got y'all got nothing so anyway you tried you tried so guys do
hang out on the Forum we're we're thinking of issuing a challenge we
should do a video about it it's it's coming soon coming soon okay okay but
soon there'll be so if you guys are early to this then you'll be that much
awesomer but we're going to be issuing the make Linus Tech tips Forum your
homepage challenge we have we have a few interesting changes that we want to do
to it that will um make it easier to have it as your homepage Y which and so
so yeah so the the places that are most active guys General discussion news is
Super Active honestly I started getting most of my news from lus Tech tips Forum
it's pretty cool it's kind of awesome great Community contributions and news
guys so like if you're there you're you're actually maybe not up to the
minute but you're kind of up to the hour and you don't have to deal with the
terrible site design on reddit.com wow I'm on a roll here taking
shots at EA taking shots I bet Reddit just like destroys me now yeah I don't
think Reddit site design is terrible what it's efficient the community There
Is Awesome the site design not as awesome efficient okay why don't we
agree that the community is awesome and the site design is at least this far
away from the community's awesomeness level it's very efficient the reason why
dig fell behind was because dig changed too many things and it was no longer
efficient it was messy okay I agree that it's hard to change something about a
hyper popular site what would you change about Reddit it's so efficient the whole
thing is about the front page and it's very very very efficient everything is
laid out very nicely and cleanly okay but what about finding stuff that isn't
on the front page the search function actually works really well and if you go
to a sub form again very clean okay deteriorate as a new user on Reddit
though I couldn't figure out what any of the subreddits were there's like a
bajillion subreddits that have seemingly zero
documentation that's not good site design look on the right yeah there's
some stuff there but there's how many aren't there well that's not site design
that's the person who created the subreddit putting in less
information okay well why don't we just agree to disagree on this one all right
I don't think the site design is actually that bad it's not interesting
it's not that pretty but it's very efficient and it's very good at doing
what it tries to do which is be efficient speaking of Reddit found a
fantastic post on Reddit about the US
Banning the blueprints for a 3D printable gun yeah good
luck if someone wants that to be online that will be
online like I I don't know you dumb bro
I that's what he's trying to do I was like I have no idea what this person is
doing anyways yeah if someone wants that to be online that'll be online it'll be
somewhere okay the entire the entire Reddit thread is just like people being
like I didn't even hear about this I downloaded it because I can because they
told me not to like you know what that's
how the internet works I mean remember the Anarchist Cookbook
yeah that's everywhere it's like it's like one of those things where it's like
how hard was it to get a copy of it you you ban it and you make it more popular
yes the only reason why people okay not necessarily the only reason why people
heard about this especially but the only reason why people hear about certain
things is because they get banned I did not hear about the Anarchist Cookbook
until they banned it and I was like oh that's kind of neat I wonder if I can
find the oh there it is right there and there and there and
there and there and and on everyone's USB thumb drive at school at the time
because it was like it was one of those things where it's like I didn't go to school with anyone who was going to blow
anything up no it was just idle curiosity because they banned it why was
this banned I want to know what's in here that's that bad yeah it's like and
we're not promoting Anarchy and I'm not actually even saying necessarily that I
think 3D printed guns are the greatest thing ever CU I don't all we're saying
is Banning things won't work on the
internet D it's like uh what was uh what
was Boll saying on the way on the way back um that Beyonce's uh PR was trying
to get all like non flattering images of her off the internet removed from the
Internet it's like okay a Beyonce is not
that attractive like so many stars it's
all about getting the right angle with the right makeup and the right lighting
it actually doesn't have a whole lot to do and the right four days worth of
Photoshop and there yes exactly there's a whole lot of that going on don't kid
yourself um and there's yeah it's like you can't
remove like pictures from the internet so it's going as far as like uh pictures
of her while she's singing and on stage and doesn't look good and trying to get
them removed like not going to work dude
yeah someone needs to explain the internet to Beyonce as well if beon
Beyonce if you're watching that's not how the internet works by the way you
have a lot of money we can sit here and
explain how the internet works yeah a consultancy yeah we'll take all that
money try and buy EA and turn it into a successful company okay so to start with
the Internet is a series of
tubes you know that reference just never gets old I know I love it guys if you
haven't seen it it's some US senator or something this the subtitle for our
networking forum is a series of Tu is it really that's almost as good as the
troubleshooting Forum I had someone specifically send me a tweet saying how
much they loved the subtitle of our of our trouble shooting forum it's help I
need somebody help does do we have not just anybody
not just anybody yeah okay I added that so it was more easily recognizable there
we go uh okay so moving on to our uh our
first Community news item because pretty much all of the news items are Community
news items this week check this shiz out
so AMD has gone full 360 here and I
actually meant 360 you know how half the time people say 360 they actually mean
180 yeah how many I've done it yeah it's
like I turned around 360° on that
issue oh so you have the same
stance yeah no no not actually that they've done a 360 here so initially um
their next Generation products were going to be 8,000 series they were going
to be released in 2013 then they came out and said no new gpus in
2013 then they went and released 7790
like what which is is a 7,000 series by
name but not much more than that it's a different architecture it has been
tweaked somewhat um so then there was
that and then there's the 7990 which isn't a new GPU technically n but is a
new card so they released that which we still they say no new gpus I believe
they did say no new gpus okay so$ 7990 doesn't technically break it but then
check this out so there's a couple references this was submitted by tib I
don't know how he wants us to pronounce that or she not sure um so there's a
couple of of references here but basically the 8,000 series for desktops
might be skipped entirely and that's not the first time this kind of thing has
happened NVIDIA didn't do a GTX 300 series yeah that was so confusing that
was weird um you know they they changed naming schemes all the time AMD went
from x800 to x1800 if I recall correctly
um which was like okay I guess so they skipped like 10 Generations there um so
so apparently they're thinking of skipping 8,000 series for desktop
there's already 8,000 series for notebooks but they are purely rebrands
okay and apparently the allnew 9000 Series might be released in December
2013 might it'll be manufactured at 20 nanometer according to the rumors this
is all allegedly and so there should be less power consumption and heat output
more performance per watt and it'll be paired with a new architecture so what
this could mean allegedly is that we're getting not only a die shrink but also
an architecture change at the same time big risk potentially big reward they've
certainly had a long time to work on it yeah in fact internally they may have
already finished an 8000 series design which might have been a die shrunk 7,000
series and then just decided not to bother because maybe it didn't perform
that much better with the die shrink you saw what happened with Intel and their
latest die shrink where they're not actually getting a whole lot more clock
speed out of the chips uh they're saving on power consumption but they're not
necessarily getting a ton more performance um we saw this with Sandy
bridge to Ivy Bridge could have been that they we just went okay let's just not do this let's wait and you look it's
been almost two full graphics card develop uh release Cycles maybe we'll
just do 9,000 Series so maybe that's what's happening this is all allegedly
supposedly according to rumor I know nothing for sure about this if I did I
would not be talking about it just to inter really quickly um about that
Battlefield 3 being offline thing that I was talking about earlier for anyone who
wants more information about that because I was not conclusive I just tweeted out the URL link that I had for
it so check that out um AMD's Chief technology architect Jim Keller uh
apparently said blah blah blah sea Islands encompasses the PS4 chip as well
as new mobile chips and bond air GPU found in the 7790 I bring this up
because it shows people inside AMD continue to work hard long hours to deliver great products etc etc amongst
the turmoil shown in the Press so the next generation is coming this year and
shaping up nicely is what he says when you name products after places it leads
to interesting thoughts about where to hold the events surrounding the namesake
product it would be really cool if they did an event on a volcanic island it'd
be a real shame if all their Engineers died in a volcano so AMD if anyone's watching
maybe just do it somewhere else that's that that would be pretty Beast though
got to take some risk take some risk yeah don't worry about it um so anyway
that's really cool news I mean AMD did you see that they
stock actually I haven't looked at it since then maybe it's gone down a bit
but but still boom is it still exploding so no I'm saying oh but still it went
boom went up a lot they seem to be firing on at least one cylinder now
which is more than they were before they were it was when we not even that long
ago while we had this live stream running it was pretty scary looking
pretty dire there a few live streams where we almost hinted to like oh God
they've got all the game devs on board now with the graphics cards they've got
releases like coming when it looked like they weren't going to release anything
uh yeah very very exciting stuff so I'm really stoked to check out 9,000 Series
hopefully we get one prior to launch so we can bring you guys some launch content that didn't happen with 7990 or
7790 still waiting for AMD's trying actually there are guys over there that
are trying to get us the allocation so we can show you guys this cool stuff
right when it comes out uh let's move on to our next one which is not a cracket
ea
and boom I'm going to need oh
okay no bad language on the uh as a huge
lover of the Assassin's Creed series okay well uh so this was posted without
probably too much helpful information by ixie yourf face on the forum for that
matter oh crap I don't think I uh I don't think I called out our oh yeah I
know I did um but there you go Assassin's Creed
creator and designer fired allegedly by
Ubisoft so there's a bit more to the story than that and uh Patrice has said
that they fired him Ubisoft has said they parted ways due to a difference in
Creative direction or some some corporate speak something along those
lines so he designed and created the
Assassin's Creed franchise which is the favorite gaming franchise of at least
one of the people in this room it's it it ties TI for Elder
Scrolls with Elder Scrolls okay okay so there's that
um however so his his statement has been
they fired him unjustly uh he's only been back for two
months because he left back in 2010 to go to THQ and then he's been back for a couple
months we we're not sure what he was working on um forbes's article sort of
speculated that maybe he had a disagreement with the yearly release
cycle proposed for Assassin's Creed I think we've talked about that on the live stream before uh we talked uh I
don't know if it was for Assassin's Creed okay anyway yearly release Cycles
is like oh no yeah we didn't talk about it for Assassin's Creed I mean that's insane it's like could you be any more
public about we're just going to milk this I don't mind if they come quickly
and they're good but fixing release Cycles is NE I hate that fixing dates
like release it when it's done bring it on like throw more people at the problem
make it fast make it awesome yeah but if there's a problem like don't do a fixed
date please don't do a fixed date un the game and then release it so there's some
speculation maybe he didn't like that there's some speculation that he was actually working on completely different
things internally and it has nothing to do with that but one way or another he
came out and made a statement that went ah shoot I forget his wording and I don't have that on there but something
along the lines of I'll defend myself my team and my game and there will be some
kind of action but no one really knows what it is up till now so uh so there
you go very very interesting so that's out of Ubisoft Montreal all so my uh my
Canadian my Canadian Bros are got some
sort of stuff to figure out over
there uh why don't we do a little bit of Twitter Q&A sure sorry guys I know
Twitter Q&A is just sort of random but
uh it is what it is so there you go and random is what it is hey Ryan hi Ryan uh
they also fired the producer Assassin's Creed okay so it wasn't just one person
that's interesting plateauing a bit from the increases thank you James
I am doing a 32 crucial M4 raid one
array no that's a terrible idea with three or four raid cards 48 ssds maybe
in the future you do not need a raid one array with ssds let me tell you that
much if you're using four high performance raid cards which I'm
assuming you are you will actually probably do just as well with something
like even a raid six because you'll be able to do massive random performance
with an array like that I mean honestly you don't even probably need that many
any ssds like to to to max out the
performance you could probably even go four ssds per card or something along
those lines like I'm really interested what his use Cas is for this yeah what the heck is this even for you if you
need raid one grade reliability why are you using consumer ssds that's something
you should be asking yourself especially when he's buying 40 48 ssds maybe in the
future okay I heard I heard a rumor that there's an Enterprise grade SSD coming
that's going to be very reasonably priced from not crucial can't say who it
is but should be coming soon cool maybe kind of like an Enthusiast sort of
diamond in the rough skew cool I'm going to sleep now 2 amm in the Netherlands
good night Bart good night Bart what games are you guys looking forward to
why do we buy all this Hardware what game are you looking forward to besides
blood dragon which you haven't played yet no but it's out so I can't really
look you can look forward to it I guess I can I played a little bit it's
freaking awesome except that it's said in the past so I'm looking forward to
2007 it's back to the future all over
again um well other SCH is online but
I'm hesitantly looking forward to that because of some of the problems that
we're had I'm going to try and not talk about this as much as I possibly can um
Black Flag so we've gone through the my two favorite series which we already talked about Assassin's Creed Black Flag
it's be like pirate version of Assassin's Creed they're all Pirates
they're all Pirates okay I thought you pirated you hear about the piracy game
of piracy or or like it was the game about being a Game Dev it was The Game
Dev and if you pirated it they pirated your game in the game so you could never
be a successful game developer if you pired the game that was brilliant yeah
and so there was all these people complaining on the forums about this it
was it was an indie game and he released all the stats so he had a non-personally
identifiable like tracker in the game that reported back C phoned home and let
him know if it was a pirated copy or a real copy and uh it was some massive
percentage of of the games that were being played were pirated and then what
happened is it was like Game Dev Tycoon kind of thing like Game Dev Sim and so
people would reach a point where their company would get to this size and then
they'd never be profitable because everyone would pirate their game so they were posting on the forums I can't
figure out how to get past this part like this is ridiculous everyone just
Pirates my game I can't be successful yeah and then the irony was like that
that guy's having trouble making ends meat because he can't be successful
because everyone pirates because you pirated his game anyway
jerk so pirate version of Assassin's Creed you think that's frustrating in
the game that's frustrating in real life yeah let me tell you as someone trying
to run their own business these days like the amount of stress that you go
through without people stealing your work yeah
is a lot um uh another thing that I'm really
really looking forward to is a uh are you really still talking about this sequel of Hotline Miami oh okay you
haven't played that either no it's amazing uh do you know anything about
the razor oroboros disappearing
no no okay plan on playing games 670
power Edition or should I get the 7950 you know what either of them is a great
choice 7950 has had the edge lately in our testing particularly once
overclocked uh YOLO swag for G ofh Jesus is the new official
Liv no it isn't first time watching live yay hi
Ivan uh tuning in tonight my boyfriend
watches you guys hi Elizabeth and boyfriend that was the Ryan call out you
should EA it's a great investment not just not just something
to do with is EA a verb now I don't know I'm
just going to EA that it could mean anything release it ahead of schedule
there won't be any support you won't be able to actually access it I'm going to run it into the ground I'm going EA it
if I'm not done something I can just submit a corrupted file and be like oh
it's just E8 don't wor it don't worry about
it we can I suspect this and I'll be like uh I'm not commenting so if anyone
from EA is watching guys we do need sponsors for the show come on
down why don't we move on to our next topic uh ah this this is very
interesting so this is another uh Forum submitted topic so check this out guys
yeah I said I said this so remember when power supplies so this is
from list fiser list
fisar yeah it's from Norway so dude you're cool we love you we love Norway
but we don't we don't get your name um so list Fisker from Norway says has well
compatibility with cors their power supplies has been released which leads
us to an interesting topic so most power supplies are ready to go with Haswell
some are still to be confirmed and might need some tweaks to function um silver
Stone has come out and said all of theirs are working uh seic I believe has
a compatibility list as well and there's a good reason for this now back when I
was getting into computers a 350 smart blue that came with the antec land booy
was a pretty good power supply and if you really wanted you could get yourself
a true blue and that might be a 430 or even a 480 watt fancy but then all of a
sudden after that it was this ARM and before that it was like you know
anywhere from 150 to sort of 250 watt like there was this progression and then
after that it becames arms race to bigger wattages ocz changed the game
with the Power Stream 520 watt there was
also a Power Stream 600 watt but it had two 12vt rails which meant that with SLI
configuration sometimes it didn't work so the 520 watt was the really well
regged one after that Ultra had the
1300 watt power supply it was like an external thing or maybe that was an
ultra I remember there was one extern I remember that though yeah actually
needed two plugs in it and for it to even output the maximum power you had to
have it hooked up to two circuits in your house if you were in North America
I remember seeing build Logs with it and just be like what even is that what are
you doing and then case manufacturers released cases that accepted two power
supplies so Silverstone tj7 my case it's
like I used the extra space for radiators but you could put 2,000 watt
Silverstone Striders in there you could have 2,000 watts of power anyway uh so
it got kind of ridiculous for a bit with wattage then the efficiency race came 80
plus 80 plus bronze 80 plus silver gold Platinum plutonium I don't want a
plutonium power titanium yeah it's titanium I don't know who cares um so
the point is efficiency became a big thing but now now what it might be all
about and the way 80 plus works is that it's actually there is no rating for how
efficient the power supplyer has to be below 20% load and what's funny is any
thousand watt power supply isn't going to touch 20% load might not even break
10% load with a modern system running a Haswell CPU and the Next Generation
graphics card because they're getting so good at turning down the power at idles
so when you're browsing the web your computer probably doesn't suck 100 Watts
from the wall so all of a sudden Haswell
particularly with its sleep States is going to be much more sensitive to how
the power supply performs at extremely low loads then it's going to be to how
it performs at high loads which is what 80 plus has been all about so I don't
know how this is going to work because right now manufacturers are basically
just putting like a Haswell ready certification on it it was kind of like
the old P4 ready where it had that connector and it had the the beef or
12volt rail because those CPUs were drawing so much power and it was
gamechanging now they're drawing so little power you're going to need a
highquality power supply but not the same way you did before where it's like
massive wattage massive efficiency at high loads you're going to want massive
efficiency and great performance with low Ripple and low noise at very low
power consumption I wonder if this means we're going to see a lot of like maybe
smaller in wattage and size because of
the smaller cases the smaller Ms more passive more passive more smaller in
size more smaller in wattage but very feature power supplies things like what
Corsair is implementing with their axi Series where you've got you know voltage
monitoring and temperature monitoring and more like more like bringing more
value to the power supply as opposed to figuring out how to stuff more watts in
it so to speak yeah I know that's not actually how power works you don't stuff
more watts and something is Boll over there is he like working oh he's
probably on his own workstation that would make way more sense that makes way more sense yeah why did he even set up
diesels I think he had to get some stuff off the computer makes sense see this is
why I pay people to think for me clearly
not capable of it anyway so so there
that's a really interesting about Haswell so even though you have an awesome power supply it may not work
with Haswell so watch out check with your manufacturer make sure it works uh
most of the good manufacturers should have most of their power supplies
working so let's take a moment and do a little bit of Twitter Twitter uh paying
attention this plutonium 1.21
gigawatts um that would be awesome oh my
goodness urb that's probably hilarious oh we're not can't click on we're not
clicking on this that's probably hilarious um I actually don't drink
coffee can you imagine what I'd be like if I drank coffee oh that would be scary
actually I consume no stimulants no energy drinks prob crawl on the roof
like I don't need it no he doesn't I didn't even get that much
sleep last night I'm like uh first time watching from Norway
what are your thoughts on Windows blue we've actually talked about Windows blew a little bit some of the features that
are coming there was a preview that The Verge broke the news about um I'mma take
a sort of wait and see approach you know what normally I'd be upset about this
Sean because that's a cheap shot that is a really cheap shot but um after the
lock out I don't care and 10% of people
know what we're talking about oh hockey hockey so the San Jose Sharks beat the
Vancouver Canucks in four hockey games consecutively meaning that the Vancouver
canx can no longer win the Stanley Cup which is the coveted
prize the it's a jock jock
strap different kind of cup sorry my bad anyway um normally I'd care but I just
didn't yeah just didn't didn't care oh
apparently I really need to read list
Fern's last post on that Haswell compatibility topic so we're going to go
ahead and move down to where he has posted some additional stuff
uh apparently Johnny Guru came on to oc3d told him off for messing up his
name oh no oh wow did you really spell
Johnny Guru like that okay just so you guys know Johnny Guru is the website to
go to for power supply reviews you can come look at our unboxing and we're
going to show you some you know what the cable sleeving quality looks like and
what connectors are on it how long they are in Linus ARM lengths if you want to
know anything about a power supply actually Johnny guru.com they do the
best power supply reviews by are none everything else is basically worthless
compared to what they do you can quote me on that we don't do that's part of
the reason why we don't do why bother like why bother we'll just put it in a
system it'll look cool and we'll talk about how it looks and then and we'll
talk about what we read on Johnny Guru because guys if you want to know
anything about a power supply if Johnny Guru recommended it and it got even like
7 out of 10 or better it's probably safe it's fine buy it had be confident if it
got n out of 10 or 10 out of 10 on Johnny Guru that's Beast one be prepared
to Pony up yeah because I tell you that is a well-built power supply and number
two be confident cuz it's awesome um
okay so anyway sort of back to back to Twitter I would catch a live stream
several times but either I've overslept or had problems with my LA with my
laptop I'm trying I'm trying to scroll down it's I'm having trouble Twitter needs to just calm down um have you
heard about that one keyboard model disappearing lonus no yes well yeah
exactly um loving the stream I think he thought the Ora boros was a keyboard uh
loving the stream tonight guys first time tuning in live hi le guy the guy
Luke whatever your name is uh watching live stream from Kuwait speaking of
Kuwait it was uh crap it was Syria right
Syria has no internet yeah no internet I think it's back now but uh Syria just
disappeared from the internet like which was just bizarre so uh Syria
yeah Middle Eastern country internet went down basically they just like
turned it off and uh everyone was kind of sitting here going like what holy
crap can you imagine so I'm not going to get into the political ramifications of
all that because honestly I am not that well versed in
it and we're not those people yeah um
however what I would like you guys to reflect on is in the last 20 years
basically how pervasive the internet has become in your
life isn't it mindboggling what if the internet was turned off in
your country like my job would just be
impossible I could I couldn't do my job for like male people
DVDs right it's like we yeah we'd have to be we'd have to be uh oh crap what
was that star something what was that DVD service the the mailing uh mail
rental DVD thing oh crap have no idea
what you're talking about I have to look it up it was like it was like something
like club or uh DVD mail uh
rental service or like you had to buy
them or something oh I forget what it was called
no okay hopefully someone can tell me on Twitter maybe it was something something
Club I don't know it was it was an old thing it was It was kind of on the same
level as like AOL CDs where it was like there were always pamphlets for this
stupid thing and I was like anyway that's what Tech tips will become we'll
just we'll mail you the latest unboxings on like a monthly basis no big deal no
no big deal but yeah what would it even what would it even yeah uh oh no way I
don't know I don't know if this is true I don't if this is true but apparently if you go bankrupt in game device tyon
EA buys you I kind of have a feeling I have a feeling that's not true but it
would be hilarious yeah bro do you even ea uh watching L live for the second
time it's 400 a.m. thank you for bearing with us on this uh on this uh here live
stream it's pretty tough RAM for Budget gaming buy whatever SK SK SK uh what
about the steam donation what about a steam donation for lonus Tech tips where
you can test with more recent games honestly what recent games do we not
test with we test a l we test pretty much everything the only things I can
think of I mean we did BioShock Infinite we did Tomb Raider we did uh we jumped
over Far Cry 3 Crisis 3 we jumped over
we're going to do Metro last Light Star Trek Star Trek I know a few people asked
for that but it's not like a hug huge like okay it's pretty big but it's not
it's not on the level of like Bioshock and I have a segue like that sure um so
speaking of Star Trek they tried to do an MMO at one point yeah which is sort
of like wow because every MMO is sort of like wow and wow lost 1.3 million
subscribers in q1 2013 wrap your brain around that wow
lost more subscribers in q1 than most
MMOs will ever get
so they still have a beast amount okay yes they still have 8 million it's down
from the peak of 12 million and I've seen some posts on the Forum actually
this was a uh this was a forum post so I want to make sure that I give credit
where credits do just to interject again quickly have to do this while it's up um
we basically just crashed Johnny Guru oh no it works oh did we really yeah oops
it's still it doesn't fully work some things aren't loading oh there we go
great site when it works takes about four or five minutes fantastic site go
there some other time sorry Johnny sorry
but you're awesome man um and Oklahoma wolf the guy who was doing most of the
reviews when I was reading a lot more on there is awesome too great writing style
very funny uh anyway so I can't find the
thread I'm sorry to whoever posted this thread on the Forum you're awesome and
and I heart you and all that good stuff hopefully someone will find it yeah hopefully someone will find it and tweet
it at you know hash Linus you forgot or something like that hashtag I don't know
man um they just tweet it at you they could but I don't know if everyone will
see it anyway at me and I'll retweet it calm down there's a thread on the Forum
where uh people were saying that it's kind of in between new content right now
um so it might not be indicative of of
sort of you know anything that crazy but think about it this way over the course
of a month them having 1.3 million fewer
subscribers based on if everyone was paying $15 a month would be almost $2
million of Revenue that's basically Prof
when you consider that they have to invest in the infrastructure they have
to invest in the content there's a lot of Dev there's a lot of support there's
a lot of for their 8 million existing
subscribers they already have to do all that crap anyway so that 20 million was
the profit if you think about it that way or it was basically profit because
they they had to do all that other stuff anyway that is huge on the bottom line
of Activision I mean they're basically saying don't worry about it we're still
number one you know it's okay it's cool
but um here are a few things that I wanted to discuss if wow were to stumble would
something just as quickly pop up to take its place as a paid game would something
be able to take its place would people even be willing to pay for an MMO
anymore I wish would they be I I would
personally I oh I don't like pay to play
I'm very very against pay to play because almost every single pay to
playay system no matter how you look at it has at least a little bit of Pay to
Win It might not be that much it so
you're talking about microtransactions versus subscription based okay oh sorry
you probably should have said that because wow is sort of pay to play as well definitely it's of course it's
definitely pay to play so microtransactions worse than than
subscription based subcription personally I don't mind subscription base everyone's on equal playing field
no matter what okay that's true always
like like doesn't matter um and everything you get in the game is earned
the same way that everyone else would earn it yes okay um with
microtransactions no matter to what scale unless it is only cosmetic and
even with only cos something like League of Legends is largely cosmetic but you
can still unlock Champions with in certain game roads like uh the new Aram
game mode that they came up with can make things better for you because if
there are clearly better setups of teams in Aram and you don't get to pick your
Champion it's all random all mid so you get randomed a champion so if you're
just the free week Champions you had a disadvantage comp compared to people
that have specifically really good Champions on aand right okay and people
will come at me and be like that's not the main game mode all that kind of stuff doesn't matter a ton of people
play it right it's still is competitive
and all that kind of stuff still competitive even though it's not competitive on a tournament level it's
still competitive when you're just playing with your buddies um Okay blah
blah blah so so paying to enhance the enjoyment experience okay so so riddle
me this then after wow basically sort of
perfected it so to speak is there really any Innovation left in
MMO because you've got Eve as sort of your your hardcore MMO you've got World
of Warcraft as sort of your accessible MMO you've got all these skeletons so
many Age Of Conan look how long Star Wars the Old Republic was was
subscription based what was it like few months
I mean is there is is not so much is there any Innovation left because I
think there's Innovation left and I think part of the problem with MMOs is
that they're not innovating I think Star Citizen might be a way for pretty stoked
for Star CI might be a way for um Chris
Roberts to really show that there's still room for a massively multiplayer
experience to innovate and be different but is it because they're all wild
clones and are studi is going to be
willing to invest what it would take to design a new from the round from the
ground up to replace wow if it faltered
before I before I comment on that I want to interject this is completely different conversation so I don't really
want to go into it but I hate the I hate the term wild clone but that's a
completely different topic anyways I don't really think so I think Studios
will drop a bunch of money ESO is dropping a whole bunch of money but I
don't um at the same time people complaining about the potential Graphics
problems so they might not have dropped the amount of money that they should
have we won't know until we get open Beta realistically have to have a look
at that um but like everything else to be able to and if it's Elder scolls you
think it'll be modable at All Tex probably not textures I don't
know um but I know there will be add-ons available okay okay so anyway sorry car
on anyways don't want to get too much into that um I don't think it'll happen
not on the scale that wow was because if you look at the timeline for MMO
releases wow was perfect right um Ultima
and EQ were old right there was nothing else really
really big on the table wow dropped everyone that was tired of ultimate EQ
because it was really old moved to wow and then they just crushed it it was a
big enough pool of people that when new things came out at the beginning it
didn't matter because all your friends played wow and you wanted to play with
your friends so everyone went and played wow they exploded they were massive and
that was taking forever them for them to die because it's still um depending on
your play style a good game there's still a lot of people that play it I don't like it anymore there's still 8
million people that play there's a ton of people that play it I liked uh
classic Wow way more but okay I don't think it'll happen because to create
that again there's so many MMOs that are coming out all the time right you can't
hit that time so we might end up with a more fragmented type of Market I don't
think it's going to be the massive one game experience that it basically was
when Wow first came out right so then it might be more like a cyclical thing
because you look at some like okay let's look at anything let's look at uh the
development of the graphics Processing Unit when it started there was one yeah
then there was a couple then everyone in their dog got in and then there was then
it reconsolidated so maybe we're so so
at the beginning there was really only a couple yeah okay and then there was the
one dominant one for a long time then maybe it's time for the end of that I
mean but well it's it's the end of the one dominant one it then it spread out
like crazy so basic you could actually couple in the the very few that were at
the beginning and the one dominant one probably into the same bracket right into the same sort of because not many
yeah and then success tons and then too
many so it Narrows back down that's actually a really that might actually
happen so many things are like that I mean it's been done Time and Time and
Time and Time and Time Again by the way that was actually Kilmer that posted the
wow thing oh okay Kilmer was a was a mod
on our forum and he has stepped down because he just doesn't have time which
is that's cool that's cool we totally get it yeah yeah uh blizzard is busy
with a new MMO called Titan should be a Round Up game if there's anyone who can
do it again it'll be blizzard but there's also going to be so
much more scrutiny on it oh my goodness with that said blizzard has shown their
committed to fixing stuff y yeah Dia 3 is apparently a much better experience
than it was I've heard that as well I haven't actually stepped back and played it but I've definitely heard that from
not a small grouping of people and like Titan like you just said scrutiny that
thing will be combed with like a brick
people talk about fine combed with a brick people talk about F what does that
mean like everything will be looked at combed with a brick yeah okay that's
fine tooth comb that's a quotable moment this is beyond somebody mean this please
him trying to explain combed with a brick to me that's the stupidest thing
you've ever said comb there's fine tooth comb this is way beyond that so it's
just a brick brick tooth comb
yeah you're fired n no you're fired for
that NP um just got got to say lonus from now on
you got to be careful when you tell half a million people about a website well
he's a little bit exaggerating I think we're at around 3500 by the way thank
you so much guys we are overwhelmed that there are so many people tuning into the
live stream you guys all rock that is huge I mean uh I was marveling the other
day you were showing me Day N stream where he had what about 12K people
watching or something like that I don't remember what he end I think it was like 10.5 10.5 and I was just like you know
what I feel huge just when a third as many people as Day
N tune in to watch me so aast I felt pretty cool about that I know we're not
asking for as much of a time commitment as him and we don't stream as much as
him and all that kind of stuff but I still felt cool like cool shades where
are the cool shades cool shades cool shades can you reach them your arms are longer than mine yes okay I'm going to
wear the cool shades for the rest of the stream that you broke I didn't fully
break them these are my glasses uh I was
wearing them in some video where we're standing there jumping and he's wearing his boots and they we never ended up
releasing the segment either no we should release it just as like a a DVD
like behind the scenes I got bumped in the face and they fell off my face and
between under his Boot and now they now they I think I knocked them off your
face yes yeah I was I was saving face that thank you we just said face a lot
yeah your face um one of my mods just
brought up a good thing Day Z that kind of happened with Daisy there was one and
it was like everyone make a Zombie Survival game
and now it's kind of caling back down again coming back down to just a few that survived
survived I can't take you seriously when your glasses are so off the zombie game
Zombie Apocalypse at what point do games that
were dead come back from the dead and steal back the
title I actually can't take you seriously I don't know if it looks it
doesn't look as bad in the feed it looks ridiculous when he's when I look at them
head on it's probably worse I think it's the angle that helps a little bit it
seems like it could be anyway why don't we just uh why don't we just why don't
just sort of get back to Twitter here um any good gaming headsets and mice to buy
that are around 60 to 80 bucks lots of good mice uh Razer Death Adder 2013
edition 6,400 DPI Optical gaming mouse great rubber grips on the sides um
that's on at NCIX for $59.99 it's either $59.99 or $699 I think 59.99 as for
gaming headsets honestly you can get a Siberia V2 for that price it's comfy
it's lightweight it sounds okay gaming headsets really aren't the way to go if
you want a great audio experience with the exception of the steel series 7h and
some of sennheiser's higher end stuff but you're not going to get any of those things for $60 to 80 so or if you have a
big head yeah or if you have a big head because the Sennheiser 7h is not good
for people with big heads um okay so frostbite says he
thinks Guild Wars 2 does MMO the best you can buy the game for a price um my I
haven't played Guild Wars 2 but my brother loves Guild Wars 2 he plays it
casually um and he finds the experience is just you jump in and you can just
kind of go around and do whatever you want and it's it's he finds it like
relaxing and nice instead of like just
the oh my God everything's going on all the time blood pack says don't even
complain about lack of innovation if you didn't even try the secret world which I
did not so we just got told also didn't we just got told Guild Wars 1 apparently
had four million active users at one time um this was Johnny's fourth post
since he registered back in 2010 wow pwned so hard electronic mass
production buys you I think it's supposed to be EA apparently in that game oh okay so back to news items we
have a ton this week paid YouTube
subscriptions they be here so this was
posted by speedstack 79 he didn't really give us any sort of an editorial on it
but uh there you go so you can check out the paid channels there's prices ranging
from a dollar to sort of just under $10
and sort of anything in between um I'd like to say one thing at the
beginning here and hopefully you guys can take me seriously in spite of these
glasses lonus Tech tips will never be a
paid channel so there you go Written in Blood
as far as I'm concerned unless YouTube forces everyone to take paid
subscriptions which I really don't see happen oh that um because I'm sure we
can be ad supported as long as we need to be ad supported Linus techtips will
not be a paid Channel we will always continue to try to take money from
corporate sponsors as much as we can to make the channel possible to pay the
salaries of the people involved um I mean honestly we prefer it that way we'd
be willing to do something like a tip jar or a Bitcoin mining pool or even
things like kickstarters if we need equipment or we want to do something really special and we think you guys
will benefit but we are not going to do
paid subscriptions we might do things like um special tags on the forum for
contributors all these things but you will always have access to the content
online as Tech tips no question a public
resource yes cons we consider it like I
mean we're we're doing a service to everyone the way we look at it we're doing a service to the manufacturer by
showcasing their product to people we're doing a service to the viewer by
showcasing the cool new products that we can get our hands on and show you guys
um so the way we see it is everyone benefits if as many people watch it as
possible and that has always been the philosophy of Linus Tech tips so there
you go
go and try okay if you're posting something in new section try to put a
little bit of your own input in on it please please please input something
it's helpful um so here we go Mr crisis
2000 submitted this one about the Galaxy
S4 zoom and you know what's hilarious is
I predicted this one yep bam I actually
well I don't know if I predicted it cuz I didn't think anyone would make it no
but what I said was the the only problem with Samsung's Galaxy camera which is
basically just an Android powered camera is that it doesn't have a cell phone in it they had to add such little stuff to
it to make it a cell phone yeah and I was like cuz it already had a persistent
data connection you could put a SIM in it but it just didn't have the calling
hardware and I wonder if it was in there and they just didn't enable it like
seriously oh oh people want this okay on yeah on um but I mean think about this
guys if you're a Shutterbug or a blogger would you rather have a slim phone that
doesn't take that great pictures I mean this one does okay this is the one and
honestly the S4 does okay but it'll always be limited by the size of the
Optics you can put in the bump the distance the size of the sensor you can
put in all those things would you rather have a slim phone that takes kind of
shoddy pictures or would you rather have a camera that also acts as a phone not
everyone's on their phone all the time and it's got a nice big screen on the
back just like the Galaxy camera um so yeah guys Post in this thread in the
form because apparently our site can take the heat what's up Johnny um so 16 megapixel
camera with a phone built in word on the street is Samsung something something
blah blah blah okay has an Amo LED
screen Android Jelly Bean 8 gigs memory Bluetooth 4.0 uh speculation something
something something etc etc etc do you guys think this is a cool idea you know
what I'd like to take let's let's talk to the twitch chat one quick thing it's
a wretched Hive of G and villainy but I love it that way uh blunty 3000 an
Australian camera viewer um said that its battery life is not very good
scaling around three
hours Samsung why you do these things to
me
I it would be nice someone says in twitch chat your glasses are messed up
uh sorry go ahead yeah um
wow you could be able to throw I do want to do this so talk quickly if you're
gonna say something because I want to start talking about twitch chat okay
talk about twitch chat oh okay yeah so okay guys so what do you think lus fix
your glasses i' prefer the phone take off those glasses give me a shout out to
moppers or something along those lines more memes uh MMO never winter okay I
something something I prefer the thick phone with aggressive battery that's
another one we've talked about maybe not even a great camera or maybe you could
put a better camera in if you had a thicker you should be able to um unbox
the corser 350d we have actually done that it's sitting over there unboxed I
just have to upload it uh NC website looks like a child designed it you know
what one of my friends actually uh used to be my boss now we're more friends he
doesn't work there any more design that website and back when it was designed it was not bad uh prefer a phone not and a
separate camera okay fair enough uh the
twitch chat exploded okay someone's saying put it on slow I prefer the
camera but not without battery life okay so there you go we took some feedback
from twitch chat today thank you very much guys so let's go back to our okay
what were you going to say I just I wanted to talk to them before they it's
cool that you can at least throw a Sim INE now and talk on the thing but the
battery life is so low that is problem
is is problem is problem although with portable battery packs if you're hauled
that around you probably have some sort of a bag right you could charge it up
with a portable battery pack so this right here was submitted by back grund
thank you very much much for this awesome submission back grund ASRock is
apparently planning to release water resistant motherboards in their OC
formula series associated with the Intel Haswell release what do you think about
this is waterproof motherboards the future for water cooling guys or will it
be just a new gimmick background I got to you know what I got to give you
credit for giving some some feedback on the topic but I think you got it kind of
wrong here unfortunately what this is going to be great for is Subzero Cooling
not water cooling when it comes to water cooling the danger is not so much to the
motherboard because usually by the time you're leak testing your motherboard is
vertical and is unlikely to be spilled on the danger is usually to your
graphics card or your power supply getting water dripping into it and it
can sit there and cause problems by sitting there big problems because
distilled water is not inherently conductive but once it sits and gets
some soldering flux in it or some metal
ion that's when you run into trouble what this is great for is guys who are
doing Subzero overclocking where condensation can be a big issue and
insulating boards perfectly can be a big
difference between that modded board that the overclocker spent hours yeah
getting working just right like even days getting working just right working
and then dying because one little bit of water
got in there condensation boom dead so
that's really cool um having it be water resistant for extreme overclocking I
mean also for extremely humid environments would this be a benefit I
don't know it must I know that's a problem maybe I think so maybe I don't
know I guess if you spilled your you put so many so many cases have mesh tops you
knock your drink over they I have two friends that I know that have done that
they're pouring a can of cola on it in the uh in the picture here but guys just
because it's waterproof does not mean it's Cola proof no so people are still
in the twitch chat there's like Linus's glasses are crooked yeah I know um um
and the other really cool thing about this board is HDM my
input holy freaking crap how cool is
that it is actually pretty Beast because some consoles notably the Xbox 360 and
um you know game streamers are able to to utilize this as well do not have DRM
so if you had an HDMI input right on your board you know know much a capture
card costs like a hundred bucks if you had an HDMI input on your board you
could actually capture from an external Source I don't know if this is what
they're intending to use it for but that would make this board
more gaming optimized than any gaming branded board I've ever seen huh yeah I
know that's awesome I mean better audio actually I I stand by that better
Network solution those are good but I'd probably put a sound card in anyway so
for me with so many people game streaming these days I'd say putting an
HDMI input on your board is a cool way to make it gaming optimized yeah I'm
sure twitch is pretty stoked that great features for the overclockers great
features for the gamers very cool board with that said as rock is still not
really on my list of motherboard manufacturers that I pay too close
attention to but if they keep doing cool stuff like this that might turn 360
Degrees just kidding guys 180 if you weren't in the live stream
earlier you won't get the joke so just calm down I know it's not 360 um this is
kind of gross it's very gross this is actually super gross but uh alexb on
Twitter submitted this to me the uh the ultimate Canadian computer and I really
hope that Canada is not about Taxidermy beavers with computers inside them but
it's an ITX build very old like crappy
components with a Taxidermy Beaver yes
that is a real beaver with a fan in the
back um let me see if I can skip to the
spot where it's there there's the io
accessible through like a flap there's the beaver sitting on a desk is that not
the scariest thing you guys have ever seen with this Beaver sitting next to
the monitor here holy freaking smoly anyway I'm
pretty sure this is an older thing but I just I hadn't seen it before so uh
apparently the beaver pick was posted on Reddit a couple days ago so it's probably where they saw it but yeah just
like the most bizarre thing ever we have almost 3,600 live viewers wow and they
all unfortunately had to just see that yeah I'm sorry guys you know what we
probably just shouldn't have done that slick told me not to do it but I did I
was like like yeah all right so it's time to take another shot at EA oh no
this is the biggest one oh oh no oh this is not good the Walt
Disney Company in EA announced multi-year Star Wars games
agreement submitted by PC explosion I believe was the first one to submit this
on the for come on like I I will forgive so many things if you don't screw this
up like please don't screw this up come
on if anyone from EA is watching just
come on that got him take the glasses off no I'm putting them back on it's
okay but temporarily got him to take the glasses off it's like come on don't
screw this up not only that but it's exclusive so the odds of me getting like
a remade TIE fighter anytime in the multi-year deal not going to happen mind
you EA is sort of the Masters of remaking things yeah that's true they might actually happen maybe if I get a
remade TIE fighter of this EA employees who are watching I will be super stoked
that isn't like oh yeah to buy to buy another like ship you need to
microtransaction yeah um oh you don't
have Luke Skywalker content pay $15 yeah
okay okay maybe be careful what you wish for I guess because I could I could end
up with my game but broke yeah exactly so cuz you're going to buy everything
$700 additional no I know if someone asked me to spend $500 on a TIE fighter
remake with modern Graphics but just the exact game maybe throw in multiplayer
okay I pay $500 for single player alone I'd pay a grand for
multiplayer like for my own personal copy knowing him not even slightly
surprised it could probably go higher you know I can't afford it you'd probably still do it if it went higher
you know I can't afford it you'd probably sell your bike but I'd do it I
would do it like I would do it just for TIE fighter just for TIE fighter and if
if they threw in the X-Wing campaign too oh and like they've got some of
their better Publishers behind it I mean imagine if they got James Earl Jones to
come in and do the Darth Vader voice
oh that would be Beast yeah I'm going to have to go change my pants um so anyway
under the deal it's exclusive except for
a few like lame casual platforms like tablet games or kids games uh it looks
like the devs who are going to be working on it are actually I wrote this
down in my thing visceral Dice and BioWare yeah will be deving the game so
this is the lesser of all evils as far as things look EA is making a big deal
out of how some new Star Wars game is going to use Frostbite 3 who cares as if
the engine ever made the game TIE fighter is one of the greatest games ever it looks like ass it doesn't hurt
but it doesn't hurt but but still it's not like I'm looking at it going wow
when Darth Vader cut off Luke Skywalker's hands I could really see the
blood spur you can even see any blood in the movie that doesn't make it not a
great movie so there's my whole thing uh I
anyway so I was willing to give Disney the benefit of the doubt on the whole
acquisition as far as movies are going I was actually willing to give them the
benefit of the doubt on closing down Lucas Arts like I was like okay if they
find some great Deads to do this maybe they can rejuvenate it but come on this
is not oh I I would like beg on hands
and knees for EA not to screw this up
yeah like just it do it right now okay
okay okay okay EA employees who are watching here we can we can kneel on the
chairs I think it's my chair's spinning I'm going okay okay okay so okay we're
sort of kneeling EA we please don't
screw this up please don't screw this do not screw this up
please oh my goodness and like are they even going to
release 13313 which is like probably close to
done I don't know oh I'm so worried for how this is
how many people are tuned in right now oh well we started hitting on EA all the
EA employees left so there were 40 of them watching hopefully they don't get
fired okay our last topics before we do our build Glo build glogs Globs build
blogs of the week is uh you know I have
a lot of potential sponsors this was submitted by Joel the zombie 15 uh this
was actually a while ago I meant to talk about this uh this last week I think but
um a lot of sponsors have sort of asked me how many likes I have on Facebook and
sort of things like that I've never done a like like like me on Facebook to win
I've never done anything like that I've never really pushed Facebook to me Facebook is one of those things where
most of the content on there is stuff that I share that people send to me on
Facebook things like builds or like cool pictures or funny things that I think
are funny um uh most of my Twitter
content goes on there all my Instagram content goes to Twitter which then goes
to Facebook so what Facebook is really is it's for people who are on Facebook
anyway don't feel like following on Twitter don't feel like subscribing on
YouTube but still want to have a way to get access to the content whatever it is
that I'm talking about so that to me Facebook is like my like like quary
priority out of everything that I do um
but that a word a lot of people won't get I'm still gonna sorry uh so it's so
it's primary secondary tertiary quinary fourth priority um so but I'm going to
support it just because I know some people prefer it which is great but uh
this is this is really funny so what's a Facebook like worth because I I get
questioned by sponsor why don't you have a lot of likes on Facebook you're huge
on YouTube you've got a big Twitter following you've got all these things
why why are you so small on Facebook and I go well because a Facebook life
doesn't really mean anything it's been cheapened to the point where what does
it even do so UNICEF has launched a bold
advertising campaign that takes direct aim at perhaps the most ubiquitous form
of online activism the Facebook like I
like you know people against animals being tortured I mean that's that's
great you know you know what I'm against animals being tortured too and I'm going to go ahead I'm going to say that but uh
late last month UNICEF Sweden released three commercials that urge viewers to
support humanitarian Aid not through posts or shares on social media but
through monetary donations Facebook likes do not save
lives they do not save animals they do not save the environment they do not do
anything technically it's an x amount of data so the only thing it could possibly
do is hurt the environment that's true a hard drive had to be like installed hard
drive had to be created data had to travel along
paths energy was consumed so something happened somewhere
yeah so anyway there you go we are we
are disappointed that anyone ever thought that Facebook likes actually did
anything positive I mean the kinds of things I like on Facebook are things
like my local badminton crew yeah it's
like because that way when they're trying to attract a sponsor for their
tournament or whatever they might have more lik or something they have more likes which they can show them and and
so there's that but at the at the end of the day like a like has become so
meaningless because everyone has turned it into just giving crap away for likes
which I've done a couple times on Twitter and I've done a couple times on
YouTube so follow to have a chance to win subscribe to have a chance to win
but I think the point of those ones is the ongoing dialogue I don't use Twitter
as just a way to sell Tech tips to a
sponsor I don't need it we have
350,000 subscribers on YouTube on one
channel alone already we have grown Techquickie in the last 3 months to 50,000
subscribers which is bigger than most YouTube channels will ever be we're
really good at video I don't need to sell subscribers the things I like about
social media are the two-way dialogue YouTube comments are a very difficult
way for me to interact with you guys whereas Twitter is great for live I'm
able to read your tweets in real time almost um live streaming is great for
interaction Facebook is okay for interaction I don't like that it's not
real time I mean what what's great about Twitter is if people tweet me and I'm
like laying in bed and I can't sleep I can be like yeah I can reply to some tweets it's cool it's interactive
whereas if Facebook likes and and and Twitter shares and whatever whatever
crap it all is is is just a way for me to like pump myself up and beef myself
up and make myself look good then it's completely lost the point and that's
what a lot of these activists that are sitting at their computers so of
flicking through their feed going like oh yeah baby photos baby photos oh well
I don't like starving monkeys come on guys anyway there you go
it's like new age chain mails apparently people want lonus social media tips
believe it or not I'm reasonably good at it so I I would be happy to give you
guys some social media tips if you're really that into it uh build logs of the
week here is you know what we're going to start with our legendary one there
was a thread in the Forum last week complaining that we do too much
legendary build less so we're starting with it so we're starting with the
legendary one haha anyway I'm going to let slick handle this so this is scroll
down function down in order to think you think you can handle this and we're
showing them it this time which is great I'm going to go get a drink of water do
you want one uh sure I've been talking a lot I'm like my throat is parched you're
really energetic today oh I'm tired actually we're going to take it slow now
that he's gone slow and relaxed this is Tech tips
radio this is Tech tips FM we're going to take this exactly at the speed you
want it all
right so this is another build by SNF SNF is actually pretty kind of insane um
I think we featured one of his builds before his stuff is just absolutely epic
so we're just going to go through some pictures here this I do not think is how it ended up pretty sure he water cooled
it but we will see ah there we go so
you've got a sabertooth um ASUS board
normally comes in brown he doesn't care
so he took the armor off from the top he's painting it here my goodness I
can't control this little tiny keyboard like lus does my hands are way too big
for this let's go up here so you can actually see it ah this doesn't work I'm
sorry everyone this keyboard is impossible for me to use um so he's
painting everything like a like a egg Shelly white I'm terrible with colors
that might not be accurate it's some form of white and it looks really good
you can see um Reservoir Clips right
there oh I'm so excited this looks so
good I'm trying to go through slowly but it looks amazing white F
Jeweler ns are awesome just look at that
like aren't you just if you haven't seen this yet if aren you just excited like
you know this is going to look amazing it looks so just Icy Blue Angel I don't
even know how else to describe it just such a nice colored white coming out
here coloring the fans is a dangerous and B old move but hopefully it turned
out well here's his Reservoir xspc radiator sorry for that
jump I'm not very good at controlling this uh keyboard which has a track ball
on it here he's just showing off a lot of
his tubings and fittings and stuff he always picks like oh snap's builds are
always insanely baller thank you I just got water on
both of our laptops and all over my leg
no that's P oh what horrible you'd think you'd be used
to it by now where are the here we go
here's the completed pictures just absolutely beasts like we
expect from SNF wow just absolutely Beast holy crap that's beautiful yep you
missed the like nice in progress shots you came in right as we got to the
completed shot wow SNF we featured him before his builds are topnotch like this
is crazy that is outstanding I love it
painted Sabertooth painted rad other more
different painted rad that tubing Arrangement you know what it's funny
because the more perfect it is the more you notice the mistakes see it's not
quite a right angle on the top of the front rad oh he off by a little bit but it's
you know what it's one of those things where it's like it's easier to see the flaw because the rest of it is so
perfect I love it let's go down a little bit and also that that that power supply
needs to have the colors swapped on the TX and the m
wow look at that fluid just so nice is that the um crap
what is it called I don't remember but I know the stuff you're talking about you know what I'm talking about yeah
yeah man that looks good and I like the
um only slightly blue uh sleeping on the cables yeah it would have been nice to
see it go all the way to the power supply you got to point with the arrow not point with the uh finger there oh
right so it means the the black Cable's coming out of the power supply itself
like it looks like it was a little bit phoned in there I wonder if he's using extensions and just hiding the cables in
the back I think so that way you know what you could do a build like this reasonably quickly if you did that this
wouldn't even take that long mask off your radiators paint them you still have
to do you can tell he planned this out like crazy because of his tubing runs
and the yes planning wise but if you were to look at his build get a parts
list and execute it you could probably do it without that much difficulty yeah
cool very cool oh that looks
good that's a really nice case too
wow and now with LED
huh just the gets more and more
pornographic as we go man and those fans look
amazing huh those are specters right y
Spectre Pros y just so nice I'm going a little bit
faster now because we've seen a lot of this already so so so nice I'm starting to
notice that power supply more yeah I know right just cuz the rest of it
perfect oh he's got like a proper proper setup oh yeah I mean you know what
honestly is he using a monitor to light it up half of what's oh I don't know
that's fantastic I think that's a monitor that's awesome um half of half
of like nice builds a lot of the time is
photography like I've seen Builds on million dooll PC that quite frankly
aren't really anything special and if you looked at them in person you really
wouldn't be that impressed right but but
when you uh when you take great pictures with the gorgeous depth of field and
perfect lighting are you going to go to the next build blog at some
point when you uh when you take great pictures of them with like gorgeous
depth of field and perfect lighting then they look
amazing um so we're wow we're almost done the live stream we've just got one
more build log to go and guys we are going to be doing a Mario World
Afterparty again now there's it's going to take us a little while to get it set
up but we are we're ready this time we
have a CRT for us and we're actually going to be using a different streaming
setup let me know when you're ready to go we're going to be using a different you're ready whenever okay I'll talk
about this after go for it uh oh oh what scene is it uh scene yeah there you go
there we go all right we're going again with kind of the White theme sorry about
that building up Essence STX right off the bat just o o love Ence STX and it
looks great really nice pictures again but we're just getting started um you'll
see something as he takes off the the back plate you'll see where this is
going pretty soon I'm going to skip through some of the more just general
shots there beautiful love back plate
just so Beast again I know white build maybe next week we'll try and make sure
that we don't have any more white builds but that seems to be flavor of the month
right now and just so you guys know it's not going to affect performance back
plate doesn't really contribute anything to card cooling we're talking maybe a
degree or two yeah like maybe
maybe um so it looks amazing that swag
coming down into it D showing more parts blah blah blah blah blah you can use
page down as well I know but it jumps too fast I find right okay I guess we
want people to be able to follow along yeah my thumb's so freaking big that I
can't believe we have more than 3,500 viewers this week you guys rock that's
awesome are those gellet yes believe so
uh yeah GED fans guys silent TW they're awesome okay keep going um and then he
wrapped as far as I can tell he wrapped didn't actually put his own tubing on
but he wrapped it yep so it looks really good huh like it still looks awesome
that's really smart yeah yeah it's brilliant cuz it looks great but then it
like right but it yeah so there's a lot
of like Nifty Things with this build that I really appreciated so with those
two small little things I guess h100 is
not in yet but with those two small little things once we get down to it like
there fairly minor changes he he added
the like not actual tubing point with the mouse pointer not your finger okay
I'm I'm trying to keep it locked on the anyways so he wrapped the tubing sorry I
jumped um which like looks really good
and it's not a crazy crazy thing to do he painted the back plate which is again
not a crazy crazy thing to do but looks really sharp two things that most people
wouldn't do but he thought of I like the little blue accents on the motherboard
with the rest of the build being otherwise black and white it looks really sharp yeah yeah coming down to it
Cable Management on the box backs nothing special this is a very attainable build yep so just it just
looks awesome is that a 650 TI
6 no the second 6 oh 660 yeah sorry I
can't see through these awesome glasses they're amazing there you go that should
be easy to read gorgeous yeah so awesome build again
kind of white and blue so they're both pretty similar in that aspect but they
were both really good builds so I didn't want to skip one nice keyboard yeah goes
along with the build that's one thing that's really cool too is when people syn out their entire build mhm so
everything works together it's like all your peripherals all your your case your
inside lighting everything all works together it's really cool all right so guys we will be back
in uh probably it's going to take us about 10 or 15 minutes because we've got
a new streaming setup for our our Mario
Afterparty um which will hopefully help slick not perform so abysmally well
probably terrible but awful but last week was that was awful and I have a USB
to SNES adapter in the mail so we're going to be switching to SNES
controllers hopefully next week or the week after um but we're using an a media
live gamer portable now on a notebook
then we have another more different notebook that is going to be outputting
to wait hold on okay so the live gamer portable is on this one which will be
the streaming machine then the other notebook is outputting to the CRT
because it has VGA out and it has HDMI
out so then it is outputting to the live game reportable which is running on the
other computer that is actually doing the streaming so oh yeah the special
guest moved to next week great question I should have covered that before um so
Steve doto will be joining us next week
uh oh yeah I probably should have told you that no I got the email you did oh
oh I sent you an email yeah like first time ever actual proper communication
happened yeah all right brilliant um so so anyway it'll take us a little while
to set it up guys stay tuned we will be
back and thank you for checking out the line's Tech tips live stream all 346 of
you that are left that wanted to listen to me do this like lead out thing and
for those of you who are still here I will remove my sunglasses because they are absolutely redonkulous more than one
person with o OCD was like oh God please take them
