hello hi and welcome to the W show hi
this is lonus I'm Luke nice to meet you guys I know this is the first time we
have ever met um but you know it's good
to make you're going to meet a lot new people a lot of new people in the
Christmas season sometimes it's newborns sometimes it's a new like friend of you
know friend of someone in the family that's coming to the greeting I didn't M
my laptop but that's fine I know you guys
don't know us but what we're going to do is we're going to recap everything that
happened this year so you guys can get to know us I'm going to have everything
everything everything not everything okay not everything at all we're going
to recap the fun things or the Terrible Things or the important things in
general that happened this year and I'm going to drop that thing for now I'm
going to stay with you guys throughout the show and we're going to cycle through lineus media group members and
they're going to talk about all the important things that they did this year
things I thought was super dope things I thought was super crap uh things that
were hard things that were easy whatever
okay yeah I think that's a show what was
yeah we're yeah
start okay we have a
nom learn things and Dollar Shave Club
clean up for your family that you're going to go visit on Christmas man yeah
you should probably do that I I'm yeah I need to get haircut too I need to go do
like both those things I got a haircut those places are probably closed
probably whatever yeah I went to our hairdressers and they were like where's
your friend oh yeah and I was like oh his hair is really long now yeah his
hair is really long anyways so what was what was the I think
I know this answer what was the worst thing that happened this year for you I
think I know this answer you do I think so uh I can say what I think it is yeah
the prank which one the office robbery
prank I mean okay that wasn't even that bad because
we had like I was just disheartened from that
because the night before Oh the title's wrong oh goodness okay where do we
change that I'm not logged in as him uh one sec one sec brutal we'll change the
title anyways for people that don't know about the office robbery prank it was on
Channel Super Fun um the first prank
that happened was a bunch of guys in the office pranked lonus to try to make him
think that he was going to miss a really important flight um and it was horrible
so lonus and I mainly lonus definitely
mainly lonus but lonus and I got everyone back back by making people
think that the office had been robbed and then that turned
into um us what are we
creative uh I think we're a talk
show
okay um yeah so yeah people freaked out and
yeah anyways now you're up um we had released the like here's our crazy new
uh new security system thing the night before and in the beginning of that
lonus was like our old one was laughable
it's terrible like blah blah blah and
then I think we had like a work function that night and I went to him I like
brought him I was like I think this is a really bad idea like there's still going
to be like a number of days before we move out like and then uh and like some
people did know our address for sure at that point yeah
but then we went in the next day and everything was rans sacked and robbed
and I was one of my favorite Parts in the video is like everyone's running
around screaming freaking out and then Nick's in his office just
like yeah just every everyone was like
high level of like anger burkel basically killed someone uh like people
were freaking out and then Nick is just like I'm depressed I was like I tried to
stop this yeah I tried tried I tried I
did everything I could so so what other
important stuff happened I don't know like there's so much stuff that on my
side that I can't really like talk about which is the tough part yeah but like
that's fair just getting collaborations on a lot of really big videos was
probably a really important part like doing the two Gamers one CPU with Cooler
Master yeah um there's that thing that's
coming out in Under 12 hours yeah the thing that was really largely people on
YouTube see it it will have come out 24
hours ago so go see the last release on
the channel if you want to know what we're talking about oh good but these
people it's a the live viewers it's a teaser yeah so it's a thing it's a thing
and it's colorful and it's really interesting I think Ed posted a teaser
of like the intro screen on his Twitter
that makes sense it said something like Merry Christmas or something so I think that's Ed Yago
Yago edag Ed Yago Edo one of those um
but yeah stuff like that um getting like
dbrand on scrapyard Wars debrand or some guys like what the hell have you guys
done you're 27 hours early yeah yeah
it's more as Christmas dude yeah debrand on scrapyard Wars was sick D Brand's
awesome scrapyard Wars also awesome dbr put those two together awesome
dbrand my phone like blew up in my pocket so now I have a new one I guess
yeah you got the Z5 premium Z5 premium um I'm trying to think of what the other
like really important Ultra ride Festival Ultra ride Festival is really
really cool if you guys want to see um Ryland our Winner's uh actual setup uh
go over to Linus's Twitter uh because I
actually just shared ryland's video from Linus's Twitter um it's really cool lots
of good stuff you guys probably already saw the build yeah probably which is
insane with the uh the best SLI setup
ever that was honestly one of my favorite moments of the year was
watching Linus's face as he's just like you shouldn't buy the blah blah blah
it's stupid and then he just looks down he's
like and he's literally speechless for
like 5 seconds and he's like
no no it was just it was such a genuine
moment so brutal I actually quite enjoyed that what about you man like
what were your favorite projects the year I'm sure Fallout bomb is up there
the bomb like hands down the Fallout bomb was by far my favorite project um
that made me super excited one thing that I've talked about fairly publicly
is that while I and everyone probably
watching and some of the people that work here not necessarily everyone uh I
love computer hardware it's great but it
kind of got a little slow in the last year or two um things are really
predictable everything think's 10% faster if it's in
the price range it's like oh it's going to run that fast cool um but we're all
creative people we like doing fun things and inspired by the PC build log section
of the Forum where people do crazy crap all the time I started to realize that
uh everything's really fast and that's cool but the really fun part about
computer modding is actually just the modding um
so doing the bomb like re-inspired me to
love computer hardware again which was actually really cool that's a pretty big
St seriously though it did because like putting the Nano in there the whole time
I'm just like man this is so sick like when the Nano first came out I was like
yeah it's a short Graphics Cardy you were like one of the only people that
was like there are really cool situations for this everyone else was
just like eh yeah yeah and but then even then I was like I would never buy one
but there's really cool situations for it and then I had the bomb and I was like this is the best card right now
feel was like nothing would be better in this situation this is exactly what I
need and then the fact that like processors are running at lower
temperatures I didn't even care that much but then when it's in the bomb I'm
like this is really important now so like I don't know I I it made me care a
lot more about having low draw and everything so you could actually fit
like a 450 W power supply in there and like have it run the whole system and
having power spides that are that small be like solid gold 80 plus uh 450 w
power supplies is like okay that's pretty sick um yeah I don't know that
was that was I very very much liked the bomb um I think my favorite part of 2015
has been the like rebirth and Resurgence
of Channel Super Fun yeah cuz it's been
going crazy especially in like the summer and I think that might be like a
seasonal thing like I think people might be a little bit more interested yeah
there's a lot more a lot more clickable stuff I think they came up in the summer but like doing stuff like rocket league
in real life rocket league in real life was amazing who gets to do that yeah
like it's it's so ridiculous swag
jousting so ridiculous um the one that came out on
vessel last night so vessel people should be over if you should have
watched it already yeah if you haven't you should definitely watch it should
should we just say what it is sure yeah the the Star Wars one it's a Star Wars
custom made lightsaber yeah DIY lightsabers under $25 bomb cost so yeah
and there's like there's really sick special effect
Stu I see Burl's actually watching it on his computer now yeah he is that's
that's awesome but I really really enjoyed that video and Channel Super Fun
is probably my favorite Channel right now um I'm going to say something a
little bit weird I don't really watch our L detectives videos on vessel much I
watch every single one of our Channel Super Fun videos like within an hour of
it coming out on vessel every single time I can't wait yeah that's not even a
shill thing like I literally do that um that's just the channel being awesome
yeah yeah but yeah it's been fun man a lot of people like I created a thread
yesterday about like oh tell me what your favorite part of 2015 was for lus
Media Group um a surprising number of people really liked the Pyro which I was
pyro the I know yeah but I think it was
partially Linus's ARM hair getting burnt that people enjoyed very much or hitting
macb or hitting the Mac cuz he asked on the Forum right right so right true true
true I don't know um what about new people you're now working with another
guy in your department yeah I know he sucks he's not he's not here he's on a
bus he's on a Greyhound right now so he's probably not even watching CU too
much data yeah I'm sure whatever Colton but uh no he's good man everyone there's
a lot more people now it's crazy cuz Dennis Colton and John all I was I think
the sixth person here okay I totally
lost now there's like now there's like 11 were you before Burk or after before
before okay I thought you were after no
but yeah it's crazy CU like you were like oh yeah it feels like you just
started a few months ago it feels like a few months ago burkel started and that
was over a year ago now B's like an old school employee at this point yeah yeah
it's crazy and that's why like I was thinking up videos to put on this list
and I was going oh yeah this one and I was like that happened in 2014 yeah what
the heck like when did we build the mineral computer was that 2014 or 2015
like middle of 2014 yeah that's crazy it started in like June or July of 2014
that's insane because I looked at this and was like oh why is there no Miner oil
computer it's like wait what did I do this
year I remember things in like the last couple months yeah um going back to
compy Tex was cool getting another chance at compy text was cool I think we
did it right this time sending one team not two team te cuz CES has enough
content for two teams but I don't think comex does three teams this year yeah
we'll probably be fine CES has a lot of stuff CS has a lot of stuff comex is not
quite as much stuff yeah um hanging out with Dennis before he became an employee
that was pretty cool yeah yeah yeah and
then lonus was like so what do you think of him and we're asking him like for
like filming and editing I'm like he's I hung out with him in Taiwan he was cool
he was helpful I don't know he knew his way around finding things to
do like what are you asking me yeah
um working with vessel that was
a that was a 2015 thing yeah vessel
launched in 2015 we're talking a lot about we're talking a lot about but I
was going to talk about the launch day the launch day was ridiculous you and I didn't sleep no we stayed up the whole
night cuz we were worried about they ended up being fine but we were worried
about vessel's servers being able to accept all the people signing up because
they were doing like a free year within the first what 3 days or something first
72 hours I think so yeah we were like we need to make sure that everyone is able
to get yeah like like lonus for sale
made a website for us where people could register and then we had vessel agree
that if we had them on this registration sheet that they would get an account
even if the website was down or whatever and all this kind of stuff then their website ended up being fine so we had to
like send our database over to them like six different times and the whole time
they're like guys our website's fine you don't need to be doing this I'm like but
people are still going so we got to keep doing this and then we ended up not
sleeping and then had to go back to work the next day cuz lonus was in Asia at
that point yeah so I was mass producing videos lius is in Asia he's supporting
me and doing his normal job and we had to do the vessel launch that was insane
I forgot that happened this year yeah people are like oh you guys just make
videos it's fine we were working literally 20 hour work days oh yeah for
at least like a week while lus was at least a week yeah like that was
ridiculous CU we had to make up for all the mistakes of X right that's all we
going to put out there is X x yeah
um moving to the new office that'll happen this year this whole place
happened this year I okay I can comment on my experience with the new office my
entire workflow got destroyed
because there was no warning so it was
literally like Hey we're moving today I was like okay like I have all these
things happening like that I can't miss they're like yeah okay well do them as
well as the move and I'm like you kidding what so yeah the move
was extremely difficult for me yeah um
like once I got like a week into it it was fine but just the first couple days
I was like well everything is SC like everything is just done yeah um it
was ridiculous like looking around here and seeing how much stuff we have and
how much we had when we were at that house like people hate on how dirty it
was but lus lonus is right when he says it's like you're trying to do one of
those picture puzzles where you have one missing block and you have to move the
rest to make a picture except there's no missing block so you're just trying to
slam stuff into each other all day long there was no like this place is on
honestly getting to the point of like being full and we fit a very large
percentage of this stuff in that house house way smaller than this it's like
half the size less less than half
yeah that was crazy um yeah the move was
ridiculous though it's been so good since then though yeah the new the new
space has been I'm sure you guys have noticed in the videos I actually saw one
person being like the old videos were better and I was like what videos are
you watching yeah but people always say that yeah I I had to watch a video for
some reason I think I was doing research for something like a previous product or
whatever and we had a video on it so I watched it and the whole time I'm just
like wow this was pretty bad like what were
we doing I like I I understand it
because like at that point in time I think we had two
editors so I think there was four of us yeah there was four of us so we had two
editors and we were still releasing like nine videos a week
so like I got it but watching the thing I was like damn I'm happy that we're
where we're at now because the competition's really good yeah and back
then we would not have been able to keep up if we were where we at then compared
to now like everyone like every Tech YouTuber now is
crazy yeah even just looking at like Hardware
Canuck's like picture quality like everything they release just looks
beautiful everything they do is amazing
just ABS beautiful like I love what Brandon does and then I watch what
Dimitri does and I'm like this is so amazing and slightly different yeah but
just I like that they're not the same that makes me really happy yeah they
have just like such a bromance it's great speaking of Brandon should I pull
him in yeah
BR I'll go get him okay anyway bye
twitch so this is kind of going to be how it goes for the whole whatever you
want to call this show it's not weekly analysis and news at all this is like
yearly analysis and no news um so
basically that was Nick's segment I
didn't want to kick him off but we talked for a while and I need to go
through like basically everyone at the office so yeah we're g to move on a
little bit I don't know where Brandon is so I'm gonna try to find a way to keep
talking um my oh wow I can't even see
xsplit give me a second hi Aunt
Venom hi Nick do you find Brandon Brandon will be a few minutes okay but
he's coming yay yay um yeah what do you
expect in 2016 just more of
everything I want to do more crazy builds more better that's going to be a
thing for me I think I want that to be a thing for I don't know if I'm be able to
make it a thing for me I I will have personal rig updates in 2016
at least two big ones yeah um well okay
at least one big one let's let's not get ahead of ourselves here I need to make
sure that I don't over promise there will be at least one big personal rig
update if I end up doing my second build then there will be two but I don't know
if I'm going to doing a second build what else in 2016 new content new cont
we've discussed a couple ideas possible new channel maybe yeah we have a couple
things kicking around there's stuff kicking around um there's one really
solid Channel idea but we can't talk about it yet there's H yeah rip rip um
there is an expansion
or like an extrusion from a channel that we
have that may be coming soon so stay tuned for that oh that yeah okay that
going to be fun yeah yeah it's an okay way of describing it no one's going to
get it but it kind of makes sense it's like think about think about think about
the channels that we have and then we're taking one of those and we're going like
okay this is the theme of the channel we're going to do something specific
that's like similar but quite different it's not like DLC like it's bigger than
that it's much bigger than DLC yeah it's
like but then it's not a total new thing
completely so it's not like on the level of like uh it's not Diablo I yeah it's
diablo one expansion pack one yeah yeah
anyway hi Brandon bye what were your
favorite things that happened this year oh my God that's a really broad question it is
a broad question uh let's see did you go to NAB this year I did go to NAB this
year so how was that NAB was awesome are you planning on going this I would like
to do go again that would be awesome like it if you guys want to want him to
go again go watch his recent video on the camera
thing2 and share it and like it and there's another video coming out that's
on vessel still right now um that's a
handy Tech but it's camera Edition handy Tech under $50 which is the lowest handy
Tech that we've ever done so five Bongo ties
basically um but yeah NB was good this
year like it was it was interesting seeing all the new stuff and going in
actually covering it for the first time cuz I've been there before I've been
there once um going the second time you learned a lot and you get to see like a
lot of um how people do things that aren't like you know what we do so it's
that's always really interesting I would actually even like I probably won't end
up going I would like to go to neb as a spectator just to
see because I'm starting to slightly get interested in that kind of stuff so it'
be just kind of cool to like see things that I probably won't understand right
off the bat hey the first time I was there I was just like what is that what
I don't know what that does that's cool though and just everything's over it's
overwhelming it's like it's being like it's like being at CES but not knowing
anything about tech like just be what's
a smartwatch I don't right right right yeah I think that could be cool cuz like
I know I know next to nothing about all that kind of stuff but I'm trying to get
into it right um so that could be fun what else is it like you're hosting a
lot more videos now um yeah it's been an interesting part of it I'm still
improving but uh I I've enjoyed it a lot
more than I thought I would which is good um I guess yeah talking about
camera stuff is I do that anyway so like
lus just like just do it in front of a camera so I'm like okay sure gave it a
shot a couple times I hopefully keep doing it he seem to be very well
accepted on the channel which is actually super cool that's cool thanks guys yeah yeah um what was your favorite
thing to shoot this year favorite thing to shoot oh my God it's a really I don't
even if I could even think of how many over 300 videos you got to pick one I've
had to shoot this year or like everything that not even necessarily
yeah right uh honestly
the thing that we just shot the other day really yeah that I was hoping I
can't really talk about okay so that is releasing if you're watching live that
is releasing in 10 hours if you're watching in the archive it was the one
before this video yeah cuz this video is being
uploaded tomorrow oh I see tonight's video yeah right right yeah yeah that's
right weird yeah it is weird but I was I was hoping you'd like shooting that
that's cool it was good yeah cool cuz I've always I always like preparation so
we we had a little more time to prepare for that and it was good I think it went
really smoothly and I think I'm watching
edit it right now and it it's turning out really well yeah have you seen a cut
of it at all no but you should see the part I was watching a little bit of the part where you guys were like talking
and then they were talking and it was working out really well good okay cool
that's really good that's as vague as I can be that I'm really excited for that
what I'll drop in terms of hints is that
uh scrapyard Wars was the start of the
show like kind of content the next one
that we're doing is one episode not multiple episodes you don't have to wait
for anything it's all there in one big thing and it's kind of this same idea of
show like content that's all the information I'm going to give you guys I
hope you guys like it it's my little brainchild and yeah I really want people
to like it a lot so we can do more of them because it's really fun yeah yeah
yeah all the I don't know like I guess from a we're in a new office now that's
probably like my how do that you have the lighting grid and stuff now compared
to the old we now we now have a lighting grid which allows me to hang the
majority of the lights that we use on or like above so we don't have to have
stands on the ground which frees up a lot of floor space and helps us out when
we're moving stuff around and like need to move quickly and oh bye Nick you
already here Merry Christmas have a good one um and having that
just minimizes setup Time by so much
I love when Co time has been saved yeah like took us a while to get everything
done but now that it's all done and I'm looking up and I just see lights everywhere it makes me
happy if you know Brandon like he's not exaggerating it probably directly
increases his happiness level yes absolutely every single day I walk in
here oh I don't have to set up five things before we can do anything that's
great the other day after that crazy thing that we filmed I think you had
left and I came in here and was realized
that all the lights were on I was like like how do I do this and then followed
the followed the cable found the squid pressed the one button it was like all
wow that's really nice yeah I'm still going to make that even better but for
now that's how how it is one switch which is still good it makes a lot
easier to manage things how about you what was your like I've I'm keep on
bouncing back and forth so I'm I'm G to try to answer that in regards to things
that you were a part of I guess is how what was the what was what other this
year like I feel like this year started and I blinked and now we're at yeah I
know seriously that's uh like when Nick and I were on here we were just slowly
remembering all the things and part of the problem is filtering out things that
happened in 2014 yeah cuz some of them feel like they spill over we we produced
so much stuff that it's really hard to remember um one thing that I liked was
going back to Taiwan again that was cool that was really awesome yeah Taiwan was
awesome computex was a lot of fun it's nice seeing all the people we get to see
when we go to shows like that and uh Taiwan like super awesome one of my
favorite places people are so nice there yeah one thing that I noticed is
everyone gives Canada The Stereotype of like everyone in Canada is really nice
and that's great and I like that because I like being known as like a nice
Canadian person that's cool um but then you go to Taiwan and like honestly I was
like man I think I need to be nicer because these guys are nicer than me and
that's like our stereotype I know I need to step up my game um it was surprising
how welcoming everyone is honestly I didn't even feel like it
was that crowded like their population's really high but their density seems all
over the place depending on where you are there City like that's one thing
about Canada is there's not a ton of us there's less people in all of Canada
than there is in just the state of California um but we all bundle into
these tiny Ultra compact groups it's
ridiculous um so like Vancouver the city that we're really close to is like jam
packed and then uh Taiwan has cities
that are just sprawling and really big
so the density is there it's not
insane it's definitely there though but then it spreads itself out a little bit
in Canada it's like nope shove it in a little corner we have all this land but
screw it yeah let's not use that pack into these little things so yeah it
actually wasn't that bad I don't know
Happ this year we did another scrapyard Wars we did another scrapyard Wars that
was inter did we do two this year we I think the water cooling one was this
year yeah I guess it started this year so we did two scrapyard Wars and we did
the new thing yeah cool so we did we did
three show like content things um one
thing that Nick brought up is that Channel Super Fun evolved a lot this year yes it did um so lonus Tech dips
shifted a little bit we do more like fun show likee things like building the
crazy servers uh building the bomb doing
the whoo doing the two Gamers one CPU
rig um like fun things like that and we
still do reviews and then Channel super
fun has like way more high quality stuff
uh instead of it being mostly an afterthought and making sure that it
only took up like half hour of our time every week now it's like actually a big
deal and well produced and interesting things yeah making the time for it is
worthwhile just cuz those videos are so fun to do MH uh and like where we where
it can go can kind of be in so many different way like what the things that
you can do on the channel is nuts yeah yeah it's it's awesome but Nick's done a
really good job of like taking the Reigns on that channel and like bringing
it to something that's it really has so Nick Van Burl
like basically uh like quote unquote
owns that channel like he he does a lot of the idea starting stuff and if
someone gives him an idea he's the one that actually implements everything so
like you might spit an idea at him but he does everything for it um he is often
shooting it or plans how it's going to be shot and then might host it he drives
a lot of the hosting Nicki V whatever yeah um he edits most of it he does like
a lot of the social and stuff for it like he's worked very hard to bring it
to even more high quality content than
what it used to be which is great and has a little icon thing I need
to make one for you oh oh that's Co
there's me Dennis ble Nick light and
lonus where are those pictures from from my personal
twitch um if you subscribe not to shout out my own thing if you subscribe to my
personal twitch you get little icons of lpes members
um but yeah now now that I have enough subscribers I can add more so I want to
finish off the rest of the team cool what else happened this
year God it's like a it's I think it it
feels so fast that I can't even remember half the things I like was it this year
was that a long time ago we were in a house not that long ago
yeah and I just remember counting down the days from when we were all like oh
yeah we're moving and then we're like wait we're moving in like five months
okay yeah how was the uh the prank the
office getting robbed oh okay like I I
think this will be our last thing and then I'll pull yeah sure I want
I remember driving up to the house and
the door was wide open and who I think it was Ed was standing outside I'm just
like what's going on and then nick nick nick uh Nikki V walks outside he's like
Brandon grab a camera start shooting I'm like why what's going on and then I look
inside the house I'm like whoa what happened and they're like we
were robbed I'm like oh my God like just
and then and then I think I think it was Teran who came or no wait was it Taran
or Nick they one of them came downstairs like Brandon your headphones are gone I'm like
oh sure I still remember the quote in the video of you being like well at
least all the camera gear is still here that was the first thing I checked I'm
like wait what Thief wouldn't take camera that doesn't even make any sense
um so I I like for like honestly a
second thought wait is this a joke no it's not a joke it's way like I think
what sold it to me was lius screaming
about teran's or um screaming at you about the oatmeal on on the floor that
was like when I heard that upstairs I'm like oh yeah this must be real he had that plan to yell at me for that from
like the Friday before that that yeah
that really sold it and I was completely
immersed in the the believability of it and when we got
upstairs and we did that he's like so
hey guys by by the way remember the that
moment just wow remember when you made me miss that flight thatone just like
what what like really you really wrecked
this whole place just for this yeah that actually happened so epic it was awesome
all right hey lonus your turn
up come come come hither I can get Nick
as well I think he's pretty are you not free I'm coming okay there we go all
right there we go well thank you thank you Brandon for joining
us so what were your favorite or least favorite things of this year there are
literally three items in the inventory system manufacturer razor description
headphones thank you whoever entered those you still have oh yeah I guess I
still have huge thing yeah uh so we
played a fun game today called hide the mustache on your face
nope no that's not what we played sorry what are we what are we doing did you
enjoy it did you like it yeah it's a fun game what it is I liked it to no I I had
I had a really good time I actually we end up playing that a lot at my place when we have games nights and stuff yeah
because it's actually pretty yeah it's a lot of fun yeah Channel Super Fun coming up yeah next Wednesday I guess so the
whole idea is just what were your like most impactful or important or favorite
or least favorite things that happened this year What mattered to you in 2015
What mattered to me in I think the biggest thing in 2015 was um moving into
the new office was an obvious one uh but
for me the biggest part of moving into the new office even was
that was achieving the goal of
organization and it took a long time and
it's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but compared to what we were
dealing with before being able to go gee
I sure need a DVI cable right now and there being one place where I can go
where there will with 90% certainty be a
DVI cable make such a huge difference to
my workflow and even having somewhere to work like one of the worst things uh
before we left the old office was setting up servers and working on
servers because they're loud um they're
bulky and you can't really because they're loud and bulky you can't have
them in a set you can't have them in an office space so the place I actually had
to work on all the server stuff was at the top of the stairs in the middle of
the hallway people terrible literally needed to step over me to get down the
stairs or across the hallway to talk to Nick and like big guys like myself I had
to like ARM pull myself over and like jump four or five stairs to like launch
myself over top of them cuz I'd be just laying along the top of the stairs with
a keyboard and mouse on the floor at the top of the stairs and a server or two in
the hallway and uh I I know there's more than one person with a scar on their leg
from uh from hitting the the edges of the the ear mounts yeah burkel's waving
at us from those servers in the hallway so so that was the big thing is there
was a lot of skepticism from the rest of the team um about the move not about
that it would be good but about that we would be able to keep it tidy um and
about that it would change so much and I
think maintaining the tidier workspace is a big part of what changed people's
positivity and changed people's attitudes and changed people's um just
general General state of being um and while I did have to be a bit of a jerk
about things for quite a while listened up now well that's because a lot of
people have fixed a lot of habits already there's no more I mean this was
this was one of your this was one of your uh uh like laying down the law
things was people were leaving pea spots next to the
toilet oh the things I was angry about
okay I was like what the hell dude no no
so he sends out this rate email like guys this ain't kindergarten you know if
there's a if there's a drop of pee that falls off the end of your penis then you
wipe it you know you wipe it you put you take that toilet paper you put that in
the toilet so I was like okay that's it
if anyone catches anyone else if anyone sees a PE spot on the floor you tell me
the time and I will look up on the surveillance system who the last person
to go into that bathroom was so if you see it you better report it unless
you're going to clean it and it's St and it was done actually one occurred but I
dealt with it privately okay okay there you go all right so so so that behavior
was gone all right um I never saw it again
so in in terms of my side it TT chats
like lick it up thanks twitch chat gross e so that I think for me that's the
biggest thing is the Shi having a kitchen that isn't a set is great and
having a kitchen that's not full of dirty dishes because everyone's dishes
are labeled and you know exact CU everyone's like not me not me not me
well this spoon says BL on it so we
either have a Bunton Le or it's Brandon
Lee or someone stole it but then security footage that's right that's
right that's a serious people so then people don't want to steal it cuz security footage people are like lonus
should be a kindergarten teacher honestly I feel like a kindergarten teacher sometimes there is so much more
to running a business than just barking
orders and like making the videos
there's like putting putting policies in place is one thing and then actually
enforcing policies and is an entirely different one and it's like a constant
battle like we got some Bose qc15 headphones uh for some people who
requested noise cancelling headphones for their workstations and literally not
one of the four of them was entered into the inventory system correctly they were
all under PC headsets and only two of them had serial numbers entered for them
I entered number and mine was under PC headsets cuz all the other ones were so
anyway I fixed them I even I was
entering it with someone I think it was Brandon I remember going like this isn't
a headset it's under C headphones cuz
why C headphones are not they're not peripherals so we made a decision to
divide them why are they not peripherals because they're not they're a consumer
electronics device it's not a peripheral how is it not a peripheral because
normally you would cuz when the peripherals are PC peripherals they're
computer peripherals but it's still a peripheral does it say does it say PC
peripheral I'm actually not sure anyway
I don't know if you were on the committee but we made a group decision
when we when we changed it because the thing too is I needed them separated
somehow because if I'm looking for headphones I'm not looking for headsets
and vice versa so headphones are under consumer electronics and headsets are
under peripherals I didn't know what CE stood for okay I thought it was closed
de okay that's a good guess but no um so
so yeah so it's under consumer electronics why would you make that a
category makes so much more sense so
it's little things like that um you know fighting those uphill battles uh you
know keeping the garbage under control but the good news is that everyone
continues to improve and I think part of it is out of respect for this thing that
we earned um because you know with your help uh with Partners like YouTube and
vessel and you know I think I'm wearing a Squarespace shirt no I'm not but like
squar space yeah all all those like that
we earned this workspace that is so much happier and more pleasant and cleaner to
work in and so I think people genuinely want to improve it so I think that's
where that comes from also me cracking the Whip and Luke sending out angry
emails I've done a few of them it's gotten to the point where I get to send happy emails though the other day I
don't remember if I actually sent the email my phone might have died yeah the Sho did I send the picture Okay okay so
I took a picture of the shoe rack at the front door and I'm like this makes me
feel warm and fuzzy inside or something like that all the shoes were on the rack
all the shoes were tidally side by side on the rack except one pair which was
under the rack but tucked in under the rack tucked in under the rack is fine
I'm cool with that yeah I'm cool with that um because there was a few weeks
earlier where I took a photo and there was literally the entire entrance way
was just covered in shoes and it's like it's one of those ridiculous it's like
literally it looks like sometimes and they weren't even like next to each other it would look like people just
kicked their shoes off in the direction of the rack and like hit it I think
that's what happened and then I think people would just get frustrated that
there were so many shoes that they just walk through it so like not only were
they randomly distributed but then they were kicked around just everywhere don't
there's a rack like a foot away from where it was um I think the other big
thing that happened this year was the shift from lonus Tech tips being a show
where um l or from being a YouTube
channel where lonus gives you tips and reviews about tech to being one where
really there could be any number of different people Brandon and Taran both
hosted their first videos this year I believe Ed did as well uh Luke has
become a more prominent player in the lineup meaning that we actually have
five hosts some of which don't show up that often but we have five hosts that
you might expect to appear on lonus Tech tip so it's becoming less about lonus
and more about the lonus tech tips brand
which is which is great that's a really positive change and the other thing that happened is it stopped being just
reviews um and turned into what we call
more of a a show yeah format where it can be about what we do uh what we I'm
really excited i' both people that have been on so far I've brought up the one
that we shot a little bit ago and will be going up in 10 hours or if you're
watching the archive yesterday um yep and this will be a simultaneous release
on vessel and YouTube so be stoked on that um it's going to go to everyone
tonight it's it's sort of a Christmas special uh someone brought up too Nikki
V hosting Channel Super Fun MH yep and that's the other thing Channel Super Fun
is no longer lonus and the LMG crew we've actually had uh Mr Nick van burkel
take on the take on the challenge of taking Channel Super Fun to the next
level and and become our primary host there so that's that's I guess the
biggest change this year is lonus Tech tips becoming more of a show and less
about just like making us less reliant on like what cool product there is to
talk about that's a huge deal actually um before there would be dips where the
channel got kind of a little boring to be completely honest because there
wasn't interesting products coming out now it's like more motherboards oh
there's a dip let's do some really cool stuff now because we can actually take a
break from the really interesting things and because we have a because we have the resources to do it I mean that's
another thing too we our headcount grew by what like four this year Dennis John
Colton John Colton uh well yvon's
joining us technically next year technically January 1 so okay fine I'll
give you that so we added three people this year which is bananas right did
burkel get outed this year no late last year very late last year so he's
basically new this year okay um that's
fair so so yeah we we just have so much more so many more resources to do what
we need to do so that's the exciting thing is Linus Media Group being less
about Linus and more about media and group this year which doesn't mean we're
going to remove the lonus still going to be the first word you know it's kind of
like peeing on the fence right like territory marking like I need I have to
put my name on the building and on your computer on my computer on the shirt
okay okay the name on the computer was not actually my doing uh that airbrush
job on my personal R by the way personal rig update is coming it was supposed to
be this Sunday but uh the Canada Customs looks better in low has some of my
components yeah I shadowed a little bit um so that was actually done by our
neighbor and he asks me like do do you want the name on the
front because I could take that off and I'm just like seems like a lot of work
for him he had already like clear coded it and everything like he was saying he could take it off and I'm like dude I
don't want you to do that it's okay it's okay and besides you know
what I don't mind it course you don't
and most of Twitter actually most people said to leave it the people who didn't
say to completely change the design altogether said to leave the name I
don't really like it yeah that's okay I think he did a good job but I don't I
like your wife's oh you you've seen yvon hers is really cool yeah do you have it
here yeah yeah I do this one's pretty sweet so did like did he design both of
these or like yeah okay yeah I just I said I wanted blue Lightning so I got
exactly what I asked for and Ivon said that she wanted kind of like an owl
thing going on so he did like some feather kind of Desy things and these
really piercing yellow eyes that I think are fantastic I really like that one a
lot what else um what was your lowest point oh
wow lowest point this year think it's an interesting conversation the the flight
Miss Channel Super Fun flight Miss was
that your lowest point or wanck oh okay so that video is coming
out this weekend so I'm not going to I'm not going to spoiler that lowest point
this year did I well did I go on vacation
this year yes yeah that's why I said the flight miss that was this year no no no
that that was fine that was just like I was too stressed to be to be low for
that um no I'd say I'd say my lowest
point this year was um in terms of like
being really stressed and like not knowing if I can do this was the time
leading up to my my two weeks off or two and a half weeks off of vacation um I
just I we were we it was already going to be crazy because I was trying to
build up enough content that I wasn't leaving these guys completely in alert
they'd never been without me for that long so I was trying to bank as much
content as I could so that they would have to pull as few 12-hour you know
14-hour days as possible while I was gone and then the vessel launch happened
and then the vessel launch happened did that anyways but so we had to do a full
we found out shortly before I left that we were going to have to do a full
additional week of buffer um and that
just about just about took me down like I was and and we were in that old
cramped dirty office and just yeah you know what that's actually
that's no no I have a new lower lowest point for the year I think the lowest point of
the Year for me was each time I found
out from the construction company that we were delayed another 3 weeks or
another two weeks or another month to move into this place I mean we had
possession of this place for months before we moved in they were supposed to
start construction actually before we
got the building permit because we know the code inside and out so we can get
started you know no problem turns out they didn't do anything until they had
permits it was complete outright lie um
and like trying to trying to keep other
people up about hey're we're moving soon we're moving soon I know this is really
hard right now I know we have no space I know that like you have to climb over
piles of debris to get to your desk um
and and me myself being just extremely
frustrated and and yeah knowing that
even when we finally could move in it was going to be a nightmare because we
were getting kicked out of our old place we had neighbors call the city and tell
them that we were running a business out of the property which you're technically not allowed to do and we had too much
part uh I think you can run one to a
certain degree but we were well above it we were well over the limit and uh so
having all that stress and being told you knowy it's delayed it's delayed it's
delayed I'm like look I have to get out of here so we had to move in before the place was even done which made it so
much more timec consuming and so much more stressful um so I think that was
the hardest part of this year there you go yeah anything else you want to bring
up for this year should we cycle someone else in let's let someone else in I'm on the Lano all the time yeah okay sounds
good want to grab someone from the editing room I think Taran and Ed are
both way too swamped so maybe Dennis or
John let's bring in John John one of our newbies yeah well Dennis is a newbie
too uh no you have to go online show okay online show
I'll go on right now okay rock on oh your headphone hair what's that it's
fine whatever it's fine they'll have to deal with it so guys this is John you've
probably seen him there's camera on uh Channel Super Fun what channel super
funds have you been on um I was on Pizza darts I was ons um we did the the
trampoline dodgeball yeah that was awesome that was my favorite one I think
that was awesome okay so you haven't been with us for a super long time but
you saw the old office you saw the entire progress of the new office
basically basically um John for you guys information is basically responsible for
more or less all of the writing on Techquickie yeah the vast majority yeah the
vast majority of all the writing on techi so if you guys are a fan of what
has been going on on techi lately which has been a Resurgence to a certain
degree um there you go that's John what
are your basically what we're talking about is what your favorite things that happened this year what were the lowest
points of this year what were the highest points of this year um in
basically realm okay probably the high
point was walking in here to the new office it was probably what maybe a
month and a half after we moved in yeah and there was the big lest Media Group
sign in the front agry I was like oh man it's like we're a real company now you
know so oh um no but really uh well that
might have been it I don't know umir probably the worst thing that was a cool
moment probably the worst thing that happened to me this year other than
spamming I don't know how many hundreds of thousands of people on Twitter
accidentally sorry again um um so a few
weeks ago uh taran's mom came by to meet
everyone and I had a glass I think it
was just a glass of water or something it was one of those cheap little Ikea
glasses that L of Scot us yeah you haven't heard this yet no I don't think
so okay so L of Scot everyone those little cheap Ikea glasses um to decorate
so I had mine sitting on my desk and it just had water in it or something
teran's mom comes in and teran's like oh hey John this is my mom I go to shake
her hand and you know this is within 5 Seconds of meeting her the water cup
Falls over and it doesn't fall on the floor it's sitting on the table like
this and it just goes like like that somehow this thing is so cheap it just
shatters there's glass everywhere taran's mom is just looking at me and
I'm just like well that's kind of power for the course as far as what I do here
so so so that that sticks out the most
to my head other than the other than the spam on Twitter yeah most people for
their lowest point I was expecting them to bring up the office robbery cuz I
remember I just watched it yesterday and I remember you seeing that the laptop
was gone the prank the yeah I remember
you seeing that your laptop was gone and I was like oh I I was like panicking I
have to change everything I fully expected you to be like that was my
lowest point but that is hilarious and I totally yeah that's that's pretty cool
yeah what is this Colton's not here so I'm going to
jump in with his lowest point um issuing copyright strikes against our own videos
twice he did it again yesterday
what oh my God that guy's got to work on
his workflow man oh my goodness what's
your favorite Channel Super Fun you've WR or not Channel Super Fun favorite uh
fastest possible you've written favorite fastest possible I've written probably
that AMD history video I actually learned a lot rying that thing it got a
lot of views I worked on it a little bit with L as we had some fun conversations
over you know okay what was the most important thing um um you know I think
AMD has what only like 20% of the CPU market now I think a lot of people don't
think about them but they contributes a lot and you know it was it it was fun to
sort of write and teach about that so right right right that's pretty cool
um some like you do a lot of the
benchmarking too which is something that a lot of people might not know when they're watching
um now that John's been here a big a big problem with my workflow a lot of time
was that benchmarking takes a disproportionate amount of time most
people don't realize how long some of these things actually take and they're
like oh like why don't you guys have more videos or why didn't you like test
way more stuff and I'm like because it takes a really long time sometimes when
you're dealing with a let say a graphics card that has not been released yet and
you're using like beta drivers that they emailed you which are Super not ready
and you have to overclock it and the driver's just
like all over the place it can be a disaster so John has helped a ton in
that category and has freed up a lot of my time you'll see that I've probably hosted more stuff I'm on channel superf
fun more um there there's a new version of The Forum
coming whoa very excited most people didn't know about that so I've been able
to spend tons more time working on that
um yeah JN has been like Jon was the
first addition to the team that helped
pre-production yeah so there we've we've from the start we've added a a bunch of
camera and editors we've added two sales guys and then we finally added John
who's actually helped a ton with lonus and I because lonus and I the whole time
we're like we'll just keep making more things and hopefully everything else is
fine and we can add people to help them and we'll just hold it up and then
John's here and that helps now it's still just us three with preproduction still just us three and then that's it
yeah and just Luke was saying with the benchmarking it can it can definitely
take a while you know you want to do it the exact same way every time so you're
not getting unfair variance between cars and you know sometimes drivers don't
want to cooperate um or sometimes you get to the end of your testing and I
think you ran into this I've ran into this a billion times I'm sure you've ran into this at least once by now you get
to the end of your testing and then you're like that number is really
weird something's wrong I don't know what's wrong and then you figure out
like oh this like one thing was set incorrectly so now you have to redo like
everything exactly oh no or like uh what
was it the Witcher video where I told you the wrong
Witcher it was like it it was completely the wrong game it had to learn a whole
new Ben it was oh man that was such a disaster I was like yeah Benchmark
crisis W and Witcher won but then the one I actually meant which I did not say
but the one that I meant was Witcher 2 because the whole point was testing Uber
sampling I think that's how it went right yeah cuz Witcher did not have Uber
sampling at all which or two did and it was just I think it ran on a completely
different engine the games were like in no way comparable and I was just sitting
here like oh no okay so that was a disaster
yeah anything else important happened this year you moved to this country yes
I did yeah so that was pretty crazy yeah which is why I have a which is why I
have a who's saying yeah I have a stupid voice SL stupid accent that would be why
cuz I'm not I'm not because I'm not Canadian so bit of Southern draw I
guess I don't know if you're good to go I might pull Dennis in or is there
anything else you want to talk about oh I don't know what should I talk about
just the the whole thing is just basically I think we did this last year
too but it was just lionist and I basically it's just anything more
related to the company but it doesn't entirely have to be related to the company um that you thought was
important in a positive or negative way in 2015 it's very broad I talked a lot
about the Channel Super Fun stuff we've been doing um I talked about some of the
bigger projects we've done online as techtips um some of my clothes are
permanently stained pink from painting Linus's
car okay that was pretty fun yeah it was
that was a lot ofun how long had you been working here by the time we did that oh not long I not long I think uh
when did we like beginning of August is when we did that I think so end of July
it was about a month I hadn't been here for very long so working at a new
company for about a month and then you paint your boss's car pink yeah that was
a weird experience um it was we it
wasn't actually that bad cuz I sort of knew what I was getting into the worst
part was when I spilled pink paint on Li's driveway and I was just like and
it's like that oil paint that won't come off and I was like well I'm fired did
you guys get it off um I got most of it yeah I got most of it because it was
just kind of sitting there and it was fresh so yeah I was able to I was able
to take care of it so that makes sense that's pretty funny um um I'm trying to
think of other things when ixie sent me that pizza with oysters and like
whatever other crap that was on it it was actually pretty decent and then
Taran was just like what the hell are you doing this this worst thing so that
so disgusting oh man it looked and smelled gross I know you liked it and
that's awesome because at least it got it was a little too salty but it it was
palatable I'll say that it was palatable so it was I like I couldn't even breathe
it in and be happy like there was no way I was going to be able to eat that I
just like looked at it and smelled it and just completely just noped right out
of there so iie if you're watching jokes on you it's fantastic thanks for the
pizza we'll see it eventually yeah that's funny I can't even remember I
think they just did like a coin toss end up figuring out who got trolled by the
pizza well didn't because it was addressed to me and Taran and maybe
Dennis it was it was someone else who I think they know or knew would not like
it so okay I don't know but yeah that was pretty sweet so yeah cool anything
else I don't want to hog no that's cool yeah I'm probably going to be ending
pretty soon anyway yeah where's big money is he
still in the he's probably in there you want to grab him yes I'll grab him
awesome sounds thanks for watching W show
yes if you guys have any questions for
um as as John calls him big money or uh
Dennis uh let me know in twitch chat I have been kind of somewhat watching you
guys oh yeah I got to do Burl too I just
do Dennis and brl at the same time make sure you get Dennis to tell you about
why I call him big money okay do you know the story I do not the Ethernet
cable I I have no idea don't trip don't trip there we go I
was really worried about that one cuz that camera would have bowled right over
if she tripped wow okay first question
Dennis why does John call you big money I don't know you don't know I really
don't know he just he said something about an e
cable oh okay I bought the so I bought
the internet C cable from Best Buy oh it
was 40 bucks 40 bucks for an Ethernet
cable ah this is cool I never been on
here you never been on the show so you can see right here that's live so
everyone's commenting right now you can see people see the see your face yeah
yeah so people have a little icon of your face um yeah so basically what this is
is we're just discussing um big important things
whether they're positive or negative that happened this year this okay so you
joined the company you came from Taiwan after meeting myself and Brandon that
well you already knew Brandon but after meeting myself and Brandon over there um
yeah what what big and important happened uh this year
yeah so okay start from
January should I start from okay well like it's it doesn't have to be strictly
related to the company but more or less like um so I got my I got an a job right
after my military service I was working in a new station since start from
January cuz I plan to move back last December so by probably like last year
this time I always I supposed to be here okay but
there's some issues so I have to stay in Taiwan and I I have to work in a new
station till till I got before I got
this job yeah and yeah that's a really
big change and it all happened probably like in two weeks oh my good and I I
have to move everything from Tai to back to my house in tan and move back to here
and um I just it just happened too fast and a lot of my friends didn't even know
I am anything else yeah so this would change there so
many big change happened yeah yeah so you didn't not even everyone you knew in
Taiwan knew you were leaving oh some of they know cuz but like some relatives
families they don't know okay yeah yeah yeah cuz it just happened has that been
brutal or has everyone been cool about it oh they are they are excited for me
okay yeah they're happy for me that's cool moving here that's cool what about
U that's a really interesting story uprooting from your country John and
Dennis both John came from the US it's not actually as big of a change compared
to Dennis coming straight from freaking Taiwan D you went to school here though
yeah but John never been here no John has never been here Dennis went to
school here with the rest of the filming and editing guys that work here so kind
of knew all those guys already so it wasn't as probably I don't know it's
it's more jarring in terms of the distance but it's probably less jarring
because John had never uh lived and worked here before I guess um what about
directly related to stuff you've worked on here
um is actually have a lot a lot more stuff we have to
get done than I thought um cuz when I
was working for in news it was more time
consuming I have to finish a lot of videos in probably like 30 minutes but
in here we have more time but we have more videos we have have we need to do
uh better yeah yeah yeah um but still it's
fun I like I like like you have we I
have to shoot and edit and I have also have to involve in some videos M it's
not just a editor's job for me yeah yeah yeah what is your favorite video to be
involved in the Channel Super Fun Channel Super Fun yeah yeah um yeah did
you like the bomb one or was that unfair cuz you didn't really know it was I
didn't even know we were playing until last minut yeah okay so that was
something I didn't know about until after the competition I was actually
confused cuz I was like Dennis is usually better than those things I like
why does he just not get it I okay even now I still don't know how to play that
game yeah okay so everyone else that was participating had been told to go on
YouTube and watch
um angle why are people complaining about the angle whatever people were
told to go on YouTube and watch videos of how the game was played except for
Dennis so then we all knew how to play to a certain degree we hadn't seen the
manual yet but we knew there was a manual and we knew how the manual worked
and then we knew how to actually operate the game denn was never told any of that
so then is looking at this manual like what do I do with this and right before
doing that I was shooting b roll and stuff and they like Dennis you're on
you're in this game I like what I don't even know what we're doing
yeah oh man yeah that but I'm not Che
I'm not that dumb no no just didn't know
what's going on what a jerk that's berl
constantly heckling on Dennis um what
was your least favorite thing it's a hard question my least favorite thing
is um dealing one of the tripod here we
have there's a tripod I really hate
every time I walk by I just want to swear to
it not tripod we use for um green screen
yeah the main one yeah yeah it's really hard to use it's it just even you label
is it's it's supposed to label with when the bubbles in the circle but it's not
and I just hate that tripod so much and I every time I use it I just go back to
complain to Brandon Brandon is like okay I know I understand I hate that tripod
that's this thing I my that's pretty funny um what was I going to bring up
how how is so one thing that you guys might not know is that we actually
upload videos in China on on Billy B or
something uh we have Couple website that uploading um Billy Billy Billy
Billy to to um some other two I kind of
forget because we have four and so
basically I every morning I give them
the script and so they translate I have to export China version for them Nick
can you stop and so yeah that's
basically what I do I work with some of Chinese people Yeah so basically he
uploads a Chinese version of the video and a uh script to them then they
translate off of the script these guys I think were the same guys who had been
doing it uh kind of the ghetto way before where they were listening to it
and then translating it which is rough so now we give them actually our raw
scripts they translate it from that and then upload it with professional
subtitles but sometimes if they don't
understand some words they'll probably ask me like some slangs right like dang
that kind of stuff like Nick always say some weird words I don't understand and
do we upload Channel superone over there no but like moving log oh okay yeah yeah
yeah so they ask me if I don't understand sometimes I don't understand
either I have to ask you guys yeah yeah that makes sense is there anything else
you want to bring up or I might cycle bur um we don't have a ton of time left
but if there's anything else you want to talk well that's super cool is there
anything else important that happened this year not really I've been moving oh I
got oh yeah I've been moving how many time I've moved this year four times
five times from from Tai tan and Taiwan
to here and I live at Nick's parents
house for the first probably a week or two I moved to another house and I moved
to Nick's house and I now I moved to my house
and I I got my first car in my life and
I got the first mattress in my life my own mattress and what what else happened
this year um I got my your own place and your own
car and all that stuff I used to live by my own in Taiwan so okay but it's it's
cool I have I never had that big place by my own and it's fun it's good to have
my own car cuz you cannot live without a car in can
Bas cuz like first couple like probably first oh no first month first month and
a half I didn't even have a car and I have to use Nick to drive me around to
do grocery yeah it was really bad yeah
it's good to have so many things happening this year and it's really fun
working here is the best job I've had so
far that's awesome I actually feel the same in two
countries yes okay that's pretty cool cool get Burl
yeah hey Burl you're
up cool thanks how do how do we get those pictures those pictures um the
people that have the ones of like you and burko and myself and all that kind
of stuff I have a twitch Channel That's partnered so if they subscribe to my
twitch Channel then they can use this so I'll show you to pay yeah I'll show you
on here these are all oh going to be
adding more like I want to get one of Brandon I want to get one of Taran I
want to get one of Colton and John but yeah oh he's coming hello
bur what's
that with this shoot
no okay so I think you probably get the gist at this point uh I don't I actually
don't know what was the weird I'm seeing nickl and then Dennis on the screen at
the same time oh wow um basically what's
going on is what what happened this year to you mostly related to work but
doesn't have to be completely related to work uh that was important or cool or
interesting or terrible or bad or
whatever interesting stories from 2015 r
a blur what a quick year you went to Germany for vmw oh yeah you went to NAB
yeah you basically took over Channel Super Fun yeah that was probably my
favorite part there was the office move all the office moving Vlogs man there's
a lot of stuff holy there's tons of stuff I'm trying to weigh in on one
thing but I don't even know there's so many things going on um you start firing
okay first fire let's start off na last
year 2015 the spark of a new year that
was pretty cool I'd never gone to Vegas for work before it was a lot of fun yeah
a lot of work but like super oh you also did oh no that was technically no you
did CES too yeah yeah what did I say oh yeah CES
that was 2015 that's what I was actually talking about yeah that was a lot of fun
and then doing that WAN Show with everyone I don't know that was like holy
crap everything so many so much stuff's G on yeah that like I don't know pretty
much every trip has been really cool going to Germany that was really cool
for someone said who is this this is Nick Van B also known as Nick V you've
probably seen him you saw him in the moving Vlogs for sure and you've
probably also seen him over on Channel Super Fun all over the place uh his main
job here is heading up leading producing
filming hosting Channel Super Fun doing that yeah that's i s you know what's
funny like I did not start off doing that here I started off editing like
faps and stuff and then doing one Channel Super Fun a week co- doing it
with tan and then after a while I was like oh I kind of like editing these I
kind of just want to do this let's see if I can just slide my way into just
literally just doing this Channel and now that's all I do basically but you
know other stuff here and there yeah but uh yeah no that's basically my job now
Channel Super Fun and it's a lot of fun that's obviously the best thing about
this year is having that be my job cuz you know not so often can you like
play around and goof around and make stupid editing and do joke like goofy
I had a I had a buddy over yesterday who's from Colona I haven't
seen him in probably a year or two yeah
um but he's like not into computers at all he's just a good buddy of mine from high school and stuff and I started
showing him like Channel's super fun and stuff he's like how is this your job
yeah I don't know it's you know what for as fun as it is it makes it really hard
to explain to people what you do for work it's like H like I make videos for
work what what kind like I don't
like if I explain it I sound like such an idiot but it is a job so yeah you
know it works what was your favorite Channel Super Fun this year somebody
just posted it I liked painting the car I loved that the the like Nicki V
Customs version well yeah like I I don't know I hate editing myself cuz I like
just I hate but then once it's done I like looking back I'm like oh that's
pretty funny like during the thick of it I'm like man this sucks this is brutal
but uh the car painting both of them were pretty I liked the first one
because that was when we had done the car painting in the day we ate pizza we
went back to the office and that's when the whole fake staged robbery happened
so that was intense that was insane cuz like what a m like that blew my mind I
was like what like the office got robbed while we're painting and freak car like
nobody was at the office like out of all days to not be there yeah that that
prank was so good that totally like totally fooled me I've never been
pranked that hard before that was legitimate confusion you almost murdered
yeah I went driving after someone that didn't exist yeah I straight up got in
my car and was ripping around like I don't know what would have like if I had
what the hell what a stupid
tactic did you find of though you could call the cops yeah I guess so make a
citizen's arrest yeah but yeah that was
uh that was pretty CRA so I guess that kind of Loops into the worst part too
cuz that was like stressful and then moving into this
place was pretty like it was nice getting you know when it's like you do
your job all the time and then you get a little break from it and it's so nice
like oh I don't have to be riding today I'm actually moving stuff and you're
like oh this is fun and then after like one or two days of moving stuff you're
like man I really want to do my job
again this is too much yeah I just realized I cannot sit still hey like I'm
watching myself on here and here I cannot like just stay still and I do my
problem is I pump my legs then I put my hands in my lap so the whole chat is
like why is he fapping cuz I just sit here shaking the whole time and my hands
are at so then every once in a while I have to just be like uh everything's
fine everything's fine I'm not doing anything it's weird being on this show
cuz you're just like when you watch it you're like oh they're talking to each
other and people but then when you're sitting here you're like oh I'm just talking to a camera with a little bit of
black tin foil on it it looks like it can't even see us oh man it's like it's
hiding so what what else do we have on this thing what else are we doing do we
doing basically it's just a chat just a chat just a chat just talking about what
was important this year it's already gone long too has it gone too long it's

there of mcau Kula there you go there you go is that all the important stuff
this year I think so I don't know what else people I keep seeing things people
always ask me the same questions one of them is do you have Dutch roots and I
always say yes my dad is from there and then they say do you speak Dutch and I
say no I don't and then they say what's on your tattoo and it says J Man and Dre
and then it's like a Dutch thing but it's in French so it's really confusing
to explain so I try not to explain it but then I I covered it all and then
something else but I can't remember there you go what about Taran taran's
too busy man he's busy he really is busy he told me he told me he was too busy I
would love to have Taran on here I'd love to have Ed on here but Ed is editing a super important thing that has
to go up and he I don't really want to bug him cuz I think he's too busy is
that right lus yeah they're I can't really bug him and then teran's really
busy too right yeah yeah okay so they're both too busy unfortunately I wanted to
have everyone on but Colton wasn't here and those two guys are too busy see hey
Nick I am

speak Dutch yeah but one of them yeah yeah yeah but one of them I think it
said super fun so maybe you said I watch super fun there you
go cool cool yeah cool that was fun yeah
I think I'm going to get out of here and go die I'm probably going to leave too
you feel sick yeah that Sushi made me feel so sick I ate too much and then I
was like when I was when I thought I was going up after John and I was like okay
I don't feel too well like I should bring this cup because if it has a
little bit of coffee in it but if I do have to throw up in a pinch right in the
cup that's an extra large that's fair it's like a liter of coffee that's a
fair amount of puke lader coffee if that overflows though it's going to be nice
