So many of you have asked us, where do we get our ideas from? Where do we get
the products that we make videos about? Well, today I'm going to be giving you
guys some insight. Welcome to a new segment we're going to be calling the
mail room. Not because you have to be male and not because it's necessarily a
room. It's more of a area, but
Tunnel Bear is the easytouse VPN service that lets you browse the internet as
though you're in one of 20 different countries. Check out the link in the
video description to try it now for
free. First up, the Prodigal Sun has
returned. The Seven Gamers 1 CPU rig is
back from our bros who helpfully put this made in
Canada sign on it. These are the BS mods guys and uh who
also No way. Oh wow. Oh
wow. Oh wow. Shots. Shots fired, you
guys. Shots fired. So, uh, we're going
to be challenging them to either a tech showdown or a scrapyard wars sometime
soon. And,
uh, it's on. It's on. Next up is some
pretty boring stuff. So, this is
apparently 40 yards of 50 yards of
medical, no, 100 yards of medical tape.
This box right here actually just arrived. This is all the unsold
merchandise from our District Lines t-shirt store. And you can tell uh which
was the least popular of all the designs we've ever done.
Edzel, I personally think it's adorable, but uh Masters of the Universe was not a
top selling design for us. So, we're going to have to find something to do with those. Uh we just got our sample of
the G410 Spectrum. So, that was sent to us by Logitech as well as the Corsair
Carbide 400C. And
this actually this is this is interesting. This is a shadow box for
mounting like a sports jersey or something. My wife intends to put her
old pharmacy lab coat as kind of like a
hearkening back to the good old days before she had to work with me all the
time type thing. You can get these pretty cheap on uh eBay. All right, this
next item is one that I have absolutely no idea
what's inside. I think someone else took a peek at it, but this was sent uh by
LG and uh they actually asked me at CES
if I had opened it and I kind of went uh yeah, I know I've had that for weeks,
but no, I have not opened it yet because I haven't had
time. Happy New Year, Lionus. Do you have any exciting plans at the beginning
of the year? How about experiencing your favorites like new? You are now the star
of the movie Ivonne 2. May the force be with you. What? That's
cryptic. We've got a container marked line of Sebastian.
Wow, that is um that is
uh wow that that is a thing.
No, I think the bases are aluminum.
Um, hey Von. So, um, check this out. LG
got us a gift. It's like uh Han Solo and
uh Princess Leia action figures with the
catch being that um they put your face on Princess Leia
and mine on Han Solo. So um
can I be your Han Solo? Han Solo.
Okay, I don't really have a choice. It's
done.
Mine looks a lot taller than that. Actually, no. If we stand next to each
other, we're pretty much the same height. Really?
Okay. Okay. And there's a gift inside.
Your favorite movies. Yes. Well, my favorite movies. Lionus
just made me watch all of them in the last month, I think, before we go and
see the the new one. We made you. Didn't you want to?
Wow. Wow. So many. But we haven't watched all
these bonus disc features.
We had not watched them. Look at all of those. It's like you're navigating to a
sweater and not trying them on. That is actually
creepily like similar. You guys are just
having a trouble.
Just smile. Okay, let's go back to the mail room.
Oh, okay. I'm a little jelly about that.
Well, I think we all know what the uh appropriate thing to do would be. I
think we need the rest of the cast. I want him as Greo.
Chewbacca. I'm down with Chewbacca. I'm super down with Chewbacca. Luke. Luke.
It's like BS Mods is all like all
talking smack. LG is all like, "Yo,
here's like the weirdest, coolest thing ever." Back to the mail room. So, this
is a uh 800 W redundant power supply
that I ordered for one of our servers. This is a box from NZXT that I have no
idea what's inside. Looks like a Kraken
X61. This is embarrassing. This is like
a modular headphone system with a bunch of different headbands and cables and
ear cups that I've had for literally months. This is Netgear's 28 port 10
gigabit switch, which I'm super stoked to upgrade the server room with. Now I
can do some trunking and link aggregation. Here's a couple
letters. Maybe fan mail.
iPhone parts. Oh, the new home button for my iPhone 4.
This is Care of MSSM and it's
handwritten. Dear Mr. Sebastian, my name is Ian and I'm a freshman at the main
school of science and mathematics. The purpose of this letter is a huge thank
you. About a year ago, I was bombing
around YouTube when I came across one of your videos. I became hooked. From then
on, my life has revolved around the amazing world that is modern technology.
Everything I have learned has come from one of your videos. However, there is
more to it than that. All of these and videos inspired me to focus harder on my
schoolwork. They even helped motivate me to apply here at MSSM. I began to be
more driven in the things that I enjoyed and in experiencing what I hadn't. When
it came time to build my gaming system, your archive of videos had all the
answers. though not an insane system. GTX 960, 8
gigs of RAM, i5 4460. It showed me that I could do anything if I just could do
anything. It just would not have happened if not for your videos. Even
though I'm only 15, I started a small computer repair business and build epic
custom systems. Once again, I owe it all to you. Sincerely, Ian. PS, I vote
turnip. That is so charming. Well, thank
you, Ian. It's always nice to uh to hear from
people that what we do is more than just sort of making a video
sometimes. Here, this is funny. Uh this is all the Sennheiser
gear that was supposed to appear in the music video for our Christmas album, but
that we ended up just using the microphone behind the scenes to record.
So, thank you Sennheiser for providing those. We we're going to send them back
anyway. Like, it's not a big deal. It's just Yeah, we never even opened the
boxes. Oh, awesome. First is some a new cable for
my IE80s. Really need that along with that
iPhone 4 button. This is cool. This is I think
this is for like a sponsor spot or something. But this is Apacer's world's
first dual interface
SSD open. So basically it has a SATA
interface on the one side and then it has USB 3 TypeC on the
other side. And then over here is finally the world's largest mouse pad.
We were kind of thinking of doing like another holy episode around this.
Let us know in the comments if you'd like to see us show off the uh the
Padzilla here. Oh yeah, and this is the
uh toilet paper that we so desperately need. 10 guys in a building.
seems a lot of toilet paper. Speaking of whatever it is I was talking about,
Ting.com. Ting is the mobile carrier that makes sense. And it's funny because
sense can be like sense like in your head and it can also be sense like in
your pocket. They build you only for what you use. And the whole thing is
totally transparent. So if you're like, "Gee, I wonder if TING would be a good
fit for me." All you have to do is head over to their website, which you can
visit at Linus.ing.com. We have that linked in the video
description and try out their savings calculator today. You enter your last
few bills. You know, the ones where you have to sort of look into your crystal
ball and figure out how many text messages you're going to send. And then
you look at your actual usage and you find out if TING would save you money.
And from the last numbers that I've seen, it was something ridiculous like
high 90% of people would save money by
switching to TING. And there's other advantages, too. If you call them, you
actually talk to a person. I have personally tested this there. You don't
get put through to an automated system or anything like that. You call and someone's like, "Hello." And you're
like,
"What? Hello? I would like to." It actually works. It's pretty crazy. So,
the cool thing is if you head over to the savings calculator and it looks like it's going to work by using our link,
you can get 25 bucks off of a new device or as a service credit. Pretty cool
stuff. So, thanks for watching, guys. If you enjoyed our mail room tour of kind
of what shows up here on a daily or weekly or some of the stuff's been
sitting here for a long time basis, then hit a hit a like. If you didn't like it
though, hit the dislike button. I've done my outro out of order now. So,
something something. You can support us by buying a cool shirt like this one by
contributing directly on our community forum where also you don't have to contribute, but you can just get answers
about your computer questions or simply by shopping at Amazon using our
affiliate link. The instructions for how to do so are up at the video little eye
thing in the corner up there. I think that's pretty much it. If you're looking
for something else to watch, we've got what I personally think is about as good
as it gets. Ultimate rundown of the HTC Vive versus the Oculus Rift based on
what we saw at CES this year. So, check that video out at the little eye in the
corner up there if you're curious about VR and which option, however expensive
they might be, is going to be best for you.
