it's finally done the LMG land center and employee lounge is finished
just in time for us to need to dismantle it and move it upstairs we
have more construction happening but um you know what we're gonna enjoy it while
we can and i'm gonna take you guys on the
deluxe grand tour wait am i allowed to say grand tour you know what it doesn't
matter let's go oh wait after this word from our sponsor

Linus
man guys this project has been so long in the works that i don't even know
where to begin or where to end so let's start
at the beginning this is in fact platform nine and three quarters uh Jake
was in charge of all the signage for the lounge so if you guys like it then mad
props to him oh did you help fawn
oh did you do all of it okay harry potter what's wrong with
harry potter it's so nerdy i assumed it was Jake
oh you did pick the art oh okay so my assumption was then not
that incorrect so guys there's the stuff that's done now which is everything that
we promised in the original plan and then there's the future plan so we've
actually got a server cabinet sitting here for maybe
maybe no guarantees because we had some issues with our last multi-users uh one
CPU project but maybe we're gonna switch
all the gaming machines over to like like i don't know blade servers or
something or like virtualized machines and then we'll run like 100 gig
networking over to the server room or something probably not but for now we
had nowhere else to put this thing so that's where it goes we have finally
done all the artwork for the back of the land
center right here including this is freaking awesome so this was a joint
project uh Jake alex if i recall correctly matthias
and lloyd all contributed to this so it's an RGB backlit LTT logo we had
actually intended to do something a little bit bigger but uh this was as big
as our cnc router goes anyway so
hey there you go um next up is of course the gaming pc so
it's finally finished the 12 person lan
setup i had originally wanted 16 but i got talked into 12. it's pretty darn
awesome and these are about as good as it gets except for there have actually
been some recent changes to what qualifies as
the best hardware out there in the last little bit but that's okay this was the
best we could get at the time anyway i cannot figure out how to open this door
did this one move why is it not opening
so we did a stream building these things a little while back and we covered all
the specs there but i don't blame you guys for not watching that it was about four hours long but this is pretty much
as good as makes sense so not as good as it gets
but pretty freaking awesome so for our monitors we went with
pg 279 qs these are 2560 by 1440 144
hertz g-sync displays freaking awesome experience we've got
logitech's brio 4k for our webcams so anyone who wants to come in here and
stream after work i know Colton has actually already done a couple lists
you've already done a couple streams from here right how'd that go for you
other than when i disconnected your Ethernet cable in the middle of it right
yeah yeah that's cool so that's the only problem with streaming from here for our
peripherals we've gone full logitech because let's face it they make freaking
awesome stuff so most of them i believe are equipped with gpro wirelesses which
is are they all g pro wireless fantastic then for our keyboards we've gone with
their g513 with their romer g switches
our headsets we actually have a variety of headsets but this one is a g933
for the systems themselves we actually ended up going with ryzen
2700 x's because
the reality of it is guys our crystal ball wasn't any better than anyone
else's and we didn't know that ryzen 3rd gen was going to be such a punch in the
chops for the entire rest of the industry if we'd known we probably would
have put this off another six weeks but hey that's what happens when you get a
new pc you win some you lose some we also ended up with rtx 2070s from ASUS
rather than the new super ones because once again we got blindsided there
hooking us up with the rest of the internals of our machines it's pretty
much the Corsair show we do have an ASUS tough b450m plus gaming motherboard but
we are cooled by Corsair we've got RGB memory courtesy of Corsair our case is
our Corsair and of course the RGB
lighting including their gorgeous light
loop fans which are a key component of any gaming system are
well there's nothing more Corsair than a case full of RGB fans at this point in
time i don't think for the finishing touches see sonic
hooked us up with thousand watt power supplies totally overkill but whatever c
sonic it's cool anyway and cablemod gave
us their cable extensions so they'll all look straight up legit
speaking of legit not everyone is that into pc gaming so and a really important
thing for us when we created the lounge was to make sure that everyone would
have something to do oh these are the microphones by the way for streaming
these are blue yeti nanos nano right
and we've got a huge collection of board games i've actually only had a chance to
play a small handful of these but this azul game is actually surprisingly fun
my son had an absolute blast with that one to the point where i'm kind of bored
of it now but he still really likes it funnily enough though the pc land
portion of the lounge hasn't been the most popular one
it's actually the console gaming section that has been getting most of the
attention so this up here is one of elune vision's 4k reference screens and
it does more than just super flat and give you a great image
honestly guys this looks kind of washed out but that is not fair and not
representative we have filming lights set up in the room it looks fantastic
even with the lights on in other parts of the room normally but the really cool
trick is that you can actually retract the whole thing
and it will reveal a 120 hertz 4k
omen gaming display from hp
if 60 hertz is not enough for you
i'm so sorry taryn i had to show the feature i'm putting it back now
the sound system was graciously provided by clips we've got a
5.1.2 sound system hooked up to our sony
receiver that sounds absolutely fantastic whether you're watching movies
my wife and i actually came here late one night on a weekend hung out watch
the movie it was freaking awesome or
you're playing games on the playstation 4 pro or xbox one x
now one of the key components of any console gaming setup is of course
controllers so we've got our nintendo switch down here skinned by dbrand by
the way massive thanks to dbrand for that and
a way to manage all of our input devices
so this was set up by Jake and
the skinned controllers were graciously provided by dbrand but for our
playstation 4 pro we've got four controllers on these really
convenient like quick connect charging pads here one pro tip by the way guys if
you value your controllers let them charge
then put them aside because you don't want the batteries to sit being fully
charged all the time and we've got four controllers for the xbox one x we've got
our vive controllers with this handy dandy check this out so did you find
this on thingiverse Jake thingiverse so Jake found this on
thingiverse and it's just a 3d printed holster for your vive controllers where
you can put the original cables in here and then just slot them in in order to
charge them pretty freaking sick finally
of course guys we've got a full eight
controller set up for the switch so if we want to get some eight player smash
going in here in the future that'll be totally an option
next up we've got the gaming desk so this is where apparently Jake is ripping
open a pack of cards to pretend to play gophers does it look like we're doing
things you can't play you can't play go fish with a fresh deck uh this is the pizza
that i bribed everyone with to come in and be here so that uh
on a is it all gone well a bunch of people showed up and
they didn't say they were coming of course of course the one with the spinach is
the one that everyone leaves for me thanks guys also finally fixed is the arcade machine
that Anthony built i think has one of his first long-term projects here
atlantis media group at least it's mostly fixed okay this one
still needs a probably an afternoon of work or so but
that's where it goes in the layout then over here we've got the counter where
people are expected to microwave their food take it to the table eat it and
nothing more and never leave any garbage here we will see how long that lasts our
final finishing touch is of course our madrina's refrigerator
that no offense to madrinas but this thing isn't great um it's pretty
loud we're probably going to get rid of it at some point now i was going to skip over it but Jake
insisted that i mention the projector now we actually did a sponsored video on
this thing this is viewsonics 4k but like
not really using the true 4k
texas instruments chipset it's like using pixel shift to kind of upscale it
or something and we weren't that impressed with it at the time but what
we've realized is that the problem was just that we were pointing it at an
inflatable screen so it didn't really look that great in this setup we've been
really really impressed with it did we just blow a breaker
i told them they're all plugged into the same circuit what you guys are why would
you do that
okay there's still some things for us to for us to sort out here
anyway we've been really impressed with this thing it looks really sharp and the
input leg is not that bad like i remember it wasn't that long ago that
playing games on a projector was absolutely not a thing but it's been
quite enjoyable on here and people have been playing a lot of smash
actually in the interest of fairness here we should turn off these lights and show
you guys what it looks like when it's actually dark man that looks
how to refill good ink how do i do it the last piece of course is the ping
pong table but um
due to the forest of lights that we have
over here to light this area up and shoot this video we can't really have it
deployed uh usually it's intended to be more like dark and
you know man cavey but uh
hey we got to make videos too right the new force b sport three ear buds
feature 10 hours of battery life a 10 meter bluetooth range durable
construction with metal and polycarbonate materials an ipx5 rating
so they're workout ready with sweat and water resistance they support aac and
aptx for better sound quality and their twin blade spin fit ear tips mean you
should be able to get a perfect fit they come in gunmetal gray or rose gold and
for the month of july and the first week of august they're just 34.90 instead of
59 on amazon check them out at the link in the video description so huge thanks
for watching guys and a big thanks to everyone who made this project possible
i'm gonna try and list them all but i don't stand a chance so Jake and Yvonne
were the biggest contributors from our team of course everyone helped at some
stage or another because we had to build all these pcs move all these couches it
was a crazy long project and then from there oh man you got AMD ASUS Corsair
they were absolutely instrumental uh d brand uh logitech logitech was
absolutely huge c sonic was a huge
sponsor for this who else was like really heavily
involved if i can only name the biggest ones clips yeah that audio system is
freaking awesome guy called out Corsair
and of course you guys for being patient with us as we've worked on this whole
thing and then uh are gonna be patient with us again as we
move the whole thing upstairs and then we'll probably do a tour again it wouldn't be it wouldn't be the stupidest
thing we've ever done so if you guys disliked it you can hit that button but if you liked it hit like get subscribed
or maybe consider checking out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link in
the video description that is going to be quite a chore Jake getting links for
all this stuff in the video description i think we do also down there is our
merch store which has cool shirts like this one and our community forum which
you should totally join
