oh 1 minute early holy cow it's almost
0:05
like we have taken organizational pills
0:10
and uh I don't know where Slick's going he's apparently the totally drunk oh no
0:15
don't don't oh wait right white balance we can do that okay good do the
0:20
thing they're all going to be like yeah
0:23
what tune in for tech chat one and a
0:27
half hours of a white piece of paper woo
0:30
okay that's worse is that worse yeah don't worry about it it's
0:35
okay okay give me a sec it's all right
0:38
are we on yeah we're on hi hi everybody they can't hear you
0:43
you're behind the shotgun mik uh we up when I talked yeah I no no I know hello
0:47
hello hello they can definitely hear me yeah they can hear you I know you know what why don't I go make sure the
0:51
stream's actually working this week for those of you who joined us last week
0:55
you'll remember this for those of you who didn't this will be a pretty
0:58
hilarious story uh last week we actually
1:01
talked for about half an hour before we
1:05
realized that um our our broadcast was
1:09
not actually on so this week we are
1:13
going through the uh the the precautionary measure that is to
1:17
actually check that we are indeed broadcasting because uh xits being a
1:23
tool and um uh oh our black magic
1:27
intensity Pro cards are being tools and
1:32
yet again um so yeah we're like done with these does anyone want to buy a
1:35
pair of Blackmagic intensity Pro capture cards HDMI capture uh does analog
1:41
capture as well don't we still need it for dual cam unboxings no we don't even
1:45
use it we just go on SD cards now y let's
1:49
let's do a quick discussion of uh the new system that is going to be used for
1:54
unboxings actually I think I uploaded the last of the ones with the gibbled
1:58
audio and uh we are we are no long okay
2:02
what we were trying to do was we were trying to use xsplit as a capture so we
2:05
were doing what's called live to tape so we had two cameras and then I was using
2:10
a switcher to switch actually here I was using this exact switcher to switch
2:14
between scenes and xsplit as we went so
2:17
I'd go blah blah blah something up close click and I was like oh this is so cool
2:22
now we can switch to the closeup camera it's awesome you know what it's the stupidest thing ever because I okay
2:27
xplit has other advantages like we were able to use it to make slight
2:31
corrections to the color between the two cameras to make sure that they both look
2:35
as close as possible um so that was cool but the problem is that xplit does
2:41
a couple of things number one it outputs FLV files which are ridiculous because
2:46
nothing works with them number two is it outputs a variable frame rate you hear
2:52
that xplit developers no
2:58
bad no so variable frame rate does a couple of
3:02
really cool things uh number one is it U
3:07
just has a hissy fit if you import it into certain video editing programs even
3:12
to do something as simple as cut out slick uttering a swear word in the
3:16
middle of me trying to film an unboxing what really no no I'm just oh okay I was
3:21
like when was that um so if you want to cut something out big problem you want
3:26
to do anything big problem number two is
3:29
the audio e syncs because like there was
3:32
one that I uploaded three times and I think the viewers were super mad because
3:37
they were like w they can't even fix audio synch you know what I can't fix
3:41
the audio synchronization when it red desyncs every like half a minute of
3:46
footage so I was just like okay this is the best I can do I uploaded it and that
3:50
was it that was all I could do um so that's like uh to even edit really
3:55
really really simple things we'd have to transcode it which is just like why and
3:59
takes a long time it takes a long time it your whole computer lowers the
4:03
quality and it's just like why did I have to do that so so anyway the new
4:08
system is we just um do a dual cam setup
4:13
where both of the people are assuming that they recording oh oh xsplit also
4:17
borked our audio because we couldn't monitor the audio properly because of
4:23
the way that xplit works which meant that um we got a clipping in like eight
4:29
unboxing that we filmed all at the same time and the magic of unboxings is we
4:33
don't get to Rebox stuff like it's it's
4:36
once it's done it's done what you got oh
4:39
yeah that that oh yeah the other thing and this was kind of our bad is wait
4:43
well no this was okay these I'm I'm explaining how we sync the audio now in
4:48
the new videos oh right so with two cameras how do you make sure that the ab
4:53
sync is correct so slick go ahead and explain this high technology device that
4:57
they've probably never heard of before well I don't know some people I'm just
5:02
trolling at the beginning of the video both the cameras start rolling at different times oh I didn't even explain
5:07
yet so we're just recording to SD yeah
5:10
and then we drop it in Premiere and you can just split switch between cameras
5:13
that way rather than trying to do a live to tape thing because then whoever's
5:17
editing it can just make decisions about which camera to go to so audio sync um
5:23
I'll explain the really cool thing in Premiere that you were trying to explain
5:27
in more depth in a second but at the beginning we don't exactly start
5:31
recording at the same time Diesel and I so lineus will go like this I'm not
5:36
going to actually Let It Drop because I don't know how long loud that's going to come through but it makes a really loud
5:40
clicking noise and everyone goes quiet before and after it so when the editor
5:44
goes in you can line up that instead of just trying to eyeball the shots because
5:48
you just try and Eyeball the shots it'll never be perfect and that was the problem we were trying to fix audio sync
5:53
issues without any reference point and with a variable frame rate that very
5:59
depending like when you dropped it into Premiere like Vegas just freaked when
6:03
you tried to put the footage in it just wouldn't accept it and then premere
6:07
would average out the frame rate of the entire Clips you'd get a you'd get a
6:11
file that's 28.5 three FPS and you're
6:15
just like huh what what so we go we
6:18
check our xplit settings we're like
6:22
what what is this Foody magic anyways yeah we're learning uh diesel was
6:26
showing me and I still am getting used to Premiere because I'm used to like
6:31
Noob level Vegas but um diesel was
6:34
showing me this thing where you input both video files and then there's a
6:37
window on the right that'll show you both playing and then there's a red box around whatever one you have selected
6:42
and you just bind One camera to one and the other camera to two and whenever you
6:45
want to switch you just do it on your keyboard so it's what he had to do live
6:49
but no longer live and from a third person view so it's super easy and way
6:54
more clean and the color correction we've actually got the cameras tuned
6:58
pretty close now whereas we were having a lot of trouble getting the colors
7:03
right I don't know if you guys remember back when we did the um Tokyo FL Japan
7:08
watch that was the first time we used the fs700 as an aam and the xa10 as a
7:13
bcam which was the wrong approach anyway because the XA 10 should be the lock
7:17
shot and the fs700 should be the up close one because it's so gorgeous and
7:22
um something something keep going I have a phone call uh yes you are live on the lius
7:28
tech tips show
7:36
hello that was anticlimactic hello it is
7:40
continuously anticlimactic you're watching and you're
7:44
drunk who is this yeah seriously who is
7:50
this you're in Iowa all right well apparently we have our very first live
7:54
caller so hold on hold on just a
7:57
minute all right sorry um wait I'm just
8:00
going to turn up my speaker phone here okay can I get your name
8:06
sir I'm
8:11
sorry who is this I don't know do do you
8:15
have a tech
8:23
question I think he's very very intoxicated I think he is quite
8:28
intoxicated okay you know what sir we're we're going to have to try this again
8:31
sometime when you're feeling a little bit more up to it but uh thank thank
8:34
thank you for calling in to Linus Tech tips um so to be clear guys this is not
8:39
a Sports Talk radio show and if you call into a show it's kind of a known thing
8:43
that you don't listen to the show anymore because it's obviously going to
8:46
be at different times so you kind of need to focus on the call so that
8:50
everyone watching the show can actually understand what you're trying to say so I think what happened is he was one of
8:54
the uh 140 or so viewers who caught a
8:58
video that I upload loed that had my phone number in it so um I'd appreciate
9:03
if you guys don't call that number it is my cell phone I do get build for those
9:08
calls so uh there you go but why don't we dive into some Twitter questions
9:12
having gone through that random experience and here we go 37 new
9:18
interactions techx says I am lucky I was
9:22
able to catch this I've been trying to get Windows to work since yesterday finally fixed it two minutes ago all
9:27
right rapid storage technology actually is a bit of a nightmare to deal with
9:31
sometimes because you install it once and then everything seems to work and
9:35
then if you change anything and reboot it's just like nope I don't want to do
9:41
anything I quit yeah and it just it can be quite
9:46
when it's working it's great because everything just kind of works you can
9:50
hot plug everything and what do you want
9:53
about he wants Twitter stuff all right all right all right uh I spent three
9:56
hours watching cat videos while waiting for midnight and did you know crazy
10:00

11:42
visit his channel comment on his videos tell him Lina sent you and that you
11:45
enjoy his dancing uh Zachary asks best use for
11:49
Home Server I use mine to store my data
11:52
and to stream transcoded videos to my portable devices in fact I mentioned
11:56
this in my last I switched video where I'm doing my 30 days of Windows Phone 8
12:03
which is okay postpone my update is ready to be installed evidently um one
12:08
sec what do you want to aboute reading a comment this is
12:12
public huh someone said make sure you post a video saying it's live oh it's
12:17
possible that it's was still publishing to everyone uh what was I talking about
12:21
oh right yeah so I found a substitute for air video which is called uh cloud
12:26
with a que so you can go to your server
12:30
and then you can you know go to your videos and you can browse your videos so
12:35
what happens is my Home Server uses its CPU power to transcode the video into
12:40
something um something uh smaller so
12:45
that it's easy to beam to you whether it's over regular Wi-Fi or over your
12:49
cellular data okay looking to upgrade
12:52
from a 6770 with a 669 TI maxing out at
12:56
720p yes did you really just shrug a 660
13:01
at 720p why is he running 720p yeah why are you running 720p
13:06
that's my shrug upgrade your monitor no it's
13:10
possible he has an older HDTV and maybe it's a media PC sir post
13:16
this on the Forum this is more interesting yeah post it on the lonus tech tips Forum we need more details
13:21
yeah we need more details vid is choppy I know uh we yeah we can kind of see it
13:27
like there's a little bit of chop tastic to it honestly I don't think there's anything we can do about it because the
13:31
black magic was just causing outright crashes so dropped 71 frames never seen
13:36
that before yeah we're dropping frames I don't know it's bizarre um sorry we
13:41
don't really do like autographs um just
13:44
because we're actually not that cool I mean you can send something to slick and
13:49
he can autograph it for you slick actually here can you auto here slick
13:54
can you autograph my case for me I would never touch that case with anything that
13:58
would make a mark on it so guys my tj07
14:03
has arrived I'm actually not done
14:06
putting it back together yet but you know do you want to go operate the
14:10
camera yeah they can't see the wrinkle yeah they can't see the black wrinkle finish so here we're going to do a bit
14:14
of a segment here where I'm uh going to
14:17
talk about my black wrinkle coded tj7 okay so the first thing I'd like to
14:22
address is people have asked me why
14:25
would you strip and repaint your tj07 in
14:29
instead of just buying a new case Okay so a couple reasons number one is that
14:32
the tj7 is my favorite case and my wife gave me this one uh back when we were
14:36
dating uh number two is that think about
14:40
the cost so I spent $250 powder coating
14:43
it I spent about 150 or 100 and something uh stripping it in the first
14:48
place to get it powder coated and so people are like oh well it's so much
14:52
work and you could just buy a new case and I'm like okay yes it's so much work
14:56
but a new T t07 costs around 350 50
14:59
bucks plus then I'd have to powder coat it now we're looking at $600 whereas I
15:05
spent $450 or 500 bucks so there that's
15:09
one reason also people are like oh all the modifications you have to do to this
15:12
case like cable management holes and well mostly the cable management holes
15:17
you wouldn't have to do that on a newer case and I'm like well yeah but I don't like a newer case as much as I like the
15:22
tj07 and so if I bought another tj07 I
15:26
would just have to do all those Cable Management holes and stuff like that
15:29
anyway so that is why I decided to go this route okay so let's have a look at
15:33
the finish uh Mountain mods did make a couple small mistakes but overall I'm
15:37
still pleased with the result so you want to zoom in have a look so this is
15:43
the black wrinkle and slicks working on the focus so that you guys can actually
15:47
see what I'm talking about oh yes there we go as George te would say oh my so
15:55
rather than the anodized finish that comes stock on this case we now have
15:59
kind of a textured look that is extremely resilient so it's not uh not
16:05
subject to damage very easily from sort
16:08
of random random scuffs when you're you know routing cables around and things
16:13
like that I'm just going to I want to zoom out a little bit so they can sort
16:16
of see it overall so cable Management's going to be done I have all uh not
16:21
individually but two wires per sleeve done wires so they're going to come out
16:25
around the board this way um I still
16:28
still haven't decided if I'm going to live stream the actual building of it
16:32
yet because it's kind of a pain to
16:35
coordinate live streaming it especially because I'll be kind of working at it
16:39
working on it all hours of night let me do a focus on the BL yeah yeah yeah
16:42
don't worry that's why I'm bringing this over here I've also got those of you who follow me on Twitter will know about
16:47
this so I've also got the block mounted on the board so I haven't quite decided
16:52
if I'm going to go permanently with the crucial ballistics Tracer memory that's
16:55
in here now but that's what the goldplated Apple HD with the black
17:00
wrinkle painted hold down so that'll actually match the finish of the inside
17:05
of the case those are bit Phenix um
17:08
goldplated compression fittings those are your 58 OD 38 ID H Phoenix did I say
17:15
bit Phoenix I meant bits power sorry bit Phoenix doesn't make uh compression
17:18
fittings and then uh so that is going to go in there got my uh got big plans got
17:24
a lot of stuff going on lot of stuff
17:27
going on I get to be the deci about this particular computer here so that's
17:33
exciting finally making some progress I'm hoping to have a desktop computer
17:38
for the first time since slick and I have been working together um on my desk
17:44
sometime in the next I don't know what do you think can I get it done in a
17:48
week uh maybe maybe we have a busy week
17:53
I know like a really busy week I know that's the only reason why I'm saying
17:57
maybe I'm not saying like oh you can't do it like I just think we're really
18:00
busy um and you have other
18:04
preoccupations yeah I know I have to work a Saturday which kind of sucks yeah
18:10
but whatever so here I've got something you
18:13
apparently wanted to talk about while I look for something to talk about ah yes
18:18
here excited so slick needs to borrow my
18:21
PlayStation 3 that I have used exactly one time when I had that Street Fighter
18:26
tournament with Tom the ncx artist
18:29
okay so a lot of people are going to be like why the heck not there why why the
18:34
heck is slick excited for a PS3 yeah why are you excited about a PS3 that's a
18:37
console okay um you almost smell worse
18:41
already just cuz the PS3 is here no just cuz you don't shower often
18:46
what jerk anyways um so a lot of you probably know
18:51
what Eve is the big spaceship game um in
18:56
that there's tons of different styles of combat and huge Wars constantly going on
19:01
anyways the CCP the guys who make Eve just finished developing a game called
19:05
Dust 514 Dust 514 is a first-person
19:08
shooter game that is going to integrate with Eve so the idea is that you're
19:13
still inside the eve universe but you are mercenaries that will fight on
19:17
planetary surfaces so oh excited for
19:21
that um like big corporations or little guys or whatever can hire you out as
19:27
mercenaries to attack different targets and fight in an FPS game being hired by
19:33
people in the spaceship game you look a lot bigger than me can you move
19:38
back there we go that's better still a lot bigger than you yeah I know whatever
19:42
I it up why don't you just talk about your play um but unfortunately it's only
19:48
on freaking PlayStation cccp they're a PC developer
19:54
make it for PC what are you doing it's a free to-play game so I don't have to
19:58
invest in anything into it which is nice but like okay what here's my
20:03
speculation I okay okay here I've been saying for a while that one of the
20:07
reasons that modern games are kind of
20:11
like easier is because you have to compensate for stuff that we didn't used
20:15
to so LCD TVs have way higher input leg compared to CRT TVs the Mario argument
20:19
yeah um yeah the mar the Mario thing that we've talked about before um any
20:24
game that relies on an internet connection that goes beyond even your
20:29
own your own internet connection might be fine but if it relies on someone else
20:32
with a 250 millisecond ping the game
20:35
just has to be dumbed down so here's my speculation because the eve universe is
20:40
so large and so inherently probably
20:44
latency ridden easy to run yeah but it
20:47
doesn't matter if it's easy to run because it's a latency issue not a bandwidth is due to Graphics being so
20:51
far away it's not hard to run there isn't really that much latency problems in you okay but if it okay so there
20:56
aren't latency problems from of course there's latency problems a flying
21:00
perspective but if it was a twitch firstperson shooter like a counter
21:04
shooter you can interface with the other Universe yes you're not in the other
21:09
Universe oh you're not in the other it's own game it's on a PS3 it's not the same
21:13
engine okay I thought it was within the
21:17
other Universe I don't think somehow I don't think so I think they'll probably
21:21
I'm certain they'll talk to each other of course they have to in some way but
21:24
they're not actually the exact same thing okay that would be insane so it's
21:31
free to play if nothing is it free to play permanently I honestly this is a
21:35
lot of stuff that I picked up very quickly off of a website that I just
21:38
kind of skimmed so I read freeo playay
21:41
um apparently the financials that you're dealing with is isk and arum isk is well
21:47
the game was developed in Iceland so isk is Icelandic money but isk in the game
21:52
is just normal money AUM is money that you can put into the game um but they're
21:57
saying it's not a p win I think right now the RM is only going to be used for
22:01
cosmetic changes which is fine I have no problem with that okay people will buy
22:06
it anyway though yep for some reason uh Eve when they first introduced this had
22:11
like really really expensive stuff like
22:15
$25 jackets and like a lot of really
22:20
expensive stuff like monol that you could buy that were like super uber
22:23
expensive here's a debate for you um
22:28
is it okay okay like you and I would probably sit privately and talk about
22:33
how it's crazy to buy an in-game customization thing for your character I
22:37
have though you have okay see this I didn't know but I would argue it is
22:41
crazy but I have okay I would argue that it's not any different from buying a
22:45
cool hoodie to wear which is why honestly I have my favorite character in
22:50
Eve I have every oh favorite character in League of Legends there we go
22:54
completely different game I have every single skin for I didn't buy all those a
22:58
couple of them were gifted to me but I think I bought like two and like I've
23:02
played if you think about it over the course of playing that character I've played like before they changed
23:07
everything because now you can't track the amount of losses and wins per
23:11
character in all of your games really you used to be able to now it's only
23:15
ranked why would they take that out I don't know it's really annoying actually
23:18
there might be some weird funky way to do it externally from the game but not internally anyways before they took that
23:22
out so pre-season one we're now in I think season three or four I don't
23:27
really follow that much anymore but preseason one I had like 1400 games
23:30
played and each game is like half an hour so I had tons of time poured into
23:37
this don't don't figure it out don't
23:40
figure it out I'm doing it okay
23:44
so400 games games okay so times
23:49
30 is okay 42,000 minutes divided by 60
23:55
is 700 hours k ID
24:00
24 is you spent literally an entire
24:04
month of time that sounds about right actually yeah like an entire month of
24:09
time actually like in matches then so
24:13
not counting launching the game wait yes
24:16
I would that would cuz I'm thinking well I'm sing off my xfire time for a quick
24:20
second oh okay cuz my xfire time is absurd but I would idle it for like a
24:23
day so it didn't really right I used to
24:26
play a lot I used to be really good I'm not really good anymore kind of trash
24:30
now but whatever um actually you're good at some things that's not
24:34
fair um what was I going to say yeah so I bought skins for that but then I
24:38
played it so much right that it was like whatever so you justify it that way yeah
24:42
I wanted to it to look cool it's a free-to-play game if I'm only putting
24:45
that much money in and I used it for that amount of time like that's fine I
24:50
don't care all right DJs joining in from
24:53
new jisy tuning in live for the first time from the UK next to con will they
24:59
raise the hardware Market back to expensive levels for example RAM is way
25:04
cheaper than years ago um you know what
25:08
the PC industry does this to itself where it keep like H they just kill
25:13
margins they just well what okay the consumer says over and over again more
25:18
Choice more Choice more Choice more competitors but I would argue that in
25:23
some ways it can actually hurt the consumer so I know you don't like this
25:27
argument but we we're going down this path whether you like it or not um
25:31
here's an example if there was two players in the
25:37
market and let's say they were both extremely principled and believed in
25:41
building the highest quality widget okay they both believed in
25:46
building the highest quality widget let's say one of them had 70% market
25:49
share and one of them had 30% market share and one of them you know tried to do more promotions or do do whatever
25:54
else but but but by and large they
25:57
didn't sort of bow to shareholder pressure to increase their revenues x
26:03
amount percent year-over-year do whatever else they need to do but they
26:06
they believed in building the best widget and making a decent margin let's
26:09
say competitors C or D or e or F or G
26:13
all pile into this market and make cheap ripoffs all of a sudden those first two
26:18
guys have to compromise the quality they
26:22
have to this is a new angle in this argument that I have to agree with and
26:26
we talked about this a little while ago when we were talking about this case we
26:30
don't want to go way too in we can screw it tj07 we both believe that it's pretty
26:35
much the best case ever made um I mean
26:39
there might be a couple notable exceptions You could argue Charles's Mark 2 or Mark II or whatever it's
26:43
called which is just an iteration of the tj07 is better in some ways it's not
26:48
better for my purposes it can't hold enough drives for one thing uh it's very
26:52
limited in terms of I'm still expecting to be using this case 5 years from now I
26:56
don't know what Hardware is going to look like I don't know if it fits in the way he's done his cable management so
27:00
there there's all that stuff very specific um you could argue the tj11 is
27:03
better because it has more features it's newer I wouldn't necessarily agree that
27:08
it's better I still like this one more though and the form factor is nicer
27:11
because it's not quite so huge yeah but anyway we both agree that it's better
27:15
and even this case so this case is what it must be like six seveny old design
27:19
now might even be more than that because they have a new iteration even yeah it's
27:24
it's an old design uh so there so there's that and even this case has been
27:31
downgraded because things like metal are
27:34
still on the Ryzen terms of costs they're not going to get cheaper the
27:38
actual amount that a consumer is willing to pay I mean when you can buy a bit
27:43
Phoenix MC for
27:46
$30 I think fewer people are going to drop 300 on a tj07 now you could argue
27:51
that's a different customer however you could also go okay just because a
27:55
customer has $300 to blow on their computer doesn't mean they drop it on
27:59
their case maybe they put it into their
28:02
video card maybe they decide okay well you know case doesn't matter because a
28:06
great computer these days costs only around 1,200 bucks so why am I blowing a
28:11
ton of why am I going to spend 3 400 on a really nice case right because that's
28:14
25% of your budget now whereas when you were spending $22,000 to get an awesome
28:18
gaming machine $300 for a case didn't seem like such a crazy thing okay but I
28:23
mean you can make the argument that it's good for prices to decline it's good for
28:26
consumers to get more more performance for their dollar this um this comes in
28:31
with almost every Market too we're not even just saying PCS like like if you
28:35
just look at jeans how denim changed over the years current denim like if you
28:39
go by Levis current denim is not at the same quality that it used to be y it's
28:44
just like it's weird to think about that like back when shoes were handmade when
28:49
you compare that to Nikes that you had to spend $100 on I mean do people buy
28:52
Nikes anymore I don't know but in the '90s anyway when I was a kid I'm 100%
28:56
sure Nikes are still popular the point is that when when what is it cobbler
29:01
cobbler yeah yeah when a cobbler made shoes out of leather and like stitched
29:06
with hide like those things were meant to last for years bolts in your soul
29:11
like they were heavy they were uncomfortable but but they were built
29:15
they built they durable and whatever so there's less incentive for the
29:19
manufacturers to keep iterating on products that that are inherently
29:22
expensive to manufacture so even this case has been downgraded since I bought
29:26
it this Bend right here is a perfect curve for me on the newer versions of
29:31
the case there's a fold and then a fold
29:34
it's subtle but it's there if you look on the inside rather than bending it out
29:38
right uh Silverstone now scores it twice
29:42
in order to get that uh almost a perfect not quite a perfect curve I think that
29:47
streamlines the production process because it makes it easier to do and I
29:50
think it also makes it more likely that the side panels will fit from case to
29:54
case early TJ 07s you could take the side panels off one and put put them on
29:58
another one they just wouldn't even fit cuz it was like custom done pretty much
30:02
yeah um so I don't remember where we
30:06
were going with that oh yeah will the hardware will Hardware get more
30:09
expensive again I I doubt it I seriously doubt it but then cuz oh right cuz all
30:13
the PC guys they just you have competitors a b CDE e f and g all
30:18
driving price down because they have to hit Revenue targets and the only way to
30:22
do that is to drop the price if you can
30:25
sell it for half as much I mean and you guys can go oh well they have they have
30:29
so much margin they make so much money no they don't HX went out of business
30:34
kimand went out of business there's no money in RAM like what are you crazy you
30:39
can see what the margins are they're all public companies there's no money in it
30:43
when they drop their price and sell it below their manufacturing cost they are
30:47
dropping their price and selling below their manufacturing cost and when they
30:50
sell below their manufacturing cost for something that costs billions in R&D for
30:56
every new process Noe shink think about
31:00
that yeah they have to ship like
31:04
containers on containers of this stuff and it's RAM and when you're at a loss
31:08
you don't get to make it up in volume anymore so so yeah no I I I don't know
31:14
but they do it to themselves time and time and time again so I don't think
31:18
they'll learn uh got up at 6:00 a.m.
31:22
yeah Chris wants to know if we're live yet yes no no no we're not here no we're
31:27
not here go away y have you heard about this no I should
31:32
have had this on the news I didn't when I saw him say that I was like oh yeah oh
31:38
that should have been on the news Well portal basically was a movie portal
31:41
would make a sweet movie and half they're both pretty much movies yeah
31:45
pretty much so like do it I'm stoked I
31:49
actually like um you bull as the Director uh wasn't it uh no no I mean I
31:55
think he should be oh
32:03
yeah um I think I think he's talking to JJ Abrams legitimately I think he's
32:09
talking to J.J Abrams I read that down for that yeah no like seriously that
32:13
would be sweet that would be freaking awesome and it's Gabe nle if he really
32:16
wants JJ Abrams he can probably get JJ
32:19
Abrams like probably eat JJ
32:23
ABS no I like Gabe me too
32:28
okay douche he's still
32:32
fat what was I going to say I had something to say he's
32:35
brilliant one of my favorite Visionaries of our time he's crazy you got to watch
32:41
that presentation eats babies you got to watch his business
32:45
presentation it's really all right James asks do you think
32:50
that current games or those coming out will be able to fully utilize The
32:54
increased power of the GTX 700 series gpus
32:58
um okay well let's tie this into a couple things if you guys don't already
33:01
know about it basically go buy an AMD graphics card right now uh what games
33:06
are they doing so they have another never subtle bundle for 7900 series you
33:11
get Crisis 3 and Bioshock BioShock
33:14
Infinite and for 7,800 series you get
33:18
BioShock Infinite and Tomb Raider so my understanding is BioShock Infinite is
33:22
supposed to be not a steaming pile of um
33:25
it's a game complete revamp BioShock 2
33:28
was Bioshock one I loved BioShock 2 I made it through like 10 minutes and I
33:32
was just like this is stupid because of him I played Bioshock one and even
33:36
though I have it just nope not playing BioShock 2 no it's not worth it I just
33:40
don't want to ruin it for myself so I'm super stoked on BioShock Infinite I hope
33:44
I'm cautiously optimistic I wouldn't pre-order it after my I pre-ordered
33:47
BioShock 2 for those of you who don't know that um but I'm super stoked on
33:52
infinite and Crisis 3 I am just like
33:56
awesome oh I'm so I'm so excited about
34:00
they' continuously released quality yep y I mean crisis was awesome crisis is
34:05
one of the few FPS games that I've actually played all the way through a
34:08
reasonably long story mode campaign yeah just CU mostly I kind of lose patience
34:12
with it and I'm just like oh whatever this hallway is kind of hard to get
34:15
through I don't care anymore Warhead I wasn't as interested I didn't play
34:18
Warhead sorry actually no I didn't play Warhead I I did a little bit of it and
34:22
then was like I heard it was just kind of the same game yeah that's why I
34:26
wasn't as interested but C one was epic and crisis 2 is really good far nothing
34:30
neither of them were as good as far cry though Far Cry 3 is just like oh I
34:34
haven't played Far Cry 3 I mean Far Cry 1 oh one of the first things you have to
34:37
do once this is built is play Far Cry 3 seriously okay like seriously a great
34:42
game all right done um I'll play Far Cry 3 good it's honestly like really really
34:47
really fun and will run okay on my on my people keep making fun of me for my
34:51
graphics card what is up with that just cuz it's not current Jen so what I just
34:57
I'm explaining so what it's not cringy I'm
35:01
not the one making fun of you what is there to make fun of about this graphics
35:04
card this is a GTX 590 you know what
35:07
it's as fast if not faster than a 680 and it looks awesome it's got like
35:14
glowing lights on it it's water that's like a sweet water Block it's kind of
35:19
like the best water block actually it's so awesome anyway so this will be going
35:24
in my rig and like this is cool that's what's actually going to show when you put in your
35:28
that so there's like a glowing light on the side of it you can see where that
35:32
little silver logo is so I've got my silver compressions in
35:36
there show them what they're actually going to see there we go there's the
35:39
back plate absolutely gorgeous brushed aluminum back plate that I've never once
35:44
touched so it doesn't have any stains on it that's the way to go um okay so back
35:50
to uh so the never settle bundle looks freaking awesome but back to GTX 700
35:55
series cards Crisis 3 I I think is going
35:58
to be the one look at the requirements for it look how it's running in in Alpha
36:03
on current generation cards crisis three is going to be the next can it run
36:07
crisis stoked three stoked I love it
36:11
when there's stuff like that my favorite period in like PC Building and PC
36:15
modding was Crisis one yep that was like
36:18
oh my God like everything just exploded everyone like forums and everything we
36:22
like cuz it bent over your system and
36:25
then a new generation of graphics cards would conquer it and then a new like
36:29
highres texture mod would come out it's just like
36:33
no no no sit bad so that was awesome that
36:40
was so awesome I'm looking forward to having some
36:43
justification to own a high-end PC again
36:47
well like that's what everyone kind of did was they're like oh I can't run
36:51
crisis optimally time to upgrade time to
36:54
finally get super enthusiastic about building time to like over clock my
36:58
machine that I've been sitting here with it not overclocked for matter 6 months
37:02
because who cares I can't tell the difference between 55 FPS and 59 FPS
37:07
whereas you can tell the difference between 24 and 29 oh completely you can
37:12
tell the difference between like 24 and 26 yeah night and night and day so
37:16
that's uh oh it's exciting so yes I do
37:20
believe there's hope for at least for the near-term PC
37:25
gaming um slick do you like the new ranked system in League okay we're
37:28
moving on uh was slick a part of the battle of
37:32
asakai yes hi I have a Microsoft Surface
37:35
and do you know if I can put iTunes on it probably not no no you can't don't
37:40
put iTunes on anything Pro tip did you fire slick yet um no actually I haven't
37:46
fired him he hasn't done anything particularly horrible yet will slick
37:49
ever have a new jacket also don't forget the Windows 8 giveaway okay we won't
37:53
forget the Windows 8 giveaway um new
37:56
jacket show the video perfect segue okay all right it's not a new no we're not
38:00
playing the video we're not no they can't see the video oh but then what
38:03
were you going to do I was just going to show them the screenshot for those of you them who aren't following on Twitter
38:07
all right yeah sorry guys we can't share this video with you yet it is still uh
38:12
it's still under embargo for another I think seven days or so but this is
38:17
something that slick and Diesel and I have been working on extremely hard and
38:24
we are extremely excited about so um I
38:27
hope you guys can see this I think they can see it right I don't know if you're
38:30
on the right set I'll make sure it's on the right thing so this is a freeze this
38:34
is a still frame of an upcoming uh this
38:37
is going on the Techquickie channel so this is a project that we're producing
38:43
for um you know what we might as well say who it's for because it'll be pretty
38:47
obvious based on the headset I'm wearing yeah so that's a that's a Corsair
38:51
headset that is you know it's blurry so you guys probably can't tell exactly
38:55
which one it is but don't worry about it too much so this is a video project
38:59
we're producing for Corsair for this headset that um we are just super
39:05
excited about the video is only about a minute a minute and a half long but the
39:09
sheer amount of epicness okay I took a lot of flack for buying an fs700 which
39:15
is an 8700 8600 basically it's a $9,000 camera
39:21
plus all the yeah oh right plus the lights for another three grand plus plus
39:26
plus plus plus M plus the new
39:29
stand lot Mone okay you know what shut
39:32
up man shut up man you're killing me here basically you're poor now basically
39:37
I'm poor now yes uh so I had a lot of people giving me a hard time about this
39:41
this video is why I did this because and
39:46
it shows like it's actually legendary oh
39:49
we shot so much of it at 240 FPS so it's
39:53
like like every like that still frame you saw there was like a cra happy
39:57
capture off of playing the low low res version no no in its full 1080p glory in
40:04
super slow mode with water driplets like
40:07
falling off the headset in slow motion cuz it's actually raining in the sea
40:13
yeah like we we didn't just like hose it like we were actually completely soaked
40:17
it was kind of uncomfortable yeah but it looked good yeah but it looked good uh
40:22
and so therefore it is totally worth it um yeah we're really excited about this
40:27
so that actually leads us into a discussion topic that I would like to
40:31
that I would like to talk about um so for those of you I guess I
40:37
haven't I haven't really addressed this we're gonna we're going to sort of talk about this on Twitter for a bit so guys
40:42
do not tweet anything that is not about
40:45
the thing that we're going to talk about right now what's this what's this I could have got you never bring a sword
40:49
to a gunfight slick actually when you guys watch the video you're going to see
40:53
that the 15 to 20 ft he closes it fast
40:56
enough but if I didn't if we hadn't rehearsed it if I didn't know he was coming he'd have probably gotten
41:02
me uh okay okay here we'll do a couple
41:06
more Twitter questions and then we'll move into why exactly we're making a
41:09
video for Corsair so okay um never bring
41:14
a sword to a gunfight build a water cooling system as a reference and then
41:17
only swap in one part so we can get graphs over which part is best uh the
41:21
best way to actually test water cooling components against each other is in a
41:24
controlled environment and unfortunately a system is is not a controlled
41:28
environment you need to take um you need to get pressure curves you need to get
41:32
flow rates you need to get thermal transfer at given flow rates it's very
41:36
complicated stuff and there's probably only a handful of liquid cooling guys
41:42
and so skinny Labs and then probably swifttech are the only ones I can think
41:47
of that have proper gear to test water cooling stuff I know you said it before
41:51
but what headphones do you use uh steel series 7h uh dual 570s or go with a
41:56
single 600 series you know what dropping in another 570 Is
42:00
Not a Bad Bet 600 series was um a small
42:03
iteration went now okay I didn't actually read that part not a major
42:06
architecture change do you think 8 ssds is a good idea no because the onboard
42:11
LSI controller is not bootable if I Rec oh no I think it is but it's uh it's
42:16
limited in terms of the maximum throughput uh and if you put eight8 ssds
42:20
on it you're going to just destroy that Max get yourself a real raid card what's
42:24
your favorite gaming motherboard uh any motherboard
42:28
uh well okay I shouldn't say that uh if I had to pick a favorite motherboard for
42:31
gaming the things that I care about for gaming are things like better sound um
42:36
things like cool looks you care too whatever yeah no I
42:41
wasn't even hating on that at all looks totally matter I like having you know
42:45
Intel Lan like No Frill sort of no random extra software that I have run to
42:50
make things work I like having fan control uh like with all these things in
42:54
mind I'd probably go with something like an Empower or something like um Maximus
42:58
5 formula yeah yeah uh best fan bearing
43:02
type I don't know whatever Noctua uses cuz holy
43:06
crap why when I download The Crisis 3 beta I launch it and all I see is a
43:10
black screen with the mouse cursor origin let's just be done with
43:15
that watching live for the first time ever yay Sean Brogan yeah I I kind of
43:20
read that as Seth Rogan and I was like holy
43:23
crap watching us
43:27
it's not how it went down uh with the new installment of ddr4 RAM and LGA 2011
43:33
Ive CPUs what do you expect of the upcoming motherboards features and
43:36
performance more features and better performance yeah slick ever end up going
43:39
to godon yep okay cool oh yeah you won
43:44
something at goton yeah I won Battlefield 3 Premium and like the whole
43:48
thing like Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 3 Premium some 14-year-old melted off to
43:52
him or something so okay so
43:57
I was pretty upset um my my brother a
44:01
really good friend of mine and a buddy that I've met over time were all on one
44:05
team but we didn't have Battlefield 3 pre-installed on the computers that we
44:09
brought to the land cool story bro and we show up and there's a Battlefield 3
44:12
tournament so we sign up but we borrow other people's machines because they have them pre-installed I just grab my
44:16
peripheral sit down and go so we're all spread out throughout the land party the
44:19
other team is in one perfect little row and is all set up and we don't play my
44:24
team does not play Battlefield 3 together um so certain ones there had
44:27
never played a game together um and we're all spread out so we have very V
44:31
minimal communication because like I didn't have a working mic and like blah
44:35
blah blah blah blah like it wasn't like we weren't in the best situation we
44:39
start off the round it's 5 to zero for
44:42
them and its first group to 20 kills so we're not doing good um and I have three
44:48
of those deaths so I'm like I'm going to single-handedly lose us this game and I
44:52
start joking around with the guy beside me that because the team on the other
44:55
side of the table is using like code names for where they are code names for
44:58
each other code names for different hallways like serious which is awesome
45:02
but we just weren't so this is round one
45:05
right this is round one okay and these guys were expected to to win okay like
45:10
the whole thing like serious business yeah so I'm sitting beside a guy beside
45:13
me monacle the guy beside me and I start
45:18
making jokes about how I'm an extra in a movie because I keep dying so much and
45:21
just like not really caring that much at this point you're ridiculous and then
45:25
I'm sitting at the bottom of this stairs just getting suppressed and being and then the guy sitting across
45:31
the table from me starts openly making fun of me and then I got pissed off yeah
45:34
that guy at the bottom of the stairs what a loser what a loser Bas pone himas
45:38
basically um and then I ended the round 16 and
45:42
four so I just destroyed everyone and we won the game and then top prizes was a
45:48
bit Phoenix XL or video games right so
45:52
you took the Battlefield 3 Premium good choice you XL is a good
45:58
case yeah okay maybe not good but it's not bad yeah but we also had to get it
46:03
back right you're on the island and three of us are all going in the same
46:07
vehicle screw that noise like it was not the shobi XL is a big case we lost the
46:13
last round for clarification oh did you we lost the last round so you guys came
46:16
in second but we had actually like talked about purposely losing it we did not purposely lose it but we had talked
46:20
about it and it was 4 in the morning and like it was not a very good situation oh
46:24
so I'm not worried about that okay all right do you think you could have beat
46:28
them I think so yeah that's what losers say we didn't lose by a huge amount we
46:33
didn't lose by a huge amount and like my brother and I didn't do as great as we
46:37
did the previous round okay and yada y y
46:41
um all right so okay so let's talk about
46:45
our new topic which is why would Li I'm
46:50
list I just remembered what you're talking about what the new topic yeah
46:56
new topic just remember just keep going
46:59
don't good work okay so the new topic is
47:05
we want to take your guys' thoughts because for those of you who don't know
47:10
um one month and eight days ago I uh did
47:16
resign my position that I had for
47:20
full-time monetary employment which is not the correct way
47:25
to say that but not too worri about it at this point in time um so I am now uh
47:31
running my own company which is called creatively lonus Media Group
47:37
Inc I know it's a stupid name just calm
47:41
down um at least I don't work for lonus
47:44
Media Group it's worse it's so much
47:50
worse it's so bad if someone asked me they're like oh who do you work for I'm
47:53
like uh um lus Media Group they like oh
47:57
who's lus and I'm like my my
48:01
boss don't worry about it it's okay so
48:05
um so so l so lus Media Group so um I
48:09
don't know if you guys know this but slick and I used to work together on on
48:14
Tech tips in general Linus Tech tips MC Tech tips even cat videos from time to
48:18
time he'd help out with and um so but he was he was never
48:24
actually he never actually worked at NC
48:27
so uh so slick has joined um has joined
48:32
my new company diesel has joined my new company diesel is no longer an intern we
48:37
still call him diesel the intern sort of you know casually but he is not an
48:41
intern by any stretch of the imagination he is very much an important part of our
48:45
team and uh we are trying to do some
48:48
interesting stuff so I want to be real clear upfront with you guys that lonus
48:54
sort of the Productions that we do whether it's for so I've been showing
48:58
previews of this for a long time this is why I acquired all this gear um this is
49:03
why I was trying to figure out how to do a more professional style whether it was
49:09
the watch or whether it was the Galaxy Tab 2 or whatever that tablet was
49:16
or that thing or the Corsair Survivor Stealth or even that I know the one the
49:21
uh the the camera mount thing with all the claws so we were trying different
49:24
video Styles I think a lot of you probably saw the video we did on the
49:29
Corsair Survivor Stealth the USB 3 drive
49:33
that was our first actual project that we worked on as uh as our new as our new
49:39
unit wasn't Perfect by any stretch of the imagination but it was uh it was
49:44
something that you know we could be we could be proud of it's not a review to
49:48
be very clear although we still feel strongly about not saying anything that
49:53
we don't believe is true and not working with Partners who believe deliver shoddy
49:58
service or shoddy products or anything like that um so I don't know if you guys
50:02
have noticed but the Techquickie channel so that's youtube.com tequi is a
50:08
completely separate stream from Linus Tech tips it's a very different style of
50:11
content the fastest Possible episodes are aimed at more like uh like quick
50:17
digestible information that may be sometimes more complicated like how to
50:22
install a CPU and may sometimes be less
50:25
complicated like um what's
50:28
usb3 so it's it's stuff that you can watch or stuff that you can share with
50:33
your mom when she asks you a question and and like quick reference stuff like
50:37
stuff that you're probably going to have to repetitively look up like we have videos on raid different different
50:41
levels of raid which like you're probably not going to be able
50:44
to memorize all that kind of stuff so if you need to just reference really quick
50:48
all the time you don't want to like Wiki it and look there some people prefer a
50:52
video versus looking it up on Wikipedia or whatever else Some people prefer that
50:56
and that's why we're here uh that's why we exist at all so um so right so
51:02
there's that and then the Techquickie channel will also be a repository for
51:05
any uh any content that we
51:09
are hired to produce so that's the
51:12
Survivor Stealth that's the Voyager air Corsair actually used the Voyager Air at
51:17
their press event at CES to launch the product to the media which was very cool
51:22
one thing that we want to be absolutely ridiculous clear about
51:27
100% clear about is this angle is
51:30
touching Techquickie this angle is not
51:34
touching lineus Tech tips Linus Tech tips will remain just us getting edor
51:40
editorial content yeah us getting product reviewing the product unboxing
51:45
the products like yeah just more kind of bloggy kind of stuff us figuring stuff
51:50
out like benchmarking games you know little tips like the one we did about
51:54
true Crypt not that long ago so so keeping it real online as Tech tips the
51:59
only things that'll really change is hopefully quality improvements no like
52:03
actual status level of the channel yeah and I mean little quality improvements
52:07
like dual cam like not like quality improvements like um you know a giant oh
52:14
I was going to take a jab at someone but never mind um one thing we may start
52:18
doing online as Tech tips is we may have uh we may have sponsored spots before
52:22
the videos like we had uh lnr CES
52:25
content where honestly we can't go to CES like I don't know if you guys know
52:30
how expensive it isens to drag a number
52:33
of people and like equipment and I think
52:37
people understand that it's good that we're clarifying but I think people more expensive than they think I bet true for
52:42
sure so it's very expensive and without sponsors we can't do that and without
52:46
sponsors because we're not we're not actually necessarily
52:51
directly compensated by anyone uh
52:54
without sponsors we won't survive so we might have something
52:59
like uh you know I don't know this uh
53:02
this video game video card Round Up is sponsored by Intel why we choose Intel
53:07
for our test platform and we won't ask Intel to sponsor it if we weren't
53:11
already going to use an Intel platform for our test bench and one thing we will
53:14
likely do is not for like video game video card head-to-head we're probably
53:18
not going to pick NVIDIA AMD that's right that's why I chose Intel we're not
53:21
going to pick one of the things that are in direct competition we're going to
53:25
pick something like this is our video card test PCH right here our video card
53:29
test PCH is a static 2011 platform so picking Intel as a sponsor for that
53:33
video is non-conflicting and makes sense that's right uh so whereas if we were
53:38
doing something like okay something like my Windows Phone 8 content we're not
53:42
going to have that sponsored by Microsoft because they shouldn't have
53:46
any say on what I say about Windows Phone 8 however my experience with
53:49
Windows Phone 8 does happen to be getting increasingly positive but that's
53:52
sort of besides the point used to it um
53:56
old school Apple guy finally getting out of his little protective bubble toally
54:01
old school the first Apple product I ever owned was an iPhone for yeah but
54:05
what else have you used nothing exactly so that's not old school
54:11
you're finally getting out of your little protective bubble it's okay screw
54:14
you okay so we'd love to take your guys's comments on this whole change in
54:18
Direction and we will not be acknowledging any other questions for
54:23
the next little bit here hopefully people said stuff
54:27
about I don't think they
54:32
did uh Sean asks is the product our is
54:35
our product access going to be affected by no longer we are still attached to NC
54:39
to make that very clear our relationship with ncx is really good we still do ncx
54:44
Tech tips we still do NC Tech tips I don't know if you guys have noticed but
54:47
NC Tech tips is going strong and it's
54:50
going to go for a long time I mean that was part of that was something that was
54:54
really important to me because I don't how many of you guys have been there
54:58
from the beginning but I mean NC Tech
55:01
tips is my baby as much as Linus Tech tips I was there from day one I built
55:05
them with these two
55:10
hands I built them with these two hands
55:13
and uh you know it was really important to me that I still am able to work on
55:17
that project so so yes I still you know
55:22
NC guys are still my buds and I'm still their bud and all that all that good
55:27
stuff and if I don't know if you've noticed but we've actually had some pretty cool stuff that we've unboxed
55:32
this last month I mean remember this was five weeks ago that this was effective
55:36
so yeah it's not like we had all that content filmed before that yeah uh thank
55:41
you Ian thank you good to
55:45
know um not nope that's not us I have no
55:49
idea what that is wait hold on I'm worried I'm scared whenever we open
55:54
these things no no it's okay they won't I can't see it sound oh okay uh no
56:00
actually that's uh they have cameras too but that's totally not us no that's a
56:03
different company I think they're based out of New York I I saw them oh so Peter
56:08
asks what about NC Tech tips everything is okay ncx Tech tips is going to
56:13
continue doing what it's doing in fact uh next week we're going to be shooting
56:16
that bit Phoenix water cooling guide The Prodigy water cooling guide that I
56:20
promised ages ago and as some of you guys know we've uh released the swapping
56:25
graphics card one right on the old platform no I don't think that one's
56:28
live yet we've actually got about 10 videos uploaded that uh will be released
56:33
sort of when when they're ready um I do
56:38
not oh you want to clarify the question
56:42
um well I well okay actually okay to be clear I still do just in a different
56:47
different different capacity so I am not a product manager anymore I'm not a
56:52
product manager I'm not a category manager um so I'm I don't I don't have
56:56
an office still have a studio there that we still go to and we still work on ncx
57:01
Tech tips but uh this is a different this is a different direction we want to
57:05
do some kind of different stuff and uh we thought that this was a good time to
57:10
do it uh well it's not a great time to do it no yeah new baby and all that but
57:16
um but it seemed like the right time to do it and I think when you guys see the
57:20
video that we previewed with that uh with that picture this picture that I
57:26
apparently can't find right now whatever
57:29
don't worry about it it's a cool picture um so that video that we previewed
57:33
should give you guys some idea what we want to be doing because one of my
57:37
biggest frustrations always has been how many different jobs I've had so over the
57:42
years um if you've read the thread on linch tips.com with the my story thread
57:47
if you search for my story it'll be all the stuff that I've done to become a
57:51
professional unboxer so to speak and uh you know I've always been a product
57:55
manager or or in charge of the PC configurations or uh you know doing all
58:00
the water cooling builds or or or like there's always been something I've never
58:04
really been able to focus on video and I think that with more time to focus on it
58:09
I can be more
58:14
focused keep going which I think will improve the
58:19
quality of the content and it will just make it better for for everyone
58:24
concerned I was trying to figure out why he said blindest medag group.com was
58:28
crashed and I finally figured it out oh
58:31
oh yeah cuz you never turned it back on did you you made me take the power supply over oh that's right yeah
58:36
server's down lineus Tech tips.com is okay though that server is up uh all
58:41
good luck thank you does this mean no it does not mean no more NCIX Tech tips
58:45
lots more ncx Tech tips I guess that's the only thing we didn't really clarify
58:50
that much um to be honest I don't like
58:53
running out of Linus videos neither do we we need more lus videos too um you're
58:59
making it for the YouTube money uh you know what the YouTube money is not that
59:03
uh yeah if your name is Freddy Wong
59:07
Phila Franco Ray William Johnson PewDiePie is that Mar PewDiePie Jenner
59:12
marbles if if you're one of those five people then you can make things for
59:16
YouTube money because it'll actually be a significant amount of money but you
59:21
know without disclosing what the Google sort of Revenue is because it's part of
59:25
the terms of service that you cannot do that um let me tell you do the math guys
59:30
I have a staff of three people including myself how much money do you really
59:35
think YouTube pays out and yeah there you
59:40
go uh now that you're going in uh no I
59:44
haven't but maybe I'll check that out
59:47
actually good luck thank you thank
59:51
you oh bought a course our survivor steal thanks to you and you know what
59:56
this is what we want to do because as much as you know someone could come to
60:00
us with you know the you know the black
60:03
magic intensity Pro and ask us to come
60:07
up with sort of a really cool ad for it
60:10
um we actually put things in and have them not work consistently yeah I know
60:14
right be always late for your live stream not only not work consistently if
60:18
that's not enough for you your whole computer can
60:23
crash been endless hours debugging how
60:26
much fun will that be you're GNA love my
60:30
nuts yay Vince um but yeah we're looking
60:35
to find things that we actually do believe in I mean okay you probably
60:39
haven't heard me recommend the Vengeance 2000 to a lot of people but that's not
60:44
because it's a bad product I just happen to have a personal preference that
60:47
something else Vengeance 2000 is an excellent product Have You Have you
60:51
listened to them uh aren't they the same drivers as the
60:56
a little better than the 1500s to me I don't maybe it was my imagination I have
61:00
not directly tried the 200000 but it's one of those things where if people ask me which wireless headset to buy well
61:05
that's what I'll say depends where their price range is for me I think they're
61:08
around $49 and it depends are you going for PC or are you going for like the
61:12
home theater Wireless style because there's a very big difference and
61:15
there's a very big price Delta oh yeah cuz home theater Wireless stuff is not
61:19
$150 it's money and it's one of those things where you could say till you're
61:23
blew in the face that you know some component is optimized for gaming
61:28
because it's got like a stripe on it or whatever else but you actually can
61:32
optimize a peripheral for gaming something like a headset okay corser
61:36
might make a compromise like we need a slightly lower latency connection so
61:40
we're going to lose a little bit of bandwidth or what whatever other
61:43
trade-offs they might make so that's where I would actually say okay yes go
61:47
with the actual gaming wireless headset if you want Wireless um so anyway yeah
61:52
so I'm glad you bought a Survivor Stealth because it is a fantastic product and I'm glad that our video got
61:56
that point across um nope NOP ncixcom is going
62:04
strong so there seems to be a lot of Mis misconceptions about that we just didn't
62:08
bring it up there's no intention of stopping ncixcom in fact not only no
62:12
intention there is a long-term plan that
62:15
it is not going away y
62:19
um uh no um delaying something to make
62:23
sure that it's good is not a problem yeah that's that's fine I would way
62:27
rather that they delayed it and fixed any problems than releasing a shoddy
62:31
terrible product this happened with War Z have you heard of
62:35
Warz they were it's video game based on zombies whatever don't worry about it
62:39
like Daisy pretty freaking similar oh okay
62:43
sure um Daisy is a built into a game War
62:46
a stand alone da Daisy is a flower da
62:56
Daisy is a mod for armor 2 they're planning on making it a standalone wary
63:00
was a standalone I don't even know if they still exist anyways they had a
63:03
pretty rough Alpha stage but we're doing pretty okay a lot of people kind of
63:06
liked it and then they were like nope full release and then it was so bad that
63:11
steam pulled it I don't think as far as I know I
63:16
don't know they haven't pulled much I don't know of any other game that they have they probably have but I don't I've
63:20
never heard of any other game Steam well there was probably one with like full
63:23
frontal nudity or something that slipped theil something but you know three
63:28
people bought it but not because steam was like this game sucks too
63:33
much like like holy cow so like I would
63:38
rather that you actually go through the R&D I would rather that you actually
63:42
perfected your product and then released it instead of releasing something shoty
63:45
and remember not dead it's not like NVIDIA has 700 series on the shelves so
63:52
um okay so there's no real pressure they can still sell 7,000 series graphics
63:56
cards right now which is fine and they delayed that but dropped their n never
64:01
settle bundle yeah which is awesome which is pretty epic so which is a
64:04
pretty good incentive to go buy a 7,000 series card as we discussed before and
64:08
they're benching really well yeah they're benching really well the Far Cry
64:12
3 benchmarks we ran like at every price point AMD just
64:18
cleaned house and sneak preview Starcraft sneak preview yeah Starcraft 2
64:23
we're doing same kind of Styles as we did with Far Cry 3 but with stcraft 2 so
64:26
we're going to show head-to-head competition and then we're going to show my Benchmark weren you supposed to get
64:29
that done this week it is done we were supposed to film it that's
64:35
your fault all right
64:39
fine I was busy I know I'm just saying
64:43
it's not my fault um so anyway that's that's coming
64:46
so AMD is doing good well I mean maybe
64:50
not gu I'll wait until it shows up well yeah but I mentioned your stream on
64:54
Logan's live stream and he forwarded viewers to your stream when you started yay Logan thanks Logan thanks
65:00
Logan for you okay you know what I should probably give him a proper shout
65:03
out let's go to his YouTube channel for those of you who don't know who the
65:07
Logan is and we are still working on uh
65:10
on sort of rerunning his experiment with 8350 versus 3570k we've just had a very
65:16
busy week raise the World Tech Syndicate
65:19
raise the world man I am going to make
65:23
that video Logan if you see this we've just been ridiculous probably not
65:27
watching why are you still full of yourself this is your
65:32
channel can you make sure this is still working what's this doing boom boom boom
65:40
okay okay in the meantime I'm going to
65:43
Logan's YouTube channel where he does his um traditional well not more
65:49
traditional but his traditional style where he does problems problems what
65:55
problems uh ask ask people what's up oh
65:58
uh oh wait what aren't you in the chat yeah but I can't chat because I'm not
66:02
logged in you're log okay apparently there are problems
66:06
but we don't know what they are it says we have viewers lag whoa lag yeah oh
66:11
okay how about now fixed can't even Lo in uh nope some people are saying it's
66:16
fine some people are saying it's choppy it is a little choppy I don't think
66:20
there's anything we can do about that though I think it may actually be related to the um
66:26
I think it may actually be related to the a media card I think it's just when
66:29
you open the browser is it remember how choppy it was when I tried to do the 3D
66:34
thing Firefox so anyway uh so we're not going to do anything in the browser
66:38
we're just going to show you a static image but Tech Syndicate Logan he's a
66:42
boss go ahead watch his channel that's all good good things that are good to do
66:47
his the tech episodes are pretty sweet actually yep yeah they're long yeah no
66:52
offense Logan it's not he covers a lot of topics though I like them I actually
66:55
like them um okay so moving right along uh back to back to L
67:01
Twitter uh congrats on the new YouTube channel
67:06
mentioned okay what about NVIDIA Titan okay we did promise a discussion topic
67:11
about this so what about NVIDIA
67:15
Titan why what are you doing oh it's okay it's got rubber feet
67:19
on the bottom of it I put it down on top of my freshly painted case and yeah
67:24
that's really really really choppy guys there's nothing we can do about it it's
67:27
choppy on our screen too we'll just try to move less so that it's not as
67:32
noticeable but uh for those of you who have suggested some um alternative
67:37
broadcasting software Suites we are considering it and when we have time to
67:41
sit down and actually try them we will we will try and find a way to to get
67:46
that done the bad news is that we can't just stop the live stream and start it
67:50
up again and see if that fixes it because then we're going to have to
67:53
convert all of the media in order to put it back together and upload it after
67:57
and we'd really like to well slick needs to go home and go to bed and I need to
68:01
go to bed so yeah um where were we
68:05
NVIDIA Titan right right uh there's tons of rumors I've
68:09
read rumors saying that it's a standalone release I've read rumors
68:13
saying that it's 780 I've read I've read I've read I've read I've read I've read
68:17
I've read I've seen benchmarks that are apparently it that are incredible but
68:21
who knows if they're partially fabricated who knows if they're real who knows if blah blah blah we received no
68:26
actual information and signed no non-disclosure agreement about this
68:29
product so we're we're we're open to speculate so I'm expecting it to be
68:35
something along the lines of what 480 was it's going to be it's going to have
68:40
high power consumption it's going to have a lot of heat output well it's a
68:44
gk10 it's a GK 110 so yeah so it's a big
68:47
old core on the other hand GTX 480 was
68:51
pretty ball and fast compared to the previous generation 280 I've got kind of
68:56
a for gtx480 that was the biggest generational leap we've seen in a while
69:01
since since probably 8800 yeah um so I'm
69:05
expecting another big generational leap
69:11
um I'm expecting a big price tag uh the
69:15
rumors that I've that I've seen have GTX
69:19
whatever it's going to be called have Titan coming in at more like a
69:23
replacement for 690 as opposed to a replacement for 680
69:28
which doesn't necessarily indicate anything about performance although
69:31
maybe maybe it performs similarly but it's a single GPU so you don't have to
69:35
deal with any driver nonsense um I think
69:38
people are dropping off the live stream because of the chop oh still 2600
69:41
actually that's not bad um but I am
69:45
expecting it to come in at a similar price point you know I get people asking
69:48
me stuff like this all the time Min is how much do you think Intel's upcoming
69:51
4770k will cost how much do you think their next Generation extreme Edition
69:55
cost and I can't answer those questions because I'm under NDA but what I can say
69:59
like I'm under sort of a general NDA because if I could know the answer then
70:03
I could get in trouble for saying the actual answer but come on guys it's the
70:08
same thing every time like look at what a 2600k cost look at what a 3770k cost
70:14
how much do you think the replacement is going to cost approximately the same
70:18
like look at what a 590 cost look at what a 690 cost how much you think a
70:21
Titan's going to cost $9.99
70:25
I don't know and then I'd expect performance to be something along okay
70:30
look look at what the stack was designed
70:33
to be the code names tell the story
70:36
gk10 was supposed to be to GK 1114 what
70:40
gk100 was to GK
70:44
104 oh is that the problem uh no that's the audio problem
70:49
an audio problem has that been open the whole time it's been open since you checked
70:54
it oh seriously oh sorry guys um wait
70:59
where was I everything's the same oh yeah it's the
71:06
same yeah yeah so so right so how much
71:11
is the next generation one going to cost it's going to cost about as much as that
71:17
and then sometimes there will be Halo parts and people always act like it's
71:20
the first time they've seen something like when GTX 590 launched for ,000
71:25
people were like did you forget about 8,800
71:30
Ultra that was a $9.99
71:33
part did you forget about uh 5800 Ultra
71:38
I mean that was what like a799 part but that was like 10 12 years ago however
71:43
long ago that was um so yeah these things happen um things are
71:49
expensive but in terms of pricing they come in at you know whatever they're
71:53
replacing approximately plus or minus CU that's what they do I don't remember
71:59
where I was going with that so I'm just kind of AD living right now this is pretty much it though we haven't we
72:03
honestly haven't received anything we don't have any n right yes the code
72:07
names tell the story I'm expecting gk110
72:11
to be as much faster as then GK 114
72:15
which is what 680 670 and 660 Ti are based on as GK 100 was versus GK 104
72:23
which is 580 570 versus 560 TI and 560
72:28
so that's the kind of improvement I'm expecting to see so that's the same sort
72:31
of improvement we see when we go from a 480 to a 580 to a 680 except that it's
72:36
kind of the same sort of improvement you have from a 480 down to a 460 and from a
72:41
580 down to a 560 and from 680 down to a 660 non TI because that's the one that's
72:46
an actual different GPU which is GK 106 which like so there I'm expecting it to
72:51
be about 80% faster than
72:55
a GTX 680 don't quote me on that though you have any more
73:00
topics not particularly can not kick my case I I don't like that that thing
73:05
flaps open all the time yeah me neither I'll have to figure out what to do about that I might just put a stronger magnet
73:09
behind the thing that's probably a gooda but then it won't be black wrinkle coated but if I get something shiny
73:13
silver then it should be okay should we maybe show them what we're talking about
73:16
no it's okay they don't care you just don't want to show them the small imperfection of your case should you
73:21
show them the some people are saying refresh the a media
73:26
a right click and then click refresh yeah there's no refresh there's
73:31
no refresh under configure uh you know
73:36
what and it didn't work it's okay don't worry guys we'll figure it out some
73:40
other time I don't have the latest drivers I have the one I have the last
73:44
one um so I'm going to leave you to just
73:48
kind of flounder oh oh we should you know what
73:52
we never actually stopped doing uh we never actually finished doing as much
73:56
Twitter as I wanted to do about the whole uh also Windows 8 giveaway y we
74:01
won't forget about that you remind me of Vince from The Slap Chop commercial
74:05
thank you that's what the quote was for yes uh can't wait to see some of the
74:09
Techquickie videos well you could go there right now youtube.com tequ or
74:12
hopefully in like 17 minutes um yeah
74:16
hopefully in a little bit good luck to you and your new Biz thank you congrats
74:20
thank you
74:24
um that's not what they're called fastest possible does not actually
74:27
shorten to Fat obligatory what is the status of the
74:31
personal rig upgrade go back and watch the archive because I gave a nice long
74:35
update at the beginning that's something they talking about uh oh yeah Freddy's
74:39
Kickstarter you know about this you guys were talking about it oh that makes a
74:44
all more sense yeah have you ever seen video game high school what yeah you
74:48
don't really know what this carry on Game High School uh made
74:54
by Freddy with a group that he made called Rocket Jump it features the dude
74:58
from uh epic meal time I can't remember his name you don't know his name some
75:02
Canadian guy he eats bacon yeah features him it features the uh Brian fenzi from
75:09
5sec films he's freaking awesome like it's got a whole bunch of really really
75:12
big YouTubers um and it's like a serious business show that they made and they
75:17
made Video Game High School season one check it out on I think I think just
75:21
rocket jump.com or I think it's also on YouTube um but they're starting a
75:25
Kickstarter to start season two and season two is like they're adding a
75:29
whole bunch of schools so it's not just video game high school like it's all these other different schools and
75:34
they're thinking about spreading into more games for season one it was just
75:38
FPS um so yeah really interesting I think they might have passed their goal
75:42
already but helping Freddy is like not a
75:46
bad thing because he's kind of awesome kickstarting things is just sort of
75:50
magical I love Kickstarter it's like well it's fantastic okay here's what I
75:55
don't I mean okay I get it's hard to wrap my brain around um why people get
76:01
to start a business with just upfront funding that they actually don't have
76:07
to pay back in any way or I mean it's like it's magical and it's good for you
76:12
you're buying a product though 99% of the time when you do any Kickstarter
76:16
donation you're buying something yeah okay but you're buying something that
76:20
it's like um that isn't guaranteed yet
76:24
yes no quality guarantee that kind of stuff yes almost every single
76:27
Kickstarter like video games are now not allowed showing anything other than
76:32
actual what they have right now right so they can't be like this is theoretical
76:36
footage this is video that our Graphics designer made that has nothing to do
76:41
with our game like that was happening a little bit at the beginning of Kickstarter right and then Kickstarter
76:44
is just like no you can only release what you have now okay so any assets
76:50
that you see on the page are current assets so what a lot of people have to
76:54
do is start everything like they have to form their company they have to hire all
76:57
the employees they have to basically do everything that you would have to do if you're going to bring something to a
77:01
bank for a gigantic investment or and then they get to put it on Kickstarter
77:05
and then they get to put it on Kickstarter so it's usually very well
77:09
properly organized pre-done things that are looking to funding to finish their
77:12
project not always yeah but usually so
77:17
like we should do a Kickstarter for like starting up a slick Tech tips
77:22
Channel we'll set the goal at something very reason like $500 I was going to say
77:27
10 bucks it's not like we pay him much so find me a sandwich so I can survive
77:31
and then we'll make a new YouTube channel yeah no like okay when you're
77:36
going on Kickstarter Kickstarter is awesome but be careful read what you're
77:40
buying how about like a Kickstarter for tattooing Slick's face with like Darth
77:44
Maul tattoos no unless we get like what
77:48
if it was like a million dollars would you do it
77:55
you could just get tattoo removal or would there have to be a thing where I have to keep it yeah you probably have
77:59
to wear it for let's say five years oh for a million million bucks five years
78:05
maybe to be honest cuz it's one of those things that's ridiculous enough I just
78:08
hide in my room and play video games on the best computer ever just be like yeah
78:13
I don't even care and then just come out with like a nice car and a nice house
78:18
already paid off and just get the thing taken off my face what if they made you
78:22
embed the horns too oh that you can do that too that's a
78:27
thing actually a thing know I
78:32
know he's thinking so guys I probably would let's get this kick started going
78:37
I probably would and I would just cosplay 100% of the time I'm just like
78:42
no screw it I'm just I'm Darth Maul for 5 years move to Las Vegas and then just
78:48
hang out on the sidewalk and augment your income with
78:52
like a tip jar and like photo ops yeah so everyone can think I'm like actually
78:56
trying to make money and being legit about this but realistically I just got
78:59
paid off realistically you're even more legit than they know um Samuel that's
79:04
not the case at all at all was not it was definitely not the back burner a lot
79:09
of what I did at NC wasn't really visible to customers um well not in a
79:14
way that had your name attached to it yeah I mean I was working on pricing or
79:18
you know strategic whatever the heck uh
79:21
marketing uh my baby's name is not going to be something that I'm talking about
79:26
um Andrew asks if you get approached by revision three or something will you let
79:30
them eat you so that's an interesting question I have talked to revision 3
79:34
I've talked to um Maker Studios I've
79:38
talked to uh one other guy that's not really in
79:43
the YouTube Network business yet but they might be soon but they're legit
79:47
they're cool guys um so I guess it just
79:50
does a matter of what you mean by E2 because revision three for example uh
79:54
doesn't it doesn't they don't eat you they don't dictate what your content is going to be they don't they're not like
79:59
oh we don't like lineus Tech tips the way it is you need to have
80:03
monkeys some my favorite shows on revision 3 um I mean I think looking at
80:08
someone like my fellow Canadian Lou from unbox therapy I did a collab with him
80:12
not that long ago uh I don't think that joining revision 3 has changed his
80:17
content mostly I think his CES content
80:20
with that Ford integration was a little bit um for
80:25
and I mean I liked the way that we were able to do CES as an independent where
80:31
we basically found sponsors that we know and like so we went with Corsair because
80:37
we love Corsair and the stuff that they do we went with seate because the okay
80:42
so get I mean the messaging was seate trusted storage partner um all of our
80:48
archived footage goes on Seagate drives
80:51
on a big fat RAID controller in a server
80:54
so it's one of those things where we're saying something we're partnering with a
80:59
sponsor but we're already utilizing or backing them in
81:03
some way so we're not worried about that we we're legit using those drives and if
81:07
they all failed on us we might be having a different conversation about who our
81:11
trusted storage partner is I mean for that that said I'd be comfortable
81:15
calling WD a trusted storage partner too because I we also use we also use WD
81:20
drives just not for that specific purpose uh we have no we have WD drives
81:24
in the ice Icey I have a seate and a WD
81:28
drive in my system so basically they're trusted storage Partners so so we don't
81:32
have to do a minute and a half long commercial for seate at the end of you
81:37
know a video we just have to kind of say look they're our trusted stage partner and Link say same thing uh linkis I
81:42
think probably 90% of the networking gear in this house is linkis and
81:46
non-conflicting and non-conflicting with the triangle of non-conflicting Brands
81:50
yeah so it's not like we're going to say you know sponsored by Intel sponsored by
81:54
AMD both of which are you know the best CPU and you should buy it because well I
81:58
mean we're trying we're trying to pick and choose things I mean honestly when
82:02
you're starting a business you can't necessarily just say no I turned my nose
82:06
up to you you know you cannot sponsor our trip to CES because we wanted to go
82:09
down there we wanted to make that content so we had to find a way to do it
82:13
but we were lucky enough to find partners that we were really comfortable working with um so revision three would
82:19
allow us to opt out of something like a Ford integration if we weren't
82:23
comfortable with Ford cars or whatever else um they don't dictate your content
82:27
they want a watermark um at some point we will likely partner with the network
82:32
but I don't know I mean it's it's something that I've actually been
82:35
working on for more than six months now we don't want to make a bad decision we
82:39
don't want something that'll impact you guys we don't want something that's going to influence
82:44
our yeah exactly we want it to stay true
82:48
to how it has been like like we said earlier with the the Techquickie
82:51
movement and starting the company and all that kind of stuff like we're changing things with Techquickie we're
82:55
not changing anything with either of the channels that are already running
82:58
because we know you guys like it and we hope you guys like it we hope you guys
83:02
like it so yeah if you hate it we're sorry I think people are tuning out
83:07
they're bored no I think they just hate the choppy video actually I don't know
83:10
so let's go back to Twitter for a little bit and then we'll do our Windows 8
83:14
giveaway uh lus says again funny good
83:18
luck shout out to PewDiePie oh man uh
83:21
Brave move thank you uh no no not a new
83:24
baby again my baby is 9 months old uh huh okay good question lion does
83:31
slick PC have an important position in the company what is your position in the
83:35
company my uh I do all the
83:40
things I don't really know how to even
83:43
say that my title my official title is
83:47
it lead I don't even think that matters at this point um I don't know right now
83:53
we're three guys trying trying to do everything so we all just kind of do
83:58
everything um positions aren't really in
84:01
stone at the moment I prep videos I
84:05
Benchmark things I film I storyboard
84:09
stuff I try and help orchestrate shots I
84:12
give feedback on Diesel's editing I edit
84:17
sometimes I like not very well not that well but like I don't know we all kind
84:23
of do everything so yeah okay so let's
84:26
do uh let's do our Windows 8 giveaway do you have a question no do you have a
84:31
question okay you go do a question while I while I come up with a topic well not
84:35
come up with the topic I have a topic so along the lines of monetizing content
84:42
and you know will someone buy out your
84:45
content and eat you and all that good stuff YouTube has pay walls coming so uh
84:53
this was this was oh can you open up that page again where did I see this
84:56
article real SEO re L SEO YouTube will
85:01
have paid subscription channels soon so this will be starting they're sending
85:06
out offers apparently this is all sort of supposedly sending out offers to some
85:11
uh premium content creators because part of the whole okay and this this okay
85:16
hold on I'll launch into this later so they're sending out invitations to some
85:20
content creators to um have premium channels that will be anywhere from a
85:24
dollar to $5 a month to subscribe to which you could kind of look at and go
85:28
okay well if it's someone that's creating fantastic content and you know
85:32
I really really really like it and um you know beats watching reruns of
85:39
friends on Friday night or whatever whenever reruns of friends are on um so
85:44
I could kind of see people doing it but
85:48
it goes against for me the philosophy of
85:53
internet video compared to to what we've done in the past I mean I understand
85:56
YouTube's uh inherent need to monetize
86:01
the content in such a way that it can be self- sustaining I don't know that
86:05
YouTube's ever made any money I really don't think so um the amount of
86:10
bandwidth required for what they're doing is just ridiculous the amount of admin
86:16
and overhead that goes into what they're doing is ridiculous and uh
86:22
they're yeah so so they need ways make money I mean they end up in sort of the
86:26
Facebook sort of quandry where Facebook is like yeah we have this huge user base
86:31
but like how do we turn that into something that stockhold holders will
86:34
appreciate hard to say so so I would love to hear what you guys
86:40
think of paid subscriptions to YouTube so to be clear I mean I say never with
86:46
an asteris here but I I will never have a paid channel it's not really what
86:50
we're trying to do at all I mean we want viewers to just come and watch the
86:54
videos we we love that um but I'd love
86:58
to hear your thoughts on paid YouTube
87:05
channels will it just kill internet video would you rather just I think it's
87:10
going to be more of like TV show format right well yeah I mean I'm
87:15
expecting that to happen but people ran away from TV shows to watch videos on
87:20
the internet yeah I don't think it's going to be successful I just think the only
87:24
people are going to do it or like TV show format I don't think it's going to
87:27
be a very lucrative move at all on the
87:30
other hand you I I went to an interesting conference where they said
87:34
it's something like seven years between your first between a free user and
87:39
converting that person to a paid user so if it succeeds we won't know immediately
87:44
this was uh they this was the guy who started you send
87:47
it so he was saying between when they
87:50
turned on the paid service because it was free for the longest time at first
87:55
someone signed up almost immediately but what they found now with more data is
87:59
that between the first sign up and when someone actually goes I enjoy this
88:02
service so much that I don't mind paying a couple bucks for it to get a couple
88:05
more features is about seven years which is a huge amount of time I mean YouTube
88:11
will be so different seven years from now look how how fast it's changing all
88:15
the time yeah reddit's having a problem with that they can't necessarily get
88:19
people to sign up for Reddit Gold because people don't see the value in it
88:23
yeah it's taking a really long time for them to get people to move over and even
88:28
hardcore people are just going like I don't see a positive in this y so so if
88:33
YouTube can figure out a way to attract content creators that will attract paid
88:37
subscriptions you know good luck to them and as John here says please stay unpaid
88:42
don't worry we're going to be unpaid um I don't think that suits our style it's
88:46
not really our style I don't think that people watch lonus Tech tips for the
88:50
sheer entertainment value of it I think it's more like that's a cool product or
88:54
maybe it's a little bit entertaining or whatever else I mean we're here to more
88:57
like the next video has some serious entertainment value yeah I've watched it
89:02
at least 30 times on it oh I'm probably around there like seriously this is by I
89:07
like fell asleep watching it last night I'm I'm going to bring out that by far and large again but this is seriously by
89:12
far and large the best video we've made oh yeah by a long shot and it's not done
89:16
yet like everything else we've ever done is just not good just low you can't
89:21
really compared to this can't see howow this down here there we go um steel
89:26
series vinyl W on a table is coming soon I hope to have something to show you
89:31
guys in the next couple weeks uh what now oh yeah yeah yeah got
89:36
it but don't worry we'll we'll go that um does slick change his hair every day
89:42
no that's just what it looks like when he crawls out of
89:46
bed how do you know when to change liquid in a loop black tubes yeah
89:51
probably does the a coolers last until the pump dies I think they're supposed
89:55
to I think they're rated for about 5 years of course don't partner with
89:58
channel pro wasn't intending
90:01
to who is the third man in the business
90:04
Diesel have you tried the h10 yet the h10 H1 or h10 the h110 is installed in
90:10
our thermal test bench right now but we haven't run numbers yet rather slick
90:14
hasn't run numbers yet what gives me another job and then
90:19
complains that I didn't complete the first
90:22
one uh yeah that's not going to happen don't
90:26
worry we don't have the same we wouldn't have the same kind of agreement that uh
90:30
that El had so there you
90:34
go wish you guys had some merchandise
90:37
why is a fish when it swims also did you just start on the Windows 8 no no we'll
90:41
do the Windows 8 giveaway soon what was that question I have no idea why is a
90:45
fish when it swims the only ad okay so Richard is saying the only Advantage
90:50
would come from no commercials but that would again kill a major income source
90:55
for YouTube but then YouTube's going to skim part of the profits and then the
91:00
amount of bided commercials will just go to other channels there's always videos
91:04
on a channel that don't have a pre-roll that could have a pre-roll that's true that's true you can never have a too
91:09
much ad inventory um as as an ad server
91:12
so yeah yeah and if you get too much people are paying more so
91:17
like I wouldn't be worried about it if I was Google 4 CH apparently offers
91:22
bypassing the capture with the subscription
91:27
okay which section of the Forum can I find your story if you search for my
91:31
story um search for professional unboxer and it should show up I would pay a
91:36
subscription to see slick PC bench press you oh man think we crash and burn I
91:43
could see if it was like a TV show for example video you could buy VGHS on
91:47
YouTube about that but I don't think that's Freddy's angle like if it was
91:50
more like a oh okay I don't think Freddy would do that considering he released it
91:55
for free on his own
92:00
website yeah I wonder what his model is exactly tons of views and epic videos
92:06
yeah but tons of views don't inherently pay any money but he gets like n million views a
92:12
video I know but no no I mean no no I okay yeah yeah yeah he gets tons of
92:16
views and all that but his videos do cost money to make oh yeah um and I
92:21
think he's also got some Partnerships and some sponsorship and some like uh um
92:26
like in a lot of his did they do any product placement I think they do I'm
92:30
pretty I know they did in VGHS like yes
92:34
there was product placement in VGHS VGHS definitely Razer Razer was huge they all
92:39
walked around with the not the new one but that like Gamepad thing oh okay the
92:45
uh they walk yeah and whenever they'd sit down to game it was like B bam and
92:49
it was all like it supposed to be super epic but yeah you don't understand if
92:53
you saw it they do it really well Freddy they do it really
92:57
well uh okay yes we'll do a 900d unboxing for sure if it was like a TV
93:02
show with the exact same standards it's not better like if Big Bang Theory was
93:05
$5 a month then yes however the argument there is well then why not just get a
93:09
Netflix subscription which is already already exists and it's like 15 bucks a
93:15
month and you get absolutely everything including movies right
93:19
like I don't know we'll see but I don't really we'll see it will also attract
93:24
major TV networks to switch so traditional TV can finally die actually
93:27
it won't traditional TV networks are going to fight this move tooth and nail
93:34
because it will kill like okay remember
93:38
your cable provider is often Affiliated in some way to some kind of a uh some
93:45
some kind of a network or studio so that means that they're collecting money at
93:50
every level they're collecting money from the end user subscribing to the
93:53
cont content they're collecting money from advertisers paying to be on the
93:57
content so they're sitting in the middle going like
94:01
yeah awesome place to be if they let
94:05
content if they let content creators go to online and then advertisers start
94:10
paying them directly and viewers start paying them directly they
94:14
lose everything game over so they they
94:18
will be they will not it will not attract anything from them uh I'm sub to
94:23
dozens of used YouTubers and if it's like $5 a month each that's a bit much
94:27
that's a good point because it depends on how they break it down that was the
94:30
Netflix Point yeah it's it's not worth it like so if you had
94:35
YouTubers that um oh I don't know like
94:38
what would it you know what makes more sense yeah is like paying per video
94:43
because then people upload movies to YouTube It's usually just like Indie
94:48
stuff but if people started releasing serious business videos that were
94:52
attached to your YouTube account that you could watch anywhere at any point in
94:55
time through a really simple on demand kind of thing like I think that might
95:00
make more sense than a subscription so if we did an unboxing uh oh no okay
95:04
let's say we don't do an unboxing let's say we do an unboxing of the 900d and we
95:08
say guys we're going to do like an epic cool 900d build video where it's like
95:14
two hours long we fill the thing up to the NES but you have to pay $2 to watch
95:18
it I think they freak out I'm that wasn't the use case that I
95:23
proposed at all this was movies like movie that's released in the movie
95:26
theater you can then buy it on YouTube
95:30
and be able to watch it at any have that don't they do they I think so but like
95:35
who cares because Netflix I I don't care that's probably why I don't know about
95:38
it if it exists but like that's the only case that I would see it making sense I
95:42
don't know uh I think channels that require paid subscription would be see a
95:46
huge view drop yeah of course or that if you pay for your subscription and that
95:49
takes out ads just like how twitch does it y that makes sense that yeah content
95:55
would have to be outrageously awesome yeah I think we can all agree on that
95:59
Vimeo did something similar first with the tip jar but man you know what here's
96:05
the thing I liked Vimeo approach honestly if YouTube had a tip jar I'd be
96:08
stoked because if someone wants to give us a tip that's great but it should be
96:12
voluntary that to me is more like the
96:15
essence of what YouTube is creating this content voluntarily and then people
96:21
supporting it voluntarily and if they want to support it with a couple bucks
96:24
from their pocket then that's all voluntary too but making it sort of like
96:28
um you know like who oh no you got to
96:32
jump this high if you want to you want to get the thing exactly like to me
96:35
that's not quite um yeah that's it's
96:39
just not what I would like I like Vimeo uh Tommy J asks what happened to the
96:43
unbox therapy collab giveaway it's coming uh Lou's been on vacation or
96:47
something so when he gets back we'll pick a winner we'll announce it and everything will be good and hunky dory
96:52
so speaking of giveaways um you know what you're in charge of the Windows 8
96:56
giveaway cuz I have to pee okay so the question is who did Bill
97:02
Gates buy Doss from oh uh don't announce the winner in real time because what I
97:06
discovered last week is that who appeared to be the winner when I went
97:10
back and looked at the Timeline yeah it wasn't right so yeah okay so the
97:16
question I guess you guys kind of have part of it already anyways it's a
97:20
two-part question so anyone who's answered yet but let people guess until until you see a correct answer right or
97:25
something I don't know make it fun I'll figure it out uh who did Bill Gates buy
97:29
Doss from so you guys know that part already and what was its original name
97:35
that's more probably the difficult one we've been doing stuff that's kind
97:39
of newer content for these questions so I thought I'd jump back a little bit and
97:43
hopefully people would appreciate that I don't want his name I want the company
97:49
name sorry that was kind of my fault I should have specified I want the company
97:53
name that he bought it from and not just I see person on screen if I can do this
98:00
there you said the guy's name and the
98:04
company name I want the name of the program and the company name just to be
98:09
completely clear on
98:13
that all right we have a correct answer I don't know if you were the first one
98:17
like lonus just said we're going to review it afterwards but this guy has a
98:21
correct answer it was Seattle computer
98:24
Oh no you're wrong no you're wrong continuing
98:33
forward I feel much better thank you for
98:36
asking maybe this is the right name SLE computer
98:41
products a lot of people are saying SLE computer products did you have the wrong
98:46
answer I might have I have Seattle Computing but it might be Seattle
98:51
computer products this is what happens when I put him in
98:55
charge of things let me Che you're fired let me
98:58
check no you're fired this is what happens when you
99:02
trust Wikipedia actually you probably didn't
99:06
even go to
99:09
Wikipedia I hope you guys have enjoyed the live stream I think we're pretty
99:12
much done for the night um yeah I'm still not sure if I'm
99:17

99:20
shoot videos sort of throughout the process computer Products Seattle
99:24
computer products so congratulations to everyone who answered correctly slick
99:28
will be responsible for going back and finding who won and then slick what you
99:32
need to do is follow that person on Twitter and get them to follow you so
99:36
that they can message you directly so that you can send their email to me so
99:40
that I can can I make them message me on the Forum um sure that would be way
99:46
easier my name on the form is slick no no get them to do it on Twitter because
99:50
then you can validate the username yep you don't have 100 people messaging you
99:54
on the Forum yep y yep everyone send slick a private message on the
99:58
Forum okay no I'm joking please don't do
100:01
that actually it would explode his inbox
100:05
um my already exploding inbox yeah
100:08
pretty much yeah where was I going with that I
100:12
don't know I don't think you're going necessarily anywhere that I think we're kind of done sort of like after party
100:17
time after party time yeah we've never had an after party before no I think
100:22
we're usually to tired you tired
100:25
today uh I'm not going to bed right away
100:31
seriously you're going to play that now I want to play 514 and I've got the new
100:35
stuff what if you have to work I'm not going to bed until the new stuff is set up seriously oh you didn't even talk
100:40
about your new stuff should I go grab it I'm pretty excited no don't go grab it
100:44
are you sure yes it's huge right there
100:48
it's like three huge boxes I'm huge I'll go grab one you talk about I'll go grab
100:51
the next one like am I going to talk what is youru okay I'll get it you talk
100:55
about your stuff I don't want to talk about your stuff sucks no it doesn't
100:59
yeah you particularly like my
101:03
stuff um so I bought two new ASUS
101:06
monitors because I've had some pretty not so great monitors for a little while
101:12
um one of them was a present from my dad when I got my very first computer like
101:18
that was my own um I had talk about your
101:22
overall computer spec too here's the most exciting thing oh
101:26
God random brown box with shipping label
101:29
no that's not a particularly shipping label um I was actually confused when I
101:33
first saw this because I bought a monitor ARM for my desk um from ergotron
101:39
but it came in this box that says juststand.org and I was like well I
101:43
didn't buy it from juststand.org
101:46
so what but then on the side of the box it says ergotron so I was pretty happy
101:51
with that the idea is
101:54
that okay this guy is 24 in freaking
102:00
Beast that I bought I have two of them
102:03
they're going to go side by side on my desk these are going to be my main monitors I'm finally going to have some
102:08
legit monitors because I didn't even have 1080p monitors and one of my
102:11
monitors is still Square layout like uh
102:15
I've been student budget for a long time so I've been running off the original
102:19
monitor that I ever purchased for quite a while now um so those two will be side
102:24
by side and then I'm going to be putting on an ARM above those two um my old
102:29
school 18 my old school 18inch um and that is
102:35
going to be to monitor servers instead of being a main
102:38
Monitor and then basically I'm replacing things that are absurdly old that are on
102:43
my system and then I have had the same
102:46
speakers that my brother and I we went
102:49
to the mall with my mom and bought them from Staples when I was in like grade
102:55
five because we didn't have any speakers on our computer to hear Diablo so I'm
102:59
still running those like $25 speakers from
103:04
how from however long ago so from
103:08
reading a crazy amount of reviews and
103:12
apparently apparently my personal endorsement of this product was not good
103:16
enough for him he's all he's all hurt because I read reviews after he said why
103:20
would you read reviews about it after I told you to buy it you told me to 7h was
103:23
good it didn't fit my freaking head did they I said they sounded good they also
103:29
didn't fit my head but did they sound good they did they sounded very good
103:32
they're very good headphones and I would recommend them to someone with a smaller head than me so basically you're saying
103:38
you have too big of an ego to take my recommendations no I'm saying that I'm
103:41
looking into anything else that might be different about the product okay so you
103:45
were worried these speakers wouldn't fit your
103:48
head that is an ego issue to be more specific I was looking up direct reviews
103:52
that were comparing the clips promedia 2.1 to these yeah but the I could have
103:58
told you the promedia 21s are not going to hold up in terms of Base my dad has
104:02
the promedia 2.1 and I really like them and if you read reviews on it the
104:05
promedia 21s are better at multiple ranges but these of a flat line I know
104:10
exactly how good the promedia 21s are because I did a butt ton of research
104:14
about them a billion years ago when they were released and you still didn't know
104:18
the first thing about computers they've changed I know they have they've gotten
104:22
like a lot worse yeah a lot worse now the original ones I would be there would
104:27
be a competition I just wish I still had my promia ultra 5. ones this is what I
104:32
got by the way best computer speakers ever made bar
104:36
none but that's a shame I actually bought a set of SP 2500s too I already
104:41
have SP 2500s but these were a really good deal they're like a factory refurb
104:46
and it's Corsair so it can't be that bad um so I I got a set for my wife so now
104:51
she can get rid of the FX Xbox speakers that she's using now that have a little
104:55
bit of hiss uh at close range like it'd be fine if you were using it with your
104:59
entertainment center this is this is what I'm talking about he brings this up
105:03
now do you remember trying to sell those to me the fexes yep how much was I going
105:08
to charge you didn't tell me there was a hiss are you sure 100% I remember you
105:13
saying that earlier today and I was like huh oh there's a way there's a work
105:18
around oh really yeah no no there's a work around then why is it a problem
105:22
that she has those she's lazy do the work around for her no no no the
105:25
workaround is something you have to do every time oh that's annoying you switch
105:28
to headphone mode when you're not using them as speakers oh well yeah that's she doesn't
105:35
want to do it it's a woman but if you're
105:39
not using your speakers as speakers it should always be a headphone one yeah I
105:43
don't I don't know man like like I said there's a workaround okay seriously but
105:48
she doesn't want to do it so so I'm going to get rid of those and she'll get
105:53
SP 2500s which I know don't have any hiss I've heard that too yeah very very
105:59
good you've heard that it wasn't good enough that I told you that I read
106:03
reviews for everything come on I do you read reviews for everything except the
106:07
things that I ask you to read reviews for everything but you did so much
106:10
research about the PA series you found out stuff that I couldn't figure out
106:15
back when I was doing the unboxings like the difference between the RSQ and the
106:18
non rcq the QRS and the r and the the QRS and the R I think it took me for
106:23
ever to figure that out when I give him something and I'm like okay we're doing an unboxing this hold on hold on I'm
106:28
going to find one of the pieces of paper you hand me okay but he gives me like two to five
106:34
minutes hold on I'm finding a it's not exactly Fair that's like two to five
106:38
minutes from where we're talking so by the time I actually get to the computer
106:42
I've got like one to four minutes left you come up with like three facts about
106:46
it that are all on the box when I'm like no no the things I need to know about it
106:50
I don't know what's on the box when I'm looking up online
106:54
maybe you should start with looking at the box also it doesn't give me the Box most of the
106:58
time not not fair accusations this is
107:02
when I've got like I meticulously research products that I buy because I
107:05
want to make sure that I'm buying the right thing because the products he buys matter more to him than the products
107:10
that he's making videos about for you no you only give me two to five minutes
107:15
that's what you just said I've been hours on these how do you have time for
107:20
this I don't sleep all I told you there
107:24
was Forum problems last night so I was up until 4 in the morning that kind of stuff happens so
107:29
was Mr Wizard oh hi Mr Wizard if you're
107:34
watching everyone's tuning out of the live stream they don't want to watch
107:37
this you're boring you're boring you're boring them it's your live stream that's
107:41
true it's my live stream all right okay we're we're done
107:45

107:48
thank you for watching we'll see you again next time and as always uh stay
107:53

108:06
were recording to exploit yeah there we go is that better now yeah that's better
108:12
now are we still live does everyone know that you just did that yeah you should
108:16
probably turn it off now I'm going to delay so you can feel awkward where do I
108:21
even go right here oh oh oh oh
