0:47
going to stay with you guys throughout the show and we're going to cycle through lineus media group members and
0:52
they're going to talk about all the important things that they did this year
0:55
things I thought was super dope things I thought was super crap uh things that
0:59
were hard things that were easy whatever
1:02
okay yeah I think that's a show what was
1:06
yeah we're yeah
1:28
start okay we have a
1:34
nom learn things and Dollar Shave Club
1:39
clean up for your family that you're going to go visit on Christmas man yeah
1:42
you should probably do that I I'm yeah I need to get haircut too I need to go do
1:47
like both those things I got a haircut those places are probably closed
1:51
probably whatever yeah I went to our hairdressers and they were like where's
1:54
your friend oh yeah and I was like oh his hair is really long now yeah his
1:58
hair is really long anyways so what was what was the I think
2:02
I know this answer what was the worst thing that happened this year for you I
2:06
think I know this answer you do I think so uh I can say what I think it is yeah
2:12
the prank which one the office robbery
2:16
prank I mean okay that wasn't even that bad because
2:21
we had like I was just disheartened from that
2:27
because the night before Oh the title's wrong oh goodness okay where do we
2:31
change that I'm not logged in as him uh one sec one sec brutal we'll change the
2:38
title anyways for people that don't know about the office robbery prank it was on
2:42
Channel Super Fun um the first prank
2:45
that happened was a bunch of guys in the office pranked lonus to try to make him
2:49
think that he was going to miss a really important flight um and it was horrible
2:54
so lonus and I mainly lonus definitely
2:57
mainly lonus but lonus and I got everyone back back by making people
3:01
think that the office had been robbed and then that turned
3:05
into um us what are we
3:09
creative uh I think we're a talk
3:14
show
3:18
okay um yeah so yeah people freaked out and
3:26
yeah anyways now you're up um we had released the like here's our crazy new
3:31
uh new security system thing the night before and in the beginning of that
3:35
lonus was like our old one was laughable
3:38
it's terrible like blah blah blah and
3:42
then I think we had like a work function that night and I went to him I like
3:46
brought him I was like I think this is a really bad idea like there's still going
3:49
to be like a number of days before we move out like and then uh and like some
3:56
people did know our address for sure at that point yeah
4:00
but then we went in the next day and everything was rans sacked and robbed
4:04
and I was one of my favorite Parts in the video is like everyone's running
4:08
around screaming freaking out and then Nick's in his office just
4:12
like yeah just every everyone was like
4:16
high level of like anger burkel basically killed someone uh like people
4:21
were freaking out and then Nick is just like I'm depressed I was like I tried to
4:27
stop this yeah I tried tried I tried I
4:30
did everything I could so so what other
4:34
important stuff happened I don't know like there's so much stuff that on my
4:39
side that I can't really like talk about which is the tough part yeah but like
4:43
that's fair just getting collaborations on a lot of really big videos was
4:47
probably a really important part like doing the two Gamers one CPU with Cooler
4:50
Master yeah um there's that thing that's
4:54
coming out in Under 12 hours yeah the thing that was really largely people on
5:00
YouTube see it it will have come out 24
5:04
hours ago so go see the last release on
5:07
the channel if you want to know what we're talking about oh good but these
5:11
people it's a the live viewers it's a teaser yeah so it's a thing it's a thing
5:16
and it's colorful and it's really interesting I think Ed posted a teaser
5:21
of like the intro screen on his Twitter
5:25
that makes sense it said something like Merry Christmas or something so I think that's Ed Yago
5:30
Yago edag Ed Yago Edo one of those um
5:33
but yeah stuff like that um getting like
5:36
dbrand on scrapyard Wars debrand or some guys like what the hell have you guys
5:40
done you're 27 hours early yeah yeah
5:43
it's more as Christmas dude yeah debrand on scrapyard Wars was sick D Brand's
5:47
awesome scrapyard Wars also awesome dbr put those two together awesome
5:52
dbrand my phone like blew up in my pocket so now I have a new one I guess
5:57
yeah you got the Z5 premium Z5 premium um I'm trying to think of what the other
6:02
like really important Ultra ride Festival Ultra ride Festival is really
6:05
really cool if you guys want to see um Ryland our Winner's uh actual setup uh
6:13
go over to Linus's Twitter uh because I
6:16
actually just shared ryland's video from Linus's Twitter um it's really cool lots
6:20
of good stuff you guys probably already saw the build yeah probably which is
6:24
insane with the uh the best SLI setup
6:28
ever that was honestly one of my favorite moments of the year was
6:33
watching Linus's face as he's just like you shouldn't buy the blah blah blah
6:37
it's stupid and then he just looks down he's
6:41
like and he's literally speechless for
6:44
like 5 seconds and he's like
6:47
no no it was just it was such a genuine
6:53
moment so brutal I actually quite enjoyed that what about you man like
6:58
what were your favorite projects the year I'm sure Fallout bomb is up there
7:02
the bomb like hands down the Fallout bomb was by far my favorite project um
7:07
that made me super excited one thing that I've talked about fairly publicly
7:11
is that while I and everyone probably
7:14
watching and some of the people that work here not necessarily everyone uh I
7:20
love computer hardware it's great but it
7:24
kind of got a little slow in the last year or two um things are really
7:29
predictable everything think's 10% faster if it's in
7:32
the price range it's like oh it's going to run that fast cool um but we're all
7:39
creative people we like doing fun things and inspired by the PC build log section
7:44
of the Forum where people do crazy crap all the time I started to realize that
7:48
uh everything's really fast and that's cool but the really fun part about
7:52
computer modding is actually just the modding um
7:56
so doing the bomb like re-inspired me to
7:59
love computer hardware again which was actually really cool that's a pretty big
8:03
St seriously though it did because like putting the Nano in there the whole time
8:08
I'm just like man this is so sick like when the Nano first came out I was like
8:12
yeah it's a short Graphics Cardy you were like one of the only people that
8:16
was like there are really cool situations for this everyone else was
8:19
just like eh yeah yeah and but then even then I was like I would never buy one
8:23
but there's really cool situations for it and then I had the bomb and I was like this is the best card right now
8:29
feel was like nothing would be better in this situation this is exactly what I
8:33
need and then the fact that like processors are running at lower
8:37
temperatures I didn't even care that much but then when it's in the bomb I'm
8:41
like this is really important now so like I don't know I I it made me care a
8:46
lot more about having low draw and everything so you could actually fit
8:49
like a 450 W power supply in there and like have it run the whole system and
8:53
having power spides that are that small be like solid gold 80 plus uh 450 w
8:59
power supplies is like okay that's pretty sick um yeah I don't know that
9:04
was that was I very very much liked the bomb um I think my favorite part of 2015
9:11
has been the like rebirth and Resurgence
9:14
of Channel Super Fun yeah cuz it's been
9:18
going crazy especially in like the summer and I think that might be like a
9:22
seasonal thing like I think people might be a little bit more interested yeah
9:27
there's a lot more a lot more clickable stuff I think they came up in the summer but like doing stuff like rocket league
9:32
in real life rocket league in real life was amazing who gets to do that yeah
9:37
like it's it's so ridiculous swag
9:40
jousting so ridiculous um the one that came out on
9:45
vessel last night so vessel people should be over if you should have
9:50
watched it already yeah if you haven't you should definitely watch it should
9:53
should we just say what it is sure yeah the the Star Wars one it's a Star Wars
9:58
custom made lightsaber yeah DIY lightsabers under $25 bomb cost so yeah
10:05
and there's like there's really sick special effect
10:09
Stu I see Burl's actually watching it on his computer now yeah he is that's
10:14
that's awesome but I really really enjoyed that video and Channel Super Fun
10:17
is probably my favorite Channel right now um I'm going to say something a
10:21
little bit weird I don't really watch our L detectives videos on vessel much I
10:25
watch every single one of our Channel Super Fun videos like within an hour of
10:28
it coming out on vessel every single time I can't wait yeah that's not even a
10:33
shill thing like I literally do that um that's just the channel being awesome
10:39
yeah yeah but yeah it's been fun man a lot of people like I created a thread
10:43
yesterday about like oh tell me what your favorite part of 2015 was for lus
10:47
Media Group um a surprising number of people really liked the Pyro which I was
10:52
pyro the I know yeah but I think it was
10:55
partially Linus's ARM hair getting burnt that people enjoyed very much or hitting
10:59
macb or hitting the Mac cuz he asked on the Forum right right so right true true
11:03
true I don't know um what about new people you're now working with another
11:07
guy in your department yeah I know he sucks he's not he's not here he's on a
11:12
bus he's on a Greyhound right now so he's probably not even watching CU too
11:15
much data yeah I'm sure whatever Colton but uh no he's good man everyone there's
11:20
a lot more people now it's crazy cuz Dennis Colton and John all I was I think
11:25
the sixth person here okay I totally
11:29
lost now there's like now there's like 11 were you before Burk or after before
11:34
before okay I thought you were after no
11:37
but yeah it's crazy CU like you were like oh yeah it feels like you just
11:41
started a few months ago it feels like a few months ago burkel started and that
11:45
was over a year ago now B's like an old school employee at this point yeah yeah
11:49
it's crazy and that's why like I was thinking up videos to put on this list
11:54
and I was going oh yeah this one and I was like that happened in 2014 yeah what
11:59
the heck like when did we build the mineral computer was that 2014 or 2015
12:04
like middle of 2014 yeah that's crazy it started in like June or July of 2014
12:08
that's insane because I looked at this and was like oh why is there no Miner oil
12:12
computer it's like wait what did I do this
12:16
year I remember things in like the last couple months yeah um going back to
12:22
compy Tex was cool getting another chance at compy text was cool I think we
12:26
did it right this time sending one team not two team te cuz CES has enough
12:30
content for two teams but I don't think comex does three teams this year yeah
12:35
we'll probably be fine CES has a lot of stuff CS has a lot of stuff comex is not
12:40
quite as much stuff yeah um hanging out with Dennis before he became an employee
12:45
that was pretty cool yeah yeah yeah and
12:48
then lonus was like so what do you think of him and we're asking him like for
12:51
like filming and editing I'm like he's I hung out with him in Taiwan he was cool
12:57
he was helpful I don't know he knew his way around finding things to
13:02
do like what are you asking me yeah
13:08
um working with vessel that was
13:12
a that was a 2015 thing yeah vessel
13:15
launched in 2015 we're talking a lot about we're talking a lot about but I
13:20
was going to talk about the launch day the launch day was ridiculous you and I didn't sleep no we stayed up the whole
13:25
night cuz we were worried about they ended up being fine but we were worried
13:29
about vessel's servers being able to accept all the people signing up because
13:33
they were doing like a free year within the first what 3 days or something first
13:37
72 hours I think so yeah we were like we need to make sure that everyone is able
13:40
to get yeah like like lonus for sale
13:44
made a website for us where people could register and then we had vessel agree
13:48
that if we had them on this registration sheet that they would get an account
13:52
even if the website was down or whatever and all this kind of stuff then their website ended up being fine so we had to
13:57
like send our database over to them like six different times and the whole time
14:02
they're like guys our website's fine you don't need to be doing this I'm like but
14:06
people are still going so we got to keep doing this and then we ended up not
14:11
sleeping and then had to go back to work the next day cuz lonus was in Asia at
14:16
that point yeah so I was mass producing videos lius is in Asia he's supporting
14:21
me and doing his normal job and we had to do the vessel launch that was insane
14:25
I forgot that happened this year yeah people are like oh you guys just make
14:29
videos it's fine we were working literally 20 hour work days oh yeah for
14:34
at least like a week while lus was at least a week yeah like that was
14:37
ridiculous CU we had to make up for all the mistakes of X right that's all we
14:43
going to put out there is X x yeah
14:47
um moving to the new office that'll happen this year this whole place
14:52
happened this year I okay I can comment on my experience with the new office my
14:56
entire workflow got destroyed
15:00
because there was no warning so it was
15:03
literally like Hey we're moving today I was like okay like I have all these
15:08
things happening like that I can't miss they're like yeah okay well do them as
15:12
well as the move and I'm like you kidding what so yeah the move
15:19
was extremely difficult for me yeah um
15:24
like once I got like a week into it it was fine but just the first couple days
15:27
I was like well everything is SC like everything is just done yeah um it
15:33
was ridiculous like looking around here and seeing how much stuff we have and
15:38
how much we had when we were at that house like people hate on how dirty it
15:42
was but lus lonus is right when he says it's like you're trying to do one of
15:46
those picture puzzles where you have one missing block and you have to move the
15:50
rest to make a picture except there's no missing block so you're just trying to
15:54
slam stuff into each other all day long there was no like this place is on
15:59
honestly getting to the point of like being full and we fit a very large
16:04
percentage of this stuff in that house house way smaller than this it's like
16:08
half the size less less than half
16:11
yeah that was crazy um yeah the move was
16:16
ridiculous though it's been so good since then though yeah the new the new
16:21
space has been I'm sure you guys have noticed in the videos I actually saw one
16:24
person being like the old videos were better and I was like what videos are
16:27
you watching yeah but people always say that yeah I I had to watch a video for
16:32
some reason I think I was doing research for something like a previous product or
16:36
whatever and we had a video on it so I watched it and the whole time I'm just
16:39
like wow this was pretty bad like what were
16:44
we doing I like I I understand it
16:48
because like at that point in time I think we had two
16:52
editors so I think there was four of us yeah there was four of us so we had two
16:56
editors and we were still releasing like nine videos a week
17:00
so like I got it but watching the thing I was like damn I'm happy that we're
17:06
where we're at now because the competition's really good yeah and back
17:10
then we would not have been able to keep up if we were where we at then compared
17:14
to now like everyone like every Tech YouTuber now is
17:18
crazy yeah even just looking at like Hardware
17:22
Canuck's like picture quality like everything they release just looks
17:25
beautiful everything they do is amazing
17:29
just ABS beautiful like I love what Brandon does and then I watch what
17:33
Dimitri does and I'm like this is so amazing and slightly different yeah but
17:37
just I like that they're not the same that makes me really happy yeah they
17:41
have just like such a bromance it's great speaking of Brandon should I pull
17:44
him in yeah
17:50
BR I'll go get him okay anyway bye
17:53
twitch so this is kind of going to be how it goes for the whole whatever you
17:58
want to call this show it's not weekly analysis and news at all this is like
18:02
yearly analysis and no news um so
18:06
basically that was Nick's segment I
18:09
didn't want to kick him off but we talked for a while and I need to go
18:13
through like basically everyone at the office so yeah we're g to move on a
18:19
little bit I don't know where Brandon is so I'm gonna try to find a way to keep
18:24
talking um my oh wow I can't even see
18:27
xsplit give me a second hi Aunt
18:31
Venom hi Nick do you find Brandon Brandon will be a few minutes okay but
18:36
he's coming yay yay um yeah what do you
18:41
expect in 2016 just more of
18:45
everything I want to do more crazy builds more better that's going to be a
18:50
thing for me I think I want that to be a thing for I don't know if I'm be able to
18:54
make it a thing for me I I will have personal rig updates in 2016
18:59
at least two big ones yeah um well okay
19:02
at least one big one let's let's not get ahead of ourselves here I need to make
19:06
sure that I don't over promise there will be at least one big personal rig
19:10
update if I end up doing my second build then there will be two but I don't know
19:15
if I'm going to doing a second build what else in 2016 new content new cont
19:20
we've discussed a couple ideas possible new channel maybe yeah we have a couple
19:25
things kicking around there's stuff kicking around um there's one really
19:30
solid Channel idea but we can't talk about it yet there's H yeah rip rip um
19:37
there is an expansion
19:42
or like an extrusion from a channel that we
19:47
have that may be coming soon so stay tuned for that oh that yeah okay that
19:52
going to be fun yeah yeah it's an okay way of describing it no one's going to
19:55
get it but it kind of makes sense it's like think about think about think about
19:59
the channels that we have and then we're taking one of those and we're going like
20:03
okay this is the theme of the channel we're going to do something specific
20:07
that's like similar but quite different it's not like DLC like it's bigger than
20:11
that it's much bigger than DLC yeah it's
20:14
like but then it's not a total new thing
20:19
completely so it's not like on the level of like uh it's not Diablo I yeah it's
20:26
diablo one expansion pack one yeah yeah
20:30
anyway hi Brandon bye what were your
20:34
favorite things that happened this year oh my God that's a really broad question it is
20:39
a broad question uh let's see did you go to NAB this year I did go to NAB this
20:44
year so how was that NAB was awesome are you planning on going this I would like
20:49
to do go again that would be awesome like it if you guys want to want him to
20:53
go again go watch his recent video on the camera
20:56
thing2 and share it and like it and there's another video coming out that's
21:00
on vessel still right now um that's a
21:04
handy Tech but it's camera Edition handy Tech under $50 which is the lowest handy
21:09
Tech that we've ever done so five Bongo ties
21:14
basically um but yeah NB was good this
21:17
year like it was it was interesting seeing all the new stuff and going in
21:22
actually covering it for the first time cuz I've been there before I've been
21:26
there once um going the second time you learned a lot and you get to see like a
21:29
lot of um how people do things that aren't like you know what we do so it's
21:34
that's always really interesting I would actually even like I probably won't end
21:37
up going I would like to go to neb as a spectator just to
21:40
see because I'm starting to slightly get interested in that kind of stuff so it'
21:45
be just kind of cool to like see things that I probably won't understand right
21:48
off the bat hey the first time I was there I was just like what is that what
21:51
I don't know what that does that's cool though and just everything's over it's
21:54
overwhelming it's like it's being like it's like being at CES but not knowing
21:58
anything about tech like just be what's
22:01
a smartwatch I don't right right right yeah I think that could be cool cuz like
22:05
I know I know next to nothing about all that kind of stuff but I'm trying to get
22:09
into it right um so that could be fun what else is it like you're hosting a
22:12
lot more videos now um yeah it's been an interesting part of it I'm still
22:16
improving but uh I I've enjoyed it a lot
22:19
more than I thought I would which is good um I guess yeah talking about
22:25
camera stuff is I do that anyway so like
22:28
lus just like just do it in front of a camera so I'm like okay sure gave it a
22:33
shot a couple times I hopefully keep doing it he seem to be very well
22:36
accepted on the channel which is actually super cool that's cool thanks guys yeah yeah um what was your favorite
22:43
thing to shoot this year favorite thing to shoot oh my God it's a really I don't
22:47
even if I could even think of how many over 300 videos you got to pick one I've
22:51
had to shoot this year or like everything that not even necessarily
22:55
yeah right uh honestly
22:59
the thing that we just shot the other day really yeah that I was hoping I
23:03
can't really talk about okay so that is releasing if you're watching live that
23:07
is releasing in 10 hours if you're watching in the archive it was the one
23:12
before this video yeah cuz this video is being
23:16
uploaded tomorrow oh I see tonight's video yeah right right yeah yeah that's
23:20
right weird yeah it is weird but I was I was hoping you'd like shooting that
23:23
that's cool it was good yeah cool cuz I've always I always like preparation so
23:29
we we had a little more time to prepare for that and it was good I think it went
23:32
really smoothly and I think I'm watching
23:35
edit it right now and it it's turning out really well yeah have you seen a cut
23:39
of it at all no but you should see the part I was watching a little bit of the part where you guys were like talking
23:43
and then they were talking and it was working out really well good okay cool
23:47
that's really good that's as vague as I can be that I'm really excited for that
23:50
what I'll drop in terms of hints is that
23:54
uh scrapyard Wars was the start of the
23:57
show like kind of content the next one
24:00
that we're doing is one episode not multiple episodes you don't have to wait
24:04
for anything it's all there in one big thing and it's kind of this same idea of
24:10
show like content that's all the information I'm going to give you guys I
24:14
hope you guys like it it's my little brainchild and yeah I really want people
24:18
to like it a lot so we can do more of them because it's really fun yeah yeah
24:22
yeah all the I don't know like I guess from a we're in a new office now that's
24:27
probably like my how do that you have the lighting grid and stuff now compared
24:31
to the old we now we now have a lighting grid which allows me to hang the
24:37
majority of the lights that we use on or like above so we don't have to have
24:41
stands on the ground which frees up a lot of floor space and helps us out when
24:45
we're moving stuff around and like need to move quickly and oh bye Nick you
24:49
already here Merry Christmas have a good one um and having that
24:55
just minimizes setup Time by so much
24:58
I love when Co time has been saved yeah like took us a while to get everything
25:04
done but now that it's all done and I'm looking up and I just see lights everywhere it makes me
25:09
happy if you know Brandon like he's not exaggerating it probably directly
25:14
increases his happiness level yes absolutely every single day I walk in
25:17
here oh I don't have to set up five things before we can do anything that's
25:20
great the other day after that crazy thing that we filmed I think you had
25:24
left and I came in here and was realized
25:27
that all the lights were on I was like like how do I do this and then followed
25:30
the followed the cable found the squid pressed the one button it was like all
25:36
wow that's really nice yeah I'm still going to make that even better but for
25:40
now that's how how it is one switch which is still good it makes a lot
25:44
easier to manage things how about you what was your like I've I'm keep on
25:50
bouncing back and forth so I'm I'm G to try to answer that in regards to things
25:54
that you were a part of I guess is how what was the what was what other this
25:58
year like I feel like this year started and I blinked and now we're at yeah I
26:03
know seriously that's uh like when Nick and I were on here we were just slowly
26:07
remembering all the things and part of the problem is filtering out things that
26:10
happened in 2014 yeah cuz some of them feel like they spill over we we produced
26:14
so much stuff that it's really hard to remember um one thing that I liked was
26:18
going back to Taiwan again that was cool that was really awesome yeah Taiwan was
26:22
awesome computex was a lot of fun it's nice seeing all the people we get to see
26:25
when we go to shows like that and uh Taiwan like super awesome one of my
26:29
favorite places people are so nice there yeah one thing that I noticed is
26:32
everyone gives Canada The Stereotype of like everyone in Canada is really nice
26:37
and that's great and I like that because I like being known as like a nice
26:41
Canadian person that's cool um but then you go to Taiwan and like honestly I was
26:47
like man I think I need to be nicer because these guys are nicer than me and
26:51
that's like our stereotype I know I need to step up my game um it was surprising
26:57
how welcoming everyone is honestly I didn't even feel like it
27:01
was that crowded like their population's really high but their density seems all
27:05
over the place depending on where you are there City like that's one thing
27:09
about Canada is there's not a ton of us there's less people in all of Canada
27:13
than there is in just the state of California um but we all bundle into
27:17
these tiny Ultra compact groups it's
27:20
ridiculous um so like Vancouver the city that we're really close to is like jam
27:25
packed and then uh Taiwan has cities
27:29
that are just sprawling and really big
27:32
so the density is there it's not
27:35
insane it's definitely there though but then it spreads itself out a little bit
27:40
in Canada it's like nope shove it in a little corner we have all this land but
27:44
screw it yeah let's not use that pack into these little things so yeah it
27:48
actually wasn't that bad I don't know
27:52
Happ this year we did another scrapyard Wars we did another scrapyard Wars that
27:56
was inter did we do two this year we I think the water cooling one was this
28:01
year yeah I guess it started this year so we did two scrapyard Wars and we did
28:05
the new thing yeah cool so we did we did
28:08
three show like content things um one
28:12
thing that Nick brought up is that Channel Super Fun evolved a lot this year yes it did um so lonus Tech dips
28:18
shifted a little bit we do more like fun show likee things like building the
28:23
crazy servers uh building the bomb doing
28:27
the whoo doing the two Gamers one CPU
28:30
rig um like fun things like that and we
28:33
still do reviews and then Channel super
28:36
fun has like way more high quality stuff
28:40
uh instead of it being mostly an afterthought and making sure that it
28:43
only took up like half hour of our time every week now it's like actually a big
28:48
deal and well produced and interesting things yeah making the time for it is
28:52
worthwhile just cuz those videos are so fun to do MH uh and like where we where
28:57
it can go can kind of be in so many different way like what the things that
29:01
you can do on the channel is nuts yeah yeah it's it's awesome but Nick's done a
29:05
really good job of like taking the Reigns on that channel and like bringing
29:09
it to something that's it really has so Nick Van Burl
29:13
like basically uh like quote unquote
29:17
owns that channel like he he does a lot of the idea starting stuff and if
29:22
someone gives him an idea he's the one that actually implements everything so
29:26
like you might spit an idea at him but he does everything for it um he is often
29:31
shooting it or plans how it's going to be shot and then might host it he drives
29:36
a lot of the hosting Nicki V whatever yeah um he edits most of it he does like
29:41
a lot of the social and stuff for it like he's worked very hard to bring it
29:47
to even more high quality content than
29:50
what it used to be which is great and has a little icon thing I need
29:55
to make one for you oh oh that's Co
29:58
there's me Dennis ble Nick light and
30:02
lonus where are those pictures from from my personal
30:05
twitch um if you subscribe not to shout out my own thing if you subscribe to my
30:09
personal twitch you get little icons of lpes members
30:14
um but yeah now now that I have enough subscribers I can add more so I want to
30:17
finish off the rest of the team cool what else happened this
30:22
year God it's like a it's I think it it
30:26
feels so fast that I can't even remember half the things I like was it this year
30:31
was that a long time ago we were in a house not that long ago
30:37
yeah and I just remember counting down the days from when we were all like oh
30:41
yeah we're moving and then we're like wait we're moving in like five months
30:47
okay yeah how was the uh the prank the
30:51
office getting robbed oh okay like I I
30:54
think this will be our last thing and then I'll pull yeah sure I want
30:58
I remember driving up to the house and
31:02
the door was wide open and who I think it was Ed was standing outside I'm just
31:07
like what's going on and then nick nick nick uh Nikki V walks outside he's like
31:12
Brandon grab a camera start shooting I'm like why what's going on and then I look
31:17
inside the house I'm like whoa what happened and they're like we
31:21
were robbed I'm like oh my God like just
31:24
and then and then I think I think it was Teran who came or no wait was it Taran
31:30
or Nick they one of them came downstairs like Brandon your headphones are gone I'm like
31:35
oh sure I still remember the quote in the video of you being like well at
31:41
least all the camera gear is still here that was the first thing I checked I'm
31:45
like wait what Thief wouldn't take camera that doesn't even make any sense
31:49
um so I I like for like honestly a
31:53
second thought wait is this a joke no it's not a joke it's way like I think
31:57
what sold it to me was lius screaming
32:00
about teran's or um screaming at you about the oatmeal on on the floor that
32:05
was like when I heard that upstairs I'm like oh yeah this must be real he had that plan to yell at me for that from
32:10
like the Friday before that that yeah
32:14
that really sold it and I was completely
32:17
immersed in the the believability of it and when we got
32:21
upstairs and we did that he's like so
32:24
hey guys by by the way remember the that
32:28
moment just wow remember when you made me miss that flight thatone just like
32:33
what what like really you really wrecked
32:36
this whole place just for this yeah that actually happened so epic it was awesome
32:41
all right hey lonus your turn
32:46
up come come come hither I can get Nick
32:50
as well I think he's pretty are you not free I'm coming okay there we go all
32:56
right there we go well thank you thank you Brandon for joining
33:00
us so what were your favorite or least favorite things of this year there are
33:05
literally three items in the inventory system manufacturer razor description
33:12
headphones thank you whoever entered those you still have oh yeah I guess I
33:18
still have huge thing yeah uh so we
33:22
played a fun game today called hide the mustache on your face
33:29
nope no that's not what we played sorry what are we what are we doing did you
33:32
enjoy it did you like it yeah it's a fun game what it is I liked it to no I I had
33:36
I had a really good time I actually we end up playing that a lot at my place when we have games nights and stuff yeah
33:40
because it's actually pretty yeah it's a lot of fun yeah Channel Super Fun coming up yeah next Wednesday I guess so the
33:46
whole idea is just what were your like most impactful or important or favorite
33:51
or least favorite things that happened this year What mattered to you in 2015
33:54
What mattered to me in I think the biggest thing in 2015 was um moving into
34:00
the new office was an obvious one uh but
34:03
for me the biggest part of moving into the new office even was
34:09
that was achieving the goal of
34:13
organization and it took a long time and
34:16
it's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but compared to what we were
34:21
dealing with before being able to go gee
34:24
I sure need a DVI cable right now and there being one place where I can go
34:28
where there will with 90% certainty be a
34:31
DVI cable make such a huge difference to
34:35
my workflow and even having somewhere to work like one of the worst things uh
34:39
before we left the old office was setting up servers and working on
34:44
servers because they're loud um they're
34:48
bulky and you can't really because they're loud and bulky you can't have
34:52
them in a set you can't have them in an office space so the place I actually had
34:56
to work on all the server stuff was at the top of the stairs in the middle of
35:00
the hallway people terrible literally needed to step over me to get down the
35:05
stairs or across the hallway to talk to Nick and like big guys like myself I had
35:09
to like ARM pull myself over and like jump four or five stairs to like launch
35:14
myself over top of them cuz I'd be just laying along the top of the stairs with
35:18
a keyboard and mouse on the floor at the top of the stairs and a server or two in
35:22
the hallway and uh I I know there's more than one person with a scar on their leg
35:27
from uh from hitting the the edges of the the ear mounts yeah burkel's waving
35:31
at us from those servers in the hallway so so that was the big thing is there
35:35
was a lot of skepticism from the rest of the team um about the move not about
35:41
that it would be good but about that we would be able to keep it tidy um and
35:46
about that it would change so much and I
35:49
think maintaining the tidier workspace is a big part of what changed people's
35:53
positivity and changed people's attitudes and changed people's um just
35:58
general General state of being um and while I did have to be a bit of a jerk
36:04
about things for quite a while listened up now well that's because a lot of
36:08
people have fixed a lot of habits already there's no more I mean this was
36:12
this was one of your this was one of your uh uh like laying down the law
36:16
things was people were leaving pea spots next to the
36:20
toilet oh the things I was angry about
36:23
okay I was like what the hell dude no no
36:26
so he sends out this rate email like guys this ain't kindergarten you know if
36:31
there's a if there's a drop of pee that falls off the end of your penis then you
36:35
wipe it you know you wipe it you put you take that toilet paper you put that in
36:39
the toilet so I was like okay that's it
36:42
if anyone catches anyone else if anyone sees a PE spot on the floor you tell me
36:47
the time and I will look up on the surveillance system who the last person
36:51
to go into that bathroom was so if you see it you better report it unless
36:55
you're going to clean it and it's St and it was done actually one occurred but I
37:01
dealt with it privately okay okay there you go all right so so so that behavior
37:06
was gone all right um I never saw it again
37:10
so in in terms of my side it TT chats
37:13
like lick it up thanks twitch chat gross e so that I think for me that's the
37:18
biggest thing is the Shi having a kitchen that isn't a set is great and
37:22
having a kitchen that's not full of dirty dishes because everyone's dishes
37:26
are labeled and you know exact CU everyone's like not me not me not me
37:30
well this spoon says BL on it so we
37:33
either have a Bunton Le or it's Brandon
37:38
Lee or someone stole it but then security footage that's right that's
37:42
right that's a serious people so then people don't want to steal it cuz security footage people are like lonus
37:46
should be a kindergarten teacher honestly I feel like a kindergarten teacher sometimes there is so much more
37:52
to running a business than just barking
37:55
orders and like making the videos
37:58
there's like putting putting policies in place is one thing and then actually
38:03
enforcing policies and is an entirely different one and it's like a constant
38:07
battle like we got some Bose qc15 headphones uh for some people who
38:12
requested noise cancelling headphones for their workstations and literally not
38:18
one of the four of them was entered into the inventory system correctly they were
38:22
all under PC headsets and only two of them had serial numbers entered for them
38:27
I entered number and mine was under PC headsets cuz all the other ones were so
38:32
anyway I fixed them I even I was
38:35
entering it with someone I think it was Brandon I remember going like this isn't
38:39
a headset it's under C headphones cuz
38:43
why C headphones are not they're not peripherals so we made a decision to
38:48
divide them why are they not peripherals because they're not they're a consumer
38:51
electronics device it's not a peripheral how is it not a peripheral because
38:54
normally you would cuz when the peripherals are PC peripherals they're
38:58
computer peripherals but it's still a peripheral does it say does it say PC
39:02
peripheral I'm actually not sure anyway
39:05
I don't know if you were on the committee but we made a group decision
39:09
when we when we changed it because the thing too is I needed them separated
39:12
somehow because if I'm looking for headphones I'm not looking for headsets
39:16
and vice versa so headphones are under consumer electronics and headsets are
39:21
under peripherals I didn't know what CE stood for okay I thought it was closed
39:25
de okay that's a good guess but no um so
39:29
so yeah so it's under consumer electronics why would you make that a
39:33
category makes so much more sense so
39:37
it's little things like that um you know fighting those uphill battles uh you
39:41
know keeping the garbage under control but the good news is that everyone
39:44
continues to improve and I think part of it is out of respect for this thing that
39:48
we earned um because you know with your help uh with Partners like YouTube and
39:53
vessel and you know I think I'm wearing a Squarespace shirt no I'm not but like
39:57
squar space yeah all all those like that
40:01
we earned this workspace that is so much happier and more pleasant and cleaner to
40:06
work in and so I think people genuinely want to improve it so I think that's
40:10
where that comes from also me cracking the Whip and Luke sending out angry
40:13
emails I've done a few of them it's gotten to the point where I get to send happy emails though the other day I
40:18
don't remember if I actually sent the email my phone might have died yeah the Sho did I send the picture Okay okay so
40:23
I took a picture of the shoe rack at the front door and I'm like this makes me
40:28
feel warm and fuzzy inside or something like that all the shoes were on the rack
40:31
all the shoes were tidally side by side on the rack except one pair which was
40:35
under the rack but tucked in under the rack tucked in under the rack is fine
40:39
I'm cool with that yeah I'm cool with that um because there was a few weeks
40:43
earlier where I took a photo and there was literally the entire entrance way
40:46
was just covered in shoes and it's like it's one of those ridiculous it's like
40:50
literally it looks like sometimes and they weren't even like next to each other it would look like people just
40:54
kicked their shoes off in the direction of the rack and like hit it I think
40:57
that's what happened and then I think people would just get frustrated that
41:00
there were so many shoes that they just walk through it so like not only were
41:04
they randomly distributed but then they were kicked around just everywhere don't
41:10
there's a rack like a foot away from where it was um I think the other big
41:14
thing that happened this year was the shift from lonus Tech tips being a show
41:19
where um l or from being a YouTube
41:22
channel where lonus gives you tips and reviews about tech to being one where
41:28
really there could be any number of different people Brandon and Taran both
41:33
hosted their first videos this year I believe Ed did as well uh Luke has
41:37
become a more prominent player in the lineup meaning that we actually have
41:40
five hosts some of which don't show up that often but we have five hosts that
41:46
you might expect to appear on lonus Tech tip so it's becoming less about lonus
41:50
and more about the lonus tech tips brand
41:53
which is which is great that's a really positive change and the other thing that happened is it stopped being just
41:58
reviews um and turned into what we call
42:01
more of a a show yeah format where it can be about what we do uh what we I'm
42:06
really excited i' both people that have been on so far I've brought up the one
42:09
that we shot a little bit ago and will be going up in 10 hours or if you're
42:13
watching the archive yesterday um yep and this will be a simultaneous release
42:17
on vessel and YouTube so be stoked on that um it's going to go to everyone
42:21
tonight it's it's sort of a Christmas special uh someone brought up too Nikki
42:25
V hosting Channel Super Fun MH yep and that's the other thing Channel Super Fun
42:29
is no longer lonus and the LMG crew we've actually had uh Mr Nick van burkel
42:35
take on the take on the challenge of taking Channel Super Fun to the next
42:39
level and and become our primary host there so that's that's I guess the
42:43
biggest change this year is lonus Tech tips becoming more of a show and less
42:48
about just like making us less reliant on like what cool product there is to
42:53
talk about that's a huge deal actually um before there would be dips where the
42:59
channel got kind of a little boring to be completely honest because there
43:02
wasn't interesting products coming out now it's like more motherboards oh
43:05
there's a dip let's do some really cool stuff now because we can actually take a
43:10
break from the really interesting things and because we have a because we have the resources to do it I mean that's
43:15
another thing too we our headcount grew by what like four this year Dennis John
43:21
Colton John Colton uh well yvon's
43:24
joining us technically next year technically January 1 so okay fine I'll
43:29
give you that so we added three people this year which is bananas right did
43:34
burkel get outed this year no late last year very late last year so he's
43:38
basically new this year okay um that's
43:41
fair so so yeah we we just have so much more so many more resources to do what
43:45
we need to do so that's the exciting thing is Linus Media Group being less
43:49
about Linus and more about media and group this year which doesn't mean we're
43:55
going to remove the lonus still going to be the first word you know it's kind of
44:00
like peeing on the fence right like territory marking like I need I have to
44:04
put my name on the building and on your computer on my computer on the shirt
44:09
okay okay the name on the computer was not actually my doing uh that airbrush
44:14
job on my personal R by the way personal rig update is coming it was supposed to
44:17
be this Sunday but uh the Canada Customs looks better in low has some of my
44:22
components yeah I shadowed a little bit um so that was actually done by our
44:25
neighbor and he asks me like do do you want the name on the
44:29
front because I could take that off and I'm just like seems like a lot of work
44:32
for him he had already like clear coded it and everything like he was saying he could take it off and I'm like dude I
44:36
don't want you to do that it's okay it's okay and besides you know
44:40
what I don't mind it course you don't
44:43
and most of Twitter actually most people said to leave it the people who didn't
44:47
say to completely change the design altogether said to leave the name I
44:51
don't really like it yeah that's okay I think he did a good job but I don't I
44:54
like your wife's oh you you've seen yvon hers is really cool yeah do you have it
44:59
here yeah yeah I do this one's pretty sweet so did like did he design both of
45:04
these or like yeah okay yeah I just I said I wanted blue Lightning so I got
45:07
exactly what I asked for and Ivon said that she wanted kind of like an owl
45:10
thing going on so he did like some feather kind of Desy things and these
45:14
really piercing yellow eyes that I think are fantastic I really like that one a
45:19
lot what else um what was your lowest point oh
45:25
wow lowest point this year think it's an interesting conversation the the flight
45:30
Miss Channel Super Fun flight Miss was
45:33
that your lowest point or wanck oh okay so that video is coming
45:37
out this weekend so I'm not going to I'm not going to spoiler that lowest point
45:41
this year did I well did I go on vacation
45:45
this year yes yeah that's why I said the flight miss that was this year no no no
45:49
that that was fine that was just like I was too stressed to be to be low for
45:54
that um no I'd say I'd say my lowest
45:57
point this year was um in terms of like
46:02
being really stressed and like not knowing if I can do this was the time
46:07
leading up to my my two weeks off or two and a half weeks off of vacation um I
46:13
just I we were we it was already going to be crazy because I was trying to
46:18
build up enough content that I wasn't leaving these guys completely in alert
46:21
they'd never been without me for that long so I was trying to bank as much
46:25
content as I could so that they would have to pull as few 12-hour you know
46:29
14-hour days as possible while I was gone and then the vessel launch happened
46:33
and then the vessel launch happened did that anyways but so we had to do a full
46:38
we found out shortly before I left that we were going to have to do a full
46:42
additional week of buffer um and that
46:46
just about just about took me down like I was and and we were in that old
46:51
cramped dirty office and just yeah you know what that's actually
46:56
that's no no I have a new lower lowest point for the year I think the lowest point of
47:01
the Year for me was each time I found
47:05
out from the construction company that we were delayed another 3 weeks or
47:11
another two weeks or another month to move into this place I mean we had
47:14
possession of this place for months before we moved in they were supposed to
47:18
start construction actually before we
47:21
got the building permit because we know the code inside and out so we can get
47:25
started you know no problem turns out they didn't do anything until they had
47:29
permits it was complete outright lie um
47:32
and like trying to trying to keep other
47:36
people up about hey're we're moving soon we're moving soon I know this is really
47:39
hard right now I know we have no space I know that like you have to climb over
47:43
piles of debris to get to your desk um
47:46
and and me myself being just extremely
47:50
frustrated and and yeah knowing that
47:54
even when we finally could move in it was going to be a nightmare because we
47:58
were getting kicked out of our old place we had neighbors call the city and tell
48:02
them that we were running a business out of the property which you're technically not allowed to do and we had too much
48:07
part uh I think you can run one to a
48:10
certain degree but we were well above it we were well over the limit and uh so
48:14
having all that stress and being told you knowy it's delayed it's delayed it's
48:18
delayed I'm like look I have to get out of here so we had to move in before the place was even done which made it so
48:23
much more timec consuming and so much more stressful um so I think that was
48:27
the hardest part of this year there you go yeah anything else you want to bring
48:32
up for this year should we cycle someone else in let's let someone else in I'm on the Lano all the time yeah okay sounds
48:37
good want to grab someone from the editing room I think Taran and Ed are
48:40
both way too swamped so maybe Dennis or
48:43
John let's bring in John John one of our newbies yeah well Dennis is a newbie
48:51
too uh no you have to go online show okay online show
48:57
I'll go on right now okay rock on oh your headphone hair what's that it's
49:01
fine whatever it's fine they'll have to deal with it so guys this is John you've
49:05
probably seen him there's camera on uh Channel Super Fun what channel super
49:09
funds have you been on um I was on Pizza darts I was ons um we did the the
49:15
trampoline dodgeball yeah that was awesome that was my favorite one I think
49:18
that was awesome okay so you haven't been with us for a super long time but
49:22
you saw the old office you saw the entire progress of the new office
49:26
basically basically um John for you guys information is basically responsible for
49:32
more or less all of the writing on Techquickie yeah the vast majority yeah the
49:36
vast majority of all the writing on techi so if you guys are a fan of what
49:40
has been going on on techi lately which has been a Resurgence to a certain
49:44
degree um there you go that's John what
49:47
are your basically what we're talking about is what your favorite things that happened this year what were the lowest
49:52
points of this year what were the highest points of this year um in
49:56
basically realm okay probably the high
49:59
point was walking in here to the new office it was probably what maybe a
50:03
month and a half after we moved in yeah and there was the big lest Media Group
50:08
sign in the front agry I was like oh man it's like we're a real company now you
50:12
know so oh um no but really uh well that
50:18
might have been it I don't know umir probably the worst thing that was a cool
50:21
moment probably the worst thing that happened to me this year other than
50:25
spamming I don't know how many hundreds of thousands of people on Twitter
50:28
accidentally sorry again um um so a few
50:32
weeks ago uh taran's mom came by to meet
50:36
everyone and I had a glass I think it
50:39
was just a glass of water or something it was one of those cheap little Ikea
50:43
glasses that L of Scot us yeah you haven't heard this yet no I don't think
50:46
so okay so L of Scot everyone those little cheap Ikea glasses um to decorate
50:52
so I had mine sitting on my desk and it just had water in it or something
50:56
teran's mom comes in and teran's like oh hey John this is my mom I go to shake
51:00
her hand and you know this is within 5 Seconds of meeting her the water cup
51:05
Falls over and it doesn't fall on the floor it's sitting on the table like
51:09
this and it just goes like like that somehow this thing is so cheap it just
51:14
shatters there's glass everywhere taran's mom is just looking at me and
51:19
I'm just like well that's kind of power for the course as far as what I do here
51:23
so so so that that sticks out the most
51:26
to my head other than the other than the spam on Twitter yeah most people for
51:31
their lowest point I was expecting them to bring up the office robbery cuz I
51:35
remember I just watched it yesterday and I remember you seeing that the laptop
51:39
was gone the prank the yeah I remember
51:42
you seeing that your laptop was gone and I was like oh I I was like panicking I
51:47
have to change everything I fully expected you to be like that was my
51:51
lowest point but that is hilarious and I totally yeah that's that's pretty cool
51:55
yeah what is this Colton's not here so I'm going to
52:00
jump in with his lowest point um issuing copyright strikes against our own videos
52:06
twice he did it again yesterday
52:09
what oh my God that guy's got to work on
52:12
his workflow man oh my goodness what's
52:16
your favorite Channel Super Fun you've WR or not Channel Super Fun favorite uh
52:19
fastest possible you've written favorite fastest possible I've written probably
52:24
that AMD history video I actually learned a lot rying that thing it got a
52:28
lot of views I worked on it a little bit with L as we had some fun conversations
52:32
over you know okay what was the most important thing um um you know I think
52:37
AMD has what only like 20% of the CPU market now I think a lot of people don't
52:41
think about them but they contributes a lot and you know it was it it was fun to
52:44
sort of write and teach about that so right right right that's pretty cool
52:49
um some like you do a lot of the
52:53
benchmarking too which is something that a lot of people might not know when they're watching
52:57
um now that John's been here a big a big problem with my workflow a lot of time
53:02
was that benchmarking takes a disproportionate amount of time most
53:05
people don't realize how long some of these things actually take and they're
53:09
like oh like why don't you guys have more videos or why didn't you like test
53:13
way more stuff and I'm like because it takes a really long time sometimes when
53:18
you're dealing with a let say a graphics card that has not been released yet and
53:22
you're using like beta drivers that they emailed you which are Super not ready
53:25
and you have to overclock it and the driver's just
53:29
like all over the place it can be a disaster so John has helped a ton in
53:34
that category and has freed up a lot of my time you'll see that I've probably hosted more stuff I'm on channel superf
53:39
fun more um there there's a new version of The Forum
53:44
coming whoa very excited most people didn't know about that so I've been able
53:48
to spend tons more time working on that
53:51
um yeah JN has been like Jon was the
53:55
first addition to the team that helped
53:58
pre-production yeah so there we've we've from the start we've added a a bunch of
54:04
camera and editors we've added two sales guys and then we finally added John
54:09
who's actually helped a ton with lonus and I because lonus and I the whole time
54:12
we're like we'll just keep making more things and hopefully everything else is
54:17
fine and we can add people to help them and we'll just hold it up and then
54:20
John's here and that helps now it's still just us three with preproduction still just us three and then that's it
54:25
yeah and just Luke was saying with the benchmarking it can it can definitely
54:29
take a while you know you want to do it the exact same way every time so you're
54:33
not getting unfair variance between cars and you know sometimes drivers don't
54:37
want to cooperate um or sometimes you get to the end of your testing and I
54:41
think you ran into this I've ran into this a billion times I'm sure you've ran into this at least once by now you get
54:45
to the end of your testing and then you're like that number is really
54:49
weird something's wrong I don't know what's wrong and then you figure out
54:53
like oh this like one thing was set incorrectly so now you have to redo like
54:57
everything exactly oh no or like uh what
55:02
was it the Witcher video where I told you the wrong
55:07
Witcher it was like it it was completely the wrong game it had to learn a whole
55:11
new Ben it was oh man that was such a disaster I was like yeah Benchmark
55:16
crisis W and Witcher won but then the one I actually meant which I did not say
55:20
but the one that I meant was Witcher 2 because the whole point was testing Uber
55:23
sampling I think that's how it went right yeah cuz Witcher did not have Uber
55:27
sampling at all which or two did and it was just I think it ran on a completely
55:30
different engine the games were like in no way comparable and I was just sitting
55:33
here like oh no okay so that was a disaster
55:40
yeah anything else important happened this year you moved to this country yes
55:45
I did yeah so that was pretty crazy yeah which is why I have a which is why I
55:49
have a who's saying yeah I have a stupid voice SL stupid accent that would be why
55:53
cuz I'm not I'm not because I'm not Canadian so bit of Southern draw I
55:59
guess I don't know if you're good to go I might pull Dennis in or is there
56:03
anything else you want to talk about oh I don't know what should I talk about
56:07
just the the whole thing is just basically I think we did this last year
56:10
too but it was just lionist and I basically it's just anything more
56:14
related to the company but it doesn't entirely have to be related to the company um that you thought was
56:19
important in a positive or negative way in 2015 it's very broad I talked a lot
56:25
about the Channel Super Fun stuff we've been doing um I talked about some of the
56:29
bigger projects we've done online as techtips um some of my clothes are
56:33
permanently stained pink from painting Linus's
56:37
car okay that was pretty fun yeah it was
56:40
that was a lot ofun how long had you been working here by the time we did that oh not long I not long I think uh
56:47
when did we like beginning of August is when we did that I think so end of July
56:51
it was about a month I hadn't been here for very long so working at a new
56:55
company for about a month and then you paint your boss's car pink yeah that was
56:58
a weird experience um it was we it
57:01
wasn't actually that bad cuz I sort of knew what I was getting into the worst
57:06
part was when I spilled pink paint on Li's driveway and I was just like and
57:10
it's like that oil paint that won't come off and I was like well I'm fired did
57:14
you guys get it off um I got most of it yeah I got most of it because it was
57:18
just kind of sitting there and it was fresh so yeah I was able to I was able
57:22
to take care of it so that makes sense that's pretty funny um um I'm trying to
57:27
think of other things when ixie sent me that pizza with oysters and like
57:33
whatever other crap that was on it it was actually pretty decent and then
57:37
Taran was just like what the hell are you doing this this worst thing so that
57:44
so disgusting oh man it looked and smelled gross I know you liked it and
57:48
that's awesome because at least it got it was a little too salty but it it was
57:51
palatable I'll say that it was palatable so it was I like I couldn't even breathe
57:56
it in and be happy like there was no way I was going to be able to eat that I
58:00
just like looked at it and smelled it and just completely just noped right out
58:04
of there so iie if you're watching jokes on you it's fantastic thanks for the
58:07
pizza we'll see it eventually yeah that's funny I can't even remember I
58:11
think they just did like a coin toss end up figuring out who got trolled by the
58:14
pizza well didn't because it was addressed to me and Taran and maybe
58:20
Dennis it was it was someone else who I think they know or knew would not like
58:25
it so okay I don't know but yeah that was pretty sweet so yeah cool anything
58:32
else I don't want to hog no that's cool yeah I'm probably going to be ending
58:36
pretty soon anyway yeah where's big money is he
58:39
still in the he's probably in there you want to grab him yes I'll grab him
58:43
awesome sounds thanks for watching W show
58:46
yes if you guys have any questions for
58:49
um as as John calls him big money or uh
58:54
Dennis uh let me know in twitch chat I have been kind of somewhat watching you
59:01
guys oh yeah I got to do Burl too I just
59:04
do Dennis and brl at the same time make sure you get Dennis to tell you about
59:10
why I call him big money okay do you know the story I do not the Ethernet
59:14
cable I I have no idea don't trip don't trip there we go I
59:20
was really worried about that one cuz that camera would have bowled right over
59:24
if she tripped wow okay first question
59:27
Dennis why does John call you big money I don't know you don't know I really
59:32
don't know he just he said something about an e
59:35
cable oh okay I bought the so I bought
59:39
the internet C cable from Best Buy oh it
59:44
was 40 bucks 40 bucks for an Ethernet
59:47
cable ah this is cool I never been on
59:50
here you never been on the show so you can see right here that's live so
59:54
everyone's commenting right now you can see people see the see your face yeah
59:58
yeah so people have a little icon of your face um yeah so basically what this is
60:05
is we're just discussing um big important things
60:09
whether they're positive or negative that happened this year this okay so you
60:13
joined the company you came from Taiwan after meeting myself and Brandon that
60:17
well you already knew Brandon but after meeting myself and Brandon over there um
60:21
yeah what what big and important happened uh this year
60:26
yeah so okay start from
60:30
January should I start from okay well like it's it doesn't have to be strictly
60:35
related to the company but more or less like um so I got my I got an a job right
60:42
after my military service I was working in a new station since start from
60:48
January cuz I plan to move back last December so by probably like last year
60:53
this time I always I supposed to be here okay but
60:56
there's some issues so I have to stay in Taiwan and I I have to work in a new
61:01
station till till I got before I got
61:05
this job yeah and yeah that's a really
61:08
big change and it all happened probably like in two weeks oh my good and I I
61:14
have to move everything from Tai to back to my house in tan and move back to here
61:20
and um I just it just happened too fast and a lot of my friends didn't even know
61:25
I am anything else yeah so this would change there so
61:31
many big change happened yeah yeah so you didn't not even everyone you knew in
61:36
Taiwan knew you were leaving oh some of they know cuz but like some relatives
61:42
families they don't know okay yeah yeah yeah cuz it just happened has that been
61:46
brutal or has everyone been cool about it oh they are they are excited for me
61:51
okay yeah they're happy for me that's cool moving here that's cool what about
61:57
U that's a really interesting story uprooting from your country John and
62:00
Dennis both John came from the US it's not actually as big of a change compared
62:04
to Dennis coming straight from freaking Taiwan D you went to school here though
62:08
yeah but John never been here no John has never been here Dennis went to
62:12
school here with the rest of the filming and editing guys that work here so kind
62:16
of knew all those guys already so it wasn't as probably I don't know it's
62:21
it's more jarring in terms of the distance but it's probably less jarring
62:25
because John had never uh lived and worked here before I guess um what about
62:30
directly related to stuff you've worked on here
62:34
um is actually have a lot a lot more stuff we have to
62:40
get done than I thought um cuz when I
62:43
was working for in news it was more time
62:46
consuming I have to finish a lot of videos in probably like 30 minutes but
62:51
in here we have more time but we have more videos we have have we need to do
62:57
uh better yeah yeah yeah um but still it's
63:02
fun I like I like like you have we I
63:06
have to shoot and edit and I have also have to involve in some videos M it's
63:11
not just a editor's job for me yeah yeah yeah what is your favorite video to be
63:15
involved in the Channel Super Fun Channel Super Fun yeah yeah um yeah did
63:20
you like the bomb one or was that unfair cuz you didn't really know it was I
63:24
didn't even know we were playing until last minut yeah okay so that was
63:27
something I didn't know about until after the competition I was actually
63:30
confused cuz I was like Dennis is usually better than those things I like
63:35
why does he just not get it I okay even now I still don't know how to play that
63:39
game yeah okay so everyone else that was participating had been told to go on
63:43
YouTube and watch
63:46
um angle why are people complaining about the angle whatever people were
63:50
told to go on YouTube and watch videos of how the game was played except for
63:56
Dennis so then we all knew how to play to a certain degree we hadn't seen the
63:59
manual yet but we knew there was a manual and we knew how the manual worked
64:03
and then we knew how to actually operate the game denn was never told any of that
64:07
so then is looking at this manual like what do I do with this and right before
64:12
doing that I was shooting b roll and stuff and they like Dennis you're on
64:17
you're in this game I like what I don't even know what we're doing
64:22
yeah oh man yeah that but I'm not Che
64:26
I'm not that dumb no no just didn't know
64:30
what's going on what a jerk that's berl
64:34
constantly heckling on Dennis um what
64:37
was your least favorite thing it's a hard question my least favorite thing
64:44
is um dealing one of the tripod here we
64:48
have there's a tripod I really hate
64:51
every time I walk by I just want to swear to
64:54
it not tripod we use for um green screen
64:59
yeah the main one yeah yeah it's really hard to use it's it just even you label
65:03
is it's it's supposed to label with when the bubbles in the circle but it's not
65:09
and I just hate that tripod so much and I every time I use it I just go back to
65:13
complain to Brandon Brandon is like okay I know I understand I hate that tripod
65:18
that's this thing I my that's pretty funny um what was I going to bring up
65:23
how how is so one thing that you guys might not know is that we actually
65:27
upload videos in China on on Billy B or
65:32
something uh we have Couple website that uploading um Billy Billy Billy
65:38
Billy to to um some other two I kind of
65:43
forget because we have four and so
65:46
basically I every morning I give them
65:49
the script and so they translate I have to export China version for them Nick
65:55
can you stop and so yeah that's
65:58
basically what I do I work with some of Chinese people Yeah so basically he
66:05
uploads a Chinese version of the video and a uh script to them then they
66:10
translate off of the script these guys I think were the same guys who had been
66:14
doing it uh kind of the ghetto way before where they were listening to it
66:18
and then translating it which is rough so now we give them actually our raw
66:21
scripts they translate it from that and then upload it with professional
66:25
subtitles but sometimes if they don't
66:28
understand some words they'll probably ask me like some slangs right like dang
66:32
that kind of stuff like Nick always say some weird words I don't understand and
66:37
do we upload Channel superone over there no but like moving log oh okay yeah yeah
66:42
yeah so they ask me if I don't understand sometimes I don't understand
66:46
either I have to ask you guys yeah yeah that makes sense is there anything else
66:50
you want to bring up or I might cycle bur um we don't have a ton of time left
66:54
but if there's anything else you want to talk well that's super cool is there
66:57
anything else important that happened this year not really I've been moving oh I
67:04
got oh yeah I've been moving how many time I've moved this year four times
67:09
five times from from Tai tan and Taiwan
67:14
to here and I live at Nick's parents
67:17
house for the first probably a week or two I moved to another house and I moved
67:22
to Nick's house and I now I moved to my house
67:26
and I I got my first car in my life and
67:30
I got the first mattress in my life my own mattress and what what else happened
67:37
this year um I got my your own place and your own
67:42
car and all that stuff I used to live by my own in Taiwan so okay but it's it's
67:47
cool I have I never had that big place by my own and it's fun it's good to have
67:52
my own car cuz you cannot live without a car in can
67:56
Bas cuz like first couple like probably first oh no first month first month and
68:01
a half I didn't even have a car and I have to use Nick to drive me around to
68:07
do grocery yeah it was really bad yeah
68:11
it's good to have so many things happening this year and it's really fun
68:16
working here is the best job I've had so
68:19
far that's awesome I actually feel the same in two
68:24
countries yes okay that's pretty cool cool get Burl
68:29
yeah hey Burl you're
68:34
up cool thanks how do how do we get those pictures those pictures um the
68:40
people that have the ones of like you and burko and myself and all that kind
68:43
of stuff I have a twitch Channel That's partnered so if they subscribe to my
68:47
twitch Channel then they can use this so I'll show you to pay yeah I'll show you
68:52
on here these are all oh going to be
68:55
adding more like I want to get one of Brandon I want to get one of Taran I
68:59
want to get one of Colton and John but yeah oh he's coming hello
69:06
bur what's
69:12
that with this shoot
69:16
no okay so I think you probably get the gist at this point uh I don't I actually
69:21
don't know what was the weird I'm seeing nickl and then Dennis on the screen at
69:25
the same time oh wow um basically what's
69:29
going on is what what happened this year to you mostly related to work but
69:33
doesn't have to be completely related to work uh that was important or cool or
69:38
interesting or terrible or bad or
69:42
whatever interesting stories from 2015 r
69:46
a blur what a quick year you went to Germany for vmw oh yeah you went to NAB
69:52
yeah you basically took over Channel Super Fun yeah that was probably my
69:56
favorite part there was the office move all the office moving Vlogs man there's
70:00
a lot of stuff holy there's tons of stuff I'm trying to weigh in on one
70:03
thing but I don't even know there's so many things going on um you start firing
70:08
okay first fire let's start off na last
70:11
year 2015 the spark of a new year that
70:15
was pretty cool I'd never gone to Vegas for work before it was a lot of fun yeah
70:19
a lot of work but like super oh you also did oh no that was technically no you
70:24
did CES too yeah yeah what did I say oh yeah CES
70:27
that was 2015 that's what I was actually talking about yeah that was a lot of fun
70:30
and then doing that WAN Show with everyone I don't know that was like holy
70:34
crap everything so many so much stuff's G on yeah that like I don't know pretty
70:37
much every trip has been really cool going to Germany that was really cool
70:41
for someone said who is this this is Nick Van B also known as Nick V you've
70:46
probably seen him you saw him in the moving Vlogs for sure and you've
70:50
probably also seen him over on Channel Super Fun all over the place uh his main
70:54
job here is heading up leading producing
70:57
filming hosting Channel Super Fun doing that yeah that's i s you know what's
71:03
funny like I did not start off doing that here I started off editing like
71:07
faps and stuff and then doing one Channel Super Fun a week co- doing it
71:11
with tan and then after a while I was like oh I kind of like editing these I
71:14
kind of just want to do this let's see if I can just slide my way into just
71:17
literally just doing this Channel and now that's all I do basically but you
71:22
know other stuff here and there yeah but uh yeah no that's basically my job now
71:27
Channel Super Fun and it's a lot of fun that's obviously the best thing about
71:30
this year is having that be my job cuz you know not so often can you like
71:35
play around and goof around and make stupid editing and do joke like goofy
71:39
I had a I had a buddy over yesterday who's from Colona I haven't
71:43
seen him in probably a year or two yeah
71:47
um but he's like not into computers at all he's just a good buddy of mine from high school and stuff and I started
71:51
showing him like Channel's super fun and stuff he's like how is this your job
71:55
yeah I don't know it's you know what for as fun as it is it makes it really hard
71:59
to explain to people what you do for work it's like H like I make videos for
72:04
work what what kind like I don't
72:07
like if I explain it I sound like such an idiot but it is a job so yeah you
72:13
know it works what was your favorite Channel Super Fun this year somebody
72:16
just posted it I liked painting the car I loved that the the like Nicki V
72:21
Customs version well yeah like I I don't know I hate editing myself cuz I like
72:26
just I hate but then once it's done I like looking back I'm like oh that's
72:29
pretty funny like during the thick of it I'm like man this sucks this is brutal
72:33
but uh the car painting both of them were pretty I liked the first one
72:37
because that was when we had done the car painting in the day we ate pizza we
72:42
went back to the office and that's when the whole fake staged robbery happened
72:46
so that was intense that was insane cuz like what a m like that blew my mind I
72:51
was like what like the office got robbed while we're painting and freak car like
72:56
nobody was at the office like out of all days to not be there yeah that that
73:00
prank was so good that totally like totally fooled me I've never been
73:06
pranked that hard before that was legitimate confusion you almost murdered
73:11
yeah I went driving after someone that didn't exist yeah I straight up got in
73:16
my car and was ripping around like I don't know what would have like if I had
73:20
what the hell what a stupid
73:23
tactic did you find of though you could call the cops yeah I guess so make a
73:27
citizen's arrest yeah but yeah that was
73:30
uh that was pretty CRA so I guess that kind of Loops into the worst part too
73:34
cuz that was like stressful and then moving into this
73:37
place was pretty like it was nice getting you know when it's like you do
73:41
your job all the time and then you get a little break from it and it's so nice
73:44
like oh I don't have to be riding today I'm actually moving stuff and you're
73:48
like oh this is fun and then after like one or two days of moving stuff you're
73:52
like man I really want to do my job
73:55
again this is too much yeah I just realized I cannot sit still hey like I'm
74:01
watching myself on here and here I cannot like just stay still and I do my
74:05
problem is I pump my legs then I put my hands in my lap so the whole chat is
74:09
like why is he fapping cuz I just sit here shaking the whole time and my hands
74:14
are at so then every once in a while I have to just be like uh everything's
74:17
fine everything's fine I'm not doing anything it's weird being on this show
74:22
cuz you're just like when you watch it you're like oh they're talking to each
74:25
other and people but then when you're sitting here you're like oh I'm just talking to a camera with a little bit of
74:29
black tin foil on it it looks like it can't even see us oh man it's like it's
74:35
hiding so what what else do we have on this thing what else are we doing do we
74:38
doing basically it's just a chat just a chat just a chat just talking about what
74:42
was important this year it's already gone long too has it gone too long it's

79:24
always say yes my dad is from there and then they say do you speak Dutch and I
79:28
say no I don't and then they say what's on your tattoo and it says J Man and Dre
79:32
and then it's like a Dutch thing but it's in French so it's really confusing
79:37
to explain so I try not to explain it but then I I covered it all and then
79:41
