0:33
technically we're at 720p the time before that still today we are at 360p
0:38
now we are in 1080p 29.97 FPS because
0:41
that camera and everything should theoretically be fine we were 720p for a
0:47
little bit too I said that oh really great job I was totally listening
0:51
attentiveness levels anyways uh so what
0:54
we're trying to do here is a little bit of a year in review although that is
0:58
slightly falling apart because a large percentage of the people that work here
1:02
are leaving because Christmas so John is
1:06
in the States um Dennis has gone for
1:10
some reason something is happening somewhere and he has to be there for
1:14
whatever reason burkel isn't here today um so we're gonna have Jake right now
1:20
yes we're gonna have Tyler on which you guys haven't met before Colton and Nick
1:24
and hopefully Lionus and maybe one other
1:27
person taran and Edzel are probably both too busy unfortunately we're gonna have
1:31
those guys on we're going to talk to them about how their year here has gone
1:35
what their favorite things have been what their least favorite things have been how everything has been going i
1:39
know you've probably sort of seen mine already if you're here u you've probably
1:43
sort of seen a few other ones we're going to redo those because we're
1:47
uploading this one to YouTube um and
1:51
yeah hopefully it is a good show did Colton even run the intro last time i
1:55
don't think so i'm going to do it this time let's see if it lags out hey what's
1:59
the music like it's working i don't know if the music is working so here we go
2:05
they can't even see us right now wancho Wancho weekly analysis and news
2:13
drop the couch drop the couch on the floor cuz you really don't snore
2:20
that was great very nice dollar Shave Club thank you for sponsoring this show
2:25
um although I bet you you're hoping you got a different one well it's cool they
2:29
sponsored three shows today now this is the third one wow that value that's
2:34
that's what it's about right that's a lot of value although I don't know if we did the intro for the other shows okay
2:39
there's there's that uh Jake hi we have to do you first because you're leaving
2:44
you're abandoning the post so uh we got to cover your details first best part of
2:48
my watch over what do you do have you been on Way Show before uh no what do
2:52
you do maybe like too much what do you do here uh I started working here in
2:56
February okay i was doing warehouse stuff sort of not really do I need to
3:01
like stay in a specific spot oh yeah you want me to get a little closer wow okay
3:06
uncomfortable um so I'm okay with Lionus
3:09
yeah is it i'm only allowed to do that with Linus oh okay right because there's
3:12
like fanfiction and stuff anyways what do you do um I started
3:17
working here doing warehouse stuff i never actually really ended up doing any
3:21
warehouse things cuz as soon as I started working here Linus was like "Hey
3:24
I need you to help me with this computer or like disassemble this computer
3:27
assemble this computer." And then so I never really ended up ever doing
3:31
anything in the warehouse really and
3:34
then Syler got hired a few months ago and
3:39
ignore what pay attention okay and now
3:42
now I like do benchmarking and review
3:46
stuff sometimes i'm looking at the thing i can see it it's kind of shiny a little
3:51
bit you see that little twinkle so benchmark review things benchmark trying
3:55
to get into writing yeah we'll see how that goes
4:01
that should be good what's What's your favorite thing that happened this year
4:04
that to do with Linus Media Group i'm gonna say something different than I did last time
4:09
uh favorite thing this year uh I'm gonna go
4:14
with the chalk bomb battle on Channel Super Fun if you haven't seen that go
4:17
check it out it was it was pretty great that was very
4:20
good i like smacked Luke in the face with chalk like three times he did i can
4:25
still see a little bit of yellow right there i don't think that's how that works yeah it's definitely not how that
4:29
works wow okay um worst thing least
4:33
favorite thing i said this is my favorite thing last
4:36
time okay so the Okay the the good part
4:39
of it i don't even think I got to it but I'll say this as the worst thing that
4:43
happened last night you all probably already heard this last night last last
4:46
night was your favorite thing no worst thing not Not at your house
4:52
last last night holy [ __ ] last night at um uh
5:00
No last night at the office 5:00 p.m.ish so
5:06
me and Brandon working on guidance for a script so when you write a script you
5:10
have guidance people so you tell the editors and the
5:14
the shooters what needs to like end up in the video like hey I want this graph
5:18
i want this B-roll shot of this thing uh
5:22
it was good we got it done less time than we thought we did uh than we would
5:27
so I saved it onto the server and I had to come back to it because I missed
5:30
something uh open the file every single
5:33
comment is gone every single piece of guidance is gone except like the very
5:37
first one I made like a week ago
5:40
i was just like "Okay just gonna like
5:44
leave now." Like this is so bad i did
5:48
find a thing online because apparently Word docs are like just like a zip file
5:52
so you just like extract it and then all the stuff is inside so there's like a
5:56
comments xml or whatever and I found the error and like deleted it and I lost
6:01
some of the comments but most of them recovered so it was very bad turned kit
6:07
cool what about you what about me I'm
6:10
interviewing other people oh what i'm reviewing you flip the flip the table
6:14
here i've already done I've already done mine but I'll go through it again my My favorite part of this year hands down
6:18
was the most recent Scrapyard Wars with uh
6:24
Can they hear that probably they can probably hear that anyways my my
6:28
favorite thing this year was the Yeah brand new Scrapyard Wars with BS Mods
6:31
bob and Rod rod was on my team had tons of fun built probably one of my favorite
6:36
mods ever which is right uh there almost
6:39
poked him in the head but didn't quite it's right there we still kept it
6:43
because it's so awesome it's like the Mad Max inspired build that literally
6:47
shot fire out of the computer you see the little gauge right there did that
6:51
work did the gauge work the gauge didn't work that's a like gigawatt gauge or
6:56
megawatt gauge or something like it's ridiculous it's for like power plants
6:59
it's not It's not for that computer yeah my wattage level and gigawatt but yeah
7:04
that was a ton of fun and inspired me to do
7:09
giga what diy gifts uh for Christmas
7:12
which have been Oh mhm a bit of an adventure Jake's been there for a fair
7:17
amount of that thank you Jake's dad um
7:20
he's helped me with things i'm not going to say what things because it's not Christmas yet
7:24
um like two days jeez that came quick
7:28
boom liam in chat 1.21 two one chickawatts chickawatt
7:33
yeah so those have been a little bit of a nightmare i've lost a lot of sleep
7:36
over over those projects same dude apparently I joined the no sleep club
7:41
get wrecked you don't really need sleep to do work yeah no it's fine you just
7:44
drink more caffeine mhm gfield and survive survive uh anyways that's
7:51
I might No you guys will probably never hear about what those are but yeah I'm
7:55
doing DIY projects and that's my favorite thing about this year my least
7:59
favorite about thing about this year uh
8:02
related to work
8:08
is Jake oh okay appreciate you that was
8:11
a good call oh okay wow
8:16
yeah so I I don't really have a ton of other details to add to that it's just
8:20
his general presence and overall aura um
8:23
just negativity just Yeah you know no no that's not it um really least favorite
8:29
thing that happened this year it was probably the time that Lionus's Twitter
8:33
got hijacked oh god that was pretty bad we were out doing hackers this crazy Oh
8:40
a little bit of an exaggeration that's That's why the like sarcastic tone yeah
8:44
I got you like hackers uh we were out filming this crazy video no not the
8:49
pizza computer this got brought up last time too i love the pizza computer i
8:53
love shooting the pizza pizza i love shooting the pizza computer i loved
8:58
making the pizza heater computer i love the pizza heater computer itself even
9:02
though it doesn't exist anymore um
9:05
he likes pizza just because you guys didn't like it doesn't mean that I
9:10
didn't like it i might have disliked the amount of dislikes that were on the
9:14
video and all the negative comments that might have sucked but I love that
9:18
computer did it even heat up and that was not the worst part of this year that
9:21
was I'm changing my answer my favorite part of this year was building the pizza
9:25
heater computer oh you can get wrecked i'm kidding Rod sorry no horse is the
9:30
best roasted scapard horse is the best but yeah um probably dealing with that
9:36
was pretty that was pretty terrible pretty terrible indeed
9:41
work was fairly straight up this year i think except this week well no things
9:47
were difficult yeah but and stressful
9:51
and strenuous but like this week especially everything mostly worked mhm
9:57
the workshop series
10:01
there we go there you go that's the worst thing that happened too that
10:06
entire No that was fine that was good the likes on that video have slowly
10:09
increased over time um the entire workshop series as a whole so the idea
10:14
of that concept was that I wanted to show everyone in
10:19
real time with minimal editing showing
10:22
everything on camera benchmarking things so that they could so that could
10:27
hopefully add to the legitimacy
10:31
and make it feel more real what that
10:35
turned into however was just kind of a
10:38
mess um people didn't really like it people didn't like hearing that
10:42
everything that they do doesn't really matter um and
10:49
it's just it was kind of boring to watch
10:54
they just weren't great i think people were trying to like reinforce their purchasing decisions all the people
10:59
spent like hundreds of dollars on fans and then we're like "Oh this did
11:03
literally nothing." But they make it quieter like there's there are benefits
11:08
there are benefits anyways yeah that that was probably the the worst thing
11:12
that happened this year was was my workshop series are you we should do a
11:15
guide on overclocking pizza
11:18
it's adding hot sauce but like the
11:22
distribution metrics of the hot sauce yeah like you need and like certain hot
11:26
sauces will give you like better so the amount of Scoville level Well not
11:31
necessarily is your gigahertz no uh okay
11:36
no maybe yeah yeah scoville units okay yeah so what is like the anti- gigahertz
11:42
like I have a 4.5 gigahertz pizza giga
11:47
giga cuz I have like giga Scoville
11:51
okay I need to go so I'm going to tap tap on out there buddy so this is the
11:55
best thing that's happened this year can I like just Jake's leaving wow okay
12:02
jesus all right next up we have Tyler so
12:06
I think is this the first time you've talked on camera yeah this is my first
12:10
speaking role there we go nice yeah welcome to the most disastrous WAN Show
12:15
of 2016 um I don't even know if that's actually true to be completely fair u
12:20
Okay so what do you do here uh I'm in charge of inventory acquisition and
12:25
investigation i have to wear the hat if you want i have to wear the hat okay unless you're worried about lice in
12:29
which case you can avoid that rule but I think it's fine okay yeah so sorry say
12:33
that again uh inventory acquisitions and investigations
12:37
and now there's a little bit more yeah
12:40
now I'm I'm also writing writing and doing like some pre-production stuff
12:44
like you worked on the monitor placement video i did the monitors i did the uh
12:49
DIY typewriter um I don't know if you
12:53
want to give away that other thing that you were working on but the tabletop thing you can probably talk a little bit
12:57
about yeah sure we just started a video
13:01
on technology and tabletop gaming which I am super excited about
13:06
yeah so Tyler wrote and I helped edit
13:09
and Lionus helped edit and Tyler kind of sculpted this video that is about um
13:15
someone said Minecraft t-shirt it's not Well it is it is a checkered t-shirt
13:20
yeah i don't know it sort of almost gets there uh but it's it's not just about
13:26
tabletop simulator it's about how technology has helped push tabletop
13:30
gaming whether that's card gaming or role playing or whatever basically
13:36
forward uh 3D printers roll 20 tabletop
13:40
simulator whole bunch of different stuff it's actually really interesting that's
13:43
probably not going to be coming out for like a little bit unless you're in full
13:46
plane club uh but yeah stay tuned that'll be cool what was your favorite
13:50
thing that happened this year that had to do with work
13:54
uh oh we're doing like the least favorite favorite and least favorite
13:57
thing yeah I think the least favorite thing that happened was when we started
14:02
the W show and it was in 320p
14:05
and then my most favorite thing was when we restarted the Wow and it was was in
14:09
full 720 yeah yeah yeah yeah so that's good that's pretty solid that's a good
14:13
answer i don't have a long memory
14:16
you can remember like the last hour those best and worst tend to change on a
14:20
daily basis that makes sense that's solid that's solid um
14:25
yeah i don't know i don't have a ton else to say do you have any crazy plans
14:32
for DIY stuff not that I'm I'm allowed to discuss yeah most most crazy plans
14:36
have to stay kind of I'm excited for the one with the woodworking and the tall
14:40
stuff yeah yeah that should be a good one i'll give them that much i'll leave
14:45
you with that that's all you get uh someone's saying that you're you're
14:49
possibly the legend 27 legend 27 if you've seen If you've seen
14:54
that meme see Tyler is the Legend 27 i don't know that meme see he doesn't know
14:58
that which is kind of like the same as when someone farts and then they're like
15:02
I don't smell anything right so you are the legend 27 okay is this Is this a
15:06
good thing is this a bad thing it means you're pretty much the most powerful
15:10
person in the game
15:13
okay that's a hard thing to say no to
15:19
okay um I think that's about it we were basically just asking best and least is
15:23
there anything you want to say this is the first time you've been on camera or Yeah no first time you've spoken on
15:28
camera first time I've spoken yeah um but what you think I would have
15:32
something prepared for that some kind of meaningful momentous statement other
15:36
than Not necessarily i think the the first time that I spoke on camera was
15:40
pretty not great was it the WAN Show i think
15:45
possibly the first time I was ever on camera was on the W show and my ARM was in like a sling and I was like beat up
15:50
and I just hung out while Lionus hosted everything which was pretty cool
15:55
uh yeah I think I'll get someone else i
15:58
wish like someone stayed here so that we
16:02
could like relay people in but if you want to go grab someone who want that'll
16:05
also work uh Colton or Nick would be
16:09
great yeah that'll work thank you and then give them the Santa hat yes or just
16:14
leave it here that works cool thank you
16:17
okay great show this is This is working
16:21
really well i technically do have a WAN
16:24
doc there's a few things um
16:28
and there was an NVIDIA job posting i'll try to drop this in the chat that
16:31
revealed GTX 1080 Ti and uh a premium
16:37
Club GeForce Elite subscription which was kind of interesting you might even
16:43
have something to say for this currently
16:46
we're talking about Club GeForce Elite subscriptions
16:51
what up with that i don't even What do you think about that uh it's a little
16:55
It's a little different strong intense opinions on that at all is it the worst
17:00
thing that has literally ever happened to the universe i mean yes just kidding
17:04
no it's not no definitely not but I mean like it depends on what exactly it is
17:09
and like the subscription it's kind of like what okay so with 1080 Ti I don't
17:16
think we have a ton of information uh there there's one little kind of thing
17:19
where there was uh under targeted spot prizes to drive incent all this other
17:25
weird kind of stuff and there's something about possibly a form of step up program uh for owners of the 980 Ti
17:33
where they could get a first spot in line to get 1080 Ti pre-orders or
17:36
something i don't really know what's going on with that this is all very rumor mill right now uh so personally I
17:41
don't think it's a super big Yeah it's from a LinkedIn job posting which has
17:44
since been taken down and like does anyone even have a screenshot because I
17:48
haven't seen one uh
17:52
no screenshot and then there's a link you go to it it's been taken down so
17:56
it's just like Yeah yeah okay so I I
17:59
kind of wonder if it's like a fake NVIDIA posting it but who knows who
18:04
knows i mean like who knows 108 1080 Ti
18:07
it's gonna come out it's not surprising right yeah no it's not like cra the
18:10
craziest news we've ever heard so yeah and then there's the Club GeForce Elite
18:16
kind of deal um this has been
18:20
interesting says that there's possibly beta access for Talos um and NVIDIA
18:26
first party content there's like you get some indie games and you get a
18:31
subscription to their cloud gaming service thing and you get some other
18:36
stuff maybe it's $10 a month to me it feels a lot
18:41
like paying those like console subscription things put the hat on i
18:44
know it's not the same thing before everyone freaks out i get it it doesn't
18:48
like give you access to play internet games yeah but it just
18:52
annual benefits include a free indie game custom skin or in-game items for
18:58
AAA games every few months um
19:03
yeah there's you you get free game codes in-game currency early beta access to
19:08
certain games gaming accessories and tickets to gaming events like BlizzCon
19:13
or Packs that's pretty crazy that'd be cool actually um sorry
19:20
yeah there's also users will be rewarded for submitting bug reports or
19:24
contributing useful feature requests there's also interesting mo Oh that was
19:28
the chair i thought you just ripped one like
19:32
it's all good most active forum users will also be given game codes and as
19:38
will the users who rank uh the most negative or the most positive in their
19:43
sentiment tools the negative part that's kind of interesting um
19:49
does NVIDIA want trolls but then this is all rumor mill stuff so who knows but
19:53
moving back from that topic Cal Tain hey
19:57
what up how you doing that's my question to you what how's it going good man
20:01
that's pretty good doing good i'm doing good now doing good because everything's
20:06
because everything's working everything's working anyways yeah man uh
20:09
wor speaking of which worst thing this year worst thing this year
20:16
um like I already went over my best thing
20:19
but we're still I know that's tough like I was saying to Nick earlier like this
20:25
year's actually been pretty good like
20:29
nothing like really really really bad like sticks out in my mind i'm like "Oh
20:40
you more often than happens to me now." Yeah that's cool thanks yeah no problem
20:43
i appreciate that no problem um worst thing that happened this year i
20:49
think the chat's saying uh when you were running at 360p on the W you know what
20:54
you know what guys you know what yes so this one time when this goes to YouTube
20:58
uh we did the WAN Show at 360p and then
21:01
we had to restart the whole WAN Show i don't remember when that happened i remember what day that was but yeah so
21:07
that happened that's actually you know what it's a good way to end the year that's probably the worst thing i'll go
21:11
with that actually yeah that means you went through the whole year without that much bad stuff that's not that bad no no
21:17
exactly i mean I mean we're fixing it literally right now yeah thanks thanks
21:20
guys thanks yeah there we go um yeah but and then best thing probably trips were
21:25
you going to ask that i was was it just the negative comment yeah no no no no
21:30
definitely positive as well so you had a couple of those you went to San Fran was
21:34
that okay Luke come on dude that was last year that was last November
21:39
that was last November we went to San Francisco for a a VR thing so it's been
21:44
over a year yes it has been over a year but so this year uh CES going to CES for
21:50
the first time after hearing about it from all you guys you know it's this big
21:53
crazy thing list Tech Tips we you know we make like between 40 and 50 videos in
21:57
like a week i don't know why being on the sales side of things I'm like "Oh yeah just make some videos and you guys
22:01
will be fine it'll be easy." Get there and I'm like "Holy cow this is a real
22:04
thing this is this is nuts this is insanity." just running around you got
22:10
the business team going to meet with with all the different partners and
22:13
brands and going with you guys to check out really cool stuff and then like
22:18
John's roaming the show floor to try to get top fives of things and like I'm
22:22
just kind of walking around just checking things out so that was a really
22:28
cool experience um also the Mexico trip
22:32
I thought that was a lot of fun i can see why some people didn't have as much
22:36
fun on a workation because they had a lot of stuff to do
22:41
and left his room unless he was working unless he was working yeah but I thought
22:46
that was really cool too because I've never been to Mexico so that was pretty
22:50
cool to see and doing all the expedition or the Yeah expeditions that call i
22:54
don't know all doing all the activities right so you'll see a lot of those on
22:57
Channel Super Fun we got a lot of content over there but doing those was
23:01
pretty cool so we actually got to keep busy what just happened we're having
23:06
tons of audio problems oh
23:09
really interesting
23:14
well don't touch the mic well I didn't touch
23:17
the mic don't touch the mic cable so we're good now so I touched the mic
23:21
cable and it was like oh but we're good now everything's fine cool everything's
23:25

24:51
definitely excited for next year's CES because I actually know what's going on now i'm like I get it i get how crazy it
24:55
is cuz cuz I were I started here last August so August 2015 and the whole like
25:01
from the day I started it was like you ready for CES man you hear the stories
25:05
of CES what happens CES crazy man do lots of stuff i'm like okay like I get
25:09
it like let's let's calm down and then it actually happens i'm like wow pretty
25:12
busy pretty busy you don't get to sleep you don't get to sleep much yeah wow
25:17
it's pretty busy yeah no looking forward to that um Yeah yeah and another cool
25:21
thing about this year too is just like expanding getting more people there's 15
25:25
people that work here now so do you know how many we had last year i'm number 10
25:31
i'm number 10 number 10 double digits and were you the newest person at CES or
25:37
was that John at CES yes that would have been me yeah john got hired two months
25:41
before I did three months maybe so we have 50% more people now
25:46
pretty much when did When did Dennis get hired is Dennis before John oh gosh this
25:51
was well before that oh okay yeah then Yeah then pretty much we've doubled in
25:56
size in like a year and a half that's pretty crazy that is pretty crazy yeah
26:00
but it's cool getting to work with different people and everybody here has like different personalities and stuff
26:04
so it's really cool to see after
26:08
yes
26:11
there's like a box or bucket of them or something okay yeah cool trying to teach
26:16
me fetch
26:20
oh my gosh wow woo gracie um anyways yeah there you
26:28
go dope are we going to do another topic for the transition you want to grab Nick
26:31
is there anything else you want to say no no yeah good stuff all right see you
26:36
guys later all right
26:39
coming back to the dock
26:42
okay so the Nintendo Switch's CPU GPU clock speeds were revealed uh you can
26:47
check that out on Eurogamer i'm going to post a link to that in the
26:52
description here
26:56
this like in my opinion is probably the
26:59
least important thing about the Nintendo
27:03
Switch that might sound weird that could
27:06
totally sound weird and I get that um
27:09
but at the same time
27:13
it's not like Nintendo consoles for a long time have exactly been on like
27:20
the forefront of performance technology
27:24
i am a self-proclaimed Nintendo fanboy
27:28
and I'm excited for this thing regardless because I want to play the
27:32
games that are on it i'm interested in the games that are on it i'm
27:37
I will go for amazing beautiful detailed cinematic experiences on my PC i will go
27:43
for playing Zelda because hell yeah on my console that's how that's going to
27:47
work uh one interesting thing is that there's different performance specs for
27:51
it when it's docked versus undocked
27:56
um so its memory bandwidth is 200 uh sorry 25.6 gigabytes per second its
28:01
VRAMm is shared through the GPU and the CPU uh it has 256 CUDA cores at a
28:07
maximum of one gigahertz um and I actually can't find in this specific
28:12
picture but it has uh pretty drastically
28:15
different performance depending on whether it's plugged into a TV or it is
28:20
uh taken remotely with you if you remember you can take you can put the
28:24
controllers on the side of the Switch and take it as if it is a mobile gaming
28:27
device the mic is fine um thank you yes oh god
28:39
hi i'm going to take this off of your face oh that was my bad
28:45
thanks for your candy contribution Pencil oh nice i was talking about the
28:49
Nintendo Switch how are you oh you know how's today going it's a day was it
28:54
stressful is it Is it good is it chill it's a day it's a day it's a day how did
29:00
the year go it was a year it was a year
29:03
it was chill it wasn't that chill but No pretty
29:07
stressful year i mean people don't seem to realize like
29:12
it's actually like insane working here
29:15
like we don't sleep
29:18
i I always like just like work all the time i never bother like fully dive into
29:22
it people are like "Oh man I love to work at L Media Group." I'm like "It's
29:25
amazing i absolutely love this job you're basically sacrificing everything
29:28
else in your life it's amazing it's great don't do it this is now you you
29:33
are Linus Media Group now welcome to the Welcome to the People are saying I'm
29:37
just I'm stoned AF dude he's not stoned
29:40
i mean maybe I am it's legal in Washington no we're not in Washington
29:45
that's true i don't know man well it's going all
29:49
right though you know it's 2016 man it's kind of a crappy year in a lot of ways
29:52
but uh work-wise was fine the queen's going to make it apparently did you hear
29:56
about that the queen yeah the queen was sick was she but she's good now oh
30:02
seemingly good now well I'm very glad that our figurehead is uh is okay
30:08
yeah best thing that happened this year
30:12
um
30:16
yeah I'm selfish um I got a razor blade that was that was the highlight of my
30:22
just like for real there you go we have a video on that if you haven't seen it
30:26
it uh Do you know the title uh it's like
30:29
$25,000 Christmas prank or something like that some stuff i don't know gone
30:34
Sexual gone Sexual hopefully gone preferably that I mean that would
30:39
probably get more clicks true true uh my
30:42
favorite title we've done in a while was was my suggestion which I don't do
30:46
enough i'm sorry um but the the USB
30:49
killer thing I changed it cuz you want it to be
30:53
computer murder and I was like that's pretty dark oh what is it now i think
30:57
it's like computer destruction gone deadly or something yeah that's probably
31:01
a probably a better It was like It was going to be so dark because the original
31:05
plan was to have like a gun shooting the USB drive for the thumbnail and then it
31:10
was computer murder wow it was like dang
31:13
that was a little aggressive lt gone dark
31:18
2016 rare oh jeez uh I love it when they put rare
31:24
in the title rare 2016 what it's a It's
31:29
a rare unlimited view video sure dog all
31:33
right next year do they change pranks like do they go like find and replace
31:37
and do 2017 oh man that would be funny that would be
31:42
funny yeah super edge edgy worst thing this year worst thing this year like
31:47
work related i know your laptop was work related but yeah
31:53
um
31:57
I don't even know this is I think it's
32:00
it's good that this is everyone's hardest question to answer so far yeah
32:05
well for me it's also hard because there's so much stuff where I'm like NDA
32:09
can't talk about that contract can't talk about that yeah it's just like
32:15
but overall like it's been all right it's been a good year
32:20
i'm just tired i'm super tired i hear that yeah
32:24
but uh worst thing to happen in 2016
32:28
had to be
32:32
I guess it wasn't like that bad but just like biggest disappointment of 2016 is
32:38
like all of the series that like didn't work out as we hoped and that was kind
32:43
of like what we knew was going to happen going in because this was pretty much
32:46
like the year of pilots for Linus Tech Tips and I kept telling people that
32:50
because they'd be like why are you starting all these new series this is stupid i don't want a new series every
32:55
single day this is stupid why are you doing this it's like so then we figure out what works like that's how you
33:00
figure it out you do it it's true so um this was very much like the year of the
33:05
pilot and there were some concepts that I really like that didn't work out like Tech Showdown is one where it was like
33:09
it was good first couple ones were fun and then just people don't seem to care
33:13
i don't that's that's actually been really
33:16
confusing for me because I I feel like
33:21
like what I hear from the audience that is the most in tune with what people
33:25
like seem to ask for it's just not the
33:29
right but then no one actually cares um
33:33
which is that's fine
33:36
it's one of my favorite things to do maybe if it was tech showdown gone
33:40
sexual see that would make sense also the name I think I think Tech Showdown
33:45
as a name is pretty garbage um I liked
33:48
the original not saying it name that is way too close
33:54
maybe so the internal name was Iron Tech
33:58
yeah Iron Tech because it was supposed to be like Iron Chef but with tech the
34:01
original concept for Tech Showdown was that Lionus and I would be standing
34:05
there or whoever the competitors were would be standing there and then everything that you had to build with
34:09
was going to be on a table under a cloth just like Iron Chef and then whoever the
34:14
host was when was going to whip the cloth off and uh all of their stuff that
34:20
they were able to use for the build was going to be there then you had to like run up and grab your computer case and
34:25
all the hardware and run that back and then run all the modding stuff that you want back to your table and like try to
34:30
figure out your mod all on the spot and it turned into something that I think
34:34
was still really cool but it was different uh where you would go
34:37
pre-shopping and you'd go to the store and buy everything for the mod that you
34:41
wanted and then it was just a start time and a fixed amount of time people are
34:45
saying that well some people are saying that Iron Tech is a way cooler name i
34:49
agree it is i also don't want to get sued yeah it's way too close to Iron
34:52
Chef sorry like
34:57
that's like that's one that people are saying is Scrapyard Wars which is very
35:01
close to Junkyard Wars
35:05
I guess but like
35:09
I don't know i feel like Iron X is so
35:15
like there's only one Iron X whereas
35:18
like that's a other than Iron Man
35:22
but that's totally different and we would be like one of the things
35:25
about Scrapyard Wars is it's actually like genuinely quite a bit different
35:29
copper Techard Wars copper Tech
35:35
i like that um iron ingot tech where
35:38
like iron iron tech was named iron tech
35:42
very specifically because it was essentially exactly Iron Chef
35:46
but with technology is not exactly no
35:49
it's quite different yeah
35:53
we need season four dude I think there's season four on YouTube already bro you
35:57
should probably go watch it yeah anyways that concept didn't really work out
36:00
which sucks because Yeah I really like the tech show now
36:04
this one all acid someone said aluminum tech that's the
36:09
name of a dude on the forum tintech we probably shouldn't do that silicone
36:13
Showdown that sounds like a Yeah a modeling
36:17
contest it should be Silicon Showdown silicon Showdown yeah they said Silicone
36:21
Showdown yeah maybe maybe maybe we don't do that might be a good idea the one and
36:26
only Iron Man says "Hi I love your shows." Oh wow wow i'm I'm very the
36:32
timing on that i am very flattered yeah
36:35
me too you could come by what's his name tony Stark tony Stark yeah I'm very
36:38
flattered if you want to come by Robert Downey Jr show us how to build better
36:42
computers than we have that would be wonderful we need Jake back Jake went
36:45
home he has school tomorrow if you could teach someone how to make
36:49
Jarvis so we could all have voice control systems that were anywhere close
36:52
to that good that would be wonderful let's see if it even works let's see
36:57
let's see okay Google oh my god it
37:01
worked that's actually very surprising i've been having so many problems with those lately
37:07
anyways any other comments um
37:12
yeah i don't know i'm just like it's been a year man it's
37:17
been a year it has it has by definition
37:21
on the 360p version rare 2016 Gone
37:25
Sexual that is a rare show that is rare that is a rare cut cuz that's only going
37:28
to be available through the Twitch archives um but on the rare 2016 360p version I
37:37
was saying uh I totally lost my train of thought what
37:42
you were saying on the 2016 sorry what you were saying on the 360p version of
37:47
the show do you remember what you said back then no it's been too long it's too
37:51
rare his brain was like talking about this year and uh thanks for the help
37:56
Cole thanks
38:00
literally what the entire show is we're talking Oh yeah what I was saying was
38:04
that I hate Colton oh dang
38:08
he's just crying on the stairs stoned AF yeah
38:14
definitely blitzed dude have you never
38:17
been tired from working like
38:21
60 plus hour weeks have you never done
38:24
that bro have you never done that i also didn't have coffee today so that didn't
38:28
help but anyway do you want me to go get Taran is he available santiago
38:35
oh that'd be cool he needs to be he needs to be is he coming on the show oh
38:39
my goodness intermission topic oh KFC
38:44
what kfc's latest weird text suggests an
38:47
order based on your face
38:53
really
38:56
wow don't swear Taran
39:00
god everyone left because they all have
39:04
families to go to what do you think about What do you think about this Taran
39:08
kfc's latest weird text suggests an order based on your face
39:12
what do you think they would order for you Luke
39:17
why do we have to bring it there
39:20
i mean you know I just How do What do you think the tech is like Luke
39:26
how much chicken would they want you to anyways it'll look at the customer's age
39:30
gender and facial expressions to make educated guesses as to what they might
39:34
be in the mood for
39:38
i I you know I also hazard a guess that
39:41
they would order more chicken for me than they would for Taran
39:46
that's where I think Taran was trying to go when he said it to me because he's a
39:50
dick yeah i mean like what does does more
39:53
smiling equal more vegetables that's what I was kind of wondering about like
39:57
does KFC have vegetables age more
40:00
chicken maybe like if you're a little kid maybe you want like a kid comments
40:04
from the peanut gallery here why aren't you on the WAN Show mr talking all the
40:08
time oh Santiago all right get out of here then bye okay taran what's the
40:14
what's the your happy Christmas best thing that's happened this year that has
40:17
to do with me oh no this is why I didn't want to be here cuz I can't think of
40:21
anything i don't know you started reviewing bikes this year didn't you
40:25
yeah I did is that the best thing that happened to do with lines i don't know if it's the best thing but I'm really
40:29
stoked about it because What else are you really stoked about because um hey I
40:33
was not done with the bikes yet because I like bikes and I like ebikes and um I
40:39
like bik
40:48
um uh so that was nice what else did we do what did we do this year i mean we
40:53
finished the warehouse uh I don't know
40:57
if that's ever like a thing the bureau set's still
41:01
not technically done yeah yeah it's it's there's been a lot more work done on it
41:05
lately uh Brian the guy building it has come in uh every night for the past like
41:09
week to finish it up and so it's looking better hold that thought hold that
41:13
thought the audio went away and I think it's going to be back now we're back
41:17
okay say that again it's going to be finished soon do we have waveforms where
41:21
you can see we do not that would be really convenient it would be but we
41:24
don't have a mixer that can do that maybe we should upgrade our mixer
41:30
at home anyways B-roll set uh yeah I was
41:34
I was saying uh we're getting a new B-roll set the guy building it has come
41:37
in every night for the past week or so finishing it up he's really cool he's
41:42
got a treehouse that's way nicer than mine so he clearly knows what he's doing
41:47
um and so we'll have we'll have more B-roll abilities and we're also going to
41:51
build the mezzanine so we can get all these uh all this crap off the ground
41:55
and put it up into the mezzanine and then we'll have more room for more
41:58
filming of more stuff that'll be good yeah uh we added a lot of employees this
42:02
year we we grew uh we added 50% more
42:07
than we had before of employees we are we are 150% of the size that we were in
42:12
2015 yeah and somehow we're still just
42:15
as busy yep the work never stops like maybe even busier potentially yes maybe
42:21
it's it's borderline the thing is it's always like 100% capacity so there's
42:26
it's hard to like tell if it's Yeah exactly um and we had we had gotten
42:32
ahead on the on the videos for a while for for about a month or two we were
42:36
really ahead on on writing and then and then it it all went to hell because this
42:40
is quarter four quarter four is always
42:44
just terrible it's it's it's a mess yeah
42:47
it's a mess and then it ends with CES which fortunately the king of the mess
42:52
well yes and no because all the content is like right there okay just go out and
42:57
go get something of course it's a lot of work but at least you're gonna have
43:01
videos yes and also there's lots of parties which I enjoy every year i don't
43:07
very greatly luke doesn't drink at all no which is a shame if you're in Vegas
43:13
or maybe the opposite of a shame when you're in Vegas i have found one single
43:18
because Okay I don't I don't not drink because of like some
43:22
holier than now thing i do it because I literally just don't like it i have
43:26
found one alcoholic beverage that I can
43:29
drink without absolutely hating the taste let me guess i still don't like
43:33
the experience but the taste is it um is it um You're probably not going to guess
43:38
yeah what's that creamy creamy stuff bailey's no bailey's is good i hate it
43:42
really if I can taste the alcohol at all
43:46
point Bailey's fireball
43:50
that sounds like you'd be able to taste the alcohol the cinnamon is so strong
43:54
wow that I can't taste the alcohol and
43:57
it burns the whole way down and then it burns in your stomach but I don't taste
44:00
the alcohol sounds horrible it's still better than everything else anyways what
44:04
is the worst thing this year oh worst
44:07
thing this year let me see here hang on i I want to Oh this is a different chair
44:11
from what I'm used to i don't know what to do with it worst thing uh you know
44:16
what I mean as long as I like to as much as I like to harp on Adobe they have at
44:21
least been making gradual improvements
44:24
to their software much slower than I like but no it's not worse actually the
44:29
software is is slowly getting better um the worst thing the worst thing let's
44:35
see uh none of my all my videos were great
44:39
so there's that um
44:43
I didn't get horribly injured doing
44:46
anything so there's that
44:49
the worst thing it snowed a bunch but nobody was killed um that we know that
44:54
we that we know um and we might get a
44:58
white Christmas here in Vancouver yeah it's going to be close
45:03
it a lot of people were thinking that it it it had held up and we weren't
45:06
actually going to get a white Christmas and then it snowed last night yeah and and just for context it's very rare
45:11
sorry for there to be snow in BC in this
45:16
area at all yes just for whatever reason we would usually get like maybe one day
45:20
of snow a year and it would just be slush and it would be terrible what bad
45:24
things have happened i I don't know i mean it's it's been it's been good i had
45:29
to pay a lot of money to fix my car up the other day but that's not Lis Media
45:33
Group related no uh among other things go ahead you don't have anything else
45:37
some rodents had found their way into my air intake
45:41
and burrowed into the air filter and they had a little nest in there oh wow
45:45
because apparently when it gets so cold this is a common occurrence of animals
45:50
just like "Oh I got to go shelter somewhere oh there's a warm car." And so
45:54
they'll hang out in the car so uh so
45:58
check under the hood ladies and gentlemen you might find some uninvited
46:01
guests in your car this winter season and maybe park in the garage if you have
46:06
one okay i don't okay is there anything
46:10

47:44
instructions dr yeah you don't have to read the instructions i'm I'm just used
47:48
to the normal stuff put just you just put it on your face and you shave no I
47:52
know it's just Yeah I know i'm just You know I was I was in a rush that day i
47:57

48:15
great Anyways del uh it can ship to the
48:19
US Canada and Australia so head over to dollarshaveclub.com/Linus
48:23
and give it a try for free for free how much for free for a week
48:28
for a month i said that at the beginning i wasn't paying any attention like right at the beginning of the ad spot not at
48:32
the beginning um are they are they coming no they're both out
48:38
no no it's cool i'll stay here it's fine um let's see what else we got we don't
48:41
have a ton of stuff do you have an iPhone Android right i'm all Android all
48:45
the time so Super Mario Run breaks a record gets 40 million downloads in four
48:50
days which is like what is it pretty
48:53
crazy to me or Super Mario it's a Super Mario game let me see if I can like
48:57
ninja screen grab this cuz we don't have like laptops set up because whatever oh
49:02
wow that's an awkward Okay that'll work uh what if I do this no it's it's
49:07
working
49:12
you're making us disappear sort of okay so anyways
49:17
um yeah so Super Mario Run breaks record gets 40 million downloads in 4 days
49:22
which is pretty four days pretty insane but it's only on iOS only on iOS super
49:28
Mario Runs $10 asking price the internet connectivity requirement various issues
49:33
blah blah blah blah blah anyways what do you think about Nintendo games on now
49:38
let's see about this on on mobile
49:42
devices that's on a phone yeah that is
49:45
on a phone yes well I I've never liked
49:49
the fact that for a touchcreen you don't have buttons that you can have your
49:53
fingers on to know where they are before you press them and on a phone you have
49:59
to keep your hands completely off the screen otherwise you're going to screw something up yeah right there's this
50:03
disconnect there's this there's this like oh I don't really know if I'm
50:07
pressing the button there's no tactile feedback and so on and so forth so you
50:11
don't prefer the experience I don't I don't like that u so if you play games
50:15
on a phone you kind of need an extra controller right and I bought one for my
50:18
brother and he's like oh this is great and it's just you know it's just buttons
50:22
and it pairs with Bluetooth so if you have that then by all means go for it
50:25
there you go and also it's going to cover up what you're trying to look at in the first place probably to be clear
50:30
about what I said earlier the $10 asking price is to unlock all of the content
50:34
tent uh it is technically a free app you can download the app it is number one in
50:39
the like free app category for like 140 countries um and it is number one in the
50:45
top grossing app in a whole bunch of different countries as well um so it
50:52
seems to be going for play with the free version
50:57
absolutely wonderfully uh I don't know but I know there's content that's behind
51:01
a payw wall so well we have iPhone devices here i would suggest we download
51:05
it and just have some fun not right now not right now but you know I want to see
51:10
it feels like I play all the Mario games but I'm on an iOS so Pokemon Go this is
51:16
a thing that's not on the thing for today but they uh had an update recently
51:23
i know this is a weekly news show and this was a while ago but they've been
51:26
losing players a lot i uninstalled it
51:30
because I kept trying to find some redeeming feature and couldn't uh
51:35
so I I think they had some special stuff for Halloween and maybe for Christmas as
51:39
well uh but who cares i don't
51:44
sorry anybody who likes Pokémon Go I
51:47
know cuz my brother's really into it and he's caught like Christmas Pikachu and
51:51
Christmas Raichu and stuff that have Santa hats on like me so I'm a Christmas
51:55
Luke if you catch me I'm only a seasonal thing right well but then you'll have
52:00
the Christmas Luke forever yes right but you have to get him this year maybe
52:04
unless Yeah well next year it might be a slightly different model yeah that's right he'll look a little different a
52:08
little different yeah hopefully a little thinner so there's So there's that yes
52:14
yes oh have you made any uh New Year's
52:17
resolutions new Well most of my like physical stuff is based around fixing my
52:22
knee yeah i I've already been doing that both of my knees yeah they're less badly
52:27
damaged than Luke's knee probably maybe both of mine are a little bit i bet you
52:31
one My right one is probably on the same level of yours my left one is very bad
52:39
we're getting old Lou yeah we are we
52:42
were young whippers snappers so having the ebike has like been wonderful
52:47
because my knees uh on a normal bike
52:50
it's like "Oh this is hurting." Okay so it's great car yeah I do so if your
52:56
knees are screwed up that I was driving the car because because I couldn't bike
53:02
anymore okay i did that for a month and I was like I don't like driving and then
53:05
I finally got one of the ebikes in and I was like yes back on the bike so is the
53:10
car going to be off the road are you still my car what do you mean no I got the ebikes oh
53:15
what what about wondering you have the ebikes
53:18
now are you interested in taking the car off to the road oh you mean not paying
53:22
for it at all anymore uh probably not it's too convenient i like to visit my
53:27
family who lives on the island which is a big long drive having a car my brother
53:31
is like downtown uh uh Burnabyish
53:35
so um having a car to get there would be helpful to be pretty brutal the sky
53:39
train doesn't go all the way here which
53:44
would be convenient if it did i think there's like plans for that but Yeah
53:47
yeah maybe but you got to take like a bus that goes straight there but it still is a long ride yes siri yeah no
53:52
I'm I'm going to have a car probably pretty much forever i just barely drive it uh I just use it when I need it so
53:57
that's great there you go my insurance is very low because I haven't had an accident in nine years because I haven't
54:01
been driving for nine years
54:05
that's funny that's actually pretty good uh my I'm in the same spot but I've
54:11
actually been driving for the majority of that but it's still not that low
54:14
because we live in BC insurance here is just expensive that's just a fact
54:19
monopolytastic uh Panasonic has developed a new IPS
54:24
panel to rival OLED apparently the new
54:27
type of panel is an IPS LED that has 1 million to1 contrast ratio but like
54:33
like what what does that mean you mean Yeah well it means something those are
54:37
numbers but it's relative to how you do
54:40
the tests and stuff like it's a little screwy okay do we not have like a better
54:46
measurement for that i don't believe so cuz like the greatest contrast ratio I
54:50
think is still CRT isn't it let's see cuz when it's off
54:58
it's off it's not getting hit by any of those little electrons although I
55:02
remember on my CRT TV of a child
55:06
childhood that I had uh that you turn
55:09
the TV on and of course makes a noise and I think it becomes brighter even if
55:14
it's on black so I could be wrong but maybe modern CRTs are actually more
55:20
hardcore and it's the least display lag
55:23
i think even lower than I think some of
55:26
what you're saying might be a little wonko but the display lag thing yeah
55:30
well they're really good for that so lag good i don't know about contrast ratio
55:34
necessarily sorry I've been reading this i haven't been fully listening to what you're saying uh it's speculated that
55:38
these IPS panels may appear at CS 2017
55:41
so pay attention to that we'll probably have something going on there um and
55:48
let's see here g-skiller has new Trident Z RGB memory kits that are like really
55:53
fast and stuff ddr4 4266 MHz so that's
55:57
pretty cool uhhuh going up to how many gab one of the notes is that it requires
56:01
no additional power connections i'm very happy that the RAM doesn't require
56:07
individual additional power that's like like what one of the one of the the big
56:13
save can you imagine oh man i mean that's up there with uh water cooled RAM
56:18
you know for in terms of ridiculousness ridiculous okay so South Carolina what
56:24
carolina oh yeah I I remember hearing about this oh my that picture uh okay
56:31
can we not show that is it too Is it too racy it's borderline this is just a
56:36
guy's bare chest you know it's It's We're not Maybe maybe some of you are
56:41
into that let's find out tiny amount of a guy right now mainly that girl's
56:45
backside but Oh oh I thought that was Oh I'm I'm not understanding what's going
56:49
on then wow i I cover myself that very a
56:53
little bit of your shoulder uh yeah so
56:56
there's a South Carolina wants to
57:00
install anti- porno chips in PCs that
57:03
cost $20 to disable i think I heard it
57:07
was a root kit um there was some discussion on Reddit
57:11
about this that's hilarious oh my goodness
57:18
oh this is written in a very funny way too so like I guess it's just like
57:23
putting a text on computers does that
57:27
include phones this is very odd
57:33
well the problem is lawmakers not really understanding the law the the the things
57:38
that they're trying to make laws about and the analogy that I like to use here
57:43
is imagine if movies weren't as popular as they are and lawmakers didn't
57:48
understand them and they thought that it was racist to cast various people in
57:54
various roles because you can be racist when you're casting a movie if you want
57:57
a movie full of black people right because that's the movie right um so
58:03
imagine if there was a law saying you can't do that you can't discriminate
58:06
based on skin color for a movie when in fact that's a perfectly reasonable thing
58:10
to do for a movie so for porn
58:14
we have we have Why is Luke putting his head in his hands
58:19
it it's another situation where the lawmakers just don't understand what's going on
58:24
what have I said something just topics I
58:27
don't want to talk about on land show just cuz like someone's going to freak
58:30
out somewhere yeah we we we should be I
58:34
was expecting you Okay i was expecting you to go into like you should be able
58:37
to gender discriminate in porn i thought that's where you were going well there's
58:41
that too because like it might be determined but but that that Yes but
58:45
that doesn't have anything to do with uh with with this news story
58:50
as far as I'm aware anyways um my point is laws can be very stupid but we
58:55
already all knew that didn't we
59:02
okay here's a cool one this will be our last topic of the day tim Cook has said
59:06
that great desktop Macs are in the works that's actually good um some people
59:12
might be like "Oh my god but it's Lest Tech Tips don't we hate Apple products?"
59:18
Uh one we don't we don't hate Apple products we just usually prefer PC
59:22
products uh possibly 100% of the time but who knows usually um I've seen some
59:28
cool things on Macintosh washes and having good competition even
59:33
if you don't like it uh I have no problem with Mac but having good
59:37
competition even if you don't like it is a good thing yes
59:41
so yeah which is why I'm stoked about the uh Studio Surface Pro or not Pro
59:48
Microsoft Surface Studio there you go without the Pro yes because its
59:52
competition to Whackom which has dominated the industry of onscreen
59:58
tablet writing thingies for very long and that review will be done eventually
60:02
soon it's scripted right now i am very interested in injecting your Yes stuff
60:06
but it is scripted so I can put it wherever i've been I've been using it
60:11
today trying to figure out how the tilt works on it which I can't figure out tim
60:16
Cook in response to a question about whether Mac desktops were strategic for
60:19
Apple he said the desktop is a very strategic place for us i added place in
60:24
it just says the desktop is very strategic for us uh it's unique compared
60:28
to the notebook because you can pack a lot more performance in a desktop the
60:33
largest screens the most memory and storage a greater variety of I/IO and
60:37
fastest performance so there are many different reasons why desktops are
60:41
really important and in some cases critical to people the current
60:44
generation of iMac is the best desktop we have ever made and its beautiful
60:48
Retina 5K display is the best display in the world
60:53
some pe some folks in the media have raised the question about whether we're
60:57
committed to desktops if there's any doubt about that with our teams let me
61:02
be really uh let me be very clear we have great desktops in our road map
61:06
nobody should worry about that
61:10
people say that that's a that's a little odd because there's like very valid
61:15
reasons to worry about that but right you know sorry I wasn't actually
61:21
What's the gist of that sorry basically there's there's there's new Mac desktops
61:25
on the road map it's been a long time since they've released one oh and Mac
61:29
desktops on the road so they've been mostly focusing on notebooks
61:33
the Yeah okay i think like phone has
61:38
been too yes well literally books made
61:41
out of paper smart yeah and then the the paper $300 actual paper book that's
61:47
right that is a thing anything else on the dock or are we done
61:52
i think we're done this was a weird show hopefully you guys
61:56
liked it we got to see Jake we got to see Tyler they're not normally on camera
62:00
that was cool we got to see some other members of Lus Media Group come in it's
62:04
Christmas
62:08
yes oh my goodness brandon wait yeah where were you i was busy yeah i I I
62:13
still have to finish my edit get over here what's up how are we doing how are
62:19
you doing i'm doing fantastic today has been a good day oh wow why tell me about
62:24
it well we just got our new camera or well half of it half of our new camera
62:30
it's not quite there yet we still need the lens mount and like some SSDs that
62:37
are still on the way but close yes why would they make the camera but not have
62:41
the lens mount on it why would you want a camera without a lens mount you can
62:44
change it so like we're getting a Canon EF mount but it can you can change it to
62:49
PL Nikon mount like uh like there's you
62:52
have options this is the Christmas hat oh oh oh yes i'm not festive enough
62:57
clearly i don't really do well with hats like
63:01
they've never really That one works yeah okay santa i can I played You know what
63:06
in grade seven I played Santa oh the my
63:11
my elementary school was very progressive they were like I was the
63:14
only like one of two Asian guys in in the class like let's make Brandon play
63:18
Santa i'm like okay sure
63:22
that's funny um best and worst things that happened this year for you related
63:27
to work best and worst things
63:31
I think it's a little bit of an on the spot oh wow that's a hard question to
63:35
just answer um I think the best things
63:41
have just been like optimization like
63:45
like our lighting grid was basically set
63:48
finalized at the beginning of the year and a lot of things that I didn't used
63:52
to have are now here so I guess that's that the best part is that my life has
63:57
gotten more efficient when it comes to being working here worst part though is
64:02
that it feels like my workload has tripled since that time so like all the
64:06
efficiency that I felt like I had just got eaten up like that but it's okay you
64:12
know not so bad um but I mean if you're
64:16
talking about specific things like
64:20
I don't know i haven't broken anything i didn't drop a camera this year that's
64:23
good i don't know there was a there was a
64:26
light that was dropped today oh god what um
64:31
ex person was on the phone walking by a light and I think they accidentally
64:35
kicked it i fell over it still works nope no it was not Colton i won't tell
64:39
you who it was that's the last person I'm confirming or denying i said it was
64:43
not Colton why do you assume it's me i don't know you're just there sneakily in
64:49
the background yeah so but it's fine everything still works and whatnot uh
64:54
people in the chat are asking about what what camera specifically so we just got
64:59
to Should I go get it yeah okay wait are
65:03
I thought you weren't allowed to take it out of the box no no no we uh That's the
65:08
other one okay you know what i wanted to mention
65:12
So here it is you put it on like a a rail
65:18
mount and everything so so far we have
65:21
this is an Epic W top handle so it's Epic W but it's not
65:26
an epic weapon well yeah their naming
65:30
scheme is kind of weird it's It's a weapon body so like like because it's a
65:35
little conf like all all the Red Lineup cameras
65:39
are DSMC2 that's just like their second generation
65:44
bodies and so they all technically have the same body they're all the bodies are
65:47
the same so like all the parts for each each tier you're literally only changing
65:52
like processing because like and the sensor is the same in the Epic as it is
65:58
in the Weapon 8K it's just there's there's some processing differences so
66:04
but yeah we have our side handle there's no like there's no lens mount yet but
66:09
it's coming i still can't use it so it's like literally just this like really
66:13
expensive box that I get to look at until the rest of the stuff comes like
66:16
next week okay but to be fair it looks really freaking cool one thing that I
66:21
really like that they did is it looks extremely industrial yeah like they Well
66:25
like Red's Red's besides being a pretty
66:29
good camera company they've they're all about marketing so like their marketing
66:33
is just like love this look how nice it looks they
66:38
have like you can literally buy like a wood cover like replacement grip for
66:42
this grip this side handle that's like right here so and like I've seen some
66:47
people color code like their eject buttons on cameras and like I one guy I
66:52
think a vlogger I can't remember what his name was he did his up in like a the
66:56
same paint job as his car which is like a weird cow like camo thing so you can
67:02
Yeah you can do whatever you want if you want it to look cool if that is
67:06
important to you when it comes to a camera it can i think it just looks cool how it is i Yeah like I I'm fine with it
67:11
the way it is i don't need anything particular
67:15
are you going to do a camera review like you did the other camera reviews with
67:19
the red that is a good question should I I want to see it should I Does anyone
67:24
want to see that like would anyone be interested we can do a straw poll sure
67:28
let's do a straw poll should I review very tempted to put both options as yes
67:33
because I just want you to do it um
67:42
but I will just put yes and no holy crap just in case what i see a lot of yeses
67:47
we let him review the red camera we're not going to get to use it in the studio
67:53
but if we let him review the red camera he'll learn everything about it and then
67:57
be able to teach everyone else at the company how to use it properly more
68:00
quickly anyway
68:05
he's not wrong but he also But I want to
68:08
see a video for anyone who didn't hear Lionus basically thinks like well if if
68:12
I make this review they won't we won't be able to use the camera for actual
68:16
work like in the studio forever which is
68:19
no i don't know i can balance that out
68:23
it's 96% of people say yes
68:27
what are the options yes and no
68:32
there is an archive i can't yeah no I know it's the options are literally yes
68:36
and no i didn't even put in turnup
68:41
oh yeah for anyone who's curious Lionus is building a very special new server
68:46
that is necessary for this who goes there
68:53
oh okay oh hey John
68:56
you want to be on W show most impromptu show ever
69:02
come say hi merry Christmas
69:07

69:34
a long time yeah yeah there you go we're doing a year and
69:39
review type WAN Show what was your favorite and least favorite parts of
69:43
this year that had something to do with what you are gonna say John what's up
69:47
least best and worst best and worst that had something to do with work um I think
69:51
the best was probably uh winning the burger challenge burkel's burger
69:55
challenge that was probably the highlight of the year for me absolutely
69:58
no question no question nice okay what about the worst the worst
70:04
was probably the super funds we did like really early in the year before I lost
70:08
all that weight and I got to see how fat I looked on camera so that that was kind
70:11
of awesome but it's an interesting uh pairing
70:15
your your favorite thing was winning the burger challenge and your least favorite
70:18
thing was looking at yourself when you weighed more well you can you can enjoy
70:23
burgers just always in moderation you know
70:26
it's true solid
70:30
