 Alright, so we are theoretically live. I have no idea what the stream quality is going to be like. We try to restart, and yes we know we definitely need to move on from Xsplit because this is just clearly not going to work for us. How is the audio sync? How's the audio quality guys? Let me know. Let me know. Are we good? Are we okay? People are saying loading, and they are not necessarily telling me whether the audio is fixed again or not. And apparently it's just loading. Loading. A few people seem to have it. Few people are in. People are saying it's all good. And hopefully it's all fixed. So all we did was restart. We changed absolutely nothing else. Welcome to the livestream here tonight guys. And hopefully we are all good for the rest of the night. So why don't we start out with some Twitter Q&A since that's apparently what we do on this show. Yay. There we go. Twitter, 5 new interactions. Is the stream live yet? Asks Zulkafil Abbas. To which I would reply, yes it is finally live. Rank Up Gamers on Twitter asks, can you please promote the Linus Tech Tips Folding at Home team. So for those of you guys who don't know what folding at home is, basically it's a distributed computing thing that was originally, what was it, Stanford University set this up as a way to calculate the folding of proteins which is useful for studying and even potentially curing. Curing. Curing. Curing. So it's a wide variety of different diseases. It could help with things like Alzheimer's or even cancer. Getting together and having. And basically it's more powerful than even the most powerful supercomputer. Because there's so many of them. Yeah, because there's so many nodes. And we have a pretty awesome folding team and we have a pretty awesome Boink team as well. So if you're into that kind of stuff, either of them are great. Folding is very specifically like protein folding and stuff. Boink you can do a whole bunch of different stuff. We've got both of the teams. Both are quite organized. And they both have their own section on the phone. Yeah it looks, ok yes it looks cool and as someone who does care about the aesthetics of a motherboard... I think most of the people hear, speaking to you guys, care about the aesthetics of their computer. I would love for you guys to weigh in on that on Twitter while I finish telling him what I think about. So number one is that the thermal armor doesn't contribute anything in terms of by thermally stimulating the heat generating components from the free flowing air in your case. And that's why they put this little Right, which necessitates the use of whiny little 40 millimeter fans. So justify the thermal armor to me again. I'm just I'm I don't have one. I'm just saying it looks good. Okay, and it does look good. It does. It looks awesome. It looks outstanding. I think we can all agree on that. And for 40 millimeter fans, I've heard a lot worse. And then and then on like half of them the fan failed. And then it was like And then your chips had overheated. Which is bad. Which is a bad thing. All right, let's go ahead. So like four 40 millimeter fans. Let's go ahead and switch back here. So they're also teasing a new true ROG innovation of some sort. And I don't think anyone knows what the heck this thing is. It reminds me of OC key. Looks kind of like an OC key. But see, okay, so there's some kind of custom interface here. We have no idea what that is. And then there's some kind of arrow here. So it almost Probably plugging it in. But the funny thing about that is that this arrow points in a direction that would seem to facilitate this Pinout being plugged into into what though? I don't know. Probably a proprietary plug. You know what it probably does is it probably makes your video card Outputs higher resolution. Yes. Actually no. Where would that plug into on a video card? Maybe they have an ROG video card coming that it plugs into. That's definitely what it is. That's definitely not what it is. No debate. That's exactly what it is. So guys, sort of, you know, the disclaimer here. We actually don't know what these things are. No idea. We have no idea. We are actually just guessing. And you should take everything we say with a grain of salt the size of like a human fist. Iceland. Yeah. Yeah. The size of a small island. Iceland is small. Okay, how do you define big? Australia is a big island. Australia is a continent. It's also an island. It's also a continent. But it's also an island. Which is like the biggest form of islands. We're kind of an island. Not really. Kind of. North America and South America are both continents and they're neither of which are islands. So is your definition of an island is, your definition of not being an island is having at least two continents together? No, the definition of island is surrounded by water on all sides. We're surrounded by water. North America is not surrounded by, by all sides. So if you have two countries, so say Canada was split in half and we were two countries. So the second we get Quebec, if Quebec splits off, we are no longer a, like, does that matter? Well we wouldn't be an island by the way. Say the States wasn't there and we were a thing. And Quebec split off. Yeah. We would be on an island. And the island would be called North America. The problem is that North America is not in and itself an island. So you're saying two continents. Because it's connected to a land map. You're saying two continents. North and South America combined, you could make the argument, are an island. That's what I'm saying. But Australia is an island. It's also a continent. At least it's not incontinent. Shout out to our Australian viewers. We're not trying to appear too ignorant about your country slash continent. Some of my mods are Australian. Slash island. Some of my mods are Australian. And they live on an island. And they're awesome. Where did, how did we get into this? I have no idea. Why are you talking about islands? I, what? I'm pretty sure you started this. And since, since there's no way to go back in time and find out. You mean the archive? No. No way to go back in time. Moving right along. Wait, is it? The tastiest deluxe we have ever made. No. Say Asus. So they've gone ahead and put a bunch of M&Ms on it. And there's a couple things that, that I noticed about it and then Slick actually made his own set of realizations about this particular picture. So it probably tastes good. Yeah. The first thing I noticed was the M&Ms and actually that was all I noticed. So Slick, why don't you share your realization with the viewers? At first I was like, oh, they released a deluxe board with black PCB. Yeah, that was, that was the best. Oh, they already have black PCBs. But the PCI express slots are black, which is nice. And that is the realization that I was actually, I wasn't even expecting you to tell the story about how you thought deluxe boards didn't have black PCBs. You know how long ago it was that deluxe boards did not have black PCBs? That's why I... Yeah. My A8N32 SLI deluxe had a black PCB. Whatevs. There's so much blue on it. When I see the board, I think of blue because there's so much blue on it. That's true, but there isn't any more blue on it than there is... Are there any ROG boards in the house? Where are ROG boards? Oh, there's one. One right there and one right here. I don't know how you didn't see either of them. Well at least I knew that they have black PCBs. Oh, whatever, man. Actually you know what? You're probably right. Because the thing about ROG boards is they have a lot more consistency to their color scheme where it's like they'll have black and then some black and red accents. And there's definitely less red on this. That's true. And the deluxe, the deluxe boards though, they'll have like blue accents and then white accents and then like dark blue and then like... Like three or four different shades of blue. Okay, that is true. Or even like silver. We've got one there actually. It's got silver, light blue, dark blue. Light colors with light blue and dark blue and like just blue everywhere. Okay, I'll give you that one. So I think I had asked the viewers for some Twitter Q&A at some point here, but I think I've gone and screwed up my windows here. Okay, so we're going to try this one more time and we're going to hope this... Did you fix your desktop? Isn't the desktop view of... Yeah, yeah, yeah, I already fixed that. We're going to try this one more time even though I actually don't think it's the thing that screwed up the live stream last time, but guys, please stay tuned for a word from our sponsors and all of that. We do have to show you this. And since I can't upload the stream that I did last time, I hope you guys will sit through this one more time for me. This video is brought to you by our trusted partner, Intel. For a limited time only with the purchase of any unlocked Core i5 or Core i7 Intel CPU, get a free Intel beanie with a chance to win an Intel snowboard. Downloaded for Canadian and US customers only. Some restrictions apply. For complete details, visit IntelGamingPromo.com. Okay, so do you think they're still here? No. No? Do you think they all just left? Yeah. Like, you broke the damn stream after making me watch an ad. Then you just make me watch another ad. What are you trying to do? I'm sorry, you guys. There's nothing I can do about it. I have to have something on it. And people are like, so what's the point of an Intel branded snowboard? You know what? That's actually a really good question because we've had a lot of people ask this. And I mean, honestly, guys, I'm with you. I want to fight the nerd stereotypes. But when I upload a video that has an ad on it that goes, buy an Intel CPU, get a chance to win an Intel themed snowboard with like an Intel paint job on it. And half the comments under the video are, what would I do with a snowboard? I want an Intel snowboard. That would be awesome. I mean, I don't even know. I don't even know. Like, how can we, how is that? How are we in a defensible position at that point? If we actually don't know what a snowboard would be for? Maybe 50% of our viewers are scares. That could be it. Although there was, there were at least a couple of guys that posted specifically, I don't go outside. What would I do with a snowboard? To which the reply might be, well, you could give it to your friends who snowboard, but then I have a feeling I'm just going to get a like forever alone picture back. That's mean. Yeah. I mean, oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, there we go. There we go. Epic sniper 145 is a skier. So that he might be one of the, or she, she could be a girl. Might be one of the ones who, who, who, who wouldn't. Americans that would have zero use for a snowboard. Although you could just be a bad ass and put it up on your wall. Just saying. I mean, if you have like exclusive. And then if you happen to go on a trip, you would just have like this awesome keep. Yeah. And it would be like, it would be like the very best kind of cannot has like that limited edition stuff where no matter who you show it to, you get to be like, yeah, cannot has like X amount of people have this. Yeah. Like 15, I think they have 15 boards to give away. So anyway, guys, if you're in Canada or the U S if you bought a 35, 70 K 37, 70 K 38, no, 38 20 is not unlocked. Is it? It has to be unlockable and it has to be a Ivy bridge. No it doesn't have to be. Does it? I think Sandy bridge is okay. Oh, whatever. An unlocked Intel chip between those dates that were in the video. I think what is it? February 1st to March 31st. Or if anyone, you know, you can submit like their receipt if they don't care about it. If anything, if nothing else, you get a free hat. So there you go. It's free hat, free hat, free hat. It's a beanie. It's a beanie. What's the difference between a beanie and a hat? Doesn't a hat usually have like a. I think a hat's just something that goes on. It goes on your head. A thing that goes on your head. All right. So technically this is a hat. What is that? Is that just your hand? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's a hat. Your hair is still damp. Yeah. Oh. Okay. Well, moving right along. Let's do some Twitter. Wee. Please promote the LTT folding at home team. Yeah. 136 new interactions. Probably half of them are complaining about the live stream not working. I'm very sorry you guys. Sorry, we can't click. We can't click. We can't click. Because sometimes they're bad. We've had some problems. Yeah. We've had problems with that. I think the snowboard could be a weapon. Are you are slick excited for the legendary update for Skyrim? Have you heard about this? Have you heard about this? I've heard like tidbits, but never actually read into it because I've been really busy. You know what? Why don't we just use that as a springboard into the thing that you were super excited about, which is that Elder Scrolls. Elder Scrolls Online is going to be at PAX East and will be playable at PAX East. And they're like giving some stuff away. I think they might be giving away like in game cosmetic items on release. Maybe all this is kind of like fluffy, but they're definitely going to be at PAX East. So what all do we know about Elder Scrolls Online so far? It's all like changing. That's why I don't really like actually officially saying anything because when they originally announced it, like doggy paddle, so much stuff has changed. Yeah. They're not listening to people, but then they're also not listening to people. I'm a pretty huge Elder Scrolls fan, but I'm worried that they're going to deviate too far away from the Elder Scrolls norm. And Elder Scrolls Online is going to be available for the first time in the game. See I got my bounce. I got my bob going on here. Wow. Okay. Moving on. Carry on. I'm good. Okay, so basically they're listening about some things. They're not listening about other things. I'm worried about them deviating too far away from the lore, deviating too far away from the Elder Scrolls. Third person MMO style camera. Which is not really Elder Scrolls style. See that to me, the funny thing to me about third person is I personally find it to be less immersive. From an RPG type of person. Oh, for sure. I totally agree. Like totally less immersive. I find it to be more contrived. It's like, I don't feel like I'm that guy. Sometimes. I feel like I'm a weird guy. Or usually I play like female mages. So I'm like watching this chick like all the time. Sorry, but like, what are you even doing? Why are you climbing up onto a table? That's not the sturdiest table. I know. Okay. Oh, he's going to pretend he's. Okay, there we go. One game that I actually find it's pretty okay in is Assassin's Creed. And I think it's because they have to have it and it's over the shoulder. Not quite gears of. What? That was the weirdest thing. Cause I did not see. Let's see you all around you for fighting, right? I mean for a tactical game, I don't mind it. So for something like wow, or for something honestly like. Kill people then, you know, yay, third person, that's fine. But what excuses there if there's a single, a single character that you're controlling to have a third person? Well, Assassin's Creed, I think it works. Okay, but Assassin's Creed is not an RPG. I would make that argument because you are playing as a character. It's an action game. You're not playing his role. It's an action game. It's an action game, yeah. So Elder Scrolls has to be RPG. RPG is all about immersion. Yeah, I'm on your side, man. I want it first person. I want like just make it Elder Scrolls and make multiple people in the game. What does that do for the mass market appeal of all these MMO gamers who are used to playing with third person cam? How are they going to sell this thing? Which is probably why they're doing it. But then are you going to lose your hardcore audience that is going to truly drive the whole game? Because there's always your backbone, which is the hardcore guy. Tell me this though. Is a gamer a fan of Elder Scrolls or a fan of single player large explorers? Change with the elders with the MMO scene. They didn't want it to be okay. Wow was released X amount of years ago. Everyone says everything's a wow clone. Wow is a clone of a whole bunch of other things. Wow has changed so much since it launched. No, exactly. Everything's a clone of everything if you want to call it that, but whatever. They're swords. Yeah. Oh my god, it's the same game. It's a clone of 60. Everything's kind of a clone of everything, but I think they want it to deviate a lot. They want it to be an engine. So kind of like Eve Online then where there's an actual, you can actually rise to power. This I think is more official. Kind of just dominating everyone. You're actually the king. And you would become king. Maybe it's kind of like the South Park episode. I wish I knew more. I wish I knew how you became king. Because then you'd want to be king. Or maybe this changed. Because I read this a long time ago. So this might have even changed. I don't know. But they're trying to change a whole bunch of things. I just hope they change the right things and don't just totally ruin it. Because yeah, to me Elder Scrolls game first person. And I only played Oblivion. There was Oblivion MMO or whatever, the mod, so people could play multiplayer. Yes, but that was like horrendously broken back when I played. Oh yeah, of course. And then at 99.9% sure there's, I know there's Skyrim MMO. I don't know how well it works. I haven't tried it. I tried Oblivion MMO. I have not tried Skyrim MMO. Because of the experience with Oblivion MMO? No, no, no. I've wanted to. I haven't really had the time. I still kind of plan to because it's going to be a while until Elder Scrolls Online comes out. But anyways, and like a lot of people like these things. People are fighting so hard for that. And that's no changes. Just multiple people in the game that wasn't even made for multiple people. And people like that. Why change core game mechanics? Just move the game to a realm that makes more sense. Because, and this is the argument that I would make, an Elder Scrolls player is not necessarily an MMO player. They have to appeal to a completely different player that may have never even played an Elder Scrolls game because they're one of those like girlfriends of gamers who around the time WoW launched got hooked. So gaming got its hooks into them and they've played nothing but maybe WoW and maybe some other games since then. But they've never actually tried that single player RPG genre. But then that comes into like, I want- And I'm not trying to generalize. Girls can be gamers. Every time I make a comment like that, someone sends me a message and tells me I'm wrong. It's not what I mean. It's not what I mean. It's generally speaking, my audience is 97% male. Okay? That's all I have to say. Why let the whole entirety of MMOs change you? Why not try and change what's going on? Why conform to everything else? Why like, why not change the game? Why just do what everyone else wants you to do? Because every time someone tries to change something, it ends up becoming free to play and then the servers just shut down. You know, free to play I don't think is necessarily a good thing. Game Fortress 2 was better before it became free to play. You didn't have a bunch of silly hats. And the fact that there was a barrier to entry to own it, I think kept some of the riff raff out. That's becoming a thing. And is this just me being an elitist jerk? No, I actually don't think so. The barrier to entry is kind of a big deal because then also there isn't people that are just like, oh yeah, I can screw around and piss off everyone, get my account banned and just be like, whatever, let's go to another account. Right, exactly. The community isn't strong. When you had to actually pay to use the thing, I think the incentive to treat her correctly... Well, okay, hold on. This analogy is breaking down. Oh, wow. Take a cow's back there. Oh my goodness. Okay, let's just, yeah, new topic. Hey Linus, do you speak French? No, je ne parle pas le français, mais je l'ai fait de rien longtemps, quelque chose comme ça. I used to be able to speak a little bit of French. Honestly, it's mostly fallen apart. Northeast Texas apparently has snow, just not a lot of snow. Well, you need a lot of snow for snowboarding, so I think we're going to go with the original comment there. Snowboarder here, very good. Lots about Virtue MVP 2.0 software. We've played around with some of it. I think we talked about this a fair bit back when Z77 launched, so if you check out some of the NCIX Tech Tips episodes from around that era. Will G860 bottleneck GTX 650? GTX 650 is a really slow card, man. You're going to want to get yourself a 7770 or a 7750 on the Radeon side. 650Ti is a much more competitive card, but the 650 is actually a GPU change lower, and it's much slower. If you're going for that tier pricing, 7770 has been benchmarking really well. 7770 has been actually just blowing the doors off of our expectations lately. The AMD NeverSettle drivers have... It's funny because we never used to do the... Taking a game and then taking a bunch of different GPUs, like our head-to-head GPU comparisons we've been doing lately. We never really used to do that. And those are cool. I like doing those benchmarks more than almost any other benchmark. Those are fun because it gives us a really good idea of, hey, here if you have 200... Because that's how people shop. They go, okay, I've got $200 of Christmas money or holiday money or whatever holiday... Okay, don't worry about it. I've got $200 to spend. I want a graphics card. What should I buy? That's how you actually shop. So that's why we're going, okay, here are the pricing tiers. And since we started doing that, we started doing them after AMD launched their original NeverSettle driver in November, which increased performance on their graphics cards up to like 30, 40%. Absolutely huge. Huge numbers in real AAA titles, and it was extremely exciting. And before that, whenever we'd done any testing, AMD was sort of lagging behind Nvidia with the 7000 series and the 600 series. But since then, it's actually gone completely the other way. Plus you get all those free games with it. Those game bundles are nuts. They're giving you stuff that isn't even released yet. Way back in the day, it'd be like, oh, I got this random racing game with my gaps card and it's just kind of weird that no one plays it. Yeah. It's just like, okay. Or you'd get some MMO game that's empty. Yeah. No one plays this because it was released like seven years ago. I remember someone was giving away City of Heroes years and years after release. I was like, come on, really? What are you doing? What are you doing? It's just going to go free to play in a couple months anyways. Yeah, exactly. It's like, yay. But then now it's like huge titles. Crisis 3, Far Cry 3, Tomb Raider, BioShock Infinite, like massive titles and like a lot of times unreleased possibly when you're buying a card. Hitman Absolution. Hitman Absolution. AAA titles, like all of them. These are nuts. And you know what's funny? Actually, this just leads me to another conversation topic. You know how often I get accused of being an Nvidia fanboy? Actually, you probably do. Yeah, I'm trying to think right now. How many average do I think I see? Like on each video where we talk about graphics cards, there's a good like whack of them. What I don't understand though is like, okay, the first- The last one we did. The last one we did. The last one we did. What was that? What game was that? Crisis 3. Yeah. Okay. So what were the results on that one? Didn't AMD win most of them? It was pretty much dead heat. Oh, right, right, right, right, right. Yeah. So like per price point, it was like this. It was the previous ones. This, this, this. Yeah, StarCraft. I saw Nvidia fanboy comments on StarCraft. Even though AMD- AMD slaughtered. And I think what was the game we did before that as well? Far Cry 3, right? Far Cry 3. Far Cry 3. Same thing. AMD won there too. And on these videos, somehow I am an Nvidia fanboy because we did one video showing how to benchmark Crisis 3 that was sponsored by EVJ. In fact, for that matter, we're going to have more sponsored by Nvidia messaging on some of our videos. Yes, Nvidia is a sponsor of the show. Yes, I happen to run an Nvidia GeForce graphics card in my personal system. My wife runs a Radeon. She got a 5870, an Iphone 86. Sort of a weird card selection, but don't worry about it. She actually used to game a fair bit. She played a lot of Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2. Yeah. She even played some Supreme Commander with me, which is pretty cool. I love Supreme Commander. Too bad Supreme Commander Forged Alliance just messed it all up. I probably ranted about that before. A lot. Yeah. That's cool. StarCraft 2 Heart of the Swarm coming out on the 12th. Oh, that's exciting. Yeah, that's actually going to be awesome. I'm really stoked. The main one I'm going to be stoked for is the Protoss release. So like year or two from now, but whatever. Like directly commented. So like I like it when there's like community interaction from the actual company that's making the game and their stuff was kind of outdated. Right. Like just the style they're doing a lot of stuff was outdated. It wasn't that interactive for the like more mass consumer market, like just tons of different stuff. So they adapted a lot of stuff. If you haven't logged in StarCraft in a while, a lot of the changes are already implemented and Heart of the Swarm is coming out on the 12th. So you should check it out. All right. So let's move on to our next topic for the night. Should we do our featured build of the week? Did you get the? Yeah, I got links and everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's do our featured build of the week. So this is extremely exciting guys. We have just a phenomenal build to show you guys. So just a reminder every week we're taking a featured build and I'm just going to show you guys where these come from here. I'm just going to maximize this here, this here window and the Linus tech tips forum, which is down here. Build logs. You go ahead and post any, you know, pictures of your rig. It can be something you're working on now. It can be something you worked on already and it's actually one of the more active sections of the forum. You can see. So it's the 8th of March today. Everything down here has been commented on, which I think is just so positive and so cool to have people just contributing and commenting on each other's rigs and helping each other do better and all that good stuff. I mean, this is what the Linus tech tips.com community forum is all about and this one just absolutely stood out. Okay, you guys are going to be looking at all my topics here. Cheaters. This is our featured build log of the week. So Justin C is the man or lady, although I think it would be Justine. Justine at that point. Yeah, like his name is Justin. So it's probably Justin. If it's Justine, it's probably Justine. Could be a typo. We can't, and we can't make assumptions. Yeah, we can't make assumptions. Maybe Justin is actually her last name. So it could be like, maybe that's the screen name. Yeah. And that's actually her last name. Could be. So none of these pictures are working, which is fine because I was ready for that this time. So here's a gorgeous side picture of this phenomenal rig. Is he's actually managed to implement a flow meter in a way that doesn't make the rig look stupid, which he gets bonus points for right there. He's managed to implement blocks on pretty much everything. So you can see he's got a Maximus V formula. He's got it liquid cooled. There you go. So he's actually using the integrated three eighths inch block that is cooling his MOSFETs. He's got his RAM water cooled with an EK water block. He has multiple radiators going on here. And you can see he's managed some of this extremely clean tubing routing. I mean, check out this down here. I love this. Straight lines going into compression fittings. Nothing looks better than that. It reminds me of like the canisters of ooze on like Ninja Turtles because, oh, it looks so good. And it glows like that. It's just freaking awesome. And so he's got individual sleeving going on on most of his wires. He could probably tidy things up a little bit, but with any kind of build that's actually built and actually full of lots of hardware, a lot of the showcase builds guys, they leave out things like they only put in one drive and they do this and they do that for the sake of making it look tidier in pictures. This is an actual functional rig. So he's got, yeah, just, just an absolutely beautiful, beautiful system here. Are we going to show the truly awesome part? Maybe I missed the truly awesome part, but I've got his desk here. Oh, go back, go back, go back, go back. Go back. I don't even think you saw the good part of this bill. What? I liked it already. Just go, go back to your last picture. I'll try and point it out. Oh, did I miss something? You totally missed something. Okay. What'd I miss? Check out the color of everything. The color of everything. Pay very close attention to the color of the parts. Oh wow. He actually painted his board. Right in here. Change the led to blue. Okay. You have to point it with the mouse. Wow. That is, that is. LED backlighting on ROG is blue. This is blue. I didn't even notice this. This is blue. The, the, you can't see it, but the PCI Express slots are blue. The SATA ports are blue. Everything's blue, but nothing on that board is blue. That's outstanding. Look at. It's amazing. Dual D5s. Those are D5s. Yeah. It's just like, you, you got to check this, like after the stream, you got to check this out in way more detail. Build log of the week. There's absolutely no prize whatsoever, but you get to be featured on the stream. So yay. Speaking of people featured on the stream. Oh wait. I'm just going to go somewhere with that. Oh rats. Okay. It's okay. Here. Hold this for a sec. So speaking of people to feature on the stream, we are joining a YouTube network. So those of you who follow on Twitter probably already know this because I sent out some tweets about it. If you follow on Facebook, you even more likely already know this because Twitter just like is there and then just disappears. Whereas Facebook is a little bit more persistent. So we are joining a network. We are joining a network that is no one was able to guess it except one guy who guessed some pretty random stuff. So he made three guesses in one, in one tweet and he said, um, Twitter, Intel or Twitch.tv. And I was like, I basically replied, I was like, two of those guesses are stupid, but one of them is correct. So a big shout out to at 121 Sheldon 121 for being the one who by merit of his one throwing darts in a huge arcing motion towards the dartboard, throwing a handful of darts straight up in the air and having one of them land somewhere good. Awesome. So yes, Twitch TV is going to be our YouTube network. And I've had a lot of people ask me what exactly does a YouTube network do? So examples of YouTube networks are Rev3, Machinima, IGN, there's lots of gaming ones, SocialBlade. So what these guys do is they aggregate channels. So they act as like a layer here that, so I'm already a Google YouTube partner. So that's, okay. So ad networks, what they do is they have a deal with Google that allows them to sell their own ad content, put that in front of the videos. And then they, instead of Google, just sort of generally selling ads and then doing their best to optimize the placement. I mean, from time to time, you're going to see an ad for Tide Laundry Detergent in front of my videos. Let's face it, gamer crowd, how often you wash your clothes? Or how often do you specifically care about which brand name of detergent? I was going all the way to how often you wash your clothes because I really don't. I don't wash my clothes that often. I just grab the red bottle. The red bottle? I go to Costco and I'm like, that is a large red bottle that says detergent on it. That is exactly what I want. Okay. So Tide commercials, maybe not that relevant for whatever reason. So what these ad networks do, of the swarm commercial or something like that, something that's way more likely, at least actually more relevant to your interest. It's still going to be skippable if it's super long and still going to have all that same stuff that goes along with it. But the idea is that by selling the content to people who are, who care about delivering ads to people who are watching it, is that they can generate higher CPMs, which is the dollars per thousand views, and in theory, more relevant actual advertisements to the people who are watching it. And so it should be in theory better for everyone. So yeah, nothing's really going to change on your side. Like there will still be the skip now button that goes after five seconds and all that like, all that stuff will be identical. It's just the person that is putting that ad there is now someone else, someone else instead of Google. I've had some people say that they're worried that I won't be impartial. You know what? I'll always be impartial. So whether you see a sponsored by Intel video in front of my videos, whether you see sponsored by Nvidia, sponsored by AMD, whatever I say to you guys is still going to be what I actually think. And Twitch.tv being our, our channel network is not going to affect anything whatsoever because I spent months, actually I was shopping for five months deciding on which network to go with because I wanted one that, that wasn't going to try to affect the content in any way. I mean, I'm always willing to take constructive criticism. I hope you guys know that I read comments, I read emails, even though I don't always have a chance to reply. I read all my private messages and we're pretty insanely transparent. Like we've got all of our overclocks to like the exact settings that we put in for all of our graphics cards online. All of our like cooler tests, you guys can't see this, but whatever. It's our standardized, okay, drop something. It's just a box. Okay. It's our standardized cooler test bench. I mean, you can see it, you know exactly what our methodology is. I mean, explain it every time. When you video your test bench, there's not a whole lot that you can hide about it. So I mean, numbers don't lie. And so we give you numbers. Let me talk about them. Let me talk about them. Especially I talk about them. Yeah. It's not going to affect the content. Don't worry. It should just be in theory better for everyone. But you know, hopefully that that hopefully that holds true. All right, let's go ahead and let's do some, let's see if anyone sent any interesting tweets to us here. We use the snowboard as a test bench. Yeah, that's actually not a bad idea. Oh, wait, you could use standoffs as your stomping pad. Or more RAM would be the best ways to do that. Quadro. Yeah, quadros. 32 gigs of RAM. We actually just up. Okay. Yeah. So we've got some Kingston RAM that we're going to be putting in his workstation. He had 16 gigs of RAM and the guy has DaVinci Resolve open all the time. He's got like Photoshop. He's got Premiere. He's got After Effects open all the time. So you like walk up to his computer and it'll be like out of memory. You're like, great. How are you supposed to work like this? He's like, I have no idea. He's a diva like that. For a workstation. So we're really excited about him being able to work faster. Not really sure where I was going with that. If you had computers. We'd be CPU bound. Yeah, we don't have a lot of CPUs. We have a lot of power supplies, a lot of cases, a lot of motherboards, a lot of coolers. We could do pretty much everything. CPUs. We'd run out. Yeah, we'd get capped out of CPUs actually pretty quick. I think we've only got maybe because we've got our 3570K, we've got our 3770K, we've got our 3960X for the test bench. Are we including personal computers? No, we can't count personal computers. And then we've got an 8350 and then a couple APUs. Yeah. So like actually quite a few, but not probably as many as you'd think because we have a lot of other parts, but we'd hit CPU capped. Because we probably have anywhere between 12 and 15 power supplies for comparison. I mean, the reason we hold onto them is because you may actually need it at some point. I mean, that sounds crazy, but we've had situations where it's like, oh, we have to do like a red themed build. Where's the fatality 1000 watt? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Let's go find a black power supply with red sleeving, fatality 1000 watt. We've got stuff for different themes so that we can do videos right. And people expect us to have this stuff on hand. Like if we do a build where it's supposed to be like a red color scheme and we have like a blue power, so people call us out hardcore. And I'm just like, come on, man. You expect me to have all this stuff? Usually we do. Usually we do. Yes. Not the point. Could you do a shout out to Henry Brooks and Ruben Horner? No. Two 660 Ti's or one 680. I'd probably go dual 660 Ti's even though I usually don't recommend a dual GPU graphics solution over a single one. Those two work pretty well. Multi-rasking. That's a very rude thing to say. 7950 versus Nvidia equivalent. Which is better for the price for high end gaming? I'd go 7950 if I was buying today. Comes with, comes with Crysis 3 and Bioshock Infinite, right? Yes. I don't remember if it's the higher tier one that has Crysis or if it's the lower tier one that has Crysis. And it, and it like over clocks like a boss. Yeah. No, it totally over clocks like a boss. Kason Kason says he just fell off his chair. I hope he's not asleep by now because we're totally giving him a shout out. Make sure to tell them that there's a $30 off discount on those processors too. I just bought one and got the promo. Yeah. That's remember in the Nightlink Weekly that we filmed today. I think that had the $30 off on it. Oh cool. It was a 3770K $30 off. We get stuff from NFCIX. We have manufacturers send us stuff. Like for example, this notebook that I'm trying out for as long as I can get away with trying it out. I really don't want to send it back. I know. You have to man. I know. Acer sent, Acer sent this over for me to check out because I asked them if I could, if I could try one in person because I'd seen it and I was like, oh. My favorite thing is the battery pack. By far. Really? Why? It's just kind of cool. I wish it was integrated slightly better, but it's kind of cool. Yeah. I wish it was honestly, if I can, if I had to complain about something, I wish it was a little bit thicker. I wish the touch pad was a little bit more responsive and I wish the battery life was a little longer, but overall still my favorite notebook ever. So bam. Why did Slick show? We were filming a video where I had to, how in depth can I go on? Go for it. Okay. Okay. So we had to film a video and the idea. This was for Seagate. So we're actually filming a video project for Seagate showcasing. If you guys saw like, okay, here to be clear Linus Tech Tips will always be our editorial content. Whereas Tech Quickie will be sort of informational pieces as well as videos that we're producing specifically for hardware manufacturers. So this is one for Seagate's Wireless Plus that we're working on right now. That is like totally uncapped and just like, I'm not supposed to look like I'm doing that great and I walked past him and he's in a nice suit and he has a, his leather briefcase and 35, no 30 bucks. I paid for that. It's like cheapo leather briefcase. It looks a lot more expensive. No, I know, I know. And then so he's walking down the street on a tablet and when I walk past him, I kind of see what's on his tablet and just go like, whoa. I just kind of follow him along and then he goes into a restaurant and he's trying to eat and I just like slowly move closer and closer to him while I'm looking at the tablet. And I'm like sitting there eating and then he's like there and I'm like, do you mind? And basically the idea is it's, the Wireless Plus drive is one of those drives that you can share your media content with multiple tablets. So I'm like, dude, I can help you stream it to your own tablet. So we're trying to be like, yeah, here's, here's what this thing does. Just doing a video where we're like, here's what this thing does. Buy three today and get the fourth one free. Call now and get a sandwich. That would be an awesome addition. I know. I'd buy so much more stuff. Welcome to the Linus Tech Tips live stream. Call now and you can get one sandwich. Like Quiznos actually goes out and like delivers it to your house right away. Call in the next 20 minutes and it won't have any mold on it. That would be fantastic. If you did ordering and when you called in, you like, you have to give your address to have to receive the product. If right then, because Quiznos delivers, I don't know if they do in Canada, but I know they do in the States. Some of them do. The one in Richmond does. Yeah. So you can actually contact Quiznos and actually send a guy from Quiznos deliver a sandwich to your house right then. Right as you order your good two nights. That would be amazing. That is what Amazon should do next. 100%. Okay. Cause Amazon, Amazon's whole thing now is same day delivery, right? So if you have prime and certain locations, same, a network of partners, which they're already working on. So you could actually go, okay, Amazon's got a promo. Buy this laptop, get a free subway sandwich. The subway sandwich shows up in like half an hour. So you get that instant gratification. Yeah. And your laptop arrives like the next day. There's a whole new world of cross promotional opportunities here. 100%. I love it. It's like, it's like joint post on the Linus tech tips forum and get like a free hammer. This transfer so well. Cause you could be like, okay, pay per view for UFC. Yes. And they bring you pizza. And they bring you pizza right when you order it. Exactly. Oh, this is, and it's like built right into the price. You don't even have to pick up the phone again and call pizza. We should be like, and then all of our live streams, we could just be sitting here flicking stacks of money. It's probably too late because they all heard it. Okay. If any of you have this, please give us each a quarter million dollars. Just a quarter million. Just a quarter. I don't think so. I think that's reasonable. I was going to ask for a million and then I changed my mind. Quarter mill. That's all we're asking for. We want $250,000. And a sandwich. And a sandwich. We want the sandwich now. Let's go. Come on. Oh, that's the best idea ever. It's fantastic. Yeah. Like buy a laptop, get free sandwich. Okay. Let's talk about real things. Fine. Spoilsport. Yeah, look. Sorry. We'll talk about that later. Talk about real things. Okay. Tell Slick to grow back the beard. More comments on your beard. Well, okay. No, it's horrible. I hate it. Don't grow it back. Usually I would trim it, but it was just too ridiculous. Here, hold on. Can you hold on a second here? Talk about your beard. That's literally all I had to say. That's all you had to say about your beard? What do you do? What if I just dodge? No, no, no, no, no. That's not helping, actually. Now I'm just seeing your nose. That's not actually better. Hold on. We have to see your dreamy eyes. Focus assistance. Why are we doing this? I can see every pore on your nose right now. There we go. Those are some nice dreamy eyes you got there. So dreamy. Can we not? Can you just come back so we can talk about tech stuff? All right. So I'm going to talk about the Humble Bundle. Cross platform, works on Android, works on Steam. You always talk about the Humble Bundle. Because Humble Bundle's awesome. I know, but it's not even unique anymore. But the games are. That's true. Okay, fine. Talk about your Humble Bundle. Humble Bundle's awesome. I don't remember what games are on it, but HumbleBundle.com. Go to it. Super cheap. I think the average right now is like $6.67. So if you pay like $7, it's probably a good idea to not pay $7. But if you pay like an okay amount, because it splits. You can pick your split. It goes to developers. You can pick exactly how much each developer gets. Or you can just say developers don't get anything. There's charities. You can pick exactly how much charities get. Or you can say they get nothing. Or there's Humble Tip. And then the Humble Bundle Foundation, which runs the whole thing, gets an X amount of money so they can actually survive and eat. Or you can modify it yourself. Every once in a while I modify it a little bit if I really, really like a specific charity or a specific developer or whatever. And I've bought every single Humble Bundle. So one time I just maxed out the Humble Tip. So I was like, these guys probably barely exist. And realistically, this isn't even that much money in the end anyways. So at least I'll try and help them out. You know what they're basically like? They're like a middle man. They take stuff like they're just a publicity mechanism. Yeah, but the nice thing about this is it being software, it doesn't cost the developers more money because they're not manufacturing it or anything. So they're in no way possible taking a loss. Because this is likely people who weren't going to buy your game. Not trying to be offensive to them, but they probably weren't going to buy your game. Now they're buying your game because it's so cheap and it's exciting and it's on a timer and everyone's going to buy your game. I pay in the end less than I would if I bought each game individually. But I don't pay the minimum, or I think it's like a dollar. It might not even be a dollar. But I don't pay that and I don't pay just above the average. I usually pay just above the average so I can get the stuff. I bought the THQ one. THQ one was pretty epic. I bought the one that came with, what's that awesome World of Goo? I bought that Humble Bundle. I think I bought like two or three of them. I bought the first few, but then I kind of got bored of it because I never play the games. Really? Yeah. I like the Android ones actually. Okay. I don't really like, I don't usually buy apps on my phone. Then I buy the Android packs which gives me a bunch of games. Then I'm like, okay. Sword and sorcery? Sword and something that was in the last Android bundle is actually a ton of fun. I ended up playing it on my phone and my computer. Because whatever. So along those lines, ah yes. Okay. I just got a message from a friend. Time stamped a little after nine. I think he was watching us with our technical difficulties telling me I need to get fiber. The issue is not the internet connection. The internet connection here is fine. It's 15 megabit up. It's lots. Notice that we have a fair amount of downtime on the forum which is a big issue for us and causes no small amount of headache. So, Slick, tell us the exciting news. We are getting rack space in a data center. Yes. A lot of our down times has been because the internet has been out. A lot of our down times have been because the power has gone. Uninterruptible power supply behind the rack and behind that is not like behind it. Anyways, there's a huge diesel generator. So if the power goes out and then the UPS dies, there's another thing. So we're probably okay. And it's a green data center which is cool. Wind and solar power and all that good stuff that Captain Planet likes. So yeah, we're really excited about that. We can't roll it out this second because we've actually shipped the drives we need. So we shipped a Plexter M5 PSSD for our boot drive. I know it's a consumer grade drive but as far as consumer grade drives go, that's about as close to enterprise as you. 40 Pro would probably be pretty close as well. But other than that, I probably wouldn't use a San Force drive in that kind of a workload. Compress it upon reading. So we've gone with an M5P and then we've gone with two Western Digital Enterprise storage drives. And we're going to be running those in RAID 1. Then we're going to be running the SSD. We have four bays, right? We have four bays. So what's in the fourth bay? WD Black. It's just going to be used to just push two. Right, okay. And so the RAID 1. So it's going to be used mostly as a cache. So things will either go in RAM, then SSD, then hard drive, depending on how frequently they're being accessed. And you figured out a way to do that that's like... Okay, I'll just trust you. Good work. Magic. Yes. That's gone as an issue. We're not going to have to deal with... We had two internet outages this week. Or three. Three. We had three internet outages. There's nothing we can do about it. When the internet goes out, it goes out. It wasn't hackers. It wasn't anything like that. It was just the internet's out. Yeah, it's not like I can just unplug or re-plug the cable. The router is getting nothing. It's not on our end. So it is what it is, but we're getting it addressed. We're getting it dealt with. And once it's done, we're going to do a major announcement. We'll make a video on the YouTube channel, and we're going to be giving away four. Oh, we're doing the announcement. Yes. Oh, no, we're talking... Maybe don't all go there at once right now. Please don't. We're not quite ready yet. But be ready for this. So we're giving away a 1X+, we're giving away an 8X, we're giving away two other phones. I don't even remember what they are, but... Just four awesome phones. HTC is going to do the fulfillment, so I'll never even have to have the phones. I'm just going to send them the winners. We don't even know what the requirements are going to be yet. Maybe we'll do an Easter egg hunt or something like that. I don't know. That'll be kind of fun. We'll do something. Mystery Guitar Man has done that before on his YouTube videos, and it's actually pretty fun. Okay. So we'll come up with something fun for you guys, but yeah, we're really, really excited about it. So hopefully you guys are excited too. There's some other stuff in the works for the Form 2. We've honestly been holding a lot of our cards back because of the state of it. It just hasn't been stable enough. The downtime. We're sorry. We're just trying to find and just all this stuff. But yeah, I'm super stoked. That's going to be awesome. Another shout out to the mod team. Thanks for even keeping it at least alive in the state that it is. Without the mod team, the form might not even really be there. Yeah, we might have had to just pull it down until we found a better solution. So thanks guys. Yeah, thanks so much guys. Speaking of other things that we're giving away. So the like for channel... Have you liked the video? I'm sure you have. I'm sure you have. I'm sure you have. I'm sure you have. I'm sure you have. I'm sure you have. I'm sure you have. I'm sure you have. I'm sure you have. I'm sure you have. I'm sure you have. I'm sure you have., I'm sure you have., I'm sure you have. I'm sure you have. I'm sure you have. Like hilarious humor that has a very broad spectrum then there's like And on for like three minutes and she's like this is stupid you would give me such a hard time for watching anything this stupid I'm like, I know but I think I just want to watch it and even though the plot is very random and bounces all over Stupid but often that you've never heard of just coming out of nowhere. The characters are good The characters are really really well made Finn and Jake are awesome bubblegum princess is very very well developed like Even the lumpy queen or I don't even know I think it's lumpy lumpy something like very good character development Fairly deep characters for that style of a show like it's good for that style of a show. Exactly. It's a stupid show No, but I meant by that style of a show is I mean not a very very focused linear plot. I see Okay. Well either way, I'm defending this. I said it's not defensible. I it is it is indefensible. Let's rock I am gonna be watching more Adventure Time after the stream one way or another. So I think why don't we just all agree on that? What else we got here today You know what? Why don't we do a little bit of Twitter Q&A and then I've got I think about three more topics And then we're probably gonna wrap this up. All right back to the Twitter Maybe that's why people think I speak French because I'm doing that from glade thing all the time. Yeah the Twitter The Archer for the win Oh Linus we are all your children archers good, but this is the weirdest tweet I think I've ever gotten what what exactly is predicted actually No, no this one I Am Wow That's because everyone is pissed and they have to do something Like okay, I didn't even think about this as a live stream, but holy crap. You just screwed up. Yay Like whoa Amazon is thinking of pulling it because they're like, yeah, it doesn't work No one can connect It's one of those DRM things so you have to be online Why don't you clarify this for the viewers who don't know what the heck you're talking about? Okay, SimCity recently released The first SimCity game in like ten years something like that. Yeah It's been a long time. SimCity 2000 I think was the last one wasn't it? No, I think there's one after that Okay, it doesn't matter. Yeah long time. Yeah, it's been quite a while and so they release it and Just like can't connect can't do anything. You can't play like I don't have it So I don't know the exact things that are going on like I know with Diablo It was like error 32 or whatever but like SimCity you just can't play like you can't connect You can't play dear MX is you can't play offline, which is horrible. I hate that really for a SimCity game Like come on. I Mean I can at least with okay at least Blizzard had the week Like justification that they're like dynamically generating the dungeon and the servers doing it Although they just had the same stupid technology in Diablo one mind you Yeah, but the other weak justification is that they're using the server to distribute the loots in a way that makes it more meaningful. I Don't care Like I understand it makes the economy work better right and because there's an actual auction house Which you can sell things for money? Okay Okay, so but still annoying Exactly doesn't matter. Okay, you couldn't sell your stuff because you could not go into multiplayer game You should be able to play single player I don't want to talk about this anymore I'm not look I'm not defending Blizzard. I don't think they're right. But anyway SimCity completely indefensible much like Adventure Time Indefensible much like Adventure Time Do you agree that SimCity's online requirement is indefensible much like Adventure Time no You can't you can't complete your sentence after I say an affirmative Why not because it doesn't work that way. Yes, your sentence was already done. No it isn't I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it Whatever Continue anyway So so so yeah, I mean it's cool that they're doing something about it But it's more of a damage control like we had to do this than just like EA's soft and fuzzy and warm I'm not going to save them more money than not doing anything. Probably. Well, hold on. Hold on. Maybe this is their evil scheme What if this is a two-for-one sale? Because look at how they have See how they have a date that's actually after today So you've got ten more days to buy SimCity and activate it to get your free game So they have turned a publicity nightmare into a promotion. Oh That is that is That is some like I think we have a layer of hell like I think we need to go on adventure towards EA That is just insane. Okay. Do you think that was how the meeting went like everyone's sitting around going? Okay, how do we turn this into a positive? Cuz I'll buy that Yeah, two-for-one sale. Let's turn it into two-for-one sale cuz wasn't it EA where the The promo code thing the origin servers. Yeah, you could apply the promo code to everything and they just honored it cuz it's like okay Let's maybe every EA mistake is a promo Just get more people talking about it. Yeah doesn't matter You Didn't Have origin Jumped on and got a game. Wow. So EA is not incompetent Okay, I want you guys to have a whole new outlook on life. Yeah EA is not incompetent. I would say EA being incompetent is an outlook on life for many people They are actually the cleverest most devious game company ever The next thing they're gonna do is battlefield 4 is gonna come up without Battle log and then everyone that was like holy crap battle log is terrible will buy battlefield 4. Yes Or it'll come up with battle log and then they'll take it off after like a week or something Yeah, so the original people were like All the people who accepted battle log will come and then all the people who ran away because battle log it'll be huge news Because they'll be like, oh, yeah, we listened and we oh Yes If anyone from EA is watching you can't steal our ideas or if you do we want a quarter million each and a sandwich And a sandwich we want the sandwich now. Yes. All right moving on to our next topic. Actually, this is another EA topic Okay, I would go as far as to say you should never pre-order a game ever again. We did Why I would say that okay actually, you know what let's bring this back to our conversation earlier about PAX East So I was you were all excited because Elder Scrolls Online was gonna be at PAX East I was like who cares because it's not gonna be released content. It's gonna change So whatever you're seeing actually may not even be that representative of the game. Hold on. Okay, it might be I mean it might be but it also might not and I said would you pre-order the game? Personally if they gave me some form of incentive to do okay, let's say they give you a dog a dog Honestly, we'll probably pre-order it anyway I Did like a while ago Okay, fine so So get this I mean I pre-ordered star citizen I'm throwing this out there I spent 250 bucks on my star like pre-order pre-order pre-order and I get the ship I get the constellation I thought you forgot the name was I was like, wow Wow So, yes, I'm getting a constellation but based on this experience You'd almost have to be crazy to pre-order games on March the 4th We logged into origin. So we're gonna just beat up EA again. We logged into origin and slick was like hey crisis threes 30% off Yeah, oh my god. I forgot about this completely What did you think I was gonna talk about? I had no idea I was like, oh, I said you remembered what we were gonna talk about just now like minutes ago You're like, yeah, because the pre-order thing. Oh Yeah, no, I was tying it all back into this. Oh, I know this is the point now I know on March the 4th crisis 3 was 30% off. I was like, oh, yes Look, it's probably like the like deluxe uber stupid edition that comes with like like like a sexy like shiny blue visor Or something and it's the awesome uber edition, but also just the normal one So it's 30% off no matter which crisis 3 you buy crisis 3. I mean, is it even been selling poorly? Everyone's talking about it It's probably been selling just fine. I'm pretty sure people are buying it. So how do you feel? All of you guys, okay Twitter twitch chat. We're gonna check out the twitch chat as well tell me how you feel about ordering crisis 3 at launch or Or ordering it before launch if you it's also 30 bucks on Amazon There you go or ordering it pre-launch. Tell me how you feel about that if you paid full pop for it And yeah, okay. So here we go. I see a lot of caps which is probably enough to explain what we're reading right now There's a lot of caps people are like it's cheaper in store. Anyway way too early for a sale I mean on the one hand it's like yeah, I feel great about getting a deal on stuff I mean, yeah discount stuff all you want. I paid 60 bucks a month or 80 bucks a month ago Now people are getting it for 45 50, yeah, and you paid 80 bucks Someone was saying 30 bucks on Amazon. So there you go. Not a good feel someone's like I got it for 30% off Ha ha ha ha ha well, yes I Would be spitting my nachos and frijoles at the monitor. Okay. Yeah, someone says pre-order sequels Thank you great advice. I'm gonna pre-order Bioshock 3 just for that I know Someone says the end is near. All right, let's go to Twitter and I feel ordered brink. That was my big pre-order fail That looks so good. It just was fundamentally broken. Yeah Who will win in a fight you were slick. This is not on topic. I Got a $20 gift card for pre-ordering which is more than 30% off Okay, that is actually a very good point if you get some kind of incentive Good is cash and certain in-game items like your constellation like a dog. Hey man, I like dogs It's pretty cool. Okay. Did you ever play follow three? I did not actually oh, I'm sorry dog meat. It's like one of the coolest followers. He's just a dog his name's dog Whatever but like he's awesome. I thought you were talking about actually eating dogs. No I'm disappointed then oh You're terrible. I pre-ordered from Amazon and got 23 bucks from Amazon What kind of difference will kuda cores make in video editing versus a competing AMD product? Well, they will make a difference Whereas the competing AMD product will not if you're using premiere Anyway, premiere with the mercury engine is kuda optimized but does nothing with AMD's open seal. I Would be blanked Mad talking about pre-orders. What do you think about the Arma 3 pre-order where you get alpha and beta access? You know what? I actually don't mind Alpha beta access is pretty cool. Yeah, I don't mind that I mean same thing with star citizen is you're getting alpha and beta access which I'm quite frankly You're still paying to test a game. So but at least you're not paying to test a game after release The only thing that I don't like yes. Yes. Oh my goodness. That was a good point. Um, one thing I don't like about Very early beta access and some alpha access is I will jump in there going There's like a 10% chance my games gonna work Well, but like I understand all this stuff because I I enjoy testing things I don't know why cuz I'm kind of crazy runs Mozilla nightly. I run I run nightly I run beta steam I run I like testing things. It's cool. I had big picture way before a whole bunch of people. That's pretty cool Whatever, man So I like going into testing it. I understand it's possibly not gonna work. I'm just not even gonna look at you But a lot of the times you look in the chat. It was like, well, I can't believe the game's not working This is alpha. I paid for this. Why is it not working? I can't believe this at all And it's like come on guys. It's an alpha if it's like really really late beta Maybe you could possibly worry like the battlefield 3 beta was fairly worrisome because people were like Teleporting under the ground and like folding in half and this was like a week before release. You're like, whoa I'm walking like straight and this guy's torso is just going like this around the middle of the body Another brilliant EA marketing strategy they release a beta version That's actually like months before where they're actually at in the development. So the release is such an improvement that they're like, yeah. Yes So they get everyone talking about how bad the beta is But they've already pre-ordered already anyway, and then they get everyone talking about how The stupid launcher Yes Oh my goodness. I'm from now on I'm gonna turn every negative thing about EA into a positive for them That's gonna yes, not for us. That's gonna be my new thing EA can change it from it's in the game to it's all a game. Yeah What strategy game would you guys play any given day if I had a choice I'd play a supreme commander vanilla Cuz I love that game No one cares what you play Starcraft, will you please please please start doing how-to videos? Is 3d nice on a 21 inch screen or is it too small for 3d? Well, I can't think of any 21 chimp 21 inch screens that actually support 3d slick must date Esther Esther is not available beholden to EA now No Linus SimCity has staggered worldwide release dates, so it isn't available in some places still ah, okay And you know what that's one thing that really annoys me software Software territorial really are you freaking kidding me? Like if it was so close to not being ready that in order to adapt it to a different language for a different region Like you weren't there enough yet, and you needed another four days This you have got to be kidding this brings in an interesting topic too. I think that if something isn't ready push back the release date I Will be okay with it. I would rather you push back the release date then release something that is just broken What if they release something somewhere else somewhere else and don't release it to you? Then how do you feel cuz it was ready, but you just don't have it I the opposite thing this makes me upset too because Assassin's Creed usually comes out like Way after console for PC. Yeah, like come on I want to understand though because there's actual porting to be done, but just get another team to do it and do it Well, that's expensive everybody else can you? Okay, yeah, okay, this is indefensible whereas porting porting a game But at least I agree there's some justification I think it should still be where is like I mean yacht sees whole favorite thing in the world is complaining about Australian release dates We got me this English for crying out like they're like a month behind Oh, they can be even six months behind sometimes like it's ridiculous Harbor releases are even worse and it's like now that everything's digitally distributed like come on I mean, I know they live on an island Maybe you got if you ship things by the slowest possible boat then maybe it takes a while But come on I get something from China to here in like a couple days. Yeah, I'm sure you can get it to Australia I play sim city and watch Adventure Time all the time you mad Linus I'm not mad at all about that any special videos coming up for the sub goal honestly No, this one where we talked about yay sub goal Maybe when we hit 500k will do something special what what I have no idea what you're talking about They're not oh, yeah, you can talk about that We just need to get the Nvidia sponsor spot finished for that So our first sponsored videos by Nvidia are going to be ones that have absolutely nothing to do with any Nvidia products Nothing at all sort of important for us Anyways where he does 35 70k versus 83 50 we're not doing the exact same benchmarks It's him because there's realistically no point in doing that so we grabbed we grabbed different situations different clocks Alias saying not anti aliasing like different OS's we're trying to contribute to the conversation We're not trying to be like no yeah, we're not trying to just redo his test no because there's no point We're taking a slightly different angle. We're taking our spin on it and going okay. Here's what our findings are 8350 versus 35 70k and they're interesting Best mid-range processor and video card for video editing I would probably say 81 50 and like a GTX 660 because Then you get kuda course. It's only 200 bucks each and do little text file hacking Yeah, you just said you have to do a text file hack to get the Six hours, and it's all good there you go five percent uptime yes, no Wow minus will you upgrade to GTX Titan now that there are water blocks for it? No I won't because I only have one and so I need that one in fact. I think no that's not it Changing it and based on how long it's taken me to build it this time six years that might be a while I'll win the 4k monitors 120 Hertz IPS panels and 16 gig ram DIMM's PCIe 4 come out. Thank you Unknown release dates release them all in this stream right now that you don't know yeah, January 26th the 2014 is when we're gonna see PCIe 4 Do you 26 2014 is when all of those things slick just come out we all know you're a brony you are a brony Are you oh it was diesel who's a brony right? Yes? Yes diesel is a brony I know one of you was talking because they explained what no diesel has a friend That's like a hardcore brony that runs a club or something yeah, but I'm pretty sure diesel like watches a little bit, too I don't know I get the I'm not gonna make accusations. I hope I'm not getting text messages from him right now It wasn't actually diesel though, I don't think it was diesel wasn't he think it's his friend Yeah, but that's I mean how often do conversations start with my friends my friend got touched in a bad place And he's not sure what to do All right, we'd love to know what other people have purchased directly because of you h100 zone our STX and HD 598 Those are good things to buy BAM. You've got all the right ideas sir or man I'm what kind of difference will coup de corps is making oh, I think someone's already asked that age of empires to HD coming in April You know what I would actually love to see this as a trend old games Just getting makeovers and being released exactly so happy I have no problem TIE fighter with like sweet good graphics. I'd be so down for that like Descent descent to do you ever play descent no I didn't oh my goodness like oh So much fun. I mean you know the funny thing is is this has existed I mean valve keeps releasing the same stupid terrorist versus counter terrorist game over and over again Final Fantasy doesn't like crazy. Yep. Well yeah, but they change it. That's the problem Yeah, and then you know what they've done rereleases though. You're right Yeah, they did a DS rerelease of two and and one and they did a PlayStation rerelease of six Like just people like it man. Just do it Yeah, grab like your most successful titles and just just really I mean okay Someone if if it's square enix redid Chrono Trigger Like word for word we did it with better graphics I would say so happy I'd play it at least a couple more times like and like this isn't because we pay for it This is honestly because when I go back to play some of these games some of the some of the art styles Yeah, that's what I mean some of the art styles actually age incredibly well, and I'm like don't even like don't update that you don't need to Yeah, it kind of looks good in that way, but then there's other ones like Morrowind did not age Well, if I go back and try and play vanilla Morrowind. I'm like oh oh This is gross, but then there's like there's tons of mods You can make it look great, but I'm just saying vanilla Morrowind while I love it looks kind of grotesque Yeah, that's gonna be freaking awesome I mean 7870 Myst edition, it's a Tahiti based 7870. Yeah, I mean that's not really a 7870 Chrono Trigger for DS. It's on DS. Oh, okay. Well. We just got told we apparently don't fall on mobile When I got my iFixit screwdriver set and the shoulder button was not fixable We got one of them working. Yeah, one of them was fixable the other one wasn't so I'm sorry. My DS still works So I'm probably gonna play Chrono Trigger for DS Whatever man Okay, okay, I think we're down to we're down to that we're down to the creepy tweet So we're gonna let's move on to our next actual topic here. I had another one We're in the after party. Are we in the after party? Well the stream started late So is this technically after party or is it not quite yet? I don't know how late the stream started Okay, well, we're not in the after party. Oh Oh Oh, yes, oh I got a good one. Yes. Okay. I'm excited about this one. Actually this one You know what? I have a new thing that I'm I always put it down out there. Just think You put your hand on it. I also have a new thing that I'm doing on the forum So we're gonna have our featured builds and then I'm also going to have Featured news items. So if you guys post in the news and reviews from around the web section There is a chance that you will have your thread featured on the live stream, which Obviously will be very fulfilling for you. It might not but whatever I'm still gonna do it Anyway, so this is the tech news and review section. Go ahead and go in there this thread right here by tech fan at it is extremely exciting these will say tech fanatic. Yeah Don't worry about it Tech fanatic. Thank you. There we go. Good work. You're on fired So the PlayStation 4 will have fizz X and apex support in spite of the fact that the PlayStation 4 Runs on AMD hardware Okay, so this this is this means a lot of things so there's oh man There's so many different ways to go at this. So number one is Nvidia. Where was fizz X support on the desktop two years ago? Because you know what their claim was is it's not validated for the platform And why should we develop for that in spite of the fact that I mean over and over again people were taking I mean Oh, this goes even. Oh, okay Just gotta calm down You'll be okay So the thing that Nvidia was refusing to support was an AMD graphics card with an Nvidia dedicated card Just You know it's a you know unsupported platform It's not part of the correct ecosystem And I understand all those things except that it was usually a simple hack that someone could implement To get it working, but then the next driver release would intentionally break it So it became like this arms race of and people fought it like I know people that ran for the X cards people hardcore fought it So now they're taking it one step further and they're going okay. We are not only going to allow fizz X in a radio on graphics Powered system we are going to allow fizz X on AMD hardware so that means to me that it is Supported on AMD hardware for one thing like definitely like definitely works on AMD hardware It means they must have known about this for a while So they're going to be like, oh, I'm going to be able to do this for a while I mean if Nvidia has enough details about the Next generation AMD hardware that's going into PlayStation 4. I don't think it's using GCN. Is it is it? I honestly haven't looked enough into the console specs. And so yeah, so they're so they're doing it for console, but they're not doing it for but they haven't Forward to better games and this is all very cool. I mean I love the idea of fizz X Love it every game should have Nvidia fizz X and it should be a core part of gameplay. Why does it not work that way? Because AMD still exists and fizz X doesn't run on AMD hardware So as a game developer, how can you build a game? That's not going to run on 20 30 40 50 60 however many percent of the gaming machines that are out there. It's impossible So you're going to end up with like tin cans that you can kick around and your character will kick them More particles and stuff like that. I think this is Ranks up there for the most rattled that you Okay, what are you tell me your thoughts? Well, I totally agree. I just I haven't looked into this nearly as much as you have I haven't looked into it much either. This is all I know it things that rattles mean to you things that rattle me are like Borderlands When Borderlands came out look at the fizz X comparison with it on and off there's stuff in there that could have been done Yes, it was just removed like it's that's what rattles me about that kind of stuff is when you're like, no You could do this, but we're just gonna take I know then they don't have to let but they're meeting technology use it But it's not even that that could be done by things aren't that aren't physics. That's right But but if Nvidia helps the game developer, right? But it's artificial artificial differentiation Is it artificial? Okay here look at it this way If you're the game dev and you don't have the resources to make really cool particle effects in your game It's not gonna make it to the release version and I come in and I say look I'm gonna give you some I'm gonna help you get this done, but we want to do it this way. Okay, it's gearbox Okay, yes Okay, yes Pretty sure they're okay. They still have budgets every game every game company has a budget whether they have unlimited money or not. Yeah So, okay. I just I I guess like I don't know what happened I can speculate that Nvidia came around and was like, you know, we'll do this for you and gearbox was like, okay We can lower our budgets. Okay. So what does this mean for the desktop? Because think about it this way PhysX this could mean that it's coming to the desktop it could or it doesn't but think about it this way Back you want to go the way that gradually console game development has driven the way that PC games are developed This is where you go. This is where I'm going with this. So is Nvidia by Enabling this technology on now Because before it was always this one platform PC and it was on let's say for the sake of argument Nvidia and AMD have 50% market share I know for a fact they don't but we're just gonna say that let's say they're each 50% Sixth of the town the total addressable market Okay now if Nvidia enables this technology on both next generation consoles because this is only saying PS4 But I'm assuming it's gonna be on Xbox 720 as well and on Nvidia desktops all of a sudden that is now Five sixths of the available tan and it's probably actually more than that because consoles very very big Yeah, so let's say let's say it's seven eighths even that I think is conservative Now what happens to AMD desktop graphics cards owners who don't own physics enabled hardware But the game has core gameplay that is physics dependent now what so is this Nvidia? bending and Doing something that enables better gameplay and all and I believe it does I believe in physics I believe it can make better gameplay hundred percent So are they doing it out of the goodness of their hearts to give everyone better gameplay or are they doing this to crush to? Create a very small niche on the desktop market where AMD's cards can't be competitive That's interesting at the same time as I said last livestream And it's kind of developed a bit this time a lot of developers are coming out saying they're gonna start with the desktop import down Okay, that's true, but that doesn't change the fact that if they start on the desktop There's still physics on the desktop. They're developing Nvidia, but they're probably I don't know if they I Guess it completely comes down to developers. Okay. Remember though. You're the person making the decision is not necessarily a gamer No, I know the person making the decision is going okay We want to deliver cutting-edge technologies like you know that splash screen at the beginning of the game big video engine cry engine 3 Physics Whatever else it says they want to put a bunch of those stamps on there They want it to seem like high-tech and sweet they want to hit as large a market as possible Do you put physics in your game? It's and this will like it obviously won't be all games as well because not all games need physics I think pretty much anything could benefit from it In some way, maybe yeah, okay. Tell me a genre that wouldn't benefit from physics. I was just gonna say platformer, but then you still could Oh, yes, you still totally. Oh, yes, like definitely physics platformers are awesome. Yeah. Okay, what's next? Yeah, RTS Oh physics You you If you had like if you like multi target you could have power-ups that change the composition of the paddle and the ball and Calculate differently or you could bend your thing and it could be like, you know, perfect whatever Anything can benefit from real-time physics I think along with virtual reality physics in a big way is the next big evolution Oh my god, physics with Oculus Rift A 3d object The the actual benefit for each 10 times amount of processing power like some of the worst diminishing returns we've ever seen Yes, like it's like nothing after a certain point and you can look at the Tomb Raider game with the super realistic hair Or whatever else and that's powered by AMD's GPU compute by the way, not physics But anyway, so it turns out they can do physics calculations on AMD GPUs So you look at even some very recent games like that and it's kind of like okay Okay So again, we're not getting a benefit from more triangles and smoother surfaces We're getting a benefit in realism from physics hair. I mean even your stupid 2d side scroller the character can have realistic hair So yeah, that's it's going on stupid. So there's two ways to look at this either you look at it and go Holy crap. What does this mean for AMD on the desktop or you look at it and you go, holy crap What does this mean for gamers in general? How cool of it? How cool of Nvidia would it be to go? Look, we're still gonna call it Nvidia physX and we're gonna Software limited Whatever, but we're gonna open it up for every platform So now physX can become a core part of gameplay on every major platform How does that excites me as a gamer as a hardware nerd? It kind of scares me a little bit. Well consolidation scares you in general. Yeah, I hate consolidation So, I don't know very conflicted no, we're definitely after party now in fact, I'm kind of getting tired so After party did you hear about the the chick in China who got a bottle of moisturizer? Oh, oh Yes, I've heard of this oh god 300 bucks that was the fine. Yeah Okay, wait quick shout out to Mark Thompson who hooked us up with a water-cooled Water-cooled GTX 280 graphics card that we're using for a demo build in the Silverstone TJ 10. Thanks Mark. You're awesome Yeah, you're awesome. Okay, so I don't even want to say this cuz this is putrid but I don't know. Was it a secret admirer or just an admirer? Just like I think he was a secret admirer Okay, so this could be wrong but going with secret admirer liked some chick I don't know if she's special in any way But liked some chick like I don't know if she's famous or anything like during awful lot liked her a lot and Couldn't figure out how to express his like for her Or like fanatic level of love for her But sent her a bottle of was it labeled as moisture? Yeah moisturizer So it was labeled as moisturizer it was supposed to be moisturizer and it was an entire bottle of his sperm Yeah, well probably some seminal fluid as well. Well, yeah. Yeah So like so it wasn't she had actually and she didn't realize what it was Too late. So it was actually her roommate or friend or something who? Smelled it and was like that's not moisturizer So so so get this $300 fine to the guy only 300 bucks. That's disgusting Like that is the most disgusting thing. I mean for $300 I might do that to you. That's all I have to pay That is gross Actually, I'm not gonna do that $300 it's trivial And everyone's tuning out But $300 fine, that's it and And then get this he goes on the record saying You know his his affections were misguided and But he's still gonna do it Attic restraining order you are a horrible person That's just You just Know know don't I feel like I really can use Know You know what that's a level of creepiness that just goes beyond you just said something that goes beyond I know but I'm It's a joke it's like that that arrogant worm song I kill the dog next door. It goes something something something Gonna kill the dog next door ain't gonna bark anymore because this is judge I'm doing the little runt has got to pay there are turds on my lawn that stupid Doc We'll soon kill kill kill kill kill kill that dog and then Something something something something Then he starts to bite so I strangle him with all my might. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I'm gonna kill the dog next door something something something and then I strangled him and then the police came and then he got a $300 it was a $300 fine in the song. Yeah $300 fine. Wow, what a good value. I think I'll kill my neighbor too. Oh oh Great song guys if you're not familiar with the arrogant worms, they're like truly like legendary Canadian sort of goofy artists they do sort of just kind of silly songs and like Canadian themed songs and Yeah, anyway kill kill the dog next door or kill the dog next door or something like that good song That's that's that's where my mind was going with the joke. Like it was like ha ha ha. Well, it's only $300 So why don't we all do it? So he kills his neighbor's dog gets $300 fine Putrid I would actually expect a much bigger fine for the lotion thing like like way bigger or just like jail time Like I don't know something bad. You shouldn't be allowed to be in the same country as her Yeah, but where are you gonna deport all these people to some island like? Australia They did do that It's not it's not like that's the craziest thing anyone's ever said or it's not the first time anyone said anything that crazy Or did it or did that? Yeah, they did because people did that thing. So yeah, bam Y'all just got banned Advisor to the razor board of directors, so they're mostly wanting him to be involved in the system side of the business so if you guys aren't already familiar razor doesn't do just gaming peripherals now they have the Blade series of notebooks with their switch blade interface, you know, it's funny is my razor blade unboxing video got flagged as Inappropriate content by YouTube because razor blade. No, I had switch blade In the video description so I sent them a like I contested it I was like guys there is Absolutely nothing in this video that is in any way inappropriate. I think you probably flagged it because of the switch blade in the title so Basically, they re-enabled it like a week and a half later and I had missed out on all of the rat ad revenue and it Ended up being like quite a popular video. I'm like, come on guys like that that kind of stuff's not cool I mean I understand why they're they don't want ad content on something with the title switch blade but on the other hand, it's like Obviously a computer. It's a software. It was the thing on the side, right? Clearly nobody looked at it. Yeah, it was it's just the Voodoo PC which was acquired by HP bringing with it the NB product line and its related technology and design inspirations Additionally co-founded an array of networking and educational. I just turned my laptop off. So the point is excited or not excited about having Voodoo sort of Mindset go into Razer systems because they're already pretty unique Yeah, and they kind of have their own style. Yeah, I'm like If he does something like the you use this, I mean, he's just an advisor. So they just want advice Right true. Okay, so he's not actually like designing systems like the pedestal PC I Don't know. I think Razer is doing okay for their design. I really like if there's anything That I wish there's more GPU power, but they kind of fix that on the latest one I can't complain like if I was trying to dig for things to complain about I couldn't complete be like Oh Razer's design is not good because that's like they're beautiful. Exactly. They're like great Apple caliber Like I mean is good. I'm like the packaging and everything like yeah, like they've got designed down. So I don't know I wonder what they actually need. I mean the press release was kind of interesting. There's a lot of padding in it But yeah, I guess I'll just be I'll just be interested to see what kind of happens Yeah, I wonder if like if they're thinking of taking like a new product line direction Yeah, like maybe they'll really like yeah, I don't know like I can't imagine he needs the money at this point Like so maybe I mean he just wants to kind of get back into it a little bit and Influence some I mean of the guys doing gaming notebooks innovation wise Is there anyone who's doing things as differently as Razer? No, I mean is it perfect The answer is probably no and there's like a few things like I like that MSI integrated SteelSeries keyboard. That's true Okay. Okay, so guys are doing things I don't know. I'm interested to see what that turns out being turning into whatever else and that's pretty much it Oh, yeah, why are knocked to a brown knocked with fans brown? We talked about this. Yeah I love not your fans. I hate The way not your fans look like okay, they look good in some systems They look great in our thermal test bench because our thermal test bench is an army green and it looks awesome with that they look awesome with that the thing is they don't suit the color schemes of most systems like they can work, but they're just do not see the color schemes of most systems and like So we've had a lot of people ask us Why do they make their fans so well a couple different ways of phrasing it ugly or? Distinctive looking that's another way of looking at it So the reason they make them distinctive looking is because of this whenever you see a build online Whether it's powered on or off You know what fan it is or if you don't you say why did you use such ugly fans in your system to which the person? replies they're freaking awesome and the thing is That's a huge part of their bill blog anyways, so like if you have not two fans in your system It's a notable party. Yes. It's like it's like a status symbol It's like it's it's a choice that you've made to use these fans and I personally think it's been an extremely positive thing for them because Any amount of people talking about it is good if at the end of it It always circles back to well I have them because they're awesome because they're the best performing fans on the market or whatever other reason Audio level that assert Remember those commercials I'd love those commercials. It's awful, but it tastes awful, but it works Yeah, it's like okay if I'm sick. I'm probably gonna go buy Buckley's Yeah, I'll just deal with it and I'll feel better right looks awful, but it actually works so there That's the that's the way that I see it and That is it for all the topics that I had planned tonight Um Unless you have anything else you wanted to talk about So good night everyone a lot of people complained we didn't have enough of a good night last time, so I'm very sorry about that I finally understand that reference. Yeah, we spent about 20 minutes on that after the last live stream watching different What was it what was the name of that one where they go through and there's all the different rooms There's like the argument room the argument clinic. Oh my goodness if you haven't seen it Monty Python argument clinic That is amazing. Freaking awesome. I love it. Absolutely. It's like the best thing ever That's that's actually my favorite Monty Python sketch. It's really really good Not really what happened this week, I don't know it's been kind of a busy week hasn't it I Realized I woke up this morning. I'm like, oh, yeah You know what I'm gonna go get that thing that we just got my keyboard Don't unplug and bring down my keyboard Which one's that? The one I just switched the keycaps on Who cares? It's just your stupid keyboard It looks cool Okay, well he's out of the room he actually has no idea he doesn't watch the archives, so it's okay He looks at the comments, but he doesn't watch the archive I have this program that makes it look like your screen is melting Like it looks really good should I prank him don't do not say it Tweet it to me, but only me do not attach his name to it And we'll decide what to do at that point. Oh cool Thank you I just whacked it It's okay, it's getting rewrapped anyway Okay, so check this out guys We have an oh, it's upside down We gotta fix that here Watch the ceiling you got it okay, so we have we have an entire Tabletop surface or here, let's uh We can move it back even further That's gonna be part of a SteelSeries themed Gaming den type thing So we're gonna just put it down on the chairs Yeah there we go There we go, so we're gonna have like It's okay, I think it's gonna balance Oh no you had it, that's why it wasn't falling Oh good work Okay, so we're gonna have a SteelSeries themed Actually this has to be rewrapped There's some problems with it so The vinyl guy is gonna get it redone But this is the first draft of our SteelSeries gaming table So we're gonna be doing some videos for SteelSeries On the TechQuickie channel Where it's gonna be like product overviews And stuff like that that they're getting us to do for them And we wanted to put together something really special As like a gaming den that's SteelSeries themed So we're gonna have some cool SteelSeries swag on the wall We're gonna have this vinyl wrapped SteelSeries gaming desk It's just like an Ikea desk Like kinda nothing special But it's just gonna look like swag and ballin' And it's gonna have like a sweet monitor Liquid cooled rig on it SteelSeries peripherals all over the place And it's just gonna be like a really cool backdrop For some of our SteelSeries videos So guys if you were thinking about getting your desk vinyl wrapped Which I'm sure has occurred to all of you Oh 100% Yeah 100% It actually only costs like 3-400 bucks So I was pretty impressed that it wasn't actually that expensive So it's very very cool I mean obviously there's the cost of the table And you know transporting it around And sort of there's a lot of effort that goes into it certainly But if you wanted to have a really truly unique desk experience All we had to do was we asked SteelSeries to provide A vector file of their logo and background And their correct colors And we got this done So I'm really really pleased with how it's going to look Even though this one's not quite right yet And I hope you guys are as excited to see the final product as we are So yeah I just thought I'd share that with you guys Since you're staying tuned for the after party anyway Although I don't know where I'm gonna put this now Oh careful That wall's already dinged up and off Yeah I'll be back Yeah I know The poor white box never stood a chance Oh I was gonna get your keyboard too Shoot Slick changed all the keycaps on his keyboard Why don't you talk about why you changed all your keycaps Cause it seems like a good idea? No you changed them to a different kind It was like the whole thing That's the whole point What? Alright I'll go get it So I changed a lot of my keycaps to PBT keycaps It's ABS and PBT So if you guys want me to prank him tweet me directly And then I'll set it up and like I'll set up a camera And load it as one of his icons So when he tries to open I'll make it something stupid like Internet Explorer that he shouldn't be opening anyways And I'll make that melt this screen so it'll freak out Let me know if you guys want me to do it if it's interesting And if it's not interesting I won't probably Either way doesn't matter Anyways so yeah they're ninja printed PBT caps with a golden style printing on them So I used to have black and white striped going along So with a lot of random mixed in And like not proper striping and just all this kind of stuff going on Like I liked it but it was pretty kind of ridiculous So now it's at least slightly more properly laid out I mean it's removable cable Whatever man Didn't have to unplug it So it's ninja printed They're not going to be able to focus on that Ninja printed so that there's no actual printing on the Most of the black keys you can see That's really hard to point at stuff Here and like whoa all these ones up here You haven't done this before apparently No I haven't There's actual keycaps up These ones I'm going to get different custom ones for them Because they're really boring right now but I don't have any yet The arrows I like having white on the arrow keys Because it just looks kind of good And all the rest of them are just random novelty ones But the PBT caps are kind of It's hard to see there but yeah you can see it Golden style printing on the edges So it's not super noticeable But you can see it And then at the top it's just all blanks And I just think it looks awesome They're also PBT so they You can't really see it very well at all But if you Google a picture of PBT caps You'll be able to see it a lot easier They look grainy Like really really really grainy Textured I think is the word he's looking for Well that's a form of textured Why don't you hold it close and I'll see if I can get the focus right Okay It's going to need light too though Hold on Just like this Okay there Okay I think we got it You can kind of see it on the end There so that's the texture that the keys have Okay go ahead and get back down So they look like really really textured and really really grainy But they don't really feel like that You can tell that it's like ever so slightly more rough than the standard ABS caps But it's not like Like it does not feel like sandpaper or anything Like it feels good I don't know he's not a huge fan No I don't like them I think they feel cheap and plasticky Like it feels Like the noise it makes when you scratch your fingernail on it It feels like it's actually like a lower end keyboard Like it feels like it's going to wear out Even though it never actually necessarily does At least like not nearly on the scale of ABS caps If I had my other I'm not going to go up and try and hunt for them But if I had my ABS caps that were on here from before My space bar had a glossed out part on the right side where my thumb would sit Just because I've had this keyboard for a really long time And that just happens To lower end key caps That kind of stuff won't Dignitiously long time happen to PBT So tell me something What happened to that $200 keyboard that you bought Why is that hooked up to your computer Keyboard A device inherently You do the same thing Ok you know what I kind of do the same thing but why don't you think of something That I'm supposed to touch that I refuse to touch I bet you can't Because I can't list off all your cannot has right now Because I don't remember them all I don't know Most of my cannot has don't really go in a system Like I've got my Apple GHD Gold I've got my Ammo Box Um Not really I buy stuff with the intention of actually using it Did you use your stack Oh no Oh oh Interesting But I have a better radiator than an MCR 320 stack But you could use it But I have a quad I didn't always have a quad Ok where would I use it though I don't know you could have used it some point in time I have a TGO7 It accepts a quad in the bottom No I had a PA120.3 But a PA120.3 with 17 mil spacing Has more surface area than an MCR 320 stack with a regular MCR 320 anyway So you bought it with zero intention to use it It was a sample I didn't buy it Oh yeah That's right yeah How did you con that That's awesome It's Swift Tech If I need it for a project or something I usually pretty cool about it Did you use it in a project I used my keyboard and I have used my keyboard How long did you use your keyboard for About an hour I used it in the Battle Use it from then on My plan for it Is that it's going to be the keyboard at my parents house My old system Is the system that I use at my parents house It's your triple A keyboard It's by far better than anything else You own Not just keyboards I want to do more research Ok the Posts from ripster Or something that talks about UV coated keycaps Because that's an area that I know nothing about And can't easily find anything about On the durability of them Because they're ABS caps Because they have the see through part They have KBT plastic in the middle Of the ABS caps so I'm worried about them Glossing over and I don't want my super awesome Keyboard to be a daily driver That I gloss over Why don't you do this Why don't you take all the keycaps off And just put Other keycaps on So you can actually use it I'm sure Twitter and Twitch chat Are both going crazy with how lame you are Max keyboards NCIX carries max keyboards now That's cool They don't gloss over Someone just told me they don't gloss over Just don't use the keyboard Ok apparently they're all on your side Someone says penis Yeah I'd just save the keycaps Keep it as a show piece Or for tournaments Ok well apparently they're all on your side Not my side Mind you my side is actually Like I'm just kinda playing devil's advocate I do the exact same thing How many keyboards do you think I have stashed Because I don't want to use them At least three but I would say four Ok I have a G710 plus New in box sealed Ok I didn't know you were stashing that one I'm just counting your Philcos Ok yeah I have at least Two or three Philcos I have a G15 No but that's not new in box No but it's in really good condition It's pretty much like new And I got a wrist rest point You said you were going to use it for the editing machine And I was like Well I didn't end up using it I was like why are you doing this No no I did not I did not end up using that The only one I actually use for my Although unlike you I'm using My favorite keyboard as my daily driver This keyboard is awesome Is it your favorite? Is my Xybal 60 my favorite? Yes but you're not as into keyboards as I am That's true I don't think I'm as into Anything as you are into keyboards I like keyboards Last night on my keyboard Trying to clean in between the key channels On the switches I want to one day be good enough with keyboards That I could keep a fluid conversation with a ripster That's my goal I know This is funny My very favorite My very favorite Twitter stalker Ashley Snowtiger On Twitter Says Where in your forum should I post A quick message To help her And saying she was going to take Advantage of her direct connection Where she can ask me things directly And I was like lol I'm all posted in my forum So you know what Ashley If people know you're a girl On a hardware forum You'll get help A moderator will help you move it And then members of the forum Will help you answer it So yeah everyone Pile onto Ashley's Thread As your app to do And yeah I'm sure it'll get taken care of So yeah Thank you for watching And I'll see you next time See you next time Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Very good looking fans What CPU CPU CPU CPU CPU CPU CPU CPU CPU CPU CPU CPU CPU CPU CPU CPU CPU CPU Why Why Why Why Why Why Why Why Why model comes with more RAM. Or this model comes with more warranty or comes with 3DMark, Fire Strike. Or like the cooler, this one has anti-dust. Or like, look at that kind of stuff. Or this one looks really cool. Honestly, yeah, I'd probably pick the one that fit my build. A lot of time, that's what I go based on. So yeah. Have you seen the Razer Edge tablet? Actually, yes we have. We did a video about it when we were at CES. And I'm actually bugging them once every few days to send us one so we can really spend some time hands on. Very, very cool. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Some guy said Knightly's awesome. We fight through our problems. Knightly has some quirks sometimes. But it's all right. TressFX, we were talking about that. That was the Tomb Raider sweet realistic hair physics thing. Very cool. OK. I'm tired now. Goodnight, everyone. Are you tired now, too? Yeah, I'm tired now. Oh yeah, I can press F12. It's supposed to be more graceful, though. You don't just randomly. We're trying to be more graceful, so we changed some of our key bindings. So we would just like to say goodbye. Want to hear something funny? Let's just roll our Intel ad until they all leave. Is that a graceful way to end? It's not graceful at all. No? OK, we'll just end it. Goodnight, everyone. Totally not. Goodnight.
