So here's day two of the event where Chris is making the argument that it's not the size that counts, it's what you do with it. That is right. Which is something that small people say. As a fellow small person who doesn't happen to be very tall, I uh, I'm with you on this. If you hear me Linus, uh, oh we're gonna fist bump. Yeah, fist bump. Yeah, yeah. These computers that we have in our hand are doing everything we need them to do. We're just getting information out there, right? That's what everybody else is doing, except that our batteries are probably going to last longer. Oh, I'm sorry, do you need more power? We've got plenty here. Oops. He looks pretty burned. You can't recharge your laptop here, can you? Why are you attacking me? I win. Because according to the video, you decided to smack talk me. I didn't smack talk you, I asked if you were seriously going to work on an iPhone. You know, when I am seriously working on an iPhone. Right, that's all I asked. No, no, no. You said something else. No, no, what are you saying? No, I said are you seriously going to... Okay, now if you're going to make, if you're going to make the argument that size doesn't matter, would you actually fight him? If you want me to, sure. I know, I'm out, I'm out. So basically because the uh, the stream hasn't started yet, we're all just kind of sitting around trolling, taking pictures of each other. Can, can I see that picture? Uh, yeah. Don't worry, I have an actual like zoom that doesn't suck because I don't have a DSLR. So uh, oh there we go, there we go. Oh I can't focus on it though because I don't have a DSLR. So we're about 15 minutes late, but we're still pretty excited to see what we're going to see here. It just means that I have now had all of that water. So it is time for a bathroom break and the presentation hasn't even started yet. So vodka. Water. It's 9am. Yeah, it's 9 in the morning, what's wrong with you? Nothing. You're feeling great, right? I'm flying high. I stream with this many people, don't they usually have to do like some sort of load balancing to make sure that they have the proper bandwidth? Well, probably. But I mean live stream. Well you just, oh hi. I was just discussing with my colleagues right here some of the intricacies of live streaming. Oh. Which I know you over at Linus Tech Tips. Oh yeah, I did some experience with. You mean the difficulties of live stream are what I have the most experience with. Yeah, I mean saying you're going to do live stream and then there'd be no live stream. I mean you're not familiar with that at all. It was an iPhone 5c review. I guess you kind of owed me one at this point. All right, all right. I gotta stop saying these type of things if I really want to be in your video at all. Touche, sir. Touche. No, you're in the video that I uploaded that is sitting in my room uploading right now. Awesome. Yeah, it's the video that I took of you while you were repeat though, not the one that you're aware of. Don't worry, you look great. Music's off, baby, we're starting. I better run back to my phone. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome corporate vice president global communications for AMD. I'm on time. John Taylor. Exciting. I hope you guys are tuned in live because I'm not going to videotape this whole thing since there's a live stream. Good morning. Aloha to those of you here with us. All right. So if you guys have never seen me fangirl out before then it's definitely about to happen on a new level here. So behind me right there is Chris Roberts, the mind behind Wing Commander, freelancer and the upcoming Star Citizen, which you guys have probably heard me talk about a fair bit. I pre-ordered my Constellation ship, which was 250 bucks, which is definitely more than I've spent on all other games combined in about the last five years. So that's how stoked I am on this. So I'm just kind of waiting for an opportunity to jump in here and shake his hand, which is about all I'm going for. I can see Charlie over there is going for the business card, which I guess I could sort of use as well. I wonder if that'll work. I just wanted to say hi. Hi. Here, can you get this on video? Sure. I watch your tech tips occasionally on YouTube. Really? Yeah, yeah. I'm trying to figure out what the best cooler is. There you go. Well, I appreciate that. Thank you very much. We're definitely fangirling out as much as we ever have. What I said a minute ago that you probably didn't hear was I pledged 250 bucks to Star Citizen, which is more than I've spent on every other game combined in my entire library in probably the last five years. Well, thank you, because you're letting us make the game without having any publisher or VC or anyone. That's actually what I tell everyone. It's a really cool thing to develop a game and not worry about anything but making the best game, not worrying about pleasing the marketing department. The only thing we worry about is the people who are going to play the game. So it's cool. Very excited. Just checked out the Hangar module and we're actually going to be publishing a video very shortly. We know it's totally irrelevant, but we're taking a bunch of graphics cards, we're throwing them at the Hangar module, we're doing some benchmarks, we're kind of going, okay, how hard is this going to push it? And it's pushing it pretty hard, which is so exciting. It's just not very optimized at the moment. We don't do any LODs. I wasn't joking when I was saying there was 18 million polys because we haven't got any LODs. So the Constellation is a million and a half, the Freelance is a million and three, even the small ones are 300,000 and then you've got that big environment. We found some fantastic ones where your guy cuts in half and stuff like that. It's totally not there yet, but it's so exciting to be able to see it. No, it's awesome. I'm enjoying the process of people playing and checking out and then you actually sort of see feedback. It's like a great feedback link. So it's like in my old days when I used to make games, I'd have a team and a lot of times I'd be like, okay, we're going to do this or this. I'd open it up for debate just because I'd like to have a discussion and then it helped me make my mind up on what I was going to do. So that's kind of what I view having 250,000 backers. You just have a much bigger debate pool. Except, I mean, the key difference between a backer giving you feedback and an employee giving you feedback is you pay the employees. Whereas they pay you. I can't fire you if you say it sucks. Exactly, which is both terrifying and extremely exciting. No, it's fine. You know what? I actually, and I've said this before when we've done, like I'll be on the forums or whatever, is I don't mind people having negative ampers, as long as you're constructive in doing it because it shows investment. So you really care. People care. They don't like something like, oh, I want this to be fixed because they care. It's not because they're just being a troll or something. It's just because they sort it away and they want to change. Sometimes they have valid points. Well, they put their money up front. So I mean, it's one of those things where no one's going to pay money just to go troll someone. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no. So no, I think our community is great. Would you take a photo with Chris for our fans? Yeah, sure. Sure. Absolutely. Yeah. Sure. Do you want to go? Time to keep you company, Linus. So I, no, no, no, because I can never be embarrassed about sitting by myself at an empty table ever again because I introduced myself to Chris Roberts, the Star Citizen guy standing over there. I was going to say. And he knew who I was already, which was like, he like watches my videos. I was just like, how have you changed my parents? Okay. Like, so were you like the first person to invest in the Star Citizen? Do you want me to hold that for you, Linus? Pretty early. No, I got this. I can do this. There we go. So basically, I had Austin holding the camera and just kind of pointed because I was just like, oh, you can capture the moment when I meet him. But like, he was like, dude, the look on your face when he recognized you was like. Subtle. Very subtle. Get the hell out of here. He was like, dude, the look on your face when he like knew who you were was priceless. Like, I was blown away. Well, I saw you during most of the presentations, you know, like maybe jotting down a note or something. And then Star Citizen came up and I looked at you just like minus a point. It's like I was dropping my food and my forks and my tranks all over the place. It looks like a very exciting game. Did you ever play EVE? I didn't play EVE. No, I was not in naming at that time and it's a little late to jump into the EVE universe, I feel like. But I loved Freelancer, which was the last game he worked on. When I found out that that game was just like, the Seagull was dead on arrival, I was like devastated. So when I found out about this, I was just like, yeah, I'm going to need to, I bought a Constellation, which is a 250 dollar ship. So my plan is to have like a Linus Media Group crew for the ship. Space City? Yeah, because it's a four man ship. It's still like over a year out. Oh yeah. So I've been asked very nicely by Chris and the, I don't even, I'm sorry, I don't know what your actual company is called, I just know Robert Space Industries. Cloud Embirium. Okay. Sandy's head of marketing. Okay, so I've been asked to finish building the PC for the head of marketing of Cloud Imperium. So apparently- She needs some expert advice. I do, I need expert advice and it needs to be faster than that of Chris Roberts. And that, I, I, we've already been through this. That is going to be extremely challenging because he has a great PC that he actually built himself and you guys can check out the blog post. I, where was that posted? It was, if you search for Chris Roberts personal rig, I think- See, do you like my motherboard? Yeah, you'll find it. Do I like the motherboard? Okay, so you've got a Crosshair V Formula Z. Okay, yeah, that's about as good as it gets for an AMD. I haven't seen this ID on their memory before, so I've only seen the older spreader that doesn't have the sort of textured look on the side here. What else, what you got in here? So this is their 9590. So once again, that is about as high end as it gets for an AMD CPU, so that's a 5 GHz 8 core. What else you got in here? What have you got, Chris? Well, I've got a 8 GHz chip in here. Yeah, I was going to say, I think that's about to get awkward because- Yeah. I'm going to overclock mine, is that what I need to do? To get it faster? I got a 3960 or a 3960. I got my, I get a Crosshair. Now my understanding is there was a bit of a misconfiguration with the machine. There was, there was, we had a 110, what did we have yesterday? We had a 110. I think you guys had a 280mm cooler or something like that. There's no mounting points in this particular case for that. And it didn't fit. Can I help you move that? Here, let me turn this off. A bit of a thing going on here where we can't find the motherboard screws for the system that I'm supposed to be helping build for- Cloud and fearing games. Yeah, so that's, that's tricky. No, no, they're definitely not under the board. Oh no, no. I would have thought of that. I was looking for where they're supposed to be. But what we do have is the graphics card that's going to be going in this system which is about as exciting as any screw could possibly be. There we go. So we can get actually a pretty good look at it here. So we've got what looks like a metal unisync that's probably covering presumably memory and VRM and going to help dissipate a little bit of heat. You can see it actually wraps around the back here. AMD's done their usual thing where they kind of have a very small penis extension on the PCB so the card is a little bit longer than it otherwise would be but not to nearly the same degree as what Nvidia's done with the last couple generations of graphics cards where they've got like these weird like things that seem to be designed to make them not fit in cases. Really neat idea on the front of it. These actually illuminate so I've seen a couple of them running so far so that's a really cool look for it. Here on the back we've got display port HDMI and this is an interesting thing so I don't know if this was in the embargo session or not the embargo session because they didn't talk about it at all but you can see there's no analog pins on these DVI connectors so these are not capable of being adapted with a DVI adapter it actually physically won't fit and the signaling is not there so. We're ready to go again. Oh apparently we found the screws did we? These are the motherboard screws but first you need to put the liquid cooling on. That's only 8 these came with the liquid cooler you can tell because they're color coded. Okay then let's keep searching. I mean they might fit it depends if they have a coarse or a fine threading on them. They fit I already know. Oh okay. Yes. Okay well we could use them and then we could figure out another way to mount the cooler but that wouldn't help us mount the SSD we still won't be able to oh these could work for the SSD. Okay what else do we have? Okay why don't we see how far we get here.
