    Chronical93 reacted to LinusTech in I think LTT makes up a majority of Vessel views...   
    IT's late and I'm both hungry and tired from shooting Scrapyard Wars (which by the way is an LTT series and will be airing ad-supported on YouTube very soon for your viewing pleasure).
     
    But there are a few points to address and you've already been patient enough.
     
    I said LMG content would always be free. This was poor wording on my part. There has always been content produced by me and my team that was not necessarily available on a free platform like YouTube.
     
    These "The Boost" videos that we make on contract as a sales training resource for Intel, for example:
     
     
     
    In much the same way, Vessel has contracted LMG the production company to create an original series for their platform. They bankrolled the whole thing, giving us an opportunity to make something that otherwise would have been too costly, and per the licensing agreement they own the right to exploit this content. It's their show until such time as they decide it's not anymore.
     
    We played more of a "production company" role in this than we're accustomed to.
     
    This could, and SHOULD have been communicated better, and for that I'm sorry. The community should have heard about this from us FIRST, and not from a random email newsletter, but I've been (and so has the whole team) absolutely busting ass to not only get Nerd Sports produced, but also make sure that we're keeping up with everything else that we've got going on including not having missed a single day of LTT uploads for something like 5 years..
     
    With that said, quantity isn't everything, and I've noticed that not everyone has appreciated the LTT content as much as usual lately, but it's hard for me to tell if that's because they don't like our new direction (fewer reviews, and more exploratory or experimental videos) or if they just saw a video or two they didn't like and raised hell in the comment section - it wouldn't be the first time.. And I will say, too, that honestly if a couple of the videos felt rushed then it's probably because they were.. HOWEVER, the primary reason for the rushed videos was  the entire week we're taking off this week to film Scrapyard Wars Season 4, which will be premiering on Vessel sometime in the next few weeks or so, followed by a release on YouTube 1 week later, which is the standard agreement for OUR content that is paid for by LMG or our sponsors.
     
    Nerd Sports was shot 40% during evenings and weekends with employees taking time in lieu later on when we hire some more staff or when things slow down a little. We were careful to avoid disrupting any of our other commitments because imo you guys deserve the best we can deliver.
     
    Which is another point that was brought up in this thread - "How will LMG keep its commitment to maintain the pace and quality of the other content if they're making Nerd Sports or other contractual content?"
     
    We couldn't. We're hiring.
     
    I've never shied away from investing in more staff or better equipment or a better facility to make sure that we're doing our best for ourselves, each other, our sponsors and our viewers. If we play our cards right, absolutely everyone wins.
     
    Nerd Sports has been a fantastic learning experience for us, and whether we continue the series with Vessel, create other completely different web series in the future, or just say "fudge it" and flip burgers from now on, we'll be able to do those things better than we could have without having done this.
     
    So bottom line is this. I screwed up the way I communicated "LMG content", which was meant to be content funded BY Linus Media Group rather than content funded entirely by and licensed to a 3rd party, and I screwed up in a MUCH bigger way the LACK of communication about this project. Sorry guys.

    Chronical93 reacted to Derpologist in Video card cooler swap   
    I'm not the best with crossfire settings, but why dont you use the Direct CU as your main, but use the reference to connect your display(s)
     
    If not, just buy the necessary adapters. Switching the cooler would be extremely difficult. I think the DirectCU has a custom pcb, if it doesnt have the same connections as the reference cards. Just get the needed adapters, if you absolutely want to. Honestly switching the coolers technically would make such a little difference, it wouldnt be noticeable. 
     
    Oh, and please dont work on that carpet. Dont want to static shock one or both of those cards, that would suck

    I highly recommend you get a better PSU fairly soon btw.

    As for the build, I'd get a full-atx motherboard with 4 ram slots and 2x4GB RAM kit along with it, also throwing in a cheap 120GB SSD is mandatory if you want to have a better experience with your PC

    Oh god please not another fan war or a flame war. Make it stop , PLEASE !!
    Cant we just agree one's and for all that games got us into gaming ?!? It does not really matter on what console or machine your playing the game , As long as you enjoy  the game , other machines that the game is available on should not concern you.
    And sense im on a ranting spree , I agree with I HATE EVERYTHING ( a YouTuber FYI ) , He said : '' Gamers are self entitled pricks who shun others or beneath them for there chose. '''

    Chronical93 reacted to Master Disaster in Google entering the VR Space with Project Tango   
    After Google Cardboard it seems as though Google might be looking to enter the proper VR Market with a new product.
    Project Tango is speculated to be entering the market as a middle ground between Vive & Rift though I should make it clear, these are just assumptions at this time.
    It seems as though Google is taking a different approach with cameras on the headset actually mapping out space and objects (including other people also wearing the headsets) into the VR world allowing wearers to interact with each other, in real time and seamlessly in both the VR world and real world.
    Google have also created an entire VR department in the company
    The article is way to long and in depth for me to quote it all so I will stop there, for the whole story you can click here
     
    I gotta admit, I personally dont see VR going anywhere yet, I just don't think PCs are ready for it neither are the current soultions suitable for home users. I mean sure, it will be a huge thing in certain areas (like training for example) but in the home, nope.
     
    Watching these videos and reading what Google is trying to achieve here however is making me change my mind, I could see this working as a solution to the current restraints of VR at home, those being space and cabling restrictions.

    I don't know of any omni antennas that would do 25km and you are aware you would have to bring a second antenna with you that is directional and most likely on a mast so the signal goes over the buildings around you.

    Chronical93 got a reaction from Pickelhaube in PhysX - CPU or GPU?   
    I know on my Pc, If I dedicate it to the CPU with V-sync on I get 30fps max, but If I dedicate It to my GPU I get 60fps. Note tho I'm running on a bit of a dated laptop. So I would say GPU.

    Hi guys!

    My precious gpu died about 5 months ago. I was pretty devastated as a collage student there was no other option than to use my integrated graphics. 
    I was doing okay with it since although I could not play with most of games I like.
    Today I was inspired and quite suprised at the same time while watching the resurrection vlog.
    Decided to give it a go.
    And holy f. sht. it worked. I can not express how glad I am to follow you guys on the WLAN shows and on Youtube.
    I gave up on my card ages ago and even tho its a ~6 years old card with not mutch of a value, the fact that I was able to resurrect it for some time is unbelievable.
    Thank you for all your work and holy moly thank you for this video.

    The CPU does not produce any more heat once the PC is turned off, so everything just slowly cools down
