I've only been following the computer game for a year or so. I know pretty much everything I need to know about modern hardware. (Like this if i'm not the only one)
So I would really love "the history of ... as fast as possible" videos. This could be very interesting, especially if you add a so what can we expect for the coming years of this.
 
Examples for the history of:
Sata PCIe Sockets (maybe AMD vs INTEL) DDR Graphic cards

I would prefer to see more video's on the toy's than games(sorry Slick). There are so many channels which air game walkthroughs/reviews, but I don't know of many channels which make videos about guns that launch salt at insects. If two video's were to pop up on my suggested video's one being Linus's insect salt blaster and another Slicks Trine 2 video I would click on linus's video first. Don't get me wrong but, I would still like to see a combo chanel. 
 
LOL the cops though........ GO RCMP​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
 
I'M TOTALLY DOWN FOR MORE CAT VIDEOS! 
 
When was that? Anyone wanna tell me at what time it's at? 

Which one specifically ?

Engadget got there hands on a prototype steam machine:

The picture i'm most interested in: ;p

 
I really think this could be big for PC gaming. But still I don't see me buying one... what do you think ?
 
Config of this machine:
GPU:       GTX780
mobo:     Asrock Z87E-ITX
CPU:       Intel I7
Storage:  2.5" HDD
 
Reactions:
+Bring console gamers to PC
+Nice and small
-Very rough design
-With this config, expensive.
-Only room for one SSD/HDD (maybe mini PCIe SSD?)

What!? I totally laughed on the face of anyone that shared that phonebloks video! Now I have to apologize!?

I totally agree with the fact that TTL didn't stop bitching, I couldn't watch it through (His rushkid video was beter though). But if I had to buy a $600 card now I would still pick a 780, cause looks are a factor for me. And since the rumor is that there won't be aftermarket coolers until december maybe even 2014... that's a pretty long time to wait considering we've been waiting for a while now... I do hope if we all shout loud enough that amd will allow after market coolers faster. And I'm really, really, reeeaaally curious for watercooling OC performance. Should be pretty amazing.

play smooth jazz in the hyperloop
 
that should fix all our issues

faster than 780, slower than titan, well that's a squeeze :p

"The box has a built in PSU that EVGA claims is enough for a GTX 780 and otherwise normal gaming configurations"

The Dell U2713HM is a direct competitor to the Asus one above. Some say it has better color accuracy. Dell's online store has it on sale for $549 (in Canada) but today's the last day. I just picked one up my self.

This is a good one:

Getting these kind of monitors under $500 is pretty hard right now... If it's not urgent I would say wait a couple of months, the pixel race is happening so they might get cheaper fast.

after reading that article I couldn't help but flame the OP, why the article was half about his shitty Macbook is beyond me.

SPONSOR MESSAGE (please read)

HTC has been making massive waves with their HTC One Android smartphone, and while unfortunately we are not able to bring you any HTC Ones in this giveaway, the available options are absolutely rockin'. My wife has been using a DROID DNA for quite a while now, and with its S4 Pro processor and gorgeous 1080p screen it is a head-turner in spite of, or perhaps BECAUSE of the fact that most people don't recognize exactly what phone it is, particularly here in Canada.
 
TLDR: HUGE thanks to HTC for making this giveaway possible. You guys freakin' rock and the support you're showing for our brand new community is overwhelming!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
PHONE GIVEAWAY RULES & REGULATIONS 
 
Guys, this is one of the biggest giveaways we've ever done. HTC is making it all possible by providing us with not one, not two, not three, not four... Oh wait actually four.
 

 
FOUR phones to give away!! ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.....
 
Not only that, but you get to PICK your prize! Read on for more details.
 
This is a Linus Tech Tips giveaway, so I'm keeping it "unofficial" and opening it up to the world. With that said HTC is going to cover helping me ship TWO of the phone globally, while the other two will only be shipped to the USA only. We will draw four winners and in a case where more than 2 winners are outside of the USA will we re-draw.
 
Now for the really cool part. You actually get to PICK the phone you want from the list of available phones! With that said, the phones available in the different regions vary a little bit.
 
 
Prizes: 4 HTC smartphones with a "pick your prize" approach!
 
USA winners can pick between the following: 
 
DROID DNA
HTC 8X
HTC One S
HTC EVO 4G LTE
HTC One X+
 
International winners can pick between the following:
 
HTC One X+
HTC 8X
HTC 8S
