    The best part was all the (unintentional) rapper references! Everytime Linus mentioned the Asus JZ, Slick was doing a good job biting down a smile and exercising restraint until the other two showed up.

    Thanks for all the feedback. I appreciate it.
     
    One thing I really want people who long for the good 'ol days to consider is this: Have I really changed, or have you changed?
     
    The timing of this post is particularly interesting since it comes RIGHT AFTER I uploaded not one, but two motherboard videos in just a few days... What is more "classic LTT" than a motherboard overview video? Yes, it's better shot, and I have a chance to gather my thoughts BEFORE the video rather than during it (scripting), but is it POSSIBLE that you just don't need to hear about every motherboard anymore since there just isn't really that much to say about them?
     
    The reasons you see me branching out are not due to a focus on money, but because I believe in the longer term it will be better for the audience. #1 is that I try not to say or do the same thing twice if I can avoid it. If that means that I don't unbox all three capacities of the same power supply the way that I used to, then so be it. #2 is that I let my own personal interests and projects guide the direction of the content because if I'm not actually passionate about it, you guys will clue in for sure and then this is all just pointless.
     
    I'm sorry to those folks that aren't as interested in headphones as I am, but the content will continue to be about the things I think are interesting, not just PC tech.
     
    Also some of the complaints here seem to be pure bandwagoning... The folks that are saying that *I* have sold out to ASUS because *Logan* made however many ASUS videos with JJ... Are you for real? CES coverage aside, I've made 5 ASUS product videos this calendar year. FIVE. If anything you guys should be hounding me about not adequately covering them given what a MASSIVE player they are in the PC space...
     
    And frankly many of the other criticisms are like that... Calling what we do a commercial compared to the older-style unboxings is laughable. GO WATCH THE OLD STUFF. I'M LITERALLY READING THE BOX ON CAMERA. I have no prior experience with the product. It is PURE commercial. Now go watch one of our recent reviews (bear in mind not everything we do is something I'd consider a review) like this one: 
     
    Not a commercial. Contains many comparisons to other products. Ends with a recommendation against the product in the video.
     
    As for us not going to Computex, quite frankly it's the viewer-base that spoke on this one. Last time I checked our Computex coverage last year got 1/2 as many views as our CES coverage, and cost our sponsors well over twice as much. You guys didn't care, so we aren't going this year.

    edit: one more thing. Don't take the fact that I'm presenting my arguments here as a dismissal or to mean that I don't care about the viewpoints of my viewers. I truly do. If I didn't care, I would just be like every other YouTuber and ignore your message. I want our videos to make every one of our viewers happy. It's just not always possible

    Megajoel reacted to helping in GTX 680 vs GTX 770   
    IIRC standard clock is somewhere around 1100 for 770, most 680's come in at low 1100's to 1000. this puppy peaks out at around ~1340, I could take it higher by raising the voltage lock on it.
     
    Mem is also 1Ghz faster out of factory, though I've raised mine an additional, so 2Ghz over a 680 stock. 
     
    The 770 is a wee bit better than a 680. If they're similarly priced, 770.

    Bengal cat names for a Bengal carrier. I thought it was fitting.

    Hi guys, just created a LTT account to join up. I've applied to join the organisation on the RSI site too!
     
    So I was thinking. Capturing a Vanduul Kingship is fun and good. But what if we also went exploring for derelict Bengal carriers?
     
    We could name them Rocket/Rumble.
