how did you find linus and his channel/forum?

Swndlr

Last October I was on YouTube looking for reviews on a cheap-ass computer case I was considering to buy. Linus had the best review, I bought the case and here we are 9 months later.

For me personally, I think the better question would be how did I find NCIX channel, because after subscribing to NCIX I liked Linus and his style and found he had his own channel etc. However, I cannot for the life of me, remember how I found NCIX on youtube.

I was bored and randomly searching youtube for pc case modding & tech stuff so I run into some of his NCIX videos. I clicked, got hooked & have been following ever since.

 

It was long before Slick & LMG, long before live shows. In the good old days when we occasionally even got glorious cat videos :P

I was searching for  HD 5770 unboxing or overview or even a review of it

but i think i watched one of his videos even before that from a link in an Indonesian forum when i asked around, the video was when he was still awkward in front of the camera, lol

I came across him through the suggested videos bit in youtube. I only started watching after seeing the WAN show episode where TTL was a guest.

Fast as possible, actually. I was trying to prove to my friend that I could I knew what overclocking was, so I looked online to try and find something about it, skip a few days in the future...  we realised that he didn't have a overclockable processor, so that went out the window. Anyway, this was the original video that I saw.

The way I discovered anything to do with Linus was a friend of mine showed me a video claiming that i would "Think that this guy is really cute!" seeing how a lot of my friends like to tease me about my sexuality.

To be fair he was right. >.> And i also appreciated the concise presentation of knowledge and information.
