New Office 2014 Campaign Video

[ELSknutson]

I want them to expand just as long as they don have that annoying eco like in NCIX tech tips building 

also if you watch some of there videos you can see they just do not have the space to put everything they have crap stacked in every corner of the house there in and no way to make a storage solution outside of getting another building.

Hey with more people and a bigger space you might even start seeing more videos per day or like an hour long videos with episodes from this

[Dubesta11]

I feel that if they are going to expand and make more money, they need more people, and more space. This will be really good for them, and I do hope they will set up some type of "fun" recording setup like their old kitchen. The white background ones are alright, but boring. 

[Imabigmac]

I'm all for the expansion ,but I do agree the filming zone still has to maintain that slightly unprofessional feel that the k provides. Perhaps a wall of boxes? Like the wan show had.

[Imabigmac]

Is PayPal the only payment method?

Wow that was awesome! I'm loving all the crazy stretch goals are on the campaign page, come on guys lets get 600K! Im donating 50$ as soon as my paycheck comes in!

If my math is right if 140,000 people donate at least 5$ we should hit 600k. That is roughly 12% of his sub base which I think is very doable.

While there is the temptation to do this, there may not necessarily be enough content to increase the LinusTechTips video schedule. They will need to spread it over more channels. TechQuickie, Superfun and maybe newer ones (as Linus suggested). This therefore means diversifying the content which may not be a popular move. This is the evolution of LTT though. I would argue this is their biggest change to date, way more than Linus taking it on full time. I am excited about it but it could all go down the shitter yet. I think Linus has the sense to not go too far though. If he does he will change the dynamics of the show altogether and they are too far engrained in their flippant behaviour that they currently display.

I got a question about the donation tiers. 

As of now, I'd only get a bronze or silver. But, by the end of this campaign, I would have more to donate. Is it possible to "upgrade" ones donation? For example, say I got the silver badge, but later I wanted to go for the gold badge. Is that 25 USD or 50 USD to move up? 

I mean if it doesn't "upgrade" , I'd probably wait until I can donate more at once. 

Thanks.

I don't think the system can handle upgrades at this time

Wow reading the Youtube comments on that video makes me sad. I can't help but wonder how many of those complaining are also the people that have adblock installed and still enabled on Youtube.

 

Also shocking to see how many people seem to mistake, "Hey if you've got any spare cash and would like to make a contribution, it could help us out a real lot" with, "GIVE US MONEY NOW OR WE'LL  NOT BE YOUR FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[MrCthuntoo]

Can we have community pilgrims to the new office, just like Valve what do with their fans?

[Shadow-R]

Terve!

Please do not get me wrong here, but I would really love to have some of the unprofessional stuff continuing on the new spot you get.

What I mean is that it is just more relaxing to watch a WAN Show where Slicks phone goes off, there is a Noctua cake in the middle of the show and the server room is a bathroom.

Or Slicks mom calls in to ask him about something in a game.

If I would love to watch perfected Videos, I could also watch ASUS official or something like this.

Hopefully, this stuff is not written too confusing.

Another thing I would love to know is: Why is Linus always shown as a "dominant idiot"?

Locking others into the garage, eating and throwing away the food of others. What's this all about?

Sayonara!

There should be a goal where the new server room is designed to look like/is a bathroom.

[LogicalDrm]

They have already changed so much of format that I only watch the not-so-official -style videos. But I'm still donating for new "studio". The WAN show is back on interesting and I spent lot of my free time on forums daily. That is enough of reason.

[Polyvalent]

Not all of what they do is to please you.  If you notice some of their projects include commercials or presentations for clients.  They have an actual business (a media group, imagine that) and they want to be successful doing what they love.

 

Also, congrats on moving into the new office guys.  Good luck and hopefully it works out well!

[PoloniumFist]

This is awesome. LTT will go far. The LTT hosted game and voice chat servers sound especially awesome. Dat bronze Gaben though.

 

Also

@Shadow-R

I know what you mean, I miss this most about LinusTechTips, things are tooo professional. I mean, I don't mind them reading off a script for reviews, but the campaign video would be better if it wasn't scripted, but that just my opinion.

But I'll still donate because i want them to get a new office and show it off and stuff.

[LogicalDrm]

[juretrn]

Why are you asking your audience for money?

Do the banks don't want to give you money? 

Or is is just that you would rather not get yourself an additional burden that credit is? (I totally get that)

I'm just curious...

[ThaChillera]

Love the campaign video & hilarious stretch goals.

 

Too bad that (as far as I know) you can't donate a custom amount, as a poor fellow i really can't afford 10 dollars but would love to donate 1$ in the spirit of "if every sub donated a dollar we'd make everything happen in notime"

[meatdeluxe]

Name drop video and gold badge =D thank god I didn't spend all my money on Christmas presents

[Bicketybam]

Donated...  but omg the bloody whiners in the youtube comments!!  Donate, don't donate, I'm sure they will survive with or without the wankers. 

 

The way I see it as an ex-smoker who wasted so much money on "smoke", sparing a few dollars for things like this is such an easy thing to do.  And if anyone decides this is the perfect time to unsubscribe or leave because of blah blah reasons...  no one else is going to care.  We bid you adieu and you should be happy in knowing that the rest of us will NEVER think of you again.

I got inspired by your comment and read a little bit of the comments for that particular video and all I can say that for some ppl the butthurt is real. Can't for the love of god remember what service/program/game/site it was but they offered a similar type of thing where the content/product was free and the end user was also offered a chance to pay any amount for the product. And no one batted an eye. But as soon as you get into social media and try to pull anything that resembles anything to crowdfunding... Thank god Linus and the crew handles haters better than TB (no 'fence, still love you <3).
