Austin Evans house burning down... =(

[mikeangeles 75]

At least he's okay. His 29" screen doe...

[flibberdipper]

Nothing on Twitter as of yet

 

Darn. I'm really curious as to what caused it. If anybody finds out, fire me a PM.

That 20 000 - 30 000 dollar tech is gonna be peanuts compared to his entire house.

RIP Oculus.

If insurance doesn't cover it I wonder if it would be possible for the PC hardware communities on youtube (Hardware Canucks, Linus, TekSyndicate, etc.) To make a 48 hour live stream where each youtube channel takes a shift and plays some games. If done correctly I'm sure that the community can raise a couple grand to help him. 

Hell, I promise to donate 20 dollars myself if this is done.

The money made from the stream could go to giving him some money to cover rent for a month or two, some new clothes/food, and possibly some lower-end studio equipment that he can use to make videos to get some revnue to get back on his feet. If I were you guys I would go and watch some of his older videos, I'm sure the ad revenue would greatly help him right now.

Cursed reference 290X....

Jokes aside, I'm glad nobody got hurt and I hope he has insurance.

Some of you guys are just assholes you know? "Hopefully he'll start making videos soon" Like seriously? This man is fucking devastated. His fucking HOME with all his memories, family pictures, EVERYTHING is gone. Stop being fucking selfish and put yourself in his shoes. All his computers disintegrated, all the review items, all his cell phones, his cameras, all his tech is now gone. He doesn't even have clothes anymore and you're worrying about fucking videos? I'd be a little bit more worried about where he's going to stay or how he's going to make a list of everything lost in the fire in order to recover some money from the insurance company. I'd be a little more worried about his health right now. This is his home we're talking about that's now gone. His home was worth a bare minimum of half a million and now that's gone. Imagine the trauma he just had that his house was full of smoke and fire and he had to rush to get out to save his life and those in the house. Please stop being selfish assholes and worry about more important things. This isn't directed to everyone, but only to the people who said that "Hopefully he'll start to make videos soon". Sorry if this was a little too harsh but that really fucking pissed me off.

He will probably make a video on his ipad that he saved, telling people that watch his channel what happened.

I planned on having an 'Austin Evens' Marathon once I finish my video for the 2014 Set up Tour that MKBHD is doing.

However the sooner he makes videos the sooner he's back on his feet and has readjusted... The people who are only worried about all the tech lost are the ones who piss me off. 

[PillowSmoke]

That really sucks.

Good on you man! Does Austin have a donation link anywhere? Even if the LTT community had a whole bunch of smaller streams we'd probably be able to rack up at least a small bit of cash for a camera/microphone for him to use. He posted on twitter that he saved his safe and mac book so he will most likely be able to use the mac book to edit if need be, we just need to connect the missing links.

Do you really think he doesn't have friends who would borrow him some stuff for the moment?

I don't believe so. 

 

He may not even accept donations, the best you could do is watch his old videos. 

[Birdman]

No doubt MKBHD would send him some stuff. 

[Nineshadow]

He has lots of friends in the Youtube community.That's no doubt.

[Birdman]

Shit Linus would send him stuff. I know they're really close. 

[Caironc]

I guess Linus has found a use for that Canon XA20

I'm an asshole for laughing at that

I get it, I was just saying that he will probably make a video on his ipad...

I don't even watch his channel...

Oh, but why, dear @Mentalguy?

Your current user .gif described my face when I read that perfectly.

I just don't like his voice...

[Lachrymal]

The amusing, but likely posts of everyone guessing his tech setup was the culprit. Watch it be something like an unswept fire chimney or someone left a chicken in the oven.

 

Shits crazy. This will make him a little stronger in the end no less.

[Maslofski]

shit happens, awesome that everyone is safe
