Popular streamer guy xQc has a problem with him gaming and streaming PC, so I'm hopping on a plane (and stopping by Microcenter) to help him troubleshoot.

Do all toxic manchildren get house call tech support from Linus, or only ones with a big enough following to generate crossover views? 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

Interesting in light of the recent video about Ming Cards... ie. recycling cuz we need to be nice to our planet.

 

But not each other 🙂

True, but I'd like to think we could set out sights higher.

You'd think a huge streamer would make their place/office/studio look nicer than a college dorm room.

 

Know your audience, I guess?

 

I mean I'm not trying to shame or anything, but all he's missing is the Bob Marley poster, dining hall cafeteria trays, and stolen traffic cone...

I sold my soul for ProSupport.

i mean if you had to move houses every month or so because of doxxing and stream 16hours a day you would probably give up on decorating after like 4th house

Yah he moves around a ton from what I've heard as @mstxy said, just has an amazon list with everything needed ordered and dropped off at a new place in advance which covers everything. Linus mentioned it on the last WAN show.

Fair enough!

 

I'd probably burn out in a week if I tried streaming like the big league streamers. No idea how they do it!

What was the 'liveleak' comments. missed what that's referencing.

it was just a reference to like whenever a streamers irl home location is leaked, and bad things can happen.

looking back at the VOD, i am amazed at the 6 hours of watching all this happen live turned into a cool 26 minute video! 😄 (13mins for me since i watch on 2x speed.)

I do kind of hope they don't do too much of this type of content, not really entertaining like the usual LTT video.

 

Also, is it just me, or is it as if xqc says words very quickly and then leaves normal length intervals in between them?

Friend from my old college (transferred to a new one in Montreal) stole about 200 traffic cones at once one time and put em in another friend’s garage. Never got caught.

Is the live footage still available on xQc's channel?

So just an FYI, LMG is a company, and they are trying to grow. You don't grow but working with small streamers. Don't care for XQC, but he's not a bad pick, and his audience was already introduced to Linus, so it definitely makes sense.
