If we did a similar poll here, wouldn't it be bias?

To be fair, it's only slightly worse than Tiny Tom Logan Back With Another Video For You :P

 

But he's got that accent.

 

Everybody knows an accent makes any statement 10x more professional. :P

Personally for me,these are the only 2 best hardware reviewers that really know their sh*t.

Linus and slick(it's a bundle) and JayzTwoCents.

 

On the other hand,

Austin is... *sigh* *smh*

Did you clicked on yourself 24 times just to get that picture?

Well I made a macro... But yes.

Now that I think about it, it would probably have been quicker to just photoshop it.

Really? Even such a broad Essex accent? If you insist :P

Nobody voted for Austin... 

 

 

Why do you suppose that is?

 

New text alert? I was actually hoping that would be the intro to every (or a lot) vid where he does that hahaha

Weird thing is I don't notice TTL's accent because I'm from a similar part of the UK. :P

 
and also...

what does he do? :P I like their live shows a lot more though, because it isn't "live" and they can edit it a bit and it's better rehearsed

 

He comes across as a bit thick and the amount of times they go off on one about someone being evil (argh). I remember recently Linus and Him covered the same topic in their shows and the amount of extra scaremongering in The Tek was too much. I've just stopped watching their videos now unless it's one of Wendell's reviews because he's interesting.
