Why the Kitchen Set Matters

As a result of realizing that the kitchen set will not exist after the move to the new location, I created an account on the forums to express my opinions about why the set matters so much to some people.

 

  1. Unique — The kitchen set provides a unique atmosphere around the videos that LTT produces, and really creates a special feel to the videos that nobody else has managed to produce.
  2. Homebrew — One of the key features of such a "home" setting that the kitchen set provides is a true sense of the homebrew spirit.  Building computers and showcasing hardware to a homebrew audience in a homebrew setting just makes sense.
  3. Quality — The kitchen set appears to be extremely well designed, and looks fantastic on camera.  The depth of field of the set behind the host amplifies the sense of quality.

I'm sure there are more qualities that I've glossed over or simply missed.  I'd love to hear other opinions if anyone has them.

Hah, I've gotten used to it, but wouldn't mind something a little more clean and professional looking.

 

Though it has become 'iconic' in a way.

Yea I totally thought it was spam....  Thoroughly disappointed 

 

But totally agree with the points.

Is it just me or is Grammar slowly becoming extinct on LTT?

I actually agree very strongly. A huge factor in high quality videos is the setting. For example, look at MKBHD and Linus' videos. Although both are in different settings (dorm room vs kitchen), they both have high quality because of the well designed setting and field of depth. Althought I really like the kitchen setting, if Linus has plans for a new setting then maybe we will like it more so I won't say anything until we see the new set.

Maybe by changing the set to something thats not a kitchen will stop all the kitchen advertising spam??? :D

No, he's not trying to sell us kitchen sets :P

I don't know... He has only 1 post. Plus, we have received spam about kitchens. Plus, it's a bit lengthy.

I agree; the set is very iconic and represents the style of LTT very closely.

 

As for the posts about this being spam:  what??

Oh!  Yeah, I don't sell kitchen sets; I'm simply just expressing my opinion because the fantastic kitchen set was a huge design factor that kept me interested in LTT at first.  It was a great value-add to my experience.

Save the Kitchen Set!

 

its one of those unique things that defines what a LTT video is when i watch them on you tube! 

 

i realize its not possible to "save it" entirely but it is cool and iconic and unique.

I'd like to see a set with a background wall of Motherboards. Just random ass motherboards all over it, with a random ass kitchen sink sticking out of the middle.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

The kitchen has sort of become a LTT mark and to be honest I generally prefer it to some sort of clinically clean and 'un-homely' room like the NCIX one when he worked for them. What ever you replace it with I just hope it comes with the same sort of 'homely' atmosphere.

The kitchen is iconic for LTT. But if they want to try something new. I tough that maybe back wall with ram on it would be nice. So that the wall contain all type's and style ram's. So there would be like DDR, DDR2,DDR3 etc and then they be organized after the brand name. :D

Failure is not an option!
