Scrapyard Wars Episode 1c

[han_han08]

haha voted for linus!! just because i thought he can get away with cheating at something.lol

 

that 290 by luke could've been a game winner, though!!!

[grave corp]

of course luke had to lose or he would had to look for a new job

[bruhklen]

Hey LTT I noticed you guys have a bit of a cardboard build up, not sure if you've got a system for that, but i live out in Abbotsford I use tons of scrap cardboard to make myself crossbow targets I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands if you're having trouble getting rid of it all

[LyrickCZE]

Hey guys,

 

could I please get the settings and resolution used for the 3DMark?

I would love to try it on my current PC and my new one that Im by coincidence expecting tomorrow.

 

Thank you for your time.

Luke would've taken it if he had overclocked his CPU. I don't know why he didn't. The e8400 overclocks really well and that 290 was seriously bottlenecked. 

[xc3ll]

Hey,

 

epic video! It was really entertaining, even if Luke got wrecked.

Not that I'm against Linus, but man, I was sure that Lukes System was the better one...

Thought this was brilliant and brought me back to the early days of PC building, where the reason I fell in love with PC DIY was the building and experimenting and coming up with great configurations on my limited teenage budget!

 

Well done to the entire LMG crew for pulling this one off, exactly why I subscribe and contribute.

[AlwaysFlexin]

Awesome series LMG. Every minute put into the series was worth it for the viewers, we all REALLY enjoyed this one!

[Fi4Bngr]

fantastic series fellas! that was great content. totally forgot how big ide cables were. 

[GregButcher]

Very cool series, i already cant wait for the next.

 

It's nice to see that "old" hardware is still more than capable of anything we can throw at it. For around 300$ this is a no brainer compared to something new, provided you can find the components, but as far as my 2nd hand shopping experiences, you can get anything if you're patient enough.

Love the scrapyard wars idea and the new TV style format, it's a really terrific idea and I hope you guys do much more of it in the future.

 

Quick bit of critical feedback: I found it hard to follow along week by week without forgetting almost everything that happened in the previous week's episode. Personally, my viewing experience would be improved if there were better "previously on series XYZ" segments as well as callbacks to previous episodes (both visually and through narration). When this is done right on commercial TV, the whole previous episode from the week before comes flooding back. In this case, I found it a little hard to follow along. For example, when Linus started this episode by ghetto mounting a fan on the aftermarket cooler, I had no idea of the context of what was going on. I had completely forgotten that Linus had a slightly dodgy aftermarket cooler with no included fan and was like "wtf is going on, what is he doing?" - I had to go back and flick through 1b to get the right context. This would have been a perfect opportunity to do a flashback to where Linus had the parts he bought on the back of his car and was talking about the cooler.

 

Also you guys need to strike the right balance between authenticity (recording what people actually say), and saying the right canned lines/descriptions/commentaries for the audience's sake.

 

Again though, I love this direction you guys are going in, it's awesome and I can't wait to see more. Just please avoid falling in to the trap of having more than one or two episodic series going at once again   .

[Gumi Rokkaku]

That was an awesome video series guys. Probably my favorite. I thought for sure that r9290 would take the game.
I like the whole "Linus vs Luke" thing. Challenges are always entertaining (Still waiting on the Nick vs Nick thing). My only suggestion would be to add more puns.
Edit: Also, having a final build list for each system in the final episode somewhere would have been nice.

[Nexxus]

nvm

[pk-man]

great series, although that corsair ad which appeared out of nowhere near the end kind of ruined it for me.  Please don't have ads interrupt like that. 

 

Please scrap that "1abc" naming scheme because all kidding aside, it does sound silly.  I know you are planning to do more episodes, but I think it's better to just use "parts 1,2,3....."

You can have the challenge be the title of each episode, so for example this one will be "Scrapyard Wars: The $300 Challenge Part 1" etc...

 

Also, the beginning of each episode, besides the first one, should begin with a quick 1 min or so recap of what has happened so far.  It makes it easier for viewers to catch up considering this is a weekly series.

[Stefken89]

Really good series, you really hit the mark with the concept. Very entertaining with an epic conclusion + valuable lesson.

 

Can't wait for all the new stuff you guys will be bringing the coming year(s).

 

Remarks:

- if you are spreading out the episodes a week apart (which I don't really mind, as long as they come consistenly, like these did), a short recap would be nice :-) Makes it better to follow along without having to scrub trough the last episodes again before watching the new one.

- The ad integration could be better. A little less sudden and with a warning would be appreciated.

- the parts-numbering: episode 1 part 1 sounds better to me...

 

Keep it up guys, great work!

[Juggernautilus]

Linus only won because of the orange cable.

[Diceair]

lol what did we all say about cpu.... people must feel bad for thinking cpu plays no part in tomb raider

[Zeke]

I really wanna see Scrapyard wars with brand restrictions. For example, if you're going with AMD CPU you have to get AMD/Radeon GPU as well. Or maybe all the components need to be from a specified set of vendors.

[MrRavens]

Didn't watch it yet. The hype is real! *clicks play*

[david cassar]

Q6600 master race

[iSuzak]

Great series !

[Diceair]

Should've tested bf4 with mantle. I would love to see if the e8400 work a bit better.

[SilentPenguin93]

Best Video Ever!!! Well Done guys, I love it. Please make more but with stupid requirements cardboard tower

[peanutsrevenge]

dang. I did not think the Q6600 would see that advantage in games over an E8400 (even @ stock).  Guess games have become more multi-threaded in recent years finally then.
Would always take the Quad over the Dual though for an actual day-to-day machine for multitasking reasons.

How Linus didn't know the sound of a stock AMD R9 blower though ... all of the respect points go sailing out the window.

 

Fun series. Thnx for sharing

[delanyinspiron6400]

Man, where do I have to start with compliments...

 

Loved the format, I also like it, when there is something to look out for, so I really don't mind, if there is one week in between!

The musical choice was superb, sure I love classical music, but it fit the theme sooooo well, I really enjoyed it alot!

 

This was maybe the funniest and most entertaining video I've ever seen from you guys, loved it!
