Would it kill them...

[Okjoek]

to start the WAN show regularly? Like honestly I think they're the worst I watch when it comes to this and they're actually a decent sized company so I don't get what the excuse is for always being over half an hour to an hour or more late. Like it's not even something like an innocent 15 to 20 minutes late. Sorry for the rant, I was just kinda bored this evening and thought the WAN show would cheer me up.

Technical Difficulties I guess, though I can't see why if they just leave the same setup there 24/7 and nobody touches it. (Unless they're using parts of it for other stuff during the week..)

It's not like Linus has 3 kids to do shows on a whim or anything.

It's not like they're at all busy or anything...

They recently upgraded and cable managed, and made the systems more stable. They just aren't good at timing different projects, they'll be recording for a video and realize it's time for the show and then they need to set everything up and finally start. At this point, with all the upgrades, and how they've stabilized everything, they should be able to start it regularly. I'm arguing for and against them, I can understand why they might be late, but there are a couple things that they can't make excuses for.

I don't think it would matter since not only do I not watch the WAN show, so I don't care, but you can also get a full video on YouTube when it's done to watch pretty much whenever. Also, I agree with @tmcclelland455 and @Mooshi, it's not like they don't have other stuff to do.

With that many people?

More people = more ability to crank videos out

 

Also gotta consider the fact that some people don't actually work on the videos and probably people that work part-time...

There are people that are editors, sales people, not every single person makes video in the company. Linus and Luke are the main people in the videos, so they will almost always be busy, but they should make like a 15-30 min block before WAN show to set up.

If they are too busy to do it properly perhaps they should reconsider doing it altogether? Wasn't Linus really into looking "professional?" having a live show that never has a specific starting time is quite the opposite of it.

You'd think a tech company could stream their fucking show reliably

Such is Linus.

So? You've been at this for years and you can't have other people take care of projects and actually make time to start your once a week show on time?

 

C'mon.

Yeah, it's rather unfortunate. I've done a handful of live streams in the past and never have had issues like they do, though I'm also not using some janky ass setup for everything.

That's no excuse. The least you can do is be punctual if you're running a company.

One thing is to be a relaxed pop-like host, another thing is be unreliable and disrespectful about the commitment he makes to his watchers, if he does goofy stuff on screen that's cool... as long as that goofiness is happening on specified time otherwise he's really being nonprofessional and from the size LMG already got I do think they are aiming to be professionals.

[Okjoek]

A decent show tonight, I'm satisfied. I gotta say though I usually disagree withwhat Linus was saying because I love cheap entry level hardware. 

 

Awesome Hardware and L1 news is still better IMO though.

I don't know, I personally like RandomGaminginHD better than when LTT reviews hardware that 0,1% of the audience is actually willing to pay for but that's just me.

 

Obviously LTT's content is far richer than just that regardless.

Oh ofcourse he's a great channel, I was just talking about the really long streams and programs. I like to watch them as I do tedious chores.

[TheGleaner]

Maybe to get the show started in time they need to hire a dedicated person (professional IT, with a background of streaming setups) even if said person was part-time. (Part joke) 

 

They sometimes say it's a hardware related issue, but I call bs, as they have showcased alot of  free/ already aquired hardware that would be capable.

 

But then again, being late seems like it's a tradition.

Linus does not plan. Plus a big no no in the film industry is eating on camera and showing your back.
