I remember the anti-rgb video and why it got so hated. The reason was that it was painted in conductive paint, so the motherboard or something shorted and the entire PC didn't work in the end, so it was 10+minutes to have a dud of a finale when they basically said "oh well it doesn't work. Goodbye!"
Ahaha right... :(
@@LinusTechTips We need rebuild.
scrolled down to say this lol, they killed all those expensive pc parts in the end, no wonder people didn't like it
@@LinusTechTips redo it please!
@@LinusTechTips You have Alex on staff now, and a team of product designers. Now you can do it!!! Especially since anti-RGB is basically a movement at this point
Y'know, it's getting to the point where the pizza heater may actually be somewhat viable now
It'd be amazing for them to revisit that idea with their new manufacturing skills
If 2 4090s in SLI can't do it, my base PS4 can 😒
if i scrolled i a little lower i would have seen this. great minds think alike. i even suggested cooking a pizza
Would love to see a redo with 2 4090 yes

Scrapyard wars will always remain one of my favourite series of videos you've done in the past.
Nah, Secret Shopper, those were the best
scrapyard wars but with only linus and luke or anthony
I remember binge watching all the series in like two to three days. Best series ever
same here, gave me the confidence to buy used parts and def saved me hundreds of dollars. At one point every single thing in my setup was 2nd hand. I felt like the techno king of mad max. I still use some of it to this day.
Scrapyard wars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍 Yes... I miss that
Linus: "What does building a theater in a storage locker have to do with wireless headphones?"
Sony: "We are still waiting for an answer"
It's actually ended up being quite fun, imagining someone packing so much tech into small spaces like that, even if it's just illogical to do
@@MuhammadKharismawan could be a nice theoretical application of how you could maximize the space in a small apartment or room or something
I actually liked that video
Connecting to the writer's mind: if your wife says no to your idea of theater in storage, guess what, you can have the same experience with wireless headphone in your room
It was a really fun video to watch though. Even if it was just because the idea is so absurd.
I'd think "Big Mistakes" should be the name of Linus's autobiography. And pages would be filled just with pictures of dropped items.
Paint by Numbers
Lol
With a picture with bob ross as the cover photo
And each copy is unique, dropped in a random orientation
@@Noah-lj2sg or one of those riddle books with lots of falling objects where the reader has to circle the product that was actually dropped by Linus
10:26 no i remember this. You were getting lit up in the comments for using a Titan & latest GTX GPU's (that at the time were hard to get and stupid expensive) as weights! To balance the motherboard on the box. People couldn't get over how out of touch it looked to use several grand in hardware as literally ballast :P
People get upset over the dumbest shit.
@@ConeJellos You should respect things. And it's literally just dislikes and comments. You're acting like they were sent to court or something.
Torque test the Ltt screwdriver and compare it to snap on etc.
@@ConeJellos It's all about perspective. At the time, those things were worth more than their weight in gold basically, so yeah, it would be something to see. I'd probably LIKE the video for that, not get salty, but I'm a rare individual.
@@kindlin I get that, espicially if you where never gonna be able to get that whopper kind of GPU in the first place.
I'm surprised the gold controller is seen as one of the worst. I really enjoyed the project, because it had that meme overlay of "lolgold" and a LOT of underlying cool tech, from how the casting process worked to all the finishes and stipulations on use and how to make it actually function. I guess I'm weird lmao
Yea why did people not like it, it was super interesting
@@oliverj.cheese6495 People liked it. It was cool, and performed well. But Linus needed it to go super viral to be worth it, which it didn't.
@@KeppyKep Ah, I see. It didn't catch the word of mouth it needed
People were pissed at Linus because of Yvonne's reaction. The comments were full of people telling him he should consult his wife before making dumb financial decisions, calling him a manchild,, gross opulence. Etc.
i never understood the hole point of the video.. caus there already was a originall chrome gold/silver xbox 360 controller on the market , even a good friend of mine had one of the gold version .
and i personally never was a big fan of xbox in generell =D
I haven't really noticed the increase in quality while watching over the years.. But when you go back a few years it's really apparent how far this channel has come. It's like looking at old yearbook photos.
You mean from back when I was still hot? ;)
High quality production, but the content is more fake. There is a reason Jake, Anthony and Alex are so popular, its because their content is generally more ad-hoc in appearance. Its not because Linus is clumsy (he is) or because he is old (he isn't). In terms of actionables I would say let your team screw up more on camera, and let them have a no-veto really stupid project per month.
@@engineeringvision9507 If they think people will watch it, I don't think they would veto a weird idea. It just has to be something people would actually watch. It is a business after all.
@@unvergebeneid awww... don't beat yourself up. I'm sure you've done more in the last decade than just get uglier...
Nawww that’s such a cute way to put it
Was kinda unexpected to see the Golden Controller video here.
It's one of my favorites, was very fun to see Yvonne and the whole team roasting Linus for his golden controller.
"What's heavier: a kilogram of gold or a kilogram of bad decisions?"
I was surprised as well. I thought it was a fun video.
It was on theme with the gold keyboard and mouse video bumped heavily to real gold. I am lost on what was bad?
@@anansilas6114 I'm pretty sure they're oofing over the facts that 2020-2021 was the height of the coronavirus pandemic and the rampant unemployment/beginnings of our current recession. Def a fun vid none the less tho.
I think it was just super expensive to make, and didn’t pay off in the end. Also some moving parts were made of gold which made some buttons not work correctly.
I loved the video when it came out. Probably one of the most interesting they ever made
@@jonahollstein this
Gotta love 3 LTT OGs taking a stroll down memory lane together. I confess, I don't typically watch 'react' stuff, but in this case I'm a sucker for the sentimental vibes. Well done guys!
I love how you can tell when Linus is about to talk about his sponsor, it makes me laugh every time he says something and you immediately know the next line is going to be “just like our sponsor” or something like that.
I actually liked the Gold controller saga. Yes it's cheesy, yes it was overly showoff-y, and yes watching people react negatively doesn't give you any positive vibes, but the engineering and manufacturing was very interesting, so was the BTS look with a goldsmith. So all in all, it was a very memorable series.
Honestly yeah! I thoroughly enjoyed learning from the goldsmith how everything worked and honestly looked forward to each new installment in the series!
@⚠️Don't visit my channel sod off, spammer.
Same! I really enjoyed it
The whole idea was so disgustingly tacky that I couldn't help but love it. And as you said, the manufactoring side was actually interesting.
Also really enjoyed the series.
It would of been cool to have another series
where they melt it down and make keycaps.

Oh man, this was a treasure to watch! Hilarious moments in here, especially loved the WD one, so so funny. But really shows how far Linus and his team have come after 10 years on CZcams. Been watching since the Langley house days and through it all, well done and keep up the great work.
Thanks for publicly confirming that Google never deletes anything.
This video ends in a very odd way. It feels like you're 1/3 of the way through a segment discussing the gold controller and why it was a mistake, but there's a sponsor ad and then the video just ends instead of returning to the gold controller discussion.
I think they probably did discuss it and ultimately decided to edit it out of the video because it may have disclosed too much financial or personal stuff.
@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep Possibly, but then why even keep it in the video? I didn't even think it was all that bad. They could have at least put up a title screen saying they redacted parts of the discussion if they really wanted to keep it.
Seems like this has happened a few times recently too? Video feels about half way through then suddenly cut to sponsor and video ends.
My thoughts exactly. Kinda funny that a video about past mistakes or weird videos is actually kinda weird at the end, and honestly this video felt too short and rushed. So much of the text was on screen for like a second, why? I have to hit the back button a bunch :( I liked the video, but thought there would be more.
@@Hopgop1 yeah, true
I'm sad the gold controller series didn't take off. I really, REALLY enjoyed it, especially how they had to work so hard to make a replica mold, with all the intricate details. Don't melt it down!
A museum somewhere needs that donation.
Would surprise me if it wasn't already melted down as we haven't seen it anywhere for a while
I agree, the Gold Controller is what made me finally sub to the channel after a few years of watching the occasional ltt video
meh, it was just cringy... big Money related videos have to be like if it wasnt nothing like mr. beast does. Doing it so "carefully" just was a pain to watch, specially under so much control. Handling 20 bucks of gold loss like it was the hole amount was just anoying. Like they made the employees handle the controller with gloves wtf, just cringe.
@@guillermomarturetfendt9037 cope
Bro the "bad" videos are all part of the charm haha it shows you're all real people and main thing is we see you're passionate and care about showing us cool tech stuff and helping us out
It really shows the growth the channel has gone through, great times. Love your content over the...wow, decade!
Gosh! This was an unexpected but fun trip down memory lane... I just realized I have been watching LTT almost daily for over 12 years now! the old videos may have been low budget and a fraction of the production value of what you do now, but they have a special place in my heart! It was fun because you guys were goofing off and having fun with the video so many times!
Indeed it was
Same
Honestly, the "Luke eating in every shot" bit is HILARIOUS
Linus & gang, I am glad you made this video because it shows that you are all human and running a tech company like yours isn’t always so warm and fuzzy…but also shows a lot of your talents and creativity….look at you now. It’s made you stronger and better at what you do. I love watching your content and learn something new everyday!
10:48 that didn't age well
I can only speak for myself, but the reason people watched those videos was that they just felt way more human. A few tech nerd friends making videos about tech stuff. The growing pains and the cringe was just part of the experience. It was endearing. Also, it encouraged me to research/investigate/think more about certain topic/products/brands.
Also, surprised Pikachu face at nerds getting angry about nerd stuff 🤣 that has never happened in history ever.
I agree with you. I personally don't much care about the entirely scripted videos. Call me old fashioned but I prefer the chaos of the old videos.
There's definitely a charm to the older content, you see it a lot in places like personal websites. Less "corporate-y" stuff
When I saw the old behind the scenes video all I could think was how much everyone had grown up with each other. It’s just sweet to be honest, a bunch of nerds who probably never could have imagined where this would have gone
@@_Doskii I really despise modern CZcams polishing, I get that these are actual brands and they need to amp up the quality but nothing beets 2007-2012 CZcams, it was chaotic and it was amazing
Also, just imagine the variety available, as in, there wasn't much. I imagine LTT was still one of the best online at the time for general tech stuff, tho I'll have to keep imaging as I really didn't tech much back then.
*"Why are you in sweatpants? They leave nothing to the imagination"* That's gotta be one of the most out of leftfield yet completely normal thing for linus to say
19:54 "This is our most disliked video this year"
Me looking at the "CZcams SHOULD charge for 4K. Hear me out." video with more than 30k dislikes... So they aren't gonna go back on that one, huh...
Ah man, I LOVED the Tech Showdown videos, and really wanted them to continue. I (as with everyone) was a big fan of Scrapyard Wars, and Tech Showdown was a nice alternative for that. I'm sad that it apparently wasn't popular. I love the "showdown" format when you do them, and hope to see more in the future :)
Honestly, the dynamic of you three together is just so much fun. You can tell how much time you've all spent together grueling through this entire adventure together.
Just awesome to see the trio together in front of the camera.

This video is like celebrating with college friends, getting drunk, and reminiscing about all the weird shit y'all have done in the past.
As someone who only started following LTT a few years ago, Luke's charisma gains from these old videos to now is astounding
17:48
Ah yes, channeling his inner Lightning McQueen: KA-CHOW!
From Luke's "I gave myself a haircut without a mirror look" to "everyone is broke and probably unemployed, lets gold plate something" id say honestly these are minor youtube crimes at best haha the fact you can do this kind of retrospect amd see a meaningful difference says a lot. Not many creators have lasted so long, succeeded to such a degree, let alone experienced such meaningful growth, and its obvious LTT is a real family, Linus will be a hilarious grandpa CEO someday, can't wait to see it!
It was SOLID gold. Not even plating lol
That controller was made of solid gold, if I remember right it was made of something like $100k worth of gold at the time.
@@Perceivedshift Yeah! I saw that video as well. IIRC it was a just before covid hit. His wife kept looking at him like she was deciding how and when to murderize him. He wanted to keep it, she wanted to sell it.
Yea this shit is saint-like compared to the shitshow that is OTK's situation.
Luke's laugh is contagious, and Linus' attempt at a Boston or New York accent is tremendously hilarious! I like these videos where you reflect on the past experiences, the good and maybe not so good, but it all leads and builds to where you are today. Great video, great channel!
I can't bring myself to hate the "Linus can't act" section
Loved the video and was great to look back on all the years as a long-time viewer! I was confused on the 2022 most disliked, since the CZcams 4K Premium video had a far greater amount of dislikes in the past year.
Perfect timing!
fr lmao
It's incredible how badly the gold controller was received. I really thought it was going to be the next big viral thing and people were going to rip it off and do it to everything while watching it unfold. It was so incredible and interesting to watch.
I still really like the idea. Would love a whole gold Xbox.
I personally enjoyed the videos but I can see why the timing may not have been the best
It was a great project with great videos. Got no idea either?
'
Might have to do with the fact that gold is often seen as tacky in modern culture. I only ever see poor people who are trying to pretend to be rich buying gold and gold-colored things. A gold controller *reeks* of poor taste.
@@seanonraet8327 What did you feel was off about the timing?
Genuinely asking / I'm not trying to defend the video
2018 doesn't seem like that long ago, in my mind those videos were like we have from LTT now, but man it's a real difference. I still think a watershed moment was Linus in the rain in Shanghai talking about the Intel X299 platform. It seemed like the moment LTT declared they weren't afraid to call out the big boys. You all look like you've really grown into yourselves. I love this channel and the people behind it, and I enjoy when you have genuine honest moments like this one talking about sponsors and how your dealings have changed.
@Lurch Ah yes, AMD and Intel worth hundreds of BILLIONS, and LTT, that huge CZcams channel worth Billions... get a grip.
@@lurch1539
Big boys in what capacity? Largest tech channel on YT? Perhaps, but there are alot of other big ones like MKBHD. LTT is big, but they are not Intel, Apple, or Google. Cut the melodramatic crap, there are no villains here. Just an independent private company with humans working that make mistakes like everyone else.
That was a great video. I don't even remember what all the issues with the platform were, but I remember that video, and how it kinda gave me chills.
@@AthanImmortal Just under a billion, it turns out. Linus recently revealed on WAN Show that there was a 9-figure offer he turned down last year.
@@itskdog 100 million is literally an order of magnitude lower than a billion lol
Come a long way. But it’s great to see the improvement in every one of you guys. Keep it up LMG.
Loved seeing these again. The pizza case was and still is, one of my favourite LTT videos
I want a WAY longer cut of them talking about these mistakes. Like what about the gold controller was so bad? Just cause a video doesn't go viral doesn't seem like it wasn't a bad thing. And, what happened to it after all this time? I want answers like this across the board on these things. Like the three monitor laptop grift - Did linus invest in it?
Yh that video seemed ok to me and for the controller, I think linus has it and said he wanted someone to buy it because it was expensive to make.
because he spent basically 100k for it to be made, and only had average income from it. so financially it was a huge mistake. id be suprised if he sold it at cost, but im sure he sold it (at least i hope so) by now
The laptop grift used video from various youtuber as "seal of approval". Gold controller probably have bad ROI from it.
If they were going to do a longer version it'd be floatplane only.
Yep if it doesn’t make them money, it’s “bad”. They just shut down their movie review channel. I probably oversimplified - and I do understand. It makes sense when this is the goal of ‘LMG Group’. You have to be profitable haha.
I remember a shocking amount of these but also didn't realise the issues often because, well, I was a lot younger.
It's a lot of fun watching this channel and I'll definitely be staying for more.
The gold controller was cool by the way. Very stupid, but I liked it.
14:12 , That has to be the best click bait and the worst click bait of all time on youtube
great painful reactions.
would be a probably horrible but still somewhat interesting idea if some of these past videos were revisited and redone or tried again to see how the years of change would affect how the videos/ideas were made.
It’s always very humbling to look back in the past to see how far you’ve come. In LTT’s case seeing you guys grow from LMG to LTT was great. From a suburbs house to a complete office will forever be one of the greatest moments I was glad to be a part of albeit it, not directly.
This was a wholesome read. Thank you for sharing.
Agreed. Except they grew into LMG (the company) from LTT (the main, flagship channel).
@@happinessiskey2858 is that so? I could’ve sworn they dropped LMG but thanks for correcting me!
@@PriscentSnow Yes, Linus Media Group Incorporated is the company that owns all of the channels; LTT, ShortCircuit, TechQuickie, LMG Clips, Mac Address, They’re Just Movies, and Channel Super Fun.
LTT is just the abbreviation for the ‘Linus Tech Tips’ channel which is the oldest, most popular channel in their company.
It’s a common misconception, so you’re definitely not alone in that thinking. It confused me in the earlier days of LMG, too, but then I figured out the difference between the two. You’re most welcome!
I dont feel that any of this is worth being upset or feeling bad about. It is growing pains, learning experiences, and a good group of friends doing what they love. Phenomenal job guys.
this, 100%. All this learning & growing pains is one of the reasons i watched. You can see there a group of good friends doing what they love.
True
Su
This video also shows how much they have grown as content creators, tech enthusiasts and presenters. And how much more relaxed they are in their videos. Videos are much more
"realistic" and feel way less scripted than before, even 'tho they still are scripted.
Time for a part 2!
Love to see an OG trio like this
Linus, Luke and Brandon all on screen at the same time reminiscing about the good old days. 🥰
@@user-ui9ni4nf5z Reported for spamming.
or rather the bad old days lol
I actually really enjoyed and loved the gold xbox controller video. Getting to see how gold is worked on and why a tradesperson would take different approaches to different parts was really enjoyable. The fact that it was in LTT style and just silly (and tech-ish) made it even more easy to watch.
Same. They definitely picked a terrible time to release that video though
Ditto. Not my favorite video by any means but was surprised to see it so porrly received
@@tiffanyaa What did you think was bad about the timing?

@@pkennethv wasnt it covid time ?
@@manuelmunguia616 I think so. But I wanted to know specifically what @tiffanytheflowerprincess2601 was alluding to, because COVID times can also mean a lot of people were at home watching CZcams (more views).
Or was it the "financially insensitive" angle being alluded to? Or something else all together?
It's really awesome how you guys got better in 10 years. Love u since 2014! Keep that up
I love that you guys can go back and make fun of yourselves. I haven’t been a fan of the page that long but I can tell you love what you do!
Luke has really got more comfortable, and much better in front of the camera. It is really impressive seeing how far you guys have improved in terms of presentation and production value.
And from the looks of it, Luke has lost quite a bit of weight!
As a long time viewer (probably Langley days but I used a lot of NCIX vids to build my first computer) I gotta say I think I stuck around because the passion. Sure the channel is more pop than hard details but it appeals to me just fine. The early days made me feel like a friend who was being shared a cool tech toy that you just got. Linus and the team's passion is what drives this channel and LMG knows that. It's why Brandon's and Anthony's videos are so beloved in the comments. Not to mention the other great host's. Back in the day that passion was still there. Video production quality be damned. If Alex wants to show me (the audience) his crazy idea with using some unconventional material, recorded on his laptop camera I will probably watch it! Hell even the new guy showing us his coffee 'ritual' was bang on why this channel does so well. Doesn't matter the subject. If you show passion, the audience will connect. It's probably why sponsor spots & videos get so much hate too.
Agreed. I don't watch everything they put out (between all their channels, its a lot), and while not all of it interests me, i do still watch things i wouldnt otherwise, simply because i like the team and the channel. I get that a lot of the stuff they put out is just to meet their quota, to use a sponsorship, to generate some revenue, so honestly, its arguable that the majority of the videos they do wont be bangers, its just filler, but the bangers they do have are the best. Like the house project, the Intel Extreme upgrade or the production facility visits (or at least thats what i enjoy the most). i guess if anything, they put out enough content that im sure theres almost always something someone is excited to watch.
I miss stuff like pizza heating PCs, or sketchy heatsinks. Those videos are a lot of fun.
that fun stuff and feeling like youre a part of it while learning something is why im still here. dunno when I got here exactly but I remember watching these guys atleast from all the way back when the gtx980ti came out and was a sick gpu
@@michal_king478 I've been subbed basically since he launched but didn't really follow until the last year or so honestly. I remember watching him at NCIX. Followed a few different channels back when I was building my first PC.
Either they show real passion or they are good at faking it. No, I know they're passionate, but you cannot be genuinely exited in every video if you make videos all the time. Some acting is required. But their passion also shows from how much effort they put into most if not every video, in research et cetera.
According to this 2015 was a very bad year for ltt videos and that is exactly around when I fell in love with this channel!
Me too. I built my first pc in 2014 and shortly after started seeking out nerdy hardware channels like LTT, Jayztwocents, Pauls Hardware etc.
@@jasonb6570 goled times!
I can't believe tech-showdown didn't do well, I loved those videos! The fact that they were terrible at arts and crafts just added to the charm!
The premade sponsor spots are probably my least favourite part of LTT these days. I liked when the sponsor spot was part of the shoot and you could tell they were reading it off the prompter there and then. The cut away to pre-recorded just feels off most of the time. It used to actually be a segue into them delivering the spot instead of just saying the line and the tone never remotely matching between the cuts. I guess it makes things easier from a production point of view, but as a watcher, it just feels disconnected every single time.
Can't believe I'm saying this but you're right. The segues nowadays feel a lot more jarring despite being more well-made.
Yep extremely jarring plus the condescending smile every time of “yes we know how annoying this ad is, thanks for the view & making us more money :) “
@@KHudso To be clear, I have no issue with the sponsor spots themselves. I get why they exist, and good on LMG for trying to make them at least fun and interesting. Sometimes it's even something I might be interested in, if it's not a US & Canada only thing.
My issue is only with the current method of delivery. The smarmy line with the cut to pre-recorded spots that never mesh with the delivery of the video to that point. It's jarring and feels so much more disingenuous then the former method of doing it as part of the video.
I don't begrudge a company trying to make sure the money keeps rolling in. A company that doesn't ain't going to last long. It's all about the chintzy feeling nature of the delivery these days.
@@tyrannicpuppy absolutely I agree and see your point. They need sponsors to keep the channel going and pay their employees. I just find the segments jarring like you do and very irritating
I actually really loved Scrapyard wars, it was actually a really enjoyable series and I would always wait for every single video of it to come out in anticipation for it.
@@Theunicorn2012 I actually really loved Scrapyard wars, it was actually a really enjoyable series and I would always wait for every single video of it to come out in anticipation for it.

Regarding the amount if tires with the boat. Traditional commercial fishing docks uses tires attached on the dock as a soft surface for boats. So its actually a nice touch that they did that in my opinion.
2:56
The cut-off on Luke's laugh man, so good.
I really enjoyed the solid gold controller series of videos- the intersection of tech with metallurgy and jewelry process was really neat to see.
The fact that the three of you have been making these videos together for so long, and still get along as well as you do, is actually quite awesome and special. I've been watchin this whole decade... a f'n decade! haha 🍻 Here's to another 10 years!
You know, the funny thing is it is a lot of the videos that they are roasting where they were just doing random stupid stuff was what kind of hooked me...because it reminded me of all the stupid crap me and my friends would do, plus tech news. Just good fun-I am actually sometimes a bit saddened at how professional they have gotten. Isn't that lame? I'm fussing because they have gotten better at their jobs!
The reason I was so mad about the Anti-RGB PC video back in the day wasn't the spray-painted mobo; I was convinced you were going to coat it with something like Vantablack.
I just love Luke, and their bro relationship, his laugh give me hope for a better world
Kudos to you guys for putting yourselves out there like that! Also Ed improved massively in the last videos he hosted
Kudos to the editor who put together that drop compilation
There's endless drop compilations on CZcams, believe it or not - at least an hour of drops from 2020-2022.
Hell at least an entire server of LTT has to be dedicated to records of Linus drops.
I mean, they were hardly devoid of clips to choose from lol.
@@Newtination I'm not even going to look it up, i believe you just on your word.
I've been with this channel for 7/8 years, _i know enough lol._
17:35 I died :D
a great video, supper funny, full of thinks of his time and a lot of lost media i have never thought it exist. Thanks for sharing such material, and full fill with all the experience along all the time on making videos.
Congrats on the 10 years linus, best tech channel on CZcams, much love ❤ here’s to another 10 years 🎉
Don’t you mean 14 years?
@@xdkfpjacob he said 10 years being an independent company
Linus is one of the only CZcamsrs I watch that regularly looks back on his past mistakes and reflects.
Agreed - the only thing I feel like was never addressed was the Oura Ring 'review' on short circuit. Otherwise, there quite transparent so I continue to watch almost everything + merch.
Oura:
They left it with saying 'we pronounced it wrong and they didn't like that'..
1. He's said it tons on WAN etc with no pushback, if it was that important they would have said so in their contract.
2. All the comments were very negative because of the terrible subscription+ device costs and therefore bad optics for Oura, which leads me to believe..
3. it was down voted SO HARD that it wasn't going to be good for metrics anyways so LTT wasn't against a scapegoat to pull it.
and does them again......
Except for him not wanting to issue a written warranty for his items. He never reflected on that one.
@@Artificial.Unintelligence Surely if that was the case, Oura would have said something about LMG blaming them.
I'd love to watch more on these. Less for the cringe and more for hearing their thoughts and recanting experiences
As soon as I started to see clips of Linus drop stuff, I knew it was going to be a great video! :)
I'm sure Yvonne never doubted you'd succeed in life while you charged through those boxes.
Brandon is one of my favorites at LTT. Always glad to see him on this side of the camera.
16:39 “this is what desperation looks like” *cut to a sudden and violently deadly crash between two child toys on a play mat orchestrated by a grown man running a tech and hardware channel*
Linus read mean comments will always be my favorite.
The way he take it personnal, his soul shattering before our very eyes while his staff bust into hilarity, absolutely price less ;)
The fact Linus and Luke can laugh at themselves this long after these hideously bad videos...speaks volumes for their friendship.
Those trio (and a few others like Dennis) were the OG pioneers of LTT, their friendship actually runs pretty deep.

Linus:....but you won't, because if you did you get to experience-
My brain: *SPONSOR SEGWAY ALERT*
Linus: our reaction to our folly
My brain: Oh....
Linus: and you wouldn't get to experience this Segway-
My brain: Dang it, you got me there
I really loved tech showdown. Maybe if you could bring it back where you guys host other creators exclusively it could help your production schedule and be a potential source of collaboration.
I know its a long shot, but I enjoyed even the really awful builds. Videos like TS and scrapyard wars just made me really excited about PC building and highlights the creativity and fun in building custom PC's.
The “Linus Can’t Act” part had me dying😂 I thought it was supposed to be a parody of “Windy City Heat” the classic Chicago accent
Even the worst mistakes can make a good video.... sometimes not. Always awesome to see the ups and down 💜
The detective video is peak comedy, I have *no idea* what the issue is!
This is definitely an amazing jaunt down memory lane, even for relatively newer viewers like me!
Would love to see a colab video with Dawid does tech stuff... Funny, honest pc tech channel that definitely deserves a subscriber boost from colabing with you guys
Linus i know you read the comments, do more of these reacting to old videos and adding context. Its fun to watch
18:00 Nowadays you can probably bake the pizza on a 4090...
I remember a couple of those videos. Especially the really old ones made me eventually get into all this PC stuff. They were great. They still are great. All the way from NCIX to where you guys (we) are now... What a absolutely wild ride!

Oh boy I remember some of these! To be honest, to this day I still cant afford 95% of the stuff yall talk about. So I've always been here for the antics lol
This makes me appreciate for how long LTT has been a part of my life for. I appreciate you all for the efforts you make. Special shoutouts to Anthony, who is my favorite host.
Going to report "@Ella Soderstrom" for spamming...
Congrats on 10 years. I used to watch you guys before I had a CZcams account. Been like 8 years now. I am glad you are still bassicly yourself even after all these years.
Lmao right at the end of the montage of drops I accidentally dropped my phone and as it fell I could see Linus winge his face and I'm dying at how perfectly in sync it was 😂😂😂
You have real engineers. You have hardware. You have engineers. Give the people what they want, give us the pizza warm-keeper PC build
10:02 is a Jerma-tier Worst Noise moment
Congrats on 10 years. Always great to see Brandon and Luke on camera.
That noir one was absolute gold, every critisms you guys said you got for it missed the point i think it was hilarious
I love when long time you tubers do this. Donut media did the same thing a while back. So cool to see how everyone has improved
I honestly would love to see a dedicated video of old behind the scenes shots from the house. Seeing how far production quality has changed and just see how goofy everyone was back then is pretty wholesome
This is the content we always knew we've needed, but never really asked for. Thanks 😂
I love when a creator is actually willing to admit they have messed up once or twice.
Hey The Golden XBox controller is a reason why i even found you on youtube and subscribed in first place!
it was interesting enough to get my attention, then i started to watch other of your crazy projects like TablePC, cooled PC chair, And then started to watch your cooling PC videos like the one where you used Car radiator. After all of that i just legit started to watch every single video you made.
Golden xbox controller in my eyes was not a mistake and thanks to that experiment you made, i can now be here. Thank you golden xbox controller.
