No one will believe that because we all know Brad is too lazy to even move.
I'm joking Brad, in case someone screenshots this message and sends it to you
Crap. They got me.
Jeff probably has the biggest vape rig in all of California. He keeps it in the back of his Lexus and leave a trail of vape fog in his wake. He's why SF is so foggy in the morning. Jeff Gerstmann: Fog Machine.
Oh cool. Maybe we will get less body horror emails with him gone.

Seems like the kind of game Jeff would review.
Also if they weren't at a huge company like CBS I bet hiring someone wouldn't take a fucking year, but it is what it is.
Jeff finished it off stream. I think they were still working on the cooler when it ended.

Finally getting around to the PS VR 5 hour stream. I love Dan but damn he's hard to watch in VR. He's so frantic.
The cooler was basically what kept them from finishing on stream. That and I think the "too many cooks in the kitchen" mentality with with Will Smith, Brad, Jeff, Rorie, chat, and Dan all helping with the build. Jason was really the only one to put in some good work and input.
Yeah, there were a number of reasons it took as long as it did. I tend to think people overstate how easy a PC build is, but they did themselves no favors by not checking youtube or even just searching for instructions on installing it.
To be fair though, a livestream is hardly the ideal setting for it, so I can understand why they wouldn't want to do that.

More than 2 people working on a PC is a mess.
I say this as someone who's built like a dozen PCs for people over the past 4-5 years.

Someone was selling it on the bst thread for $140
I was already signing into PayPal and the next post was like 2 minutes later quoting the guy that he's going to pm him

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I can't tell if the "Brad is leaving" meme has surpassed the "ironic" level and is now genuine again.
Dan is a walking body horror email though

Damn I didn't see someone PM'd him. I hit him up the day after.
I just ended up taking the L and buying one for 230 on Amazon. Someone was selling one on eBay for 200 though.

It was never genuine, anyone who makes that joke is hating themselves after they do it.

Brad is the reason Waypoint is shutting down prior to launch.
That means there'll be no excuse for him to not talk about all the disgusting things Dan is.

Finishing the VR spotlight episode and I have tears in my eyes from laughter. The Best Of video for last week is probably the funniest Best of Giant bomb video I've seen yet.
That's weird. When I check the PC threads here I often see people saying one person with no experience can easily put together a PC because the pieces just snap together like lego.
People definitely have a tendency to gloss over the difficulties that can occur, but for the most part if you're willing to use youtube to get help on the more difficult steps it is not that hard (though it can be time consuming).
They were trying to figure out how to assemble a more complicated than usual cooler with no instructions and without looking for help online so it was much more difficult than it needed to be.
Edit: Or you can pay like $50 to have the site assemble and test it for you. No reason for someone to build it if they don't feel comfortable doing it.

Plus that post where they announced specs had extensive benchmarks and settings for each tier of specs, it was kind of astounding.
No, it's not as easy as unboxing your PS4.
The only part of that build that looked challenging was the liquid cooler. It seems like if Jeff had used a conventional heatsink and fan they could have gotten the build done within the normal UPF timeframe.
I've never paid attention to liquid cooling because I've never really been into overclocking. So assembling, filling, and pressure testing a water cooling system seemed like an unnecessary hassle. But learning from the UPF build that they're now self-contained I'm interested in doing a liquid cooled PC _if_ it means less fan noise. I'd like to have a high performing gaming PC that's as silent as possible.
lmao

I had to get my local best buys Geek Squad to help me with that one

The challenging part of that particular cooler was just making it fit.

I moved from air cooling to two AIO water coolers for my build a couple months ago.
Fitting two 240mm rads into a Mid-Tower case is pretty tough. Took me a few times to find a good config that got me optimal temps.

That is my experience with those as well. Sometimes you have to bend those tubes in ways that make me wince. The liquid itself is supposedly non-conductive, so theoretically it wouldn't necessarily fry your system if it leaked.... in theory.

I agree. They need more tumblr questions.
