Hi this is Dennis, I am a professional shopper, of course I didn't go over the budget!

Is it an exclusive if the clip will be in the final video? I'm not entirely sure, but no one else will see an unedited version like this so I *guess* portions of it will be exclusive. Also lots of things were once exclusive but now can be found everywhere, like toilets. In the 1850s only the wealthy had toilets. The US only passed 50% crapper adoption in 1940, but now everyone has a personal porcelain throne. What once was exclusive now is ubiquitous. Since Steam games need to finish downloading before I can resume testing, lets talk about the thunder can a bit longer. Contrary to popular belief the toilet was not invented by Sir Thomas Crapper, instead that honor goes to the Scottish mechanic Alexander Cumming in 1775. He designed the S-Trap Vortex Flushing Toilet we still use today, which is pretty great because the shape of the S-trap toilet creates a seal of water, preventing foul smells for the sewer entering your home and also creating a vacuum effect to suck all of your waste

You've seen him here, but now actually meet the delightful David! In his natural habitat the camera and ingest den.

This week on Meet the Team. He's a maker, he's magnificent. It's cool Colin. Heads up - the air compressor kicks in at the end of the clip, headphone users beware! -CW Also the audio desyncs - we are investigating -CW

I get lost easily, this office is a maze. Someone send help I am trapped in logistics. This tour is brought to you by spatial awareness.

Finally we get to fully meet the Spectacular Sarah!!! Note: The squeaking you may hear is not a mouse, someone *cough cough* wore squeaky shoes

Meet the wonderful styling and charming Chase!!!!! Always remember to charge your batteries : 0

We had a bunch of bonus footage from the making-of Desk PC that didn't make the LTT cut - so here's a little exclusive with a mini shop tour of Colin's shop featuring the drone wall and... woodpile?

Tech wiz, pickle connoisseur, and a maker of things. Meet the authentic Alex!

Hoffmann had some leftovers that he wanted to share.

It's fast, it's fun, but it isn't very detailed. Here's a quick overview of the shop. It's still a work in progress with lots of projects going on but it's pretty interesting to look at.

We put together an extended directors cut of Tech Show & Tell - Part 1 just for you Floatplane folks!

A Floatplane Exclusive? On Friday?! You know what that means! We're going to miss some FP uploads but we'll get back to our regularly scheduled programming real soon. In the meantime, Jono shows off our new SC set! Mark and I give you a taste of our new rooms. I know this one is a bit different from our usual style but I hope you enjoy it all the same. Have a good weekend! -EY

Upgrades on upgrades. Some wonderful extra footage from the Jackery ultimate van tech video

Some tidbits left over or maybe re-used, I don't remember. But anyway, here's a thing from Hoffmann! Let him know if you like it. -EY

Cool dude, awesome writer, and an Apple enthusiast. Meet the jovial Jonathan. The writer and host for our new channel Mac Address

Nicole's servin' up a extra bit of footage for ya'll!

I think I might have written this one and was listening to Portal or Portal 2 dialogue tracks. At the very least, I wrote the copy for the graphics that was definitely inspired by Portal...

This video's from 2013!! Does anyone remember when Pop-Up Video existed? They had these little fun facts pop-up in bubbles for music videos. Well, I thought I'd do that to give some fun facts for this video that you might not have ever watched seeing as how the video only has few thousand views. Anyway, attached is the video and then video with pop-up comments!

So I had my newer editors give some old videos a watch to give their take on it. Kind of a, "This is what the company, that you now work for, used to do." I feel like I have to do a response video their criticisms as I had a lot to do with some of those videos and they were just merciless about it. Also, this whole video is out of focus - shot and edited by Hoffmann. On an unrelated note, I have 3 editor positions opening soon. -EY

This one's coming at ya from Hoffmann - featuring Jonathan Horst and Andy talking behind the camera.

Do you want more of the behind the scenes of what our employees have to say? Well look no further than this video. Get the behind the scenes thoughts on our video making process.

Another killer feature from Hoffmann "The Hitman" Wong!

Everyone loves technology!

Heads up! Today's LTT is delayed to tomorrow. In the meantime, entertain yourselves with some Mac Address!

As it turns out, when you put free Red Bull in the fridge, we'll drink it. NOW WE'RE HOOKED.

Welcome to the BTS clip compilation series. We hope you enjoy your stay.

UH OH what are you hiding in your history?!

Courtesy of Nicole - cutting room floor footage! Also, the Steam Deck video is still processing and will be up as soon as it's finished. Sorry! Hoffmann finished the video this morning after starting on it as soon as I had gotten back into the country (last night) with the footage. -EY

Extra footage courtesy of Marcus! Who's Marcus? Watch the other video to find out, sort of! -EY

15 minutes about volumetric capture with some industry experts, heck yeah. -Alex

These are excerpts from the chat with customer service to highlight my copy+pasting the same messages to 4 different agents. There were around 10 messages from me that weren't copy paste; they were about confirming my account, them not seeing the license under my account because they were looking at the wrong account, and then something about a discount instead of cancelling (which was wrong). -EY

Do you have an HDR monitor/TV/phone? We're going to try to get this out in the next week and we'll try to do it for videos that seem like they would benefit from the range that HDR can bring!

So here's the test run of the Bioluminescent PC shots in HDR. You'll have to DOWNLOAD the HDR version. I've also included a quick SDR grade to compare with. If you get the HDR version working on your end, maybe let me know: What display you're watching on What level of HDR the display is capable of Knowing these could help us in making decisions like, "Should we aim for 1000 nits if people only have HDR400 displays?" in which case your display would be doing some tone mapping and clipping to fit the range - and that might mean some weirdness going on, highlights clipping too much, and so on. -EY

I heard you guys like exclusives? This one's from Nicole.

Meet the marvelous, the wonderful, the really reallllly cool RILEY!

Have you ever wondered what LMG employees dress up as for Halloween? No? Well too bad! Happy spooky season to all you lovely people.

Get your microwave ready, got some leftovers for you to warm up! (That makes sense, right?)

After cutting up that meat, there are some scraps of meat that fell on the cutting room floor. Do you want a bite? Is the title and description really lame? Let us know! -EY

Welcome to the BTS clips from the previous couple of months!

You know how you build something and then you end up with a few extra pieces and you're all like, "...Well, I'm not taking this apart. I hope it stays together!" Sorry Asus x Noctua didn't get posted sooner, this is my way of saying, 'Please don't be mad." =( -EY

We decided it was time to make some ART with the handy dandy laser in the workshop. Attempting to fulfil Bell's biggest design dreams, we etched his PC case panel with his favorite things... It involves anime : 0

What is this? Well these are some clips from random moments at the office and on shoots.

Shenanigans ensue when your chair is so easy to unbox it only takes 5 minutes.

Are you a gamer? Then do some yoga!

Thanks to Intel for sponsoring the Extreme Tech Upgrade Series!

We ask a few of the staff here what their FIRST at home PC was!

We ask a few team members around the office what they hate and love about building PC's!

We messed up a custom etched side panel for Jacob, one of our contestants from this year's 2021 ROG Rig Reboot series, so we decided to try it again!

A little bit of behind the scenes of Bell, Emily, and James who took a trip to cover Nanosys!

Colton went around the office to find out what people at LMG like to game.
