hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here with asked me so this is a series that I started doing a couple years ago and then kind of stopped but I'm bringing it back and the idea is really simple I reached out on Twitter Facebook and Google+ and I asked everyone hey ask me a question I might answer in a video so yeah I already know but it will be a common question so why is your channel duncan 3 through 303 if your name is Austin so yeah this is definitely the most common question I get all the time basically to put it really simply when I was about 10 11 or so my friend and I first started getting on the Internet as I'm sure a lot of you guys know especially back then very few people actually use the real name so it was always like some kind of alias certain you know well you always came up with some kind of cool internet name and so Duncan was mine and I used it for awhile and it slowly after time started turning into Duncan 3 3 3 o 3 cents you know the name Duncan happened to be taken in a few places on the internet and so yeah it's pretty much how it all started when I created my youtube channel back in 2007 I had absolutely no idea that I was actually gonna make videos it was just some way for me to you know subscribe to people like videos comment all that kind of stuff but when I did start making videos back in 2009 I already had a channel so I'm like okay I'll throw him up there really didn't think anything of it and after I posted a few videos and I had like 50 subscribers I was like wait a minute I really should you know change the name come up with something better I'm like well I have 50 subscribers I mean I had clearly never even get any more than that I'm not going to throw all these away yeah not really a great decision what camera and lens do you use as far as the camera goes I use a Nikon d600 this is what I've pretty much film all of my videos with as well as a 24 to 120 millimeter f/4 lens which is a fantastic piece of glass so this is my baby I absolutely love this camera works really really well and I love it a lot I might also use a Sennheiser wireless mic and my hand is glowing that's cool and I also use a lilliput monitor so when I'm filming I can say hey guys and you'll actually see if I'm in shot and focus all that kind of fun stuff what do you do with all the computers you build and test this is a great question because I don't think a lot of people know I actually do build all the computers and I do test them all before I recommend them so the way I do it to avoid having to spend like $5,000 on computer parts every month is I will say buy whatever parts on efore a specific build I'll put it together test it make sure everything is good and then when I'm done I will take all the parts back apart and then just keep them for future builds so instead of having 50 computer sitting around that I don't really need and just collecting dust instead I would just take the parts you know back apart and then when I'm doing a new build I will say okay I can use this power supply I can use this motherboard whatever and then I will build the next build and when I'm done with it I'll tear it down and that's pretty much how I do it what performance improvements do you think we will see with the next-gen consoles and how do the parts stack up to a high end PC since this is the Internet of course there's tons and tons of misinformation about how powerful the ps4 as well as the next Xbox will be now of course we don't have all the information on the Xbox but what from what I'm hearing it will be slightly less powerful than the PlayStation 4 but regardless these are both going to be about mid-range pcs so at least on the PlayStation 4 side which we do have some specs for it will be roughly equivalent to something like a Radeon 7850 as far as on the graphics side and it does have of course an 8 core processor now there are eight fairly weak cores but considering that there are eight of them you know all stack together they should be pretty powerful now one of the most important things especially with the PlayStation 4 is that it has 8 gigabytes of gddr5 memory now this is very fast memory and it will be serving both the graphics side as well as the CPU side so all the tech jargon aside with 8 gigabytes of memory available this should I should be really impressive for lots of very very high resolution textures for big open maps and missions and levels because there's so much memory to work with there's a lot of really cool things that developers can do so just purely speaking from a spec standpoint I would say the PlayStation 4 is probably roughly equivalent to a 6 to $750 gaming PC however there are definitely other things just besides the pure specs they could absolutely make it quite a bit more powerful than you would expect what is your current everyday cell phone for a while I was using the note 2 however I recently just switched back over to the Galaxy s3 so the main reason I did this was because I wanted to try out the s3 and kind of remember how it was and kind of get back used to it because the s4 as well as the HTC One are coming out soon so want to have a little bit of a benchmark to see how good or bad of an upgrade either those phones might be can you do a video editing PC build I might be working on something like that so there you guys go of course if you have any questions deaf be sure to drop them in the comments below and who knows you might just be in the next episode of ask me if you're interested in more feel free to check out my last video where we went over a $750 gaming PC bill if you enjoyed definitely be sure to leave this video a thumbs up and if you're interested in more like this be sure to subscribe anyway guys I will catch you next time
