with Newegg TV we got to go to lunch with Brett Rosewill we had I was cool we had a lot of fun with the alt-tab show I've even got swag from this speaker sounds really good that's your really cool blue t to be here we had a lot of fun in the alt-tab show we figured we'd take this opportunity while we're sitting here together to do something we may not get to do for quite a while is do a Q&A with Jay and Jerry here in person so before we get up early in the morning tomorrow head on down to Anaheim for the MLG event where we hope to run into some fans and get some people we decided we'll go ahead and do a Twitter blitz of Q&A with Jay and Jerry and as we're gonna do right now we're gonna answer your questions I got really energetic there yeah we need it's like my second wave and I'm tired alright so Jerry once you go ahead and find the first question here and the if you guys want to go and see some of these questions that were asked the hashtag actually was hashtag ask Jamie and Jerry all right well let's start out with Jose Garcia and he says how much money is required to build a pretty good gaming PC Jay what are your thoughts on this a pretty good gaming PC pretty good I would say that magic dollar figure two we break into very good would be $1,000 I would agree $1,000 seems like about a place where you can build a competent machine they could play most modern games and everything's time to play everything the best it's not gonna play a cutting edge but it should be able to play everything yeah and you could buy a PC for cheaper but it's not gonna last years long in the future so I think $1000 is that sweet spot agreed all right our next question is from ian savage and he says barnacle e's are you ever going to do a draw my life video like Jays two cents David question yeah in the honest truth is yes I do plan to do a draw my life video it's just a really involved video type from what I've seen I'm still trying to figure out how to do it and find the right time to do alright the next question is from Alex he says any suggestion for a new youtuber that's odd question it's a broad question but we can just get straight into the point with it any suggestion for a new you - uh quite honestly only do it because you like it you have to look this is it this is a labor of love don't do it for the money because money yeah quick yeah what you're getting money for this alright our next question is from James Bartlett and he says gaming has come a long way in such a short time where do you see it in five to ten years J go on this one yep I think people are gonna start making that move towards VR virtual reality I agree the oculus rift was a pretty cool technical demo and I think with the right high resolution screen that thing could be a complete game-changer all right our next question comes from Andrew Evans he says when and how did you guys meet is he related to Austin I was just thinking that maybe it's really Austin Evans in disguise it might be hey guy and drew Austin alright so I can start off with this one all right so the cool thing was J was actually a larger channel than me when I first met him a friend of mine told me about him he had thank you for saying larger channel because if he said larger youtuber that could be misconstrued as a fat joke well he's a fat ass too but anyways it was a larger Chet it's a beautiful ass up anyways he had 18,000 subscribers I had about 15,000 subscribers at that size I felt like he was a lot larger me I wanted to get in touch with him he was doing cool videos and doing neat things my friends liked him uh I didn't I didn't want anything to do with him when he was messaging me no you pretty much you pretty much ignored me but then and I hate to sound like a jerk saying that but I I wasn't interested in trying to meet anybody yeah I mean just to be fair because you get to this point to where you kind of shut everyone out because you don't know who the trolls are yeah but the cool thing was is I found a way to give us attention i donated does campaign for CES and it gave me an end you make it sound like you bought my friendship well buddy I did but basically guys here's how it went I was laying out there on the couch he'd made the domain the donation he was DMing me on skype or not Skype - of Twitter because I followed you back we were having a Twitter conversation basically he says hey won't you just head on over to Skype let's check out chat on skype I was like no I'm just laying here watching TV I'm gonna go to bed soon I don't wanna about an hour later we're still DN me he's like clearly you're not going to bed so just take your butt over to the computer and get on skype so I called them three hour phone call later with bromance from the start next thing you know I'm on a plane and now I'm living with the guy then he met Chris Parrillo and I was like on the curb shut your mouth all right next question is from frizz IW he says who is the hottest obviously me next question look at the guy he's sweating it's obvious he's on the hottest all right the next question is from Lynn Wildwood she said what was your first game system and or first video game that you play a game question from a girl alright so for that let's see hold on I could go with that hard pole position okay well he doesn't conjures up some memories there and digs them out of the archive my very first game system was in an in television and a funky little like dial pad as a controller it looked like a foam pad for a number or for a phone it was really crazy and the very first game I ever played on that was football it was just called football you know it was a couple of like 300 alternating pixels that made a guy running that was it for me the first game that I have like a really good recollection in memory of playing it was like my first real video game was pole position on the Atari 2600 I think everybody's playful position and honestly I Racing's a lot better so Geoffrey frou-frou deep rowdy Jeffrey crowd crude what's gonna wait crowd he says so did you guys have any awkward situation while he slept over well there was that time what oh he's robbing other you're pointing at me see we had an awkward moment right now all right our next question comes from seer the gamer you said how long have you guys been doing YouTube and when did you know you wanted to start go ahead J I started my channel August 26 2012 and it was actually done on a dare I've told this story before a great guy by the name of holiday duck he was an emoji Cod caster Call of Duty my channel started guys because of Call of Duty a lot of people's channel started because of Call of Duty but I didn't start with as a call Call of Duty challenge it's the guy who got me with the interests of starting the channel dared me to do it he came into a live stream I was doing for a friend who traveled during the launch of battlefield through his close quarters and you want to see the gameplay so I figured out how to live stream to twitch and he happened to stumble in there he felt that I was energetic and worth watching so he told me he said hey do YouTube doesn't know I want to do YouTube and he said no you should do it people would like you I said dude nobody would like me everyone's mean on YouTube I have no personality nobody would be interested he goes I dare you this is a dairy to do it just put up put up one month's worth of videos and just see what happens well in that first month I had already gained like 500 subs and it became addictive so we just kind of kept it going and nearly two years later now we're on a regular schedule and I have absolutely no life so that makes it really easy yeah well my story is I started on a complete fluke actually wouldn't bought something called a flip video HD just to shoot video not for YouTube just my own personal video and one of the features on the camera was the upload straight to youtube can show straight up I literally used the straight upload to YouTube for my first 3 or 4 videos that were just like simple little product reviews just for fun I thought it was cool and after that I stopped doing it for like a year I didn't upload anything for like a year or two and then my mancave just grew out of control because I got in an arms race with a friend of mine and we basically kept upping our computers upping our displays upping everything just going absolutely crazy and one day I walked in and I was like damn the setup is so cool I should be sharing this with people this is definitely unique and so I picked up the camera and the rest is history and we've heard about three 46 inch monitors every day since and you'll keep hearing about it until I go up to 50 inch monitors or 60 inch monitors or three projector screens or just a direct line into my brain I think the irony here is as I approach 100k I did this channel to prove that it would go nowhere so Johnny McConville I think it's McConville is 2 C's is it McConville yep Johnny Mocambo says who is the catcher and who's the pitcher I'll be honest we've been so busy we haven't had a chance to play baseball this weekend yeah we'll get around to it eventually all right so Andrew Adkins on Twitter says best tip for my first build take your time quite honestly take your time double-check your connections and just make sure you've got everything you need before you start I mean seriously yeah it's nothing worse than starting a build realizing you oak I have no thermal paste or something like that yeah and don't get in a hurry take it slow your first build if it's your first quite honestly expect it to take you all day I agree all right our next question comes from ninja commander and he says why does using a web browser either Firefox or Chrome how raise the temple your GPUs like my sapphire r9 280x or top toxic over it's basically gpu-accelerated though the way that it's rendering the browser and everything inside of it is actually leveraging your GPU to render it faster I'm constantly monitoring my CPU usage and stuff a month on that UI you've seen popped up there if I open up my browser I'll see that my GPU usage could jump up from five to ten percent at all times and stay there yeah but I've also noticed I open up an entire set of tabs when I open up my browser it's a default tab I noticed that some of the websites like socialblade you have just one the ones that pop up if I close socialblade my usage goes down by like 8% the socialblade have any Flash content on it it has lots of Flash content and it's constantly refreshing itself yeah well flash also is GPU accelerated now so if you're on a web page that loads or utilizes flash that's definitely you're gonna see a GPU hit Overlord Minton's asks you so awesome we know well guys this has been the first edition I see first I'm sure they'll be more fast I've asked J and Jerry keep the hashtag rolling ask J and Jerry will probably pick some every Thursday for Tech Talk it sounds good I like it notice unfortunately guys I have some bad news Tech Talk next Thursday is not gonna happen unfortunately and why is that J life gets in the way
