2018-10-29
and finally we are at the wrap up video for pax 2018 in Australia Melbourne and this has been such an exciting event from start to finish of course I've been going around covering all the different booths checking out all the different technologies and in this video I'm going to share with you guys what I thought was the best at least experiences in terms of coming here and what to try baby for next year you can get a ideal angst as well - Intel and course after sponsoring out this trip but let's take a look first things first we have to talk about HP omen and their booth they had on display it was so good it's not funny they had literally everything I just enjoyed the most at this booth but start as they had the Red Bull cars where he could play Forza horizon for it was so exciting and then they had the wingsuit which of course wing suits are banned in a lot of countries and you can experience it with VR and it was just so exciting and they had different sorts of VR experiences on display and then at the back they had some real innovative products we saw a headset with cold plates inside using the thermoelectric plates that take the heat out so it keeps your ears cold and it was such a cool concept that I believe will work in the real world especially in hotter climates like Australia so the headset was really cool but besides that there was a keyboard and mouse that uses optical mechanical switches so I guess it's the next step up for getting the fastest response times possible because it uses a laser instead of an actual mechanical switch now to actuate the keys and this is also being introduced on the mouse itself so it's in the keyboard in the mouse and to top that off they also had competitions and streaming booths at this as well as a massive truck from Intel and HP this booth definitely scored number one in terms of not only function but also experience so now moving on to the rest of the event there was so many different PCs consoles VR experiences a lot of it was free-to-play they even had a 100 play a battle royale within the own vicinity of the booth and packs itself so you're only playing against other people at the event which was really cool concept even though the game was for tonight I believe they were trying some other games at least when I jumped in and gave it a try and they had console free play they had a lot of people playing card games they even had chess so there was just so many different things from start to finish to try out if you weren't into something specifically you could definitely go over and two minutes later you were trying something else so they've really got it well organized I mean Saturday and Sunday were very busy and there were some big queues but with the sheer amount of consoles and PCs to play on at all different boos it just really made a good experience anyone could just go to a booth for instance the azuz booth they had the triple ultra wide surround I really enjoyed this and I didn't have to wait long at all to jump on and have a go with call of duty black ops 4 now moving through the whole event itself I do have to give props to the coolermaster hermit pod this was so cool knowing the fact that it was just really comfortable it was actually a good concept I do see this taking off especially with people who live inside apartments and they want something that they can chill on watch movies but also play games and relax while they're playing games and I funny thing is about the hermit pod was my aim with the mouse was actually really good it didn't deter me it wasn't uncomfortable as opposed to sitting down in front of a desk it was really well done and it even had a cup holder so you can put a coffee or tea in my case would be a cup of tea and just really enjoy your games but then we move on to the custom builds and this is where the hermit pods were attached to the sea tea and the tea and then going through the whole event there was just so many different costs and builds already plugged Athens bills as well they were really innovative next level and I was just enjoying seeing so many varieties of hardware and different loops different concepts even reflective builds like we saw with the faze clan build and also the how builds on csgo we're in the dark they just look so nice and they were packed with the latest graphics cards RTX 28 ET is and also the I $9.99 hundred K and the anniversary edition i7 808 6k which if you haven't already I'll put the link in the description below for a video where you can get in with a chance to win an 808 6k so be quick and good luck with the chance on that now speaking of giveaways every booth you went to though either giving away some merch like hoodies or shirts or even frisbees in the case of Alienware and I'm actually wearing the Alienware neon jacket where a lights up and it's just really cool you can change it to three different modes I think mine's run out of battery now actually but moving through there if you couldn't get some merch given away they had discounts on everything - so like you could go get a shirt really nice shirt for four dollars for instance or you could go get a hoodie for really cheap and then there were so many giveaways on products on enthusiast tech or even deals like we saw with a Zeus with their monitors so you could really get and extract your value out of purchasing the ticket for pax Australia itself and then lastly of course we had unreleased games for instance in the case of Nvidia they had Metro Exodus on display now I'm really looking forward to this title I really enjoyed Metro last light it was such a fun game such a good experience I jumped into it it's a really fun game it's going to be awesome but at the same time the r-tx does look pretty good but it comes in my opinion at a significant cost now I know this games not released yet but this game was running 1080p full HD on a r-tx 28 et I believe and it was still sort of stuttering here and there it was like a little bit choppy and it just wasn't like I had really smooth experience I'm like thinking 20 atti 1080p I even with Archie exon I believe we should be getting a really good experience out of this Hardware combination but besides the game itself it did have those extra features they do look pretty good of course I'm waiting for the finished products before I make my final judgement but from what I'm seeing so far like when look at a game like Crysis 3 for example that looks beautiful and it plays really nicely just need high-end hardware again so whether it's RT X on or off I'm sure you're really gonna enjoy a good-looking game regardless and finally to wrap up everything with this event itself it was just so well organized I had absolutely no hiccups except of course when I started streaming black ops 4 blackout mode and we told had got into streaming and it was like a 15 FPS stream and it was really funny because I didn't see this sort of being a problem on day 3 but of course was streaming in the past when I've tried streaming on my channel I've had problems as well but when it came to the event and just meeting up with all you guys out there who were here and I came up to us and said hi thank you so much we did take some pictures together was really cool all the competitions as well and also big thanks to Intel and Corsair for sponsoring out this event as well as providing the giveaways there was a NOx being given away every day there's also demonstrations of all the new hardware you can play on it at various different booths and then of course you had the cheaper hardware itself so they had discounted Knox going for sale as well so the whole event just came together to just be epic and I really come out of this enjoying it I look forward to coming next year if pax would be so graceful to have us again and if you guys enjoyed this video then you know what to do be sure to hit that like button and let us know in the comment section below if you were here if you weren't here let us know what your favorite thing was you saw on video or you saw in person at the event love reading your thoughts and opinions as always and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon this is finished we're moving on to sr2 territory now and if we get a bit of time we may even do a bit of a parts hunt in Melbourne our first ever for the channel so fun times ahead love you guys thanks for the support and thanks for bringing me here peace out for now
