Our poor guy Riley keeps getting exploited by Linus' family. The first was from Esther that offer him to work at NCIX and the second is from Linus to work at LMG. 😂
This was amazing to watch. I was at NCIX when Linus first started there and got to see how it all started for him. Worked beside Esthers office so this was a memory lane video for me. Linus built my first computer for me in a Silcerstone Sugo series case. Non gaming.
I still rock one, just flipped it upside down and changed it into a positive pressure case (2x 120mm fans blowing in air from the now bottom filter), looks ugly as hell from above but works wonderfully.

Something I've noticed about refresh rate: people mostly don't notice the difference going from a low refresh rate to a higher one, but if they have to go back to a lower one, they notice right away.
I notice instantly, even going from 60 to 75 Hz. That's why I stick with CRTs -- high refresh rates, no sample-and-hold, and better colorspace. Plus, resolution independence so going from, say, a 1600x1200 desktop to a 1024x768 game to get a nice 120 Hz refresh and better framerates on, say, an RX 570 or, in the future, an RX 6600 or 6700.

i remember back in the days when Esther was doing video's she always had a great energy i am glad she is still like that it was good seeing her again !
Don't normally leave comments, but this was genuinely a really enjoyable video. She was really funny and charming! Would love to see her build something with Linus again, maybe even all three of them
id like to see more family stuff like this. its wholesome and cute. does Riley have an even crazy silbing or, and i hope this is true, is there an Anthony 2? no way god could create a second perfect being like him
I love how they seemingly had just ONE reaction shot of him, but reused it like 4-5 times whenever she mentioned him throughout the video, even during the outro!

Good to see her again. I have followed Linus since the late 90's I think. Met him through the ncix forums and sales somehow. So obviously as she started to show up I watched her as well. I still follow her on socials, and I remember her gorgeous dogs which I hope are still around. Fun Episode! She's also a very good designer. She also has a good point, I want an electric screw driver lol. Edit: I started dealing with NCIX in the late 90's I believe, clearly I mixed up when Linus started.

These rare family builds are consistently some of the best videos on the channel!
I watched her pc build video back in the day, and I remember the most of NCIS Ester, leaving
So good to see her back, even if it was just for a visit
Definitely loved the little sister energy and shenanigans.
Nostalgic. More ncix members please. I had a little crush on esther way back. Glad to see her again.
DUDE what a throwback!! So cool to see Esther come back for an episode 😁
The innuendo's in this video are insane!
i remember back in the days when Esther was doing video's she always had a great energy i am glad she is still like that it was good seeing her again !
I love the ongoing bit where she keeps on adding years since she last built a PC 😂
Especially once the number of years was so big that she wasn't a gleam in her mom's eye yet the last time she built a computer!
Don't normally leave comments, but this was genuinely a really enjoyable video. She was really funny and charming! Would love to see her build something with Linus again, maybe even all three of them
Totally agree! Linus also seemed so happy recalling the good old times! Very wholesome video 🥰
Why is the title and description in Spanish for me? I'm in the UK. Good job UA-cam 😂
id like to see more family stuff like this. its wholesome and cute. does Riley have an even crazy silbing or, and i hope this is true, is there an Anthony 2? no way god could create a second perfect being like him
Plouffe's reaction when esther told him "come on guy" was hilarious 13:30
I love how they seemingly had just ONE reaction shot of him, but reused it like 4-5 times whenever she mentioned him throughout the video, even during the outro!
@@nickybakes Linus is cheap so gotta keep production cost down😉😆
Linus with his family always makes me smile.
I can only be happy that minecraft has managed to transition its player base very well. I remember playing it for the first time in 2010 and its awesome to see the game still thriving today
You can definitely tell Yvonne and Esther are sisters, they are so much alike.
thats racist
@@tomazevic007 …how?
@@tomazevic007 how?
@@tomazevic007 It's Esther's and Yvonne's personality, not everything is about race and the fact your mind went straight to race is disappointing.
@@tomazevic007whoa, buddy what r u smokin?
I see Linus is trying to be the cool uncle & brother-in-law, respect.
Omg, Esther! This brought back some memories. Used to watch her present NCIX's netlinked daily.
Glad to see Linus and Esther back in a video
Forta frate
YES!
Sheesh, I truly laughed 😂 love Linus' builds so much. I have a secret hope that one day I'd be able to participate in either video of building a pc with Linus and guys from LTT, or at LTT's busyness :3
I remember this case. It was so popular for LAN goers. Small, integrated carry handle(s), just perfect.
What is the case?
@@noahzinc Bitfenix Prodigy, came in ITX and M-ATX and was recently modernized.
@@chrissoclone thanks for that. I really like the Mac Pro 'but more compact' vibes
Esther is hilarious and needs to be in more LTT content!
100% Agree
If memory serves, last time we asked for something like that, it was with this girl that ended up hired after a tech upgrade.... and didn't last long nor go well.
@@juanpablofajardoramirez1008 who was this?
@@greentea_ Madison Reeve is her name
@@juanpablofajardoramirez1008 why didn't it go well? I thought she was fine and funny when she used to host the news show and even though she left with a tweet but doesn't seem like a bad end on either side imo
Oh my god... I had SUCH a crush on Esther when I was younger. It's wild seeing her again a decade later.
Gross man, she was a toddler ;)
@@ReivecS I wonder of HE was a toddler too....
same man.
Had?
I think you mean 15 years later. Possibly 40 or 45.
NCIX Esther, did a great job! Thank you. Very entertaining.
This was just delightful 😂 Thank you to everyone involved in making this!
I loved her on tech linked great energy. I was mentally voting for her and Riley for joining ltt
which video was it ?
@@srivallabh962 she did ncix tech link with Reilly and a few others like 12 , 13 years ago Linus tried to buy the channel when the stores closed 3 or 4 years ago but due to the litigation at the time it wasn't possible
Omg we need more Esther and Linus videos. More fun and embarrassing stories please!
@@dopedruid so true hahaha. Im always amazed how cult-like and sucked-in the fan boys here are.
I am actually watching this on that OLED monitor. It is my first OLED monitor and I don't think it is possible to go back to a monitor that isn't OLED. The visuals are just far superior to anything else.
"I will call you when it needs to get done." Said like a true family member.
"I immediately dialled up my friends at ASUS to sponsor this video" - Typical Linus moment
14:45 It's called Cunningham's Law, and I've just demonstrated that it works.
Good to see her again. I have followed Linus since the late 90's I think. Met him through the ncix forums and sales somehow. So obviously as she started to show up I watched her as well. I still follow her on socials, and I remember her gorgeous dogs which I hope are still around. Fun Episode! She's also a very good designer. She also has a good point, I want an electric screw driver lol. Edit: I started dealing with NCIX in the late 90's I believe, clearly I mixed up when Linus started. As you get older the dates blur together folks. Sorry.
Linus would have been 12 in 1999.
late 2000s? sure. 90s? he was a literal child :D
Oh no you guys… he’s serious with the 90s.
He has “followed” Linus… obviously he’s a crazy stalker.
yeah I clearly screwed the dates up. Getting mixed up with when I started dealing with NCIX vs when he started there. Sorry.
It was 45 years ago
2:07 "Let's go, new PC!"
You love to see that.
Those kids are gonna say “My pc was built my Linus tech tips I don’t care if your dad owns Microsoft”
The questions coming from Plouffe were 10/10. Such a nice addition
And just randomly panning to him sat on the laptop
