[144.36 --> 150.78] And then immediately the next year, he was like, you're going to work it just at PAX.
[151.06 --> 153.70] And I was like, okay, well, that sounds like a pretty okay compromise.
[153.98 --> 156.52] So, I started making videos at PAX about computer hardware.
[156.64 --> 160.00] Now, in retrospect, good compromise.
[160.18 --> 161.92] It was interesting.
[162.12 --> 163.42] It was a fun thing to do.
[163.74 --> 166.98] I really like PAX, so I've been to, like, 15 of them.
[167.12 --> 169.08] So, working some of those was probably okay.
[170.12 --> 174.20] But there used to be an abundance of new interesting stuff at PAX.
[174.34 --> 175.24] It was usually peripherals.
[175.34 --> 176.14] We get a lot of keyboards.
[176.28 --> 176.94] We get a lot of mice.
[177.06 --> 177.94] Get a lot of headsets.
[178.04 --> 178.76] That kind of stuff.
[178.76 --> 181.02] But we'd sometimes get cases and a few other things.
[181.18 --> 183.24] There was never, like, a graphics card or something.
[183.46 --> 185.84] But there was always a lot of technology videos to make.
[185.90 --> 186.12] Sure.
[186.52 --> 188.68] That slowly started dwindling over the years.
[188.82 --> 193.80] The amount of potential technology videos at PAX slowly started reducing constantly over time.
[193.84 --> 194.46] But here's my question.
[194.60 --> 194.88] Yes.
[194.88 --> 202.02] So, do you prefer to go as Luke or as Luke from Linus Media Group?
[202.24 --> 206.56] I can't not go as Luke from Linus Media Group.
[206.60 --> 206.94] Now.
[207.34 --> 207.50] Yeah.
[207.54 --> 207.94] I guess.
[208.06 --> 213.70] But, like, on your third or fourth time there, when maybe people didn't know you were Luke from Linus Media Group as much.
[213.70 --> 214.12] Oh, okay.
[214.30 --> 214.74] So...
[214.74 --> 216.72] You were working there, but you weren't, like, super famous.
[217.58 --> 218.86] So, that would be...
[218.86 --> 219.04] Yeah.
[219.12 --> 221.16] There was, like, one year in that gap.
[221.88 --> 223.30] And that was pretty good.
[223.34 --> 225.90] It was funny because my dad always does this.
[226.02 --> 226.56] So, okay.
[227.26 --> 228.02] A little bit of backstory.
[228.16 --> 229.06] When I go to PAX West...
[229.06 --> 230.80] I was born at PAX.
[231.02 --> 232.64] Back in the old days.
[232.88 --> 235.44] I was conceived at the Corsair booth.
[235.44 --> 236.92] My dad's been to a million years.
[237.48 --> 237.66] Yeah.
[237.74 --> 237.92] I know.
[238.04 --> 241.84] So, my dad brought me to PAX as a, like, as a birthday present.
[242.30 --> 243.66] And he brought myself my best friend.
[243.66 --> 246.04] And so, we went from when I was, like, really young.
[246.60 --> 251.68] And the first year that any amount of people knew me at all, which was a very, very small amount of people.
[251.84 --> 253.60] Because I think I had been in one WAN show.
[253.72 --> 254.10] That's it.
[254.24 --> 254.56] Oh, wow.
[254.58 --> 255.60] By the time I went to this PAX.
[257.36 --> 262.12] That year, my dad would, like, look around for anyone that stared at me for too long.
[262.22 --> 262.46] Okay.
[262.56 --> 263.72] And then would go, like, get them.
[263.96 --> 265.18] And get them to come over to me.
[265.20 --> 265.58] God thinks you're hot.
[265.66 --> 265.92] Yeah.
[268.02 --> 268.96] I don't know who he is.
[269.10 --> 269.80] He just looks...
[269.80 --> 270.74] Come say hi to this person.
[270.82 --> 271.10] Interesting.
[271.62 --> 272.14] So, yeah.
[272.22 --> 273.02] That was pretty cool.
[273.02 --> 273.48] But, yeah.
[273.66 --> 274.08] No, it's...
[274.08 --> 274.58] I still...
[274.58 --> 275.68] I really like meeting people.
[276.40 --> 281.78] I think the reason why I would have probably preferred the old one was because I liked PAX more back in the day.
[282.40 --> 284.14] But that's not actually...
[284.14 --> 285.62] That doesn't have anything to do with meeting fans.
[285.62 --> 285.64] Yeah.
[285.64 --> 290.50] Well, that was my question ultimately was, now that there's fewer videos to make, do you get to enjoy the show more?
[290.66 --> 293.18] And it's kind of, like, the best of all worlds.
[293.18 --> 295.54] I would have if there was more stuff to check out.
[296.02 --> 297.94] The show overall is just...
[297.94 --> 299.64] It's much bigger now.
[299.64 --> 299.70] Oh.
[299.70 --> 305.50] And when you become much bigger in terms of those types of shows, it usually becomes a little bit more corporate, a little bit more stale.
[305.56 --> 306.74] There's more rules now.
[307.56 --> 309.86] Like, back in the day, a booth would have, like, a giveaway.
[310.30 --> 311.58] And everyone would swarm it.
[311.62 --> 312.98] And they'd, like, throw stuff out.
[313.02 --> 313.74] And it was crazy.
[313.86 --> 315.22] Now, you're not allowed throwing things.
[315.48 --> 316.86] Because probably someone got hurt.
[317.66 --> 319.36] Which has to ruin the fun and everything.
[320.40 --> 321.62] And, like, I don't know.
[321.68 --> 321.98] It just...
[321.98 --> 322.70] It became bigger.
[322.78 --> 323.42] It became more corporate.
[323.54 --> 325.60] It's not as, like, niche and nerdy anymore.
[325.60 --> 328.06] It's still really cool.
[328.14 --> 328.78] It's a great event.
[328.98 --> 329.50] I love going to PAX.
[329.50 --> 331.16] I hope LTX never suffers from that.
[331.22 --> 332.76] Remember how much stuff we threw last year?
[332.84 --> 333.16] Exactly.
[333.16 --> 334.64] A lady almost got murked, man.
