So I was in Linus' office one time and we decided we needed a screenshot from Oregon Trail proclaiming that one of our team members had fallen ill with a settler-era disease. We ended up playing through the game, screen-capping the whole thing, and in the end we thought it was enjoyable enough to share with you folks! So here's a completely unscripted, impromptu Let's Play of Oregon Trail featuring Linus and James.
A HUGE Update... - fp Exclusive BtS Vlog It was bound to happen eventually :s
Are these boring? Let me know and I'll see what I can do different or if I should just stop trying to do these. =D
Hey, all! Episode 2 is coming tonight! Soon! It's still being worked on so in the meantime, I thought I'd throw this out here.
What it's like in the office right now...
We've got videos coming soon! In the meantime, enjoy this tour by Dennis of his home setup!
What's that? 2 videos are coming tomorrow?! Possibly?! In the meantime, you can watch this video about why I'm using a Mac AND a Windows laptop. TLDR: Mac can't do one thing. Windows can't do the other.
We'll return to your regularly scheduled programming really soon! I promise! In the meantime, here's another FP exclusive!
And yes, Dennis approved the use of the chat.
Well, it's that time again! Tuesday's video is probably going to be delayed as we're having technical issues with it. Today's video is still coming out today. Now a question for you all: Can I post these as soon as I get them ready or will Tuesday (or whatever day) come around and you'll go, "Where's today's video??" and forget that I posted this? =D -EY
Don't expect these as frequently as they have been but BAM. Here's another one!
Next exclusive will probably be next week!
WHOOPS. It's back. HERE'S ANOTHER FLOATPLANE EXCLUSIVE! Might have another one tomorrow if you want.
HAPPY FRIDAY! So, Sunday's video is going to be delayed but hey, at least you've got this exclusive!
Next one will probably be Friday.
You know the drill! Sorry! We've got one FP tomorrow AND a stream! In the meantime, here's a thing!
So this was supposed to turn into a video but it never did so I'm just going to put this here.
Just thought you guys would like a quick video. =) Haven't forgotten about you guys! -EY
Why is Andy? Who is door lock? What is secret stream? Possibly find out in this episode of FP Exclusive!!!
I walk around and bother people. ENJOY!
Guess who shot and edited this one!
Apparently I was very hungry when we recorded this... MOTION SICKNESS WARNING: there is lots of big WHIP PANS in this video.
But he didn't ask the most important question: Why is Andy?
Nicole made this.
Short little update!
Due to time constraints, we chose not to try to finish this video. Unfortunately, we also started editing this while it was being filmed... SO HERE YOU GO!
I don't know if it's a recent update that's messed things up or just that I haven't used my SE for video until now but it looks messed up sometimes. (I got an iPhone SE to replace my X which died...)
Testing the footage in different lighting scenarios and seeing what can be fixed in post and so on with the Chronos 2.1HD camera. You can see that there's a bit of an issue with fixed pattern noise when there isn't enough light. Anyway, posting it and hope you like the random clips.
I love that I can use titles on FP Exclusives that don't really make sense... But kind of do. Anyway, this got cut out of a video but we didn't want to just toss it. By Nicole
I wanted to share the hype and experience of the Ursa Mini 12K. Hope you enjoy! -EY
Quick little update from our favorite Dennis!
Top secret stuff in this one! Also, what kind of content for FP Exclusives do you guys like? Let me know in the comments and hit like on the FP exclusive videos you like that have come out so far so I can look at them and be like, "Oh, this has likes so that must mean they like them." -EY
MOSTLY UNCUT, ONLY LIGHTLY EDITED, RAWish, UNCENSORED INTERVIEW! Did that get you excited for this FP Exclusive? I SURE HOPE SO.
A supercut of Linus getting shocked by Electroboom, just for you Floatplane!
Hi this is Dennis, I am a professional shopper, of course I didn't go over the budget!
Is it an exclusive if the clip will be in the final video? I'm not entirely sure, but no one else will see an unedited version like this so I *guess* portions of it will be exclusive. Also lots of things were once exclusive but now can be found everywhere, like toilets. In the 1850s only the wealthy had toilets. The US only passed 50% crapper adoption in 1940, but now everyone has a personal porcelain throne. What once was exclusive now is ubiquitous. Since Steam games need to finish downloading before I can resume testing, lets talk about the thunder can a bit longer. Contrary to popular belief the toilet was not invented by Sir Thomas Crapper, instead that honor goes to the Scottish mechanic Alexander Cumming in 1775. He designed the S-Trap Vortex Flushing Toilet we still use today, which is pretty great because the shape of the S-trap toilet creates a seal of water, preventing foul smells for the sewer entering your home and also creating a vacuum effect to suck all of your waste
You've seen him here, but now actually meet the delightful David! In his natural habitat the camera and ingest den.
This week on Meet the Team. He's a maker, he's magnificent. It's cool Colin. Heads up - the air compressor kicks in at the end of the clip, headphone users beware! -CW Also the audio desyncs - we are investigating -CW
I get lost easily, this office is a maze. Someone send help I am trapped in logistics. This tour is brought to you by spatial awareness.
Finally we get to fully meet the Spectacular Sarah!!! Note: The squeaking you may hear is not a mouse, someone *cough cough* wore squeaky shoes
Meet the wonderful styling and charming Chase!!!!! Always remember to charge your batteries : 0
We had a bunch of bonus footage from the making-of Desk PC that didn't make the LTT cut - so here's a little exclusive with a mini shop tour of Colin's shop featuring the drone wall and... woodpile?
Tech wiz, pickle connoisseur, and a maker of things. Meet the authentic Alex!
Hoffmann had some leftovers that he wanted to share.
It's fast, it's fun, but it isn't very detailed. Here's a quick overview of the shop. It's still a work in progress with lots of projects going on but it's pretty interesting to look at.
We put together an extended directors cut of Tech Show & Tell - Part 1 just for you Floatplane folks!
A Floatplane Exclusive? On Friday?! You know what that means! We're going to miss some FP uploads but we'll get back to our regularly scheduled programming real soon. In the meantime, Jono shows off our new SC set! Mark and I give you a taste of our new rooms. I know this one is a bit different from our usual style but I hope you enjoy it all the same. Have a good weekend! -EY
Upgrades on upgrades. Some wonderful extra footage from the Jackery ultimate van tech video
Some tidbits left over or maybe re-used, I don't remember. But anyway, here's a thing from Hoffmann! Let him know if you like it. -EY
Cool dude, awesome writer, and an Apple enthusiast. Meet the jovial Jonathan. The writer and host for our new channel Mac Address
Nicole's servin' up a extra bit of footage for ya'll!
I think I might have written this one and was listening to Portal or Portal 2 dialogue tracks. At the very least, I wrote the copy for the graphics that was definitely inspired by Portal...
This video's from 2013!! Does anyone remember when Pop-Up Video existed? They had these little fun facts pop-up in bubbles for music videos. Well, I thought I'd do that to give some fun facts for this video that you might not have ever watched seeing as how the video only has few thousand views. Anyway, attached is the video and then video with pop-up comments!
So I had my newer editors give some old videos a watch to give their take on it. Kind of a, "This is what the company, that you now work for, used to do." I feel like I have to do a response video their criticisms as I had a lot to do with some of those videos and they were just merciless about it. Also, this whole video is out of focus - shot and edited by Hoffmann. On an unrelated note, I have 3 editor positions opening soon. -EY
This one's coming at ya from Hoffmann - featuring Jonathan Horst and Andy talking behind the camera.
Do you want more of the behind the scenes of what our employees have to say? Well look no further than this video. Get the behind the scenes thoughts on our video making process.
Another killer feature from Hoffmann "The Hitman" Wong!
Everyone loves technology!
Heads up! Today's LTT is delayed to tomorrow. In the meantime, entertain yourselves with some Mac Address!
As it turns out, when you put free Red Bull in the fridge, we'll drink it. NOW WE'RE HOOKED.
Welcome to the BTS clip compilation series. We hope you enjoy your stay.
UH OH what are you hiding in your history?!
Courtesy of Nicole - cutting room floor footage! Also, the Steam Deck video is still processing and will be up as soon as it's finished. Sorry! Hoffmann finished the video this morning after starting on it as soon as I had gotten back into the country (last night) with the footage. -EY
Extra footage courtesy of Marcus! Who's Marcus? Watch the other video to find out, sort of! -EY
15 minutes about volumetric capture with some industry experts, heck yeah. -Alex

These are excerpts from the chat with customer service to highlight my copy+pasting the same messages to 4 different agents. There were around 10 messages from me that weren't copy paste; they were about confirming my account, them not seeing the license under my account because they were looking at the wrong account, and then something about a discount instead of cancelling (which was wrong). -EY
Do you have an HDR monitor/TV/phone? We're going to try to get this out in the next week and we'll try to do it for videos that seem like they would benefit from the range that HDR can bring!
So here's the test run of the Bioluminescent PC shots in HDR. You'll have to DOWNLOAD the HDR version. I've also included a quick SDR grade to compare with. If you get the HDR version working on your end, maybe let me know: What display you're watching on What level of HDR the display is capable of Knowing these could help us in making decisions like, "Should we aim for 1000 nits if people only have HDR400 displays?" in which case your display would be doing some tone mapping and clipping to fit the range - and that might mean some weirdness going on, highlights clipping too much, and so on. -EY
I heard you guys like exclusives? This one's from Nicole.
Meet the marvelous, the wonderful, the really reallllly cool RILEY!
Have you ever wondered what LMG employees dress up as for Halloween? No? Well too bad! Happy spooky season to all you lovely people.
Get your microwave ready, got some leftovers for you to warm up! (That makes sense, right?)
After cutting up that meat, there are some scraps of meat that fell on the cutting room floor. Do you want a bite? Is the title and description really lame? Let us know! -EY
Welcome to the BTS clips from the previous couple of months!
You know how you build something and then you end up with a few extra pieces and you're all like, "...Well, I'm not taking this apart. I hope it stays together!" Sorry Asus x Noctua didn't get posted sooner, this is my way of saying, 'Please don't be mad." =( -EY
We decided it was time to make some ART with the handy dandy laser in the workshop. Attempting to fulfil Bell's biggest design dreams, we etched his PC case panel with his favorite things... It involves anime : 0

Alex tests out an interesting idea Linus had in one of our writer meetings. Can we make a Noctua air cooler... "better"?
A dropped CPU leads to some pretty badly bent pins. Are Linus and Alex able to get it back and running?

We give Buildzoid a call and he helps us with shunt modding a GPU. This is the extended version of the call found in the LTT video "Nvidia Doesn't Want You To Do This".
Hey guys! Here are some leftovers from Colin's shop upgrade plus some clips from the making of his new Sub Box. Enjoy!

We were all told at this Monday's meeting to NOT miss this day at work... turns out Linus and Chase had planned out an entire day of fun for the LMG team! (and oh boy is there a lot of us now)
Linus wanted a fancy CRT for some reason so I drove across the province to go get it! Since I've done this drive dozens of times I thought I'd teach you a bit about the towns along the way.

How do more LMG employees rank some of the USA and Canada's most popular fast food chains? Can Dennis' tier list stand against intense scrutiny from some of the office's biggest fast food lovers?
We test out the LMG employees knowledge on Pokémon and see how many of the original 151 Pokémon they can name. Will they show off their gaming knowledge or crack under pressure? How many could you name in a minute?

We're back with another BTS but this time Linus and the team deal with some annoying tech problems in a LTT and upcoming Short Circuit video. Thank god we have Anthony around.

Linus got his hands dirty (and bloodied) for this incredible temporary solution.
