I want to know what exactly they need to do to win at the christmas party. As a manager, is he just organising it to be an activity that he excels at or is it random.
“Who would have thought the logistics manager would have the most stuff taken from work”…. You mean the guy in charge of tracking it…. Seems like a forgotten conclusion.
I most have missed out. Or didn’t hear them explain. I recall hearing falling down or something. Is that helmet for medical reasons ? Or they fell before there just be extra safe now ? Or. Something else I’m missing.
"Told ya I'd win it." The first time I actually busted out with a full-on belly laugh while watching a LTT video... perfect editing... and perhaps a little *too* perfect that Alex "won" speakers at the LMG Christmas party.
@@jakedaynes-lmgYou guys have categories in your raffle?! How much stuff is Linus giving away that that is possible? Taking into account how much stuff you get sent to review every year plus the stuff bought by Labs you probably have to do that to get rid of some of the stuff
He's in Canada. He has universal health insurance already. The only thing he could "upgrade" on it, is eyes and dentals insurance, since that's not covered.
I'm getting the same kind of "hey I like this guy!" feeling with Elijah that I got with Dan when he first came around. He's a keeper! Good chemistry, good vibe, and seems to be a hard worker!
@@twodollarking8009 haha tbf I kinda get it, I don’t remember when Jake arrived, kinda went under the radar for me, but I could understand how ppl could have a negative first impression He’s such a babe really tho, love me some Jake videos haha
Even if you guys don't really use the intro anymore, I LOVE that you do it for these upgrade videos. The animation is awesome and a great throwback for long time fans.
Now the real question is: Does he enjoy Factorio because he is a logistics director or is he a logistics director because of his Factorio experience. 🤣
I mean company vs personal 🙃 But honestly with how much time I've wasted figuring out the obtuse configuration pages on random routers and APs, I can't blame him for just using what he's already familiar with. I like tinkering, but sometimes I just want the dang network to work.
Linus always balks at price tags. Then he gets the justification spiel and buys it anyway. Just look at all the stuff Chaos Alex has bought for the workshop with Linus's money. It's one of the things that makes him a great... was gonna say boss, but I guess just owner now. He'll complain that a thing is expensive, but he gets that quality gear costs money for a reason. And if they can explain how it will improve workflow, they'll get approval for just about anything.
This man is the first LLT employee I've seen who (Not flaming anyone or talking bad about them in this.) spent his amd upgrade like a reasonable adult.
While I generally agree, I don't see why you shouldn't spend the money on stupid things if you already have everything you need. For instance, people who live in a rented apartment or want to move out shouldn't get infrastructure items or bolt a projector in a room.
It's $5k and a computer costs like $2k at most unless you get something like a 4090 (or whatever the equivilent AMD one is).. It just means there's 3k of random stuff they're going to buy. I don't know that a 3D printer is any more "adult" than a neon sign.
It's a bit, the items are actually given at giveaways or parties. If not, there is a check out system of some kind to borrow or buy things from work. Nothing is actually stolen or not supposed to be there
Every one of these gets better and better. The employees trolling Linus, Elijah the sidekick, and Linus judging every upgrade like a disappointed parent. So good.
Honestly, those FAIL pens are a genius idea. Being a pen enjoyer (I am a sales guy after all) this is just amazing. LOVE that this was a true AMD upgrade in every sense and he did an amazing job at getting great value for that $5000usd. Love this video so much.
Your story made me think of a pen that when it's in a pen holder or cup looks like a pair of scissors. And it mad me laugh thinkink or all the times people tried to grab my scissor, and got a crappy pen and I do mean crappy. THANK YOU! so much 😂😅 Edit the pens are a good idea.

@@danielpicassomunoz2752 exactly! That’s what I thought of too I wonder if Elijah did that on purpose or if that natural because he’s that funny! lol 😂🤣

12:44 PLEASE does anyone know what cat breed this is? I have the same cat and these cats are all black (even the whiskers and lips) besides a small white spot on the chest and one on the belly. These cats have the same long tails that they love to curl in weird ways, same yellow eyes, same bald spots above the eyes, same love for bonking their head on stuff after sniffing it, they are very long/tall, and they are very friendly and affectionate. The place I adopted her from gave little info about the breed and everything I've tried to look up is wrong, I want to know her breed for my curiosity and if there's something to learn about how to make her happier. (No its not a tuxedo cat). She MAY be a bombay or a mix of one, but since a bunch of other cats have such a distinctive difference in traits, id imagine they're their own breed
Love the voice over correction! I know it's a small thing but I'm really happy that the (generally overblown, but sometimes valid) criticisms from the GN stuff have been actioned.
Elijah is absolutely the best lmao hes so genuine and a mood
Yea hes funny asf
@Bcap420 You can tell hes just a fun kid who loves the stuff he does even if hes new to some of it hes the new most precious ltt member lol
The "We're the try guys... Except I didn't cheat on my wife yet" lines has gone under appreciated so far
Agreed, we definitely need more Elijah
Yeah where'd he come from? I don't remember him in any other videos.
The fact that he was confident about winning the speakers in the Christmas party and actually won them is an absolute *boss* move.
Manager* move 😂😂😂

Please make that helmet part of Elijah's work uniform. 😆

And not sponsored
What more do you need to know? CNC kitchen, Adam savages tested and uncle Jessie, all have great, in depth reviews of all Bamboo labs printers.
This upgrade felt so clean
I like this new dude who almost died on the stairs on the last one
Can someone get me up to speed on the whole ‘supplier screwed us over with 100.000 screwdriver shafts’!
What happened there?

Or he traded with the winner.

How much stuff is Linus giving away that that is possible?
Taking into account how much stuff you get sent to review every year plus the stuff bought by Labs you probably have to do that to get rid of some of the stuff
Elijah is a gem. He's an innocent, seemingly oblivious troll, and has amazing screen presence.
+
The zap straps killed me
His humor is also on point.
Elijah absolutely deserves an upgrade as well. He could use that budget to upgrade his health insurance for a year! :)
100%
He's in Canada. He has universal health insurance already. The only thing he could "upgrade" on it, is eyes and dentals insurance, since that's not covered.
@@TetraSky”eyes”, maybe he shouldn’t have taken off the goggles
He is got it. He bought second Belle Delphine keyboard with bathwater because he already owns one.
Happy to see that Elijah is well protected!
we're joking yes, but only half-joking ! 21:40
Poor fella needs it, actual trouble magnet in this series
Elijah hitting his head with the helmet on actually protecting him is hilarious
18:30, "flip it in Windows" killed me for a solid minute, thanks Elijah! 😭
I'm getting the same kind of "hey I like this guy!" feeling with Elijah that I got with Dan when he first came around. He's a keeper! Good chemistry, good vibe, and seems to be a hard worker!
Same! He’s goofy and chaotic in a very fun way
he kinda annoys me like jake did, but i'm warming up to him in the same way I did Jake. lol

17:46
"... cuz it won't fit, you can't mount it afterward"
"IS THAT A CHALLENGE ?!" Elijah asked calmly
And someone farted...
Linus and Elijah snickering at flipping the monitor over, absolutely killed me. I'd do the same thing, too. 😂
Too bad they got caught
@@Supmah2007 I know!! Would've been so worth it if they still had to switch it afterwards. So funny.

hilarious that elijah's protective gear isn't just a costume gimmick the helmet stays on and is a legitimate preventative measure
Also love how he says "thanks buddy" when he interacted with Linus.
When did he fall down stairs?

The "Told ya I'd win it" is the best part about this video. Bless you, Alex.
ABSOLUTELY 😂😂😂
Elijah feels like such a goofy and nice guy. I want to be friends with him!
That's why Linus hired him he makes friends by hiring people just like how Luke fell for it.
Ask him about the day he showed up for his interview. Literally the smoothest thing I ever saw. "Hello I am interview Elijah".
@jamiepilkey bruh way to call me out
Linus's obligatory stolen items checklist is mandatory for every tech upgrade.

He'll show up in more, seems great behind the camera. I remember the first time Dan showed up on camera and he's still my favorite host

That's how Dan started. Few appearences here and there and then, BOOM, "major star" 😁

When it's someone else's money you tend to just get things that you want no matter how logical those things are.

Ah yes, finally, a reasonable adult!
