It might have been interesting, but it was so annoying with all the time-wasting "fun" stuff, that I stopped watching. I bet they could have easily made that 12 minute video into a 4 or less minute video. The video makers basically don't care about their viewers and want to monetize their attention, pathetic.

I got as far in that video to where one of the guys shouts about his "meaningless victory".

Meaningless indeed. Thanks Linus Tech Tips.

I’ll defend LTT here: it’s supposed to be a fun video. Entertainment value is core to their videos, that’s what their audience comes for in the first place.

If you’re rather looking for short, to-the-point videos, you’ll be better served by Linus Media Group’s other channel, Techquickie.

I watched most-not-all of it and really enjoyed the build. Sure it could have been shorter, but also maybe they shouldn't be overclocking an 18 year old calculator just to play Doom. Who wouldn't want a water cooled calculator?
