    Microsoft really paying Linus to promote the shitbox🥵



  2. Stranger things on October 18, 2020 at 4:23 pm

    Did I just get clickbated



  3. J T on October 18, 2020 at 4:23 pm

    Sony predicted to sell more next gen consoles? Bit early to make that prediction… It’s 2 horse race, yes, with Nintendo do their own thing, but Microsoft does have the more powerful machine this time (at least from the start).



  4. Corrado Scire on October 18, 2020 at 4:23 pm

    Ah I already see all the disappointed children that asked for a ps5 but get the xbox for their birthday and asking their mom why but she responds with the timeless line: "the gamestop employee told me it was better"



  5. Attila TheHUN on October 18, 2020 at 4:26 pm

    1:56 „A small number of customers“…Louis Rossmann has entered the chat.



  6. 獅子猫又NiffirgkcaJ on October 18, 2020 at 4:27 pm

    5:47 oh goodness, I thought running it on Minecraft sheep were enough~



  7. josi1999H on October 18, 2020 at 4:27 pm

    Linus is very biased for Xbox huh?



  8. BA on October 18, 2020 at 4:27 pm

    I dont even have chrome dl to any of my computers or devices. So THERE!



  9. Light Foot on October 18, 2020 at 4:29 pm

    I want to eat some of that NASA cheese



  10. Raymond Z on October 18, 2020 at 4:30 pm

    Came here for sony update



  11. FinnSkin on October 18, 2020 at 4:31 pm

    Why do they have to yell from the background when you can’t even hear them, is this supposed to be funny?



  12. Socks VR on October 18, 2020 at 4:31 pm

    people are stupid. so easily manipulated. it still shocks me to this day. the old analogy of people being sheep keeps proving itself time and time again.
    anyone with half a brain should be staying away from the quest 2. i know its new and shiny, buy come on guys. look a little closer would ya.



  13. Cricket England on October 18, 2020 at 4:32 pm

    And what do you know Linus the PS5 will outsell the Xbox and that’s a FACT YOU CAN TAKE TO THE BANK



  14. Proclaimor on October 18, 2020 at 4:32 pm

    Sure, use Chrome to watch internet porn with the oculus rift. The rest of your life you will get targeted advertisements for midget-sized kimonos and vacations to Tokyo’s red light district.
    I gave my nephews an Xbox one. Then I bought one an SUV for his 16th birthday and he said he wanted a Maserati, but at least it is “spacious.” I feel awful for buying American, really and truly awful let me tell you.



  15. pallenda on October 18, 2020 at 4:33 pm

    Google keep suggesting me to convert to youtube, but then say my youtube account is not eligible. 🤣



  16. Kavita Mudaliar on October 18, 2020 at 4:35 pm

    Not buying any of them…. the xbox series s is $500 here, series x and ps5 cost $700



  17. Bill on October 18, 2020 at 4:36 pm

    Facebook is the only reason i don’t have vr. So sad, as it could have helped me, but nope, guess that dream is dead now & i am stuck with my issues forever.



  18. Escapement & Watch on October 18, 2020 at 4:42 pm

    Firefox is way better then the memory hog chrome.



  19. Light Foot on October 18, 2020 at 4:42 pm

    Make your socket bigger 4:33, that’s what you call it



  20. Evangeliman on October 18, 2020 at 4:43 pm

    I hope Mark enjoyed watching me play beat saber for the forst time while sitting on the toilet…



  21. Shaun on October 18, 2020 at 4:46 pm

    Gamestop being encouraged to make themselves a defunct business?



  22. SamTheMan55555 on October 18, 2020 at 4:46 pm

    Lol the left is banning Qanon because they don’t want competition with their conspiracies lol. Q never called for violence, they are just afraid of their own shadow.



  23. crebegea on October 18, 2020 at 4:49 pm

    Guys, quit the off camera banter, I don’t know what you’re thinking. It’s lame, it’s dumb and pointless.



  24. Ceasius on October 18, 2020 at 4:49 pm

    I love that the CC picks up Linus as Lioness



  25. James on October 18, 2020 at 4:50 pm

    I’m happy to switch from Google Play music over to YouTube music, the only thing that has stopped me is that the doesn’t seem to be a "cast" button to cast to a speaker on wifi like a Sonos. GPM has it but YTM seems to not. Would love if anyone can prove me wrong



  26. Richie Sensei on October 18, 2020 at 4:52 pm

  27. asif mohammed on October 18, 2020 at 4:52 pm

    People who saw SAO seeing Oculus quest 2: Oh no!



  28. Charlton Blake on October 18, 2020 at 4:53 pm

    That’s right, Firefox is excellent!



  29. Speaker Of The Trees on October 18, 2020 at 4:55 pm

    Sony is predicted to sell more console because people are more likely to stay with their brand instead of starting all new on a different one.



  30. Just Reality on October 18, 2020 at 4:56 pm

    I am so glad that google is censoring and taking down content it does not agree with. By the way quit the BS, most of the channels are not promoting violence. They do lift the lid on rampant paedophilia murder and satanic activities though.
    Oh yeah, my bad Epstein killed himself, the royals and Margaret Thatcher didn’t know about Jimmy Saville, Sammy Danczuk Labour MP didn’t use parliamentary privilege to accuse Janner of raping and torturing children in the confines of parliament, Bill Gates didn’t go to Pedo Island, isn’t the biggest financial backer to the WHO and so on, nope all "conspiracy theories" well, they are theories inside the minds of those denying reality that is.



  31. Faith Fighter on October 18, 2020 at 4:58 pm

    I mean at least firefox isn’t backed by the disgusting sleazy corporation that is Google



  32. Roman on October 18, 2020 at 5:01 pm

    Next episode, playing Doom ON Linus’s deepfake



  33. Nolo Kobo on October 18, 2020 at 5:01 pm

    For the quest its not really about privacy for me but the fact that Facebook support is garbage. I don’t use Facebook but let’s say I make an account just for the Quest 2 They ban me when they do their yearly scrub of spam accounts. Now what?



  34. ChompChompNomNom on October 18, 2020 at 5:02 pm

    They’re sold out everywhere



  35. Cory Loven on October 18, 2020 at 5:03 pm

    What’s with the other dude talking in the background? I’m so distracted.



  36. Rhodium Movies MC on October 18, 2020 at 5:03 pm

    Why not report the real story about Qanon?



  37. Rodrigor Muniz on October 18, 2020 at 5:07 pm

    Title….



  38. Mario Robles on October 18, 2020 at 5:08 pm

    Y’all this is not deep fake linus, this is transparent tv dimension linus!



  39. TanerThanh on October 18, 2020 at 5:09 pm

    Good luck selling Sony, PlayStation!



  40. Scribby on October 18, 2020 at 5:10 pm

    Riley forgot to wear his glasses today.



  41. Chill n Space on October 18, 2020 at 5:11 pm

    How much did Reginator of Nintendo fame has a say in this?



  42. nicokim on October 18, 2020 at 5:13 pm

    stay calm its a commercial https://twitter.com/nicokim18?lang=en



  43. The Stick on October 18, 2020 at 5:15 pm

    Riley: Linus…
    Captionist: Lioness?



  44. kensyre on October 18, 2020 at 5:17 pm

    "Time for the buttplugs, brought to you by Vesi"



  45. TheCivildecay on October 18, 2020 at 5:19 pm

    "Don’t be evil" and Google? that goes as well together as "Be more tolerant" and Adolf Hitler.



  46. Lo on October 18, 2020 at 5:19 pm

    Firefox is actually pretty good for these two reasons:
    1) Less RAM being wasted while multitasking
    2) The mobile version can use ad-blocking extensions



  47. Stieli musterman on October 18, 2020 at 5:20 pm

    So YouTube joins Twitter and Facebook in becoming an anti-democratic censorship platform… GREAT



  48. Arie Wismoyo on October 18, 2020 at 5:20 pm

    Lioness is his new name?

    YouTube Caption is amazing as always



  49. Frankie Cuellar on October 18, 2020 at 5:21 pm

    Nice beard you don’t look like ellen anymore 🤔😂



  50. Michael Dougherty on October 18, 2020 at 5:21 pm

    Cool, just another reason to avoid Gamestop. I don’t care to give them life support off of online games. Although I really have to wonder how Microsoft would even intend to track which units are sold through Gamestop.
