[@ChristianityExplained]

I am definitely enjoying this series. You are reminded me of an interesting story that I heard. A friend, who was the manager at Staples, told of an interesting encounter with a customer. "Something is wrong with my computer, the coffee holder doesn't work properly." It turned out the lady was putting her coffee cup on the CD tray. The inside of her computer was saturated with either soda or coffee. I would love to see this type of encounter in this game or you could top it, Paul.

[@davrowuk]

These videos are fun to watch, I especially like your comments where you compare what you did in real life to what happens in the game, please keep making them.

[@StalePhish]

Love it! I used to work in IT when I was in college and did some freelanding and now I build my own PCs when I need them. Looks like a great game

[@4funxMaddogx]

P. Sherman, You know from Nemo... :)

[@kevinnemo9509]

Maddog well at least we know where to send the pc back to

[@SILSKY]

[@an00bis82]

[@naneneunmalklug4032]

[@PyroFalkon]

Oh man, I wanted to watch these as they came out but I got crazy busy. Luckily now I can binge-watch them! Great video as always, PSJ!

[@dablue1488]

4:40 P. Sherman? Finding Nemo Reference

[@xenalover99]

for people who build computers this game is awesome!! for people wanting to learn how to build systems this is a great way to learn what parts are what and how to assemble them.just build my 1st computer today now i'm level 6.only con is the music which is ok but i worked around that by downloading winamp and making a music folder and dumping all my 80's music and 12 inch mixes into it,starting up winamp and loaded my music(make sure you set play to repeat) then running the game and turning off the music in the game.

[@jadenton6409]

Hey Paul I've been watching your vids for years and i love your vids!!!

[@PSJR]

Thanks! :)

[@Evergreen64]

Paul. The lighting control is for the case lights on the PC. You can install all kinds of LED case lights now. Even lights on RAM!

[@brandonbianchi3034]

Love these videos, really takes me back to the day. I literally left a piece of me in all the machines I built. (Big hands in small spaces with sharp metal edges don't mix.) Keep up these videos. I liked them so much I rushed over to steam and bought the game.

[@Greyfeather08]

Please I want to see more of it!! Super interesting and learning so much!!!

[@ostrichnoodles.]

Paul, please I beg you MAKE MORE

[@TheElectromancer64]

in all honesty i didn't even consider buying this before seeing your videos on it. now i got it, so yea... you make some awesome videos.

[@kingwja9133]

P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney......P. Sherman is the dentist from Nemo... :P

[@jarruiz99]

I'm loving these. Keep it up!

[@KachiAT]

Man, that bring some memories. I mean, I wasn't exactly in that sort of business, but I work few years ago in company that made 4-D cinema platforms. And I was in charge of building new computers for teh platforms and repairing the ones that was sent back then customers broke them. Never was their fault, obviously. Accidents, poor luck, misguided customers of our customers... Love and hate relationship for me, multiplicated by the fact that our OS of choice was freakin' XP, so I had like 10 identical computer component packs(PC block, CPU, RAM, 2xHDD nothing fancy, pretty cheap + some our inner specific stuff for controlling the platform) and there was always problems and they were always different, I hated it so much because of that, but it was fun in it's own way. Somewhat good money, too, for the sort of work I did.

[@3DPDK]

Trouble shooting: (A very long time ago): I have been a field service tech for commercial security systems, banking systems, even communication systems for U.P.I. Most customers will report something like "it's not working" or "something is broken" or more colorfully "it's f'd up". You can't do it in this game but the very first thing I would do when arriving at the client's was to ask things like "what was on the display?", "what indicator lights did you see?", "what noise (if applicable) did you hear and where did you hear it?" It's amazing how these little tidbits can narrow down the problem considerably, before taking out the first screw. Some shops include a "comment" section in the work order to include any of the customer's answers to these questions.

[@adamxue6096]

One time I was downloading mods for Terraria, and accidentally got a virus in my computer I ran like 3 virus scanners through and through, eventually I decided to just save the precious works and revert the entire thing. That didn't work, the virus actually made it impossible to do it casually, and I literally had to go ask help, took some while, finally got it fixed. Was not a fun experience. Yeah, some viruses are ridiculous...

[@Huffinator]

Lol, i was about to suggest this on steam when i remembered your old shop you had. and then i checked my notifications... how come every time i was about to suggest something the same day you come out with a video of it. ITS MAGIC Anyways very good video. 10/10 would watch again.

[@Jeriamy]

Is that P Sherman of 42 Wallaby Way Sydney?

[@Otakunopodcast]

Oh man this is bringing back some memories. I used to build all of my own PCs back in the day. This was way before Amazon or Newegg or any of those online businesses. I would actually buy my bits and pieces (gasp!) IN PERSON!! There used to be a traveling computer show that came to our town several times a year, where basically a bunch of vendors (mostly Chinese outfits) would set up tables and put out all their wares (complete systems, system parts like CPUs, motherboards, memory, hard drives, cases, etc.) as well as tons and tons of software -- some of which was actually legit! Being a starving student type on a real budget, I'd always go around to each and every table and see what they have and compare prices. Usually all of the vendors' prices were pretty close to each other, but every now and then you would find a better price on something at one of the tables; also some vendors were open to haggling and making deals. Good times, good times. I also used to have my own PC repair business too, except I was too poor to have a spiffy office, I operated out of my (not very spiffy) garage as well as on customers' premises. So yeah I've seen it all and I've done it all, everything from the really horribly disgustingly dirty computer, to the stupidly virus encrusted computer, and even finding, erm, "questionable" content, shall we say, on a person's machine while disinfecting or backing it up. (my policy was to just look the other way... and then run into the bathroom and wash out my eyeballs as soon as I handed the system back to the person) This is bringing back a lot of memories. Fun series!

[@RobLPMG02]

Nice, this is an interesting series, heh. That said...I'd honestly recommend that you just wait to order all of your parts until just before you end for the day. For that reason, it also kind of makes sense that you simply claim the money from finishing jobs and getting the new ones at the same time. You definitely wasted $30 by ordering them separately (though I get that that might be how you'd do it in the real world, heh) Looking forward to more, though. ^^

[@Etrehumain123]

I feel it's the kind of game you have fun the first days, and then you're tired of plugging the cables

[@sirMAXX77]

lol! "P. Sherman", a dentist. Nice Finding Nemo reference. I guess now we know where this takes place. Paul is in Australia. I would make the shop name some Australia slang somewhere in the name.

[@melker7548]

Please continue with this game!

[@fablemayrev]

Yasss I love This Series It's So Great Wen You do epizode! 🙂

[@MenelmacarGR]

The customers are doing the troubleshooting because it's early in the game. Later on, you'll have to do it yourself, and you'll also have to combine whole PCs from scratch. Not *that* difficult overall, but a bit more than this. :)

[@Bobbydog66]

23:08 I think that's rgb, the craze I just don't want to ever deal with when I eventually make a pc.

[@hapsti]

I lve the series please continue it!!!!

[@eatalittle]

Loving it!!

[@ADDmechanic]

If you could do a third one I would be very happy. Maybe compare the game pricing for parts and labor with your experience. I'd love to know how much I can rely on the info this game provides.

[@thebad300]

I live in BFE surrounded by farm fields so a monthly dusting is a must

[@Colrilu]

I cleaned my pc a couple days ago expecting noticable suat build up after not being opened since christmas last year, nothing... A quick blow out with computer cleaner and it looked no different lol

[@nolangarza1157]

If you build your own computer you should livestream or vlog it because it would be cool

[@briar5078]

Paul what computer are you buying cause I want to know so I can see if I want because I want to play all the fun games you play.

[@cocodojo]

But if he's watching Paul playing this, he'd get a general idea of how to build his own PC as the series goes along so... it's actually rather educational in a way.

[@jamieclarke3355]

Man look up on youtube a pc build if its your first one i recommend spending around 500

[@briar5078]

I know that, I was asking because Paul said he was going to buy a new computer because his was getting old. I wanted to look at the one he was going to get because I enjoy the games he plays and wanted to play those games as well.

[@Dragon_breeder]

When you will upload next surviving mars vid?

[@Huffinator]

He had pre-release so it gutted his save file so he has to restart. he will be resuming when he catches up to where he was before. said so on twitter a week or two ago

[@BishopJAC]

Love it

[@ilose21]

So i have a personal issue with my pc and that is it looks sort of like the dusty dirty PC. how often are we supposed to clean out the interior? also do you spray the compressed air on it inside or outside because i sprayed inside and learned all it is basically doing is making my room dusty as heck...

[@TheLimeGreenMan]

You should do a vlog when you build your new computer!

[@cassiebest4284]

Hi Paul good day and happy day.

[@Jeriamy]

It looks like you eat the cost of shipping because the email tells you how much you’ll be paid off the bat. Which means you paid $60 for shipping because you placed two separate orders. Ordering all your components in a single order at the end of the day is going to save you money. Also, as you level up cheaper or better parts may become available to you throughout the day.

[@WilliamDaviesDev]

when is the next ep out for this, i love it xdxdx

[@hedgeearthridge6807]

P. SHERMAN 42 WALLABY WAY SYDNEY

[@LJT7907]

Just wait till the customers want 3d benchmarks run... Its amusing the first time or 2.. then its slow and your counting the time waiting for it to be done... Also when you did the ram upgrade you missed the economy ram which is cheaper. I am enjoying the game though and bought it because of your lets play.

[@SILSKY]

This game is interesting me more than I expected. ...*weighing the idea of running my own PC repair business*

[@octopustrap4733]

When working with an old pc, do you still need an anti-static wristband? Thanks!

[@jzburda]

Yes. When working with any delicate electronics, you should wear a anti-static wristband. If you don't, you're running the chances of static overloading a part and burning it out.

[@eli6797]

3:20 kids today when they get their electronics taken away from them

[@GrimRepoManRs]

hey Paul, i noticed that you were making a teeny-weeny mistake to guarantee repeat custom....... you're leaving your virus scanning software installed on the customers computers, i'd gather that it would be the same as in real life if the customers don't know what they're doing and keep getting viruses then you are giving them the tools to fix it themselves at no cost. just a thaught :-) p.s. loving this and would love to see more in the series

[@Memtheturtle]

More!!

[@busywl69]

now you have folks out there claiming to fix a computer for $25. and people go to these folks.

[@TheT0nedude]

@14:51 you don't need to bother uncabling, just pick the pc up....edit:yup you noticed...

[@christinawenzel51]

Part 3!

[@lynnwilliams211]

There are light switches on the wall by your first desk in the game

[@wimslimbrouck5868]

Will the long dark ever come back?

[@Skizzy034]

Ugh, it's for controlling lights in the PC.. Btw, you can choose the delivery date.

[@owenr3265]

When will you do Ghost of a Tale?

[@TheKck74]

Hey Paul, are you going to play Sea of Thieves? Or are you a ps4 fanboy?

[@Frank_42]

I wonder if these people would kick themselves if they knew how moronically easy it is to replace a hard drive or graphics card. Sure, I'll give someone $500 to change a lightbulb. And $265 for a GTX 970? Looks like in this universe crypto mining never happened.

[@Pillock25]

I don't think you can on sell the cost of parts, so be careful what you buy and install.

[@ice_2_no190]

It been a MONTH since Unturned I thought that was your favorite game..

can u pls do more ghost of a tale

[@colecook4043]

Hey, I left a very sentimental comment on your cardboard play through. I was hoping you would read it and hopefully make a comment.

[@mtmaty1233]

Can you give me advice on my PC that randomly restart please

[@Minecraft101ToonLink]

I have the perfect solution! Did you try turning it off and turning it back on? But seriously, there’s like thousands of reasons why it could happening. Sorry, I can’t help.

[@mtmaty1233]

101ToonLink ok thanks i am suspecting it is my power supply but i am not sure

[@Minecraft101ToonLink]

Hmm. If it is a PSU problem, I’d probably buy another similar PSU with a similar wattage as the other one, just to test. And if it doesn’t work, then now you have a backup one in case it DOES fail in the future.

[@katarjin]

You use to run a PC repair shop?...that had to be "interesting" sometimes. (public school PC tech grunt here)

[@daemon8763]

[@miaskulecova6396]

Where is mars survival??

[@Huffinator]

He had pre-release so it gutted his save file so he has to restart. he will be resuming when he catches up to where he was before. said so on twitter a week or two ago

[@miaskulecova6396]

MajorCollinGaming yeah i know but 2 weeks and still nothing? Well he better have a reason xD

[@Huffinator]

andrej skulec probably because he still makes 1-2 videos a day that does not leave much time to play other games

[@miaskulecova6396]

MajorCollinGaming yeah you're right well we will just have to wait :)

[@AlexWheeler1]

No anti static wristbands??!!! Blasphemy!! Always use an ESD band so you dont nuke the RAM or something

[@Alexandrites]

i bet someone said it already, but couldn't he order a 4 ram and one 8 ram instead of 2 8 ram? I'm guessing that in the real world that wouldn't work cuz...reasons, but in the game it might right?

[@eltirick6550]

Wouldnt cuz of the brand, and mhz, and the number of gb In the game it does but in real life its risky

[@fico679]

Where is the notification? KZbin!!!!

[@Minecraft101ToonLink]

Your profile picture makes your comment 10 times more funny!

Yesterday I did a virus scanner and it scanner over 300k files and had more than 500 virus and rootkicks yeh this is what happens when u are cheap and try to get.games for free like gmod, arma, mowas2, and ravenfield

[@gewdtimez]

[@Emilio-xc3ti]

wtf dude.. ;d the tech guy working on my computer charges me only 10$ for cleaning it from viruses and checking all systems if they are running as they should be.

[@tungcarot8451]

Toi co lam 've tro choi nay ghe tham channel tui di

[@legion999]

120 bucks for a virus scan???

[@PSJR]

Yup, scan + removal. In many cases it was very time consuming, especially root kits and where system files had to be replaced, etc.

[@TheMISTERAMD]

I did it for family in the past for free and 1 time for some unknown family where virusscanner "DoctorWeb" found literally 52 different viruses. I travelled to their appartment and did what needed to be done. Always great to help others :-) Keep on going with this series, we all love it.
