This was my reaction.

@@ONEWONDERSHOW The game was ahead of its time. Kyle is an idiot for saying it was boring.

@@seahawk124 different people have different interest lol

No, it sucked. Just like everything else Peter Molyneux has ever touched. Fable sucked and Black and White sucked. I was there and I played them at the time and I thought they were both overhyped trash. I guess whoever had not been reading Molyneux's lies & bullshit for months and months beforehand maybe they just got the game and thought "this is amazing!" But for anybody who actually read the bullshit that Molyneux was claiming before the games came out, they were both an absolute fucking joke. And Fable 2 also sucks. The most overrated crap franchise of all time. Just like everything else Molyneux has done. Black and white was buggy and went nowhere. I remember being amazed for the first few hours and then saying okay this game has no interesting gameplay and it doesn't go anywhere and I put it away and regretted that I bought it.

@@gobbledygook5000 Yikes. It was basically an unpolished sandbox, but you come off like a really freaking weird Molyneux hater. Where did that man touch you?

@Gareth Tucker I think sound cards are pretty dead, but that's only because modern DACs and amps are so good now. To be fair though there are definitely instances where a sound card is the better option.

@Gareth Tucker EQ can be accomplished with software and a very good external DAC/Amp can be had for around $100. I use the ifi Zen DAC that cost just over $100 and offers performance a sound card can't even touch. I was conceding that edge cases exist for the use of a sound card, but 99% of the time the investment into a sound card could be better spent elsewhere. There is a reason the sound card market is nearly dead. Even the manufacturers know that sounds cards are breathing their last breath.

was thinking the same. back in the days, the connectors were all over place. Not like nowadays, where the 24 pins is located where the PSU is to be suspected. Quite often it was on the opposing side. The cases had no routing behind the back option. Manufactoring costs were also higher. A nice shroud to cover up the the power cable and connector on the mainboards southbridge? Extra dollars, not cents! For Assembly and manufaction, not retail price! But who cared? Pcs were boxes tugged under desk. Cable managment was only important for maintanance. if you frequently swap components. back then, a year old machines was replaced entirely and sold to 2nd hand. No one was gonna crack open it again after assembly. Maybe add more storage or ram, replace gpu, if at all.

Full respect to BitWit but he was literally a child. 99% of people who were into computing from 1982 - 2004 legitimately didn't care about the "aesthetics" of anything because the parts simply weren't being built. For a long time the only thing gamers cared about was performance because we didn't have tempered glass panels. It was really companies like Razer, Alienware, and Logitech that persisted with the "gamer" theme which led to improving case aesthetics. Before 2010 I'd say most people still just had standard ass PC cases except they might not have been beige anymore.

@@I2obiNtube There really was nothing to show in the days when the motherboard was some mash up of white, brown, blue and grey. Ram was just a bare stick along with GPU also being a bare green board, and a CPU heatsink and fan was probably shit brown too. It was all about having the best parts available over anything else, I remember having this grey and blue case with purple buttons somewhere in the early 00's and that was regarded as quite fancy at the time. Case windows and lighting was way way later. Even things as simple as that Alienware PC were expensive and regarded as quite obnoxious in design.

I got into pc building around 2003-4. Had an AMD 64 3400 and ati 9800 pro. 2 GB crucial memory. My case wasn't the best, Thermaltake with plexiglass. Moved to an Antec lanboy later.

@@jstaal7879 Minecraft rtx only effects lighting. Steve's hand doesn't look any more like lifelike than in normal minecraft. Minecraft is still made out of blocks

@@PsychoticBacon19 good lighting greatly adds to the realism factor. There's obviously some mechanics which can't be 100% exactly as the would be in real life, which is true for any game, but especially with raytracing, or raytracing like shaders, that I had mentioned, you're getting to be as close as you can to realism, with the sun's light casting down on everything, and the water having waves. If you did want to get rid of the blocks issue you were mentioning, at least on Java, you're able to run the no cubes mod on top of the advanced shaders. It's definitely an expirence that I'd recommend you try if possible, though you probably won't be getting the best FPS on it.

WASD goes waaaay back. That's how you navigated in the vi editor which came out in 1976. Back in those days most keyboards did not have arrow keys, that's how WASD came about.

@@ChristopherHailey vi used to be WASD? huh... wait, that gives me a thought what if gaming was HJKL?

@@OninDynamics Half Life 1 even had WSDA on default as the secondary move keys. I remember my brother, who was a very good CS 1.6 player preaching to me why I should use WSDA instead of the arrow keys in Half Life, hell I could reload and run at the same time! But tbh I think every game that required a mouse used WSDA already. You simply can't use the arrow keys, use your additional keys AND the mouse at the same time! (oh btw note, a scroll wheel was uncommon back in the day, so switching weapons also happened with the 1-9 keys). WSDA is just a perfect placement on the keyboard. Hell even people who have their mouse at the left side don't use the arrow keys, but the numpad instead (or apparently some Home, end, Delete and Page down) so they can hit other keys more effectively.

I always had WASD on my keyboard, but myself and 90% of people i knew only used the arrow keys lol

@@thundereagle4130 WASD did exist well before that point in time, but it wasn't super popular. My first heavy interactions with WASD was probably mid 90's with Descent/Doom/Duke Nukem. Descent being fully 3-d, and me not having a joystick - I remapped it to a two handed keyboard setup. I won a lot of lan party matches with that setup. Funny enough, I was running onboard sound and it wasn't backwards compatible. So I didn't have sound either. It really honked off the guy who insisted he was super competitive with the game when I kept kicking his butt, with a keyboard and no sound.

Stewart was known for that, as they had very tight time constraint due to being on national TV with only 30 minutes a week, and while annoying it helped keep the guest in check so they did not ramble on for too long, and it was even tighter in the 80's - mid 90's when they still did a weekly news segment at the end of the shows, and/or they cut to a another person who showed off some piece of software they found interesting that week.

Imagine if Computer Chronicles was rebooted today that would be so insane to watch RIP 1983 - 2002

Not at all, TV was so restricted on time back then. Watch any segment or interview back then, it's the same sort of format.

"We're not buying into your marketing gimmicks this time, Nvidia."

Old meme no it can be ran on modern potatoes at max settings

I can run Crysis and Crysis 3 at maximum settings, at 3440x1400, at over 100fps on my 3080. I know because I did so yesterday lol.

Must be the CGI version from Gemini Man.

Yeah, very surprised he's "tall" too.

It's mostly because games went from no sound to stereo in the 70s/80s, and then out of nowhere you went from 2.0 to 2.1, 4.1, 5.1, 7.1 over the span of maybe 5 years and everything just stopped moving again.

I had one of those. It's actually a Chieftec case if i remember correctly. I had a black one.

@@niklasniklasniklas1 Chieftec and Antec both made them. They came in every color, I had Gloss Black, Silver and White in 3 separate builds in the 2000s. Thermal take also made one that was like steel and orange with orange fans all over.

I wanted that alienware so bad back then. I remember looking on the falcon site and drooling at those PCs haha.

Back then that was indeed true.

@@CommodoreFan64 Still holds up today. PC2 is incredibly demanding. You can technically say the same about the upcoming GT game on PS5 too.

@@evolicious True, but not near as much as back then, because in the mid 90's - mid 00's it seemed like if you did not upgrade every few months you where really outdated, and some games just a year after you built your computer might not even run at all. after 08 stuff really started to slow down, to the point now even a 10 - 12 year old 4 core system with a 1/2 decent GPU, SSD, and at least 8GB of RAM can still game on many modern titles(I'm not saying great but 720p should be dueable in many titles), and is more then fine for most basic daily task the majority of people will do.

This is actually true for most hardcore racing sims. Asset to Corsa, iRacing, and nascar racing 2003 season are very intense on CPUs due to being much more physics based then graphics based in order to achieve the level of immersion and "feel" they create

@@CommodoreFan64 Hardware was not released that often.

I still have one in my Dell Dimension 4400 that I bought new back in 2001.

Zip drives were great until you got the click of death. I lost so many MP3s and programs thanks to that.

It was largely the business world that adopted Zip drives, probably because of price. Even if you got one, you couldn't bring their discs to your buddy's place because there was practically zero chance they had one. Without the widespread adoption it was kind of pointless outside personal use. Actually just got rid of a old company computer that was sitting around with a Zip drive in it.

@@kyleb2044 Yes, my stepmother who is a cpa bought one when they came out as a means to expand the saving capacity as opposed to a floppy.

Yes. I still have my gaming PC from 1999. I remember going to Babbage's to buy my Voodoo 3. Back when PC building and gaming were exciting.

Pretty sure he missed the Zoltar reference as well.

I'm 23 and I've played it. Excellent game

Nope im sure im younger than him and i played Blqck and White. One of the more memorable games in my early days!

How old is Kyle?! Idk enough of his story but I suppose if you were in middle school for the mid-2000s and got into gaming every CPU you've used has been multicore. I was talking with a buddy about this recently how we had laptops in college that were 2.x ghz and now a solid pc is only 3.x ghz BUT you've got 2-4 times the cores and most have multithreading. It's amazing how far the tech has come.

NVM he said he was a freshman in HS when this came out... He's older than I am, guess he spends so much time on so many new products some of that ancient tech slipped out of his memory.

This video just shows his lack of knowledge about early computing

@@JusticeGamingChannel Given the broad changes in applications/OS most of the pre-Windows XP information only holds rather niche value. Maybe he shouldn't be too snarky about old stuff, but I also wouldn't expect anyone who wasn't a professional at the time to be fully knowledgeable about it either.

@@acdvfb His tech age is around 3 or 4, as far as I can tell.

I still use one. I had to drill out the rivets for the 3.5" HDD mounts (which I haven't used in a decade) to make enough space for my 6900XT. I originally built it with PC Power and Cooling silencer fans back in the early 2000's, but a couple years ago I went through and replaced them all with noctua fans, which are even quieter (mainly because they support PWM)

Boob physics or gtfo

antec sx 1030 FTW!!

Had the big blue one too, they where THE enthusiast cases these days, had one with water cooling, triple 120, of course custom as there where none? AIOs.

Still got a blue, silver and black one ;)

Yes, but the first pc I built only 3 years after this (2004) had respectable integrated sound. I did eventually get a cheap card for it ~7 years later so it could stream Netflix in HD without stuttering, but 2001 was pretty close to the end for general/game use sound cards.

@@blueishgreen76 yup, agreed. I'm talking about the 80s and 90s mate. 👍

same here. this idiot mocks really amazing stuff for 2001 when some people did not even have a TV back then.

Bitwit does get hella annoying thinkin he knows everything. When he probably never played games from back then

Cant blame him tho. He's surrounds himself with top of the line tech and gadgets everyday in his office,he's too used to them that he cant just see old hardware without mocking them. I mean,compare the graphics of the games showcased here vs games like Cyberpunk. It's like having a fridge today. How would you ever keep your raw ingredients fresh without them 50 years ago.

@@bigdipper1578 so what ? if you're a billionaire you must mock people who have only 1 house ?

This was amazing stuff for the time. Why make fun of the people who helped pave the way for future gaming and cgi. You should be celebrating this video.
