Easy Solution to the "Gaming/Hardware" Portion of The Tek

Guise!

Why don't you just keep doing the show like you have been but put a jumper link/annotation up in the first few minutes of the The Tek that people can click and takes the to the correct minute mark when the Gaming/Hardware portion begins. In the last episode (0104) you went back to just one video and Logan mentioned that the Gaming half was more positive and a nice escape from all the downer news that tends to come with the 1st half, and I 100% agree. That is a VERY good reason to keep two halves in one show. It provides excellent balance, and for me personally makes me look forward to the next episode every time.

If you're dead set on splitting the two portions I feel your pain when trying to come up with a different name for the Gaming/Hardware half, but "The Tek" is just perfect for it. I would change the name of the 1st half instead. Here are some ideas for both halves. Pick one, pick two, or pick none. Whatever float your boat billy goat!

[1st Half - Net Neutrality/Political stuff]

  • Syndicate Talk    (kinda barf worthy right?)
  • Syndicate News
  • Net Syndicate
  • Tek Neutral     (my favorite)
  • Tek World
  • World Tek
  • Tek Net
  • Tek Trek     (lulz... Wendell better vote for this)
  • The Tek Age    (R U RDY FOR TEKAGE!?)


[2nd Half - Gaming/Hardware]

  • Tek Talk     (Insert Metallica joke here)
  • Hard Tek    
  • HardWired
  • Hard Mode    (Get it? Cuz Hardware and Gaming on... hard... nvm)
  • Tek Gaming
  • Tek MKII
  • Hard Wears & Floppy Games

I could keep going... but I wont. If were up to me I'd do as I outlined in the beginning of this post. 2nd choice would be "The Tek" for Game/Hardware, and "Tek Neutral" for the other stuff.

<3 you guys, Been watching you every week for well over a year now (way better than Linus, lulz) Keep up the good work. I will become a member of Tek Support  as soon as I'm not broke anymore, which should be soon!

I'll repeat my name idea here that I had previously posted on a random youtube comment.

Teknology, or any variant such as TEKnology, or Tek-nology, etc.

And for science.. don't really know if it's any good but.. SciTEK, or some variety of it. I don't really think it's needed though.

I think I prefer something more.. simple? [No need to clutter 'Tek' everywhere in the title] So something like..

Teknology, Science & Gaming #042

I think that "The Tek" should remain with the other stuff, basically it's whatever the hell they wanna talk or rant about.

[Edit]

Although, I thought more about what imaximus was saying, and "The Tek" does go really good with the Hardware Gaming and Science stuff too..

Since the other stuff seems to fall more under the normal news related stuff but with a focus on technology, [IE*, x, y, z is political news that effects us using technology a, b, c.. or w/e], you could do something more newsy, like 'Tek World', as suggested above, or 'Tek World News'.

Really though.. anything other than just.. "The Tek" for that stuff feels... weird to me. I mean, you take away the hardware, etc. And what you're left with is you guys, you are "The Tek" so.. it would just feel... weird(to me).

*IE does not refer to the glue eating browser

Hey, I REALLY like "Tek World"  dunno why I didn't think of that. I think that has my vote. Now excuse me while I go lobby Logan because votes don't matter.

I'll repeat what I said in the comments section a while ago.  Upload one single big, hour+ long Tek and call it: The Tek 0105: Not Another PAX Video (or whatever).  Then break up the different sections and upload those as well as separate, shorter videos.  Just call them: The Tek 0105: Hardware, The Tek 0105: Science, The Tek: 0105: Gaming etc. and upload them all at once.

That way, everyone who wants to watch The Tek in it's entirety can do so, and those who only want certain sections can just watch those specific videos.  No need to skip around.  No complaining from those who download the videos for later viewing (or listening).  Probably the easiest way to please everyone with the least amount of work.

I agree with Whiskey Ranger but it may be a problem for them with their advertising possibly I dont know how that all works on you tube.
