Haha, I remember the original thread from last year. Knew exactly what this was when I read the title.

 

[Dicer]

i know, right? working on it

EDIT

Nice work, now if we could only get back animated avatars...

I've got to stop.

Is MSI the only company that still does this sort of PR for their products on the PC side?

The videos are stupid of course, but I really don't understand this blanket trigger warning thing. If you have any issues with anything at all you aren't supposed to open the thread? I'm too old an confused for the internet anymore.

 

[General Zechs]

Lmao, that was hilarious.

Edit: The video doesn't even mention thermal compound.

Edit 2: It was mentioned before. I'm slow.

 

[Crash Station]

Honestly not seeing the cringe here. It's just a bad tutorial/PR video with an actress and bad dubbing.

Though maybe my standards for cringe have just gone way up since that fuckin foam video.

I don't know what this trigger business is either, but seems to be for sensitive people.

Is that the one where two girls go to the foam store and begin squealing like caffeinated puppies?

 

[lukeskymac]

It's acceptable to joke about trigger warnings in thread titles on GAF now?

They're completely useless, joking about them is the only thing you should do.

MSI hears your concerns and has released a second version with more gamer cred.

Still the king of cringe!

 

[KiraXD]

The way she says "Saw-tuh" cable irks me. Is that really the way people say it?

I go between "Sah-tuh" like how most people say DATA or "Say-tuh" like DATA in Star Trek.

lol i said the same thing...

Sat-uh is how ive always said it... Saw-duh is just weird...

I wonder who the hell does their PR. Who sits there and gets excited about building a computer after watching that bullshit. I'll never buy from this company. Ever.

Oh, come off it. I've never had a problem with MSI products before. These videos are very much tongue-in-cheek.

 

[HarryKS]

They keep saying it's easy.

It's not.


Saying it doesn't make it so.

 

[theangrypirate]

meh, not THAT bad...

As a software engineer, most people in my field cringe when people say Data like 'datta'. Data pronounced 'dayta' is the preferred pronunciation.

Maybe I should just say fuck it, pass the gradual transition to plaid shorts with a tucked in polo shirt, and go directly to drinking at 10am.

 

[kirby_fox]

Why did the dub over her voice?

You can tell it's not her talking in this and it really bothers me...or that they had to scrap all of her lines from the initial shoot and then dubbed over them really poorly (they do this in TV shows sometimes and you can tell if you listen carefully. It's usually because they did a crap job in one scene and it's easier to dub over than anything else.)

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

There's a bomb defuser in everyone.

I say DATA as Day-tuh
I say SATA as Sat-uh






i say GIF as JIF... >_>

Perhaps because the intent was to make something that can be cross-region pretty easily? I'm not entirely sure, but the video with that lovely Taiwanese lady seems to indicate as much.

 

[Hasney]

Edit: The video doesn't even mention thermal compound.

The CPU cooler it comes with has it on I believe.

The difference is that the Taiwanese lady isn't speaking English in her video. The OP video was speaking English, because the mouth lines up with the wording. And she still has a slight accent in the dub, so it's not like they were afraid people couldn't understand her.

It's like they shot the whole thing and decided it would be easier if they just dubbed over her voice because it was bad or they shot it so poorly with audio that they had to redo the audio.

 

[Hyperzephyrian]

i say GIF as JIF... >_>

But that's heresy.

 

[jett]

I believe this has been posted before. Anyway, I love the shitty Sega arcade game quality voice over, for reasons.

Lmao this is amazing

 

[Mr. Giggles]

I think I saw this a couple of years back, this is not new. Also, excuse me while I go puke.

Yea, this is old as fuck OP.

 

[Jobbs]

i say GIF as JIF... >_>

You mean you say it the empirically correct way? Me too.

 

[Hazaro]

3 seconds in and I knew it was an MSI ad

wow..im not a big fan of the "everything is sexist" crowd but goddamn these ads are sexist as hell

 

[Hyperzephyrian]

Villains, both of you.

 

[TatteredHat]

Is this the sequel to that Mooncrest pilot? Because it's doing its best to reach the same levels of cringe-worthiness.

 

[hurricanes]

Remind me to never buy anything from MSI.

 

[jakonovski]

I was gonna ask left or right trigger, but then I realized she's building a pc.

 

[Luminaire]

Why is no one talking about her voice? She has the voice of every tutorial lady ever. This is corny, but her voice is perfect for it.

She sounds like someones mom from a childrens cartoon.

 

[Onyar]

I love her perfectly synchronized voice.

 

[theangrypirate]

I say DATA as Day-tuh
I say SATA as Sat-uh






i say GIF as JIF... >_>

I too say GIF as JIF, I believe we are correct, but most of my coworkers ridicule me for that one.

 

[Arlen777]

Cheesy but funny

 

[Kinyou]

Trigger warnings are problematic.

Don't go all toxic on this thread

 

[Shaanyboi]

Oh my god, the bad ADR is fucking amazing.

 

[Coffee Dog]

It's always a fun reality check when someone says they're a hardcore gamer and it cuts to battlefield of all things

 

[lazyguy]

Even in the gameplay segment the player shoots a squad mate holy crap they did nothing right.

 

[depths20XX]

She's actually hardcore guys, she's in my CS:GO clan. Her voice sounds just like that. Stop doing sexism please.

 

[wildfire]

Tell her to buy a sound card and stop passing her cheap microphone through the integrated sound

 

[Loxley]

Still the king of cringe!

First thing I thought of.

 

[chaobreaker]

Wow.



This just ruined my day, and I think I am now terminally ill.


How did this happen?

I see what you did there.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Still the king of cringe!

Every word oozes whining

 

[A Link to the Past]

Awful but this kind of videos have a point: if don't want / can't assemble your own pc, your an imbecile. xD

Damn she's cute.

I don't want to do it because it gives me anxiety to be dealing with expensive parts like that. There's no level of simplicity that takes that out of the equation. Not wanting to do something isn't related to intelligence.
