Show notes
We are once again hostless this episode (no, Jordan didn’t take a nap this time) but our team soldiers on regardless. We kick open the episode talking to Mike, a.k.a. Just Brew It, the head TR Forum moderator. Scott and Mike discuss the much-anticipated TR BBQ in Holland, Michigan, including whether or not camping on the beach is a wise BBQ strategy.

Moving on to the rest of the episode, our team talks 60 FPS content on YouTube and Gearbox’s next original game. Then, Geoff explains the excellent Samsung 850 Pro SSD, followed by a hard-core mechanical keyboard showdown between Corsair and a contender from Rosewill. Finally, Scott overclocks both Intel’s Core i7-4790K and the Pentium G3258 “Anniversary Edition” processor and lives to tell about it.
