What Happened to the Verge PC Guy? (Stefan Etienne)

A while back, the Verge's PC build was one of the most popular bandwagons to make a video on. It was a terrible PC build. But whatever happened to the builder himself after the videos stopped?

He screwed his reputation with confidence

[level]

I love how the internet just named him 'Verge pc guy'

[Arctic_silverstreak]

it was not anti static bracelet, it was live strong bracelet he was not fighting static he was fighting cancer

- LYLE

[annoyedok]

The VERGE really deserves more blame here. Someone else shot the video. Someone had to approve it. This was a sponsored video. Are the other staff at THE VERGE really this tech incompetent?Why would anyone get their tech information from The VERGE?

"Its still a better computer than probably what most of them have" - The man who short circuited the brick and the case

[jugglypiff]

I dare someone that looks like him to call someone a nerd.

“It’s a better computer than what most of them have”

This is the same guy who dumped a whole oil drum of thermal paste on the processor

Y'know I kinda felt sorry for the guy, he seemed uncomfortable, had a mild speech impediment, and I know how camera fright can make you mess up things. It was a sponsored video, and they probably wanted it done as quick as possible. After hearing him justify and downplay his mistakes and call his viewership "angry nerds" for pointing out costly and dangerous mistakes like not screwing everything in or potentially shorting your CPU, I have no pity for the guy. There's little more infuriating than the ignorant who refuse to learn and instead double-down on errors.

"It's a better computer then most of what they have"
It may be better but mines for sure gonna last longer lmao

[histatimaniples]

He is clearly a narcissist. Even when has completely made a fool of himself, he believes he is in the right.

[rryuki]

The most "racist" thing I saw in the reaction videos was an Asian man doing a stereotypical Chinese accent and making kinda racist jokes at his own race. Legit what are these guys on the verge talking about

[Nemesis.]

"I bUiLt A cOmPuTeR tHaT wOrKs" no, you built a bomb that will definitely work.

[jsprte]

“It’s not my FIRST computer” I wonder how THAT particular first PC build went

[Jack-jfgz]

Honestly if he just accepted his mistakes I'd understand, but it's just the fact that he's so arrogant and just so confident that he didn't do anything wrong/wasn't his fault. Like bro just accept you fucked up and move on lmao

"It's still a better computer than what most of them had"

Verge PC: GTX 1080 Ti, 6 core i7, 16 GB RAM at a slow 2666 MHz speed, awful cable management.

The PCs the critics had: RTX 2080 Ti, 12 Core Ryzen 9, 32 GB RAM at 3600 MHz, beautiful cable management with cool cable extensions.

[oftankoftan]

god, he sounds so full of himself. he's like the emobodiment of "WELL ACKSHHUALLY"

[airocety]

“A core i7 hexacore cpu, yeah we got one!!”
: Only available at every major retailer in the world

[adnvdn]

Man, imagine he had the maturity to just say he's sorry and regretted doing the video.
People would've just moved on and he wouldn't have become a meme like this.

[ptolemy]

I'll never forget the one part "He's not fighting static, he's fighting cancer" -Bitwit LOL

[dexterjettster]

And his “benchmark” games were games that you could run on a 10 year old laptop
