Intro to Hsinchu

[PLaris89]

were the roads confusing to navigate when you first got to Taiwan?

[merakhagen]

5:36, you just said the forbidden word..."country". Some Chinese will try to kick your rear (laugh)

[merakhagen]

3:57, (driving half in the motorcycle lane) typical Taiwanese driving culture.

[merakhagen]

There is a lot of lesbians in Hsinchu.

[snjolaugur]

that weather is kinda like the weather on Iceland

[9898983]

mg tf

[zamuriaz]

[nokia510036]

Welcome to Hsinchu!!!

I live in Jhongli but my hometown is Hsinchu =)

[MrMinhTFresh]

I think the car was the new mini cooper

[moham7ad]

[Vrublevskogo]

Anal history lol

[HelioDex]

Favorite line ever

[ShadowThalia]

I've seen a viper, (snake AND car)

[vycon88]

[JeroenLondon]

I'm from Holland, but I don't have a creditcard, how can I buy your series?

[ubsurdnerd]

love the ending XD

[1DARBY1]

the car is an mg convertable

[PrincessAutobot]

Come to Houston and you'll see a lot of exotic cars on a regular basis :)

[polliwog1030]

did you eat meatballs in Hsinchu ?

if not, you should take a try next time you go to there.

and there is a famous temple named 城隍廟.

that is nearby train station.

[Fuckingflesheater]

It's okay M13. I thought it was a Viper to.

[ichigolo]

m13 u lyer!!! u ran by a whore house and had ur way!!! i know it!!!! hahaha just kidding

[docsharp00]

actually it is really riche because of the semiconductor industry, my customers. :)

[docsharp00]

Hsinchu is really cool actually, I love there, went 2 times for business, but I know already some good places and I hhave some good friends!!!

go to Götheburg dance club! people are really cool there! 1 2 3 restauurant also!

[cheeserollinger12345]

I thought it was a viper too!!

[bv90andy]

You can stop using the camera after it freezes and recover the video on the pc. But you would have to stop using it until you get home... Which isn't very useful...

[yamahonkawazuki]

moment of anal history that went out the ass end of that camera along with the recording Eh?

[clamchowderlol]

In San Francisco, it's less than 10 miles across. It can be raining in only one district (which is approximately 2 miles) and you could literally stand in the borderline of rain and shine. It's not uncommon to look up at the sky and see it sunny and blue skied in the East and cloudy and foggy in the West.

[coverton341]

@clamchowderlol And we also get those neat little micro-climates where it will be 78 degrees on one street and then two streets over it will be 54 degrees. Gotta love schizophrenic weather.

[FabrezeFRESH]

@13mordeth come visit me and ill let you record a series in a viper acr.

[Kennykid2002]

How did I know "I like firsts" would lead to a sexual innuendo?

[mustang6172]

What is this truck at 7:06? Fire pr police?

[agskater1914]

Lol, love the video M13

[killercat724]

Do people ever give you weird looks while you talk randomly while driving your motorcylce

[Valtyful]

it wasn't a Miata, it was an MG Rover Cabriolet...

[zomgpow]

Got to love tropical climates man. I love it when I see rain like, even 100 metres ahead of me, I can turn around and avoid it.

[Valtyful]

HOW ON EARTH DO YOU FIT A POCKET VIDEO CAMERA inside YOUR HELMET?? NO WAY!!!

[gfhandel]

Hsinchu (the Chinese characters read as "New Bamboo"). I wonder how the town's founders came up with that name?

[amritg187]

@13mordeth my neighbor owns a dodge viper srt10 he starts it every morning its soo loud but i dont mind it :P

[edboytrilla]

awesome vids! from florida

[fastboatster]

can you lane-split in taiwan? I've noticed you don't filter forward a lot. what is that narrow lane on the right, is it some sort of motorcycle lane?

[RedLifeBenfica]

"that guy got his helmet same colour as his shirt.... ........ ....this guy must be gay!" hahahahahahhahahHAHAHAHAHAHHAA­HAHAHAH your hilarious man, so hilarious...

[dontkickdababy]

Before you said you thought it was a viper, I thought you thought it was a viper.

[dontkickdababy]

BEST INTRO EVER

[Dogfacerawr]

"I've only been there 5 times in my life" .... except for the 5 times I went today trying to film this piece of shit!

[legr8est1234]

OK, on the subject of anal, I have a somewhat...cultural question. Is your wife (or perhaps Asian women in general; speak from experience) sexually progressive? Are they open to "kinky" or somewhat non-vanilla stuff, or are they disappointingly conservative?

[moomoodeadcow]

Stop at a betel nut station and buy a water to check out the chicks.

[samuel005]

Glad to see your video are getting more and more views !

[TheMacShake]

have you done a video on how to motovlog

[MrMetalfor666]

dude buy gopro hero HD 2 i got one and u get amazing video from it. isent the cheepest but worth it. i had my first gopro for 3 years ago and it still works great.

[sfmex]

711!!!... 5:00

[sonnyman2000]

ey mordetho! im probably going to get those private series when i get my payment.. how much do i have to donate to get all of them? :)

[arsenedevos]

the end was an act =p

[cp4781]

mordeth ride your scoooooter!

[modestmex]

Lol anal history.

[holzmant]

People make more money in Hsinchu cause it's the silicon valley equivalent of Taiwan

[jack9938]

i knew you'd say viper... lol i know you too well

[masterquadbiker]

do you still drive your moped?

[13mordeth]

@masterquadbiker I think you mean scooter. And yeah, I ride my scooters 30x more than my motorcycle.....I just don't film on them as often.

[leafrunner123]

@13mordeth why?

[Valtyful]

@13mordeth dump your scooter, and get yourself the Vespa GTS 300 :P 

[MrJus7as]

@13mordeth the car you saw at 4:05 was MG MGF , i think..

[byma99]

Get a GoPro Hero2

[oi565]

Taiwan may be small country but its population is not so small. The country where I live is about 10 times bigger but Taiwan's population is about 5 times bigger.

[aegisfate117]

Look at the cars parked at 1:30. How in the hell can they get out. There's no way they can have a good view of the oncoming traffic.

[MrDemino]

"Moment of anal history that just got lost." Word, bro.

[OlliTheKing95]

Are you still going to upgrade your old scooter =D would be fun to see you racing in the private series with a 2 stroke mosquito sound scooter =)

[wolfboy0723]

I was deeply saddened when you neverminded the idea that you were going to the lesbian orgy :(

[2strokee]

O yea When r u doin ur tours again man im fuckin comin to take that shit hahaha sounds like a blast

[2strokee]

What kind of licence do u need to ride a bike in Taiwan M13 or anyone else?Can u just hop on a scooter and ride?If not what are the chances of getting caught riding

[SwagSanity]

i kinda does look lik a viper

[jsnprofessor]

lots of nice games came out recently do some vid on that

[hazardousgamer]

your son is going to watch these some day and be like "wtf dad.."

[plym0uth2]

whats the best series to buy people ? thanks

[13mordeth]

@plym0uth2 The 2010 series is the longest. And the 2011 is being uploaded to regularly.

[plym0uth2]

@13mordeth ok. ill go for the 2011 series then i guess. ill put a check in my bank. but it will take a few days to clear.

[Onlymanolos]

@plym0uth2 Once you buy one, you will find yourself needing to buy all of them. Trust me, they are addictive.

[HostileHST]

Sometimes a bad memory card or internal memory can cause issues. Try formatting the memory and hope for the best, it's solved many issues for me in the past. Wish ya luck M13!

[manoftim]

I know for sure that the car at 4:07 was an MG TF, and not a dodge viper, but still good guess, I think that you thought it was a dodge viper becaus of the stripes:P

[VinylicRook]

Pretty sure the car at 4:07 was an MG TF.

[123someting]

M13 why u no have Supermoto

[doemijmaareenblonde]

Sucks to have a freeze-up when recording. The car you were thinking it was a Viper or Miata, was actually a MG (major garbage^^.... J/k)

[ozwerks]

Harry is frustrated that wife Wendy won't let him slip it in the back door, so he explains to her about all the famous people who made up the annals of history.

[13mordeth]

@ozwerks lol, good one.

[bank0fengland]

viper??? menawhat? its a discontinued rover with racing stripes

[andreasdelibasis]

hey m13 do you make money from this videos ? if yes i think that good ! :)

i am not trolling just asking

[70chevelle8]

@andreasdelibasis Anytime there are ads on the video's, either text ads or video ads, the person gets paid for them. You only get paid for the text ads when someone clicks on it though. Im not sure when you get paid for the video ads.

[andreasdelibasis]

@70chevelle8 Tanks bro, so how much do he get paid for one view do you know?

[70chevelle8]

@andreasdelibasis idk, I just have text ads. For a text ad i get paid between 10 cents and 1 dollar for a click.

[sa99198]

Hsinchu is very danger

[cybervand]

I'm not advertising or anything ....it's just that my dad has owned panasonic cameras over the years and never once had to send them to be repaired...when getting my first DSLR I struggled between canon and nikon...but got the GH2 and its amazing...both canon and nikon have problems with overheating when recording HD and I suspect that could be your problem

[cybervand]

might I recommend the panasonic DMC-ts10/ft10. It's small enough to fit in your helmet and shock proof for riding over bumps and stuff....not to mention water proof....

[ParsnipsandKetchup]

I thought it was a viper too.

[MattLoaf92]

I knew you thought it was a Viper, only an MG though.

[lwkleijn]

4:08 it's a MG

[brnrubber303]

Don't sweat it M13. I thought it was a viper at first too :p

[jimbo80982]

@13mordeth "Ive been invited to a lesbian orgy , they said i can fil , ill upload it to the private series... just kidding"

you make me sad , mordeth... you make me sad...

[zulu89delta]

It's an MG TF.

Strange to see one anywhere other than the UK.

Hairdressers car.

[skwegisnotmyrealname]

Looks like an MG :)

[LittleMikeStarCraft]

I thought it was a viper too--- and before you said what kind of car it was, I rewinded..

And then laughed, when you said you thought it was a viper.

[ChickinSammichMan]

That car is some sort of MG.

[W1LDwanderer]

M13, there's a reason you thought that was a Viper, that's the American racing colors, blue with white stripes. You see that on Mustangs, and Vipers a lot. Italians use red (Rosso Corsa) on Ferraris and Ducatis, and English use olive green, which you see a lot on Lotus and MG. It's tradition that dates back to the early 20th century.

[AznVamp24]

Actually, you should find a way to take that Sony camera in the iPhone 4S and set it up in a more efficient way in your helmet. :]

[AznVamp24]

replace your camera with a smartphone. :p

[TheCrazymook]

What camera do you use?

[welshray1]

the car was an

MG

[MastaKadaj]

I thought it was a Viper, too. I used to see them all the time back when I was living in Houston. But now I only see those cars and the racing stripes throw me off, haha.

[Tunerboy8732]

I see Vipers almost everyday where I live.

[00razze]

@Tunerboy8732 where do you live?

[USDMcat]

Also, the racing stripes on that Mr2 definitely could make it look like a Viper. I have the eyesight of a potato as well, so I feel your pain M13

[AnDr3wSchlosser]

GoPro?

[irritatedseabass]

It was a MGF, i have one myself :P Only i don't have the cool go-faster racing viper stripe down it :p

[chipstheninja]

2:50 Did that guy just cut in front of everyone?

[Bulgdoom]

We call these pocket cameras "sapunerki" (soapies) over here since they look like a bar of soap haha

[DirtyMexican36]

1:36 is that a ladder or a chair??

[drewfrue]

@DirtyMexican36 a ladder, small

[superdau]

I hope you'll never get a "real" helmet cam. Watching videos from cams mounted to the side of the helmet always feel like watching from the passenger seat. And for some reason, even when they have an extra mic the audio sucks on them. Keep this style please!

[thegeni3]

"It's a moment of anal history that just lost" lol

[Nosloveingneko]

That was a small MG roadster. They have them everywhere here in England.

[yujiosHERO]

Hey, can someone tell me what this guys upload pattern is? or is it just random times?

[fishcrazy104]

@yujiosHERO

its perfect

[13mordeth]

@yujiosHERO I try to upload daily. I either upload early morning or late at night. But depending on the size of the video it takes a while to upload and code. So I'd guess that they go "online" around 12am or 12pm my time. And that would be 12pm or 12am inversely your time. But the main point is that I upload daily. So if you check my channel at any given time regularly then you should see a new video every day. And thanks for caring enough to ask.

[yujiosHERO]

@13mordeth Ok cool, so part two of Hsinchu comes out tomorrow?

[BlinginTom]

hey I thought that was a viper too lol

[cashstore1]

A friend of mine owned a Viper. They where somewhat common in the Detroit metro area.

[MechRider89]

dont get a go pro!! i regret getting mine, there's a way better camera for the same price its called the Drift HD......this is directed at anyone wanting a go pro.

Hey M13 is that ghost hotel still around? I wouldn't mind a video of that again. Nice mini at 6:20

[13mordeth]

@MechRider89 Oddly enough I just uploaded some ghost hotel footage to my 2011 private series about 2 days ago.

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

@13mordeth

Wait how much is your private series again? and how can i pay?

[USDMcat]

@13mordeth Spooky :O

Thanks for putting so much effort into your hobby. You might like the gopro, but it has a pretty funky mic that captures at certain datarates, don't know how well it would perform in your helmet. If it's possible, see if you can borrow one or...

NEW VIDEO IDEA:

Walk into a retail store that sells GoPros wearing full gear, ask if you can use a GoPro, and put it in your helmet/close it and start screaming and dancing around.

Or you know, whatever.

[MrSlowestD16]

@USDMcat look at the gopro2 - they mitigated the problem by providing an 1/8" audio aux jack.

[MetalHeadKLR650]

@MechRider89 The people with GoPro's say the same thing about the Drifts.

[SgtRevan]

@MechRider89 Why is the GoPro bad?

[MrSlowestD16]

@SgtRevan Probably the audio issues...not too great at audio b/c the speaker is behind the case, so it only gets reverberated noise..that and it's a cheap mic to begin with. Check out the 2nd, considering buying one for christmas :-D

[onteamplanb]

@MechRider89 if I may ask, what do you not like about the go pro?

[mrsimme20]

@MechRider89 i can agree that he shouldent get a go pro hd 960 hero. but what he should get is an go pro hd2 . not a drift hd thats as good as the go pro hd 960 hero.

[MrSlowestD16]

@MechRider89 The gopro is great, the only thing that's bad about it is the audio...which as gopro has listened to peoples' issues, in the gopro 2, they put in an aux audio jack. I'm def. considering buying one. Not sure if the aux in is worth the extra 100 dollars I'd have to spend...but I mean shit, 48 FPS at 960p, or 1080p recording at 30fps? Then 60fps for 720 and lower? It's crazy good, I've used my friend's a few times on my bike.

[sgtmarkins]

@MechRider89 I differ in this call.. I own the Replay XD1080, GoPro Hd(two of them), GoPro HD2, Drift Hd170, and Contour Hd... The Drift has been sent back three times for crazy issues. From corrupting files to just not turning on.. The GoPros on the other hand have not let me down. The Replay XD has also been good. But only time will tell.

[topeak]

@MechRider89 i gotta say that i saw a video on another channel saying that the Drift HD is a complete peice of shit, i cant say first hand because i dont own one, but i was thinking about the go pro myself

[MechRider89]

@topeak one of my friends got a drift hd and he loves it, the video quality is pretty much the same between the go pro and drift hd but the reason I say get the drift is for the same price as the Go Pro moto sport (which I have) you get more with the Drift, plus the same quality video. Could you give me the link to the video?

[topeak]

@MechRider89 yo man, link /watch?v=mQMXlumPYcs :D

[Sil3ntGamer]

Your not the only one that though it was a Viper.... :(

[ecookman]

6:38 - thats what she said

[OriginalTessaMessa]

Whaa!  My Mother grew up in Hsinchu! Lookin' forward to this.

[DihLSR]

"anal history" as weird as it may sound like I heard that somewhere before not so long ago...

[XxFlashTuTorialsxX]

GOPRO!

[PearlshippingDriftTV]

@ilIustration

No his camera set up is perfect because it's inside his helmet thus you get almost zero wind noise and hear him perfectly

[cannedshoes]

@PearlshippingDriftTV Maybe there's some GoPro that goes in your helmet. Probably not, though.

[ecookman]

@PearlshippingDriftTV watch downshift83's vids with his HD170 and mic set up

[MrSlowestD16]

@PearlshippingDriftTV I wish to god he'd show is cam setup. He's talked briefly about it, but he refuses to tell people about the camera b/c he doesn't want to endorse one in specific, and he doesn't want to get specific about the setup :'(. Makes me very sad...his camera setup is legendary...

[PearlshippingDriftTV]

@MrSlowestD16

There is a whole video on the set up. I believe his words are it's just any regular 80$ digicamera that can be found anywhere.

[MrSlowestD16]

@PearlshippingDriftTV I missed the pat about the sony or kodak mics being best. Though I still don't get how the hell the lens manages to be ABOVE the face...all the cameras I see have a physical zoom, and the lens is typically center. Also, I was curious about the voice sounding like shit issue, but I guess that his comment about sony & kodak cleared that up.

[merali92]

the cartman quote, OH MY GOD <3

[poopballoon]

hey whoa, I live in Hsinchu. 

[Kiyl24]

Press 9. Repeatedly.

[13radz]

tisk tisk was a subaru not a bmw XD + 4:07 is an mg rover tf i think

[dublinbikers84]

think that car was a MG

[InfectedByZanza]

Most of Asian girls doesnt like white boys :/

[iFYMxDRKNSFALLS]

@InfectedByZanza how about Hispanics?

[MargaritasAntesPorco]

@InfectedByZanza why do you say that? what is your evidence? and WHICH "asians" are you talking about? there seem to be many asian girls dating white guys where i'm at...

[InfectedByZanza]

@MargaritasAntesPorco I live in England soo yeah ... Where do you live?

[MargaritasAntesPorco]

@InfectedByZanza in England i notice many people refer to Indians and Pakistani's as asians...cuz theres not that many east asians there...so i guess thats whom you meant. In just about any big city in USA you could see east asian women with white guys. Vancouver and S.F. are examples

[InfectedByZanza]

@MargaritasAntesPorco Yeah, people in England call them ''Chinese'' even if they are from Vietnam

[KeriNyx]

.... I'm sorry you lost your moment of anal history. ^^;

[superiorevil]

Wheres the lesbian orgy?

[kozes]

haha, the imitation of cartman was pretty good.

[KINGCALLO]

What's fuckin up m13 :)

[XSVpaintball28]

Maybe your camera doesn't like what you're saying...

[AcousticAJG]

Nice vid :D

[tinit5190]

@13Mordeth Why don't you get the new Gopro? Or would that be a bitch to get set up on the helmet?

@tinit5190 He could use the suction cup mount and use a mic to talk into
