1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,320
We have seven hours to transform this badminton club into a 250-seat LAN gaming event.

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:11,760
They got the floor protectors rolled out this morning, but, uh, good lord, is there ever a lot to do?

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,320
Yeah, well, we better get moving. We gotta set up the stage. We gotta set up an LED screen.

4
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,920
We have to do the whole VIP area and the networking and power loadout. It's not done at all.

5
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,520
Oh, lordy, I see what you mean. Put me in, coach. What can I do?

6
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:28,600
Take the bins. Okay, but I really don't know how we're gonna get from this to this

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,040
in just now six and a half hours.

8
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,440
Thankfully, at least on the network security side, we'll have some help from our friends at Threat Locker,

9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,560
because here's the thing, when you're inviting 250 of your closest gaming nerd friends,

10
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,400
you never know what kind of crud they're gonna drag into your network with them.

11
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:50,680
Threat Locker's Defense Against Configurations dashboard provides you with a clear overview of your network configuration

12
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:58,760
and how well it complies or deviates from proven security standards like NIST, CIS, or ISO 27001.

13
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,520
If you aren't familiar with those, Threat Locker will provide you with step-by-step guidance.

14
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,680
First thing we need to load over from the storage unit is our bolted-together, literally,

15
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:12,360
power distribution and networking boxes, along with all of the systems for our whale attendees,

16
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,480
as well as our 8V8 gaming system.

17
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:22,560
All right, let's go. There's nobody in the driver's seat. Each of our power and networking boxes gets one of these whips, which we thoughtfully

18
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,960
configured so that they will land exactly where each of our stations are.

19
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:30,520
Unfortunately, we thoughtfully didn't label the lengths. Nope.

20
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:36,000
It's ludicrous overkill, but every seat in this row is going to get a 10 gigabit uplink

21
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,440
thanks to this USW Pro XG switch from Ubiquiti, which they may actually be able to use

22
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:48,080
thanks to our on-site steam caching server. Of course, that relies on every gamer having a solid uplink to the server room upstairs.

23
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,840
We didn't get our 25 gig SFPs in time, but we will have a 10 gig uplink

24
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,240
with the ability to upgrade in the future. Yo, AJ, I don't see a power plug for the stage.

25
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,760
You know we're going to have the big LED display, right?

26
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,400
It uses like a couple thousand watts.

27
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,120
We don't. We don't have power here, man. You told me before we started this shot that you had a plan.

28
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,680
We're going to try to steal power from this, technically,

29
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,400
but how many watts does that take? A couple thousand.

30
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,080
A couple thousand? Are you sitting on all the prizes? I'm sitting on my sadness.

31
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,960
Shout out Corsair and V1Tech at the very least, I guess, though.

32
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:31,600
Thanks for the prizes. Okay, we really do need to figure this out. The good news is even if we do exceed our power budget and trip the breaker,

33
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:38,320
we'll know exactly how it happened. We've installed power monitoring on all of the circuits or the 50 amps.

34
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,560
Technically, I have an app with the Emporia view that is right here.

35
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,000
It's monitoring all the individual circuit and also the main feed.

36
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,280
So I can know exactly how many amps everything is drawing.

37
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,520
Am I helping? Ah, not really. Ah!

38
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,440
Here comes the LED wall. Best purchase I made this year.

39
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:05,280
Look, Simba. Everything the light touches is our gaming party.

40
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:12,160
We're rolling out our new and updated steam cache, which is basically the same steam cache, but less obtuse to manage.

41
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:18,160
Thanks, Pankrats. For its connection, it uses two bonded 100 gigabit per second links,

42
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,640
but it is worth noting that it's plugged into an 8x PCIe slot,

43
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:26,720
so we're limited to about 120 gigabit per second total.

44
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,440
I'm so sorry, gamers. Alex is going to start building our screen.

45
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,320
We're going to move some stuff out of the way for him. The tables are going to come at like 11.50 noon.

46
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,760
Okay, what's this ROVE lab stuff? We're going to have to pop these out of the boxes later,

47
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,360
so let's move them into the staff area really quickly. Hey, there we go.

48
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,640
All right. They reach full platedge after a little while,

49
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,760
so we got to do these right away to make sure that they're ready to sit on tomorrow.

50
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,080
Hey, Chase. Hi. Did I ever mention to you that I wanted a 5v5 tape-to-tape setup?

51
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,800
No, you did not. We can do that on the stage, though. I don't know if it'll work on the stage.

52
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,080
The input leg's pretty bad. Yeah, maybe we'll have to figure out something else. We'll figure something else out.

53
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,920
Okay. You know the projector screen's still there, right? Yeah, we're not using those at the moment.

54
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,920
That you know of. That I know of, yeah. We could put them in the, probably the VR after hours,

55
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,760
because the VR guys are only going to be here from like 11 to 5 each day. Wow, what turns?

56
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,920
Yeah, so if we want to bust that out like overnight or later in the evening, we can definitely bring that out.

57
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,640
Bust it out. Yeah. We've got the LAN cache pre-filling.

58
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,480
Nice, nice. It's pre-downloading all of the games that we've got on the schedule,

59
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,800
plus a few more that I picked out that people might want to play.

60
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,880
Battle.net servers apparently don't work super nicely

61
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,200
with the LAN cache, so these pre-fill scripts go and grab all that stuff ahead of time

62
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,560
so that if people download it on the fly, it's not going to be falling out.

63
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,960
Got it. Awesome. We still have a 3 gigabit connection here, symmetric.

64
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,000
So theoretically, if people do need to grab something that's not cached,

65
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,000
we should be okay, but you want to cache as much as you can.

66
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,040
It's not a regulation height ladder for how high you are. No.

67
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,800
Dang it, Alex. It was the most convenient size. See, that's what I keep telling people.

68
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,040
It's not about the height. It's about the convenience. I feel like it's too little, too late.

69
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,400
I think they're already done, but I got the ladder. They do need it.

70
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,640
I'm not useless. Okay, so it's supposed to be six foot and a quarter inches,

71
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,200
so yeah, we overcooked it a little bit. All the retro gaming stuff is in the way of the tables.

72
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,960
Where does the retro gaming stuff go? Because right now, it's right where our tables need to be.

73
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,520
Retro gaming goes on the stage. Oh, where is the stage?

74
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,880
What time is the stage coming? Between one and two. Oh, between one and two.

75
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,760
So it's coming in like an hour or two. That's where retro gaming is going, right?

76
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,560
Yeah. We can always fine-tune it later, though. For now, I think we just need to get the tables down,

77
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,160
and then we can adjust after the fact.

78
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,520
Meanwhile, the professional table movers are moving tables

79
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,200
a lot faster than us. Check this out. This is going to be freaking awesome.

80
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,120
Wow, that's classy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's pretty flesh, man. Only the best for the whale VIPs.

81
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:04,400
How much is the whale ticket? I think it was 4,000 USD, and StarForge built the computers,

82
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,840
and they're valued at like 5,200 USD. Oh, so you'd basically be crazy not to buy a whale ticket.

83
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:13,040
Yes, sir. Wait, shut up.

84
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,200
We have the Logitech GX Herman Miller chairs for the...

85
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,400
These are for the whales? That's wild.

86
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,880
I've always wanted to do this. What are you doing? Oh!

87
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,560
Can I come through? No. Time for our first quick test of the LED wall.

88
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,240
It's a little easier if you test each row as you go up and make sure it's working.

89
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,360
And also, we can find out how much power each row is going to use. So we know if we're going to exceed our budget.

90
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,560
Okay, so theoretically, you put this in and then we're G to G?

91
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,480
Well, not really. Oh, okay. I mean, we have to hook up the controller.

92
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,600
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Minor details. Details. Sure. Why do we have the controller on this side instead of where the power is?

93
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,960
Because Chase says that it's going to be on this side, whatever is controlling the screen.

94
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,640
Yeah, there's no plugs here. There's no plugs here. Just these two plugs.

95
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,440
Hey!

96
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,320
Most of it! The mark of a throwing everything together last minute event.

97
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,000
Someone will have that look on their face. Hey!

98
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,120
Whoa! Jeez, that was close. The stage is in!

99
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:25,840
And we've got two rows of the LED wall. Now what we've got to do is unbox our whale PCs from StarForge.

100
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,520
My understanding is they had some special graphics put on them from the one,

101
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,600
the only Sarah Butt. Man, these things are fricking heavy.

102
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:39,040
It's a good thing we don't have to haul them away. The whale ticket not only includes a VIP experience,

103
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:46,320
where you get twice as much room as anybody else. It includes this gaming PC, totally not on purpose,

104
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,760
but the theme for Whale Land this year is kind of like out of this world,

105
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,840
you know, and we got a whale with a big, you know, bubble on them and everything.

106
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:59,680
Well, that's kind of StarForge's theme too. So if I were to say that the branding goes really well together,

107
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,880
that would be a gross understatement. Look at this thing!

108
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:08,720
That is flipping incredible! Oh, they put their penis on the CPU cooler.

109
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,040
Why they got to be like that? To clarify, that's their logo.

110
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,720
It's not a penis, it's a hammer. It's a penis and you know it.

111
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,480
It even has the little butthole. These are fricking top of the line.

112
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:26,400
9950X3D 16-core processors, 64 gigs of Fury memory,

113
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,560
and an Aorus RTX 5090.

114
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,440
These guys are going to be gaming so fast that if they lose, they have no excuses.

115
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,680
Even where it doesn't really matter, they put a lot of care into this. Like, look at how clean it is.

116
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:42,960
It's almost like they knew that they were going to be on camera.

117
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,480
No, in all seriousness, they have a really good reputation for cable management.

118
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,840
This looks amazing. Great job. Great job, StarForge.

119
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,840
There's a power outlet under here that apparently we need, but we've got a plan.

120
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,880
Good news, Evan. You know those whale tables we moved?

121
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,160
We're going to move them again over here, and then we're going to fish it out.

122
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,080
I heard the washrooms are here. Nice.

123
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,400
Yeah, they're awesome. That's not the good ones. Don't go in there. These are the good ones.

124
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,360
They're fancy. It's boutique shitters only for the whales. This is nicer than my washroom at home, bud.

125
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,560
Makes me want to pee. I wish I had to pee right now. Oh, these are for the 8v8 gaming setup.

126
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:23,120
Okay, so there's a whole video about that. You guys are going to want to check that out in a separate video,

127
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,120
because it's pretty complicated. We're trying to coordinate the power situation

128
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:33,040
of how many computers plug into which power bar versus monitors into which power bar, because I can't plug 16 computers

129
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,720
into one power bar. Why not? What are you, weak? No, your power is.

130
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,560
We live in America. We have 120 volts.

131
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:46,640
There appears to be some drama around the power. This really does feel like reality show drama.

132
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,640
They're like, but I don't have enough circuits, but I need the circuits.

133
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,680
The whole thing's a circus. We have enough power within the building.

134
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:56,800
The problem is with the whale PC location

135
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,480
and a few other things. It's getting it to a specific spot. It's a bit of the issue.

136
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,480
Overall, we're doing okay, so we'll sort it out. And then by the next one, we'll definitely

137
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,760
order a few more cables at certain lengths, and then we should be good.

138
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:12,240
Dude, we're close. Got like frickin' six more to put on.

139
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,880
If this was a WWE event, you know that,

140
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:17,680
there'd be some of this onto these. These are great.

141
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,240
Chasse, we looked at the map. Yes. It says stage plus retro gaming.

142
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,920
What does that mean? So basically what ended up happening is we have the 8v8,

143
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,960
we have the stage, we have the knocker at the staff area,

144
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,040
and then we have the VR station. Yeah. So for certain segments, and when we're not doing

145
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,880
any stage activities, we were just going to have some VR gaming here with the couches and stuff like that.

146
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,840
I mean retro gaming. Retro gaming, yeah. What do you mean, like, so.

147
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,000
It's not 24 seven. Where did the couches go? They're going to have to live on the stage

148
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,440
or go behind the stage for a bit. Things are kind of

149
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,640
pushed together. We're doing like a lot over here. Where's the ASUS stuff?

150
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,080
That's for like when we're doing certain activities on the stage.

151
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,720
So there'll be like set up and tear down on the stage? A little bit, yeah.

152
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,400
Yeah. New plan. The retro area is going to be over here

153
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,800
and we're going to put all the couches over here. It's going to be grand.

154
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:13,520
Boom. Nice. So I'm thinking big projector screen right there, huh?

155
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,080
Do we have a projector and screen? We have, yes.

156
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,280
Who needs this in our boardroom at the office when we can have it here?

157
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:26,960
All right. A.J. from our info team printed these

158
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,160
thick little 3D printed bracket things

159
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,480
and theoretically I should be able to just...

160
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,440
Oh. So the spacing is not the same on every wall, A.J.

161
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,880
Hey, new plan. The couches go this way.

162
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:43,840
And here we go.

163
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:53,120
Dude, that's thick. Okay, now we just need to move all the couches again.

164
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,560
Hey, there we go. Oh, yeah. Nice. There we go.

165
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,760
Let's go get a projector. Yeah. Oh, where are we going to put that?

166
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,800
We have a pedestal. Dude, it's 330 already, which is pretty stressful,

167
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,360
but also like all the chairs are out of here,

168
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,920
almost all the wheel and stuff's out of here. Is there a sign on this section of the parking lot?

169
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,720
Only people whose cars have depreciated by more than half? Yeah, rich DBs only.

170
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:24,880
Nobody put the power cables or HDMI in here, so I guess we need to go track those down.

171
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,960
Is there a cool mount, huh? Yeah, well, it's blue.

172
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:37,920
Why did you go for like a jazz version of that? So Adam, I'm kind of thinking wall of bins here.

173
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:42,400
Why? Because I don't want anybody walking through here

174
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,080
and tripping over the power cord for this projector. Oh, okay, yeah.

175
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,480
Yeah. So we'll just make a wall, the B-wad, the blue wall of death.

176
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,840
Okay. Theoretically, this should keep people from trying to walk through

177
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,080
and knock over things that are here. Can you not?

178
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,680
We should have made a wall of the robe lab boxes. That would have been way better.

179
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:03,680
They wanted them hanging around here anyway.

180
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:09,920
Here we go. Pattern. Okay, we're not quite aligned, I think.

181
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:10,880
A little bit of work to do.

182
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,680
Let's go. Oh, now hopefully nobody is dumb enough to bump this once I'm done.

183
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,200
You didn't account for me coming in here.

184
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,560
Adam, how much lens shift do I have? Oh my God, I have even more.

185
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:30,160
Holy crap. I love this projector. Epson LS-12000, everyone.

186
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,320
I see you've got the audio system working. Yeah. Is that all you got?

187
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,320
All right. What if we need to talk to the people?

188
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:52,800
That's awesome. After all that, I don't think Adam's side was actually notched all the way in.

189
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,280
The whole screen is tilted this way, so I went and I aligned the projector to a not aligned screen.

190
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,840
I have to leave for Wancho in 45 minutes. Okay, we just need to show you something, okay?

191
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,840
Do you know what the whale cup that's happening? I do, yeah.

192
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,760
It's a challenge of gaming prowess. We got engineer to make a cup.

193
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:10,560
Check this thing out.

194
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,800
That is sick. Look at this whale. Well, now I'll have to win it.

195
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,680
I'm not going to lift it up because I have to win it to raise it. They told me the whale PCs are set up and,

196
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,480
dang, this looks sick. We got the WAN desk pad.

197
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,320
Fricking, wow, that's really late. Pulse our mouse. Okay, I always removed the eskates.

198
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,760
You haven't even seen the best part yet. Dang.

199
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,080
Oh, that is so cool. These are awesome.

200
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,680
We also got an awesome peripheral set up with a hall effect gaming keyboard

201
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,440
and wireless headphones from Corsair, pulse our gaming mouse,

202
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,040
and an Alienware 360 Hertz 4K monitor.

203
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,080
It's going to be a good game in here. This is exciting. We haven't even talked about our vending machines yet.

204
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,000
These are from G&A Robot, and they brought out three different vending machines.

205
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,920
One will cook up just about any beverage your heart could desire.

206
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,000
One of them does hot meals, including like bento boxes and stuff.

207
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,000
And then the last one is ice cream. I have no idea if they're any good.

208
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,120
This will be my first time drying them, but they're loading them up right now.

209
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,280
Evolve events is here with their VR multiplayer gaming setup.

210
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,960
Check this out. They've got a live feed of everybody who's in there right now. Before we get in there,

211
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,680
we can take a look at the hardware we're using. Basically, it's on MetaQuest 3 with extra steps,

212
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,680
and the extra steps are the Bobo VR S3 Pro headset,

213
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:43,360
which gives them swappable batteries. Super convenient, not to mention a cooling fan for your forehead.

214
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,080
And they swapped out the stock gasket for one that's like a cooling gel style

215
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:53,120
and then removed little nose skirt, because apparently some of the corporate events they do,

216
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:58,800
some of the people who've never been in VR before, they get kind of scared if they can't peek at the floor and see the real world.

217
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,400
I'll run you through a few of them here. Oh my god. What's 3v3?

218
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:07,120
3v3? There is no versus games that we do here. What? It's cooperative stuff here.

219
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,120
Pack it up. Pack it up. Get out. The cops versus robbers, where you're all cops against robbers.

220
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,040
All right, we're all cops.

221
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,120
The poor GPU on this Quest 3 just freaks out

222
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,560
when there's a whole bunch of like particle effects. Am I being hit?

223
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,720
I can't even tell. Oh, I'm dead.

224
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,400
Is anyone covering the other side? Guys, nobody's covering the side.

225
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,400
GG. Very cool. I think the attendees are going to enjoy the heck out of this.

226
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:41,440
Right now, we're playing office chair shuffleboard. The goal is for them to get as close to that X as possible.

227
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,200
Whoever gets close gets to the next round. And then we have a winner's tournament

228
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,040
and they're going to win a prize.

229
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,560
You missed the bit where I ordered my ice cream. Maybe we'll have to link it on G&A's social down below.

230
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,400
But basically, you can see people are already lining up to try these things.

231
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,400
Pretty freaking cool. And shockingly fast, I want to show tape to tape working.

232
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,280
I think I can have it done in five minutes. Bet. Let's go.

233
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,200
It's my daughter's laptop set up. She's not here yet.

234
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,680
Dad, where's my laptop? That's fine. She can just use this computer.

235
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,200
This is also just taken from home.

236
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,480
Power. I'm at two and a half minutes. Yeah, I know it should be booting.

237
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,520
I think Bluetooth pairing is going to slow you down. No, dog.

238
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,800
Bluetooth is going to be fine. So I have these ones ready for Bluetooth pairing.

239
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,880
I still have a minute and 50 seconds. But you can get time.

240
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,920
Come on, ROG flow. You need to boot up, buddy.

241
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,040
There we go. How much time you got? Just a gosh darn second.

242
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,080
Why aren't these ones connected? Dang it. I have 30 seconds.

243
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,400
No, I have 13 seconds.

244
00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:56,400
Man, is it going to be the controllers that bone me? Dang it.

245
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,800
We're at five minutes and six seconds. That's pretty good. You know what? I'm going to, that's commendable.

246
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,000
Some of these are powered by the power plug and some of them are not.

247
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,440
Oh. Oh, wait. No, no, that's not the issue.

248
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,840
No, some of them are charging only. Okay, hold on. You got to be kidding me right now.

249
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,480
Why is nothing ever simple? That's it.

250
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,320
We have 10 players. Fine. I'm late. 10 minutes and 40 seconds,

251
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,920
but we're in with 10 controllers. I think I can have it done in five minutes.

252
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,840
Not too bad. This is like my favorite game right now.

253
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,280
It supports 5v5 with all human players.

254
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,400
It's basically NHLPA 93,

255
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,560
but you can like throw your stick and drag and shout

256
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,320
and shit like that. Okay, hold on. Everybody, I did it. Everybody stop doing stuff.

257
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,440
Just a second here. No, no, don't, don't do anything.

258
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,440
Oh, guys, don't press stuff. Just a second.

259
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:55,440
Okay. You may want to press. Guys, guys, don't press whatever button you're pressing.

260
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,480
Okay. Here we go, boys. Here we go. Pass across. Okay.

261
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,320
Or just shoot it. Shooting directly at the goalie is not a good strat.

262
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,280
There we go. Let's go. You got to pass over.

263
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,160
Oh, oh my God. Don't pass me. All right. Let's go.

264
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,160
Christopher Han, please. All right, GG, guys.

265
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,200
Now you might be wondering how to win Lord Landly's Cup.

266
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:23,680
And that is where our stage setup comes in. ASUS ROG provided these six gaming machines,

267
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,720
and we've got them all run into an HDMI switcher

268
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,160
so that we can broadcast

269
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:35,360
with some reliability the various feats that our ultimate winner must perform.

270
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:38,960
It will be a combination of games to prove that you are a true gamer,

271
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:43,120
not simply a master of one title. And we'll be using the stage for a variety

272
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:46,640
of other showcase challenges throughout the rest of the event like typing of the dead.

273
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,480
We've got a full separate video on this, but here's our 8v8 gaming setup,

274
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,240
red versus blue, baby. And when you're managing this many machines,

275
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:59,520
you don't want folks just downloading anything. And thanks to Threatlocker's easy application allow listing,

276
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,440
you can control which software, scripts, and libraries can run on your devices.

277
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,600
And activating learning mode allows Threatlocker to determine what software folks are likely

278
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:13,280
to need on their machines and automatically allow list them. But it's not just a thumbs up or thumbs down solution.

279
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,200
Using ring fencing, you can control what a specific application can do.

280
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,240
For example, you can have Microsoft Word and PowerShell install,

281
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,520
but prevent Microsoft Word from calling on PowerShell,

282
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:28,160
a very common vector of attack for hackers. One issue, we can't just force Threatlocker

283
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,440
to run on everybody's machines or can we?

284
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:36,800
Either way, when you're trying to manage a bunch of users, Threatlocker is an easy to use and robust solution.

285
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:42,480
Check out the link in the description. The wildest part of all of this is that the badminton club is totally still running right now.

286
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:48,320
We just locked all the doors over to the other side. Wow. A madman they called me.

287
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,880
It'll never work, they said. They called you a madman because this is the work of a madman.

288
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,480
This is nonsense. Dude, I love it. It looks incredible, doesn't it?

289
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:01,360
Yeah, but you know, I'm kind of tired of talking about it. So maybe we should talk about our sponsor.

290
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:04,720
All right, I don't know, am I doing a second? No, I was gonna say, let's go play games.

291
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,200
Oh, and thanks Threatlocker. Oh yeah, Threatlocker.

292
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,040
Stop Threatlocker. Appreciate you. Let's begin to redo this thing.

293
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,320
No, it's great. I love it. No, I don't. I'm not doing another one.

294
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,880
If you guys enjoyed this video, why don't you check out the very first video

295
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,720
where I unveiled Smash Shamps. The contrast is...

296
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,920
It's crazy. Night and day. It's crazy. It's like OLED level contrast.
