WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.320 We have seven hours to transform this badminton club into a 250-seat LAN gaming event. 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? 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. 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. 00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:22.520 Oh, lordy, I see what you mean. Put me in, coach. What can I do? 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 00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:32.040 in just now six and a half hours. 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, 00:00:36.440 --> 00:00:41.560 because here's the thing, when you're inviting 250 of your closest gaming nerd friends, 00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:45.400 you never know what kind of crud they're gonna drag into your network with them. 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 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. 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. 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:06.680 First thing we need to load over from the storage unit is our bolted-together, literally, 00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:12.360 power distribution and networking boxes, along with all of the systems for our whale attendees, 00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:15.480 as well as our 8V8 gaming system. 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 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:26.960 configured so that they will land exactly where each of our stations are. 00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:30.520 Unfortunately, we thoughtfully didn't label the lengths. Nope. 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 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 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. 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 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. 00:01:57.440 --> 00:01:59.760 You know we're going to have the big LED display, right? 00:02:00.720 --> 00:02:02.400 It uses like a couple thousand watts. 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. 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.680 We're going to try to steal power from this, technically, 00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:16.400 but how many watts does that take? A couple thousand. 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:20.080 A couple thousand? Are you sitting on all the prizes? I'm sitting on my sadness. 00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:24.960 Shout out Corsair and V1Tech at the very least, I guess, though. 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, 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. 00:02:38.320 --> 00:02:42.560 Technically, I have an app with the Emporia view that is right here. 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:46.000 It's monitoring all the individual circuit and also the main feed. 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.280 So I can know exactly how many amps everything is drawing. 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.520 Am I helping? Ah, not really. Ah! 00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:59.440 Here comes the LED wall. Best purchase I made this year. 00:03:00.320 --> 00:03:05.280 Look, Simba. Everything the light touches is our gaming party. 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. 00:03:12.160 --> 00:03:18.160 Thanks, Pankrats. For its connection, it uses two bonded 100 gigabit per second links, 00:03:18.160 --> 00:03:22.640 but it is worth noting that it's plugged into an 8x PCIe slot, 00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:26.720 so we're limited to about 120 gigabit per second total. 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:31.440 I'm so sorry, gamers. Alex is going to start building our screen. 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. 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, 00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:43.360 so let's move them into the staff area really quickly. Hey, there we go. 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.640 All right. They reach full platedge after a little while, 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. 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? 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. 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. 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. 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, 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? 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. 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:28.640 Bust it out. Yeah. We've got the LAN cache pre-filling. 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, 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.800 plus a few more that I picked out that people might want to play. 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.880 Battle.net servers apparently don't work super nicely 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 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. 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.960 Got it. Awesome. We still have a 3 gigabit connection here, symmetric. 00:04:50.960 --> 00:04:54.000 So theoretically, if people do need to grab something that's not cached, 00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.000 we should be okay, but you want to cache as much as you can. 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.040 It's not a regulation height ladder for how high you are. No. 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. 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. 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.400 I think they're already done, but I got the ladder. They do need it. 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, 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. 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. 00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:31.520 Retro gaming goes on the stage. Oh, where is the stage? 00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:34.880 What time is the stage coming? Between one and two. Oh, between one and two. 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? 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, 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.160 and then we can adjust after the fact. 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.520 Meanwhile, the professional table movers are moving tables 00:05:49.520 --> 00:05:53.200 a lot faster than us. Check this out. This is going to be freaking awesome. 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. 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, 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. 00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:13.040 Yes, sir. Wait, shut up. 00:06:15.520 --> 00:06:19.200 We have the Logitech GX Herman Miller chairs for the... 00:06:19.200 --> 00:06:22.400 These are for the whales? That's wild. 00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:24.880 I've always wanted to do this. What are you doing? Oh! 00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:32.560 Can I come through? No. Time for our first quick test of the LED wall. 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. 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. 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:44.560 Okay, so theoretically, you put this in and then we're G to G? 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.480 Well, not really. Oh, okay. I mean, we have to hook up the controller. 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? 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. 00:06:57.520 --> 00:07:00.640 Yeah, there's no plugs here. There's no plugs here. Just these two plugs. 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:03.440 Hey! 00:07:06.080 --> 00:07:10.320 Most of it! The mark of a throwing everything together last minute event. 00:07:10.880 --> 00:07:14.000 Someone will have that look on their face. Hey! 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.120 Whoa! Jeez, that was close. The stage is in! 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. 00:07:25.840 --> 00:07:29.520 My understanding is they had some special graphics put on them from the one, 00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:33.600 the only Sarah Butt. Man, these things are fricking heavy. 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, 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, 00:07:46.320 --> 00:07:49.760 but the theme for Whale Land this year is kind of like out of this world, 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. 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, 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:02.880 that would be a gross understatement. Look at this thing! 00:08:02.960 --> 00:08:08.720 That is flipping incredible! Oh, they put their penis on the CPU cooler. 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.040 Why they got to be like that? To clarify, that's their logo. 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. 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.480 It even has the little butthole. These are fricking top of the line. 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:26.400 9950X3D 16-core processors, 64 gigs of Fury memory, 00:08:26.400 --> 00:08:30.560 and an Aorus RTX 5090. 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. 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. 00:08:39.680 --> 00:08:42.960 It's almost like they knew that they were going to be on camera. 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:46.480 No, in all seriousness, they have a really good reputation for cable management. 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:49.840 This looks amazing. Great job. Great job, StarForge. 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. 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.880 Good news, Evan. You know those whale tables we moved? 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. 00:09:00.640 --> 00:09:04.080 I heard the washrooms are here. Nice. 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. 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. 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. 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, 00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:27.120 because it's pretty complicated. We're trying to coordinate the power situation 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 00:09:33.040 --> 00:09:36.720 into one power bar. Why not? What are you, weak? No, your power is. 00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.560 We live in America. We have 120 volts. 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. 00:09:46.640 --> 00:09:50.640 They're like, but I don't have enough circuits, but I need the circuits. 00:09:50.640 --> 00:09:53.680 The whole thing's a circus. We have enough power within the building. 00:09:53.680 --> 00:09:56.800 The problem is with the whale PC location 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. 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 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.760 order a few more cables at certain lengths, and then we should be good. 00:10:08.560 --> 00:10:12.240 Dude, we're close. Got like frickin' six more to put on. 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.880 If this was a WWE event, you know that, 00:10:15.680 --> 00:10:17.680 there'd be some of this onto these. These are great. 00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:24.240 Chasse, we looked at the map. Yes. It says stage plus retro gaming. 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:27.920 What does that mean? So basically what ended up happening is we have the 8v8, 00:10:27.920 --> 00:10:30.960 we have the stage, we have the knocker at the staff area, 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 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. 00:10:38.880 --> 00:10:41.840 I mean retro gaming. Retro gaming, yeah. What do you mean, like, so. 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 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.440 or go behind the stage for a bit. Things are kind of 00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.640 pushed together. We're doing like a lot over here. Where's the ASUS stuff? 00:10:54.640 --> 00:10:58.080 That's for like when we're doing certain activities on the stage. 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. 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:04.400 Yeah. New plan. The retro area is going to be over here 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. 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:13.520 Boom. Nice. So I'm thinking big projector screen right there, huh? 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.080 Do we have a projector and screen? We have, yes. 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:21.280 Who needs this in our boardroom at the office when we can have it here? 00:11:21.280 --> 00:11:26.960 All right. A.J. from our info team printed these 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.160 thick little 3D printed bracket things 00:11:30.160 --> 00:11:32.480 and theoretically I should be able to just... 00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:37.440 Oh. So the spacing is not the same on every wall, A.J. 00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:42.880 Hey, new plan. The couches go this way. 00:11:42.880 --> 00:11:43.840 And here we go. 00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:53.120 Dude, that's thick. Okay, now we just need to move all the couches again. 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:56.560 Hey, there we go. Oh, yeah. Nice. There we go. 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.760 Let's go get a projector. Yeah. Oh, where are we going to put that? 00:12:01.760 --> 00:12:06.800 We have a pedestal. Dude, it's 330 already, which is pretty stressful, 00:12:06.800 --> 00:12:09.360 but also like all the chairs are out of here, 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? 00:12:14.640 --> 00:12:18.720 Only people whose cars have depreciated by more than half? Yeah, rich DBs only. 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. 00:12:24.880 --> 00:12:28.960 Is there a cool mount, huh? Yeah, well, it's blue. 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. 00:12:37.920 --> 00:12:42.400 Why? Because I don't want anybody walking through here 00:12:42.400 --> 00:12:46.080 and tripping over the power cord for this projector. Oh, okay, yeah. 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.480 Yeah. So we'll just make a wall, the B-wad, the blue wall of death. 00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:53.840 Okay. Theoretically, this should keep people from trying to walk through 00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.080 and knock over things that are here. Can you not? 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. 00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:03.680 They wanted them hanging around here anyway. 00:13:05.680 --> 00:13:09.920 Here we go. Pattern. Okay, we're not quite aligned, I think. 00:13:09.920 --> 00:13:10.880 A little bit of work to do. 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. 00:13:19.520 --> 00:13:21.200 You didn't account for me coming in here. 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.560 Adam, how much lens shift do I have? Oh my God, I have even more. 00:13:26.560 --> 00:13:30.160 Holy crap. I love this projector. Epson LS-12000, everyone. 00:13:30.800 --> 00:13:34.320 I see you've got the audio system working. Yeah. Is that all you got? 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:42.320 All right. What if we need to talk to the people? 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. 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. 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? 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:05.840 Do you know what the whale cup that's happening? I do, yeah. 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.760 It's a challenge of gaming prowess. We got engineer to make a cup. 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:10.560 Check this thing out. 00:14:12.880 --> 00:14:16.800 That is sick. Look at this whale. Well, now I'll have to win it. 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, 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.480 dang, this looks sick. We got the WAN desk pad. 00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:30.320 Fricking, wow, that's really late. Pulse our mouse. Okay, I always removed the eskates. 00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:35.760 You haven't even seen the best part yet. Dang. 00:14:36.640 --> 00:14:40.080 Oh, that is so cool. These are awesome. 00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:43.680 We also got an awesome peripheral set up with a hall effect gaming keyboard 00:14:43.680 --> 00:14:47.440 and wireless headphones from Corsair, pulse our gaming mouse, 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:51.040 and an Alienware 360 Hertz 4K monitor. 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. 00:14:56.080 --> 00:15:00.000 These are from G&A Robot, and they brought out three different vending machines. 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.920 One will cook up just about any beverage your heart could desire. 00:15:03.920 --> 00:15:08.000 One of them does hot meals, including like bento boxes and stuff. 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. 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:15.120 This will be my first time drying them, but they're loading them up right now. 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:25.280 Evolve events is here with their VR multiplayer gaming setup. 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, 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, 00:15:33.680 --> 00:15:37.680 and the extra steps are the Bobo VR S3 Pro headset, 00:15:37.760 --> 00:15:43.360 which gives them swappable batteries. Super convenient, not to mention a cooling fan for your forehead. 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:48.080 And they swapped out the stock gasket for one that's like a cooling gel style 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:53.120 and then removed little nose skirt, because apparently some of the corporate events they do, 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. 00:15:58.800 --> 00:16:02.400 I'll run you through a few of them here. Oh my god. What's 3v3? 00:16:02.400 --> 00:16:07.120 3v3? There is no versus games that we do here. What? It's cooperative stuff here. 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. 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:13.040 All right, we're all cops. 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:19.120 The poor GPU on this Quest 3 just freaks out 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.560 when there's a whole bunch of like particle effects. Am I being hit? 00:16:22.560 --> 00:16:24.720 I can't even tell. Oh, I'm dead. 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.400 Is anyone covering the other side? Guys, nobody's covering the side. 00:16:32.880 --> 00:16:36.400 GG. Very cool. I think the attendees are going to enjoy the heck out of this. 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. 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.200 Whoever gets close gets to the next round. And then we have a winner's tournament 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:47.040 and they're going to win a prize. 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. 00:16:58.560 --> 00:17:02.400 But basically, you can see people are already lining up to try these things. 00:17:02.400 --> 00:17:06.400 Pretty freaking cool. And shockingly fast, I want to show tape to tape working. 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:09.280 I think I can have it done in five minutes. Bet. Let's go. 00:17:10.560 --> 00:17:13.200 It's my daughter's laptop set up. She's not here yet. 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:17.680 Dad, where's my laptop? That's fine. She can just use this computer. 00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:19.200 This is also just taken from home. 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:26.480 Power. I'm at two and a half minutes. Yeah, I know it should be booting. 00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:31.520 I think Bluetooth pairing is going to slow you down. No, dog. 00:17:31.520 --> 00:17:34.800 Bluetooth is going to be fine. So I have these ones ready for Bluetooth pairing. 00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:38.880 I still have a minute and 50 seconds. But you can get time. 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:41.920 Come on, ROG flow. You need to boot up, buddy. 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.040 There we go. How much time you got? Just a gosh darn second. 00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:50.080 Why aren't these ones connected? Dang it. I have 30 seconds. 00:17:50.080 --> 00:17:52.400 No, I have 13 seconds. 00:17:53.120 --> 00:17:56.400 Man, is it going to be the controllers that bone me? Dang it. 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. 00:18:00.800 --> 00:18:04.000 Some of these are powered by the power plug and some of them are not. 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:07.440 Oh. Oh, wait. No, no, that's not the issue. 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. 00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:16.480 Why is nothing ever simple? That's it. 00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:20.320 We have 10 players. Fine. I'm late. 10 minutes and 40 seconds, 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. 00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:27.840 Not too bad. This is like my favorite game right now. 00:18:27.840 --> 00:18:31.280 It supports 5v5 with all human players. 00:18:31.280 --> 00:18:34.400 It's basically NHLPA 93, 00:18:35.040 --> 00:18:38.560 but you can like throw your stick and drag and shout 00:18:38.560 --> 00:18:42.320 and shit like that. Okay, hold on. Everybody, I did it. Everybody stop doing stuff. 00:18:42.320 --> 00:18:45.440 Just a second here. No, no, don't, don't do anything. 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:49.440 Oh, guys, don't press stuff. Just a second. 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:55.440 Okay. You may want to press. Guys, guys, don't press whatever button you're pressing. 00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:58.480 Okay. Here we go, boys. Here we go. Pass across. Okay. 00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:02.320 Or just shoot it. Shooting directly at the goalie is not a good strat. 00:19:03.520 --> 00:19:07.280 There we go. Let's go. You got to pass over. 00:19:07.280 --> 00:19:10.160 Oh, oh my God. Don't pass me. All right. Let's go. 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:14.160 Christopher Han, please. All right, GG, guys. 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:17.200 Now you might be wondering how to win Lord Landly's Cup. 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:23.680 And that is where our stage setup comes in. ASUS ROG provided these six gaming machines, 00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:26.720 and we've got them all run into an HDMI switcher 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:28.160 so that we can broadcast 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:35.360 with some reliability the various feats that our ultimate winner must perform. 00:19:35.360 --> 00:19:38.960 It will be a combination of games to prove that you are a true gamer, 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 00:19:43.120 --> 00:19:46.640 of other showcase challenges throughout the rest of the event like typing of the dead. 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:50.480 We've got a full separate video on this, but here's our 8v8 gaming setup, 00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:54.240 red versus blue, baby. And when you're managing this many machines, 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, 00:19:59.520 --> 00:20:03.440 you can control which software, scripts, and libraries can run on your devices. 00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:07.600 And activating learning mode allows Threatlocker to determine what software folks are likely 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. 00:20:13.280 --> 00:20:17.200 Using ring fencing, you can control what a specific application can do. 00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:20.240 For example, you can have Microsoft Word and PowerShell install, 00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:23.520 but prevent Microsoft Word from calling on PowerShell, 00:20:23.520 --> 00:20:28.160 a very common vector of attack for hackers. One issue, we can't just force Threatlocker 00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:31.440 to run on everybody's machines or can we? 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. 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. 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. 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. 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.480 This is nonsense. Dude, I love it. It looks incredible, doesn't it? 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. 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. 00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:07.200 Oh, and thanks Threatlocker. Oh yeah, Threatlocker. 00:21:07.840 --> 00:21:11.040 Stop Threatlocker. Appreciate you. Let's begin to redo this thing. 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. 00:21:14.320 --> 00:21:18.880 If you guys enjoyed this video, why don't you check out the very first video 00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:22.720 where I unveiled Smash Shamps. The contrast is... 00:21:23.600 --> 00:21:27.920 It's crazy. Night and day. It's crazy. It's like OLED level contrast.
