bing bong wiggle wiggle dum dum rob schlob dobby and dingleheim

2
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:10,880
that's what the script says so i have to read it

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:16,160
just when you thought the war between steam and the epic game store was maybe

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:20,960
starting to cool down one of the biggest offensives yet has been launched epic

5
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:25,920
has acquired psyonix the developer of popular esports game rocket league even

6
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:28,720
worse epic left gamers to assume the worst about rocket league's fate on

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:34,880
steam initially saying that the game would come to the epic game store in late 2019

8
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:39,600
and would continue to be supported on steam in the meantime but does that mean

9
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:43,040
eventually support will stop for steam users

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:48,160
psyonix themselves said players on steam can look forward to continued support

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:52,879
while epic does give developers greater revenue share and their resources will

12
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:56,960
no doubt support rocket league status as an esport it's these kind of

13
00:00:54,719 --> 00:01:02,399
uncertainties that make the whole epic versus steam fight so annoying like will

14
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:05,280
steam users get all future updates will riley be forced to play using a

15
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,400
controller instead of a mouse and keyboard never

16
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:13,840
no one thing that is certain is respawns

17
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:15,520
tolerance for cheaters it's zero after

18
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,920
promising to crack down on cheating the apex legends developer announced that

19
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:26,560
they've blocked 770 000 players 300 000 new accounts and

20
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:29,040
4 000 cheat sellers they've also made it

21
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:32,720
easier to report cheats in game added new automatic cheat detecting features

22
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:37,600
and they're working with cheating experts to enact a full-scale anti-cheat

23
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:41,759
defense yeah you better freaking watch out yet cheaters

24
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:45,840
says this is only the beginning of their anti-cheater campaign and they can't

25
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,720
share more details now as that would give a heads up to the cheaters riley it

26
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:55,759
seems like they already gave a bunch of details about it and what's TechLinked

27
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:59,360
without a story about facebook being ridiculous we've already heard that

28
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:03,200
facebook was developing a digital currency for use within whatsapp but now

29
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,680
reports are emerging about a cryptocurrency meant for facebook itself

30
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,920
the company is apparently trying to raise a billion dollars from financial

31
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:16,160
institutions to help it develop the currency which would be a stable coin

32
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:20,800
whose value is tethered to other conventional currencies like the dollar

33
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:25,040
dealing with people's money would raise even more questions about personal

34
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:28,400
privacy but at least facebook is asking the federal government for help with

35
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:33,040
that in exchange for ending a federal probe into its privacy problems the

36
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:37,760
company told the ftc it would submit to greater oversight of its data collection

37
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:42,000
practices and i can't blame them from what i've heard probes can be pretty

38
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,879
uncomfortable i'm getting double probe tonight

39
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:50,000

00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,120
there have been a plethora of leaks about these devices already but we'll

52
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:52,720
wait until next week to get the info straight from the source

53
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:56,480
oh google i o that's some good source the overwatch league has been pretty

54
00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:00,560
successful with its city-based team system so activision blizzard is going

55
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:04,879
to try the same thing with call of duty atlanta dallas new york paris and

56
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:10,080
toronto will get their own teams each presumably receiving a dutiful call to

57
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:14,560
represent their city and or sizable sums of money researchers at microsoft have

58
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:18,320
revealed torque a controller prototype for virtual reality that would allow

59
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:23,520
users to feel virtual objects by providing haptic feedback through a

60
00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:28,400
specially developed finger module it's apparently especially good at

61
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:33,360
simulating squishy balls so if you've been stressed at work you can just go on

62
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:36,420
home pop on the vr headset and and squeeze those anxieties away in virtual

63
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:41,360
squish space vr squishy balls that's what i'm looking

64
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:45,199
for i can't wait for vr bounty castle

65
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:49,199
youtube is planning on taking its original content out from behind the

66
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:54,400
youtube premium paywall and making it available finally to good old regular

67
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:57,040

original shows will be ad supported and existing premium content will also be

69
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:04,320

70
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:08,320
they're not netflix they figured it out netflix is netflix are they are they

71
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:12,800
hulu they might be hulu

72
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:18,000
and there's a potential path to peace in the never ending battle between pirated

73
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:21,919
retro game emulators and game producers and stream which just got funded on

74
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:27,120
kickstarter is a streaming service that would grant access to over 2 000 classic

75
00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:31,919
titles from the zx spectrum amiga commodore 64 sega genesis and the arcade

76
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:36,080
the company's owners are sourcing licenses for the games and if they're

77
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,240
successful andstream could serve to benefit game rights holders and retro

78
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:45,360
enthusiasts alike it's just that would be win win there's no way nintendo's

79
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,360
going to join

80
00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:50,960
