bing bong wiggle wiggle dum dum rob schlob dobby and dingleheim

00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:10.880
that's what the script says so i have to read it

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:16.160
just when you thought the war between steam and the epic game store was maybe

00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:20.960
starting to cool down one of the biggest offensives yet has been launched epic

00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:25.920
has acquired psyonix the developer of popular esports game rocket league even

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:28.720
worse epic left gamers to assume the worst about rocket league's fate on

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:34.880
steam initially saying that the game would come to the epic game store in late 2019

00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:39.600
and would continue to be supported on steam in the meantime but does that mean

00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:43.040
eventually support will stop for steam users

00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:48.160
psyonix themselves said players on steam can look forward to continued support

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:52.879
while epic does give developers greater revenue share and their resources will

00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:56.960
no doubt support rocket league status as an esport it's these kind of

00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:02.399
uncertainties that make the whole epic versus steam fight so annoying like will

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:05.280
steam users get all future updates will riley be forced to play using a

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:08.400
controller instead of a mouse and keyboard never

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:13.840
no one thing that is certain is respawns

00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:15.520
tolerance for cheaters it's zero after

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:18.920
promising to crack down on cheating the apex legends developer announced that

00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:26.560
they've blocked 770 000 players 300 000 new accounts and

00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:29.040
4 000 cheat sellers they've also made it

00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:32.720
easier to report cheats in game added new automatic cheat detecting features

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:37.600
and they're working with cheating experts to enact a full-scale anti-cheat

00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:41.759
defense yeah you better freaking watch out yet cheaters

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:45.840
says this is only the beginning of their anti-cheater campaign and they can't

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:50.720
share more details now as that would give a heads up to the cheaters riley it

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:55.759
seems like they already gave a bunch of details about it and what's TechLinked

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:59.360
without a story about facebook being ridiculous we've already heard that

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:03.200
facebook was developing a digital currency for use within whatsapp but now

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.680
reports are emerging about a cryptocurrency meant for facebook itself

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:11.920
the company is apparently trying to raise a billion dollars from financial

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:16.160
institutions to help it develop the currency which would be a stable coin

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:20.800
whose value is tethered to other conventional currencies like the dollar

00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:25.040
dealing with people's money would raise even more questions about personal

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:28.400
privacy but at least facebook is asking the federal government for help with

00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:33.040
that in exchange for ending a federal probe into its privacy problems the

00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:37.760
company told the ftc it would submit to greater oversight of its data collection

00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:42.000
practices and i can't blame them from what i've heard probes can be pretty

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:44.879
uncomfortable i'm getting double probe tonight

00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:50.000

the pixel 3a is rumored to be revealed on may 7th but a best buy in ohio

00:03:27.200 --> 00:03:35.280

there have been a plethora of leaks about these devices already but we'll

00:03:45.200 --> 00:03:52.720
wait until next week to get the info straight from the source

00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:56.480
oh google i o that's some good source the overwatch league has been pretty

00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:00.560
successful with its city-based team system so activision blizzard is going

00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:04.879
to try the same thing with call of duty atlanta dallas new york paris and

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:10.080
toronto will get their own teams each presumably receiving a dutiful call to

00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:14.560
represent their city and or sizable sums of money researchers at microsoft have

00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:18.320
revealed torque a controller prototype for virtual reality that would allow

00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:23.520
users to feel virtual objects by providing haptic feedback through a

00:04:20.799 --> 00:04:28.400
specially developed finger module it's apparently especially good at

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:33.360
simulating squishy balls so if you've been stressed at work you can just go on

00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:36.420
home pop on the vr headset and and squeeze those anxieties away in virtual

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:41.360
squish space vr squishy balls that's what i'm looking

00:04:40.080 --> 00:04:45.199
for i can't wait for vr bounty castle

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:49.199
youtube is planning on taking its original content out from behind the

00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:54.400
youtube premium paywall and making it available finally to good old regular

00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:57.040
plebs like me i'm so cheap upcoming

00:04:54.400 --> 00:05:01.040
original shows will be ad supported and existing premium content will also be

00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:04.320
available for a limited time i guess youtube figured

00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:08.320
they're not netflix they figured it out netflix is netflix are they are they

00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:12.800
hulu they might be hulu

00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:18.000
and there's a potential path to peace in the never ending battle between pirated

00:05:15.039 --> 00:05:21.919
retro game emulators and game producers and stream which just got funded on

00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:27.120
kickstarter is a streaming service that would grant access to over 2 000 classic

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:31.919
titles from the zx spectrum amiga commodore 64 sega genesis and the arcade

00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:36.080
the company's owners are sourcing licenses for the games and if they're

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:40.240
successful andstream could serve to benefit game rights holders and retro

00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:45.360
enthusiasts alike it's just that would be win win there's no way nintendo's

00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:45.360
going to join

00:05:45.919 --> 00:05:50.960
