whatever yeah that took a while yeah I only I only went offline like 15 minutes ago I was I I showed up at the office Oh and checked my phone and saw that you just went live and was like what what is why you're gonna start early or or the ranch is gonna be it starting at like 8:00 no no so I just you know what do you even do I so okay it's very long you know what actually I said hey Alex are you still over there no is anyone over there Jake who Jake hey Jake can you uh can you actually grab the network switch from the camera done oh I've seen this that's really cool that's got to be extremely unnecessary oh yeah it was just for fun yeah okay yeah yeah I was like how did you possibly have that okay so we were working on one of the coolest projects that we've done in a really really long time and it went way over time and way over budget and basically it cost us our goal this week was seven LTG videos because we're trying to queue up some extra for me to go on vacation okay um so our goal was seven LTT videos we ended up with four because we were very busy doing this project and it was more complicated than we hoped and or expected but the end result is so cool and the reason that we did it was ultimately on my Harrison spectacular Lee guys today whoever did it is not oh my god it's not because we had to but rather I know I'm doing it okay okay I'm kind of I'm kind of I'm concealing it a little bit yeah but because we wanted to get some practice creating custom water cooling solutions because we want to ultimately water cool already Canada and we figured let's start on something a little bit smaller and the purpose of starting on this on networks which is a single board I thought you made it so much taller okay so a networks which is a single board so it was it was a matter of just working on like one flat surface so taking the measurements was quite a bit easier yeah it actually does have a function like the reason that we did it this way was because we wanted to quiet it down because it's in the camera den because for all their ingest stations and card wiping stations and all that stuff okay they actually need a high-speed networking I thought this was going into the rack so when I saw the increased height I was like what no this got pulled from the rack when we got our new Dell 48 port switches okay so yes yeah so by the way if anyone from floatplane is going to come and fix our networking we know that we don't have a like proper router right now and all that kind of stuff for like our new 10 gig connection I know I just watch it they need to know that we have two dell 48 port like managed switches like really nice switches and we were told that we could probably use those switches for a lot of router functionality okay this is interesting the water is warm well I wonder if we need a beefier fan on here oh wow and that's like it's still warm this thing kicks off more heat than we probably expected you know the funny thing is we actually swapped this radiator out for or we swapped a thicker one out for this one thinking that we wouldn't really need that much rad but remember we might need more radiator interesting pretty warm yeah that's that's that's toasty that's fine we can we can solve just um anyway why it was key I can interject for a second why America so this was the tubing scraps that we had on hand that happened to be the length that those runs were okay so no there was no there was no like America this router this one's a little hard to see on camera but there's a blue one right there there's also some radiators blue - yeah yeah you know no that wasn't okay tensional okay but yeah so anyway if someone from floatplane is planning to come over just let them know I know AJ has wanted to help you with networking stuff for a long time and if and I know that you know sometimes like VLAN tagging and stuff doesn't necessarily cooperate properly between different vendors so we would want us we would want if we're going to get a new router we would want a router that will cooperate with our Dell so as those we are we are sticking with okay they were like a total of eight grand or something like that for the two of them but like that's fine because we're talking 96 ports of 10-gig networking six excuse me twelve ports of 40 gig networking like that's more than we could need for quite some time so we're sticking with that anyway so the purpose of this was to quiet it down because it's in a place where people have to work and this is like a server rack style switch this is not a this is not a desktop switch it was quite loud also you know to practice you know practice makes perfect and also just cause like it was fun like I don't not at that I'm aware of I don't think anybody has ever done this before maybe for good reason maybe not because the project overall was a smash success like it was a huge success so we filtered the intakes you can actually see that you can't really see through them anymore yeah so I put like dust filters on all the intakes and then we're using our fan here as an exhaust so we're pulling fresh air in through the sides and exhausting it at the top cool yeah so all we might have to do is tune the fan rpm a little bit I was gonna say you might might be you know but I bet it's on purpose so the stock fans are PWM controlled and probably temperature sensing and we're probably so far below the temperature threshold that it's barely turning the bloody thing okay cuz yeah when we first fired it up we were seeing anywhere from a 10 to 25 degree reduction in temperature depending on yeah so you know what I bet that's it boy it's heavy now here actually feel this holy router in it that's a little bit heavier than you'd expect a switch to be no I don't like oh I don't know maybe no no I don't sorry where's that John I fix the kid here but it's going yeah anyway so that that project pool a little bit behind schedule this week but like honestly you know those are the kinds of things that are so much fun for us to do that it's just like if we can't if we can't do those kinds of things then why even why even bother anymore honestly like it's not like techno tainment so it's a really funny thing because people often refer to me as a sellout but yeah I started out making videos for the money yeah and then over time it's actually like I had no experience either behind most people do these days I anyway look I'm not talking about anyone else other than myself so over time so I had no experience in front of or behind a camera no experience video editing nada and my boss told me to start a YouTube channel and then paid me to run it and over time I've actually grown into enjoying the creative aspects of it so I'm actually on sort of this reverse journey yeah and it's I just I always kind of get a kick out of it because like on the one hand yes just like I always have been I am running a business here of course but one of the things I had a really great conversation I'm not gonna name their names just cuz like I don't know sort of how how they would feel about ways it was better than it was a one-on-one conversation give someone and you know they basically said that they get asked a lot why do you still work there like you know compared to sort of you know anything else you could do you know you could like you could work anywhere like why do you still work there exactly and they basically said well you know I trust the vision and the vision might not be as artistic as you know I might desire you know for myself but the path that I've seen us follow is build a solid foundation for the business first which gives you the time and resources and the team and the equipment and the facilities that you need to be an artist and it's like totally the opposite way that I think most people go about like a film it's not a very common it's it's not a very common direction in in modern times I guess it's really popular for people to job hop like crazy right not know it's popular for people to try to grow things I think i 100% know what you're talking about that's actually really cool was I gonna say yeah I know it it makes sense I there's a certain line too right like there's certain things that you don't do there's certain offers that that liner shoots down or Nick shoots down or Colton shoots down most of them didn't make it to me anymore take a shot down before you have it actually like I was why waste their time bring it to you I'll overhear something being talked about I'm like that's ridiculous and they'll be like yeah yeah we know we're just laughing about it like no we're not doing that they're like yeah yeah yeah that's fine yeah that's cool we know yeah so like and and it's always a it's always a fine line yeah and there's like I think one thing that i SPECT a fair amount is I think how you've usually taken a stance at it I'm just shooting in the dark here right now is if you would hate it as a viewer yeah you don't do it I've tried not to do it there are some things honestly that I've done even though I hate them as a viewer so something that I haven't done because I hate them as a viewer is mid-roll ads in videos yeah so we do our sponsor spots at the beginning so we do our hook then we do a 10 to 15 second spot which the clever among you have probably noticed that you can double-click in the YouTube window and it will skip that almost perfectly every time just saying then we do the bulk of our video and there will be no YouTube TrueView ad baked in we get a lot of people criticizing us for oh you guys made it ten minutes and three seconds for the money except that if we don't put a mid-roll ad in it it doesn't do it there isn't more money yeah so don't actually understand that they just they just know the like make it ten minutes for more money thing so we're not afraid to make money and then I'm not ashamed to say that this is a business and that I am Elsa feed I have literally over two dozen mouths to feed now that's that's the way it is but everything that we do is skippable how'd you get in close to three with the next hiring wave yeah we're gonna be close including floatplane yeah including floatplane including the nanny including my children we are well over three dozen by that point yeah we've talked about this offline yeah like I've been doing a lot of soul-searching lately yes I never wanted this no this was never my intention you were there yeah we had conversations early on like this was not the goal I didn't want to I didn't want to turn into like an enterprise yeah but like where we're getting to the point where it's kind of taking on a life of its own right now like there are projects that are underway under this roof that I have almost or literally nothing to do with that could fundamentally change the way that we do business because as it turns out if you hire good people they're gonna have their own ambitions and they're gonna have their own ideas and their own goals and I'm gonna be looking at it going well I mean I don't know if that's exactly what I would have done but I can't exactly stop you you have to grow and you have to learn as both personally and professionally and if I get in your way you're gonna leave you're really good and I'd really like you to stay on my team so I guess I need to find the best way that I can support this and sure guess we're hiring another bunch of people it's a good thing obviously this is a very first rule problem that I'm not complaining - Media Group as a business is doing phenomenally well for those of you concerned for our well being you know I actually I actually recently achieved something that's been a goal of mine for quite some time now and I feel like I'm kind of spilling some of your beans here and I apologize in advance because I'm not we just can't sit we can't add details detail that we can't add details on the previous part yet the previous part why is this off screen what should - oh yeah yeah yeah no no I know no details about any of them no okay but the goal that I achieved is back when we were working out of the Langley House we at our peak there had a team of its eight or nine people or something like that anyway so everyone who joined pretty close to the beginning within the first couple of years worked out of that house and as of like two weeks ago I have officially achieved a goal that I set for myself when Linus media group purchased that that property to run out of and that the goal was actually to be there forever by the way yeah I thought five years in we'd have five or six people and that would that I'd be really happy with that we'd all make like so today we'd all make a living we'd all make a living wage doing what we loved and wouldn't that be cool right yeah we're six years in now we're coming close to thirty anywho so when Linus media group bought that property because it needed it we couldn't keep working out of my garage that was not sustainable for me it was not sustainable for the staff it was ridiculous it's stupid we should never should have done it we didn't have the money that we it was not optional it just sort of happened um so I went well Linus media group bought a house so my goal is for everyone who works for Linus Media Group to own a house or if not a detached home to be in the real estate market and everyone has sort of different preferences and different sort of sort of goals like one of the people who worked out of that house has it attached home like way in the middle of nowhere and then at least a couple of them have like really decent size townhomes but that are much closer to the city so it's like sort of it's everyone's taking a different approach to it but as of a couple of weeks ago I achieved that goal every single person with the exception of Nick van Berkel who I love dearly but is no longer my problem is now a homeowner and so I thought that was really cool that was that was a really big personal goal for me and so I'm feeling really good about myself so I'm talking about it on one show cool it's been scary I'm the last variable and you totally could have done it our family sure yeah I was like is he ever gonna like do this like there's I know I know there's a lot of reasons but like but yeah I know I know it was a long time coming for sure I wish you had done it earlier cuz like Langley Langley real estate has been a thing I bought it as its lowest point and like a week after I bought it the market in that area went up by 1.6 percent really yeah so you're already profitable yeah nice you have okay I'm not gonna give any details about sort of what the status is but yeah the deal closed like a couple weeks back I think is that right uh I'd like got the keys he's thinking Wednesday yeah so I've been there for two days I guess oh you're there no well oh really technically yeah okay except I sort of am because it was an estate sale so it's 100% liveable or it's empty well no it's not empty there's furnishing I mean in terms of people oh yeah basically I got the keys two days after it closed because there was no one there but that also means there was like a couch and right other stuff cool beds and chairs and desks and everything really awkward yep anyways moving on tech topics yeah what was our headline topic let's do that try and do let's do that first yeah anthem yes anthem bug bricking ps4s this was posted by sovak on the forum I've already kind of talked about this on tech linked but we've got a little bit more details the original article I know right um you know what okay no we're gonna talk about this in a bit I'm gonna do realize we've actually got a really cool concept in the works for tech linked okay thinking of filling in the Tuesday and Thursday slots with a more detailed like deeper dive into one topic each day so tell me what you think of tell me what you think of the idea I kind of pitched a name that I liked the name are eight bits because it's like eight bits and it's also deeper than two bits you know so it's deeper than true or false yeah no I meant like two bits like here's my two bits yeah like the yeah yeah and it's you know eight bit cuz it's like haha it's nerdy and then and then and then most people gonna think it's a reference to graphics yeah exactly and so it's like it's guys you know how much I love the double on time yeah yeah yeah so but then what I thought was we could actually tie that into the format so it's something that Riley and James had been workshopping and I'm not going to take credit for sort of the idea of us expanding the tech link to lineup or like any of this and like mostly this is me kind of trying to figure out like branding and presentation of it and like how to how to streamline it a little bit but I thought what if we sent a requirement for ourselves where are eight bits has to take eight different pieces eight different opinions from a minimum of four different sources and then we've got our two and we each are in charge of presenting one side of it within a discussion and a wrap-up at the end as sort of like a way to cover deeper topics that are more opinion driven okay in a fair way are you guys going to consider doing topics that you've done earlier that week I think we would yeah yeah yeah especially because tech linked is so timely like it's whatever happened that day at like 6 o'clock yeah yeah so you might not have the whole story because the whole story might not exist yet exactly so if something turns out to be like something that has further developments in the in the days that follow I think it would be a great opportunity to really revisit in greater depth I don't think it's going to do as many views as a standard tech linked episode because the great thing about tech linked is it's it's rapid-fire it's funny TM I think it's funny whatever you guys are I think it's funny you guys are welcome to your own opinions that is great I actually love tech linked it's yeah it may be my favorite thing that we do right now other than certain LTT things like the liquid cooled switch actually some of the tech kooky stuff we've done recently is pretty good too everything's doing really John's been John's been doing some really cool topics like I thought the recent ones on wire headphone jacks going away why removable batteries are never coming back just it's it's such a sort of on the surface obvious thing but then there's other there's other factors at play and he's done a good job of summarizing it it's like the acceptance level of grievance but in general watching the tech cookie video on why it's not John is just helping everyone move on from his like hurtful moments maybe it's just cuz like tech lint is the hot new chick or something but because it's the newest thing yeah but like I really really like it anyway I don't think because it's so rapid-fire and it covers such a broad variety of things people can click on it even if they're not necessarily interested in the headline topic and there's probably gonna be something in there for them yeah whereas this is really gonna stick to whatever it is we're talking about so I don't think it's gonna do the same kind of view numbers but I think it's kind of important for us to just try something different have you guys looked into how often you would have two major things per week that you want to dive into no but I suspect we wouldn't find any shortage of them because I think the Tuesday Thursday sessions or the Tuesday Thursday uploads wouldn't necessarily have to be so timely like we could go back and we could look at something that has been developing for a long time like article 13 or even be over for a few months and doing a retrospective look exactly like hey what the heck happened with that here's the post mortem or like what has happened as a result of that in the last six months or whatever yeah and like the thing is with with Juancho with with the regular tackling format I feel like it's really hard for us to go back and rehash things it feels unnecessary because we're supposed to be more news oriented yeah so article 13 is a great example of that where that is still very much going on behind the scenes it is still very much a problem and it's like hard to keep track that's coming very soon but like we can't just be talking about it every week or we become some of the other tech podcasts that I've watched fail over the years where they're just constantly harping on the same things and people to note because it's boring but the thing is that news isn't always entertaining I'm sorry and so maybe that's what the eight bits is is it's the not entertaining and we're still gonna try and be entertaining because we're just funny people but yeah we'd want it to be a little bit more serious yeah I are you married to eight bits no should we like workshop a name I mean with the land show somehow get them to tweet you or something um yeah we could you could set up a tweet of like try to name the new tech linked segment and get everyone to respond to it like floatplane chat yeah I always trust the floatplane peeps they might beeps yeah yeah okay I should really actually we haven't read the intro yet showing sorry floodplain chat we got this got your fam nine bits Wow 9001 years someone said intro is never gonna happen is time for sponsors boss now yeah what now yeah what's up what's up have them sponsor sponsor right there the ones in the intro yeah you just got your intro and your sponsors same time what up now heck yeah no what's up that's up I'm sorry oh good hi hate to factor but I also love to factor because I have like definitely been saved by it on multiple occasions it's great but it's really inconvenient alright do you want to be oh the first external person to see the place as in going there on your way home or do you want to wait until it's set up you know what wouldn't you prefer like are you talking about your new place yes yeah huh I don't know why I decide to drop this now you know what I'm totally down to come see it but then also like am I missing out on the on the big that's what I wanted the house for me yeah cuz it's like really not so up and there's just like stuff everywhere cuz I've been taking stuff home like once a day kind of situation are you gonna stream from there yeah when when's your first stream from there maybe next week definitely not today okay you know what I would be down to come beyond the first stream they're cool cuz then it'll be a little bit set up and we should totally play some like ridiculously stupid games yeah yeah are you familiar with the game the arrow no okay let's play some Lee era heck yeah okay I'm super down we've been playing a broforce and I've actually been missing broforce broke horses okay we could finish broforce I'm also down with that we could totally finish but we just do both or something I think we're pretty close on bro farts so like we could we could totally a big round like the last section the other than playing Workshop Maps yep which who knows if there's like Oh are there spoilers in the game like that they have oil liberate them yeah they think differently than us go go go okay spoiler alert for broforce were past the point where the alien invasion happens yeah so like thank work that's clearly the 75 80 percent mark yeah if every game ever yeah like crisis one has aliens right or is it crisis 2 that has aliens I can't for I can't remember I know crisis 2 does I can't remember it it does does crisis 1 have aliens I think so later on crisis and warhead have aliens there's actual discussion of course of course there is on game facts I played warhead on my Dell blah blah blah don't remember any mention yeah they had aliens in warhead they show they first show up in the third mission in Crysis 1 and alien shows up right at the start you don't find out until later they actually have a whole mission involving explain alien ship yeah ok it was crisis when I was thinking of and it's always like you're getting pretty close to the end of the game when they're like yeah how do we raise the stakes aliens you do even halos like the flight there's like something that gets thrown it different aliens yeah yeah these are grosser looking aliens huh right okay are we gonna ever do an actual topic okay well do one top you gotta do the one yes we do have to do our sponsors okay so anthem bug bricks ps4 so some PlayStation 4 players of Bioware's new loot shooter anthem are finding that they actually aren't enjoying it that much and the ones that are enjoying it that much well some of them are finding that the game occasionally completely powers down their console so when encountering a crash or game error it'll just get booted to the main menu or out of the game completely to the ps4 dashboard but then someone else said twice now when trying to matchmake my PlayStation 4 has completely turned off after powering down the ps4 treats it as an improper shutdown as if the power cord has been pulled that's bizarre and then on startup it goes through a short process of checking the internal database for any issues before turning back off again and then restarting as normal it doesn't sound like a brick at least two players though have claimed that the game bricked their console although one was able to turn their machine back on again after starting in Safe Mode so by bricking maybe what we mean is shut down unexpectedly which yes can cross see that problems and can brick a device okay yeah yeah however on Wednesday Bioware tweeted after thorough review we have not encountered an instance where anthem has bricked a PlayStation 4 console I would hate to be the PR person who had to write that tweet yeah in other great news we haven't actually killed anything we're not going to address any of the other problems so it's unclear if the shut downs are heat related or caused by something else and BIOS Bioware says they will be publishing an update next week to address the major causes of these problems wasn't Bioware like the chosen one at some point yeah for a while Mass Effect one two and three were all monumentally fundamentally amazing games that like changed gaming forever and then everything since this it's been garbage you know I suppose the control necessary game they're good they're actually really really good they feel slightly more console as you go through them that's fact one feels like like a definitely feels like a piece based inventory system like that sort of thing and then Mass Effect 2 you start getting combined controls per button so like one button does like multiple things and it gets kind of weird it's still a great game the first like half-hour to an hour of playing it it's like what are these controls and three is kind of the same thing but they are great games okay you know what I've been really enjoying lately um our sponsors I will tell you which game I've been after but we should really do our sponsor yes our first monster is oh is LTX not a sponsor oh no it's a topic well we'll talk about LT excellent yeah yeah that's cool our first sponsor is private Internet access private Internet access supports a variety of VPN protocols and types of encryption and authentication they've got apps for Windows Mac OS Android iOS Linux and Google Chrome they can connect up to five devices at the same time their speeds are fantastic as long as you've got the CPU for it like I've seen I've seen like 30 megabytes a second just like crush my 9900 K in a VM so it's only is it two cores or for course pre-course I don't know but it's that like 70% you anyway it's PIAA I can't say enough good things about it check it out today at LM GGG / p ia when we've got that linked right there and a VPN is good for all kinds of things it's super affordable just do it you want to something a weird interesting fact that I just remember today PA was the first VPN that we used when we were trying to work on and diagnose things with the forum if you remember like way vacuuming way the hack back in the day the first VPN I ever had you pay for for working on forum stuff was PA so technically we've gone way the heck back with them I also have a confession to make while we were still working with tunnel bear I had a paid PIAA account I have a free one now because we're working with them I usually do I still pay for it I don't think so I did too I did use tunnel bear and actually I actually have a really hilarious ton of a tunnel bear story which did I ever tell you about how I saved Intel at PAX yes you did yeah with tunnel there so for some reason battle.net black black listed all of Intel's IPs for some reason to log into battle.net I love that you call it Donald net but carry on because that's what it used to be called back in like the Warcraft to Starcraft days anyways battlenet battle.net the they couldn't log it none of the streamers or competitors there could login to their battle on net accounts battlenet accounts whatever to play overwatch so what I did was I I teamed up with some Intel employees and I got everyone to run around and saw tunnel bear on all the computers and then they would just turned tunnel bear on login turned to little bear off play the game it was great and it worked the whole event they just turned 12 bear on and off to login every time it was awesome the thing about tunnel bear was ease of use yeah exactly I could sell that all day based on the ease of use because like my mom could do it and it was so and it's not just remember ease of use is more than just how many buttons you have to press it's like how friendly the buttons look honestly it it does matter I recommended tunnel there to certain people and I recommended PIAA to certain people yeah and I use tunnel various situations where I just needed something really quick and just for like a couple minutes and it wasn't even necessarily my computer or whatever just get it going free account flow plate and Chad is mad they're like they literally changed it back to battle.net because no one said whatever they renamed it to so I don't know what you're talking about what I know I don't know if that sounds right John says everyone I know calls it battlenet for sure battlenet now redirects to just Blizzard comm yeah so I don't know you guys I think you guys are all just a little bit on the og side here well Blizzard battle.net desktop app yes I don't think they ever changed the actual terminology but what do they call it a keynote I think they call it Battlement also we have another sponsor join honey

match you can still do that you save 10% on the whole thing do you want to talk about this not really actually I don't even care about the monetization aspect of it like we're probably going to lose my position on the land show if we do but like who cares I guess I also personally don't find it like I mean I'm down I'm down not against it I just don't find it very interesting so the original sources from the steam community actually it's an announcement so steam will not be distributing a game called rape day mounting following mounting outrage calling on valve to ban it so this was I came about because of a change.org petition and apparently it's a visual novel where you control the choices of a sociopath during a zombie apocalypse according to the developers website you can virtually harass verbally harassed verb yeah verbally verbally harassed kill people and rape women only women now I wonder if you can rape men it says it says specifically women and it's a quote okay so I guess I guess no no dudes as you progress through the story you can do these things yeah and it's a visual novel which okay that's a completely different conversation but like is that even a game who knows but whatever I guess you have choices but choose your own adventure books are those a game so after a game called active shooter debuted on Steam last year the company posted an explanation of their decision to allow any games to be put on the platform as long as they were illegal yeah they described a new system of tags and filters to either hide or put speed bumps between users and content they considered too gory too violent too sexual or generally too mature however they decided not to distribute rape Day saying the move comes after significant fact-finding and discussion we think rape day poses unknown costs and risks and therefore won't be on Steam we respect developers desires to express themselves and the purpose of steam is to help developers find an audience but this developer has chosen content matter and a way of representing it that makes it very difficult for us to help them do that so in an email Wednesday night the developer of the game acknowledged steam might not be the best platform for the game I think I might agree with steam that my game is not right is not the right fit for a distribution site that is marketed at the general masses and children my next move is to sell the game on my own site maybe that would have been a better move for me from the start so I guess he gets it or she so I don't know if what I'm about to say is unpopular I don't personally think rape is any worse than murder in that okay I mean we could argue you know levels of inexcusable I suppose but they're both well over the threshold of things that you actually can't do right so it's they're both these are more than two extreme forbidden yes and so I guess I am sort of wondering what the difference is between a game where you can joyfully kill people versus a game where you can joyfully I mean maybe it's the fact that you can kill people so fast like if there was a torture game torture simulator are we having a similar conversation Wow someone's gonna make it now there's also lots of games that include torture whether I mean it's not necessarily the main focus of the game but technically in this one it seems like you could go along without ever actually raping anyone you could verbally harass everyone maybe is that an option and you'd be just a minor jerk in this game I haven't and I don't intend to I'm not going to find out cuz I don't care I don't know I I just I'm here what you're saying I'm gonna come from the angle of hit me it's steam they can do whatever they want it's probably coming private platform you have a platform if they decide they don't want to do it then they're deciding they don't want to do it I think a lot of people seem to forget that in a lot of different situations where they are putting where they are saying like hey platform you cannot do this because of because of my whatever Amendment rights or whatever no it's a private company now if you want to talk to them and you're like you shouldn't do this because me and all my people are going to leave your platform because we want to be able to say or do whatever that's a different stance but saying you can't do this because of whatever right that's not how that works unless what they are doing is illegal but but they are allowed to not allow certain things on their platform absolute so I'm completely ok with steam doing this if steam decided to take FTL one of my favorite games ever off the platform I'd be like wow that's really annoying maybe I'll go get my money somewhere else but I'm not gonna be like that some Humble Bundle or something exactly I'll find a different way to do the epics game store so I completely defend their ability to not have it on the platform I also would never have this show up because of the tagging system so I don't really care because I would never see it so it doesn't necessarily matter to me because how I'm not gonna enable the tag that shows that so yeah ok I guess that's all I really have to say on the subject I'm not I can check if the floatplane peeps have anything to contribute here I mean the thing is that I guess the the distinction steam is making here is not between the severity of the crime being committed by the character in the game but rather the cultural climate and potential results of the emcee being seen as endorsing for whatever reason killing for fun and you know brutally in video games is just culturally fine yeah even like really really really brutal stuff is culturally fine but that's because we're more ok with physical violence I guess I guess so yeah or at least depictions of physical violence alright well um that's the thing that happened yeah yeah in other news oh shoot no there was something else I was gonna talk about oh man now I totally forget this sucks before the sponsors buzz yeah now remember what we were talking about uh dang it uh-oh oh uh uh it's not the thing but LTX guys yeah guys if you want tickets for LTX um move fast so this is the blog post from today two weeks ago we opened sales for an event that is happening in July so it's like not for a while since then we completely sold out of the 250 guided office tours we completely sold out of the VIP tickets actually that wasn't about the first minute we're fine Peter um we sold all 500 BYOC seats so I still need a good considering Peter's reminding me right now in chat your flow we flow plane people need computers at seat area don't worry we've got you okay cool yeah yeah I just keep reminding every once in a while so the 500 b-y-o-see seats are the ones that are for sale yeah and I'm assuming there's like two other ones I'm just any influencers that show up are going to have a seat in case they want to play that's actually pretty sweet so if J shows up and he's like yeah I'm guys I'm not doing meet-and-greet right now I can actually I can imagine them saying it exactly like that besides I'm not doing meet-and-greet right now I gotta go play some games uh yeah you don't have a BYOC ticket I'm sorry I I got to go play video games now we're still wrong I could totally Victor I'm just saying that yeah and we've sold around 1,800 two-day event passes that is over half of the tickets that are available for the convention and we've like barely been selling them and it's a while until the convention so you should probably pre buy her two also we haven't yet confirmed any of the other influencers that are coming that isn't to say that we don't know they're coming I mean we haven't come out and said if you want to meet so-and-so be there and we have reason to believe there will be tech influencers there other than just me if you don't give two hoots about Linus Sebastian from Linus tech tips I don't know why you're watching right now but that's fine that's cool you know we're good but if you do care about other people there is a chance we're even bringing in some like sub 1 million subscriber creators just like come on come on down come be here it's a big party let's have fun so yeah uh many of you expressed frustration that you weren't able to pick up a BYOC pass in time we are actually trying to arrange more seating but to do so we have to revamp our layout and make sure we still meet our safety requirements so the fire marshal has some say in terms of how we layout the venue but we'll let you know through social media so make sure you're following LTX Expo on Twitter and if you're waiting to purchase a ticket which we would not recommend over half of the available tickets are already spoken for please note that prices will increase by about 20% with each wave of ticket releases so the dates for the next waves are April 20th and July 1st so don't screw around just get your tickets ordered so they're at d8j e / l TX 19 we're gonna have that linked below someone asked will you come to Dreamhack well which one what are you talking about exactly because Dreamhack is gonna be here yeah well okay now to be clear this is not a zombie oh gee yeah it's not Dreamhack yeah it's a b-y-o-see land powered by Dreamhack we're collaborating with Dreamhack yeah now it's possible that if this goes really really well Dreamhack would be like this was great we're gonna bring a full fat Dreamhack event to Vancouver well they they like immediately sold all the BYZ tickets so might be in your best interest and it's also possible because Dreamhack and Linus Media Group each have no way of knowing how much the the other affected the sales of these tickets but what we do know is that together we're fire yeah so there's a chance that we could turn that fire into a fire festival of sorts Oh sorry I knew something was coming because I could tell by your facial expressions but I didn't think it and is possible but even if they brought a full Dreamhack event to Vancouver the bank of our Convention Center has lots more space there's a good chance that we could just have a full fat LTX you have full fat Dreamhack and we could just like continue to collaborate select yeah and they're having a lot of fun working with those guys so far and we're really excited super cool all right groan why can possibly go wrong it's gonna be fire yo oh wow this was the topic the game you've been enjoying lately rightful points out for you to know thank you very much Thank You flow plane chat I've been playing cross-code cross-code right yeah so you know how I've been telling you that one of the things that I'd love to do as just like a totally stupid maybe I would never get there but you know I have I have more money than I know what to do with I'm gonna I'm gonna put it all in a in a dumpster light it on fire and hope that something good comes out of it well it would be it would be deafening a game yeah this is basically like what I would have wanted to make it's it's a really retro styled 2d fuzzy team demo apparently still have they have a web demo anyway it's it's difficult it's got a really creative story I'm not that far into the actual main storyline just cuz I've been spending so much time just like grinding for XP and doing side missions and like and stuff like that when a game is really good that can be awesome so like whatever so I don't know how deep the story goes but it's a really good concept so far I'm really enjoying it it's legitimately difficult although I think part of the problem might be that I'm playing with a controller and I just assumed because it's a top-down RPG that like controller was the way to go but then even with my trackpad for a second I was like oh these keyboard mouse controls actually seem pretty mature and there's like a lot of weird bindings on the controller we're like if you press this one it does this but if you press this one and this one it does and and if you press this one while pointing in a direction like at exactly the right moment it doesn't have your thing I'm like maybe this was a keyboard mouse I assume but now I know all the controls of the controller and I'm getting good with it so I'm like Africa but yeah it's like legitimately quite difficult and really really really enjoying it it doesn't you can you can turn it into a modern game because you can change everything from the enemy's attack rate to the amount of damage they do to the amount of damage you do yeah you told me about that but you're - you were not gonna turn it's never gonna happen no look no beating game look I almost lectured my son because he's playing Super Mario 3d World is that the one for the Wii U that's not right yeah I think so move the catsuit yeah yeah he's playing Super Mario 3d World or has been playing Super Mario 3d World over the last little while and he I walked in once and he was in like a white cat suit just like walking through all the enemies and he was like yeah you have to like die a lot of times and then at the beginning of the level there's like the white cat suit and this is like the best way to beat all the levels and I was like finish but that is actually not the best way to beat the game because that is not beating the game that is staring at the game I mean you still have to like not fall off platforms and stuff but it's not exactly hard making this really easy game yeah so I was very disappointed in him and we're gonna need to work together fortunately he's already better at smash than me so there's that he's actually pretty decent smashing he hasn't even played that much like I I had never played the smash on rocky before yeah all right I've never played that one and I just with a nunchuck and nunchuck turn to the side it's a little wonky it's actually oddly like nunchuck turn demon classic controller I thought that was super weird so I switched just a nunchuck mean the Wiimote yeah you can't play oh sorry sorry sorry the nunchucks the extra part yeah so I was playing with the Wiimote turned to the side and that was that was whole thing was very weird but I it was a bit of a struggle fest to try to beat him and I was like that's weird because I'm actually I'm not great at smash but I'm like pretty decent yeah I don't know so maybe he just needs to play against other people cuz he's definitely a hyper competitive kid yeah like definitely um anything new in terms of like floatplane I mean Peters in the chat so the transcode upload system mainly the transcript system that's been under work since basically Peter joined the company other than him fixing the the live chat that everyone's talking on right now just in case you like the live chat work Peter yeah that upload transcript system is in pre prod right now and is performing quite admirably we need to we need to be a little bit more aggressive about thrashing it and trying to kill it but so far it's it's doing quite well and the it's funny cuz you fix all these problems and you come up with new systems and then you're like oh yeah that problem that we've totally known about that didn't really matter is now like super import because all the other ones have been solved but uploads to floatplane have been kind of slow for a long time and like from certain areas globally they're really not great like maybe don't work well that didn't matter as much when the transcodes barely worked but now the skits are doing great we need to try to figure out the upload thing as well so now that's being worked on and Peter already has some some great ideas and we've already been looking into stuff which is cool mainly Peter and AJ I said we but I haven't done a lot of that part so thanks guys people oh yeah speaking of us beating a floatplane actually I wanted to also the app is almost ready for open source it's almost ready did we even say online show we were open sourcing the app yet I don't know there you go we're gonna be open sourcing the app it's it's come along Jaden's working on that and it's it's getting very close to being ready for open-source developers to jump in and have fun with it sick all right I'm trying to think of of what else there's some the like FAQ support the Search Search Channel wide search is coming in hot that shouldn't be too long from now I'm trying to think of of what else yeah we're actually getting shockingly close so there's a ton of like general front-end updates and improvements that are happening we're getting shockingly close to being able to bring other people honor yeah speaking of other people that are already on so tech deals that is doing a giveaway right now I just posted it in the floatplane and YouTube chats he's giving away for RTX 2060s so he's got six videos up in early access on floatplane wants people to go subscribe on him subscribe over there of course but yeah I just posted his tweet giving all the details in both the floatplane and the YouTube chat so I said I would I said I'd give him a shout out there for that oh he's giving them away just a floatplane subs oh is he really early giving away for RTF 26 to GPUs early access for floatplane subs i don't know what he means I don't know either so maybe not whatever full details in his tweet you guys can figure it out with him yeah oh yeah there we go okay okay all that's left then is some super chats would you guys are theoretical enigma says would you guys ever consider taking LMG public I'd love to invest in the company it has a bright future in my opinion it has a really bright future in my opinion too and that's exactly why I will not be taking any outside investment a big part of why I believe we've and this is I hope not just my ego you know getting carried away I don't think it is but a big part of why we've been successful is that I have had the luxury of being able to stay 100% true to my and by my I mean me and Yvonne because she is a critical part of everything that happens here staying true to my vision that we were so close to having not because I wanted one but being forced to have an outside stakeholder there have been so many times over the last six years that I have been so grateful that we don't because there might have been some kind of crazy decision like okay at the time we made it the decision to move into this gigantic studio space was nuts it was gonna put us in debt for a very long time it was totally unnecessary because we we were still capable of utilizing the space that we had but if I if I hadn't made that decision when I did we wouldn't have gotten to the point where we could be sustainable in this space because we never would have been able to hire those people and the company never would have grown and that's something that I don't want to have a stupid like shareholders meeting and explain my rationale we're doing it this way because it's Linus Media Group and because I believe I know what's best for it and I mean there's other things too like yeah we've you know I don't want to I actually don't want to give too much detail the way we run this thing though is I like to run it as close to a family business as we can and it's gotten more difficult over the years there's actually something again I think because your family's huge dude earlier in the show about having kind of been doing a lot of soul-searching lately and it's gotten harder because we have so many people here now that's like it's harder for me to just get to know I have never met everyone Riley's brother Barrett I have never met him and he's done a fair bit of contract work for us actually I will see him walk past everyone somewhere I'm like oh yeah it's that dude that I don't know and have never met that works in the same building what I know it's weird man like there's and like Jayden had never met Riley and then Riley sat next to Jayden and they met for the first time ever working in the same building for a while like months yeah and so because because I'm in control and by I I mean me and Yvonne whether it's because we want to expand and or whether it's because maybe at some point we might make the decision that we don't want to get any bigger but whatever it is we can do that and we can do that as a team with the kind of transparency that I feel like I've given my staff over the years that way we can make these decisions together and there's no pressure to outside investors to give them a return on their investment because that's not what this business anyway is about for me there's even there's even smaller stuff like buying the two Reds yeah I want to explain that to anyone no and there was no business case for it I mean honestly the biggest reason that we did that was because it was like an optics thing we were a tech channel using outdated tech for our production and I was like well I guess we need to I guess we need to like if we're gonna be on the cutting edge I was like okay well I guess we'll try and get a bunch of content out of it like we'll do videos about workstations that can handle 8k and we'll like we'll experiment with the footage and we'll we'll do videos about sort of the workflow changes that we have to make and well like we'll try and get some content out of it but ultimately it was about making sure that if we're supposed to be cutting edge content creators that were using cutting edge tools in order to do it and then the other reason that was sort of a close runner-up I guess was that Brandon is probably my most expensive employee not because he necessarily has the highest salary or takes up the most space in the building but because in order to keep his creative juices flowing it requires a constant outpouring of resources into new gear so that we can continue to try to push boundaries not necessarily on every video we upload plenty of like vlogs that are just shot shoulder held that could have just as easily been shot on a Panasonic gh4 but there's one coming a review of the Corsair of the new Corsair one on Saturday that's just it's just gorgeous and so there's different there's weird bits to it too like one of it is I didn't understand a lot of stuff before I became a boss of people one of them was one of your expenditures as a company is like doing things that your employee wants to do if that makes sense and like increasing someone's job satisfaction was part of the expenditure of buying something yeah you wanted that thing and yeah I made things better but you also bought it because you're like Kate well I like this person I want them to stay around so I'm gonna kind of throw them a bone here and there's also other parts of it where like I still love that the intro to my amethyst PC build is freaking beautiful because whenever I want to show someone I'm like look at this incredibly well filmed incredibly beautiful intro that's all you need to see there you go and like it so it it adds things in other ways as well and those those types of concepts are really not necessarily even difficult to explain but difficult to show the value to an investor who probably doesn't care exactly so you just don't and like part of it is cause like we're just enthusiasts we don't need 10 gig networking on every port in the office but earlier on the stream I was saying that we blew like 7 grand on switches so that we can have that so if we were to plug literally anything into any port in our office it's gonna be 10 gig baby why why not I mean even the new Internet I was like oh oh dedicated wavelength is available now how many was that I could probably squeeze that um we'll figure out what to do with it yeah let's get let's get it scheduled you know like I don't know we because the thing is like we're not like we're not really a traditional kind of company I don't think what we're doing has ever been done before and I don't mean that there aren't other companies like I don't know mythical yeah like mythical entertainment or the ones with the trick shots do perfect yeah like those are probably perfect examples of other teams that are doing something quite similar but I mean collectively the teams that are doing this this whole group of has never been done before and so the thing is that I think a lot of traditional business people probably wouldn't understand that we have to do things just because they're fun because if we don't have fun you guys aren't gonna have fun and then nobody's having fun and what's the point it bleeds through the camera way more than you'd realize it's pretty crazy wow that was a really long answer to that question I'm very sorry Andre Luke that works what about questions when yo asks every team just curious yes I love poutine but only good poutine yes and a shocking amount of poutine sucks yes it's very basic okay the cheese is supposed to be melted so if the gravy isn't hot it's not good how is that complicated : yeah poutine like it's ridiculous okay I'm a slow eater but you can make the fries properly for that they just have to be little bit crispier yeah oh they will for sure but you should make crispy your fries with it yeah besides you can always like fork and knife ins you can fork a knife it when it gets like yeah you know a little soggy but the point is if you start out with cheese that is not sufficiently melted because you got lukewarm friggin gravy on it does it stupid like 80% of the poutine I've ever had has not been sufficiently melted yeah you had one job let's melt the cheese because how do you make cheese and gravy and french fries gross it's like that's hard all you have to it has to be hot food is supposed to be hot unless it's ice cream in which case look the thing is it sounds stupid coming out of my mouth because it's so obvious but people can't do it so I have to explain it to them dealing with the real problem I want to explain this to people I have better things to do oh my goodness like explain to other things like tech stuff gamer off topic says how's the hiring process going hope it's not super stressful I actually haven't been involved in most of it like that's one of the behind the scenes thing that Yvonne does she's been training ed and Nick and Colton and I think there's I think even Tyler's been involved in some of the hiring lately so there's been a lot of it I'm actually some some applications and some positions are getting to me now so the warehouse assistant position I have three resumes on my desk to call and then the writers are gonna take me a long time we're hiring a couple of writers that's a very yeah that's a tough one I make the wrong call with a writer and like the content sucks it like that there's nothing more foundational to our business then like the content idea and the writing and it's gonna take a while to get a writer up to speed and all that kind of stuff so it's gonna be hard to tell for quite a while you can see in his eyes yeah yeah Colton why is he gone I dunno are we allowed to talk about the the the the madrenas thing like how much detail can we give about that not much okay a lot of stuffs kind of secret stuff now yeah king CCG says I work in tech for a high value mortgage company I'm allowed to go to one event a year do you do business packages for your media conference no it's not really a media conference I don't think you're gonna justify getting this one continent uh-huh what a business package be I have no idea I'm sure they have them cuz like there's lots of conferences that not just our more business-oriented but are like super expensive to attend apparently IBM think tickets are like hundreds or thousands of dollars or something like that yeah I'm just like dudududu this is cool we have a video coming from IBM think pretty soon Peters speaking at a conference about some of the work he's done on flow plane oh that's cool yeah I don't know how big I didn't look too far into it he was like can I do this I didn't even click on I was like yeah that's sweet awesome I just think that's really cool I think it's cool that someone's gonna go talk about the stuff they've worked on that flow plane at a conference and it's it's about I believe it's docker for tea peeps or so that's still cool Peter it is amazing how high-profile float plane is yeah like people have heard of it yeah one of the like one of the friends of the the main the main guy behind vessel showed up at a wedding that I was at recently and was like hey how's floatplane going I was like that's funny thank you for asking Jason says just switched over from two float plane will clean cool and mobile in the app I mean I guess it depends it's gonna be an open-source app so what makes it our cool show says Luke what are you doing - crash Firefox also try survived IO what are you doing for crash Firefox on wall it says can we please get more camera reviews by Brendan the new pocket camera yes so our first one of the new pocket camera which isn't that small by the way it's hardly pocket anyway our first one was broken so it's taken us a long time to get a fixed one because they're they have no supply because they're black magic so yeah someone in chat sorry someone a full plane shot saddest floatplane plan to be a tech oriented platformer do you guys have plan on having multiple different types of creators we actually have a different type creator that isn't tech person who's extremely interested in joining and will hopefully be on the flop platform and not way too long that I am like extremely excited about and you probably even remember within like weeks of making the platform I was like it would be really cool if we had this guy but I can't say who but we don't want to count any chickens before they're exactly yeah yeah yeah but we're bullish yeah it's actually kind of crazy there's been so many times over the last two and a half years that's almost been there's been so many times has almost died yeah like or almost look like it's not gonna work and then every time it kind of doesn't matter because we go and talk to creators and they're interested yeah they're just like it's like what do you like about us well you're not Google and you're not Amazon okay that's a pretty low hanging fruit I guess but like that's how important Trust is in business and that's something that I actually didn't necessarily fully understand about this product before we started creating it was that even though that was in a lot of the write-ups it was like hey you can trust us I didn't necessarily think that people would trust us but what's kind of cool is that our reputation among the Creator community actually seems to be pretty good strong even though we don't really talk to anybody like you were saying you were at twitchcon twitchcon twitchcon is a wild experience like you would be it would be honestly for you you'd probably get recognized by a lot more of the fans as well but at twitchcon there is actually much less of a crossover than you would expect of the fans I think there's a lot of people that are either twitch people or YouTube people and who has a viewership yeah so when I walk around twitchcon there's some fans that'll come up to me but way way less than somewhere like pax or a more tech oriented convention but what will happen is there'll be like a group of fans around a creator and the creator will like pause things for a second and push through the group of fans to come say hi to me because he's seen our content or she's seen our content because they need to build a computer for streaming or whatever else apparently I helped an munition build her first computer suite alright so I didn't meet her until obviously years later when we were like on a panel together yeah and she like didn't even tell me she just like said it and I was like I don't think that video ever got released which is really frustrating it was only like little snippets that were part of like like a keynote or something so unfortunately was actually a really great conversation it was me 7s ammunition was his name now I feel really that already sounds like a wicked pet anyway yeah it was it was really fun and the moderator for it was like really good I forget her name - unfortunately I'm so rude sometimes I'm just so bad with names - but that sounds like an awesome anyway yeah it was it was great and just like the vast majority of it will never see the light of day which socks I the one interesting one you've known I was a fan of day 9 forever zzzz I met him at a twitchcon like a year - ago have even told me this story I don't think so I was I was hanging out met him and he didn't know who I was I was just with a friend of mine who knows him very well right and he was like you want to go hang with day-night after I was talking about how much I liked Dean I was like what and then he brought me to go hang out with him and we're just like sitting around at some at some like hotel lobby thing for a while it's it's after the show day 9 was on stage like all day with Conan O'Brien he's like tired and just kind of relaxing and everyone's just kind of hanging out but I start talking to him and I'm like I don't want a fangirl for too long but like I I appreciate everything you've done and you like helped me find my voice I started being a creator and all this kind of stuff he's like oh that's cool what's your channel and I was like I've been working on last exhibition he's like you're from widest tek-tips it's like he's like you guys are huge I was like that's pretty sweet that was when I did more like stuff with the channel but like yeah yeah hey you're still in wine show that's true yeah but yeah that was like that was kind of a wild moment oh speaking of still in win show I'm probably gonna get in trouble for talking about this oh but we do have a little a little video series that you might have heard of before that that we weren't really sure about doing another season of because it seemed like maybe it had kind of run its course it doesn't get it's not about the views yeah the community sentiment wasn't great really yeah the earlier part of the season okay yeah yeah anyway anyway little series that you might have heard of called scrapyard Wars and we are still working on a sponsor for season eight or nine or whatever it's gonna be at this point but I think I have like Luke and I have a doc like ideas for scrapyard Wars and I kind of threw it all out well part of the problem was we kind of ran out of most of the ideas on the dock that were local we've kind of used yes traveling for scrap bird wars is obscenely expensive or we've come up with other problems that interfere with them like the fact that everyone like recognizes us locally but I came up with a new concept well I was just sitting thinking about something totally unrelated that I think is gonna make for the best season yet so instead of being a 1 V 1 or 2 V 2 it's actually going to be 3 V 3 ok so the stakes are already higher instead of just building a tower you are now responsible for a tower monitor keyboard mouse audio solution desk and chair an entire gaming setup so there's six players and each individual is responsible for an entire setup then where the teamwork element comes in at the beginning of the season we're going to go head to head in our land center that we're working on so with everybody on an even playing field good computers we're gonna go head to head and figure out what the fairest teams would be then we're gonna split along those lines and instead of having a benchmark off at the end of the season we are going to game for the trophy now here's the catch there's always a catch each player is only going to get my haven't a hundred percent decided on it but I think it's probably going to be in the neighborhood of about five hundred everything and like okay you had a really good one with sound you want sound you gotta buy it you want a good keyboard or Mouse you got to buy it that could be almost that whole budget for some people legitimately right so you will have your team will have to make decisions like are we going to have headphones or tits like does one person have to listen for everyone and shout out instructions do we do we do we go for better mice or do we go for sound do we do do we spend more on the hardware so we have a good frame rate but are we literally running on ball mice do we pool resources and try to have one more wicked setup and everyone else is Michi I think it's gonna be hilarious so I'm really excited so it's gonna come down to which team can perform best on the battlefield so we don't run into another situation where a point one FPS difference ultimately results in the trophy being handed out to the wrong person Wow so it's freaking fired oh man so I'm really excited the one rule in terms of teams and I don't know who's gonna be involved yet as talent but the one rule in terms of teams is that luke and i will definitely not be on the same team because each team is going to need an experienced scrapyard wars er is probably going to cost us an absolute fortune to do because not only is the shooting gonna be more complicated like previously we've had the rule that the team after stay together so that their shooter can capture everything yeah we're not going to be able to do that you have to build three setups so we're gonna need somewhere between four and six shooters so that's gonna be expensive I have some ideas for that okay I will that might actually save you a ton of money we will brainstorm those okay also the Edit is going to be much more complicated because you're gonna have all these storylines oh yeah and all these video sources like this is going to cost a fortune for us to do but I got and so I had kind of given up because in order for us to keep raising the stakes I mean that's why TV shows get cancelled because all of a sudden you've got all these additional actors for all the new characters you've introduced over the years you've got all these new sets and locations that it just it becomes unsustainable and everyone wants a raise every season like it's like you have to everything has to get crazier every time that's right the big bad has to be bigger and badder we jump the shark you know and then you're like okay forget it we're done right so we don't want to jump the shark but this was an idea that I went No this is good enough that it's different and it's going to be fun and it's going to be exciting and the show down at the end like I want it to be best two out of three and the best two out of three of those so three games with each game being a best two out of three turning and it could be like we couldn't livestream it unfortunately because then we'd give it away two months before the season actually starts airing but anyway okay whatever well if you could livestream like everything is over the finals and we could capture the entire thing actually and we could just have that as like a floatplane exclusive if you guys want to watch the entire tournament yeah because otherwise it's only gonna be able to be highlights yeah but but anyway that that final showdown because there could be like back and forth like maybe in FPS the people who spent more on their mouse and their Tower have an advantage but maybe in a MOBA game where it's not quite as as sensitive maybe there's an advantage to the people with you know uh bigger monitor I don't know there's there's also gonna have to be a little bit of like maybe FPS some quite so important you know like yeah you have to say it's me a little bit of like trust in sportsmanship as well but I think course I think everyone will be cool like we're gonna have to balance the teams a little bit based on like how good people are at different games yeah like I don't think anyone here is gonna throw no like but like animal and I'm saying that now because I know there's gonna be comments about that if it ever comes up but I genuinely don't think anyone that would partake in this competition would throw or do anything ridiculous I know sandbagging yeah we have been live for almost an hour and a half we should probably go home okay it's like 6:45 okay uh so sorry bye guys got sorry byes guy next week same bat-time same bat-channel five Peter a gun stream over Peters tele able to spam and flow play chat go go go what why he wants to see if it's gonna crash okay
