[4093.00 --> 4095.00] But, Chrome completely crashed.
[4095.00 --> 4099.00] The greatness of the Stormtrooper wrap crashed Chrome.
[4099.00 --> 4101.00] So, um.
[4101.00 --> 4104.00] So, I would love to link that to you guys.
[4104.00 --> 4108.00] But, basically they've taken, I think it was about a half a dozen consumer grade SSDs.
[4108.00 --> 4113.00] And just put them on a bench where they're being written to constantly and then monitored.
[4113.00 --> 4116.00] So, every once in a while they take them off the bench and see if they're still working.
[4116.00 --> 4120.00] And they all go way past their rated write speeds.
[4120.00 --> 4124.00] Which is already way more than most people are going to write to it.
[4124.00 --> 4126.00] But, 30 gigs per 40 minutes.
[4126.00 --> 4132.00] We can extrapolate that to 45 gigs per hour for a game that you could potentially log a hundred hours on.
[4132.00 --> 4133.00] A hundred hours on.
[4133.00 --> 4135.00] A game like Dragon Age Inquisition.
[4135.00 --> 4138.00] I logged a hundred hours easy on Origin.
[4138.00 --> 4139.00] Yeah.
[4139.00 --> 4140.00] I don't know if it's going to be-
[4140.00 --> 4141.00] Origins.
[4141.00 --> 4142.00] I hate Origin.
[4142.00 --> 4143.00] Love Origins.
[4143.00 --> 4145.00] I don't know if it's going to be quite as big of a game.
[4145.00 --> 4147.00] But it'll still be a very expansive.
[4147.00 --> 4149.00] Like, it's going to take a while.
[4149.00 --> 4150.00] For sure.
[4150.00 --> 4151.00] Yeah.
[4151.00 --> 4152.00] Um.
[4152.00 --> 4161.00] But, that is still a completely unnecessary thing to do that damages the computer hardware that the game is installed on.
[4161.00 --> 4162.00] And I do not approve of that whatsoever.
[4162.00 --> 4163.00] Yeah.
[4163.00 --> 4164.00] That's no fun.
[4164.00 --> 4165.00] Alright.
[4165.00 --> 4166.00] What else we got here?
[4166.00 --> 4168.00] We got lots of great topics still this week.
[4168.00 --> 4170.00] There's the wow thing.
[4170.00 --> 4171.00] There's the counter strike thing.
[4171.00 --> 4173.00] Oh, let's do the counter strike thing.
[4173.00 --> 4174.00] Okay.
[4174.00 --> 4175.00] How much do you know about this?
[4175.00 --> 4178.00] Because this is very much an in development story right now.
[4178.00 --> 4179.00] Yeah.
[4179.00 --> 4182.00] So you guys will have to forgive us if we're a little bit behind the eight ball or-
[4182.00 --> 4189.00] Forgive us if we're a little bit behind and take everything with a grain of salt because a lot of this right now is kind of speculation.
[4189.00 --> 4190.00] Speculation.
[4190.00 --> 4193.00] It's speculation that's happening now.
[4193.00 --> 4194.00] Yeah.
[4194.00 --> 4197.00] There's definitely some weight behind the speculation.
[4197.00 --> 4198.00] Yeah.
[4198.00 --> 4199.00] Um.
[4199.00 --> 4200.00] But it's still a lot of speculation.
[4200.00 --> 4208.00] Now things that aren't speculation is that two players from top 20 global pro teams have been VAC banned.
[4208.00 --> 4213.00] And I believe two teams have been dropped out of the Winter Dreamhack tournament.
[4213.00 --> 4214.00] Yeah.
[4214.00 --> 4217.00] So we're talking a quarter million dollar prize.
[4217.00 --> 4222.00] And they have been disqualified for players on their teams.
[4222.00 --> 4227.00] And their teams have kicked those two players out of their respective teams at this point in time.
[4227.00 --> 4228.00] Um.
[4228.00 --> 4230.00] So they're not trying to back them up or fight it.
[4230.00 --> 4231.00] They got kicked out.
[4231.00 --> 4232.00] Yeah.
[4232.00 --> 4235.00] Both players admitted to using, uh, to using an exploit.
[4235.00 --> 4239.00] I'm going to call it an exploit as opposed to, uh, let's just call it a cheat, I guess.
[4239.00 --> 4240.00] Yeah.
[4240.00 --> 4241.00] Yeah.
[4241.00 --> 4242.00] Yeah.
[4242.00 --> 4245.00] I mean, the way the cheat was executed is you could call an exploit.
[4245.00 --> 4246.00] Uh, theoretically.
[4246.00 --> 4247.00] Theoretically.
[4247.00 --> 4248.00] This is speculation.
[4248.00 --> 4249.00] This is all speculative.
[4249.00 --> 4252.00] But again, it makes a ton of sense on a lot of people.
[4252.00 --> 4256.00] This has been going around like through the grapevine for a while now that this might have been happening.
[4256.00 --> 4262.00] So the fact that this is now going on validates that a little bit.
[4262.00 --> 4270.00] But the idea is that they were getting this, uh, hack or cheat or whatever, exploit, whatever you want to call it, through the, uh, what is it called?
[4270.00 --> 4271.00] The Steam Workshop.
[4271.00 --> 4272.00] The Steam Workshop.
[4272.00 --> 4279.00] So even if you were at a quote unquote LAN event, which is just where the other team you're playing against is also there and your team is there.
[4279.00 --> 4281.00] You're not just on LAN.
[4281.00 --> 4283.00] You usually have an internet connection because they're usually streamed.
[4283.00 --> 4292.00] Um, even at a LAN event where you're not using your own computer, they would sign into their own accounts because they want to show if there's skins and stuff because it's CSGO.
[4292.00 --> 4299.00] Um, and then the Steam Workshop would automatically download it onto that computer.
[4299.00 --> 4302.00] So you wouldn't see them like installing anything fishy.
[4302.00 --> 4304.00] It would just happen automatically in the background.
[4304.00 --> 4311.00] Um, and the way it allegedly works, it could be, it could be done very, very subtly.
[4311.00 --> 4324.00] So, uh, for example, one of the ones I was talking to Ed about earlier today was a wall hack that all it would do was change the color of one pixel when there is an opposing character on the other side of a surface.
[4324.00 --> 4337.00] Even someone looking over your shoulder might kind of go, well, and then, and then move on because if they weren't aware of, if they weren't aware to look for something like that, then how could they possibly know?
[4337.00 --> 4341.00] Or even stuff like, um, audio cues.
[4341.00 --> 4344.00] Like, it could ping an audio cue if you're pointing at someone through a wall.
[4344.00 --> 4348.00] So if you do a sweep across a wall, it could ping at you if there's an, if there's something there.
[4348.00 --> 4349.00] A lot of the guys wear earbuds.
[4349.00 --> 4357.00] Yep, there was, uh, allegedly, rumoredly, speculatedly, a panic button, uh, one button sort of toggled aim assist.
[4357.00 --> 4363.00] All of this is unconfirmed by any legitimate source and is based on code of the hack briefly posted to Reddit.
[4363.00 --> 4377.00] Um, there's speculation that there was, so button toggled vision assist, audio cue'd vision assist, and then button toggled aim assist were all allegedly within this steam workshop allegedly downloaded, uh, hacks.
[4377.00 --> 4379.00] So, all of this is maybes.
[4379.00 --> 4396.00] Both, okay, what's not maybes is both of the players that were banned, so Kali, uh, spelled K-Q-L-Y, from Titan, and SF from Epsilon, so these guys are from globally 9th ranked teams and 19th ranked teams overall, have admitted to using them.
[4396.00 --> 4403.00] So, Kali released a statement apologizing for the behavior and assuring everyone that the cheating did not occur in a competitive setting.
[4403.00 --> 4408.00] And then Epsilon, uh, I think, alleged, uh, admitted to using it once.
[4408.00 --> 4415.00] And also not in a competitive setting, although that looks like it's been pulled out of the dock since I was reading it before the show, so that might-
[4415.00 --> 4416.00] So who knows.
[4416.00 --> 4422.00] Everything is very much in flux right now, but the big discussion here is, what do we compare this to?
[4422.00 --> 4423.00] I mean, what does-
[4423.00 --> 4425.00] No, neither cheats were used in a competitive setting, it just dropped down.
