day one of asking matt to play clash of clans also known as coc
01:26 "Ever growing roaster"? Who's bringing the chicken?
@@VacuumIamhe played that game for charity if you do not remember
"forty thousand" hehe, you haven't played a lot of warhammer 40k, have you XD
@@WouterVerbruggenHe's obviously played tons, why else would they sponsor him? 😂
Imagine being laid off from your job and when you ask what you did wrong, they tell you "Oh, nothing, it was just easier to fire you than connect you to the internet."
with how some companies are i wouldnt even be surprised 😭
"Lack of network planning has really stressed out our 1 IT guy, and he requested that we fire some people to recude his workload."
@@ChiliCheeseNuggies I can confirm this does happen. It's easier to lay people off than fix problems.
I may or may not have heard that when I worked in IT-support
@@MagiRemmie
People after all are some of the highest expenses in a company.
The whole thing at 10:42 is great.
Matt comes up with a solution, to get yellow cables to a yellow desk, but he rejects it because it goes through a dark patch. So he rips it up and goes around the dark patch, and through a second one. Then, he thinks better of it and rips up that yellow cable *and* the neighboring green cable, rerouts the green cable, then puts the yellow cable exactly where he had it the first time. Then, the moment he's happy with it and starts to look away, a yellow station shows up on the dark patch, cutting off the cable that was going to the desk he spent all that time wiring up.
Luckily for Matt, the desk that popped up in the dark patch was the same color as the wire it interrupted, but like... dang. You couldn't write this stuff.
You literally just did
@@feha92 "You can't write this stuff" is a turn of phrase, essentially meaning that it couldn't have been scripted. Usually, it means that something is so bizarre, ironic, and/stupid that it's outside the realm of human imagination, but it can also refer to things that are simply very unlikely.
So, I didn't "write it" because it's a thing that happened independently of me: I just wrote *about* it.
@@gaysarahk I know. But you *did* write it.
ps: rather than merely a nonsensical turn of phrase, since it seems you aren't aware (considering your attempt at explanation), "you can't write this" actually refers to writing as in a fictional story or movie script. As in (and this is another way it's often worded), 'you can't come up with this', since to write such fiction you would need to come up with it yourself.
It does not actually refer to chronicling events as something impossible to do.
@@feha92 That's... what I was trying say. I'm sorry that wasn't clear.
Takes a special kinda person to argue semantics and then completely agree with the person they're arguing with by giving the exact same explanation they were just given, by the person they're arguing against, in a different wording, while still trying to prove the person wrong. What were you even trying to accomplish by making yourself look like a douche?@@feha92
17:18 "You've got cables right there, just plug into an ethernet port. What are you doing?" As a former IT tech, it really do be like that sometimes lmfao
Matt: Fires people creating vacant desks.
Matt: Is shocked when new people are hired to fill those vacant desks.
This office really needs to learn what VLANs are.
This is RCE, not RIT
Also WAP's. Individual routers for each area hurts to see XD
What does pie have to do with it?
I was coming here to say just this...
They also need to learn to run their cables through the fake ceiling. That way water coolers, flower plants and all that other rubbish doesn't get in the way
"If I remove a project, everything I've connected will be messed up!"
Me: **Stares vacantly at the Pause button in the corner.**
which looks to cost £1000
@@cailco100 He had more than 10,000 at the time.
Does the pause button have a time limit? Like it only pauses for 30 seconds, if not then the game might become too easy.
@@conorstewart2214 There's no time limit, but you buy only a single use each time. Very useful for exactly the situation here - when you need time to plan ahead, or just make a lot of changes all at once.
@@conorstewart2214 Sorry, TH-cam's been censoring my comments at random lately, so I'll repeat: There's no time limit, but you buy only a single use each time. Very balanced.
he can't just say "around the outside, Eminem style" without giving us the Guess who's Matt rap song about cable management
Man, this looks a lot like mini motorways for people on a different spectrum. I LOVE it
"there's a game about quid" has me keeled over laughing.
Lol me too
"If you do bad cable management, you're not going to hell. You're going to cable management hell! You'll be doing cable management for eternity!"
You're going to the hell where you must fix something in a mess of cable management. Every single time you do it it gets exponentially harder
Worse, you do troubleshooting on messy bays for eternity, good luck finding the right port ;)
@@ignoreme-ck2iw
The devil hands you some traditional headphones he had in his pocket for a while, except the cables are 10m long and there's 4 pairs of buds in there.
Been T😊here IRL
pay £75 to move someone's desk? this is how you move someone's desk:
BILL
Uh, I'm going to have to ask you to move your desk. Now, if you could
get it to go as far back against that wall as possible, that would be
great.
MILTON
No, no, because I was, I was -
BILL
That way, we'll have some room for more boxes and things we need to put
in here.
MILTON
No...sir...
BILL
Uh (sees the Swingline) Oh there it is.
MILTON
No. No.
BILL
Let me just get that from ya. (picks it up) Great. So if you could get
to that as soon as possible, that would be terrific. Have a nice lunch,
Milton. Bye.
He walks off.
MILTON
Ok. I'll set the building on fire.

Office space :D
this is the moment where Real Civil Engineer became Real Network Engineer
As a principal network engineer doing this stuff like this for 10 years now it's nice to see a game like this. I would like to see an idea where you can learn how things like MPBGP, OSPF, VXLAN, STP, MPLS and the like through gaming. :D
18:05 "Who keeps hiring people on this company?" just sent me!
I wasn't ready for Matt the techpriest who fight for the machine spirit
Interesting to see a game using the mechanics of mini metro/mini motorways. I figured the next game I saw like those would be like mini airlines or something with the same dev and revolving around connecting airlines. Would like to see the mini devs make more, airlines, boats, buses, there are a lot of different similar but different games they could make.
Matt: * freaking out about how to get cables over to new areas *
Also Matt: * forgets about cable ducts, then immediately considers the intended game mechanics cheating when he remembers they exist *
The introduction of VLANs would probably trivialize the game. But everything would be so much easier. All the colors could run over the same cables.
Nothing I love more then anxiety inducing games.
network engineer: "JUST USE VLAN!" XD
And this is why we trunk and VLAN!
As an IT guy this game gives me anxiety.
There are a lot of things in this game that clearly take inspiration from Mini Metro and Mini Motorways. I love it.
A Real Network Engineer would employ vlan segmentation with trunking to manage this madness
I love me some organized cables in a server rack 💓
Matts editors put up with a lot lol
1:56 to skip sponsor
I'm weirdly annoyed by how unrealistic this game is 😆.
Even if you wanted physical separation between the networks of the different projects because of extreme security, mixing the workplaces like that would immediately undo the security benefits. Not to mention the fact that you can easily fit multiple cables in the same duct, the floor is a ridiculous place for a wifi AP and a real office won't redo all the cabling for each new hire 🤣
12:40 "I don't want to stint the growth of anyone"... so anyway I started firing.
I love how he never pauses to collect himself
costs $1000 to pause
@@DeathsShdw ahh makes sense
@@DeathsShdw Its not like he was spending his money anyways haha
No way was I actually painting my warhammer minis when he said the sponsor
14:23 Interesting how there was a four way intersection instead of a rotary traffic island here...
Glad Matt has joined the cable installer fam.
I can't beleave how many times he insulted his editor 0:18
As an electrician, I can confirm this is what the inside of your walls look like.
This company's annual employee record will be mental lmao
When you're fired for being in an inconvenient area, and then someone keeps hiring you, think off how upsetting it would be to be trying over every single cable and you still don't have Internet...
Matt laid all that cabling down, chilling with 12 bands in his pocket and didn't think about using ducting until the end?
That's the real corporate way to do it. xD
This is the kind of work I used to do. Working nights refilling shelves is much lower stress.
2:21 I love the pettiness of the editors on how to say router instead of router.
Why did I read router and router with a different pronunciation
Well thanks Matt on guilt tripping me to clean up my desk area and do some proper cable management
This game is like mini motor ways but with wires.
9:56 Funny, "redd up" means "clean up" in Pennsylvania, even though adding more red in this case makes things messier haha
The hardest part of this game is figuring out what colour they require and who is connected right now.
Thinking about all the packet collisions having all those guys on one or two cables. Good old coaxial network cabling.
I haven't finished the video yet, but I'm surprised you haven't used the "Pause" thing with how much money you had! As always, keep the videos coming. PS, I could not stop laughing with all the subtle bits you put in this video "round the outside".
It bothers me an unreasonable amount that the routers go not only on the floor but right in the walking areas
This has a Mini Motorways feel to it. I wonder if it was made by the same developer.
2:21
England seems pretty lame. Lol
I’m so glad that Matt made the Eminem reference because it was the first thing I thought of when he said “around the outside”
Probably earliest I've ever caught a YT video IIRC
When he said "Round the outside" and my brain went "round the outside, round the outside" and then he said it.
The first video that I’ve seen where Matt is really panicking 😂
Bro said get back to work XD
i'm pretty sure the sponsor will pay you double for that enthusiastic sales pitch
Dude this is the 3th game I buy since you demonstrated it haha
Someone should teach this company about VLANs.
This cable guy game could be the new mini metro
Hearing RCE mention Warhammer was an auditory flashbang
Wow... you went VERY hard with the advertisement this video... Bravo
The stress involved is just too much for me hahahah
This is like mini motorway😊
This is anxiety inducing.
Real life networking is nothing like this.
They made my job into game. Fascinating. By the way, you put that AP wrong :D
As a former IT tech, cable systems installer/maintainer, and field technician this game infuriates me
once he said "round the outside" I was thinking Eminem: "around the outside, round the outside" before he said it and then he said it and im like... "nice matt, just nice!"
Matt really laid it to his editors today
Easily one of my favorite games I've found through this channel, and they finally dropped the full release!
Nobody look at my cable management >.
I was skeptical why I'd play this since it feels alot like mini motorways, but the finish is pretty satisfying
The spaghetti must flow
As someone who has had to do cable installs, you hurt my soul right now.
For some reason, I was expecting a Tube train to trundle through
This reminds me of printer ink, you a new one and another one runs out, replace that and another runs out . . .
I got confused and stranded on the third room then i just mindlessly stared at my screen
HR must be the biggest department. Every week there are massive layoffs and hirings
Matt: *starts a mechanicous spheal*
oh he is a warhammer fan?
Matt: "warhammer 40 thousand" "glorious game workshop excellence"
ah no ok, just a sponsor
The very Suttle around the outside emenem comment. Very nice xD
I'm really feeling my factorio belt trauma right now.
Real civil engineer, challange: Speedrun both series of rovercraft under 2 hours and 30 minutes ;)
Some laptops don’t have that anymore 17:23
g'day mate its 3:18 am but just remenber to sing this in a tune.
"I've found a way to connect to the Internet.... Im sorry, boy."
You got this bro. I believe in you
I love how excited RCE got when he saw £
Peer pressure here! Play Frost Punk! You going to let the architects win?! The engineers need your help in New Autumn!
NRB playing Clickport and RCE playing The Cable Guy on the same day, is it national network engineer day?
This game kind of reminded me of "Good job" and now i want you to try that one 😅
Same
This is making me want mini motorways back 😔
I'd like a no timer version of this.
Just "figure out problem don't run out of budget".
I used to work in tech support at a highschool for a few years. Cable tidying is literally just for people who use the machine. Us who have to actually look after it, and replace peripherals on a daily basis absolutely hate it.
#embracethechaos
As someone who works as a network engineer it'd be great if i could just fire people whenever i got stressed
"It was chaos." Yeah, welcome to IT. It's always chaos here.
“nO wAY THeRes A GaMe aBouT QuiD” is the most BRITISH thing I’ve ever heard 😂
Root = Rooter (Plumbing tool)
Route = Router (internet tool)
"there's a game abour quid"
- RealCivilEngineer 2024
As a colourblind person this game is an absolute nightmare
What is a Rooter?
Its an english router. But not a woodworking router, thats still a router.
Saying "rooter" is probably more accurate, its a french word and all...road is rue pronounced "roo"
Reminds me of mini motorways!
I think Matt missed the part where you can click on the colors to find an empty seat
