HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody! Sorry about the lack of activity, I've been busy dealing with depression lately, but I have plenty of plans for this, January of 2017 - including a marathon of streaming to celebrate hitting 1k subs, as well as finally uploading my 50 hour Spongebob Kelpy G song loop. ABOUT THIS VID: So, we end up in a situation where we have 5 people on our team, and NOBODY on blue. Shenanigan planning ensues as we realize that if anyone joined the game on Blue, we could be evil... *devilish laugh*

![is VALVe Honest About When VAC is In Effect? THE EXPERIMENT CONTINUES
[LONG READ, BUT USEFUL IMO, ABOUT THE EXPERIMENT]
Ive been very suspicious about whether VALVe is being completely truthful about when VAC is in effect, based off of a recent VAC ban, and the word that supposedly even messing around in itemtest isnt safe. To see if this is true or not, I have rigged up an experiment that will test 2 hypotheses.
Question 1:
Does Valve Anticheat (VAC) ban merely for having the process opened, and not for having the process open AND hooked into the hl2.exe process?
Question 2:
Does Valve Anticheat (VAC) ban merely for using cheats in itemtest, which has no VAC-secure indicator, and is meant to be singleplayer in nature?
Hypothesis 1: Yes, VAC Will ban merely for having the process open, irrespective of if it is hooked into the games hl2.exe process or not.
Hypothesis 2: Yes, VAC Will ban merely for using cheats in itemtest, which has no VAC-secure indicator, and is meant to be singleplayer in nature.
How am I to test this:
Create 3 steam accounts: vacctest0, vactest1, and vactest2.
vactest0: control account - play normally, then demonstrate getting a VAC ban for using cheat engine in game (hooked into the hl2.exe process.
vactest1, vactest2: Test to see if merely having it open, but not hooked into the hl2.exe process, will trigger a ban, and then see if having it hooked into the process while in itemtest will trigger a ban or not.
First, run vactest0, play a little bit, then hook CE into hl2.exe, track length of time before VAC ban for using CE in game.
Finally, use vactest1, vactest2 (sequentially), have Cheat Engine running, but not hooked into the hl2.exe process, then go from playing in a multiplayer game, to playing in itemtest, hooking CE into the process.
The results of using vactest1, vactest2 like this will answer the initial question, prove or disprove the hypothesis. is VALVe Honest About When VAC is In Effect? THE EXPERIMENT CONTINUES](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pVmt-Dnev78/mqdefault.jpg)
