00:00From kind of funny to monopoly money, nerds are passionate about a lot of things.
00:03But there's one thing they love above all else, and that is correcting people.
00:07This is I'm Actual.
00:21Join us on today's episode is Blessing Adeoye Jr.
00:24Yo, what's up?
00:25Alana Pierce.
00:26Hi.
00:26And Andy Cortez.
00:27Hello.
00:28And joining us as always in the fact checker room, we have Brian David Gilbert.
00:31Hi.
00:32And how's that jumpsuit treating you?
00:33I feel like a grunt from like a low level of a video game.
00:37Like this is the base level grunt, and then later on you're going to find like an orange jumpsuit,
00:43maybe a green jumpsuit, which is harder.
00:45They have bigger weapons.
00:46You have more armor.
00:47Don't say that about yourself.
00:48I think you're the final boss jumpsuit.
00:50Thank you.
00:51That's honestly the nicest thing anyone has said about the jumpsuits on the couch this entire time.
00:55I was noticing a big lack of nice things being said towards you.
00:58Maybe someday I'll get the gold jumpsuit, but that's for only legendary drops.
01:02Yeah, you don't drop legendary.
01:03You get the mother battle faster.
01:04All right.
01:05So this is everyone's first time on the show.
01:07We'll go through the rules, and we'll just jump right into it.
01:10I have here in front of me a stack of statements.
01:12These are incorrect statements about video game properties that you know and love,
01:16and it is up to you to figure out what is incorrect, buzz in, and correct me.
01:20You must start all your corrections off with I'm actually, or I can't give you the point, as a matter
01:24of fact.
01:25Someone else can buzz in, say I'm actually, and steal that correction from you.
01:28You're free to interrupt me at any time, and that's about it.
01:32So we're feeling ready?
01:33Feeling good.
01:34I think so.
01:34I guess.
01:34All right.
01:35Let's start with our first statement.
01:38In the Monster Hunter universe, players are supported by palicos, a race of cat-like bipedal creatures
01:44that run shops, cook elaborate meals, and sometimes accompany hunters into the field.
01:49Blessing.
01:50Um, actually, palicos aren't cat-like.
01:54That is correct, but I want you to elaborate further.
01:56What do you mean by that?
01:58Because they are dog-like.
02:00You found out what is incorrect, but that is not the correction.
02:04We were looking for, so then we will open it up to Alana and Andy.
02:08Palicos aren't cat-like?
02:09They look like cats, if we can be real.
02:11Okay.
02:12I'm stressed, man, you know, and I just, I feel like as the woman on this couch, I'm supposed
02:16to know a lot about cats, and I'm, I don't, I don't, I don't.
02:19Don't put your dog pigeon help or something like that.
02:21Here's the thing, if you want to work together, because, are there not dog-like little pets
02:25that you have in Monster Hunter Rise?
02:26Yes, they are in Monster Hunter Rise.
02:28But you already said dog-like.
02:29What is wrong about them being cat-like?
02:31It doesn't make sense.
02:32Okay, then we'll just give that one a blessing, and you're about to learn exactly how this
02:38game works.
02:39The correction we were looking for is Palico is their job title when they go on hunts with
02:43the player.
02:44The creatures themselves are felines.
02:46Oh.
02:47Shut up.
02:49Get out.
02:49No way.
02:50Yeah, the felines of Palicos, that's why you were able to get the dog and the cat, but
02:55the cats were felines and the dogs were...
02:57Canines with a Y.
02:59Wait, is it felines with a Y?
03:00Yeah, felines with a Y.
03:01So the dogs are also Palicos.
03:03Yes.
03:04They're all Palicos.
03:04So they're called Palamutes.
03:06Oh, shut the fuck up.
03:07That's crazy.
03:08Yeah, yeah.
03:09Wow.
03:09Because they're pals.
03:11Yeah.
03:12Come on.
03:13Damn.
03:13Come on.
03:13That's their job.
03:14That's crazy.
03:16That point goes to blessing.
03:18I'll take it.
03:19I feel like I just stole that one, but I'll take it.
03:21This is where we're starting?
03:22This is hell.
03:23All right.
03:23Let's move on to our next statement.
03:27Dredge features a number of mutated fish variants called aberrations.
03:30They include monsters like the eyeball-covered glaring sunfish, a ball of several entwined
03:36anchovies called the anchovy king, the vampire squid whose tentacles are covered in fang-like
03:42spines, and the two-headed no-tailed twin eels.
03:45Andy.
03:46Um, actually, there is no monster in the game Dredge called the anchovy king.
03:50There is an anchovy king in the game Dredge.
03:53I don't believe so.
03:55Blessing.
03:56Um, actually, the no-tailed twin eels aren't two-headed.
04:00They are two-headed.
04:02Yeah.
04:03Um, actually, they're not monsters.
04:05What if you, the human, were the monster all along?
04:08Oh, wow.
04:09I mean, they're definitely monsters based on some of the footage I've seen, but humans are also the monster.
04:15Andy.
04:15Um, actually, it's a vampire octopus, not a squid.
04:21Uh, it is a vampire squid.
04:22Um, actually, it's vampire daddy.
04:26The tentacles are not covered in fang-like spines.
04:31They're covered in things I might not be allowed to say on this show.
04:34They are covered in the fangs, I would say.
04:39And, yeah.
04:40And whether you choose to call it a vampire daddy, that's, you know, up to you.
04:44Probably shouldn't have said that publicly.
04:45It's my turn.
04:46Blessing.
04:46Um, actually, the mutated variants aren't all fish variants, because squid technically aren't fish?
04:54The concept of fish linguistically can refer to so many different things, and that's why you can't, like, fish as
05:01a biological...
05:02We'd have to talk a lot about this in order to get...
05:05I have time.
05:06Our flight's at, like, eight or something.
05:07Yeah, okay.
05:08I'll just say that that's not the thing that's wrong with this statement.
05:11Damn.
05:11Wow.
05:11We will call it there.
05:12Y'all were dancing around it, but the correction we were looking for was that the vampire squid is a
05:18real deep-sea fish that doesn't appear in the game.
05:21So photos of the vampire squid are unique and rare because they are deep-sea creatures that aren't often photographed.
05:27In 2014, the world's first-ever vampire squid went on display at the Monterey Bay Aquarium thanks to the efforts
05:33of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute's Marine Operations Team.
05:38Let's see this sucker.
05:38So, yeah, yeah, that's...
05:40So, this is one of the only photos, and it comes from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, but if
05:45you were to look underneath that, there are spines on there.
05:48It is a very frightening-looking fish.
05:50Well, again, cephalopod.
05:51And are there photos of the other side, and where can I find them, and are they in 4K?
05:54Yeah, you're going to have to look those up on your own.
05:56We couldn't license those ones, but I'm sure if you're at home right now, you're already Googling that, and I
06:02wish you the best of luck.
06:03There is no world where I'm calling that a fish.
06:05No, that's not a fish.
06:06I like his little ears, though.
06:08What a cool guy.
06:09Those ears do make it cute.
06:10And he looks like an umbrella.
06:11What are they ears? What are you talking about? What ears?
06:12He's got, like, little flaps on the top.
06:13Are those not, like, fins?
06:14I don't think you can just say those are ears.
06:16Yeah, that's a big assumption.
06:17I decided that they are.
06:18I think you're just looking at it like, oh, those are probably ears.
06:21How else would he hear?
06:23All right, so that's no points for that statement, but we're going to move on to our next one.
06:28In the horror game Alan Wake 2, the writer Alan Wake is trapped in his own stories.
06:33He enlists the help of a heavy metal band called the Old Gods of Athens,
06:37who perform a song to help him escape.
06:40Also, they might actually be the gods they are saying they are.
06:43Um, actually, the band is called the Old Gods of Asgard.
06:47That is correct.
06:49Wow.
06:49Founded by the brothers Thor and Odin Anderson,
06:52who it's actually implied they may actually be the Norse gods Thor and Odin.
06:56So, actually, the Old Gods of Asgard have an actual real-world counterpart in Poets of the Fall,
07:01a Finnish rock band from Helsinki who perform the songs in the video games
07:06and have created a YouTube channel that's, like, dedicated to the fictional band,
07:10who they describe as their alter ego band,
07:13who lives in rocks in the universe of Remedy Entertainment's video games Alan Wake 1 and 2 and Control,
07:19which is a quote written by Legal, if I've ever read one myself.
07:23They even put out a Greatest Hits album containing all of the songs from the games,
07:28plus a brand new track only available on the album.
07:31Dude, unbelievably cool.
07:33The segment in Alan Wake 2 where you have to, like, use the song to get your way out its
07:39old time.
07:39It's the dance sequences.
07:41It's unbelievably cool.
07:42Remedy is so good at making set pieces with music.
07:46Between that and, like, the...
07:47Oh, the controlled Ashtray Maze.
07:48The controls, what's it called?
07:49Yeah, the Ashtray Maze.
07:50Oh, my God, so good.
07:52That world is so cool.
07:53Shout out to the janitor.
07:54Yeah.
07:55He's one of my favorite video game characters of all time.
07:57I love him.
07:57I haven't played any of the Alan Wake games yet,
08:00because the only descriptor's like,
08:02no, this game is scary as fuck.
08:05Part 2 is awful.
08:07Yeah, exactly.
08:08It's great, but it's awful.
08:09Yeah, so you didn't say fun once.
08:12It probably is fun.
08:13Oh, I wanted it to end every second.
08:15Yeah, exactly.
08:16Is he awful wanting it to end every second?
08:18I'm not built for that.
08:20The latter half of the game, the old lady jump scares?
08:23No.
08:23Oh, my God.
08:23I think I was, like, physically in pain at a certain point.
08:26Once again, another...
08:27It's really good, though.
08:30Great game!
08:30It's so funny, because, like, we were saying all this freaky stuff about the game, right?
08:33But, like, they're also the only developer to where if their next game doesn't have some kind of, like,
08:37dance break or musical break, I'm going to be disappointed.
08:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:40Absolutely.
08:40So that point goes to Andy, and it is time for our next statement, which is a fan-submitted statement
08:46from Scary Mask.
08:48Metro City might be the most popular name for a fictional city in video games.
08:53It's maybe best known as the setting for the beat-em-up classic Final Fight,
08:57but other game series like Double Dragon, Condemned, Street Fighter, and Nightshade
09:02have featured their own completely unrelated Metro Cities.
09:06Alana?
09:06Um, actually, I don't think the city in Condemned is named Metro City.
09:10It is named Metro City.
09:12Blessing.
09:13Um, actually, the Metro City in Street Fighter is related to the classic Final Fight.
09:18That is correct.
09:20Damn it.
09:20That is a point for Blessing.
09:22Since Street Fighter and Final Fight take place in the same universe, they feature the same Metro City.
09:27I feel really good about that one, guys.
09:29I actually knew that.
09:30Yeah.
09:31You love fighting games, right?
09:31I love fighting games.
09:32Yeah.
09:33You would have let the people down if you didn't know.
09:34Well, this brings us to our first shiny question of the game.
09:37Shiny questions, just like shiny Pokemon, are worth the same, but they're just a little bit different and a little
09:42rarer.
09:43This one is called Best Coast or Rest Coast.
09:50America is made up of the East Coast, the West Coast, and everything in between.
09:54Using your paddles, tell me, do these video games take place on the East Coast, the West Coast, or literally
10:00anywhere else in the country?
10:01Whoever guesses the most correctly wins the point.
10:04Okay, let's start with your first game.
10:07Grand Theft Auto 4.
10:12That is a point for everyone.
10:14Yes, that takes place in Liberty City, which is basically New York.
10:19All right, your next game.
10:22Alan Wake.
10:23We were just talking about it.
10:25Oh.
10:26I think it's Pacific Northwest.
10:28Yes, that is going to be Alana.
10:30You're correct.
10:31It's West Coast.
10:32You are right.
10:32It is Bright Falls, Washington.
10:35I should have known.
10:35All those trees.
10:36No, there was just this era of video games that was like The Lost of Us and that motorbike, Days
10:40Gone, and Alan Wake, Daily Premonition.
10:43They're all set there in that one period of time.
10:45Everyone was just really honest.
10:46Super Bomberman as well.
10:47Dude, I lived in Seattle.
10:48I should have known this.
10:49Yeah, yeah.
10:50All right, let's look at your next game, Watch Dogs.
10:58Okay, Blessing, and Andy is correct.
11:00It is elsewhere.
11:01It is in Chicago.
11:02Oh, I was thinking of San Francisco.
11:04Part two.
11:06Yeah, part two.
11:06Okay, your next game.
11:09Silent Hill.
11:12Silent Hill.
11:16No one got that correctly.
11:18That is East Coast.
11:19It takes place in Maine.
11:20Oh, that makes sense.
11:21Of course it does.
11:22That gives Maine vibes.
11:23Stephen King.
11:24For sure.
11:26Resident Evil 2 is your next game.
11:29That's got, excuse me?
11:30Yeah, what?
11:31Maybe?
11:33Andy, you get the point.
11:34It's elsewhere, because Raccoon City is somewhere in the Midwest.
11:38Wow.
11:38Somewhere in the Midwest.
11:39I thought it was kind of New York-y.
11:40I was just going to say, Raccoon City is not a real place, so it's probably...
11:44Yeah, I mean...
11:44It's not just Silent Hill, Andy.
11:46Oh, shit.
11:47Yeah.
11:47Yeah, I think when you all said elsewhere for Silent Hill, you were thinking of, like,
11:50in a weird dream state.
11:52Which, not fair.
11:53Inside of his brain.
11:55Yeah.
11:55All right, Cyberpunk 2077.
11:59Cyberpunk 2077.
12:01Alana and Andy get that one.
12:03It is the West Coast.
12:04Damn, West Coast?
12:04Is it really?
12:05Are you serious?
12:05It's LA, man.
12:06You're right, it is LA.
12:08You did it so fast that maybe I thought we were wrong.
12:12You know what?
12:12It's the end.
12:13Night City made me think New York.
12:15Mm.
12:15You know, I just have...
12:16All the letters, of course.
12:17Yeah.
12:17Yeah, all the letters.
12:18And I just got major city vibes, which I guess LA is a major city, but...
12:22Yeah, and the intro, the guy's talking, and he's, like, all the way down of Sacramento.
12:26I don't know.
12:27You're going to be my character in the desert.
12:29Yeah, you've got a desert.
12:30Yeah.
12:30Your next game is Alone in the Dark.
12:33Alone in the Dark.
12:37Blessing is correct.
12:38It takes place in Louisiana.
12:40I'm thinking of a different game.
12:42The one in the park.
12:43It's in Central Park.
12:44Spider-Man.
12:45No, but it's like...
12:47It's an Alone in the Dark-like, but it's in Central Park.
12:51Am I inventing a video game?
12:52There is a Central Park in N Alone in the Dark, but we were talking about the original game,
12:58which was Louisiana.
12:59Yep, fair enough.
13:00Let's move on to our next video game.
13:02Life is Strange.
13:04Life is Strange 1 for clarity.
13:08All right.
13:09Everyone's correct.
13:10That is West Coast, Arcadia Bay, Oregon.
13:13Pacific Northwest.
13:13Yep.
13:14Same here, dude.
13:15I was about to say, it seems like such a Pacific Northwest game.
13:18Trees.
13:18Yeah, Assassin's Creed 3.
13:22Assassin's Creed 3.
13:24Oh, man, this is going to be one of those.
13:26Oh, Andy, you got to know.
13:26You have to know.
13:27You got to know.
13:28It was, in fact, the East Coast, Boston, and New York.
13:31Oh.
13:32There you go.
13:32That's not the Italy one.
13:33No.
13:34Damn.
13:36It's right there.
13:37Oh, I didn't.
13:38It's on the thing.
13:39Anytime I play one of those Assassin's Creed games, they take me back into the future,
13:43and I'm like, I don't give a shit about this.
13:45But that's also in New York.
13:46But, like, just stop all of it, you know?
13:47Just get rid of all of the future stuff.
13:50I have, like, a 30-minute long YouTube video that I wrote that's in defense of the animus
13:54in Assassin's Creed.
13:55It should have been eight minutes long, but I'm sorry.
13:57The Desmond stuff, when that first trilogy came out, was very good sci-fi.
14:02Like, extremely cool, and then they kind of messed it up with Assassin's Creed 3, so I
14:06have, like, a personal vendetta against this game, because they were like, ah, don't worry
14:09about that.
14:09Well, you know, in defense of your in-defensive, that was the coolest part of Assassin's Creed
14:14to me.
14:15Like, I was like, oh, this amplified this game to me because there's this whole sci-fi aspect.
14:21The first three games, the whole thing was that you were playing as one of the Assassins
14:25to get the Pieces of Eden, to find them in the modern day, and while you were doing it,
14:28the idea was you were having this bleeding effect, so, like, everything that Ezio learned
14:31to do, Desmond would learn to do in the real world, so they were setting it up so Game 3
14:34would be like this modern-day era, you have the Pieces of Eden, and you were doing cool
14:39Assassin stuff in the modern-day world, and it was awesome!
14:43One of the things I do love about the, like, weird future-backed stuff is, like, they love
14:47to do just enough historical accuracy, so that way they can put in things like, and also,
14:53there's an Apple of Eden, and we, and everyone needs it, and it caused a whole generation
14:57of kids to be like, what, is the Apple of Eden real?
15:01Is that a real thing?
15:02And it's like, no, some of the other stuff was real about the game, but not most of it.
15:05The Polar has magic powers?
15:07Yeah, it does, yeah!
15:09Blessing, and you got five correct.
15:11Lana, you got five correct.
15:13And Andy, you got five correct.
15:15So that is a point for everyone.
15:17Damn!
15:18Wow, good job.
15:18So let's move on to our next statement.
15:22In 2008, Nintendo won two Emmys, one for the Wiimote and one for the DS Dual Touchscreen.
15:28The previous year, they won their first Emmy for the DS Lite stylus.
15:33Alana.
15:33Um, Ashley, that's ridiculous.
15:35You can't win an Emmy for a stylus.
15:37You're close enough in that statement.
15:39Like, you can be more specific, but saying that it is ridiculous is not the correct answer,
15:45but it was about the stylus.
15:47I did say, that's ridiculous.
15:49You can't win an Emmy for a stylus.
15:51I'm sure someone has won an Emmy for a stylus.
15:53Let me, I will look that up, though.
15:54There's a technology and engineering Emmy.
15:57So there's like the Emmys we typically know, and then there's the other ones.
16:00Um, actually, they did not win for a DS Lite stylus.
16:03Uh, that is correct.
16:04They didn't win it for the DS Lite stylus.
16:07They won it for the NES D-Pad, which came out roughly 25 years earlier.
16:13It was literally in 2007 that they won the award for its invention of the plus-shaped D-Pad,
16:19which by that point in time was very, very old.
16:22But, you know, hey, I'm glad that they got their flowers whenever they got it.
16:25That's great for them.
16:26I'm just gonna, um, actually, your decision to have Andy give that point.
16:29I just phrased it in a jokey way because it's a comedy show,
16:32but my answer was still the stylus is wrong.
16:34Um, actually, that's my point.
16:36I think your line of thinking was, um, actually, it should have been a game award or something.
16:41No, it wasn't.
16:42It was that dumb.
16:43Because you said it was ridiculous that they would win, not they didn't do it.
16:46It's a comedy show!
16:48And you said, well, it's not a fact.
16:49I just put some flowers on the phrase.
16:52Um, actually, Alana, you phrased your thing wrong, you know?
16:55You should have phrased it better.
16:56Yeah, yeah.
16:57You gotta take the show seriously.
16:58Yeah.
16:59The rules were reasoned.
16:59I gotta lock in.
17:00So that is a point for Andy.
17:02Aw, that's so stupid.
17:03Yes.
17:04Ridiculous.
17:05Time for our next statement.
17:09War never changes.
17:10These lines open every Fallout title, including Fallout 76.
17:14Bethesda's MMO gets around any canonical or spoiler issues by setting all of its events in 2102, 59 years before
17:22the first game.
17:23Player characters all originate from Vault 76 and enter the wasteland as part of Reclamation Day.
17:30Blessing.
17:31War never changes.
17:33Those words don't open every Fallout title.
17:35It does.
17:36That's their whole thing.
17:38Alana.
17:38Um, actually, it's not 59 years before the first game.
17:41That is correct.
17:41But can you be more specific as to why?
17:44Um, I don't think that they're that far apart.
17:48They are that far apart, but you did find out what's incorrect.
17:52We'll give Andy and Blessing a chance to try and see if they know why.
17:56It is not set 59 years before the first game because it's set 59 years after the first game.
18:05That is incorrect.
18:06Andy.
18:07Um, actually, it's 58 years before the first game.
18:11Okay, sorry.
18:11Can I try again?
18:11You're going to get the point, but you can try again if you want.
18:14Is it phrasing?
18:15It's 59 years before the first game rather than 59 years before the events of the first game?
18:18No, no.
18:19So while Fallout 76 initially took place in 2102, each update actually progressed the setting by one year.
18:26So the game currently takes place in 2105.
18:29Wow.
18:30Oh, that's really cool.
18:31I think that's a fun way to do it, but also, I don't know anyone who plays the MMO stuff.
18:35That's the tough thing about it.
18:36It's gotten pretty good.
18:36I feel like they need to do, like, a big expansion.
18:39They need to do something more exciting because the last update I saw the trailer for was a big update
18:44about fishing.
18:45And I'm like, that's not the thing.
18:47Yeah, yeah, that's not going to bring people back.
18:49Speak for yourself.
18:49Okay.
18:50Listen, I'm not hating on fishing.
18:52I'm just like, this is Fallout.
18:53You know what I mean?
18:53Like, give me Super Mutants.
18:55Let me play as a Super Mutant.
18:56We've come a long way when the thing that people were most excited about was the update where they added
19:00voiced characters.
19:01Oh, my gosh.
19:02Don't get me started.
19:02They're like, whoa, they have voices.
19:03Big day.
19:04Oh, yeah.
19:04The dating profiles for dudes are going to be huge in that game with all the fishing going on there.
19:09Oh, yeah.
19:10A lot of great profiles.
19:11Wait till they added Jim.
19:13I thought myself was going to go crazy.
19:15That is a point for Alana.
19:16The scores now are Alana with two.
19:18Blessing and Andy tied with three.
19:21And one of them he doesn't deserve.
19:22Yes.
19:23It is anyone's game.
19:25It is time for our next statement.
19:28Fortnite uses the color rarity system first seen in Diablo with items falling into the ranking.
19:34White for common, green for uncommon, blue for rare, purple for epic, orange for legendary, and gold for mythic.
19:40Plus, sky blue for exotic items and red for the transcendent rarity.
19:45Alana.
19:46Um, actually, I feel like blue is not rare.
19:49Blue is rare.
19:50Damn.
19:50Um, actually, that rarity system was not first seen in Diablo.
19:54That is correct.
19:56Although this common color rarity system is based on games like Diablo, its appearance in Diablo is based on the
20:031993 roguelike Engband.
20:06Wait, what?
20:07What's it called?
20:08Yes.
20:08Engband?
20:09It's a text-based one.
20:10And it's the first time that, like, basically, it wasn't even, like, multiple rarities, but sometimes the thing would come
20:16up as blue to show that, like, the blue text meant, oh, it's extra rare, and this is a good
20:21one.
20:22Uh, and it's truly, you have to, like, find this in a very specific, Ben Hansen does an interview with
20:28David Brevik, who is the developer of Diablo, and he was like, oh, you made the color rarity system.
20:33And he's like, technically not.
20:34I took that from Engband.
20:36You guys haven't played Engband?
20:37Cool.
20:38Come on.
20:39The devs of Engband were like, that was actually a bug.
20:41We didn't program that.
20:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:43The colors were supposed to pop up.
20:44Yeah, yeah.
20:44You have to just, like, type it in your computer, like, oh, tell me the color.
20:46I hope it's purple.
20:48That's wild.
20:49So that is a point for blessing, and this brings us to our next shiny question, which is called Weapon
20:56of Choice.
21:02Video games, home of the weirdest weapons you've ever seen.
21:04But do you know which games created these particular tools of destruction?
21:09Buzz in and tell me which title each of these weapons belong to, and whoever gets the most correct wins
21:14the point.
21:15Your first weapon is the Penetrator.
21:20Blessing.
21:21Saints Row, do I have to tell you the specific entry?
21:24You can take a swing at it.
21:26I'm going to say Saints Row 3.
21:28That is correct.
21:29Take a swing at that dildo pad.
21:31Oh, I did.
21:32Yeah, they actually, they sent them out to people who worked in games media at the time, so you got
21:37a replica of the dildo pad.
21:39That can't be ethical.
21:40Was it that size?
21:41Yeah, I think it was a little smaller.
21:43Was it firm, or was it, like, on the left where we see in the picture where, like, it kind
21:46of hangs a little bit?
21:47I don't remember.
21:48Was it floppy?
21:48Don't remember.
21:49Great question, though.
21:50All right, let's move on to our next video game, Teapot Cannon.
21:58Is that Alice, Madness Returns, maybe?
22:01Yes, that's correct.
22:02What the f***?
22:02Dude, game rules.
22:03They also, they tried to make a second one via Kickstarter, because it's American McGee, I think, and legal, like,
22:09basically totally tore it apart, which is such a bummer, because that game was really creative.
22:12It was super fun.
22:13That's a good-ass deep cut right there.
22:15Yeah.
22:15Yeah.
22:15It's a great pull.
22:16All right, how about this rocket launcher?
22:19I know I know this.
22:20I mean...
22:21Alana.
22:22Could it be Sunset Overdrive?
22:24No, the great pull, but that is incorrect.
22:26It doesn't look like it is.
22:28Blessing.
22:29Is it from Fallout?
22:30Which one?
22:31Three.
22:32No.
22:33Three, yes, three.
22:35You little s***.
22:39I'll stick with my hands.
22:40Yeah, yeah.
22:41That is the point.
22:43That's called confidence.
22:44I was going to say, it looked like Fallout, but that would seem too blatant, because we had a question
22:49about it.
22:49It was like, oh, yeah.
22:50Oh, yeah.
22:51We do a lot of this.
22:51What tripped me up for a second is, like, I looked at it for a second longer, and I was
22:54like, are those PS3 graphics or PS4?
22:56Yeah, yeah.
22:57I love that game.
22:58Oh, me too.
22:59That, um...
23:00Except the ending.
23:00New Vegas, too.
23:01Yeah.
23:02Your next weapon is the Keyblade.
23:06Blessing.
23:07Kingdom Hearts.
23:07Shut up.
23:09Didn't even wait for it to pop up.
23:10Peace and day.
23:11Yeah.
23:11Yeah.
23:11All right.
23:12Your next weapon is the Rotten Egg.
23:16Alana.
23:16This is, uh, this can't be right.
23:19Is it Banjo-Tooie?
23:20No, that is incorrect.
23:21Those textures look so Banjo-Tooie-coated.
23:23Well, because you do shoot eggs, and I think some of them are rotten, but I don't think they look
23:26like that.
23:27I'm going to guess World of Warcraft.
23:30Incorrect.
23:31I'm going to say Bully.
23:33Incorrect.
23:33Ooh, good guess.
23:34Thank you.
23:34All right, we'll call it there.
23:36This is from Resident Evil 5.
23:38Oh.
23:39Damn.
23:40Andy, you played that game.
23:41I did, yeah.
23:42It's a great time.
23:42You don't remember throwing eggs?
23:43You don't remember rotten egg?
23:44No, I don't remember having an egg.
23:45Titula item, rotten egg?
23:46It's basically a one-hit kill when you threw it at enemies.
23:49Yeah.
23:49Let's look at your next weapon.
23:52Andy.
23:53Dr. Mario.
23:54That's what I was going to guess.
23:55That is not the game that it's in.
23:57Blessing.
23:57Super Smash Brothers.
23:58That's correct.
23:59Dr. Mario shoots pills at his opponents in the Smash Brothers games.
24:04Yeah, nice, you guys.
24:05Bonus point for me, nice.
24:06Nice, good job.
24:06All right, your next weapon is a Severed Arm.
24:11Dead Rising?
24:12Incorrect.
24:13That's a great guess.
24:14That's a really good guess.
24:15Thank you.
24:15I just keep replaying a quote in my head, and I don't know what movie or thing it's from,
24:19but it's a quote that's like, I'll beat a motherfucker with another motherfucker.
24:23That's all it's talking about.
24:24Sounds cool, whatever it is.
24:25I gotta find out what that is and watch it again.
24:27Yeah, we'll just call that one there.
24:29That's from Vampire the Masquerade Bloodline.
24:31Oh my god, that would be us.
24:33Damn.
24:33Andy, you had none correct.
24:35Alana, you had one.
24:36Blessing had four, so that point goes to Blessing.
24:39So that is two points for Alana, three for Andy, and five for Blessing.
24:43Let's jump into our next statement.
24:46From Software's games feature several recurring elements, like Moonlight Greatsword, but none
24:51as divisive as the Cowardly Trickster Patches.
24:54First appearing in a mech in Armored Core for Answer, he can also be found in human form
25:00in Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring.
25:04Alana.
25:04Um, actually, it's not Armored Core for Answer.
25:07That's not the first game he appears in.
25:08It is Armored Core for Answer.
25:10Damn it.
25:10Um, actually, it's not a mech, it's a pilot.
25:13He appears inside of a pilot?
25:15That's hot.
25:15I like that.
25:16I gotta play Armored Core for Answer.
25:19It's a small pilot within a pilot.
25:21Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:22He appears inside of me.
25:23Damn.
25:23All right.
25:23Um, actually, he doesn't appear in human form in Bloodborne.
25:27That is correct.
25:29Damn.
25:29Which is absolutely nuts that you got that one wrong, because you've been starting the
25:34petition for Bloodborne on PC, and I was for sure thinking, I was like, oh.
25:38It's because he hasn't played it.
25:39He's like, oh, I need it on PC, or then I can play it for the first time.
25:41Because it's not on PC, that's why you got it.
25:43He's a spider.
25:44Damn it.
25:44Yeah.
25:45Yes, patches did not appear in human form in Bloodborne.
25:47Instead, he was a spider with a human head.
25:49It's a good game right there, Bloodborne.
25:51It's a pretty good video game.
25:52People should play it.
25:53Yeah.
25:53I bought a $1,200 factory-sealed PS5 so that I could mod it and play Bloodborne 60 frames per
26:01second.
26:02Wow.
26:02So I've put a lot, I deserve at least a point for shit.
26:06That makes it even more infuriating you didn't get that one correct.
26:09It is really sad.
26:10I understand why the comment section is always mad at me.
26:11You saw that spider head in 60 frames per second.
26:14Yeah.
26:15It was so smooth.
26:16Yeah, yeah.
26:16It was so smooth.
26:17All right.
26:18So that point goes to Blessing.
26:20We're going to move on to our next statement.
26:22You can romance any of your companions in Bulger's Gate 3, but some are trickier to woo than the
26:27others.
26:27Minthara can't even be recruited into the party until Act 2, although you can have sex
26:32with her in Act 1 simply by betraying the tieflings.
26:34You monster.
26:35Um, actually, you cannot have sex with Minthara in Act 1.
26:38You can.
26:38Um, actually, you can never recruit Mintharo.
26:42You just smash and that's it.
26:43No, you can.
26:44You can.
26:44You're just friends with Minthara.
26:46You can.
26:46Um, actually, it's not by betraying the tieflings.
26:48It is by betraying the tieflings.
26:51Blessing.
26:51Um, actually, you can't romance any of your companions.
26:54That is correct.
26:55Do you know which ones you can't romance?
26:58Oh, is it the skeleton dude?
27:00Are you talking about Withers?
27:02Yeah.
27:02Withers?
27:02He's not a companion.
27:04Oh, is he not?
27:04Oh, yeah, I guess he's just there in your camp.
27:06Who can you not romance?
27:08You can't romance companions Jahira and Minsk despite how hot they are.
27:12Damn.
27:12You can't romance Jahira?
27:13No.
27:14I didn't even know that one.
27:14Second playthrough cancels.
27:15Yeah.
27:16So that is another point for Blessing.
27:18And it is time for our final shiny question of the game.
27:22Okay.
27:23No scope speed run.
27:24And we're taking it to the shiny stage.
27:31The first stage in Super Mario Bros. for the NES is one of the most important levels in all video
27:36games.
27:36That's why we believe you should be able to play it blindfolded.
27:39Contestants will have one minute to play the level while blindfolded,
27:42and whoever gets the furthest wins.
27:45Contestants who aren't playing, feel free to help or hinder the player with your guidance.
27:49And the person with the highest score will go first.
27:51So, Blessing, that means you.
27:53Go, Bless!
27:55Blessing, you are allowed to keep going.
27:57Even after you die, you have three lives, as is the norm for Super Mario Bros.
28:01Go for it.
28:05Hit R2, Bless.
28:06R2, okay.
28:07I got it.
28:07R2 and L3 for the Super Jump.
28:09There's a Goomba in here somewhere that I want to make sure I don't hit.
28:12Oh!
28:13I hit the Goomba, didn't I?
28:15That's okay.
28:15That's okay.
28:16Your timer is still going.
28:17You got it?
28:19All right.
28:19If I keep jumping.
28:20Yeah, hit another Goomba.
28:21Oh, Lord.
28:22Okay.
28:22All right.
28:23Here's your third life.
28:24If I can just make it to that first pipe.
28:26You did.
28:27You did.
28:27Oh, did I really?
28:28Yeah, yeah.
28:34Andy?
28:36Oh, first Goomba.
28:37Yeah, yes.
28:38First Goomba.
28:39You're still in it.
28:40Oh, Andy is sneaking on you.
28:42It's right there, right in front of you.
28:43Oh, you jumped over it.
28:44You got it.
28:45Dodge the first.
28:45Well, I won't say where you are now.
28:47Oh, he's a gamer, guys.
28:49Yes, Andy.
28:50Yes, Andy.
28:50All right, okay.
28:52Oh!
28:53All right.
28:54That's okay.
28:54You still got one more life.
28:56Okay.
28:56Yes.
28:56Okay.
28:58Andy, if you hold left, I'm pretty sure there's a warp pipe.
29:03Wow, this is insane.
29:05Wow.
29:06Popping off right now.
29:07Good job.
29:08Was that death?
29:09That was death again.
29:11Like you made it to the first gap.
29:13Yeah, yeah.
29:14Yeah, yeah.
29:14Wow.
29:15That's huge.
29:17Alana.
29:19You run to the left, yes.
29:21Am I running the wrong way?
29:23First Goomba.
29:24You were doing great.
29:25You were doing great.
29:26Thanks so much.
29:28The Goomba gets removed here, so if you just run for it.
29:30Yeah, there it is.
29:31That's totally rough.
29:32That's really rough.
29:33I believe in Alana.
29:34Yeah, here you go.
29:34Thanks so much.
29:35She's still cooked.
29:36Yeah.
29:37She's still cooked.
29:38Oh, I got that first Goomba.
29:39Yep.
29:40Nice.
29:43Oh.
29:44Oh.
29:44Oh, my God.
29:45Oh, you got a jump?
29:45Yeah.
29:46Oh, my gosh.
29:47No, no, no, no, no, no.
29:48No way.
29:48No!
29:49No!
29:51No!
29:51No!
29:52No!
29:52No!
29:52You made it the furthest.
29:54Oh, my God.
29:54Damn it!
29:55You got past the first gap.
29:57Wow.
29:57No, you made it past the jump, and then you jumped into a Goomba.
30:00I want to see the replay.
30:02Yeah.
30:02You can't do that on the CLT.
30:03Well.
30:03Damn it.
30:05So, since you made it the furthest in that game, Alana, that point does, in fact, go to
30:11you, bringing our scores to three points for Andy, three points for Alana, and seven points
30:15for Blessing.
30:16We're going to catch him any minute now.
30:18We'll be fine.
30:18We got to team up.
30:19We'll combine seven, six if we combine.
30:20Yeah, yeah.
30:21Oh, yeah, of course.
30:22And that brings us to our final statement of the game, which, as always, concerns real life
30:28skills.
30:33The monitor you use to play games can be just as important as the game itself, which
30:38is why many swear by CRTs for games like Super Smash Bros. Melee.
30:42If you want to use a CRT, make sure you degauss it regularly, which can only be done manually
30:47by waving a degaussing wand in front of the screen.
30:50Degaussing can fix distorted images on the screen caused by magnetic interference.
30:56It can also be done in the settings.
30:58It doesn't have to be a manual thing.
31:00You did not say, I'm actually...
31:02Shit!
31:02Blessing.
31:03Um, actually.
31:05You can do it in the settings.
31:06Andy!
31:07It's been too long of a break!
31:08Let's go!
31:09Andy!
31:09That was my victory!
31:11There's another way you can do it besides that.
31:14Oh, so Blessing does he get the point then?
31:17Unless you can figure it out.
31:18Blessing does get the point.
31:19I don't know what degaussing is or means.
31:23You can do it with a wand, apparently.
31:26Um, actually, you can also degauss with a cloth.
31:28That is incorrect.
31:30What's degaussing?
31:31It is...
31:32What it looks like and what it feels like and it's awesome when you do it.
31:34Yeah, it's just kind of like with the magnetics that you're kind of like, almost like, demagnetizing.
31:40What?
31:41Andy.
31:41Um, actually.
31:42You do it in the settings, and when you hit the button, it goes, and it makes like a little
31:47sound and you hear, you feel the static, you feel it, you see it.
31:51How much more do I have to talk so I can get the answer right instead of Blessing?
31:54Well, you just repeat it the same answer, which is that you do it in the settings.
31:57And we'll call it there because settings is kind of close enough, but it isn't the exact
32:01thing.
32:02So, basically, degaussing is not just a manual thing.
32:06Many CRTs automatically degauss when switched on, which is that humming sound you just did.
32:11That is when it's degaussing.
32:13I'm old enough to have grown up with a CRT.
32:15Yeah.
32:15This sounds made up.
32:17No, it was awesome.
32:17You're all talking about there being, you have a wand that you need for your TV, and this
32:21is a thing everyone just is...
32:23What?
32:23The wand I have no idea about.
32:25And it hums?
32:26I would go into the settings and it would like, imagine, you know, when you see like power
32:31wash videos on TikTok and it's like, it feels so satisfying, that's what it feels like you're
32:37doing.
32:38That's how, it feels like you're kind of like...
32:40Is this like the static electricity that you feel off of the CRT?
32:44That makes sense.
32:45Okay.
32:45So, yeah, you're using the wand to kind of wipe all that off.
32:47Are you having the same experience as me?
32:48Where you think this is insane?
32:49Did you know about this?
32:50Oh, yeah, I knew all about...
32:51I'm a big degausser.
32:53Yeah.
32:53No, I used to degauss back in the day.
32:55Yeah.
32:55What the hell?
32:56Back in school, they called me the degauss man.
32:58Degauss daddy is what I thought you were going to say.
33:02That's a point for Blessing and that brings our final scores to three for Andy, three for
33:07Alana and our winner for the day with eight points, Blessing Adeoye Jr.
33:12Let's go.
33:12Eight points.
33:13This is embarrassing, Andy.
33:14Congratulations.
33:15Thank you all for playing and thank you for watching.
33:18Join us next time for even more pedantic corrections here on I'm Actually.
33:22I think I assumed that Mario runs faster than he does.
