Short filmTranscript
00:00From kind of funny to Monopoly money,
00:02nerds are passionate about a lot of things,
00:03but there's one thing they love above all else,
00:05and that is correcting people.
00:07This is I'm Action.
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.
00:28Hello.
00:28And joining us as always in the fact checker room,
00:30we 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,
00:40and 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.
00:51That's honestly the nicest thing anyone has said
00:54about 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,
01:00but that's for only legendary drops.
01:02Yeah, you don't drop legendary.
01:03You're in the Mother Battle Pastor.
01:05All right.
01:06So this is everyone's first time on the show.
01:08We'll go through the rules,
01:09and we'll just jump right into it.
01:10I have here in front of me a stack of statements.
01:13These are incorrect statements about video game properties
01:15that you know and love,
01:16and it is up to you to figure out what is incorrect,
01:19buzz in, and correct me.
01:20You must start all your corrections off with I'm actually,
01:23or I can't give you the point, as a matter of fact,
01:25so anyone else can buzz in, say I'm actually,
01:27and steal that correction from you.
01:29You're free to interrupt me at any time,
01:30and that's about it.
01:32So we're feeling ready?
01:33Feeling good.
01:34I think so.
01:34I guess.
01:35All right.
01:35Let's start with our first statement.
01:38In the Monster Hunter universe,
01:40players are supported by palicos,
01:42a race of cat-like bipedal creatures
01:44that run shops, cook elaborate meals,
01:46and sometimes accompany hunters into the field.
01:50Blessing.
01:51Um, actually, palicos aren't cat-like.
01:54That is correct, but I want you to elaborate further.
01:57What do you mean by that?
01:58Because they are dog-like.
02:00Uh, that, you found out what is incorrect,
02:02but that is not the correction we were looking for,
02:05so 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,
02:13and I just, I feel like as the woman on this couch,
02:16I'm supposed to know a lot about cats,
02:17and I'm, I don't, I don't.
02:19Don't put your pigeon help or something like that.
02:21Here's the thing, if you want to work together,
02:22because 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 those are not the palicos.
02:29But 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,
02:35and you're about to learn exactly how this game works.
02:39The correction we were looking for is
02:40Palico is their job title
02:42when they go on hunts with the player.
02:44The creatures themselves are felines.
02:46Oh, shut up.
02:49Get out.
02:50No way.
02:50Yeah, yeah, the felines and palicos,
02:53that's why you were able to get the dog and the cat,
02:55but the cats were felines and the dogs were-
02:58Canines with a Y.
02:59Wait, is it felines with a Y?
03:00Yeah, felines with a Y.
03:02So the dogs are also palicos.
03:03Yes, they're all palicos.
03:04So they're called palimutes.
03:06Oh, shut the fuck up.
03:08That's crazy.
03:08Yeah, yeah.
03:09Wow.
03:10Because they're pals.
03:11Yeah.
03:12Come on.
03:13Damn.
03:13Come on.
03:14That's their job.
03:15That's crazy.
03:15That's crazy.
03:16That point goes to blessing.
03:18I'll take it.
03:18Yeah.
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, let's move on to our next statement.
03:27Dredge features a number of mutated fish variants called aberrations.
03:31They include monsters like the eyeball-covered glaring sunfish,
03:34a ball of several entwined anchovies called the anchovy king,
03:39the vampire squid whose tentacles are covered in fang-like spines,
03:42and the two-headed no-tailed twin eels.
03:46Andy.
03:47Actually, there is no monster in the game dredge called the anchovy king.
03:51There is an anchovy king in the game dredge.
03:54I don't believe so.
03:55Blessing.
03:56Actually, the no-tailed twin eels aren't two-headed.
04:01They are two-headed.
04:02Yeah.
04:03Actually, 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,
04:12but humans are also the monster.
04:15Andy.
04:16Actually, it's a vampire octopus, not a squid.
04:21It 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.
04:40And 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 fine.
04:46Blessing.
04:47Um, actually, the mutated variants aren't all fish variants,
04:51because squid technically aren't fish?
04:54The concept of fish linguistically can refer to so many different things,
04:59and that's why you can't, like, fish as a 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.
05:07Okay, I'll just say that that's not the thing that's wrong with this statement.
05:11Wow.
05:11We will call it there.
05:13Y'all were dancing around it,
05:14but the correction we were looking for was that the vampire squid
05:18is a real deep-sea fish that doesn't appear in the game.
05:21So photos of the vampire squid are unique and rare
05:24because they are deep-sea creatures that aren't often photographed.
05:27In 2014, the world's first-ever vampire squid went on display
05:31at the Monterey Bay Aquarium,
05:32thanks to the efforts of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute's
05:36marine operations team.
05:38Let's see this stuff here.
05:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:40So this is one of the only photos,
05:42and it comes from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute,
05:45but if you were to look underneath that,
05:47there are spines on there.
05:48It is a very frightening-looking fish.
05:50Sorry, and are there photos of the other side,
05:53and 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,
05:58but I'm sure if you're at home right now,
06:01you're already Googling that,
06:02and I wish you the best of luck.
06:03There is no world where I'm calling that a fish.
06:05No, that's not a fish.
06:07I 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 the ears? What are you talking about?
06:12What ears?
06:12He's got, like, little flaps on the top.
06:14Are 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.
06:19I think you're just looking at it like,
06:20oh, those are probably, yeah.
06:21How else would he hear?
06:23All right, so that's no points for that statement,
06:25but we're going to move on to our next one.
06:28In the horror game Alan Wake 2,
06:30the writer Alan Wake is trapped in his own stories.
06:33He enlists the help of a heavy metal band
06:36called the Old Gods of Athens
06:38who perform a song to help him escape.
06:40Also, they might actually be the gods
06:42they are saying they are.
06:44Um, actually, the band is called
06:46the Old Gods of Asgard.
06:47That is correct.
06:49Wow.
06:49Founded by the brothers Thor and Odin Andersen,
06:52who it's actually implied
06:53they may actually be the Norse gods Thor and Odin.
06:56So, actually, the Old Guards of Asgard
06:58have an actual real-world counterpart
07:00in Poets of the Fall,
07:02a Finnish rock band from Helsinki
07:04who perform the songs in the video games
07:06and have created a YouTube channel
07:08that's, like, dedicated to the fictional band
07:10who they describe as their alter-ego band
07:13who lives in rocks
07:14in the universe of Remedy Entertainment's
07:16video games Alan Wake 1 and 2 and Control,
07:19which is a quote written by Legal,
07:21if I've ever read one myself.
07:24They even put out a Greatest Hits album
07:26containing all of the songs from the games
07:28plus a brand new track
07:29only available on the album.
07:31Dude, unbelievably cool.
07:33The segment in Alan Wake 2
07:35where you have to, like,
07:36use the song to get your way out
07:38to its old time.
07:40It's the dance sequences.
07:41It's unbelievably cool.
07:43Remedy is so good at making set pieces
07:45with music.
07:46Between that and, like, the...
07:47The controlled Ashtray Maze.
07:48The controls, yeah.
07:49The Ashtray Maze.
07:50Yeah, the Ashtray Maze.
07:51Oh, my God.
07:51It's so good.
07:52That wall is so cool.
07:53Shout out to the janitor.
07:55He's one of my favorite video game characters
07:57of all time.
07:57I love him.
07:58I haven't played any of the Alan Wake games yet
08:01because the only descriptor's like,
08:03no, this game is scary as fuck.
08:05Part 2 is awful.
08:07Yeah, exactly.
08:08It's great, but it's awful.
08:10Yeah, yeah.
08:10So you didn't say fun once.
08:12It probably is fun.
08:14Oh, I wanted it to end every second.
08:15Yeah, exactly.
08:16Is it awful wanting it to end every second?
08:18I'm not built for that.
08:20The latter half of the game,
08:21the old lady jumpscares?
08:23No.
08:23Oh, my God.
08:24I think I was, like, physically in pain
08:25at a certain point.
08:26Once again, another...
08:28It's really good, though.
08:29Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:30Great game!
08:31It's so funny because, like,
08:31we were saying all this freaky stuff
08:32about the game, right?
08:33But, like, they're also the only developer
08:34to where if their next game
08:36doesn't have some kind of, like,
08:37dance break or musical break,
08:38I'm going to be disappointed.
08:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:40Absolutely.
08:41So that point goes to Andy,
08:43and it is time for our next statement,
08:45which is a fan-submitted statement
08:46from Scary Mask.
08:49Metro City might be the most popular name
08:51for a fictional city in video games.
08:53It's maybe best known as the setting
08:55for the beat-em-up classic Final Fight,
08:57but other game series like Double Dragon,
09:00Condemned, Street Fighter, and Nightshade
09:02have featured their own
09:03completely unrelated Metro Cities.
09:06Alana?
09:07Um, actually,
09:07I don't think the city in Condemned
09:09is named Metro City.
09:10It is named Metro City.
09:12Blessing.
09:13Um, actually,
09:14the Metro City in Street Fighter
09:16is 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
09:24take place in the same universe,
09:25they feature the same Metro City.
09:28Damn.
09:28I feel really good about that one, guys.
09:29I actually knew that.
09:30Yeah.
09:31You love fighting games, right?
09:32I love fighting games.
09:32Yeah.
09:33You would have let the people down
09:34if you didn't know.
09:34Well, this brings us
09:36to our first shiny question of the game.
09:38Shiny questions,
09:39just like shiny Pokemon,
09:40are worth the same,
09:40but they're just
09:41a little bit different
09:42and a little rarer.
09:43This one is called
09:44Best Coast or Rest Coast.
09:50America is made up
09:52of the East Coast,
09:53the West Coast,
09:53and everything in between.
09:55Using your paddles,
09:56tell me,
09:56do these video games
09:57take place on the East Coast,
09:58the West Coast,
09:59or literally anywhere else
10:01in the country?
10:02Whoever guesses the most correctly
10:03wins the point.
10:04Okay, let's start
10:05with your first game.
10:07Grand Theft Auto 4.
10:12That is a point for everyone.
10:14Yes, that takes place
10:16in Liberty City,
10:17which is basically New York.
10:20All right, your next game.
10:22Alan Wake.
10:23We were just talking about it.
10:25Oh.
10:27I think it's Pacific Northwest.
10:28Yes, that is going to be Alana.
10:30You're correct.
10:31It's West Coast.
10:32It is Bright Falls, Washington.
10:35I should have known.
10:36All those trees.
10:36No, there was just this era
10:37of video games
10:38that was like the Lost of Us
10:39and that Motorbike Day is Gone
10:41and Alan Wake,
10:42Daily Premonition.
10:43They're all set there
10:44in that like one period of time.
10:45Everyone was just really on it.
10:46Super Bomberman as well.
10:47Dude, I lived in Seattle.
10:48Like, I should have known this.
10:49Yeah, yeah.
10:50All right, let's look
10:51at your next game,
10:52Watch Dogs.
10:56Uh...
10:57Okay.
10:58Blessing,
10:59and Andy is correct.
11:00It is elsewhere.
11:01It is in Chicago.
11:02Oh, yeah.
11:03Oh, I was thinking
11:03of San Francisco.
11:05Part 2.
11:06Yeah, Part 2.
11:06Okay, your next game.
11:10Silent Hill.
11:12Silent Hill.
11:16No one got that correctly.
11:18That is East Coast.
11:19It takes place in Maine.
11:21Oh, that makes sense.
11:21Of course it does.
11:22That gives Maine vibes.
11:24Stephen King.
11:24For sure.
11:26Resident Evil 2
11:27is your next game.
11:29That's good.
11:29Excuse me?
11:30Yeah, what?
11:31Maybe?
11:33Andy, you get the point.
11:35It's elsewhere,
11:35because Raccoon City
11:36is somewhere in the Midwest.
11:38Wow.
11:38Somewhere in the Midwest.
11:39I thought it was
11:40kind of New York-y.
11:41I was just going to say,
11:42Raccoon City is not a real place,
11:43so it's probably...
11:44Yeah, I mean, that's true.
11:45Well, kind of Silent Hill, Andy.
11:46Oh, shit.
11:47Yeah.
11:47Yeah, I think when you all said
11:49elsewhere for Silent Hill,
11:50you were thinking of, like,
11:51in a weird dream state.
11:53Which, not fair.
11:54Inside 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?
12:05It's L.A., man.
12:07You're right.
12:07It is L.A.
12:09You did it so fast
12:10that maybe I thought
12:11we were wrong.
12:12You know what?
12:13Is the N at Night City
12:14made me think New York?
12:15Mm.
12:16You know, I just have...
12:16All the letters, of course.
12:17Yeah, all the letters.
12:19And I just got major city vibes,
12:20which I guess L.A.
12:21is a major city, but...
12:22Yeah, and the intro,
12:23the guy's talking,
12:24and he's like,
12:24all the way down of Sacramento.
12:27I don't know.
12:27It's going to be my character
12:28in the desert.
12:28Yeah, you got a desert.
12:30Yeah.
12:31Your next game
12:31is Alone in the Dark.
12:33Alone in the Dark.
12:37Blessing is correct.
12:39It takes place in Louisiana.
12:41I'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...
12:48It's an Alone in the Dark-like,
12:49but it's in Central Park.
12:51Am I inventing a video game?
12:52There is a Central Park
12:54in N Alone in the Dark,
12:56but we were talking
12:57about the original game,
12:58which was Louisiana.
12:59Yep, fair enough.
13:00Let's move on
13:01to 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,
13:11Arcadia Bay, Oregon.
13:13Pacific Northwest.
13:13Yep.
13:14Same here, dude.
13:15I was about to say,
13:16it seems like such
13:17a Pacific Northwest game.
13:18Trees.
13:19Yeah.
13:20Assassin's Creed 3.
13:22Assassin's Creed 3.
13:24Oh, man.
13:25This is going to be one of those.
13:26Oh, Andy, you got to know.
13:27You have to know.
13:27You got to know.
13:28It was, in fact,
13:29the East Coast,
13:30Boston, and New York.
13:31Oh.
13:32There you go.
13:32That's not the Italy one.
13:34No.
13:35Damn.
13:36It's right there.
13:37Oh, I didn't.
13:39Anytime I play
13:40one of those Assassin's Creed games,
13:41they take me back
13:42into the future,
13:43and I'm like,
13:44I don't give a shit about this.
13:45But that's also in New York.
13:46But, like, just stop all of it.
13:47You know?
13:47Just get rid of
13:48all of the future stuff.
13:50I have, like,
13:50a 30-minute long
13:51YouTube video
13:52that I wrote
13:52that's in defense
13:53of the animus
13:54in Assassin's Creed.
13:55It should have been
13:56eight minutes long.
13:56Shut up.
13:57I'm sorry.
13:57The Desmond stuff,
13:58when that first trilogy came out,
14:00was very good sci-fi.
14:02Like, extremely cool.
14:04And then they kind of
14:05messed it up
14:05with Assassin's Creed 3,
14:06so I have, like,
14:06a personal vendetta
14:07against this game
14:08because they were like,
14:08nah, don't worry about that.
14:10So they, like,
14:10cut through it.
14:11In defense of your
14:12indefense of,
14:12that was the coolest
14:14part of Assassin's Creed to me.
14:15Like, I was like,
14:16oh, this amplified
14:18this game to me
14:19because there's this
14:19whole sci-fi aspect.
14:21The first three games,
14:21the whole thing
14:22was that you were
14:23playing as one
14:24of the Assassins
14:25to get the Pieces of Eden,
14:26to find them
14:26in the modern day,
14:27and while you were doing it,
14:28the idea was you were
14:29having this bleeding effect,
14:30so, like,
14:30everything that Ezio
14:31learned to do,
14:32Desmond would learn
14:32to do in the real world.
14:33So they were setting it up
14:34so Game 3 would be,
14:35like, this modern-day era.
14:37You have the Pieces of Eden,
14:38and you were doing
14:39cool Assassin stuff
14:40in the modern-day world,
14:42and it was awesome.
14:43One of the things
14:44I do love about
14:45the, like,
14:45weird future-backed stuff
14:47is, like,
14:47they love to do
14:48just enough
14:49historical accuracy
14:50so that way
14:51they can put in things like,
14:52and also,
14:53there's an Apple of Eden,
14:54and we,
14:55and everyone needs it,
14:56and it caused
14:57a whole generation
14:57of kids to be like,
14:59is the Apple of Eden real?
15:01Is that a real thing?
15:02And it's like,
15:02no, some of the other stuff
15:03was real about the game,
15:04but not most of it.
15:06Most of it,
15:06this whole has magic powers?
15:07Yeah, it does, yeah.
15:09Blessing,
15:10and you got five correct.
15:11Alana,
15:12you got five correct,
15:13and Andy,
15:14you got five correct.
15:15So that is a point
15:16for everyone.
15:17Damn.
15:18Wow, good problem.
15:19So let's move on
15:19to our next statement.
15:22In 2008,
15:23Nintendo won two Emmys,
15:25one for the Wiimote
15:26and one for the DS
15:27Dual Touchscreen.
15:28The previous year,
15:29they won their first Emmy
15:30for the DS Lite Stylus.
15:33Alana.
15:34Actually, that's ridiculous.
15:35You can't win
15:36an Emmy for a stylus.
15:37You're close enough
15:38in that statement.
15:40Like, you can be more specific,
15:41but saying that it is ridiculous
15:44is not the correct answer,
15:46but it was about the stylus.
15:47I did say,
15:48that's ridiculous,
15:49you can't win an Emmy
15:50for a stylus.
15:51I'm sure someone
15:52has won an Emmy
15:52for a stylus.
15:53Get out of here.
15:54There's a technology
15:56and engineering Emmy.
15:57So there's like the Emmys
15:58we typically know,
15:59and then there's the other ones.
16:00Um, actually,
16:01they did not win
16:02for a DS Lite Stylus.
16:03Uh, that is correct.
16:05They didn't win it
16:06for the DS Lite Stylus.
16:07They won it
16:08for the NES D-Pad,
16:09which came out
16:10roughly 25 years earlier.
16:13It was literally
16:13in 2007
16:15that they won the award
16:16for its invention
16:17of the plus-shaped D-Pad,
16:19which by that point in time
16:20was very, very old.
16:22Wow.
16:22But, you know, hey,
16:23I'm glad that they got
16:24their flowers
16:24whenever they got it.
16:25That's great for them.
16:26I'm just gonna, um,
16:27actually,
16:27your decision
16:28to have Andy
16:28give that point.
16:29I just phrased it
16:30in a jokey way
16:31because it's a comedy show,
16:32but my answer was still
16:33the Stylus is wrong.
16:35Um, actually,
16:36that's my point.
16:37I think your line
16:38of thinking was,
16:39um, actually,
16:39it should have been
16:40a game award or something.
16:41No, it wasn't.
16:42It was that dumb.
16:43You said it was ridiculous
16:44that they would win,
16:45not they didn't do it.
16:46It's a comedy show!
16:48I just said,
16:48well, it's not a fact.
16:50I just put some flowers
16:51on the phrase.
16:52Um, actually, Alana,
16:53you phrased your thing wrong,
16:55you know?
16:55You should have phrased it.
16:56Yeah, yeah.
16:57You gotta take the show seriously.
16:59I gotta lock in.
17:00So that is a point for Andy.
17:02Ah, that's so stupid.
17:03Yes.
17:04Ridiculous.
17:05Time for our next statement.
17:08War.
17:09War never changes.
17:10These lines open
17:11every Fallout title,
17:12including Fallout 76.
17:14Bethesda's MMO gets around
17:16any canonical
17:17or spoiler issues
17:18by setting all of its events
17:19in 2102,
17:2159 years before the first game.
17:24Player characters
17:24all originate
17:25from Vault 76
17:27and enter
17:27The Wasteland
17:28as part of Reclamation Day.
17:30Blessing.
17:31War.
17:31War never changes.
17:33Those words don't open
17:34every Fallout title.
17:35It does.
17:36That's their whole thing.
17:38Alana.
17:38Um, actually,
17:39it's not 59 years
17:40before the first game.
17:41That is correct,
17:42but can you be more specific
17:43as to why?
17:44Uh,
17:45I don't think
17:47that they're that far apart.
17:48They are that far apart,
17:50but you did find out
17:51what's incorrect.
17:52We'll give Andy and Blessing
17:54a chance to try
17:55and see if they know why.
17:57It is not set 59 years
18:00before the first game
18:02because it's set 59 years
18:04after the first game?
18:05That is incorrect.
18:06Andy?
18:07Um, actually,
18:08it's 58 years
18:10before the first game.
18:11Okay, sorry,
18:11can I try again?
18:12You're gonna get the point,
18:13but you can try again
18:14if you want.
18:14Is it phrasing?
18:15It's 59 years
18:16before the first game
18:16rather than 59 years
18:17before the events
18:18of the first game?
18:19No, no.
18:19So while Fallout 76
18:20initially took place
18:21in 2102,
18:22each update
18:23actually progressed
18:24the setting
18:25by one year.
18:26Damn.
18:26So the game currently
18:27takes place in 2105.
18:30Wow.
18:30Oh, that's really cool.
18:31I think that's a fun way
18:32to do it,
18:32but also,
18:33I don't know anyone
18:34who plays the MMO stuff.
18:35That's the tough thing
18:36about it.
18:36It's gotten pretty good.
18:37I feel like they need
18:37to do, like,
18:38a big expansion.
18:39They need to do
18:40something more exciting
18:40because the last update
18:42I saw the trailer for
18:43was a big update
18:44about fishing.
18:45And I'm like,
18:46that's not the thing.
18:47Yeah, yeah,
18:47that's not gonna bring
18:48people back.
18:49Speak for yourself.
18:50Okay, I love fishing.
18:51I'm not hating on fishing.
18:52I'm just like,
18:52this is Fallout.
18:53You know what I mean?
18:54Like, give me Super Mutants.
18:55Let me play as a Super Mutant.
18:56We've come a long way
18:57when the thing
18:58that people were
18:58most excited about
18:59was the update
19:00where they added
19:00voiced characters.
19:02Oh my gosh,
19:02don't get me started.
19:03Whoa, they have voices.
19:04Big day.
19:04Oh, yeah.
19:05The dating profiles
19:06for dudes
19:06are gonna be huge
19:07in that game
19:08with all the fishing
19:09going on there.
19:10Oh, yeah.
19:10A lot of great profiles.
19:12Wait till they added Jim.
19:13I thought myself
19:14was gonna go crazy.
19:15That is a point for Alana.
19:16The scores now
19:17is Alana with two.
19:19Blessing and Andy
19:20tied with three.
19:21And one of them
19:21he doesn't deserve, so.
19:22Yes.
19:23It is anyone's game.
19:25It is time
19:26for our next statement.
19:28Fortnite uses
19:29the color rarity system
19:31first seen in Diablo
19:32with items falling
19:33into the ranking.
19:34White for common,
19:36green for uncommon,
19:37blue for rare,
19:37purple for epic,
19:38orange for legendary,
19:39and gold for mythic.
19:41Plus, sky blue
19:42for exotic items
19:43and red
19:43for the transcendent rarity.
19:46Alana.
19:46Um, actually,
19:47I feel like blue
19:48is not rare.
19:49Blue is rare.
19:50Damn.
19:51Um, actually,
19:51that rarity system
19:52was not first seen
19:54in Diablo.
19:55That is correct.
19:56Although this common
19:58color rarity system
19:59is based on games
19:59like Diablo,
20:01its appearance in Diablo
20:02is based on the
20:031993 roguelike
20:05Engband.
20:06Wait, what?
20:07What's it called?
20:08Engband?
20:09It's a text-based one,
20:10and it's the first time
20:11that, like,
20:13basically,
20:13it wasn't even, like,
20:14multiple rarities,
20:15but sometimes
20:16the thing would come up
20:16as blue
20:17to show that, like,
20:19the blue text
20:19meant, oh,
20:20it's extra rare
20:21and this is a good one.
20:22Uh, and it's truly,
20:23you have to, like,
20:24find this in a very specific,
20:26Ben Hansen does an interview
20:27with David Brevik,
20:29who is the developer
20:30of Diablo,
20:30and he was like,
20:31oh, you made
20:32the color rarity system,
20:33and he's like,
20:33technically not.
20:34I took that
20:35from Engband.
20:36You guys haven't played
20:37Engband?
20:38Cool, sure.
20:39The devs of Engband
20:40were like,
20:40that was actually a bug.
20:41We didn't program that.
20:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:43The colors weren't supposed
20:43to pop up.
20:44Yeah, yeah.
20:44Imagine just, like,
20:45typing in your computer,
20:46like, oh, tell me the color.
20:47I hope it's purple.
20:48That's wild.
20:49So that is a point
20:50for blessing,
20:51and this brings us
20:52to our next shiny question,
20:54which is called
20:55Weapon of Choice.
21:02Video games,
21:03home of the weirdest
21:03weapons you've ever seen.
21:05But do you know
21:06which games created
21:07these particular tools
21:08of destruction?
21:09Buzz in and tell me
21:10which title each
21:11of these weapons
21:12belonged to,
21:13and whoever gets
21:14the most correct
21:14wins the point.
21:15Your first weapon
21:16is the penetrator.
21:20Blessing.
21:21Saints Row,
21:23do I have to tell you
21:23the specific entry?
21:25You can take a swing at it.
21:26I'm going to say
21:27Saints Row 3.
21:28That is correct.
21:29Take a swing
21:29with that dildo bat.
21:31Oh, I did.
21:32Yeah, they actually,
21:33they sent them out
21:34to people who worked
21:36in games media
21:37at the time,
21:37so you got a replica
21:38of the dildo bat.
21:39That can't be ethical.
21:41Was it bat size?
21:41Yeah, I think
21:42it was a little smaller.
21:43Was it firm,
21:44or was it, like,
21:44on the left
21:45where we see in the picture
21:45where, like,
21:46it kind of 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
21:51to our next video game,
21:53Teapot Cannon.
21:58Is that Alice
22:00Madness Returns, maybe?
22:01Yes, that's correct.
22:02What the f***?
22:03Dude, game rules.
22:03They also,
22:04they tried to make
22:04a second one
22:05via Kickstarter,
22:06because it's
22:06American McGee, I think,
22:07and legal, like,
22:09basically totally
22:10tore it apart,
22:10which is such a bummer,
22:11because that game
22:11was really creative.
22:12It was super fun.
22:13That's a good-ass
22:14deep cut right there.
22:15Yeah, yeah.
22:15That's a great pull.
22:16All right, how about
22:17this Rocket Launcher?
22:19I know I know this.
22:20I mean...
22:21Alana.
22:22Could it be
22:23Sunset Overdrive?
22:24No, the great pull,
22:25but that is incorrect.
22:26It doesn't look like it is.
22:29Blessing.
22:29Is it from Fallout?
22:31Which one?
22:32Three.
22:33No, three.
22:33Yes, three.
22:36Little s***.
22:39That's a tickle of my answer.
22:40Yeah, yeah.
22:41That is...
22:42That's a point.
22:43That's called coffee.
22:44I was going to say,
22:46it looked like Fallout,
22:47but that seemed too blatant,
22:48because we had a question about it.
22:50What tripped me up for a second
22:52is I looked at it
22:54for a second longer,
22:54and I was like,
22:55are those PS3 graphics
22:56or PS4 graphics?
22:57Yeah, yeah.
22:57I love that game.
22:58Oh, me too.
22:59That...
23:00Except the ending.
23:00New Vegas, too.
23:02Yeah.
23:02Your next weapon
23:03is the Keyblade.
23:06Blessing.
23:07Kingdom Hearts.
23:07Shut up.
23:08Yes.
23:09Didn't even wait for it
23:10to pop up.
23:10Peace, that day.
23:11Yeah.
23:11All right.
23:12Your next weapon
23:13is the Rotten Egg.
23:16Alana.
23:17This is...
23:18This can't be right.
23:19Is it Banjo-Tooie?
23:20No, that is incorrect.
23:21Those textures look so Banjo-Tooie-coded.
23:23Well, because you do shoot eggs,
23:24and I think some of them are rotten,
23:26but I don't think they look like that.
23:27I'm going to guess World of Warcraft.
23:30Incorrect.
23:31I'm going to say Bully.
23:33Incorrect.
23:34Ooh, good guess.
23:35All 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.
23:43You don't remember throwing eggs?
23:44No, I don't remember having an egg.
23:45Titula item rotten egg?
23:47A one-hit kill when you threw in at enemies.
23:49Yeah.
23:50Let'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.
23:59That's correct.
23:59Dr. Mario shoots pills at his opponents
24:02in the Smash Brothers games.
24:04Yeah, nice, you guys.
24:05Bonus point for me.
24:06Nice.
24:06Great job.
24:06All right, your next weapon is a severed arm.
24:11Dead Rising?
24:12Incorrect.
24:13That's a great guess.
24:14It's a really good guess.
24:15I just keep replaying a quote in my head,
24:17and I don't know what movie or thing it's from,
24:19but it's a quote that's like,
24:20I'll beat a motherfucker with another motherfucker.
24:23That's all it's talking about.
24:24Sounds cool, whatever it is.
24:25I got to find out what that is and watch it again.
24:28Yeah, we'll just call that one there.
24:29That's from Vampire the Masquerade Bloodline.
24:31Oh, my God.
24:32That would have guessed.
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.
24:46Crumb Software's games feature several recurring elements,
24:49like Moonlight Greatsword,
24:51but none as divisive as the Cowardly Trickster Patches.
24:54First appearing in a mech in Armored Core for Answer,
24:58he can also be found in human form in Demon's Souls,
25:01Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring.
25:04Alana.
25:05Um, 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.
25:11Um, actually, it's not a mech, it's a pilot.
25:13He appears inside of a pilot?
25:15That's hot.
25:16I like that.
25:16I gotta play Armored Core for Answer.
25:18I'm really wrong.
25:19We gotta play it.
25:20It's a small pilot within a pilot.
25:21Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:22He appears inside of me.
25:23Damn, all 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,
25:33because you've been starting the petition for Bloodborne on PC,
25:37and 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.
25:41Yeah, yeah, because 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.
25:50It's a good game right there, Bloodborne.
25:51It's a pretty good video game.
25:52People should play it.
25:53I bought a $1,200 factory-sealed PS5 so that I could mod it
26:00and play Bloodborne 60 frames per second.
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.
26:12You saw that spider head in 60 frames per second.
26:15It was so smooth.
26:16Yeah, yeah.
26:16It was so smooth.
26:17All right, so that point goes to blessing.
26:19We're going to move on to our next statement.
26:22You can romance any of your companions in Bulger's Gate 3,
26:25but some are trickier to woo than the others.
26:28Minthara can't even be recruited into the party until Act 2,
26:31although you can have sex with her in Act 1
26:33simply by betraying the Tieflings.
26:35You monster.
26:35Um, actually, you cannot have sex with Minthara in Act 1.
26:38You can.
26:39Um, actually, you can never recruit Mintharo.
26:42You just smash and that's it.
26:43No, you can recruit Minthara.
26:46You can.
26:47Um, actually, it's not by betraying the Tieflings.
26:49It is by betraying the Tieflings.
26:51Blessing.
26:51Um, actually, you can't romance any of your companions.
26:54That is correct.
26:56Do 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?
27:03He'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,
27:10despite how hot they are.
27:12Damn.
27:12You can't romance Jahira?
27:14No.
27:14I didn't even know that one.
27:14Second playthrough canceled.
27:15Yeah, so 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
27:34is one of the most important levels in all video games.
27:36That's why we believe you should be able to play it blindfolded.
27:40Contestants will have one minute to play the level while blindfolded,
27:42and whoever gets the furthest wins.
27:45Contestants who aren't playing,
27:46feel 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!
27:54Great, great, great.
27:55Blessing, you are allowed to keep going.
27:57Even after you die, you have three lives,
28:00as is the norm for Super Mario Bros.
28:02Go for it.
28:05Hit R2, Blessing.
28:06R2?
28:07Okay, I got it.
28:07R2 and L3 for the Super Jump.
28:09There's a Goomba in here somewhere
28:11that I want to make sure I don't hit.
28:13Oh!
28:13I hit the Goomba, didn't I?
28:16That's okay, your timer is still going.
28:18You got it?
28:19All right, if I keep jumping...
28:20Yeah, hit another Goomba.
28:22Oh, Lord, okay.
28:22All right, here's your third life.
28:24If I can just make it to that first pipe...
28:27You did.
28:27You did.
28:27Oh, did I really?
28:28Yeah, yeah.
28:30Oh!
28:34Andy?
28:36All right, yeah, yes, first Goomba.
28:39You're still in it.
28:41Oh, Andy is sneaking on you.
28:42It's right there, right in front of...
28:44Oh, you jumped over it, you 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.
28:51All right, okay.
28:52Oh!
28:54All right, that's okay, you 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!
29:09Was that death?
29:09That was death.
29:10Oh, damn it.
29:11But 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?
29:23Oh, first Goomba.
29:24You were going right.
29:25You were doing great.
29:26You were doing great.
29:26Thanks so much.
29:28The Goomba gets removed here, so if you just run for it, yeah, there it is.
29:31That's totally rough.
29:32That's really rough.
29:33I believe in Alana.
29:34Yeah, here you go.
29:35Thanks so much.
29:35She's so cooked.
29:37Yeah.
29:37She's so cooked.
29:38Oh, I got that first Goomba.
29:40Oh, you killed that Goomba, yep.
29:40Nice.
29:43Oh, oh.
29:44Oh, my God.
29:45Oh, you got a jump?
29:46Yeah.
29:47Oh, my gosh.
29:47No, no, no, no, no.
29:48No way!
29:48No!
29:49No!
29:50No!
29:51No!
29:51No!
29:53You made it the furthest.
29:54Oh, my God.
29:55Damn it.
29:55You got past the first gap.
29:57Yeah, no, you made it past the jump, and then you jumped into a Goomba.
30:01I want to see the replay.
30:02You can't do that on the CRT.
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
30:16for Blessing.
30:17We're going to catch him any minute now.
30:18We'll be fine.
30:18We got to team up.
30:19Seven-six if we combine.
30:21Yeah, 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 monitoring 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
30:48by waving a degaussing wand in front of the screen.
30:51Degaussing can fix distorted images on the screen caused by magnetic interference.
30:56It can also be done in the settings.
30:59It doesn't have to be a manual thing.
31:00You did not say, I'm actually.
31:02Shit!
31:03Blessing.
31:03I'm actually.
31:05You can do it in the settings.
31:06Andy!
31:07It's been too long of a break.
31:09Let's go!
31:09Andy!
31:09That was my victory.
31:11There's another way you can do it besides that.
31:15So Blessing, does he get the point, then?
31:17Unless you can figure it out, Blessing does get the point.
31:20I 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.
31:29That is incorrect.
31:30What's degaussing?
31:31I know what 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.
31:39What?
31:41Andy.
31:42Um, actually, you do it in the settings, and when you hit the button, it goes, and it makes, like,
31:47a little sound, and you hear the, 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 thing.
32:02So, basically, degaussing is not just a manual thing.
32:05Many 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.
32:17We're all talking about there being, you have a wand that you need for your TV, and this is a
32:21thing everyone just is, what?
32:23Well, I don't, the 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 wash videos
32:32on TikTok, and it's, like, it feels so satisfying.
32:36I finished the whole power wash.
32:37That's what it feels like you're doing.
32:38That's how, it feels like you're kind of, like, like.
32:40Is this, like, is this, like, the static electricity that you feel off of the CRT?
32:45Right, that makes sense.
32:45Okay, so, yeah, you're using the wand to kind of wipe all that off.
32:47Are you having the same experience as me, where you think this is insane?
32:49Did you know about this?
32:50Oh, yeah, I knew all about, I'm a big degausser.
32:53Yeah, no, I used to degauss back in the day.
32:55What the hell?
32:56They called me, back in school, they called me the degauss man.
32:58Degauss daddy is what I thought you were going to say.
33:01BGD.
33:02That's a point for Blessing, and that brings our final scores to three for Andy, three for Alana, and our
33:08winner for the day with eight points, Blessing Adeoye Jr.
33:12Eight points.
33:13This is embarrassing, Andy.
33:15Thank you all for playing, and thank you for watching.
33:19Join us next time for even more pedantic corrections here on I'm Actually.
33:22I think I assume that Mario runs faster than he does.
33:27There?
33:29Okay.
33:34That was great.
33:36I don't know.
33:39You
