Hello and...
Hello and welcome back to Smosh Mouth.
I'm Shane.
And I'm Amanda.
And we have a special guest that we haven't had on before, Spencer Agnew.
Thank you guys for having me.
Is that your last name?
Is that his name?
Yeah.
Agnew?
I do really want to do a challenge where we all try and spell Angela's last name and see if you can get the close-up.
Oh, God.
G-I-A-R-R-T-A-Z-X-Y-V.
I think that's correct.
Thank you.
Spencer, thank you for being here.
Today is the gamer episode.
This is all about gaming.
So if you aren't a gamer, that's fine.
Stick around because you're going to learn all about gaming.
We have two gamers here and one person who is not a gamer.
She is such a gamer.
She plays games every day
of her life
what were your top
three games again?
Grand Theft Auto
I think it was
Vice City
Vice City
thank you
and we've triggered that out
007
okay
GoldenEye
cool
for N64 it was actually Asian Under Fire very cool 007. Okay. Golden Eye. Cool.
For N64.
It was actually Asian Under Fire.
Very cool.
And what's the fucking,
God, now I sound stupid.
The Tony Hawk.
Tony Hawk Pro Skater.
Thank you.
I played that a little bit.
Wasn't super into it.
And that's in your top three.
Also on Gateway 2000,
the mouse game
where the mouse
has to go through
and chase the cheese
by the castle.
Thank you very much.
And,
where in the world
is Carmen Sandiego?
Okay.
Hello?
That counts.
Big gamer right here.
Stop the clock.
I searched for Carmen Sandiego
and had to
kind of laser elevators
to see if I could find her.
Do you guys remember that game?
You had the laser elevators?
Yeah, it was like...
I never played.
Okay.
I was playing real games.
I guess the real gamer is here, me.
But clearly, Spencer, you are the actual gamer.
We know this because on Smosh Games,
we did a guess the game thing
where we're shown an image
of a sliver
of a screen of a game,
and you were scary
good at it. You knew games
that I had never even heard of,
like Legacy of Kain,
and you were like,
oh, that's definitely Psychonauts 2,
and you would be correct.
I think I just I kind of absorb
that kind of knowledge like a sponge like oh and it happens for movies too like you know I I can
really like I can see a movie once and I don't really forget that experience like that movie
or like that game that I played like it's all just I don't know like it's crazy sometimes people be
like I can't believe you
remember that. You saw that movie once.
That's kind of why it's
when people are like, yeah, I
watched that movie four times in a week.
That's crazy because I can kind of recount it
pretty easily.
I don't know. I'm with you on that.
Do you have a bit of a picture memory?
I think so. Photographic. Photographic memory?
Is that what it's called?
Yeah, it's called a photograph.
That's fine.
Picture memories.
You have a picture memory?
I think for movies and games, yes.
I'm the same way.
When people are like, oh, I saw that movie four times, I'm like, why?
Everything is... Yeah, it was the same.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll remember...
I will, over time, start to fade out small details, but I'll remember the gist of a movie.
Oh, I remember like all the little scenes.
I have like standout moments,
and I think about those moments so much
that I forget other parts of it.
Like, for instance, Metal Gear Solid 4,
there's a part where you're driving around
on a motorcycle in Europe,
and you hit this cool ramp and it goes slow motion
for the first time in the game. You go through all the game and it never is slow motion ramp and it goes slow motion for the first time in the game.
You go through all the game and it never is slow motion.
Suddenly it's slow motion for this moment
and my brain just thinks about that
because when I was playing it,
young me was just like, whoa, freaking out.
Oh, so you remember the really cool moments.
I remember the moments that really got me going.
You triggered a memory actually of another game
that I played that probably, me and my sister
are trying to figure out what it's called
but we can't remember it.
I definitely had a lot of computer games.
It was just me on skis.
Like I played a guy on ski.
On ski free.
Is that it?
See what I'm talking about?
So you'd ski a mountain and that's it
and you're just like.
And our whole goal was to try to get to this side of the mountain but you were ski a mountain and that's it and you're just like
and our whole goal was to try to get
to this side of the mountain but you were like
and the Yeti comes and get you?
Yes!
Yeah, yeah, it's ski free.
It was in that collection with like the mouse game.
And then there's that pirate named the skin taker
and he shows up.
That's the other episode.
Yeah.
Holy shit, I have a lot of questions.
So you played a bunch of games like on your computer
when you were a kid, or you didn't play them a ton.
We seriously, I grew up with, there was four sisters,
so we had Barbies, but my little sister was a gamer.
She was obsessed.
Capital G.
She played Age of Empires, she played Sims.
She had a little fucking gamer.
Other than that, we had nothing, what is it called?
A little gamer.
Shut up.
A little gamer. Other than that, we had nothing. What is it called? A little gamer. Shut up. A little gamer.
I can judge you for not knowing a Game Boy.
Anyways, we didn't
have PlayStation until later, and my
mom despised it.
She despised it. She was like,
turn it off.
She thought it was witchcraft. Yeah, we just couldn't
Get that cursed
device out of here.
Your mom's a pirate.
She's so piratey.
So the computer games were like,
because it would be like, oh, I'm working.
Sneak in there.
No, it's really funny, like the absolute,
like the quality of games that we would play as a kid,
kind of because it was like all that was available.
Because you couldn't like download games from the internet.
Like now you go on Steam and it's literally
thousands of games released a week.
And you own thousands of games.
I do, yeah.
Do you?
I think I own like, it's crazy.
What if you throw out a number?
I think it's probably 2,000 or 3,000.
What?
But you know that you're not gonna play
at least 1,500 of those games.
No.
Ever. I'm not gonna play,
I'll play like a game a month maybe.
Why do you have that many games then?
A lot of them you just kind of,
you kind of just wind up collecting them.
Like I'll see like,
oh, like I wanna play that game later.
And it'll be like $10 so you'll buy it.
And then.
Is it all in your computer?
Yeah, so it's all,
it's all on this account
and you can open that account anywhere.
So it's like I can, you know, put it on my computer at work. I can do, so it's all on this account, and you can open that account anywhere. So it's like I can put it on my computer at work.
I can do, so it's like.
So you're not working.
Yeah, so I have like that.
Well, he is working.
He's in charge of games.
Oh, my God.
At Smosh.
So, yeah.
Technically.
Did you ever read The Far Side?
Like the comics?
Yeah, that's where they'd have like cows sometimes.
Yeah, it was kind of cow themed.
You've seen them.
I've seen them.
Again, comic books.
It was next to the family circus.
It was in the newspaper.
This is real gamer talk.
Oh, in the newspaper?
Yeah.
The newspaper was for me to see what movies were playing.
Do you guys remember when movies were only in the newspaper
or you'd have to call and listen to all the movies?
I'm not that old, but this is, what is happening?
Hello?
I don't know why I don't remember that.
You don't?
Do you remember the newspaper?
No, I remember this.
Do you remember the newspaper?
The only two things I would go, I would see what movies were out and then I would see, and then I would read like fucking Dilbert.
Okay, I would read Dilbert.
I feel like Spencer and I are very similar.
Yeah.
But the Farsight, anyway, there was this one cartoon,
and it was like this little kid sitting there.
I know this one.
Yeah, and the little kid's sitting there,
and he's playing like he's a Super Nintendo or something like that,
and there's the parents behind him,
and the dad's got like a pipe and stuff,
and they're looking like really proud,
and it's like hopeful, and the caption's like hopeful parents and it's them picturing
this like, the job listings in the newspaper.
It's like wanted gamer, like $100,000 a year salary,
like plus Ferrari, like all those.
And it was like all these listings
and my parents would always bring that up to me
as a kid, like oh yeah, this is what you think
is gonna happen, blah blah blah.
And now that I literally do have a job,
I love shooting that joke back at them.
No, in many ways I truly do get paid
to be a gamer in many ways.
Which is.
You do.
It's funny that you mention that you play a game a month
because you are so busy making content about games
that you actually
don't have enough time to game.
That's true.
It's like, I mean, it's kind of the same
like with shows and movies and games.
Like by the time I'm done with work,
by the time I get home, I kind of just want to watch YouTube.
Like it's, I don't really have the,
like to me watching a movie is kind of energy
or playing a game is expending energy.
It's thought, or there's not really head empty.
What's funny is that I feel like you and Damien are seen as more the gamers on Smosh,
but I do play a lot of video games in my spare time.
I just don't play the games that we play on camera that often.
I'm playing Legend of Zelda
all the time or I'll play
I was playing Vampire Survivors for a while
I did get hooked on Party Animals though
that game was awesome
it's always really funny to see what you get
hooked on I get hooked on and it
ranges
but I've had a hard time with games that require a big
commitment like RPGs and stuff
like I think I know we always talk about Last of Us Part 2 but I think had a hard time with games that require a big commitment, like RPGs and stuff. I know we always talk about Last of Us Part II,
but I think if that were to come out right now,
I'd be like, I don't have the time to play this.
I know, I know.
I feel like Last of Us, my friend,
watched all that gameplay.
I feel like if it's really interesting,
I would be down to watch the gameplay of that.
There's so many games that I would like you to see
because I think you would be into them.
Like, I think you would truly be into so many of these games.
I know.
I honestly, I know that I would.
I think when I get exposed, like with D&D, like when I get exposed to something, I am so into it because I love like mystical stories.
And my husband's a gamer.
He plays games.
And I'll sometimes I'll sit and watch and be like,
ugh, I can't do this.
But some of them, like Diablo, I was like,
ooh, I'm fucking into this.
This is dark and spooky.
I would argue that if you enjoy watching Diablo,
there's other games you would really enjoy.
Because Diablo's not that fun to watch, I would contend.
Yeah, there's certain...
I would almost say. There's, yeah, there's certain, yeah, like, I would almost say, like,
the, the,
like, The Last of Us show
was, like, fine, but the game
is almost, like, even more
crazy, especially by, like,
by the time you get to the second one, like,
just, I think you'd be really blown away by, like,
the fidelity and stuff like that, and, like,
the storytelling at
Expose Me. No, I think that'd be awesome.
I think it'd be great.
And look, we have a whole channel where we can do it.
I would absolutely love that because...
What about a horror game?
You know I love that.
Okay.
I mean, Last of Us is scary.
But there's like horror games.
No, like horror.
When I played Baldur's Gate with...
Well, I didn't play.
I sat and watched Damien do it.
I was super into that, too.
Oh, yeah, that's a storytelling game.
I love storytelling.
I love characters.
I love creatures.
I love creatures.
And I love, there's horror,
tons of horror aspects in Baldur's Gate.
Yeah.
Isn't there like a brain that moves?
It's not a horror game.
But there are a lot of like,
I am obsessed,
and I was thinking about this driving in,
like how many, just kind of how much I love
like horror concepts, like as a,
because I'm trying to remember what I wanted to explain.
But yeah, just like, you know,
like the concept of like that worm infesting your brain.
Speaking of, we were just talking about
Followed the House of Usher,
and that main actor, Roderick,
he gets the worm in him in the Star Trek movie.
I don't know if you remember.
He does?
I remember he's the captain who, like,
and remember they have, like, the worm that they put in his ear?
Yeah.
So I watched a bunch of Star Wars.
Star Trek, never really watched.
Dude, the J.J. Ambrose movies?
They're good.
Unfortunately, super fun.
Oh, okay, I've watched a couple of those movies.
They're really good.
And also we were talking about that Captain Kirk's face is Halloween mask.
Yeah.
Oh, yes, yes.
I thought you meant Chris Pine.
I thought he was hot.
No.
No, no, no.
Chris Pine?
Scary.
The original William Shatner.
But that actor from Follow the House of Us sure does a lot of stuff.
He's been acting forever.
Yeah.
I'm trying to remember his name.
I'm bummed I can't remember.
Put it in the comments down below.
What's his name?
So, the games that you played were when you were a kid.
So, you have not played any.
They've come a long time.
You haven't even played any games on Smosh Games, have you?
No, but I...
You're more in our board game.
But I would honestly love to because during COVID,
like H does these things
where he's like,
my birthday gift,
play Diablo with me.
My birthday gift,
play Age of Empires with me.
And I said,
I think on this podcast
that I played Age of Empires
with him and I loved it,
but my whole goal
was to like feed the troops
and build it up.
And then I look up
and H has like built
a fucking castle around me and about to attack me. I like to build it up. And then I look up and H has like built a fucking castle
around me and about to attack me.
I like to build the world.
I like to build and live in a world.
So if there's a game that I can play,
there's so many.
Look, the game that I always pitch to people
is Stardew Valley.
Stardew Valley.
Stardew Valley, because you can't lose.
You're just, you.
That's the other thing.
I don't give a fuck about winning or losing
like i'm competitive but when it comes to winning or losing it's too big that i'd rather just like
survive and play let me tell you the premise of stardew valley and you're gonna you're gonna
love it okay okay because i was addicted to this game okay you it starts off and you see your
grandpa and he's sick in bed because he's old and he's dying and he gives you a letter he's just like he's like hey um i want you to have this um this letter and i want you to open it up whenever
you in life feel that you've hit a dead end and you want like a change and so then it cuts to
your character it's very like pixelated it's like old school like imagine like 90s yeah yeah looking
thing and it cuts to a building in the middle of a city and you're at a cubicle and you're sitting there typing with a bunch of cubicles around you.
And then your character sits back and then opens up a drawer and finds a letter.
And you open up the letter and it turns out your grandpa gave you the rights to his farm near this town out in the middle of like the sweet town.
And he gives you his old farm that he's like,
if you want this farm, it's yours. And so then you move to this farm, and you then start off,
and it's this little tiny farm, and you've got all this land, but it's covered in weeds and stuff.
And you just start fixing up this farm, and you have the town with all the people there,
and you get to know all of them, and there's a story to every person that you meet and you you just kind of do your thing
and and you cannot die if you go out if you go out too late you pass out and you wake up at your
front porch or uh so you there's no losing in the game you just slowly kind of build up your farm
and you and you get crops and you plant them and you have to water them every day, and then you grow them, and then you sell the plants for money that you then use to build up your farm.
It's like Oregon Trail.
Yeah, but it's even sweeter.
It's like the end of – it's like if it –
It's like Oregon Trail, but you can't die.
Okay, I like that.
There's no dysentery in Stardew Valley.
I like that, but I will say it's fun to have an underlaying of something coming and consequences.
Also, I like that very much.
I think that would be really, really fun.
But I think the part of Age of Empires
was like this little underlaying of consequences.
Someone's in that fog that can come out and kill me.
Yeah, like I still kind of like that
because it like puts a fire under me.
But I think if I were to play that game, I think I'd be on it constantly.
I think there's another side of me that like.
You're afraid.
I'm afraid to get into games because I'm like, what if I lose my soul?
Like I'm just constantly playing it.
Oh, get addicted?
Because I get addicted to shows.
Some detective shows, I'll be up until four in the morning watching them.
That is a good, because I know a lot of, I mean, this might get a little, I don't know what the word is, but gender stereotype.
But everyone's always like, oh, dudes, they're came and they're like they're up with their boys playing call of duty but a lot of like women i know it's
like you know they'll play sims and they'll be doing like the most depraved shit until like like
staying up like all night i know those women that's my sister and some of my friends they're
like dude fucking i got pregnant i was underneath the blankets i was having sex i'm building all
these houses i'm like when do you sleep? They're like, never.
And I'm like, I can't.
That was my friend with Stardew Valley.
So she was like, oh, I've been playing a lot of Stardew Valley.
That's what I'm worried about.
I've been playing dozens of hours.
I was like, oh, that's crazy.
And she invited me to her farm.
Because you can visit someone's farm online.
And I visited.
And my Switch literally could not.
It was chugging.
There was so much stuff. The hardware of the Switch could not keep up
with how much shit she had built out.
See, that's what I get worried.
I think it's because the way I grew up,
as my mom was like, TV and all this
is going to rot your brain.
I get worried that I would get trapped and addicted.
Yeah, I think there's a way to moderate moderate it what's tough with games and how you
get addicted is that it's games are designed to kind of feed into your reward complex in your
brain right of like oh i'm working on this thing and i achieved this thing and i got a reward for
it and you kind of keep wanting to like do that if you find the right game that perfectly gets you
in the way that you're motivated in the way you like to achieve things, it will be bad.
I was at one point in my life
absolutely addicted to a game
to the point where it was a problem
and that was a game called World of Warcraft.
And I was 14 years old.
I think you saw the movie.
With Tom Cruise?
No, Warcraft.
What am I thinking?
Oh, War of Worlds.
Yeah, that one.
Pretty cool.
I've got it.
That's a great movie.
I did not see the movie.
So at 14, I got super addicted to World of Warcraft.
And I was acting at the time, so I was homeschooled.
And my school was online.
So I could be doing schoolwork online,
but I would just have World of Warcraft pulled up,
and I would play it for all day, every day.
And I mean, there was a year,
and you could see the amount of time you played.
Now, I would often just have it up on my computer
where I wasn't playing,
so that a lot of these hours don't count, technically,
but in the span of a year,
I had logged like three months of play time.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah.
And it was so bad that 15-year-old me that year,
it was December,
15-year-old me was like,
I have to stop.
Yeah.
I recognized it.
I was like, I have to stop.
And I uninstalled the game. I threw it out. And I was like, I have to stop. And I uninstalled the game.
I threw it out.
And I was like, I'm never playing it again.
I was like, I'm never playing it again.
Now, I've played tons of games since.
But I realized for me, I needed games that I can beat.
If I can beat the game, then I can beat it.
And I know I won't be addicted to it forever.
And I've had a much healthier relationship. then I can beat it and I, and I know it won't, I won't be addicted to it forever. Um,
and I've,
I've had a much healthier relationship.
I don't think games are like bad,
but I think people have to recognize,
and this is anything,
just if you have an unhealthy relationship with something, with something where you feel it's messing up your life in some way,
then yeah,
you have to,
you have to recognize that and do something about it.
And that could be anything.
But for me,
it was that game. And I, dude, I was so recognize that and do something about it. And that could be anything. But for me, it was that game.
And, dude, I was so addicted, man.
And I remember it.
The Glory Days, my Tauren warrior.
I was going to ask that. I was a giant, like, bull-like monster, a minotaur-type monster.
Oh, cool.
And so you would play.
It was entirely online.
And so there's tens of
thousands of people playing and you're in this big open world with tons of people playing and i chose
uh to be in the horde which is the like bad guys so i was orcs undead and i was a giant minotaur
guy but i was a warrior so i had a giant axe and um i joined a guild of like a bunch of other people.
And so me and like 40 people would join up to go
and go in dungeons and like fight giant monsters and stuff.
And you're all talking on microphones and stuff
and like you have a part to fulfill.
On Ventrilo.
Yeah, and it felt you had such an obligation.
It kind of got to a point where it was no longer fun
and like, oh shit yeah my
guild is meeting up tonight oh you didn't go
to the you didn't go to like the
the raid so you don't get the
rewards and then you never actually really
leave your house as a person it's it's
and that becomes your social circle and
that and and it's it's it
can be I do think
it can be a problem I don't think
it is inherently,
but for me it was.
And I mean, without,
maybe it was shitty,
I didn't even tell my guild,
but I think my guild fell apart.
Your guild is gonna show up like,
say shit.
But it was so much fun.
It was, but a lot of it was just this feeling of,
oh, I wanna achieve this,
and I gotta do all this stuff to achieve this. But I look at what I was actually doing in the game, and a lot of it was just this feeling of, oh, I want to achieve this, and I got to do all this stuff to achieve this.
But I look at what I was actually doing in the game,
and a lot of it's really dumb.
A lot of it I'm like,
oh, I'm hunting in this area for these gems,
and I'm just going in a circle for hours
trying to find these creatures to kill to get these gems
so I can go sell them and get money.
And then go back and get the gems.
And it would take,
in order to achieve something in that game,
I wanted to get a mount, a horse.
But for my character,
it was like a giant monster thing.
Yeah.
It took me weeks of work to get it.
Then that's,
I will say that's a good game
because they fucking got you.
You have to pay monthly.
What's your most addictive game, Spencer?
I was addicted to World of Warcraft a little bit.
It was an incredible...
So kind of everyone was,
but I was nowhere near the degree of that.
But the addictiveness of games
is something that I've thought about a lot.
And because World of Warcraft is kind of the first one
I remember a lot of my friends being addicted to.
I remember watching my friend get addicted
to Call of Duty 4 in like real time
and a lot of it i was kind of realizing was like the sound design and world of warcraft is kind of
the same way like there's a very specific sound like when you level up like that becomes nostalgic
that becomes like it becomes almost like you want to hear that sound it's it's like the slot machine
thing where like you pull it in call of duty what they did like for the first three games you know it was like you would you would join an online game
you would shoot all the people and then you would and then you would log off and you'd be like that
was crazy and starting with the fourth one that was when you would shoot somebody and it'd be like
plus 50 points and like and then like with that 50 points, it would be like,
okay, now you're closer to level two.
So it's all like that reward sound.
So it's a reward sound, so now in every Call of Duty,
there's a sound like when you shoot something
and hit something.
Like it's a very distinct tick sound
that your brain almost gets trained to enjoy.
And then there's a sound for if you get three kills in a row.
What's that, Pavlovian?
It's very Pavlovian.
And World of Warcraft is kind of one of the first ones I remember.
Makes sense.
Just like there are these sounds that get stuck in your head
and you just want to hear them because it's satisfying.
It's like a TV show opening song that you get addicted to that you're like, ooh.
There's like a little, like in Call of Duty, there's like a little guitar riff when you gain a level, and it just becomes.
And then you go back and play older games, and when you're missing that, you realize you lose a lot of that satisfaction.
That's so interesting. A lot of it, I think, really got bad
when games now have an incentive to keep you playing.
Because back when I was younger,
before World of Warcraft,
which was since it was a monthly subscription,
they wanted you to keep playing.
So they were trying to incentivize you to play
and not wanting to stop playing.
But before that, games were just kind of designed
to be like, we try to make this great game
so that people would buy it.
And once you buy it, now they don't get any more money because we only just sold you that.
But nowadays, games have so much more stuff in them to spend more money on.
They want you to buy upgrades.
They want you to keep playing, like have a subscription to it.
So they are actively trying to design it to hit that reward complex in your brain
to make you want to keep playing that next bit.
And it's not just a matter of,
oh, I'm playing that game because it's really fun.
It's-
I gotta unlock the next step.
I'm compelled to keep playing.
Like a lot of,
the two biggest ones right now,
I mean, two of the biggest
are Call of Duty and Fortnite.
And both of them, the main mode
that most people play are free.
But they'll do season passes,
which are like, it'll run for a month or two.
And if you get to, if you play during that time,
you can unlock certain things
that will never be unlockable again.
So you're like, fuck, I have to buy
the season pass right now and unlock certain things that will never be unlockable again. So you're like, fuck, I have to buy the season pass
right now and unlock these things.
And then you'll have points left over from that one.
So you're like, fuck, I might as well buy
the next season pass,
because I want the things unlockable in this.
And it just kind of becomes this vicious cycle.
So this game that's free, Fortnite's free,
and I probably spent over $100,
which isn't that much in like
compared to what a lot of people have spent
but like it's crazy cause you know
it's whenever like the first one's free and then it's like.
It's honestly brilliant.
It's genius but it's.
I will say like to me when I play those games
I'm thinking about other things.
Like I'm thinking about the group of people who are creating the guitar riff.
And, like, I'm thinking about these two guys in a studio.
Like, meow.
Like, I'm thinking about all those other things.
And I'm thinking, like, wow, this is brilliant marketing.
Wow, this gets this.
So it's like I would have to be really into a game to get immersed into it like i will say
when i played age of empires which is like such an old game but i loved like the travel aspect of it
i i like when it's like a different layout like a different frontier and but i think the spending
money is is hard i think that maybe would turn me off
because I think it's the way I grew up.
TV was very limited in my house.
We weren't allowed to watch that much TV
and money was very conscious.
We were very aware of what shit cost.
But just my mom was really intense.
We were the type of kids who would,
if we heard our car come in,
we'd turn off the TV and be like
da da da, da da da, da da da. really intense. Like we were the type of kids who would like, if we heard our car come in and we turn off the TV and be like, it's so much more complicated nowadays with so many subscriptions and just
like digital purchases all over the place.
It's so easy for your wallet to just leak nowadays.
And kids do like,
I'm sure it's preying on them sometimes too.
Well,
I'm watching my niece and nephew like ask for my mom's phone or my sister's
phone and they they're like oh my god my phone has like seven new games on it what is this yeah and i
look at them just like consistently playing their games and there's nothing wrong with that it's just
like i i also get like uh fidgety do you know what i mean like it's actually hard for me to sit and read a book
for hours because i amanda get fidgety in a seat like i would struggle sitting in a seat
for that long that's just yeah i honestly think that's really the biggest thing i i am a believer
of because i really like video games but i am a believer of kind of like, I need to set aside the time that I'm playing it.
And when I walk away, I'm not.
And I struggle with the kind of concept of just at any moment, just being able to pull out your phone and just playing a game.
And I think that can kind of mess up my brain.
I'm not going to speak for other people.
But I think it's important for me to be like okay for this next hour here's what I'm doing
but I'm not going to be going in and out
and that's when it gets bad
and that's where things like a game
or anything really can kind of start spreading
and taking over your life in a bad way
but that's my take on it
but I've fallen victim to it
Have you ever played any mobile games?
Like games on your phone? On your mobile games? Like games on your phone?
On your phone.
You got games on your phone?
I have zero games on my phone.
Have you ever had a game on your phone?
I had the snake game on my Nokia when I was 16.
Okay.
Pretty sick.
No, I'm just really intense about,
I have a time limit on Instagram. Wow. Like I'm really intense about I have a time limit on Instagram
wow
like I'm really intense about my phone
I
I don't know what it was
but I like
I get ill
like I feel
sometimes though
I'll be like
I want to go on Instagram
and I want to fucking laugh
I want to laugh at funny videos
and I'll let myself
I'll give it
and then when I get off
I'm like ugh I don't feel good.
Like I truly could not play games on my phone.
I just fucking, I don't know.
It's just like I didn't really do it as a kid.
I genuinely think because I wasn't really allowed
to have that much screen time as a kid
that it put me in this other.
See, I think mine was kind of the opposite.
Like, I played, I was not allowed to have
an in-home console, and we also didn't have cable.
Wow.
Going up.
You didn't have anything.
And I also wasn't allowed to have Pokemon cards,
and I mean, now look at me, I'm all fucked up.
Damn, you're far.
They tried and, no, they tried and I think it kind of backfired.
I had all of it as a kid,
but I kind of ended up, I feel like, in the middle.

Back to the show.
Here we go.
Before we hop in, I should just give you some context about what's about to happen.
You see, Spencer and I know a lot about video games,
but Amanda knows nothing.
So because of that, we decided to prank her
and convince her that the plot of the video game
5 Nights at Freddy's is a true story.
So, enjoy.
I don't think it's good to be so restrictive,
but for me, my obsession lies in like movies i love movies my favorite
thing is to like find a good movie i also love to re-watch my favorite classic movies i love
international series like i have an addiction to that we all have a love for movies here i think
we're the three i think i'd say of cast, us three are the most movie people.
Like,
I feel like that's fair.
I mean,
everyone loves movies,
but I think us three are like,
we watch all sorts and a ton.
A ton of movies.
Those are my addictions.
Are you gonna see
Five Nights at Freddy's?
Freddy Krueger?
No,
no.
It's this weird story
that is based on a true story.
Yeah, it's...
I know y'all did the horror thing,
but it's truly one of the most fucked up stories.
It's a true story?
So yeah, the movie is based on this true story.
So what happened was there was this guy who...
It's basically Chuck E. Cheese. And what happened was there were these kids
that pulled a prank on this other kid.
And they put his, the kid hated, it was like a birthday
party, and the kid hated animatronics.
And so they were like.
I saw the trailer for it.
Yeah, but this, I don't think they'll do this in the trailer for it yeah but this like
I don't think they'll do this
in the movie
because it's like
yeah
it's dark
I thought it was
one of the kids
of the owner of it
put the other kid in
in the suit
or like
so he
so they were pranking the kid
and they put his head
in the suit
but they were like
these like
it's called like a
it's called like a
spring lock or something yeah like a spring trap it like a, it's called like a, Springlock or something?
Yeah,
like a spring trap
or a springlock suit.
It was these,
because it was these like
kind of experimental
type of suits.
The guy who created it
like really,
I don't know,
but it ended up,
it ended up,
I think killed the kid.
It's,
so basically the jaw
like snapped on the kid's head.
Did he die?
He, he died not immediately.
They like took him to the hospital.
I think he died later.
But then he died.
But then the owner, the real story is that the owner like lost his mind.
And then the owner, and I don't know if it was proven,
but the owner ended up killing like more kids.
The owner killed kids and would like
whoa how did i miss out on this true crime story there's this guy uh his name is matthew patrick and he like has this youtube channel and and he'll like he kind of like goes into it because
he goes into he's a true crime youtuber and so he goes in on all of these types of things. And he does a full in-depth thing about Freddy Fazbear is the main mascot thing.
And I think the owner would, it was a really messed up thing.
He would wear these costumes.
That's how he lured the kids.
And he owned the place.
And I wonder, I've always wondered if it was very covered up because places like
Chuck E.
Cheese and Disney still exist,
didn't want that type of connotation.
So that's how it kind of got pushed.
This is all in the eighties.
Um,
I mean,
I think it,
the internet's also,
the internet's also built a ton of lore.
And so,
you know,
for a lot of this,
it's all just a theory,
but,
um,
it's, it really got nuts.
And I think there were more, where the internet got nuts was that they were saying that the animatronics were at a certain point doing it on their own.
Well, yeah, the internet.
You have to be really careful with internet and crime stories because they go off.
And it's funny because I was going to come back at you guys
with all my murder shows.
And we knew it.
And you guys fucking knew this one before me.
You had never heard of Freddy Fazbear.
I hadn't.
But what I was saying is like, you know,
like the murder show about the hotel, Cecile,
the Cecile Hotel.
It turns out that like all of that was just like web sleuths like their opinions so i
i sometimes i stay away from commenters but there are some people who are pretty on point like on
tiktok and youtube that you're just like holy mad pat's pretty good he's he's really yeah that's
his name but yeah so well after the bite of it's it's called like the bite of 83 like if you look He's really good. He's really good. He's really good. He's really good. He's really good. He's really good. He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good.
He's really good. He's really good. He's really good. He's really good. He would hide the bodies in there, yeah. But obviously, possession's not real.
Blah, blah, blah, that's not real.
But then the movie's like, oh, but what if those suits
were possessed, blah, blah, blah.
See, you talk about getting addicted to games.
That's what I get addicted to.
Like these stories.
Angela and I, we always trade stories,
but I will go for hours digging into
Oh, I go rabbit hole so
deep. I also go rabbit hole like
if I'm watching a movie and I see
someone that I like, an actor, I'll go on a
rabbit hole in their life. So I
get nerdy when I watch movies. I'm like
Oh yeah, that guy was with this person and he did
this other movie and that director blah blah
and my sister's like, can you
just... That's what I get ner that's what I get nerdy about
I get nerdy about
so what we're talking about
is something you would
technically nerd out about
oh you know
you know
later I'm gonna
fucking google
shocked you haven't heard about it
the bite of 83
yeah
well
I thought it was
the bite of 82
no there's the bite of 83
it's the bite of 83
yeah
no it's well known
it's super well known
yeah you would love
Matt Pat stuff
Matt Pat
great name
yeah
true crime
yeah true crime
is my geek
out
how you've missed out on
arguably the best
true crime channel
on YouTube
wow
yeah looks like
we're the experts
I don't think so
I don't think so
I wrote down
he's been on the channel a couple times.
Okay, guys.
I get it.
All right?
Fucking, I get it.
I suck ass.
It's okay.
Hey, hey.
No worries.
Matt Pat.
This was a long time ago.
This was a long time ago.
This is the 80s.
Tomorrow I'm going to come in with a Matt Pat shirt.
You're going to come back in tomorrow and you're going to know everything about Freddy
Fazbear.
Matt Pat.
Bite of 83 hat.
And what was that?
William Afton was the name of the guy?
That was the.
Yeah, William Afton.
I can't believe I missed out on that.
Sometimes I'll go on Netflix and be like, what is this about?
Night Stalker?
Hmm.
Like sometimes I'll miss out on huge ones.
But like the small random like the murder in, you know, Cork, Ireland or something.
I'm like, oh, I know everything about that.
This all happened in Utah.
Utah.
Utah, man.
Why do so many murders happen in Utah, Illinois?
There's nothing else going on out there.
It's all the damn repression.
It's true.
East Coast, too.
Utah tried to make their own Chuck E. Cheese, and this the damn repression. They tried to. It's true. East Coast too. Utah tried to have one.
Utah tried to make their own Chuck E. Cheese and this is how it went.
Oh, God.
I have thought a lot about like the, I don't know what the word is.
Almost like the concentration of horror writers that come out of like Maine and Massachusetts.
Like stuff like that.
I mean, you have like all of like the biggest like horror creators have kind of come out
of there.
It's almost like how crazy it is the amount of music that comes out of like England for
how tiny it is.
Like there's so many like English artists, English actors.
It's because they talk like this.
Yeah.
You gotta sing.
You don't want to hear them talk.
Mate, you reckon that we should sing?
Also, I feel like for now going into Irish, but I feel like for actors,
they're in England
because they take acting
on another level,
like very theater-y,
very serious.
And Ireland,
who comes out of that?
Colin Farrell.
Colin Farrell.
Just Colin Farrell.
Just Colin Farrell.
The one,
is Saoirse Ronan,
is she Irish?
Saoirse Ronan.
Saoirse Ronan.
Saoirse Ronan. But she Irish? Saoirse Ronan. Saoirse Ronan. Saoirse Ronan.
But I think there is something super pleasant about when English or Irish or Scottish actors do an American accent.
I think it almost hits different.
They do it better.
They're focusing on words in a very different way.
They have to be more intentional, and I think a lot of that pays off in a very subtle
but do you agree that they sound
a little bit more east coast
yeah
do you know what I mean like Chris Hemsworth
like
maybe that's just Australian
like a little bit more like east coasty
I don't know
maybe that's just me
yeah it's probably just you.
Anyways, pretty cool.
You ever heard Dan Stevens do his American accent?
No.
It's crazy.
I can't wait to hear it.
Yeah.
MatPat, Bite of 83, Dan Stevens.
Dan Stevens.
You're going to come in as an expert.
I have fucking homework to do, but nothing on games.
Actually, I really do.
If you were to show me three games that I could watch.
I would love to do that.
Or play, can we do that?
We could play some games on Smosh.
I mean, this is your decision, Spencer.
But we could play some games on Smosh games
where it's introducing you to a huge franchise.
So people who are into it would be like, oh my God. That's what I've always wanted to do,
and I'm sorry to throw on main, but like Kiana.
Because Kiana knows almost nothing about games.
It's so funny.
Arguably a lot of movies.
And I'm like, you are like the perfect like,
Kiana and I should.
Yeah, like person to be like, because she had never
seen like Jurassic Park.
I was like, that's insane.
That's insane. OK. It's almost like, because she had never seen Jurassic Park. I was like, that's insane.
It's like, it's almost like,
it's like, oh, have you ever heard the story of Jesus?
It's like, no.
It's like, oh, let me tell you this crazy story.
I can't handle that.
I also will say being married to someone
not from this country,
he hasn't seen a lot of the,
like we watched Good Will Hunt,
he watched Good Will Hunting for the first time with me.
And I was just like, and Hocus Pocus,
do not show someone Hocus Pocus for the first time now.
Don't.
It's not great.
Because they don't like it.
Yeah.
It was like, this movie's weird and wacky.
And I'm like, huh?
And also, Death Becomes Her, one of my favorite movies ever.
Don't show someone who's never seen it back in the day.
Because if you're, I think movies in the 80s and 90s,
they don't translate unless you've seen it before.
Unless you have that nostalgic memory to it.
Yeah.
It's tough.
And you're biased if you watched it when you were young.
Yeah.
It's hard then.
They're like, this is silly.
And you're like, what?
Yeah.
I think it does require a certain like suspension of almost like, you know, this is another can of worms, but it's like when you show someone anime,
it's like there's so many things where it's like if you watch anime, it's like, yeah,
that's like kind of par for the course.
Like where someone who doesn't watch it watching,
they're like, what the fuck is this?
Like that's weird as shit.
Like what's the part of that?
And it's like if you get hung up on those,
but there's just certain, you almost build up a tolerance.
And I think think you know
this is this is like so goofy of us for saying this but like even 80s and 90s and like even like
early 2000s movies like just like the things they're saying if you watch a movie before like
2010 you like i usually like it's like you like if you give them you give them a certain amount
of time a comedy movie from before 2010 oh there's certain words they will say it's like i give them a certain amount of time. A comedy movie from before 2010. There's certain words they will say.
It's like I give them 30 minutes before they say that word.
It's tough.
10 minutes.
Comedy's pre-2010.
You're just not going to get through it without there being something that's like, yeah, that doesn't work nowadays.
So do you think movies back in the day are the same as games back in the day?
Do games translate as cringy now?
That's actually a great question because I try to replay games
from like pre,
I mean, honestly,
sometimes it's like pre-2015
and I'm just like,
it's just hard.
It doesn't,
they've improved so much
that like,
this happened to me.
You're not gonna know
what I'm talking about,
but there's a game called Bioshock.
Oh, have you played Bioshock?
Biodome?
No.
There's a game called Bioshock. Oh, have you played Bioshock? Biodome? No. There's a game called Bioshock, and it's so popular.
People who've played this game love this game.
It's got a whole community around it.
Or Verbinski was going to make the movie.
It was going to be sick as hell.
Cool.
It's a really cool premise where, like, back in the day.
He did parts of the Caribbean and shit.
Oh, amazing.
It's a cool premise.
Basically, like, back in the day, super rich people created this utopia at the bottom of the ocean,
but then they all went fucking nuts.
It's honestly one of the coolest concepts of all time.
It's a great game to watch.
So Bioshock doesn't really translate.
So I tried to play it years after it had come out.
It came out in like 2007?
Yeah.
Around that time.
And so I tried to play it like close to a decade later.
And I beat it, but I remember just kind of being like,
all right, like cool.
There's so many games that have taken its formula
and improved on it since. It's kind of like when you watch an old
black and white movie and people are like oh
I love that movie but I'm like
yeah but it sucks now like it's
cool I get it I get
that this is where so many other ideas
came from but as far
as entertainment goes we have
made things more entertaining at least
for my modern brain
and there's certain old movies and old games that for the time you're goes, we have made things more entertaining, at least for my modern brain.
There's certain old movies and old games that, for the time, you're like, oh my god, this is
incredible.
I would say that they still translate.
They still translate.
There's definitely black and white bangers.
Casablanca is incredible.
Roman Holiday.
It's a different type of thing.
It's a different vibe.
It's a fully different,
I mean, the medium was still in its infancy,
and that's what you gotta remember with video games.
It's like, you know,
they've only been around since the 70s.
That's true.
Yeah.
Even in the 70s, it was primitive.
That was Pong, yeah.
So what game was like back in the day
still translates now that people still love it?
Okay, what games from older times
are still just as good now
and someone could pick it up just now and play?
I would argue, first off,
I think the Super Mario Brothers games are actually...
I was gonna say that.
I think those have aged,
especially when you go back
and you play the other ones from the era.
I don't know if you played any of like
Spyro the Dragon or Rayman or Donkey Kong or...
Nope.
What was the other one?
Maybe at like a friend's house, but not enough to...
Banjo Kazooie even.
Like all these games, they just do not play
as well as the Mario games.
Because you can put anyone down in front of a Mario game
and it's still like, it handles beautifully.
And that's something.
So that's basically what.
So Mario.
Mario.
I would say like Super Mario Brothers 3.
Like going old school.
Like the side scrolling ones where you're jumping on Goombas
and turtles.
I think.
Oh, we play that on the games channel.
We have next to our... In our games pod
where we work,
we have a tiny little TV screen
with a Super Nintendo
and we have those games.
Tim's been playing
Link to the Past.
He comes by and sits down
and plays that for a while.
I think that could be one game
that could introduce you.
Here, I'm gonna...
I feel like as I'm thinking
of games that... Yeah, no, I agree. I feel like... Spencer, you're not gonna be able to see. Here, I'm gonna, I feel like, as I'm thinking of games that,
I feel like,
Spencer, you're not gonna be able to see.
Yeah, you're not.
Let me get my glasses.
No, you're not chosen enough.
Shit.
Other games that could introduce you to the medium.
That's tough.
Definitely Super Mario Brothers,
I would argue.
What's your name?
I am the Chosen.
Okay, great.
Other old school games that hold up super freaking well.
Crap.
Pretty much the early works of Shigeru Miyamoto.
Yeah, definitely.
Zelda.
I would say the original Zeldas.
I would argue that Ocarina of Time hasn't aged well.
Ocarina of Time? Yeah. That's fun. Have you argue that Ocarina of Time hasn't aged well. Ocarina of Time?
Yeah.
That's fun.
Have you heard of Ocarina of Time?
I've heard that it's time
for me to go back upstairs
and leave you boys down here.
Okay, can you get us some Dunkaroos?
You know what?
It's time for me to get the pizza bagels
and bring them back down here.
Bagel bites time.
No, I haven't heard of that all-knowing one.
Have you heard of any Ashley Judd thriller movies?
Yes.
Along came a spider.
I told you that before we started.
Yeah.
And it was a trick because I don't think she's in that one.
She's in...
I definitely have seen some Ashley Judd movies and I'm just trying to...
Double Jeopardy.
Yeah.
Kiss the Girls.
Yeah, there you go.
Is Kiss the Girls a thriller?
Kiss the Girls is a thriller to the max.
What a weird name for a thriller.
To me, any romantic film is a thriller because, frankly, it's a little scary.
Yeah, well, have you seen Akira?
No.
Have you seen Paprika?
That's a spice.
Have you seen Sweet Home Alabama?
Yes, I have, actually.
Okay, well, there we go.
We've seen some stuff.
And that guy, the lead actor of that is the Home Depot voice.
Pretty cool.
See?
Those are the things I know.
Anyways, do you guys want iced tea?
Okay.
You guys want iced tea?
Where are you looking?
I was looking all over the place.
My eyes are closed.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, anytime I'm playing The Chosen,
my eyes are fully closed.
Oh my God, I feel so much better
because The Chosen is just like all-knowing.
What did you think of dudes who played video
games when you were younger?
Would you judge people for it? Nope.
I genuinely,
because my little sister played video games all
the time, I genuinely just like
thought it was another world. I was like,
man, I'll never understand
that. It was more like I got
written off like right away. It was like, you wouldn't
know. Like, what's happening right now? It was like, you wouldn't know. So when my brain went, you it was like you wouldn't know like what's happening right now it was like you wouldn't know so when my brain went you're right
I wouldn't know so I'll never do it do you know what I mean so yeah I've been bullied my whole
life um no I'm just kidding I always wanted to play but I I I'm very different now but when I
was younger I didn't want to mess up.
So I would less try to go out and experiment things
because I was like,
well, if I don't know it,
I don't want to mess up.
Whereas now, it's like,
oh, fuck it, I'll try it
because I don't care as much
about messing up.
But I think back then,
it was like,
oh, they said I could never touch it,
so I probably won't be able to.
My little sister was like,
you wouldn't get it.
Were there things,
this is kind of a bigger question,
but like were there things
you were judgmental about growing up?
Because I feel like you're so non-judgmental,
but it's like,
did you see like maybe Pokemon Kart
and you're like,
that's nerdy.
Nope.
Interesting.
Judgmental about,
I mean,
my sister loved Marilyn Manson,
but I wasn't really judgmental about that.
You're judgmental about it now. I think you wasn't really judgmental about that. You're judgmental about it now.
I think you could be more judgmental about that.
Now I am.
Honestly, I was a little bit like, what a nerd, to my little sister who was obsessed with karate.
I mean, she slept in her karate uniform.
Okay, that's insane.
She was a little bit like, Kikiya!
That's fully insane.
Get away.
But I was such a little freak when I was little.
Such a little nerd.
Because my dad gave me a video camera,
and I stopped the world to make little commercials
when I was younger.
My sister, I would make her fucking drink Folgers
and be like, Folgers in your glass.
I was a freak.
I guess you couldn't judge anyone.
I was a freaking loser freak.
Like, I, loser in a good way.
That's not that crazy.
I know, but, like, I didn't have time to be like, ugh, you're so annoying.
Like, I didn't give a shit about fashion or makeup, really, or, like, really cool clothes because I always got my sister's hand-me-downs.
I was obsessed when I got the video camera.
I think I was like six.
I was addicted to what was the next little short film
or commercial that I was gonna force my sister
to be my husband, my mom, the murderer,
the villain, the director.
She's like, I just wanna do karate.
Stop this.
She literally was like, what do I have to do?
And I'm like, okay, you are in the pyramids,
and we are finding hieroglyphics.
Go. Once I made her a mummy for hours. I'm like, okay, you are in the pyramids and we are finding hieroglyphics. Go.
Once I made her a mummy for like hours.
I was like, stay in this room.
When the camera hits you, when I do this,
the camera's on you, react.
You know what I'm gonna say here is that
I think it's kind of messed up that you had your sister
participate so much in your hobbies,
but it doesn't sound like you ever really paid attention
to her in your rooms.
It's so true.
Okay, I didn't mean for that to actually be me.
No, but it is true.
Like, I...
As the older sibling, you...
As an older sibling, I'm like, whatever.
How do you think it would make your sister feel
if you showed up and you're just like,
hey, I know everything about Pokemon now?
Do you think she'd be like, what the fuck?
I think it was more Sims.
Like, if I was like, hey...
If you went to a restaurant with her
and ordered an imperfect Simlish,
how do you think she'd react?
I don't know what the fuck that is.
Simlish is how the Sims talk.
Garbled you.
My sister would lose it.
As well as my husband.
I feel like he wasn't into Sims,
but if I sat down and been like,
hey, do you want to play Dota?
Do you want to play Diablo?
He'd be like, what?
Wait, you told me months ago
that for your husband's birthday, you promised that you'd play Diablo with him. be like, what? Wait, you told me months ago that for your husband's birthday
you promised that you'd play Diablo with him.
Yes.
Have you?
I did.
You did?
Yeah.
How was it?
It was fun.
I had a good time.
What'd you play as?
I don't fucking know.
Some creature that was like,
What was your guy?
I,
like a big dude.
Oh,
like a big barbarian dude?
And I would have to like go
and search in this cave
and pick up all the gem things.
Yeah,
you were a barbarian.
I was more into Age of Empires.
When he told me to play Age of Empires, I was like, I'm down.
Age of Empires is great because you can build up.
That was my favorite.
I'd always want to make my little town against a cliff or something like that.
Yeah, so you're protecting.
Find the right place.
Oh, there's berries here.
There's trees here.
But you played it too peacefully.
You're so right.
You need to have a more messed up mindset.
Should I show up to my sister's birthday in a full karate outfit and know Sims?
She would be so happy.
Well, Sims, this is the thing.
Knowing Sims is just knowing how to take a shower and take a dump and feed yourself.
That's all you do.
Hey, I had a Tamagotchi.
I played with that.
Okay, so you know.
Okay. Yeah, but I was tooagotchi. I played with that. Okay, so you know. Okay.
Yeah, but I was too involved.
I never wanted them to die.
Yeah.
That's the thing.
I invested too hard.
I think I would invest too hard.
I can't shut down.
Like, when I'm watching a movie,
I am fucking in.
I'm like,
I don't know how people
can just be like,
oh, yeah, he's gonna die.
Like, I'm just so invested.
So I think maybe naturally I'm protecting myself
because I think I would just get addicted and obsessed.
Sims is insanely addicting.
It is addictive.
Look, if you went to Courtney and you said,
hey, could we play Sims sometime here?
Maybe on a live stream, maybe just...
I think I know this.
Or just for fun.
And if you just said, hey, could you
teach me how to play Sims? Courtney would lose her mind.
I think I would know that. Steam would come out
like, she'd be like, what?
And then she'd...
There's a lot of people I'm gonna make happy.
Yeah, I'm trying to think if we
did a livestream or a video
where we were introducing you to a game,
I'm trying to think what would be some good ones.
One of my favorite ideas
and it would be like
try not to rage. That's
what it was internally for me.
It would be either you or
Courtney playing probably
Dark Souls, which are these really...
We already brought this up because
Damien and I said we were going to have you play this.
Maybe look. Maybe we do it.
It would be try not to rage and it would basically be like you –
so you would play, and then Damien and maybe Shane would have to watch you play
and try not to get frustrated.
Yeah, we'd have to try to keep it –
So you guys would watch me play Dark Souls,
and you guys would try not to rage at me playing Dark Souls.
That would be very fun.
While we're trying to help you, we should be actively trying to help you get through it.
And we have to stay very positive
and we cannot get upset at all.
That would be very fun.
And it would be challenging
because those games are tough
and they are so hard to tell someone how to play them
if you don't play those games.
Wait, I would absolutely fucking love that because you guys would want to
murder me.
You guys would despise me.
And I feel like I can
keep calm if I want to
but I think I would have a hard time and I can only
imagine how Damien would feel.
Because Damien's so good at those games
that he would...
Could you imagine if I played Baldur's Gate and he was just sitting
and watching? That'd be so fun.
Oh, that would actually be...
That might even be funnier.
No, but that, like...
Because I also think I'm, like, really calm,
but I think watching anyone play Dark Souls
for the first time,
just because you have, like...
You know, we've been playing those kinds of games
for, what, like, 10, 15 years?
It should be Elden Ring.
We should just put her into Elden Ring.
Yeah.
Elden Ring sounds fun.
Elden Ring.
It's the same type of game. No. Cool. I don't think there's elves in Elden Ring. We should just put her into Elden Ring. Yeah. Elden Ring sounds fun. Elden Ring. It's the same type of game.
No.
Cool.
I don't think there's elves in Elden Ring.
Elden Ring is like Dark Souls, but you're just a hero in a messed up world.
What's the log?
Okay.
That's pretty much it.
You're a hero in a messed up world.
You're not even a hero.
In those games, you kind of play as a messed up thing.
You're just a dude.
It's just some don't know i i
oh i think i surprise i surprise myself you think they're gorgeous i think i think what holds me
back is trying to do it perfectly right rather than exploring and discovering so i think that
that would be good for me yeah yeah okay well amanda plays elden ring and we try not to lose
our minds watching is a very good premise
of a thing
look
let's do it
we've pitched other things
on this show
that have become a reality
sniper chess
again
yeah
you're gonna love it
I really hope we get
to do it again
I would love to do it
yeah
yeah it was a lot of fun
I
I love
what we've been doing lately
like things on pit things on games like it's been
so fun that game wavelength you didn't you didn't play but we played it on pit and it was so fucking
great and i brought it to a party and people were obsessed with it it's really fun it's like i think
of i think of a subject and you or you guys think of a number and then i have to ask from one to ten
and then i have to ask a question,
and you have to give me an answer
based on what you think the rating is.
So say it's like,
Oh, right, right, right.
Like a nine, and I'm like soup,
and you're like broccoli cheddar,
but it has to be for you,
and I'm like does Spencer like broccoli cheddar?
Does he fucks with me?
Interesting.
It's pretty fucking rad,
although when I just explained it,
it sounded pretty lame,
but it is very cool fun.
Or we should bring Moose Master all over the place.
Dude.
More Gentleman's Moose Master.
More different themes of Moose Master.
Yep, Spencer's actively always trying to.
Bro Moose Master.
Bro Moose Master.
You know I would love.
Bro-y Moose Master.
I would love to do that.
Bro-y Moose Master or like Tea Time Moose Master.
Well that's Gentleman's.
That was kind of, yeah. Gentleman's Moose Master. Nice try. No, we already did that. Rowing Moose Master or like Tea Time Moose Master? Well, that's gentlemen's. That was kind of, yeah.
Gentlemen's Moose Master.
Nice try.
No, we already did that.
No, no, no.
That's already been done.
Like ladies.
Chosen Moose Master.
Chosen Moose Master
would be sick.
Chosen Moose Master
could be very good.
Go around and say
like a Kira Kurosawa film.
Yeah, that's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
No, and here's why.
Oh, Amanda would be screwed.
I'd be fucked. Okay, actually. Give me one That's pretty good. No, and here's why. Oh, Amanda would be screwed. I'd be fucked.
Okay, actually.
Give me one, give me one.
What?
Seven Samurai.
You'd like these movies.
Oh, I think I've seen Seven Samurai.
Speaking of going back to anime,
have you seen any Hayao Miyazaki movies?
Is that Spirited Away?
Yeah.
You know what?
My two friends are obsessed with it and their favorite movie was Spirited Away? Yeah. You know what? I my two friends are obsessed with it
and their favorite movie
was Spirited Away.
I struggled.
It made me feel ill.
I
it made me feel like
I didn't like
the pig troughs.
Oh yeah.
I struggled.
The pig trough is rough.
I
like
I saw it in fifth grade
and it really scared me.
I don't
It's scary.
I don't like
kind of
also like No there's a lot of I don't. It's scary. I don't like kind of also like.
No, there's a lot of gross.
Gross animation.
It is gross.
Ren and Stimpy.
Yeah.
That's fair.
Okay, that's fair.
And there's a lot of.
But I'd like to watch more.
A lot of the Miyazaki stuff like Princess Mononoke or Nausicaa.
They have got a lot of the.
And that's kind of what I was talking about with the anime.
There's kind of a certain allowance you give. there's a certain expectation of like you know this definitely
isn't every anime but a lot of the popular ones like akira has like a lot of the gross like body
horror where it's like the like veins will be like contorting or like kind of expanding i think i'm
getting more yeah i'm like like when no face like kind of like expands and is like swallowing up
everything like there's a lot of the really vis Like when No Face like kind of like expands and is like swallowing up everything. Like there's a lot of the really visceral, gross, like kind of undulating or like throbbing like mass of things.
It's like really, really gross.
No, Spirited Away, I think it's PG.
It's one of those PG movies where you're like, damn.
I think it mentally made me feel like the people, like the parents turning into pigs.
Oh, that scared me. Oh, it's terrifying. I think it mentally made me feel like the parents turning into pigs. Oh, that scared me.
I think it mentally made me feel like, ugh.
Like it made me feel low, but I know people love,
you know they're doing a live action Spirit of the Way.
Oh, I don't know how I feel about that.
They're doing the play.
People love, so I wanna give his movies more of a try,
because even if something grosses me out,
I still wanna see more.
Sure.
That's why I'm always kind of,
not confused,
but people are like,
Spirited Away is such a vibe,
like blah, blah, blah.
Did we watch the same movie?
It's kind of an intense watch.
Horrific.
It's horrific,
but the ending is beautiful.
Their favorite movie.
Oh, that's weird.
What?
But the ending of Spirited Away is beautiful.
It ends in a very beautiful way,
but it's very horrifying at the beginning.
And it's very symbolic. I think what's also is that that movie is very symbolic for a lot of
feelings you have as a kid and that that pig trough scene is absolutely there i think what's
yeah i think for me anime like we watched a lot of it you know remember the hans christian
anderson right original disney movies or whatever so in the day, they would make anime but put, like, English voices on them.
Do you guys remember that original Little Mermaid?
It's a little mermaid.
It's like anime with English voices on it.
It's really, really dark.
I grew up watching that.
So in a way, I was introduced to anime in that sense,
but it was really, really dark dark but it wasn't gory.
It was more fantastical. You haven't
seen that one? No. I remember like
Little Mermaid dies in the end.
Oh it's the original.
It's the Hans Christian Andersen ones.
It is funny like seeing what
I know like Courtney loves
Speed Racer and things like that.
Like the old old anime.
So it always has been prevalent,
but it's never quite...
I don't know.
Yeah.
So basically we need to mix worlds.
You guys, I gotta get into...
We gotta do a live stream of Dark Souls or Elden's Ring.
Elden Ring.
Elden Ring.
Elden Ring is a good one I think we could do.
Sims is another option.
And I feel we cannot end this stream ring elden ring elden ring is a good one i think we could do sims is another option um and and i
feel we cannot end this stream without being honest with you i think another one um uh there's
another game called five nights at freddy's um jesus where you're a security guard at a pizzeria
in utah and there are animatronics that are alive with ghosts.
That should be a game.
It is a game.
It is?
It is a game.
We should play it.
We were unfortunately lying.
It's made up.
No.
There was no bite of 83.
There was no bite of 83.
I can't end this podcast just leaving that.
Matt Pat has this show called Game Theory
where he kind of like,
because Five Nights at Freddy's is a very simple game
where you're kind of looking at security things
and the animatronics come in and they're like,
but he's pieced together the story
from all these different things.
Five Nights at Freddy's is a video game series.
So everything we told you is in the game.
You guys make me feel so bad. You guys make me feel so bad.
You guys make me feel so bad about murder.
That is my thing.
Do you know how hard it was to say all that
with a straight face?
I almost lost it.
Did you guys plan this ahead?
Yeah, we did.
We talked about this.
We were going to convince you
because we knew that we could convince you.
We knew that you were probably the one.
I mean, the bite of 83 is such a meme., like the bite of 83 is such like a meme because.
Wasn't it bite of 82?
No,
83.
Yeah.
There's also a bite of 87.
Yeah.
You guys,
I fully believed it.
I was like,
wow.
That's the,
that's how intense the lore of this video game series is.
And it gets so fucking stupid.
We could literally do an entire podcast of just explaining the rest of the lore to you.
Cause it gets so,
it's like, oh, he killed them. then they possessed them, then brought him back,
and then he got in this other suit,
and that suit collapsed on him,
and then through sheer will, he stayed alive
in that suit for 20 years, sustained by hatred,
and then he was harvesting the, yeah.
I was like, how did I not know about this man
who kills children and puts them in the animatronics?
The setup of it, I think, is really cool.
The setup of this guy and how he loses his mind and kills children, I think, is well done.
Five Nights at Freddy's does have a lot of cool lore.
It does get insane.
Let me say the other cool part is at one point, so the main guy, the guy who killed those kids, his son kind of wants to figure out what his dad was doing.
So at one point, he finds his underground lair and stuff.
And then he winds up getting scooped,
which is this machine that basically scoops out his organs and his bones.
And then it puts one of the machines inside of his body.
So instead of the person being inside of the animatronic,
the animatronic's inside of him.
But then all of his flesh
and stuff starts rotting
so he smells really bad.
And that's why he becomes
the purple man
because he's like this
gross rotting.
It's a crazy,
so it's a horror video game series.
Scoop.
And the way that you play
the first video game,
and I'm wondering
if it's a good one
for us to play sometime.
It's fucking, how do you do with jump scares?
Yeah, so you're a security guard.
I get really scared but I love it.
You're a security guard and the game is you looking
at all the security footage of this,
you're staying the night at this pizzeria
but the animatronics are alive and stuff.
So you have to try to like not let them get past you
and sneak up on you and you're trying to like.
Wait, I wanna play, I want to play.
I love that shit.
All right, maybe.
We're going to figure out what game we're going to introduce you to.
But it's We Lied and I'm Sorry.
You fuckers.
I wasn't sure we were going to get away with it. In the fight of 83, I was like...
But for a moment there...
Matt Pat's real.
Matt Pat's a real YouTuber guy but he does video game
I hate you guys so much I believed it's
so hard so anyways for a moment there
Amanda you believed the plot of five
nights at Freddy's was a real story and
that's a cool experience I feel betrayed
I also feel like I wasn't a good murderer
person you know you I do not know true
crime you know that if you don't know it that it doesn't exist I was like I also feel like I wasn't a good murderer person. You know, I do not know true crime.
You know that if you don't know it,
that it doesn't exist.
That's the thing.
I was like, Shane knows nothing really about true crime.
Every time I bring up true crime, he's like, huh?
And I'm like, dude, where are you?
Charles Manson?
The Manson girls?
I feel bad.
It was very funny.
If you are allowed to get back at me in any way,
it was some sort of prank.
Okay.
I,
I deserve it now.
Tommy Lee Jones is going to come at your desk.
What?
Tommy Lee Jones is going to come on my desk?
I said,
I was going to say that,
but I was like,
where did that come from?
All right.
I said,
come at your desk.
You look that way.
What does that mean?
You know what? Nothing. Okay. Spencer, thank you for being here. Thanks Spencer come at your desk. You look that way. What does that mean? You know what? Nothing.
Okay.
Spencer, thank you for being here.
Thanks, Spencer.
That was awesome.
Did you have fun?
I had a blast.
Yeah, this was really cool.
Amanda, we're gonna start introducing you to some games.
So pay attention to that.
On Smosh Games, we'll probably do it at some point.
Yeah, I would love to.
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's go.
I'm about to nerd out, bitch.
Thank you for watching.
Let us know.
What games do you want Amanda to play?
Yeah, what games should Amanda play?
Let us know in the comments down below.
All right.
All right.
See you later.
Bye.
Bye.
Oh, man.
I'm so sorry.
So the movie is based on the video game?
Yes.
Fuck.
