[BURNIE]: A great excuse for playing video games
are that they improve your hand-eye coordination.
That's the excuse that I used to use when I was growing up.
And a popular game, like Fruit Ninja here, proves that.
But if that theory is really true, then
playing this game on a mobile device, well --
that should more than prepare a person to have
fruit lobbed at their head at a high velocity
while they try to cut it down with a samurai sword ---
-- right?
[IMMERSION THEME PLAYS]
[BURNIE]: So, we've come out to our official Rooster Teeth outdoor dojo to find out if two idiots have what it takes
to become real life video game ninjas.
[GAVIN]: Thanks for flying us all the way to Asia.
[BURNIE]: (laughs) Well, don't thank me.
Thank our sponsor, Audible.com
So, how are your ninja skills?
[GAVIN]: Black belt!
[MICHAEL]: Really?
[GAVIN]: Yep.
[BURNIE]: So, where did you get your black belt, Gavin?
[GAVIN]: Found it over there on the floor.
[BURNIE]: Really? So, you said -- "I found something in the field, I might as well tie it to my head."
How about you, Michael? Any martial arts experience?
[MICHAEL]: Did you see that?
[BURNIE]: I did. I did.
Alright, well I figured that you guys did not have
any martial arts experience.
That's why I decided to bring out our resident ninja
and lead animator: Mr. Monty Oum!
[SMOKE PUFFS]
[MONTY]: Good morning, disciples.
As Rooster Teeth's resident Asian --
I am fully qualified to teach you in the art of Fruit Self Defense.
Lesson one is stealth.
Let the training begin!
[ANOTHER POOF OF SMOKE]
[MICHAEL]: (coughing)
[GAVIN & MICHAEL]: (coughing)
[GAVIN]: Were we supposed to disappear then?
[BURNIE]: No, just look -- he's right over there.
Just go over there.
[BURNIE]: Okay, Gus. How we doing this?
[GUS]: Alright, so we set up special stages for Michael and Gavin to show off their
super ninja skills.
[BURNIE]: So, what? They're just going to be standing there while fruit pops up in front of them?
That sounds pretty easy.
[GUS]: It does sound pretty easy.
That's why we brought this giant sling shot to fire the fruit
very, very rapidly.
[BURNIE]: So, we're going to be shooting fruit directly at them just like in a real world fruit attack scenario?
[GUS]: I'm telling you, that's not a thing.
[BURNIE]: It doesn't matter.
Here's the way that this is going to work:
every time Michael or Gavin hits a piece of fruit,
they get one point.
If they hit the special piece of fruit, which is a frozen piece of fruit,
they give five points.
The person with the most points after three rounds wins science for the episode.
[GUS]: Man, I really hope they learn something from Monty.
[BURNIE]: I hope so, too.
[TRAINING MONTAGE.]
[GAVIN]: (screaming)
[BURNIE]: Alright, well it looks like Gavin is in position.
Let's start this off.
In three,
Two,
One,
Begin!
[GAVIN]: Jesus.
[GUS]: You'd think his experience with cricket would make him a lot better.
[BURNIE]: Oh, there's a solid hit.
[GUS]: Oooh, that's nice!
[BURNIE]: He's showing his sliver of atheleticism.
[GUS]: That's what I was expecting from the sliver of arms.
[BURNIE]: (laughs)
[GAVIN]: Fuckin hell!
[BURNIE & GUS]: OOOOOH.
[BURNIE]: Alright, that will do for round one for Gav.
[GUS]: Oh, looks like Michael's up now.
[MICHAEL]: OH, SHIT!
[BURNIE]: There goes his helmet!
[GUS]: That's penalty.
Safety first.
[MICHAEL]: Woah, fuck!
[GUS]: Looks like he's going for a blender type maneuver.
Good one!
[BURNIE]: Nice!
[GUS]: Wow!
[BURNIE]: I feel like we should be making notes -- some kind of data of some kind.
Okay -- for round two, they're going to face double the amount of scientists.
[GUS]: Very impressive number of misses there.
[BURNIE]: Very impressive.
[GUS]: Oh, that was a nice one!
[BURNIE]: That was a great one.
[GUS]: Another good one! He's on a fucking roll.
[BURNIE]: Alright, well he's given up the sword --
he's going for the nunchucks.
[BURNIE & GUS]: (laughing)
[GUS]: If he-- (laughing)
[BURNIE]: Alright, now he's back to the sword.
And here's the frozen fruit.
[GAVIN]: (strained noises)
[BURNIE]: (laughing)
[GUS]: He's getting hit by more than he's actually hitting.
[GUS]: Wow!
[BURNIE]: (still laughing)
[GUS]: Ouch!
[BURNIE]: Alright!
That's enough.
Let's get Michael in there. C'mon!
[GUS & BURNIE]: Ohh, right in the face!
[GUS]: Good one!
[MICHAEL]: Aw, shit!
[BURNIE]: Aww, his helmet came off!
And now he's using it as a weapon.
Scientists, aim higher.
[GUS]: Dropped the sword, going for the nunchucks.
[BURNIE]: Oh, nice!
[GUS]: OOH, was that in the dick!?
[BURNIE]: One of our scientists is getting a raise.
[GUS]: He does not have the form of Bruce Lee.
[MICHAEL]: (yelling)
[BURNIE]: Alright! Oh, and he caught a banana.
That's not any points, but congratulations.
Good job!
Alright, for round three we want to see some real fruit carnage.
So, Gus.
Let's call in the reserve scientists.
[GUS]: --- No!
[BURNIE]: Yes! Let's empty out the labs.
[GUS]: We've never used them before! They're untested.
[BURNIE]: Well, we've -- never had enough lab coats before.
Amazon had a sale.
[GUS]: Oh, cool.
[SCIENTISTS]: FOR SCIENCE!!
[GAVIN]: ( SCREAMING)
[GAVIN]: ( CONTINUED SCREAMING. )
[GAVIN]: (noises)
[GAVIN]: My nob!
[GAVIN]: (continued screaming)
[GAVIN]: (screaming)
[GUS]: PEOPLE LIKE GRAPES, GAVIN!
[BURNIE]: Alright, let's bring in Michael for the final round.
[MICHAEL]: Holy, shit!
OH, FUCK, STOP --
[BURNIE]: Alright well, today I think we learned a lot about fruit management and--
[GAVIN]: We didn't learn anything!
[BURNIE]: What are you talking about!?
[GAVIN]: --- less scientific every week! This is how this one happened:
Let's --- Let's throw fruit at Michael and Gavin.
What game is that?
Like, Fruit Ninja? Yeah, alright.
[GUS]: To the -- man, it may appear that way.
[BURNIE]: Yeah, it would. Yeah.
[GAVIN]: Bollocks.
[BURNIE]: At least you had training from Monty! Did the training help?
[GAVIN]: Useless!
No help at all!
[BURNIE]: If you were going to battle with real fruit, would you take the katanas or would you take the nunchucks?
[GAVIN]: I'd take the fruit!
Deadly!
[BURNIE]: Well, I got to say -- if we scored this based on how much you guys hit fruit with your body,
your scores would be a lot higher.
But just based on scoring with the weapons,
this week's challenge goes to Michael.
You are the winner of science.
Alright, well! Tune in next time on Immersion -- uh, where we'll
move our way up to vegetables.
I guess.
[GUS]: We get some broccoli.
