Oh... I was gonna make an intro but-
- Do you remember this? - Yeah!
I was gonna make an intro, but I was so distracted by that.
Dude, I've been playing so much piano in these videos.
It's all coming back to me.
Finger exercises!
But today, the exercise is about
whether of not I can guess what Eddy is playing.
That's right. The usual rules:
The theme today is video game music.
Rules are I'm gonna listen to a piece of music
in these earphones so Brett can't hear.
And I have to use my realtime perfect pitch analysis.
And then play it using my realtime piano skills.
And the Brett has to guess them.
Brett's a purebred classical musician,
but he's also a little bit of a gamer.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
I feel like half these games
I don't even need to listen with my perfect pitch.
- I can just- - Oh, so who's the gamer now?!
Whoa...!
Wow, um...
It's so difficult!
What is it called?
Smash Bros!
That's right.
Epic game.
Guys, if you don't play Smash Bros...
...it's all right.
- You should be practicing. - Yeah.
In a different timeline, I...
- if I have a break, I play Smash Bros. Yeah. - Yeah.
- In a different universe. - Yeah, in a different univ-
- Not in this universe, we're busy practicing. - Nah- no, no.
Yeah, we're always practicing.
All right, let me- I need to...
I forgot how it goes.
Whoa.
Do I know this game?
- I must, I must. - Eddy: Yeah.
- Halo? - Nah.
- Runescape? - Nah.
- Age of Empires? - Yeah.
- Oh yeah! Okay. - That's an old school one...
- from like 15 years ago, 20. - Wow, it's like...
That game came out in like, 1999, I think.
You get it in a cereal box.
- Yeah. - There's like a free-
And I remember the CD was like a golden... CD.
- Half of you guys weren't even born! - Eddy: Yeah!
It was the OG game.
It's like build an empire for like 40 hours
- just to get killed in 1 second. - Brett: Yeah!
- Mario Kart! - Yeah.
Yay!!
- That was fast! - Yeah.
MARIO KART!! WOO!!
WEE!!
Dude.
- So much trauma from falling off. - Mario Kart.
- Oh dude, you're nailing it. 3 out of 3. - Yeah, that's right!
I came from the alternate universe, guys.
Minecraft?
Fort... Fortnite?
Assassin's Creed?
Need for Speed?
Oh, it sounds pretty like...
Genshin Impact?
Nah.
Tomb Raider?
Nah.
I don't know.
It's World of Warcraft.
Oh...
I don't know. It sounds pretty epic.
- It sounded like... - That's what I thought!
- I was like, you're going on some adventure or something. - Yeah.
I've never played it.
I mean, I never played any games.
- Even in my parallel universe, I've never played this. - Yeah.
I just heard if you play this game,
you're really addicted, and...
- Yeah, you'll be playing 40 hours a day. - ...you're... Yeah.
But you said some interesting names.
You made me remember different games now.
I was just going through my memory bank in the alternate universe.
I'm kidding. Someone just downloaded that memory in me.
- Yeah. - It dosen't exist.
What's this?
Oh!
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Oh wow!
Okay, I'm joking. I'm not that happy.
- Dude, I forgot about this game! - Yeah, that dopamine spike was not meant to be there.
- Yeah, yeah, I never played this. - Yeah, and I don't...
- I definitely have not spent hours wasted on this game. - Brett: Yeah, yes.
Magic Wall!
Sounds like an MMRPG game.
Maple Story?
Oh, nah, but I forgot about that.
- Genshin Impact? - Nah.
I don't know.
Final Fantasy?
Nah.
I just realised how Asian it sounds.
- Brett: Yeah. - Because it's all pentatonic.
But it's actually Minecraft.
- Yeah! Yeah, it's Minecraft. - Oh, of course!
I remember now!
- The beginning! - Yeah. Yeah...!
- Oh yeah! The beginning... - The harp song.
when you're just like in this green field.
- What am I doing? - Yeah.
Pokémon?
I know this!
Mario?
- Yeah! - Mario, yeah.
Do you remember what it's from though?
Is it like the game...
and when you finish...
- No, it's Underwater... - The end.
- ...when you're swimming. - Brett: Oh!
What?
Oh! Oh!
Ah!
Pokémon GO!
Yeah! You got it! You got it!
Yeah, Pokémon GO.
Oh wow!
I don't think I would've gotten that.
Dude, I remember it so well!
- Dude... - Duh-duh...
- Yeah, Pokémon Go. - Yeah...!
When it first came out in the alternate universe,
I was also working at the Sydney Symphony [Orchestra].
So in Opera House.
- And I was visiting Brett. - You were visiting. Eddy was visiting.
We were just having dinner.
And just everyone sitting in front of Opera House.
Like, there was...
There was like thousands of people outside just...
- ...camping there. - That was the weirdest time, man.
Yeah, that blew our minds.
Remember we were just thinking the world has changed.
But then it became like, COVID,
which was so different from today!
Because today is like, there's no one outside.
Back then...
everyone was outside standing with their phone.
It was packed!
And then you see like a crowd run.
I'm like, "Oh, Eddy, here's my phone."
"Let's go, take it."
- Yeah... one of us would go and catch a Pokémon. - You just like, get "rare Pokémon."
- Because we were like sitting at a dinner table or something. - Yeah, yeah.
And then... just across the harbour, you see like...
hundreds of people running.
You're like, "Oh, this must be like a..."
"Blastoise or something."
Or it's a Lapras.
Lapras. Yeah, Lapras was- Yeah.
- I think it was a water Pokémon 'cause it's near the water!. - Yeah...!
Wii...!
No?
Wait, it's not Wii?
- Wii is a console. - Yeah, that's true.
What's the game?
Wii Tennis!
Wii Fit?
No, Wii Tennis?
Ugh! Almost!
Argh! Wii, Wii...
It's Wii!
Wii Fit!
No, it's...
You got the right idea, but it's not the name of the game.
Mario Kart?
- No! - Wii Mario?
Wii Sports?
- Yeah! - Wii Sports.
It's amazing how just that one line, you know immediately.
I didn't even play Wii Sports that much.
- But you know it, right? - But you know, right?
But I think-
Wii was the console I ever got.
- Really? - Yeah, my parents never let me get consoles.
But I convinced my parents that
Wii Sports is really good for your health.
I had a lot of fun with this one.
- It was like a trip down memory lane. - Yeah.
All right, guys.
Did you play along? Did you guess the games?
Do you play the games?
The real game is actually...
- learning Paganini and learning your instruments, so... - Mm-hmm!
That's it for today!
