- Honestly, I'm just glad we don't have to play
this for an actual fort nite.
'Cause I'm getting my ass kicked.
(guitar music)
^This week, we're going to be playing Fortnite.
Every night, for at least two hours.
To see if we could achieve what our personal goal is.
I used to be really into video games.
My first job as a teenager, was at a video game store.
But, these days I just don't have a lot of time.
It's not a huge focus for me.
^- I have never played Fortnite.
Which I'm very enthusiastic about.
It seems like a lot of fun.
High difficulty game, that is my bread and butter.
^- I'm a huge PUBG fan,
so I'm not sure if I'm gonna like Fortnite.
- My goal this week is to get a solo victory.
^A secondary goal of mine is to get
^a squad win with my roommates.
So I was the first one in my house to download Fortnite.
And, I introduced it to my roommate.
And then we played for like a week.
But then, he introduced it to our other roommate.
And now, they play constantly.
I brought Fortnite into their lives,
and now it's a big bonding thing for them.
And, I'm on the outside looking in.
Part of my goal here is to earn back their respect.
And become of the team, the family,
the little home we've built together.
- There's an item that you can pick up in the game,
that turns you into a bush.
^I want to see if I can beat the game as a bush.
^- My goal is to win.
I would like to it in under ten games.
- I'm just ready to see what Fortnite's about.
^- I'm going to get my ass kicked for sure.
- I know I set a tall goal for myself,
when I set my goal to win as a bush,
because that's also a condition that I have to win.
Dropping in, this is crazy, I don't know where to go.
- What do I do?
- Ugh, my friends are telling me I'm gonna die.
I should just drop somewhere.
- I have spent the last day or so,
reading up on some strategies.
Reading up about building.
I was talking to my little brother.
Hopefully, that'll give me a bit of a leg up.
^- No. (game shooting)
^That could have gone better.
- I just finished my first game.
It's fun, it's kinda fast paced. More fast paced than PUBG.
I didn't realize that you get paired
with another person automatically.
Even if you're playing singles.
(lively music)
- [offscreen] Where's Zack, that's what I want to know.
- So I knocked down two people, team placed 12.
Definitely need a little bit of practice.
Thinking it's gonna take a little bit
more than a dozen games to win.
- I feel like I came up with some strategies
that are pretty simple, but kind of effective.
Like, just hiding and letting the better players
sort it out and kill each other off.
So that there's fewer people left to kill me.
We'll see what day two brings.
^- I'm' gonna start a game of Fortnite on this iPhone.
Look there's a bush, but its not a person.
It's always sad when it says you eliminated yourself.
That means you messed up, yourself.
- My goal for tonight, is to sneak my way
to a top ten finish solo.
- I'm gonna be playing with my boyfriend. Say hi, Ron.
So we're gonna squad up. I just got a gold gun.
And its a mini gun, its time to do some damage!
Immediately, after I got the golden mini gun
our internet crashed.
The Fortnite gods don't want us to win.
- Got a kill, made down in top 25.
Got a bush, have a great weapon.
Got ambushed and I'm bleep.
Hoping for a win by the weekend.
- Y'all my friend just helped me get a bush.
Look at all my bush, oh!
I didn't know that of you got hit as a bush,
that your bush disappears.
- I didn't do great last night.
I didn't even worst tonight.
But that just means, only one way to go, up.
I suck at this game.
- My whole team died and one of my teammates
picked up my bush.
Its a miracle, I hope he wins for us all.
No, there's another guy. Oh yeah there he is-
No, the bush is gone! The bush!
- Unfortunately there hasn't been a time yet where both
of my roommates and I have all been home at the same time
long enough to really like squad up and play.
I'm hoping to do that soon because
I'm sucking so bad on my own.
^We're top five.
Oh no, bleep, I didn't-
Oh no, no, I killed myself!
(shouting)
I killed myself and finished second.
- This close, I was this close.
I choked, third place.
- Alright, I need a morality boost.
I'm gonna get myself a new outfit.
^- Still kind of like 50/50 on Fortnite and PUBG.
I haven't decided which one I liked better.
We'll see what I like at the end of the week.
- Okay so, I woke up today with a good feeling about this.
I'm in the top two, its just me and that guy, holy shit.
I gotta go in, my heart is racing right now.
I'm under him and he doesn't know it.
He doesn't know where I am, No!
I am devastated, I am like legit shaking.
My adrenaline was so high,
it does mean that I'm making progress.
Which is very important.
- The learning curve was a lot bigger than
I expected it to be.
And I was starting to be afraid that I was not going to win.
I mean the final one on one was literally just building-
like, I'd start shooting and then
just like spam builds around.
Like, you build walls and you just like build up, up, up, up
^I bleep won, I bleep won,
I'm shaking. I'm actually shaking, Whoo-hoo!
Finally, getting that kill was so satisfying.
- Y'all, I got a bush, its go time.
Its time to win this game now.
We were among the last three teams left.
I equipped my bush so I could remain inconspicuous.
Storm came in and knocked it off of me, again.
And I was pissed.
Literally two seconds later, our team won!
We won, but I didn't win as a bush.
But our team won!
I count it as a win, because I won.
- I was starting to get nervous,
because the week was almost over.
And I had still done overall very shitty.
But, then day seven came around.
Little bit later, my roommates are coming home
and I'm finally going to be able to squad up with them.
Where is he?
We got that win!
I kind of figured if I got that squad win
I would die early, and then just watch them win,
and then I would still totally count that
as a win for myself.
But then, I was alive I survived the whole time.
That moment made this process worth it.
Like, I totally understand why like groups of friends
do that all the time to have those moments.
- I wanted to play Fortnite to see how
it compared to PUBG.
Comparatively, I think I might be switching over to Fortnite
Just because its a little quicker pace.
- That game is definitely worth playing.
I was a little hesitant, and I don't know why.
But, I enjoyed it a lot.
- Will I ever play Fortnite again?
Yeah, I will.
Honestly, I'm probably gonna play later today.
- [Stacey] I didn't win as a bush, but it was like
two seconds away from that, literally, two seconds.
The disappointment, you can imagine.
