(playful music)
(speaks in foreign language)
- I play video games about as much as Link speaks Spanish.
And even though I'm not a big gamer, I still know
all the popular ones, like Mario Brothers, Zelda,
and that weird boxy game, where you go
mining and do the crafty stuff.
- Minecraft.
- No, it's a different one.
- Oh.
- But there are tons of indie games out there that
even the most gamey of gamers have probably never heard of,
and today I'm gonna test Link's
knowledge on indie video games.
It's time for Guess That Indie Game
or Bring Your Family Great Shame.
- Is my family here?
- No, but I'm gonna tell them how well you do.
- Or not do.
And they're gonna be ashamed?
- Yeah, and there's a special prize if you
get three out of five of these right.
You can take it home and share it with your family.
- I can?
They all get a piece of it.
- Exactly, question number one:
- It's like a rotisserie chicken.
(laughter)
- Well, you'll see.
In the brand new indie game set to release this year,
Super Meat Boy Forever, you play as the character
Meat Boy, who is married to Bandage Girl,
and the two of you have a child named Nugget.
Nugget has been kidnapped and your objective is
to get him back from the person responsible,
the evil Doctor Fetus.
- Ew.
Real or fake, Link?
Is this a real game?
- It's very intricate,
- Or not?
- I don't think he would work
this hard to make something up.
Too many details.
- Really, man, we're always working hard!
- Meat and bandages don't go together.
But in the world of random, I think
that this is a legit game.
- You're right, Link, Super Meat Boy Forever is real!
There he is, we don't know exactly how it's gonna be
because it has yet to be released,
but that's Super Meat Boy Forever.
- [Link] What's wrong with his eye?
- [Rhett] I don't know, he got beat up a little bit.
- [Link] What's wrong with his tooth?
- [Rhett] Maybe by Doctor Fetus or
whatever his name was? - What's wrong with his thumb?
- I really hope this doesn't step on my game
that I'm coming out with, Super Meat Boy Occasionally.
(laughter)
- Oh.
(laughter intensifies)
- The next game taps into one of the greatest universal
human fears of all time, Don't (bleep) Your Pants!
Released online in 2009, it's a survival horror game
that takes place in a single room and features
a balding man standing beside a closed door in pajamas.
The objective is to use text commands to prevent the man
from defecating in his pants, real or fake?
(laughter)
- Why's he gotta be balding?
- That's just what the game developers decided.
- Is it.
And he's presented with scary things coming out of a door?
- You're trying to help him not (bleep) his pants.
That's all I can say.
I haven't played it.
- It's kinda like the board game Don't Break The Ice,
but it's in your pants.
- Yes.
- So this is also real.
- You're right, Link, it is real!
You're a natural, man!
- [Rhett] There he is, there's the man!
- [Link] Balding.
- [Rhett] Yep, balding and holding it in.
- [Link] You farted lightly. Relief!
- Yeah, exactly, see, there's all kinds of things
you could be doing.
Now, in related news, Nintendo recently announced
the upcoming release of Mario Shart.
(laughter)
- Mario Shart.
- Yeah, Mario Shart.
- He's still in a cart, but you need to do some cleaning.
- Do you hate people?
- Yes.
- Then this game is for you!
- Thank you.
Get Outta Here With That Rotten Foot
is a 2015 indie game all about avoiding people.
You are Arnold, a husband, father, and office worker
who happens to have a gross, rotting foot.
You must complete everyday tasks, like
making breakfast, doing paperwork, and taking out the trash,
but you have to avoid all human contact.
The closer you get to humans, the more points you lose,
because no one wants to smell your gross, rotting foot.
- So let me get this straight, he's got a rotting foot?
- Yeah, yeah, Arnold, Get Outta Here With That
- [together] Rotten Foot!
Is the name of the game?
- Yeah.
- Very catchy.
But not a game.
Not real.
- You don't think it's real? - No, I don't
- You don't thing it's real? - I wish it was, but it's not.
- You're right, Link, that's three, you've already won!
- Get outta here!
- You're going for the sweep now!
- With that rotten fake game!
- Yeah, it's not a game, but it is a Netflix documentary.
(laughter)
It's in the documentaries about rotting feet section.
- Big, big section. - You gotta scroll,
you gotta scroll quite a ways.
- I'm always recommended those.
- If you love soup and also hate soup,
- Yes. - this is your game.
Something Something Soup Something
is an indie game released online last year.
It's set in the year 2078 when humans have
perfected teleportation technology
and are using it for the exploitation
of aliens to make them cheap goods.
The machine teleports bowls of food made by aliens
and you have one important choice to make.
Is this soup or is this not soup?
And, Link, you have one choice to make,
is this real or is this not real?
- Sounds like a game we would play on here.
(laughs)
- Yeah.
- Something Something Soup Something Something
is a great title.
(laughter)
(sighs)
- It's real, I can feel the realness.
- You're right, Link, four for four!
- Yeah, I know how these indie gamers think.
They're all desperate.
- You think that's soup?
- For players.
- [Link] Not soup.
- [Rhett] I don't know, I don't know the rules.
- [Link] There's batteries in it
and a foamy looking orange wedge and batteries.
- In 2078, I'll be 100.
If we're still making this show,
that's when we'll debut Something Something Soup Something
is it soup or not?
So if the show's still around, we'll do that.
And copyright won't even matter,
because they won't even remember.
- It'll be so far in the future.
- Link you're four for four.
- I know this.
- You get this one right, I'm gonna give you
the prize and I'm gonna give you a pat on the back.
- And your family will be shamed.
- This next one's for the boys.
Homeboy Roy and Roy's Boys Two.
It's Straight Up Bro Time.
- Homeboy Roy and Roy's Boys Two.
- [together] It's Straight Up Bro Time.
- Was released in the app store in 2014.
You're Roy, a break dancing social reject
at Central Union High School.
Your goal is to recruit members into your squad
and compete in dance offs against rival groups.
If you can beat the reigning champions,
The Thigh High Thugs, a trio made up
of literal thigh high socks,
you'll achieve popularity and the adoration of
high school sweetheart, Danielle.
Real or fake?
- Danielle.
- You blew it when you threw Danielle in there.
- Really?
- Yep.
Definitely fake.
- Definitely?
- Definitely.
- Link you got the queen!
- I got the queen, y'all!
- You got the queen sweep!
- Bring me the queen!
- We call this the queen sweep,
when Link sweeps it, it's the queen sweep.
- What's up with that?
You say something wrong, then you turn it into,
you can't live with me winning in a clean sweep.
- Congratulations, Super Meat Boy.
- Okay.
(laughter)
- You can take that home to your family!
It's fresh!
- Okay.
(laugher)
- Everybody gets a piece, just like you said.
- I finally get every single question right
in a game, and I get a steak.
- Well, we didn't think you were gonna win.
That was my lunch, it was just over there,
but now I had to think fast.
- I know, family I'm coming home, aren't you proud?
- He's got a steak.
