Geoff: I don't know if it looks, if you can tell
But I'm exhausted.
Griffon: You do look tired.
Geoff: I'm tired and bloodshot.
Griffon: You look pale too.
Geoff: Yeah...
Started playing 1942, and I caught myself, I fell asleep three times while playing
I woke up in the middle of a boss fight
on the third level, and don't know how I got there.
(Griffon laughs)
The Pray was horrible, despite what anyone says.
Castle Crashers, I did not like, going into this contest;
and I played it the other night, and had an absolutely amazing time.
Space Chimps, is um...(sighs)...
a torturous...
that's a...
the developers were sadistic.
you should not make a kid's game that unforgiving.
And it starring the vocal stylings of Puddy from Seinfeld and Gilbert Gottfried,
and somehow
they made that to be an incredibly difficult game.
FIFA '07, I played for like...I don't know...
for too long and I got zero achievements--
that was embarrassing.
um, NFL Head Coach, which was not a hard game, but, um
but incredibly buggy,
and I had to play the same game three times
to get an achievement to unlock.
I thought it made sense to play, uh
NFL Tour, NFL Head Coach, and Madden all together
all at once. Just get all the football games out all at once, while I'm in the football zone.
By the time I got to Madden, which is a game I actually like,
I was 10 hours into the day.
I already hated football.
So I had no fun playing Madden.
NFL Head Coach has a 125-point achievement for winning 100 games,
But it gets escalatingly difficult as you go
because your team runs out of money, and it becomes that much harder to keep your key players,
and the more successful you are, the more money they want--
so you can't. And I've probably put an additional like three hours
into that game to get to like 82 wins, and I finally just had to throw in the towel.
Most like teenage and 20-something dudes will say,
like, "I wish I had the opportunity just to play games all day long."
Just take a Saturday.
--especially married guys, or people who have obligations--
That sounds fun, but the reality of getting up, and starting, at say like 9 am
and sitting and planting yourself in front of the television
until 3 am or 4 am
takes every ounce of fun out of video games.
Griffon: I can tell you, it was really sexy for me to watch.
Geoff: I'm sure. I got pastier and slouchier and fatter
My highlight of my day, everyday, was taking a shower.
It was a big deal.
Griffon: It was the highlight of my day too.
I, uh, thanks
The joke Burnie played on me, was that uh, the day
the contest started
he posted my gamertag on the front page and
recommended everyone that has a gamertag uh,
wish me good luck.
I got, like, two, two or three thousand messages the first day--
--and every second, um, a message would pop up,
and it got so bad that I couldn't get into my dashboard at all
because I could never time it right
to get in, so it actually hurt me pretty badly.
Griffon: Have you replied to any of the messages yet?
Yeah, I replied to one.
I just happened to click on his on accident when I was trying to get to the dashboard
And he said, "hey man, I just wanted to let you know that Burnie can go suck a dick."
And I was like, "yeahhh. Burnie can go suck a dick!"
So I responded to him and said thanks.
Burnie also came over yesterday, just to--to film me and say hi,
and while he was here, he managed to hide three magnetic noisemakers around the house
which sounded like crickets chirping or like an alarm going off.
Uh, you guys put up a poll if people wanted me wanted me to finish Left 4 Dead or, they wanted me to finish Left 4 Dead
Alright, "Dead Giveaway," 10 points.
Alright, I just got an achievement called "Hunter Punter."
If I open, if I open the door, I get an achievement.
Alright, 10 points
Oh! I just got one. "My Bodyguard," what was that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm five points away.
I have five points to go.
Griffon: Awesome.
Geoff: That's it!
10, 000 points in four and a half days.
And so to celebrate, I got some 11 dollar Trocadero champagne--
'cause I'm keeping it site-centric
so here we go.
(champagne cork pops)
Tastes like victory.
(Griffon laughs)
