This is going to be the biggest scrubyards
ever. See, normally we build a PC, but
this time we build a PC and we transform
a completely empty room into an epic
gaming movie watching paradise. Our budget $1,400.
>> That's going to be easy. That's a lot of money. Well, it sounds like a lot of
money until you realize that our judges will be evaluating more than just how
many FPS we get. They're going to be looking at the gaming experience, the
movie experience, and yes, even the vibes. Meaning, if we fall short in any
key area, display, acoustics,
or even decor, that's the GG. Although
the scope is bigger than ever, the rules are mostly the same. No using our
influence or connections for deals. We're only allowed to message and pick
up items during the agreed upon hours, and we can only use parts and
peripherals that we buy using our budget. Let's check out these rooms.
This really isn't much to work with, is it? >> No, it's very small.
>> And for decor, we've got two power outlets and an Ethernet jack.
>> Speaking of decor, it sounds like junk.
>> This is a lot of work to do. How are we supposed to get everything done in time?
>> With a little help from some old friends.
Each of you will get to draft three teammates. And be very careful because
anyone who doesn't get picked will be a judge for the final showdown. And some
of these people look like they could hold a grudge. We're going to flip a coin to see who goes first. You call it
heads. Oh. Oh, it's a segue to our
sponsor.
How does the draft work? Is it him, me, me, him, him, me?
>> No, we're going to do backboard. >> It's fine. I personally think they are
all extremely good candidates. So, I wouldn't have been concerned about not
getting two picks in a row. >> That's why I said it was fine. >> I'll do Dan Besser.
>> Wow. No favoritism at all. Just the only guy you talk to for 4 hours a week.
>> You're cooked.
>> Let's go. Sebastian and Sebastian. >> Oh,
>> Justin. >> Can we get more rationale as we go here?
I need people that know what they're doing because my amount of knowledge on
home theater stuff is questionable.
>> Okay, I'll take Pancrats. >> Sammy.
>> Okay, >> final pick. I want whoever looks meaner.
>> Oh, Sen was doing great and then she broke. >> One of them is smiling.
>> Neither of you looks mean at all. Okay, I'll take Natalie. That means these
three will be our judges at the end of the week. Thank you so much for your participation. Now, now go work.
>> Since Lionus didn't pick me last, uh, he's getting docked a point immediately.
>> I'm very happy with how the ranking order went. This is the exact crew that
I wanted. Dan is going to be focusing on
home theater man. He has a home theater setup at home. Has worked on home
theater stuff for the company before. Fantastic fabrication makes stuff. Very
helpful. The budget is low. So, if we can get some like kind of scrap
materials, we can get some broken things, put them together, make them work, we're going to save a ton of
money, and vibe commander, there is actually a very significant portion of
the scoring going towards vibe, how it feels. You were very good at that last
scrapard wars. >> Gamer goop. >> Yeah, we might have a gamer goop
problem. Uh, outside of >> What did you commander?
>> Now, all we need is a plan. The plan is that Scrapyard Wars is going to be
coming out early at LMG.gg/floplane, GG/flowplane 48 hours early per episode
and we're going to have all kinds of extras, so don't miss it there. Now, we
need a plan to turn that room into
>> something awesome. A full room. >> A full room. Yes.
Thanks. Okay. You're my ace up the sleeve when it comes to fabrication.
You're the PC guy that I can rely on to fill in any gaps and just do stuff when
I'm not looking. That was a bit of an issue last Scrapyard Wars for me is I
had to do anything to do with the tech. Yeah. >> And Natalie, I saw your bike and I
figured you could help with aesthetics. >> Sure, I can do that. >> Slash also just like numbers.
>> Okay. >> Budgeting, PC, fabrication,
leadership, >> vision, >> vision.
>> Now we'll see where Sammy's loyalties really lie. Once we were teammates,
Sammy, now we're bitter rivals. >> Sammy Wong, more like Sammy Wong.
>> Sammy won cuz I'm winning again. and go.
>> First things first, we need to have a quick strategy meeting here. >> Not a ton to work with. It's actually a
pretty small space. >> I feel like I'm in a prison. >> How much can we hear them?
>> Yeah, we can hear them a bit. >> Okay, so we're going to cut a hole in
the wall of noise. We're filling it full of expanding foam. In a nutshell, by the
end of the competition, we're going to have to have a working PC, a working
display, an audio solution that works for games and movies, and peripherals
that work for the above. We have to watch three movies and play three games.
And it is strongly suggested that we add some decor which
>> we'll start with that. >> Yeah, that's a problem. Again, the walls
are boring as we were discussing outside. We need something for people to
sit on. Part of the judging was based around like how inviting is it to
guests, so it probably shouldn't be one chair, for example. It might be a decent
idea to put carpet cuz it might help with the sound treatment. We do get access to some tools, including a 3D
printer, but we won't get any cables or adapters,
hardware, or even accounts to access those games and movies. We have to
obtain them. Here's the breakdown of how the scoring will work. The decor,
aesthetics, comfort, is it inviting? All that kind of stuff is a third of the
score. The movie experience, so the display quality, audio quality, playback
quality, etc. is a third of the experience. And then the gaming
experience is a third of the experience. >> We are allowed to use subscriptions to
access the games or movies. >> Okay. >> But the cost of the subscription goes
against us, but only for the what we pay. >> Okay. >> So, if we can find free trials.
>> Oh, yeah. >> First thing I'm going to do is go
measure the room, we'll do a model. >> Pretty sure Lionus noticed it as well is
that technically they're not running general benchmarks on the computer. The
only benchmarks that they're running is the three games and the ability to play
back the movies. If we wanted to get weird, we could get a crap computer and
like GeForce Now. >> Nothing here says that we have to play even on a local PC. If we could stream
these games, that's an option. >> Does it say a monitor or does it just
mean? >> Do we need to run benchmarks though? >> We do need to run benchmarks, but I
think that if it was a console, we would just make the argument that it is 60 FPS
>> if it runs at that. Red. >> It looks like the games is Cyberpunk
2077, Returnal, Red Dead Redemption 2.
>> Oo, I don't think half of those are on cloud streaming. >> Yeah. The movies, which we also have to
be able to play, is Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, either the
theatrical or extended cut, The Dark Knight, and Adventure Time season 4,
episode 25. >> What about like what's our general vision, right? Like do we want to stick
to just TV? >> That's my job.
Oh, vision. >> I mean, I'm open. If we find a really
nice TV, I think you could make the argument that in a space like this,
that's probably the route that you should go. >> I think we're going to be kind of
screwed on the streaming services because Returnal is not available on any
streaming service. >> Just buy Returnal and do a streaming service everywhere else.
>> Yeah, but then we would >> then we still need hardware. >> We were trying to get away from the
performance side of things. >> It's like I've never heard of these services.
>> Shadow's a thing. Shadow is a rentable
gaming PC in the cloud. You set it up like a VM. >> Gotcha.
>> So you could install your own stuff from there. So we wouldn't be able to have a
subscription that gives us Returnal, but this could still give us a
>> So we could get a computer for 50 bucks.
We would still need something that could access it. We can get that for real
cheap. >> Well, apparently you can use just about anything. So
>> including like Apple TV or something. >> Already finding some interesting stuff.
There's a $550 55 inch OLED in Abbisford. We could literally go get
that today. It seems to be the cheapest OLED on marketplace that isn't over in
Victoria. With that said, a bigger
screen can add to immersion more than a
higher quality picture depending on the setup. So, I do want to kind of see what
we could get for around that price for just a really big TV.
>> What size was that one? >> Uh 55. >> 55. >> Okay, but hear me out. 85 in TV for 600
bucks. >> Measure it out. What does that look like? >> 85 is this.
>> Holy crap. >> That would be pretty sick. >> 600 CAD.
>> I would do it. >> I don't want to take the first thing we find, but also, you know, I don't want
to be afraid to find a deal and lock it
down. >> I'm more afraid they will take it, too. >> Oh, yeah. I want to buy something today.
Whose Facebook are we using again? >> We can use mine. >> So, for video streaming, it looks like
we'll just need Hulu and Netflix or Prime. Hulu has um Lord of the Rings and
Adventure Time and then the Dark Knights on everything else but Hulu.
>> $100 an L-shaped sofa can sectional.
It's gray so Gamer Group won't show and
it's only been used for one year and it's pickup and Siri. Price is open to
offers. >> I'd message them just get it going. I'm trying to see if we can free up a very
significant amount of the budget for making the room cool
>> using Shadow. Like their systems are pretty beefy. What's that $50 a month
one? So, >> you get RTX A4500 20 GB card, uh, eight
cores of an AMD Epic, 28 gigs of RAM. >> Wow. >> So, it's like roughly equivalent to 3070
Ti. Feel like that's not a bad option, honestly. >> Theoretically, if we get a projector,
>> Yeah, >> I think a projector is >> I would love a short throw projector
that like almost entirely fills that wall. >> Yeah, >> if we go this shadow route too, we might
end up actually having like quite a bit of money for stuff like the couches and
whatnot. I'm just rolling up a quick model of the room and throw a couch
there. Maybe put it up against the wall. No, we kind of want rear tower speakers,
something like that. >> Or even just like side tables with fun things on them or whatever.
>> Yeah, that would probably work. >> Sir David, >> yes. >> Question. Can we use something like
Shadow? Shadow is a service you have to pay for in the cloud. >> Oh, yeah. That's fine. One of the rules
is you have to have a working PC, >> but what defines a PC? Like is a
Raspberry Pi a PC? >> Technically. >> Mhm. >> So, we're doing the basically means
we're doing Shadow. >> Okay. Like for sure here, let's split
up. I'm going to keep looking for potential projectors. If >> we do a 10-ft wall, that will be 139 in
screen. >> We're going to need resolution that's
like decent. If we play like Lord of the Rings >> and it's whatever inches, but each pixel
is the size of my fist, then it's going to suck. >> Absolutely.
>> I want to commit now big TV. >> So that what was that 85?
>> I don't know about that particular one. >> Yeah. But at 600 bucks, that leaves us
$1,400 Canadian dollars to work with. Wait, Sebastian, they changed the
description. They changed it from 85 to 75. >> Also, it was listed 2 hours ago, so this
might be one of those deals where like you can just grab it right away.
>> 75 is still pretty good for Cyberpunk Returnal and RDR2. These are all games I
can play from the couch. >> Oh, yeah. They're not competitive. >> So, with that in mind, I think we should
try and snag the best TV we can find and then build everything around that. Okay.
I'm crossing out that OLED. A because I think it's too small and B because it
has burn-in >> the 55. >> Yeah. Wait. High sense 85 in TV $180.
Can we get to Nimo and back today? >> Nimo.
>> I think we can. >> Does the ferry cost have to go in our
budget? >> The travel is not part of it. >> Okay. Okay. Okay.
>> I think two of us should get in a car now and go to Nimo. That's crazy. Do we
need the truck? >> I have my minivan. Also, if we took the
truck, they wouldn't have the truck today. So,
>> strategic denial. >> What do you mean? You don't have a van. >> What van? >> What van exactly?
>> I don't know what you're talking about. >> Do we need to make sure things work on marketplace? Like, if you go to Nimo and
that TV doesn't work, like what are you going to do? >> I mean, they've got a picture of it
working. >> Okay, I guess we trust that, right? >> We do need to think about the PC/
console. All of those games are console games,
right? Like, we could potentially just get like a PS5. What's a PS5 Pro go for?
>> How do you run movies on a PS5? >> PS5 Pros are pretty expensive. >> Holy Xbox Series X's are like
nothing. How many of those games are on Game Pass? >> Oh,
>> dude. We could finish our whole setup for like 500 bucks and then just bribe
every judge with $500. Look at all these free PS5 scams. They all use the same
picture. >> Okay, so 85 in TV person. >> We want to know what the actual model is
real quick and then we want to get in the car. Like how long does it take to
get to Nimo? It's like an hour and a half ferry.
>> Yeah, it's not too bad. >> But realistically, the first day we're
going to do a ton of just like messaging people and stuff anyway. >> So, you can just do that on the ferry
anyway. >> Totally. >> Yep. >> Okay. It's going to take about 3 hours to get to Nimo.
>> So, it will be an all day endeavor to go to Nimo and back if we leave now. So, we
got to hear from this guy. We got to know if we can pick it up right now.
>> Don't even ask. Just tell him. We're coming right up, bro. >> Does the PS5 play Blu-rays?
>> Yes, it does. I think we can get a PS5 for like a couple hundred bucks
potentially. I feel like they're going to show up to play in terms of the
performance of their PC though. So,
>> I'm doing subscription service for the computer, but I don't really want to do
subscription service for the videos because the streaming quality is so low.
>> Yeah, you definitely get higher quality on Blu-ray for sure. >> Well, I'm thinking about the audio
transit layer because if we want to do a multi- channelannel system and play
something out of VC, you know, VC can do the bitstream stuff, but
>> Okay. So then that leaves a Pi out as the computer for an option. Then
>> it doesn't have to be a Pi. >> You would have to pay for Windows if you
want to activate it, but you don't have to buy it from Microsoft. Remember, there's a subjective part of it. So like
if I'm watching a movie and there's a little activate Windows, that's not helping my subjective experience of
watching this movie. >> We can get rid of that prompt. >> We sure can.
>> And the only thing that is explicit for piracy is no, you can't pirate the
games. >> Yay, crimes. Technically, I already own them, so it's
not stealing at How do we feel about a mini computer? >> Look up like if there's any benefits to
a slightly better computer for running Shadow. If we're going the Shadow route,
I want to make sure we're doing it right. >> Good internet is the main thing. >> The main thing. Yeah.
>> So, if you spend 50 bucks on the computer, 50 bucks on Shadow, we're
done. We need to get the three games. We I'm sure we can find services for at
least two of them. Maybe buy the third, whatever. Let's say that's like another
70 bucks. I don't know. We're 170 bucks
in. That's the computer and all the games. We could pirate the movies. So,
we have all of the software and the computer and everything. Then we have
$1,800 to get projector, sound, couch, cables,
vibe. It honestly should be fine. I'm sure Lionus is trying to freak out about
getting some super cool computer and I'm just going to rent one.
>> Are we committing to the console idea or are we >> No, not at all. Actually, you know what?
How about I hunt consoles, you hunt PC stuff? Sure.
>> And then we can leave them on kind of whatever it is they're doing.
>> Sure. >> Oh, that one has a cup holder. >> This one, too. I think cup holders are
kind of fun, especially if we're doing >> movie experience. Yeah. I would definitely prefer one with a pull-up.
>> This one's pretty nice. >> We don't want to pay for a couch. If we
can get a free couch, we should >> have so much budget though. >> I can keep looking because a free couch
is nice. >> How much are we looking to spend on PC
stuff? >> Well, it depends on that TV. >> I found something that's sort of
interesting. It's 550 bucks right now is what it's listed for, but it's got a
2070 Super in it. And it's got an engineering sample i7 12700
>> base clock of 1 GHz. >> That's a mobile chip if it's an H, isn't
it? >> Yeah. If we could find a CPU motherboard combo, though.
>> Yeah. >> This is potentially a good starting point. >> Do you guys want to go to the ferry and
then we can figure out other stuff?
>> I mean, is that crazy? >> Have they responded first? >> I mean, we could always get
>> Yeah, that's true. Have they responded first? >> Not yet. >> Yeah. All we need to know is if it's
locked in. >> Facebook Marketplace seems to have a lot of spammers and scammers depending on
what you're looking for. Like console man, it just seems to be all scams.
Should I just message some of these ones with really low prices and just be like,
"Hey, can I pick this up right now?" No, I'm not sending you an EFT. Like, I
don't know. >> I don't know if I showed you this. I was legitimately considering this.
>> A lot of budget. >> It's literally half the budget. >> Furniture basically going to be free.
Let's say we we had 300 bucks for furniture. The movie experience and the
atmosphere together is 2/3 of the score.
>> Okay. >> So, like we want it to be >> spend it on the projector. >> We want it Exactly. That's what I'm kind
of thinking. And if you walk in and the projector's like playing and it looks
sick. >> Yeah. >> Like the atmosphere goes up. >> There's some nice mood lighting. We
should do a field trip to the like Belle's office.
>> Yeah. >> Pinterest IRL. >> We are evaluating your space.
>> Yeah. So that kind of like warmth I think would be really good. >> I like that.
>> He also has plants which means he knows what he's doing. >> Absolutely.
>> We should probably get a plant. I like the the stack of Pukari sweat. I don't
think we can recreate that but I like it. Little lights on the wall is nice.
Thank you. Thank you. Anytime. >> Appreciate it. So far, the plan is to
obtain this 85 in TV for $180 and then
build around that because that gives us literally $1,800 Canadian for like
furniture and a gaming PC or a console.
Oh, I guess we need audio as well. But I think it's going to come down to vibes.
I mean, if I could get an Xbox Series X for like 300 bucks, like that seems
pretty solid, right? >> Returnal is one of the games, right? >> Mhm.
>> Yeah. >> Oh, you can't do it on Xbox. Oh, >> it's on PS5 though.
>> Oh, ball sack and PC. Okay, well that's good to know.
>> This couch. I know you didn't want to pay, but $10 is
>> Wo, that's sick. >> If this is available and $10
>> cuz sometimes people put a low price on it just to make sure you show up.
>> No, they said free home delivery. >> Wow. >> For $10. No, that's got it's got to be a
$10 delivery fee. >> Free home delivery. $10 in stock.
>> You can always message. >> Yeah. Is this available? Cuz it
definitely looks fake. What was the GPU in that uh system?
>> It was a 2070. >> Okay. I think we can do better than 2070 for this budget. I think we're thinking
almost too scrappy right now. >> I found a CPU motherboard combo. Intel
10th gen i5. So, it's six cores, 12
threads. The combo is 300 bucks. Might be able to drop them down to like 225 or
250. >> Can buy a 3090 for a grand
>> high sense guy. >> What? >> Uh, yes. Are you interested?
>> Yes, I'm interested. Let'sing go, boys. I'm going to take $200 because that's
all I need. >> I should take a little more than $200
just in case we find some other stuff that we want. >> Because if you're on the island and we
see something, then we can >> There's definitely better Facebook
marketplace deals on the island. So, that's something that we should make a
key part of our strategy then. >> Yep. >> Okay. So, I think we are more than
likely going to be stuck buying the games. There is cheaper places to get
keys for the games that we could look at as well, too. So,
>> we should absolutely do that. We get a 3D projector.
>> Yes, I've seen a few of those, but I think that was a gimmick. Like,
>> yeah, it's probably like a bad idea. I'm documenting it anyways.
>> Can I take a ferry to Sanage? >> If it's worth it, we can do it.
>> There's a short throw projector, which would be good for our short distance. We
like it. We can go pick it up, >> Luke. Yeah, that TK850 looks great. At
10T back, we'll be able to do an 8t 10in screen. Manufacturer says it's going to
be 233 nits. Times that by 3.4. 426.
It's 800 lumen. It's got to be bright.
It's about it. Do you want to message them an offer? >> Yes. Oh my god. I have a limit of
messaging. Thinks I'm a bot. I'm a real human. >> It might be worthwhile to go to this
place called Keep It Green out in Port Kquitam. So what they do is all the
stuff that's left over from movie sets and they're not allowed to legally throw
it out. They have to recycle it. So, it ends up there and you can get either get
stuff really cheap or next to or free. >> I've heard of that. Yeah.
>> Should we just go like now? >> Yeah. >> They close at 3 p.m. So, if you want to
go, >> can you read while someone else drives? >> Yes. >> Can someone else message this before we
forget? >> It's listed at 900. >> 800.
>> I could offer 800. >> Oh, it comes with a 100 in screen. >> We should take the screen just in case
we run out of budget for the gray paint. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> I don't know anything about sound. Fine.
Send it to me. >> For acoustic panels, I assume we're
going to do some acoustic treatment. Sebastian, we'll probably do what we did in the server room.
>> Okay. >> With that uh that cheap board from Home Depot or Rona.
>> Yep. And then just stick some stuff on it. >> We do that. We can do left. >> He is back from work at 3:00 p.m. So
after 3 p.m. works for him. >> Then let'sing go now, boys. And do we
have the model yet? >> No, we don't. Um he can't check until he
is back home from work. >> What? >> So we need to commit and then hope that
it's good. Oh, me.
>> What does that prevent you from doing? >> It prevents me from getting anything else today.
>> Yeah, it's just a waste of time. >> But I guess you guys are on the you guys are on the mainland, so you guys could
pick up anything over here if we find a killer deal. So, >> yeah. And we can still keep looking for
island deals. >> And worst case scenario, if our TV kind of sucks, I think we just try to make up
for it in sound. And we get like a sick little gaming station and we put it in
this corner or something. >> Yeah. If you guys find any furniture that you like, but you don't love the
color. >> Oh, we can. >> I have I have like a air sprayer.
>> So, we could do like a really nice finish on a piece of furniture
potentially. Getting the material for it though, we'll have to pay for it.
>> Yep. >> Okay. All right. Let's go, team. >> If you have tools at home that have been
used in LMG videos, those are eligible, too. >> Oh, sick. Okay.
>> So, Lionus's entire house and garage. >> Oh, wait. Um, how are we going to
transport this thing? >> Got the truck keys. Oh, you snagged it.
>> Yeah, >> dude. They have no truck today. >> No, I got it for the rest of the day. >> Well, that's what happens, I guess. You
snooze, you lose. Did you find out with the model? >> I didn't find the model, but he was able
to confirm it's 4K. He's asking if we can commit, and he'll pull the ad down
for us. >> Hail Mary. >> Let's go for it. >> Let's do it.
>> Okay, I'll let him know. >> I can't believe it. This is the earliest
I think I've ever committed anything in Scrapyard Wars. >> They're asking, "Okay, can you do a
small deposit? I pulled down ad right now. The rest will be up on cash.
That's uh it's >> a little sus.
>> That's a little sus. >> Do you want the good news first or the bad news?
>> Uh bad news. >> Okay. The bad news is the first sailing
that has room for vehicles is at 400 p.m.
>> Do you want the good news? >> What's the good news? >> Uh we have a full tank of gas.
>> Nice. >> So, we're going to have to figure out
how to transport it back over the ferry by hand.
Look at his face. This is far from the sketchiest thing we've ever done in Scrapyard Wars. Don't worry. How are
things on your side? >> He'd like a $30 deposit for us to claim
it. And it could be better for you if
you do it now. So, I'm wondering if the other team is messaging him. >> Do we have an address for this guy?
Let's >> Yeah, I do have an address. >> Okay. So, this isn't just a scam.
Hopefully. >> Yeah. The address is
>> Do it. We'll just eat the $30 if we get scammed. >> Okay. So, he is 4 km from the Naimo
terminal. >> That's fine. Transportation doesn't count. We can Uber it. So, as long as we
can carry it over the boat. I mean, that can't be the weirdest thing they've ever
seen anyone carry over the ferry. So, this is kind of the weirdest first day
of Scrapyard Wars, though. This is wild. In the meantime, do you want to keep
shopping for PC stuff? How's How are you for motion sickness? >> I'm generally pretty good for motion
sickness. >> Okay, we can always trade off. >> Do you need a truck? >> Maybe.
>> Yeah. >> For what? >> We don't know yet, but this keep it green place usually has all sorts of
stuff. Like I've seen couches, full-on sets there, like all sorts of stuff.
>> They took it already. >> Bastards. >> Do we know how long they're going to be
with the truck? >> Who knows? They're going to be a long time with the truck. >> What if somebody else at the company has
an SUV we can take? I have a SUV at home and my home is like a 10-minute away.
But you're a cameraman. I'm not driving. >> Yeah, he'd go with you.
>> What is the statement has about half its bulb light left? >> They get dimmer over time. Did he
respond? >> We got it. >> Okay. >> 800 bucks.
>> Tell them that we're on the way now. We've just got something to pick up, but
we're on the way. >> Money, please.
>> Thank you, sir. >> And have another one for fun.
>> I'm really happy that we got that projector. My new focus is going to be
home theater equipment. I kind of want it to be like basically hidden away or
like big box in your face. Yeah, I kind of I think it's like one or the other.
>> I think it'll really depend on what we do with the couch. I think the couch is
kind of like a centerpiece. >> We have at least a $200 budget for
couches. We don't have to get something completely junk. Uh we could probably
swing more than that. We just need to get some more ideas of where we're going
to land on pricing on things. >> Okay. >> You know what we could also potentially
pick up on the island pancrats is an audio system. If anyone is selling
really nice audio equipment over on the island, they're probably going to really
struggle to move it compared to here on the mainland. So, if there's something,
that would be a stellar place to pick it up. >> We're going to be going to Andy's to get
his car. Justin is currently stealing all of the tools from the shop um and
all the batteries so that Seb can't use them. We got to win, right?
>> We should just like bar the shop somehow. >> Oh, what I could do is I could um remove
Seb from his ability to enter the shop. like
five. >> I don't know if we can use We We can ask That's something I feel like we have to
ask David. >> What? Are they going to figure out that it was me? No. Come on.
>> It was an oopsies. >> One thing I noticed is that the bulb, it
looks very dingy. Looks kind of scary. >> That bulb needs to go.
>> Yeah. Either we get a shade, like a lamp shade or something for it. I don't know
how fixtures work. Or we get at least buy like a Philips Hue bulb. I think we
have the budget for that. We got We got to do something with it. Totally agree.
>> We're here now at Keep It Green. So, let's try and get some garbage. This
could sit three people, right? That's not bad at all.
>> That one looks not great. But the >> It's got It's got a bit of wear and
tear. >> We could put some Sharpie on that. >> We can kind of hide that a bit, you know, put a nice throw blanket over top.
>> Couches online. >> The navy one. It looks a little dated
though. >> Definitely. >> Yeah. >> That thing is just hideous.
>> The black one is great though. >> Oh, that's hideous. Yeah, I really like
the black one. >> We're not getting a couch today. >> No, we're not getting a couch. Okay,
>> that's fine. >> Do you have any rugs or throw pillows,
blankets? >> We might check upstairs. There might be something good upstairs.
>> Yeah. >> Oh, so we got a bunch of lamps and stuff up here.
>> Okay, but these look pretty old time. Are there any floor lamps?
>> Oh, we got some we got some uh plantage up here. >> Oh, these are really short. Oh, what is
that? It is a giant peanut. >> Yeah. Okay.
>> How's that for vibe? >> Oh god. That's not our vibe though. But
that is a vibe. >> Yeah. I don't think any of this is up our alley.
>> All right. On onto the projector. >> I think so. >> Sucks a little bit that we don't have
like our centerpiece couch because I kind of want to design like a room
around that. But it's okay. It'll work.
Yeah. Brand new sofas haven't been used. Want them gone because we like we bought
another sofa that we liked more. This girl looks very aesthetically inclined.
Either it's a scam or bed bugs. >> Yeah, as long as bed bugs don't actively
crawl on the judges, we're fine. Currently offering 50 bucks on a Lenovo
business desktop Think Center, small form factor with an i540570.
I said, "You listed it for a dollar. How much do you actually want?" He said, "7." I said, "Ah, I could probably do
50." He said, "I'll do 60. Deal?" I said, "Pretty hard on 50. can you do
that? He said, "55." And I said, "I have
$50." And he said, "Fine."
50 bucks for the whole computer paired with 50 bucks for Shadow. $100 for the
entire computer. Seems pretty good to me. >> I 4750, 16 gigs of RAM, 256 gig uh SSD,
has Windows 11 on it. I think that should be fine just for like as like a
thin client for connecting to our VM. >> Sure. >> Yeah, that should be fine.
>> HDMI out. It's got two display ports, so we'd have to get an adapter, but I don't
think that's a big deal. >> Depends on what we're doing for audio, though. >> The computer does have line out, which I
mean is not ideal, but it's something. >> I want a 7.1 bit stream.
>> Okay, I guess I'll message Luke back here. >> So, Dan expressed some concern with the
computer because it's only DisplayPort out. He's unsure about the audio. My
brain was just like, get an adapter. But, um, I guess there are actually some
issues there. So, I am yet again on the computer hunt. Oh, hey. We're here for
the projector. Hey. >> Yeah. >> Yeah.
>> Kind of fun to get a 3D one. >> That was the most fun I had with it. I I
went through literally the back catalog. Any 3D movies that were particularly
known to be good. >> Does it have moving and adjustment or anything like that?
>> Oh, yeah. >> We got focus and we got the zoom in.
Yeah. >> And you said that there was um a ceiling
mount or something? Can't remember. >> Uh no, there's no ceiling mount. Okay.
Okay. No, >> not a problem at all. So, if we have a
look at our ability to ceiling mount it
M4, you'll be okay with this. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. This this will be easy
to sort out. I'm not too worried about it. >> Oh, excellent. >> It's annoying. I did have a ceiling
mount, but uh couldn't find it. >> Well, we're probably just going to screw
it or duct tape it to the ceiling anyway. Let's see what Luke says about
input latency. 83 milliseconds is
probably fine. >> That should be fine. >> Yeah. Cool. Yeah. Happy. Yeah,
>> I think we said 800. >> Yeah, that's right. >> Nice. >> Buying no ceiling mount. Did he lie? I
don't like that there's no ceiling mount. I thought the listing said ceiling mount. Are they bad hagglers?
>> Unless there was Was the listing Did the listing have one? >> Have a ceiling mount as well if you
want. The listing has it. They picked it up, said that they didn't have a ceiling
mount, and they didn't get any discount at all.
>> He did 100 off already, and he signed the film release. That's not okay.
That's >> film releases. Don't give us more decor.
>> This guy's getting weirder and weirder, though. Uh, he gave me an email address,
so I sent the e transfer over with a security question of what brand is the
TV. >> Yeah, >> that should be really obvious. It's a High Sense TV. Um, and then he said,
"Please let me know the answer once you're done." Um, I said, "Yep, should
be there. Should be easy from the question, just the manufacturer name."
And then he said, "Could you please share the security answer for easy
confirmation with two check marks?" And what's the answer? I'll pull the ad down
now. What's the security answer? We seal the deal away. The rest will be upon
cash. >> Are we just getting ripped off of $30 here?
>> I don't know. I mean, I tried to look at the guy's profile and it's locked. So, I
can't see anything more than that.
>> Yeah. It smells bad, doesn't it? >> Yeah. The weird thing is the two check
marks behind a bunch of the messages. That just seems very strange that
someone commu would communicate that way.
>> This is a huge gamble. >> It is a gamble.
>> I'm not going to lie. We're in rough shape over here. >> It's hard to find stuff.
>> Oh man, you guys are killing me. We're starting to chew through budget pretty
quick here. This is not as much money as I felt like. It's a 1day 7-hour print.
>> It is a risk. I might torpedo the entire team with this.
>> How does it take a day? You want fast, but it might break. And this will be on
you, Dan. >> Scrap your board. >> This time, we transform a completely
empty room into an epic gaming movie
watching paradise. Our budget, $1,400.
Our judges will be looking at the gaming experience, the movie experience, and
yes, even the vibes. This is a lot of work to do. How am I supposed to get
everything done in time? >> With a little help from some old
friends.
This guy's getting weirder and weirder, though. So, I sent the e transfer over
with a security question of what brand is the TV. That should be really
obvious. And then he said, "Could you please share the security answer for
easy confirmation with two check marks?" >> Are we just getting ripped off of $30
here? >> I don't know. >> Maybe just tell him that you'll give it to him in a video call.
>> I got a response from him quoting scripture and saying he's a staunch
Christian believer and he doesn't want to scam people. He knows karma is real.
I don't run scams. I got kids to raise. Absolutely absurd. May the rippers rot
in hell. >> Cancel the funds. And let's be thankful that we didn't lose $30. I've lost and
won scrapyard wars by margins of less than $30 before.
>> You got the projector. >> Yay. >> That's what we wanted, right?
>> Yeah. Just the screen, not the roof mount thing. Ceiling mount.
>> Okay. I thought >> Thanks, Dan. >> I thought that you had that in a
different listing cuz you sent me like 15 listings. Anyway, we'll just screw it
to the ceiling. >> This is what Justin's for. I guess we have links for everything from computers
to home theater systems to couches to lamps to general vibe things to rugs.
We're kind of all over the place. >> Oh no. >> What? >> I got rate limited.
>> No, because of that guy. >> I think it's because the other guys back
at home base are using my account as well. >> Continue tomorrow.
>> Tomorrow? Dad should be fine. I'm using my own. So
>> yeah, at least we have two. This person said no to 100, but they do 120.
>> I think 120 is fine cuz I know Lion is still saying, "Oh, I don't want to spend money on a couch." But I'm like, 120 is
good. It's pull out, too. >> Now you can be like, you can also sleep
in your gaming room because you don't have anything else in your weird room
with a camera in the corner, >> man. People wanting $600 Canadian for a
3060 Ti. Like, come on, man. >> What is this? It's a bit slower on the
CPU spec, but it's a 3070 system with 64
gigs of RAM for $799. There's actually a fair number of 3070 class systems listed
right now. Here's one with a 10enth gen Core i7, a 3070. This one's 875. At this
kind of price, though, is PS5 Pro a legitimate option?
>> We're getting better than PS5 Pro performance, I think. >> But what we're not getting is a
controller. >> Controller can't be that expensive. >> It's a really nice controller. If we
could find a PS5 bundle that had a couple controllers or something like
that, I think it's a pretty compelling offer. Like, here's a PS5 with two
controllers for $460. Are we really getting that much of a
better experience out of this PC? I think we have to really ask ourselves
honestly. >> Sebastian's calling in. >> Couches are actually looking hard to
get, so we're probably going to have to pay for something. >> No,
>> a lot of the listings are fake listings, so they're saying $10, but then it's
actually when you message them, they're $800. >> So, we got rate limited for nothing so
that we could try and get bamboozled on a couch deal. >> Yep. Exactly. No TV, no couch, nothing.
Dude, I'm not going to lie. We're in rough shape over here.
>> It's hard to find stuff. >> This guy is good to go now if we want
to. And he's got the computer hooked up, so we can try it. >> Let's just do it. Okay, we're we're
committing to PC. I don't know if I like it, but
are we even going to get more FPS with a 3070
>> than a straight PS5? Yes. >> What does that run Cyberpunk at? >> The PS5 targets 60 shifts between 1200
and 1800p. I think I I think PS5 is
going to be cheaper and we can then maybe rent games. >> It does say you need one working PC.
>> It does. >> Oh, I forgot about that. Okay, it let's do it. Let's go.
>> It doesn't say you have to game on the PC, so you could get like a minute form
or something like that. >> It just needs to be there. >> Oh man, you guys are killing me.
>> I think if we can get a TV and audio locked in, that kind of gives the range
for PC and console stuff. >> Dude, we can get some like wild tower
speakers and stuff. Of the judges, are there any audio files?
>> Adam for sure. >> James likes audio. >> That's true. >> The other nice thing is if we go
console, you don't really need any peripherals. >> Forget the PC. We're going PS5. There.
>> The projector is like a very important part of the room. I think the remaining
two very important part of the room decisions are couch and home theater
audio. >> All right. I had to look through these speaker ones. >> Yeah,
>> they're just speakers. We need some sort of interface. We either need an AV
receiver if we're going to do analog speakers or we need something that's
going to marry the audio together. >> Technically, if all hell breaks loose,
this thing has speakers in it. >> We're not doing that. >> Yeah, we don't want to. You guys already
tested this. We know it's going to be okay. We can dial it in later.
>> Absolutely. >> Uh work on the speakers for now cuz once we solve speakers, we can pick one of
the couches. >> Can we fit a 73 in couch?
>> Yep. So, the one that we bought >> Yeah, the screen was 100 in. That'll
give us well nearly two foot each side of it.
>> Okay. >> So, some nice big towers would probably be cool.
>> Oh, those are beastly for 20 bucks. So,
$10 a speaker. >> I think we have to grab them for 20 bucks. >> Are they good?
>> I have no idea. Probably not. Well, they're pioneer. They can't be that bad.
>> Why are we getting probably not? >> Cuz they're $20. >> Why would
I've been looking for like 5 minutes. >> Hey, there's a fire truck for sale. You
buy a fire truck. We don't really need to necessarily have audio come through
this or anything else because if we go DisplayPort to HDMI, all we have to do
is send the projector video, then we can
go from like a digital output, a spiff or something else into a receiver and do
analog speakers for like super cheap. >> A lot of um the computers don't have
spiff. If it has two outputs, like say it can do two computer monitors, dual
screen. One of the screens goes to the amplifier and then we send audio to the
amplifier over HDMI and then the real screen goes to the projector. So, it
doesn't even need to do a pass through because it'll be mirrored and we're just like faking it. So, we could go a really
really low-end cheap amp that can barely
put out anything. And then the second monitor is the amplifier and the main
monitor is 4K 60. And then we just send out audio over one of the channels.
Another thing you should try to do today maybe is try to find free or extremely
cheap supplies for any potential like sound panels or anything else we want to
make for the room. >> Yeah. I'm trying to think of what we could do for sound dentening that would
be cheap. >> Well, we're going to have a couch and
we're going to have a very floofy rug for like 25 bucks. Getting actually nice
rugs is expensive. It seems >> that checks out. There's also an odd
theme of everybody with not that nice rugs takes a picture of it on the street
for some reason or in their driveway, not in their house. >> Huh.
>> And when they do that, I'm like, it's probably really gross. For other things
we're going to have, we're going to have some audio stuff. So, we're going to have TV, we're going to have audio. It
might be worth messaging this console, >> the black one,
>> cuz then we're going to have the audio stuff. If we get a console, we can put
it under there. So, our current plan is stop by Home Depot, get our Philips
light for the middle. That's it for now. >> Yeah. >> Based on what we've seen for TV deals so
far, we may be better off just going to an open box store. All right, here's
openbox.ca. Let's go. Realistically, if we're spending more than about 500
bucks, we're probably putting ourselves in a bad situation. >> We got to keep in mind there's going to
be tax. >> Tax man wants his cut. What I'm kind of
looking for is the cheapest TV that's native 120 Hz. But then, hey, Pancrats,
realistically on a PS5, are we running any of those games at 120 FPS anyway?
>> No. All right, then. Maybe it doesn't matter. Light bleed right side. $289.99.
A little bit of tape could fix that. That bad boy. Hey, Glenn. What are the
odds the judges would notice this? >> The pile is pretty picky. It will look
close. >> It's 950 bucks, though. I think it might be out of our price range anyway.
>> This one's a Death Eater. Throwing up the dark mark. 65 seems a little small,
though, doesn't it? >> 65 would fill the space fairly well. But
if you want that big immersion, I think we need to get the 75.
>> Okay. Well, the only 75 I see here is this one for 950 with the
>> panel one way up front. >> Yeah. Let's go look at the one in the front. Realistically, if we're going for
pure size, this 75 in for 550 bucks with
a free soundbar is uh the best thing we've seen so far. Here's what I'm
thinking. This deal is just here. There's no urgency. So, why don't we go
to their other location, see if they have anything with blemishes or anything
that's a really smoking hot deal, and then if they don't, we can always come
get this tomorrow or the next day. >> Yeah, that's very true. I did get another response from a different PS5
person. >> Oh, okay. >> I asked for 450. The original price was
500 for one controller and the console. And he said, "Yeah, that wouldn't be a
problem." >> Also, we could do 250 for those speakers
and the sub. So, that's for center channel, right tower, and sub. And we
need surrounds. We're starting to We're starting to chew through budget pretty
quick here. Man, this is not as much money as it felt like. Seamlessly
control using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth if Wi-Fi is not available.
>> Wi-Fi is not available. >> Full RGB. >> We can return it tomorrow if it doesn't
work today. We have a receipt. >> Sure. >> All right, let's go. Thanks.
>> Okay, what else are we missing? We still need a receiver. >> Receiver. >> Okay, let's get a ballpark for what a
receiver is going to cost us. >> I found an Eno home theater receiver.
It's 120 bucks. It's got 4K 60 Hz HDMI
support and ARC. Guys responding back saying, "Yeah, 100% everything works."
Maybe just offer 100 bucks. Can we do a 100 bucks? Even 100. Chris Chris Pondo
speakers guy says we can either pick up at 9 tonight or 10 a.m. tomorrow. What
would we prefer? >> Probably 10:00 a.m. tomorrow. >> Oh man, this is so We're making some big
commitments on day one here, dude. >> Home theater guy is firm at 120, but
today works for pickup. >> Okay, let's get on a call with the team
and let's strat here. >> Here's the situation on our side. We've
got an AV receiver for 120 firm that we
can go get right now that we think we should probably take. Not because I love
the idea of spending a fortune on an AV receiver, but because it supports ARC
and 4K 60 Hz. So, that means we're going to be able to run our PS5 properly. We
also have a set of speakers for 250.
That is center, left, right, and subwoofer, which gives us about another
hundred bucks to do rears and heights. We could potentially have an Atmos audio
setup. >> Damn. >> Okay. Yeah, I like that. >> However, that's going to leave us like
200 bucks for all the paint, decor,
light fixture, acoustic paneling, which we need.
>> Light fixture we've basically solved for
$17. The plan is to 3D print some stuff.
>> And we have a Philips Hue bulb, so we
can basically tune our color and all of that and then just put a 3D printed
light fixture. Can we Can we omit the Philips Hue bulb until the last minute?
>> Yeah, we could do that. >> Yeah, I'm just a little worried that if
we're like missing an HDMI cable or something and we have an RGB bulb, I'm
going to feel pretty bad. >> I think that makes sense. Uh we're just
about to pick up the couch right now. >> We're headed to a second location of
this openbox.ca place to see if they have like a like a really rough one with
like some scratches in the screen. That's a great deal. >> Yeah, let's just do that for now.
>> Yeah. Whoa. Hey, PlayStation 5 with two controllers. This is the disc version,
right? Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's my price on this, boys? 460 for a PlayStation
with two controllers. That's sick, right? We like that. >> That's a good deal.
>> Okay, I think that's the best deal we've seen so far. All right, we'll see you guys soon. Bye.
>> See you. We can always return the bulb. >> Yeah, that's fine. We got a receipt.
He's like, "Did you guys buy it?" Nope.
>> I'm glad I didn't let them buy that RGB lamp. >> Hello. We're here to pick up the sofa.
>> Oh, okay. It's in the in the garage. >> Okay, sounds good. Thank you. Okay, I
have the 120 here. This is in good condition, too.
>> Pretty good. >> Okay, there we go.
>> We're here. Openbox.ca. >> 75 in. But too much. Too much. Too much.
This is actually the same one that we had at the other place for 550. They've got it for 550 here too. The 550 is the
best that we can go on that one though. >> I have a 70 in in this one. Same. Only
thing wrong is it have like very minor scratches. I'll show you what it will
look like. So, they're bringing down a 70 in that has minor cosmetic damage. It
says minor scratches on the face for$450
for a 70 in. Is that interesting? >> The question is, do we need to save the
money? Cuz if we don't need the money for something else, then we're better
off going for the bigger TV, maybe. Also, I'm finding a few more TV deals
lately. I found a high sense for 600 bucks for a 75 in. And I basically
messaged them and I'm like, "Look, I can get a Samsung at openbox.ca CA for 550
and it comes with a free soundbar. Can you do like 450 bucks? So, we might lock
in a deal here, but we might not walk away with it today. >> Yeah. >> Does that kind of make sense to
everyone?
>> How comfy is it? >> Pretty good. >> It also pulls out so you can just sleep
on it. >> Do we get bonus points? >> I mean, I'm not the judge, but yes. Am I
too fat? Am I breaking it? >> Yo.
>> And we just do this. So, what I was able to get there is they
had an open box uh minor damage TV, 70
in for $450. Oh. >> I went and took a look at the screen. I
couldn't find anything wrong with it at all. >> That's not bad. But hear me out. 86 inm
for $750. >> It's a commercial display. It's a
digital signage display. There is a catch. Buddy's in Vernon, so it's about
a 4 and 1/2 hour drive. That would basically be the only thing that we do
that day. Either way, we're not committing right now. So, we should head
to go pick up our speakers, right? >> AV receiver. >> No, the AV receiver. Let's go. I'm
calling it now. Luke is definitely building a high performance PC. He can't
help himself. And that that will be his downfall because he's almost certainly
going to outdeal hunt us on things like TV consoles and couches. There's no way
he's paying no $200 for a TV console and a couch. I guarantee you that. But we're
going to beat him with our PlayStation 5 >> on this 95 bucks listing. messaged this
guy. Yeah, I was like, "Yeah, do you have like a 2.0 compatible HDMI?"
>> Oh, but this one is. >> Oh, it is. >> This is a 7000 series i5. This works. It
has HDMI out directly. This is the only one at this price point that I found with HDMI out directly.
>> Do you want to just message him as well? >> Yeah.
>> See if he'll message you cuz I already asked him a question. >> Mobile be like, "Never mind. That one
works 50 bucks." And then I'll come in and be like 75. going out.
>> I'm finding NVMe drive, USBC, blah blah blah blah blah. No HDMI HDMI.
>> You have to pay like a license fee every time you put an HDMI on a device. And
display ports free. And I'm pretty sure VGA is free. >> He'd take 85.
>> Yeah, he said that to me, too. He said, "I'll be away tomorrow. I'll be home
after 5:30 on Wednesday, which is like
5:30 on Wednesday. I I don't think we can risk that to be honest."
>> Also, I found a receiver pretty local. It has a remote. The pictures are
but it's free and I think it would do well. It's got some bookshelf speakers.
>> Free is an arguably good price. Part of the whole thing with Scrappy Wars is
getting stuff before the other team gets it. >> I never considered that. Yeah. >> Yeah. So, like just
take it. >> One big piece.
>> My gut's really saying like with the amount of budget we have remaining, we
should get a good couch. >> Probably. >> It's like probably in the top three of
most important things. If I'm coming into that room, >> projector couch. If this amp we found is
good, then we're saving on the entire speaker system. If it's garbage, then we
still have to find one. But hopefully I can go pick that up tonight.
>> Cuz if we're willing to go up to 400, I'm going to that guy in Burnaby with
this couch and I'm saying I'll pay $400 for it. >> You can do it.
>> Okay. >> If that couch is sick and you want to do it, we technically have the budget.
>> He said he's willing to go down to $375.
>> I feel like we should just do it. >> Couch guy just replied. He said 375.
Yes. in cash pick up in Brentwood. He sent me a video and everything of it.
Looks pretty good. >> So, there's the couch >> and there's kind of what it's going to
be in the space. >> I think that couch is great, man. >> How much are we into vibe budget?
>> 375. Lighting we haven't locked in.
Cables, power bars, sound treatment, audio equipment. Vibe is 100.
>> Cuz we're going to need an end table to either side. And I most likely need
three things to put speakers on from the front. I need five tables.
>> I don't know if we can do that. Yeah.
>> Okay. That's sick. >> My son made this in metal work. It's one
of a kind for free. >> Do it. I think the kid didn't pass shop
class. >> Hello there. Uh what was the price for
this again? >> 120. >> I had a little bit of extra speaker cable.
>> Oh, that's fantastic. Thank you. We got two 5ft HDMI cables, about 15 ft of
speaker wire. That's not going to get us too far, but it'll be something. remote,
Avec batteries, and then for IO, this is a whole like very HDMI receiver. I don't
love blowing money on an amplifier, but given that a third of our score is going
to be how good the movie watching experience is, I think it's the right
thing to do. All right, so we have a projector on hand. We have a couch
selected, which is like an awesome looking couch. We have a rug selected.
We have uh receiver and speakers, although we don't even like fully know
if they exist. >> Yeah, we'll see if they're any good. >> Yeah, we don't 100% know about that, but
it's coming along. We're currently hinging pretty hard on the computer.
I've got a couple options here for around 100 bucks that have a GTX 1060 in
them. The problem is both of them don't have an SSD, so the computer might be
creeping up in price. The Computer Plus Shadow might be up closer to $200, $220
now instead of $150. And with the amount we just dropped on the couch, which I
think was the right move, that makes that a little tight. >> I wouldn't describe our day as
empty-handed. My hands are full, but I
wouldn't say we bought a lot today either. What did we get at Home Depot?
>> Uh, we got a light, but we had gotten it before you said don't get it, but we can
return it. >> Got a receipt. >> Okay. Okay. We, meanwhile, got an AV
receiver that supports 4K 60 Hz, so that's plenty for our PS5. We've got one
deal maybe lined up. 460 with two Dual
Sense controllers. >> That's not bad. What else is there to discuss? Right.
>> Media console. >> No. >> No. >> There's an 86 in TV
>> that I talked down to $750.
>> This This is why we have the big square. >> That's 85. >> Wait, is it a scam?
>> No, I don't think so. >> You guys looked at 75s today. >> There's that one from openbox.ca that's
for 550 plus tax. A 75 is going to be easy.
>> An 85 class, I think that's going to be a wow factor. We were debating if we
pick up a media or TV stand tonight. It's 75 bucks.
>> It's got a tempered glass. It's got nice grain here.
>> I don't hate it, actually. Do it. Let's just do it. We'll commit.
>> Start of day two. The main goals for today is we have to get that couch. We
have some audio equipment now, which we'll go over soon, but we need to
finalize the audio solution. And ideally, we need to finalize what we're
doing for the computer. I think we basically just need to commit to Shadow.
Um, I did some speed testing because they have a speed testing service. Okay.
If we get their Montreal server, it's like 70 something ping, which is
>> that's not terrible. >> That's >> But also, in my opinion, a no because
that's on top of all the other latency in the system. >> So, it's going to end up feeling not
great. If we get a Portland server, it's like nine,
>> which >> sounds pretty amazing. So, I think we're just going to send it. I am personally
unaware of what's in that box right now. >> Okay. Well, there is
>> Are you aware of what's in the box? >> Speakers. There is a receiver.
>> Are they any good? >> That's what we need to find out. One of the first things we should do is if we
can get this tested out, then we can reallocate some of that budget if this
happens to work out. >> We're just bringing in some chairs
temporarily from over there just so we can kind of get a feeling of things. But
we're not going to let them know that.
Hopefully, they sound okay. Hey, you could probably get away with one, right? >> Yeah, I was just plugging one in and
then I was going to test the channels out, make sure they're okay. >> I think this projector is going to work
for us. We have a pretty good one here.
It's 4K 60 and it seems to be running fine at 4K 60. I'm really hoping that
it's going to work from the ceiling. I'm going to test to see how much we get
from the keystone because I'm a little concerned that if we do it from the
ceiling, it's going to be offensive. We do have some overcan adjustment which is
very useful. It's got HDR which is good. I've got the Dark Knight in HDR and I've
got the Lord of the Rings which is going to be good too. One thing that we could
do is try it on the floor and then pretend that's the ceiling and then get
our height there. I think I'm going to do that instead. That makes a little bit more sense.
>> It might need some work. >> Yeah, that could probably use a bit of
tuning, but we'll be okay. >> Turn it down. >> It's okay. I don't feel anything.
>> I hope that's what their sound system sounds like because then we're in pretty
good shape. I think looks like the free speakers that we p picked up are going
to be pretty good. Justin gave him a quick test. We don't want to play too
loud. Uh it's very thin walls in this apartment, but this should be good. We
should be able to adjust some stuff paired with the projector. I think we'll
be pretty good. Keystone looks fine. Brightness looks fine even with the
lights on. Got 50 ft of speaker cable. Let's uh get Justin on this mount and
then um I'll get some stuff set up and see if we can start getting this working
properly. >> Okay, so we're about to go grab the couch. I don't think we're going to be
able to drive around with the couch, so we'll just come directly back and then
we'll go map out everything else. We have a floating side table that we're
going to pick it up for free. And then there's a few other decor things like
the rug and whatever um that we've set up for the rest of the day. So, that's
just going to be mostly the rest of the day.
>> So, I've got some updates for you guys. And I see you guys have some updates for
me. This looks great. >> Yeah. >> As for me, I've got a 10 a.m. pickup for
our center channel, our towers, as well as our subwoofer.
>> Nice. >> And then hopefully, I have the $460 PS5
with two controllers and three games locked down for a little bit after that.
Do we want to go get that 86-in TV? If so, someone would have to leave now. I
was actually leaning if towards a 75.
>> Okay. >> Just because I think that gives us more budget to do other things.
>> I brought in my painting supplies today. So, a trip to the paint store is
definitely in my future. That seems doable. >> Which place are we heading to first?
>> The speakers. I haven't heard back from the PlayStation guy. Or maybe I have. On
Messenger, he said to text him. So, I texted the number he gave me. And then I
got a text back from another number that was like, "Okay, let's meet here." But
didn't give me a time. And I don't know if that's PlayStation guy or just a
random spam message. I really hope PlayStation guy is real because we can't
afford to not have a PlayStation right now. >> How's it going? >> Hello. Hello. Good.
>> I was looking for speaker cable. >> Oh, awesome. >> Awesome. It's not the best, but you
know, for your love. >> Yeah, something is better than nothing.
Okay, perfect. Thank you very much. We'll get this off of your porch and we'll close the gate behind us.
>> Awesome. >> Well, here's our haul. 250 bucks.
They're on the older side. They look like they're in good condition. It
doesn't look like any kids or animals have poked anything through the drivers.
Actually kind of slick looking. How big is this sub? About 12 in. Hopefully she
wubs cuz we're really relying on this our center channel in these towers to
drive the acoustic experience for both gaming and for movies. Hey, this is
great. I just heard back from PlayStation 5 guy. Whoa, I also found an
85 in smart TV for $300. They seem like
a real person. Stuff's happening. PS5 guy. It turns out
the weird text me back from a different number. Whatever. That's him. So, he
wants to meet at Goldstone Park, which is I'm just looking at the cross street
about 50 blocks from here. I I think he means now. And I'm hearing back from
what looks like a real person for an 85
in TV for $300. They haven't asked for a deposit or anything
>> and they gave us an address. >> Yeah. Should we just go for it? We can
always go to Open Box anytime and get a TV. A working 85 in TV for 300 bucks. I
don't think you can get much better than that. >> Okay. Okay. I'm going to go for gold.
Okay. Let's go get a PlayStation. Oh my
god, this again. I reply to the guy with the TV. Sorry. A lot of scams on
Facebook do this so I don't pay deposits. He goes, "Am staunch Christian
believer and can't scam people of their hard-earned money. God forbid such
people. I do understand how painful it's the money is just meant for holding then
full payment on pickup." >> This sounds exactly the same. It's the
same guy. >> Assuming this next pickup is real, we're going to be in good shape. We will
either have or have a real concrete lead
on display, sound, gaming device. So, at
that point, nothing can prevent us from at least completing the challenge, even
if we don't win. >> Oh, we need the PC still. We need a working PC.
>> Oh, yeah. I mean, that I'm not too worried about. There's got to be a free
PC somewhere. >> Yeah, Shadow. I'm I'm like I'm feeling
pretty good about it. It is a risk. I'm
understanding. I might torpedo the entire team with this. You know what? If
they start having issues, what if it sucks? I don't know.
>> Hello. >> Hello. I need to do this now. Do you
want to just do this over the phone? >> Uh, we can put it over the phone. >> All right. It took a second. We are
good. It went through. Thank you very much, sir. All right. Our fade is
effectively sealed. We spent so much on the projector and then now $51 on
something that if it doesn't work out, we just can't get it back. that this is
this is the route that we must go at this point. I feel like this is the type
of stuff that it's going to take to win this season. So hopefully it goes okay.
>> What kind of PC do you think Lionus is going to go for? >> I have no idea, man. I usually try
something a little bit more yolo and then he goes like much more averaged
out. I'm usually expecting him to get like a pretty solid CPU, but then this
competition like if you look at the rules, it's really not focused on the
computer like at all. So he could also throw a curveball. It's going to be
interesting. When do we need to head out? >> It takes us like 45 50 minutes to get
there. >> So now, >> all right, let's get our cash ready. 1 2
3 4 10 20 30. >> Yeah.
>> Hello. Thank you. Thank you. >> Two controllers.
>> Oh, yeah. Okay. >> Both of them really used. >> Didn't get used much.
>> I got an HDMI port. >> Oh, perfect. >> Nice. >> There it is. I'm now the proud owner of
a disc edition PlayStation 5. This bundle was one of the best actual deals
that we found. Pretty much all the other ones were scammers. Something about the
PS5 and scammers just go together like
this. And this is cool. We actually got a few games. Oh, we got two games. I
think he had said there were going to be three games. Well, Spider-Man and Mortal
Kombat. Shoot. I had actually really wanted the hockey game, but I guess we can go with Mortal Kombat for the
two-player game when the judges arrive. He had said there was NHL 22 as well.
Bomber. Um, this is fun. Because we're
in the gaming minivan, we can actually test it right now. Okay, screen's on.
You ready to find out if this thing works? >> Beep's good.
>> Which one's the Oh, that's the Oh, hey, >> let's go. NHL22. It was in the console.
Just like that, boys. We got ourselves a PlayStation 5. Let's go. I mean, should
we list that game? I think we should list that game. Worst case scenario, we
could just trade it in at Willow. They do trade at >> True. For the PS5 version of Spider-Man,
we're seeing anywhere between $35 and $45, it looks like.
>> Oh, that's not bad. >> Even if Willow were to just trade us the
game for our rentals, that may be worth it. >> I want to check out what they have for
Blu-rays, too, because whether our TV is the best TV or not, I really don't want
to stream these movies if we don't have to. James would definitely notice. I
don't know. >> The audio is noticeably better.
>> I'm going to do a full systems test, start getting these where they need to
be. See if this is going to work for us. And Justin's going to disappear and do
the mount. Hopefully that comes out okay. That's going to probably take a
little while. I trust Justin. He'll do great. So, I think I got this all worked
out now. It's pretty simple. Taken the bottom piece here and made a receptacle
for it at the top that we can just bolt directly into the roof. It'll just kind
of slide and slot in like that and lock into place. This is going to be kind of
risky. It's a 1 day 7-hour print. So, if
anything goes wrong within that time, we might be kind of screwed. How does it
take a day? That's insane. If you can try and get that down to like a four or
five hour print, that would probably be good because that means that we won't be
able to test this or get it installed until tomorrow. Maybe just make it like
a triangular shell or something. Minimum layers. You want fast, you'll get fast,
but it might break. And this will be on you, Dan. My plan is now I'm basically
making a giant GoPro mount. Adjustable angle. Should print fast. Hopefully, we
can just crank it down tight enough it won't tilt or shift. And I mean this way
we have adjustable angle. Oh, upgrade.
The real question is, does it print any faster? 8 hours. Faster. I have to pull
all the tricks out of the hat today to get this to print on time. I hit Dan's
magic number. 6 hours and 26 minutes. That's what That's all he's getting out
of me. One more time.
>> So, we've picked up the couch. It's in pretty good condition. There's a little
bit of pilling, but we can snip that off. >> I'd be stoked putting this in my own
house. I think we did good. Good job. >> Cool. Nice. I'm feeling pretty good
overall. Not relaxed, but good. I'm a
little anxious about uh the shadow decision and stuff like that, but very
curious as to what the heck Lionus is up to.
>> Hey, you guys want to give us a hint? >> Yes. >> Yeah. All right. >> Absolutely.
>> Cool. God, it's awful in here. >> It's so much better with this light.
>> Nice. Nice. O,
>> it's okay. It's not in there. Starting to get a little hectic in here,
>> which is good. Also, you walked in and said it looked awful in here. This is
actually how it was before.
>> Oh, that was worse. >> Also, we can do for movie experience.
>> Okay, >> that's kind of fun. >> Wait, I thought we were taking that
light back. >> Yeah, we made an executive decision. >> Okay,
>> we got free cables. >> Uh, yeah, we got some free speaker wire.
Uh, it's conductive. >> If it works, it works. I
>> Yeah, we almost got scammed on another TV. >> Okay, >> I think we're basically just going to
have to go to Open Box. Yeah, that
Pancrats and I are thinking we're going to hit Willow Video and secure our games
and movies. Has anyone created an actual checklist of everything? Why don't we do
that now? Let's highlight the absolutely
essential things. Yes, agreed. >> Cables. >> Uh, what cables do we need?
>> Speaker, wire, and RCA. >> We need the RCA cable. We need an
Ethernet cable. >> We need a PC.
>> TV is a must. >> Yeah, TV is a must. >> Mounting hardware for like anything.
Everything. Can you make cable management? >> Yeah, we're probably going to need some
wood screws. So, that's probably like $10. Five. Five to$10.
>> We don't know how much a TV is, right? >> Uh, don't forget about movie rentals.
Acoustic treatment is a must. >> $29.50 for two 4x8 sheets.
>> 4x8 is pretty big. >> Yeah, this is a pretty big horrible all
flat surfaces space. So, do we need a rug? This is awful.
>> No. If you can find a free one, sure. But like it's going to be
>> I think we should put rug. We should put it on the list even if we don't bold it. Like we This is the point of this
exercise right now is we get down everything. We have like no decor yet,
>> but we're printing stuff. It's free. I messaged a lot of wall art people for
free, like the free ones. I'm just waiting to hear back. >> Okay. So, we send you guys to Willow
Video. We could do paint store and TV. >> Yeah. >> And then we'll get Home Depot
>> mounting hardware >> and then speaker wire. >> Speaker wire. We don't need scout it. If
it's there, >> if it's there and cheap, >> great. If it's not, then then don't take
it. I think we can live without surrounds. We might have to live without
surround speakers because I'm just really worried we're not going to get that big TV. I mean,
>> a 3.1 setup is already good. >> It's going to be pretty nice in a room
like this, I think. >> We're back. >> We got a couch
>> and it didn't fall off the highway. >> Oh my god. It's like actually a really
nice >> Oh my god, it looks sick. >> It's like probably one of the nicest couches at the office at all.
>> Yeah, we probably will reuse this for sure. >> Yeah, >> they are perfect.
>> It's genuinely like pretty comfy. >> Yeah, the foam's pretty nice.
>> 375 bucks. >> Okay. Hell yeah, brother.
What's going on? I think this is the demo. >> Oh, dang, dude.
>> We need to get a sub, >> but we can get one cheap.
>> Like $50 cheap. >> Yeah.
>> Okay, that's not bad. >> This is better than half the nightclubs
in Vancouver. >> Oh, >> I need some more wires, but I think I
dropped some at home, so we may have some more. >> Okay,
>> let me just do a movie if this will work.
Yeah, we use >> Cyberpunk with this audio. That'd be
sick. >> This is legit. >> And that speaker is behind the couch. And we're missing a center channel. It's
going to be sick. >> And then here we're going to do a rug. I
think it was like a fluffy little white rug that Luke found on Marketplace for
25 bucks. We're going to do the center table here. So, I'm thinking we do a
floor lamp either here or here. If we can get a cheap poster that we can hang
on the wall, that would be really great. Right now, I'm going to see if I'm good
to maybe stop by a Valley Village or a thrift store, maybe find some new throw
blankets or pillows for really cheap. >> There you go. Assuming you guys aren't
buying a lot of stuff. >> I I hope it's not this much. >> It's a thrift store. So, if you guys
find really good cable management stuff and whatnot, though, like might want to
just do it. >> So, I got 825 bucks left. >> Okay. No, I did buy something. about
Shadow. 51.51 I think was the price.
>> Now, is that handling our games? >> The games we haven't bought yet.
>> How much are the games? 12238. >> Yeah. Well, maybe. We didn't exactly
search that long. What else do we still need? >> What's a thing and thing buying?
>> They're going to Value Village trying to find throw pillows. They don't have a
fixed price. They're just going. >> We have found the throw blankets. Don't
know how the brown would work. This one is really soft. Oh, this one's $19.99.
That's definitely out of our price range. Let's see. How much is this one?
$5.79. We might have to go with this one. $10 for a throw pillow. That is
insanity. >> Uh Dan, we should get controllers.
>> Oh, we might want to get like three. Are all the games single player? No,
Returnal is multiplayer. >> No, it's not. >> Yeah, it is.
>> What? Oh, they added it. My gamer knowledge is more advanced. Wow. Wow.
Co-op. So, I have bad news, but hopefully resolvable news. The
experience on Shadow right now is just bad. Uh, the input latency is very
palpable. Like, it's not good. And if I
run a speed test, I can see that my latency is 68. This morning when I
tested it multiple times on multiple devices, it was like 9. 68 also doesn't
make a ton of sense. Just a Portland. So, I did a what is my IP address and
it's coming up as Montreal. I'm not entirely sure what to do. I will try to
contact customer support or something, but like I'm pretty sure my rig is
installed in the wrong location, and I would not have done this if I knew it
was going to be in Montreal. So, something's got to be fixed. That being
said, I am installing the games. They're downloading really fast, and I can still
test performance, but right now, the experience is bad. So, that's not good.
>> Okay. Uh, what did we get? We got ourselves a Razor keyboard on the cheap,
which was pretty sweet. Some speaker wire, a APC power bar, extension cord
for Dan. >> I grabbed this thing. Has a little bit of texture. And then a darker accent
pillow. Hopefully it'll work. It looks pretty new. Looks pretty nice. We spent
$50 just under total. >> Yeah, just under 50 bucks.
>> 50 bucks. >> Jesus Christ. Go into a hotel and steal
stuff from the lobby. >> All right, Sammy and I are on our way to
go get that floating table thing. Um, apparently he set it out in front for us
to pick up. >> Oh, I see it. >> Okay. Okay, >> this looks cool.
>> Okay. And then we're going to head over to get a rug. >> My problem was that the controllers
weren't previously budgeted for and them dropping all that money. I know it's
only 50 bucks, but we're >> that's 2% 3% of the budget. >> I'm freaking out about the PC budget cuz
right now we need a computer, we need lighting, we need things for the walls,
we need controllers, we need a keyboard and mouse. They have a keyboard, so we
need a mouse. We need cable management. >> We can do two controllers tomorrow, but
they are like wired, unfortunately. I'm trying to get some Bluetooth ones, but
those are going to be like 20 bucks each if these people >> wired might be the way to go.
>> Yeah, we'll see. We'll wait till tomorrow. I would like a sub, but that's
not super important. There's a bunch for like 10 bucks, 15 bucks that we can do.
>> We need shelves for each side of the couch. I think that's decently important. >> Yeah, those are 10 bucks. But the thing
is like the 3D printer's tied up until tomorrow because I could wall mount the
speakers today if I had access to the 3D printer. It's going to be another three
and a half hours to print something that's like an inch tall. >> Yeah, I wish we got a discount on that
projector mount. >> David said that we can run cables through the walls.
>> Okay. >> If they're not big holes, so we don't have to worry so much about cable cable
management. >> Exactly. >> What's our budget for cable management? >> I think you had like 50 bucks or
something in here. >> I sure did. >> So that uh that fixes the up that
the other two did at Value Village. >> Hey, let's go.
>> So, we just picked up the rug. It's pretty nice. The lady was really nice.
We picked up everything. >> We don't need three of the tables
because I can design mounts. One of the neat things I can do is because we have
the screws in here is I can make a mount that attaches onto the screw. So, this
holds onto it there. And then we just drle a big hole through the wall and I
make a 3D printed nut that goes on the other side. So, we don't have to buy
more screws to attach things.
>> Oh my goodness. >> That's how I'm going to do the projector screen, too. I've got Xbox controllers
available. They're 20 bucks each or 80 for five.
>> They're all Bluetooth. >> Yeah, two of them. 40 bucks. Or we wait
till tomorrow for 15 for the wired ones, but they might be kind of eh.
>> Do you think you could haggle them down to 15 each for four? So 60. Alaska.
>> Moment of truth. >> Actually, this looks really nice. >> Yeah, it's pretty nice. I I like the
little pattern marbling on it. I wish it was a little
>> whiter shark stain on the end there. >> Nobody will notice.
>> This should help with sound dampening. >> This is the keyboard. It's a little
dusty, but it cleans up. >> I mean, it's better than nothing. What
are the games we need? We need Red Dead Returnal
>> Cyber Punk. >> And we're hoping to get money back for
>> Spider-Man Miles Morales and Mortal Kombat something.
>> Does Willow do rentals, too? >> Yes. That's why we are here.
>> Let's see what we've got. >> Yeah. What's up, Pigrats?
>> Some not great news. We can't get rentals for any of the things that we're
looking for from Willow. We can get a
$15 credit for the Spider-Man game. Uh,
they didn't want the Mortal Kombat one because it doesn't have a book. >> Wow, that really is not great news.
>> They do have Red Dead Redemption here and they do have Returnal here. Red Dead
Redemption was >> $30. >> $30. So, we could effectively get it for
15 bucks if we take that 15 credit. Returnal is $40, but we could get PS+
for 1 month for $25. That includes Returnal, so we may as well do that.
>> Oh, ball sack. No Cyberpunk. >> No Cyber Punk. >> No Cyber Punk here at all. I did find a
listing for Cyberpunk PS4, which does
have a free PS5 upgrade at EV Games.
$32.99 for a used copy of that. >> Oh my gosh.
>> That's one game, right? What choice do we have right now? >> So, we'd get Red Dead then here.
>> Yeah. All right. Thanks for the update, guys. We're just arriving at the mall
where openbox.ca seems to be. Uh, we'll let you guys know what's up. Bye,
gentlemen. >> The closest cyberpunk that's in stock
that's used as well is in Kquitam. So, I want to get them to pick it up there.
>> They want us to pick up Cyber Punk near Kitam Center. Perfect. >> Okay, we're right there. Nice. It's
right there. Top tag electronic. >> Wait, that's it?
Good luck to us. >> We got one. >> One.
>> It was upside down. >> I know. It's not.
>> It fits with the mood. >> I kind of assumed that this location would be like the other ones and have
lots of room. It looks tiny. Basically,
what I'm looking for, they had a 75-in model at the other location that I think
was 550 with a free soundbar. Do you guys have the same deal here?
>> The 75 in Samsung. >> Yeah, it's a Samsung.
>> 75 in it is inside. And another bomb
bomb sale. It is LG LG soundbar. Yeah. >> Does it have the deal with the free
soundbar? >> Uh, >> the other two locations did have it. I'm
a little stressed. This really wasn't the deal that I wanted, but we're going to make something. We'll get something.
>> We'll make it work. >> I make a call to the manager and he said
that it ends on 5th 15th. >> On the 15th?
>> Yeah. >> I was just there yesterday.
Okay. I guess I'll have to go to the other location. Hi there. I was in
yesterday and you guys had a $750 Samsung TV with a free soundbar deal
running. Nobody told me yesterday when I said
that I was thinking I would come back that it was expired. Are you guys still
able to honor it?
I just walked in and the the rug is down there now. It's starting to look so much
better with the throw in the pillow. Dude, I feel like I got to take my shoes
off before I come in here. Jeez. Uh, what I'm trying to do right now is set
up this, which is similar to something that I'm shopping for, including the
ports and a integrated GPU version. I want to plug it all in and make sure
video and sound both happen. And if that's true, it'll probably be fine.
>> People keep leaving the door open, and I think one of them got a good look at it,
but I want more of them, too. So, I'm just going to hide all of our decor. I
don't want them to get any ideas, you know, cuz I don't think Lionus is going
to think about throw pillow and blanket. I saw they have big ass speakers in
front and the center console down there, but I think it looks very like 2000. I
mean, it would make sense cuz it's Linus' team. So, >> yeah, I am now hooking up the mini the
mini PC to the receiver and wherever the
projector is. I'm going to try to get it all kind of running and then I'm going
to call Dan over and we'll try to figure it out.
Well, step one complete. >> Yeah, it definitely works.
>> We don't actually know where the projector is, so we could hook up the screen, but I turned the computer on and
all the speakers just played the like Windows boot sound. So, clearly at least
that part's working. Now, I need to make sure the projector end works. And then,
despite the lag, cuz I'm hoping I can fix that through customer support, I'm
going to run shadow on it. We'll see how it deals with that. Where's the
projector? Oh, we should be there. Might be under this box
>> or either of those blue ones. >> I don't think so. Maybe Justin has it.
>> All right. Trying to go hunt down half our budget. >> It's only 45%.
>> I don't even know what to say. We can't find the projector.
What a statement. They don't have it. Do you have it? Do
you find it? What the?
>> You're freaking me out, Dan. Nobody listen to me when I talk.
>> We need that projector. He needs to test this. We're running out of time. We're
running out of budget. >> God, >> free soundbar deal seems to be expired.
Between these games and not having that soundbar to potentially flip, we're in a
little bit of trouble here. >> Scrap your voice. >> This time we transform a completely
empty room into an epic gaming movie
watching paradise. Our budget $1,400.
Our judges will be looking at the gaming experience, the movie experience, and
yes, even the vibes. This is a lot of work to do. How are we supposed to get
everything done in time with a little help from some old friends?
I don't even know what to say. We can't find the projector.
>> It was in the room. I don't think it's left. >> It's not in the room. >> I saw it this morning when Dan was
testing things on it. >> You're freaking me out, Dan. Oh my god.
Where did you put it? >> Okay, >> I know where it is. I announced it in
front of everyone. People keep leaving the door open and I think one of them
got a good look at it, but I want more of them, too. So, I'm just going to hide
all of our decor. >> What's going Oh, we're hiding it. >> Cuz people keep leaving the door open.
>> Hide the >> No, >> we just didn't listen to our teammate.
>> Okay. >> Nobody listened to me when I talked. >> You should sit down, grab a tissue, be
crying here, and I'll water. >> I'll console you. >> All I was trying to do was like,
>> yeah, but why would you put it? >> But why would you check under?
>> We need that projector. He needs to test it that we're running out of time. We're
running out of budget. You spent all this money at Value Village and then you
hide our >> Here's the situation. The 75in TV with
the free soundbar deal yesterday expired yesterday. >> Can I honor it?
>> He said we just do whatever headquarter says. He gave me the number to call.
>> Hi there. Um, you guys had a 75-in TV uh
with a free soundbar promotion running and I dropped by the other location
that's a bit closer to home today and they said that they can't honor that. If
I come to the Surrey location, can you guys do it? >> Can I call back to you like in 10
minutes? >> Um, sure. Yeah, thank you. What we need to do now is we need to go by Cyberpunk
DB games. >> Okay, we can do that first. >> We just stopped by Habitat for Humanity.
They have a bunch of stuff here that could be good fallbacks, but nothing
that was compelling enough to buy right now. There's some paint. There's an
Ethernet cable if we need to come back for an Ethernet cable. >> $5 Ethernet cable. There is cheap paint,
though. 10 bucks for small, 20 bucks for medium. Should we just call them?
>> Yeah. >> Here's the sitch. The free soundbar deal seems to be expired.
>> Oh gosh. >> We're not having a great day so far here. We haven't actually been to the
paint store yet, so I don't know how competitive those prices are. As for the
Ethernet cable, have we hit the Value Village yet? >> No, not yet.
>> Do you guys want to swing by? Otherwise, I do think five bucks is probably as
cheap as retail is going to be. >> They They've got a whole bunch here, too. >> Just make sure the deal doesn't expire
today. Dang it. Between these games and not having that soundbar to potentially
flip, we're in a little bit of trouble here. Theoretically, we can upgrade our
PS4 version of Cyberpunk to a PS5 version. This is what we're here for.
>> Okay. >> Hi there. I'm getting back to you on the soundbar offer that we have open up up
until yesterday. >> Yes, >> we can honor the deal as long as the TV
that you're buying is $1,000 and above.
>> Oh, the one that I was going to buy was that uh that $550 Samsung though.
>> Okay. Uh so, you know what? Uh I think this one should be fine. You can come at
our store and then we would give you a sound for free with this one.
>> Okay. Thank you very much. Really appreciate your flexibility. >> Let's go.
>> Stopped by Value Village. looked at a few things there. There's some copies of
the movies there if we want to pick them up on Blu-ray, which is great, but we're
going to wait until we see if we have the budget for that. They had the
cables, but they were like five bucks. So, we went across the street to another
thrift store. We found our $1 cable.
Finally, one thing. I got the display
and the sound working off of the mini PC. We've got our displays both showing,
even though one of them is not actually a display. Now, the idea is download
Shadow, get in a game, and yes, I understand the input latency is going to
be trash right now because for whatever reason, it's sending me to Montreal. But
if I ignore the input latency, if it
looks good, if the video encoding is good, outside of input latency, if it's
good, then this is the route we're going to go. The bar is moving up. It doesn't
still a lot of confidence when it just flashes like that.
It >> says start now again. Okay, this one's $5 wireless mouse,
>> but it's all the way out in Burnaby. >> I'm just messaging a bunch of them cuz
there seems to be a bunch of really cheap like wireless mice to be honest.
As long as it works. >> So, is this the other operating system?
>> This is Shadow. >> Oo, it's working great.
>> The Cyber Punk is loading. >> Sure, but someday.
>> At least the couch you're waiting on is nice. >> Okay, that's pretty that's pretty okay.
We're in menus. Latency wise is noticeable.
>> I mean, you're not trying to play valor or like CS or anything.
>> We might also legitimately benefit from like suggesting the controllers for
games. >> Yeah, >> cuz you don't feel it as much. Oh, it's
chugging. >> Yeah, that's horrible.
>> Half success. We got our screws. They cost $9. Be better if they were cheaper,
but we couldn't get better. We didn't get the acoustic panels because we
realized it's $30 for one sheet as opposed to $30 for two sheets. And we're
thinking we're going to pick some acoustic panels off marketplace later
today. >> I called in earlier about the 75 in open
box with the soundbar bundle. >> 75 in, right?
>> Yeah. Just saying the other sound. >> There's your TV.
>> Yep. That's a television. What's the soundbar worth anyway? >> We have it, I think, for $1.99.
>> Oh, okay. Okay. That's 620. Oh yeah, there we go.
That's the ticket. There we go.
>> Nice. >> While we were eating lunch, I was looking at my phone and I found a free
chair and free coffee table for pickup in my building. So, we're going to pick
that up at the end of the day. Jeez. Here we go.
Oh, buddy. We sweet talked them. >> Free soundbar
>> into this free soundbar. >> More sound. >> Retail $200. So, we should probably get
this listed ASAP. the sound panels. It was $30 for one 4x8, not $30 for two
4x8. We were thinking we'll pivot to these. We think these will probably do a
better job. >> How much is it? >> It's about the same. We should get the
other stuff >> if we're fine with just like painting that other stuff and slapping it on.
>> I didn't get paint. >> Not yet. >> But first things first, we need to get
this TV unpacked. >> Okay. Small oversight.
>> We can always We can put it under. Could we 3D print feet for that and then maybe
3D print some little risers for those feet? Cuz that looks pretty good to me.
He'll come up with something. Let him cook. Let him cook. >> Should I run and get that acoustic
material and get paint with Natalie while you guys get it wired?
>> I don't think we're getting any more things right now, right? >> The only thing is the PC.
>> Oh, yeah. Do you guys want to go get that PC? >> We really don't want to pay for that.
>> Well, especially considering what it is. >> What is it? >> An old AMD APU.
>> We do need some sort of power bar eventually. >> Oh, no. If you find something in your
travels, >> I'm a little stressed. This is really coming down to the wire. Let's have a
look at some distance. 350 to 500 square
ft per gallon. But these are all horrible. Like, what are these off
yellows? They were clearly trying to color match something and did not nail
it on the first try. Here, >> there's a Sharon Williams down the
street. >> Do you want to go check it out first? >> Yeah. >> We still don't have a rug or anything,
so it still has that very >> necessary. I do think a rug would cozy
it up a fair bit if we sell the soundbar. That's something I'd be advocating for.
>> I just got a message for the soundbar.
Looking for a hundred bucks on it. I'm just going to run it past the group, but
I think that's a good sale. >> $100 sale for the soundbar. Okay.
>> Oh, that's great. Yeah. Yeah. Do it. >> Do it.
>> A gallon for 10. Okay. Is >> that good? >> Oh, yeah. I like the price. We got some
Here's a It's a blue. >> No, I'm talking about the >> Well, I don't worry about it. For bonus
points, I would love to have a color for the accent wall
>> and then I would love to have enough of it to also paint the acoustic materials.
>> Okay. >> Oh, wo. Hello. >> Ooh. Wait. I like that's not bad.
>> Are you feeling this >> accent? That's actually nice. That's like gamer color. The blue pink.
>> All right. Let's do it. >> Got both of them. Don't drop it. Bliss.
>> Let's go. >> So, we found a buyer. >> Oh, we have a buyer. >> So, hopefully this guy shows at 5:30 and
then we've got an extra 100 bucks. That's basically our knick-knacks and
decor budget right there. Like, we would have had nothing left. I'm starting to
feel pretty good about our setup now. I'm a lot less upset about like blowing
$20 on some garbage PC, you know? I still don't love it.
>> I don't know why we're so adverse to spending 20 bucks on that garbage PC.
>> Should we just rebel? >> I mean, we're getting the hundred bucks back. >> Are we that stretched now that we've got
the extra hundred bucks coming in from the soundbar? >> It's not that we're that stretched. It's
just that I'm worried that every last dollar is going to count here. Like Luke
will be calling every little mom and pop computer store to ask if they have like
a garbage e-waste thing that they'd have to pay to get rid of. I just want to
make sure that we're being as hungry as the other team here.
>> If you want to go that route, someone other than me can try calling my old
work. They typically did have a bunch of stuff that was just going to go get
recycled. >> All right, let's give it a shot. Do you have any computers that you'd be going
to e-waste or recycling that boots into Windows, but we could pick up off of you
for free? >> Just at first glance, it doesn't seem like we have anything right away, but uh
we might have a bunch of them out in our uh storage. If you can't, if I could
give you a call back after checking, I can let you know for sure.
>> That would be amazing. >> So, we found a subwoofer for
>> I'm picking up a free one tonight. >> Well, if it doesn't work out. Yeah, we
can grab that. >> Have another one for 35 that's listed for 100 of everywhere else.
>> Cool. >> I found two side tables. Oh, I think
it's sold. Sorry. >> Once the mount print finishes printing,
I'm going to start the speaker mounts. >> Okay.
>> So, the front three will be wall mounted. So, that shouldn't be too much of a concern. One of the issues that I
just realized is because we flipped the room around. >> Yes.
>> The projector needs to get mounted in the center. >> Wait, why? cuz the projector screen is
on the outside. These are the two rooms. Originally, we're going to put the
projector here and have the screen here. And so, we would bring in the cart and
then we would just do that right here. But now we have to do the cart and then
go all the way to the middle of the two. >> Oh, so it's not a cabling thing. It's a
difficulty thing. >> It's a difficulty thing. So, I'm going to go check on that. >> I understand this does not solve your
problem, but do we still have the scissor lift? >> Yeah, I have the key. >> Might help a little bit.
>> We're doing it with the scissor lift. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a I'm team
player. >> But we haven't locked into the computer. >> No, but what I did do was I ran Shadow
and checked how the computer was performing. Yeah. And I'm 95% certain
that a $120 computer from that place you
recommended. It's one generation older than that computer. That computer was
barely caring about needing to do >> Yeah. It was at like 30% usage.
>> Yeah. So, it it'll be fine. >> So, it should be fine. >> Here we go. This is what we're looking
for. These are about the same size as that TV. Hey, so they should fit.
>> Oh my goodness. This is This is longer than the TV, Natalie. >> That's crazy. It's shedding.
>> I can try and shove it a little further. How about now? >> Yes.
>> Okay. >> Yeah, we're good. The second one.
>> Nice. Okay. We're 3 minutes out from the thrift store and then that's our last
stop and then we're heading back to the office for I mean for pencils down
basically. I don't get to paint till tomorrow which is
>> power bar and Ethernet. Maybe I can see why they uh didn't bother over here. $20
for a VGA cable? I think not. Yeah, I don't think we're going to find anything
reasonable here. This just seems out to lunch in terms of pricing.
>> Any paintings here? >> Wow. Is that actual film from like is
this kind of Is this a thing? It's five bucks. >> We'll think about it.
>> Here. >> Is that a >> strap? Come back for it.
>> I don't remember. >> Well, that was a disappointment. It's totally like thrift store central over
there. There's another one right there. Are they closed? Oh no.
>> 6 minutes a >> actually. This is the one that has the
cheap cable we need. We'll have to come back in the morning. >> That's fine.
>> In other news, Sebastian says we have a PC.
>> Perfect. Thank you very much. >> Let's go. >> That's great news because we arrived at
the thrift store 5 minutes after it closed and we do not have an Ethernet
cable.
>> Yeah, the bass rolls off a lot. I don't like it, but it's not bad. Hey, look at
that. It's all working. So, is it good? >> We haven't hooked up the PlayStation
yet, but everything else is working. >> Do these sound okay? >> Yeah. No, the speakers sound great. It's
mainly the rolloff on the subwoofer. >> What about the guy who's buying the
soundbar? >> Uh, he's about 10 minutes away. >> Okay.
>> And we've got that free computer. >> We got a free computer. That's true. >> Yeah, it's from my old work.
>> They seem like bros. We should shout them out. Who are they? >> Stratum Systems. >> Stratum Systems.
>> Luke used them last year with Elijah. I walked him out to the CCAN. Ah,
>> that's really the state. >> Hey there.
>> Awesome. >> Thank you. >> Got the deal done. That is a fast turnar
around. This is going to be a bit inconvenient in the morning, but you guys are going to have to basically
clear this room while I do it. No, >> it's fine. >> I've got to pick up the computer
according to rules. I've got to start at 9:00. >> We want to do that this free artwork as
well in the morning when you're going. >> I like it. I think it's really cool.
>> Does it work yet? >> Yeah. >> So, I got to I got to whisper a little
bit, >> but Cyber Punk, if I remember correctly,
it's like 5060. Returnal's 60 average on the dot.
>> That's 1080. Everything's uh 1080, I think.
>> Nope. Cyberpunk's 1440. >> This is what I mean. Yeah. Yeah, >> it's acting better now. It It's GPU
drivers out of date. I'm going to turn this puppy off. I sort of just stopped
cooking the room. One thing, they started bumping music while I was there.
Their sub is awesome. Their speaker setup is probably very good. I'm going
to go pick up that free sub after work. >> I forgot about that.
>> Oh. Uh, the guy from the controller said, "Uh, no to the 60."
>> Should we have four controllers like spled out? >> I think four is going to blow our budget
out. >> Yeah, I would rather three.
>> Is three 60 bucks? >> That gives us a little bit of wiggle
room. >> Yeah, they're 20 bucks each. >> I think that's pretty sick. I think we
should get those three. We also found like a whole slew of free like wood and
metal materials to go pick up tomorrow as well too that we >> none of them are replying and the one
guy who replied said there's other people wanting to pick it up already.
>> Well, okay. >> Something to seriously consider is just reclaiming materials. You don't have
that much time left though. >> Where are we at on the lighting situation?
>> I'm hoping this guy will reply soon. Um
I messaged and offered full price. >> Okay. >> Hello. Can you Oh, yes, they replied.
>> That's for the lamp. >> $30 lamp. tomorrow, uh, between 2 to 4.
Tomorrow, I think we actually need like two groups of people going and picking
up stuff at the same time. >> Yeah, cool. >> Yeah. Yeah, >> let's do it. >> Also, with your computer guy, we might
be able to save tax if you pull the old cash thing cuz I know a lot of like
small computer stores will do that, >> which I might just do after hours cuz I
can do pickups after hours. >> That's pickup. Yeah. >> So, I'm just going to go do that tonight.
>> Look what I got. We got Woofer. >> Nice. >> The guy had some more speaker.
>> Nice. >> I do have good news. maybe on the computer. I have to test it obviously,
but it's one generation behind the one that I tested with that we had here, but
it has the same generation of Intel quicks sync. We got a DVD drive. We're
never going to use that, so I don't know what that means. This came out to final
price $110 after tax. >> Oh,
>> with the cable. And then I gave him 150 bucks and he gave me 220s in change cuz
they didn't have other change than that. Saved $2 more. I have a bunch of stuff
lined up for vibes. So, I have the side tables lined up. I have um the lamp
lined up uh for today. Both pickup >> nice warm bulb.
>> Yeah, I think the bulb is what I'm a little worried about. >> And while you're at Princess Auto, if
you get the kind of the hardware that I need for either mounting the speakers or
the projector and stuff like that. >> Okay, so before I we go, let's make a
hardware list of what we actually need. >> And I'm going to start working on the
audio system immediately. These parts are all printed. They've got some pass
through for speaker wire. And they've got another pass through here. God, I
hope this fits uh for the pin that's going to go through the wall and tie
them into the wall without needing screws or anything like that. Those will
go like this, I think. And then they'll be adjustable angle-wise, which would be
kind of good. And then I printed these chunky boys to hold the projector
screen. I'll drill some holes for these. I modeled one of the carabiners, so they
should be able to hold these. These are PET G. Uh hopefully it doesn't come
crashing off the wall. We'll see. Justin's mount for the projector
finished yesterday. So hopefully that works. Hopefully it doesn't fall on the
people who are judging us. But it should be adjustable, which will be kind of
nice as long as we can get it mounted properly and get up onto that ceiling.
We'll be okay. I guess I should start mapping out where these speakers are
going to be and see if I can get them mounted cuz those really got to go in like now. No.
>> Did you get a response from the sound treatment guy? >> I'm just waiting for an answer when we
can pick up. They are 9 1/2 ft tall by 13 in wide. So they're not super wide,
but they're really tall. >> That's fine. >> The paneling people, uh, they're
actually just a store, so you can go in and give them a call.
>> It's a new day, a new scrapyard wars
>> chair. This looks great. >> Free chair for my apartment. Also, I
brought my paint sprayer, not for the room that I'm gonna roll and brush, but
rather for the any panels or anything that we need. >> Oh, for anything else.
>> We can just kind of just go outside the bay door and just kind of spray down
anything that we want. >> And we want to bring the TV out, I'm guessing.
>> I would say TV out. >> Yeah, >> just in case Lionus knocks it over.
>> I wouldn't do that.
Oh, that's fine. I'm going to paint it.
Cool. All right, that's much better.
>> Hey, David. What's up, David? >> I'm going to need a bigger vehicle to
pick up this frame thing. It is not going to fit in the back of the Kia. I
brought my bigger vehicle, but it's probably about 4t wide and close to 6
feet tall. It's a lot bigger than I thought. >> Shoot. I didn't bring my minivan today.
>> We have the truck so we could come get it. >> Stuff was bound to go wrong today.
>> What, buddy? Oh god, it's spilling already. The can's so dented that
there's no room in it to shake the material
and cut can. Why a 10ft ceiling, David?
>> Oh, yeah. No, I can't reach. >> Oh, thank you. That's very helpful. If
you can't reach the ceiling with that one, I don't know what to tell you. >> Hey,
>> this guy's okay with us picking up right now for 40. It would fit on top. My
concern is because this one isn't floating, we can't do like a two-tiered
thing. >> One thing that we could do is use the floating table as the amp table.
>> Acoustic panel guy just got back to me. Uh he said if we want to come early, we
can let him know as well, too. We'll grab that. We'll grab the sound panels
and then go to Princess Auto. >> Yep. >> And then come back. Yeah, >> cablewise, Dan, we are just needing the
two long HDMI cables. >> Yeah, unless this one doesn't work. I
can always text you about the cables. >> Okay. >> I still need that 20 ft HDMI
>> cuz we got to go from here outside up to
there and then into the projector. And then your extension cable can reach
around too, the one you got. Cuz we got to get power up there, too.
>> It should be long enough. >> I don't think so. >> Not if we're routing out the out.
>> Yeah, we got to we got to get it to the projector cuz that also needs power. Get
a proper extension cable, too. >> Yeah. So, side table first because this
guy needs to leave his house by 12. >> Okay, then we need to go now. >> Truck key. Truck key.
>> Um, truck key is over at the other building. Um, >> so Seb's taking Oh crap. And the truck
limitation is so annoying. I really wish they just rented a U-Haul or something.
>> Confidence is a little shaky at the moment. Hopefully, we can get the vibe
stuff done cuz that's kind of the stuff that's missing. I'm a little concerned
about the projector and I'm a little concerned that this DisplayPort to HDMI
cable is not working.
It works >> extremely relieved.
Plan is we're going to chop this up. We're going to make it in triangles that
look better. And then Lionus is going to paint it and we'll put it in the room.
>> Free eighth gen computer. >> What eighth gen? This is the type of
stuff that they recycle. >> Does it work? >> It should. >> Absolutely brilliant.
>> Okay, truck's here. >> This person's ready for pickup. >> Yes. Yes. He's like waiting at home.
He's got to leave in an hour. I will message him and let him know that you
guys are going to Yeah. First stop. We're going to get tables and maybe some
sound panels. >> Yes, >> we also need controllers still. We have
the budget for controllers, but we haven't actually locked any down. People
aren't being very good about responses. Feeling okay. I've got good news and
good news. >> Okay, >> the ceiling is weightbearing, but I
might fall and die, so I got to be careful. >> Okay,
>> I better start thinking about how to get these speaker mounts mounted. should
really test to see if they work. >> And this mount as well.
>> This one doesn't have the screw in it. >> Oh, we need to do we need to buy screws.
Do you want me to tell them? >> The one at my desk has a screw. We have
like two screws. >> Well, at least try the screws that we have, I guess.
>> Yeah, that should work fine. My mount works as intended. At least it feels
nice and sturdy. I'm going to roll this wall and we're going to see kind of how
this is going to look. I realized as I was working on this and Pancrats told me
this that these are not actually drywall walls. So, I was trying to figure out
why the heck it's so hard to cut a clean line in the corners. One, I'm rusty.
Two, I'm in a hurry. And three, there
are no clean lines in the corners. So, it's a little more challenging than it
would otherwise be. But, we're going to do our best with it. And overall, I
think the effect will be better than if we just left it white and dank in here.
All right, here we go. Big moment.
We have two different colors. We're going to do an accent wall to my left,
and it's uh like a deep red, almost pink. I hope it covers. Okay.
It's not my finest work, but I do think that it improves the look of the room a
lot. It's really slow going because of how rough the wall is. Like, look at
this. But I'm doing my best with it.
>> This is a lot of
tables acquired. This one has a usage stain, but that wasn't a surprise. He
didn't try to hide it. It was in the picture, so we knew that was coming. And
it's definitely not the worst one I've seen. >> No, definitely not. Should be fine. I
mean, they're okay shape. >> 40 bucks. They look like decently nice.
>> Yeah, >> this one I think we put on the side. Yeah,
>> we just put something on >> something without it. It's fine.
>> We are now going to go get uh the cool
looking sound panels and then we're probably going to head back to the office and then I suspect honestly maybe
just go right back out >> cuz we need to go to >> pick auto cuz Dan is currently just
working out what hardware he needs for the speakers. >> We haven't really done anything yet.
We've just sort of talked about stuff and bought things. Like Dan was talking
about routing all those wires through the wall, but we haven't started. That's
starting to give me a little bit of anxiety.
>> Mounting the projector, too. >> Yeah, projector's not mounted.
>> I think we might be a little cooked.
I think the other team is a little farther ahead. I better get
going with this.
Good enough.
Oh god, it's going to work. Sammy just got back to me and uh the guy with that
had five Xbox One controllers that he was selling for 20 bucks each replied
back and so she can go pick them up. >> So we don't actually want five though.
>> We're getting three, but 20 bucks each. That's mint. We are picking up sound
paneling. It should have an aesthetic nature to it as well, ideally because I
think it has uh like wooden slats. I'm
going to I'm going to let Sammy choose. This is this is her department.
>> Okay. I'm going to take a look. Um
probably 0 92s.
>> 092. >> Yeah, but I think that one's the closest
to the table >> or the top one if they don't have that
in case. Okay. Bye-bye. Thank you. >> What was the pricing and sizing again?
>> So, we got a foot wide and 9 foot 3 ft tall and each panel is 40.
>> Oh, okay. The listing had said 30. >> Yeah, we do have that as well. Uh, it's
the lighter panel. >> Oh, okay. >> Lighter colors are cheaper. We can just
go with the lighter ones cuz it's $20 total that we're saving.
>> Okay. So, we're going to do two of these guys. >> Cool.
>> I think that makes sense. >> I think that works.
>> Okay. So, we got the sound panels. They're in the back and uh luckily
they're actually probably going to be safe. We have to go back to the office
now to drop them off and then go get
controllers and go to Princess Auto to get cabling connectivity stuff things to
do. Hopefully the other team is uh I
don't know experiencing some form of disaster. I hope Lionus caused it as
well. I'm going to add that part. I hope the rest of his team is actually having
a fantastic day. >> Time's going to be tight. >> Yep.
>> We've got 5 hours left today. Lionus isn't done painting.
>> 2 hours tomorrow. >> We've got all those triangles that still have to be painted before they go up.
And we can't do anything in the room till painting's done. >> I don't want to alarm anybody, but I
might be running out of this blue paint. And here's the thing. Even if we have
budget left over to buy a brand new can of paint, this is a mistint. They
literally can't make it for us. We need to pick stuff up.
>> That shouldn't take more than an hour. >> No. And that gives times for Linus.
>> Which side's the couch? That side's the couch. I might not paint behind the couch.
>> Power bar. Light. No light.
>> So, >> light. No light. We're good. >> Oh, it >> $3.
>> Oh, do we need like blankets and stuff? This actually looks kind of nice. Kind
of goes with the accent wall. Seven bucks. >> Should we get it? >> Let's get it.
>> We could get books for 25 cents. >> Sure. Yo, we just got scammed at a
thrift store. This supposed to be 25 cents. When we got to the register, just
like 250, whatever for the vibes. So, we got a blanket. Might need to vacuum it,
but I mean that's fine for the vibes, right? And then we got this um janky ass
power bar that looks like it's going to burn by itself. It'll be fine. We just
need it to last for like 2 hours or
maybe four.
So, we hid Oh, is this Lionus ought to be a good one for I think to win James'
points. Five bucks. This is kind of cool. Oo, more books. Are these actually
a dollar? >> They're $129. Is there like a really
stupid kids book that we can get? Grumpy Monkey.
>> That's pretty cute. Hey, it matches the cat. >> Wait, hold on.
>> Oh, we can get both. >> Grumpy Monkey. Grumpy cat.
>> Okay, perfect. Awesome. Thank you so much. >> Done the blue. Want to see how much
paint I have left? That's it. We're pretty lucky we got
this done. Time to switch over to the red. It's 1:30 already. All right. I
haven't shaken this one yet. Shake my baby. That is a pretty fine
looking color pair. My tools are still wet, which normally would not be ideal,
but I don't really have a choice, so we're going to have to go for it. Last
wall, then I got to paint those other pieces.
>> $5. >> $5. >> RGB lighting.
>> Oh, they're $15. >> Where would we put it? >> We can put it under the cab. Uh, under
the TV thing. >> This is one single strip, >> I think. So,
>> just need to >> Yeah, >> let's do it. >> Sure. >> Do we want to pick up a rug?
>> I think what we do is we go back and then possibly you go pick up a rug.
>> I'm getting worried on time, especially because it's going to hit 2:00 and we
haven't done anything in the room other than paint. >> Man, I'm close, you guys. I'm sorry. I'm
working. >> I'm going to go get the wall art from 105.
>> You're going to total up money and spend all of it. >> There is a little bit of money that
needs to go to other David for the PS+
subscription. >> Got it. >> We have this. Natalie, you're gonna head out again, right?
>> Yeah. >> Do you want to pick up Dark Knight from Valley Village?
>> Yeah. Send me the >> Do you want the extra Blu-ray points for getting Return of the King on Blu-ray as
well, or >> We have money. And then we're going to get this. It's kind of nice. 80 bucks.
It's adjustable.
God, I hope this works.
>> Nope, it does not. Because the speakers
are a little bit heavy and I made these print fast. Uh there's some rotation
when they kind of sag down a bit. So I just kind of locked them together by
melting them cuz the position is pretty set now. I think we're good.
>> Just barely. >> Yo, >> the right channel's in if you want to
have a look at that. >> Oh, cool. >> Don't touch it. >> I will not. Just float. That looks
great, Dan. >> Thank you. It seems like you've got
stuff to do. >> Yeah, I will need a hand with a screen.
>> Okay.
>> Okay. Are we leaving again for controllers and stuff? >> Controllers. Princess Auto.
>> All right. What are we getting from Princess Auto at this point?
>> HDMI cable. The screws that Dan requested.
>> Luke needs to deal with a computer. >> Yeah. >> So, I think if Luke stays, that would
probably be better because this is very, very, very slow. We need to like get
testing on it and make sure that it's actually gonna function because we don't even time left.
>> We found an HDMI cable. Justin's just looking for the right screw for our
projector mount right now. >> Yeah, I don't think they carry M4 here. M6 is probably the smallest. So, it just
needs something to go through here to go into the roof. >> And did we get the other screws?
>> Which other screws? >> The ones that Dan needs for the speakers.
>> Uh/4 20 3/4.
>> Yeah. 1/4 3/4. Now, we need extension cord. And they are expensive. This is 50
feet, but it's um cheaper. >> So, we got speaker bolts. We got the
hinge bolts for this guy. 25 foot HDMI kit.
>> We were just at Princess Auto to grab some screws. They didn't have the screw
that we wanted. Um so, we're going to go pick up the controller and then maybe
hit up Home Depot, but I'm kind of cutting it close to pick up the lamp as
well. It's going to be in Kquitlam, so it'll be an hour there and back. That
doesn't leave Justin a lot of time to fix things. >> I got to put the projector mount
together. I got to put the projector onto the roof. I got to run some
cabling, like help Dan with all that stuff. But at this point, I'm not even
sure if this freaking projector mount's going to work.
If this whole thing even works at all, it's great.
That's kind of where I'm at right now. This to me, like I don't know, the wall
damage is a little funky, but it's mounted. I hope Justin and Sammy are
really able to pull the vibe thing together. >> So, yeah, the controllers are definitely
a little on the Gro Deier side, but we are running out of time and options. The
stick grips on two of them are completely destroyed, but that's okay.
We can just like 3D print new covers and some new back plates, and I don't think
anyone's going to be any none the wiser. >> We're going to the lamp lady. Going to
pick up a lamp. It >> is a nice lamp, though. >> Yeah, it is. Unfortunately, it doesn't
come with a bulb. >> That's minor detail. We want one to
>> bulbs are cheap. We got some loose screws for the wall uh
soundproofing or sound treatment. Two packs of screws and then um threeack of
warm light bulbs. >> Yeah, we'll call it excess.
Blood, sweat, and tears. Man, I mangled my finger. But the projector is safe.
That's all that matters. I didn't even get the tape up there.
I'm done. I'm like dinner. This is our room. Not my finest work, but hey,
considering that's a hand cut line, huh?
Not bad. Hey, keep it down. Shut up.
>> Watch your hand. I have never Oh, that was my gun. I
thought it was just the hose. Oh, man. We're going to do our practice panels
with the pink because we've got lots of it.
>> Well, that's a thing we have now. >> I think that's probably fine.
>> Okay. You know what? That's a yes.
Well, this is what I'm going to be doing for a while.
>> Oh, hello. Thank you. Do you need help? Is it heavy? Okay. Okay. Table secure.
Let's go. So, let's go valley cuz rugs. Okay. So, we need Dark Knight and Lord
of the Rings. I can't read sideways. Oh, wait. Look. All right. And then Lord of
the Rings. No, that's Twilight. Oh, okay. $9.99. Okay. Let's just get these
two floor rugs. That one's not bad. It's
plain, but it's fuzzy. See how much it is. Wait. 80. What the?
All right. Am I guess 30? Oh, 15 bucks.
Why is that one 80? Dude, this look the same color as our floor, though. N
bucks. Does We need a bulb for this. Oh,
surprisingly, the 3D printed light fixture fixed the lighting. Oh, okay. If
we're good on lighting, I don't have to worry about this anymore. $80 rug. All
right. It's more expensive than marketplace.
We're kind of running out of time. $80. We have money. Hey, Lionus. Wa. Let's
go. Where'd that come from? >> A thrift store.
>> How much was it? >> Guess. >> 40 bucks. >> Higher.
>> 60. >> Higher. >> What? 80? >> Yeah.
>> But we have money. >> Look, I was the one arguing for the rug,
so I'm not going to sit here and be like, "You shouldn't have done that.
He's just a boy." >> It is a pretty nice quality rug. >> All right.
>> Look at this. >> Ooh. Wait. This is coming together.
>> Yeah, >> dude. You see that room? Oh, man. And
how are we streaming the movies again? >> We've got Blu-rays for the two movies.
>> Let's go. >> And then we can do Adventure Time on Prime. >> Let's go.
>> Here, sit. You'll get a better idea. >> I really hope the Vibe team gets a vibe
in here cuz we have an unsafe amplifier.
There's no wires anywhere. Everything's clean.
>> Pretty sick. The computer works. It's all ready to go. I I ran benchmarks on
everything. Performance-wise, it's all happy. I ran the things on it. It itself
did not bottleneck anything. I noticed something. Shadow was pinned at 20
megabit per second. It goes up to 70. >> We're good then.
>> Yeah. >> Hello. >> Be very, very careful of the front three
speakers. They're kind of precarious.
>> Vibes are improving. I'll tell you that. >> I think we're doing okay. I think it's
coming together. I think we're missing a few components. I really wish that I had
a little bit more time to maybe paint the walls or something, but I think it's
working out okay. Maybe a few plants would help. I'm going to spend some time
after hours to pick up a bunch more stuff um since we're allowed to do that
and then maybe make the room feel a little more put together and find some
wall art to kind of make it less Scandinavian prison and more
Scandinavian home. >> We got a lot to do and we don't have a
lot of time to do it. Biggest thing we got to get this projector up. That's
going to be killer.
>> 30 minutes left. >> Justin. >> Yeah.
>> Power. Push the power. >> What power?
>> I'm going to need a stick. >> Oh, the power. Never mind. >> I'm pushing them up. They're just
flopping over on themselves. >> Alex right in the eye. Perfect. Cheers.
Okay, keep pushing. All right. >> I don't know too many tenants that are
allowed to run cables through their walls. I'm just saying it's a thing that
I've not observed before. Are those cables fire rated?
>> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Are they? >> It's a normal day at LMG, guys. Picking
off flowers on the side of the road. I
should be swearing. Eh, the tactic here is to grab some that aren't like fully
bloom. So, by tomorrow it should be like a lot better, you know?
Yo, she dusty, bro. Mix that with some
greens here.
>> Okay, >> those look great. >> She kind of cute. >> And this is our PC.
>> It's um not level. It's a few inches out
as well. If I like melt the mount and then hold it, we might be able to
reposition it that way. Okay, I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that. Good
luck. >> Thanks. >> These look dry. I think I'm going to start bringing some in. I don't know if
we'll have time to put any up today. >> Um, do you have any thoughts on how to
mount them? >> Uh, we were just going to put screws >> just like wood screws into the drywall.
Just >> It's not elegant, but it will be the least bad.
>> All right. All right. All right. I'm over it.
Three minutes.
Watch the walls. Pushing.
>> I've done the keystone. So, all you have to do is hold the boxes within the
boxes. >> Yeah. Okay. So, right about there.
>> You guys got it. >> Could you pass me the torch and hold this while I just hold this?
>> Absolutely. >> Can feel what's going on, too. >> I agree. >> What's our temp?
>> Oh, uh, 180. >> Can I get 280?
>> 280. >> Wow.
>> One minute. >> And that's only with this. What?
A >> lot better than the first time we walked in here. Remember? >> Oh my god. And that looks so slick, you
guys. >> Just don't look too closely. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Minor details.
Minor details. They look okay. >> Yeah. >> Sick. I'm glad they still work. I was
worried like putting a bunch of >> hard crap on them would just make them
reflective. And is all the gaming stuff working? Okay. All our games run.
>> Sick. Um, we might have HDR support if
we went through the TV, but then we'd potentially be introducing audio
problems. >> I mean, we could we've got 2 hours to try it tomorrow. And we have an extra
HDMI cable, right? >> Yeah, we do have an extra HDMI cable. >> All right, rock on.
>> Luke, I actually need the soldering iron. I figured out a way to rectify this. Can you get this plugged into an
extension cord? I don't think I have a minute to do this. >> No, I don't think so.
>> Is it on? >> Yep. Yep. >> Okay. Oh my god, this is actually going to be working. That's nuts.
>> 530. Oh my god, it held. Luke, we can
use plastic knives and then stick them up there and then just melt them in to
adjust it. Fine tune. >> I mean, sure. I don't think anyone's
going to >> Okay, that's it. Pencil's down.
>> Pencil's down. End of Wednesday. Everybody's sweaty. Uh uh, we
technically got the 3D print started for the Xbox controllers for all of it. The
thumb sticks and the battery backs. >> Battery backs. >> Okay. Thumbstick should be really fast.
I >> will be fast. We can do those in the morning. I'm not worried about that. Technically, they'll work without those.
It's just >> it's a nice to have. >> Uh the Xbox controllers do work. They
connected to Shadow. That's all good. The computer is theoretically working.
Projector. >> It'll be working tomorrow morning when I
glue a bunch of knives to it.
>> We have a bunch of art. I haven't seen it. Sammy thinks it's cool.
>> Yeah, but >> maybe it'll be cool. >> We have an IKEA lamp, a gray couch, a
table that doesn't stay still. >> 66% of the tables hold their integrity.
This is pretty normal. I think we definitely had some missteps. I think it
looks bad because it's not put together. >> And if you touch the speakers, they fall
off. >> What all do we have to do tomorrow?
>> All pedals. We have LED strips. >> Are you guys thinking bias lighting or
are you guys thinking vibe lighting? >> I was thinking bias lighting, especially
with the dark wall behind it. >> Well, why not both? We could maybe have
Yeah, we could have some vibe lighting around the underside of the couch. Get that underglow and then we could do bias
lighting around the back of the TV. How's the HDR? Did you try it? I can't
get it going through the amplifier. So, I will try and do it through the TV and
see if we still have sound problems cuz that's what we had when we were trying
to run the sound off the TV. >> Okay. >> But audio works great when it's running
through the amplifier. >> With our $19, technically we can still shop tomorrow.
>> Snacks. Snacks for the judges. >> Doritos and Mountain Dew.
>> Okay. Okay. That That's a must. That's a must. >> Either that or theater snacks.
>> Popcorn. >> Is a microwave a tool? >> I'd say so. >> Okay. So, we pick up some popcorn, some
Doritos, and Mountain Dew. Can you get that for $19? >> Yeah. Uh, inflation. I'm
>> cut. >> Bad news. >> First thing in the morning.
>> Yeah. >> The projector not being mounted makes me want to cry in a pile of sadness.
>> Are you putting it on stage? >> Oh god. >> Wait.
>> Oh god. That sucks. How does it always come down to the wire like this?
>> The winner of Scrapyard Wars 2025
is all hands on deck.
>> Oh god, it's not on very well. >> I have good news. some bad news,
>> which means that the winner of Scrapyard Wars 2025
is Scrapyard Wars. >> This time we transform a completely
empty room into an epic gaming movie
watching paradise. Our budget $1,400.
Even though we've procured all of our stuff and it's mostly in the room, we
haven't figured out our acoustic treatment. We haven't figured out our HDR issues.
>> Slight bad news. >> Bad news. First thing in the morning.
>> Yep. But I think I have a plan. >> I'll be back in like 30 minutes.
>> 30 minutes? >> Oh, dude. I was really counttoing on you to help me with the aesthetics.
>> Oh, yeah. I'll be back for that. >> Natalie's not even here yet. She's buying snackies.
>> We got the goods. The 12-pack Mountain Dew and a pack of Cool Ranch Doritos. We
still have about $2 left. I think this is going to be good. I'm going to bribe the judges with these gamer snacks.
>> We picked up a lot of stuff last night. >> I went to a furniture store and I went
to their outlet section and it was like literally a scrapyard. They had like
extra broken pieces everywhere and I picked up what I could. Picked up some wall art for cheap. Picked up some of
this shelf. >> Picked up some plant and paws. Picked up
this from the thrift store. And then some more floating shelves. Fake plants
and a candle. A basket. Another throw pillows.
>> I found some stuff. I did get that art.
There you go. That was like 10 bucks, so whatever. This was a find. And it's a
little mini fridge. Oh, you didn't show off your the the comic. One of the TV
things that we're watching is Adventure Time. >> And then the last thing was just a
dollar store run. Just a bunch of different snacks and stuff. Uh
>> I have a better one. >> We'll explain that later. This is probably just going in the garbage. Oh
yeah, the mouse. It's like actually in pretty good condition. >> Okay.
>> How long is this going to take? >> Probably a while, unfortunately. So if
you can work around us to stick stuff on the walls, do it. The projector not
being mounted makes me want to cry in a pile of sadness, but um we'll figure it
out. >> First thing we're going to do today is see if we can get the PlayStation
running directly to the TV. This receiver doesn't pass through HDR. So,
right now, yeah, our movies and games look pretty good, but we're not getting
HDR. Wow, only two HDMIs on this.
>> I know. It's so budget. >> Weak sauce. >> At least it has ARC.
>> Okay, here we go. It's hard to tell if HDR is on or not or if it's just the
crappy panel. >> Maybe try flipping HDR off and then flip it back on. Okay,
>> I'm pretty sure this is on. >> Panel might be fine, but our backlight
is >> does not have full array local dimming. So, it is what it is.
>> Yeah, I still want to validate the sound
because I didn't look at that too closely. There we go.
>> That looks like ass. >> It does. >> Is Adventure Time not in HD on Prime? I
wonder if the trial is SD. >> It shouldn't be.
>> Should we put a Blu-ray in to check and make sure the audio is working? And then maybe you have Dark Knight.
>> Sure.
>> All right. >> This is good here. >> I think we're good.
>> The print failed on the TV feet. I need to make something that is low profile
black and hides in it. We have these shelves that we took out. The idea is to
cut these into something and basically precariously balance the TV on this. It
should be good enough, right?
And this is our new feet. We're going to put one like this, one like this, and
the TV is just going to rest on this thin piece on both sides. They are ugly,
but they should work. >> It's not going to be super stable.
>> Oh man. Really, Sebastian? >> Time constraints. It's my best work.
>> Oh, dude. This is sketch. >> Not earthquake rated. Nope.
>> Okay. >> It's low profile. >> It's black.
>> Mhm. >> Is Do you have a Sharpie? >> Pens or tools, right? >> Pens are tools.
>> Okay. So, let's just give it some Sharpie and then >> Sharpie and Yeah. fill in that spot.
>> Okay. >> Oh god. >> Are you putting it on studs?
>> Oh god. >> Are you stripping the screw? >> No. Can I borrow this?
>> You can borrow that. Yeah, absolutely. >> Oh, okay.
Does this look okay? It's kind of >> It's very very droopy,
>> saggy. >> It's upside down. Mount's upside down. >> Oh, cut all that out.
>> You're too far to the left. >> Yeah, but if I manipulate it anymore,
I'm I'm concerned the mount will like snap.
>> Luke, I need you. >> Thank you.
>> Just going to grab one of these. >> Sure.
At a certain point, we're just going to have to accept it. Yeah. >> Plastic knives to the rescue,
>> Sammy. >> Yeah, >> you're good. >> Yeah, thank you.
>> That's good for this part. We're going to move the couch back. All right, let's get those out of here.
>> Uh, Dan, we're all set on cables. Anything extra I can take out? Start finishing it off.
>> Yeah, I don't know how to mount it. Do you know how to mount this stuff? >> Yeah. Yeah. So, one here and one there.
>> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Sebastian, do you want to get Nat to
help you with the wall panels? I trust YouTube way more than it. No offense. Um
I trust either of us. >> Yeah, we can do that. Do you want to do the lights?
>> Oh, no. Do they have a controller or do we need Wi-Fi? >> It says it doesn't need Wi-Fi and it has
a remote. >> Yes. I'm on this then after I'm done sharpieing. That looks so much better
though. It doesn't really like stand out anymore.
You know what? That actually is not bad.
>> Did the Blu-ray come with a DVD or something? Because this looks like butt.
>> Says Blu-ray. Uh, >> we do have alternatives because
theoretically it should be on here too. So, this should come
>> in UHD after we get 2 minutes of ads. >> I can tell you the resolution of the ad
sure isn't UHD. Oh, man. There's so much compression
blocking. >> I know. >> Can we see the Blu-ray again? >> Yep. >> Maybe I was sitting too close before.
Let's see. Yeah, keep this. Way less
compression artifacts. It's a little softer because it's 1080, but it is way
less compression. >> Yeah, >> these are the 3D printed backs that
Justin did. Stands out on the white one, obviously, but it looks pretty good. A
couple of them had like ruined thumb stick tops. Both the top left. This the
person we bought this from must have played a specific game. Doesn't 100%
look or feel perfect, but it looks and
feels a lot better than it did. So, I'll take that. >> Um Justin, do you want to start getting
the controllers charged? I don't know where it happened. >> No, they're double A's. We're good. >> Yeah, they're double A's. Oh, thank
these are honestly not getting any cleaner >> into the wire basket. >> Okay.
>> Wo. Wow. >> Dan, what >> do you mind if we put the couch in
place? >> No, I need it in place now. That would be great. >> Yeah. Okay. >> I got to start doing my audio testing.
>> Wa. >> Yeah. Watch the projector. >> Yeah. Sorry. >> Being held in Tilted Dreams.
>> Tilted now. >> Oh, I'm sorry.
>> This is the uh We're making designs >> on the go. >> Yep.
I hope they look okay when they're dried.
That improves the homeiness factor immensely.
>> Good call, Lionus. >> How's the clapage right now?
>> We can get the door. >> I think it's actually bouncing off the ceiling the most.
>> Do we want to put some triangles on? >> I would I would love to. Maybe just like
a couple bigger shapes.
>> 45 minutes. >> Sebastian, I have good news and bad
news. Uh, bad news. >> Bad news is the remote is not in here.
>> Then we need the app. That's fine. The app >> app uses Wi-Fi.
>> Can you use it to set it up? And then >> Wait, is this one sealed? Hold on. Hold
on. Maybe this one has a remote. >> Oh, no. You know what? Yes. That was the
good news, by the way. I think you're brilliant. >> Excellent. >> We can set it up now cuz we're allowed
to use Wi-Fi for setup. And then it's set up. >> Yep. >> Sick.
>> Thank you.
Oh god. No. That one's too heavy.
>> Hey, Sebastian. Want to play your favorite game again? >> I'm guessing it's bad news and bad news.
>> No, there's good news. Bad news is this strip doesn't work.
>> Okay. >> The good news is this one does. >> Oh, we have one strip. >> We have one strip. Do we want underglow
on the couch or bias lighting on the TV? >> TV. >> I think TV.
>> Not going to lie, I was kind of hoping they'd say couch cuz that would have been a lot easier. But I think it's the
right call because not only does bias lighting improve the mood and the vibe,
but it also is supposed to improve the perceived contrast, which with our HDR
TV is going to be a plus. Need to try not to knock this TV over. That would
actually be disastrous right now. I need you to go to the other side to help me
stretch this across. All without knocking over the TV. Oh, wait. Shoot.
We're over these cables. I got to hand it to you through the cables, too. No,
it has to go under this power cable. I can get behind. I got this other side.
Wait. Oh god. >> You got it. Okay. I got my side. I got
my side. >> It's not on very well. I'm holding the TV. You can go down on your side.
>> Okay. I got it under the thing. >> Okay. >> Okay.
Oh god. Oh. Okay.
>> Now I'm on your side. >> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Is she still stableish?
>> No, we're good. >> How does it always come down to the wire like this?
>> Looks a bit like a real set, but so far it works. That's better than I was
concerned we were going to be at like half an hour ago. >> All hands on deck. We're centering the
TV. >> I think you need to go more step side. Just a little bit.
>> Okay, we good. >> Do we have anything that we can cover this up with?
>> Oh, that's true. The lighting lights it right up. >> What I'll do, I'll cut the shelf that we
have over there into a strip. We can just put it in front there. >> Do we want to go with like blue kind of
light like lighting? We should decide that right now. >> Dad, the blue.
>> Yeah. >> Are we happy with what the bias lighting looks like? >> Yeah, I'm happy with it.
>> You're happy with it? All right. Are there any other little outstanding items that you have, Pancrats?
>> It would just be double- checking to make sure that everything works. >> Okay, let's do that then.
>> Our subwoofer is not overcooked right now. >> Maybe a little. Not much.
>> I've got the center boosted 3dB right now. >> Give her another 2dB.
>> No. >> Yeah. >> Yep. We still need to clean the TV and
clean the console. >> Front center. Front.
>> I'm just checking to make sure that uh all the channels are working properly.
Hold on. There we go. >> Dollarama, baby.
>> I'm glad I got just the right amount of stuff. I think I could have gotten like
a little more to fill up like one of the shelves that I ended up putting like the
snacks on, but I think I had like the perfect amount of things on the amount
of shelves that I got and a good amount of shelf. Okay, we still have some time.
I'm going to set up the banana cuz I got the best banana of them all. This one
too ripe. So, I'm just looking up what the piece
looks like, and we're going to do it like the other way around to make sure that we're not infringing on.
>> What I'm working on just finished. I was working on connecting the Xbox
controllers. All three are now connected. So, that's good. You like my
desktop background? It's a official Microsoft 4K version of the Windows XP
Bliss background. Another thing I noticed was in the shadow options under
network there was this setting and it used to be set to like 20 or 30 and now
it's at 70. So that should help. >> No hole patch patch uh from the inside.
Scissorless not available. >> Okay. >> Is that HD bliss? Oh my god. This room
is really good for like reducing anxiety. >> Yeah. >> It feels like a therapist room.
>> That's not a thing that you should say. >> Yeah. All right. Just keep going. Keep
going. >> These fine art contemporary art pieces. You'll see like somebody who paints like
an entire canvas in red and you're like, I could do that. But it's actually about
like the way that you like use the brush a bajillion times to make it perfectly
red. I'm not an art major, but I'm trying my best to like notice the little
details like where the duct tape goes. Oh, I think it's ripped.
>> I'm pretty sure the tape is not perfectly. >> It's supposed to be ripped.
>> It is a living art piece, though. They literally update it all the time.
>> Do you guys like the media on here, or should I lose it? Would it be better if they were tucked straight?
>> The angle's fine. I think it goes fine. >> Oh, the flowers kind of died overnight, didn't they?
>> We can go last minute. >> Uh, that's pretty sad. No, that's pretty
sad, too. What the hell? Do we not have any grass here? What the
>> Where's Sebastian? >> He went to go pick flowers. >> He's picking fl Okay, I need him to cut
this. I don't know where the saw is. He's picking flowers. Yeah. No. No. It
makes sense. >> Here,
Sebastian. I need another cable management hider. Can we just break it
in half? >> Uh yeah, I'll show you. I'll show you. I'll show you. >> We've got some grass for touch grass.
>> Okay, let's go. Let's go. Let's go. >> Minus. What do you need? >> This I could Sharpie for a very short
distance. >> Okay. Yeah. And then I can sharpen the other side and we can put it on the
other side of the thing. >> Oh, we still have to wipe down the TV. Ah.
>> Connection drops. Packet loss. Why does the office's internet just suck so much?
>> Okay, that's all holes minus roof. >> Cool. We got to find something for the
roof. >> Pays off to be friends with logistics.
They'll help you with things if you ask nicely. Hey Dan, you're up.
>> Now I just need to basically adjust the levels of them and then I'm done.
>> Okay, two people stabilized, one person clean. >> Do we have another Sharpie? >> We're just cleaning the TV right now.
Let's get this as clean as we can. You're going to have to kind of really scrub it just in the in the bottom
corner. I don't know. >> 5 minutes. >> Do you have a good like reflection on
from the light to see? Okay, good. And then as soon as we're done wiping the TV, Pancrats, I guess you get content on
it. Y >> I will continue sharp sharpieing.
>> Okay, I think it's pretty good. Okay,
>> there's like a mode right here. So, the bass sounds like but whatever. We've got
like no time left, so I give up. >> Dan, I need um the room for the last
part. >> We're done with audio. We're good. >> Okay.
>> Oh god, >> that's very scary. >> Careful. It's It definitely moved. It's
fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. >> Guys, be careful. Yeah,
>> projector's moving. >> Yeah, I'm I'm coming down now.
Okay, final stage. >> It's together. Unfortunately, the the
projector shifted, but the roof hole seems to be covered. The bananas on the
wall. The room is together, which honestly Oh, hey, there's still light
coming through that hole. >> Yeah, right there. >> Trying to make it so that the the games
are at least in like full screen before they get here. >> Luke, does that work?
>> Yeah. >> Wait, guys, quick. Um, covers or naked?
>> Naked. Naked. >> Naked. Naked. Naked. >> One minute.
>> One minute. >> Oh, wait. One last question. Nat. >> Yes. Yes. Yes.
>> From an aesthetic balance perspective, do you want the PC there or the little
table thing there? >> PC there. >> PC there. You bet.
>> Uh, can you confirm now that it is here that we like it there?
>> Yep. 30 seconds. I'm going to turn the light back on.
>> I think it all came together. I turned the controller off intentionally so it
doesn't drain the battery. >> You know what? No, let's let's have it on. I think this is more welcoming.
>> 9 8 7 6 5 4 3
>> 2 1 >> Okay, I'm pretty happy.
>> I'm stoked. This is fire.
>> Stop damaging the
Jesus. With the rooms ready to go, it's time for the most important part of the
week, the judging. Lionus, seeing as you got to pick your teammate second, would
you like to be judged first or second? >> What do you want?
>> Uh, I want to be judged second.
>> I want second. >> That's how it's going to be.
>> You know what? Why don't we flip for it? >> Sure. >> I actually baited you to exactly what I
wanted. So, I did not want a coin flip. I wanted you to go >> me to go first or second?
>> Second. >> You want me to go? Oh, I want to go second. I have been baited.
>> Luke is a master. >> Ah,
>> manipulator. >> Yeah, that's right.
>> Okay, let's get the judging underway.
Welcome to the humble abode.
>> Having seen the rooms as they were before, very impressed.
>> It's supposed to be multiodal kind of.
This is not just a theater room. It's not just a gaming space. You want to be
able to relax in here. There's drinks in the Coke fridge. There's snacks in
varieties of places. You can do whatever you want. >> Is that from MoMA?
>> Uh, yes. We also have various pieces of art around the room, including a lore
accurate banana taped to wall reversed orientation on purpose to make it
legally distinct.
>> I do like the use of the acoustic paneling to like flank the sides of the
projector screen. I think it fills up the space pretty nicely. The warm light is nice. Although a lamp shade maybe
hiding that would have been a good touch. >> I was going to check if the if the
surrounds are at the same height. >> They're not. That one's higher.
>> Yeah, that one's higher >> and crooked. >> Uh adjustable. We like we like to go
with adjustable. >> Okay, good to know. >> Can I adjust it right now? >> No. >> Uh prefer maybe not. Uh
>> this fridge beside me, >> yes, >> is incredibly loud. >> It can be turned off. Uh there's a
switch on the back. There's actually Coke in there if you would like a refreshing beverage. No vibes.
>> You're allowed.
>> I like this room a lot.
>> Yeah. >> It's a good size projector screen for
this room. It's not too big. >> Yeah. We didn't actually want it to feel
like a movie room. We wanted it to feel like a place you can hang out and you
can also watch movies. You can also play games. You can also use computer. Do whatever you want.
>> It does not feel like that. It feels like a movie room. >> Okay. All right.
>> It feels like a good movie room. I think the coffee table's nice. It's tough to like judge you on the quality of the
furniture. >> I'm actually just impressed this couch is like not trash.
Like it's it's okay. Still on the decor side. Um
>> it's obviously very clean space, Nordic
even, but the cable management situation here is a lot different than from here
out. >> Yeah, it makes me sad. >> We were able to get fully hidden cables
for all of the speakers and mostly hidden cables for the projector. You
guys actually ran the wire through the wall. >> Yeah, >> kudos. That's That's a lot of work.
>> We also just This reminded me the projector also includes 3D active 3D
glasses. >> Wow. >> So you can watch 3D movies if you're
interested >> or not.
>> Yeah. >> Did you get a Did you get us 3D media to to test with?
>> No. You look good. I got to say you look good.
You've got the the tech command seat and then you've got the snack command seat
and they can both It's like it's like a driver and passenger in a car.
>> I got you. >> Yeah, that's >> And then the person in the middle is just the king.
>> Just enjoying life if you're really desperate. Technically, I think it's
like every 6 days you're supposed to eat the banana and replace it. >> Honestly, it looks nice, but it is the
vibe is rental property core >> or hotel room. I just got here.
>> Feels like an Airbnb. Yeah, but it is like really clean and like and tasteful.
Like look at this damn base. It's a really clean and nice and modern space.
>> Well, I think it's time that we move on to the movie watching experience. I will
say right now, projector not even close to aligned. It's not keystoneed. It's
It's at an angle. Is there a subwoofer? >> Yes. Yeah,
>> it's down there.
That sucks.
>> Mareline songs are so good. Oh, maybe I
can get Marceline to write a song with me. >> I've seen enough.
>> So, what resolution is this projector? >> 4K.
>> Is this 4K content? >> Yes, >> but no HDR.
>> Projector can do HDR.
>> You decided there was no media software
or controller for the computer. Some sort of software interface that if I
wanted to have a more couch-like TV like experience. definitely considered it.
>> Uh probably a very reasonable upgrade to
go into over the next little while. >> I like this though. It brings me back to
my college days. >> Oh yeah, totally. >> Should we just have the lamp on instead?
>> How accessible is the lamp? >> Oh my god. >> It's um >> That really changes it.
>> Yeah, it's pretty bad. >> Yeah, that does change things. >> I think you wouldn't have it on when
you're gaming. >> No. So, we don't have any smart bulbs or dimming bulbs.
>> Sorry. Okay. >> And how are you doing the volume? Just on the knob of the AVR.
>> Yeah. Do you have a remote for the volume? >> Uh, volume can be done here. I did did
it with a knob, but you can do it with the controller. >> The reds really blow out.
>> Yeah, they're really overcooked. >> Which is interesting because the yellows
were really bad. >> What were we trying to change?
>> It was >> cuz this is game streaming, right?
>> No idea at all. >> Yeah. >> Unless you have a very flawless and
reliable internet connection, you end up with problems like this constantly.
You're constantly troubleshooting. >> I just checked our network and
everything's screwed. All right, give us the mouse. Let's do some lap. Do they
have a lap board? What do we got here? Oh, table. >> Oh, just a table. It's not really
designed for uh heavy keyboard and mouse use.
>> The keyboard wireless. >> Nope. >> Oh, all right. We're having some office
level technical difficulties that are making that our streaming service for
games is not going to work. So, what we're going to do is we're going to run
the benchmarks in front of the judges to give them an idea of what the performance should be like on a good
day. And we're going to have that for our performance benchmark portion. Uh,
but this is obviously going to affect the subjective portion which the judges will elaborate on later.
>> The frame rate's running smoothly on their side >> and it's just that it's dropping packets
or whatever sending to us. >> You can see that like the minimum frame
rate is still 51. So, it's not dropping on their end.
>> Yeah. >> Chug chug chug chug. >> 97 average on the GPU. It's such a weird
thing. So, you're very CPU limited in this one. 71 was the average, max of
124. That's better than a lock 60. All
right, I think we've seen enough. Let's take a look at the next room. >> Welcome, Games Master David, esteemed
judges to the vibe zone.
>> Oh my god, this is >> Welcome to an 18-year-old's cool
bedroom.
>> Hey, look at all the door. It's a lot of dew. That's a lot of Mountain Dew.
>> Painted Sonopan. >> The acoustic panels are making a huge
change in here. >> How old was the person who painted the
walls? >> Eight or 80.
>> An adult. >> Is this spray paint? >> Don't touch that too hard.
>> What the Oh, this is so you could get your center speaker there, huh?
>> These are >> These are the shelves from this unit
>> turned on end to jack up the height of the TV.
>> That is so sketch. It's >> That's sketch as hell. >> That's terrifying.
>> I appreciate the multi-purposeness of the space. They actually included books,
>> but no extra lighting, so you're >> It's tough. >> Well, no, that light is adjustable.
>> Is it RGB? It's RGB wire, like Wi-Fi light, smart light.
>> I can't control it right now. I like that little lamp shade on it.
>> 3D shade is a nice chair.
>> I was just kidding. >> I don't recommend the crack spot.
>> Yeah, I sat right in the middle. >> Um >> Oh, it's a love seat. That's why the
chair. know what it is. If you could uh if you could move for a moment sleeper,
>> this is IKEA. >> Yeah, that's what we want. >> Boom. >> The chair makes sense now.
>> There is no shadow of a doubt that that is a cuck chair. >> One of the key elements was how inviting
the space is. We felt that having two controllers is far more inviting than
one controller or play some golf with your friends.
>> Nice. Oh, okay. >> Immediate hole in one.
>> Set up. >> Why is there no sound? >> Yeah. Can we get
>> Oh, sorry. Uh oh. Well, hold on. Hold on. You wouldn't want to You wouldn't
want to get up to change the volume. I really like the choice to do an accent
wall. You had blue walls and then one that is a different color. Back lighting
also think is I'm not going to say classy, but it's nice.
>> It does have a distinctly kind of '90s vibe.
>> It's got Cinniplex arcade energy. Yes, >> the Doritos match the wall panel.
>> Oh, yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> Really cohesive. Really bringing it together.
>> I do wish they had a ladder or something so they could keep it going higher to
the ceiling. It seems like it just like arbitrarily stops, but maybe they just
ran out of panels. We felt that the room was a little tall and almost aquarium
feeling. So, it was a conscious decision not to put the sound panels up any
higher than you normally would with about an 8ft ceiling.
We found that acoustically the ceiling panels made an enormous difference even
though there's not that many of them. >> Did you make the frames? >> No, this frame was free.
>> That reeks a free. >> Yeah, >> it reeks as free almost as free as a
Pearl Harbor poster. >> No, we paid for that. Hey, that has an
actual film strip from the film. >> Wow. >> That's collectible.
>> What are you sitting on? >> Oh, I'm just sitting on a little
>> Oh, the IKEA basket. >> Convenient little basket table. I like
the the pullable side table. >> It's a little high.
>> Is it not compatible with this couch? >> Works perfectly until you go to pull it
out. So, we positioned it here. >> Let's try.
>> So, the idea is that it can There you go. It goes in about that far.
>> That was not worth the effort. >> Uh yeah, that's why we had it where we had it for the most part. Really clean
job on cutting the audio. The uh is that like sonapam or whatever? It feels like
it's the stuff we used in the server room. The cuts are pretty clean. When you get the ones close here, it looks
pretty dirty. But when you're far away,
it just looks cheap. >> It was cheap.
>> Yeah, especially the screws through the middle of them. >> I think that we're really focused on
minor details like whether there's a screw hole and we're ignoring
>> I think we can hold uh two things in our minds at once. >> You have a PC and a PlayStation.
>> Uh we do. We have a working PC. It's not plugged in.
>> Nope. The rules only stipulate that you must
have a working PC, which we do. >> The uh the lighting strip behind the TV.
It's just one color. >> Yes, it's bias lighting, so it's intended to improve contrast. It's not
for vibe. >> I'm mostly impressed with the size of the speakers. Do you have any surrounds?
>> We felt that in such a small room with the budgetary constraints that we were
under, choosing acoustic treatment over surround speakers was a no-brainer. We
could have surround speakers in here, but if we had reflections all over the
place, you'd basically just be sitting in a mess of positional audio.
>> Shall we watch something? >> Sure.
>> It's hard to judge this when we're watching such a low resolution version
of it because of the internet right now. >> Uh yeah. Which movie did you want?
Sorry. >> Uh Return of the King. >> Uh just just pointing out that as a
bonus, um we have all three. Wow. So
>> is there no control for the light? There is
>> how you control it >> with an app. Oh, wait. Well, yeah, you can turn it off. Turn it off. Yeah. Want
it off? Then by all means, >> let's leave it off for now cuz we had on last one. >> You sure? Oh, okay.
>> The film grains aggressive. And I'm thinking that
there's processing on the TV that's making it worse. HDR on.
>> Uh, these are the non4K Blu-rays. How are you guys enjoying the size of the
TV? >> I think it's an ideal size for the space. >> Good height, too. If you just ignore how
it got to that height. Yeah,
>> let's go. >> The sub sounds so much like it is over
there. At least from my sitting position. It might be better when you're
closer to the corner. >> I didn't notice that. >> For me, I was just like, "Wow, that is
where the sub is." >> I was surprised at how the directional audio came through still quite a lot
even though there is no surround actual with the zipline scene specifically. I
would almost hazard to say that these speakers might be a bit too much for the
room. There's times where it feels almost like shouty. Like there were some
very noticeable peaks for me. >> Mhm. >> That didn't feel great to hear. It was
like uneven in a sense. All right, that's enough Christopher Nolan. Let's play some games.
>> We have two controllers. Just thought I'd point that out. >> You've said that a bunch of time like
you think they only have one. >> I don't know how many I don't know what they have three of us.
>> I just know. >> Yeah, you have less. You have less. We can't all play together.
>> But look at the quality of these controllers. Dual Sense, no stick drift.
>> It feels really smooth. >> It's PlayStation. >> Yeah, this tough to beat.
>> All right. Red Dead Redemption 2 gaming. >> This game came out on the PS4 and it's
locked at 30 on the PS5. Rockstar ass move.
>> I mean, it's this for the next 25 minutes. >> Yeah. All right. Is there another game?
>> It looks like a good experience. >> It's It was made for this console, so
it's uh >> Yeah, it's like rock solid and >> Yeah. Feels nice.
>> All right, I've seen enough. >> Now that the judges have seen everything and our teams have talked, we finally
get to see each other's rooms. >> I'm kind of excited. >> Welcome to the vibe zone.
>> Oh my, they're so similarly named. Oh wow.
Oh wow. Oh wow.
This is Where did you get the phone? >> From a store.
>> Okay. Okay. All right. You can be like that. Okay. Home Depot.
>> Oh, really? It's not wreck stuff. Jeez.
>> Jeez. >> Oh my. Okay. >> It's the same stuff that we lined the
server room with. >> Did they Did they go after you for only
two cushions? We debated on this so much. >> Um
>> I think we saw literally this couch. >> They got after us for our crack seat
being truly the worst crack seat of all time. Go ahead and sit on it.
>> All right. >> Oh, wow. >> Yeah, there's a spring that wants to go
right up your rectum. >> It really does. >> Yeah. >> Okay.
>> It's not as bad here, but it's a pull out. Oh, that's cool. I am now 99% sure we
saw this couch. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. >> Want to play it?
>> Yeah. >> Oh, no. Go for it. >> Fraternals co-op. Okay.
>> Oh, I might want to grab the other controller. >> All right. Hold on.
>> The move of going with a PlayStation, we knew cuz we heard the bootup sound
through the wall. The move of going with the PlayStation
was, I think, pretty smart. Um, >> I knew there was no way you'd do it, so
I I knew it would be different. >> That was a good call. Um,
I hate dual shot controllers. >> This is dual sense.
>> Sure, whatever. I just the non
>> I know. >> I don't even remember what it's called, but the thumb sticks in the same spot.
>> Symmetrical design. >> Yeah, I don't like it. It runs nice.
It sounds really nice. I heard you guys' audio system and I was like, "Well,
we'll lose that category." >> Really? Cuz we were expecting audio to
be a major strength for you guys. >> Yeah. Um,
yeah. Seems like there was maybe something messed up with the balancing
or something. I'm not sure yet. >> Oh. >> Um,
>> that's unfortunate. >> James was unhappy and he was sitting in like the prime spot. So, I'm I'm off on
the side so I couldn't hear it properly, but yeah. >> Yeah. No, we're pretty happy with our
sound. >> What are the stats on this TV? How much did it cost you?
>> We paid 550 CAD plus tax, but we got a
free soundbar that we sold for $100. >> Nice. So, $450 plus tax
>> in in total plus tax. >> Yeah. >> Um, what are the stats?
>> 75 in. It's 4K HDR, but it's trash tier
HDR. It's edge lit on the bottom. >> Yeah. Like
>> we we got we got 1080p Blu-rays of our movies because we knew that HDR was not
going to be a major advantage for us, >> right? Yeah.
>> Pearl Pearl Harbor. >> We were just trying to appeal to the
film buffs. That's an actual film strip from the film. >> Cool. That's cool.
>> It's kind of a cool little collectible. >> Find that randomly on Bas.
>> Oh, what is that? >> Thrift store. >> Oh, cool. Okay.
>> Yeah. >> I like the paint. >> Thank you. I don't like that. I hadn't
actually looked up. >> What? Our light. >> No, the sound panels on the roof.
>> From an aesthetic standpoint, I wouldn't have done it. >> Yeah.
>> Oh, >> but from an acoustic standpoint, it was necessary.
>> I wonder if your clap will sound that bad in ours
>> because my clap doesn't sound that bad, but we have different sounding claps.
>> I mean, there's almost no echo. That's what I'm going for.
>> It just sounds really sharp to me. it. Well, >> that's probably a
>> It's supposed to. >> Uh, cool. Okay. Um, do
>> you want to see a movie? >> We did. Yeah, sure. >> Do you want to just look around? You know what a movie looks like.
>> So, we both went with Hey, we should probably put a rug down.
>> Yeah, >> that makes sense. >> How casting couch did these rooms look
at the beginning? >> Oh, it was bad. It was bad. >> The first thing we got was the couch.
>> Yeah, pretty much us two. >> And I was like, >> there was a comment made where it was
like, if this was black and leather, it would be bad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You got
a little side chair. That's cool. So, you kind of got away from the the two
seat problem cuz I was talking about this like, do we just do this? I think
literally this couch and get a side chair and we decided to go for a
actually much more expensive couch, but it has three seats. >> We got that for free.
>> Nice. That's pretty good. Yeah, >> that's a nice chair to get for free.
>> Also, >> nice.
>> The rules stipulated that we needed a working PC.
There it is. It's not even plugged in.
It's so light. What the heck? >> Well, the the heaviness doesn't impact
the functionaliness of it. >> Well, I mean, if the rules said Yeah, if
it Yeah, I'm I mean, that's it's part of the game. That doesn't actually bother
me. Whatever.
>> It works. >> I'm I'm surprised you didn't like really
try to hide it, like put it in there or something. >> Uh, you know what? We actually had it
under the chair and then we realized sitting here that the subwoofer and this
empty corner were kind of imbalanced. Yeah. >> Okay. Yeah, sure.
>> Our cable management is sketch. >> What is even happening? >> This is just pieces of the shelves that
used to be inside here. Yeah. >> And do not bump the TV. Whatever you do,
do not bump the TV. >> What? What? Like, why isn't it just on
its Wait, it is on its >> We need the center channel under it.
>> We 3D printed a riser for it last night, but the print failed. Oh no.
>> So we had to jerryrig something. >> I like it. This is awesome.
>> I'm assuming this is reclaimed. >> No, for free. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah.
>> Wow. >> And then we put the acoustic paneling in it. >> No, it looks great.
>> Yeah. >> Cool. >> We were all about sound treating the
room cuz I feel audio is half of the experience for both games and movies.
So, the way that I saw it, >> audio was onethird of the score
>> was sort of the the mentality. The paint job is
>> a paint job. >> Did they look that closely? >> Yeah, they
>> they probably only did because of you. You probably made that more difficult on
yourself just due to reputation cuz when I heard you guys were painting, I was
like, "Yeah, but it's like Lionus, so of course he's painting." >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. So, what was your team name? >> Uh, we were the uh the scrappers.
>> Oh, I saw I read something vibe. Okay. >> No, no. I said our space was the vibe
zone. Got it. Got it. >> I just made that up. We We didn't agree on that with the team. Yeah, they're
good with it, apparently. Nice. All right. Well, let's go.
>> Well, what's your room called >> with uh Vibe Maxers is the team name. We
don't have a specific room name. >> Wow. They made the white walls work.
>> Yeah. >> See, when I saw that you guys didn't paint, I thought you were boned.
>> I was concerned about it uh until probably about 30 minutes before the
competition. >> Modern art. >> Modern art. >> You love to see it.
>> To specification, I looked it up. There are specifics about how high it has to
be off the ground. The only thing is it is technically a derivative work legally
distinct derivative work because the bananas face in the other direction.
>> Projector is a choice. >> It is a choice. It is a choice that I
regret. But it is a choice. >> Yeah. No, it's a choice that I would
have regretted too, but >> I've never used a projector before. I thought we would get like a huge amount
of the wall. Uh considering how much of the wall we got, that was one of the
mistakes. Um, I thought one of the requirements was uh rental friendly.
>> Yeah, they won't notice. >> That is quite the hole in the wall, sir. >> They won't notice. None of the judges
noticed. >> Oh my god, this is nice.
>> This is nice. And guess what? Both of them combined was like $67.
>> Well, >> it's not too bad. >> Hate to be that guy, but all of our
acoustic material plus the paint was uh
$79.
>> That's not bad, though. Not terrible. >> It's not terrible. You guys have enough
stuff on the walls that >> it helps to break it up. >> I don't think it's as good as your
guys', >> but the, you know, the couch, the rug,
all these other little things, it adds up. >> I'm surprised how much you guys spent on
ambiance. >> Check out the >> You've got three controllers. Damn.
>> Check out the wires. Check out the wires. >> Uh, yeah. That's also not particularly
renter friendly, but sure. >> Oh, it would see it seemed to be that it
was allowed. Mhm. Uh-huh. Yeah. Interesting. Interesting. Fishing wire
through the walls. >> We have a We had a assortment of snacks
in various areas. The idea was that you had like the command position here.
>> Sure. >> So, this area was in range of like >> Okay. Okay. >> The receiver where the controllers get
stashed, the the uh the 3D glasses for
the 3D projector. Um >> that's not your PC, is it?
>> Oh, it totally is. >> Oh, that's unfortunate. We benchmarked
higher, >> which I'll explain shortly. Um,
unfortunately, we didn't have time to deal with the cable management.
>> No, we really didn't. >> That's a fun table. Have you seen it?
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah, I've seen these. >> One of those. >> It's pretty dirty.
>> Oh, Coca-Cola machine. >> Okay, you guys. Uh,
>> honestly, yeah. >> Did better than I thought. >> I meant to clean the table. I think we
forgot about that part. I don't think the judges noticed. >> I hope you turned off the light when
they were watching movies. did, but then they like turned it back on and I kept
trying to get them to turn it off, but they wanted to see it with it. >> Yeah,
>> that's part of it. >> That's unfortunate. >> Uh, do you want the explainer for the
computer? >> Let me see if I can figure it out.
>> Sure. >> Did you guys just use like
>> You can ask how much it was. Maybe that would help. >> Did you guys just use a streaming
service? >> We didn't use GeForce Now, >> but did you use a streaming service?
>> For sure. >> Yeah. Okay, that's pretty that's pretty
smart. So you guys would have been at 60 FPS in RDR2.
>> No, >> it was not smart. It was a huge problem
specifically because of our office. >> Oh,
>> firewalls, networking, and stuff. It's perfectly stable at my place, perfectly
stable at my parents place. Perfectly stable everywhere else. I tested it,
which was many places, including other areas of Canada. Not stable specifically
here. >> It was stable yesterday. It was stable this morning.
>> That is the drawback. >> That is the drawback. I accept it. It is
the drawback. I It's unfortunate that it's like decently related to our setup,
but that doesn't mean that it wouldn't be decently related to someone else's
setup. >> Yeah. >> So, it was a wise call to just turn off
that light. >> We technically swapped the bulb and the judges did ask about that. We made it a
little bit warmer. >> Yeah. >> But I did make a point of like that's
really not to be used unless you're like cleaning the room. >> Yeah, that's a good point. I like your
shelves. I I we were going to do shelves and then we ran out of time.
>> Yeah, these were very last minute. >> Yeah. >> Um we got slightly dinged because one of
them isn't level.
>> Little 3D printed battery covers. >> Nice. >> Also 3D printed thumb stick which didn't
get noticed. >> Nice. >> Yeah. >> We are now going to go through our
results category by category. >> Starting with Viveax, which is something
it sounds like it needs a prescription for.
the vibes. Really accessible and I would say well decorated space. I like
everything that's in there. I think most people would think it was pretty nice.
In three words, rental property core. The stylistic design is both bland but
clean enough that you could bring anybody there, including your mom.
>> It's a wellthoughtout space. It really is. There's a fridge, there's snacks,
all very well accessible. It is a little bit bland.
>> I'm giving Vibeax a 6 out of 10 for vibes.
I'm giving Vibe Max a seven out of 10 for vibes.
>> I'm giving Vibeax an eight out of 10 for vibe. >> On to movie experience.
>> Projector, not a line. Projector has scan lines. Adventure Time colors were weird. Uh contrast not ex not exciting,
but uh you know, it's okay, I guess. >> The projector and the surround setup at
first seemed like great ideas, but ultimately turned out to be the downfall
of this setup. The projector colors were super overcooked in the reds. People's
skins looked overly yellow and the hobbits looked like they were just dead
and they don't die. Spoilers. And then for the surround sound, it sounded like
all the audio that ought to be out of the front towers was coming out of this one surround speaker beside me. And I
had no sense of stereo panning. I just only got surround

due to technical difficulties. This was very hard for us to judge. However, it
was a technical difficulty that is well known with the strategy that was chosen.
Game streaming is only as good as your internet connection. And today's
internet connection was very bad. I felt the setup was incomplete. You went for
like a couch gaming setup with the PC, which I've had in the past, but you need
to have at minimum a wireless keyboard.
Your keyboard, it kind of made it to the couch area, but by and large, it was
designed to be used over in the corner. I'm not going to use that controller to
play an RTS. >> Having a rented computer, a cloud
streaming service, you would expect to play normal PC games rather than just
console games. Obviously, when we did do the benchmarks, we'd had good frames
overall, but it was ultimately unplayable.
>> For gaming, I'm giving Luke's team a six. Even though it didn't work so well,
you got to give points for the flexibility of the system. It is PC
gaming. It doesn't always just work, but you get more flexibility and freedom.
So, I like the spirit of the idea. You encapsulated my thoughts perfectly, and
I also gave them a 6 out of 10. >> You both said exactly what I was going
to say. It's also a six out of 10. >> Okay. >> Okay. Okay.
>> That could have been worse. Yeah. All right.
>> I mean, yay. Thank you. I appreciate your feedback. >> One extra point for Dan.
>> Starting with the vibes of the vibe zone. This is where it gets really tough
because while Luke's team went with a really kind of bland, soulless, but
accessible to everyone, whereas Lance's team took a stance, you might not like
it, but some people might really like it. And it just so happens if you've
been to a party at my house, you know I like the lights low.
They also play to the judge's strengths cuz I also like acoustic treatment. So,
I didn't mind the like Doritoshaped
things all over the wall. kind of dorky vibe, but you committed to the bit. But
you did choose one of the most uncomfortable couches I've ever uh been on. And even though you can sleep on it,
I would feel like that was a punishment. TV was precariously set upon pieces of
MDF. And I would rather spend time in a space that can be bright lights that
that doesn't feel like an 8-year-old's dream room. >> Walking into Lionus' room, you knew
exactly what it was going to be for. Um, you could tell this is a gamer space.
There were books available, but also no way to turn on the light more than it
was. So, reading is a punishment. The
last thing I'll say is there were quite fewer snacks in Lionus' room than there.
>> And their drinks were cold. >> There definitely was points changed
based on that factor. >> Oh, let's go, dude. >> I'm giving them a seven.
>> I respect the commitment to the bit. Not my vibe. Five out of 10.
>> I gave him an eight out of 10. On to the movie experience.
Just as in Luke's room with the gaming experience, Wi-Fi reared its ugly head.
We saw the lowest res copy of Adventure Time on in existence. And
>> well, that wasn't Wi-Fi. We were on the wire. >> So, we would have had the same issue.
>> More. >> But you also had a computer that you just chose not to use. You could have
maybe taken that computer and put a Plex server on it. Had some other home
theater PC. Instead, you uh decided to
look at the uh the letter of the law instead of the spirit of the law, and
you brought a working computer and ignored it. At least Luke had to use his
computer to stream his games. >> I'm just saying that copy of Adventure Time is not low res.
>> Oh, but it looks pretty bad. >> Yeah, our games run fine, too.
>> Yeah, >> sure, bud.
>> Movie experience was way better in Lionus's room. It was the right choice
to just do 3.1. Lionus was bang on when he said that the surround just had too
many extra waveforms fighting each other. Would have liked to have seen
some treatment behind the speakers themselves, not just above it on the
sidewalls. But hey, for the display, the color accuracy was actually, you know,
acceptable. And this TV was a lot brighter than your typical projector. So
that made a difference, too, even though we weren't watching in HDR.
>> Yeah, I have to say the TV was the first thing that I noticed with the movie
experience. Yes, it wasn't the best TV in the world, but to normie eyes like
mine, it was fairly fine. It made the movies look fine except Adventure Time.
The only thing to note with the movies was uh no 4K. They went for the uh
Blu-ray option, which was a good option, but on the PS5 there was no HDR. Points
off. >> I'm giving them a six, but my home
theater at home is really good. >> I'm giving them a seven.
>> And I am also giving them a seven. The final category is gaming.
PlayStation's just so much easier to use. Oh my god. However limited the
PlayStation may be, it was a very smooth experience and it felt great to play on
that TV with its game mode on. >> It would have been nice to have a keyboard and mouse cuz you know consoles
these days are kind of computers. >> To further that point, please.
>> You had a computer. You could have played games that aren't
on PlayStation on that computer. retro games, other easy to run games, but you
neglected to implement that. So Luke's system does have substantially more
flexibility in the kinds of games that you can play. >> Yeah, I will say not having the PC
available did really did hurt here. There wasn't even a mouse and keyboard
in that room, I don't think. I didn't see one. And with locked frame rates at
60 and 30 for Red Dead, that was pretty painful.
>> I do want to ask cuz I didn't get a confirmation. How many controllers did
we have in Lionus' room? >> More than one. >> Two.
>> Two. How many controls do we have in Luke's room? >> Three. >> Three. >> Three.
>> How many judges do we have? >> All of the judges could play a game at
the same time. We didn't >> details. >> Overall though, I'm calling this a wash.
A six again for Lian's team. I was pretty won over by the PlayStation.
However, I was disappointed by the lack of a PC, which is why I gave it a 9 out
of 10. Except I told Lionus at the start
that for not picking me, he loses a point. He made no effort to make that
better. So, he gets an eight out of 10.
>> And yes, it was a tough call. Both rooms are basically exactly the opposite,
which makes them exactly the same in the same way. Um, but overall, Lionus'
gaming experience was an 8 out of 10.
Oh, the score is tabulated and out of a
possible 90 points, there is only a
difference of five,
which means that the winner of Scrapyard Wars 2025
is team.
>> Oh, these are cool. >> Those are cool. >> These are like the best trophies yet.
>> Oh, yeah. Rub it in. Sure. Hey, you got you got trophies, too.
>> That is so sick. Great job, you guys.
>> Great work. It was >> I hope it's an No, it's not. I'm really surprised.
>> I'm surprised we judged as well as we did. I kind of wonder if they were like
being nice. Directing us towards Projector, which I've never worked with
a projector ever before, was a mistake. I genuinely spent at least half of my
time trying to diagnose shadow issues. >> We did not win the way I was expecting
to. No, no, not at all. >> We won on gaming. What were the odds?
>> The PS5 gave Adam a lot of points there.
>> Even with the one point deduction,
>> since season 1, there's been this concept of like if we somehow merged our
things, it would be so much better. And like if you guys had our couch,
>> our couch is more ass than the asses that sit on. I think we also got the
only secondhand copy of Cyberpunk in the entire lower mainland.
I wanted to get an Xbox Series X, but Returnal is still exclusive to
PlayStation and PC. >> PlayStation. Yeah, >> that would have given me cheaper
controllers, too. >> Ours were pretty banged up. We had to 3D print battery holders and thumb sticks.
That actually worked out. The 3D printing for the controllers was quite good. >> Almost as good as the Segway
>> to our sponsor. >> If you guys enjoyed Scrapyard Wars, why not go check out some of the earlier
seasons? They really are a great watch. It was It was a different time.
>> Yeah. GG. man.
