1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,200 All hands on deck. Ah! Oh, God! 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:12,480 It's not on very well. I have good news and bad news. Which means that the winner of Scrapyard Wars 2025 is Scrapyard Wars! 3 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:20,040 This time we transform a completely empty room into an epic gaming movie watching paradise. 4 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:45,680 Our budget? 1,500 US dollars. 5 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,640 Even though we've procured all of our stuff and it's mostly in the room, we haven't figured 6 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,560 out our acoustic treatment, we haven't figured out our HDR issues. Slight bad news. 7 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,560 Bad news? First thing in the morning? Yep. 8 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,060 But I think I have a plan. I'll be back in like 30 minutes. 9 00:01:01,060 --> 00:01:06,040 30 minutes? Oh dude, I was really countowing on you to help me with the aesthetics. 10 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,640 Oh yeah, I'll be back for that. Natalie's not even here yet. She's buying snackies. 11 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:15,120 We've got the goods, the 12-pack Mountain Dew and a pack of Clu Ranch Doritos. 12 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,720 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. 13 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:25,520 We picked up all our stuff last night. I went to a furniture store and I went to their outlet section and it was like literally 14 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,800 a scrapyard. They had like extra broken pieces everywhere and I picked up what I could. 15 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,800 Picked up some wall art for cheap. Nice. Picked up some of this. 16 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,800 Floating shelf. Picked up some plant and vods. This is great. 17 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,040 Picked up this from the thrift store and then some more floating shelves, fake plants and 18 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,760 a candle, a basket and other throw pillows. I found some stuff. 19 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,320 I did get that. There you go. It's like 10 bucks, so whatever. 20 00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:51,360 This was a find and it's a little mini fridge. 21 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:56,640 Oh, you didn't show off the comic. One of the TV things that we're watching is adventure times. 22 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,040 And then the last thing was just a dollar store run. 23 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,920 Just a bunch of different snacks and stuff. I have a better one. 24 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,600 We'll explain that later. This is probably just going in the garbage. Oh yeah. 25 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,600 The mouse. It's like actually in pretty good condition. Okay. 26 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,560 How long is this going to take? Probably a while, unfortunately. 27 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,800 So if you can work around us to stick stuff on the walls, do it. 28 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:28,160 The projector not being mounted. It makes me want to cry in a pile of sadness, but we'll figure it out. 29 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,720 First thing we're going to do today is see if we can get the PlayStation running directly 30 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,320 to the TV. This receiver doesn't pass through HDR. 31 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:40,800 So right now, yeah, our movies and games look pretty good, but we're not getting HDR. 32 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,280 Wow. Two HDMI's on this. I know. 33 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,280 It's so budget. Weak sauce. At least it has arc. 34 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:53,000 Okay. Here we go. It's hard to tell if HDR is on or not, or if it's just the crappy panel. 35 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,800 Maybe try flipping HDR off and then flip it back on. Okay. 36 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:03,800 I'm pretty sure this is on. Panel might be fine, but our backlight is, does not have fully-random coldemming, so 37 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:09,600 it is what it is. Yeah. I still want to validate the sound because I didn't look at that too closely. 38 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:14,040 There we go. That looks like ass. 39 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:19,680 It does. Is Adventure Time not an HD on Prime? I wonder if the trial is SD. 40 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,320 It shouldn't be. Should we put a blue ray in to check and make sure the audio is working, and then maybe 41 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,320 you can... Grab dark nights. Sure. 42 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:31,320 All right. This is good here. 43 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,800 I think we're good. The print failed on the TV feet. 44 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,800 I need to make something that is low-profile, black, and hides in it. 45 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:47,480 We have these shelves that we took out. The idea is to cut these into something and basically precariously balance the TV on this. 46 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,520 It should be good enough, right? 47 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:58,080 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 48 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,040 this thin piece on both sides. They are ugly, but they should work. 49 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,560 Hmm. It's not going to be super stable. Oh, man. 50 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,560 Really, Sebastian? Time constraints. It's my best work. 51 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,760 Oh, dude. Not earthquake-related. Nope. 52 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,760 Okay. It's low-profile. Hmm. 53 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,760 It's black. Hmm. Ish. 54 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,760 Do you have a Sharpie? Penzer tools, right? Penzer tools. 55 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,760 Okay, so let's just give it some Sharpie and then... Sharpie and yeah, fill in that spot. Okay. 56 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,760 Oh, God. Are you putting it on studs? 57 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,760 Oh, God. Are you stripping the screw? No. 58 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,760 Can I borrow this? You can borrow that. Yeah, absolutely. 59 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:34,760 Oh, okay. 60 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,960 Does this look okay? It's kind of... It's very, very droopy. 61 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,960 Segi. It's upside down. Oh. 62 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:45,960 Cut all that out. 63 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:53,960 You're too far to the left. Yeah, but if I manipulate it anymore, I'm concerned the mount will, like, snap. 64 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:54,960 Yuckie. 65 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,960 Luke. Yep. I need you. 66 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,960 Thank you. I'm just going to grab one of these. 67 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,960 Sure. At a certain point, we're just going to snap it. 68 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,160 Plastic knives to the rescue. 69 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,160 Sammy. Yep. You're good. 70 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,160 Yeah, thank you. That's good for this part. 71 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,160 We're going to move the couch back. All right, let's get those out of here. 72 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,160 Dan, we're all set on cables. Anything extra I can take out? Start finishing it off. 73 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,160 Yeah, I don't know how to mount it. Do you know how to mount this stuff? 74 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,160 Yeah, yeah. There's a one here and one there. Yeah. 75 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,160 Okay. Sebastian, do you want to get Nat to help you with the wall panels? 76 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,160 I trust you two way more than at no offense. 77 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,360 I trust either of us. Yeah, we can do that. Do you want to do the lights? 78 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,360 Oh, no. Do they have a controller? Or do we need Wi-Fi? 79 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,360 It says it doesn't need Wi-Fi and it has a remote. Yes. 80 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,360 I'm on this, then, after I'm done sharpening. That looks so much better, though. 81 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,360 It doesn't really, like, stand out anymore. 82 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,360 You know what? That actually is not bad. 83 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,360 Did the Blu-ray come with a DVD or something? Because this looks like butt. 84 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,360 So, the Blu-ray. We do have alternatives because, theoretically, 85 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,560 it should be on here, too. So, this should come in UHD 86 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,560 after we get two minutes of ads. I can tell you the resolution of the ad sure isn't UHD. 87 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,560 Oh, man. There's so much compression blocking. 88 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,560 I know. Can we see the Blu-ray again? Yeah. 89 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,560 Maybe I was sitting too close before. Let's see. Yeah. 90 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,560 Keep this. Way less compression artifact. 91 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,560 It's a little softer because it's 1080, but it is way less compression. 92 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,560 Yeah. These are the 3D printed backs that Justin did. 93 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,760 It stands out on the white one, obviously, but it looks pretty good. 94 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,760 A couple of them had, like, ruined thumbstick tops. Both the top left. 95 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,760 The person who bought this room must have played a specific game. 96 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,760 It doesn't 100% look or feel perfect, 97 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,760 but it looks and feels a lot better than it did. So, I'll take that. 98 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,760 Justin, do you want to start getting a controller charged? 99 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,760 I don't know where I have it. No, the double A's. We're good. Yeah, the double A's. 100 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,760 Oh, thank you. These are honestly not getting any cleaner. Into the wire basket. 101 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:00,760 Okay. 102 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,760 Whoa. Wow. Hey, Dan. 103 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,760 What? Do you mind if we put the couch in place? No, I need it in place now. 104 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,760 Yeah, that would be great. Yeah, okay. I got to start doing my audio testing. 105 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,760 Whoa. Yeah, watch the projector. Yeah, sorry. 106 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,760 Being counted by hopes and dreams. Tilted now. 107 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,760 Oh, I'm sorry. This is the... 108 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,760 We're making designs. On the go. Yep. 109 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,760 I hope they look okay when they're dried. 110 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,760 That improves the hominess factor immensely. 111 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,760 Good call, Linus. How's the clap edge right now? 112 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,760 You can get the door. I think it's actually bouncing off the ceiling the most. 113 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,760 Do we want to put some triangles on this? I would. I would love to. 114 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,760 Maybe just like a couple bigger shapes. 115 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,760 Forty-five minutes. 116 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,760 Sebastian, I have good news and bad news. Bad news? 117 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,760 Bad news is the remote is not in here. We need the app. 118 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,760 That's fine. The app uses Wi-Fi. Can you use it to set it up and then... 119 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,760 Wait, is this one sealed? Hold on. Hold on. 120 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,760 Maybe this one has a remote. Ah, s***. No. 121 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,760 You know what? Yes, that was the good news, by the way. I think you're brilliant. 122 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,760 Thanks. We can set it up now because we're allowed to use Wi-Fi for setup. 123 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,760 And then it's set up. Yeah. Sick. 124 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:18,760 Thank you. 125 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:24,760 Oh, you got no. 126 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:27,760 That one's too heavy. 127 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,760 Hey, Sebastian. Want to play your favorite game again? I'm guessing it's bad news and bad news. 128 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,760 No, there's good news. Bad news is this strip doesn't work. 129 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,760 The good news is this one does. We have one strip. 130 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,760 We have one strip. Do we want underglow on the couch or bias lighting on the TV? 131 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,760 TV. I think TV. Not going to lie. 132 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,760 I was kind of hoping they'd say couch because that would have been a lot easier. But I think it's the right call because not only does bias lighting 133 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,760 improve the mood and the vibe, but it also is supposed to improve the perceived contrast, 134 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,760 which with our HDR and TV is going to be a plus. 135 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,760 I need to try not to knock this TV over. That would actually be disastrous right now. 136 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,760 I need you to go to the other side to help me stretch this across 137 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,760 all without knocking over the TV. Oh, wait, shoot. 138 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,760 We're over these cables. I got to hand it to you through the cables soon. 139 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,760 No, it has to go under this power cable. I can get behind. 140 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,760 I got this other side. Wait. 141 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,760 Oh, God. You got it. Okay. 142 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,760 I got my side. I got my side. It's not on very well. 143 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,760 It's on your side. Okay. I got it under the thing. 144 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,760 Okay. Okay. Oh, God. 145 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,760 No. Okay. No, no, your side. 146 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,760 Yeah. Yeah. Okay. 147 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,760 Is she still stable? Ish. No, we're good. 148 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:44,760 How does it always come down to the wire like this? It looks a bit like a real through set, but so far it works. 149 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,760 That's better than I was concerned we were going to be at like half an hour ago. 150 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,760 All hands on deck. We're centering the TV. I think you need to go more sub side. 151 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,760 Just a little bit. Okay. We're good. 152 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,760 Do we have anything that we can cover this up with? Oh, that's true. 153 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,760 The lighting lights it right up. What I'll do, I'll cut the shelf that we have over there into a strip. 154 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,760 We can just put it in front there. Do we want to go with like blue kind of light like lighting? 155 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,760 We should decide that right now. That's blue. 156 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,760 Yeah. Are we happy with what the bias lighting looks like? Yeah, I'm happy with it. 157 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,760 You're happy with it? Yeah. Are there any other little outstanding items that you have? 158 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,760 It would just be double checking to make sure that everything works. 159 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,760 Okay. Let's do that then. Are subwoofers not overcooked right now? 160 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,760 Maybe a little? Not much. 161 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,760 I've got the center boosted 3 dB right now. Give her another 2 dB. 162 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,760 No. Yeah. Yep. 163 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,760 We still need to clean the TV and clean the console. Front center. 164 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:41,760 Front light. I'm just checking to make sure that all the channels are working properly. 165 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,760 There we go. Dollarama, baby. I'm glad I got just the right amount of stuff. 166 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,760 I think I could have gotten a little more to fill up one of the shelves that I ended up putting the snacks on, 167 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:59,760 but I think I had the perfect amount of things on the amount of shelves that I got and a good amount of shelf. 168 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:04,760 Okay, we still have some time. I'm going to set up the banana because I got the best banana of them all. 169 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,760 This one, too bright. 170 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,760 So I'm just looking at what the piece looks like and we're going to do it the other way around 171 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,760 and make sure that we're not infringing on these. 172 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:21,760 What I'm working on just finished. I was working on connecting the Xbox controllers, all three are now connected. 173 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:29,760 So that's good. Do you want to come to my desktop background? It's a official Microsoft 4K version of the Windows XP Bliss background. 174 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,760 Another thing I noticed was in the shadow options under network, there was this setting 175 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,760 and it used to be set to like 20 or 30 and now it's at 70, so I should know. 176 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,760 No whole patch. Whole patch from the inside. 177 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,760 Scissorless, not available. Okay. Is that HD Bliss? 178 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,760 Oh my God. This one's really good for like reducing anxiety. 179 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,760 Yeah. It feels like a therapist room. 180 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,760 Yeah. That's not a thing that you should say. Yeah. 181 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,760 Alright, just keep going. Keep going. These fine art contemporary art pieces, you'll see like somebody who paints like an entire 182 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,760 canvas in red and you're like, I could do that, but it's actually about like the way 183 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,760 that you like use the brush a bajillion times to make it perfectly red. 184 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:11,760 I'm not an art major, but I'm trying my best to like notice the little details like where 185 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,760 the duct tape goes. Oh, I think it's ripped. I'm pretty sure the tape is not perfect. 186 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,760 It's supposed to be ripped. It is a living art piece though. 187 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,760 They literally update it all the time. Do you guys like the media on here or should I lose it? 188 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,760 Would it be better if they were tucked straight? I think it goes fine. 189 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,760 I think it goes fine. Oh, the flowers kind of died overnight, didn't they? 190 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,760 We can go last minute. 191 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,760 That's pretty sad. Yeah, that's pretty sad too. 192 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,760 What the hell? Do we not have any grass here? 193 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,760 What the? Where's Sebastian? He went to go pick flowers. 194 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,760 He's picking flowers. I need him to cut this. I don't wear the size. 195 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,760 He's picking flowers. Yeah, no. No, it makes sense. 196 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:47,760 Here. 197 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,760 Sebastian, I need another cable management hider. 198 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,760 Can we just break it in half? Yeah, I'll show you. I'll show you. 199 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,760 I'll show you. We've got some grass for touch grass. Okay, let's go. 200 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,760 Let's go. Let's go. Linus, what do you need? 201 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,760 This I could sharpie for a very short distance. Okay. Yeah, and then I can sharpie the other side and we can put it on the other side of the 202 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,760 thing. Oh, we still have to wipe down the TV. Ah! 203 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,760 The connection drops back at last. Why does the office's internet just suck so much? 204 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,760 Okay, that's all holes minus roof. Cool. 205 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,760 We've got to find something for the roof. 206 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,760 Pays off to be friends with logistics. They'll help you with things if you ask nicely. 207 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,760 Hey, Dan, you're up. 208 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,760 Now I just need to basically adjust the levels of them and then I'm done. 209 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,760 Okay, two people stabilized, one person clean. Do we have another sharpie? 210 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,760 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. 211 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,760 Just in the bottom corner, I don't know. Five minutes! Do you have a good reflection from the light to see? 212 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:47,760 Yeah. Okay, good. And then as soon as we're done wiping the TV, pancrats, I guess you get content on it. 213 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,760 Yeah. I will continue sharpieing. Okay, I think it's pretty good. 214 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,760 Okay. It's like a mode right here, so the base sounds like shit, but whatever. 215 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,760 We've got like no time left, so I give up. 216 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,760 Dan, I need the room for the last five minutes. We're done with audio. 217 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,760 We're good. Okay. 218 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,760 Oh, God. 219 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,760 That's very scary. Careful! It's definitely moved. 220 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,760 It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. 221 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,760 It's fine. Guys, be careful. Yeah. 222 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:26,760 Projector's moving. Yeah, I'm coming down now. Okay, final stage. 223 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:33,760 It's together. Unfortunately, the projector shifted, but the roof hole seems to be covered. 224 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,760 The banana's on the wall. The room is together, which honestly, oh, hey, there's still light coming through that hole. 225 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:44,760 Yeah, right there. I'm trying to make it so that the games are at least in like full screen before they get here. 226 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,760 Luke, does that work? Yeah. Wait, guys, quick. 227 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,760 Covers are naked. Oh, naked. 228 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,760 Let's do it. Naked, naked, naked. One minute! 229 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,760 One minute? Oh, wait. One last question, Nat. 230 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,760 Yes, yes, yes. From an aesthetic balance perspective, do you want the PC there or the little table thing 231 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,760 there? PC there. PC there? 232 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,760 You bet. 30 seconds. 30 seconds. 233 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,760 Can you confirm now that it is here that we like it there? Yeah, yeah, 30 seconds. 234 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,760 I'm going to turn the light back on. I think it all came together. 235 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,760 I turned the controller off intentionally so it doesn't drain the battery. 236 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,760 You know what? No, let's have it on. I think this is more welcoming. 237 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:30,760 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. 238 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,760 Okay. Pretty happy. Pretty happy. 239 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:40,760 I'm stoked. This is fire. Stop damaging the couch! 240 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,760 Jesus. With the rooms ready to go, it's time for the most important part of the week. 241 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:49,760 The judging. Linus, seeing as you got to pick your teammate second, would you like to be judged first 242 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,760 or second? What do you want? 243 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,760 I want to be judged second. 244 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,760 I want second. That's how it's going to be. 245 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:05,760 You know what? Why don't we flip for it? I actually baited you to exactly what I wanted, so I did not want to coin flip. 246 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,760 I wanted you to go. You want me to go first or second? Second. 247 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,760 You want me to go second? Oh, I want to go second. I have been baited. 248 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,760 Luke is a master. 249 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,760 Manipulator. Yeah. That's right. 250 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,760 Okay. Let's get the judging underway. 251 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:52,760 Welcome to the humble abode. 252 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,840 Having seen the rooms as they were before, very impressed. 253 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,160 It's supposed to be multimodal kind of. 254 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,360 This is not just a theater room. It's not just a gaming space. 255 00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:08,800 You want to be able to relax in here. There's drinks in the Coke fridge. 256 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,360 There's snacks in varieties of places. You can do whatever you want. 257 00:17:12,360 --> 00:17:19,960 Is that from MoMA? Ah, yes. We also have various pieces of art around the room, including a lower accurate banana 258 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:26,880 taped to wall, reversed orientation on purpose to make it legally distinct. 259 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,440 I do like the use of the acoustic paneling to, like, flank the sides of the projector 260 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:38,120 screen. I think it fills up the space pretty nice. The warm light is nice, although a lampshade maybe hiding that would have been a good touch. 261 00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:42,640 I was going to check if the surrounds are at the same height. 262 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,640 They're not. That one's higher. Yeah, that one's higher. 263 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,640 And crooked. Adjustable. We like to go with adjustable. 264 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,640 Okay. Good to know. Can I adjust it right now? 265 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:56,600 No. I prefer maybe not. This fridge beside me is incredibly loud. 266 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:02,600 It can be turned off. There's a switch on the back. There's actually coke in there if you would like a refreshing beverage. 267 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:09,600 No bribes. You're a lot nicer. I like this room a lot. 268 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:15,440 Quick? Yeah. It's a good size projector screen for this room. 269 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:20,680 It's not too big. Yeah, we didn't actually want it to feel like a movie room. 270 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,360 We wanted it to feel like a place you can hang out and you can also watch movies, you 271 00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:27,960 can also play games, you can also use computers, do whatever you want. It does not feel like that. 272 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,960 It feels like a movie room. Okay. All right. 273 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,560 It feels like a good movie room. I think the coffee table is nice. It's tough to judge you on the quality of the furniture. 274 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:40,160 I'm actually just impressed this couch is not trash. 275 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:47,400 It's okay. Still on the decor side, it's obviously a very clean space, Nordic even, but the cable 276 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,040 management situation here is a lot different than from here out. 277 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:58,720 Yeah. It makes me sad. I mean, we're able to get fully hidden cables for all of the speakers and mostly hidden 278 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,400 cables for the projector. You guys actually ran the wire through the wall. 279 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,400 Yeah. Kudos. That's a lot of work. 280 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:10,320 We also just, this reminded me, the projector also includes 3D, active 3D glasses. 281 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:15,360 Wow. So you can watch 3D movies if you're interested or not. 282 00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:19,920 Yeah. Did you get a 3, did you get us 3D media to test with? 283 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,920 No. You look good. 284 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:28,920 You've got the tech command seat and then you've got the snack command seat and they 285 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,640 can both, it's like a driver and passenger in a car. I got you. 286 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,640 Yeah. And then the person in the middle is just the king. Just enjoying life. 287 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,040 If you're really desperate, technically, I think it's like every six days you're supposed 288 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:46,400 to eat the banana and replace it. Honestly, it looks nice, but it is the vibe is rental property core. 289 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,600 Or hotel room I just got here. Feels like an Airbnb. 290 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:55,000 Yeah. It's just like really clean and like, then tasteful, like look at this damn base. 291 00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,640 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. 292 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,360 I will say right now, projector not even close to aligned. 293 00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:07,360 It's not keystone. It's at an angle. Is there a subwoofer? 294 00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:10,360 Yes. Yeah. It's down there. 295 00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:13,360 Yeah. Fuck. That sucks. 296 00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:19,920 Marceline's songs are so good. 297 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,240 Maybe I can get Marceline to write a song with me. 298 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,280 I've seen enough. So what resolution is this projector? 299 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,640 4K. Is this 4K content? 300 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:36,800 Yes. But no HDR. Projector can do HDR. 301 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:45,320 You decided there was no media software or controller for the computer? 302 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,800 Some sort of software interface that if I wanted to have a more couch like TV like experience. 303 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:56,040 Definitely considered it. Probably a very reasonable upgrade to go into over the next little while. 304 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,040 I like this though. It brings me back to my college days. Oh yeah. 305 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,160 Totally. Should we just have the lamp on instead? 306 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,160 How accessible is that? Oh my God. It's some. 307 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,160 It really changes it. It's bad. Yeah. 308 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,960 That does change things. I think you just wouldn't have it on when you're gaming. No. 309 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,520 So we don't have any smart bulbs or dimming bulbs. 310 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,640 And how are you doing the volume just on the knob with the AVR? Yeah. 311 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,760 Do you have a remote for the volume? The volume can be done here. I did it with the knob but you can do it with the controller. 312 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,720 The reds really blow out. Yeah. They're really overcooked. 313 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,960 Which is interesting because the yellows were really bad. 314 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,160 Were we trying to change? Frame rate. Because this is game streaming, right? 315 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:42,120 No idea. Yeah. Unless you have a very flawless and reliable internet connection, you end up with problems 316 00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:46,680 like this constantly. You're constantly troubleshooting. I just checked our network and everything's screwed. 317 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,680 All right. Give us the mouse. Let's do some lap. 318 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,680 Do they have a lap board? What have you got here? Oh, just a table. 319 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,960 It's not really designed for heavy keyboard and mouse use. 320 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,960 The keyboard wireless. No. Oh. 321 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:04,520 All right. We're having some office level technical difficulties that are making that our streaming service for games is not going to work. 322 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:10,920 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. 323 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,800 And we're going to have that for our performance benchmark portion. 324 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,200 But this is obviously going to affect the subjective portion, which the judges will elaborate 325 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,600 on later. The frame rate's running smoothly on their side. 326 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,360 And it's just that it's dropping packets or whatever sending to us. Yeah. 327 00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:30,040 You can see that like the minimum frame rate is still 51, so it's not dropping on their 328 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,160 end. Chug, chug, chug, chug. 329 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,760 97 average on the GPU. 330 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,160 It's such a weird thing. So you're very CPU limited in this one. 331 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,200 71 was the average. Max of 124. 332 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,640 That's better than a lock 60. All right. I think we've seen enough. 333 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:55,720 Let's take a look at the next room. Welcome, Games Master David, esteemed judges, to the Vibe Zone. 334 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,720 Oh my God. This is something. 335 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,720 Welcome to an 18-year-old's cool bedroom. 336 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,720 Hey, look at that. Hi. It's a lot of dew. 337 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:16,960 That's a lot of mountain dew. Painted sauna pan. The acoustic panels are making a huge change in here. 338 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,560 How old was the person who painted the walls? Eight or 80? 339 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:26,000 An adult? Is this spray paint? Don't touch that too hard. 340 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,000 What the? This is so you could get your center speaker there, Han. 341 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:36,000 That's so sketchy. These are because the shelves from this unit turned on end to jack up the height of the 342 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000 TV. That is so sketch. That's sketch as hell. 343 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,240 That's terrifying. I appreciate the multipurpose-ness of the space. 344 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,040 They actually included books. But no extra lighting. So you're... 345 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,320 Well, no, that light is adjustable. Is it RGB? 346 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,320 It's RGB. Why are they like Wi-Fi light? Smart light? 347 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,320 Control it right now. I like that little lamp shade on it. 348 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,320 The shade is a nice little... Oh, there you go. 349 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,320 Cock chair? I was just kidding. 350 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,320 I don't recommend the crack spot. Yeah, I sat right in the middle. 351 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,320 Oh. Oh, it's a love seat. That's why the chair... 352 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,320 No. What it is... It pulls out. 353 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,320 If you could move from all the... Oh, it's a sleeper. Dah, dah, dah, dah. 354 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,320 This is IKEA. Yeah, that's what we want. Boom. 355 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,320 The chair makes sense now. 356 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,320 There's no shadow of a doubt that that is a cock chair. 357 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:29,320 One of the key elements was how inviting the space is. We felt that having two controllers is far more inviting than one controller. 358 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,320 Golf with your friends? Or replace your golf with your friends? Golf with your friends? 359 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,320 Oh! Nice! Okay. 360 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,320 Immediate, hold on one. Good setup. Why does it not sound? 361 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,320 Yeah. Oh, sorry. Oh, well, hold on, hold on. 362 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,320 You wouldn't want to get up to change the volume. 363 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,320 I really like the choice to do an accent wall. 364 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,320 You had blue walls and then one that is a different color. 365 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,320 Backlighting also think is... 366 00:24:55,320 --> 00:25:00,320 I'm not going to say classy, but it's nice. It does have a distinctly kind of 90s vibe. 367 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,320 It's got Cineplex arcade energy. Yes. 368 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,320 The Doritos match the wall panel. Oh, yeah. 369 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,320 Oh, yeah, yeah. They're a Doritos vibe. Really bringing it together. 370 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,320 I do wish they had a ladder or something so they could keep it going higher to the ceiling. 371 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:18,320 It seems like it just like arbitrarily stops, but maybe they just ran out of panels. 372 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,320 We felt that the room was a little tall and almost aquarium feeling. 373 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:30,320 So it was a conscious decision not to put the sound panels up any higher than you normally would with about an eight foot ceiling. 374 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:35,320 We found that acoustically the ceiling panels made an enormous difference even though there's not that many of them. 375 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,320 Do you make the frames? No, this frame was free. 376 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:43,320 That reeks of free. Yeah. It reeks as free, almost as free as a Pearl Harbor poster. 377 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:48,320 No, we paid for that. Hey, that has an actual film strip from the film. 378 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,320 Wow. That's collectible. What are you sitting on? 379 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,320 Oh, I'm just sitting on a little... 380 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,320 Oh, the IKEA basket. 381 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,320 Convenient little basket slash table. I like the pullable side table. 382 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,320 It's a little high. Is it not compatible with this couch? 383 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,320 Works perfectly until you go to pull it out. 384 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,320 So we positioned it here. Let's try. 385 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,320 So the idea is that it can... 386 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,320 There you go. That was about that far. That was not worth the effort. 387 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:22,320 Yeah, that's why we had it where we had it. For the most part, really clean job on cutting the audio. 388 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,320 Was that like sauna pan or whatever? It feels like it's the stuff we use in the server room. 389 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,320 The cuts are pretty clean. When you get the ones close here, it looks pretty dirty. 390 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,320 But when you're far away, it just looks cheap. 391 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,320 It was cheap. Yeah, especially the screws through the middle of them. 392 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:43,320 I think that we're really focused on minor details like whether there's a screw hole and we're ignoring... 393 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,320 I think we can hold two things in our minds at once. 394 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,320 You have a PC and a PlayStation. We do. 395 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,320 We have a working PC. It's not plugged in. Nope. 396 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,320 The rules only stipulate that you must have a working PC, which we do. 397 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,320 The lighting strip behind the TV. Just one color? 398 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,320 Yes. It's bias lighting. So it's intended to improve contrast. 399 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,320 It's not for vibe. I'm mostly impressed at the size of the speakers. 400 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:15,320 Do you have any surrounds? We felt that in such a small room with the budgetary constraints that we were under, 401 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,320 choosing acoustic treatment over surround speakers was a no-brainer. 402 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,320 We could have surround speakers in here, but if we had reflections all over the place, 403 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,320 you'd basically just be sitting in a massive positional audio. 404 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,320 Shall we watch something? Sure. 405 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:37,320 It's hard to judge this when we're watching such a low-resolution version of it because of the internet right now. 406 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,320 Yeah, which movie did you want? Sorry? 407 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:45,320 The Return of the King. Just pointing out that as a bonus, we have all three. 408 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,320 Is there no control for the light? 409 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,320 There is. How do you control it? 410 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,320 With an app. Oh wait, well yeah, you can turn it off. You can turn it completely off. 411 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,320 Sure, yeah. You want it off, then by all means. Let's see if it off for now because we had it on last one. 412 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,320 You sure? Oh, okay. The film green's aggressive. 413 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,320 And I'm thinking that there's processing on the TV that's making it worse. 414 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,320 HDR on? These are the non-4K blue rays. 415 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,320 How are you guys enjoying the size of the TV? I think it's an ideal size for the space. 416 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,320 Good height, too. If you just ignore how it got to that height. 417 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:18,320 Yeah. 418 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,320 The sub sounds so much like it is over there. 419 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,320 At least in my sitting position. It might be better when you're closer to the corners. 420 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,320 I didn't notice that. For me, I was just like, wow, that is where the sub is. 421 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:40,320 I was surprised at how the directional audio came through still quite a lot even though 422 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,320 there is no surround actual with the zipline scene specifically. 423 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,320 I would almost hazard to say that these speakers might be a bit too much for the room. 424 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,320 There's times where it feels almost like shouty. 425 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:56,320 Like there's some very noticeable peaks for me that didn't feel great to hear. 426 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,320 It was like uneven, in a sense. All right, that's enough Chris for Nolan. 427 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,320 Let's play some games. We have two controllers. Just thought I'd point that out. 428 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,320 You've said that a bunch of times, like you think they only have one. I don't know how many. 429 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,320 I don't know what they have. But there's three of us. I just don't know. 430 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,320 Yeah, you have less. We can't all play together. 431 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,320 But look at the quality of these controllers. Dual sense, no stick drift. 432 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,320 It feels really smooth. It's PlayStation. Yeah, there's the stuff to beat. 433 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:27,320 All right, Red Dead Redemption 2 gaming. This game came out on the PS4 and it's locked at 30 on the PS5. 434 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,320 Rockstar ass move. I mean, it's this for the next 25 minutes. 435 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,320 Yeah. All right, is there another game? 436 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,320 It looks like a good experience. It was made for this console. 437 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,320 Yeah, it's like rock solid. Yeah, feels nice. 438 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:53,320 All right, I've seen enough. Well, hold on there. Before we get to the results, I want to tell you about a Floatplane exclusive stream that's going to be happening on Tuesday, September 9th. 439 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:58,320 Where me and pretty much all the contestants are going to watch through the show, talk about our experiences, 440 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,320 and sort of let you in on some of the behind the scenes secrets that happened. 441 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,320 And that's going to be happening over on LMG.GG slash Floatplane. 442 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,320 So you don't want to miss that. Now back to the video. 443 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,320 We are now going to go through our results category by category. 444 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,320 Starting with Vibe Max, which is something that sounds like it needs a prescription for it. 445 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,320 The vibes really accessible and I would say well decorated space. 446 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,320 I like everything that's in there. I think most people would think it was pretty nice. 447 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:34,320 In three words, rental property core. The stylistic design is both bland, but clean enough that you could bring anybody there, including your mom. 448 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,320 It's a well thought out space. It really is. 449 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,320 There's a fridge, there's snacks, all very well accessible. 450 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:45,320 It is a little bit bland. I'm giving Vibe Max a 6 out of 10 for vibes. 451 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,320 I'm giving Vibe Max a 7 out of 10 for vibes. 452 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,320 I'm giving Vibe Max an 8 out of 10 for vibe. 453 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,320 On to movie experience. 454 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,320 Projector not aligned. 455 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,320 Projector has scan lines. Adventure time colors were weird. 456 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,320 Contrast not exciting, but it's okay, I guess. 457 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,320 The projector and the surround setup at first seemed like great ideas, 458 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,320 but ultimately turned out to be the downfall of this setup. 459 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,320 The projector colors were super overcooked in the reds. 460 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,320 People's skins looked overly yellow and the hobbits looked like they were just dead. 461 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:24,320 And they don't die, spoilers. And for the surround sound, it sounded like all the audio that ought to be out of the front towers 462 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,320 was coming out of this one surround speaker beside me and I had no sense of stereo panning. 463 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,320 I just only got surround. 464 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,320 Overall, good screen size and it worked. 465 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,320 You click the movie, it played. Sound worked, volume worked. 466 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,320 And high quality files from a totally legal source. 467 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,320 I think you mean click the Linux ISO. 468 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,320 5, a 6 out of 10. 7 out of 10. 469 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:52,320 A theme is emerging. It's going down. 470 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,320 The gaming experience. 471 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,320 Due to technical difficulties, this was very hard for us to judge. 472 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:06,320 However, it was a technical difficulty that is well known with the strategy that was chosen. 473 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,320 Game streaming is only as good as your internet connection. 474 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,320 And today's internet connection was very bad. 475 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:18,320 I felt the setup was incomplete. You went for like a couch gaming setup with the PC, which I've had in the past, 476 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,320 you need to have at minimum a wireless keyboard. 477 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,320 Your keyboard, it kind of made it to the couch area, 478 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,320 but by and large it was designed to be used over in the corner. 479 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,320 I'm not going to use that controller to play an RTS. 480 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,320 Having a rented computer, a cloud streaming service, 481 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:37,320 you would expect to play normal PC games rather than just console games. 482 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:42,320 Obviously, when we did do the benchmarks, we'd had good frames overall, 483 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:47,320 but it was ultimately unplayable. For gaming, I'm giving Loot's team a 6. 484 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:53,320 Even though it didn't work so well, you got to give points for the flexibility of the system. 485 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:58,320 It is PC gaming. It doesn't always just work, but you get more flexibility and freedom. 486 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:03,320 So I like the spirit of the idea. You encapsulated my thoughts perfectly, and I also gave them a 6 out of 10. 487 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,320 You both said exactly what I was going to say. 488 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:11,320 It's also a 6 out of 10. Oh, okay. 489 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,320 I could have been worse. 490 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,320 I mean, yay, thank you. 491 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,320 I appreciate your feedback. One extra point for Dan. 492 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:32,320 Starting with the vibes of the Vibe Zone. This is where it gets really tough because while Loot's team went with a really kind of bland, soulless, 493 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,320 but accessible to everyone, whereas Linus' team took a stance. 494 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,320 You might not like it, but some people might really like it. 495 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:45,320 And it just so happens, if you've been to a party at my house, you know I like the lights low. 496 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:49,320 They also played to the judges' strengths because I also like acoustic treatment. 497 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:54,320 So I didn't mind the Doritos-shaped things all over the wall. 498 00:33:54,320 --> 00:34:00,320 Kind of dorky vibe, but you committed to the bit. But you did choose one of the most uncomfortable couches I've ever been on. 499 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,320 And even though you can sleep on it, I would feel like that was a punishment. 500 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,320 TV was precariously set upon pieces of MDF, 501 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:13,320 and I would rather spend time in a space that can be bright lights that doesn't feel like an eight-year-old's dream room. 502 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,320 Well, walking into Linus' room, you knew exactly what it was going to be for. 503 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,320 You could tell this is a gamer space. 504 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:27,320 There were books available, but also no way to turn on the light more than it was, so reading is a punishment. 505 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:33,320 The last thing I'll say is there were quite fewer snacks in Linus' room than there was. 506 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:39,320 And their drinks were cold. There definitely was points changed based on that fact. 507 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,320 Let's go, dude. I'm giving them a seven. 508 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,320 I respect the commitment to the bit, not my vibe. 509 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,320 Five out of ten. I gave them an eight out of ten. 510 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,320 On to the movie experience. 511 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,320 Just as in Luke's room, with the gaming experience, Wi-Fi reared its ugly head. 512 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,320 We saw the lowest res copy of Adventure Time on In Existence. 513 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,320 Well, that wasn't Wi-Fi. We were on the wire. 514 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:11,320 So we would have had the same issue. But you also had a computer that you just chose not to use. 515 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:16,320 You could have maybe taken that computer and put a Plex server on it, had some other home theater PC. 516 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:22,320 Instead, you decided to look at the letter of the law instead of the spirit of the law, 517 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:27,320 and you brought a working computer and ignored it. At least Luke had to use his computer to stream his games. 518 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,320 I'm just saying that copy of Adventure Time is not low res. 519 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,320 Oh, but it looks pretty bad. Our games run fine, too. 520 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,320 Yeah, sure, bud. 521 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:43,320 Movie experience was way better in Linus's room. It was the right choice to just do 3.1. 522 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:48,320 Linus was bang on when he said that this round just had too many extra waveforms fighting each other. 523 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:52,320 Would have liked to have seen some treatment behind the speakers themselves, 524 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:59,320 not just above it on the side walls. But hey, for the display, the color accuracy was actually, you know, acceptable. 525 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,320 And this TV was a lot brighter than your typical projector, so that made a difference too, 526 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:10,320 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. 527 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:16,320 Yes, it wasn't the best TV in the world, but to normie eyes like mine, it was fairly fine. 528 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,320 It made the movies look fine except Adventure Time. 529 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,320 The only thing to note with the movies was no 4K. 530 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:30,320 They went for the Blu-ray option, which was a good option, but on the PS5 there was no HDR, points out. 531 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,320 I'm giving them a 6, but my home theater at home is really good. 532 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:39,320 I'm giving them a 7. And I am also giving them a 7. 533 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,320 The final category is gaming. 534 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:55,320 PlayStation is 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. 535 00:36:55,320 --> 00:37:00,320 It would have been nice to have a keyboard and mouse because, you know, consoles these days are kind of computers. 536 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,320 To further that point, please. You had a computer. 537 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,320 You could have played games that aren't on PlayStation, on that computer. 538 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:17,320 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. 539 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,320 I will say, not having the PC available, it really did hurt here. 540 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,320 There wasn't even a mouse and keyboard in that room, I don't think. 541 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:29,320 I didn't see one. And with locked frame rates at 60 and 30 for Red Dead, that was pretty painful. 542 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:35,320 I do want to ask, because I didn't get a confirmation, how many controllers did we have in Linus's room? 543 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,320 More than one. Two. Two. 544 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,320 How many controllers do we have in Luke's room? Three. Three. 545 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,320 How many judges do we have? All of the judges could play a game at the same time. 546 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:50,320 We didn't. Details. Overall though, I'm calling this a wash, a six again for Linus's team. 547 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,320 I was pretty won over by the PlayStation. 548 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:58,320 However, I was disappointed by the lack of a PC, which is why I gave it a 9 out of 10. 549 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:04,320 Except, I told Linus at the start that for not picking me, he loses a point. 550 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,320 He made no effort to make that better. 551 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,320 So he gets an 8 out of 10. 552 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:19,320 And yes, it was a tough call. Both rooms are basically exactly the opposite, which makes them exactly the same in the same way. 553 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:25,320 But overall, Linus's gaming experience was an 8 out of 10. 554 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:33,320 The score is tabulated and out of a possible 90 points, there is only a difference of 5. 555 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:42,320 Which means that the winner of Scrapyard Wars 2025 is Team Linus. 556 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,320 Oh, these are cool. Those are cool. 557 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,320 These are like the best trophies yet. Oh yeah, rub it in. 558 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,320 Sure. Hey, you got trophies too. 559 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,320 So sick. Great job you got. 560 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,320 I hope it's an L. No, it's not. 561 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,320 I'm really surprised. I'm surprised we judged as well as we did. 562 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:12,320 I kind of wondered if they were like being nice. Directing us towards Projector, which I've never worked with a Projector ever before, was a mistake. 563 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:18,320 I genuinely spent at least half of my time trying to diagnose shadow issues. 564 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,320 We did not win the way I was expecting to. No, not at all. 565 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,320 We won on gaming. Over with the odds. 566 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,320 The PS5 gave Adam a lot of points there. 567 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,320 Even with the one point deduction. 568 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:37,320 Since season one, there's been this concept of like if we somehow merged our things, it would be so much better. 569 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:41,320 And like if you guys had our couch. Our couch is more ass than the asses that sit on. 570 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:46,320 I think we also got the only second hand copy of Cyberpunk in the entire Lower Mainland. 571 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:51,320 I wanted to get an Xbox Series X, but Returnal is still exclusive to PlayStation and PC. 572 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,320 PlayStation, yeah. That would have given me cheaper controllers too. 573 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:58,320 Ours were pretty banged up. We had the 3D print battery holders and thumb sticks. 574 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,320 It actually worked out. The 3D printing for the controllers was quite good. 575 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:07,320 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. 576 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:11,320 They really are a great watch. It was a different time. 577 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,320 Yeah. GG. GG man.
