Now that the judges have seen everything and our teams have talked, we finally get to see each other's rooms.
Yeah, I'm kind of excited. Welcome to the Vibe Zone.
Oh, Mike, 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? Can you not wreck stuff?
Oh my, oh my, okay.
It's the same stuff that we lined the server room with.
Did they go after you for only two cushions? We debated on this so much.
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. So that's something. I am now 99% sure we saw this couch.
Yeah. On play games? Yeah.
No, no, go for it. Fraternals, go up, okay. Oh, I'm not gonna grab the other controller.
All right, hold on. The move of going with a PlayStation,
we knew because we heard the boot up sound through the wall.
The move of going with the PlayStation was, I think, pretty smart.
I knew there was no way you'd do it. So I knew it would be different.
That was a good call.
I hate dual shock controllers. This is dual sense.
Sure, whatever. I just, the non, 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? Because we were expecting audio to be a major strength for you guys.
Yeah, seems like there was maybe something messed up
with the balancing or something. I'm not sure yet.
That's unfortunate. James was unhappy, and he was sitting in the prime spot.
I was off on the side, so I couldn't hear it properly, but yeah. Yeah, I know.
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 sound bar that we sold for $100.
So 450? Plus tax. In total plus tax?
Yeah. What are the stats? 75 inches.
It's 4K HDR, but it's trashed here HDR.
It's edge lit on the bottom. Like we got 1080p blue rays of our movies
because we knew that HDR was not going to be a major advantage for us.
Right, yeah. 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. This is kind of a cool little collectible. You can fly that randomly on Facebook, where?
Atelize. 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 panel's on the roof.
From an aesthetic standpoint, I wouldn't have done it. Yeah.
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. Oh, it just sounds really sharp to me.
Well, that's probably a... It's supposed to.
Cool, okay. Do you want to see a movie? We did, yeah, sure. Do you want to just look around?
No, yeah, let's see. Because I mean, 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 too. And I was like, no. There was a comment made where it was like,
if this was black and leather, it would be bad.
Yeah, yeah. You got a little side chair. That's cool.
So you kind of got away from the two seat problem.
Because 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 rule stipulated that we needed a working PC.
There it is. It's not even plugged in.
It's so light. Oh, what the heck? Well, the heaviness doesn't impact the functionality.
No, I mean, if the rules said, yeah, if it, yeah, I mean,
that's, it's part of the game. That doesn't actually bother me.
Whatever. It works. I'm surprised you didn't like really try to hide it,
like put it in there or something. I, 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 developed.
Yeah. Okay. Yeah, sure. Our cable. Our 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 Jerry rig something.
I like it. This is awesome. We got this. 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
because I feel audio is half of the experience for both games and movies.
So the way that I saw it, audio was one third of the score.
Sort of the mentality. The paint job is a paint job.
Did they look that closely? Yeah, they probably only did because of you.
You probably made that more difficult on yourself just due to reputation.
Because when I heard you guys were painting, I was like, yeah, but it's like Linus, of course, he's painting.
Yeah. Yeah. So what was your team name? We were the scrappers.
Oh, I saw it. I read something vibe. No, no, I said our space was the vibe zone.
Got it. I just made that up. 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?
Vibe Maxers is the team name. We don't have a specific room. 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 until probably about 30 minutes before the competition.
Modern art. Modern art. You love to see it. Two 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 banana is facing 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 a huge amount of the wall,
considering how much of the wall we got.
That was one of the mistakes. I thought one of the requirements was rental-friendly.
Yeah, they won't notice. That is quite the hole in the wall. 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 $79.
That's not bad, though. It's 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 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.
Yeah, that's also not particularly rental-friendly, but sure.
It seemed to be that it was allowed.
Yeah, interesting. Interesting fishing wire through the walls.
We had an assortment of snacks in various areas.
The idea was that you had the command position here.
Sure, yep. So this area was in range of the receiver
where the controllers get stashed, the 3D glasses for the 3D projector.
That's not your PC, is it? Oh, it totally is. Oh, that's unfortunate.
We benchmarked higher, which I'll explain shortly.
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...
Honestly, yeah. Did better than I thought. I meant to clean the table.
We forgot about that part. I think the judge has noticed. I hope you turned off the light
when they were watching movies and playing games. We did, but then they turned it back on
and I kept trying to get them to turn it off, but they wanted to see it with it.
Yeah. It's part of it. That's unfortunate.
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 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.
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. 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 you 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. We were going to do shelves,
and then we ran out of time.
Yeah, these were very last minute.
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.
