We haven't figured out our HDR issues. 00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:14.880 >> Slight bad news. >> Bad news. First thing in the morning. 00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:20.159 >> Yep. >> But I think I have a plan. >> I'll be back in like 30 minutes. 00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:23.439 >> 30 minutes. Oh, dude. I was really counting on you to help me with the 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:28.080 aesthetics. >> Oh, yeah. I'll be back for that. >> Natalie is not even here yet. She's 00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:32.640 buying snackies. >> We got the goods. The 12-pack Mountain 00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:35.439 Dew and a pack of Cool Ranch Doritos. We still have about $2 left. I think this 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:40.640 is going to be good. I'm going to bribe the judges with these gamer snacks. >> We picked up all our stuff last night. 00:01:38.479 --> 00:01:43.840 >> I went to a furniture store and I went to their outlet section and it was like 00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:48.399 literally a scrapyard. They had like extra broken pieces everywhere and I picked up what I could. Picked up some 00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:53.600 wall art for cheap. Picked up some of this. shelf. >> Picked up some plant and picked up this 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:57.759 from the thrift store and then some more floating shelves. Fake plants and a 00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:03.200 candle. A basket and another throw pillows. >> I found some stuff. I did get that art. 00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:07.840 There you go. That was like 10 bucks. So, whatever. This was a find. And it's 00:02:06.320 --> 00:02:11.039 a little mini fridge. Oh, you didn't show 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:13.920 off your the the comic. >> One of the TV things that we're watching 00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:18.000 is Adventure Time. >> And then the last thing was just a 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:23.200 dollar store run. Just a bunch of different snacks and stuff. Uh, 00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:28.080 >> I have a better one. >> We'll explain that later. This is probably just going in the garbage. Oh, 00:02:26.239 --> 00:02:33.200 yeah. The mouse. It's like actually in pretty good condition. >> Okay. 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:37.280 >> How long is this going to take? >> Probably a while, unfortunately. So, if 00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:43.360 you can work around us to stick stuff on the walls, do it. >> The projector not being mounted makes me 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:47.519 want to cry in a pile of sadness, but um, we'll figure it out. First thing 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:51.519 we're going to do today is see if we can get the PlayStation running directly to 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:56.640 the TV. This receiver doesn't pass through HDR. So, right now, yeah, our 00:02:54.160 --> 00:03:00.640 movies and games look pretty good, but we're not getting HDR. Wow. Only two 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:03.519 HDMIs on it. >> I know. It's so budget. 00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:08.480 >> Weak sauce. >> At least it has ARC. >> Okay, here we go. 00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:12.239 >> It's hard to tell if HDR is on or not, or if it's just the crappy panel. 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:15.440 >> Maybe try flipping HDR off and then flip it back on. Okay, 00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:20.400 >> I'm pretty sure this is on. >> Panel might be fine, but our backlight 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:25.200 is does not have full array local dimming, so it is what it is. 00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:26.480 >> Yeah, I still want to validate the sound 00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:31.280 because I didn't look at that too closely. There we go. 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:36.959 >> That looks like ass. >> It does. >> Is Adventure Time not in HD on Prime? I 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:39.280 wonder if the trial is SD. >> It shouldn't be. 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.940 >> Should we put a Blu-ray in to check and make sure the audio is working and then maybe you have Dark Knight? 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:46.039 >> Sure. 00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:52.480 All right, >> this is good here. >> I think we're good. 00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:56.879 >> The print failed on the TV feet. I need to make something that is low profile, 00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:02.400 black, and hides in it. We have these shelves that we took out. The idea is to 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:08.599 cut these into something and basically precariously balance the TV on this. It 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.599 should be good enough, right? 00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:15.680 And this is our new feet. We're going to put one like this, one like this, and 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:21.519 the TV is just going to rest on this thin piece on both sides. They are ugly, 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:24.400 but they should work. >> It's not going to be super stable. 00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:28.160 >> Oh, man. Really, Sebastian? >> Time constraints. It's my best work. 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:30.240 >> Oh, dude. This is sketch. >> Not earthquake rated. 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:34.080 >> Nope. >> Okay. >> It's low profile. 00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:37.520 >> It's black. >> Mhm. >> Is Do you have a Sharpie? >> Pens are tools, right? 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:42.560 >> Pens are tools. >> Okay. So, let's just give it some Sharpie and then >> Sharpie and Yeah. fill in that spot. 00:04:40.960 --> 00:04:46.160 >> Okay. >> Oh god. >> Are you putting it on studs? 00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:49.919 >> Oh god. >> Are you stripping the screw? >> No. Can I borrow this? 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:56.000 >> You can borrow that. Yeah, absolutely. >> Oh, okay. 00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:00.160 >> Does this look okay? It's kind of >> It's very very droopy, 00:04:59.520 --> 00:05:07.199 >> saggy. >> It's upside down. Now it's upside down. >> Oh, cut all of that out. 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:12.110 >> You're too far to the left. Yeah, but if I manipulate it anymore, I'm I'm 00:05:09.039 --> 00:05:16.479 concerned the mount will like snap. 00:05:16.479 --> 00:05:22.240 >> Luke, I need you. >> Thank you. 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:26.080 >> Just going to grab one of these. >> Sure. 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:30.400 >> At a certain point, we're just going to accept it. Yeah. >> Plastic knives to the rescue. 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:36.000 >> Sammy. >> Yeah, >> you're good. >> Yeah. Thank you. 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:39.520 >> That's good for this part. We're going to move the couch back. All right, let's get this out of here. 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:43.280 >> Uh, Dan, we're all set on cables. Anything extra I can take out? Start finishing it off. 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.240 >> 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. 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:51.360 >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Sebastian, do you want to get Nat to 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.960 help you with the wall panels? I trust you two way more than No offense. Um, I 00:05:53.919 --> 00:05:59.520 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 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:04.000 we need Wi-Fi? >> It says it doesn't need Wi-Fi and it has a remote. 00:06:01.840 --> 00:06:07.199 >> Yes. I'm on this then after I'm done sharping. That looks so much better 00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:10.199 though. It doesn't really like stand out anymore. 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:17.600 You know what? That actually is not bad. 00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:20.720 >> Did the Blu-ray come with a DVD or something? Because this looks like Butt. 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:26.080 >> Says Blu-ray. >> Uh, >> we do have alternatives because 00:06:24.479 --> 00:06:30.479 theoretically it should be on here, too. So, this should come 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:34.160 >> in UHD after we get 2 minutes of ads. >> I can tell you the resolution of the ad 00:06:32.080 --> 00:06:37.520 sure isn't UHD. Oh man, there's so much compression 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:42.639 blocking. >> I know. >> Can we see the Blu-ray again? >> Yep. >> Maybe I was sitting too close before. 00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:46.160 Let's see. >> Yeah. Keep this. Way less compression 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:52.160 artifacts. >> It's a little softer because it's 1080, but it is way less compression. 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:55.199 >> Yeah, these are the 3D printed backs that Justin did. Stands out on the white 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:59.440 one, obviously, but it looks pretty good. A couple of them had like ruined 00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:02.400 thumb stick tops. Both the top left. This the person we bought this from must 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:07.680 have played a specific game. doesn't 100% look or feel perfect, but it looks 00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:11.520 and feels a lot better than it did. So, I'll take that. >> Um, Justin, do you want to start getting 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:15.599 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. 00:07:13.840 --> 00:07:20.360 >> Oh, thank these are honestly not getting any cleaner. >> Into the wire basket. 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.360 >> Okay. 00:07:20.400 --> 00:07:25.039 >> Wa. Wow. >> Dan, what >> do you mind if we put the couch in 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:31.840 place? >> No, I need it in place now. That would be great. >> Yeah. Okay. >> I got to start doing my audio testing. 00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:37.199 Whoa. >> Yeah. Watch the projector. >> Yeah. Sorry. >> Being held by Hilton Dreams. 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:41.120 >> Tilted now. >> Oh, I'm sorry. 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:46.080 >> This is the uh We're making designs >> on the go. >> Yep. 00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:52.400 >> I hope they look okay when they're dried. 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.240 That improves the homeiness factor immensely. 00:07:53.280 --> 00:07:58.240 >> Good call, Linus. >> How's the clap edge right now? 00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:01.360 >> You can get the door. I think it's actually bouncing off the ceiling the most. 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:07.680 >> Do we want to put some triangles on this? >> I would I would love to. Maybe just like 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:10.080 a couple bigger shapes. 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:12.000 >> 45 minutes. >> Sebastian, I have good news and bad 00:08:11.520 --> 00:08:16.479 news. >> Uh, bad news. >> Bad news is the remote is not in here. 00:08:15.039 --> 00:08:20.400 >> Then we need the app. That's fine. The app >> app uses Wi-Fi. 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:25.199 >> Can you use it to set it up? And then >> Wait, is this one sealed? Hold on. Hold 00:08:22.080 --> 00:08:26.639 on. Maybe this one has a remote. A no. 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:31.759 You know what? Yes, that was the good news, by the I think you're brilliant. Excellent. We can set it up now cuz 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:37.840 we're allowed to use Wi-Fi for setup and then set up. >> Y sick. 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:41.200 Thank you. 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:48.959 Oh god. No. That one's too heavy. 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:53.200 >> Hey Sebastian, want to play your favorite game again? >> I'm guessing it's bad news and bad news. 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:56.080 >> No, there's good news. Bad news is this strip doesn't work. >> Okay. 00:08:54.560 --> 00:09:01.279 >> The good news is this one does. >> Oh. One strip. >> We have one strip. Do we want underglow 00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:03.519 on the couch or bias lighting on the TV? >> TV. >> I think TV. 00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:08.160 >> 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 00:09:06.560 --> 00:09:12.720 right call because not only does bias lighting improve the mood and the vibe, 00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:18.399 but it also is supposed to improve the perceived contrast, which with our HDR 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:22.320 TV is going to be a plus. Try not to knock this TV over. That would actually 00:09:20.160 --> 00:09:25.680 be disastrous right now. I need you to go to the other side to help me stretch 00:09:24.160 --> 00:09:29.040 this across all without knocking over the TV. Oh, wait. Shoot. We're over 00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:32.880 these cables. I got to hand it to you through the cables, too. 00:09:30.880 --> 00:09:38.399 >> No, it has to go under this power cable. I can get behind. I got this other side. 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:41.279 Wait. Oh, god. You got it. Okay. I got my side. I got my side. 00:09:39.760 --> 00:09:44.480 >> 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. 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:50.320 >> Okay. >> Okay. Oh god. Oh. 00:09:48.560 --> 00:09:54.399 >> Okay. >> Down on your side. >> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Is she still stable? 00:09:54.000 --> 00:10:01.519 Is >> now we're good. How does it always come down to the wire like this? 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:04.480 >> Looks a bit like a real set, but so far it works. That's better than I was 00:10:02.959 --> 00:10:07.680 concerned we were going to be at like half an hour ago. >> All hands on deck. We're centering the 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:12.000 TV. >> I think you need to go on more step side. Just a little bit. 00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:16.000 >> Okay, we good. >> Do we have anything that we can cover this up with? 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:20.560 >> Oh, that's true. The lighting lights it right up. >> What I'll do, I'll cut the shelf that we 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:25.200 have over there into a strip. We can just put it in front there. >> Do we want to go with like blue kind of 00:10:23.760 --> 00:10:27.279 light like lighting? We should decide that right now. >> Dad, the blue. 00:10:26.880 --> 00:10:31.519 >> Yeah. >> Are we happy with what the BIOS lighting looks like? >> Yeah, I'm happy with it. 00:10:30.560 --> 00:10:35.600 >> You're happy with it? >> Are there any other little outstanding items that you have, Pancrrets? 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:41.120 >> It would just be double- checking to make sure that everything works. >> Okay, let's do that then. 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:45.920 >> Our subwoofer is not overcooked right now. >> Maybe a little, not much. 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:48.560 >> I've got the center boosted 3dB right now. >> Give her another 2dB. 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.079 >> No. >> Yeah. >> Yep. We still need to clean the TV and 00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:57.519 clean the console. >> Front center. Front. I'm just checking 00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:01.600 to make sure that uh all the channels are working properly. 00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:06.160 >> There we go. >> Dollarama, baby. >> I'm glad I got just the right amount of 00:11:04.959 --> 00:11:09.680 stuff. I think I could have gotten like a little more to fill up like one of the 00:11:08.079 --> 00:11:13.920 shelves that I ended up putting like the snacks on, but I think I had like the 00:11:11.760 --> 00:11:18.320 perfect amount of things on the amount of shelves that I got and a good amount 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:23.279 of shelf. Okay, we still have some time. I'm going to set up the banana cuz I got 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:28.320 the best banana of them all. This one too bright. 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:31.040 >> So, I'm just looking at what the piece looks like. And we're going to do it 00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:35.519 like the other way around to make sure that we're not infringing on. 00:11:33.920 --> 00:11:38.640 >> What I'm working on just finished. I was working on connecting the Xbox 00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:42.640 controllers. All three are now connected. So, that's good. You like my 00:11:40.880 --> 00:11:47.920 desktop background? It's a official Microsoft 4K version of the Windows XP 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:51.920 Bliss background. Another thing I noticed was in the shadow options under 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:55.839 network there was this setting and it used to be set to like 20 or 30 and now 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:59.920 it's at 70. So that should help. >> No hole patch. We'll patch him uh from 00:11:57.920 --> 00:12:05.360 the inside. Scissor list not available. >> Okay. >> Is that HD bliss? Oh my god. This room 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:10.160 is really good for like reducing anxiety. >> Yeah. >> It feels like a therapist room. 00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:12.079 >> That's not a thing that you should say. >> Yeah. All right. Just keep going. Keep 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:18.240 going. >> These fine art contemporary art pieces. You'll see like somebody who paints like 00:12:16.160 --> 00:12:22.560 an entire canvas in red and you're like, I could do that. But it's actually about 00:12:19.680 --> 00:12:26.240 like the way that you like use the brush a bajillion times to make it perfectly 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:30.560 red. I'm not an art major, but I'm trying my best to like notice the little 00:12:27.920 --> 00:12:33.360 details like where the duct tape goes. Oh, I think it's ripped. 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:36.320 >> I'm pretty sure the tape is not perfect. >> It's supposed to be ripped. 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:39.760 >> It is a living art piece, though. They literally update it all the time. 00:12:38.079 --> 00:12:43.600 >> Do you guys like the media on here, or should I lose it? Would it be better if they were tucked straight? 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:48.800 >> Straight an angle's fine. I think it goes fine. >> Oh, the flowers kind of died overnight, didn't they? 00:12:46.800 --> 00:12:54.079 >> We can go last minute. >> Uh, that's pretty sad. No, that's pretty 00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:56.480 sad, too. What the hell? Do we not have any grass here? What the 00:12:55.680 --> 00:13:01.680 >> Where's Sebastian? >> He went to go pick flowers. >> He's picking fl Okay, I need him to cut 00:12:59.760 --> 00:13:05.040 this. I don't know where the saw is. He's picking flowers. Yeah. No. No. It 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:09.680 makes sense. >> Here, 00:13:09.680 --> 00:13:13.680 Sebastian. I need another cable management hider. Can we just break it 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:18.160 in half? >> Uh, yeah. I'll show you. I'll show you. I'll show you. >> We've got some grass for touch grass. 00:13:16.800 --> 00:13:21.360 >> Okay, let's go. Let's go. Let's go. >> Minus. What do you need? >> This I could Sharpie for a very short 00:13:20.880 --> 00:13:27.279 distance. >> Okay. Yeah. And then I can sharpie the other side and we can put it on the other side of the thing. 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:31.680 >> Oh, we still have to wipe down the TV. >> Connection drops. Packet loss. Why does 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:35.839 the office's internet just suck so much? >> Okay, that's all holes minus roof. 00:13:33.680 --> 00:13:39.440 >> Cool. We got to find something for the roof. 00:13:37.839 --> 00:13:44.079 >> Pays off to be friends with logistics. They'll help you with things if you ask nicely. 00:13:42.079 --> 00:13:48.160 Hey Dan, you're up. >> Now I just need to basically adjust the 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.079 levels of them and then I'm done. >> Okay, two people stabilized, one person 00:13:49.839 --> 00:13:54.800 clean. >> Do we have another Sharpie? >> We're just cleaning the TV right now. Let's get this as clean as we can. 00:13:53.760 --> 00:13:58.160 You're going to have to kind of really scrub it just in the in the bottom corner. I don't know. 00:13:57.199 --> 00:14:02.880 >> 5 minutes. >> Do you have a good like reflection from the light to see? Okay, good. And then 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.360 as soon as we're done wiping the TV, Pancrats, I guess you get content on it. 00:14:04.959 --> 00:14:12.959 Y >> I will continue sharp Sharpieing. >> Okay, I think it's pretty good. 00:14:09.680 --> 00:14:15.360 >> Okay. There's like a mode right here. 00:14:12.959 --> 00:14:17.920 So, the bass sounds like but whatever. We've got like no time left. So, I give 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:25.000 up. >> Dan, I need um the room for the last part. >> We're done with audio. We're good. 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:25.000 >> Okay. 00:14:26.160 --> 00:14:32.399 >> Oh god, >> that's very scary. >> Careful. It's It definitely moved. 00:14:31.040 --> 00:14:35.360 >> It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. 00:14:34.079 --> 00:14:42.720 >> Guys, be careful. >> Yeah. >> Projector's moving. >> Yeah, I'm I'm coming down now. 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:50.000 Okay, final stage. It's together. Unfortunately, the the 00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:53.839 projector shifted, but the roof hole seems to be covered. The bananas on the 00:14:51.839 --> 00:14:56.480 wall. The room is together, which honestly Oh, hey, there's still light 00:14:55.519 --> 00:15:00.959 coming through that hole. >> Yeah, right there. I'm >> trying to make it so that the the games 00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:04.959 are at least in like full screen before they get here. >> Luke, does that work? 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:10.480 >> Yeah. >> Wait, guys, quick. Um, covers or naked? 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:13.839 Naked. Naked. >> Naked. Naked. Naked. >> 1 minute. 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:18.720 >> 1 minute. >> Oh, wait. One last question. Nat. >> Yes. Yes. Yes. 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:21.680 >> From an aesthetic balance perspective, do you want the PC there or the little 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:27.920 table thing there? >> PC there. >> PC there. You bet. >> 30 seconds. 00:15:25.920 --> 00:15:30.560 >> Uh, can you confirm now that it is here that we like it there? 00:15:28.959 --> 00:15:33.680 >> Yep. 30 seconds. I'm going to turn the light back on. 00:15:32.079 --> 00:15:36.639 >> I think it all came together. >> I turned the controller off intentionally so it doesn't drain the 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:47.120 battery. >> You know what? No, let's let's have it on. I think this is more welcoming. 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:48.720 >> 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:52.639 >> 2 1 >> Okay, I'm pretty happy. 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:59.040 >> I'm stoked. >> This is fire. 00:15:55.680 --> 00:15:59.600 >> Stop damaging the 00:15:59.040 --> 00:16:04.480 Jesus. >> With the rooms ready to go, it's time for the most important part of the week, 00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:08.800 the judging. Lionus, seeing as you got to pick your teammate second, would you 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:13.120 like to be judged first or second? >> What do you want? 00:16:09.920 --> 00:16:15.920 >> Uh, I want to be judged second. 00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:19.040 >> I want second. >> That's how it's going to be. 00:16:17.040 --> 00:16:23.040 >> You know what? Why don't we flip for it? >> Sure. >> I actually baited you to exactly what I 00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:25.920 wanted. So, I did not want a coin flip. I wanted you to go >> to go first or second. 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:31.120 >> Second. >> You want me to go? Oh, I want to go second. I have been baited. 00:16:28.959 --> 00:16:34.079 >> Luke is a master. >> Ah. 00:16:32.880 --> 00:16:41.000 manipulator. >> Yeah, that's right. 00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:41.000 >> Okay, let's get the judging underway. 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:04.160 Welcome to the humble abode. 00:17:09.919 --> 00:17:18.480 Having seen the rooms as they were before, very impressed. 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:21.039 >> It's supposed to be multimodal kind of. 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:25.199 This is not just a theater room. It's not just a gaming space. You want to be 00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:29.280 able to relax in here. There's drinks in the Coke fridge. There's snacks in 00:17:27.280 --> 00:17:33.679 varieties of places. You can do whatever you want. >> Is that from Momma? 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:38.960 >> Uh, yes. We also have various pieces of art around the room, including a lore 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:44.240 accurate banana taped to wall reversed orientation on purpose to make it 00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:46.000 legally distinct. 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:49.760 >> I do like the use of the acoustic paneling to like flank the sides of the 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:54.799 projector screen. I think it fills up the space pretty nicely. >> The warm light is nice, although a lamp 00:17:52.880 --> 00:18:00.000 shade maybe hiding that would have been a good touch. >> I was going to check if the if the 00:17:57.360 --> 00:18:02.160 surrounds are at the same height. >> They're not. That one's hiding. Yeah, 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:06.160 that one's higher >> and crooked. >> Uh, adjustable. We like we like to go 00:18:05.520 --> 00:18:12.640 with adjustable. >> Okay, good to know. >> Can I adjust it right now? >> No. >> Uh, prefer maybe not. Uh, 00:18:11.280 --> 00:18:17.120 >> this fridge beside me, >> yes, >> is incredibly loud. >> It can be turned off. Uh, there is a 00:18:15.679 --> 00:18:20.960 switch on the back. There's actually Coke in there if you would like a refreshing beverage. 00:18:19.840 --> 00:18:24.200 >> No vibes. >> You're allowed. 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:30.240 >> I like this room a lot. Quick. 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:33.760 >> Yeah, >> it's a good size projector screen for 00:18:32.320 --> 00:18:39.120 this room. It's not too big. >> Yeah, we didn't actually want it to feel 00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:42.160 like a movie room. We wanted to feel like a place you can hang out and you 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:45.600 can also watch movies. You can also play games. You can also use computer, do whatever you want. 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:49.200 >> It does not feel like that. It feels like a movie room. >> Okay. All right. 00:18:47.760 --> 00:18:53.760 >> 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 00:18:52.080 --> 00:18:58.960 furniture. I'm actually just impressed this couch is like not trash. 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:04.799 Like it's it's okay. Still on the decor side. Um it's obviously very clean 00:19:01.600 --> 00:19:06.720 space, Nordic even. But the cable 00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:11.360 management situation here is a lot different than from here out. 00:19:09.360 --> 00:19:15.840 >> Yeah, it makes me sad. >> We were able to get fully hidden cables 00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:19.280 for all of the speakers and mostly hidden cables for the projector. 00:19:17.840 --> 00:19:24.320 >> You guys actually ran the wire through the wall. >> Yeah. >> Kudos. That's that's a lot of work. We 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:28.240 also just This reminded me the projector also includes 3D active 3D glasses. 00:19:27.760 --> 00:19:33.200 >> Wow. >> So you can watch 3D movies if you're interested 00:19:31.840 --> 00:19:37.280 >> or not. >> Yeah. >> Did you get a three Did you get us 3D 00:19:35.360 --> 00:19:41.919 media to to test with? >> No, you look good. I got to say, you 00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:46.000 look good. >> You've got the the tech command seat and 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:49.039 then you've got the snack command seat and they can both It's like a driver and 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.240 passenger in a car. >> I got you. Yeah, that's >> And then the person in the middle is 00:19:51.520 --> 00:19:57.760 just the king. >> Just enjoying life. If you're really desperate, technically I think it's like 00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:03.600 every 6 days you're supposed to eat the banana and replace it. >> Honestly, it looks nice, but it is the 00:20:01.679 --> 00:20:07.120 vibe is rental property core >> or hotel room. I just got here. 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:12.240 >> Feels like an Airbnb. >> Yeah, >> but it is like really clean and like and 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:14.880 tasteful. Like look at this damn baze. It's a really clean and nice and modern 00:20:14.320 --> 00:20:20.960 space. >> Well, I think it's time that we move on to the movie watching experience. I will 00:20:18.320 --> 00:20:25.760 say right now, projector not even close to aligned. It's not keystoneed. It's 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:29.720 It's at an angle. Is there a subwoofer? >> Yes. Yeah. 00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:29.720 >> Down there. 00:20:29.919 --> 00:20:37.280 That sucks. 00:20:33.280 --> 00:20:39.440 >> Marceline songs are so good. 00:20:37.280 --> 00:20:42.320 >> Maybe I can get Marceline to write a song with me. 00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:46.080 >> I've seen enough. >> So, what resolution is this projector? 00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:48.880 >> 4K. Is this 4K content? 00:20:48.080 --> 00:20:53.880 >> Yes, >> but no HDR. >> Projector can do HDR. 00:20:57.679 --> 00:21:02.799 >> You decided there was no media software 00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:05.360 or controller for the computer. Some sort of software interface that if I 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:10.799 wanted to have a more couch-like TV-l like experience. >> Definitely considered it. 00:21:07.760 --> 00:21:13.280 >> Uh probably a very reasonable upgrade to 00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:15.360 go into over the next little while. >> I like this though. It brings back to my 00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:20.559 college days. >> Oh yeah, totally. >> Should we just have the lamp on instead? 00:21:19.360 --> 00:21:23.760 >> How accessible is the lamp? >> Oh my god, >> it's um >> Oh, it really changes it. 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:28.400 >> Yeah, it's pretty bad. >> Yeah, that does change things. >> I think you start game. 00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:32.240 >> Wouldn't have it on when you're gaming. >> No. So, we don't have any smart bulbs or 00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:34.880 dimming bulbs. >> Okay. 00:21:33.679 --> 00:21:38.159 >> And how are you doing the volume? Just on the knob of the AVR? >> Yeah. Do you have a remote for the 00:21:37.280 --> 00:21:41.440 volume? >> Uh volume can be done here. I did did it 00:21:40.320 --> 00:21:45.919 with a knob, but you can do it with a controller. >> The reds really blow out. Yeah, they're 00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:49.120 really overcooked. >> Which was interesting because the 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:52.000 yellows were really bad. >> What were we trying to change? 00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:54.640 >> It was >> cuz this is game streaming, right? 00:21:53.679 --> 00:21:58.640 >> No idea at all. >> Yeah, >> unless you have a very flawless and 00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.720 reliable internet connection. >> You end up with problems like this 00:21:59.840 --> 00:22:04.240 constantly. You're constantly troubleshooting. >> I just checked our network and 00:22:03.280 --> 00:22:08.880 everything's screwed. >> All right, give us the mouse. Let's do some lap. Do they have a lap board? What 00:22:07.679 --> 00:22:13.280 do we got here? Oh, table. >> Oh, just a table. It's not really designed for uh heavy keyboard and mouse 00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:18.960 use. Is >> the keyboard wireless? >> Nope. >> Oh, all right. >> We're having some office level technical 00:22:17.280 --> 00:22:22.720 difficulties that are making that our streaming service for games is not going 00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:27.039 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 00:22:25.360 --> 00:22:30.960 of what the performance should be like on a good day. And we're going to have 00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:34.559 that for our performance benchmark portion. Uh but this is obviously going 00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:38.720 to affect the subjective portion which the judges will elaborate on later. The 00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:43.600 frame rate's running smoothly on their side >> and it's just that it's dropping packets 00:22:41.520 --> 00:22:47.200 or whatever sending to us. >> You can see that like the minimum frame 00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:48.720 rate is still 51. So, it's not dropping on their end. 00:22:48.080 --> 00:22:57.200 >> Yeah. >> Chug, chug, chug, chug. >> 97 average on the GPU. It's such a weird 00:22:54.799 --> 00:23:04.240 thing. So, you're very CPU limited in this one. 71 was the average, max of 00:23:01.120 --> 00:23:05.679 124. That's better than a lock 60. All 00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:13.120 right, I think we've seen enough. Let's take a look at the next room. >> Welcome, Games Master David, esteemed 00:23:09.360 --> 00:23:16.080 judges to the vibe zone. 00:23:13.120 --> 00:23:21.080 >> Oh my god, this is >> Welcome to an 18-year-old's cool 00:23:18.080 --> 00:23:21.080 bedroom. 00:23:23.760 --> 00:23:27.679 >> Hey, look at all the door. >> It's a lot of dew. That's a lot of 00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:34.240 Mountain Dew. >> Painted sauna pan. >> The acoustic panels are making a huge 00:23:32.320 --> 00:23:36.799 change in here. How old was the person who painted the 00:23:35.760 --> 00:23:40.159 walls? >> Eight or 80? 00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:45.280 >> An adult. >> Is this spray paint? >> Oh, no. Don't touch that too much. 00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:48.480 >> What the Oh, this is so you could get your center speaker there, huh? 00:23:47.600 --> 00:23:53.280 >> These are >> These are the shelves from this unit 00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:55.600 >> turned on end to jack up the height of the TV. 00:23:54.159 --> 00:23:59.120 >> That is so sketch. >> That's sketch as hell. >> That's terrifying. 00:23:57.360 --> 00:24:03.520 >> I appreciate the multi-purposeness of the space. They actually included books, 00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:08.480 >> but no extra lighting, so you're >> It's >> Well, no, that light is adjustable. 00:24:05.520 --> 00:24:10.640 >> Is it RGB? It's RGB wireless like Wi-Fi light. Smart light. 00:24:09.120 --> 00:24:15.520 >> I can't control it right now. >> I like that little lamp shade on it. 00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:18.720 >> 3D shade is a nice chair. 00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:22.240 >> I was just >> I don't recommend the crack spot. 00:24:20.320 --> 00:24:24.240 >> Yeah, I sat right in the middle. >> Oh, it's a love seat. That's why the 00:24:23.840 --> 00:24:32.080 chair. >> No, what it is. If you could uh if you could move for a moment. Da da da da. 00:24:31.520 --> 00:24:38.000 >> This is IKEA. >> Yeah, that's what we want. >> Boom. >> The chair makes sense now. 00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:41.279 >> There is no shadow of a doubt that that is a cuck chair. 00:24:39.520 --> 00:24:46.480 >> One of the key elements was how inviting the space is. We felt that having two 00:24:43.760 --> 00:24:51.440 controllers is far more inviting than one controller or playing golf. Golf 00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:54.240 with your friends. >> Nice. 00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:57.840 >> Okay. >> Immediate hole in one set. 00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:01.760 >> Why is no sound? >> Yeah. Can we >> Oh, sorry. Uh oh. Well, hold on. Hold 00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:06.880 on. You wouldn't want to You wouldn't want to get up to change the volume. 00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:11.039 >> I really like the choice to do an accent wall. You had blue walls and then one 00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:15.279 that is a different color. Back lighting also think is I'm not going to say 00:25:13.679 --> 00:25:18.400 classy, but it's nice. >> It does have a distinctly kind of '90s 00:25:17.600 --> 00:25:23.360 vibe. >> It's got Cinniplex arcade energy. >> Yes. >> The Doritos match the wall. 00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:29.679 >> Oh, yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> Really cohesive. Really bringing it together. I do wish they had a ladder or 00:25:27.600 --> 00:25:34.080 something so they could keep it going higher to the ceiling. It seems like it 00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:38.080 just like arbitrarily stops, but maybe they just ran out of panels. We felt 00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:43.039 that the room was a little tall and almost aquarium feeling. So, it was a 00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:48.400 conscious decision not to put the sound panels up any higher than you normally 00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:50.159 would with about an 8ft ceiling. 00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:53.039 We found that acoustically the ceiling panels made an enormous difference even 00:25:51.919 --> 00:25:55.840 though there's not that many of them. >> Did you make the frames? No, this frame 00:25:55.279 --> 00:26:01.520 was free. >> That reeks a free. >> Yeah, >> it reeks as free. Almost as free as a 00:25:59.919 --> 00:26:05.760 Pearl Harbor poster. >> No, we paid for that. Hey, that has an 00:26:03.760 --> 00:26:08.880 actual film strip from the film. >> Wow. >> That's collectible. 00:26:07.919 --> 00:26:14.559 >> What are you sitting on? >> Oh, I'm just sitting on a little 00:26:12.080 --> 00:26:18.720 >> Oh, the IKEA basket. >> Convenient little basket table. 00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:21.919 >> I like the the pullable side table. >> It's a little high. 00:26:19.919 --> 00:26:26.000 >> Is it not compatible with this couch? works perfectly until you go to pull it 00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:31.120 out. So, we positioned it here. >> Let's try. 00:26:28.080 --> 00:26:32.559 >> So, the idea is that it can There you 00:26:31.120 --> 00:26:36.400 go. It goes in about that far. >> That was not worth the effort. >> Uh yeah, that's why we had it where we 00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:41.200 had it. >> For the most part, really clean job on 00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:43.760 cutting the audio, the uh was that like sonap or whatever? It feels like it's 00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:50.240 the stuff we used in the server room. The cuts are pretty clean. When you get the ones close here, it looks pretty 00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:52.400 dirty, but when you're far away, it just 00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:55.120 looks cheap. It was cheap. 00:26:53.600 --> 00:26:59.360 >> Yeah, especially the screws through the middle of them. >> I think that we're really focused on 00:26:57.679 --> 00:27:05.120 minor details like whether there's a screw hole and we're ignoring 00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:10.400 >> I think we can hold uh two things in our minds at once. >> You have a PC and a PlayStation. 00:27:07.679 --> 00:27:13.600 >> Uh we do. We have a working PC. It's not plugged in. Nope. 00:27:13.600 --> 00:27:18.960 >> The rules only stipulate that you must have a working PC, which we do. 00:27:17.120 --> 00:27:22.640 >> The uh the lighting strip behind the TV is just one color. Yes, it's bias 00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:26.240 lighting, so it's intended to improve contrast. It's not for vibe. 00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:30.799 >> I'm mostly impressed with the size of the speakers. Do you have any surrounds? 00:27:29.120 --> 00:27:34.640 >> We felt that in such a small room with the budgetary constraints that we were 00:27:32.320 --> 00:27:38.960 under, choosing acoustic treatment over surround speakers was a no-brainer. We 00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:42.080 could have surround speakers in here, but if we had reflections all over the 00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:45.200 place, you'd basically just be sitting in a mess of positional audio. 00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:48.200 >> Shall we watch something? >> Sure. 00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:55.039 I go to them. >> It's hard to judge this when we're watching such a low resolution version 00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:57.360 of it because of the internet right now. >> Uh yeah. Which movie did you want? 00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:02.640 Sorry. >> Uh Return of the King. >> Uh just just pointing out that as a 00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:07.440 bonus. Um we have all three. >> Wow. >> So is there no control for the light? 00:28:05.919 --> 00:28:11.840 >> There is. >> How do you control it? >> With an app. Oh, wait. Well, yeah, you 00:28:10.320 --> 00:28:14.880 can turn it off. >> Yeah. Want it off then by all means. 00:28:13.760 --> 00:28:20.640 >> Let's leave it off for now cuz we had on last one. >> You sure? Oh, okay. The film grain's 00:28:18.399 --> 00:28:24.559 aggressive. And I'm thinking that there's processing on the TV that's 00:28:22.159 --> 00:28:28.960 making it worse. HDR on. >> Uh, these are the non4K Blu-rays. How 00:28:27.520 --> 00:28:31.600 are you guys enjoying the size of the TV? >> I think it's an ideal size for the 00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:35.679 space. >> Good height, too, if you just ignore how 00:28:33.840 --> 00:28:38.679 it got to that height. >> Yeah. 00:28:42.399 --> 00:28:47.600 >> Let's go. The sub sounds so much like it 00:28:45.600 --> 00:28:50.240 is over there. At least from my sitting position. It might be better when you're 00:28:49.360 --> 00:28:53.360 closer to the corners. >> I didn't notice that. >> For me, I was just like, "Wow, that is 00:28:52.480 --> 00:29:00.320 where the sub is." >> I was surprised at how the directional audio came through still quite a lot 00:28:57.679 --> 00:29:05.120 even though there is no surround actual with the zipline scene specifically. 00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:08.000 >> I would almost hazard to say that these speakers might be a bit too much for the 00:29:06.399 --> 00:29:11.200 room. There's times where it feels almost like shouty. Like there were some 00:29:09.600 --> 00:29:15.440 very noticeable peaks for me. >> Mhm. That didn't feel great to hear. It 00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:20.559 was like uneven in a sense. >> All right, that's enough Christopher Nolan. Let's play some games. We have 00:29:18.320 --> 00:29:23.360 two controllers. Just thought I'd point that out. >> You've said that a bunch of time like 00:29:21.919 --> 00:29:26.480 you think they only have one. >> I don't know how many. I don't know what they have. There's three of us. 00:29:25.760 --> 00:29:30.880 >> I just know. >> Yeah, you you have less. You have less. We can't all play together. 00:29:29.520 --> 00:29:36.880 >> But look at the quality of these controllers. Dual sense. No stick drift. 00:29:35.840 --> 00:29:42.480 >> It feels really smooth. >> It's PlayStation. >> Yeah, this tough to beat. 00:29:39.600 --> 00:29:46.320 >> All right. Red Dead Redemption 2 gaming. >> This game came out on the PS4 and it's 00:29:43.840 --> 00:29:49.120 locked at 30 on the PS5. Rockstar ass move. I mean, it's this for the next 25 00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:53.799 minutes. >> Yeah. All right. Is there another game? 00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:58.559 >> It looks like a good experience. >> It's It was made for this console, so 00:29:58.080 --> 00:30:02.640 it's uh >> Yeah, it's like rock solid and >> Yeah, feels nice. 00:30:01.520 --> 00:30:08.480 >> All right, I've seen enough. >> Well, hold on there. Before we get to the results, I want to tell you about a 00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:13.679 Floatplane exclusive stream that's going to be happening on Tuesday. September 9th, where me and pretty much 00:30:11.840 --> 00:30:17.200 all the contestants are going to watch through the show, talk about our 00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:19.760 experiences, and sort of let you in on some of the behind-the-scenes secrets 00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:25.039 that happened. And that's going to be happening over on LMG.gg/flatplane. 00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:28.559 So, you don't want to miss that. Now, back to the video. We are now going to 00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:31.760 go through our results category by category. >> Starting with Vibe Max, which is 00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:35.159 something that sounds like it needs a prescription for 00:30:35.919 --> 00:30:42.159 the Vibes. really accessible and I would say well decorated space. I like 00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:46.480 everything that's in there. I think most people would think it was pretty nice. 00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:50.559 In three words, rental property core. The stylistic design is both bland but 00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:54.320 clean enough that you could bring anybody there, including your mom. 00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:59.120 >> It's a wellthoughtout space. It really is. There's a fridge, there's snacks, 00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:02.480 all very well accessible. It is a little bit bland. 00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:06.799 >> I'm giving Vibeax a 6 out of 10 for vibes. I'm giving Vibe Max a seven out 00:31:05.520 --> 00:31:09.679 of 10 for vibes. >> I'm giving Vibeax an eight out of 10 for 00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:13.399 vibe. >> On to movie experience. 00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:21.440 >> Projector, not a line. Projector has scan lines, so Adventure Time colors were weird. Uh contrast not ex not 00:31:19.840 --> 00:31:25.520 exciting, but uh you know, it's okay, I guess. >> The projector and the surround setup at 00:31:23.600 --> 00:31:30.000 first seemed like great ideas, but ultimately turned out to be the downfall 00:31:27.520 --> 00:31:34.159 of this setup. The projector colors were super overcooked in the reds. People's 00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:37.679 skins looked overly yellow and the hobbits looked like they were just dead 00:31:35.840 --> 00:31:40.559 and they don't die. Spoilers. And then for the surround sound, it sounded like 00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:45.440 all the audio that ought to be out of the front towers was coming out of this one surround speaker beside me. And I 00:31:43.360 --> 00:31:50.799 had no sense of stereo panning. I just only got surround. 00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:53.200 >> Overall, good screen size and it worked. 00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:56.240 You clicked the movie, it played. Sound worked, volume worked, 00:31:54.399 --> 00:31:59.840 >> and high quality files from a totally legal source. 00:31:58.240 --> 00:32:04.880 Sir, I think you mean click the Linux ISO. >> Five, a six out of 10. 00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:09.840 >> Seven out of 10. >> A theme is emerging. 00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:14.880 >> It's going down. >> The gaming experience 00:32:15.120 --> 00:32:21.679 due to technical difficulties. This was very hard for us to judge. However, it 00:32:19.919 --> 00:32:26.240 was a technical difficulty that is well known with the strategy that was chosen. 00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:30.799 Game streaming is only as good as your internet connection. And today's 00:32:27.919 --> 00:32:34.559 internet connection was very bad. I felt the setup was incomplete. You went for 00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:39.600 like a couch gaming setup with the PC, which I've had in the past, but you need 00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:41.360 to have at minimum a wireless keyboard. 00:32:39.600 --> 00:32:45.440 Your keyboard, it kind of made it to the couch area, but by and large, it was 00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:49.600 designed to be used over in the corner. I'm not going to use that controller to 00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:53.679 play an RTS. having a rented computer, a cloud streaming service, you would 00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:58.960 expect to play normal PC games rather than just console games. Obviously, when 00:32:56.159 --> 00:33:03.440 we did do the benchmarks, we'd had good frames overall, but it was ultimately 00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:09.120 unplayable. For gaming, I'm giving Luke's team a six. Even though it didn't 00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:13.919 work so well, you got to give points for the flexibility of the system. It is PC 00:33:11.840 --> 00:33:18.080 gaming. It doesn't always just work, but you get more flexibility and freedom. 00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:21.760 So, I like the spirit of the idea. >> You encapsulated my thoughts perfectly, 00:33:19.679 --> 00:33:25.760 and I also gave them a six out of 10. >> You both said exactly what I was gonna 00:33:23.840 --> 00:33:30.880 say. It's also a six out of 10. >> Okay. >> Okay. Okay. 00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:35.600 >> That could have been worse. Yeah. All right. 00:33:33.760 --> 00:33:40.200 >> I mean, yay. Thank you. I appreciate your feedback. >> One extra point for Dan. 00:33:42.320 --> 00:33:47.360 >> Starting with the vibes of the vibe zone. This is where it gets really tough 00:33:45.360 --> 00:33:52.399 because while Luke's team went with a really kind of bland, soulless, but 00:33:50.320 --> 00:33:56.480 accessible to everyone, whereas Lance's team took a stance, you might not like 00:33:54.640 --> 00:34:00.559 it, but some people might really like it. And it just so happens if you've 00:33:58.159 --> 00:34:04.399 been to a party at my house, you know I like the lights low. 00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:10.159 They also play to the judge's strengths cuz I also like acoustic treatment. So, 00:34:07.120 --> 00:34:12.639 I didn't mind the like Doritoshaped 00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:15.440 things all over the wall. kind of dorky vibe, but you committed to the bit. But 00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:20.800 you did choose one of the most uncomfortable couches I've ever uh been on. And even though you can sleep on it, 00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:26.879 I would feel like that was a punishment. TV was precariously set upon pieces of 00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:30.800 MDF. And I would rather spend time in a space that can be bright lights that 00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:35.839 that doesn't feel like an 8-year-old's dream room. >> Walking into Lionus' room, you knew 00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:40.079 exactly what it was going to be for. Um, you could tell this is a gamer space. 00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:45.119 There were books available, but also no way to turn on the light more than it 00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:50.159 was. So, reading is a punishment. The last thing I'll say is there were quite 00:34:47.839 --> 00:34:53.440 fewer snacks in Lionus' room than theirs. 00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:56.960 >> And their drinks were cold. >> There definitely was points changed 00:34:55.839 --> 00:35:02.240 based on that fact. >> Oh, let's go, dude. >> I'm giving them a seven. 00:35:00.160 --> 00:35:07.200 >> I respect the commitment to the bit. Not my vibe. Five out of 10. 00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:11.440 >> I gave him an eight out of 10. On to the movie experience. 00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:17.520 Just as in Luke's room with the gaming experience, Wi-Fi reared its ugly head. 00:35:15.200 --> 00:35:21.520 We saw the lowest res copy of Adventure Time on in existence. And 00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:25.440 >> oh, that wasn't Wi-Fi. We were on the wire. >> So, we would have had the same issue. 00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:31.520 >> More. >> But you also had a computer that you just chose not to use. You could have 00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:36.160 maybe taken that computer and put a Plex server on it. Had some other home 00:35:33.200 --> 00:35:39.920 theater PC. Instead, you uh decided to look at the uh the letter of the law 00:35:38.240 --> 00:35:44.000 instead of the spirit of the law, and you brought a working computer and 00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:46.960 ignored it. At least Luke had to use his computer to stream his games. 00:35:45.359 --> 00:35:50.560 >> I'm just saying that copy of Adventure Time is not low res. 00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:55.839 >> Oh, it's HD, but it looks pretty bad. >> Yeah, our games run fine, too. 00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:57.359 >> Yeah, sure, bud. 00:35:55.839 --> 00:36:02.240 >> Movie experience was way better in Lionus's room. It was the right choice 00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:06.079 to just do 3.1. Lionus was bang on when he said that the surround just had too 00:36:04.240 --> 00:36:09.200 many extra waveforms fighting each other. Would have liked to have seen 00:36:07.359 --> 00:36:13.359 some treatment behind the speakers themselves, not just above it on the 00:36:11.040 --> 00:36:18.240 sidewalls. But hey, for the display, the color accuracy was actually, you know, 00:36:15.839 --> 00:36:21.599 acceptable. And this TV was a lot brighter than your typical projector. So 00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:25.680 that made a difference, too, even though we weren't watching in HDR. 00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:29.359 >> Yeah, I have to say the TV was the first thing that I noticed with the movie 00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:34.480 experience. Yes, it wasn't the best TV in the world, but to normie eyes like 00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:38.640 mine, it was fairly fine. It made the movies look fine except Adventure Time. 00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:44.640 The only thing to note with the movies was uh no 4K. They went for the uh 00:36:42.640 --> 00:36:47.839 Blu-ray option, which was a good option, but on the PS5 there was no HDR. Points 00:36:47.200 --> 00:36:52.320 off. >> I'm giving them a six, but my home 00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:57.119 theater at home is really good. >> I'm giving them a seven. 00:36:54.320 --> 00:37:03.440 >> And I am also giving them a seven. The final category is gaming. 00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:08.640 PlayStation's just so much easier to use. Oh my god. However limited the 00:37:06.640 --> 00:37:12.800 PlayStation may be, it was a very smooth experience and it felt great to play on 00:37:10.720 --> 00:37:17.520 that TV with its game mode on. >> It would have been nice to have a keyboard and mouse cuz you know consoles 00:37:15.200 --> 00:37:19.920 these days are kind of computers. >> To further that point, 00:37:18.720 --> 00:37:23.760 >> please. >> You had a computer. 00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:28.720 You could have played games that aren't on PlayStation on that computer. retro 00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:32.480 games, other easy to run games, but you neglected to implement that. So Luke's 00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:34.720 system does have substantially more flexibility in the kinds of games that 00:37:34.160 --> 00:37:40.480 you can play. >> Yeah, I will say not having the PC available did really did hurt here. 00:37:39.200 --> 00:37:44.320 There wasn't even a mouse and keyboard in that room. I don't think I didn't see 00:37:42.240 --> 00:37:47.440 one. And with locked frame rates at 60 and 30 for Red Dead, that was pretty 00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:53.359 painful. >> I do want to ask cuz I didn't get a confirmation. How many controllers did 00:37:51.680 --> 00:37:56.000 we have in Lionus' room? >> More than one. >> Two. 00:37:54.720 --> 00:37:59.839 >> Two. How many controls do we have in Luke's room? >> Three. >> Three. >> Three. 00:37:58.720 --> 00:38:03.280 >> How many judges do we have? >> All of the judges could play a game at the same time. 00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:08.400 >> We didn't. >> Details. >> Overall though, I'm calling this a wash. 00:38:06.160 --> 00:38:12.320 A six again for Lian's team. >> I was pretty won over by the 00:38:09.839 --> 00:38:18.720 PlayStation. However, I was disappointed by the lack of a PC, which is why I gave 00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:21.040 it a 9 out of 10. Except I told Lionus 00:38:18.720 --> 00:38:26.880 at the start that for not picking me, he loses a point. He made no effort to make 00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:31.440 that better. So, he gets an eight out of 10. 00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:35.520 >> And yes, it was a tough call. Both rooms are basically exactly the opposite, 00:38:33.440 --> 00:38:42.160 which makes them exactly the same in the same way. Um, but overall, Lionus's 00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:45.440 gaming experience was an 8 out of 10. 00:38:42.160 --> 00:38:48.400 Oh, the score is tabulated and out of a 00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:54.079 possible 90 points, there is only a difference of five, 00:38:51.520 --> 00:38:58.160 which means that the winner of Scrapyard Wars 2025 00:38:56.160 --> 00:39:01.160 is team. 00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:10.240 >> Oh, these are cool. >> Those are cool. >> These are like the best trophies yet. 00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:15.599 >> Oh, yeah. Rub it in. Sure. Hey, you got you got trophies, too. 00:39:11.599 --> 00:39:16.400 >> That is so sick. Great job, you guys. 00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:21.040 >> Great work. It was >> I hope it's an No, it's not. >> I'm really surprised. 00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:25.119 >> I'm surprised we judged as well as we did. I kind of wonder if they were like 00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:30.000 being nice. Directing us towards Projector, which I've never worked with 00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:35.839 a projector ever before, was a mistake. I genuinely spent at least half of my 00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:37.920 time trying to diagnose shadow issues. >> We did not win the way I was expecting 00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:45.440 to. >> No, no, not at We won on gaming. What were the odds? 00:39:41.920 --> 00:39:48.720 >> The PS5 gave Adam a lot of points there. 00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:50.480 >> Even with the one point deduction, 00:39:48.720 --> 00:39:54.720 >> since season 1, there's been this concept of like if we somehow merged our 00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:57.839 things, it would be so much better. And like if you guys had our couch, 00:39:56.079 --> 00:40:01.680 >> our couch is more ass than the asses that sit on. I think we also got the 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.839 only secondhand copy of Cyberpunk in the entire Lower Mainland. 00:40:03.680 --> 00:40:09.040 I wanted to get an Xbox Series X, but Returnal is still exclusive to 00:40:07.520 --> 00:40:11.520 PlayStation and PC. >> PlayStation. Yeah, >> that would have given me cheaper 00:40:10.720 --> 00:40:16.480 controllers, too. >> Ours were pretty banged up. We had to 3D print battery holders and thumb sticks. 00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:20.880 That actually worked out. The 3D printing for the controllers was quite good. >> Almost as good as the Segway. 00:40:19.680 --> 00:40:25.200 >> To our sponsor, >> Squarespace.
