for the ultimate no compromises compact gaming PC look no further than the
0:11
obsidian series 250d from Corsair click now to learn
0:28
more you are never going to guess what time it is what time is it
0:33
oh it's time to play find the sausage
0:37
all right I mean hide the sausage I actually have sausage juice on my face
0:41
okay and that's unusual
0:44
because okay so uh here's your sausage thank you sir all
0:50
right so let's do this rule number one each
0:56
sausage Hider gets an accomplice in the form of a camera operator rule number
1:00
two sausages must have their Bluetooth
1:04
trackers attached at all times to avoid unfortunate situations like what
1:07
happened at one time rule number three sausages must be hidden where either
1:12
participant can safely retrieve them rule number four inside or outside the
1:17
house it's all fair game rule number five sausages must take no longer than 5
1:22
minutes to hide and rule number six no
1:26
touching the sausages of other participants until such time as you are
1:29
permitted to touch their sausages okay so I guess we'll start
1:32
with uh binding the uh Bluetooths to the
1:36
sausages so I can do this so to be clear
1:39
I find your sausage and you find my sausage right yeah okay right sausage
1:45
one you touched something that was in my
1:48
mouth your sausage well no my Bluetooth
1:53
dongle I've always loved the word dongle
1:56
wait I actually don't understand which sausage is which so you are looking for
2:00
sausage number two so I have to hide
2:03
sausage number two okay all right so uh
2:07
you know the rules yep five minutes man all right I'm going to make a bunch of
2:12
noise in here and I'm going to move stuff
2:18
around I don't even know what I'm doing okay that's good enough that's not
2:22
convincing I'm going to go actually hide it now between you and me I have a
2:28
pretty dastardly plan for myself sausage I I'll reveal my my secret later I I
2:32
don't he says he has a plan but I think my plan is much more evil I'm going to
2:37
put it under the couch sausage has been planted I'm going to use my extra time
2:42
to wash my hands and try to disrupt more
2:46
things so he thinks it's somewhere
2:50
else I'm going to build a case Tower in
2:53
the meantime I can show you guys kind of how this works where's my sticker oh
2:58
right I guess I could I could see how far away he's going
3:03
couldn't I great your sticker has been
3:09
found oh he's moving around I can hear him moving around in there he's probably
3:12
trying to throw me
3:15
off this one's empty this one's also empty I borrowed
3:21
both of these sausages from Luke I didn't really expect him
3:24
to um cook them my plan is I'm going to
3:29
hide sausage in my pants watch the delay
3:32
so if I move it see that delay oh yeah
3:35
so the fact that there's a delay means
3:39
that if he's moving around quite quickly and knowing him he will right like he'll
3:43
be running around like a chicken with his head cut off the fact that I'm
3:47
moving around with him but that there's a delay will mean that it'll be really
3:52
difficult for him to pinpoint which of his movements are causing him to be
3:57
closer or further from it so hope he looks there oh this plan isn't going to
4:01
work I have to shift it to that side of the
4:06
house the rule state that it must be
4:10
hidden within the top floor mid floor or
4:13
backyard I will be in those places and when I come back I will carefully not
4:18
move on to the front porch that way it never crosses the threshold and I never
4:22
break the rules
4:34
hi done all right well it's my turn now
4:38
yep see you in 5 minutes or less all right
4:42
man I don't trust them he locked it even
4:46
okay so let's start by like making some
4:54
noise oh
4:58
God I'm not not sure if he's trying to make a distraction or if he's trying to
5:02
mock me can start by cleaning up this sausage here I'm really not sure about
5:08
my hiding spot it relies a lot on him
5:11
checking that Tower but then he'll be able to see that
5:15
Tower right now what can we do about the signal
5:21
strength though ah man I'm really not
5:24
sure about my idea now cuz he gets to see it he got to see my tower you know
5:28
what we might just have we might just have to roll with it okay ready all
5:33
right this is the moment of truth so so so this is where you're hiding it
5:38
yeah there you go you can hardly
5:42
tell ready all right you ready yep okay let's
5:48
go so I got this one I think so yeah on
5:51
smart guy okay okay
5:57
so let's start with this let's start up upstairs I think here we go I have a
6:08
feeling okay great your sticker has been found all right okay whoa you think he's
6:14
doing the same there I don't know it has no signal
6:20
strength percentage at all 94% mine's
6:24
like broken so can I interfere with you broken I'm allowed to is it working
6:28
again oh it's working work again okay oh
6:32
how what do you mean interfere for the last 2 or 3 minutes mine said no
6:36
signal
6:40
oh well I'm sorry to hear that your Android phone down there isn't very good
6:45
oh I'd say it's the
6:49
app what the heck is he walking around
6:52
with it they're so confused I know their minds are completely blown is he walking
6:57
around with it which tells me they probably didn't do the same thing right
7:04
it seems to be move like if I stand right here she usually indicates it's a
7:08
floor up okay I'm going back
7:12
up hold
7:15
on colder let's move
7:19
downstairs I think it's behind the toilet nope nope nope nope I have no
7:25
idea yeah it's trying to wake up the sticker last time I was in in here it
7:29
says 70% now it doesn't say
7:35
anything this way we can give them a false positive because vertically the
7:39
the detection is actually very good so they're going to think they're really close but you can see we're at 96% here
7:46
wait a minute which means oh you have got to be kidding me
7:52
does it smell like sausage in here I don't think so I they barricaded it it
7:57
goes down as I do anything
8:00
I think this is just a clever decoy and it's surprisingly clever given the
8:04
mental capacity of those two maybe he hid it in my
8:17
boxes okay I have no
8:21
clue it's not in my computer is
8:27
it oh good it's in the building I have to pay thank you for that you found it I
8:33
did now the question is should we tell
8:37
them we found it or should we let them keep
8:41
looking maybe we'll we'll hold steady in one place yeah do okay
8:46
okay um how am I going to smuggle this out of
8:50
here right do it I have an
8:54
idea in the fridge hello
9:02
okay signal strength thing here we go
9:10
40% pyramid are you carrying it is it on
9:14
you I don't know it's on you isn't it it's on you come here where is it is
9:21
Taran carrying it who has it what if you has it come back here oh my God
9:30
yes you should probably check that
9:33
sausage what is it mine did you find
9:37
mine and swap it
9:44
I so unfair oh God oh
9:49
God oh God you can still have it if you
9:52
want no no no I'll pass your decoy was
9:56
very clever very clever indeed but
10:00
uh I was so confused on the Android app
10:03
there's a delay but the iOS app is very responsive so I figured as long as we
10:08
moved past you very quickly you would move past us and go closer closer closer
10:15
oh it's further now but by then we be gone so that was why every no straight
10:18
up though it was it was just saying that the sticker was off I came and hit over
10:23
here that's pretty
10:26
good anyway I think we're done here oh God
10:30
this was a departure from our normal style because we thought a simple
10:34
unboxing of a product like this wouldn't be much fun let us know if you liked or
10:38
disliked it by clicking those thumbs below the player the stick and find the
10:42
product that we were using for this is available in a variety of battery life
10:45
and range configurations which you can find by checking out the pricing and availability Link in the video
10:49
description the one that we're using is a two pack that uses standard CR 2016
10:54
batteries uh one for each of the units it actually comes with two of them in
10:58
the little tag and advertises a 150 ft range with a
11:02
battery life of 1 year the app we were
11:05
using in the video can be used like radar the way we were using it to find
11:09
missing things like keys or pets or it can also be used to trigger an alarm if
11:13
something goes too far from you which is great for traveling or family outings
11:17
just stick it to your luggage kids or anything else and if they stray beyond
11:20
the limits you set the alarm will go off what a smart little device speaking of
11:24
