1
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Come on!

2
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Ha ha, gotcha.

3
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Oh, a machine gun, nice.

4
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Ah!

5
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000
I can't believe I can carry all this stuff.

6
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Gotcha!

7
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Whoo! Ha ha!

8
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
What?

9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Game over.

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
No!

11
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Welcome to the Mythbusters video game special.

12
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Nice one, huh?

13
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
I'm gonna go get a gun.

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
I'm gonna get a gun.

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
I'm gonna get a gun.

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
I'm gonna get a gun.

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
I'm gonna get a gun.

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
I'm gonna get a gun.

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
I'm gonna get a gun.

20
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
I'm gonna get a gun.

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
D.O. Game special.

22
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Nice one, Heinemann.

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Let's do it.

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Ssshhhhh.

25
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:44,120
So we're doing a whole episode on video games.

26
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,620
Yes we are.

27
00:01:45,620 --> 00:01:49,920
Well, given that there are thousands of them out there, isn't that a pretty broad topic

28
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:50,920
for us?

29
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:51,920
Well, you're absolutely right.

30
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,680
The video game industry is not only massive, it is incredibly diverse.

31
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,600
However, we've boiled it down to a couple of games that I think are pretty representative

32
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,120
and also pretty cool.

33
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,120
Go on.

34
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,480
Well later we'll be tackling Fruit Ninja to see if you can slice through real fruit as

35
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,520
easily as you can slice through digital fruit.

36
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,640
But first up is a myth from a little game called Doom.

37
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:17,280
That's one of those games where you're shooting monsters, right?

38
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,960
Yes, it is referred to as a first person shooter and Doom effectively invented the genre.

39
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,560
You are moving through a world shooting stuff and as you come across things that you need,

40
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:27,560
you can pick it up.

41
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,840
Ammo, medical packs, guns, supplies, whatever you need.

42
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,560
The thing is, is that no matter how much you pick up in a first person shooter, it doesn't

43
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,600
ever seem to slow you down as you move through that world.

44
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,200
And I'm thinking that's something we should test.

45
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:49,280
Well, if we're going to test it, we're going to have to make a real world version of a

46
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,640
Doom level, right?

47
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:51,640
Exactly.

48
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:53,520
Doesn't that sound cool?

49
00:02:53,520 --> 00:03:00,560
First person shooters include some of the most popular titles in video game history.

50
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:06,840
But is it really possible to pack so much heat and still function effectively?

51
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,240
Or is this a myth that's doomed?

52
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:27,240
We want to create a Doom video game level in meat space.

53
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,240
That is the real world.

54
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,760
And in Doom, you're always running around in effectively a military industrial complex.

55
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,000
So we've come to get this, a military industrial complex.

56
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,080
From the outside, the building's got potential.

57
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,200
But on the inside, it's out of this world.

58
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,320
This is going to be perfect.

59
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,840
This place is amazing.

60
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:56,840
Nice.

61
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:05,560
The building that we found is absolutely perfect in every way for conducting this experiment.

62
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,120
You think we need a Geiger counter in here?

63
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,560
It's a military facility, which means there's reinforced concrete.

64
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,640
There's a doctor that will be right with you.

65
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,440
Oh my gosh.

66
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,440
It's abandoned, which means the paint is peeling everywhere and there's signs and evidence

67
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,680
of human habitation, but clearly long since departed.

68
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:34,400
It's a perfect blank canvas for us to build this real world Doom level.

69
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,240
When you play a first person shooter game, you're supposed to pick up weapons, ammo,

70
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,120
medkits and carry it with you.

71
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:47,080
Now the myth is that having all that stuff on you does not in any way negatively affect

72
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,880
your ability to succeed.

73
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:50,880
But would it?

74
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,120
Well, that's what we're testing.

75
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:02,680
And to make sure that testing is accurate, it's vital that their real world course matches

76
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,000
the virtual world.

77
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,800
Within terms of the spatial dimensions, this is going to be the sliding door where we start

78
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,800
from.

79
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,240
And the number and placement of monsters and munitions.

80
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,120
Dude, I think this is perfect.

81
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,000
Oh yeah.

82
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,780
And to ensure that, Adams turned to the top.

83
00:05:24,780 --> 00:05:28,800
Our real world Doom level is shaping up quite nicely, but we wanted to get a better idea

84
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,800
of how it measured up to the real thing or the fake thing, the video game Doom.

85
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,800
Right.

86
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,960
So we're bringing in Tim Willis, a 20 year veteran at id Software.

87
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,480
He's developed thousands and thousands of levels.

88
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,240
He's going to take a look at ours and tell us how we're doing.

89
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,560
I think this space is really cool.

90
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,960
I mean, it has all the elements of a Doom map.

91
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,280
It's got scary textures, right angles.

92
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:54,120
It's got this great TG lighting.

93
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,040
You know, I could show you this space in a Doom level.

94
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,120
Totally virtual for the, that's awesome.

95
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,120
Yes, let's do it.

96
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,120
Okay.

97
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,720
All right, Tim, this is the map.

98
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,680
This is what we're watching ourselves walk around in.

99
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,440
Yes, this is our Doom editor.

100
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,680
This is the top down view, which is much like a CAD program.

101
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:13,680
Okay.

102
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,440
This is our render view, which is a preview.

103
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,080
And then here is where we pick our textures or our wallpaper.

104
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:24,200
And I can have a 3D space that is rendered in real time.

105
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,200
This is our space?

106
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,200
Yes.

107
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,200
We're here.

108
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,200
This is the elevator.

109
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,200
Oh, this is the elevator we're standing right in front of.

110
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,200
Yes.

111
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,200
Dude.

112
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,200
That's like windows on either side and everything.

113
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,200
This is so cool.

114
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,200
See, this is the hallway that we walk through.

115
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,200
Here's the red lights.

116
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,200
Dude.

117
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,200
This is where you and I had the conversation.

118
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,200
Yes.

119
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,200
Wow.

120
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,200
Thanks to his expertise in the virtual world.

121
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,200
I can also show you the demons that you may want to use.

122
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,200
This guy's on fire.

123
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,200
Tim helps certify their course as correct.

124
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:03,200
It's got the right look, the right size, and crucially, the right amount of monsters,

125
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,200
medikits, and munitions.

126
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,200
This is the arsenal we will have at our disposal.

127
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,200
Everything from handguns, shotguns to machine guns.

128
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,200
All of them shooting darts and paintballs.

129
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,200
All of them weighted correctly to their real world counterparts.

130
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,200
Now, the first time we run this level, every time we pick up a weapon, we're going to be

131
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,200
putting one down.

132
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,200
But the second time, we get a hold on to all of it.

133
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:32,200
That means by the time we finish the second level, we'll have everything on these tables

134
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,200
strapped to our bodies.

135
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,200
In theory, if we make it, I seriously don't know.

136
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:43,200
Now all that needs to happen, dude, that looks so awesome.

137
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,200
I would put this on my house if I could.

138
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:50,200
Are the finishing touches to the arena at its game on?

139
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,200
Ah!

140
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,200
Before we cash in Carrie, what else is going on?

141
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,200
Fruit Ninja!

142
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,200
Wa-pa-pa!

143
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,200
Even I've heard of that one.

144
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,200
What about it?

145
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,200
Well, this one falls into the category of, is it possible in real life?

146
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,200
Go on.

147
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:14,200
Well, is it possible to slice fruit as easily as the game would suggest?

148
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,200
Tons of people tried out online with some mixed results.

149
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,200
You all right?

150
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,200
Bro, you are straight.

151
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,200
Bleed him.

152
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,200
I think we should give it a go.

153
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,200
Fruit salad here would come.

154
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,200
Shaiyaza!

155
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,200
Shing, shing.

156
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,200
Let's play.

157
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,200
What the...

158
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,200
What the...

159
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,200
This is Fruit Ninja, one of my all-time favorite games.

160
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,200
Yes.

161
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,200
And the goal of the game is simple.

162
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,200
Using a samurai sword, you slash fruit that is arching into view in front of you.

163
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,200
Five fruit combo.

164
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:24,200
You can play on your phone or your tablet or a motion sensing console like this.

165
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,200
Oh, Mr. Coconut.

166
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,200
But I add a wrinkle to make it more entertaining.

167
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,200
I use a real wooden practice sword called a Boken.

168
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,200
This is from my personal collection.

169
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:43,200
Oh, man, if I ever meet some fruit in an alley, it's as is mine.

170
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:49,200
But it's slicing fruit with a lethal sharp sword as easy in real life as it is in this game.

171
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,200
But how to test just that?

172
00:09:54,200 --> 00:10:01,200
Well, Adam begins by establishing a virtual world benchmark over three 60-second time trials.

173
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,200
I have a signal to seize this and put me in a samurai movie.

174
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,200
And Jamie, standing well clear, gets his geek on.

175
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,200
While Adam is slashing the air around him like a crazed maniac,

176
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:23,200
I'm more interested in the motion detection technology because it's pretty cool.

177
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:28,200
Inside the console, there's a combination of cameras, infrared projectors, and depth sensors

178
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,200
that work together to turn your physical movements into digital consequences.

179
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:38,200
They basically map your moving body and the space around you at a rate of 30 times per second.

180
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:44,200
The integrated software then turns that constantly evolving information into a virtual avatar,

181
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,200
which in this case has deadly consequences for fruit.

182
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,200
See what I mean?

183
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:56,200
Adam is a veritable whirling dervish of digital destruction.

184
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,200
And when done with the combination bonus points subtracted,

185
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,200
his average number of fruit hits is almost exactly 100 per minute.

186
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:12,200
But when Adam phases off against the real thing, will that score cut it?

187
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:32,200
This is so awesome. Right outside these doors, Jamie and I have constructed a real-world simulacrum

188
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,200
of a level of the video game Doom.

189
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,200
With weapons, ammo, health, and monsters.

190
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,200
Jamie and I will have to move through that labyrinth,

191
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,200
killing all the monsters, getting to the end, and timing ourselves

192
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:56,200
for time is going to be one of the critical metrics by which we compare reality to video game reality.

193
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,200
They're testing the myth that your avatar can carry an array of artillery.

194
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,200
Alright monsters, you guys feeling ready?

195
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:11,200
And continue to take out opponents with the same lethal efficiency and speed.

196
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:16,200
When I say go, I want you to retreat to your position, and then when you see Jamie, try and kill him.

197
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,200
You might notice that some of our zombies are armed with wrenches, not guns.

198
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,200
These are special wrenches which I actually built back in the shop.

199
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:33,200
They're basically a polyurethane foam poured into a silicone mold with a piece of aluminum to keep it stiff.

200
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,200
How many people think of mold making as such an active sport?

201
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,200
Coming out to play in a ranch.

202
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,200
Painted in doomed colors, but you end up with something that looks like a wrench.

203
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,200
Oh, I love pulling masking off.

204
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,200
It's like Christmas, but it's totally safe when you hit someone in the head with it.

205
00:12:54,200 --> 00:13:04,200
Whenever you see someone swing in a wrench in a movie, it's probably one of these so that when they hit someone in the face, they don't actually hurt them. Isn't that cool?

206
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,200
Will any of our monsters get to use their wrenches on Jamie? That's the next question.

207
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:14,200
Well, it's time to find out because right now it's Jamie's control.

208
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:21,200
For this first test, every time I see a new weapon, I put the one I'm carrying down, pick up that weapon and proceed.

209
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,200
Now, I have no idea where my enemies are. That says it's going to be tricky.

210
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,200
Ow!

211
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,200
Jamie, are you ready?

212
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,200
I'm good to go.

213
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,200
Okay.

214
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,200
Commence the test.

215
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,200
In three, two, one, go.

216
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:51,200
Okay, so with Jamie in our doomed area, it's worth me clarifying a couple of things for science.

217
00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:05,200
First, the weapons we're using are props which fire darts and not bullets, but crucially, we've strapped lead weights to them so their mass exactly matches that of the real thing.

218
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:21,200
Second, this is our control test. Every time Jamie picks up a new weapon, he'll put down the one that he had already been using.

219
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,200
It's two down. I think I'm home free.

220
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,200
We'll do the keep and carry everything test once our controls are done.

221
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:41,200
Finally, the data. When we come to call this myth, our crucial metric is going to be time.

222
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:49,200
How long does it take us to complete the doomed course when we're carrying every weapon versus carrying one weapon at a time?

223
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:59,200
And talking of time, what quickly becomes apparent is that this is not just a sprint.

224
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,200
Nice.

225
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:05,200
That was a blot of five killed right in front of us.

226
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:11,200
With the monsters hidden randomly, Jamie can't simply run from station to station.

227
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,200
To stay alive, he has to take a more considered and tactical approach,

228
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:32,200
meaning the extra gear in test two may not slow him down as much as expected.

229
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:40,200
Hey!

230
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,200
How was that?

231
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,200
That was fun. I'm shooting guys around cars.

232
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,200
I'm like Rambo.

233
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,200
How long do you think it took? Don't look.

234
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,200
Oh, I have no idea. What? Five minutes?

235
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,200
Actually, you're pretty close. Just under six minutes.

236
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:03,200
Yeah, that's great. It's actually pretty exhilarating. I'd pay good money to go do that.

237
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:13,200
Now, it is my turn to go through this level, but of course, I'm just not going to do it in street clothes. I'm going to do it in costume.

238
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,200
Let's kill some monsters.

239
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,200
It was actually loaded.

240
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,200
Like the Heinemann...

241
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,200
Monsters, are you ready?

242
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,200
Adam starts with his one weapon at a time control.

243
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:37,200
Three, two, one. Adam, you're off.

244
00:16:51,200 --> 00:17:01,200
You know, you spend a lot of time talking through stories like this, setting them up and making sure the science is spot on.

245
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,200
And then you're in the middle of it. You're like, there are dudes walking towards me.

246
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,200
And I've got to shoot them.

247
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,200
Shoot them?

248
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,200
What could be more fun than that?

249
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,200
You can hear the chainsaw spring, flesh and blood all over the walls.

250
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,200
It's horrible.

251
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,200
Yes!

252
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:51,200
Woo! That was fun!

253
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,200
You're alive.

254
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,200
Dude!

255
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,200
Five minutes, 38 seconds.

256
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:05,200
That was not only freaking insane, but we actually, I think, got some interesting results.

257
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,200
First of all, Jamie and I completed the course in just shy of six minutes.

258
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,200
Which is frankly longer than I thought it would take.

259
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:23,200
I was shocked, however, that there is so much tactical gameplay involved that we both took it slow and steady.

260
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:30,200
Now, of course, later when we're doing the pick up and hold on to everything test, it's going to be harder,

261
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,200
but I'm not convinced it's going to take longer.

262
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,200
Again, because of the tactical play.

263
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,200
I'm kind of feeling like it's looking sort of good for the myth at this point.

264
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,200
Later on Mythbusters, maybe this myth isn't doomed.

265
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:48,200
One shot!

266
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,200
The guys gear up and get their monster killing groove on.

267
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,200
That is seriously the most twisted Santa Claus image I have ever seen.

268
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:07,200
Dealing out digital destruction in 2D is as easy as one, two, three.

269
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:16,200
But at a dimension and fruit of various sizes subject to real world physics, is it as simple?

270
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:26,200
To find out the Mythbusters Abandon M5 for an abandoned warehouse.

271
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,200
This is a sparring program.

272
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:35,200
Actually, this is just an open space in which we constructed our version of the Fruit Ninja video game.

273
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:44,200
Note the plastic on the floor, which we will use to contain our fruit carnage and the small tower on top of which will be our Fruit Ninja,

274
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:50,200
so that we can safely throw up fruit from underneath without being decapitated.

275
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:56,200
Now, one of the key aspects of the virtual game Fruit Ninja is that the fruit is reaching the top of its arc right in front of you.

276
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,200
So we want real fruit to reach the top of its arc, so we need people who are really good at throwing.

277
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,200
You know who's really good at throwing?

278
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,200
Jugglers.

279
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,200
Our jugglers today come courtesy of San Francisco's own circus center.

280
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,200
They are all experts at the art of non-lethal objects flying through the air.

281
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,200
Their names in order are Erika, Nicholas, and Audrey.

282
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,200
In the virtual game, the fruit is pitched to perfection.

283
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:32,200
As it rises, gravity pulls it down and decreases its vertical velocity to zero at the apex.

284
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:38,200
And to match the game, that has to happen at exactly the right height in front of Adam.

285
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,200
Let's go.

286
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,200
Hi, Hatch.

287
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,200
Hey, let's throw some fruit.

288
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,200
All right.

289
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,200
This is how this is going to work.

290
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,200
We've got our basket full of fruit.

291
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,200
We've got our jugglers to throw the fruit up in the air.

292
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,200
All we need is our ninja up there to slice it.

293
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,200
I'm totally ready. Let's do this.

294
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,200
This is going to be great.

295
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,200
Can Adam beat his 100-cut benchmark?

296
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:13,200
For this test, our ninja, aka Adam Savage, will have one minute to cut all the fruit he can.

297
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,200
But for the most part, I'm going to be doing that.

298
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,200
Oh, this feels great.

299
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,200
You ready, sir?

300
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,200
I'm ready.

301
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,200
Are you ready?

302
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,200
Not quite, but what the hell?

303
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,200
All right.

304
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,200
You count us down, Jamie.

305
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,200
Okay.

306
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:34,200
Fruit Ninja in three, two, one, go.

307
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:47,200
Right from the get-go, it's clear that compared to the game, Adam, a trained swordsman, is having a hard time.

308
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:53,200
But compared to the game, Adam, a trained swordsman, is having more difficulty making contact.

309
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,200
Oh, my gosh. I'm missing everything.

310
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,200
The fruit seems to be moving much faster than the virtual equivalent.

311
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,200
Yes.

312
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,200
But once he gets his range, he starts to make an impact on the scoreboard.

313
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,200
Yes, pineapple. Tomato.

314
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,200
Oh, yeah.

315
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,200
Thirty seconds.

316
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,200
Thirty seconds already? This is too much fun.

317
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,200
Too close to me.

318
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,200
Quick.

319
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,200
Oh, a whole thing of bananas.

320
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:39,200
Three, two, one.

321
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,200
Oh, ho-ho.

322
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,200
Oh.

323
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,200
That was perhaps more fun than should be allowed.

324
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,200
I think my scoring was pretty poor on that.

325
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,200
You got a few pieces of fruit.

326
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,200
I got a piece of a few pieces.

327
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,200
Yes.

328
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:05,200
It is such a crazy experience standing on top of this elaborate platform with the three jugglers.

329
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,200
Oh, yeah.

330
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,200
Perling fruit into my sphere of influence, only to try and catch it with the edge of my sword.

331
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:16,200
And the satisfaction when my blade actually does catch the fruit, cleaves it into a...

332
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:23,200
It's so much more satisfying than actually playing the game on a screen.

333
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,200
I mean, it doesn't even compare.

334
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,200
With the test complete, the chopped fruit is collected and counted.

335
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,200
Oh, look at that. Perfectly in half.

336
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,200
To reveal a disappointing score of 30.

337
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,200
I am literally eating the fruit of my labor.

338
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:50,200
So our ninja, aka Adam, sliced 30 of the 100 or so pieces of fruit,

339
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,200
which is way lower than he got on the virtual game.

340
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,200
But in his defense, the jugglers were off on two fronts.

341
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,200
More fruit, more fruit.

342
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,200
First, they didn't throw fruit at a fast enough rate,

343
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,200
meaning getting a really good score was impossible.

344
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,200
And second, they threw some fruit so close to him that it was too difficult to cut.

345
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,200
Too close to me?

346
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:15,200
So they're resetting a little further back to make it easier for him to hit the perfect apex, right in Adam's zone.

347
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,200
But will it be enough to triple his score?

348
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,200
I have my doubts.

349
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:23,200
Grapefruit.

350
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,200
Alright, I've had a little bit of a breather.

351
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,200
We're about to go again.

352
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,200
The jugglers have mastered their arcs.

353
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,200
And we're going to try this test for you.

354
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,200
I think I'm going to do much better this time than the first one.

355
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,200
Fruit Ninja in three, two, one, go.

356
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,200
Oh, yes!

357
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,200
Ha ha!

358
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,200
Pineapple.

359
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,200
Yes!

360
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,200
From the first fruit to be beheaded, it's obvious Adam's improving.

361
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,200
Ha ha!

362
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,200
Yes!

363
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,200
The man is a mine!

364
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,200
With the jugglers now right on target.

365
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,200
Coconut.

366
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,200
Oh ho ho!

367
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,200
Oh yeah!

368
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,200
Every piece hits the apex at a cuttable height.

369
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,200
Thirty seconds.

370
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,200
Thirty seconds!

371
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:16,200
And Adam appears to be taking out his targets with video game like ease.

372
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,200
There's fifteen seconds.

373
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:26,200
But as the clock counts down and concentration and stamina flags, his hit rate sucks.

374
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,200
Meaning the result is up in the air.

375
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,200
Ha ha!

376
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,200
Whew!

377
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,200
That is cool.

378
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:48,200
I'm noticing three things that are quite different between virtual fruit ninja and real life fruit ninja, our version.

379
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:54,200
First and foremost is that it's harder than I thought to hit fruit flying through the air.

380
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,200
Second is that the fruit is much smaller in real life.

381
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:03,200
The best I can tell you is that an apple in the game is about the size of a watermelon in real life, so it's much easier to hit.

382
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:08,200
In addition, the size of the fruit is tied to the game's apparent gravity.

383
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,200
If they were scaled correctly, they'd be moving considerably faster.

384
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,200
Third is the slicing itself.

385
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:20,200
In the game, you just move your hand in the direction that you want to slice and it slices the fruit.

386
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:25,200
In real life, the actual edge of the blade has to be pointed in the direction that I'm slashing.

387
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:30,200
And that requires a level of coordination that means I have to stay super super concentrated.

388
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,200
I'm missing them all.

389
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,200
It's fun, but it's also difficult.

390
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:47,200
And that difficulty is reflected in the score because even with perfectly pitched fruit, Adam only chopped a few pieces more than half his virtual score.

391
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,200
But that's given Jamie an idea.

392
00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:07,200
With an annual turnover of a hundred billion dollars,

393
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,200
Game over.

394
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,200
What?

395
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:19,200
Video games are massively popular, and first-person shooters pride themselves on their intense realism.

396
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,200
But exactly how real are they?

397
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,200
It's time to find out.

398
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:30,200
With the control under our belt, it's now time for Jamie and I to run our Doom level again.

399
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:38,200
This time, though, instead of putting down weapons when we find a new one, we are keeping everything.

400
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:46,200
The question is, will it take us radically longer? Will we die? Frankly, we don't know.

401
00:27:46,200 --> 00:28:00,200
What we do know is that there's a lot to look. Along with two ammo boxes and three medical kits, there's nine Doom-approved weapons, which, and combined, have a total payload of 80 pounds.

402
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,200
Will that be more than a match for the Mythbusters?

403
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:11,200
Well, first up, it's Jamie, whose control run took 5.53.

404
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,200
Ugh, that's awful.

405
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,200
Jamie, are you ready?

406
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,200
I'm set.

407
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:23,200
Starting the test in three, two, one, go!

408
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:31,200
Like last time, Jamie immediately encounters a backpack, equipment sling, and handgun.

409
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,200
Where are you?

410
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,200
But unlike last time...

411
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,200
When he finds gun two, he doesn't drop gun one.

412
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,200
Don't mess with me.

413
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,200
I wonder if he's going to carry the ammo in his backpack.

414
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,200
Knowing Jamie, he might connect up all the slings on the weapons and just drag them behind him.

415
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:04,200
So you might be thinking that carrying 80 pounds of gear would definitely slow you down.

416
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,200
But I want to point out there's two wrinkles to this story.

417
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:14,200
First, we've set up a test that requires tactical gameplay, which means there's not much rushing in the first place.

418
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,200
Next.

419
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,200
And second, there's adrenaline.

420
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:27,200
Adrenaline, the so-called flight or fight hormone, is released in times of stress, and it basically preps your muscle so they can work harder and faster for longer.

421
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:32,200
And believe me, Jamie is feeling some stress right now, and his adrenaline is pumping.

422
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:38,200
Adam's theory may be sent to you by a friend, and he's going to be a little bit more patient.

423
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,200
But it's going to be a little bit more of a challenge for him.

424
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:46,200
Because halfway through, Jamie's kept up with his control.

425
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,200
That is seriously the most twisted Santa Claus image I have ever seen.

426
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,200
But that doesn't last long.

427
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:03,200
Because soon the combination of weight and bulk starts to take its toll.

428
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,200
Oh, God.

429
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,200
Okay, this is getting me absurd.

430
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,200
He gets in such a tangle...

431
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,200
...that the final ammo box gets kicked to completion.

432
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,200
To reveal a duration that's doubled.

433
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,200
Well, Christmas has come early.

434
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:55,200
How was that?

435
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,200
That was awful.

436
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,200
Really?

437
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,200
That just took all the fun out of it.

438
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,200
Really?

439
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,200
Yeah, I mean, after the first couple of guns, stuff starts falling off.

440
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:13,200
It's like, okay, I could take my time and spend a half an hour neatly packing and hooking everything on.

441
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,200
But that's not the way this is supposed to work.

442
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,200
Well done. Have a rest, and then I'll gear up.

443
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,200
Now it's time for me to go through the doom level, picking up everything.

444
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,200
And I know Jamie said that it removed the entire fun quotient,

445
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,200
but frankly, I think I might be better at distributing the load than he was.

446
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,200
He was just carrying everything like a bag of groceries.

447
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,200
Can't wait. Here we go.

448
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,200
Adam, are you set?

449
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,200
I'm ready, sir.

450
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,200
Three, two, one, go.

451
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:59,200
Adam has a plan to bring this myth back from the brink.

452
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,200
Jamie ignored the backpack and packed his weapons poorly.

453
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,200
Dead.

454
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,200
Adam, however, is going to lock and load efficiently.

455
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:16,200
He's dead.

456
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,200
Using the utility backpack and equipment slings properly.

457
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,200
One shot.

458
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:29,200
But there's no getting around the actual mass and bulk of the gear.

459
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,200
It's starting to take its toll on him.

460
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,200
Here you go.

461
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,200
And in the heat of the action,

462
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,200
we'll never ever kill him.

463
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:41,200
His neatly packed plan begins to come undone.

464
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:55,200
Oh, crap. Another ammo case.

465
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,200
This killed me.

466
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,200
As he slows to a painful to watch crawl.

467
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,200
You made it.

468
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:22,200
Yeah. That was a freaking nightmare.

469
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,200
Isn't that awful?

470
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:30,200
I was doing okay until about halfway through.

471
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,200
And then...

472
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,200
And then I just couldn't strap anything else to my body.

473
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,200
I'm just going to just take a nap right here.

474
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,200
Now, based on Jamie's and my performance,

475
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,200
it would seem that the myth is busted.

476
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,200
But while we are in reasonable shape,

477
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,200
we're nowhere near close to that dude that you are controlling.

478
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,200
When you play do, that's where this guy comes in.

479
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,200
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Brendan Shaw.

480
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,200
He is a UFC heavyweight contender and it's 6'4",

481
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,200
245 pounds and an expert in many martial arts.

482
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:16,200
He is in every way equivalent to the dude you are controlling

483
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:17,200
when you play do.

484
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:21,200
We're going to run him through this level and then we'll make that call.

485
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,200
As Adam has comically concluded...

486
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,200
Oh, my gosh. I'm missing everything.

487
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,200
Mastering the three dimensions of real world flying fruit

488
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,200
is not nearly as simple as the game would have us believe.

489
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:41,200
The fruit in the game is larger and floats in the air for longer,

490
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,200
meaning the numbers just don't add up.

491
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,200
But Jamie's not done yet.

492
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:52,200
Samurais and ninjas and swords and things like that,

493
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,200
they're fine, but they're a little passe.

494
00:34:56,200 --> 00:35:01,200
Jamie's gearing up for something you should not try at home.

495
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,200
He's following the myth busters mantra that if it's worth doing,

496
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,200
it's worth overdoing.

497
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,200
Welcome to Fruit Chainsaw.

498
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,200
Nowadays we use chainsaw.

499
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,200
Oh, yeah!

500
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:29,200
Tackling fruit with a sword is one thing, but with a chainsaw...

501
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,200
...it's something else.

502
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,200
I mean, all you have to do is touch it,

503
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,200
and thanks to that chain going a bazillion miles an hour,

504
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,200
you've got instant fruit salad.

505
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,200
Yeah!

506
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,200
So if you find yourself having to hack away at flying fruit,

507
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,200
it's hard to beat.

508
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,200
Yeah!

509
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,200
Beautiful!

510
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,200
Beautiful!

511
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,200
Jamie's chainsaw was unbelievably effective.

512
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,200
I was really kind of worried that the fruit would skip off the edge of the blade,

513
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:12,200
but, oh man, it was actually so much more awesome looking on camera than the sword.

514
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,200
I'm thrilled. I want to keep going. Can we do some more?

515
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,200
I'm going to say this is some of the sweetest smelling carnage

516
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,200
we have ever produced on this show.

517
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,200
How do you want to call it?

518
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:32,200
I'm going to say it's much harder to play Fruit Ninja in real life than it is in the game,

519
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,200
but it's also much more fun. What do you think?

520
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,200
I'll let you know. I'm waiting for the chainsaw version.

521
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,200
They're totally going to do that now.

522
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,200
Let's get out of here.

523
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,200
It may be game over for the false physics of Fruit Ninja,

524
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,200
but coming up...

525
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,200
The Denizens of the Doom Dungeon...

526
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,200
Brendan, are you ready? Let's do this.

527
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,200
...face a more accurate avatar.

528
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,200
Oh, right in the face!

529
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:06,200
...cue our real-life video game superhero.

530
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,200
Right in the moneymaker.

531
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,200
We're going to pause for a second in our slicing and dicing,

532
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,200
because if you don't mind, there's something I'd like to cover.

533
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,200
Sure, when do you think the first computer games were played?

534
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,200
They had digital computing around the time of the Second World War.

535
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,200
Yeah, didn't you work with the British code breakers on that?

536
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:29,200
And shortly after that, they had to be starting to play games with them.

537
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,200
In fact, you're totally correct.

538
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,200
The first computer games came about in the 1950s,

539
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,200
just after the advent of the first computers

540
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,200
on machines that could handle about 200 computations per second.

541
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,200
Video games, as we know it, really blow up in the 70s

542
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:46,200
after games like Pong and Kids Today play at a completely different level.

543
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:51,200
On machines that manage a mind-boggling 2 trillion with a T,

544
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,200
operations per second.

545
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,200
So basically you're talking about 20 million times

546
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,200
what the Apollo mission had to get to the moon.

547
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:01,200
Exactly.

548
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,200
Just to make life hell for some digital fruit.

549
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,200
Yes, isn't that awesome technology, man?

550
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,200
Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

551
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:20,200
Adam and Jamie have just failed to fire in their first-person shooter.

552
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,200
But an accurate avatar, they're not.

553
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,200
That's where this guy comes in.

554
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,200
This is the moment of truth.

555
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,200
Jamie and I have run this Doom level once each,

556
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,200
carrying all the weapons with an average time of just over 11 minutes.

557
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,200
Now it's time for Brendan to do the same.

558
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,200
Brendan, are you ready?

559
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,200
Yes, sir. I'm ready. Let's do this.

560
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:59,200
Three, two, one, go.

561
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:07,200
Like Adam and Jamie, Brendan starts with the one weapon at a time test.

562
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:09,200
Let's do this.

563
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,200
Which he tears up.

564
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,200
Oh, right in the face.

565
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,200
Got him.

566
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,200
Three, two, one.

567
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,200
Right in the one, maker.

568
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,200
Brendan completes the control in a mere four minutes.

569
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:37,200
Good job.

570
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:38,200
Thanks, sir.

571
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,200
But how will this ultimate fighter fare when he has to collect and carry?

572
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,200
Brendan, are you ready?

573
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,200
Yes, sir. Let's do this.

574
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,200
Start the level in three, two, one.

575
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,200
Go.

576
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,200
Right from the double doors.

577
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,200
I'll bet he's going to kick our butt in this.

578
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:57,200
We'll see.

579
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,200
Neaseless backpack check.

580
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:03,200
Brendan tackles the course with the same energy as before.

581
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,200
Right in the face, Sniper.

582
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,200
That's very fast for some counter.

583
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,200
Two guns and 18 pounds has no effect.

584
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,200
Oh.

585
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,200
33 pounds, the same.

586
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,200
Even the dreaded chainsaw

587
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,200
impedes him not at all.

588
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,200
And while he's groaning like there's no tomorrow.

589
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,200
I'm not sure whether that's the bad guys or Brendan.

590
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:49,200
It's almost as much fun to listen to as being part of the actual level.

591
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,200
He's so fast that before the guys know it...

592
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:57,200
Yes, sir.

593
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:01,200
Dude.

594
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,200
Yeah.

595
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,200
That was magnificent.

596
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,200
I mean, you know what? I forgot to use the backpack.

597
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,200
I was just going to carry it all the stuff.

598
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,200
He's choking me a tad.

599
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:13,200
I'm like, oh, snap.

600
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:14,200
Look at Lydie.

601
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:15,200
It's snug.

602
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,200
Oh my gosh.

603
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:20,200
You beat us carrying everything when we didn't have to carry stuff.

604
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,200
It's amazing how a little bit of adrenaline do you when you have zombies chasing you.

605
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:30,200
It's a stunning result because even loaded down with nine weapons,

606
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,200
three medicates and two ammo boxes,

607
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,200
Brendan's time was not slowed in the slightest.

608
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,200
That's not all we've learned today.

609
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:43,200
You know what?

610
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:47,200
These zombies, demons really.

611
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,200
Right in the moneymaker.

612
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,200
They don't like to get hit in the penis for whatever reason.

613
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,200
I'm just really good at hitting them there.

614
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:55,200
Got them.

615
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:56,200
Right in the money shot.

616
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:57,200
And they're groaning.

617
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,200
I don't think the extras are too happy about it, the volunteers,

618
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,200
but you got to do what you got to do.

619
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:06,200
How do you want to call it?

620
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:07,200
You know what's funny?

621
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:13,200
Because we got most of the way through this set of tests with me being convinced this was going to be busted all the way down the line.

622
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,200
And then after Brendan's run, got to say I think it's plausible.

623
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,200
I think you're right.

624
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,200
Let's get back to the real world.

625
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:21,200
Okay.

626
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,200
You
