GMMore 1245: Playing Crossfire

(rooster crow) (lion roar) – Welcome to Good Mythical More, the wheel comes to a gentle landing, just like this episode. Thanks for hanging with us. – Don’t Google That! Whatever you do, don’t Google Hamadryas Baboon Butts. – How do you spell that, so I can not Google it? – H A M A D R Y A S Hamadryas? Baboon Butts. – Hamadryas Baboon Butts. – That’s probably not how you say it. We probably haven’t said it right yet. – I’m saying it phonetically so they can not Google it. – We’ve already shown, we’ve already shown them how to spell it, and they’ve already Googled it, because they can’t help themselves. – That’s true. Oh my goodness. – That’s why the robots are going to be able to manipulate you so easily, because you have these instincts that you cannot, cannot resist. And the robots know that. The robots don’t have that. They don’t have the baggage that we have, of all the adaptation of just trying to survive and trying to reproduce for millions of years. Because they just make themselves exactly the way that they need to be made. And that’s why there is no hope for the human race. – Happy holidays! (laughter) – Speaking of holidays, we were, let’s see we were on a plane going to a specific Mythical tour location and we were asked “What are some favorite toys that you wish you would have gotten as kids, but you never got for Christmas?” – Right. – And I replied to the text and said “Crossfire”, the board game that has the little spherical, what are they called? Ball bearings. And you shoot ’em at each other. – I remember that. – And I really wanted that game, and… – You weren’t allowed to have it? – It’s funny because I wanted it so bad, I feel like I’ve played it. But then the more I thought about it, I was like, you know what? I never got it. – I played it at other people’s homes, but I didn’t have it either. – And then I saw that you replied in the same thread, and you said “a crossbow”. Which, I thought you were just being smarty-pants. Or did you? – I wasn’t. I honestly wanted a crossbow and wasn’t able to get one. But that wasn’t… The reason I thought of it was because I saw you said “Crossfire”. – Oh, oh, okay. – So I wasn’t making it up. – Okay. – It’s just I, my parents let me have a slingshot. You remember that. I had a slingshot that was very, very… I don’t know even why I had that, because it was the kind that could, like, kill something. – Like a bird? – Uh-huh. – Did you? – I tried many times and never successfully did it because it was very inaccurate. – It’s hard to aim with a slingshot. – I could’ve hit one of those Hatchimals, I’ll tell you right now though. You put it within like six inches of the front of it. But we now are gonna make up for those lost childhood dreams. – Yeah, I have… I see that you guys made my dreams come true! Did you buy this on eBay or something? This is really it! Did they re-release it, or is this an eBay find? – Re-release. – Oh, it’s out again? – Well, let’s play. – See? And it’s no different! Which, you’d think that they would make it safer. Because you got these things, which you can, you know, you can ingest. – But see what you do? You have one thing out here, and then you’re trying to get that into the other guy’s situation. – Here’s another one, too. – Maybe put both of them are out there from the beginning. – Okay. – You ready? Three, two, one, go. (metallic shooting) – [Rhett] My trigger doesn’t work. There we go, there we go. This is why they didn’t… – I’m gonna get that one. And then you gotta scoop. Gotta scoop and reload! (metallic clacking) – Ahhh! I was so close to getting that. – [Rhett] Golly! – [Link] Golly, boy! – [Rhett] This is fun, Dad! Daddy like! (metallic clanking) Man, you got all the balls on your side. (metallic clanking) – The key is to get both at once. (metallic clanking) ♪Crossfire, Crossfire, let it rip!♪ Oh my goodness! – Look at all the balls that are just stuck on the freakin’ thing! We gotta get all these balls off. – Look. – Yeah. Okay, we can do that. (metallic clanking) – My trigger finger’s tired. – [Link] There’s a battle in the back corner for this one. This game sucks. – Well, nobody’s won yet, that’s the problem. – All these balls are getting, like… why didn’t they account for that? – Is this upside down? – No, it just sucks. – Come on. (metallic clanking) Come on! I got a new technique. Papa got a new technique! I mean, in the commercial, this was like super exciting and dangerous. – I mean, like… – I think this game stresses me out because I’m afraid of losing ball bearings. So I’m more concerned about not losing the balls than I am about winning. Like that one. – There’s too much jamming going on. – If you put your finger up there and push it down… Alright. – I keep running, like, repeatedly, I get into a place where all the balls are on your side. That keeps happening, like, multiple times throughout the game. – Come on! Hungry Hippos this is not. – Hungry Hippos is way better than this. – Hungry Hippos is more brainless. But now, in the commercial, they never seem to show people struggling to reload. I will point out that I’m in a very defensive mode, but you can’t put me out of my misery. – No, I can’t, because you keep… – Maybe you should get that crossbow of yours. Try to use that. – I think the effort, well, the time it’ll take me to figure out how to operate that thing is… – You wanted a real crossbow, so I can tell you’re disappointed with that anyway. Oh, I’m so tired! Woooo! – Okay, I’m onto the crossbow. See if, unaided, you can get that in there. Uh…no one has explained to me how this works, but that’s best. That’s best. (metallic clacking) Um, does it have something to do with… Oh! This. This. I see what to do now. That pulls back like this. – Oh, here we go! – Then you just… – I’m about to hit you with one final bullet. – Oh, no, seriously? – Yep, okay! – What?
