Ame: 'Sup Hailstones. Remember how I told you guys you'd be getting the occasional facecam video? Well here ya go.
[Ame's facecam is lower left, Logan's is upper right]
Ame: Logan and I are gonna play Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes today. I figured he'd be better to play it with than the other two and we just happen to be home together today.
Logan: If I might ask, why am I more suited for this than the others?
[Logan adjusts his glasses, Ame shrugs]
Ame: Well I think Roman would get too stressed out. He also gets distracted as hell at the slightest thing. And Patton would freak out, games like this aren't his forte.
Logan: Fair enough.
[Game loads]
Logan: So explain how this works.
Ame: Alright. One of us is going to have a bomb. One will have a manual that tells us how to diffuse it. That's why we have to record in different rooms, so we can't cheat. The one of us with the bomb will have to describe what's on it and the other has to try and figure out which part of the manual needs to be used.
[Ame picks multiplayer mode]
Ame: So to start, I'll go with the bomb, since I've played this before. Do you want to do an easy one or go up a little?
Logan: Why don't we start with something in the middle, that way I can gauge their difficulty spectrum.
Ame: Hell yeah, I can do that.
[Ame picks a mid-level bomb]
Ame: We've got three minutes for four puzzles. Think we can do that?
Logan: I don't see why not. It will just take a lot of concentration on our part.
Ame: We've got this.
[Begin]
Ame: Alright so I've got the four puzzles. Which one should we do first?
Logan: Whichever seems easiest.
Ame: I see wires. Let's start with that.
[Ame rotates the bomb to look at the wires]
Ame: I've got four wires.
Logan: Alright...
Ame: First two are yellow, then a red, then a white.
Logan: Cut the last wire.
[Ame pauses]
Ame: Really?
Logan: Yes.
Ame: Bet.
[Ame cuts the last wire. The light blinks green]
Ame: Alright, that's a good start. Let's move on.
Logan: Just tell me what you see.
Ame: Ooh, I've got a pad with words on it.
[Logan scrolls through the handbook]
Logan: What's the word on the top?
Ame: Uhhh.
Logan: It's right there, isn't it? Come on.
[Ame rolls his eyes]
Ame: No, dipsh*t, the word is uhhh. One 'u' then three 'h's.
Logan: Language.
Ame: My channel.
[Logan scrolls down a little in the handbook]
Logan: Alright, what are the words under it?
Ame: Right, Blank, Nothing, Middle, Wait, Okay.
Logan: Press Nothing.
[Ame presses the Nothing button. The top changes to read U]
Ame: Now it says U. Just the letter U.
Logan: And your options?
Ame: Uh Uh, You, Hold, Done, Next, Sure
Logan: Press Sure.
[Ame goes to click Sure, but accidentally clicks Done]
Ame: Shit! One strike.
Logan: What? But the handbook said-
Ame: Nah, that's on me. I misclicked... Let's try something else.
Logan: Very well.
Ame: Oh, there's a button!
Logan: What kind of button?
[Ame rotates the bomb to see it properly]
Ame: It says 'Detonate' on it.
Logan: Is there more than one battery on the bomb?
Ame: Uhh... hold on.
[Ame rotates the bomb to check it. He also checks the time]
Ame: We've got a minute twenty-eight left. Yes, there's more than one battery. Three, actually.
Logan: Press and immediately release the button.
[Ame clicks and releases. The module light turns green]
Ame: F*ck yeah! Okay, lets go back to the keypad thing. I've got Display now.
Logan: What's your last word on the right?
Ame: Yes.
Logan: Does a button say Okay?
Ame: Nope.
Logan: Right?
Ame: Yeah, I've got one.
Logan: Press it, then tell me the top of the display again.
[Ame presses the button, then they run through the rest of the module]
Ame: Sweet, one more module to go. We've got thirty-five seconds- it's Simon Says.
Logan: Check the serial number first. you're looking for a vowel.
[Ame rotates the bomb to find the serial number]
Ame: No vowel.
Logan: Alright, what color flashes on the module?
Ame: Blue flash.
Logan: Press Green.
[Ame clicks green. The blue flashes, then the yellow]
Ame: Blue, then yellow.
Logan: Green, then red.
Ame: Blue, yellow, green.
Logan: Green, red, blue.
[Ame presses the buttons. The module turns green]
Ame: We did it!
Logan: In terms of difficulty, that wasn't overly hard.
Ame: I think it pays off to have a good teammate. What did you think of the game?
Logan: It was definitely interesting. Shall we switch for this next round?
[He begins to load up the game, fixing his hair in the camera viewfinder]
Ame: I think it's only fair... we had ten seconds left, that's incredibly stress-inducing.
Logan: And you enjoy playing this game? Also interesting.
Ame: Hey, just cause I'm an anxiety-ridden mess doesn't mean that I can't enjoy stressful games. I just have to take some time to calm myself down afterward.
[Ame opens up the pdf file of the manual, adjusting his headphones]
Logan: I see. If you have any issues with that, let me know.
Ame: Yeah yeah, I will. Load up the game.
Logan: It's loaded already. Shall we try something harder this time around?
Ame: Go for it. The time is shorter, so keep an eye on it.
[Logan loads a new game, picking a shorter time, more module bomb]
Logan: Two minutes, four modules. Ready?
Ame: Yup. I've got the manual ready.
[Logan loads the game and looks over the bomb]
Logan: Somehow this is not what I was expecting at all... I've got a wire module, why don't we start with that?
[Ame scrolls to the wire module part]
Logan: this looks much more complicated than what you described.
Ame: Sh*t, okay hold on. There's more than one wire part I think. Yeah- I found it.
[They go through the wire module, getting a strike]
Ame: Time check?
Logan: A minute. I've got a button.
Ame: Color?
Logan: It says Detonate like yours, but there's only one battery.
Ame: Okay I need a color.
Logan: Red.
Ame: Press and release.
[Logan presses the button and lets it go]
Logan: Two to go- how do we only have thirty seconds left?
Ame: Keep going!
Logan: I've got a keypad.
Ame: What kind?
Logan: Numbers.
[Ame scrolls, but doesn't get to the keypad option in time]
Logan: D*mn. That was harder than I thought.
Ame: It was. Jesus... I think I'm done for the day, blood pressure is skyrocketing.
Logan: Fine by me.
Ame: Alright, hope you all enjoyed, like and subscribe, ring that bell or whatever YouTube does now, see you in the next storm.
