Hey guys, it is Sunday, February 2nd, Super Bowl Sunday, and you're hanging out with the boys. So don't forget to use crack and open a cold beer with the boys hashtag to talk all about 1UP Weekly. And I'm here with my co-host, Justin. That's right, I'm here, and I want to tell everyone, Ralph is a liar. It's not Sunday. It's actually Friday. Okay, okay, okay. It's pre-recorded, but we're going to make it interactive, okay? We promise. It's going to be interactive, but it is pre-recorded. That's right. But we'll be available in the chat. We just can't do this whole setup during the actual halftime. But don't worry. Stay with us because it's going to be fun. And also, also, we got to tell them at the end of the video, stay till the end. We know that halftime is usually 25 minutes. I'm going to showcase a little tiny clip of the mod that I'm doing this coming week. So if it's Sunday right now, of course, because it's February 2nd, on Monday, that week, we're going to feature whatever it is that I'm going to show. So you got to stay through the whole show to see it anyways. And also I am going to be what? Oh my gosh. What are you wearing by the way? No, it's a beer helmet. And I've always wanted to buy one of these and now I can, cause well, cause I did it for the show, but there's a cool, I'll get to it in a little bit, but there is some technology here where the tube you'll see, I haven't cracked it open yet, but the tubes go to both beers. And this is so that like, imagine if you were drinking one beer faster than the other your head would kind of go like this so it is kind of genius in its design but we'll get to that in a little bit all right justin i think we should go so so hey ralph i have a question yeah yeah no i i have a question for you okay score oh shut up i don't know what the score okay yes they get it it's not live i don't know what the score is but someone does know right now because the game has want to make a guess okay let's guess and since it's not live let's see i think that come on i think that right now as you're watching this the 49ers are winning I don't know. That's going to be my guess. Okay. Yeah, buy something. I'll go with that. Okay, cool. All right, so. That sounds good. We're back. We're back. We're going to do sort of a fun clip show of some kind of things that kind of happened throughout last year. Now, there's a character that I'm going to go back here real quick. There's a character that I bring up on the show. Justin says people ask about it. It's Cowboy Retro Ralph. But there are people that have no clue where it came from because the video that I featured him in, no one watched. It had like 600 views. So I'm going to run that one first. so you guys can figure out the origins of Cowboy Retro Ralph. You know, modern gamers with their wireless controllers that can sit wherever they want and play. Must be nice. Us retro gamers, yeah, we really do suffer. We're the ones that walk 1,500 miles in the Jon Snow to get to school, and we're playing retro games without wireless controllers? Ugh! There has to be a better way than this. There's got to be a better way! Right? There's got to be a better way. Hey Retro Ralph, why the long face man? Damn! Man, have you ever seen these wireless game pads from 8-Bit Dough? These things have 2.4 Gigahertz. You be gaming wherever you damn please. Man, I hate seeing you with that long face. Well shoot, I feel like Cowboy Retro Ralph needs to tell you a story to make you feel better. So I remember back in the day, the missus and I, we used to have a corded phone, telephone, in our kitchen. You know, I'll be stretching that cord out, trying to make business calls. The missus is saying, you're being too loud, Cowboy Retro Ralph. You're being too loud. And I get over here in the corner. Anyways, long story short, a lot changed right before our eyes. Listen to the clip. This cordless technology came out, same as this 8-bit dough gamepad. It used 2.4 gigahertz. Man, I was talking anywhere I wanted in the house. So, Retro Ralph, I don't want you to have this long face anymore. So Cowboy Retro Ralph wants to give you the gift. He wants to give you the gift of this 8-bit dough wireless gamepad. This will get you gaming back in no time. And man, it's the least I could do. Life sure is good. You know, I don't know who this Cowboy Retro Ralph guy is, but he's a good dude, you know? I mean, he didn't have to do this for me. He doesn't even know me. So anyways, man, these 8-bit dough controllers really are something. I mean, I'm playing here. It's super responsive. The D-pad is great. I don't know. This is just... Oh, man. And I can even go home to the main menu by pressing the home button? Like, I had to get up before. Well, not that I really had to get up because I was so damn close to it, but... Out with the old, in with the new. I'm, like, just as good as these modern gamers. And it's got turbo buttons, too? It took me six hours to figure out how to do that effect. I'm set. Thanks, Cowboy Retro Ralph. You're awesome. Okay. All right, so, man, I can't believe why no one watched that. Okay. That's not cool. Dude. Okay, this is the first time I owned a beer helmet, and I'm not even kidding you. I don't know if you could see this, and maybe they'll see it in replay. I'm soaking wet. Like, it's all foamy. Yeah, yeah, that's nice, Ralph. But now explain your problems as Cowboy Ralph. Hi, Mayan. the beer doesn't come out very good dude I have beer all over my desk you know someone told me I should get one of them beer helmets for for the Super Bowl but shoot by golly it's really messy I'm getting more beer on me than in my mouth is it actually functional not really it's hands free drinking right well I mean it's supposed to be but the problem is maybe I'm doing something wrong but it like you'll see in a little bit Watch, I'll take one drink, but we gotta hurry up. But I'll take one drink. Watch. It's pouring all over me. No! Oh my gosh! It's going everywhere! Dude! Pinch it off. Oh, dude. No, seriously. Seriously, dude. No, put the hose above your head. This is so stupid. Dude, there's beer everywhere. Nope. Did you stop it? Yes, this is so ridiculous. All right, let's go to the next clip. This is so dumb. I gotta clean this up. there okay sorry hold on the next clip next clip is gonna be so hold on all right the next clip was from from a uh of another video i did that no one watched but i loved the intro justin i spent so much time doing this intro and it is kind of sports and basically small gist of it was I had two of these boards called the Game Elf It was Game Elf and, I don't know, I can't remember, they're both called Elf. And so I thought I'd do this funny Elf versus Elf thing. So I'll run that, and I might have to get myself cleaned up, dude. I have to, I'm soaking wet. I'm soaked with beer. All right, I'm gonna do this real quick. Hey, everybody, welcome back to the Retro Ralph Network. Tonight should be a historical matchup of Elf versus Elf. Let's go down to ringside to make introductions. And in this corner, wearing the red headband, weighing in at 750 games, hailing from Shenzhen, China, the Game! A little bit. And in this corner, wearing the light blue headband, weighing in at 309 games, hailing from Monterrey, Mexico, the Blue Whale. This video is so dumb. Alright, here are the rules. I want a good, clean fight. No low blows. You have to maintain horizontal orientation at all times. We are not going to tolerate vertical orientation mumbo-jumbo. Do you guys both understand? Good. Oh my gosh, I'm soaked. The other rules is that you cannot use your jammer harness as a weapon. Do you understand? I want no illegal ROM activity. I want no duplicate ROMs. Is that clear? If that's clear, then let's get rid of Rumble! Let's do it. And there you have it, folks. ConsoleKits here. I guess we're going to have a halftime for the halftime. That's right, Ralph. Okay, I'm back, I'm back, I'm back. That's right. You left me alone again. Yeah, sorry. Okay. No, it was only a second, man. Guys, seriously. Okay, don't buy that beer helmet. I'm writing the nastiest review on Amazon. There's beer, Justin, there's beer all over it. Like, unless there's some trick to it that I don't know about. Like, I have beer all over me. It's all over my desk. I think you need to mod it. Yeah, it needs a mod. I smell so gross. Like, I like beer, but I don't want to smell like beer. But anyways. It's going to be so great when Kim gets home and she's like, what were you doing? She's going to be like, what the hell are you doing? Are you drunk? She's going to be like, why are you washing your pajama bottoms? Anyways, whatever. Anyways, I guess I just exposed that I was wearing pajama bottoms. But okay. Yeah. All right. So, okay. So that was the elf versus elf. I had so much fun filming that. And that was early days for me. So that was a challenge getting that done. But anyways, I had fun with it. so the other video that uh that i wanted to showcase real quick that justin i thought was kind of funny was because this one resonates with a lot of people so this one was an intro to the num skull uh galaga little galaga machine those little tiny ones but the thing is like i kind of joke around having a problem with arcades and i think a lot it will resonate with a lot of you guys because you're probably in the same position where you're looking for space so i'm gonna run the clip real quick i think you'll find it pretty funny yeah hey guys uh weird seeing you here because, you know, I'm about to take a shower, but I mean, I know we've gotten close in the past 10 months or so, but, you know, there's got to be some boundaries. But anyhow, since you're here, I guess I'll talk to you about this conversation I had with Classic Kim this morning. She's like, you know, babe, these arcades, they're kind of gotten out of hand. And, you know, I don't personally think so. And she goes, maybe they could make them a little bit smaller so they take up less space. And I'm thinking, these arcade one-ups, they're already small. Like, how much smaller can you possibly be? And it's not like I have an issue or something. So anyways, I'm going to take a shower and I'll see you guys in a little bit. Son of a bitch. So, so yes. I remember when that came out, I was like, that, that's clever. The funny thing about that is like, I put it in the, I had, you know, putting an arcade one up with the riser in the bathtub was kind of a challenge. And like, I put the riser in it. It was like making some, you know, like what's the material that a tub is made out of? It's not, I can't remember, but it's like the ones that are kind of overlays, it's not like how it used to be porcelain. It's like something else. So anyway, so it's like, I heard it like a little creaky. It was like, and then when I put the cabinet on, it was like, and I'm all, oh boy, like this could be, because imagine if I had broke the tub. Like Kim would have been like, what the hell? How did that break? And I would have had to explain that. So anyways, that would have been brutal. But anyways, my pants are super wet right now. It's like getting deeper into my – it's like in my underwear, and beer is like getting to places it shouldn't even be. Like I've never had beer. I probably have spilt a beer on me at some point, but it's like seeping in. It's awesome. So yeah, my whole room here is going to smell like beer. All right, so next – And what's funny is we know he's never going to clean it up, and I'll tell you why we know he'll never clean it up. Why? Go ahead and roll it. Which one? Just roll the next one. Oh, I know what you want me to do. Okay, here it is. Oh, wait. I messed up, dude. Dude, seriously? Quit still the... Okay, hold on. So this is what happens when you do a live show. So I totally messed up and pulled the wrong clip. but but i'll talk to you about what justin was wanting me to talk about you're talking about the pizza thing right that's right all right so i'll run that clip and then we'll talk about it because i forgot that that's okay so sorry this is this is it's live but it's kind of live all right i'm gonna go back and play it dude seriously quit steal the blankets Who are you to judge okay so what jelson was talking about i don know how i forgot this is that well you can tell him and i'll kind of all right so he's actually this is not the first video that he's done where he's dressed up as ralph and i'm sure you've probably had that costume for a while because it's actually rafael from teenage mutant ninja trolls right yeah well you know ralph and that makes sense right sure you've been associated with that for a while yeah so he did another video in it where he's eating pizza but you know the mask covers his mouth so he's like actually just smearing pizza all over his mouth and so when he did that video he's like oh my gosh you get this you're gonna love the intro to my next video and he called me about it and he goes what's funny about it though it was really horrible to do the video because he never cleaned it and so like months had gone by and it smelled like old pizza on yeah it was like old parmesan cheese it was so bad dude and it was the funny thing is is that because i guess parmesan is aged it wasn't like moldy but it it just was gross like it was really gross like It was bad. And it was like you had the rest of the content filmed or something like that, and you were rushing to get it out. So you're just like, screw it. I just got to press record and just do it. Well, and to make matters worse, if you really want to go back and watch this, you can totally see my underwear through it, which is creepy. I didn't realize how creepy it was until after because people started – I posted and I was all excited. Yeah, I got TMNT out before everyone else. And then I look and I'm like, oh, crap. it was mortifying like it's bad you can see things you shouldn't want to see you shouldn't see of yeah yeah anyways whatever so so the next one i wanted to show you guys really quick or we wanted to show you guys i got justin i got beat up for this one hard it was i was probably six months into being you know running a youtube channel and they had announced the capcom home arcade and it looked like crap right it was like it was a fight stick that said capcom and i'm all really like that's what they're going to release like and the thing is i don't know the whole story it's not really capcom it's like licensed to some other company or whatever i don't even know but whatever the capcom license someone to do this right and i think it's coke media or something like that so anyway so i was like that's so dumb it looks like a crappy pandora's box so i was like i'm gonna make a video like i'm in the in the thumbnail i'm gonna be holding it saying first look but it's gonna be like a goofy trailer and this is the only video that i have that has more thumbs down and thumbs ups it's pretty funny i think it's funny but apparently like the communities out there didn't think it was that funny um or they just were upset because it was kind of clickbait but anyways i'll run it really quick i think you guys will like it it's about a minute and 30 seconds welcome to the most significant achievement in home arcade gaming in the last century an achievement so significant that it rivals things like antibiotics and vaccines landing on the moon, sending a Tesla to space, and even the internet. Capcom, in conjunction with some of the best engineering talent on the planet, are about to rock your world in a big way. What could possibly contain such greatness? What would a device look like that could deliver this level of arcade excitement? Funny you should ask. We assembled a crack team of the most talented marketing resources on the planet to design a home arcade system so sexy that it's bringing sexy back to your living room with 16 titles, the likes of Final Fight, Alien vs. Predator, Strider, Street Fighter II, and Street Fighter II The Movie. Wait, wait, what? That's not really on there, right? And now, for the first time ever, we give you the Capcom Home Arcade. What was wrong with that? What was wrong with that? I don't know why. It's always funny because I remember someone commented in there and they said, now we know what you do with all your modded arcade one-up buttons. And that was actually right. I took every modded button I had taken out of an arcade one-up and shoved it in there. And when I dropped it, it just exploded. so that was pretty fun i had a good time with that video but yeah that was i don't know they um i got beat up for that one man i thought it was pretty funny though yeah so whatever happened with that capcom controller like that did you ever pick one up yeah i had one i did a video on it i think i did a lunchtime live stream on it so if you guys want to check it out you can go back and look i had a lot of problems with mine so there's like a wi-fi bug that it has where oh right it says that if you have a space in your wi-fi name it won't connect to your wi-fi so so that that is like a known issue so the problem is is you get the stick and you can't update it well i you know went out of my way to re you know redo my wi-fi ssd name and it didn't it still didn't connect so anyways i had joined the reddit page talking about it i never got it could never connect to wi-fi so i was never able to update it and honestly the version that it comes shipped with was pretty, it was pretty crappy. So honestly, excuse me, the beer, um, it's kind of a shame cause like it, I think it had potential, like maybe down the road they'll update it. But if I literally can't connect to wifi, then there's nothing I can really do. So if it gets down to that and they provide some updates, which I don't think they will, if they do, you know, I'll call them up or something or open up a support case, but it's, it was kind of a dud in my opinion with, so anyway, so that's kinda, that's kinda where that went. So I think, let's see, did we get to all of them oh no we didn't get to one so oh so if you guys watched our live footage from um from ces you heard justin and i uh you know we kind of in unison did that let's just try it so there's a delay and justin thinks it won't work and it probably won't work but i'm gonna we're gonna try it so i'm gonna do three two one and we're gonna try ready all right fine so i'm gonna but i'm gonna have the other one teed up at the same time i'm gonna i'm gonna put it on as soon as we try it. Ready? All right. All right So am I going to do the 3 2 1 You go ahead and do it All right And ignore if we sound off Just ignore it Yeah because Justin already told me it not going to work So all right. Three, two, one. It's the Arcade. One-up countercade. That didn't work. You were right. I told you it didn't work. Welcome back. Let's run the clip. So today I was just, you know, minding my own business, working from home, and the doorbell rang, and I got a package. I bet you're curious what that package was. Well, I'm going to show you. It's the Arcade Warn-Up Countercade! All right, well... See, it worked live. It worked when we were physically together. but you know, it doesn't work when you're on the phone because a lot of people don't know this, but when you're talking on the phone, you, you perceive like the other person can hear you instantly, but there's, there's lag, there's lag in telephones. Yeah. And it wasn't, it wasn't so much back in the analog days, but it is in the digital days. And, and if you ever want to test with it, just talk to someone else and be like, Hey, let's sing along together. Let's try it. Ready? One, two, three. We're going to, on three, we're gonna clap ready one two three clap wait no it's not that bad all right one two three ahead i'm gonna do you messed with me no you messed with me because i went like that and i said three that's not stupid okay try it again all right no it's gonna be three two one i'm not gonna say clap so ready do it in a pattern like this like three two one wait down strokes or up strokes Yeah, three, two, three. Three. It's just stupid. All right, ready? We're going to do fast, right? Three, two, one. Why are you not moving? It's not that much of a delay, dude. It's the delay. It's not that much. You're like this. I'm telling you. Come on. Okay, do this. count down from 10 and i'll follow along when you get to five and don't listen to me just just count down from 10 to one and then one clap sure okay but ignore me minutes okay ignore me all right 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 1 oh that was yeah it was close it was close all right anyways so all right the last one i think we're going to show is actually we're actually right on time this is amazing so we're never on time so i'm thinking we're trying to gauge that uh that the super bowl halftime's probably about 24 minutes 25 minutes i think so what we're going to do is i'm going to quickly run and i want to get justin's reaction because he hasn't seen this yet so i took some really crappy footage of this this is the surprise yeah of this surprise mod i'm going to do i think you guys are going to be excited about it because it's definitely one that that we were kind of teased with so anyways i'm going to run the clip it's really short it's like maybe 20 seconds and then i want to get justin's reaction drool oh no yeah okay so for those of you that don't know when we were at ces we saw the civil strike prototype it was only there day one actually and we we kind of asked why it wasn't there day two and day three and what was the reason it was like they said that they said that well it wasn't a running game it was just a it was just graphics so we took it off confusing people that's what they said yeah people kept on asking if they could play it they're like show us the silver strike and they're like oh it's just a concept right now like we're working on it we that doesn't actually have the emulator in it yet yeah so just probably because they get so that asked so many times they're just like this we're wasting time you know just remove But there was one thing that was peculiar about that cabinet, Justin, and I actually didn't notice it. I don't know how, but I didn't notice it that day that I was asking John about it. And it's in the top left for whatever reason. So I'll rerun this really quick. In the top left where it says Golden T Classic, they had an Atari logo, but that makes no sense. So I was half wondering if maybe the issue was with like Atari or either Atari or Incredible was like why is the Atari logo on there? Because it didn't make any sense. Yeah. You know what's really cool is I – sure, it could have been a printing mistake. What if it wasn't? What if there's something we don't know? I have no idea what vested interest Atari – yeah. All right. Anyways. Okay. So guys, so it is – it's almost 25 minutes. I want you to have enough time. we want you to have enough time to get back to your you know get back in the room stop being anti-social i'm sure your wife by now is super pissed she's like oh my god i knew i knew oh see listen hey that's it that's our timer all right we really hope you enjoyed thank you for spending some time with us i hope you laughed at ralph i know i did i wanted to make fun of him more but He said dial it down when we were practicing. And, you know, I was going to surprise him and just really make fun of him. But I can't do that. You're my buddy, man. I think you do that enough like off air that it really doesn't, you know. You double down off air. You guys think I'm kind of mean to him on the show. Just realize. Which one's really the nice guy? Mmm. Yeah. Wait. Some people think you're not a nice guy. I don't get it. You'll have to explain that on another episode. Oh, gosh. I just opened up Pandora's box. Ooh, no pun intended. All right, guys. We got to go. Enjoy the rest of the football game. I guess go whatever team it is. And don't forget to use crack open a cold one with the boy Z hashtag. It's really not a real hashtag, but I'm sure some douche has a hashtag like that. Use it. Yeah. On the next one. All right.
