Monkey welcome. So this one is Fantasy Warzone. Wizards, elves, dragons, and dark lords from fantasy epics collide in a realm-spanning war. So you have to match the theme with your nominations. Yeah, Voldemort would be a fantastic one here. But you gotta wait.
0:23
And now it's good to go. So if you want to nominate, type in exclamation point N-O-M space. and then the name of whatever character or thing you want to nominate.
0:37
There you go. So CNK nominating King Kong. Nice. All right. So AI's got it all good to go here. Now here's the fun part. We have three nominations, but only two people can battle. So you either vote for Gandalf, King Kong, or Geralt, rather, and you type in exclamation point V and then the number.
1:00
Let's take a look. Derped up first time. Your current rank is second because you're the only other person to nominate anything so far. And you got Gandalf. Check out that good picture. AI is pretty decent Then you got King Kong who number two That from C And right now it a rolling 30 average I know CNK you done stuff before Don worry about the fact that you at 0 We just haven't played in five months. And then finally, vote number three, Geralt of Rivia, who looks amazing. AI did a fantastic job there. All right, here we go. We're about to kick things off. And I'm not doing any of this at this point. It's all happening on its own. Ready.
1:45
Spellbound swords, the epic showdown of the Witcher and the Grey Wizard. That's pretty awesome, Daze. Now, there's a few things we have here. First of all, AI has determined that Gandalf is 55% more likely, or is at 55% on a win percentage. That Geralt is only at 45%. And then check it out. AI also generated D&D stats for each. So we've got strength 10, dexterity 12, constitution 14, intelligence of 20.
2:24
What is that? Wisdom of 18 and a charisma of 16 for Gandalf. And that Geralt has only a 16 strength 14 dexterity 15 constitution 13 intelligence 12 wisdom and a 10 charisma I think his charisma a little bit higher
2:44
Strength was my dumb stat. Yeah, your low roll, you threw it into strength. You're a wizard, so, you know. Now, here we are back at, whatever, this is Death Lab. And this is Spellbound Swords. the epic showdown of the Witcher and the Grey Wizard. This will be Gandalf versus Geralt of Rivia. I'm going to kill the music here.
3:08
And here we go. In the shadow of a stormy night, Geralt of Rivia brandishes his silver sword, eyes locked onto Gandalf, who conjures blinding light with a flick of his wrist, ready to unleash a torrent of magic. I mean, that's honestly not bad. All six seconds of that video kind of looks like Geralt and Gandalf.
3:42
I don't know, there's this weird thing in the middle, but AI really got to appreciate that We off to a good start here Number two The clash of steel against sorcery echoes through the air as Geralt with a swift maneuver sidesteps a devastating spell and delivers a lethal strike, plunging his blade deep into Gandalf's heart. Honestly, that's really not bad. That actually looks pretty dang good. It kind of looks like he sidestepped something there, right? Yes, hoodie, that is supposed to be Tom Hanks' voice. Yeah, we switched it from Morgan Freeman to Tom Hanks. And finally.
4:24
As the wizard crumples to the ground, the storm quiets, leaving Geralt standing victorious amidst the fading glow of his fallen foe. I have no idea what just happened there.
4:37
That's not bad. I mean, it looks like he's on the ground. I don't know why he suddenly gets up while exploding. That's kind of funky. And what's up with that dude's head behind him? Does he have a flat head? Geralt of Rivia ends up winning. Mr. Hardluck, you are the winner. This is...
5:02
Boom. Mr. Hardluck, congratulations. On the first win of this evening,
