Put a pair of Metallica when you get somewhere. I don't think it looked good on Metallica. It's too yellowy. Yeah. This game is pretty yellow. Don't tilt, Sneadol. Try to get all four multiple. One, two, three, four. Four months. Well, you can't stack anything.

You can stack coffin with Sparky. You can stack coffin with Great Marker. But you can't have anything where Great Marker and Sparky are in the same multi-marker.

Snakey! Thank you. Nice! Well now I'm going to go home and play some Hearthstone or Diablo or something.

Maybe I'll meet my girlfriend for a little bit. Maybe I'll draw a picture of a cat. Everybody out! Doing some robot stuff.

Like replace raptors from Jurassic Park with cats. I have those skills. Oh yeah, you can do photoshops. No, I'm talking motion. Motion? What kind of wizard are you? I'm an anim... I'm an animizard. Anim wizard? I'm an atom wizard. Skip.

Oh, one. Just smash the ball. Oh. James Hetfield, the king of voiceover acting. CGI shit, yeah, you're right, Squibble Donate Kid.

A thousand dads. Hey, Internet, are you seeing things animated around here, like a light sweep on the logo, or a light sweep on the words, and, like, the logo animated?

I don't know if it froze or not. Seeking his drive And He's going Ride that motherfucker Motherfucker Did you ride your bicycle here, Nick Campbell? No, I drove today. Funny, I also drove today.

You drove your bicycle? What do I get? Yeah! It's all supposed to be super subtle so that it's not distracting. Oh, dynamics? No.

Good, I'm glad it's not, like, screaming in your face. That's the point. God. Quit! Nothing distracted looking for it. It happens like every minute. The logo animates every minute, and the words up top animate every minute. Oh, God. Clean. Minute. Oh sorry Yes I don know Clean Oh fuck It be waiting for you but you got to dig for for it No I gotta get it all out again That what I saying It not waiting for me I said it'll be waiting for you but you gotta dig it out. It'll be waiting for you, you just have to start over. One shot. You said the animation catches the corner of your eye every once in a while. Eh, you're fine. I'll come up with something cooler. Uh, good ball Nick Campbell. Thanks man. I smoke toast again. Am I having a stroke?

How many fingers am I holding up? What are fingers? Okay, it's Quark Town. Spark time.

Raise the power. Amazing. No. I was hoping for the blood. Have you ever said no right when he says it? No. I'll try. I've got to be in it, though. I can't, like, fake it, though. No, there's got to be a time when that's going to happen.

Higgy, higgy, higgy. By putting a green screen under the table? Whoa! Jaded, I did not go to college. I did not. All of my animation skills came from reading books, learning from people better than me, and, you know, just trial and error. Not saying that you shouldn't go to school for stuff like that, because a lot of people need that sort of instruction. I made a lot of really embarrassing mistakes coming up through this industry that college would have fixed, but it's just, it is what it is.

Switch it! Jack Danger. Oh, I'm not going to say my company name. Jack Danger. Jack Danger from Dangerton. From Danger High School.

DJ Dangerfield High School. Where the kids all are hobbling, ready to go. DJ Dangerfield High School.

That was a good shake. Okay. Just every time I turn it on the right outline, you'll always see me hold up that lift. I know, you got a bad habit. Break it.

Whoa! Lightning millions! Lord Squeak, if you're talking to me, I animate primarily commercial stuff.

2D, 3D, hand-drawn shit. Donate to kids. I also worked briefly with the Wachowskis on Jupiter Ascending, which was fun. I got to do bees.

I gotta animate these, I guess is what I'm interested in. Beavis and Butt-head, yep, yep. Essentially, I invented Dick Butt, you know? You invented that? No, I wish.

Alright I got a multi with the rant mode running You told us yesterday that you were a Newfie for three years Isn that embarrassing enough

Why do Newfies get such a bad rap? They're just terrible smelling, weird, French-Canadian fishermen.

You know, no disrespect to those Newfies out there. Oh, there's the wrist. Whoa. Clean. Win it. Uh, the internet. Come on, the internet.

Fall in, you jackass. You have a big score. I crank it up. You have a huge score right now. I know. I want to crank it up to add on top of that score. Is that ball two or three? That's three. I want a cranky-dud-a.

I have to have the game of my life right now. Don't think so, kid. Hey, I think we're all tied up after this game.

If you count all the Ding Dong games. All the Ding Dong games. Yay! Where did all those points come from? Great question, Lastitude. I think when I wasn't looking, Nick was typing in a code. I got Lady Justice and For Alls. And along with the multiball. So every ramp I got 10 million off of that mode.

Then I got my Doubler's Stake really early. like really, really fast. So I got a long multi-ball save with the snake,

which meant I was rocking those shots. You should try something. Plus a super. And I already had 40, so I really just got like two good multi-balls. Two good multi-balls moved me up to that. Two. Tuba Gooding Jr. Tuba. What was your Tuba Gooding Jr. joke? It was Gooding.

Tuba Gooding Jr. No. Rob. Robert Cuba... No, it was Cuba... Cuba Downing Jr.? Cuba... No, Cuba... Cuba Downing Jr. Wait, what's his name? It's a metallic... Cuba Gooding. Cuba Downing Jr. Oh, yeah, he was shooting the free throws. Yeah. On the ice. All right, here's what we're going to try. Ready? I'm going to click this.

Are you ready for some crazy shit? Yeah. So we're in this... Is this the snowfall? No, we're going to turn this... No, we got to leave that on. Turn this off. Picture in picture. Then, let's see, if we put an image in here. Okay. Let's see. Image. Oh, actually I just put H-I. Where's the image? Image overlay. Okay so now let see jail This looks like a good image Of jail That a terrible 3D jail That's awful. That is a terrible 3D jail. Holy crap. Did you animate that? I wish. Put that here. Okay. Oh god, there it is! So that goes behind you. right so we're going to turn you off okay we're going to scale this to like four no can I make it bigger oh wait that's you scale this up got it okay then turn you back on yeah and then we're going to chroma key you so you stand the greens not green enough you need some light up in this yeah I'll try to catch it here we're let me let me aim this at you you need some light yeah
