In this episode, DJ attempts to play multiple games that we were assured he had played before but he still manages to be really bad at and all of our good ideas about entertaining game play go out of the window. We discuss the many, many superhero movies coming out in 2016, what we’re excited about and what we’re really worried about. Also covered are video games, Yasiin Bey, the Royal Rumble, and a lot of failed segues. 

 Hail to the King, Baby

At some point, we’ll get it right…

Like really long. I’ve been following the exploits of Burnie Burns & Co. and the growth of the company into something beyond just making funny videos online for almost half of my life. That’s a pretty deep commitment. You’d think they would have proposed by now.

In 1977, a signal was received. It is the only recorded incident of alien contact. The source of the transmission has never been revealed… until now…

• Woodward and Burnie-stein?

Right off the bat we see the sci-fi action comedy set in the real world with hard, timely issues regarding America’s great conspiracies. I feel like they missed a beat with this one. No “Real Moon Landing Footage”, no “Obama Birth Video”, no “Global Warming is actually Australia forgetting to close the window while the air is on.” for shame.

But we get a good look at the secret government agency that knows about the aliens, has a plan for the aliens, and is going to de-alien any aliens that alien around the Earth. Alien.

• The Team…of Lazers

Three looks at are team of regular idiots as they progress into world-saving idiots.

From what they’ve talked about, they weren’t supposed to have the suit, and now the DETIA (which from what I can tell is something like Defense Extraterrestrial Intelligence Agency) are stuck with them as the suit’s operators. Shenanigans ensue, allegedly.

• Cool Guys Don’t Look At Explosions

It actually looks to me like Colton Dunn’s character (Herman) is taking a break from all the dumb. Ignoring the problems of the rest of his teammates Woody and Zach (Gavin Free and Michael Jones, respectively) and being a cool guy.

As we clearly see from this scene earlier in the trailer as Burnie Burns’ character (Hagan) falls helplessly onto the hood of that car. Herman still stands, smoking, cool guy-ing.

I’m really looking forward to the team dynamic they pull together. The four-man comedy movie is nothing new (see: Ghostbusters, Hangover 1/2/3, Hot Tub Time Machine 1/2, Anchorman 1/2, Bridesmaids, a whole damn lot of other movies 1/2/3) but it works because you can get vastly contrasting characters moving towards the same goal, hilariously. This doesn’t look to break that form.

• X-Ray Cliché

Aside from the obvious problems that X-RAYS DON’T WORK LIKE THIS!, I found it interesting that advanced military technology has a beer goggles setting.

Sensor overload indeed.

• Danger Face

All in all, it looks to be a fun time. Sci-fi comedy is something these guys have been doing well for 10 years, so I don’t expect them to have forgotten what that looks like. Lazer Team, a great first feature effort and, most refreshingly, an original idea for a comedy. What did you think? Let us in the comments!

Undertaker (DJ) vs. Dusty Rhodes (Kasey)

European Championship

Ladders

Sgt. Slaughter (DJ) vs. Hulk Hogan (Kasey)

Special Exhibition Match

Tables. Ladders. Chairs.

Uncle Sam (DJ) vs. Abe Lincoln (Kasey)

Because you deserve it. Because you asked for it. Because we needed it.

Because. America.

DJ and Michael play Double Dragon Neon. It is turbo awesome. Seriously, the Wikipedia gameplay synopsis is amazing.

Some excerpts:

     ...rescue Marian from the Shadow Warriors gang, this time led by the super-lich Skullmageddon... 

     ...an outer-space fighting dojo, an Oriental-themed countryside, a genetics lab, and a graveyard...

     ...The player can collect life-replenishing sodas, money to buy items from shops, and special mixtapes... 

     ...tape's maximum capacity can be increased further by visiting a "Tapesmith" and paying him Mythril...

     ...both Billy and Jimmy can utilize a special "high-five" technique...

DJ as Billy Lee (the blond one)

Michael as Jimmy Lee (the brunet one)

Kasey as guest commentator (a.k.a. our girlfriend Marian)

Also, I googled Skullmageddon and this picture came up:

So that happened.

We still just dick around and aren’t actually reviewing the game. We’re professionals.

DJ and Kasey play Resident Evil 6. They are just as bad as you’d imagine.

DJ as Leon

Kasey as Helena

Because neither of them seemed to understand the controls:

DJ and Kasey play WWE2K14.

Hell In A Cell: HB-Gay (very creative DJ) vs. Stone Cold (Kasey knows he missed out on an opportunity for Stone Cold Fox). This should have been posted like 2 months ago, but y’know. Stuff and things.

DJ as Shawn Michaels

Kasey as “Stone Cold” Steve Austin

Merry Christmas!

DJ, Kasey, and Joey play Tiger Woods PGA Tour ’09. I’m gonna keep using the title of the game because I don’t know what I’m doing. Also, I’m posting all of the episodes for this because they’re a bit short and its only one match.

DJ as Vijay Singh because he is violently multi-racial

Kasey as Paul Casey because it has his name in it.

Joey as Rory McIlroy because McIlroy is a beast.

Michael as the guest commentator

Part I

Part II

I show up in this episode.

Part III

DJ, Michael, and Joey play Rainbow Six: Vegas, and boy are we awful. Tactical pacing is not for our fast paced go get-em attitudes, but we learn some special lessons about teamwork.

This episode was recorded live at DIZeLAN Frag Center in Azusa, California. Some noises you hear in the background are other patrons being rowdy over Halo 4 and League of Legends matches.

DJ as the guy on the left

Michael as the guy on the right, then on the left. (usually dead and spectating)

Joey as the second guy on the right.

Used this character  image cause its pretty much what this video is all about.
