Augmented-reality Jumanji. Judge Judy and Executioner. Shadow of the Colossus, but with dunks. Tara Long guest stars.

Introduction[]

Nick informs Griffin that he sounds nerdier, which is due to him wearing an Oculus headset like a Hellraiser paintbox. It turns out that Griffin got the headset 20 minutes before recording and he's trying it out.

Talking about last week's game, Nick reveals that the business model for Austin Powers was solid before Griffin brings up that Mike Meyers was not involved in the project. They invite two Mike Meyers onto the Skype call, who act in-character as Austin Powers and are very excited to lend their likeness.

This Episode's Game[]

Shadow of the Colossus with dunks. (submitted by Andy at the beach)

Come on and Slam: An Emotional Magical Johnson Interactive Jam is 90% Shadow of the Colossus, 10% NBA Jam. You play as a small basketball player called Very Magical Johnson, who sets out on his horse, Larrie Byrd, to dunk on all the Colossi - 95-foot tall goalposts, shaped like various animals and covered with moss - to wake up his wife from a coma inside Dick's Sporting Goods. Similar to Shadow of the Colossus, you must figure out various ways to climb onto the goalposts and get closer to their holes. When you dunk on them, the hole lights up with a beautiful pattern. Larrie Byrd can also transform into a bird to assist you in dunking that ball, although he stays stuck as a bird for over 20 minutes once he transforms.

The game is sponsored by Dick's Sporting Goods, from which additional basketballs and specially-modified balls can be purchased with microtransactions. The dynamic soundtrack comes from the Quad City DJs. The game is comprised almost entirely of skins, licenses, assets, and technology from Shadow of the Colossus and the NBA franchises.

When the game gets pitched to Tara Long, it eventually gets transformed into another game altogether. In Tara Long's Basketball Ignoring Simulator, you watch non-moving basketball players wearing jerseys as they sit on lawn chairs, holding basketballs and slowly-draining, non-drinkable glasses of iced tea and lemonade. Microtransactions allow the player to refill the glasses and to turn the breeze down. The previously-mentioned monsters can barely be seen in the far background. This game will be for the Oculus Rift.
