My wife once said she thought she could give me a run for my money on CTR because she was “alright at Mario Kart”… she never made that claim, or played CTR again.
Playing a now dead MMO, i was known within our guild for ninja pulling (pulling before the tank, kinda like the leeroy thing) since i wanted to beat the other damage dealers on dps meter, got to the point that our tank started the fight while still doing the count down for starting the encounter. good old times.
“The greater good, the greater good.” I’ve seen that, she doesn’t want to roll around in the mud with the rest of them when it comes to being competitive, but she gets down there and get dirty on occasion. That look she gave Dave when he won the crown, though. She hasn’t watched Lord of the Rings yet, but that face definitely had an air of, “In place of a dark lord you would have a Queen!”
Rosie is super fun, I love her positivity. IF she doesn't have something positive to say about a game she'll invent new words to say something positive about it. lol
I love how Rosie feels guilt for crushing an empty can but Rob is fine with destroying a young lads dream, if Jay moves to New Zealand we all know who to blame.
What do you mean? Rob destroying Jay at fifa is what caused Jay to become a fifa pro himself, he even destroyed Nathan, his own dad, on one of their earlier streams at fifa, and now Jay has become another Rob.
One can argue one wins in life if they do what they enjoy and enjoy what they do. If you play games to win to a point it stops being fun, you lose where it matters. If you play games just to have fun regardles if you ''win'' or ''lose'', you win where it matters. Playing games with friends or others is not supposed to make you feel sad, worthless, angry or upset. You lose the moment you feel this way. I play to have fun. Winning can be fun, but so can losing, with the right company. Having a small child win against me, and seeing their pure joy on their faces, that is worth more to me then being better at the game. Kids dont need to learn harsh lessons. They have plenty of time to learn these as they grow up. Let children be children. Our time as being one is to short as it is.
Cant wait to see those streams of Rob trying to beat Ash's score, also i think Rob's love of quoting Lotr probably convinced his friends to move to NZ, definitely wasn't to get as far away from Rob as humanly possible.
Robs friends are all in New Zealand, is that why he's always doing Lord of the rings impressions? Trying to be close to them in whatever way possible 😂😂
I actually had a similar experience to Rob. At university the lads in my drama class had a fifa tournament and it was all a casual relaxed affair. Until one of the lads started beating everyone else in a shall we say ungracious way (loud exclamation and arsery). He had beaten everyone else except me (second best at the time) and as we played Man City vs Chelsea, the room fell silent, everyone cheering me on without a noise…. I lost 1-0 in the 87th minute. I let myself down, I let my friends down, but most of all, I let God down
I have a similar experience but with a board game called Go. Except now I'm banned from playing at home because I beat everyone and my friends have stopped playing with me too, so I can only play it on an app or computer or against someone unsuspecting that I've talked into playing with me. But my friends, while they won't play with me, will happily lure new people over to play against me, give them tips if they don't know the game or something and then just enjoy it when I annihilate them, so they're just as bad as me.
My favorite highly competitive moment in PlayStation access history. in one of the Christmas mazes the 39.14 and it looked like rob was going to win but Rosie pulls the win at the late second and she stands up and shouts “ YESSSSSS!!!!! EAT IT ROBERT S PEARSON “
Rosie, be honest with yourself. 39.14 will live on in infamy with how passionate and competitive you were. Nothing, absolutely nothing could beat that. The enormous roar of success, the dismal look on Rob’s face, the howling laughter of Dave and Ash in the other room. That is the definition of competitiveness.
I'm not generally competitive, but once as a teenager I was staying over at a friend's (his brother's uni flat). We ended up playing 'Tekken Tag Tournament', winner stays on, with me, my friend, his bro and his flatmate. I hadn't played that specific game, but I failed to mention that I had played all three 'Tekken' games on PS1, to the point of muscle memory. Safe to say 'winner stay on' turned into 'someone beat David'.
Ash's time COUNTS - it is clearly stated that "you can't come back to it later" ...fair enough... but she NEVER LEFT and as such is the rightful champion!
I remember introducing kingdom hearts to my friend when the ps4 versions had come out, I loved it since ps2 and he came to love it on ps4. In kingdom hearts 2 at the start there are these mini games. There's a skateboarding one where you have to deliver papers to people and it times you. This game doesn't have online leaderboards so we just sort of incited this competition ourselves somehow. We used the ps4 screenshot feature. He got a fast time and shared it, probably not intending anything competitive. I sent one back shortly after, beating it. You see where this went. It became a competition that took weeks to end, we were booting up kingdom hearts 2 just to play that one mini game that didn't even have a leaderboard or anything. ... ... I mean, I won obviously!
While my tale is not quite as destructive as Rob, it almost got me in trouble in my internship. During my internship, me and 9 others would work on campus during the morning - web development internship at a company that partnered with our uni to give the first opportunity to some students - and carry on with our regular studies at afternoon and the evenings after. Well, there was always a one hour lunch break after the internship, so we played web browser games to kill time. One of those games was puzzle/platformer game called Exit Path where you had to avoid traps and complete the level as fast as possible. Me and one other classmate quickly became WAY faster than anyone else, and began seriously competing for the fastest time. At first, it was during lunch break... then it was during the early classes... then during work. All while trying to avoid getting caught. It nearly happened at work sometimes - got caught by one person who mostly found it funny and didn't report it - and happened during class a couple times. Sadly, it ended when I set my best full playthrough time at 3.19 and my friend at 3.17... I couldn't beat him, and that was over 10 years ago and I haven't fully recovered yet.
This was one of the best videos y'all have put out. Comedic, banter with a sprinkle of a little banter 😂. AND NATH WAS EVEN MENTIONED ON IT! Ahh he us still with us in spirit lol great vid y'all
My brother challenged me to MK11. I didn't have a Switch at the time and didn't have any MK games...I picked Scorpion because when I worked in a call center that was my main on Injustice. By brother was so certain he'd beat me...until the fifth time he lost. All with different characters. He got one round on me with Sub-Zero, but I won the next two rounds and beat him in that match. He didn't ask if I had been playing any fighting games. He asked specifically if I had played MK recently (last time I played MK at that moment was a rented copy of Mortal Kombat: Deception back in 2003). He asked me how I was so good when I hadn't played in years. I told him two things he didn't realize. Scorpion's move set hasn't changed that much since MK made it to Playstation...and I mained Scorpion in Injustice at work. I constantly played against one person who always beat me...except for one time.
I completely agree with Rob. You can't just LET them win. The win must be real and earned for it to have any value. It otherwise creates an artificial sense of self worth which is too easily shattered and may never recover.
I agree to an extent, but I think some graceful teaching should be involved there. I want someone who is a fun challenge to play, & I’m willing to help them become that now. As a kid? Heck no. 😅
The first time me and my brother got our hands on Carmageddon 2 (we both loved Carmageddon) my brother got to the level with The Big Dump. One of those giant trucks they use in quarries and such. In Carmageddon 2 you could buy every vehicle. To my brothers shock The Big Dump was also buyable. But it was ridiculously expensive, no way you'd have that much money with regular play. If I remember right it was 8 million. My brother was annoyed but played on. I was a few tracks behind him and discovered that the stat increase power ups could be maxed out to some degree based on your level. If that happened each one would earn you 50.000. So I spend a couple of days playing the same level over and over until I had 8 million and could buy the thing. My brother was very annoyed.
I was just like Rob on World Snooker Championship 2009 for ps3. I played my brother, and both of us having grown up with Snooker and watched it since we were 6 years old knew how to play like professionals. So we played, and I beat him easily, think it was 10 frames to 4. At that time he was struggling to beat the computer despite having a positional aid for where the white ball would end up after each shot. After we played he never lost another tournament, his rise in standard of play was phenomenal, he says playing me was the best thing he ever did on that game, because after that his brain started working better. He'd been very good at other snooker games before it was like a mental block that he had, I unlocked his true potential, at that time I was winning regularly online, out of 110 games I lost 4 times legit, a few disconnects, and win just over 100 games so I was an excellent player, hence why I went online because the AI just couldn't get anywhere near me so I needed to challenge myself. Almost overnight something clicked and he became a totally different player, hardened up by getting slaughtered by me, on purpose, no remorse, no sympathy at all, I can totally understand where Rob is coming from.
I don't get competitive very often, since I mostly play single player, but I guess the one time I did get very competitive, was when I was trying to be the developer time trials on CTR. Initially I jumped into them thinking 'I don't expect to beat these any time soon, I'll just be happy with improvement'. By the end of it, I had gotten so competitive that beating the times was not enough. I had to crush them, and I even ended up revisiting some of the tracks I beat earlier to improve upon them.
I am Geoff and I can confirm he was in my face. I also have photos of 2 games we played a year later when I beat him 1-0 with a Michael Carrick screamer and then beat his master league team 5-0!
Rule #42 of the handbook clearly states..."if any participant is a no-show, rage quits or forfeits a match, the opposition automatically wins 3-0." I hear by declare Robert "Too Competitive" Pearson, the Ultime PES Champion 🏆
I've had 2 games where I got very competitive, 1 was playing Liars Dice in RDR online, where I had gotten to the top rank on the leaderbaord and held it for over a year, there were several other players who were trying to get to the top spot, all were cheating either by playing against themselves using a 2nd PS3 or by leaving the game the moment they were confirmed to have lost, this would glitch the game and they wouldn't get a loss on their record. But this constant having to play upwards of 50 games a day in order to try to maintain a lead over players I knew were cheating took the fun out of the game for me so I eventually just stopped playing and then went to NFS The Run where I proceeded to go through 9 dual shock controllers in a year.
Rosie's only competition is herself. Rob has given a whole new meaning to "he's learning." Ash-tro's Playroom took the office by storm. David 'got good' Jackson is just chill. ...and Rob's friends retreated to the Shire rather than face his football prowess.
Rob, my most competitive also came out in a similar situation. A Fifa tournament among the dorm residents at The University at Buffalo. I was playing as The U.S.A., my friend Argentina. In a match against him, I got point blank shot after point blank shot and his keeper somehow made the save EVERY time! I got so frustrated that I actually gave him a bit of a whack across the back of the head. .. not my best moment.
@@NUFC_Adam I don’t have a specific one on onesie in mind, but I’m sure if we look back, something will pop up. I watched the best of (worst of) one on onesie vid today, and the worst I saw from Dave was a few minor bleeped out words, so I’ll keep digging. It just seems like when the original three would play against each other, that they could bring out the worst in each other. Including Dave, who does have a level of calm not exhibited by any other Access member.
I remember the first time my friend and I had played smash bros brawl… I had been pretty good with Kirby or Luigi and I usually won.. keeping in mind we were both still new at the game… but then my friend picked some guy with a sword (Marth) who I didn’t rlly know much about yet at the time. I carried on my usual ways, but what’s this?? My hits aren’t landing anymore.. he’s destroying me now.. I was SURE I hit him that time 🤔 I excused myself to the bathroom where I stood there thinking.. he’s not THAT good at dodging.. it’s almost as if I’m being punished every time I land a hit--- omg it’s a counter! I came back from the bathroom and I was right 😌 counter this! I said… and my victories continued once again.. the nerve
Rob, I'm with you on that, except it was FIFA. My friend TwoShoes and I used to play each other and it was always very close, he'd win a few & then I would. We arranged a FIFA tournament brought a few mediocre people in and charged everyone a fiver to play. Winner takes the pot, knowing it would come down to me & TwoShoes. I beat him buy scoring the most sweatiest cut back goal ever & screamed the house down.
Hi, totally unrelated to the Tuesday Checklist but I think this may be an interesting topic to discuss? Like we all know how much Rob adores water graphics, and geaphics get a lot of attention in the gaming community but there is another part of game design that kinda gets ignored and overshadowed. I've been remembering how good the sound design is in Horizon: Forbidden West. Like just the audio feedback when you hit certain parts of a machine and like footsteps on sand, snow, metal, etc and stuff. We can talk about gaming music and the jaw dropping moments it can induce and just make a scene memorable. But like the sound designers deserve more love cause they add so much to the game without it being obvious. It's a subtle art that adds so much to the experience! What are your'alls favorite sound design choices?
I really didn't love Alien: Isolation, but one thing I did appreciate was how even the sound and sight of the automatic lights flickering on was just...mmmm, very nice 👌😌 Honestly, I could see myself going in and out of a room just to get those lights going on again.
im not a competitive person. my ideology is, that i either win by luck or beating someone thats worse than me. i dont see anything honourable in either.
When it comes to video games I'm absolutely not competitive, not even against the game itself. But when it comes to board games and the like I am like Rob with FIFA. I once was with some colleagues at one of their homes, one brought her five year old daughter, we were playing some reflex game where you had to make a rotating plane jump over your hurdles and once all of your hurdles had been hit and thrown off the board you had lost. All colleagues already were out, it was just me and the little girl, each with one hurdle left. That battle must have lasted for 15 minutes. Lol And she then lost. Well, at least I then pretended like I was some kind of champion at that game and she my most worthy opponent. In the end she didn't even seem upset about it. Not so sure about my colleagues though.
One time i was playing Mario party 4 i think it was on the GameCube with my sisters and friends. I told my teammate what to do to get to the star and he decided he wanted to do something else for some reason what end up in the other team getting the star. I was screaming and talking so loud, that my father came rushing into the room to ask what is going on. It ended up in shutting the game down and doing something else untill i calmed down. I have broken controllers and screamed at the tv back in the old days when i was alone a lot of times, but that was the only time i got way too competitive in a game lol
I remember Nath bringing his son to the access office playing Fifa or something or I'm having a Mandela effect lol Also remember him doing some segments in access. Time flies.
I must admit..... I have indeed been too competitive in gaming. My family and I have been playing Mario Kart together since my son was 3 years old. He has spent a rather large amount of time playing on his own, just so that he could beat me....... Last time we all sat down and played, I realized that he was putting up quite the challenge. Needless to say, I leaned forward for a +5 to concentration and put in my best just to defeat him.... I left him distraught in his inability to beat me, and he hasn't asked to play since.
This makes me want to play Astro Bot again. Such a brilliant game. Edit: How do you guys feel about this eFootball shenanigans? As a long time PES fan, it's gutting to not have a ML going.
My ex never played MK11 or any Mortal Kombat game. So when we went to my friends house to hang out with him and his now wife, I showed no mercy and got a brutality against her. Then afterwards everyone was trying to actually beat me but the controller never left my hands for a couple of hours
Now come on, you must have gotten too competitive at some point too! Tell us your stories!
Please, it’d be so great if you uploaded that picture of Ash with the best Astro speedrun time
My wife once said she thought she could give me a run for my money on CTR because she was “alright at Mario Kart”… she never made that claim, or played CTR again.
Sekiro ishin ashina took me a month to finally get him, I even had my wife record the finishing blow.
Almost every game of apex legends
Playing a now dead MMO, i was known within our guild for ninja pulling (pulling before the tank, kinda like the leeroy thing) since i wanted to beat the other damage dealers on dps meter, got to the point that our tank started the fight while still doing the count down for starting the encounter. good old times.
Rob is a true competitor and I love it. He pops off when he’s winning and shows no mercy to kids. Almost brings a tear to my eye
Almost... but not even near as close as for those childs. Rob feast with tears of the children
Rosie’s ongoing denial of her own competitiveness for any other reason than the greater good is truly a sight to behold
“The greater good, the greater good.” I’ve seen that, she doesn’t want to roll around in the mud with the rest of them when it comes to being competitive, but she gets down there and get dirty on occasion. That look she gave Dave when he won the crown, though. She hasn’t watched Lord of the Rings yet, but that face definitely had an air of, “In place of a dark lord you would have a Queen!”
I'm sure I can remember Rosie screaming EAT IT ROBERT S PEARSON!! during a challenge once. Maybe I'm thinking of a different Rosie.
Rosie is super fun, I love her positivity. IF she doesn't have something positive to say about a game she'll invent new words to say something positive about it. lol
@@phatman9762 she is quite limber when it comes to verbal gymnastics.
@@Jambobist might be a variant.
I love how Rosie feels guilt for crushing an empty can but Rob is fine with destroying a young lads dream, if Jay moves to New Zealand we all know who to blame.
What do you mean? Rob destroying Jay at fifa is what caused Jay to become a fifa pro himself, he even destroyed Nathan, his own dad, on one of their earlier streams at fifa, and now Jay has become another Rob.
This is what I love about this channel. You really get the feeling that they are actually all good friends. It's very wholesome.
Rob taught Jay a harsh but valuable lesson: play to win - at everything. Be humble in victory and equally gracious in defeat, but always play to win.
It was depressing to hear they never came back... Rob just chadded them so hard
One can argue one wins in life if they do what they enjoy and enjoy what they do. If you play games to win to a point it stops being fun, you lose where it matters. If you play games just to have fun regardles if you ''win'' or ''lose'', you win where it matters. Playing games with friends or others is not supposed to make you feel sad, worthless, angry or upset. You lose the moment you feel this way. I play to have fun. Winning can be fun, but so can losing, with the right company. Having a small child win against me, and seeing their pure joy on their faces, that is worth more to me then being better at the game. Kids dont need to learn harsh lessons. They have plenty of time to learn these as they grow up. Let children be children. Our time as being one is to short as it is.
Petition to bring Jay on the channel to challenge Rob to a rematch. This shall be his redemption arc.
Jay has been training with Gary Fist the entire time. “The day of reckoning is upon you, Robert S. Pearson!”
Love hearing the BuddyGames shoutout. That charity stream was a lot of fun!
And also, “39.14!” Remains the greatest moment in Access history.
Ash could easily be a videogame character herself.
This is maybe my favourite ever Tuesday checklist, channel doesn’t feel forced ever just so natural. Love it. Rob you are a monster.
No he's Doctor Frankenstein cause he created the monster, Jay Ditum is the new Rob Pearson at Uni.
I absolutely love how we're referring to it as 'when i did the 39.14' , it's that iconic
it warms my heart when Nath is still somehow involved with the gang, even if we dont see him anymore.. also love to see that Rob vs Jay grudge match!
“No its my friends who are wrong” that’s the winners mind set lol
Cant wait to see those streams of Rob trying to beat Ash's score, also i think Rob's love of quoting Lotr probably convinced his friends to move to NZ, definitely wasn't to get as far away from Rob as humanly possible.

Just to let you guys know - my soul is yet to return to my body after you mentioned me on the Elden Ring stream. “JORDO BABYYYY!”
I love how "Rob beats a far inferior player at soccer videogame, 4-0" happens twice on this list.
I'm not generally competitive, but once as a teenager I was staying over at a friend's (his brother's uni flat). We ended up playing 'Tekken Tag Tournament', winner stays on, with me, my friend, his bro and his flatmate.
I hadn't played that specific game, but I failed to mention that I had played all three 'Tekken' games on PS1, to the point of muscle memory. Safe to say 'winner stay on' turned into 'someone beat David'.

It just reminds me of those loud few in my family.
You know the ones..
I can see Rob nodding in agreement with the classic Chapelle’s show sketch where Dave plays a terminally ill child in Street Hoops 😂
It's not even surprising that Rob would destroy young child in Fifa and wouldn't let him win.
Maaaaan, that had to be the greatest BBQ party 🤣
I would have laughed at the party lol

Astros playroom was so much fun and I love get the platinum trophy
This was Hilarious! Those 2 Rob stories have now been cemented in Access Lore lol
This was so entertaining I wish I could like it twice. Rob, never stop being you.
Rob's friends being in New Zealand (or Hobbiton as Dave put it haha) explains the frequent Gollum and Gandalf impressions then heehee.
I love Ash's entries - so poetic!
Imagine if Rob had done it with Crystal Palace, he would have been even louder!
Really enjoyed Rob's, Ash's and Dave's examples
need more stories like this Dave lol
Rob is so good that he sent all of his friends away to New Zealand lol!
I love that you guys got competitive with one another over Astro on a video in which you are confessing your moments of being over competitive.
Literally, my most favourite Tuesday Checklist.😂

Rule #42 of the handbook clearly states..."if any participant is a no-show, rage quits or forfeits a match, the opposition automatically wins 3-0."
I hear by declare Robert "Too Competitive" Pearson, the Ultime PES Champion 🏆
20 minute video? Hell yeah!
The Tuesday Checklist is the best part of every Wednesday going towards Thursday.
And then it's almost Friday again for the feature! :D
"He may have had a cry...in the car..." lmao!!!!
I've had 2 games where I got very competitive, 1 was playing Liars Dice in RDR online, where I had gotten to the top rank on the leaderbaord and held it for over a year, there were several other players who were trying to get to the top spot, all were cheating either by playing against themselves using a 2nd PS3 or by leaving the game the moment they were confirmed to have lost, this would glitch the game and they wouldn't get a loss on their record. But this constant having to play upwards of 50 games a day in order to try to maintain a lead over players I knew were cheating took the fun out of the game for me so I eventually just stopped playing and then went to NFS The Run where I proceeded to go through 9 dual shock controllers in a year.
Lmao Dave’s entry was hilarious, but also did not surprise me at all
Best Tuesday checklist in a long time :D
Rosie's only competition is herself.
Rob has given a whole new meaning to "he's learning."
Ash-tro's Playroom took the office by storm.
David 'got good' Jackson is just chill.
...and Rob's friends retreated to the Shire rather than face his football prowess.
'I am going to explode, Ashley' hahahaha, by far, my favourite moment ever! #4 on onesie
These videos always brighten my mood after a long day at work :D
Rob, my most competitive also came out in a similar situation. A Fifa tournament among the dorm residents at The University at Buffalo.
I was playing as The U.S.A., my friend Argentina. In a match against him, I got point blank shot after point blank shot and his keeper somehow made the save EVERY time! I got so frustrated that I actually gave him a bit of a whack across the back of the head.
.. not my best moment.
To be fair, Rosie crushing an empty can is pretty intense for her
Opens with old school PES, likes video immediately
Jay played Rocket League as Niels, and every one of those goals he scored, he was shouting “Now who’s learning?! You son-of-a…”
Can you remember which video that was? Would love to watch that video again but can never find it.
@@NUFC_Adam I don’t have a specific one on onesie in mind, but I’m sure if we look back, something will pop up. I watched the best of (worst of) one on onesie vid today, and the worst I saw from Dave was a few minor bleeped out words, so I’ll keep digging. It just seems like when the original three would play against each other, that they could bring out the worst in each other. Including Dave, who does have a level of calm not exhibited by any other Access member.
I’m pretty sure me and my friends get competitive when we all play Gang Beasts together. Those are fun times
I remember the first time my friend and I had played smash bros brawl… I had been pretty good with Kirby or Luigi and I usually won.. keeping in mind we were both still new at the game… but then my friend picked some guy with a sword (Marth) who I didn’t rlly know much about yet at the time. I carried on my usual ways, but what’s this?? My hits aren’t landing anymore.. he’s destroying me now.. I was SURE I hit him that time 🤔 I excused myself to the bathroom where I stood there thinking.. he’s not THAT good at dodging.. it’s almost as if I’m being punished every time I land a hit--- omg it’s a counter! I came back from the bathroom and I was right 😌 counter this! I said… and my victories continued once again.. the nerve
I'll go first, because that's what winners do - Robert Pearson 2022
Rob and Jay should have a rematch live
Rob, I'm with you on that, except it was FIFA. My friend TwoShoes and I used to play each other and it was always very close, he'd win a few & then I would. We arranged a FIFA tournament brought a few mediocre people in and charged everyone a fiver to play. Winner takes the pot, knowing it would come down to me & TwoShoes. I beat him buy scoring the most sweatiest cut back goal ever & screamed the house down.
Hi, totally unrelated to the Tuesday Checklist but I think this may be an interesting topic to discuss?
Like we all know how much Rob adores water graphics, and geaphics get a lot of attention in the gaming community but there is another part of game design that kinda gets ignored and overshadowed.
I've been remembering how good the sound design is in Horizon: Forbidden West. Like just the audio feedback when you hit certain parts of a machine and like footsteps on sand, snow, metal, etc and stuff. We can talk about gaming music and the jaw dropping moments it can induce and just make a scene memorable. But like the sound designers deserve more love cause they add so much to the game without it being obvious. It's a subtle art that adds so much to the experience!
What are your'alls favorite sound design choices?
I really didn't love Alien: Isolation, but one thing I did appreciate was how even the sound and sight of the automatic lights flickering on was just...mmmm, very nice 👌😌
Honestly, I could see myself going in and out of a room just to get those lights going on again.
If Rob and Ash ever fight for the crown then it 100% now has to be astro's playroom
Call Rob crushing a small child in a game is hilarious
Jay vs Rob: Rematch!
LOVE this! I need friends as addicted to gaming as you guys. LOL!
im not a competitive person. my ideology is, that i either win by luck or beating someone thats worse than me. i dont see anything honourable in either.
When it comes to video games I'm absolutely not competitive, not even against the game itself. But when it comes to board games and the like I am like Rob with FIFA. I once was with some colleagues at one of their homes, one brought her five year old daughter, we were playing some reflex game where you had to make a rotating plane jump over your hurdles and once all of your hurdles had been hit and thrown off the board you had lost. All colleagues already were out, it was just me and the little girl, each with one hurdle left. That battle must have lasted for 15 minutes. Lol And she then lost. Well, at least I then pretended like I was some kind of champion at that game and she my most worthy opponent. In the end she didn't even seem upset about it. Not so sure about my colleagues though.
Woof that’s pretty brutal Rob. Maybe that’s why the CTR defeats at EGX were so sobering
I didn't think Rob reputation could get any worse...well, I was wrong!🤣
Love Rosie's cute goofball energy on this one
One time i was playing Mario party 4 i think it was on the GameCube with my sisters and friends. I told my teammate what to do to get to the star and he decided he wanted to do something else for some reason what end up in the other team getting the star. I was screaming and talking so loud, that my father came rushing into the room to ask what is going on. It ended up in shutting the game down and doing something else untill i calmed down. I have broken controllers and screamed at the tv back in the old days when i was alone a lot of times, but that was the only time i got way too competitive in a game lol
Rosie's was such a humblebrag 😅
Oh my god I can’t even count how many times I ran those time trials until I was close to beating the top scores haha
We out here in New Zealand.
I'll bet damn near anything I'm the most southern subscriber in the world you have ✌️
Where abouts are you bro? Im pretty far south these days!! 😅
I remember Nath bringing his son to the access office playing Fifa or something or I'm having a Mandela effect lol
Also remember him doing some segments in access. Time flies.
I miss Nath
I missed the Nathan Snake moment in Rosie's confession. :D
I must admit..... I have indeed been too competitive in gaming. My family and I have been playing Mario Kart together since my son was 3 years old. He has spent a rather large amount of time playing on his own, just so that he could beat me....... Last time we all sat down and played, I realized that he was putting up quite the challenge. Needless to say, I leaned forward for a +5 to concentration and put in my best just to defeat him.... I left him distraught in his inability to beat me, and he hasn't asked to play since.
Really enjoyed this one, guys!
This makes me want to play Astro Bot again. Such a brilliant game.
Edit: How do you guys feel about this eFootball shenanigans? As a long time PES fan, it's gutting to not have a ML going.
Rob's a menace!
His name is Jeff!
I'm REALLY competitive when i play Rocket League and i have to say this: STAY IN GOAL NEXT TIME ONE OF YOU hahaha
Oh god. I love the Rob stories
My ex never played MK11 or any Mortal Kombat game. So when we went to my friends house to hang out with him and his now wife, I showed no mercy and got a brutality against her. Then afterwards everyone was trying to actually beat me but the controller never left my hands for a couple of hours
Time for a roadtrip to NZ Rob.
Come on Rob, beat that record!
Ash plowing away on Astro's pairs nicely with her getting all those "cheap and nasty platinums". Rosie- she's coming for you!
