Surprise Round! - The Bandicoot Method

lol

Idk who 3 hours uninterrupted could be possible for. Every day. That's insane.

Okay I need a ruling. If I choose writing as one of my skills, do I come out of my Bandicoot time with three hours of copy or is my skill level increasing

leave them a book with a hand written note on the title page: “Even a worm will turn.”

Obviously I took the grinch deal, and tbh it’s not that bad. You go through a lot of lint rollers tho

I think the person who wrote the x men doesnt know anything about the x-men. The catch of x-men being real and you being one is that that life is fucking torture

re: coloss-ass has no one watched the absolutely perfect UK series Misfits?

The x men question, they are just describing "The Spleen" from the movie "Mystery Men".

the fabled origins of wife worm.....

God I forgot Saratoga has a little song 😭

Hey I don’t know if anyone from the 2 crew reads these comments but Gary: check out the bloom app I found it while snooping through Reddit personal finance This app teaches you financial literacy and you can start investing - I personally started investing $10 a week You can buy part of stocks, etf, yields & more I’m an accountant in real life & I tend to be very skeptical and wary when recommending financial products & apps to people. Anyway; hope this helps!

As soon as I head farting was my superpower the answer was instantly yes

For the True Grinch just call animal control.

Not me jumping outta my skin at 7:30 am from the intro sound effects at full blast 😵

I just want to also weigh in and say I would buy a hat that said "Or hell, it could be the Grinch himself" SO FAST. I would wear it everyday.

I would do slappies. No hesitation. Either I win, am a champion, and have a bunch of new friends, or I lose and I gave it my all. I personally think slappys is a joke game, that this is them hazing the new guy.

I would KILL for Naddpod Grinch merch, or hell, Surprise Round merch in general

Omg the pocketsss shout out

The way I IMMEDIATELY recognized the Saratoga jingle 😂 Emily Axford is truly the pride of the NY Capital District

Can one use Bleem to emulate the Playstation on a pc and still use the cursed Bandocoot cd?

For the first one, you could maximize your time by playing from 9pm-12am and immediately continue playing 12am-3am. Tackle 2 days in one sesh and then sleep till like 9 or 10 then you don't have to do it again till the next day since you already did today's sesh

Here's why it is $20 - The rental is available from $19.57 per night (to honor the book's original release in 1957

While you’re in Utah staying at the Grinch Cave, pls do a live show in Salt Lake😌🙏🏼.

Sofie Bikes shit

The grinch in the last prompt is definitely an escaped genetic experiment. So you cannot expose the grinch body if you value your life.

Need a powerscaler to tell me if Colos-ass is an Omega level mutant or if they could be

One of my skills for round 1 would be electrical engineering. Be sure that I can create a portable PS1 with a chargeable 4 hour battery, so I can Bandicoot wherever I am Another skill would be the skill to easily find 3 free hours a day

I’m studying for the bar exam right now and the last scenario was great - I treated it like a little essay question on self-defense

When i was 5 I took the tip of a shovel to the face (right above my eye) and it was super gnarly. It cut all the way to my skull. So if slappies is shovels that's a 1 hit ko

also i LOVE the portrait of the lady on fire references

which episode did the love of the grinch begin

I hope greasers become part of the surprise round mythology

The Colos-Ass is 100% The Spleen from Mystery Men

I’ve loved Pocketsss for so long!! I didn’t know that they had a patreon

I just need to know is if the skill learning based on how well I can learn a skill? because if its 3 hours of how much I usually learn then no cuz I take forever to learn skills. if its like sims skill building where it's just time = amount learned then yeah. I'll just play crash bandicoot without a memory card like I used to as a kid, you would think it was the only game I had with how much I would play the same levels every day.

If I were ColossAss I'd just change the way I use my powers. I'd fart into a tank to compress it ahead of time and use it for chemical weaponry, then train in martial arts with an arc at any of the clandestine paragovernmental/criminal/mystic orders Marvel has to offer. I would wear a cloak to cover my ass when not needed but my stealth missions would always be ruined, as the clap of my ass cheeks would alert the guards

this surprise round's spit take occured at the detailing of the Terrible Tooter

Paul Reuben’s in Mystery Men is The Spleen, whose farts make people faint. “Parallel thinking” indeed. 😛

Is peeing an interruption that restarts the clock for crash bandicoot 2?

Don't forget if you an X-man you have the whole societal mutant issue!

Caldwell's deep knowledge of the Grinch Lore is. So funny honestly.

Tattle on Cavill and your The Snitcher

Em wants to be Fart Wolverine 97! “I suck and I’m a little raunchy” He such a tool in the X-Men cartoon.

Jake big brained the crash bandicoot 3hr/day scenario. Absolute killshot.

Become the ultimate handyman! Plumbing, engineering, electric, carpentry, welding

theres a mini portable ps1, i know this cus some guy in grade 9 was playing it in class, it has a disk drive that would absoluty take the cursed copy of crash, and i dont have 3 hours a day anyway so no

I feel like covering your tracks on the last one is so much worse. You have to be better off telling people and having them see what attacked you. If you try and hide it, it will look much more like a straight murder

this ep should have been called wife worms and grinch germs

I would absolutely buy a "or hell, maybe the Grinch himself" hat

If I was ColossAss I would for sure die in the dumbest way possible like getting skewered with a spear up my exposed asshole. no way am i taking it

God I love surprise rounds

In regards to slappies I feel like you guys might need to look up slapping contests on YouTube they're actually like. Unhinged and insane and does not look fun at all

Orange is the new green.

One of the skills has to be curse breaking to at least try and make some wiggle room

“He lives alone.. really confidently” so casually then followed by “oh yeah I guess you’re right.” Emily I love you so much hahahahahaha that killed me.

I'm definitely reporting my killing of the Grinch, the fact that he's a monstrous humanoid creature who came into my home and attacked me means I should be able to get away with self defense, and the stunning implications of the Grinch being real might be significant enough that the specifics of my killing of him isn't really the main focus. And I need answers on Grinch physiology that can only be obtained if his body is studied

My friend who is a doctor says she would not consider a germ a Grinch. Metaphorically only.

I didn’t expect Jake to go full Tony Soprano on that last one

put ‘I’m the wife of the party and wife is good’ on my gravestone

im way too attached to the greasers and must defend my honor

Funny how The Boys just had a "hero" who farted webs from his extra anus recently.

*hard look in the mirror* “you ARE the wife of the party, and wife IS good”

I think the first one has a definitive answer, use it to become good at streaming, and use that skill to stream you playing the game

I would definitely buy a "or hell... could be the grinch" shirr

One Grinch Bed?

Loose? Like granola or change?

Obsessed with the idea of cryptid investigators and now I need to see y'all play a one shot that's like a procedural of like Mothman and Bigfoot trying to investigate who killed a Chupacabra or something. It would be a great excuse to play something in Monster of the Week.

Respectfully when emily said she wanted to make one of her skills “hot” I just wanted to yell to the universe “but Emily you’ve already logged your 10,000 hours in HOT!”

In the ColossAss world, do you look like the Spleen from Mystery Men?

Oh I’m loving the intro

"I think, for me, the fantasy of X-Men is that kind of like...communal living" followed by an earnest, inspirational-in-itself dream of being inspirational as the Colossass. E Ax is the GOAT

Germ Carrey

Saw the grinch at a festival I went to a few weeks ago, he was drinking an Oberon

Question is, does the enchanted disk itself wear out like a normal disk would?

Grinch is Jason VanHoorees and Crash is Freddy Kruger

For the xmen question, there is a character from morrisons new xmen called dummy who is literally sentient gas. His gas form has to be contained in a latex suit and when it gets ripped open the characters make a fart joke. Side note, you should definitely read new xmen because it’s full of characters who’s powers kind of suck.

Also as someone from upstate New York I immediately knew what Emily was singing

Putting it out there that I would buy that Grinch hat

I wonder if Caldwell plays dark and darker?

i desperately need to know if y'all have heard of the movie Osmosis Jones.. truly the germ equivalent of a universe within a snowflake

The bike riders was a good movie. It was filmed in my home town of Cincinnati

I have stayed in the grinch's cave as a bit and it was deeply unsettling

I would do anything Henry Cavill asked. I would not even hesitate. My loyalties rest with him. If it went sideways, I'd feign innocence and convince everyone else it was an accident. I'd then say he was there because he's going through some stuff and just wanted to be involved, and he needs support, not anger. And everyone would believe me because I have a physical disability so they always think I'm beyond pure. In case it's not obvious, I'm joking. I'd never use my disability for something like this. Using it to get people to open doors for me even though I can do it? Hell yeah. Using it to cover up a crime? Not unless it was my mother and she was justified.

cyclops blasphemy https://youtu.be/DxQ1uvm9cmk?si=PU_tC48Iy15nToX1

ColossAss sounds like an AU Deadpool

When i got married. PlayStation ran a billboard campaign: PlayStation: It’s Like A Dozen Roses for Him. So, my new wife got me a PS1 and Crash Bandicoot 2. I don’t know about 3 hours at s time, but I certainly logged my fair share of hours (especially on some of the bonus rooms where it took you all the way to the beginning of the room rather than a checkpoint). 25 years later my wife still says she can hear Crash dying and me muttering expletives at 1am. No skill increases and I probably did become s little dumber, but boy did I love that game. The game sounds and phrases are still a part of my vocabulary.

Love the show, love this episode...but if I send you a Goosebumps will there be more 8 bit book club?! PS hate the show never listened to it

Hey Murph, I just finished Lies of P. Definitely my favorite game from the past few years. What was your favorite area/boss? What was the hardest boss for you?

I don't really care about being an xmen but I think colossass would be more fun if their whole butt is showing rather than like. just their asshole (what i originally pictured) because then it can be styled. its like assless chaps. turn it into fashion

at first I was saying no to the crash bandicoot one because I feel like that requirement would just make me anxious even though its totally feasible for me, but after talking about how you'd beat it like day 2 I'm in because I'm autistic and I love to just do stuff over and over again. I'd just learn every possible thing about the game and crash bandicoot would become my new special interest. I think being multilingual would be my money making version of this cause jobs do look for bi/multilingual employees

Woo

Hugh-bristic 🥴

The Sarasota jingle reminds me of the song Andy Warhol by David Bowie.

I used to play PS1 games on my PC via an emulator + the actual disc. So just get a disc drive on a laptop and you're all good.

So another parrelel thinking moment. In the 1999 movie Mystery Men Which is a campy superhero movie Paul Ruben plays a character called Spleen with fart powers he just doesn't expose his butthole

Subquestion for the crash bandicoot = skills. Are you allowed to swap out your skills if you think you've reached a good enough level at them?

Instead of Colossass, can I sell you on Skunky Brewster?

Put some respect on his mf name: https://mysterymen.fandom.com/wiki/The_Spleen

First skill: Sleep Mastery. I can nap in 20 minutes what used to take hours. I can use that time to make sure my 3 hours happen. Boom.

Hear me out! For the first question! If you make the first skill being good at twitch streaming and the second skill speed running that 3 hours of crash bandicoot pays for itself. Daily streams of speed running and just go until you create a world record so good noone can top it. Meanwhile you set your three other skills investing, money management and photosynthesis. You stream for like 5 years and then retire a beloved content creator. Just tell your fans you've peaked and you're moving on. You lose all the skills but leave behind a legacy and financial stability.

just in time to listen to during work!!!

Thank god this popped up for the last couple hours of my shift Thanks Jelk!

Calling it now, this is the no-grinch episode EDIT: It’s guddam Christmas in July

LFG (let’s fucking grinch)
