Gungey Gaming Gameshow - Episode #1

Welcome everybody, to the first episode of Mog Anarchy's GUNGEY GAMING GAMESHOW - where gamers compete in gaming-related quizzes and challenges in a hope of avoiding getting gunged!

Today's contestant is... me. D'oh!

The rules are simple - the Gungey Gameshow consists of three rounds and a final GUNGE ROUND - in order to avoid facing the gunge, you must complete TWO out of the three rounds satisfactorily. Simple, right? Ha, just you wait.



(The blog below is full of photos! To fit them all in, I had to make them smaller - to see a full-size version, simply click on 'em!)

Round #1

In our first round, you have ONE MINUTE to draw a picture of the icon of Nintendo gaming: Mario. The catch? You have to splat your face into a plateful of paint and use your NOSE as a paintbrush! This is going to get messy...

Personally, I think I did pretty well - at first glance, it may not look that much like Mario - but if you take in account the face I drew it with my FACE in a MINUTE - it's not bad at all! I also didn't get as much paint on my face as I expected - I just got a black nose like my cat Jet.

Round #2

In our second round, we have a general knowledge question for you about The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. In front of you are three tubs filled to the brim with lovely, sloppy gunge. You will notice their lids are marked with pictures of the three Spiritual Stones. You must gunge yourself in the order of which you receive these items!

This was a first for me, I've never gunged myself before. I've always had somebody standing over me with a bucket - I've never been in charge of doing it myself. My word, it's nerve-racking. You know what's going to happen, but at the same time, you're apprehensive about doing it! Each of these tubs could hold 2 litres - and each was filled right to the brim with gunge! Anyway, I knew the order, the Kokiri's Emerald, the Goron's Ruby and the Zora's Sapphire - or GREEN, RED, BLUE - so I doused myself with six litres of gunge... gooey green, runny red and bubbly blue... Yuck!

Round #3

In our third and final round, you have ONE MINUTE to sing the entire "Still Alive" song from Portal. Once you are finished, you must slam your face into the lovely foam pie on the table in front of you.

Now as you know, Still Alive is a song that haunts me - thanks to a previous gunging I had... but - we all have to face our demons one day. I ACED this round - I rambled through the lyrics with time to spare! Before I face-planted in the pie, I made sure to take off my glasses... it's a good thing too - I hit the table so hard, I bumped my nose! I also held my face in the pie for a while... I was a little embarrassed about raising my head, because I knew I'd look super silly. I'm surprised at how long I could hold my breath!

Gunge Round

It's not fair! Even though I DID pass 2/3 of the rounds - I still got gunged anyway!

Yup, I was made to get on my knees in the already messy paddling pool, raise up my head and get absolutely covered in 12 litres of thick, gloopy, sticky bright yellow gunge...

All of the gunge used in this video, I got from an awesome UK retailer GungeSupplies.com - it's HEC gunge, made to a thick consistency. HEC is slightly different to natrosol, as it feels a lot thicker, gloopier and stickier. It's also a lot less slippery underfoot and cleans up a lot easier!

Unboxing: Arcade Block August 2016

It's time for my tenth monthly Arcade Block!

As I've previously explained; for a fee of $20 CANADIAN per month, Arcade Block will send you a lovely box of gaming merchandise, including a T-shirt. Shipping costs vary, depending on where you live, and larger T-shirt sizes cost a few $ extra - overall, my boxes including shipping, work out at about £24.

This one was shipped on the 25th of July and arrived on the 5th of September - neither Shelly or I was in, so I had it redelivered on the 10th. Ugh.

Unboxing: 2015 Super Mario McDonald's Happy Meal Toys

Guess what I've got to unbox this time? :)

I believe it was around August 2015 that these toys were in McDonald's in the UK - I wanted to go to my local one and order 8 Happy Meals, a mix and match of hamburgers and chicken nuggets - ask if I could have one of each toy - then have a banquet with Shelly and Ash. But sadly it wasn't meant to be. Instead I found a complete set of the toys on eBay for a fraction of what the actual Happy Meals would have cost - and I didn't have to consume a vast amount of calories in the process.

So as part of this set, we had a Yoshi, a Luigi, a Princess Peach and four different Mario toys. There was also a Mario hat style visor which I stupidly forgot to include in my unboxing video. D'oh.

Regardless, I had a lot of fun unboxing this set of toys and having a play around with them:

1980s Nintendo Stickers, Scratchcards & 34 YEAR OLD BUBBLEGUM

While trawling eBay for some new stuff for my UNBOXING videos - I stumbled upon a few packs of these Nintendo scratchcard and sticker packs from 1989 and 1982, respectively.

Both packs come with stickers and scratchcards, and the 1982 Donkey Kong pack came with a stick of 34 YEAR OLD BUBBLEGUM. All three packs are older than I am. :)

Judging by the copyright information and the ingredients of the bubblegum (*cough* corn syrup *cough*), these packs are clearly from the US - possibly sold in the UK at some point, as there was quite a few listings in ££££s. You could also get a pack with Link from The Legend of Zelda on the front, but that one was about 5 times more expensive than the Mario and Peach packs. I believe the 1982 packs were only available in the Donkey Kong variety, rather than the general Nintendo/NES variety.

The packs I opened contained stickers and scratchcards from Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, Punch-Out!!, Double Dragon Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2.

The bubblegum seemed to have started to disintegrate somewhat, does anybody know what the hell these brown speckles are?

And if you want to see me opening the packaging and EATING THE 34 YEAR OLD BUBBLEGUM, because I'm fucking stupid - here's a video:




For any fans of the British unboxer Ashens, he once ate a piece of 25-year-old bubblegum. I ate the whole stick of 34-year-old bubblegum. :)
