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!

Ash's Birthday Cards: Character Collage

This is a somewhat different birthday card designed by Ash - for my 20th birthday she presented me with a card that featured a collage of some of my favourite games characters.

From left to right: 

Link (The Legend of Zelda), Leon (Resident Evil), Wario (Mario/Wario series), Mona (Wario Ware Inc.), Jimmy Hopkins (Bully), The Prince (Katamari), K.K. Slider (Animal Crossing), Subject Delta (Bioshock), Princess Peach (Mario series) and Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII) - complete with the cake from Portal as the often-included birthday cake. :)

I laminated the card and blu-tacked it up on my wall. :)

Portal: Still A-Slimed!

It may come as no surprise to regular readers, but I like to put myself into embarrassing situations for the amusement of my fans. After all, it was only the other month I was eating 34-year old bubblegum.

I'm a big fan of Portal. I'm also a fan of getting messy for fun. Thus, it seemed only a logical choice to combine the two for my latest silly video project I like to call: 

Portal: Still A-Slimed!

So, my challenge was to see if I could sing the "Still Alive" theme to Portal while being doused in slime the signature Portal colours; blue and orange. Did I manage it? See for yourself:



Yup, that was very messy, wasn't it? That was approximately 24 litres of goop dumped over me there. :)

Here's some snapshots, exclusive for my lovely blog readers:

For those of you who are interested in getting slimed yourself or sliming somebody else, I got the packets of slime mix from a great UK site: messysupplies.com - the slime I used was of the natrosol variety, thick consistency. You can choose whatever colours you like - mine were fluorescent blue and fluorescent orange.

A few hints for those of you wishing to get slimed - wear a bathing costume underneath your clothes. It made cleanup so much easier. Also, slime is stupidly slippery; I literally had to crawl out of the pool onto a towel because I couldn't stand up.

I also recommend you keep some clean water and a towel on standby to wipe your eyes and face if you need to. Also, old towels are ideal to prevent slipping everywhere. I also wore an old pair of glasses. They cleaned up well, but it was just an extra precaution. :)

What did the slime feel like?
Surprisingly heavy, to be honest. Also, it was warm, as the directions said to mix it with warm water. I've been slimed with cold slime before; and I have to say I prefer it warm. It's far more pleasant.

About an inch of slime in the pool :)

What did the slime taste like?
Slightly soapy, but nothing too unpleasant.

The force of the orange slime almost knocked my glasses off!

Does it sting if it goes in eyes/ears/nose?
In my eyes, yes it did a little bit. But not as bad as shampoo. Up my nose, it just felt like really thick bogies. I didn't get any in my ears, so I can't comment on that.

Old towels are a godsend

How did we clean it up? 
Well, because the slime was so thick, I was able to scoop 3/4 of it back into the buckets. Then it was a matter of sluicing down myself, the buckets and the pool. The slime was easily diluted down with water while Shelly washed my hair and rinsed out the clothes I was wearing.

Would you get slimed again?
Hell yes. :)
