My gamertag was Mirage.

(tablet beeping)

Thank you, Richard,

components and all.

(phone beeping)

Oh, sh*t.

Speak of the devil.

Hey, guys, guys, listen up.

"Detroit is two weeks away.

"The Midwest Conference.

"Win and you get

a seat in Vegas.

'Lose, and you're

dead in the water.

"There's over a million bucks

at stake, don't blow it."

All right, guys.

We're up against the

Montreal SleepyBoyz.

This is only a scrim.

If we can't wreck these hacks,

we don't stand a

chance in Detroit.

(readout sliding and beeping)

(low thudding)

(readout sliding and beeping)

(guns firing)

[Wayne] Dave, let's

go for their flag.

No, no, no.

The carnage power-up is coming.

We need the damage boost.

[Wayne] Here they come!

Tyler, top left.

(guns firing)

Oh, f***.

He's going for carnage!

Focus him!

(fire roaring)

He's got it!

(guns firing)

(bombs exploding)

Come on.

[Wayne] Steve, incoming!

[Steve] Where is he?

[Wayne] Top Tele!

F***.

(guns firing)

I'm officially tilted.

(mouse dropping))

Are you f***in' kidding me!

[Steve] He's going

to grab the flag!

Get ready to stop

him on the way out!

[Wayne] My God, that

was the easiest Frag!

[Dave] I'm behind him!

Get ready!

[Tyler] Okay, I see him!

Stop him!

[Tyler] Dave, move!

(guns firing)

I'm gonna take the

flag and push into OT.

(bombs exploding)

(keyboard slamming)

You kidding me!

Sh*t.

Was that really us?

You baited me.

Don't bait me!

I didn't bait you.

I got ambushed!

Okay, and Wayne, weren't

you supposed to cover him?

Steve.

Steve!

What happened?

I don't know, man.

I zoned out.

You zoned out.

You zoned out.

Are you serious?

Come on, man!

(headphones dropping)

Unbelievable.

Attitude?

What Attitude?

This is the biggest

convention in the country.

I've done it three

years in a row.

Okay, fine.

Sh*t.

(light pop music)

(growling)

What's wrong?

Venus Water dropped me.

That's crazy.

I'd buy anything from you.

It's Jonathan.

He blacklisted me.

You know, you don't need them.

You collect pictures

of cupcakes?

Only the ones I make.

You made these?

Yeah.

Can, I, can I see?

Can I see?

(light orchestral music)

These are like

really, really good.

[Kate] Thanks.

You could like sell these.

Really?

Yeah.

Yo, we need to talk.

All right, let's say

you're the quarterback.

Ball gets snapped.

Defense is comin'

at you like a wall,

and the wide

receiver's wide open.

But what do you do?

You run right into it.

And then you blast

the entire team

for failing to guard you?

Is that your strat?

Because if it is, it sucks.

Okay, and what's

yours, Dave, huh?

You block me

instead of guard me?

Sh*t, Dave, the team

was all over the field.

Tyler, you don't have

to prove anything to us.

We know you're good.

But so are we.

So, who are we up against?

Outlawz with a Z.

Copenhagen.

Frickin' Europeans.

Thank God it's just a scrim.

(wind rushing)

(readout sliding and beeping)

(ominous orchestral music)

(wind rushing)

(readout sliding and beeping)

All right guys,

let's set up for mid.

(guns firing)

(character exploding)

Nice shot, Wayne.

[Dave] The other

guy's, top RL!

Spamming.

(character crashing)

(guns firing)

Dave, you ready

for this carnage!?

[Dave] Wait.

Don't jump down too early.

We got it.

(guns firing)

[Dave] He's backing.

[Tyler] I'm jumping down!

(guns firing)

[Dave] Carnage is coming up!

[Tyler] Got it!

Follow up!

(keyboard clicking)

(guns firing)

I got the first one!

Taking the flag now.

(alarm beeping)

Two on me!

[Dave] I'm on the flank.

[Tyler] Nice help.

(alarm beeping)

(character exploding)

Got him!

(keyboards clicking)

Oh, nice!

[Wayne] Returning it now.

[Steve] We all know

that was luck, you scrub!

(electricity zapping)

("Now or Never"

by BadBadNotGood)

Yes, yes, yes.

Yeah, yeah

Nah ain't nothing better

I put that on whatever

Youngin' keep that head up

Time to get it now

or never, we gone

(guns firing)

Grime like no other

Shine like no other

You front on

'bout some monies

Then probably get confronted

By some that don't care they

probably ride on your mother

Ride, have you scared to

come outside you on warning

Watch your back, front, left,

right, eyes every corner

Keep your eyes open wide like

your life depending on it

What I pen down

on this paper

Is what we

thought was normal

Jot a few words

to get started

Clear my voice

then go record it

This that midnight

on that corner rap

Hand close to the pharaoh

On your block grim reaper

standing in the shadows, waiting

Waiting, thinking that

your life is for the taking

(bomb exploding)

Nah ain't nothing better

I put that on whatever

Youngin' keep that head up

Time to get it now

or never, we gone

We gone

(guns firing)

(bombs exploding)

Feeling like a lunatic

Kneeling at the crucifix

Patiently waiting to

hear something back

Something from

them skies above

They told me when I

was young he would come

Come take all

these sins away

Come take all my sins today

Yeah that's what

them sinners say

So I wait, 'til I

hear something back

But in the mean

time, in between time

Gotta hustle up a stack

God don't look

just turn your back

Gotta get my hands dirty

if I want this 100 racks

(all cheering)

Yes, yes!

That's what I'm talking about.

That's what I'm talking about.

(laughing)

[Steve] Whoo!

(all growling)

(laughing)

What was the first game

you guys ever played?

First game?

(light electronic music)

Oh, GoldenEye, when I was five.

Mario.

[Tyler] Yes.

Do you guys remember Spore?

[Tyler] Yes.

[Dave] What a piece of sh*t.

I almost went back to Haze.

(laughing)

Dude, Quake.

Mmm, Doom.

Yes, Tomb Raider.

Hey, she's hot.

She's so hot.

Yo, what do you

think Richard played?

[All] Pong!

(laughing)

Yo, why don't we, why don't

we boot up the old stuff

and kick back?

Yo, why not make it a party?

No, no, a retro gaming party.

[Steve] Yeah.

Wayne, send out an Evite!

Mmm, guys, only

two slices left.

[Steve] Sweet.

Sweet games, get f***ed up.

Ah, this is gonna be great.

("Runaway" by FM Attack)

Hey.

Yo, we're gonna

kill it in Detroit.

Tell me, you're so late

On an island to run away

Let your heart spin

[Tyler] You want

a piece of my heart?

(slapping)

(laughing)

Can you feel yesterday

You run away now

Till we know how

You're gonna go now

Just run away now

I forgot about the appetizers

Now, let 'em, let 'em...

(kissing)

To run away.

Jesus, ow.

Easy.

Need some help?

No, I'm okay.

Here's to new beginnings.

For both of us.

No hard feelings?

Yeah.

(upbeat dance music)

[Tyler] What

do you call this?

Control-Alt-Delete.

You know, it's weird, at parties

people always ask me,

"What is it you do?".

The last thing I would

ever say is, "I'm a gamer."

But tonight, we're

all gamers, bro!

(laughing)

(upbeat dance music)

Have you guys seen Kate?

(blowing smoke)
