Cloud NINE!

Yes. Another Jackbox game. This time, number 9. This is now 6 of these games in 25 days. Mr. Wheel is really getting into them! This pack would definitely have some very interesting and quite enjoyable games!

Starting with, Roomerang. One of only a few in the Jackbox series that needs 4 players to play. Now typically when we do these tournaments (oh yeah the miicord crew is back by the way), we typically have 2 games with 3 players and 1 with 2 players. So as a compromise, I volunteered to be the dummy player while Mita, Sammy, and Sans were actually fighting for a championship round spot. So I guess the purpose of the game is to get the others to like you based on what you say. We get points based on our winning answers but lose points if we're eliminated. Round 1 is about introductions. What do our eyes say about us? We had some good answers but Mita simply telling the group she loves us gets the most traction. I guess we all have to love the internet's girlfriend right? Because she had the winning answer, she was safe from elimination. Which is why this game suddenly becomes survivor as we vote who to kick off. To no surprise, I was given the boot simply because I was the dummy. However and this is where things get interesting, when you're voted out, it's not game over for you. You come back as... an alter ego of yourself in the next round. In this case, I was now Sgt. V. Round 2 is about connections. What is the best part about sharing a tent? Mita shared with me, Sammy shared with Mita, Sans shared with Sammy, and I shared with Sans. Not confusing at all but we did agree when Sans has a flat as a pancake tentmate, there is plenty of extra bed to sleep on. Once again I am given the boot because I am the fucking dummy. Thanks I feel special. XD! Now I'm back as Li'l V. Round 3 is a quickie! If we wear anything but clothes, what do we wear? And this time we don't know who said what. Not until the very end after the voting. I'm happy the majority agreed a bed sheet (what I said) is a suitable option. I mean it works right? I don't know why Sans would want to wear ketchup. Unless he wanted to bring a lot of French fries. And because I won the round, I get to choose who goes out. So it won't be me this time! HUZZAH! XD! Sorry Sammy. You're out. She comes back as... SiMMY. Round 4 is a firestarter. When did we become permanently pissed off at someone? I guess Sammy isn't a huge K-Pop fan. The more you know huh?

Sans and I actually ended up tying here. I said Mita tried to throw a fridge at me... no really. And Sans knows that Sammy drinks soda flat. Now that is a crime. Because Sans and I tied, the host just chose me to be the winner. Hah. Suck it Sans. Mita and I have immunity from elimination from this round. So it's only between Sans and Sammy to be outed. Poor Sans was thrown off the train. At least SeNS comes in to fill in the spot. And in comes the final round. 3 words to describe our house time. Sammy definitely... had more than 3 words. This time we choose who we think should win and who shouldn't. When the final scores were calculated, Sans was declared the winner! They really liked his house spaghetti! And Sans will once again go to the championship round! But first, time for some Junktopia. And here we actually get... for once in our lives some extra joiners that are not me or the Miicord Crew! Now this should make shit fun! Sonic, Monika, and I are still fighting for a championship round spot. So this wizard dude fuck has turned us into frogs. But is offering to turn us back based on how good we are at selling antiques. No we REALLY need to sell them. Even if we have to go... an extra mile so we can make a profit. First, it's time to buy some shit. Some more expensive than other shit. We do have an option to try to get a deal on the shit we want to buy. No guarantee though that we'll get the deal. High risk, high reward. The first step is to name our shit and then give that shit a little description. We can either use what the game suggests or make our own. When that is said and done, it's time to present our shit and I am first to do so with my Seat-Alatrific. I don't know I put a bunch of letters together that sounded like they go together. It's a chair. Misterfiregu or as I'll refer to as fire presents their... ULTIMATE survival mask. Hey if it has emergency beans? Yeah I'm fucking buying. Anarchypuddi... or Puddi as I'll refer to presents John Way Gacy... oh gosh... and his puppet. It's real SPOOKY I'll say. And Sonic has some... masterpiece or whatever. I mean it's worse than shit that's for sure. Lastly, Monika presents her bootleg Grimace plush. It almost kind of does look like a dollar store Grimace. And at least it doesn't kill poor innocent people.

I only got a 600 dollar profit on my chair. Booooo. Hey I still did better than Sonic who got a whopping NOTHING. XD! Monika really hit it out of the park with her bootleg Grimace. Because of that, she was in first after round 1. In round 2, there's a mystery item we can buy. It can either be really good... or really shit. It's the same stuff after that as Monika presents her... royalty slipper. It's a dirty muddy ass heel. Oh no sorry it's royal wet dirt. So different. Fire presents their... battery ram for ants... ok. Yeah I actually have nothing. XD! Puddi has their Elvis Presley Snow globe collection. I guess that single 1 is the whole collection from my understanding. And then I have my grander of grand drink device. It's one of those trick drink container thingies that has a secret poison compartment so your enemy doesn't realize it because you're drinking the real drink. And then Sonic has a plastic baby doll. What fun. I'm surprised it even got any money out of it. But Puddi just DESTROYED this competition with the snow globe collection. Monika was still hanging on to 1st place by 80 bucks. One final round. Now we take our items and give them a good pairing name. Puddi and Fire actually ended up having the best pair names while Monika still got some dough out of her pair. Leaving Sonic and I in the dust. Puddi actually ended up coming out on top here and was made back into a human... who then wanted to be a duck... shit I guess we missed some fine print. XD! Because Monika did better than Sonic and I, she was moving on to the championship round. Up next is a battle between Baldi and Bobby in some Fibbage 4. You know the idea it's a fucking game about lying. Puddi and Fire also join in. Bobby is first to pick a category and chooses "What's cooking?". Oh boy who fucked up in their BYU dorm room? Glad he didn't try to make fireworks. That just calls for a pure arrest. Bobby's mac and cheese at least sounded yummy. But rocket fuel was the right answer here. Okay cool also why? Fire picks a category now and chooses... or... has "Life Goals" chosen for them. Toko wasn't happy with who he was and wanted to blow 15 grand so he could become a... Collie... what the fuck is a Collie? I don't know... maybe other than Fire's Wolf lie? I wouldn't want to become any of the options that were there.

This game... at least to us is the first to have a Fibbage fan fact! This one featuring Izzet from Leesburg, Virginia! Back in his Turkish home village, he saw someone treated for a snake bite by using... well not sacred rituals. Thank goodness. But... chicken anuses... WHY??? WHY CAN YOU USE A CHICKEN ANUS TO ABSORB SNAKE VENOM? And then what about the poor chicken? Oh PETA is not going to be happ-oh wait I don't fucking care. XD! But hey, the man who was bit did indeed live and is still alive... at least by the time Jackbox 9 was made! HUZZAH! Round 2 is a go. Double the points, double the fun! And Puddi wants a question about festivities! Zurich has a spring holiday known as Sechselauten. Which sounds like... sexy loiton. Which I can see why Free Milkshakes, Twerk Contest, Skinny DIpping, and Bikini Dancing were answers. AND YET AN EXPLODING SNOWMAN WAS THE FUCKING TRUTH! XD! How about a question about a VIP? Very interesting person? We need to know what Azealia Banks thought Grimes smelled like in 2019. Baldi for once in his life fools Bobby with his "Cold Hard Cash" lie. Which actually wasn't too far off from the truth which was "A roll of nickels". I mean is that not cold hard cash? Speaking of Baldi, he picks Olympic events as the next category. This is a 2 blank to fill in prompt. Ooooh! So why did American bobsledder Johnny Quinn get pissed at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Funny enough how 2 of the answers are "Ice in his underwear" and "Snow in his underwear". Great minds think alike. However Mr. Quinn got pissed because he was trapped in his bathroom. Sorry... what so the bathroom got locked from the inside? Yeah I'm not going to question it. We're just going to move to the final round. This one we have to write 1 answer for 2 prompts. Oh boy things get serious here. We have to find what Paul Newman gave Jake Gyllenhall while knowing what James Bond is notable for in "007 New York". Both Puddi and Baldi got double deceptions with their lies. Turns our Paul Newman gave his buddy Jake a driving lesson. Sorry how old was Jake here? And 007 New York is about James Bond's... scrambled eggs recipe. Sounds... delicious? Yeah Puddi just destroyed the fucking competition here.

In fact Puddi and Fire came in 1st and 2nd. Baldi was 3rd with just over 10 thousand points. But it was enough... even if he came in 3rd, to move to the championship round! So we have Sans, Monika, and Baldi fighting in Quixort forever! A spinoff game to Quixort. A game about sorting. You're given prompts and a series of blocks and you have to figure out where those things go in order on a line. This is also a game... at least this version of the game where you can play as 1 player. So the way we determine the ultimate winner here is simply seeing who got the highest score. I hope Sans understands the pH scale. Guess bleach wasn't nearly as acidic as Sans thought it was. Because Sans had no streaks here, all his blocks become crystalized and become obstacles for his next prompt. So you could say this game also has a very Tetris feel... kind of. Sans next prompt was social media sites from oldest to newest. Okay yeah this should be easier. Unless you never fucking heard of Livejournal or Friendster. Sans did get a streak which helped his pile... a... smidge... Now we do watch a little of the Simpsons. Do we know the characters by age? Well even if Sans did, his pile got too high to the point where the game just stopped. Ending his run at just under 10 thousand points. Monika knew what she had to do. If only we listened to more Weird Al. I mean we know some of his songs but holy hell I guess he made a lot more than he thought. I guess Maximum Heat would be easier right? I mean they're just temperatures... okay they weren't JUST temperatures. The heat was described through objects like a clothes iron and boiling water. Even a Xerox printer which was the coolest still gets to 90. Damn that is hot. Now we don't really read Time Magazine so figuring out people of the year was a little confusing. Was it first person was better than the last person? I guess it actually meant what years they were person of the year... who the hell declared putin the person of the year? No really. 2 streaks helped Monika reduce her pile a good amount. So now it's about food trends. This is where Monika's pile got too high. I guess if you leave a block right on the top most middle, that's when your run ends. Damn and she only needed 1 more block to fully finish the round. Despite that, she still finished with over 16 thousand points!

Baldi was the last to go. Does he know when Disney movies came out? Well? He did know that Bambi came before Cinderella. Hell he was even spot on for the placements of Snow White, Little Memaid, and Tangled. Though doesn't seem like getting the exact placements gets you an advantage. Only if you get a streak. Now none of us really listen to Lady Gaga. Can't really blame Baldi here. This was pure guessing. Sad when the only Lady Gaga song we knew here was "Bad Romance". Baldi is still surviving as now he has to know the size of Coastlines for countries. Oh you know... basic every day info. Baldi did get another 2 streak with Mexico and the UK. But his pile was so high by the time he got to movies by box office gross. Yeah he wasn't going to last long here. With a score of just under 12 thousand, Monika takes the cake this session! GGs! This was fun! Jackbox 9 genuinely has some good games! I'm absolutely sure we'll be returning to at least some of these games here. I mean I do have all the Jackbox party packs. It would be a waste not to return to them. I'm especially sure the Miicord Crew will want to do more of these tournament styled streams. More battles for more crowns!

And probably more battles for more broken hearts!
