Fitting.

For the big game 50 of the Winter Jackpot, I FINALLY get a Jackbox game! About fucking time! And for the first installment, we check out The Jackbox Party Pack 8!

While Jackbox does have an official Discord, and that I did advertise my stream in there. Did anyone show up to play The Wheel of Enormous Proportions?... no... BUT... I did know a few guys who could show up! For the first time ever, we have a NeedNoMics/Miicord Crew CROSSOVER event! As the guys from... well... Miicord Crew come over to play some Jackbox! When we get started, we're able to ask... not Mr. Wheel but just... the wheel a question. Poor Monika never got a question in. So the idea is that we spin the wheel and we get points based on where it lands. And whoever gets 20 thousand points spins the winner wheel. But first, trivia questions. I wonder how good we are at knowing who fought in World War 1. Do I remember anything from history class? Well after the results I didn't do too bad. Monika was the best with 10 points. Sammy, Baldi, Mita, and I were tied with 9. Sans and Bobby with 7. And Sonic with 6. Next question, knowing which dinosaurs are real. Gosh I wish Ol' Chompers was real. I ended up doing the best with 11 points. Sans with 10, Mita and Sonic with 9, Bobby with 8, Baldi with 6, and Sammy and Monika with 5. Next question this time, we are given 2 James Bond movies and we have to guess which of the 2 were released more recently. And we keep getting this over and over until the time runs out so we can guess as many as we can. Sammy, Baldi, and Mita did the best with 5. I got 4, Sans and Bobby had 3, Monika with 2, and poor ol Sonic with 1. Hah. And now time to spin the wheel! But first, we put our pieces on the wheel. Mita spins first and gets 2000 points. Just for her. Same with Sammy. Sonic spins and we split between him, Sans, Monika, and I. Baldi is next to spin and he, Sammy, and I get points. After that, Sammy has a 423 point lead with 7,923 points. Back to another round of questions. Do we know which celebrities were or are redheads? Baldi got the most with 8. Sonic, Sans and I got 7, Bobby and Sammy with 6, Mita with 5, Monika with 3. Oh yeah I think the way it works is that we get a point for if we get the correct right and wrong answers. Also known as not selecting the wrong answers. And now we have to know how many bones are in an adult hand. Who was the closest?

Baldi with 15. Hey he's a math teacher. Not an anatomy teacher. Sans thought there were 42,069. Then again, I think he's being funny. Next question is about matching musicals to artists. How did we do here? Mita got... 1 and the rest? none. We clearly don't know our musicals. We do know how to spin though. Bobby spins first and gets all 2,245 points. Alright what does Sans get? Nothing. He gives points to Mita, Baldi, and Sammy. As for me, 2000 clean points! Hell yeah! Monika gets... 4,006 points. Of course. And Mita gives over 6,000 points to Baldi. After that, Baldi is now only 465 away from 20 thousand. More trivia! This time, we have to mind read the wheel. As best as we can even though we don't know a single poet. At least we can actually answer the question to what are questions asked in Train's "Drops of Jupiter". Sonic and Sans did the best with 7. Mita with 6, Sammy, Monika, Bobby, and I with 4, Baldi with 3. And now we have to guess how many books Dame Barbara Cartland wrote in her life. Who the hell is she? Apparently she wrote 723 holy fucking piss! Mita was closest with 600. Sans was funny again. More spinning! Sammy first and gives 3,665 points to Monika. Sonic gets points to him, Monika, and Mita. Baldi already has 20 thousand points. Splits points to Sammy and Sonic. Bobby next to spin and lands on the power slice with points to Mita. Who now takes the lead with over 23 thousand points and gets to spin the winner wheel. Does she win? Nope. Skull for her. Alright. Sans to spin. 3000 points for him! Still anyone's game as I spin and split points for me and Bobby. Monika to spin now and lands on the skull. Meaning we all split HER points. Oof. Mita with a chance to spin the winner wheel again and gets the dub this time! GGs! What was her question? "Is pineapple a pizza topping?" apparently the wheel said yes. I say... get the hell out of my life. After the game crashes trying to go back to the game menu, it's time for a job... job... this time we figured to... try to tone down any stress that we only have a few people play this time. What you don't need a full party. Sans, Bobby and I decide to play on. And hey, we actually got someone playing with us? A person that's not me, Mita, or a crew member! Well alright!

So we're all being interviewed and all judging each other. So it's a battle to the death to see who gets the job. In the first round, we have to answer a couple questions. Sounds easy enough. Once that's said and done, we now have to use answers from our fellow competition and shuffle up the words to make a new answer. This is where things will get interesting. First question, a high point of our career. And these answers... uh... well Bobby provides Jack Black with infinite cheesy cheese. And Sans doesn't break cold chocolate milks. Here, Bobby's infinite cheesy cheese was the better answer. Next question, why we left our former job? Sans again with chocolate milk. Never hurt anyone saying he drank it. And I was pretty sure my hero is the lightbulb. Which was the winning answer. Hell yeah! Next up, how we hope to empower our coworkers on a daily basis. It was between... uh... well... our guy Bnooom didn't answer. So Bobby instantly wins with his shit loads of cheese. In terms of employee benefits? Well I instantly win here because Bnooom didn't answer this either oh fuck did they just quit before we even started? Either way, as for current standings? It's very close between me and Bobby. Only a 100 point difference. The next round is... well essentially the same thing. First question, what is the first thing you'd do if we loan to us the time machine? I instantly win this one because Bnooom didn't fucking answer. I guess their answer is my answer now. Next question, the entire office is covered in sand. What to do? I tell you trying to make answers is... honestly really difficult. I said my favorite color has a color alphabet scale. Yeah it makes no fucking sense. Sans had the better answer saying Rihanna is pretty sure he can say the alphabet backwards... under pillow... sure. Either way, the better answer. Next on the board, Frank stole the good chair that spins. DAMMIT FRANK! Well Bobby saying Calligraphy is a dying art form instantly wins. Yeah I just think Bnooom just... gave up... Next question. People noticing us scolling through our ex's new partner's social on company time. Sans said Rihanna keeps his lightbulb under a chocolate cookie because she invented a... that's the end of that answer. Bobby had a completed answer so he wins that round.

Bobby now take s a commanding 20 thousand point lead after this round. Sheesh. For the final round, it's just like the others. However the difference here is that when it comes to rewriting answers, we have statements already started and we have to finish them. As for me, I am fucking corn and I want your mom. Instant winner, Bnooom put in fucking nothing. Sans wants yummy stuff and wants what's yummy. But Bobby takes this round as he is a shadow guy and wants eat mango. Hey it was the better answer. After that, Bobby takes the job! And his starting salary is over $85,000. Damn imagine salaries being that high today? Alright I think we have time for one more game. Sammy, Monika, and Baldi will take part of The Poll Mine! Best of luck to Baldi, he's outmatched. The idea is that all 3 players rank certain things from a list. Such as who'd be best for a TV show about mysteries. Idea is simple, they have to pick the top 3 answers. Team Monika and Sammy have a torch and Team Baldi also has a torch. For every answer they get right, they gain 1 torch and for every wrong answer, it's a loss of a torch. The options here are Karaoke DJ, Hair Stylist, Long Haul Trucker, Poet Laureate, Kindergarten Teacher, Former Child star, Puppeteer, and Queen. Sammy tries for Former Child Star. That was wrong. That was dead last. Baldi was right with Kindergarten Teacher which was 1st. Monika follows with Queen which was 2nd. And Baldi got the 3rd best with Puppeteer. After that, Baldi takes a 3-1 lead. He's running away with it! Next poll, they have to rank their favorite fake British curse words. This time they have to guess which came in 2, 3, and 4. Sammy gets 3rd right away with Sheep. By the way the other choices were Oy, me rubbins?, The Queen's Ballast, Tartless, Tribblewhack, Tesco Fresco, Corm!!, and Crum-Jum. Baldi goes for Tribblewhack. Which was 1st. Not what he wanted. Monika felt good about Oy, me rubbins? Which was 2nd! Monika and Sammy now have a 3-2 lead. But Baldi ties it right back up with Tartless which was 4th. One more round. The best old-school screensaver? Oh hell yeah! Here, they have to find the answers ranked from 8th to 1st. This time, for the final trial the rules are played a little bit differently.

Firstly, teams can't gain torches but they can still lose them. If a team loses their last torch, it's not game over until the other team gets a correct answer. And the round is over when one team loses their torches or finish with the most. Answers here are Ever-Growing Pipes, Walking through maze, flying toasters, morphing cube, fish tank, random picture slideshow, cool wavy lines, and bubbles. I respect Sammy going for the slideshow. And sure enough that was indeed the worst one. Ranked 8th. Baldi tries for the cube but that was incorrect. He now trails by 1. Monika wasn't right with the wavy lines. Both teams with an incorrect guess now, the witch herself gives a free answer. Fish tank was 7. Morphing Cube was 6th which is what Baldi guessed. Sammy gets the wavy lines right at 5. Baldi with Bubbles for 4th, Monika with the 3rd ranked Toasters, wow these teams are on a roll! Baldi has a 50:50 here. Pipes or Maze? He goes for the pipes and... sadly... he was wrong. Therefore, Sammy knows it's the maze which was 2nd and the pipes was 1st. With that, Sammy and Monika win 2-1. Baldi did have competition but wasn't enough at the end. And I think that does it for our showcase of Jackbox 8! Well... after 50 (give or take) new games, we finally get a Jackbox game! And still 8 to check out!

Maybe next time we might get some other people to play with us.
