Chuck and James review: Mount Your Friends

Transcript

00:00James, come on, get in here. It's time to play Mount Your Friends.

00:24I'm ready, let's play!

00:26Oh no.

00:27You ready?

00:30We're actually playing on the Xbox, James, not in live action this time.

00:35Oh, well, I guess I better go change.

00:37Yeah, I think you better.

00:40Hey, what's up? It is Chuck the Freak and, of course, James.

00:55Hello.

00:56I'm Dave and Chuck the Freak and we are Two Guys, One Video Game.

01:01The game we're reviewing this time is actually a suggestion from a listener who emailed us at DaveAndChuckTheFreak at WRF.com.

01:06And we're going to review Mount Your Friends.

01:09So what Mount Your Friends is, it's like a super cheap download that you can get on Xbox Marketplace.

01:16It costs us what, like a buck?

01:17Like a dollar.

01:18It's like a dollar.

01:19It's like an indie game.

01:20I think it's just been developed by one dude.

01:23Yeah.

01:24The game's been out for a little while, but it's brand new to us.

01:26Yeah.

01:27We never heard of it until the email came in.

01:28Right.

01:29It's like homoerotic Jenga.

01:30Yeah.

01:31That's what it is.

01:32And instead of wooden pieces, you're playing as poorly designed, graphically, human men.

01:41Swinging targets.

01:42Swinging, your arms swinging.

01:44You almost look like one of those sock things at a grand opening at a car dealership.

01:47Yes.

01:48The opening music to the title screen that says Mount Your Friends.

01:51Yeah.

01:52A sports-like simulation.

01:54Yeah.

01:55It's funny.

01:56You can tell the guy who made the game is very funny.

01:57He's got a great sense of humor.

01:59You know, the music is like you're dancing at a nightclub.

02:02And then once you start playing the game, I feel like the background music is like something

02:07you'd hear in a dramatic scene during, like, Lord of the Rings or Jurassic Park.

02:11Like, it's intense.

02:12It is intense.

02:13Like, you know, once you start the game, it is on.

02:15Yeah.

02:16What surprised me is how badly I wanted to win this game.

02:20How badly I wanted to Mount James repeatedly over and over and over again.

02:26And I'm dealing with that issue not just in the video game, but also in real life.

02:29So, I'm used to it.

02:30That's fine.

02:31Like, the one complaint I have about the game is controls.

02:33Controls are real wacky.

02:34You literally use these buttons and your joystick to control which limbs go where and that

02:39kind of stuff.

02:40So, it's hard sometimes to maneuver your character.

02:42I guess maybe that's part of the challenge.

02:44It's not a game you're going to buy because you're going to invest hours and hours of your

02:47day playing.

02:48This is more of a party game.

02:49You invite some people over.

02:51You have some fun.

02:52And instead of, you know, getting under the influence and watching Labyrinth on Netflix

02:56for the hundredth time, you play by your friends.

02:58It really reminds me of Sega Genesis, kind of.

03:01Yeah.

03:02But all in all, we had a pretty good time playing the game.

03:05All right.

03:06That wraps up another edition of Two Guys, One Video Game.

03:10I'm Chuck the Freak.

03:11He's James.
