- Hey y'alls, Scott here. What are we sinning today? I am pretty hungry. Lust. I should get more into eating food, I heard people love that stuff. The issue is, I don't know how to cook. And that's a problem, with
Thanksgiving around the corner. What am I going to do if
I can't cook, be thankful? Thankfully, I have an escape route, there happens to be a Nintendo DS game that has all the answers. What am I doing here? This
isn't personal trainer math. The Nintendo DS era,
when uncles were reborn. Your non-video game playing family members finally had something
to do with their lives. While Nintendo did a lot to
satiate the core audiences with the platform, they wanted to expand, give the rest of the population
who didn't play video games what they wanted, world
peace and 100 Classic Books. They introduced the
Touch Generations label, used on games meant for
geriatrics patients. These games were meant to be enjoyed and understandable to nearly
anybody and everybody. While some were definitely
still video games, others were more so applications, educational tools, self-help software. They snuck in a few
video-gamey video games under this label, like Elite Beat Agents. Oh (beep), Grandma would
totally understand this. But most Touch Generations
games were on the level of, Brain Age, Big Brain
Academy, Crosswords DS. While the proud to be a gamer demographics wants these titles to burn in hell, I find them to be incredibly important. They brought in the gaming demographic and made way for
applications of this nature on more accessible
devices, like smartphones and Personal Trainer:
Walking invented exercise. It's just interesting to see video games that aren't video games
for a video game console. 100 Classic Books doesn't
even have an ESRB age rating. Looks like I'm reading
the kids Othello tonight. But what does have a rating,
Personal Trainer: Cooking, a cookbook for the Nintendo DS. Now this is a game. See, 100 Classic Books
doesn't have an age rating because they're books, old
unedited public domain classics, like Huck Finn. Personal Trainer: Cooking is
basically just a cookbook, but it has alcohol references. So it's rated E for Everyone. So, overall 100 Classic
Books is more appropriate for all ages. Ever actually read Huck Finn? Gourmet made easy, so
easy you need to buy a DS to make mac and cheese. The DS chef talks you through
international recipes. They got the DS chef in on this? That tears it, I'm ready. I'm going to wear this
chef's hat like it's 2027 and we're gonna make history
and to a lesser extent, food. (clicking) Oh Jesus, what if I put in the wrong game? - [Nintendo DS] Welcome to
Personal Trainer: Cooking. - Oh thank Christ. - [Nintendo DS] Before we go any further, please adjust my voice
to the speed you like. - Slow down there. - [Nintendo DS] Is this
a good speed for you? - I have very slow ears. - [Nintendo DS] You're ready
to start cooking tasty dishes from all over the world. - Adjusting talk speed is all it takes? It is a cookbook, so I've got
to check the settings first. Kitchen timer's included. I own a kitchen, a DS, a will
to cook, but not a timer. You can exclude certain ingredients based on dietary restrictions,
which is pretty handy. According to my religion,
stomach and opinion, I can't eat food. So it's good I can
exclude certain recipes. There's a built-in shopping list for when you're gathering ingredients with a calculator included. Anybody ever used Personal
Trainer: Cooking on an exam? There's basically an index of info here. This is pretty much a crash
course in what's edible. There's even quick videos
showcasing how to gut a fish, like this one, where they gut a fish. This is going to be an insane turkey. Now let's hop into the recipes where they give us a
step-by-step procedure on how to use a spoon. Oh my God. There's a lot of stuff here. All different kinds of food from all different kinds of countries. But what do I want to prepare here? New England clam chowder? (beep) it, that's kind of funny. Okay, select a saucepan
of an appropriate size for the number of servings
you will be preparing. All I had was a milk jug. Okay, so here's all the
ingredients I'm gonna need. Lucky for me, I already own food, I don't need to buy ingredients. Sure, I only have two of
the list of ingredients but I can make this work. First up, canned clams. And two thirds of a small onion. Thank God that's the only portion I had. All right, I think we're ready to move on to the actual cooking portion. The game offers light voice recognition where you can scream at
it to continue, repeat or go to the last step
of your instructions. It honestly works pretty well for a Nintendo DS game from 2008. And it helps that you don't
have to get your messy hands on DS as you're working and you can just focus on the clams. First step. - [Nintendo DS] Drain
the clams with a sieve. - The sieve was never on the ingredients. Can I substitute it with clams? Let's cut the onion,
cleanup cutting utensils, substitute carrots with
clams, potatoes with clams, bacon with clams. And now it's time to cook. I didn't mean to get salmonella this year. May as well try another one. Oh (beep), they got goulash in this? Dammit, it uses onions, I already used my whole
two-thirds onion already. Now, you know what they say? If you can't make goulash, give up. They got a mac and cheese recipe here. That's my favorite side
dish in any Thanksgiving, next to pretzels. I have to try though. Chop the cheddar, boil the macaroni. I realized I was using a saucepan
and sieve as a cup holder, so lucky break there. Make the sauce, don't let it brown. Is green okay? Season with salt and pepper,
mix everything together. I don't have macaroni noodles, so I'm just gonna use thick spaghetti. Voila, macaroni and cheese, Ohioan style. - [Nintendo DS] Nice work. (celebratory music coming out DS) - Oh, we get achievements. You're goddam right, I
made mac and cheese today. I can pretty much make anything now, we're going to increase the difficulty. Chicken pot pie. (Thomas the Tank Engine theme) You can't fit chicken in that! Dammit, this is an empanada. (timer dings) Oh! My rotisserie chicken's done. Gotta feed everybody in quick. - Oh boy, food and plates? - Oh yeah, I haven't eaten
all of the month of November to prepare for this. - Happy Thanksgiving. (chicken thuds on wall) - What is this? - It's a gourd, bitch. - What's in the crock pot? - Cereal. - You know what, I think I might go out for Thanksgiving this year. - There's this new place
downtown called Stale Pretzels. - Oh, what do they have? - I don't know. - Guys, I busted my
ass making all of this. The least you can do is eat everything. And here directly in front of you, you will see a failure. Personal Trainer: Cooking is a sham. It doesn't even compete with the (beep) pretzel
restaurant down the street. - Best Thanksgiving ever. - These pretzels are actually stale, I don't know how they do it. - Even I can't cook these. While you can in fact,
follow the instructions and get a good understanding
of how to effectively cook, the voice recognition kind of blows. I know I said it was impressive
for a DS game in 2008 but my God, it kept on
picking up the clangs on my silverware as me
telling it to continue or repeat the instructions. (cooking ware banging) (Nintendo DS talking indistinctly) (cooking ware banging) (cooking ware crashing) Which is why I will give
this infamous excuse for poor video game performance
towards my cooking ability. Why did my meals turn out bad? It was the controller, not me! (video game music playing)
Congrats, your post is the one that got pinned :)
This is just like the trial episode in that it's just joke after joke and I can't catch a break. V good episode.
That joke about Huckleberry Finn at 2:03 was hilarious
I liked the part where he references Future Scott.
I love how Rex and Jeb were just on the kitchen, doing absolutely nothing until Scott appeared
Videos like this show that Scott actually cares about making stuff related to topics he likes or topics that make concepts for fun videos instead of doing stuff that he knows is going to have millions of views and make him more money, and we should be really thankful for that
"Have you read Huck Finn?"
Wozniak, Scott The, the man who still refuses to redeem his N-Word pass. Truly the most honourable among us.
Seriously though, old books had ton of racist words.
His filthy stove and burners/drip trays are nasty. :(
“It’s a gourd, bitch.”
