Yeah, I used to play a bit.

But that was Team Fortress.

Wasn't hardcore like Reflex.

How did you start gaming?

I was bored and

I had a computer.

I wasn't was very

social as a kid.

I got made fun of.

People thought I was ugly.

That's hard to believe.

Yeah, I don't know.

Team Fortress I

could be a medic.

I could be a soldier.

It brought me power.

I mean, I dominated.

You still play?

No.

I was in a European

league for a while,

but the time zones

and the all-nighters,

they nearly killed me.

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.

(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?
