MatPat's Game Lab

What happens when you train gamers to pull off the moves you see in Mirror's Edge? The OFFICIAL first episode of Game Lab! For this episode, I asked a professional parkour trainer to show me and some friends from Smosh Games and The Warp Zone how to execute some of the incredible moves from Mirror's Edge. While our trainer is literally defying the laws of physics and the rest of us are literally falling all over the place in the training room AND on the real streets of Los Angeles, YOU'LL be learning about the mechanics of real-world parkour and how Mirror's Edge stacks up IRL

When I wanted to bring Rocket League into the real world, I thought I would have to invent a new sport, but it turns out that REAL CAR SOCCER already exists and it’s AWESOME! In this episode of Game Lab I took along CaptainSparklez in my quest to master real-life Rocket League. I’m pretty sure we almost killed each other a few times out there on the track, but we walked away with an incredible appreciation for professional drivers, some pretty sweet trick-stunts of our own, and two utterly destroyed cars!

This is one of the most intense experiences I’ve ever had! Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes may seem like an all-in-good-fun kind of game, but let me tell you, taking it into the real world is a whole different story. For this episode, I brought in The Game Grumps and Lasercorn from Smosh Games to learn the ins and outs of identifying and defusing bombs from members of the LA bomb squad. Then we suited up in real (and REALLY heavy) bomb armor to defuse actual bombs on our own and see who gets blown up first! It’s team Grumps vs. Team MatterCorn – who survives??
