Experience BIJ - This is Only a Test 546 - 4/9/20

We take a detour to the 24th century this episode as the gang suits up to play a game of Star Trek: The Next Generation VHS tabletop game! But first, we discuss the launch of Quibi, shifts in the MCU release timeline, the new PlayStation controller, and Google Stadia going free. Stick around for the second half of the show when we try to take back the Enterprise from the Klingon Kavok!

Thanks for watching!

Sorry about Kavok being slightly out of sync. That whole game made me panic - I'm sure we broke a few rules. All's fair in retaking the Enterprise.

Pity the "VHS" audio sync for us was way off, but this was a fantastic special.

[james]

Loved this episode but the audio is so off during gameplay it gets confusing 🤣

[Tareltonlives]

I'm so happy to see you guys play this game

[Tommymang]

I think Jeremy looks better in a gold shirt, because he looks a bit like Miles O'Brien ;-)

[dpastor]

We own this game! It's a blast! Everyone once in a while our kids will say, "Yes, Captain Kavok!"

[Games_and_Music]

That was pretty fun to watch you play, too bad for the audio synch, but i would like to see more of this stuff

[Cofe]

Man, no one can make a good First Contact uniform it seems... even ST: Picard.

[scotchbox]

Come play Star Trek Bridge Crew some time, combine your VR & ST nerdery 🖖

[xMRxZEROx]

This is amazing. I'm a huge Star Trek fan. But my heart belongs to TNG becuase it's what I grew up on. My son has been getting into it with me and I love it. We need this game. Badly. 🤟🏻🤣

New Simpsons short Play Date with Destiny should be on Disney + from the 10th April 2020 according to online sources. Hope that helps.

[prsidentspence]

They need those Hamilton sync specialists at 1h08m.

[ashtonhoward]

I was expecting a backwards long jump. And when it says experience, I thought VR. And now I want someone to go through that fresh hell.

[jatriska]

This better be the official Tested work uniform, always, going forward.

[davedujour]

Norm's room even looks like Justin Long's bedroom in Galaxy Quest.

[SaiKelly]

Nightmare!! We still have the original VHS game with two of the expansion packs, Baron Samedi and...the vampire one...lol ...Elizabeth Bathory! Had to look it up. I think ours was called Atmosfear in the UK?

[Shilly_JD]

Norm is in heaven... Such a Star Trek Nerd!
Love it.

[mythdusterds]

You should get the crew from the 7th Rule Podcast in on Tested since Cirroc Lofton is on the 7th Rule.

[stew]

I still have this and keep a VHS player just to play this game. A Star Wars video board game was also released around the same time.
