"Beat the Yeti" for 05/05/08

Yes, we're here. And we fought this week, unlike last week, where GTA IV got in the way of last week's team (in other words, they were scared).

Ok, this week, we faced Team FetalKittens (seriously, what's up with these names?). Read below for the brain-numbing details!

Team Yeti

HeavenlyYeti- 'The Next American Idol'

TheRussianKoLob- 'Psycho'

Lilkuke- 'not so little anymore, it seems'

The Phr3ak- 'Reading Rainbow!'

Team FetalKittens

Llamatek- 'Teh Leader'

CODii- 'Triforce FTW'

r053B0y5- 'every rose has a thorn, you know'

earle117- 'I Love Yeti!'

GAME 1

Yes, that's an Explorer window you're seeing above. That's because I'm posting this at school. Anyway, The first game was Team Snipers on Rat's Nest. We got off to a rough start, what with RussianKoLob being all "M.I.A." and me just trying out the Bumper-Jumper control scheme for the first time.

But soon we found our grip and began popping some heads. During this bloody battle along the endlessly looping roads of the UNSC base, The Phr3ak and I sang in a duet that, well, wasn't exactly a voice from the heavens. But, yeah, I sang a rendition of Darkspire Films' song "No Scope Was Involved" and Phr3ak was my backup.

Apparently our singing actually were what won us the match. We thoroughly confused Team Fetal and thus emerged victorious. Yay!

Final Score: 25-22, Team Yeti wins

GAME 2

Well, our singing won us the match last time. So, like the Americans we are, we decided to do it again. However, the other team had become wise to us, and were expecting it when we poured our performance of "Reading Rainbow" upon their ears. We totally got owned, but I feel like this is a good time to give a little list of songs that we tried on these guys.

"Everytime We Touch" by Cascada

"Still Alive" by GLaDoS

"Reading Rainbow" by Reading Rainbow

"Numb" by Linkin Park

"Umbrella" by Rihanna

"When You Say Nothing At All" by Alison Krauss

Note that the above listed songs will NOT work on their team anymore.

Final Score: 100-29, Team FetalKittens wins

GAME 3

Why is it that every time we do these things, we end up having a tiebreaker? Can't we just win twice in a row sometime? Yes, I'm talking to you, teammates.

Ok, prior to the Challenge, I had received an e-mail from Llamatek asking if we could play Team Swat on their own map, charmingly named "Fugly". Being the nice guy that I am, of course I approved!

So, here's the basic premise of this map, based on my understanding: You and your team run around through some teleporters and shoot the other team. The teleporters go all over the place, and there are tons of MLG-style callouts for this map, such as "The Sniper Box". Now, try as I might, never once did I find this so-called "box". I personally think Team FetalKittens is a bunch of dastardly villains who knew I was listening when they spoke, so they would lie about stuff. I swear I heard somebody say "Yo, I'm in the part that looks like Epitaph!"

The battle went on for seemingly forever, and man was the score close! But through and through, we emerge victorious.

Final Score: 50-49, Team Yeti wins.
