Bored Smashing - PLAYDATE

## Basic Information

**Bored Smashing - PLAYDATE** is the 111th installment in the Bored Smashing series.

## Synopsis

King (as the Asian Video Game Nerd) reviews all 24 of the Playdate's free games.

## Summary

The video begins with King taking his hammer from the microwave and places an unfamiliar gaming system he never heard of. King explains to the viewers that the *Playdate* system has a high volume amount of search on YouTube, therefore, he assumed it was worth getting it to gamble.

Since many viewers were confused and didn’t know what a *Steam Deck* is on his previous Bored Smashing video, King rubs in to his viewers that they missed *the early days of games*. King demonstrates that the Playdate is a modern game console to the Nintendo Game Boy, in which the Play date came out not long ago and he paid it overpriced than it’s original price.

King begins to unwrap the flip cover for its plastic to see if it will protect the screen, in which he uses a graphing calculator for an example. The flip cover was useless, so he tries to shred it, but it failed. Finally, King begins to unbox the Playdate system itself. King was disgusted that the charger is a USB-A to USB-C cable, so he smashes it with a hammer and discards the manual. Afterwards, he removes the Playdate system out of the box and noticed a small manufacturing defect on the bottom left of the screen, assuming the previous owner didn’t take care of it or it was sitting in the mailbox for a while.

King begins to boot up the Playdate and sets up the system. Since he bought Playdate system in used condition, it has the former player’s personal data which doesn’t allow him to login nor create a new account. King complains about it so he contact the ebay seller to remove the account from the Playdate’s system. King uses his Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP to play Pokémon Emerald, but it turns out plays the song Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley, which made King mad because he got rick rolled.

King turns into Asian Video Game Nerd because his own character doesn't have a lot of experience of reviewing games. King reviews all 24 free games in Season 1, with durability tests relating to those games.

After reviewing 24 games, King said he had to get some video game footage from the Playdate because he must keep his Playdate account for 3 months to get all 24 games. He afterwards said "AVGN out" before going back to normal.

After the outro, there is footage of King in his Asian Video Game Nerd character smashing the Playdate with a ratchet from the Ratcheteer skit. The next scene cuts to King playing Whitewater Wipeout, however King makes a mistake causing the surfboarder to fall into the ocean. The game says "TRY HARDER!" meaning King loses a life. King afterwards said "What a f\*\*\*ing ni-i....ce guy" as he almost said "the gamer word" also known as the n-word.
