EP1 Can Gamers SURVIVE the Real Mirror's Edge? Jun 08, 2016

With the help of a professional parkour trainer, MatPat along with friends from Smosh Games and The Warp Zone learn how to perform some of the moves seen in Mirror's Edge.

EP2 Soccer + Cars = AWESOME (Rocket League) Jun 08, 2016

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!

EP3 Can Gamers Defuse BOMBS? ft. Game Grumps (Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes) Jun 15, 2016

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??

EP4 DON'T GET CAUGHT! Stealthing like Metal Gear Solid Jun 22, 2016

Over the years I’ve done a few theories on Metal Gear Solid, but my research has never involved real army vehicles, real guns, and REAL BOXES! For this episode I brought in a few friends to learn about Metal Gear Solid and real stealth tactics from a veteran and 12-year U.S. Navy Seal…who basically thinks we’re a bunch of gamer pansies. In our challenge we’ll find out just how stealthy we really are at trying to sneak into an actual military supply base in the middle of the night…I’ll give you a hint: not very stealthy.

EP5 Surviving Five Nights of FEAR! Jun 29, 2016

You know me and animatronic restaurant horror…I just can’t stay away! So when the opportunity to recreate Five Nights at Candy’s came up, you know I was going to Game Lab the heck out of this one. Like every episode of Game Lab, it’s not just about recreating the game in real life, it’s about exploring why the game works and how it applies to the real world. In this episode, we test out the real game mechanics of Five Nights At Candy’s, then learn all about fear responses and why different people respond to these games differently. Our expert for the episode designs some of the most terrifying haunted houses in the world and shows us what it really means to dive into scary games.

EP6 OSTRICH JOCKEYS?! (Final Fantasy XV) Jul 06, 2016

Get ready for some good ol’ fashioned CHOCOBO RACING! Or, as close as I can get, when I traveled to the Arizona ostrich festival to hop on REAL racing ostriches. And these aren’t cute little chicks we’re talking about—these are gigantic, eight-foot, 40-miles-per-hour racing monsters! I got pecked, stepped-on, and bucked off for an entire day learning how to actually race these birds, then I took on some serious competition in an all out tournament. Learn what it means to “ride an ostrich like a football” and what happens when your bird decides they just don’t feel like finishing the race!

EP7 Are YOU Being HACKED? (Watch Dogs 2) Jul 13, 2016

Ever wonder what it’s like to be a real life hacker? As someone who works online, it’s one of those things I think about all the time. But it turns out, the truth about hacking is WAY scarier than I could have ever imagined. You know that insane hacking you see in Watch_Dogs and all the bizarre things you can hack like phones, cars, and stoplights? It’s all real, my friends, and it’s just the beginning! For this episode, we brought in two professional hackers to teach us the ins and outs of hacking into a major media company and grabbing data off of their own servers…FOR REAL. This is serious, scary stuff and it completely changed the way I look at the internet and hacking in real life.

EP8 The Science of Sword Fighting! (For Honor) Jul 20, 2016

For the finale of Game Lab Season 1 I wanted us to go out in style…so I decided to SIEGE MY OWN CASTLE! Or at least, a castle I rented for a day. This was one of the most fun episodes to make in the entire series—I got to learn sword techniques, dress in historic armor and stab the Beard Bros. IN THE FACE! When you think about comparing these games to real life, you think about the weapons and the armor, but you DON’T think about the adrenaline, the fatigue, and the idea of complete strangers running at you with axes. It’s a lot more intense and a lot more dangerous than I ever anticipated!

gostuffawesome A Great underrated youtube premium (youtube red at the time) show that deserves a second season

shypl Out of all the YouTube RED shows that are out, this is one of the better ones...although, that's not saying much at all. YouTube RED is a fail when it comes to content that is fun to watch. Anyway, out of the 8 episodes that are out right now, there are 2 that are enjoyable. The rest have boring premises, bad execution, and bad guests! Seriously, where do they find the YouTubers that are guests on Game Lab, the street corner? I have never had the creativity be sucked out of me from watching something that's supposed to be entertainment. It does educate you on some things (hacking, bombs, stealth, etc.); the education is great, but when they try to reenact it in live action it falls short and is mostly boring. Worth watching? Not really, unless you get it for free, and maybe not even then.

Murilo M Despite all of the dislike towards YouTube Red series - mainly because it hides content in a free website behind a paywall - this series really shows why it is necessary. MatPat, from GameTheory, takes his gaming colleagues to different situations that reminisce with the ones found in popular game titles - like Mirrors Edge (Parkour), Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes (Bomb Defusal), Metal Gear (Military Stealth) and so on. It's a good premise, with great production value and a fair amount of enjoyment to be had, despite the awkward humor every now and then (though it gets better with every episode so it might have been due to the host being nervous when it began). This is the kind of series that wouldn't be as enjoyable if made in a smaller scale, so the YouTube sponsorship makes sense and serves it well.

Sam Cannon In my opinion the best Youtube Red exclusive I've seen so far, Game Lab is quite a fun mix of edutainment with nerd culture. Matpat is a great host, who is very enthusiastic even when he says something awkward. The general theme of the show is taking gamers out of their comfort zone in a sense, but also relating each episode to a video game. The first episode is themed around Mirror's Edge, so they went to a parkour school and learned some basic techniques. The latest episode takes the group to get trained by an ex-Navy Seal in some basic stealth techniques. This sort of fusion of gamer fantasy with the real life counterpart serves as a fun and educational way of informing the viewer what it takes to do these things in real life.The main flaw is fairly subjective, but at times the humour is a little too awkward, mainly due to the unscripted nature of the show. This is fine most of the time for me, but can be annoying for some.
