1
Hey there, it's Josh.
2
Welcome back to Let's Game It Out.
3
We're playing some Espresso Tycoon today.
4
And as somebody who worked in a coffee shop in college, boy, am I excited.
5
Because now I can finally do all the things I wasn't allowed to do when I worked there.
6
And also, developers, thank you for a key.
7
I'm sorry in advance.
8
And also, I...
9
Hey, did you hear that?
10
Well, that must be Opera GX, the browser for gamers.
11
And also, people with love in their hearts.
12
So let's get the essentials out of the way first.
13
It's easy to switch.
14
Bookmarks, all your settings.
15
It just takes a few clicks and all that stuff is imported.
16
You can also install Chrome extensions, and they all work right in Opera GX.
17
But you know what I didn't realize I needed until now?
18
Mods.
19
Silly, amusing mods.
20
Hey, you want every key press to be a fart?
21
Well, now you can.
22
Or how about a Let's Game It Out mod?
23
Officially made by Opera GX.
24
It makes cute little noises when you type, and plays music to drive you nuts,
25
has a moving wallpaper, And also it does this every time you open a tab.
26
Hey there, it's Josh.
27
Yep.
28
So if you open tabs really fast, you can do this.
29
Hey there, it's Josh.
30
Finally, a browser that understands my needs.
31
And you can mix and match too.
32
Like let's say you want to hear my stupid voice all the time.
33
You can combine that with the fart key presses.
34
And also add some shaders that do different stuff.
35
Like you can do the cracked screen shader.
36
And relive the glory days when you accidentally sent your Wiimote through the family flat screen.
37
Oh no!
38
Or probably more relevant.
39
You can use one of these to change Discord's theme to colors that are more to your liking.
40
Oh, and I can't not talk about my favorite thing in the browser, the GX Corner, which can show you all kinds of glorious gaming info.
41
I love that it shows me what's free right now.
42
And on top of that, you can keep up with what games are coming out soon.
43
Oh, and also if you download through my link, there's a section that'll show you the last three videos that I've released.
44
Oh, and did I mention the browser is completely free?
45
So if this sounds good to you, check out the link in the description and you can go mod wild today.
46
And thanks again to Opera GX for sponsoring.
47
Okay, first things first.
48
We need a catchy name for our establishment.
49
Oops, all poison.
50
Oh, and we can change the font too.
51
Let's see, which one really sells us on the poison angle?
52
Oh yeah, there we go.
53
Why would you ever use any font besides this one?
54
Oh, and we can change the logo too.
55
Why is this even an option?
56
And of course we're gonna use it.
57
Okay, ready to begin.
58
So here we are in the start of our cafe.
59
Looks kind of like garbage, doesn't it?
60
That's okay, though.
61
We can spruce it up.
62
All we need to do is select from one of these eight bajillion categories.
63
And let's see, which kind of floor speaks to me?
64
Oh, I like stuff with color wheels.
65
That means we can customize.
66
Oh, this looks like it's gonna be terrible.
67
Let's try it.
68
Mmm.
69
Oh, I love it.
70
What an eyesore.
71
And I think I'm gonna leave the walls as is, because who doesn't like that dual cracked look?
72
Oh, wait, we forgot this floor here.
73
We'll make this floor a little different.
74
Ooh, this one's called Bloody Planks.
75
Well, count me in.
76
Ugh, it's actually kind of nice.
77
And that sickens me.
78
Evil marble it is.
79
Yeah, okay, I can live with that.
80
Wait, I can't take this stunning design outside, can I?
81
Aw, it looks like the outside world is immune to us painting it.
82
That's okay, there's still stuff to do in here.
83
Hey, look at that, and we already got an award.
84
Worst ingredients in town.
85
Hold your horses, game.
86
We're not even open yet.
87
Anyway, next thing we need to do is furnish this place.
88
We're gonna start with some chairs.
89
Ugh, look at some of this really cozy stuff.
90
Like, look at this vintage sofa.
91
Ugh, you would look so cozy right up against this wall.
92
Or even, ugh, look at this comfortable seat.
93
This comfortable seat called...
94
You know, never mind.
95
I'm glad the chair likes seniors, though.
96
And who doesn't, really?
97
Anyway, we're gonna go with this piece of crap.
98
The cheap chair.
99
The price is right and the style points are zero.
100
That makes it perfect for us.
101
Oh, God.
102
And if we make it the same color as the floor, you almost can't actually see the chair.
103
But I wanna go with a different vibrant color of neon green.
104
It's like we're on a blue screen and a green screen at the same time.
105
And also, that icon is trying to tell me that it's not close enough to a table.
106
Because if we put a table close enough, it stops crying.
107
And we can't have that.
108
And it doesn't really matter all that much, because when you exit out of this menu, it goes away anyway.
109
I mean, it still tries to nag you, but that's not gonna stop us.
110
Well, if you're so precious about stuff being close to the chairs, how about we just get it all cozy with other chairs?
111
Oh, wow, that's pretty close.
112
I like what I'm seeing.
113
What about if we flip it around the other direction?
114
How close can this get?
115
Not that close, as it turns out.
116
However, if we rotate the chair like this, we can get a little bit closer.
117
Wait, I think I figured something out.
118
Okay, so check this out.
119
If I try to bring this too close, it obviously doesn't let me.
120
But while I'm this close, if I then rotate, ta-da!
121
You can overlap chairs just like that.
122
Okay, let's rethink this whole design.
123
So we've got the one chair, and then we've got other chair that we're then gonna rotate into perfection.
124
Good.
125
Oh my god, and it lets you get so close now.
126
I'm so happy about this.
127
Who needs tables when you're gonna have each other's legs?
128
Oh, we can put them along the side here too.
129
There we go.
130
I just hope it works, but I guess we'll find out soon enough.
131
I especially love all the polygons fighting for space.
132
Well, that should about do it for furniture.
133
Now it's time for employment.
134
Look at all these amazing qualified candidates.
135
I especially like Ann Turner.
136
Age, 25.
137
Character trait, pessimism.
138
Salary, $19 a day.
139
And what's really getting her the job is her proficiency with coffee, milk, art, and speed are all very poor.
140
You're hired.
141
Oh my god, and we can pay her even less?
142
$8 a day it is then.
143
Alright, let's get you on the schedule.
144
Let's see, you prefer evening.
145
So let's give you the very flexible shift of 2 a.m to 10 a.m.
146
I bet you can't wait to work.
147
Now that we've figured out employment, it's time for the most fun part of all.
148
The drink menu.
149
Aw, game, it's real cute that you think I would have stuff like regular items.
150
And yeah, it gives us a couple of items to start off, like espresso, and we can add a cappuccino.
151
But like, who's gonna order that?
152
That's snooty garbage.
153
Instead, we're gonna make our own coffee in the coffee editor.
154
We'll start with the very basic 300ml cup for now.
155
And let's name our coffee.
156
Toilet water.
157
Although it's probably not gonna look like water, so we can't really do that.
158
So how about toilet contents?
159
Much better.
160
Oh boy, here we go.
161
Over here is where we make our actual drinks, apparently.
162
We got all the greats.
163
Espresso, cold brew, and it just keeps going too.
164
We've got all kinds of milk, all kinds of unlockable milk.
165
Oh boy, and a bunch of syrups too.
166
Oh, and the fun doesn't stop there.
167
Look at this, We have all kinds of ice cream.
168
Ooh, and extras too.
169
Heavy cream, eggnog, honey.
170
What else do we have?
171
Special ingredients like fish sauce?
172
Mayonnaise?
173
What?
174
Oh, well, at least there's light mayonnaise.
175
You know, for the health conscious coffee drinker.
176
No, but really, who's putting mayonnaise in coffee?
177
That is utterly disgusting.
178
Let's add it right now.
179
Only 25 milliliters?
180
I don't think so.
181
Give me the full 75.
182
Okay, we're doing great so far.
183
Prep time is only eight seconds, you know, to throw a dollop of mayo in there.
184
And it's a whopping 509 calories.
185
And also, if you look over here in market research, we have eight different groups all with their own preferences.
186
And right now, nobody's happy.
187
So let's add some other stuff to see if we can pique their interest.
188
Oh, definitely the mint syrup, right?
189
Oh God, it's so awful.
190
And let's see, let's add in some soy milk.
191
Hot and cold.
192
Oh good, the kids and the students like it now.
193
You know how kids and students are, they can't get enough of their cold, hot, mint soy latte with mayo.
194
And let's top it off with a big helping of ice cubes.
195
Yummy.
196
And I gotta be honest, I feel like toilet contents is the perfect name for it.
197
Now it's time for some toppings.
198
And I don't know about you, but I always crave a little whipped cream on top of my ice.
199
And unfortunately we haven't unlocked sprinkles, but we do have blueberries.
200
I ask you, does it get any better than this?
201
The answer is yes, it does, because you can add more blueberries.
202
How many?
203
I don't know.
204
We'll find out, I guess.
205
Yeah, I kept adding them until I can't see it adding more, so I don't know if it's doing it.
206
It is making this delightful noise still.
207
And we'll go ahead and finish that off with a nice raspberry macaroon on the side.
208
And not to mention, one of these weird-looking little stick things.
209
Look at that.
210
You can't even tell it's swarming with mayo and soy milk.
211
Ah, the perfect drink.
212
Only costs a little over $4 to make and contains a whopping 1,200 calories. And save.
213
Okay, so let's take espresso.
214
So off the menu and let's add toilet contents.
215
Yeah.
216
Now we're not ready to go with it quite yet.
217
You see how it's in red?
218
That's because there's a bunch of items that we need for it that we don't have.
219
Because right now our coffee shop is stocked with nothing.
220
And that's where supplies come into play.
221
So I know it doesn't have coffee beans, but we're going to order some anyway.
222
And ordering one unit of 500 grams will be delivered for $4.89 in three hours or instantly for $254.
223
Excuse me.
224
Oops, all poison is a family establishment.
225
We're not made of money.
226
I'll just wait the three hours, thank you.
227
And now we wait.
228
I mean, I think.
229
Not really sure where they're gonna show up.
230
What are they gonna do?
231
Just like knock on the door?
232
Oh, wait, what?
233
How did that get there?
234
Hang on, let's order a couple more things so we can see that again.
235
Well, yeah, of course.
236
Delivered straight from heaven to my coffee shop.
237
Oh, wait, I see what's happening here.
238
Everything's getting delivered by drone.
239
But I guess that's the process at work for you.
240
Really gives us a nice taste of what our dystopian future is gonna be like.
241
And what a beautiful stack of organized boxes you've left for me.
242
Also, my God, be careful on that street over there.
243
Look how fast those cars are going.
244
Yep, no turn signal, no stopping, no problem.
245
All right, let's get all this stuff inside.
246
Thank you, random citizens, for not stealing things.
247
Ah, and there's the last of our ingredients.
248
And as an added bonus, our employee is here to work.
249
There you go, drunkenly wander your way in.
250
Hey, and look at that, toilet contents isn't red anymore.
251
Now we can make seven whole cups of this.
252
Something tells me I under-ordered, So we're gonna go ahead and add espresso back to the menu just to give people two whole options Oh, but you know what?
253
Let's edit this recipe a little bit.
254
I mean, look how sad that looks Let's at least make it worth people's time
255
and money by making it a triple shot with a glorious 222 milligrams of caffeine, but more importantly, we're gonna change the name.
256
Oh god, my heart Palpitations and save.
257
Okay.
258
I think we're about ready to go.
259
We got a drink menu.
260
We've got a board employee Let's do it.
261
Let's open the doors Oh my god, and we have our first customer already.
262
Hello and welcome to Oops All Poison.
263
Ah, I didn't realize you would just say the words out loud, but it makes sense now that I think about it, which obviously Ann Turner here knew what that was, because she's a barista.
264
Oh boy, here we go.
265
Are you gonna use the seats?
266
Aw, yeah.
267
Perfectly, absolutely normal.
268
I'm happy to see that you're enjoying your delicious cup of mayo and soy.
269
Also, what is this arrow that keeps pointing to this X2 here?
270
Okay, wait, so I have a 2X multiplier buy more decoration, and collect more style points to increase your money multiplier.
271
The higher it is, the more money you earn with each coffee sold.
272
How does that work?
273
So hang on, are you telling me that if I get my style up to 10, my money multiplier becomes 3, and I have 6 style points right now.
274
So it looks like if we go to our decorations, each and every item has style points.
275
So this lamp that costs $56 has 3 style points, which isn't too bad considering if we get to 10, we get a 3x multiplier.
276
I gotta admit though, I don't really understand the logic of the style points.
277
Like, this lamp is $56 and gives you three style points, but this little pot is $60 and it only gives us one style point.
278
Okay, wait, so there's gotta be, like, a sweet spot here, right?
279
Found it.
280
Napkin holders.
281
One style point for $2.
282
Now, that's a return on investment I can respect.
283
Okay, so I can't put them on the ground, at least out here.
284
And I also can't place it on the floor.
285
Oh, I see.
286
It goes on counters and stuff.
287
Oh, and also, I don't know if you noticed, but as we were messing around, our one employee went home.
288
I guess our shift is over or something.
289
That's okay, we'll bring her back when we're done here.
290
But it looks like we can put it on, like, surfaces and stuff.
291
And if we put down a couple of more, now we have 13 style points.
292
And while we do have a 3x money multiplier, we only need 20 to get to times 4.
293
Strap in all you napkins, because you're about to get held.
294
That's right, we're gonna do enough holding for a lifetime.
295
Look at that, we're already at 44?
296
For a times 6 multiplier?
297
When does it end?
298
Only 80?
299
Everything is in our grasp.
300
Time to put these things anywhere they're gonna fit.
301
Okay, so I managed to stack enough of these napkin things to reach 500 style points.
302
What a beauty they all are.
303
I think you're supposed to use this space for like merchandise and stuff, but who doesn't need more napkins?
304
Besides, look at that.
305
Now that we have 500 style points, we get a 15x multiplier on everything people buy.
306
Oh, and it looks like that's the end.
307
We did it.
308
We're at the highest possible money multiplier.
309
All that and we've sold three whole coffees.
310
Now just one problem.
311
We don't have a barista here anymore.
312
I can't access the schedule, which leads me to believe she quit.
313
Can't imagine why.
314
So let's see.
315
Let's pick someone else.
316
Christina, character trait optimism, no. Jennifer Turner, character trait charisma, no. Ava Rogers, character trait sensitivity.
317
I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing, but everybody else has that trait.
318
So we'll go with Rebecca Brown because their asking salary is lower than everybody else's.
319
And whoa there, cowboy.
320
I know we hired you for $28 a day.
321
But let's go middle of the road on this one and drop it down to $26 a day.
322
Thanks for joining us.
323
It's going to be a really great time.
324
Yeah, that's the spirit.
325
Make your delicious drinks.
326
See, now there's a happy customer.
327
I like how this woman is sitting over here with a camera on a lanyard around her neck.
328
Probably staring at this menu being like, Why is all this stuff listed if it's not on the menu?
329
Because we have delicious treats like this, that's why.
330
Just enjoy the atmosphere.
331
Oh my god, did you see that?
332
When he bought that coffee, we made like $93 off of it.
333
We're selling this thing for $6.
334
What sense does this even make?
335
Also, why are you holding your arm like that?
336
Are you on an invisible date?
337
Wait a second.
338
Could fake date turn into real date?
339
Ah, and they're ordering the old, oh God, my heart palpitatio NS.
340
I guess I made that one a little too long.
341
No problem, easy fix.
342
Make my heart hurt.
343
Ah!
344
Okay, yeah, that's much better.
345
$45?
346
Where does it even come from?
347
Aw, yeah, this is a good first date.
348
Here comes the airplane.
349
Mm.
350
Nice to see her holding hands, kind of, while you enjoy your beverages together.
351
Okay, well, I guess that day was short-lived.
352
Uh, sir, what is this?
353
Did you just leave your garbage here?
354
Good for you, citizen.
355
Hey, wait a minute.
356
Where'd the barista go?
357
What do you mean you went home because your shift is over?
358
Wait, can I just take this thing and then just drag it so you have to come back to work?
359
When the clock hits 11 p.m., is she gonna come back?
360
Oh, hey, it worked.
361
I bet you didn't even have time to change out of your work clothes.
362
Okay, this is great and all, but this is a little too cozy of a coffee shop for me.
363
I don't want to just have one person here at a time.
364
After all, there's enough seats for eight.
365
Oh my goodness, what's happening to you?
366
Why are there flies buzzing around you?
367
Oh yeah, that guy's trash.
368
Well, I'm glad you're okay with it sitting right behind you.
369
Flies and all.
370
But let's see if we can find a way to get more clientele in here.
371
So first, let's make a couple of drinks.
372
And we're gonna name this one.
373
Hey you, destroy my taste buds.
374
Don't worry, I've got you covered.
375
So we're gonna start with a little butter, followed by a little mayo, and then another round of butter, and then some more mayo.
376
Look at that, we're already off to a great start.
377
100 milliliters of liquid, 696 calories.
378
That'll impress them.
379
And now for some mint syrup and lemon syrup and chocolate syrup and raspberry syrup.
380
I really want the mint to pop though, so we're going to add a little bit more than normal for that one.
381
And we're going to heat it up with some hot water.
382
Is this even a beverage at this point?
383
Let's just throw some hot milk foam right on top.
384
And now it's time to make that latte art.
385
And as you can see, we have a whole bunch of templates already.
386
Oh my goodness, look how pretty that is.
387
And there's other stuff like the flour or wheat or a round leaf or we can make our own.
388
Okay, let's see.
389
How does this work?
390
Oh, wow.
391
This worked better than I thought it would.
392
And you can smear it to give it that special look that everyone loves.
393
Who knew that making latte art was so easy?
394
Okay, so let's try and do this for real.
395
Let's see.
396
So first we'll do a line like that.
397
Maybe something a little like this.
398
Okay, it's looking good.
399
And then a little U.
400
Okay.
401
Really stretch my creative muscles with this one.
402
Either way, I think this drink is perfect.
403
Bag it and tag it and it's ready to go.
404
Oh dear, and this item is definitely not ready for prime time.
405
Not only do we need to pick up some extra syrups, but we also need a milk frother.
406
I'm sorry, am I going senile?
407
That is literally a milk frother.
408
In fact, she's literally frothing milk right now.
409
What kind of coffee shop is this?
410
Oh, it's this kind of coffee shop, where we just sit in this growing pile of trash.
411
But fine, whatever.
412
This one says it doesn't have milk frothers?
413
Fine.
414
We'll go to the next model up.
415
There, now it's a resounding yes.
416
Thank God for the leading brand of Smig.
417
There you go, look at your new equipment.
418
I can tell you're thrilled.
419
Excuse me, now is not the time to go off duty.
420
Little does she know she's about to pick up another shift.
421
She literally just walked out the door.
422
Let's see how she deals with this.
423
Okay, she just vanishes and then stumbles out of the alleyway.
424
Hey, I don't care if you're an ethereal being, so long as you make it to your shift.
425
Yeah, good job, Rebecca, that's really gonna do it.
426
That despondent look always brings in the customers.
427
And now for the missing ingredient, marketing.
428
Okay, let's see.
429
We're gonna market to all of these different categories.
430
And we can't afford it to run for 10 days, but I bet we can afford one day.
431
Good enough for me.
432
Oh my God, we have a line forming.
433
Also, why are you all surrounded in like a torrent of little camera icons?
434
It must be from my marketing campaign.
435
Okay, let's play a little game here.
436
See this person right here?
437
How old do we think they are?
438
20, 25, 45?
439
Wrong.
440
They're nine years old.
441
It's confirmed.
442
Children in this game are just tiny adults.
443
Okay, well, we can confirm the marketing campaign is working because look at all these people coming in.
444
Wait a minute, instead of running one campaign for multiple days that costs a whole lot of money, can I just run multiple campaigns for one day at the same time?
445
Looks like the answer is yes.
446
Oh yeah, here we go.
447
Look at all these people showing up.
448
All of them with a shroud of being brainwashed by advertising.
449
Everybody, come on in.
450
Oh God, where's our person?
451
Where's Rebecca?
452
This marketing campaign is falling apart.
453
What do you mean she quit?
454
All right, fine, let's hire someone else.
455
Paul Mitchell, you're going in.
456
Look at this, this person's even ordering before you're there.
457
Oh God, I hope at least some of these people go ahead and take a seat in this cockpit for eight.
458
Okay, here comes one person who's going to be brave enough to join her.
459
Come on, come on, finish your coffee.
460
Why are you so slow?
461
Oh, looks like we have a contender.
462
Ah, strangers no more.
463
Forever sharing their love of coffee and surrounded in obnoxious little camera things.
464
Okay, we need to speed up the pace here.
465
So let's hire all of these people and let's make sure to put them all on the same shift.
466
Ah, here they are right now.
467
And then wandering around like zombies.
468
Excuse me, what are you doing?
469
Are you just horsing around on your phone.
470
Keep up the good work.
471
You're the smart one.
472
Oh, I guess you can only have like three people on shift at a time or something.
473
But the important part is the line is going much faster now, and thus our seating is becoming more intimate.
474
I can't tell if Wolverine here is horrified or happy about this.
475
He went from like angry to sad to just confused.
476
See, this is much better.
477
Look how many people are sharing this communal seating.
478
I especially like this woman in the back right here.
479
She just wants to be involved.
480
Well, so far, this is working out pretty well.
481
Everyone seems to be accepting this setup just fine, with new people being added all the time.
482
I know when I've been to a coffee shop, I feel like the one thing I'm missing is being able to smell everybody else's breath.
483
Okay, so I was taking a look at my menu ratings over here.
484
And while we're nice and popular with the seniors and the tourists, we could really stand to make all these other groups like us a little more.
485
So it's making another drink time.
486
Let's go for the tall cup.
487
And instead of looking at all this market research, Let's just start adding a little bit of everything and see if this strikes their fancy.
488
So here we go.
489
Cold milk and hot milk and steamed milk and soy and milk foam and more soy.
490
And as I go, I'm smooshing down the layers to make room for more layers.
491
Too many layers.
492
But look how low the cup is.
493
Well, at least the hipsters love it.
494
I bet if we give them more soy, they'll love it even more.
495
Oh yeah, there we go. As expected.
496
Oh, you know what I actually realized?
497
Like sure, I could continue to make my own latte art, which does feel very satisfying, but it turns out I suck at making latte art.
498
So instead of making a mess like this, it turns out we can just put our own images into a folder, and it'll import them right into the game.
499
So I asked the internet for something painfully hipster-like.
500
Yeah, I bet that stupid bike, and that stupid hat, and what looks to be a stupid coat, I bet it all does it for you, doesn't it?
501
I love Wes Anderson films.
502
Oh yeah, here we go.
503
Let the revolution begin.
504
Nice suspenders, you dork.
505
You know, I don't know if I'll ever get tired with how weird this looks.
506
And wildly inappropriate for a coffee shop.
507
Oh, did you run out of beard oil?
508
Well, thanks for coming by anyway.
509
I like how now it's just all hipsters coming in.
510
And I think maybe the same ones?
511
They just can't get enough of that Wes Anderson coffee.
512
And then an intimate space to talk about it.
513
Yeah, you drink those fancy drinks.
514
While you recreate the pottery scene from Ghost.
515
Okay, our line management's getting a little bit heinous.
516
People are getting confused.
517
Something tells me our people are stressed.
518
Whatever, I'm sure it's fine.
519
Why do you have your hands behind your back at the cash register?
520
What are you, a butler?
521
I also couldn't help but notice that no one's sitting down.
522
Everybody's getting everything to go.
523
And I finally realized why that is.
524
I think my trash pile has hit a fever pitch.
525
Something about these icons and this toxic cloud, as well as the skull and crossbones.
526
I don't get it.
527
People just don't want to sit here, I guess.
528
That's okay.
529
We'll just put down some more chairs.
530
So let's put one right here in front of the door.
531
Now you can observe while people come in and out.
532
Yes, that's the spirit.
533
You're doing great.
534
And we'll put one right here.
535
Oh my god, why does it let me put a chair back here?
536
Well, I'm not gonna question it.
537
I just really hope somebody sits there.
538
Oh, so far I like the chairs I've put down.
539
It's so perfect for people watching.
540
You have your choice of being in the way or creepily facing the bathroom, but I think we can all agree that this is the best seat in the house, where you just sit behind the counter,
541
completely in the way of people just trying to make some drinks as you snort the cup into your nose.
542
Oh my god, look at this brave soul.
543
I was here before, it was cool to be radioactive.
544
Shockingly, despite all this floor space, The game actually won't let me place chairs down in any of this area, no matter how much rotating I do.
545
Oh, this is another good seat, too.
546
You know, where you get to just observe the outside world?
547
It's an especially unique seat, because I really shoved it close to the wall.
548
You know, when you people watch with your legs just jutting out of the storefront?
549
That's okay, though, because I realized something else.
550
We can put chairs out here.
551
We can't go past this line, nor can we put stuff right in the entryway.
552
But that's okay, there's still plenty of space.
553
I also learned that if you actually do put a table down, when people sit down to enjoy their delicious coffee, When they leave their trash, they put it on the table instead of on the chairs.
554
That means I'm like ground zero in here, where they just left all their crap on the chairs and now nobody can sit there.
555
This remains beautiful, usable real estate.
556
And thank God she sips from her cup and then shoves it into this trash.
557
There we go.
558
Look at that horrible disarray.
559
I'm sure you're enjoying your coffee
560
and also your knee that's wedged into the table as you stare off at these buildings and the horrible smoggy sky.
561
So how about something nicer for people to look at?
562
I actually know this cat.
563
This is Stash.
564
There we go.
565
How eclectic of us.
566
Look at these amazing conversation pieces.
567
But there's something much more exciting at play here than just having space for people to sit.
568
Because over a long enough period of time, this happens.
569
Full-blown radiation situation.
570
These front seats have all become a beautiful, toxic art installation.
571
Nobody's allowed to sit here, but that's okay.
572
Because there are still some seats where people can sit.
573
I like that if I click on them.
574
It shows me their little portrait, and you can just see all the fumes engulfing her face.
575
How does paradise taste?
576
Presumably like a whole lot of garbage.
577
But hey, when you need your coffee, you need your coffee.
578
But now it's time for one last thing.
579
You remember our package drop-off spot?
580
I've been thinking about it this whole time, and I just have to know.
581
Is there a limit to how many packages we can order?
582
And all I can say is it's time to find out.
583
So I'm just gonna order one of literally everything.
584
We don't need a lot of supplies, we just need a lot of boxes.
585
So hopefully this helps do the trick.
586
Oh, watch your head, buddy.
587
That was a close one.
588
Okay, I'm getting really excited for the process.
589
Well, no one seems that concerned yet.
590
They're just navigating around the boxes, completely unconcerned about cars and stuff.
591
I like how this lady's like, well, time to go to work.
592
Oh, I think they just blocked the passage.
593
Well, guess I'm calling in sick.
594
Okay, so it's been about an hour now.
595
Box pile is still growing.
596
Cafe in the background, still radioactive.
597
So far, so good.
598
Yep, it's been another hour.
599
Now we're enduring this amazing noise.
600
Also, everybody else is just as confused, especially with this metamorphosis happening right in front of them.
601
Okay, so I've got some good news and I've got some bad news.
602
The good news is that our box pile is absolutely amazing.
603
The bad news is this is about as big as it gets before the game crashes.
604
Also, amazingly, everything has gone to hell inside the coffee shop.
605
There's toxic fumes everywhere.
606
This woman's been trying to order coffee forever and nobody's here.
607
There's a terrifying wall of boxes right outside the window.
608
Also, as I'm sure you can see, these cars absolutely don't care.
609
Just a minor inconvenience for them.
610
But here's the really good news.
611
It turns out if I pause the game and then hit play again really fast, here's what the boxes do.
612
Ahhhhhhhhhh And I can just keep doing it too.
613
Nature is healing!
614
And I'm so glad that this woman is still not concerned.
615
She's just annoyed she can't get her Wes Anderson coffee.
616
Even though it's not her favorite.
617
I want to thank Opera GX again for sponsoring this video.
618
It's free to download and you can check it out for yourself using my linky in the description.
619
So I hope you had fun, I know I did.
620

Boost Your Conversational Fluency with This Video Clip
This lively clip from a gaming video is perfect for practicing natural, casual English speaking. It targets the fluency milestone of speaking with ease in informal settings—think chatting with friends, sharing stories, or even explaining a game. The fast-paced, conversational tone helps you get comfortable with real-world rhythm, making it ideal for english speaking practice using the shadowing technique.
Phrase Bank: Reusable Expressions to Add to Your Toolkit
- "Hey there, it's [name]." – A friendly way to start a conversation or video.
- "Let's get the essentials out of the way first." – Useful for prioritizing tasks in a chat.
- "I didn't realize I needed until now." – Great for expressing newfound appreciation for something.
- "You can mix and match too." – Handy when explaining combinations or customization options.
- "I can't not talk about my favorite thing." – Emphasizes excitement about a topic (double negative for effect).
Fix Your Weak Spots: Rhythm and Intonation
The video's energetic delivery is a goldmine for improving speech rhythm and intonation. Notice how the speaker stresses key words (like "fart," "stupid voice," "free") to add humor and emphasis. To practice, try the shadowing technique: play a short segment, pause, and repeat it aloud, mimicking the speed, tone, and stress. Tools like a shadowing app or shadowing site can help you slow down tricky parts. Focus on phrases like "Hey there, it's Josh"—the rising intonation here makes it sound welcoming, not flat. With practice, you'll start to sound more natural, even in fast conversations. So grab your device, hit play, and let's turn this fun clip into a powerful speaking tool!
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — an action that started earlier and is still going on | I've been thinking · woman's been trying |
| Conditional sentences if + clause, will/would + verb — a condition and its result | if we give them more soy, they'll love |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | I've released · we've figured · haven't unlocked |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | wasn't allowed · is imported · is stocked |
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
