Hey Will – here’s my feedback – I’m only 7 minutes into this one but Veronica’s “Psycho” homage with the Xacto knife has catapulted her into “best guest Lego builder ever” status in my mind! That and the fact that I totally enjoy the dynamic that she brings to the conversations between the 3 of you (and hey she loves cars and casually and unabashedly uses the phrase “motherfucker” without missing a beat).
In regards to Ikea furniture, I’m in the opposite spot in my life. My wife and I have separated after 20+ years and while I did get some really nice furniture to stock my apartment but the bulk of my furnishings have deliberately been Ikea pieces for that the exact reason that you guys objected to them – their “shelf life”. Plus, I figure it will give me the impetus to build all my own furniture in my woodshop once I manage to find a house of my own.
Within milliseconds of the youtube/copyright/takedown banter and Will saying “A whole new world” and right before Veronica started singing, I immediately thought that “Hey – they could even sing that song” However, once the singing started, Norm had a look on his face that said “I wish Veronica really had stabbed me with the Xacto”. BTW, that is not a remark about Veronica’s singing – I thought she sang quite well!
Knifes
Lego is not mistaken. Mini has a reversing light on one side and on the other brake light. It’s a little scary, they are so good.
“who is this Leg and why did he go”
funny thing is Lego is short for Leg Godt (danish), translates to Play Well
Is the invited friend is being paid to come and do Lego with you guys?
– stickers are not the same as decals…
I have to say it’s refreshing to see you guys with a friend of the opposite sex 😉
I came to think Tested was a big boys game and i’m happy to be wrong!
I’m sure it is somewhere in your future plans, but you guys should have an official woman host.
keep up building boys, it was awesome!
Easy way to lessen worries about losing the (small) child: sharpie a phone number on their arm.
Oh the “losing a kid at Disneyland” conversation brings back memories :).
I was 4-is and we went to Disneyland Paris (still called EuroDisney at that time) with my mom and the neighbor and her daughter. I was (of course) super excited and could not wait to get into the park.
We were walking to the park on the big avenue leading to the entrance (and the Disneyland Hotel) and my mother wanted to take the obligatory photo in front of the hotel. She reached into her bag to get the camera and I took off. Didn’t get to the awesome “kid holding area though”, I got stopped by a nice french lady, a park employee, and my mother soon caught up. She still talks about that she couldn’t believe how quickly I vanished.
The “one light” is a fog lamp, the brake lights, reverse and Driving Lights are in the two pods either side of the boot (or trunk as you may call it) I love old minis
I plan on teaching my kid the Arrested Development chicken sounds.
I would score as a millennial, and I just turned 40.
My opinion about the millennial test: The creators must think that only very young people use computers or new technology. (Which anyone could tell is not true, just by riding any bus in any city.)
on fleek.
As a mechanical driveline engineer I would like to rebut the assertion that the smart is not a safe car. The Mercedes engineers saw the smallcar=totesdanger argument staggering towards them from a mile away when they set out to design the smart and made safety a top priority, patenting advances in safety along the way. Skeptical tv & internet shows have obtained smarts & crashed them at ludicrous speed into concrete barriers expecting entertaining carnage footage, only to discover to their astonishment that, exactly as designed, the driveline detaches from the roll cage, shedding impact energy & spinning harmlessly away. When they walk up to the detached passenger compartment afterward, the doors open normally to let the passengers out. The smart is an engineering achievement featuring 4 & 5 star safety ratings in Europe & the US, a full high-strength steel roll cage, ABS, traction control, 8 air bags nearly filling the compartment, and numerous testimonials from owners about the cars saving their lives in serious crashes.
The bigcar=safecar argument is a ‘murican fallacy – ask anyone with a circa 2001 full-sized Ford pickup who lost their legs in a minor crash. Vehicle safety has absolutely nothing to do with size, height, or mass of a vehicle & everything to do with how it is designed, and the smart is designed very very well. If the smart has a drawback, it is that it is prohibitively expensive for a small 2-seat car; the cost being likely driven in large part by the roll cage, 8 air bags, & other safety tech.
Great series already 🙂
I was in a crash where I was in a BMW and got t-boned by a Land Rover going about 50-70km/h, I was the driver and the car hit my door straight on. I got a side-window to the face, but otherwise everything was peachy. The BMW I was in drove away, the Land Rover had to be towed.
If I had to be in another car crash, I’d pick something designed by the Germans. :p
Thanks tested for introducing Veronica to me, and thanks Veronica for vaginal fantasies, far and away the funniest thing I have seen in ages.
That’s so right. in a smart you are kind of sat in a prism made of girders… However I think Will’s statement was about how he felt driving the car. It’s pretty cramped in there, and on a freeeway where everyone else is trundling round in 3 tonne behemoths with big assed V8’s is not something I would like to experience.
on the plus side, in a smart you have euro steering and suspension, so accidents will be easier to avoid 🙂
Norm’s reaction to Veronica’s monkey impression was hilarious!
Also, bring Veronica on more! Her dynamic in the conversations are great and awesome!
I am a millennial, and I scored Gen Xer at 64. Interesting big jumps:
I have contacted a government official, but If I say I haven’t I jump 14%
I happen to not have played a video game in the past 24 hours, but if I switch it I jump 13%
I happen to own a land line because it is in the package. I don’t even know what the number is, but it still counts right? If I change that it is 18% jump.
All three of them go up to 95% total.
Another interesting bit is that you are more millennial if you have not watched an hour of TV in the past day. I somehow thought it was going to be the opposite. I guess it also depends on what they call TV. Does that count watching a show on Netflix / Hulu / etc? I counted it because it is still TV programming.
Outstanding guys…. Best yet!
you should get Adam to bust out that Millennium Falcon set he has….
Heh….I got 72%……and I thought that was high….
LOLZ….What do you mean “You people” ?
Damnit, how did I score 96% ? I’m in Will’s age bracket also. Living young… Building lego while watching this was amazing though. Now I need more kits for the rest of the week. Hmmmm.
Also, I hate that “you people” put the Willenium album into my mind again.
For the next Lego build, you should do a ‘mad hatters tea party’ where everyone has to swap places at random moments.
looking at the comments, now I have to watch again to find the link to take the test!
If you haven’t watched it again yet: http://www.pewresearch.org/quiz/how-millennial-are-you/
I thought about the TV one for a while. I think it’s intended to mean traditional broadcast, scheduled TV and that streaming services are the more Millenial option, but it’s poorly worded. I also read the Guardian newspaper’s website every day but don’t buy the print edition, so I answered that I haven’t read a newspaper, even though a lot of the article content is the same.
This sounds like an awesome idea. Will, Norm and Gary building 3 different kits, and Joey randomly blows an air-horn and they all have to move 1 seat to their left.
If the series is premium, please make all the videos in it premium. At least you could indicate that the series will be premium.
This is a very shady and dishonest way to trick people into becoming premium members.
I’d rather see adds then have certain content barred off to only those who can afford it in the first place, but If you have to have an elitist group please keep their content clearly marked.
I completely agree. This needs to happen!
The description states that the following episodes would be for Premium members. (Highlights are my own) They also mentioned it in the video that the rest of the series would be for premium members. Like the last lego series, episode 1 was a standalone episode that anyone can enjoy without needing to watch the following episodes.
I’m curious if you think movie trailers and teasers are shady and dishonest because you get a couple of the most exciting minutes for free then have to buy a ticket to see the rest of the film.
Look at it as you getting some extra content instead. Calling the premium membership users an elitist group is a little misguided, their money actually pays for some of the free content as well.
It´s not about elitism but about supporting something you like.
FYI the percent grade is the amount of rise in 100 feet. 41%= 41 foot rise in 100′
Just in case you didn’t know already.
Not to mention that in this case, the first episode is a different kit, so basically a self-contained episode.
Going forward, I think that beer should become a key ingredient of LEGO with Friends.
you have to be joking..
A. as said, premium memberships also pays for a lot of the non-premium content
B. it’s 5 bucks.. i can’t even buy a pizza for $5
C. as said, the video description clearly says the following episodes will be premium content
It’s not a brake light, it’s a fog light. I have a Ford Focus (European car) and it’s got a fog light on one side, and a reverse light on the other. The biggest problem is that the reversing light is super underpowered as a result, and probably on the wrong side (I’m Australian)
Wil, SHUT YOUR MOUTH! PLUTO IS THE BEST.
The video will not load …. s’up?
I don’t know, maybe I just feel that the better approach is to monetize in ways that lets you offer all of your content for free. And that premium content should be things like access to member forums and HD versions of videos maybe even access to videos before everyone else.
Just look at other groups like cartoon hangover that offer all of their content free of charge. they don’t seem to have funding issues.
I just think offering the first video in a series is a unnecessary tease.
it’s not an unnecessary tease, it’s called marketing
yes other people offer content free because they might be able to live on ad-revenue, maybe they have a higher user-base? but there are also tons of places that do exactly the same as tested.. they are in no way “bad guys” for using this method to entice people to pay for extra content..
it’s like many MMO’s these days.. most new ones are Free2Play, but offer you a bit extra if you pay, you still get majorly the same experience as everyone else if you don’t pay, but you just get a bit more fluff if you do pay
The millennial quiz should just give an answer of 100% millennial for taking the quiz in the first place. The amount to which our generation obsesses over finding out “what kind of are you?” is astounding.
Veronica sings really well!
I went to watch this but am having an issue with loading. I noticed my badge icon has reverted back to a basic level on my profile so I wanted to post here to see if that’s the problem.
Nope.
Speaking of Disney dogs — our first family dog was called Pluto, the next one Goofy. 🙂
Oh no, now I’ve given away the answer to so many online security questions! [*]
[*] Not.
I love this stuff.
YOU TAKE THAT SHIT BACK WILL SMITH! STARGATE WAS BADASS!
Where does the Boba Fett behind Norm come from?
*crackling sounds*
