Synopsis[]
Jared is tired, and Craig pretends to break Chad's nose. Craig has been practicing the intro. The crew are going to Vegas in a few weeks. Jared still needs to get his tax return done! There is an age restriction. Craig has been talking to one of the owners, who says that they will look the other way regarding betting on EVO. Wrestlemania was disappointing. There was an April Fools joke over the weekend. Most people got it. Craig lists the upcoming videos. Chad looks like Justin Beiber in Guitar Hiro, which sucks. Keith Apicary had to write a song after losing to brentalfloss.
Hard News[]
Mega Man Universe has been cancelled. It was going to be Mega Man 2 with customizable characters. Craig is really sad by it after getting to play it. The biggest mistake was trying to make it look modern. If it was 8-bit, it would have been more endearing. You can't release anything near April Fools because no one will believe it! Craig wasn't used to playing Mega Man on a 360 controller. No reason was given for the cancellation. Everyone got excited for it, but it wasn't supposed to be that big!
Everyone has been looking forward to Mortal Kombat. It may come with an online pass. If you don't have the online pass, you will need to pay $10 to play online. This is to make people buy new games, rather than used games. The codes would only be able to work once. It works depending on what price GameStop puts the price at. If the game is still worth buying and it is less than what it is new, Craig has no problem with it. Jared mentions how difficult it would be to take the game to a friend's house to show it to them. Rentals would also be a hastle. There will be a ton of backlash.
The 3DS came out. Some parts of Europe and Australia, the company Game bought 3DSs from rival stores to sell them used. They would not sell the used stock until they sold the new stock to sell the 'used' stock at the same price. They thought there would be a high demand. Jared and Chad hopes it bit them in the ass. This is one of the shadiest things Jared has ever seen. The huge companies are bitchslapping the small indie stores. Even if they had a ton left over, they still make a profit. Don't buy from these companies.
Craig crosses to himself. ProGamer Gauntlet is a new segment coming to ScrewAttack. Craig interviews a progamer. Craig interviews Paul from PGG. It is a comedy show, similar to 'The Office' for gamers. The 12 people in the office specialize in a genre of games, and teach clients how to play the games. The personalities will clash. It is about the relationships of the characters. ScrewAttack will show a smaller clip each Friday about the show. The mini episodes will air on ScrewAttack. There have been features at ScrewAttack that have disappeared over the years, but sometimes they have disappeared for a while. Having something to tie people over between episodes will be better off. The first three episodes will air over the next month. A big selling point for the series will hopefully inspire someone to make a web series. Craig wants Paul to list off a quantum equation. Paul isn't in the show yet, but may be later in the series. Craig compliments his other self.
Newsdesk[]
Craig throws the intro of the Newsdesk to Chad, who messes it up as he wasn't expecting it.
In Newport Beach, a criminal and a genius went into a massage parlor, impersonated an inspector to get a message. The reason they got him was when he wanted a second rub down. Chad thinks he got too greedy.
In Middleton, a robbery in a convenience store was taking place, when a man with a prosthetic leg (played by Jared) trips the robber over, and they ended up catching him. The store owner caught up and beat the robber up.
Jared tries to close Craig's 3DS, but Craig opens it.
Craig discusses Charlie Sheen. In Detroit, Sheen decided to go on tour to Detroit. People were walking out within 10 minutes. Snoop Dog was supposed to be there and never showed up. All he would do was ramble. There was no format to the show. He went on webcam just to ramble. Craig asks what do you expect. Craig calls the people who went dumb morons for wasting their money. Even if it were free.
Forum Questions[]
Q. Did any of your parents restrict yo from playing any games due to violence etc?
Craig - No! Craig can't wash his shiny nose as he shows it off. Jared think they frowned upon it, but didn't restrict it. Jared never listened to his parents when they told him to do his homework first. Craig's parents knew it was a video game. Chad's mom was hardcore!

Chad tells a story about seeing an R rated movie when he was 17.

Jared has answered this before. Jared and Adam got so busy that they couldn't get together to film any more. It became difficult to do. They still had ideas. Craig and Jared misses Dale and Chip. Congratulations if you don't know what is being talked about!

Chad lists the birthdays.
Craig makes a slow clap. This was the strangest SideScrollers they have ever done. For those who don't know who Ben is - he has been here for four years!
