Scottye thinks he sees Ludacris. 34:16 yes <p>After two weeks of shenanigans, Jim decided doing a challenge about books and/or magazines was only somewhat boring. He also purchased an Oculus, so this week's challenge is changed up to VIRTUAL REALITY. First up, Jim invites his hotel guests into a VR space to, well, preview the sights and sounds of his co-host's Party Town. Somehow there is drinking involved. Meanwhile, Scottye uses his virtual space to bring his guests into the cities not found in and around Party Town. There is tons of food, and Jim references an extinct Disney World attraction (as is his way). </p> disney, disney world, universal studios, design, imagineering, engineering, architecture, epcot, virtual reality, oculus, facebook, wdw preview center, star trek, holodeck After two weeks of shenanigans, Jim decided doing a challenge about books and/or magazines was only somewhat boring.

Jim doesn't use water. 34:49 yes <p>This week, Scottye shares stories from his most recent trip to Central Florida before getting into the challenge for the week of West Virginia. First up, it's an omnious dance party as Scottye brings guests <em><strong>Mothman's Cocaine Dance Party</strong></em> featuring everyone's favorite cryptozoologic celebrities. Will anyone survive the show (put on every hour on the hour)? Then, Jim tries to not embarass himself or any of his in-laws as he presents <em><strong>New River Rush</strong></em>, a waterless VR rafting attraction where you just might end up getting hit in the face by a few branches if you don't learn how to use your paddle. Still, thanks to the wonders of virtual reality, you may still get slightly wet. That's way better than dying while a cover of "Celebration" plays. Either way, we know for sure that Mothman Knows Best. </p> disney, disney world, universal studios, design, imagineering, engineering, architecture, west virginia, whitewater, mothman, sasquatch, america, virtual reality This week, Scottye shares stories from his most recent trip to Central Florida before getting into the challenge for the week of West Virginia.
