Gaming Show (In My Parents' Garage)

Jesse must become a hero on a visit to Legoland, Julia races the national karting champ at MarioKart, and Ian calls on NBA stars Terrence Ross and Jordan Hamilton to take a trip down memory lane with old school NBA Jam. With a little help from internet pals like ThinkNoodles, the gang launches the Gaming Show Youtube channel.

Things at the garage heat up when the spirit of friendly competition takes over as Jesse calls on his buddy, baseball star Brett Lawrie, for a few tips, while Julia's Pokemon passion reaches a whole new level when Pikachu himself gets involved, and Ian takes on a few Major League Soccer pros with gusto.

Inspired by fellow youtubers like FinsGraphics and Captain Sparklez, the Gaming Show gang decides to shake up their own channel with a gimmick. Julia visits the minds behind the app MegaJump at Get Some Games, Jesse teleports to a San Francisco recording studio to meet Charles Martinet - the legendary voice of Mario, and Metallica's Rob Trujillo does the kids a favour by reviewing Pacman and the Ghostly Adventures 2.

Ian goes undercover as a luchador to get the scoop on indie hit Guacamelee, Jesse risks getting caught in a temporal rift to check out Disney's Infinity 2.0, and with the garage to herself, Julia finally has the chance to kick back, build her own virtual reality simulator and travel inside her favorite games.

Gaming Show is turned upside down when Jesse's uncle's station wagon appears in the middle of the garage. With no room to game around the car, and no driver's licenses to speak of, chaos naturally ensues as the gang calls on pals like The Diamond Minecart and Kirby himself to help them get "Gaming Show In My Uncle's Car in My Parent's Garage" off the ground.

Ian catches up with Toronto Blue Jay pitcher Marcus Stroman who helps him review MLB15. Back at the garage, the kids discover that a mysterious internet troll has been dissing their videos, so they seek advice from Youtube acapella star Smooth McGroove, and game voice-over legend Nolan North, as Jesse puts his hockey chops to the test with NHL15 at EA Sports in Seattle, and his Pokemon skills come under fire in an old-west duel, all while the troll is revealed.

The hosts are jacked up to stay up all night to raise funds for the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals by hosting their very own 24-hour Extra Life gaming challenge. But as the gang games on into the night, things start to get trippy when Julia and Ian discover Jesse's become full-blown rockstar after playing too much Rocksmith in his sleep and their Mii Maker characters take on a life of their own.

The crew decides to bring on an intern and end up with 7 foot tall, NBA star, Jonas Valciunas. Meanwhile, Jesse heads to PopCap Games to check out the new Plants vs Zombies shooter getting a surprise of his own, and sneaks past security at Insomniac Games grabbing a glimpse of the yet-to-be-released installment of Ratchet and Clank. Back at the garage the kids discover that, while a welcome addition to the team, Jonas lacks some of the basic skills needed to be an intern on a game specific Youtube channel: namely any gaming skills. Maybe it's time for a trade?

When every single console in the garage breaks at once, the Gaming Show gang has to get creative with some old school gaming. From Super Nintendo to Atari, the host's play their way through a history of gaming all the way into the future of gaming tech: the Occulus Rift virtual simulator. Rock stars Ian and Aaron from Billy Talent guest with their own retro review of EA's NHL '95.

As the first season of Gaming Show comes to a close, the hosts decide to cash in the last of their celebrity favours. Show contributor The Diamond Minecart shows up with some helpful MineCraft tips, Ian gets a Just Dance lesson from Gaming Show's favourite Olympian - Patrick Chan, Donkey Kong stops by to smash up the garage and cheer on the gang in Tropical Freeze, and Jesse gets accused of crying wolf when he insists he can bag an interview with Adam Sandler.
