I Built a Secret Arcade in Public

if video games have taught me anything it's that there is 100 something behind this wall [Music] what that's not what I thought was gonna happen this is what I thought was gonna happen oh oh yeah now that's what I'm talking about a secret arcade unlimited games the colorful blights The Sounds endless fun and I have this place all to myself now that's exactly the type of thing I want to see behind a secret door ha what no Fun's over oh I shouldn't have to spend everything I have just to have some

fun this is ridiculous no secret door no secret arcade and I had to drive here that is just unacceptable you know what no more messing around I know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna build my own arcade just for me with a secret entrance in unlimited games so the fun never ends okay if I'm gonna build an arcade then I'm gonna have to build a room now arcade games can take up a lot of space so this room's gonna have to be pretty big now the size of the games isn't the only reason I need to make this r

oom big you see the past few months have been pretty lonely because every time I ask my friends to hang out they say they can't because they're too busy and there's always an excuse like I'm getting a haircut I'm working on my business I'm hitchhiking Across America I'm teaching my dog how to play chess like how is any of this more important than hanging out with friends now I'll admit I've been pretty busy too but I was literally saving the world guys but my point is is that everyone's got thei

r own lives going on and if I want to convince my friends to come hang out with me then I gotta make this thing sick and then I realize something if I bring a room of this size out to the public it's gonna stick out like a sore thumb so I'm gonna have to make this thing blend in and to do that I'm gonna need a really good disguise and the best way to make a disguise is to study the environment so I went to the most public place I could find to get some ideas and inspiration for my oh hello who a

re you whose dog is this yeah so anyway I needed ideas for a perfect disguise so I studied the public park and gathered as much information as I possibly could and once I had a ton of data written down I rushed back to the shop to start planning my genius plan foreign s of this notebook were incredible it held secrets of the universe and thoughts I couldn't even begin to think but after a long day of planning I had planned the most amazing plan Academy family how long have you been sitting there

longer than you but dude check this out what is it just the perfect disguise for my secret arcade go on just a mediocre brick building with some electrical boxes and a water fountain no one will suspect the thing huh that's pretty cool but uh where are you gonna get a water fountain [Music] oh dude this is gonna be perfect yeah now I just need to find some electrical boxes where are you gonna find those okay so I did some things I wasn't proud of but I finally had everything I needed to finish

this thing and it was until I realized I forgot the most important part okay so this is supposed to look like a brick building but I can't exactly do that if I don't have bricks where are you gonna get those foreign [Music] nobody's gonna question it there's only one way to find out and that would be to build a smaller version of the thing that I'm building and bring it on out to the public and hide in it to see if anyone notices look [Music] I don't think anyone notices I'm here like a ninja li

ke a duck Ninja brick building [Music] and one suspects a thing I've been out here for like two hours I think it's working so it was safe to say the bricks were a go all right now it's time to get serious this was probably the biggest thing that I had ever built I mean it literally filled the entire garage which honestly feels pretty cool how many people can say that they built an entire building in their garage probably not too many but it was around this time when I remembered that I had to do

something that I really didn't want to do I had to reach out to my friends and I had to invite them out to hang in this arcade but I knew they were gonna say no I knew that they'd have some excuse but I had to try yo what's up man yo I just wanted to invite you and Carrie to my secret arcade this weekend an arcade really yeah dude it's it's gonna be sick you guys are gonna love it I think we're good man I think we're good really yeah we spent all our money on games so we're gonna play those but

I didn't even tell you guys the best part I'm giving away 10K to whoever can be the chess machine it's a lot of DLC we'll be there oh yeah I got him this was gonna be great what did I just do why did I just say that I don't have 10K and I certainly don't have an arcade chess machine oh and to make matters worse I looked it up turns out arcade chess machines don't even exist but I was in too deep at this point I got myself into this mess it was up to me to get myself out of it 10K okay I'll be t

here I'll give you an hour yeah I guess I'll come sounds great I'll see you there now before I start disguising the outside I gotta take care of a pretty crucial detail this arcade doesn't have any games and as you can imagine arcade games are not very cheap so I had to find some other games for a hefty discount on the internet but even the cheapest games I could find weren't that affordable oh no what's wrong I got all the games picked out for my arcade but they're just so expensive I don't hav

e that kind of money I mean there's got to be something you can do to come up with the money dude I don't know I've been working all day I'm totally exhausted I think I'm just gonna go to bed I'll deal with this in the morning [Music] what are you doing I did it I got all the money and I ordered all the games what how I've been up all night fulfilling orders on our Shopify store dude I'm so confused last night when you went to bed I went to the gym to get a quick pump I saw myself in the mirror

and I realized I should totally be doing modeling so I threw on some of your merch and I had a little photo shoot the pictures came out so good I decided to rebuild your merch store and because Shopify is such an easy to use all-in-one Commerce platform building the merch site was a total Breeze yeah I remember not knowing anything about making an online business but Shopify made it super simple not to mention they also make it so easy to sell across all major platforms yeah man and ever since t

he revamp the sales will be coming in like crazy Can you feel it feel what our sponsor Shopify Powers more entrepreneurs than anyone else in the world I don't think that's what they meant tell me you can feel it I don't feel anything say it no say it tell me who can feel it fine fine I can feel it great now using the link in the description you can build your own business using Shopify today there was still so much work to do so I quickly buttoned up the outside to complete the walls and I ended

up with no way to get inside the room and I also ended up with no way to get outside of the room uh dude can you let me out uh yeah just a sec [Music] so when it comes to secret rooms the door is the most important part we can't just install a door the door has to blend in and not look like a door at all kind of like this nothing to see here just a regular brick wall oh what's this a secret entrance okay this is absolutely insane and we ain't even close to being done foreign oh dude I just real

ized something what's up when I take the arcade out to the public I'm not gonna have a way to power all this stuff and I still don't have a chess game all right how about you take care of the power situation and I'll find us a chess game solid idea [Music] yo yo what up you know Jenny Jenny Jenny Jenny Jenny Jenny Jenny Jenny Jenny Jenny Jenny Jenny Jenny Jenny what do you think I'm saying I think you're saying Jenny yeah Jenny Jenny yeah what's up well it turns out she used to be a professional

chess player left on my blessings I feel like I'm falling what yeah so I got a crazy plan hear me out so you don't have a chess game yeah and you don't have 10K correct well there's a way to play chess online okay so you set up your phone in the arcade as a game so people can play chess go on so your friends will think that they're just playing against a computer but they're really playing against Jenny across the country he says she's a professional chess player no one will win and if no one w

ins no one gets the 10K dude this is incredible you saved the entire operation I guess it's true when they say that not all heroes wear capes [Music] dear diary no one has said a thing about my new Cape it was time to finish this once and for all I had a plan in motion and I was finally gonna hang out with my friends not only in a really cool arcade but in a secret arcade just for us and with unlimited games foreign [Music] dude we gotta go you go I can't oh by the way the car needs gas [Music]

[Music] so my secret arcade was blending with the Park's environment flawlessly and no one and I mean no one suspected a thing [Music] dude this place is too legit my friends are gonna lose their minds when they see this and lose their minds they did how did you make this yeah it was a total hit and the guys loved it it's hard to believe that this arcade is literally in the middle of a public park because on the inside we were working outside it's like we weren't even there yet we were having th

e time of our lives it's the best arcade I've ever been to where's that uh where's that chess game right the chess game tensions were starting to rise in the secret arcade first up was Hunter who has never played chess before so I'm not even sure why he showed up for this but yeah he lost miserably next up was Brad who was also inexperienced in chess so he was no match for Jenny Isaac I was a little worried about because he plays chess all the time but Jenny's a professional and there was no way

she was gonna go down that easy now lastly was Isaiah now he's the one I'm worried about he's no Pro but he's kind of obsessed so obsessed that he taught his dog how to play chess so he's got dedication in Jenny well Jenny was struggling and to be honest things weren't looking good he actually had a solid chance of winning this thing and if he wins I'm toast because I don't have 10K but there was nothing I could do at this point it was completely out of my hands it was all up to Jenny and then

I couldn't believe it come on Jenny won the plan worked and most importantly I got all my friends together now were they all super mad when they found out that I rigged the whole chess game to get them here of course but you know as you get older everyone gets busy and holding on to friendships takes a lot more work than it used to but you either put the effort in or you spend a lot of time alone and that is all I got thank you
