## Transcript

>> So, I'm sitting now with Victor de Leon, a. k. a. Lil Poison and he's just the got Gold in Halo 3 10- 0. It's a little embarrassing. So, tomorrow, Victor is going after the Guinness World Record in Madden to score the most points, right? In single game?

>> Yup.

>> And what's the most points you've scored before?

>> Well, it's one quarter in five minutes and gets reversed to Pittsburgh Steelers.

>> So, how many hours a day do you play video games?

>> I play two hours a day.

>> You're telling me earlier that your dad has a rule about video games, and what is it?

>> Yeah, if I don't get good grades, my internet gets shut off.

>> Yeah.

>> Or my Xbox 360 gets taken away.

>> And have either of those things happened? No? That's good. Do you wanna play some more Halo? Do you wanna play Madden? You wanna play some Super Mario Brothers Wii?

>> Which one do you wanna get destroyed at?

>> Which one do I wanna get destroyed at, that's embarrassing. Well, you hardly beat me 10- 0. Do you wanna play again with someone else from Techland? You might be a little bit better at Halo than me. Yeah?

>> Sure.

>> Oh, my glasses.

>> Wow.

>> I don't need them. I don't need my glasses. Oh, I can't wait but maybe I do. Let's do Snowbound. I got this. I got this. This is going well. I have pretty much gotten [ unk ].

>> Down [ unk ].

>> Yes. So, well, I've just been beaten by Victor. He was 11-- let me read that one more time. The next time you come around, I will practice, I will practice a little bit more. All right. Good luck, man.
