What happens when you get 4 people at the end of a busy workday in to play a simple game that could last hours? One word: Hilarity. Now, this isn’t some sort of ridiculous comedy skit, but a “Let’s Play” video that ended up lasting for well over 2 hours. Members of the popular “Achievement Hunter” YouTube channel uploaded a video on December 1st, 2016 simply called “Uno: The Movie”. A massive video of Achievement Hunter members Ryan Haywood, Gavin Free, Jeremy Dooley, Geoff Ramsey, playing the video game version of the popular card game “Uno”. Gavin had set the matches’ point limit to 500, much to the dismay of his co-workers, as close matches of the game can sometimes net less than 100 points. The result is 164 minutes (A whopping 2 hours and 44 minutes) of four guys playing Uno. As an added element to the fours’ already interesting predicament, Gavin decided to modify the rule set in order to make the games more interesting. If one plays a “7” card, the person that played it can switch hands with another player, and if a “0” card is played, then all the hands are given to the person next to them (In the direction of play). This makes for some hilarious moments during the movie, as at one point, Geoff had amassed around 17 cards, before playing a 7, and giving them all to Gavin, only having around 4. The resulting next plays involve the monster hand being shuffled around between the other players, before eventually getting whittled down into a more reasonable size. A highlight of the movie comes around about an hour and a half into the movie, were Ryan must leave the office in order to go home and visit his wife. In order to fill in his spot for the game, co-worker, who is also sometimes referred to as Ryan’s voice double, Jack Patillo is brought in, and upon taking Ryan’s spot, immediately criticizes the other three for choosing Uno over the myriads of other games they have to play. The next hours plays out as one would expect, with players amassing cards and eventually playing off, finally, at the end of the whole ordeal, Gavin Free is eventually crowned the winner, and the all members proceed to scream with relief and joy. The “movie” was quickly loved by the Achievement Hunter community, and fans of the movie were able to not only create a page on popular movie curating site IMBD, but also rate the movie to the point where it came the highest rated comedy “film” on the site. I would try to write an honest review of Uno: The Movie, but I’ll be honest, there’s not much to review. I’ve been a fan of Achievement hunter for over five years, and this video was as fun and comical as ever. It’s always fun to watch the members of AH suffer in the creative ways that they do, and the chemistry between the members of the channel are as entertaining as always (especially the Gavin/Geoff duo that has been one of the staples of the channel). If you have nearly 3 hours to spare, maybe at an airport or on a long drive, and you want something to kill the monotony of it, it might be a good way to kill the time.
