Video Game Wizards

Video Game Wizards is the nineteenth episode of season three (and fifty-ninth episode overall) of Regular Show.

Synopsis
Mordecai and Skips enter a video game competition for the "Maximum Glove". Meanwhile, Rigby repeatedly tries to convince Mordecai to enter him in instead of Skips.

Plot
Mordecai and Rigby see a commercial for a video game tournament called the Game Inferno Tournament at the Ferguson Convention Center, the prize being a gaming controller called The Maximum Glove. Rigby is excited and Mordecai is apathetic, trying to dissuade Rigby from the tournament because he already picked Skips as his partner. Rigby finds out and is shattered by Mordecai's choice. He grudgingly accepts Mordecai's invitation for him to watch them play.

The three take a roadtrip in Skips' Volkswagen. Throughout the trip, Rigby aggressively targets Mordecai for not picking him. Rigby even went to the extent of making a Mix-Tape with a song he recorded himself, Never Pick Their Friends. He also made matching shirts, one of which was obviously made for himself, but he gives it to Skips anyway. The night before the tournament, Rigby blasts Never Pick Their Friends from a boombox outside of the hotel they are all staying at, much to Mordecai's grief.

On the first day of the tournament, Mordecai puts Rigby's name down as the alternate during registration. This infuriates Rigby and the two fight in the middle of the center. Mordecai admits that he did not pick Rigby because he is terrible at video games. Rigby ends their friendship and remarks to Mordecai: "I hope you have as much fun winning the glove as you did losing your best friend." Skips conveys his disappointment in Mordecai after Rigby storms away.

Mordecai and Skips win every match in the tournament up until the final match again Fred and Jimmy, where Mordecai comes to the realization that his friendship with Rigby is more important than the glove. Skips purposely injures his hand so that Rigby can come into play. Soon Rigby began to play but loose most of his life points. Rigby soon realize that Mordecai was right about him being bad at video games and now they are gonna lose the game because of him. Mordecai reaffirms to Rigby that their friendship is more important than the glove when they are teleported into a dark room with the Glove Creature, a gigantic version of the Maximum Glove. The Glove Creature tells the friends that they are the first to realize the true meaning of gaming and gives them the power to defeat Fred and Jimmy.

When they are teleported back to the tournament, Mordecai and Rigby are morphed into one person. They win the game, destroy the room, and the crowd cheers and claps for them. The game referee crowns them the new Game Inferno Tournament winners and give them the Maximum Glove. Mordecai, Rigby and Skips return home to discover that the Maximum Glove is useless when Rigby started to play it, but his character doesn't move.
