The Chess Master was the first video ever made by Bacon Strip Empire, with only 3 members at the time, Taran, Allison, and Calen. It is where several trends started in the Empire, such as someone dying, the song Mind Heist, and general stupidity. Here Taran is pictured in one of our first clips filmed in the history of the Empire.

Here, Calen is seen showing off his chewed-up Cheez-Its. This is where the idea for the Cheez-It Tournament originated.
