Starting point is 00:00:00 Right. This is part two. Part three of part two. Because we're having a nice little chat about video games. But it was all for nothing. It was all for nothing because I forgot to record it. It was gold as well. Just absolute gold.

Starting point is 00:00:48 before in your life and then I'll disparage it in some respect and make you look like a prick and then we'll move on to Paul you never make me look like a prick I do
Starting point is 00:00:56 anyway well the cheap show where are the credits I fucking did it again I meant roll the music cue the music cue the music do it

Starting point is 00:01:46 Hello Eli Silver Welcome to Geek Show I'm not going on Nuzzle So there you go That's that Energy people Energy
Starting point is 00:02:00 Energy people It's really hot It's really fucking hot. At least this time it missed out on my strop when I went out because... It missed out on your strop when you went out? Went to get a drink because you were talking about food and I was getting pissed off about your bowels. And the mouth.
Starting point is 00:02:14 To be fair, it's probably best I didn't talk about your bowels. Yes. Last night, when it was really hot, I had to go and... Well, I didn't have to, but I did. I went to an immersive theatre thing where I had to crawl through a minibar. That's right. It was a escape room or something. That was how you got out, through a minibar.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Well, no, it was, we had to, it started out, the whole point was you were in a hotel that supposedly had been shut down because a serial killer had turned it into a murder hotel. Happens more often than you think. And we checked into our rooms and then we gradually realised that
Starting point is 00:02:50 the only way to get out of our room is to communicate with the other rooms by calling them up because we all had like the code for a safe to sounds cool it does sound it was sort of it was a bit shit but we had a it wasn't remotely scary,
Starting point is 00:03:06 which that was the whole point. I mean, part of the reason it wasn't scary was because there was this bloke in a mask who was, as it turned out, about 12. He was supposedly a murder victim and a ghost. And he kept coming in and threatening us. And it was just funny. Because he was like,
Starting point is 00:03:21 Good looking, mister. I'm here to kill you. He basically was. When he took this mask off he was like really we're meant to be scared of you
Starting point is 00:03:28 get him in the headlock give him a nuggie but yeah but there was a lot of crawling through holes
Starting point is 00:03:34 under beds because lots of secret passages oh so you had to escape the hotel and the serial
Starting point is 00:03:42 killer called Timmy was chasing you it was just chaos it was like no one really knew what was going on in one bit
Starting point is 00:03:49 we were in this room full of dirty laundry and the laundry had like vomit and semen stains it said on there it said what was stained on there
Starting point is 00:03:56 what do you mean house of pickles I'm imagining there's no vomit or semen stain semen yeah so anyway you were in the laundry yeah and we had to I can't even remember There's no vomit or semen stain. Semen. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:05 So anyway, you were in the laundry room. Yeah, yeah. And we had to, I can't even remember what we were doing in there. I was getting a bit distracted by that point. Because of the dirty pants. Well, yeah, it was like hanging up everywhere. It was like a maze of dirty laundry hanging up everywhere. How did I get on to talking about this?
Starting point is 00:04:21 I can't remember. Oh, because it was hot. We're hot. And I said I was hot last night because I was crawling through crannies. Awful name for a cranny. I'll be honest with you. Awful name. Was that a bad name for a hole?
Starting point is 00:04:34 Yeah, a bad name for a hole. Oh, I was at crannies last night. Oh, they're tight. Lots of people are in there. You give holes a bad name. You give holes a bad name. Bond. Hole of E. No. name. Bond. Holvy.
Starting point is 00:04:47 No. Holbo Jolevy. It's really hot today still. I'm just saying that. I'm in my shorts, which means I'm exposing my bare legs. Are you in shorts today? I do not wear shorts, Paul. I thought I've seen you in shorts. I've got my new DMs on, which are really hot. I shouldn't have been wearing those. You should have worn a nice flip-flop.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Yeah, a thong, as they call them in America thong for thong thong thong I've yes but I have changed to my summer footwear which is sneakers oh
Starting point is 00:05:12 oh oh I saw this became Queer Eye for the straight guy it's like oh it's nice what are you wearing there's a new version
Starting point is 00:05:21 that everyone loves isn't it it's just called Queer Eye get a lot more plot in steal a gag from bottom so what is it like loves isn't it it's just called Queer Eye get a lot more plot in steal a gag from bottom so what is it like a a sitcom no it's like
Starting point is 00:05:29 it's five guys the sitcom version of Queer Eye there is literally straight guys who get advice homosexual men turn up and say
Starting point is 00:05:36 we can make you look better or prettier but don't don't they just end up looking gay what does looking gay mean though well don't you know
Starting point is 00:05:44 gay fashion. Homo sapiens. Kind of a... Yeah, feathers. Is that what you... Yeah, feather boas. Yeah. Looking like Daddy LaRue.
Starting point is 00:05:50 You know, like huge lapels. No! Leather harnesses. Yeah. No, not at all. Do you know? Some of the episodes are quite... Leather caps.

Starting point is 00:06:23 our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our our quiz working in the fashion industry why is it assumed that gay blokes
Starting point is 00:06:30 you know what I mean I think it's all very problematic I think nothing is too much about it not all gay men are great at dressing no I've got a mate
Starting point is 00:06:38 who just literally wears hoodies and he's gay does he work it not really it's hoodies and facelift bottoms he wears
Starting point is 00:06:47 oh well I mean I just think it's an idea for a show yeah but you know it's problematic rolls off the tongue
Starting point is 00:06:53 queer eye for the straight guy it's problematic in that you know we're being rude oh rolls off the tongue I don't think
Starting point is 00:07:01 it's problematic it might have been in the early 2000s when the show first came out because the whole idea was all gay people dress nice so you can't dress nice Mr Straight Man but now it's problematic. It might have been in the early 2000s when the show first came out. Because the whole idea was, well, gay people dress nice, so you can't dress nice, Mr. Straight Man. But now it's a bit different. The playing field has changed.
Starting point is 00:07:10 I almost find it insulting that as a straight man, or asexual, last few years. Yeah. Asexual what? Anyway, welcome to Cheap Show. We're talking about video games at some point. Okay. Briefly, I said earlier before I forgot to record everything
Starting point is 00:07:26 because I'm deeply professional. Name me a game that you first fell in love with. What was the first game you fell in love As I said before
Starting point is 00:07:31 Paul it was Game and Watch version of Donkey Kong which I think is the original version of Donkey Kong right? No. The arcade was first
Starting point is 00:07:40 okay. And then everything was a spin off afterwards. Yes which I think is just a perfect toy and it's just a brilliant thing. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 00:07:46 I never played it. I had a few handhelds, but I always had the grandstand ones. Oh, yeah. Astro Wars. Does that count? That counts as a game I fell in love with. It's valid.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Yeah, of course it is. It's a game and you play with it and you fell in love with it. Yes. Yeah, it's fine. Okay, good. What about yours? To be honest,
Starting point is 00:08:04 how much play can you get out of Donkey Kong? I've always wondered about this. It's fine. Okay, good. Good. What about yours? To be honest, how much play can you get out of Donkey Kong? I've always wondered about this. It was loads. Loads. That's why you've got the King of Kong in all of this. A game, B game, which is slightly different.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Yeah, and what's his name? Who's the guy? Billy. Billy Mitchell. He has been struck from the records. He's been shamed. Yeah, good. Game shamed.
Starting point is 00:08:21 You should go back to EastEnders. He's been struck from the records that's it he used an emulator to produce some of those scores well I don't know
Starting point is 00:08:31 the science of it all I know is that if you want to spend a lot of time being really good at Donkey Kong very little pity for you
Starting point is 00:08:37 if you lose your record he's an intercell yeah he has hot sauce doesn't he he's famous for his hot sauce Benny Mitchell
Starting point is 00:08:44 yeah he sells hot sauce and I think he uses famous for his hot sauce yeah he sells hot sauce and I think he uses branding on it he shouldn't do because I've seen like Pac-Man on the bottles
Starting point is 00:08:50 I bet that's not allowed Namco won't want that unless he's got a deal with it maybe I don't know should get some hot sauce for the show
Starting point is 00:08:58 we've got hot sauce we haven't done we've got Billy Mitchell's we haven't got Billy Mitchell's we'd love to have some of Billy Mitchell's hot sauce
Starting point is 00:09:04 we could taste it on sauce we could taste it on some we could taste it on some mushroom flavoured crisps oh that'd be nice yeah I'm going to look up
Starting point is 00:09:11 Billy Mitchell hot sauce oh there's even a review but we'll forget that Billy Mitchell's hot sauce review two out of five stars
Starting point is 00:09:21 on Amazon that's not high is it no I'm surprised he didn't get on there and fake those review scores. I bet it's people who hate him because he's a cheating bastard.
Starting point is 00:09:28 He calls himself Ricky on his branding, though. What? He's called Billy Mitchell's, parentheses, Ricky's Hot Sauce Review. And, you know, there he is. There he is with his American tie. He's got a brand, though, hasn't he? Look at him with his dyed beard and... Yeah, he's got that look.
Starting point is 00:09:46 He's the video game Noel Edmonds. That's what I like to think. He's got that going on for him. He should have a Mr Blobby. Although they rate it 3 out of 5 here. Ricky's is a sauce that doesn't run with the bad boys that have you chugging milk with your nose running. It's busy hanging out with the good old srirachas,
Starting point is 00:10:01 Frank's Red Hot or Tabasco. It's a sauce you put on food, not in food. It's a condiment. That said, it doesn't do enough to differentiate itself from others in its class. If you had to compare it, something between Frank's and Chulula? Chulula.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Chulula is a good source. Two very popular sauces that have actually killed it. I love my Frank's. Ricky's is unremarkably decent, but chances are it'd be on no one's mind if they didn't have
Starting point is 00:10:28 a tangential namesake of Billy Mitchell it's bullshit what they're saying I can sum up the review this Billy
Starting point is 00:10:34 Mitchell's Ricky's hot sauce is bullshit and to that that it's much harder to find without forking
Starting point is 00:10:39 over too much money just so you can review it for a video games forum three out of five stars
Starting point is 00:10:43 very bitter at the end of that there you't well maybe we'll try and get billy mitchell's hot sauce and compare it with the hot sauces you got well i've uh brought back some very lovely hot sauces paul from the states including yukata which is a great brand and they have several varieties including one that i have tasted Reserve, which is a black hot sauce. Oh, they're normally bad, aren't they? As in hot. It's hot, but it's smoky as fuck, man. And it's Special Reserve.
Starting point is 00:11:13 And they're not fucking around. It is Special Reserve. Is that like the kind of champagne of hot sauce? It is very, very nice. Oh, I've never had one. And they also,ucata did XXX Picante sexy
Starting point is 00:11:27 so they've got one but it's meant to be there I bought a bottle of their most hot basically so I'm going to see how it stands up to the other ones
Starting point is 00:11:33 that say you know fucking madness or whatever they've got you know huge ass kicking yeah
Starting point is 00:11:38 hot sauce I saw a video of a guy who filled up a bath of hot sauce and then submerged himself in it and then screamed non-stop
Starting point is 00:11:45 did it? yeah because it was it is a stupid thing to do for hits on a YouTube channel and this guy did it and frankly good
Starting point is 00:11:51 good I'm glad it hurt it must have been especially his knob end that hurt yeah the tip and they're circumcised out there
Starting point is 00:11:59 yeah they all are he got a full throb he got a hot meter would that would that be worse though that you're circumcised? Because if you got it trapped under the skin... Yeah. It wouldn't be worse,
Starting point is 00:12:11 because circumcision leads to desensitisation over the lifespan as well. There you go. I think if you've got the skin... When we have the uncut crown... Are you uncut, by the way? Oh, fuck off. You know this.
Starting point is 00:12:22 I don't. You know this. Yes, I am uncut. Oh, I could. Okay, got a problem with that? No, I don't., by the way. Oh, fuck off. You know this. I don't. You know this. Yes, I am uncut. Oh, I could. Okay, got a problem with that? No, I don't. I was just wondering. I thought your knowledge came from experience.
Starting point is 00:12:30 You want to fucking talk about it? All right, let's talk about your uncircumcised penis. It's a beaut. Is it? Yes. What small thing is it like on top of a big thing? It is like, Paul, it is like the nostril hair of a gnat sitting on top of Jules Verne's balloon
Starting point is 00:12:48 as he went around the world in 80 days right okay that's a great one did Jules Verne have a balloon no he must have at some point
Starting point is 00:12:54 he used different methods to get around Jules Verne was a writer oh no Julius Fogg was the guy who went around writing about so get your fucking
Starting point is 00:13:01 analogies it's like a microscopic hair of an insect sitting on top of Julius Fogg's balloon aww it's like a microscopic hair of an insect sitting on top of Phileas Fogg's balloon aww it's like a
Starting point is 00:13:08 seagull's tongue atop Jeremy Clarkson's belly that's good thank you what's your most loved game the first game
Starting point is 00:13:15 you fell in love with because we'll talk about that soon we just will probably Star Wars the arcade game

Starting point is 00:13:30 Obi-Wan Kenobi in your ear going I remember seeing it but it always felt really scary that game to me I was in Star Wars once I was in that
Starting point is 00:13:36 did it move no did any cabinet move yeah but not the Star Wars it was back too early on but you had a nice kind of joystick
Starting point is 00:13:44 that was like like an X-Wing yeah and a nice kind of joystick that was like a sort of... Like an X-Wing cockpit. Yeah. And is it the trench one stuff? There's a bit of that in there and there's also fighting with TIE fighters. Why don't I remember this? It's a classic. It is a great game.
Starting point is 00:13:54 I remember that. One of the greatest video games of all time. The only arcade games I ever remember seeing when I went was... I played Temple of Doom, obviously Street Fighter, Turtles, the fighting Turtles game, and the Simpsons game. They're the ones that stick in my mind more than anything else. I can't remember the huge...
Starting point is 00:14:08 What about Tron? Tron? Yeah, Discs of Tron. I like Tron. I like the arcade Tron. Life Cycles. Was that like a Vectrex-y thing? No.
Starting point is 00:14:17 No, it was what? I had the Tron, I can't remember which one it was, there were two Tron arcade games. Oh, there were two. And it had a really cool cabinet that was all kind of, you know, like black light. Yeah, it was one were two Tron arcade games and it was had a really cool cabinet that was all kind of you know like black light
Starting point is 00:14:26 yeah it was one of the sexiest and you could play the different games that are in the movie yeah if you could have
Starting point is 00:14:33 any arcade cabinet of all time in your house which one would you go for oh god that's hard well ignore that that's the question

Starting point is 00:14:53 he's scratched on the nibble jaw. You'd be uncircumcised when he'd finish with that. Anyway. Anyway. This is a traumatic episode. Gnaw it off. Imagine you woke up and that was in your knob
Starting point is 00:15:08 it was in my knob yeah mate it'd be fucking terrifying to have the there's a mummified mole coming out my meters I read this morning that human beings
Starting point is 00:15:19 should be considered only 43% human because the rest of because all the bacteria and animals that live in us make up 57% of what we are. Yes. And the outnumber, the bacterial cells outnumber
Starting point is 00:15:34 the cells. Yeah. Ooh. Yeah. But then if you start saying that, then you say all mammals. Well, yeah. You know what I mean? It doesn't need to be just that. And plus, the hippopotamuses have those birds that live on their backs so
Starting point is 00:15:46 yeah yeah oh I'd love that it all goes back to it all goes back to you should become a pirate well a pirate
Starting point is 00:15:53 but then get yourself a parrot nah it's a parrot they're just for talk but I can ponds I love parrots parrots are vibrant look at the mole

Starting point is 00:16:30 Golf Links Zelda the Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening don't go no no no me it's a particularly
Starting point is 00:16:36 legitimate title and it told me it showed me that games could be more than just platformers it was a whole world of discovery and adventure
Starting point is 00:16:42 great world building it was really good world building and I like the fact that you could steal from the shop by running around the man with the item that you picked up
Starting point is 00:16:49 but if you left and came back in he'd kill you instantly so you could never shop there again wow just like in real life just like in real life I had a corner shop
Starting point is 00:16:55 and I stole from there once and I ran around the shop owner a few times and ran out the stop with a copy of Beano and when I went in there the next time he used dark magics
Starting point is 00:17:02 to destroy me have you ever shoplifted like when you were a child yeah when I was about eight I think I wanted to get my mum a present and I had no money so I stole a little
Starting point is 00:17:10 porcelain whale from a place in Macunthlyth you're like Robin Hood so you did I've been there yeah

Starting point is 00:17:31 in cunt you're a cunt I've shoplifted we've reached peak cunt I was put off shoplifting at a very young age
Starting point is 00:17:42 I was in a shop with my friend in Devon South Malton that's when you used to have the 1p the cola bottles and everything
Starting point is 00:17:48 all out and my friend went oh I'm going to have one yeah and then I thought oh oh I'm nervous
Starting point is 00:17:56 I'll go for this one that's got half of half of one yeah and as I picked it up a fucking woman saw me and I had to run out of the shop and it wasn't very good
Starting point is 00:18:04 no did you cry yes yeah I cried even though I got away with my robbery And as I picked it up, a fucking woman saw me and had to run out of the shop and it wasn't very good. No. Did you cry? Yes. Yeah. I cried. Even though I got away with my robbery. And it really put me off.
Starting point is 00:18:10 When I did it twice. Look at him. Yeah, I know. I'm a career criminal. But it was always with this, I had this mate at school called Stuart Moore who insisted that everyone
Starting point is 00:18:21 called him Mungy. And he was like, if you called him Stuart, he'd insist that you correct it him Mungy. And he was like, if you called him Stuart, he'd insist that you correct it to Mungy. I bet that didn't last long when he got to teenagers. Yeah, probably not. Actually, I was going to tell a story about him that I heard. But I won't.
Starting point is 00:18:37 He probably upset Michael Connabiers. On his friends growing up. Wow. They can't defend themselves. We stole some refreshers from news agents and then got away with it got away with that
Starting point is 00:18:48 and then the next time we went back I didn't want to because I thought we pushed it far enough just one more jab just one more jab allowed
Starting point is 00:18:54 keep pulling me back in Mongi insisted and we were in there and the shop owner knew that we were up to something so Mongi turned around to him and said
Starting point is 00:19:04 we're not stealing anything you know. Oh, clever though. Clever. Very good. Double bluff. But he did. He's got like a big double go. Curly whirlies.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Followed us around the shops. No, we didn't do it. Trailing foam prawns. Yeah. What did you have your eye on? What was the big job? For some reason, it was always refreshers. I'm not a fan of refreshers. If you're listening to the show and you've committed a crime in the name of refreshers, reason it was always Refreshers. I'm not a fan of Refreshers.
Starting point is 00:19:25 If you're listening to the show and you've committed a crime in the name of Refreshers, please do get in touch with us. And we'll form a Refreshers help centre. Help group. Treeboar. They were the ones, weren't they? They did. They made a treeboar mint sour minty bit stronger.

Starting point is 00:19:48 then we arrange yes and what is tree ball spelt backwards robot Robert Robert is that actually a thing
Starting point is 00:19:55 I think so I don't know if that's why they called it it was just that was so Robert I like the idea it was probably started
Starting point is 00:20:01 by a time traveller known as Robert who there was a time traveller called tree ball wasn't there probably started by a time traveller known as Robert who there was a time traveller called Trebor wasn't there there was never a time traveller

Starting point is 00:20:54 during 2000 and 2001 of a poster claiming to be an American military time traveller from the year 2036 there's also a great urban legend story
Starting point is 00:21:02 as well of a guy who gets off a plane at the airport and when he goes through passport checking, they look at his passport and it's like what's this? He goes, well this is the country I come from they went, no mate, so they take him into a room and he goes, no I'll show you on the
Starting point is 00:21:14 map where I'm from and he points to this place where his country should be and it's like, no it's the border of Spain and France and he goes, no no no it's, let me have a quick look for this because I want to get the story right he was lying. Yeah, he was having a prank. He was punking them.
Starting point is 00:21:30 The man from Tored, that's the right... Tored? That's the name of the country. T-A-U-R-E-D. So he goes, I come from this country called Tored. And he had a passport and he had papers. Wow. And so he goes, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:21:41 He was getting distraught and upset. And they went to check his details. They all look legit. But when they went back into the room an hour or two going on he was getting distraught and upset and they went to check his details they all looked legit but when they went back into the room an hour or two later he was gone I'll tell you what
Starting point is 00:21:49 would have freaked you out if you looked that up and the country was called Trebor the man from John Titor is the man from Trebor
Starting point is 00:21:58 who went back in time and invented sweets because he thought this is a good idea I know what I ought to do in the year 2034 there is no more sweets so I've gone back in time
Starting point is 00:22:07 to create extra strong nits. Finally all of the the classic chocolate bars were made in the 1930s. You said this fact last time we talked about it

Starting point is 00:22:27 you would have thought Aero was like a space age fancy modern chocolate from the 70s when lollipops were fashionable and spangles and other nostalgic things
Starting point is 00:22:37 that people like to go on about the goodies white dog poo white dog poo top of the pops I want a white dog poo t-shirt no

Why has everything got to be a football chant? You know what I mean? Cunts. Fucking hell, this world. I don'tunts. Fucking hell, this world.
Starting point is 00:26:45 I don't know. All right, well, that went to 0 to 60 quite quickly. So thank you for giving us an impromptu Tales from the Dance Floor. Fine. It's our pleasure. On Gannon's platter today, it's going to be a few selections from my mouth.
Starting point is 00:27:01 You've got records in your mouth. Is that what we have to take from this sometimes a sentence doesn't form quite as quickly in my head as I'd like it to vinyl in your mouth
Starting point is 00:27:11 yes vinyl in my mouth I have chosen a few tracks for us to listen to today and rate and review accordingly but because it's video games
Starting point is 00:27:19 I've picked three songs based on video games cool so wow we're going to listen to the first minute of this and then you can get... Paul's already had a little bit of a listen
Starting point is 00:27:29 so he knows the prizes. What is it? Well, I'm going to tell you the first one right now. The first one is possibly the most famous of the songs that released in the 90s to cash in on that craze. Because it was. The 90s was the craze for video games.
Starting point is 00:27:42 It was like the age of Games World and Games Master and the magazines and all that kind of stuff. You know. But you would have thought the the craze for video games? It was like the age of Games World and Games Master and the magazines and all that kind of stuff. You know, but you would have thought the biggest craze was when they first came out. But it wasn't, was it? Because they weren't very impressive.
Starting point is 00:27:53 There was a crash as well in 1983 where it all went tits up. Really? Why? What caused that? Because Atari basically shit the bed. Yeah. They made too many games and there were too many consoles
Starting point is 00:28:03 competing for each other. Yeah. And then E.T. had to be buried in the desert. Yes. they made too many games and there were too many consoles competing for each other yeah and then E.T. had to be buried in the desert yes and that was that was the
Starting point is 00:28:09 that was the nay dear was it for the whole industry it was but there have been subsequent crashes but don't ask me when they were they were always
Starting point is 00:28:17 peaks and troughs I think the first one came up well the next one came just after the Mega Drive and Super Nintendo from that whole
Starting point is 00:28:24 Jaguar period where no one was really getting the next generation it Super Nintendo from that whole Jaguar period where no one was really getting the next generation it was just yeah people just kept putting out shit yeah
Starting point is 00:28:29 you know your Mega Drive you love there's a fucking CD player on it you don't like that stick a Jaguar on the top you don't like that it's a massive
Starting point is 00:28:34 toy Jaguar stuck on the top there was like a toy real Jaguar the name of the console was Jaguar it sounds sexy and dangerous
Starting point is 00:28:42 Sega always named their consoles weird things Mega Drive's a good name or was Jaguar. Yeah, it sounds sexy and dangerous. Because Sega always named their consoles weird things. Mega Drive's a good name. Or Genesis. Jaguar wasn't Sega. Jaguar was Atari. I get it right, Paul. What was the Sega?
Starting point is 00:28:52 What was the one you could plug in? The 32 one? There was the 32X. There was Mega CD, 32X, and then there was Saturn, then the Dreamcast. Do you still want me for digitised the show? Because I'm beginning to think
Starting point is 00:29:03 everything's out of my mouth. This is exactly what I want you for. To be the fucking idiot. I'm basically playing Elo's fucking role. Oh, okay. Now, listen. At least I can talk properly.
Starting point is 00:29:14 True. I was thinking about you the other night, Paul. On your back? Oh, hello. Rubbing your belly. After I'm wanked off. I was thinking about you
Starting point is 00:29:23 in a non-sexual way. Shame. And I was thinking, you know what your-sexual way shame and I was thinking you know what your issue is with language and stuff and also getting dates wrong and everything yeah
Starting point is 00:29:29 is that you think I'll I'll do that thing that operation whatever it is think of the word do the math whatever
Starting point is 00:29:37 and then you don't do it you just assume you've already done it you kind of do you know what I'm getting at I kind of think I agree to mix that I skip some of the bits in between you skip things because you know what I'm getting at I kind of think I agree to make that I skip
Starting point is 00:29:45 some of the bits you skip things because you you don't actually ever follow through with the actual thing you have to do like remembering
Starting point is 00:29:51 the right word there are a lot of things I follow through with I'd like to follow through into your face anyway
Starting point is 00:29:59 it sounded like a threat and yet the words just on the words I'm highly aroused right now as well I'm a stalker I just wanted to say that please play the words, just all the words. And yet I'm highly aroused right now as well. I'm a stalker.
Starting point is 00:30:06 I just wanted to say that. Please, play the tune. Well, the first track, anyway, is probably the most popular of that era of video games in the 90s becoming songs. It's called Tetris by Dr. Spin, and it going to dig this. So So that was Dr. Spin in Tetris. Now, do you want to hear the most amazing fact about that song? Yes. That you've just looked up.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Actually, I knew this beforehand, to be fair. I only pulled this up for other... Is he sniffing the mole? I'm sniffing the mole. Don't sniff the mole. Go and lick the tip. It gives me shame. Don't lick the tip.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Can't go and tongue his mouth. Paul. It gives me shame. Don't lick the tip. Can't God tongue his mouth? Paul. It's all right. I'm putting it down, okay? I'm putting it... I've put the mole down. Okay? I've put it down.
Starting point is 00:31:38 I was going to say cunt. So, do you know who Dr. Spin was? Was it Timmy Mallet? No. I'm in the right book. Oh, I'm in the right? Was it Timmy Manet? No. I'm in the right group now, actually. Can I guess? Yes. Was it Simon Cowell?
Starting point is 00:31:50 No. What? He did Zig and Zag and Teletubbies and things like that. And the worst puppets of all, the two guys from London's Burning, which I've just forgotten the fucking name of. Puppets from London's Burning. Yeah. Robson and Genome.
Starting point is 00:32:03 No, Dr. Spin was Andrew Lloyd Webber oh my gosh and record producer Nigel Wright and it was 1992 hit single Lloyd Webber was
Starting point is 00:32:14 and still is more widely known as a composer of tepid musicals that's I've said it that's your embellishment
Starting point is 00:32:20 so Tetris itself I didn't know this actually was an early 1990s Eurodance cover of the most famous Game Boy game blah blah blah
Starting point is 00:32:26 taken from the Russian folk song Korobens yes it's a traditional arrangement I didn't know that I thought it was a
Starting point is 00:32:31 it's a traditional arrangement why it sounds so Russian-y I guess I know you're going to dig this they probably
Starting point is 00:32:38 you know thought what's the most Russian-y sounding thing that we wouldn't have to pay copyright on as well
Starting point is 00:32:43 that's a good point folk is a great place to go. Because there's a great documentary about the history of Tetris and how it's owned by Russia and how the guy who created it never saw a lot of money until much later on.
Starting point is 00:32:52 Yeah. Good documentary. I forgot the title of it. It's probably called Tetris Documentary. Has an interesting history of how it got to the UK and onto the Game Boy.
Starting point is 00:33:03 It's quite boring though. I'm not going to go into it. No, no, but wasn't it basically that they oversold it? They sold it to Nintendo and they sold it to Rupert Murdoch's game, the UK and onto the Game Boy it's quite boring though I'm not going to no no but wasn't it basically they oversold it they thought it was a Nintendo
Starting point is 00:33:07 and they thought it was a Murdoch game Mirasoft or something weird no it wasn't Murdoch it was
Starting point is 00:33:12 what's his face the bloke that fell off the yacht who's that fat guy who fell off the boat Bernard Sumner the other guy
Starting point is 00:33:19 who fell off the boat the mirror bloke I'm going to remember this fuckers name the mirror man it's the last thing I fucking do it was called
Starting point is 00:33:29 Robert Maxwell thank you hey we remembered shit that's like a proper nostalgia show can I tell a joke go on
Starting point is 00:33:37 why are people from Moscow always in a hurry don't know they're always rushing about oh fuck me can we keep that in the show it's a bit too Are people from Moscow always in a hurry? Don't know. They're always rushing about. Oh, oh, oh.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Fuck me. Can we keep that in the show? It's a bit too edgy. What's the leader of Russia's favourite musical song? What? Putin on the Ritz. Shut your face, you cunt. Thing is,
Starting point is 00:34:05 we're telling a joke, Paul. You have to do the set up in a language that people understand. You do a Russian joke. You do a Russian joke right now. All right.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Yeah. All right. What do you call... Yeah. What do you... Paul! Get it right. What do you call
Starting point is 00:34:22 a Russian army of all like robots with their minds connected? Paul. What are you doing, Jack? Who the fuck did a shout-out? Did you understand that, Paul? What's the answer then? I'll just do it again.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Make it more clear. What do you call a Russian army of robots whose minds are all connected? I don't know. The Borscht. That's all right, that, actually. Yeah. I just thought, that actually. Yeah. I just thought of that as well. It needs a knowledge of Star Trek.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Alright. Did you hear about that Russian film from the 80s about little monsters? It's called Kremlins. Yay! Any more? Barry, cry, eat your knob off. No, anyway, that song got to number six
Starting point is 00:35:04 in the UK shingles charts, way back when. In the 90s, that probably would net Mr. Lloyd Webber a good bit of a point. And apparently, you know, you said Timmy Mallet, Nigel Wright, who produced that song with Lloyd Webber, also went on to produce Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny It's that cut and paste production style. Yeah, they just drop in those beats
Starting point is 00:35:25 and those samples that oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah fucking hell man put the needle on the record you should put some oh yeah's in this
Starting point is 00:35:33 this episode oh yeah some 90s dance oh yeah's oh yeah you do an oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
Starting point is 00:35:43 that's the Russian one oh yes alright so You do an oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. That's the Russian one. Oh yes. Right, so, what did you think of it? I hate it. It's cynical. I hate Andrew Lloyd Webber. Fuck you. Fuck everyone.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Fuck that song. Fuck it. Out of ten? One. Shit. Cynical shit. I'm surprised you even gave it one based on that vitriolic it has to have one
Starting point is 00:36:06 I mean there's no there's no zero score no I guess that's fair enough what about you do you like it yeah I hated it as well
Starting point is 00:36:11 and I similarly hate Andrew Lloyd Webber because I was made to go and see Starlight Express once and it didn't live up to what I'd believed it was
Starting point is 00:36:21 it was just a load of fuckers on roller skates it's fine you can see that in fucking I don't know anywhere anywhere and it wasn't
Starting point is 00:36:28 yeah it wasn't exciting no and they're singing and he's horrible his horrible slimy face yeah he looks like
Starting point is 00:36:34 a rat's ass that woman Sarah Brightman yeah she uh yeah she's not with him anymore though
Starting point is 00:36:42 what oh no oh who's the weirdest looking I know we shouldn't body shame Poor girl. She's not with him anymore, though. What? Oh, no. Oh. Who's the weirdest looking? I know we shouldn't body shame composers, but Andrew Lloyd Webber or his brother, Julian Lloyd Webber. Yeah, but Julian Lloyd Webber has had a much more interesting musical output.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Has he? Yeah, he did all the kind of... Yeah, we're not interested in that. I don't know what that is, Paul. You're just sort of singing it. Didn't Julian Lloyd Webber do a load of songs in the 70s that were disco versions of orchestral pieces of music? Doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Just who's the weirdest looking? No, Andrew Lloyd Webber. Andrew. Because he looks like every single slug. Julian Lloyd Webber looks like Damien the Omen kid, grown up. Ooh. He looks like he was evil when he was a child.
Starting point is 00:37:23 He looks like that cheruby kind of evil face. He's got weird eyes. I don't like it. What? Do you fancy him? I don't fancy him. You want a crack? All right, well, then I'm going to give it two, because I remember I did buy the single.
Starting point is 00:37:36 You bought it? I bought it. On CD? Yeah. CD single. Yeah, and it had four different remixes on it. Talk about dead formats. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:43 CD single. Wow. Yeah, well, the only thing I didn't like about it was it forego the B-sides, by and large, CD single yeah talk about dead formats yeah CD single wow the only thing I didn't like about it was it forego the B-sides by and large for loads of remixes of the original track I have
Starting point is 00:37:51 Danny John Jewels is tongue-tied from Red Dwarf as a single and you think oh god it's bad but then you hear the four remixes on the CD with it
Starting point is 00:37:59 and it's like oh mate that's going to be those are going to be this is my little tip from the top yeah I reckon CD singles are going to become quite collectible.
Starting point is 00:38:06 You think? Yeah. Okay. Now, they're absolute dog shit. Dog shit. You can't give them away. But I think they will become collectible because it's a dead format
Starting point is 00:38:16 and it's sort of, you know, fair enough. Yeah, I bought it. But it's that whole thing about novelty records. You buy it because it's a novelty, but then you never listen to it again. Of course you don't. You almost buy it and never listen to it at all
Starting point is 00:38:25 well you say that though I bought Neil's Hole in My Shoe remember Neil from the other one I possess two copies that I listen to a lot I have that album
Starting point is 00:38:34 on vinyl as well yeah I've got the album it's a great piece the original tune is a great piece of Pop Psych by Traffic yeah it's a cover isn't it
Starting point is 00:38:42 that's right it's a cover of a song by Traffic yeah the whole album was really good first gig I ever went to was Neil
Starting point is 00:38:48 really yeah so he performed that album live yeah he did like as in a proper rock show it wasn't like a
Starting point is 00:38:53 comedy show I mean he did some funny stuff like getting caught up in the curtains did he have like other characters because I know
Starting point is 00:38:59 that on the album they have like Bechdor and French come in and do bits and bobs I would like to get hold of that LP Neil's heavy concept album.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Heavy concept album. If I can find it in my home I'll give you it. Well thanks Paul. Because you know I'm a nice like that. This is all getting a bit... I'm going to give it to because it's that time. Right. Okay. Next track. Now this is probably the most
Starting point is 00:39:21 well remembered after Tetris in terms of songs based on video games. It's called Ambassadors of Funk and Super Mario Land. Do you remember this? It goes like this. Welcome and enter the center of my Super Mario adventure My girl's trapped on the other side of town So I'm moving in leaps and bounds Folks around my way think it's strange
Starting point is 00:39:56 But there's a villain to blame Even my ma, she thinks I'm crazy But I got to rescue Daisy So that was Super Mario Land by M. Batson the Funk. Wow. What I didn't know is that it came from a whole album called Super Mario Land by Ambassadors of Funk Wow What I didn't know is it came from a whole album called Super Mario's Mobile Disco
Starting point is 00:40:49 or something weird like that It was called Mobile Disco It was all Nintendo licensed or compact disco Well it uses all the characters on the album sleeves and it looks legit
Starting point is 00:40:58 I didn't like the guitar bit I'll tell you what this website says Lost Media Archive It says Song was released in 92 So yeah About the same time as Tetris. In the early 90s, ambassadors of funk teamed up with Nintendo, okay,
Starting point is 00:41:10 to make a hip-hop album based on games in the Super Mario Bros. series. While the album was only released in Japan in 93, on March 21st, 1993, one song, called Super Mario Land, was released worldwide as a single on 7 and 12 inches, and on CD, and out of 2009, it was on iTunes. So there you go. And there was a video made where they went to some kind of Wild West fun park
Starting point is 00:41:29 and filmed it there with a guy in a Super Mario suit. Oh, fuck. But it's that weird thing where it's like the sample is completely disconnected from the beat of the song. Yeah, yeah. It's all just shoehorned in, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:41:40 It's so fucking weak, the lyrics. People say I'm crazy, but I'm just after Daisy. Yeah, yeah. I also want to know if there were actual were ambassadors, it's so fucking weak the lyrics people say I'm crazy but I'm just athedaisy yeah yeah I also want to know if there were actual were ambassadors
Starting point is 00:41:48 whether it was a bunch of ambassadors that got together and decided to make a band listen if they're the ambassadors of the funk
Starting point is 00:41:53 we're entering world war 3 you know what I mean it doesn't say if they were official ambassadors of funk well they weren't
Starting point is 00:42:01 I can tell you that now not in our eyes not in our eyes the closest they got to funk was probably when they didn't I can tell you that now not in our eyes not in our eyes the closest they got to funk was probably when they didn't wash their balls funky balls there's another band name
Starting point is 00:42:11 funky balls with a Z funky batwing oh I like that a sweaty batwing yeah the video was filmed for the song in Chessington World of Adventures
Starting point is 00:42:21 oh rock and roll nothing says funk and MC coolness yeah Chessington World of Adventures oh rock and roll nothing says funk and MC coolness yeah Chessington World of Adventures terrible
Starting point is 00:42:29 now but this is this we live in an era now where computer game music doesn't penetrate in the same way no because it's all
Starting point is 00:42:38 orchestral shite yeah it's just bland yeah it's like you know and they haven't got
Starting point is 00:42:44 kind of Hans Zemeckis or what I know is it Hans Zimmer and all that stuff all those people doing the soundtracks and that's the thing
Starting point is 00:42:51 video games want to be movies these days everything has to be movie like it's epic and orchestral we don't get nice little ditties
Starting point is 00:42:58 what was that platform Mario platform game for the Super NES oh there's loads Mario World Mario World was the main one and then the follow up was Yoshi's Island.
Starting point is 00:43:07 I love the music on those games. Yeah. That was like a real high point. Echoed when you went in the cage. Oh that was so
Starting point is 00:43:13 brilliant. It's those little touches. The drippy droppy in the cage. I love it. Absolutely love those games I have to say.
Starting point is 00:43:19 Yeah but the whole album is just full of samples from that game and other games and it's just with a little bit of sad rapping around it terrible, yeah, I mean hip hop I mean in the loosest, you know, possible
Starting point is 00:43:30 hip plop more like shit shit shit shit bum poo bum willy bum bum scum oh there you go, so what are we going to give that a score I like that less than the Tetris one though, yeah me too, really? score? I like that less than the Tetris one, though. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 00:43:45 Really? This is the thing, you gave the Tetris one so... Yeah. Although this did have... I've got happier memories of Mario Land. I have much, yeah. And that did bring... I mean, I love Tetris.
Starting point is 00:43:57 It brought back a bit more of a feel, a nostalgic glow, then. Well, because my first major console was a Game Boy, I think the first games I completed fully were Mario Land and DuckTales. They were my two big... Oh, good old DuckTales. That's got some of the best music in a video game. Was that a good video game? DuckTales?
Starting point is 00:44:12 Yeah. Brilliant. It's classic Capcom, so it's built on that whole Mega Man kind of style, but it's simpler for kids. To platformer? Yeah. Okay. But some of the music in it is beautiful.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Obviously, the one I always go on about is the moon theme, which is just beautiful. And every time I hear that arranged on a piano, you know, acoustically or with an orchestra, it is beautiful. Obviously the one I always go on about is the moon theme which is just beautiful and every time I hear that arranged on a piano you know acoustically or with an orchestra sounds great.
Starting point is 00:44:28 I got DuckTales Remastered for the Wii U. Yeah. Beautiful. Beautiful and there's all the scores fantastic for
Starting point is 00:44:33 it as well. Beautiful. Yeah lovely. So I can give it half a point half out of ten? You can give it half a point if you
Starting point is 00:44:38 want. Yeah. Half a point. Half a point. He's the guy who comes in and rates stuff. Half a point.
Starting point is 00:44:44 J.R. for point. J.R. for point. Is he a friend with Mic'd Up? Hello. point half a point he's the guy who comes in and rates stuff half a point J Arthur point J Arthur point is he a president marked up hello
Starting point is 00:44:49 that's what he sounds like I'm J Arthur point J Arthur going back to my point about you trying to
Starting point is 00:44:59 try to speak try to speak properly Paul yeah okay yes so I'd give it half a point half a point Try to speak. Try to speak properly, Paul. Yeah. Okay. Yes. So, I'd give it half a point.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Half a point. Stop it. Point five of a point. Okay, fine. And what would you like to do? Give it half a point? I'm going to give it a point and a half. Oh, a point and a half. I don't know why I'm going to find that amusing.
Starting point is 00:45:23 Stop. Half a point. It's not called point and a half. That was his know why I'm going to find that amusing. Arthur Point, he's not called Point and a Half. That was his sidekick. He's got like one eye. Oh, here comes Arthur Point and his friend, Point and a Half.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Yeah, there you go. We are making shit up here. Yeah, mate, we're all over it. Right, so here's the third and final track on Ganon's platter today. And this is, we're moving away from Nintendo
Starting point is 00:45:43 now, boys and girls. We're going on to Sega. And what would be Sega's biggest character? Street Fighter 2. You're wrong, you fucking idiot. It's Alex Kidd, you twank. I'm being silly. Was it Alex Kidd?
Starting point is 00:45:56 He was Sega's mascot. Wasn't Street Fighter 2 on Sega? That's right. He was basically Monkey, wasn't he? He was like, yeah. He was essentially, yeah, Monkey from Monkey Magic. I do not remember Alex Kidd.
Starting point is 00:46:05 His fist used to get big and he used to punch blocks. Okay. And he had big ears. Get a big fist on. Punch blocks. Get belly candy. Get treasure out of those blocks. Alex Kidd was, I think, mostly a home console and also maths assistant.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Street Fighter 2 was on Sega though well no it started in the arcades Capcom and then it was released for what SNES
Starting point is 00:46:32 and then it did eventually come to the Mega Drive but it wasn't as good did it I don't remember that they did do it on the Mega Drive and the Amiga
Starting point is 00:46:38 which was a famously bad version of it did it look pretty not really so there you go. No, we are going to get a song now from Sonic the Hedgehog.
Starting point is 00:46:48 This song is called Super Sonic by HWA featuring Sonic the Hedgehog and it's done off sounding like this. Thank you.na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na You get the gist. Whoa. They're all the same formula, basically, aren't they? Some shitty dance music.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Just take a dance beat, a classic dance beat or whatever, and just, yeah. I would say this one works better than the Mario one. Because the Mario one seems shoehorned into that. That is slightly better produced. And it's trance-ier, which means you can kind of get away with the kind of trance-y Sonic theme. It's slightly better produced.
Starting point is 00:48:35 And it's called Super Sonic. It's called Super Sonic. They lose points for that from me. What year do you think it was made in? 96 or something. Five or six. Three. I think it's later.
Starting point is 00:48:45 Two. Like all of them. It was a real glut. It was the golden year. Yeah. do you think it was made in? 96 or something 5 or 6 3 I think it's later 2 like everyone I'm saying all of them it was a real glut the golden years yeah the glut do you know what the 90s were terrible
Starting point is 00:48:52 for music terrible no that's not true yes they were what Ben Folds 5 first of all give me a fucking break
Starting point is 00:48:58 that's about your Britpop Britpop? bullshit garage all shit it's not just because you don't like it
Starting point is 00:49:04 Oasis are shit I'm not afraid to say it now. I'm saying it now. It's Blair. It's Suede. It's Jay. It's Shed 70.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Blair? Not Blair. Tony Blair. Anyway. Okay. Let's have some decades, right? For music.
Starting point is 00:49:18 Let's have some decades for music. Late 20th century. Whatever. Fuck Sonic. Yeah, he's done done he's had his moment he's a shitty little HWA the band
Starting point is 00:49:29 that sang this was hedgehogs with attitude I did try to get a mummified hedgehog to bring we've got a mummified mole though
Starting point is 00:49:38 can I just say it's fucking excellent look at this little one I couldn't find a hedgehog. We've identified his face area. Have you seen his teeth? He looks like a mole rat. I have.
Starting point is 00:49:52 I have. I have. This is upsetting to me. Look. Hedgehog with attitude. What, did you like it? No, I did not like it. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:50:02 It was shit. Right, here's some decades Paul the 50s the 60s the 70s the 80s and the 90s
Starting point is 00:50:08 what's at the bottom of that heap the 90s are at the bottom that's a tough one to be honest
Starting point is 00:50:16 though what are you emotionally tied to quite a lot of songs in the 90s I'm talking
Starting point is 00:50:22 about quality objective musical quality well that's across the board we're not objective people though how are we going to know well
Starting point is 00:50:27 you're objective objectionable person wordplay it's worse when two people fucking cite me at the same time no I was just yawning that's even worse
Starting point is 00:50:39 alright if I'm going to keep Keith with me forever so I'll get you to gag I would put 80s below the 90s always have it in my pocket I mean that would
Starting point is 00:50:47 that would be the only case to make based on personal taste that's a case you could make 70s and 60s yeah that's a case you could make alright happy alright there you go
Starting point is 00:50:55 2000s can fuck a fat chode yeah they've surely got to be at the bottom if you're going to do all the decades we didn't want to go into the 20th century
Starting point is 00:51:02 we're keeping well out of that muck the morass that quagmire quagmire quagmire's just a longer way of saying mire isn't it
Starting point is 00:51:12 yeah unnecessarily longer isn't that exciting do you know what is a quagmire yeah my pants a swamp a fetid swamp
Starting point is 00:51:23 I'll put Keith in there maybe he'll he'll moisturise he'll moisturise all his organs will moisten well on that fucking moment of
Starting point is 00:51:32 of clarity we need a mark we need a mark for the hedgehog one one one right happy bullshit we always say one what we learnt is
Starting point is 00:51:40 video games do not translate into pop hits very well no is that the end of that segment no Is that the end of that segment? That is the end of that segment. Do you want to say something witty?
Starting point is 00:51:48 No. Good. I can't. It's done. Oh, it's Cheap Show's big finale. I'm very proud to say I've been doing something and you can get to play. Do you want to play a game, Eli?
Starting point is 00:52:08 I'd like to play the game of you stop singing. That's only going to make me want to sing more, though. Yeah, but that's... Eli! Don't get your banjo out. First of all, it's not a banjo. It's a fucking banjo. Oh, God, what's going on here? Eli, do you want to play a game?
Starting point is 00:52:25 No. Eli, do you want to play a game? No Eli do you want to play the game? No I've said no Eli come on let's play a game Fuck you
Starting point is 00:52:33 Well you can just fuck off No you can No you can fuck off No you can fuck off What's he doing? We have got a game to play at the end of the show Which is now
Starting point is 00:52:44 It's right now right so let's get it out it's getting to that point where innuendo is rife no we are playing a game
Starting point is 00:52:53 tonight called Paul Gannon's play your carts right right we've got to kind of identify
Starting point is 00:53:01 various different people called cartwright no that would be a good game. Who's Cartwright? Do we ask you questions about famous Cartwright? Barbara Cartwright. Is it called Arthur Point?
Starting point is 00:53:12 No. Is it called Arthur Point? And he's in Strewn Onions. Arthur Point. Play your Cartwright. J. Arthur Point. Mr. Trebor. Trebor the Time Traveller.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Keith the Mole. Oh, my God. Keith the fucking desiccated mole look there he is Paul look at his mouth I'm Keith look at my little mouth I'm trying not to look at it
Starting point is 00:53:30 because it generally is a gag thing for me and the fact that you're exploiting that is a sad indictment of your ability to be a cruel he really smells like
Starting point is 00:53:37 a musty old what does the hole smell of can you get your nose right in the hole I'm smelling Keith's arse oh it's very that is where the bowels would have been yeah isn't it just know Can you get your nose right in a hole? I'm smelling Keith's arse. Oh, it's very... That is where the bowels would have been, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:53:48 Just know. Just know, because it's really important. So, we're going to play a game. So, you know, Bruce Forsyth's Play Your Cards, right? Oh, who does not? Or in America, if you're listening, it was called Card Sharks, the game. Oh, really? Yes.
Starting point is 00:54:01 And basically the idea was... Who presented it in America? Oh, don't know. I could look it up on the internet,... Who presented it in America? Don't know. I could look it up on the internet but apparently that's a thing we don't want to do.
Starting point is 00:54:09 Don't bother. Juice Forsyth. Although Kenny Cantor did the New Zealand version of that. Remember Kenny Cantor? No. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:54:15 Don't go to New Zealand. Exactly. Why do you remember something like that and yet you can't do basic number things? I don't know. It's a very good question.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Why can't I add when all I have in my brain is who presented variants of panel shows around the world? I don't know it's a very good question why can't I add when all I have in my brain is who presented variants of panel shows around the world I don't know what's this game then Paul
Starting point is 00:54:30 we're playing play your card right but instead of playing cards we're playing with cards cards right oh look at that I have Ziploc bags
Starting point is 00:54:38 a bunch of Game Boy games wow you really did that I rescued from storage look at that I've got loads of them and I played all of them recently just a quick sample
Starting point is 00:54:48 to get abreast of the situation and it's just like playing a card you've got to go from left to right and you've got to see if the card that follows
Starting point is 00:54:55 is and here's the twist more enjoyable to me to play or less enjoyable than the game before so we've got to guess your subjective experience
Starting point is 00:55:02 it's a totally arbitrary judgement what I'm saying is if Paul plays nice he's going to win today won the game before. So we've got to guess your subjective experience. It's a totally arbitrary judgment. What I'm saying is if Paul plays nice, he's going to win today. Is there a prize? Ooh. What's the incentive?
Starting point is 00:55:13 A kiss from Keith. No. If I win, Paul has to kiss Keith. No. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:55:21 Yes. Yes. Kiss the mole. All right, for the sake of stakes, I'll do that. But if I barf, I'm barfing in your face. All right.
Starting point is 00:55:27 All right. So, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to randomly pull out six cards each, right? Okay. And then I'm going to line them up so you can't see them in advance, just the backs to them. So, I'm going to get them all out now. Oh, jiggly, jiggly, bubbly, jiggly.
Starting point is 00:55:43 And some of these games are classics. Have you got a list of your... Or are you just going to make it up? I'm going to basically make it up, depending on this game. You can talk back like that, Mr. Man. It's all on the spur of the moment, basically. You're not... You're just going to think,
Starting point is 00:55:55 oh, what did I enjoy that more or less? No, no, to be fair, I will be as honest as I can. I've played all of these recently on my Nintendo Game Boy SP. What does that mean, the SP? You've got a pouch what does that mean the SP you've got a pouch does that mean
Starting point is 00:56:06 it will play any kind of game it just means it was clamshell and it had backlight so you could but will it play any kind of game
Starting point is 00:56:13 it'll play Game Boy Advance Game Boy Color and Game Boy Games this is why it's a really nice little console it is nice and you can get it
Starting point is 00:56:19 for about 10, 15, 20 quid in some second hand shops charity shops so if you've got a load of Game Boy games and you can't play because your Game Boy's dead go out've got a load of Game Boy games and you can't play because your Game Boy's dead go out and try and find
Starting point is 00:56:27 a Game Boy SP and you're going to be happy as Larry it'll play all of them and it has this nice satisfactory clamshell it's a nice action
Starting point is 00:56:35 I mean I don't think it's the Game Boy it's like Nintendo's prettiest Game Boy because it's kind of blocky and like it's kind of hard the corners hurt your
Starting point is 00:56:42 thumbs ergonomics. I found that with most of their Game Boys, though. I mean, certainly the original. That wasn't a comfortable thing to hold. I love it, but it was not comfortable. Game Boy Advance was comfortable to hold when it was the fucking side one up.
Starting point is 00:56:54 Okay, maybe, yeah, with the shoulder buttons. And the micro is beautiful, but almost impossible to hold because it's so teeny tiny. It's that little tiny one. It's ridiculous. So I've played them all on this. So I've given myself a mental recount of the quality of the game.
Starting point is 00:57:08 So they have passed some sort of muster. I'm pulling out the games now. I'm facing them down so I don't rig the system. Well, I know what that yellow one is. Is that a yellow cartridge? Yes. Well, it's Pokemon. No. Is it not the Pikachu? Is it Well, it's Pokemon. That's the...
Starting point is 00:57:25 No. Is it not the Pikachu? Is it Banana Man? No. It's Donkey Kong. Yeah. Actually, there's two. We've got Donkey Kong 3 and Donkey Kong Land.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Oh. Now, which would you rather? They haven't taken it out of the competition because, obviously, the colour gives away my feelings. Glad this has been thought through. I love Donkey Kong Land, but there's some problems here. How dare you? How dare you? I like that one this has been thought through. I love Donkey Kong Land but there's some problems here. How dare you? How dare you?
Starting point is 00:57:46 I like that one. Probably if we think things through. What was that Donkey Kong racing one when he had the planes? Diddy Kong Racing. That was good.
Starting point is 00:57:54 Donkey Kong Land 3 based on Diddy's Quest which I think is the Super Nintendo. They're all basically Game Boy versions of Super Nintendo games so they don't quite
Starting point is 00:58:01 translate and they look pretty ugly and the screen's quite small so they don't really do justice to the game but anyway I've pulled out one bag I'm going to line up
Starting point is 00:58:09 two rows of six cartridges alright so here we go face down face down face down so this is row one these are all round
Starting point is 00:58:18 you've got them in like cases and everything yeah that's really farty I love my fucking Gameboys I'm upset
Starting point is 00:58:23 I've got every model of Gameboy that they've ever released apart from all the DS's when they released fucking 50 DS's and different types you'll probably have
Starting point is 00:58:29 a heart attack if you saw how I looked after my games it's alright you know it's one of these things where to each their own really
Starting point is 00:58:36 is the mini Gameboy a thing that's actually going to happen they patented the idea of it whether it happens or not we don't know but based on the success of the Super it happens or not we don't know but based on success
Starting point is 00:58:45 of the Super Nintendo and the NES and the forthcoming 64 because that's confirmed isn't it? No. No. Someone just made that up
Starting point is 00:58:52 and it became news. Yeah. Alright. Okay. Well there you go. Everyone was speculating because the last two have done well
Starting point is 00:58:56 so you know. Alright. Fair enough. And that's the next one in the series. It wouldn't surprise me. They'll put Pilotwings on that. Donkey Kong Banjo.
Starting point is 00:59:03 They didn't put Pilotwings on the SNES one. No they fucking didn't. Oh no. I was gutted on that. Donkey Kong, Banjo. They didn't put Pilot Wings on the... No, they fucking didn't. I know. I was gutted about that. Because that's the most mellow, lovely game you could ever play. It is. Have you ever played Pilot Wings?
Starting point is 00:59:12 I have. You're flying, right? Yeah. All right. So what we're going to do is anyone... You can have either row, but whoever gets this question right first picks the row. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:59:23 So here's the first question. I'm going to go to Eli first because it's home advantage, I like to row okay all right so here's the first question I'm gonna go to Eli first because it's home advantage I like to think so Eli here is your first question and just like play your cards right we
Starting point is 00:59:30 asked a hundred people and all you gotta do is say how many of those people thought that I can't fucking explain what a hundred people what a hundred people
Starting point is 00:59:39 did you ask the website that I'm getting all these questions from all right you didn't go out you didn't go out into Cambridge came bro no I fucking didn all these questions from you didn't go out you didn't go out into Cambridge
Starting point is 00:59:45 came bro no I fucking didn't I go do you like this why have you got my voice I don't know to protect my identity right here's your do you want to fucking
Starting point is 00:59:56 win this by the way no not particularly with your little snarky why would I want to win this well yeah I'll get you puking my face if I win is that what happens
Starting point is 01:00:03 he gets to kiss the mole if I kiss the that what happens? He gets to kiss the mole if I Kiss the dirty mummified mole Shut up, kiss My strewn onions Shut up Everyone can shut up You're never coming back for a fucking star
Starting point is 01:00:17 I'm a beardy man with your hairs You look like a doppelganger from a dark future How do you like that? Listen, he'll always be welcome on the show especially if he brings mummified creatures. No way.
Starting point is 01:00:30 Now that I've seen how well the mole's gone down, so to speak. Carrots. No, rabbits next. I'll be bringing all sorts. Right, Eli. Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:38 We asked 100 people do you think people who claim to have seen UFOs are crazy? How many of those people said yes? Yes, I think they're crazy. Yes, I think they're crazy. Out of 100.
Starting point is 01:00:51 45. You're saying 45? Yes. Okay. In that case, Mr. Paul, do you think it was higher or lower the actual answer to that? These are people saying that people who say they've seen UFOs are crazy. We asked 100 people, do you think that people who claim they've seen UFOs are crazy. We asked 100 people,
Starting point is 01:01:06 do you think that people who claim to see UFOs are crazy? You don't have to read it out again. That's what Bruce Forsythe does. He doesn't do anything now. He's in the ground. Bruce is dead. Is that a stroke? It's a lovely stroke.
Starting point is 01:01:27 Is it a brain side? A brain side? You said what? Forty-six. I said forty-five. Forty-five. Is the answer higher or lower than forty-five? And stop making that face.
Starting point is 01:01:43 Unnecessary. Is it higher? Is it higher? higher or lower than 45 and stop making that face. Unnecessary. I'm not impressed by your behaviour. Both of you. Higher. You say higher than 45. The actual answer is 16.
Starting point is 01:02:00 Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. So Eli gets control on the first round. People believe in UFOs. Top or bottom row? I thought that's what I was saying. I know. No, I wasn't. You were saying more of them
Starting point is 01:02:08 thought they were crazy. Yeah. No, apparently in America they think less. Oh, is it in America? Yeah, because it's from card sharks, not play your card right. Oh, well, if I'd have known that.
Starting point is 01:02:18 Well, if you'd known that, Paul. Yeah, that would have changed everything. It's absolute travesty. You're going to win anyway. It's a travesty. Bottom or top? Bottom or top row? I'll have the bottom row, please. You're going to win anyway. Travesty. Bottom or top row? I'll have the bottom row, please. You want the bottom row.
Starting point is 01:02:29 So here's your first cart. It's Super Mario Land. That's a really strong cart. Remember, you've got to lose. We want him to suck on that mole. Obviously, Nintendo released that. Suck on that mole. Forever Mario game.
Starting point is 01:02:39 I prefer, honestly, Six Golden Coins, Super Mario Land 2. I'd even go to Son for it. I prefer the third one. Hang on. What prefer the third one hang on what if the next one is six golden coins well then he's got
Starting point is 01:02:48 two golden coins well I'll say no more have you played Mario Land is that the original one for the that's like I was saying earlier that's one of the few
Starting point is 01:02:57 games I've completed more than once yeah it's a brilliant game it's a fantastic game yes anyway so do you think the part that follows this is I enjoyed It's a brilliant game. It's a fantastic game. Yes. Anyway, so do you think the card that follows this is I enjoyed more or less than... I don't get to see it first.
Starting point is 01:03:12 No. It's just like the game. Less. Less. So you think the next card is I enjoyed less. Yes. Let's have a look. Shanghai.
Starting point is 01:03:20 Yes. Oh, God. And you're right. I enjoyed that considerably fucking less. What is Shanghai? That pinball simulator? I've not even heard of that. Shanghai is the. And you're right. I enjoy that considerably fucking less. What is Shanghai? That pinball simulator? I've not even heard of that. Shanghai is the game where you play with tiles.
Starting point is 01:03:29 You know, you have a pyramid of tiles and you have to match them up. Ah, like Mahjong sort of tiles. Like Mahjong. Yeah. If at any point during this section you want to have a quick look at the game, we can pull it out and go, all right, no. All right. So in that case, you know what?
Starting point is 01:03:42 I'm going to add two more games to this because I want to eat this out great format Paul just make it up just go along I just want to eat it out one two three four
Starting point is 01:03:52 I'll do eight eight's a nice so another two it's constantly evolving yeah because it's a bit of fun innit Darwin's game show right so
Starting point is 01:04:03 is the next car do I enjoy it more or less than Shanghai I think it's going to have to be more because Shanghai looks so dry
Starting point is 01:04:08 Shanghai looks so dry let's have a look and the next card is Disney's Tarzan utter fucking shit
Starting point is 01:04:14 really awful game so I enjoyed that much much less than Shanghai which at least gives you basic simple puzzle
Starting point is 01:04:20 pleasure it gives you puzzle pleasure puzzle pleasure memory puzzle pleasure puzzle pleasure puzzle pleasure
Starting point is 01:04:24 puzzle pleasure puzzle pleasure puzzle pleasure puzzle pleasure puzzle pleasure puzzle pleasure. It gives you a puzzle pleasure. Puzzle pleasure. Memory puzzle pleasure. Puzzle pleasure. Puzzle pleasure. That's only going to encourage us more. I scored three. You scored three. But again, all you've got to do is get to the end first. All right?
Starting point is 01:04:37 Ah, okay. So, next question, we start with you, Mr. Paul Rose. So do I flip that over? Oh, no. Oh, I see. I'll ask another question. We asked
Starting point is 01:04:45 100 married men, would you share your wife with a friend as in Eskimo custom? How many said they would share their wife as in Eskimo custom? It's actually
Starting point is 01:05:00 very racist to call them Eskimos. Yeah, they're Inuits. You stupid Inuit. That's put me in it, Inuit. I bet they love that as well. Go call them Inuits. No more Brucey. No more Brucey.
Starting point is 01:05:22 Fuck you. Right. So, how many out of 100 Said they would happily Share their wife With a friend As per Eskimo Culture
Starting point is 01:05:30 15 15 Oh Eli Higher or lower Higher The actual answer is 10 Ding ding ding ding
Starting point is 01:05:39 Oh Paul gets control Of that round So your first game cast Is Donkey Kong And that's the Game Boy version
Starting point is 01:05:46 very good game of the original arcade edition isn't it yeah it starts off with the original arcade goes through a few levels and then it becomes
Starting point is 01:05:53 like have you seen the sequel to this which is Mario Minis it's a bit it turns into that what's that what do you mean it means you have to
Starting point is 01:06:01 kind of collect keys and open up things and it's a bit more plat face puzzle based gaming but it's all basically set platform-based, puzzle-based gaming. But it's all basically set on the sort of scaffolding?
Starting point is 01:06:08 It changes as you go level up by level. There's a lot of levels on that. There's a lot. You get your money's worth out of that. That's a high-scoring card.
Starting point is 01:06:16 That's a high-scoring card. So do you think the next card is lower? Yeah, I enjoy it lower. Let's have a look. Gameplay. Ooh!
Starting point is 01:06:24 What? Off the sun! That's... But I will say this. lower yeah I enjoy it lower let's have a look gameplay oh what what's the that's but I will say this I enjoy it less than Donkey Kong oh right it's basically a bit like cannon fodder
Starting point is 01:06:33 this game you control two characters at the same time one zaps one traps and you move around Zelda-esque
Starting point is 01:06:37 dungeons to collect ghosts and is it any good it's fine it's very boring very quickly and the bosses take forever to kill
Starting point is 01:06:44 so you kind of end up spamming boring very quickly and the bosses take forever to kill so you kind of end up spamming your spamming your life away on the bosses so yeah you still get that but still it's less enjoyable than Donkey Kong so yeah is the next cart more
Starting point is 01:06:56 enjoyable or less enjoyable than Ghostbusters 2 let's have a little look at this Tetris you can't go wrong with Tetris Tetris is the gold standard of time killing fun it certainly is so thereris Tetris is the gold standard of time killing fun
Starting point is 01:07:05 it certainly is so there you go so is the next car less he's on a roll ladies and gentlemen and remember
Starting point is 01:07:12 I may as well bring this up now if you want to freeze and carry on if you just don't want to make that next step you can freeze
Starting point is 01:07:17 and we can carry on from that point so less than Tetris what do you mean remember you didn't tell us that I'm telling you now
Starting point is 01:07:22 fuck you I didn't have the chance to freeze I did not have the chance to freeze I did not have the chance to freeze Whatever Whatever You would get out from Bruce Whatever
Starting point is 01:07:35 You're better than last week's audience Right So You said lower than Tetris And you're right It's Final Fantasy Legend I'm gonna freeze freeze very good
Starting point is 01:07:47 point to freeze now I will just say at this point Final Fantasy Legend is a it's a fighting RPG JRPG I think oh it's a role playing game
Starting point is 01:07:55 this one's fucking hard as nails like I've seen people who say this game's amazing it's one of the best Final Fantasy games certainly portable
Starting point is 01:08:01 but they always say it's hard as fucking nails and when I had a little go of it I was like I'm out after 10 minutes it was too many specs and stats so I'll leave it at that
Starting point is 01:08:10 right back to you Eli you have 1, 2 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 cards to do and Paul only has 4 so next question for you we asked 100
Starting point is 01:08:20 if he freezes then he wins he gets to go again I don't understand he's asked to answer questions to gain control of your row you still to go again. I don't understand. He's had to answer the questions to gain control of your row. You still have that option. All right?
Starting point is 01:08:28 I don't understand. What's fucking talking about? I don't know the point of that. How does the freeze work? I just thought I'd do it if you were going. If you don't want to risk it and lose control...
Starting point is 01:08:36 Yeah, but he's lost control now. If he... He gets control back. If he answers this question right, he gets control back. Why does he want control back if he's frozen? There is no freeze rule in the game.
Starting point is 01:08:46 So, okay, so who's... No freeze rule in the game. So you're still going. Then he's still going. We are moving swiftly on. Right, okay. Eli Silverman. No, it's not my turn.
Starting point is 01:08:55 Paul hasn't frozen. He has. But you've just said there isn't a freeze rule. No, you've just said there is no freeze rule. Not kissing a mole. You are so close to Frenching a mummified mole. Yeah, come on. I'm going on.
Starting point is 01:09:07 All right. Okay. So. Okay. The next one. Final Fantasy. More than that? More than the hard game that is.
Starting point is 01:09:14 It's Batman for the Game Boy. That's not very good, is it? I'm going to have to. I'm going to have to say I don't know on this one because that's a platform game. Oh, fuck. You're not going to get that with cars and playing cars. At first there's no freeze roll. You know what? Then it's like, I don't know on this one because that's a platform game. Oh, fuck's sake. You're not going to get that with cards and playing cards. At first there's no freeze roll. Then it's like,
Starting point is 01:09:28 I don't know. You can't go from a five of space to a seven of hearts. I'm trying to present a game and there's no fucking rules. It's just me talking about a five of diamonds.
Starting point is 01:09:37 No. Stay there. Stay there. What I will say is these two cards are practically getting two five of diamonds in a row
Starting point is 01:09:45 so I'm going to say that's a draw you're going to go no further on that one because I can't make a decision I'm giving Eli a chance aren't I as well
Starting point is 01:09:51 so this is Tarzan is a piece of shit you told me you have to answer a question though so we asked 100 psycho psychos
Starting point is 01:10:00 we asked 100 psych psychiatrists I don't know why that was so hard to read I've got an idea Maybe you need to see a psychiatrist Okay this is a bit sexist We asked 100 psychiatrists
Starting point is 01:10:15 So is the last one about sharing the wives He's all like Fucking bitch It's America man That's disease society Generally speaking, we asked 100 psychiatrists, does watching a soap opera character
Starting point is 01:10:29 solve their problems, help a woman to make the same decisions in her real life? What the fuck? How many psychiatrists said yes, by watching a TV soap character solve a problem, she can take that information
Starting point is 01:10:40 to her own life and solve her own crisis that way? 70. 70. You say 70 psychiatrists said watching a fucking tv show is a good way of solving a problem i think you know story is a is the metaphor and you know story helps people okay you're saying storytelling therapy i'm saying 70 paul it doesn't matter though does it because there's no rules and i don't even know what's going on higher or lower lower lower is the correct answer the answer is
Starting point is 01:11:06 29 right so he didn't freeze there was no point he was just yeah but you could have got yours alright alright dickhead
Starting point is 01:11:11 so Batman do you want to change that card or keep that card change it you want to change it can I still carry on yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:11:20 you just get to change it on your next go we're changing Batman 4 to Raider for the Game Boy Color which is a kind of Prince of Perjury kind of game I remember it
Starting point is 01:11:29 it was shite yeah it's not very effective but it's a nice clear see through cart I like that I gave you a few of those because I had some
Starting point is 01:11:36 didn't I yeah you had a few I've probably got in this bag somewhere I'm getting the Tetris one back I've got loads of Tetris
Starting point is 01:11:42 anyway Tomb Raider do you think I enjoyed the next cart on this row more or less? More. More, he says. And the answer is... It's DuckTales. You can't get any better than that.
Starting point is 01:11:54 You can't go much wrong with that. So DuckTales. That's definitely a score there. He's got two more carts to go. So do you think the next cart... Less. He's bold. It'd have to be less wouldn't it
Starting point is 01:12:05 it's Mario Golf for the Game Boy which actually isn't a bad game I loved it on the Wii yeah Mario Golf classic
Starting point is 01:12:13 it's alright it's a decent little golf game it's a classic you know it's bare bones but you have one last cart
Starting point is 01:12:21 do you think the next cart I enjoyed more or less than Mario Golf? More. More. And you based upon the face that you pulled when Mario Golf.
Starting point is 01:12:30 To win the game. Exactly. It's all psychology. It's like poker. You don't know what's in your fear. It's a whole circle, jerk, of fucking retro game enthusiasts, and I'm on the outside. Oh, looking in.
Starting point is 01:12:41 Why don't you fucking hang out with Arthur Point and Dickington Willoughby? You are Dickington Willoughby? You are Dickington Willoughby. You can hang out with me anytime, mate. Right, so, to win the game, did I enjoy
Starting point is 01:12:50 this next cart more or less than golf? You're saying more. More. The answer, the cart is... Please be a stinker. It's Mega Man 2.
Starting point is 01:12:58 I like Mega Man 2 less than golf. That's because I can play golf and I'm shit at Mega Man and it makes me angry and rage quit come on
Starting point is 01:13:07 so now what happens so now basically you have to swap that cart out for the next time if you get control of your row so it's still here we go it's on a knife edge
Starting point is 01:13:14 Eli you have now got control right happy now if you win he doesn't have to snog the mole it's me if he wins
Starting point is 01:13:22 I thought it was if I win that you snog the mole because you often win if either of us win which one of us is going to win because he's not playing you're going to snog the mole it's me if he wins I thought it was if I win that you snog the mole because you often win if either of us win which one of us is going to win because he's not playing you're going to
Starting point is 01:13:29 snog a mole you've talked yourself into snogging a 15 year old mole you can only win properly is if you get
Starting point is 01:13:40 this whole row in one go whereas if he wins at all it counts as a win but if you want to win to make it balanced and fair to me you have to get this whole row now in go whereas if he wins at all it counts as a win okay but if you want to win to make it balanced and fair to me
Starting point is 01:13:47 you have to get this whole row now in a go you've lost me completely with any kind of rash you like Tarzan we'll make him snog the mall Tarzan
Starting point is 01:13:53 lower next game lower or more than less enjoyable right because you said it was shit mercenary force exciting stuff
Starting point is 01:14:01 but unfortunately I liked that more than Tarzan no I meant more did you mean more because it sounds like you meant less
Starting point is 01:14:07 when you said fucking words less I did you confused me with your shitness did I with the words more or less listen
Starting point is 01:14:14 yeah take it back take it back you take it back you're going to enjoy the one after Tarzan more than the Tarzan because you said
Starting point is 01:14:23 Tarzan was shit I enjoyed this one less though and that's what you said more. So I liked it less. What is your status with this? I liked it less than Tarzan. Did you? Yeah, because I couldn't play it.
Starting point is 01:14:32 That's what I said. Did you? Yeah. Is that what he said, Paul? Yes. Yeah. Paul is already halfway down the fucking 15. I don't care what happens as long as you have some interaction
Starting point is 01:14:45 with the mole because it makes me laugh when you're rich right good that's nice to know Eli there's the next game that comes after
Starting point is 01:14:54 Mercenary Force tell me a bit about Mercenary Force Mercenary Force is a kind of you know what I need to have a little bit you don't even know
Starting point is 01:15:01 what it is I thought you played you told me you'd played all these games for 15 minutes I did but I can't remember this is a top down one
Starting point is 01:15:07 or a side scroller and that's what I just want to have a little look at oh fucking love that sound Mercury Force 1990 from Live Planning which sounds great
Starting point is 01:15:17 round one alright fucking it's like cannon fodder it is a top down I was right and I do like I did like this more than I
Starting point is 01:15:34 than fucking Tarzan so you're wrong okay so oh dear so we're swapping out
Starting point is 01:15:42 Mega Man from another card we're still on Mario Golf We're still on Mario Golf. We're still on Mario Golf, but the next cart. We're getting rid of Mega Man now. We've got this new one in. Do I enjoy this cart more or less than Mario Golf? More.
Starting point is 01:15:57 More, he says. And the cart is Frogger. Of course I fucking love golf more than Frogger. Frogger's boring shit. No it isn't. It's boring. It's dodging bricks. It's it.
Starting point is 01:16:07 Bricks. Cars. Floating on logs over and over and over again. Surely that wasn't just that over and over. Frogger's one of the most popular games of all time. It's classic. This is not what's the most popular game of all time. It's subjective.
Starting point is 01:16:21 Do I love this more or less? It's absolutely subjective and ever-changing. And I liked Frog ever changing and I liked Frogger let's just look at some more fucking games alright so Paul
Starting point is 01:16:30 Rose you have won I did win your cart's right yeah you've won what's his prize how did I win because you said I enjoyed that less than golf
Starting point is 01:16:36 look at the prize what's the prize I thought I said more oh you did say more no I did win no you said more
Starting point is 01:16:44 you said more you said more. You said more. You said more. Why do you have to swap that cart out? I forgot snakes. Why did I say that? Eli's got control. So, Eli, after Mercenary Force, did I enjoy the next game more or less?
Starting point is 01:16:55 From what you've said about Mercenary Force, I'd say more. More. Let's have a look if I enjoyed this more. It's Super Mario Land 2. I can't enjoy that more than that. It's an amazing fucking beautiful game. That makes your next one easy. Less. Less. Super Mario Land 2. I can't enjoy that more than that. It's an amazing fucking beautiful game. That makes your next one easy.
Starting point is 01:17:06 Less. Less. Less than... Super Mario Land 2. Is Zelda's Link Awakening. Oh, man. It's higher. That is one of my latest games.
Starting point is 01:17:16 That's like drawing a king and the next one is an ace, isn't it, man? So there you go. This is tense stuff. So it's down to the wire. The next card. Paul, did I enjoy this cart More or less Than Mario Golf
Starting point is 01:17:27 On the Gameboy Well so far I think I've been saying More every time Don't do that Now I get to use My poker face I'd like to poke your face
Starting point is 01:17:37 I'd like to poke my penis Into your face Right yeah We all got the reference Alright Did I enjoy this game More or less Oh less
Starting point is 01:17:44 Because I've been saying more and it's not been working the game I chose was Legend of the River King and fuck me do I hate that game so you have won
Starting point is 01:17:53 right mole get the mole face mole face yes look it just has to
Starting point is 01:17:59 touch your tip of your tongue or your lips rub it on his lips I'm like what the fuck are you making me kiss his face I'm not kissing, what the fuck are you making me kiss again? I'm not kissing it on the face. Yes, you have to kiss it on the face.
Starting point is 01:18:09 That's the way you kiss things. It's all right, Paul. Don't think about it. It's fine it's dry it's old I'm going to be sick of my fucking hands
Starting point is 01:18:31 let's just see what my last two would have been I've got Micro Machines that's good is that like top down racing
Starting point is 01:18:43 yeah and that would have been much less than Zelda so Micro Machines was like the that's a great game is that like top down racing yeah and that would have been much less than Zelda so Micro Machines was like the original Grand Theft Auto no I mean it's similar
Starting point is 01:18:50 in terms of look down cars but that's about all it is it's more of a racing game and then Bugs Bunny Lola Bunny yeah
Starting point is 01:18:57 awful game I believe that is a it's just a crappy platformer although I do have a Tiny Toons game in there which is really good because it works in a kind of Zelda-y way
Starting point is 01:19:06 I was going to say are there any Warner Brothers properties that make good games like yeah Animaniacs Looney Tunes they all had decent stuff
Starting point is 01:19:14 it's hard to get Looney Tunes right in a game I had a game called Duck Amok for the DS which is like a virtual pet where you had Daffy Duck and you could poke him
Starting point is 01:19:21 and annoy him you know that kind of I remember when the pencil the animator came out it's a bit like that but it was a video game and it's fun for about half him and annoy him you know that kind of I remember when the pencil the animator came out it's a bit like that but it's a
Starting point is 01:19:26 video game and it's fun for about half an hour and then you completely run out of things to do in that
Starting point is 01:19:29 game so there you go and the final game for Paul should he have swapped out would have been
Starting point is 01:19:34 Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2000 on the Game Boy I don't know but it's not as fun as Mario Golf which is a bit more accessible
