Today, portrait mode returns. Get ready for game showdown. Yo, what's up? Welcome to the game showdown. I'm your host blessing Adioia Jr. and I'm joined by three contestants representing three teams. We've got Tim Getty's representing Team Orange. Not feeling good today.

I'm going to tell you that right now. Why not? My dominant run the last couple weeks, last couple months of years, however you want to look at it, I feel like you can all get screwed up. Thanks to this damn tablet in front of me. And thanks to these two goddamn jabroneys.

Bless bear down the center always. Roger and Mike will have to wait and see. We forget that blessing also voted for Greg during the first episode of the We forget about that part. It's not just me. We also got Andy Cortez representing Team Purple. I'm ready to win. This is the one.

This is the one. And of course, we have Greg Miller representing the two times season champions team blue. You forgot the intro though. Greg Miller. Sorry. Mr. Stars in the Bank. Greg Miller.

What a time to cut away. You're against me, that's who, Barrett? I got the whole fucking deck sacks against me, Barry. That's how it's going to be. You won't like what happens when that happens to me. I'll tell you right now, it's going to make me cranky crazy. I don't want to be crazy.

I don't like going to get salmating. I don't want to be cranky crazy, Barry. Can you imagine if Greg Miller had like the face muscles of Jim Carrey? That would be. If you can fucking get crazy like that. We're going to start off with trivia question worth 10 points and the chance to go first in Kind of Feudy. That's a lie. We're not

playing Connofutty. Just the chance to start off strong is what this is. Contestants, buzz in to answer. In the game, Half-Life, what is the first weapon, the main character, Gordon Ramsey, Greg Miller. Crobar. Crosol. Spatula.

It's because Greg was buzzing in, and so I stopped reading. Gordon Ramsey. In my mind, Gordon Ramsey. An omelette. A main one I'm sure would also use the crowbar. Crowbar is correct. Thank you.

That is 10 points for Greg Miller. Now the next question, Greg. The next question, name an NPC on fucking real housewives in Detroit. Fucking always, it's always for Timmy. My question, name a video game that's a shooter.

Tim's question, name a goddamn NPC in Crash Bandicoot that's not Neil Cortet or whatever the fuck. That did make me crack up of life. He were like, oh, you gave him the Crash Bandico. Like, I asked about extraction shooters also. You're asking about video games.

No shit about extraction shoes. Those weren't the ones that won or lost it for me. It was the games with force of the title. That won it for me. I've never wanted to choke you to death more. Yeah. Right. Yeah.

Force choke you. Remember this is Game Showdown. Kind of Funnies' Nerdy Game Show that you can watch live right here on Twitch and on YouTube.

But we'll tell you about that later. For now, let's play Portrait mode. This mode deserves that intro. It's all the dust off that one. It's got to go fast as it goes slower. It's cooking in there for a minute. The rules are simple. No, they're not.

I'm going to give you all the same problem. I'm going to read this very carefully. Take all these rules in, everybody. Take it in. Put the words on the screen. Let's read them. I'm going to give you all the same prompt. It could be the name of a Pokemon, a famous final boss, or even a video game box art.

Your task is to draw what you think the prompt looks like on your surface pros. It's never been one of those. Hey, it could be one day. Not today. It could be one day, though. Our three judges, me, Snowmike, Mike, and Roger McCornie will pick. the winners for each round. You get 10 points for each endorsement from Mike, Roger

and me. So, if I think Greg has the best drawing, but Roger and Mike think Tim did, Greg would get 10 points while Tim would get 20. We're judging, based, we're calling it right down the middle. We all have glasses. We're calling it right down the middle. We all had glasses. What were they?

You're missing them for a while. You know. Don't worry about that. I'm going to say these words very carefully. We're judging based on accuracy. not artistry. So if I ask you to draw the Gears of War box art, as long as you have the key features right, that's more important

than your actual drawing skills. You got that, judges. Yeah, but like, what if features? What if no one has any accuracy? Like, it's vibes, right? Like that is, yeah, I mean... Yeah, see, thank you. Thank you.

It's a subject. There's no accuracy. That's right. Off to a great story. Have we not learned? This is the second time. The third time we've done this. It's been flawless every time.

It's a fan favorite. It's a favorite. Fans love this one. I can't go do the laundry without somebody talking about portrait mode. God damn, let's go back to one of the other games that Tim was going to win every single week or should we give Greg in India a chance. Thank you.

Thank you. It's all we asked for. We're persecuted. That's what they say about Greg Miller. Guys, today's theme is Banjo-Kazui side character. Yeah, it is. Contestants, are you ready? Born ready, blessing.

I want you to draw for round one. trophy Thomas Oh I want you to draw Trophy Thomas You have 60 seconds This is a real thing On the clock

Trophy Thomas Trophy Thomas is a Benjik Tzui That's a real guy Real guy Mike are you familiar with Yeah we're familiar with him You did a wink for audio listeners

You did a wink everybody I don't know why I'm just trying for audio listeners It's the full visual episode If you're an audio listener You're missing on a list Yeah you're fucked I haven't ever played Benjik Zui

I've ever played Benjik Zui Benjik Zui won I played Funny enough played it very late. This is a good guys. It's not working. Ah, he's disqualified. It's unfortunate.

I mean, Tim, you got to get this. He's broke. Rodgian wouldn't go help. He's IT on this. I got it. He's got it. He's got it. We'll give him extra 20 seconds.

I play Benjikazeui one in like 20, either 2016, 2017. Yeah. Yeah. I played it when I first got my Xbox one. I was big into Rare Replay because I love Rare of the studio. I played Jeff O'Sheb and I played Dek's 24. When I played it for the first time,

absolutely loved it. Yeah. Banger Guzzi did it. my opinion still holds up to this day. Fantastic. I think I'm more associated with banjo toui because my neighbor had that game and he was obsessed with banjo toy.

Oh. Mike, what's your banjo experience? Yeah, I'm all about banjo nuts and bolts. That's the one I know about. Of course. Well, we hit the 60 second mark. I think Greg and Andy put your, put your pens down. Tim, if you want more time.

You're good? Wow. Okay. All right. So I asked you guys to draw trophy Thomas. If you can bring up Tim's drawing first. Oh. Yeah, I want to see.

There he is. Tim, do you want to describe this at all? It's a trophy. His name's Thomas. He does, in fact, have little hands. Our hands, fingers. Whoa. And he flies.

Turn your head, move. He has fingers. That's key. Okay. Very key. Very key. Andy Cortez. Tell me what you got.

So I drew two things. Oh, here we go. Because I drew something. similar to what Tim drew. The, you know, his hands are kind of like on his hips. But if that's not good enough, then I drew this. You can't do two things. Who, in case this is close enough.

Okay, okay. There's a person with four appendages. I will keep that in my back pocket. I don't know if we're going to keep on your back pocket. We're going to go with the first thing he shows. No, you have to put both of those images on top of each other. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't throw it out there.

Greg Miller, what you got? I drew a trophy Thomas is everybody knows he looks there. Now you might, you see what I did here is I drew trophy Thomas and I spelled out Thomas obviously with him because that's a big thing from the game. Yes. But I also put a little mustache on him because when I did it all in just the black outlines, the handles kind of looked like hair. And I didn't think, what you think is thinking this was trophy Tina. But this is clearly trophy Thomas with his mustache there. He's always given banjo and or kazoo.

We all sorts of help, you know, telling them how to get them trophies. Now, can I ask you what is glat two C, GLOT to TCT? Like the code? God, come on, let's say, why are you embarrassing yourself? Are you kidding me right there?

I knew there'd be somebody. I thought it'd be too stupid for it the whole month. What I did there is we see, I'm Greg, leader of the two-time champions team bulletin. That needed to be on there. But I didn't want to take up all my space. Of course.

That makes sense. I was trying so hard to figure out how is fucking money in the fucking cars that's related to this. Jesus Christ. That's good. Joey, put it on a shirt.

Can you bring up? the actual trophy Thomas. I'm excited. It's okay. This is trophy Thomas. He is a tiger. Tiger. Tiger? He's a tiger.

Tiger, yeah, this is a tiger. Like my second drawing. Trophy Thomas is a character from Major Gizui, nuts and bolts, the one that Mike played. Look at the third option there and tell me that doesn't look like he has a mustache. Actually, he is a cheetah.

He's a cutthroat cheetah, and is described as an overly competitive bragger who enjoys contests and challenges. His spots aren't defined enough for him to be a cheat I'm just gonna put that's what got me Where I was like I can tell that was just a stylistic thing He was actually cheated

I thought they put ninja inside of the game Yeah I had a little partnership you know So now it's up to Mike Roger and I To vote on who they think had The closest drawing To trophy Thomas I'm not gonna lie

It's kind of tough I've called it down the middle I've called it down the middle Down the middle Down the middle Down the middle Down the middle Down the middle

down the middle. I can already feel the anger of the audience. Oh, interesting. I don't know what those moves. Oh, you're not even looking at your board. I think it's scribbles. He's not looking at what he's right. Yeah, we might not be able to read it.

All right, let's start off with Roger. I'm going to like the Ouija board. He's like the spirits guide. Why are you erasing what you just wrote? Mike, don't forget. I spelled out the name, so I at least said that right. All right. All right.

This is a tough one. Champions. I guess champion. I mean, leader of the two-time champions. Champion of a certain, you know. Season 1, I was second place. Season 13 kind of Feudy champion. Yeah.

I am going to give it to Greg. And that's because of the mustache. Thank you. The hair connection. Thank you. The hair connection. There's hair. There's hair.

Everyone else did not have hair. He had hair. And I think Andy's was cheating with the fucking four. Andy just put a dot on the page next next. He explicitly said, it does not have hair. It is not here. I put his mustache. No, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. What I said is the handles weren't hair in the pigtail form. I didn't want you to think it was trophy Tina. Is the show moving too fast for you? Huh? Yeah, I heard that. I heard that part. I'm also going to vote for Greg Miller.

Hey, internet commenters, remember this. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Who do you want me to vote for here? Because nobody had an accurate depiction on Trophy Thomas. The thing about Gregs is that at the very least he had the coloring right. Thank you. Throw it up there. Yeah.

The color is great called not a lot of industry. Color matters now. Accurate, accurate, accurate. They said accurate. Yeah, was there anywhere I said fucking Tim's little pedophile. It looks like a trophy drop in its drawers. Look at that.

It's got spooked coming out of the woods, jerking off. It's got his got me in the shorts. That's my fault. Again, none of these are good. good art pieces. But yeah, I look at Greg's and I'm like, if I had to choose an image here that somehow

looks the closest to the tiger, I'm sorry, to the Cheetah that we see on screen, I'm going with Gregs. I'm sorry. Mike, who you got? I'm happy to report that I went with Greg as well. Terrific artistry. Really nailed trophy Thomas right there. Thank you very much. The mustache kind of looks

like the Cheetah's mouth, so I'm going to give it to him. Thank you. I appreciate that. Mike, who's named me to write down before you're racing? He didn't follow that out. Tim, does this feel to you where like, when you're leading up to a big WrestleMania, and they're like, well, they have to have him lose here so that he could,

yeah, this is, yeah. All right, first off, I know how this one. On the embargoed games cast we've recorded, you and I were very adamant, we were going to team up against Tim. Why are you turning on me immediately? This is exactly what we want. Well, you know, when Blessing points out,

like these aren't good, none of these are good drawings, maybe this shouldn't be a mold. Maybe you should get better at the game. This game sucks! Luckily, it's unsanctioned. There's no stars. Judge, I just want to remember when you start voting next time. He's the one screaming over here.

He's saying overthrow the government. I'm saying, hey, it's a two-party system. Let's vote. All right, round number two. I want you guys... I'm just going to draw a big fucking dick. Just a fucking vainy dick for every one of these. I want you guys to draw

slumber. Sure. Slumber. Slumber. Slumber. The only one I've known out of any of these contest was acrobat and I still lost that one

I don't know what slumber is you're wasting time right now it's just complaining instead of actually playing the game because he knows he's bad at the game so he just what a slumber also 80's talking like he hasn't been losing every other episode no I'm talking about game showdown

uh slumber yeah you kind of threw me through a curveball when we saw the last guy and he was the nuts and bolts I forgot that that was a game even though you just mentioned it That's crazy. There's a whole universe. There's a universe of Banger Kazui characters.

Let me tell you, when I was going through the wiki from this episode, a lot of good options. Wow. Are you characters that you would not remember and then you would hear their name and be like, oh,

these just random MPCs, are they bosses? Bring it in MPCs, right? Like trophy, you know, what I call him trophy Cheetah. Trophy Trophy Trophy Taurus. Trophy Taurus.

Like, as you read it, right, he's a character, he's like, I think he gives out challenges. We'll talk about slumber. Oh. in a second. Right about now, because the 60 seconds are up.

Let's start in reverse order this time. Barry, I looked over. It's good. It's good. I like it. Greg is really good at this game. You're all fucked because I woke up today.

Free up Greg Miller. So are you happy? good. Wow. So I'm a vision slumber obviously is a woodland creature. I'm going with a bear.

I know it's, I'm not the best, I can't draw a bear really well. But he's a bear as you see with the night. Beaver. Guys, hey, it's not about artistic.

I was a beaver. It's a woodland creature. In my head he was a bear because the bear's hibernate. But anyways, he's got the blue, he's got the, you know,

the night gown and the night cap on and he's got his little candle stick thing. They're ready to go. That's slumber. I like, can I ask a clarifying question here? Is it a bear

woodling creature or is the beaver woodling creature? Because you can't just be like woodland creature that counts anything I'm not listening. I was just saying it's a woodling creature. I tried to draw bear. God himself and or Satan reached into my anus and touched my hand and said draw the beaver Greg and I said yes sir.

Touch your hand with like a different hand or did you reach to your anus? Wow. You went all the way. However you feel the power, you feel the power. That's like a long journey to your hand. Hot the trot. It's easier ways to get to the hand. Bear, bring up Andy's drawing.

I drew a character in Banjo Cazui. A cloud. Awesome. Okay. With a maybe a little moon, I don't know. I like this. Just a sleepy little guy. Disease.

Yeah. He's snoring right there. But it's a character in, I drew a character in the video game Banjo Cazoozee series franchise. Oh, wow. So he thinks he's got it. I drew a character. Are you insulting mine? I don't know if it's happening.

Sometimes part of the game is you just have to put the key words like Greg saying, the mustache is the facial hair and Mike going, oh, it looks like the facial hair. When you say you drew a character, like, you don't mean like you've seen, you play Banjo Kazui, you know what the characters are, you drew a character you knew. You're just saying, he's basically saying, I have the correct answer. This is a character inside of Banjo-Kazui the game. Oh, wow, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I see it. Bring up Tim's. So here's the deal. It's a panggo in. It's kind of a play on it, right? The sleep, but then the burr, okay? Like, Burr is so chilly. Oh.

I like that. I haven't played Badger-Gazooie, everybody. I like that feels like a very big game. This is a horrifying depiction of a penguin. Art doesn't count. Art doesn't count. Artistry doesn't matter. Bring up the actual slumber.

Maybe it's just an ice character of some form. He's a chilly character in the song. Wow. Different. Yeah, slumber is. An enormous, albeit rather lethargic, green rattlesnake who appears in Banjo Tui. He is constantly sleeping and only awakens when he hears someone attempting to steal his jiggy. If you heard, I was trying to emphasize the S.

Okay. Before you go to the polls, I would like to point out, right? A woodland creature. All right. And then if you look at that tail, doesn't it quite look like a flame on a candle? You don't know going to tell me twice, big dog. Think about how triangular this thing looks. Oh, my God.

Fuck your penguin. and Barry, can you like cycle through the drawings? Yeah, I got a, I need some help. Aye, yeah, yeah. It's tough. See, you know, when Portia Motors' modus first pitched, I was like, this sounds cool. Draw a box art cover. One of our interpretations of the Gears of War box art cover.

Things that we know, but it's a guessing game. It's an improv game is what it turned into. The next thing I'd like to point out, of course, I am the only person who used colors. And of course, as we all know, you can't get green, Mike, without yellow, and blue. There's no yellow here. Yeah, I have blue. Yeah, we gotta mix him.

Yeah, he's got a mix. He's got a mix. He's got a mix. I have blue, so I'm halfway to green. He's halfway there. The next one's going to be blessing saying, draw my friend from the second grade. Oh, man.

Please have us to draw Addison. We're guessing. You know, it's an improv show. No points involved. Bring up Tim's one more time. Please. Everybody take a look. Take a look at Tim's.

Interesting. Collie. It's so regular. But what was cool was like Slumber had three S's. I had three Z's. disease. I'm my sleepy guy. I think you're getting points of this one, the way they're laughing.

No, I think that you just want blessing over. You know, I just... All right, let's start with Mike. Mike, what you got? Yeah, I went one woodland creature to another. Bear to snake, Greg Miller. Thank you. Bear to snake connection.

They're the same genus. I am chose. Greg Miller on this one. You gotta vote in your heart. They're the same family. I voted Tim. Yeah. I voted Tim.

Yeah, yeah. I voted Tim as well. It's the long, like the long arms. It kind of gives like a snake like quality. Of course. Again, unfortunate showing from everybody here. Yeah, specifically Andy. Specifically Andy, you could figure it out.

Can figure it out. Was I not emphasizing the essence in slumber? No. No. Blessing. I heard it. Thank you. Somebody did.

Somebody did. All right. We're going to move on to round three, but before we do, I can't wait.

Cheeto. Cheeto. Cheeto. Cheeto. Cheeto. Not something you'd associate with a banjo character. Do we still have those Cheetos puff? Like popcorn?

Yeah, they're a puff corn. We got a smack nose. I crush those. I crushed them the other day. I think like for the first like full year of working in this new studio, for a full year, I try to put Andy onto the puff corn. I like you. There's like, here's why I was turned off by it, because I thought it was just popcorn.

But it's not. It's just a puff. It's a puff. It's, um, what's the other? Pirates booty? It's kind of like that. Pirates booty. Yeah.

I really like the chairman. That's crazy. What? What do you mean? I don't like the pirate booty chip. I don't like those. Well, I think, I think they're fine. It's the cheddar.

I like the Cheetos version. Like, I like the puff corn more because it's almost way more soft. Okay. It feels like cheap to me. You know what I mean? It feels like just like styrofoam that they're just putting like the dust on. You know what I don't. Pirate booty, you get a bit more of that crunch.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but that's what I, not that I don't like the crunch, but the puff corn is made because it doesn't have the crunch. Right. Like, that's why I like it. 60 seconds are up. But honestly, it feels like there's layers of super soft and then a good crunch at the end is what I was getting.

Yeah. It was really good. Yeah. I crushed that back. Sorry. All right. I asked you guys to draw. Thank you God.

Interesting. The fucking hair like got caught in the surface. I asked y'all to draw Cheeto. Cheeto. Chito. We're going to start off with Andy Cortez. I like this. Oh.

Oh. That's really adorable guy. A lame with botulism. Cheetah bear. Those are all wounds. No, those are those are a botched. I mean, depending on what, you know, it's a, I was trying to draw a character in the bad joke to do in the universe. Yeah.

Just a character, you know. It's cute. It's small. Got, you know, maybe he has arms, maybe doesn't. Maybe has hands, maybe doesn't. Tim. Before you bring mine up. Maybe those aren't eyes.

Maybe if it doesn't have eyes, those are spots on it. Yeah, maybe it's multiple eyes. Yeah. Interpret it. I need you all to understand that until the last maybe first. 15 seconds. It was just everything went black. Try to change the color.

I did see it. Wasn't fucking working. Figured this all out. Did not figure out how to change colors. I was going to use colors, but I'm not going to tell you what I don't know colors were necessary. Yeah. Here's the thing,

everybody. What you're about to see is what you're going to get. Okay? Please bring it up. That's all you got. Okay. Okay. And excessive amount of dots on this thing.

I want that to be no dots. A lot of dots. A lot of dots. It's like when you go pepperoni lovers. Yes. And he didn't have many. Okay. Giving me trophy Thomas wives.

Show me Gregs. You know him well, everybody. It's Cheeto, the orangutan, and Doritita, the gorilla from the old days of kind of funny. There he is. He's brown. He's pink. He's Cheetos. He's happy.

I wanted to draw a little vine in his hand there, but I ran out of time. Very good. That's a good one. Thank you. I tried. Unlike some people on this panel. I'm getting my competitors. So Cheeto is Gruntilda's magic spell book.

Cheeto is spelled, or C, H-E-A-T-O. Because he cheats. Because he's, she cheats on his wife. Now, before you go to the polls, I'd like to make my case. Of course, I have eyes just like this guy. My guy has eyes. Not nearly as good as my eyes, everybody.

You know that, to be fair-back. Also, I'm using colors, as you see, they are here. I had brown in there, and there's some brown on that spellbook. Thank you, everybody. Yeah, this one's going to be tough to call, but I think I already have. You too. So he is found in Banji Zui, Banjo Tu-I-N-M-Joy and Banjo Pilate. He is responsible for giving Banjo and Kizu-Zee cheat codes

to use against Gruntilda in the first two games and unlocks extra features in danger pilot. Thank you. So this is Greg's drawing here. Pretty good. Pretty good. This is Tim's drawing here. Is Andy's drawing?

Can we see Cheetah one more time? Shit. Sorry, Baron. I need to make you work overtime. Ah, shit. I almost want to find like a spinner app on my phone. Yeah. Just to be like real quick too.

Just to be clear. Just to be clear. I didn't have as much time as I wanted or as much space. If we could look below the belt on my cheetah, you'd see there's also a slit there. Oh. That's crazy. Anything for the W, Mike. Anything for the W?

I'm going to call right down the middle. I'm calling it down the middle. Shit. This was an easy vote. It was a tougher category than I anticipated. That's a really bad one. I should have won with Blockstar. I should have won't.

Can he show me the contestants again? Yeah, just one more time. Just real quick. You know who it is. You know who it is. Just put it down. Well, Blessie said, I wish I could just randomize it. You know, randomize the selection.

It's like, well, unfortunately you're not in charge of the rules of this game. In my mind, you guys are more familiar with banjo. No. You could, like, you know, maybe connect certain names to certain things. Or, you know, you go by the, by the clue that's in the name. Oh, there's a lot of S's. Maybe it'll be like a snake. Go by.

Well, maybe. If I could read the name on the screen. That's an excellent way to add it next time. That would be helpful. Also, I will point out that, as you know, mine is of the great ape family, they climb trees, trees are make paper. Wow, that's good. That's good. If Barry could have typed in three S's lumber.

I've already put my vote in. This is just a crap shoot, you know what I mean? Like, you just got to get out. It's really not. It's got to be worth on mobs. Let's start off with Roger. Yeah, this one actually, it's a vibes-based choice, right? Yeah.

But it actually worked out in your. favor, Andy, because I'm choosing Andy. I'm choosing Andy. And I think it's just kind of the vibe that I get from the book, right, and the one that I get from Andy's. I don't know. It seems like a very friendly vibe. And also, his nose was a triangle, like upside down triangle. It's kind of like what a book

looks like. I had the same vibes. Oh, now you're all about it. It's how you're all about the vibes. I felt the same vibes. Okay, okay. Yeah, I won't with Greg. Thank you. And again, this is a choice based off of the colors he used.

He used browns in like the book is brown. hard. You know what I mean? Yeah. How do you use colors? I'm not out. I'm out. Mike, what's your vote? Yeah, Bless, thank you so much for asking me. I've been calling it right down the middle the entire time.

I will continue to do that. And I went off of who had the biggest eyeballs. And Greg Miller had the biggest eyeballs on his. And that is the defining characteristic of Cheeto, who's got big ass eyes. Yeah. Great job, Greg. Thank you, Mike. You did really good on that one, Greg.

Thank you. Thank you very much. It looked like a lot of you. It looked like a book. Yeah. I got the pity points taking. It looked like a book. Round number four.

I want you guys to draw clungo. Oh. Congro. Clungo. Who can forget. Colungo. Clungo.

I'm going to just draw a book. Whatever the word is, just flick out. I'm going to spell this word. Yeah, yeah. You spell this one. Well, Chino, I felt like you,

Chino, you could have got that one. K-L-U-N-G-O. is clungo K-L-U-N-G-O is clungo No he's that gonna help Yeah does that help I don't know

Patrick Luwongo Mike how do you think you would fare in this Like in this category Oh that's a great Man I'd be killing it You know what I mean You should take my spot next time Get over here, come on

You call me up next time I'd love to judge I would love to judge You know what I mean But I'm a straight down the middle judge And that's why you bring me on this panel because I called straight down the middle every time. Yeah.

It's beautiful. Contestants, yeah, five seconds left. Thank you. I think the audience would appreciate that. Yeah, it's great that this is pre-recorded, right? You know what I mean? Like, we don't have to deal with the audience. We don't have to deal with the check. All right. Pencils down. We're going to start off with...

You're right there with me. Right, we're going to show Gregs first. I'd like to inters everybody to... Yeah. I was hoping you would He's a member of a great ape family. You can see him swinging for a lot. Really, I hope to do this. Really good job.

All right, let's see Andy's. I had a very, I'm like, Why is he so sad? I'm with you, Andy, I'm with you. I'm thinking ape-ish as well, right? I think of, like, a primate sort of clungle, clungle. Sure, yeah, exactly.

Do I get points in the voice? Yeah. I can forget in you use color, man. That's been a deciding voting too And he's way more artistically talented than me But I'm in the same realm here Where it's a dumb monkey Like this guy's kind of stupid

Like he's really like big and heavy and stuff Brown but there is some shades of gray in there Wow Okay that's the gingerbird man from straight Yeah I was gonna say With the really big feet Barrett show me clungo So excited

I'm really excited for this one This is probably my favorite one gosh. So this is Clungo. That's me on day. If I don't get all three votes. Like this is one of those ones where I was like, all right, cool. You guys kind of locked in here. If I don't get all three votes for this.

I do have a confident vote here. Just give me the pity points. I'm not going to win. I'm going to lose to Greg. But I deserve all three. Look how massive my needs are. We have more rounds. You have a chance.

Look at how tiny my guy's legs are. So I'll go first. My vote for Andy. Andy, I think, did have like the most appropriately like, just a big dumb guy. Just a big dumb guy. Big arms, little legs, you know? 1,000%.

Like, the proportions are actually kind of scarily accurate. Legitimately, I think I've drawn this body style for this game about 13 times. This is the first time we got a clungo archetype. Mike, who you got? Yeah, I call it straight down the middle every time. Okay. Andy Cortez. Thank you.

Thank you, Big Doc. Roger? Yeah, you know, me and Andy, we have a rough relationship on the show, right? but, you know, I can't, I can't doubt it, right? It is definitely, it's well done. It is just the arms. It is the way that that body's built. It's Clungo all the way.

That's the closest one to like, wow, Andy maybe knows how Clungo actually looks in it. Yeah, that's the closest to any of you have gotten to the actual thing. And it's funny, this was the first time you didn't say this is a character from Ben. That's true. It was fucking you.

The reverse jinx. All right, round number five, I want you guys to draw. Chris P. Bacon. Yep. His name is Chris, and then his middle initial is P, and then bacon. Think about it. I mean, Chris is how you imagine it's spelled bacon is how you imagine this.

I used to know Chris P. Really? I know Krispy. Yeah. You don't say crispy enough, though, you know what I mean? Oh, interesting. I should have been like, yo, what up, Krispy P? Crispy P.

I also didn't shout out the fact that some of the facts on Colongo here from last round. He was Grintyilda's first faithful minion and the secondary antagonist of the the Banger Cazui series before Piddles took over. Whoa. Yeah. Fucking Piddles. He is a green, Igor-like ogre or a troll who creates machines and other items to aid Gruntilda. Oh, it's an ogre?

Yeah. Oh, I thought that was a reptile. Oh, yeah, kind of a giant lizard alligator type thing. Yeah. I feel like what's his name again? Chris Pee Bacon. Chris P. Chris P.

There's like a first name, middle initial last name situation. How Chris did you like your bacon? I'm on like a seven-day, like, burn that thing. No. Yeah. I'm a set of them. I want it floppy, dude. Six or five.

I would say it's six. I would say it's six point five. Dude, I want it like by itself. But like on a sandwich I want it really crispy. I don't want it crispy at all. Like I want it.

Pets down. Plessed down. Yes. Uh, let's start off with Andy. What did you use colors again? Guy? Oh.

It's not a black and white world. Oh. Oh. I do a little big guy. Got a little buck up. I mean, he's like, yeah, is he a pig guy? Yeah.

I don't know the head circle. Is this DC Comics? It meant zero hour where everybody got whited out at the end of the comic book. All right. Come on now. Hey, I'm having a go. Uh,

let's see Tim's got a little sorly tail, you know. It's just a classic pig. Tim. Classic pig, nothing crazy about it. Nothing crazy about it. Nothing crazy. It's just a pig.

So zero things crazy about it. All right. Show me Gregs. Let me tell you guys. Chris, oh. Bacon is the coolest pig on the block. All right.

Look, yeah. You guys got to take it up a notch. He's got sunglasses. He's got smiles. He's wearing a coat and a t-shirt. I don't have the ability to get his detail that I want to, but that's what I was going for here. This man flashes women. He's on the run from the law.

Barrett, show me Chris P. Bacon. Yeah. So this is Chris P. Bacon. As his name suggests, my guy's wearing glasses. He's wearing goggles. He is indeed a pig. You'll find him dangling in a cage in the Temple of the Fish's in Jolly Rogers Lagoon, Atlanta. He was part of a contest that ran in an issue of Nintendo official magazine UK

where ideas for his name were submitted. The winner, Simon Turk, submitted Chris P. Bacon is his name. So, congrats my guy. What happened to Simon Turkey? Dead. All right, Pete. Changed his name to Simon Cardi. Then look at his nose.

So we got, okay, we got a pig by the book. We got a by the book pig. We got like a swimwear. Is that a Game Boy in his hand? I didn't know. He doesn't notice that. Yeah, he's a game boy with the little camera as well. Yeah.

Got the eye. Can we go through the three of them? This is gonna be a tough one right down the middle It's good. Like right now we're looking at what looks like a character From Beyond Good and Evil He looks like a lot more muscular This is what he looks like before he gets in the water

I'll have you know, all right? We have a little pig here Yeah, nudie fucking pig. It's a little small. Eyes has seen fucking everything. He's got catarice. I don't want to hate Andy like yours Like yours kind of looks like a worse

More than a pig. Yeah, it looks like a fucked up dog. And Tim's is, yeah, it's just a basic ass pig. Tim's pig doesn't go to Britain. He doesn't swim. So the question is, is it closer to a cool? Cool.

Is it a cool pig or a normal pig? That is a great call. We got to think about this. Like he has made sure. He's got a fucking game boy of the camera. That's a cool pig. Is that cool though?

Bring back crispy bacon. Bring him back up. Like, does this look cool? He has the proportion of the team. Does he look cool, everybody? Let's have the conversation. Which one actually matches the energy of this picture? Let's just call it down the middle.

No, hold on. Hold on. Call it down the fucking middle. Let's be honest. We know who doesn't. So it's between the two. Let's say who does that. Hold on three.

One, two, three. Andy. We don't even know what Gregs looks like his chest down. He didn't draw a belly. Or legs or arms. For the record, for the record, if you would have given me 10 more seconds, I would have

drawn him in British shorts, so there you go. He's been on the canvas. I'm saying you would have done it. You drew a bust. You drew a bust of a pig. I'm honestly, rooting for Tim.

It's a full body. You didn't even finish the head. It's a full body. It looks like a woo fucking interpretation. Weird ass goat. It's got a horse snout

mixed with a dragon's belly. I don't like it. He's the one artist here, by the way. I drew a full body. I'm rooting for Tim because Greg is doing the like, now you'll fill in the blanks.

Let me just draw up. It's a cool factor. I don't. I'm just playing the game, everybody. Greg is a cool one. Well, Greg is a cool one. Yeah. He keeps on saying,

that he's wearing a leather jacket. I'm not even paying attention to what Greg is saying because I'm looking at him. But here's my thing, right? And I honestly, this should be between myself. Sure, but let's talk.

Let's have a conversation about it. Greg's has clothes on and Krispy Bacon and the thing does. But, but Greg has the wrong clothes. So now it's the thing of like, do I go with the basic pig? And Tim, Tim is more naked than Greg's. That's true.

Tim's pig would never own a Game Boy Or goggles. Yes, it would. Throw your pig back up? I like when you sell me on it, too. Throw your pig back up. Don't be afraid, Barrett. This pig is playing adventure kids on the game boy's home.

This is just a fucking pig laying on its back wing for belly rugs. No, actually, it matches. It's not a set she and pig whatsoever. It is a question of the energy of Krispy Bacon, though. That's what I'm saying. No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. So, Krisby Bacon is not cool.

Krisby Bacon is just a fucking pig. Actually, I do need Greg to win. Have you gone to a, farm and seed a pig in British shorts with a Game Boy and goggles. No, you haven't. Can you bring up Greg's? Can you bring up Gregs?

He has glasses. Greg has glasses, but the wrong glasses. I need Greg to win. So underneath where he didn't draw, there are British underwear. You just don't see it. And I'll let you guys know, just because I need to protect the company.

I know we all want to have fun here, whatever. You're all getting dangerously short, close to fat shaming when you're saying that he's not cool. So I just wanted to put that out. What? What? Cast your vote?

That crispy bacon, the real... Is it cool? Because he's fat, Roger? Is that what it's about? Damn, Roger. Can you bring up a real... No, obviously, it's because he's British. If I were on the panel, I would vote for Tim,

but I need Greg to win. Well, don't influence us now. Don't influence people. Oh, now you don't want influence from them, Mike. I'm taking no influence at all. I'm calling it right down the middle. I'm calling him right down the middle. All right, let's start on.

Well, Tim can't even win anyway. It's a final round, right? No, no. We have one more round. Oh, God. Let's start off with Mike. Yes, I'm happy to say that I call things right down the middle. Okay, when I see it, I know it.

And when I get sold on it, I feel it. But it was Tim Geddy's. Thank you. Tim Geddy's. Thank you, Mike. Right down the middle. Right down the middle. For me, this is a really tough one, like a really, really tough one because

Portia Mode does come down to the question of accuracy. Who had the closer drawing? No, it doesn't. It's like when you see him. Bullshitting, bullshit, you're trying to convince yourself if this is a serious mode. Right down the middle.

The fuck are we talking about? Right down the middle. His pig was man-sized with a jacket. Your pig was just a fucking pig! So I see the arguments from both sides, right? Greg, I understand that yours is the only one that had glasses, but it was the wrong glasses.

You, right? You had just a generic little pig. It didn't have the shorts, didn't have the Game Boy, but it embodied more of the spirit of that character. And I think Greg went the wrong direction, so I'm going with Tim. Wow. Wow. All right.

Notorious fat shamer, Roger, goes against the fat pig. Barrett. I lost it. Can I get a quick score recap from you? Oh, right now tied for second place. two people who are just scraping by are the equivalent of

second graders giving drawings to their parents that don't even go up on the fridge it is Andy Cortez for Team Purple and Tim Geddes for Team Orange with 40 points each and in the lead

clearly a lot of people call them this ages Picasso it is Greg Miller for Team Blue with 80 points but it is still anybody's game Is it? That brings us to the end

of the regular round of Portia Mode and into the bonus round. This is where it all turns around. Which is called Rogers Shovelware. Now, this is what we need to do. I want to pass the boards, the white boards down to the contestants here. Contestants, you can shut down your laptops.

Or not shut them now, but close them down. Close your laptops. I don't know. Chrome, actually. I've asked the one and only, Roger Bicorni, to create fake key art. for Steam games that don't exist.

I have four rounds of Steam games that I'm going to bring up here. Your task is to write down which game you think is the fake video game among the shovelware. Is there only one every time? Yeah. Well, yes.

Draw like a cross for me and then like do like one, two, three, four. So like you're going to write down your four games on the thing. On the same board. Do you want me to go like this? No, I'll go through all the rounds. Yeah, I like that.

Okay. And then like one, two, three, four. And then just write down your thing. your things. What am I writing? Fake a real or? We'll get there in a second. So yeah, your tasks is write down which game you think is the fake video game among the shovelware. We'll go through all four rounds and reveal your answers at the end.

Each correct answer is worth 20 points. Contestants, are you ready? Yeah! Barrett, bring up the first round. Stop! We are asking which one of these is fake. I've played a couple of these. Is it, A, furry backrooms, B, backroom backshots, C,

Polly backrooms, or D, backrooms lost. Oh, my God. One of these, don't look to me the expert of the backrooms. I'll put out there really great, really great stuff here. Thank you.

Which one of these is fake? Is it A, Car Wash TD? Is it B? Champs TD? Is it C?

C. Crampus tower defense. Or is it D? Defense Tower Simulator. This is a good one. You did a great job. Thank you, it's fantastic. It's one of those fun games of like, now you get to pinpoint like Rogers' talent here of like blending in,

but also like he stands out, but does he even got it like them? Like, does he got like the crazy bottom? Or do I have to tone down my abilities because I look around really, oh, shit. Mine doesn't need to look a little worse. All right. Contestants have all their answers written down. We're going to rewind this back to round number one. We're ready if we can bring up the four games that we have for round number one.

Once again, it was A, furry backrooms. B, backroom back shots. C, Polly Backroom. D, backrooms lost. Tim, what was your answer for round number one? So I, you know, you got to think about Roger here. You got to think about what Roger's capable of and what goes through his mind. I'm like, out of all of these, I can't see him doing the back shots.

And I feel like somebody might have... I'm going to go with furry backrooms because that looks like the type of logo that Roger would like put a lot of effort into to shock us. Yeah. Okay. Andy. Okay. I went with C. Holly backrooms.

Because I just imagined him downloading the Morris 64 font. Greg, what you got? I went with D. Backrooms lost because it seemed like the most. real game. Oh, can I guess? Yeah, go for it. I'm gonna go with backroom back shots

because I don't know if Steve's letting you put back shots out of it. Are we revealing now? Yeah. Can I reveal it? Yeah, go for it. Yeah, it's kind of fucked up that you guys wouldn't think

that I couldn't do back shots. Of course I'm doing back shots. The correct answer is indeed B, backroom back shots, meaning nobody gets points for that route. I was like, do you think backroom back shots is a little much? He's like, yeah, you're fine.

I think I also was like, ah, it's too obvious. Yeah, yeah. That's the problem, though, steam where you're like, I don't know. You can't tell. It was great finding the specific photo of somebody bending over for the back shots. No, no, I just found someone bedded over and I also had a little bit of motion blur for, you know, similar to the back shots.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, Barry, we can bring up the second round once again. Again, which one of these was fake? Let's start off with Greg. Greg will is your answer. For this one, I said, C, gotcha addict simulator. Andy, I have the same. C, gotcha addict simulator.

Tim. I put a loving father simulator. And the answer is. Tim is right. It is B's loving father simulator. Yeah. I thought that because that and the Virgin. I'm like,

I feel like it's one of these two. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Great job, though, Roger. Thank you. Let's bring up the third round. Which one of these is fake? Andy, what was your answer?

A lot of metagaming here. But I went with an angel legion. Tim. I also went with Angel Legion. Fuck. Greg. I went C. Damn, Roger. If you made A, that's so fucking cool, bro. That'd be crazy. Roger. The answer is C. Cupcake.

No. That is 20 points for Greg Miller. A playoff of a cookie clicker, of course. Sealing the deal here with his points. Great job. Our fourth and final round. We can bring it up. Which one of these is fake? Greg, what's your answer? I said B. I wanted to say C so bad, but I was like B, I don't B. I went B champs TD. Andy. I went with a car wash. Tim.

I went crampus And Tim is correct Because it is crampus Yeah Cranpus tower defense right there That's the HD version right there Oh yeah That's a great remaster

That's beautiful yeah Roger Thank you That was a fun time Barrett What's the final score Oh shit The final score

In last way He can't drop for shit It is one Andy the nitro rifle Cortez For team purple With 40 points just a little bit ahead of him.

with 100 points. Fred, we can bring up the star standings. Of course, Greg Miller's victory here means he does earn Team Blue a second star for. the season bringing them up to two. Team Orange, of course, still in the lead with three stars total. Not for the long. I'm coming for two of those. And two, two, all right. Stars. And Andy, of course, the leader of team purple still sitting at zero
