Today we're playing Konda Fuity with special guest, Carl Jacobs.
Get ready for Game Showdown.
Yo, what's up? Welcome to Game Showdown.
I'm your host, Blessing, Adioli, Jr.
I'm joined by three contestants representing three teams.
We got Tim Getty's representing Team Orange.
We got Andy Cortez representing Team Purple.
It's always darkest before the done.
And we have very special guest, Carl Jacobs, representing Team Blue.
One more time.
I feel like you forgot something?
Oh, sorry, sorry.
Carl Jacobs representing two times season champions.
Team Blue.
T-a-Lobb or whatever.
Order of what?
The Stars in the bank briefcase.
Stars in the bank, everybody.
That's what it is.
Tim's worst fucking nightmare.
Isn't that right, Gia?
Try to sleep now.
Try to go on vacation.
We got Carl.
We got a little sidekick going on and guess what?
There's an S right there.
Plural.
Don't push this plural agenda, Carl.
That's plural.
That's two stars.
That's two stars.
I could be.
I could be rude.
I could take it to the Supreme Court and say for three,
but I'll do it for two.
It's for two.
Don't worry about it.
Your best boss is good.
Thank you.
I've been eating ass all day.
I'm still crazy.
Greg is here.
Why do we bring it in a ringer when Greg is right here?
The youth.
We need the youth.
I heard Carl say he did want to play for the two-time season champions,
Team Blue,
which is why he was stepping in for the one and only Greg Miller.
What?
It does.
Is he going to go away or is he going to hang up?
I don't know.
You know what?
Let him do his thing.
I'm waiting for him to walk away.
I thought we thought he was going to be out of town.
So, you know, Carl could have played for me.
Yeah, I also thought maybe he was taking the job because of the dice.
I'm not willing to represent anything except for the two-time world champion, plural, stars in the bank, baby.
Stars in the bank, stars in the bank.
We're going to start off with the trivia question worth 10 points and the chance.
Violence is not necessary.
I've been eating asshole days.
Not bad.
Ten points in the chance to go first in Kanafutie.
Contestants, this is a numbers game.
I'm going to ask you the number of a certain thing.
You'll each get a chance to guess the number with no repeat guesses allowed.
Whoever gets the closest without going over will get the points.
If you all go over, then the lowest guess gets the points.
Contestants, are you ready?
Yes.
Including spinoffs and remakes.
How many games are there?
in the yakuza slash like a dragon franchise well this is a buzzing in the situation i'm going to go one by one
carl jacobs since you're our special guest i'm going to have you go first i'm going to guess
nine all right carl jacobs is guessing nine and i'll have you go next that's that good at all
that's really good i'm going to go with ten and he says 10 that's cool gettys what i go 13
tim gettys is going to 13 including roger dito the answer to this
What's your guess from the back of the room?
37.
Roger says 14.
The answer, including spinoffs and remakes, there are 24 games.
Oh, what?
And the Yakuza franchise.
You're going to have to run me through this.
Okay, I have the link to the Wikipedia.
I'm opening it up right now.
I'll run you through it in a quick second.
Yeah, so you have starting off.
That's more than Madden probably.
Do you know when Yakuza started the year?
I know it started on the PS2.
2005.
2005 was the first Yakuza game.
I then had Yakuza 2.
after that you had RGG Kenzon for PS3.
You had Yakuza 3, Yakuzaa 4.
You then got...
Oh, they had a game named after the studio.
Oh, there was a Sol's game.
Where you got Gotoku.
The Toku Shinsho.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yaku's a Dead Souls.
Yes, the Souls game.
Or a zombie game is made people would call it.
And we're counting the Android ones?
Yes.
Yeah, we're counting spin-offs.
We're counting everything, right?
Yakuza 5.
I probably would have guessed closer to the 20s.
Dang.
You got the first Eishon that came out in 2014.
You then started to get zero.
You got Kiwami after that.
Yakuza 6, Kiwami 2.
You got Fist of the North Star.
I don't think that should count.
That's a whole other IP.
I went to multiple sources.
Every source counted Fists of the North Star.
Fist of the North Star is a Yakuza game?
I didn't know that.
Never known.
You can correct.
I mean, even if we remove those, I think.
We're close to like 9, there's going to be 13.
Yeah, Tim still has it correct, even if we remove those.
Let's go.
Because then we get RGGG online.
We get judgment.
We get Yakuza like a dragon.
We get Streets of Camarocha, which is a Streets of Rage type game for PC.
You got Lost Judgment.
You got Ishin, the new one.
you got like a dragon guidean the main hero race his name infinite wealth and then most recently you got like a dragon pirate yakuza in hawaii the best name for a video game ever just a very long name for a video game team tim you do you get points there and you will go first in kind of feudy because remember this is game showdown kind of funny's nerdy game show that you can watch live right here on twitch and on youtube if you love what we do support us with the kind of funny membership on patreon or youtube to get all of our shows ad free watches according to them live and get a daily exclusive
show. Thank you at our Patreon producers, Delaney Twining, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, and Karen
Lindener. Today were brought to you by Built Rewards, Factor, and Stash, but we'll tell you about that
later. For now, let's play Kind of Futey. A little bit of a hitch on that one. The rules are simple.
I've surveyed over 1,700 members of the kind of funny audience on a number of prompts.
All very smart. Each round, I'm going to read to you a prompt, and we'll ask each of you which
answer you think the kind of funny best friends gave the most. I've narrowed down to five
answers per prompt. If you give a correct answer, the more popular the answer, the more points
you'll receive. For example, I might ask you to name a game that YouTubers play. If Carl says
Minecraft and it's number one, I'll net him 50 points. If Tim says five nights at Fridays
and that's number two, they'll net him 40 points. If Andy says Friday night Funken and that's
number three, I'll net him 30 points. Get the fuck out of here. And so on and so forth. Carl,
you know Friday Night Funkin. Of course I do. But I, when you do those,
those at the beginning when you're introducing it.
Is this something you actually got pulled?
No, this is one that I'm just making up from the top of my head.
Yeah, there's no way Friday Night Funkin is coming in number three.
If GTA 5 wasn't in the top three, I would have probably exploded in front of.
Yeah, I don't think you, what, you'd have GTA 5, you would have Roblox in there, I imagine.
Yeah.
What the hell is Friday Night Funkin?
You don't know Friday Night Funkin?
It's something I know for my nephew.
I don't.
Yeah, my nephew who's like 10 years oldish, like, obsessed.
We're Friday Night Funkin.
It's just some rhythm game.
I think you should be able to vote.
Like, in elections.
To be able to, like, you know what I mean?
Like, I can't have a 10-year-old nephew influencing the boats.
You've seen this, though?
Oh, okay, I have seen this. I have seen this.
The kids love this.
Damn.
Hold on.
Is that what it looks like, is like DDR where you, are they actually haven't hit the thing that fast?
I think they're holding it.
Oh, I'm not, I'm not playing Brow Starz now.
My nephew loves Brawl stars.
Is that like a smash type game?
No, I don't know.
It looks like a Moba.
Yeah, it's like a mobile moba.
Brattle Royale style.
Almost.
Okay.
Moba Royale.
We're learning here.
It's an educational show.
There you go.
Everybody's playing this.
3V3 in Battle Royale.
Yeah.
We're going to get this advertised in Minecraft.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm on it.
Get on that.
Each player will get a max of two guesses per round.
Last place goes first after the first round.
Whoever gets the most points after five rounds wins.
There's also a secret answer hidden in one of the rounds.
It's not one of the top five answers, but if you happen to get it, it is worth five points and you get to guess again.
Contestants are.
you ready.
Yes.
Round number one.
Name a video game
character
who lives in a house.
Name a video game character
who lives in a house.
We're going to start off with Tim Getty.
Dude, I got a good one.
A house under the sea.
I mean, that's the first point
is my head went too.
You know, this sounds like,
this is a tricky one because it sounds like,
oh, like everybody, but I'm like,
I can't think of any house right now.
I mean, I'm going to say Mario.
Tim says Mario.
Mario is our 10 point answer.
Let's go. I'll take it.
What does Mario's house look like?
Mario RPG.
Mario RPG starts with a house and you bounce on that bed.
Okay, yes, exactly.
He's got a house.
Dude, I can't wait to steal this whole show because I have one locked in that I know for a fact that he doesn't have.
I probably don't.
Next up, Carl.
Oh.
Thank you.
I'm going to go the Sims.
Carl says, no, that's not going to be.
Don't ever try to outsmart the audience.
I'm not outsmarting them.
where my brain went and I'm dumb.
The Sims
is not on the list.
Too cute. You can't get too cute.
Leave that in there for Greg next time.
Fair enough. Andy.
All right. Oh man. So many houses in games when you think about it.
I really
wanted to say the house of the dead.
But I'm going to go with
Link.
Yeah. You got the last.
and Link to the past, yeah.
Andy says Link is our 20.
Link is our 20 points.
Yeah, okay.
Okay. Good points on the boy.
Tim, we're back to you.
You know, I think I'm shooting high here.
I think I'm going all the way to the top.
Okay.
Kratos.
Tim says Kratos.
Kratos is our 30 points.
Damn it, bullshit.
Carl, we are back to you.
and okay
I have two in my brain
okay
for some reason
say the worst one
well I'm gonna speculate for a second
speculate go for it
for some reason I have Nathan Drake in my head
oh that's a good one
because of Uncharted 4
I remember playing Crash Bannacut in his house
and then I forget the other one
they made dinner for you that night
you know what
just because I think it would be funny
if I took it from them,
even though they brought it up,
I'm gonna go SpongeBob.
Carl says
SpongeBob.
SpongeBob is not on the list.
I feel like it should have been.
There were people that did write in SpongeBob.
Battle for Bikini Bottom,
the movie, the game.
The movie, the game.
Not enough respect.
It was the cosmic shake,
even though I don't know if he went to his house
in that one.
I imagine you probably did.
You started it off in his house.
There you go.
Andy.
Man, you know,
I just don't know if there's any,
of note in the video game Animal Crossing
because I just think of houses.
I think of like decorating and things like that.
But I got to go safe
because Carl had the first
one that I was thinking of. Nathan Drake.
Nathaniel Drake. Andy says
Nathaniel Drake. Nathan Drake
is our 50
point answer. You had that.
You had it. You had it.
You totally had it. You had it.
You totally had it.
That's kind of wild.
I mean, that's really just from
Uncharted 4. Yeah.
I mean, it's a house, you know?
It's a legitimate modern house. Are we done now?
Yeah, we're done now. Can I say Joel? Was Joel there?
Joel was not there. Um, but I suck guys.
Yes. I love this.
Who was there though? Our 40 point answer. Patrick Star.
From the Patrick Star game.
The Sims too. There was the Patrick Star game. Yeah. My Sims.
Our 40 point answer was Villager slash Tom Nook.
slash Animal Crossing characters as a whole
was our 40 point answer.
I'm winning this one too.
So Andy was on the pulse there.
Dude, Andy's in the lead which means he's going to go last.
I'm going to lose it.
Yeah.
Exactly.
With that, Tim got the 10 point answer with Mario.
Andy got the 20 point answer with Link.
Tim got the 30 point answer with Kratos.
Andy got the 50 point answer with Nathan Drake.
And you know what I got?
A fat zero.
I got a steering wheel.
Because now I'm driving the competition.
Now I go first.
I love that energy.
All part of the plan.
Remember that last episode where?
I was just like, I looked at the camera.
I was like, look at the score right now.
I'm going to lose this.
And I called it perfectly.
It was really embarrassing.
Congratulations.
It was really embarrassing.
It was really embarrassing.
Round number two.
Always the bridesman.
Name a place you went to find cheat codes in the 2000.
Oh.
Name a place that you went to find cheat codes
in the 2000s.
We're going to start off with Carl.
Dude, because I feel like there's a couple.
And I feel like I'm going to go with my gut
and I'm going to say GameShark.
Is that crazy?
Is that, am I wrong?
It's a great answer.
I don't know.
It's a little outside of the...
I think it's just synonymous with it though.
Yeah, exactly.
I think it's synonymous and that's kind of what I'm hoping for.
Yeah, kind of like...
Kind of like...
Kind of like crossing in the houses.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, we've noticed...
You know, you've watched a decent amount of game show down, Carl.
What we've noticed is like,
if you say the Last of Us
or Zelda for any of these answers,
it's probably going to be on the list.
Carl says GameShark.
GameShark is our 10 point answer.
That sounds right.
Yeah.
That's points on the board for Team Blue.
Tim's going to get mine.
Tim.
I hate him.
It's game facts.
Oh, okay.
Cool.
Tim says game facts.
Game Fax is our 50 point answer.
Andy.
Cheat C.
Andy says cheat C C.
You get into it, Andy.
Cheat CC, for those who don't know, that is cheat code central, is our 40-point answer.
You guys got to 100 click.
That's sick, though.
That's actually really cool.
We all have like ones and zeros going on.
Yeah, yeah, look at us.
We're just a big binary code right now.
It just spells in code it says fuck Carl.
I'm going to lock in IGN because that's where I actually used to get cheat codes.
30 point answer there.
Carl says IGN.
IGN is our 30 point answer.
Tim.
I don't know if I need to get more specific than just gaming magazines.
Tim says gaming magazines.
Books slash magazines is our 20 point answer.
That is a full wipe off its category.
That's like me locking in video games next time.
Books and magazines.
You couldn't even just have books.
Media.
But Game Shark was a book.
You're right.
It did have that little book lit.
Oh, is it?
So that's my thing with GameShark, is that I associate GameShark with, like, the hardware.
Yes.
But the hardware came with the little book.
I went to the Scholastic Book Fair, and I spent $7.99 on my GameShark book.
Wow.
So I want you to give him those points.
Well, that's the reason why I came down on books slash magazines is most people wrote in, like, the words, magazines, or books.
As opposed to the websites where people would write in,
IGN or Cheat-C or Game Facts.
And so if you had said any magazine,
I would just lumped it in.
I'm losing and that's why I'm doing this.
Of course.
He's steering the ship.
You're steering the ship.
Yep.
Over Cliff.
Before we move on, Barrett, what's the current score?
Right now, the current score in last place,
our guest contestant playing for the two-time champion team blue.
It is Carl Jacobs with 40 points in second place right where he wants.
to be right now in this game. It is Andy
the Nitro Rifle Cortez for Team Purple with
110 points and in the lead
can this man be stopped? No, he can't because it is the man, not the
chair. It is Team Gettys for Team Orange with
120 points, but it's still
anybody's game.

With round number three, name a popular flash game.
name game over dumbasses
name a popular flash game we're gonna start off with
Carl Jacobs shit
because I'm just the confidence
because it hit me that everybody that's
answering these watch you guys
so they're probably also don't know um
yeah that is the problem
flash games no one Carl Carl's like in the deep cuts right now
I am I'm thinking like where do I go though
and I'm gonna go ahead and be wrong
I'm going to lock in the Papa's franchise, like Papa's Pizzeria,
Papa's, all of those.
That feels like one thing.
I don't know.
I don't know if that is.
Carl says the Papa's franchise.
Papa's Pizzeria is not on the list.
Blessing.
The Papa's Pizzeria made you really think we're going to get out.
You're a scumbag.
This is my favorite part of the show.
Andy.
Stick death.
Andy says
No shot. Stick death.
Stick death is not
on the list. It's the only one I have.
Tim. I almost don't want to say this,
but is that the name of the game?
Or is that just close to the name of the game?
It doesn't matter. I'm not going to go that way. I'm going alien hominid.
Tim
says alien hominid.
Alien hominid
is our 20 point answer.
I played that on the GameCube. Yeah, it was the first
or is the most major flash game to console game.
It was a big deal.
What was the game you're talking about?
I don't want to tell you.
Well, now that we're here, though.
You know, your guest is here.
I'm blanking on the one that is the obvious 50-point answer.
I'm blinking on the name, and it's really pissing me off a lot right now,
Blessing.
Me too.
It's really piss me off, but you can't get it either.
Yeah.
This is made for you.
This is made for me, and I feel like I'm underwhelming.
I was so excited.
When I saw this prompt, as I was putting together the show yesterday, I was like, oh,
Carl's going to get this.
Yeah.
You said game over.
Yeah.
I said game over dumbass.
Yeah, you did.
I think.
I haven't been called dumbass in over a decade.
I want to go cube or cube.
The one with the two cube that goes, sometimes it's only one spot.
You know what I'm saying?
You flip over the cube to try to get it in cool math games.
No, I'm locking in run.
The game run on cool math games.
It's run.
And that's getting 50 points.
Carl Jacobs is locking in a run on cool math games.
I am.
Run is not on the list.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You laughed at me.
Run is the most popular game that's ever released on cool math games.
I need to look that up.
I remember bringing the cool math games bona fides here.
Why am I saying that like it's not cool math games?
I need to look up run because I do remember cool math games,
but I don't remember the games.
Run two specifically.
Run two.
Oh, run two was the one.
we still run it.
Andy.
He just spurred something to my
fuck.
A little spark of inspiration right here.
A little spark of inspiration right here.
Quap.
Oh, that's good.
Andy says quop.
Quap is our 40.
Yeah.
That's a good job, Andy.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I did think.
I did think.
Oh, fuck.
He thought of it.
Fuck.
And there's one more
No, no.
You answered twice.
Game over dumb asses.
Okay.
I'm really in a bad place because I have a game
and I just don't know the name around it.
There's a lot of variations it can be.
Is it helicopter?
Is it chopper?
Is it just copter?
Is it crazy copter?
You know what I mean?
Like, I'm going to go.
Crofter.
I'm going to go with copter.
Just playing crazy.
Just copter.
Tim says copter.
Copter, aka helicopter,
is not a on.
Got his ass.
Got his ass.
So the 50-point answer is absolutely happy wheels.
It has to be, right?
Happy wheels is the 10-point answer.
What about,
no, this isn't a flashing,
but I'm going to say ski-free.
Is that the same as Line Rider?
No.
No, but that's a good.
Yeah, Line Rider is our 30-point answer.
Oh, damn.
Stick fight
Um
I don't have any stick
Animation
I don't have any stick
Stick fight is the game
That we played like a party mode thing of
Stick death was on E-bom's world
And it was like an ultra-violent
Like you know
You were just stick figures
Doing like drug deal
Like shooting out you know
Drug dealers and stuff
Man I was trying to think
New Grounds like what are the games
And they just weren't coming about
Our number one answer
Our 50 point answer here
Would have been Blune's Tower Defense
Ah
Blune's tower defense
Not a chance to tell
I mean, while we're here, right, I'll give you the four fun ones.
Our six place answer, which would have been the secret answer, but nobody got it.
Injustice godsmongous.
I was going to say that.
When I couldn't think of it, I was going to say either injustice or kill the justice league.
Yeah, kill the justice league.
The flash is there.
So injustice got 36 votes in the poll.
Suicide squad killed the justice league got 22 votes in the poll.
One that I'm surprised none of you guessed are.
seventh place answer would have been impossible quiz,
which was the other contender for the secret answer,
because that would have been my answer.
Impossible quiz.
I was there to you,
but yeah,
he was there.
Helicopter was our eighth place answer.
Under that was suicide squad.
And then our,
I guess,
10th place answer would have been
Super Smash Flash,
which is another.
Where the fuck is Papa?
Not there.
Where the fuck is Papa?
Number one is cool math games.
It's like a, it's a franchise.
Yeah.
It's officially a franchise.
Where the fuck is Papa?
They have multiple Papa's pizzeries.
They got Papa's Bakerya
Tacoaria
Everything
This sounds like you did drugs one day
And they're like
I swear to God Papa's a thing
It's everywhere
30 years later I'm still at the desk
There we go
You've never seen this?
No
Oh wait
This is actually bringing back memories
This is cool math
Oh well it was
It was probably on everything
But this is how I'd get around
Playing it in school
Fuck Pop Tropica wasn't on there
Yeah this brings this brings
This brings me back
Holy cow
They had a partnership with
Papa John's in 2002.
Our team, Popaganda.
That's good, Tim.
I like that.
Thank you.
Round number four.
Name a strong video game character
who fights mainly with their fists.
It's a moving day right here for you.
You guys are screwed, dumb asses.
Name a strong video game character
who fights mainly with their fists.
Moving day.
Have us right where you want, Scott.
Carl Jacobs.
Dude, because I was talking so much.
Use my fists.
You know what I mean?
Where am I fighting with fists?
Where am I doing that?
It's a strong character.
It doesn't pop strong.
Name a strong video game character who fights mainly with their fists.
What is Papa's pizza?
You know what?
I'm going to go.
Nathan Drake.
Carl says Nathan Drake.
Nathan Drake is not on the list.
No.
He doesn't mainly fight with his fist.
He mainly shoots people.
I was thinking of the bar scene.
Yeah.
Oh, Greg Miller has watched the room.
Things are going to.
Fucking loser.
This is why you'll never be Mrs. Beast.
He took the stars away.
Oh, my God.
We got games left.
We still got game left to play, though.
We still got a game left to play.
Mathematically, I guess maybe you do, yeah.
What's that?
Before you move on,
I'm a Giants fan.
Yeah?
New York Giants.
Eli Manning.
He's not known for anything other than his fourth quarter.
performances and the playoffs.
The helmet catch you.
I'm ready to
his throat perfectly.
They retiree.
I'm willing to bring this back
and I'm willing to make this
the best episode that's ever existed.
I'm willing to do that right now.
Once it gets right back to me,
this will be the start
of the biggest comeback that's ever existed.
In the fourth round,
that's ballsy,
but I like it.
After you've already gone?
In the whole show,
you have three guesses left
just so you know.
I don't think the cool math worked out
for you, man,
because the math's not madden.
The math's not bad thing,
but hey, we'll see, we'll see.
Next up, we have Tim Gettys.
What was the question again?
Name a strong video game character who fights mainly with their fists.
Nathan Drake.
I'm gonna go Ryu.
Ha, freak.
Tim says Ryu.
Ryu is our 50 point answer.
I thought he said Ryuk from Death Note.
He's not, there's no fighting there.
I guess there was jump force.
That is true.
Fist
Fighting with Fist
Fist of the North Star
That's one
I could name three
The titular characters
From the video game arms
On Nintendo Switch
But I won't
Good dude
I won't do that
Dang I wish I got that before you
Let's see
Wii classic
Was it not Wii
It's a Switch cloud
It was launch here though
Uh
I'm going to go with
And this is a stretch right here
Like arms
Yeah I'm gonna go with Captain Falcon
Oh that's actually an incredible answer
Because of Falcon punch
Yeah
I like it
Andy says
I do Captain Falcon
Probably not good for you
Yeah but
Captain Falcon
Is not
I would have given you a tip of that happen
I'm for sure
Carl
I'm playing for style points
Now
He's playing for style
And I think that you guys have a fantastic community.
And I think that they're going to make the right decision.
And I think the 50 point answer is going to,
did you already do the 50 point?
The 40 point answer is going to be Goku.
Hmm.
Carl.
It says Goku.
Goku is not on.
Is this the worst performance?
I like that answer, though.
Wait, maybe.
Dragon Ball Z.
Budakai took, I like that I'm fighting with thousands of people.
Tim.
I hate to do this, y'all.
But I'm about to hit y'all with that 40, man.
Look how clean this is about to be.
Oh, go to hell.
Tifa Lockhart.
Oh, no.
No. No.
Tim says Tifa.
No.
Tifa is the 30-point answer.
Damn.
I'll take it, though.
He gave it the...
Barra gave the points of me.
Nice. Thank you.
Andy, can you at least get the 40 point here?
I don't...
I don't know.
Oh, I'm not sure.
Um, wait a second.
I was supposed to go second there.
Were you?
Yeah.
Oh.
No, that's not true.
We came into this round.
You were in the lead in the...
Yeah, Tim had...
Tim just got the 50-point answer,
which is why right now he has...
I'm not sure if I believe you.
No.
You just got really mixed up when I accidentally gave you points.
I could just sworn Tim was winning there.
Because I was like, I'm right where...
No, you were 10 points ahead of him coming into this round.
All right.
now I'm not where I want to be.
So I'm going to go with
I'm going to go with Little Mac.
Andy's going with
Little Mac. He's a boxer. He uses these things.
Little Mac is our
40 point answer.
That's crazy because
I was, forgot to it. I was going to hint to you.
Mike Tyson. Yeah, that was the other one. That was the other one.
That's got to be on there. Mike Tyson is not on
there. Oh, shit. I'm on a roll.
You're killing it.
Our 10 point answer, which nobody got, would have been Kiru.
Cosma Kiriu from Like a Dragon.
That's not even, I don't think that's a person.
Our 20 point answer, Donkey Kong.
Okay, that's good.
Yeah.
He plays baseball with his fist.
Yeah.
It's not like he has a signature catchphrase regarding a, you know, involving a punch.
Yeah, when we press B in Smash Brothers, he does like the wind-up punch.
You don't remember Nathan Drake's signature punch?
Time to get punched.
he does say that sometimes
our 30 point answer
of course was gotten by Tim
it was Tifa
and he got the 40 point answer
with Lilamac
Tim got the 50 point answer
with Ryu
which brings us
to our fifth
and final round
right where I want to be too
he'd leave the door open for me
and I'm just hitting you the 50 points
anyway so
let's do this
I gotta say
Nathan Drake wasn't the crazy
I know that you guys are making fun of that
I think that'll go down
in history is the
potentially the worst snub
that's ever happened in this game.
It's just the, you know...
Think about the bar scene in Incharted 3.
It's just the fight...
One other scene.
It's the part where he says
fights mainly with their fists.
Nathan Drake's house counted,
but I'm crazy!
I'm insane for the opening scene
of one of the best-selling video games
of PlayStation history.
He's thought to be a mass murderer
because of the weaponry, usually, you know?
Fair enough.
He's rocket launching and just gunning down
hundreds of dudes.
No, I'm wrong, I know.
Occasionally punching.
He punches?
He just punched quite a bit, though.
I love punching in that.
But he's also shooting a lot more.
Round number five, our fifth and final round here.
Name a yellow video game character.
Dude, dude, it's my chance, baby.
I'm back.
He's back.
I'm back.
Dumbass.
Hold on, dumb ass.
Name a yellow video game character.
Now, because of a tie in the voting, there are two 30-point answers.
So a lot of points on the board here.
Because of a tie in the voting, there are two.
30 point answers.
We're going to start off
with Carl Jacobs.
Let me say.
What is?
SpongeBob SquarePets.
That's locked.
You're the best.
You're the best.
Is that not the best one?
You're the best.
You're the best.
You're the best.
You're the best.
You just mean to give the points to Andy, Carl.
You're the best.
Did you really just do that?
What's the other yellow one?
You're the best.
Holy shit.
You're the best.
You're welcome, man.
I did it on purpose.
Let's go, Big Dog.
Spongebob's, it's up there.
It's a 30.
I bet you has a tie for 30.
No way.
Carl says Spongebob's square pants.
SpongeBob is our 10 point answer.
Okay.
Points on the board.
That's points on the board there.
You guys are for cars.
Anybody watching this right now?
You guys are a bunch of monsters.
Andy.
Pikachu.
Andy says Pikachu.
Can I tell you that wasn't even the one.
that I had a realization about.
That's amazing.
Pikachu
is our 40
answer.
I still got it from.
No, you don't.
Because I'm about to steal it from you, buddy.
It's my turn, right?
It's your turn, Tim.
Pac-Man.
Fuck. Yeah. No way!
Tim says Pac-Man.
Of course.
Pac-Man is our 50-point
answer.
No way!
Did you know it was originally called puckman?
I learned that from Scott's Elgram, yes.
The whole time I was just like, I'm going to say Pikachu,
Pac-Ban is a 40-point answer.
No way that's over Pikachu.
Pac-Man is the yellow character.
No, that is all this big.
He's fucking lost, bro.
He's fucking washed.
He's so washed.
I mean, let's take a look at the sales of SpongeBob the movie the game,
SpongeBob Lights, Camera Pants, Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom, Curse of the Flying
Dutchman.
We're talking about some of the biggest gems of video game history.
Tim fucking won again.
Put each key on the fucking map.
That's unbelievable.
It really is.
I mean, we do have one more round of guessing, so, Carl, we're back to you.
Thank you so much, I'm a 30-point answers.
Where's my briefcase?
Grant stole it.
You know what?
I don't know if we've seen a double-digit game in a long time.
Dude, before this started for the viewers at home, I looked at Tim, I was like, you guys suck at that, dude.
I just think I would crush this.
And now I don't even know if there's a color yellow in video games anymore.
I don't know anything else.
um
man
there's no way
you want to help me
try to get like at least like a
um
let's see
it could be like a whisper maneuver
uh
you can go with Ms. Pac-Man
is the whole
would you count that
in the Pac-Man
family family
I would probably
count that
that means it wasn't even
voted enough
to be even in
would he
yeah
um
sexist out there
yeah
thanks guys
that's apparently
what you guys want to foster.
Is this just me or you guys like locked in on things that are?
I'm not locked in.
Okay.
So keep on installing.
Okay.
I lost anyway.
There's no way.
That's not.
I might give you my points.
Like in the prompt is name.
I can't fucking believe it.
That's shocking to me.
That is crazy.
I would want Pikachu first for sure.
Like I'm, of course.
Yeah, obviously.
Yeah, obviously.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Oh, man.
We had multiple SpongeBob answers this episode.
I really
No, legitimately though, I thought
SpongeBob would have been the Tide for 30.
Okay.
I mean, I wasn't naming for 30.
Yellow.
Oh.
Can I whisper something to you?
What is Scorpion?
Oh.
Carl says Scorpion.
Scorpion.
It's got to be a 30-pointer.
Is not on a list.
That's bullshit.
That's wild.
There's no way.
Andy, with you.
Oh, ah.
Let's see.
Man.
Dude, my mom watches.
She's going to see this.
Let's see.
She's going to be so embarrassed.
Uh.
Okay, we're just going for points right here.
This is basically so KDG at the end of all of this season, when Tim ultimately wins again.
KDG can go back and be like, Andy was the closest to winning all of these.
Right?
Katie G.
Right.
Tim won this one, but we were all kind of in the shuffle.
All of us together.
Are you saying Kenji?
KDG.
Oh, KDG.
KDG.
Kind of, James Galy.
At first I heard KDG, but I, for some reason I heard it as the letters KDG.
Oh, no.
And I was like, who is KDG?
KT.
Yeah, KT.
Apparently, I do a really hard G with the word pinga.
We were playing elderly Nairine.
I kept on telling Alana in blessing.
Like, we're going to blue pinga.
And she was like, do you really?
pronounce the G.
I was self-conscious about it the whole time.
When you're stalling like this,
are you able to also think about yellow characters at the same time?
No, absolutely not.
No, absolutely not.
It's just one of the other.
Let's see here.
Maybe try a SpongeBob again.
Maybe you just misread it.
It's a 10 point and the 30 point.
You sure that wasn't?
You sure that wasn't there?
Let's go with, you know what, blessing?
Why not?
Right?
I love it.
As I'm saying this, I still don't have anybody.
I was agreeing.
I was if I had anything.
We're just having fun
If SpongeBob made the list
I feel like SpongeBob is definitely
And it was only 10
So I don't know that this is
When you think yellow characters
Hey Arnold
What's not fucking hey Arnold
That is an insane thing
But like think about
Who is a yellow character
That's just famous period
A yellow character who's just famous period?
A yellow character who's just famous period
SpongeBob
Pacman number one
You know
I mean
Timothy I don't know
Homer Simpson
Homer Simpson
Homer
Sponson.
Simpson.
OJ Simpson.
Is that your answer?
Homer Simpson.
Andy says
Homer Simpson.
Homer Simpson
is our 30 point answers.
Negative.
One of our 30 point answers here.
Hold on.
Hold on.
No.
Homer Simpson.
The video game character is a buffed SpongeBob.
I mean, hit and run,
man.
A lot of Simpson's video games.
It's wrestling.
Simpson's road race.
Skipboarding was
dog shit. Simpson's skateboarding.
The movie. The game.
The movie The Game is
infinitely worse than SpongeBob the movie
the game. It has a red
case on the PS2. It's a greatest hit.
I mean, he's right. T.HQ.
exists because of them and then stopped existing.
We won't...
But...
But then started existing again.
People cared about them starting to exist again
because of that. They made a
spiritual successor.
When they made... Battle for Bikini Bottom, then made
Cosmic Shake. You think about how Tom, you know, Tom
brought back the movie theaters because of
Top Gun. It really was Spongeball
that brought back to HQ. Like he kept them
a flirt, you know?
And be hydrated them. Uh-huh. What they say about
Lord of the Rings? We got to abuse Lord of the Rings. We've got to
abuse SpongeBob. No, we got to...
Exploit. Exploit. Abuse.
Get over to SpongeBob.
Sorry, Spongebob. All right, Tim, you're a final guess.
Oh, my guy. I get more.
Have there been a 300 in a world?
Yeah.
One of our 30-point answers still left and then our 20-point answers still
See, what gets harder is I don't have any great ones.
Like, they're not yellow characters, but there is yellow
associated with them. Going through my mind,
we have yellow toad.
You know what you mean?
We also have
tails, which I know is orange.
Wow, how have I not thought of it?
But tails is associated with yellow.
He normally gets the yellow, like,
marking.
How the fuck was Scorpion out of them?
I know.
That's crazy.
But the one I'm going to go with, Syrax.
I mean, so you said tails and you're not going to do tails?
No, because I,
Tails is orange.
I don't think I've ever
considered Tails Orange in my entire.
I'm kind of with you.
I don't think I don't have you.
I don't think about you.
At the end of all of this, right,
they're only ever going to remember the final score,
but in your heart,
you'll be looking back and going,
I had Nathan Drake,
why didn't I say that?
And that's my career on this game show.
Like, I had that one thing.
Why didn't I say that, you know?
You know what?
I'm not even worried.
I don't think anybody's going to think about this score
necessarily.
I think they're going to look at it and be like,
Carl put on a really good effort.
You got robbed many times.
Exactly.
Yeah, I mean, I guess I wouldn't say the tails is orange.
Like, he's brown, but I feel like if I had to say between orange and yellow, I'd say orange.
Brown.
Brown. What the fuck?
What color do you think he's orange? He's orange.
I think he's clearly yellow.
He's not brown.
Yellow.
No, he's orange.
How many?
The Fox?
What did you get last time?
You got the 50 pointer?
He's orange yellow.
You got the 50 pointer.
He's dandelion.
And you're colorblind at the same time?
Tails is the most yellow thing tails has been.
Taylor is yellow.
Yeah, I was going to say, like, this is, that's orange.
This is yellow to me.
That's orange.
It's orange.
man. I'm also partially
think about that thing wrapped
around Michelangelo's head. It fits.
But at one point
you also said brown. Yeah, you did
say brown. I was wrong about the brown.
That's what really perplexed me.
I was wrong about the brown.
Dude, there's also, can I try to help you for a second?
Nobody said Wario.
Oh, that's real good.
I'm going to go though with the what I already
had picked in my head. Daisy.
That's stupid.
Tim says Daisy
This guy wins man
Is he emoting on us right now?
Is that what that is?
Yeah, he's like teabagging right now
He's like not even worried
Tim says Daisy
Daisy is not
Wario
On the list
The 20 point answer which nobody got
Was Tails
Only 20s
Our other 30 point answer
That nobody got
Was Wario
A fun tidbit about this one
If I go through
Because this one I kept
all the votes for her because of course they had a tie but also the votes were very close and so of course
our number one vote was pacman packman remember this is out of 1700 um users uh 515
people wrote in with pacman 513 people wrote in with Pikachu oh my god it was off by two
votes there where was spous and i'm gonna and then you then jumped down to homer and wario um 90 92
people voted for wario and for homer simpson homer simpson they got more
votes than tails?
And tied Wario?
He's flustered.
Welcome to our audience.
I heard Carl's voice do
something I've never heard.
Homer Simpson.
You then jump down to
Tails, which got 82 votes.
So that's 10 underneath Wario and Homer.
And then our 10,
10 point answer, SpongeBob, got 52 votes.
Our sixth place answer for this one
would have been Bart, which got 20
votes for Bart Simpson.
Okay, well, hold on.
What's up?
I mean, like, you may as well include the whole Simpson family.
Like, he was a different character in our case.
But why are you including the Pac-Man family all as one?
I'll be honest, Miss Pac-Man got so few votes that it would not have really pushed anything.
It's really telling about the times you're living in.
Miss Pac-Man, frankly, is a better game than Pac-Man.
Everybody says that.
I mean, you're right about that, yeah.
Everybody says that.
Going back in time to round number four, where I asked you to name a strong video game character who fights mainly with their hands.
I've got the mainly part.
That's where I'm not.
Yeah.
Big word,
I wrote down a lot of characters here
because I really like these answers.
So our sixth place answer
with 47 votes was Mike Tyson.
Under Mike Tyson with 45 votes,
you had Ken,
Ken from Street Fighter.
Under Ken,
you had Seifu.
Okay.
And that's just the main character
of Seafood, right?
With 44 votes.
Under Seafu,
you had Batman with 39 votes.
Under Batman,
I'm surprised nobody guessed this.
Knuckles with 38 votes.
He's orange.
He's purple.
Under this,
this is where I kind of like,
I feel,
for Carl here, under Nuckles, you have Indiana Jones with 36 votes, who is like kind of
Nathan Drake adjacent.
No, but there's a big thing.
You're reaching so hard, and I appreciate it a lot.
Yeah, I appreciate that.
I'm trying to help you out.
You said Nathan Drake and I was like, okay, I could kind of, I can do it now.
I think in a, in a, because this is, the internet works in little bursts and clips.
In a clip, I'm going to look like the dumbest person on the planet.
And maybe with the entire video, I'm going to look like the dumbest person on the planet.
But if you take into consideration that they went, Nathan and.
Drake for Holmes, you could see
where my brain went. Yeah. We have a big
PlayStation. They love PlayStation. They love Nathan Drake. I love that. And he's in that one
bar fight scene. Exactly. Which we all
remember. Under Indiana Jones, you have Captain Falcon with 31 votes.
Under that Hulk with 25,
under that ballrog with 24 and under that
Osira with 21 votes. Asura from Asura's wrath.
Oh, sick. Okay. I don't know they were
a fist user.
Asura has like six fists. And he's
using all of them, like the entire game. Fist and left and right.
He's punching like crazy in that game.
He can't help. Good.
Going back a few.
Yeah, I got one more for you. So when I asked
you in round one to name a video game character
who lives in a house.
Our sixth place,
our sixth place answer with 76 votes would have been
Banjo Cizui who lives in a house. Under that, you have
Lara Croft with 69 votes.
Nice. Still past mansion, yeah. Under that, Donkey Kong
once again with 56 votes.
I'm nowhere to be seen. Under that,
Joel from the last of us with 50 votes.
We are so cooked as a people here.
I'm a seventh place, eighth place warrior.
Eddie brought this up earlier, but it's like,
and we all know.
We play this game long enough.
Like, you can always default to God of War last of us uncharted.
Like,
the chance of one of those being there.
Until you can't.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, that's thing is Carl banked on it for the wrong.
The wrong product.
If you said it here, that's 50 points.
You said it in the wrong place.
Then under Joel, you had CJ from San Anjua's 22 votes.
And under CJ.
That's a good one.
Under C.J., you have Eareth.
Arith's house is a big deal too, yeah.
Yep, yep.
She does live in it.
And that is it for all the other prompts.
Man, you really had Nathan Drake.
Like, that was crazy.
I can't believe that happened.
I can't believe he did that to me.
That's the way it works.
Barrett?
What's the final score?
The final score coming in last place.
By a country mile, but you know what?
He had a fun time.
Is Greg Miller happy about it?
Probably not.
It was Carl Jacobs for Team.
Blue.
Add a two to the front.
50 points.
So it looks cooler.
In second place.
So close.
So close.
Yet so far, once again,
always the Bridesme, never the bride.
It is Andy, the Nitro Rifle Cortez for Team 4 with 260 points.
And our winner for this kind of feudy, he cannot be stopped.
It is Tim Geddy's for Team Orange with 270 points.
Who's going to stop me?
Carl, I just want to say, I've known you for, what, seven years?
And, like, you just not changed.
You were the exact same person who I met.
Which is exciting.
Me and Blessing, I have a great relationship.
And before the show wraps, obviously, we had the announcement that we wanted to announce.
Yes, of course.
Go for it.
So you co-signed this announcement.
I did, yeah.
Okay, sweet.
I'm not sure if Greg's still in the building.
But the announcement was, I'm excited to announce.
that stars plural does indeed mean three stars.
Three stars.
Three,
that's more than Greg even was asking or pushing for.
So even when I get last place,
Team Blue's getting a star, baby.
Oh, no, let's go.
Wait all along.
Worked like a dream.
Am I right, Andy?
Sure.
You fell right to the trap.
You thought that I actually think Sponged by.
You thought that I would say Sponged by.
No one would say.
Punch Bob?
Literally,
dumbass!
I'm being an idiot!
Yeah!
Damn.
Well, there you have it.
Three, Tim.
Yeah, three.
So how many stars do I have?
How would you, like...
Well, for bringing up the star standings, of course, coming into this episode,
Team Blue came in with two stars, team orange came in with three,
Team Purple came in with zero stars.
Team Orange, and, excuse me, just earned their fourth star of the season.
Wow.
It's such huge.
I'm doing better than Andy.
Okay.
Oh yeah
Eddie
I need you to get away in here man
Me too
Tim, me too
Fucking Pikachu
over Pac-Man
A Pac-Man over Pikachu
is crazy to me
His whole thing is being
Yellow
It's crazy to me
I mean Pac-Man
You know older than Pikachu
Been around longer
He's just like that man
It's like Pikachu
He's Pikachu
I love the argument for Barrett
That like I get where you're coming from
But it's also very funny
Funny to say
That Pac-Man's whole thing
Is being yellow
Am I wrong?
Am I wrong?
If I said Pac-Man
First, everybody would have been like idiot,
Pikachu was right there.
And then you would have gotten the 50-point answer,
and you would have seemed like a fucking genius.
No, that's for visiting history!
I mean, did the first Pokemon game,
that barely even had color in it.
Exactly.
Pokemon Yellow is the game.
How are he supposed to know?
Pokemon Yellow!
How many PS2 greatest hits did either of those have?
That's a great point.
That's a really good thing.
Actually, Pacman, I'm sure, had a bunch
with all those weird-ass media collections.
Oh, we.
Ladies gentlemen, that's been another episode of Game Showdown.
Carl Jacobs, thank you so much for joining us.
It's been a fantastic episode.
I need a redemption episode.
Oh, come by whenever you want.
Yeah, I could be on either of your guys too much.
Let's keep you with Greg.
Feels right.
Of course, this has been Game Showdown, your nerdy trivia show.
We'll be back next week with a new episode.
Until next time, it's been our pleasure to serve you.
