A few weeks ago on Game Showdown, there was a mishap in which Mike Howard of Team Purple didn't receive points on a particular round that he was supposed to. This led to a result earning Greg Miller of Team Blue a star when ultimately this should have resulted in a tie. Today, to start off this episode, we are remedying that by giving Mike a chance to steal one of Greg stars and Greg a chance to defend his star. This will be decided. I mean, listen, don't look at me. right. October 1990, your Missouri Tigers versus the Colorado Buffaloes. What happened, Mike? The famous, some would say infamous fifth down. Missouri stops the buffaloes. One, two, three, four. But the stupid fucking refs don't catch that it was fourth down. Give them a fifth down.

They're able to score. What happens when they figure out there was a mistake? Riffs are so stupid that you say we let it ride. You let this ride. This is bullshit. If anything, I should get the star I was awarded and keep it. Mike can maybe compete for another star. Hors shit. This is horseshit. Roger, KD.G, put it in the record books. I am playing under protest.

Again, Greg will have a chance to defend the star. This will be decided by a single trivia question. Greg and Mike, you can buzz in to answer. The Donkey Kong franchise. recently released its latest big title, Bonanza, but has also plenty of spinoff titles as well. Which of the following Donkey Kong spinoffs isn't a real game? Got it.

Is it A. Donkey Kong barrel blast. B. D.K. King of Swing. C. Donkey Kong Jungle Climber. D. D.K. Banana Blitz or E. Donkey Kong Jr. Math.

You have five options there. You have A, Donkey Kong barrel blast, B, DK King of Swing, C, Donkey Kong Jungle Climmer, D, DK Banana Blitz, or E, Donkey Kong Jr. Math, which isn't a real Donkey Kong spin-off. So what happens if neither of us get it right? Then we'll go again. Oh, fuck, I don't get to keep it. That isn't, this isn't Mike's one shot to make it right? Oh, it's even.

Why is this fucking deck stacked for Mike? You got to fight for it. You got to earn it. I mean, it's not stacked for Mike. It seems pretty stacked right now. seem pretty stacked right now. I walked out with an award. I came home.

I said, Ben, guess what? And he went, I got, got Guku. And I said, I got a star. I got another star. Barrett, how many stars do I currently have? Two. Mike. Let me take B on the board.

B. D.K. King of Swing is incorrect. Greg. E, the math one. E. Donkey Kong Jr. Math is incorrect, which means, Mike, we're back to you. Is it? A. Donkey Kong barrel. blast. C. Donkey Kong

Jungle Climber or D. D.K. Banana Blitz. Mike says D.K. Banana Blitz. That is the correct answer. Team Purple's on the ball. Baird, if you can subtract a star from Team Blue, adding that to Team Purple, meaning starting off the... Meaning a miscarriage of justice

has happened and you're all witnesses. Team Purple is now... One day I'm going to go fucking crazy. You're all going to wonder where it started. It started right. in here. Game showdown. Today, we're playing a brand new game where the goal isn't just the game points, but to take them. Get ready for game showdown. Count the scores. Yeah, what's up? Welcome to Game Showdown. I'm your host Blessing at Aalier Jr. I'm joined by three contestants representing three teams. We got Tim Getty's representing Team Orange. Let's go. We got Andy Cortez

representing Team Purple. Two star purple. Come on, baby. Come out. I'm playing with House money. Mike's doing all the work. This is great. And we have your season three champion. Greg Miller representing Team Blue. Fuck you. And we're starting off with a trivia question worth. One of these cards that are on the table, the deck that's right in front of you,

this is around a bullet points. I'll explain more about that later. I'm going to read few details about a game, one bullet point at a time. It is your job to buzz in and guess what this game is. You can buzz in once per bullet point. Starting with the first bullet point.

This game is the first game. game in a series to feature an open world. This game is the first game in the series to feature an open world. Andy Cortez. Grand Theftada. Grant Thedado is incorrect. Greg Miller. Tunic.

Tunic is incorrect. Tim. Breath of the Wild. Breath of the Wild is incorrect. Moving us to bullet point number two. During gameplay, the players will occasionally receive phone calls or text messages. During gameplay, the players will occasionally. occasionally receive phone calls or text messages.

If nobody has a guess, we'll move on. Greg. Pokemon Violet Scarlet. Pokemon Violin Scarlet. Is incorrect. I know, you know how he likes to get cute with it, Tim. Grandadotto 3? Grandadotto 3 is incorrect.

Andy. Pokemon Sword and Shield. Pokemon Sword and Shield is incorrect. As he moved to bullet point number three, this game never got a digital re-release. It never got a digital re-release. If nobody has a guess, we'll move on to bullet point number four. Greg. Grand Theft Auto 4.

Grant Theft Auto 4 is incorrect. Bullet point number 4. Like its predecessor, the game features a licensed soundtrack by EA tracks. It features a licensed soundtrack by EA tracks. Tim. SSX. That is incorrect. Bullet point.

Greg. I'm so buzzing on that. Yeah. Skate 2? That is incorrect. Okay. Andy. Skate 3 is incorrect.

Bullet point number 5. According to Electronic Arts, this game sold above 8.4 million units by the end of 2004. Tim. SSX3. Incorrect. 8.4 million units. by the end of 2004.

Can we hear them all again? Sure running back. Thanks brother. It's the first game in the series to feature in open world. During gameplay, the player will occasionally receive phone calls or texts. This game never got a digital re-release. Like its predecessor, the game features a licensed soundtrack by EA tracks.

And according to EA, this game sold above 8.4 million units by the end of 2004. We have our sixth and final bullet point. This game's story... Greg. I never did the last one. Did I do the last one already? Did I already buzz in the last one? No, you just asked him to run it back. Okay.

SimCity Four. SimCity Four is a ingot. It's a good guess. That's not bad. Now we're fully into round number six. Got it. This game's story takes place after the initial events of the previous title, shortly after the player beats Eddie and his street racing gang.

Andy. Need for speed. Hot pursuit. Need for speed. pursuit is incorrect. Greg. Need for shoot underground. That is incorrect.

Tim. Need for speed. Underground. Two. That is the correct answer all the way down to the wire. Tim, do me a favor. You can draw a card from that middle deck you see right there.

You're going to have to stretch a little bit. We got props, y'all. We got props today. Don't look at them just yet. I'll prompt you when you can. Of course. If we look at them now, he'll just change the next show.

So it's fun. Remember this is Game Showdown. Kind of funny. He'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. Ladies and gentlemen, what was like to watch a crime

happen to do nothing? You know? We all like to imagine we'd spring into action and stop the crime. You're all sad. Your little fat little fingers on your phone, not doing anything. Thanks.

Remember when Mike was supposed to give me the bonus star? And then he was like, Andy, you never played for me, you never let me play for you. Which just wasn't true. Thank you our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, and Delaney, the song, Twining. Today we're brought to you by solo leveling, Arise Overdrive. The action RPG based on the popular solo leveling franchise launches on November 17th and is open for pre-order and wishlisting on Steam

and Xbox PC, but folks at TwitchCon can experience an exclusive demo at the solo leveling arise override booth and also Shadyrays, but we'll tell you about that later. For now, let's play Chip Damage. Chip Damage is a brand new game and the rules are simple. Chip damage is a question and answer game about video games. I'll give you a question. You have your buzzers that you'll use to buzz in and answer said question. You can buzz in once per round. That would be eating chips.

Now here's the twist. Chip damage isn't about gaining points. It's about not losing them. Barrett, do me a favor. Put 100 points on each of the scoreboards. This is as high as it will go for me. Screen cap, this one. Your points are your health bar.

If you give the correct answer, you can deal 10 damage to a player of your choosing. If your points hit zero, you're out of the game. Whoever ends with the most points or the last player standing wins. Contestants, are you ready? Just devised a way to make me hate this show more. How can I not look forward to the two people next to me? Oh, man. This is going to be great.

Let's start with round number one. which Game Boy Advanced Game, known for its turn-based strategy gameplay, recently got a reboot title, Andy? Advanced Wars. Advanced Wars is the correct answer. Now, Andy, you have the option to attack either Tim or Greg, but you also have the option to draw. Now, Game Showdown has many modes, a roguelike, a co-op adventure,

and now a deck-building game. These cards that you have in front of you, which you can now look at, the hands that I have in front of you, The two. The two that you have. Yeah, yeah, yeah. These cards function as items that you can play to screw over your opponents. Collect them or use them, but once you use them, they get discarded.

You, of course, started off with two in your hand. I believe Tim got to draw an extra one. Andy, since you got the question correct, you can choose to draw a card or attack Greg or Tim. Okay, but I'll be drawing from there, right? Yes. I'm drawing from that center thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd like to leach life.

I'm going to take 10 points from Andy. All right, go for it. Can you read that out loud exactly what that? Leach life play anytime. Steal 10 points from another player. You can just use your card. I'm picking Andy. I mean, one that says play anywhere.

Maybe they'll change that role next week and then take the points back to you. Oh, wow. There you go. Greg got 10 points. Andy loses 10 points there. Okay. I will use my...

I will take points from Greg. Which with card? Oh, you're going to attack. Yeah. Just gonna attack. Okay, cool. When you attack Greg, Greg's points go down by 10,

which means Greg is back to 100. As we move on to round number two. Magic the Gathering often collabs with various brands, such as Final Fantasy and Sonic the Hedgehog, lending those IP to original magic cards. Which of the following video game franchises hasn't received a magic collab? Is it, Fortnite, near Assassin's Creed or Street Fighter?

Greg. Fortnite. Fortnite. is incorrect. Tim. Near. Near is the correct answer. Would you like to attack one of these players

or draw a card? Dr. Carth. Tim's going to draw a card. As we move to round number three, in a standard game of Tetris, how many different shapes of tetrominoes are there? Tim.

Five. Five is incorrect. Andy, 12. 12. What? Now I got time. Jesus Christ. 12 is incorrect.

I mean, we got, so it's just me now, right? So the line block, of course, we got the square block. We got the Z.

Now, would you be, the Zs can come in two varieties. Does that count or is it usually putting a Z block as a Z block? I don't know if I can answer that. Okay. But you see my confusion. I see your confusion.

So I'm push. That's fucked up, though, because right, like, I guess if you were, like, if I was making Tetris cookies, I would make two Z blocks and I'd do them one way and the other. So I'll say there's four total blocks. Four is incorrect.

Damn. There's actually, you only get one guess for each. There are actually seven shapes in Tetris. Yeah. You have the I. So like this, the straight one. A long bar, yeah. Yeah, you have the, they call it the O, the square.

So you have the four. You have the T. Ah, I've got the T. Yeah, you have the T. You have the S, the J and the L. Did you get this from a GDQ clip? I might have actually. That's why I thought it was like a much higher number.

Somebody asked these Tetris speed runners, the question, and a guy in the back was like, come on! Like a guy in the audience is like really angry. That is exactly where I got it. Yes, that's exactly where I got it. Tetra... Bonus points for me. I believe...

I'm trying to remember if the word Tetris is derived from like something meaning seven. I could have swore it was, but I can't remember exactly. Somebody double-checked me on that. As we move to round number four, This is a quick fire round. Cards cannot be used during this. I'm going to list out the names of indie games. You need to buzz in and tell me whether this game was published by Annapurna, DeValra digital, or Team 17.

Each correct answer gives you the chance to heal five damage or attack another player for just five. Contestants, are you ready? Yeah. Number one, date everything. Greg. Devalver Digital. That is incorrect. Tim.

What are the options? Devolver, Anapurna, or Team 17? That is correct. Do you want to heal five or attack for five? Can I heal over my full? Yeah. Yeah, I'm healing. All right, that brings Tim to 105. Next one, neon white.

Andy. Anna Perna. That is correct. You healing or attacking? I'm healing. All right, Andy's going to heal for five points. Next up. Blastomis 2.

Greg? Team 17. Team 17 is the correct answer. Which one are you choosing? I would like to heal. All right. That brings them up to 105. Next one.

Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood. Tim. At a perna. That is incorrect. Greg Miller. Team 17. That is incorrect. Wow.

What was the other one? Devolver Digital. Devalver digital. I've nearly even heard that. Devolver is usually so good at marketing. How old is that? Oh, I want to say that came out like two or three years ago. Andy, what's your option here?

I'm gonna heal. All right, that brings Andy back up to 100. Number five, honey, I joined a Colt. Tim. At a perna. That is incorrect. Greg. Team 17?

That is the correct answer. What's you doing? Oh, sorry, I'm gonna keep healing. All right, another five for Greg. I'm a lover and not a fighter. I just don't want to hang on my friends on this show. You guys come in, you fucking rub my glass in my eyes. Number something I've did, Roger.

You know what I mean? I should have never given you that money at that fucking New York Comic-Con. This is the last one. Mundan. Anapurna. Anapurna is the correct answer. Yes.

Finally, third-seller of dozens of units, Mundan. What's you doing, Tim? You're going to attack or you're going to heal? Oh, uh, heal. All right. That's another five points to Tim. Uh, we're going to move on to round number,

cards are on the table. Number five. 1999's Hot Shots Golf 2 was the first in the series to feature crossover characters including Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal or Sir Daniel Fortiskay from medieval. Fortescue, thank you, from medieval.

And which video game reptile? Tim. Gex. That's the only one I can think of, right? Gex is the correct answer. Do you want to attack or do you want to draw? He's going to draw again.

I was going to say crock. Round six. Bella, Cassandra, and Daniela are the names of the three daughters of which horror game villain. Tim. Lady Demonstreiske from Resident Evil Village. That is the correct answer, Tim. You're going to draw or you're going to attack? He's being shot.

I'm just trying to play strategy here. I'm going to draw. He's going to draw again. There's going to be no more cards left. I just feel like we should have done the one-on-one at the end. Because, like, I'm just, I'm just, no, I'm not here. You know what I mean? We had to get it out the way.

People have been asking for it. People have wanted us to solve this issue. Yeah. So you had a front-loaded, sadly. Number seven. I want a new issue solved, all right? And that's justice. Quantic Dream is often known for their decision-based cinematic narrative games.

Released in 2013, their game Beyond Two Souls, starred Elliott Page as Jody and another big celebrity as Nathan Dawkins. Who? Greg. Willem Defoe. Willem Defoe is the correct answer. You're going to draw or are you going to attack? I'll draw.

We're going to be out of cards soon here. That's where the fun starts. Round eight. Round eight is what I'm going to call a battle precursor round. Whoever gets this question correct, not only gets their choice of attacking or drawing, they're also exempt from our 1v1 battle round that you'll hear about later. This is a messy mashup. I'm going to read to you a clue which would be the description of the game.

The answer would be the name of two games mashed up together. For example, I might say in this game sneak through top-down corridors while defending the earth from alien invasion. The answer would be Metal Gear's of War. Contestants, are you ready? Yes. So ready. A five-part zombie series set in a famous comic book universe turns into first-person psychological horror. Starring Asterian and Kazan, actors have to look out for each other.

Tim. I got it. The Walking Dead Take. The Walking Dead. take is the correct answer. Andy's going to draw. That does bring us to round number nine, which is a battle round. Tim, you're exempt from this. So this is Greg versus Andy. This is a 1V1 challenge. Cards can't be used during this round. For this round, the rules are simple. I'm going to list a video game. Your task is to buzz in and tell me what city this game takes place in.

Each correct answer hits the other player for five point. Are you ready? Yeah. The division. Greg. The original one, New York City. That is correct. That's five points away from Andy.

Number two, fallout four. Greg. Boston. That is correct. That's another five points from Andy. Next time. Sleeping dogs. Andy.

Tokyo. That is incorrect. Greg. Hong Kong. Hong Kong is correct. Damn. Next one. I'm gonna be called racist for that.

I needed to run through the title multiple times. Like, wait, is it what am I thinking of the right one? Sleeping dogs lie in Hong Kong. It's the one. It's the full title, yeah. Cyberpunk 2077. Andy. New, no.

I mean, they got Pacifica in there. I know that. We have a 15 second time. They got Pacifica. They got Pacifica, yeah. Where is justice for Greg? I'm counting down from 10. There is justice for Greg.

Five. Everything was more. Three, three, two, one. That is incorrect, Andy. Knight City. Night City is the threat. That was so painful. Liberty, New Dunk City.

Next one. Assassin's Creed Unity. Oh, fuck that. Yeah, I know, I got it, London. That is incorrect. Damn. They were British. Versailles.

Oh, no, they weren't. Versailles is incorrect. The correct answer would have been Paris. And the last one, infamous second son. Empire City, baby. That is incorrect. Infamous second son, fuck! Oh, Seattle.

Seattle! I was so excited, infamous. I was just like, locked in Colm McGrath. Let's fucking go. He said that with such confidence that I was like, am I wrong? Is that what the... That's good. That's good. Oh, man.

Barrett, can we get a score? We can't? Fuck you. The score as it stands right now in last place, but there's still plenty of game left to go. Can he carry the momentum that Mike began at the beginning of this episode? It's Andy Cortez with Team Purple with 80 points. Good morning night city! That's all I was thinking.

I couldn't hear it. In second place, it is the man who deservedly lost the star at the beginning of this episode. is Greg Miller for Team Blue with 105 points and in the lead he's playing the long game today will it pay off for him it is Tim Geddes with 110 points but it's still

anybody's game we got a lot more game left and I'm really excited to see what Tim does with all those cards but before we continue I want to tell you about patreon.com slash kind of funny and YouTube.com slash kind of funny games where you can get the kind of funny membership which allows you

You're going to attack? Well, it's like I'd like to attack which has got everything in the world to fight back with. I don't know what's going to happen. So instead, just for having the audacity to fuck me over, Team Purple. I'm going to attack Team Purple and I will attack them for 25 damage.

How did I fuck you over? Team Purple when you stole back my... I'm gonna use my heist card and steal that from you. Now can you read what that first card does for the audience? Sure. I was using the gravity hammer play while attacking. Attack one player for 25 damage. Cool. And as the as Greg did that, Andy, what was that card you played? A heist card that says play right as someone plays a card.

And it says steal that card. Go ahead and steal that card. That's yours now. And you don't get hit for the damage. Bitch ass. Do it to Tim, hit a Tim, hit Tim. I've always been in your corner. Say it again, read it again. What?

Can you read that again? What's that? Round number 12. One of Tim's cards is get somebody to read the card twice. Get 30 points. What tagline was given to the Little Big Planet Games condensing their core gameplay loop into three? Play Create Share.

Play Create Share is the correct answer. He's taking the last card, which means we can't draw. There's one for. There was two cards. There was two cards. I want the card. I went the card.

They win the money. Round 13. Ultimate Ninja Storm is the subtitled given to the fighting game series of which popular Tim. Naruto. Naruto is the correct answer. There you go. Tim draws the last card. Round number 14. This is another battle precursor round.

If you all go over, then lowest guess gets the points. Are you ready?

Yes. Including the zombie army spinoff games. Oh, shit. How many games are in the sniper elite series? We're going to start off with Tim since you're in first place here. And not counting the spinoffs? I'm sorry? Including the spinoffs.

Including the zombie army spinoff games. How many games are there in the sniper elite series? Six. Tim says six Greg I don't like I don't like Andy being here I wish I was going last

you know also I just don't like Andy he's a criminal I'm gonna say seven Greg says seven Andy what say you eight

Andy says eight Andy says eight the correct answer is 12 there are 12 games in the zombie army series meaning Andy you have your choice to draw

or attack and you're also exempt from the following 1V1 What? You can draw a card or you can attack But I'm still exempt, right? Yeah, you're still exempt. Yeah, you're still exempt.

I'll draw a card. We're going to draw a card. Bringing us to round number 15, it's another battle round. This is between Tim and Greg. Cards cannot be used during this round. This is a 1-V-1 challenge that I need you to bust out your whiteboards for.

Yeah, let's draw some stuff. Whoever wins this round will deal 20 damage to the other player. If you tie, you each receive 10 damage. Damn. Okay. On the North American box art of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, there are eight characters displayed.

I want you to write down the names of these characters. You get eight slots, whoever can list more correct characters when you have one minute on the clock and go. Again, I am asking for the characters displayed on the PlayStation All-Star Battle Royale box art. There are eight characters. It's a neck in neck right now. Wow.

There are eight characters displayed. You have eight slots to work with here. Greg wrote Tommy Pickles, by the way. I love how both of them locked in as soon as they heard the question. Wasting no time. Damn, I would have gotten, like, one of these. I am not good at this game. I did a test of this one with, I think, Roger and Barrett,

and it was very interesting to see, like... You said eight shit. Eight, yeah, eight slots. You got eight seconds left on the board. Five, four, three, two. And we're going to start off with Tim. Tim, what are your answers here? I have Sweet Tooth.

Nathan Drake. Toro. Nailed it. Fat princess. Raiden. Zeke. That's how it's spelled. Zeke.

The four. Cratos. Did you say Cretto twice or just once? He did say Cretto. Oh, no, no, I'm sorry. I apologize. Okay, cool, go, go, go. Nice job on Zeke, though. Good Paul on Zeke.

Who the fuck is Zeke? He's, he wasn't on the cover. He's Paul's best friend and infamous. Not in his second son notably. Very different. He say those one more time for me. Sweet Tooth. Nathan Drake.

Toro. That princess. Raiden. Zeke. Kratos. Okay. He's very big in Japan. He's a Japan character.

Greg, what you got for me? I have Kratos sack boy. Sweet tooth. Drake as in Nathan Drake, of course. Toro with the leak. I put that in there. Very important. That's always a big part of him.

Ratchet from Ratchet and Clank, Pat upon, which I know isn't there, and then a very hastily written call at the end from infamous. All right, all right, all right. The actual. Tora's the little kitty cat that has, he, but I don't know what you might be. He's huge in Japan. He was very much like one of those. He's by PSA and Avatar now.

Yeah. Forever and always. Keep me honest by reading your as well. Crados. Sack boy. Sweet tooth. Drake. Toro with the leak.

Ratchet. Patapon. Cole. Greg, I'm not trying to call you out. How does that look like Cole? That looks like PM, Prime Minister. I will admit it is very badly written. But again, if you won't go back on the tape, it was this.

You don't want to give it to me, no give it to me. But I wouldn't. Yeah. It's either PM or Cole. Wait. Is that supposed to say cool or just to say it's supposed to say cool? But I admit it's horrible writing. I think he won anyway, then.

I don't think I did. Fat Princess is a dynamite grab by Tim. fucking fuck. Well, I guess the Cole thing actually doesn't matter because Cole isn't on the box. Sorry. Thank you. Uh, the actual answer is Cratos, Nathan Drake, Bear has a brought up. Oh, you had, oh, you killed me.

Big Daddy. Right in. Ratchett. Isn't you? Yeah, but you had Rade and you had fat princess. I didn't have sack boy. Oh, fuck then. I don't know what this means.

So what it means is that, and keep me honest on this, I count four for each of you. Yeah, we're tied. We're tied. All right. Each of you lose any head points. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, no, Toro's not there. Okay.

But I think I should probably get a point for saying Toro with the leak because that was a big deal. I'm called Toro. And I'm proud of you for that. I'm shocked you both. Yeah, wrote down Toro. But yes, that means both of you will lose 10 points for this.

I can't believe that Zeke is a real character day. I was like, one of those infamous fuckers. Everyone was mad about. Greg was so mad. I was not mad about Zique. All right. Mad about something.

Mad about Cole's redesign. Mad about you. God, remember that show? Mad about you, baby. Ooh, we're going to move on to round number 16.

Before we do that, though, Oh. Why not make things interesting? Yeah, let's just make things interesting. Let's just do everything I can. So let's see. You know what?

Do you really get that many questions? Shouldn't have made such a big con, like big declaration there. I'm just going to do still 10 points from another player. I am going to go. Andy, pick up or down? Down.

Sorry, Andy. Sorry, Andy. Leave life leech. Go ahead and place that in the discard. Damn, it's tough. Wow. Really didn't need that. You're gonna stop there?

You got more to go. Um. That's it for now. All right, that's it for now. Round number 16, Andy. I want to life leash and steal back from Tim. There you go. Damn.

I love that you guys are just trading the points back and forth. Yeah. I need those points, Tim. Don't fuck me like that. That's fair. That's fair. I'll never fuck me like that. Now, keep your whiteboards in front of you for this next round because this is a betting round.

Cards also cannot be used during this round. I'm going to ask you a question and you'll have a minute to write down your answers. But before I ask, each of you will need to bet a certain amount of points. The topic is short and tall video game characters. How many points are you guys betting? Let's start with Tim. Can I ask a little more questions about the format of this? Is this one answer or is this multiple answers?

This, hmm, how much do I want to tell you here? Nothing. Roger says, Roger says tell you nothing. I'm going to say, I'm not going to tell you anything. All right. Yeah, Roger really doesn't want to tell you anything. Cool. I'm going to go 20.

All right. Tim's betting 20 points. Greg, how many of you been? Let's do 40. Whoa. Andy, how much? There's one thing I know is short and tall guys, all right? 79.

Oh! Do you want to do me a favor and round that to like an even? Oh, shit. Either 75 or 70. I just wanted to see one though. I thought it'd be funny if I lost with one. Yeah, you're one point. I don't know if we're formatted for that.

We might be formatted. Yeah, Barrett says this fine. Yeah, yeah. All right, we'll do 79. Yeah, it's type of numbers. If that breaks anything, we'll figure it out later. Yeah. Yeah, it just doesn't matter.

Yeah. Like, he's got it right there. One. I didn't know Knight City. Like, Oh, we took the points now. I see. Thank you. Thank you. So Greg had bet 40, Tim bet 20,

80 bet 79. The question. I want to change you. Just bet it all. I did the math and I'm like, wait, no, that's not going to. So if, what am I doing? I mean, are you sure? Yeah, fuck it. All right.

If you're wrong, then you just instantly lose. Cool. I've already been destroyed. from a moral and of course objective standpoint you're all watching it. He deserves to win. He deserves to win. No, no, no, I'm just saying like, what if I don't, if I don't, if I don't do the usual Greg Miller, slimy, schemy, win it somehow bullshit way, it's not going to happen.

We all know who's got the talent. All right, Greg is spending in 95. I don't know what's about to happen. so it's like... The only question I knew was 10 is that if he buzzet first. If I got the 40 points back and Tim also gets it, I'm not going to beat Tim. So it's like, well, if I can just take it, I don't understand.

Yeah, but what if you get it and Tim doesn't get it, you know? Tim, right or write or die Greg? I like this, dude. What are we doing? Be a man, Tim, put them all in. The question goes like this. Who are the tallest and shortest characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?

If you get one of these right, you get the same amount of points back. So you get back to where you were, to where you were. If you get both of them right, you get double the points. And so... Were you in an order or something? No, just two. Who's the tallest and who's the shortest character in the game? In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

So again, Greg having bet 95 points, if he gets one of these right, he'll get back those 95. If he gets both of them right, he gets 95 times two. 190. It took me a second to my head, guys. The question is, who are the tallest and shortest characters? So we're just writing two people. Two people. You're writing down the...

The tallest character in Smash Ultimate and the shortest character in Smash Ultimate. Okay. Looks like Tim has his locked in. I'm stressing, man. Andy, do you have your locked in? Oh, yeah, I'm just dude. Oh, okay, we're all locked in, so we don't even need the rest of the timer. Let's start.

Let's start with Andy. My tallest character is Gannondorf. Yeah, that's a good one I should have done. And my shortest is Pichu. All right. Greg. I don't know if we're going by lore or like how they actually look at the game. I'm saying tallest Captain Falcon,

but I would have said Gannon if I would have thought it in time. And then shortest Mr. Game and Watch. All right. And then Tim. This gets so tough with the lore and the size and how tall are they standing. Your hit box. What are we dealing with?

Biggest. Tallest. Ridley. Smallest, Alamar. So the correct answer. For the tallest character, you have Ridley.

Damn. Ridley. is 2.9 meters tall. That's 9 feet 6 inches. And that's going from the base of his head standing with like his neck stretched. Ridley is the tallest. Are we sure he's a boy?

Actually, I have no idea. And then the shortest, Pichu. Yeah. Pichu stands at 0.8 meters tall. That's 2 feet, 7 inches. He's one foot in Pokemon, but the size is increased for Smash Bros.

That's how to talk about that tiny. I mean, apparently, the people are too smaller than all the one. I'd like to know the numbers. They're not going to go. Somebody can find the numbers for us. I would like to know the numbers, but it's okay. It's okay.

I'll accept it. What that means is that Andy gets the same amount of points back. So if you can get back his 79 points, which he did, he's back up to 80. Tim gets the same amount of points back. So Tim is back up to whatever that was. 120. It was 120, right?

No, he was at 80 before. He bet 20. So now he's back to 100. Oh. Well, I thought Andy was at 80 before. I think Tim was at 120 before. I did. I did a lead.

Tim was at 100 before. This is right. Oh, this is right? I just, I just do it. Canceled out. We'll sort it out next week. We'll sort it out next week. It's fine. What happens here on the playing field doesn't matter.

So we were just playing for what we bet to get back. Well, if you got both of correct, you would have gotten even more points. Got it. Got it. Cool. And then Greg got neither correct. And so Greg is RIP. You should have done one point.

I'm all in today, buddy. They can't fuck me harder than they fucked me to start the show. I mean, you tied. I came around. the corner excited for a game show. What happens at a tie? Usually a tie breaker. Did I fuck up? Yeah, what happens? It usually does and it didn't. So the call the

rule on the field stands. Look, remember that football game where they had to come on their towels to fucking finish? That's what just happened here, except it was three weeks later. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about? He knows what I'm talking about. Roger, just because you don't care about sports doesn't mean other people don't care about sports. And you don't have a microphone, Rogers, just calm down, right? Sandra Bull. Right on your little no pat how to fuck me next week. Go ahead for it.

Have fun. I need y'all to understand. There's a moment. You need to rewind the tape and look at me. I've never thought deeper about Is Alamar taller than Pichu? But I like that you've thought about it before. I have. Because Pichu, when he runs, he's so small and load of the ground. But it's when he stands, man. But in real life, Olimar is like a centimmy.

He's a little tiny guy. So it's definitely just smash Bros. Ingame. I'm playing a game. Playing a game, all right? Redacted. I don't know when this goes up. And they make a comment about how small this guy's dick is. I looked at it. That was pretty good looking dick, so I don't even know. You know what I mean? I don't even know.

I think I'm playing the same game and had the same thought. It was like, that wasn't a small dick. You know what I mean? That's fucking God damn. Yeah, we are. Well, Greg is out of the game, meaning that is now down to Andy and Tim. And that does bring us to our 17th and final round.

Our final round for the game. Shit, that puts me in a bad spot. This final round is called all out war. Different from before. In this quick fire round, each correct answer gives you the chance to heal 10 points or attack another player for 10. There's no drawing. Cards however you can use the cards that you have so I'm not out. I'm still playing no you're out Oh because you have zero points. Oh yeah I said that the beginning of the show. Oh sorry I didn't pay attention

It's okay. I see you guys later. I see you guys like you can't oh you couldn't have Fucking bullshit. You know what I mean? I said it at the beginning no not this that's fine. I don't give you shit about that How would I remember that everybody? I just got punched from the fucking face. I try to stop you That would have been a better thing than do you really want to give all the point you know what I mean? Yeah. Do you really want to do all the points? Maybe you should have said that Then we'd be out of the game then. I don't know if I could have said it any clear at the top of the show. I had just gotten punched in the face. Greg, think of all the portrait modes where I drew full bodies

and you drew shoulders up and they're like, yeah, that looks great, Greg. Like, yeah, Andy has those legs. Greg just drew a head. Apparently, if you can get enough to people in the chat to stump for you, they'll reverse the decision to make you fight for the same point. That was the funny. That I will say. So I'll tell you what, everybody.

If you're upset at the portrait mode decisions from the pass. Go ahead and BS. That's blue sky. Tim. BS blessing. And then maybe we can compete for the fucking season three championship again. It was Roger's idea to do the tie record guys. Roger. Roger. Roger. Great job. Roger. What a surprise. Sports fanatic Roger doesn't know how it's supposed to go when there's a competition between two Titans. Now, you want to rerun the elections too? What are we doing? It was really funny that day in Slack where Greg messaged everybody said, hey guys, there's kind of a controversy happening in the chat in the comment section.

Don't go read it. I'll deal with it. And it just so happened that everybody was like, hey, it's a tie, it's a tie, it's a tie. God. Okay, so as a reminder,

coming into this final round, it's all out war. So what that means is that if you get a correct answer, you can either heal for 10 points or you can attack another player for 10 points. There's no drawing,

but you can use the cards that are in your hand. Greg, sucks that you're out for this one because this is the return of publisher puns. I'm going to give you short puns slash clues. Each of the answers to these clues is a video game publisher.

Contestants, are you ready? Tim, I'm playing with you. You want me to come sitting in your chair with you? No. You sure? Yeah. You sure? Change your mind.

There's like no winning. You know what I mean? Even when it's helpful, I hate it. Do you all my cards too? I gave you my cards. It sounds like a deal with the devil he's trying to make with you. First round. It's like Disneyland, but for technology.

Buzzing Tim. I'm just going to say it. Buzzy! I don't like it. Buzzy! No! Buzzy! I'm playing the game.

that Blessing and Roger works so hard to put on for us. I don't want to find. No. Andy. Techland. Techland is correct. So you want to heal for 10 or attack him? I'm coming to you.

Security. I'm a fucking menace. What are the rules? You can attack him for 10. You can heal for 10. You can play a card if you want to. I will... I'll heal for 10.

He's going to heal for 10, bringing one to 90. Keeping a commitment. competitive. Next one. I can't take your cards. Yeah, no, I'm not going to allow. If you want to tell you the answer, I don't give a fuck. If you just turn this device, you get a flow of water, and if you wait long enough, maybe even a new video game. If you just turn this device, you get a flow of water.

And if you wait long enough, maybe even a new video game. Buzzin! Buzzy! Oh, you guys are no fun. I'm going home. Wasting my time. Fucking punched in your face! No just.

Can you say it again? If you just turn this device, you get a flow of water, and if you wait long enough, maybe even a new video game. Tim. I'm so sorry to do this to you, Andy. It's Valve. Valve is the correct answer. That makes sense. And I'm going to fuck.

I was going to say turn 10. Oh, no. Like, I'm going to fuck him off. Oh, no. So I attack for. Yeah, for the 10. For the 10. And while I do that,

so you're taking 10. He's attacking you for 10. But I can still use both of my gravity hammers. That you can't take me down on 30 points. No, it's not. Each one's worth 25 damage, so that's an extra 50. That is, that is. Oh, I was doing the math from here.

I think that's supposed to be like your attack. You're basically turning your 10 damage for your turn into that 25 damage. You make the rules. Yeah. I'm just here. Either way, you're going to take 25 damage from the one gravity hammer. I think the second one, you're going to have to want to hold for when you get the next question, right, and then play it there. I see.

Yes. You're replacing the points. You're replacing the 10 damage with that. With that. It's not just free will and points all over the... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Chill out, 10, Jesus. So violent.

Going ham over here. I'm trying to be a fair gamer. Go to drop a car. I'll take your Honda Civic. Oh my God. Next one. Olajuwegos. Bonjour je.

Or in English, this. Andy. Hello Games. Hello Games is the correct answer. How much did I fuck that up? I meant to practice the pronounce. pronunciation before this. Instead of taking the 10, I'm going to take the 25 with a gravity hammer.

There you go. That's 25 damage to Tim. Or is it? Or is it? Can I use my, and I'll understand if I cannot. Can I use my reflector to redirect an attack at another player? Yes, you can. Fuck me in the asshole.

Yes, you can. Shit. God damn it. All those cards really didn't matter, huh? Yeah, no, Tim knew the strategy. right away. Yeah. Next one.

We used to call my buddies the pouch duo, but they change locations and now they go by this instead. Handy. Pocket pair. Pocket pair is the correct answer. What you're going to do?

Take 10 from him. Are you going to attack him for 10? Yeah, attack him. All right, that is 10 damage to him. Is he? Well? Oh, son of a fucking bitch.

I'm going to use my shield. Oh, yeah. Can you read what that does? It protects me. I take no damage. All right, there you go. This is bullshit. I shouldn't use it there.

I should have saved it. The next one. You have a number of cards? Fuck you. Oh, was that your last card? No. Round five. It takes away 700 points.

Watch out. The opposite of lightning empty. The opposite of lightning empty. Tim. Sorry. It's thunderful. Thunderful is the correct answer. And I'm going to attack with the force of the north by gravity hammer.

All right. Lighting isn't the opposite from Thunder. 25. You know, I have to stretch with these. These aren't easy to make. I'm thinking like dull, grounded, something like. Next one. If Ness's replacement got into drawing and painting, Tim.

Lucas Arts. Lucas Arts. It's the correct answer. Holy shit. That little fuck. Tim, what you going to do? I'm going to do. Just finish him.

Get me out of here! I'm gonna take, I'm trying to think strategic. I don't know at this point, what's the best thing to do. I'll take the 10 points. Okay, so Tim's gonna heal another 10 points. Next one. A tool used to capture in the opposite of difficult. Andy.

Net ease. Net ease is the correct answer. I should look, I should fucking win that. Last time we did a publisher game, I had none right. Give me the fucking bonus points, dude. Where's Mike? Where is he? I need him here.

You can also heal the 10 points. I don't know if the, there's anything you can do to stop that. I can't confirm nor deny though. It's been a while since I looked at these cards. I'm going to heal. He's going to heal for the 10 points. Finally.

He has fucking universal health care over there. Oh, you don't even know. Look into this for a closer view, but end it like an adverb. This is the toughest one. Look into this for a closer view, but end it like an adverb. Tim. Oh, man. No, I'm Microsoft.

That is incorrect. I was thinking about microscope. That's not bad. That's not bad. I got antsy. Andy, do you got it. Look in for a closer view. Look into this for a closer view, but end it like an adverb.

Greg, what is it? Are you shitting me? Scoply? You want to buzz in and say that? Scoply. Scoply is the correct answer. Monopoly go. You never heard of this publisher?

No, never heard of the publisher. I don't belong to me. Yeah, Monopoly, yeah. Of course, you had a lot of adverbs with L.Y. I thought it was clever there. What do you want to do there? Uh, heal. All right, he's gonna heal for 60.

And that does bring us to the end of that round and the end of the game. Barrett, what's the final score? Damn, I let you down, Mike. The final score. I did it! Knocked out earlier on in the game, hitting zero points, betting it all. It was Greg Miller for Team Blue with zero. in second place, a hard fought battle.

Stupid cars. And even though he doesn't get a star right now, at least he got a star at the beginning of this episode. It was Andy Cortez for Team Purple with 60 points. And the man with the strats, it was Tim Geddes for Team Orange with 85 points. Plus, could I, would you prefer I don't say what one of these points?

No, go for it. Say whatever. Yeah. I just want to let you know how I thought this was going to go. I thought I was going to be able to just ground pound them with a bunch of cards, get both their damage down, have them both target me, all right?

Their ire would be on me. And I would have had a card, extra life. You rise from the dead when you hit zero points. Can I be very honest, I totally assume Greg had that card, which is why I was like, oh,

he wants to bed at all, I'll just let him do it because he's just going to rise from the dead. I didn't think that he was just being reckless. Didn't realize that I said at the beginning of the game, that he was going to die. Congratulations, that was a good one. I disagree.

If you can bring up the star standing so we can catch up with the entire season. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Because we came into this episode with Team Blue in the lead with two stars, but because of the events of this episode, Team Blue is now in last place with one star, Team Purple sitting at two,

and Team Orange is also now sitting at two stars. Mike, we're gonna need you. Like, you just gotta keep on carrying, like I can't do it. I don't even know Knight City. I can't think of basic words. Of course this. I don't belong on this show.

Has been Game Showdown. Your Nergy Trivia show will be back next week with another episode. Maybe ask me to draw a game cover. Oh wait, I wasn't on that episode. You complain every single time about that one. That was the only episode I've been asking for! What are we gonna do the one in the example you gave every week, blessing? What are we gonna do that one?

Let me draw game cover. I can draw Grat Deft Auto. I think it's great. What does a fucking acrobat look like? I'll draw a bat. No, it's not close enough. Tim drew a human. That's closer to the bat.

Until next time, it's been our pleasure to serve you. I'm sorry, everybody.
