Starting point is 00:00:00 Recruitment for Arknight's Enfield Beta Test 2 has officially begun. Head to Enfield.grifeline.com and complete the recruitment survey for a chance to join Beta Test 2 when it starts on November 28th. Today we're playing Connie Futey. Get ready for Game Showdown. Yo, what's up? Welcome to Game Showdown. I'm your host Blessing, Adi O.A. Jr. I'm joined by three contestants representing three teams. We have Greg Miller, the new captain of Team Orange. Orange, you glad?
Starting point is 00:00:35 I'm back in the saddle. We also have Andy Cortez representing Team Purple. I was... You missed an episode that? I was across the country in New York. The Big Apple was. Yeah. What happened?
Starting point is 00:00:53 I offered Tim a once in a lifetime deal to trade teams, including all the stars. Because he can't be stopped. Including the stars. Yeah. So throw up the Star Jacker Bear, right? I got four. I think Tim's got one measly star. Embarrassing. You know what I mean? It is embarrassing, isn't it? It's going to be embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:01:11 You traded that? Dude, it was for the blue. Do you see this glow? It just makes me feel better, man. I needed it. It was worth it. I thought about this for the entire week. Don't regret it. I know I signed up for something I wasn't clear on. I thought it was for one star. I didn't run for all the stars. I didn't put these shenanigans. I didn't point these shenanigans. I said it very plainly. He was clear. I was very much on to me. I was intoxicated by the glow of this blue
Starting point is 00:01:35 nipple here. As many are. Wow. Okay. Wow. And of course that voice you hear is the one and only brand new captains of Team Blue, Tim Ma, Fugging, Gettys. You actually bring up a good point about the switch reel here because
Starting point is 00:01:53 many people on the internet have pointed out that Team Blue is actually the champions of the previous season of Game Showdown. That's true. But other people have pointed out, of course, that like the belts really like an MVP trophy. What I really want to do is thank if just before you say whatever you need to say,
Starting point is 00:02:09 I want to thank all the kind of funny best friends. I know it's been a rough week because I've seen the Reddit post and I've seen the comments. And as you know, oftentimes I'm on the right side of history. And so sometimes right wing grifters like to pop into our chats and say stuff like, oh, the belt belongs to team blue. We should stick with Tim and should. Clearly those are people with bad intentions who are just on the wrong side of history. And who just are a vocal minority.
Starting point is 00:02:34 They don't even watch the content probably. They probably got activated in whatever little in-cell group there in. So, yeah, I understand a lot of the real kind of funny best friends have been shouted down when they say that's stupid. You know, Greg won the belt so the belt should stay with him. At the very least, the belt should go into the rafters, you know. Greg won the belt. Yeah, that's right. I thought Team Blue won the belt.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Well, Greg's the leader of Team Blue, so there you go. Yeah, but when Greg became the leader of Team Blue, Greg inherited all those victories, didn't he? I mean, I listen. Roger, I need you to come through with my involvement. Oh, yeah. Let's the grift end. Let's bring in Roger the most unbiased piece of shit I've ever met in my life. I need you to take that belt away from Greg Miller and put it on the shoulder of the one and only Tim Getty's.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Wow. Okay. Oh, yeah. The champion of Team Blue. It's back, baby. It was all worth it. I'd say it's all part of the plan, but it absolutely was not. I just wanted my Blue Team back.
Starting point is 00:03:24 But this does feel good and it does make sense. Yeah. Because I truly am the champ of this show. I actually can't argue that bar. It's pretty good at the show. It was pretty good at this show. But also, you guys are up. It's Tim's game to try and catch up at here.
Starting point is 00:03:38 And so we'll see with the remainder of the season of Team Blue and Tim McGadies can catch up to Team Purple and Andy and Team Orange and Greg. Everyone real quick to take a snapshot of this because as you know from previous things, Tim will never remember to bring the belt back to the show because he fucking doesn't give a shit about it. So that's cool. On his watch, we lost the eye. You know, we had already lost the K now. None of that is true. Greg's bringing this thing worldwide, losing ladders left and right. I'm taking care of it.
Starting point is 00:04:04 We're going to start off with a trivia question worth 10 points and the chance to go first in Khan of Futeau. This is an order up. I want you to arrange the following games from the Tetris franchise in release order. The games are Tetris Effect, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, Tetris 99, and Tetris Battle Fusion. Greg Miller. We are going to go Tetris Battle Fusion. Tetris Effect, Tetris 99, Pollo, Tetriest. Greg, that is the correct answer.
Starting point is 00:04:40 That is 10. That's good. That's good. Is it the man or isn't the chair? Remember, this is kind of funny game showdown. I'd love that you've used that argument for both ways. It's always the seat. You know, it's always the buzzer.
Starting point is 00:04:55 It's always the color. This is our nerdy game show that you can watch live right here on Twitch and on YouTube. If you love what you do, support us with the kind of funny membership on Patreon, YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcast to get all of our shows. ad-free and get a daily exclusive show. Thank you to our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, and Delaney, the song, Twining. For now, let's play Kind of Feudy. The rules are simple. I've surveyed over 2,000 members of the Kind of Funny audience on a number of prompts.
Starting point is 00:05:31 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 the correct answer, the more popular of the answer, the more points. you'll receive. For example, I might ask you to name a villain. If Greg says Glados and it's number one, they'll get him 50 points. If Tim says Voson, that's number two, they'll get him 40 points.
Starting point is 00:05:51 If Andy says Savathune, the Witch Queen, and that's number three, that'll get him 30 points. Imagine if the question was name a villain. Video game villain, you know what I mean? I don't know. And so on and so forth. 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.
Starting point is 00:06:12 There's no secret answer today. Oh. Or is that a trick? No, I just couldn't get creative this one. Contestants, are you ready? Yeah! Round number one. Name the worst item to get in Mario Kart World.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Name the worst item to get in Mario Kart World. Greg Miller, you're up first. Man, I'm just going to say it with my full chest because I believe it. The Green Shell. I hate that fucking thing. Greg says, the Green Shelf. shell. The green shell is our 20 point answer. Really? You don't like
Starting point is 00:06:47 manually aiming? I always get annoyed when I don't have the red show. I was like, I just give me a red show. I love the shot. I feel like a sniper with that thing. Yeah, yeah. You kind of, you want to throw it where the wide receiver is going to beat him. Andy, you're up next. The feather. Damn you. Fuck. Andy says
Starting point is 00:07:03 The feather. The feather is our 30 point. What? What? What? Whoa. That should have been 50. Who are all the fucking people voting birds or what? Tim Gettys. I'm going to say coin.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Tim Gettys says coin. Good answer. Coin is our 50. That's bullshit. That's bullshit. Answer. They don't mean as much in the world. I'd rather take a coin any day.
Starting point is 00:07:33 You're back to Greg. Yeah, the feather is like against you. Like it actively like. Yeah. Makes you slower. Yeah. But you can jump over green shells. Yeah, because I'm that skilled at the game.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Because I'm that good. Did he freeze? I'm torn between two answers. One that I'm not even sure is in Mario Kart World. You know what I mean? You just say it, though. Yeah. But I feel like, do I go the other way?
Starting point is 00:08:00 Can I hear the phrasing the question again? Name the worst item to get in Mario Kart World. I'm going to think outside the box here, which probably sometimes it works for Mike's advantage, made it work for me. I'm going to say, like, the food, like with a new costume. You know what I mean? whatever you want to pick the takeout food orders. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Greg says the food. The food is not on the list. That is a good answer. Specifically, it being world. Yeah, specifically it's part of the item cube. I know,
Starting point is 00:08:32 but again, you know how this is, remember when Animal Crossing was number one. You can get coins to me. What are we talking about? But also the food doubles as boost, right? Yeah. Like maybe people might look it as...
Starting point is 00:08:40 I also think people probably shouldn't think of it in terms of this. Andy. Ah. I love racing. You want my, you want mine? Rubbin is racing. Because we had to beat Tim this season. No.
Starting point is 00:08:53 You have to be Tim or I have to be Tim. somebody's got to be Tim. You're right. I'll give it to you. You want it? Say it. I'll think about it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:00 I hate it here. I mean, you put yourself in this position. Okay. That's not bad. It's not what I was going to go with. Is it in the game? Do you know? I think so.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Okay. It's not what I'm going to go with, though. Fair enough. I'm going to go with the ghost. The ghost. Boo. Boo. Boo.
Starting point is 00:09:18 They call him. Boot. Boo is not on the list. You should have. Should have gone with me? Tim. Ah, man. I'm rolling the dice with this one,
Starting point is 00:09:30 but I'm going to go banana. Tim says banana. That's a terrible. That's a 41-1 answer. Banana. No way. Is the 40-point answer. Insane.
Starting point is 00:09:40 That's your shield. I know. It's defense, but it's boomerang on the list. That's when I was thinking of. No, Boomerang wasn't on the list. What about the list? What about the list? the one that shrinks you.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Lightning. The lightning? No. That one wasn't on the list. Squid? No. Our 10 point answer, this is also another thinking outside the box one. Camick. Camac is the one that comes through and then turns everybody into villains for a second, specifically for Mario Kart World. Man, that one sucks. I didn't play shit at this video game. I forgot that I was even an item. Dang, I forgot. With that, Greg got the 20 point answer with Green Shell. Andy got the 30 point answer with Feather. Tim got the 40 point answer of banana.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Tim got the 50 point answer with coin. He already has 90. This is bullshit. Fuck this shit. As we move on to round number... I thought he was doing a bit because it looked like he was like brushing the belt off and then he looked at his hand. He was like, oh no, he might really have gravy on his hand or something.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Oh, no, I thought I caught myself on the... Oh, that is a blood pack. You don't want to know what I put on that. But your body in the line. Round number two. Name a thing that happens when you press the L2. button. Name a thing that happens when you press the L2 button.
Starting point is 00:10:48 I got to do this. Because I don't know if you know that one time where I couldn't tell my rights and lefts. Wait, we're tied? Yeah. Yeah. Greg got the opening question.
Starting point is 00:10:59 And then they got the 20 point answer. Yeah. Nice. So you ready? Yep. I mean, in a driving game, break slash reverse. Greg says break slash reverse.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Break slash reverse is our 40 point answer. Wow. You said it exactly as I wrote it to you. Thank you, buddy. Maybe I should get a tip of the hat. Andy G you paying attention Andy Don't fuck this up
Starting point is 00:11:18 Get him You got to get them ADS Zoom Aim whatever Jesus Christ Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah And he says aim Aim is our 50 point
Starting point is 00:11:27 Answer Tim Getty's what you got for me I celebrate just like the kid In the Crossfire commercial Oh yeah Crossfires Yeah
Starting point is 00:11:35 Yeah Who Um Shield Tim says Shield Shield or Block
Starting point is 00:11:44 No. No. No. No. Why? Because this is a shield. And then block can be anything. When you see shield,
Starting point is 00:11:52 Captain American. No. He's fucking Smash Bros. What? Which is block. That's a block. That's a block. It's a block.
Starting point is 00:12:01 It's a fucking block. It's for sure a block. That is our 30 point answer. Don't even fucking try. I didn't if I said Perry, that's different. That's bullshit. Block and shield's the same. If I give you break slash reverse,
Starting point is 00:12:12 block is shield. fuck you you wrote it that exact way you didn't give me shit you complimented me on my phrasing you said good job the exact same fucking page yeah but if you said break or reverse
Starting point is 00:12:23 you gotta give him a half it out they were back to Greg um so in this world is Perry is Perry Block no no Perry Greg says Perry Perry Perry is not
Starting point is 00:12:39 on the list Andy 120 points why did we even play the game like why do we even do this hold on hold on I think it is genres
Starting point is 00:12:55 sure smart you know that's where it ends like that's kind of where the thinking ends so let me go with uh you want I can give you something I don't know if it's a good one
Starting point is 00:13:12 this has to stop yeah it's really working to our advantage to be a fucking moving day it's a whole thing um let's I'm not do you have a night
Starting point is 00:13:21 lock in yours in your head and then I'll give you mine I have a locked in one okay so then I would say come in
Starting point is 00:13:26 uh okay but if you have something better go for I'm just saying yeah yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:13:35 uh yeah uh yeah I was gonna go with uh I was gonna go with like sprint oh oh oh and he says
Starting point is 00:13:46 sprint sprint is not on the list. Tim. Damn it, I did cut myself. Somebody get a big lady. No, it's fine, it's fine. It's just a little guy.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Lock on. Tim says, lock on. Lock on is not. Whoa. Been playing a lot of veteran rematch. Our 20-point answer, then nobody got grenade.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Dang. And our 10-point answer, which nobody got secondary fire like shoot like shoot slash secondary fire I feel like people ran out of steam on this one of what they wanted to go with
Starting point is 00:14:24 and I also think aim and break slash reverse took all of the rights to where all that was left was not inspired those those are good answers though those are honestly like grenade I feel like grenades R1 right I mean Halo OG
Starting point is 00:14:37 or or sometimes B sometimes B on for grenade for a grenade yeah you ever all think about middle mouse when they're like oh the vowels sometimes why?
Starting point is 00:14:47 Yeah. Why can we just get rid of that? I mean, I guess if it starts the word, are we saying it's a consonant? Is that what we're doing? Wait, yeah. You didn't know that? I mean, I never thought much about it.
Starting point is 00:14:58 You got out of third grade, you kind of forget it. You don't care. I mean, I guess think of like how Y sounds when you say it at the end of the word. It's like E. So like, that's very vowel. It's like, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:09 it's like an E or an I. You know? I just don't like that. I mean, like, I feel like, well, it's, we had 26. letters and somebody got it. It's like when you say why at the beginning of the word, that's a
Starting point is 00:15:19 that's a consonant. Yeah. It's like a day let's savings time. Like we got to just go all in or go all out. Yes, Andy, yes. You know? What's the current score? All right now, the current score in last place.
Starting point is 00:15:34 As per usual. It is. Greg Miller for Team Orange now with 70 points. Just 10 points ahead of him. It is. Andy, the Nitro Rifle, for Team Purple and running away with the lead
Starting point is 00:15:50 can he make a comeback for this season and gain those stars that he lost just last week it's Tim Geddes for Team Blue with 120 points but it's still anybody's game

There's Tony Hawk downhill jam. And then there's Tony Hawk Proving Ground. Nobody played Proving Ground. I know that, yeah, but the title I know.

Starting point is 00:23:14 They got Rio Ripley Call of Duty is our 10 Oh whoa whoa Answer that was the thing where it was a gamble Tim where I was like it's not that I don't have other answers It was like it's our audience what do I do Fuck Tim Grant Thup Dotto
Starting point is 00:23:28 Oh Tim says grant a Dotto Grant of Dotto Is not That door's open now, baby The list Andy that door's open The door wide open
Starting point is 00:23:39 Andy what you got for me What do I see And I'm also not surprised Called Duty wasn't on the list So the last time We had a question similar to this Which was like A game with a lot of
Starting point is 00:23:50 IP crossover It wasn't there And I was so pissed on We got Cheez and Chong Yeah Nick Minaj We got 21 Savage Okay
Starting point is 00:24:01 Also, GTA, I don't think the kind of game you buy cosmetics for. You buy the currency, and then the currency gets you. Bies you cosmetics? I guess when you put it like that. Yeah, same as foreign area. But I don't look at it as directs, you know. You have to walk into the store in GTA. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:17 You're more so buying cars. Practical things. And houses. Yeah, we're buying cars and houses. Houses and apartments. Um, I'm going to. go with...
Starting point is 00:24:32 When was this question put up? August. August. Okay. I'm going to... Huh? I was going to say the course the 50-point answer
Starting point is 00:24:42 and the 10-point answers have been taken. Okay. I'm going to say Marvel Rivals. Andy says Marvel Rivals. Marvel Rivals is not on the list.
Starting point is 00:25:02 I like the thought process there, though. Greg, the door is still wide open. Yeah, but this is one of those where I feel like I'm splitting hairs, you know, and I'm probably way off the mark, you know? Whereas, you don't know, you don't ever play this fucking game. Tim, you know where it is, right? Where it's like,
Starting point is 00:25:15 I mean, again, I got answers, but did enough people play this game that I know a lot of people buy skins in, or I'm going to say that, if I think it's a stupid thing, never know what they actually look at and do the thing. And the other one I'm kind of guessing at, I've bought shit in it before, do a lot of people by shitting it? Fuck.
Starting point is 00:25:39 A lot of good answers, you know? I mean, they're probably, it's going to be the, if Tim Blot misses it too Here's the 40 and here's the thing We're like that fuck fuck fuck you know what I mean I don't like you I don't like what you do to us every week Got to give me an answer
Starting point is 00:25:55 Yeah I know I'll go with my heart What I thought What I know a lot of our community Played and say destiny The shaders the things Rex says destiny The banners
Starting point is 00:26:07 Destiny is our 30 point Answer Wow I thought that was gonna be a big old dud Yeah me too Me too. Tim, you're a final guess on this one. All right.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Final guess. I'm going to talk it out. I'm between two right now. I got Snowbike Mike on the mine and I'm thinking about NBA 2K. But I have our audience and I don't think so. Here's my one thing on that. Again, I'm not doing characters. I'm trying to be better.
Starting point is 00:26:33 Doesn't Mike really pay for stats? Isn't that a thing where he usually bumps himself? Yeah, but still. You know, it's the kind of feudy thing. Oh, they're right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to go. with Rocket League.
Starting point is 00:26:49 Oh, oh, okay, sure. Tim says Rocket League. Rocket League is not on. Can I toss one out that I was, the other one I was hemming and holl about was Minecraft. Minecraft, not on the list. Valorant, not on the list either. Although you're close, Andy, League of Legends.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Oh. League of Legends was our 20-dork-ass loser. Our 20-point answer, our 40-point answer, which, Andy, you kind of broke my heart when you said Marvel rivals, because I know you're also a very big fan of Overwatch. Yeah, but I just don't think of it. Wow.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Having the juice like that anymore. I mean, back in today, though, it was all the rage. Yeah, the phrasing of the question, what? Say it again? Name a game you've bought a lot of cosmetics. Yeah, it's like, that does kind of frame it in over time, but that's why I won Rocket League.
Starting point is 00:27:37 With that, Greg got our 10-point answer with Call of Duty. Greg got our 30-point answer with Destiny. Andy got our 50-point answer with Fortnite. as we move on to our fifth and final round. Putting me in the usual, the worst thing. Like, what always happens to you? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:27:53 Now I'm in first with 20 points. You guys will take the easy fruit on whatever this is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Round number five. Name a game or franchise known for its cheat codes. Oh, yeah, there you go. Name a game or franchise known for its cheat codes. We're going to start off with Andy Cortez.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Grand Theft Auto. Andy says Grand Theft Auto. Grand Theft Auto is our 50 point answer. Huge start for Andy. Tim. Blessing just through us the people's elbow. Or an eyebrow. If you smell the rock.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Oh, man. What? Two beers. Oh, this is so hard. Because I just. don't know how the audience would phrase this. Because the answer is not a game or franchise. I'm going to say Contra.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tim says Contra. You're thinking publisher. Contra is our 40 point answer. Yes. Tim's the LeBron of this.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Oh, my God. Jesus. That's crazy. Wow. Greg Miller. Is that thing where I'm hung up by one answer? I'm too old. I'm old.
Starting point is 00:29:35 So that's not what it's going to be. So we're cheap codes, though. I know. Can you phrase the question again from me, please? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Name a game or franchise known for its cheat codes. Game Shark. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:45 I thought about it. I thought about it. Game genie. Yeah, exactly. Okay. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
Starting point is 00:30:01 The Sims? No! No! Rosebud. That's it, Greg. Fuck you. Greg says The Sims
Starting point is 00:30:13 The Sims is our 30 point F-you Fuck you! Fuck you, Greg! That was the win! You gotta steal whatever Tim's thinking of because you know he's got something
Starting point is 00:30:25 in his super fucking computer brain that's gonna get you. He just needs 10 fucking points. That's all I have! He just needs to fart out 10 points. Andy. So here. This is a high pressure round for you,
Starting point is 00:30:37 there's a very high pressure round for, Andy here. Very, one of the closest games of Game Showdown in many weeks. I know, I know. I'm just, I'm, I'm trying to two heads together, maybe we can be one Tim.
Starting point is 00:30:53 You don't know, I'm here. Half a Tim. 75% of a Tim here. Yeah. It's not bad. It's not bad. I'm going to go with NBA Jam. No! No! That was my one. I'm glad to see you do it.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Let's go. Now, we're old. That's an old thing. I'm an old man. when I said it, I know, but come on now. Bill Clinton, come on now. Andy says NBA Jam. NBA Jam is not on the list. Shit.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Tim. Shit. That's crazy and fucked up. Yeah. It should be on the list. Wild. Okay. What is on the list? Name a game or franchise known for its cheat codes. Dang. Dang. This sucks. It's so fucking close.
Starting point is 00:32:13 time's up I'm gonna keep it in my head I'm gonna say Starcraft Tim says Starcraft Starcraft Starcraft is not Can you imagine
Starting point is 00:32:28 We fucking did it We fucking did it We beat his ass The game isn't over Sometimes we don't have tiebreakers Like last week We give out two trophies Sometimes we keep going
Starting point is 00:32:41 Until there is a definitive But he's out of it He is out of it. Yeah, that's the win for me and Andy. No, no, no, no, no, no. It doesn't get any more guesses. But Greg and Andy will go another round of guesses for the same song. Do we have champagne?
Starting point is 00:32:54 Please, everyone. Greg and Andy, name a game or franchise known for its cheat codes. Wait, are we buzzing in or are we still? No, we're going to go back around the same order, which I believe. It would be me then because I just yelled at Andy. Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so we're going to start with Greg.
Starting point is 00:33:10 The 20 and 10 point answers are still on the board. Greg, what's your third guess for this one? That's not right. You know? No. Bear, do you have a 32nd timer? I know, I mean, I can, I'm not even, you know, Mortal Kombat, which I know isn't right,
Starting point is 00:33:45 but I'm hoping people are confusing and old. I was going to say it. Greg says moral combat. Moral combat is our 10 point answer, meaning Andy. Stand down, we did it. I mean, that's a beer. Come on now.
Starting point is 00:34:00 You have to get the 20-point answer to win. If you don't get it, you lose. Name a game or franchise known for its cheat codes. This is going along the same path that I don't believe in because the other one failed. Can I give you a suggestion? Lock it in. I do think this is one of those crazy bullshit ones.
Starting point is 00:34:32 You could just say Game Genie. And people might have somebody to Game Genie. that was that was me immortal combat i was like i got to go one or the other i can get the 30 second timer and you's sticking real hard uh only the 20 point answers left on the board here is our final guess of i'll lock in game genie and he's going to lock in game game jini
Starting point is 00:35:03 i heard um awful moan from mike in the mic come by you share this team with what would you have said it what would you my other answer was nfl blitz mike is going to go with tony hawk pro skaters no no it's you can't Well, you're not going to make the guess. I'm just saying. Okay, okay. This is what teammate Mike would have chosen. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
Starting point is 00:35:19 Andy said game genie. Game genie is not on the list. Securing a win for Greg and Team Orange. Our 20-point answer that nobody guessed, Tony Hawks pro skater. Yeah. It was between that and StarCraft for me. I let you down, Mike.
Starting point is 00:35:40 Wow. You didn't let it. You did it. Come here. We did it. Oh. Right. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Truly hated. Holy fuck, man. With that, Greg got the 10-point answer with moral combat. I just didn't think you were anywhere close to the Sims, man. I was just like, I got, I was going to, I was already planning like the answers to Sims. I'm going to take the win. I was going to walk off the set.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Like, oh, my God, dude. Of course, Greg got the 30-point answer with the Sims. Tim got the 40-point answer with Contra. Andy got the 50-point answer with Grand Theft Auto. I thought Tim had it in the bag when it got down to him because the answer he should have given for the win was Tony Hawk. I thought surely Tim Geddy's all people. He's a pat gamer. The thing is I was thinking about big head mo.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Me too. You know what I mean? And I'm just like that's NBA jam took that spot. I was like, ah. Yeah, yeah. Some fun ones from previous rounds where I said name a game where you bought a lot of cosmetics. Our sixth place answer, Marvel rivals with 73 ride-ins. Under that, you had apex legends with 50 ride-ins. And then in the round before that, of course, when I said name a Tony Hawk game,
Starting point is 00:36:39 that doesn't have a number in the title. Proving grounds was our sixth place answer. With that, Barrett. What's the final score? What a close game. Yeah. The final score. Wow. In last place with 200 points, it was Tim Gettys for Team Blue.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Still with only one star for the season. In second place, just 10 points ahead. It is Andy Cortez with Team Purple with 210 points. And the winner of today's tight game. Aplice all around for everybody. This was actually a well-fought game today. It is Greg Miller for Team. with 220 points.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Barrett, if we can bring up the star standings for the season, of course, because of a big deal made last week, Tim Gettys of Team Blue came in here with one star and remains with one star. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:37:30 You know what I mean? This is like, yeah, I'm fucking Phil Jackson over here, you know what I mean? I'm going to the smaller market team bringing it from obscurity. Teams purple and orange came into this episode with four stars each,
Starting point is 00:37:42 but Greg Miller's team orange. has secured another victory to get themselves up to five stars. Congratulations, Greg Miller and P. Thank you. Of course, this has been Game Showdown, your nerdy trivia show. We'll be back next week with another episode. Until next time, it's been our pleasure to serve you. Was Konami on the list?
