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?
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?
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It's always the color.
This is our nerdy game show that you can watch live right here on Twitch and on YouTube.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
Answer
Tim
Getty's what you got for me
I celebrate just like the kid
In the Crossfire commercial
Oh yeah
Crossfires
Yeah
Yeah
Who
Um
Shield
Tim says
Shield
Shield or
Block
No.
No.
No.
No.
Why?
Because this is a shield.
And then block can be anything.
When you see shield,
Captain American.
No.
He's fucking Smash Bros.
What?
Which is block.
That's a block.
That's a block.
It's a block.
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
uh
okay
but if you have something better
go for
I'm just saying
yeah
yeah
yeah yeah
uh yeah
uh yeah
I was gonna go with
uh
I was gonna go with
like sprint
oh oh oh
and he says
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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

And we're back with round number three.
Name a Tony Hawk game that doesn't have a number in the title.
Name a Tony Hawk game that doesn't have a number in the title, Greg Miller.
Tony Hawk's Underground.
Greg says Tony Hawk's Underground.
That is our 50 point answer.
Andy.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
Nice one.
Andy says Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is our 30 point.
Tim.
Tony Hawk American Wasteland.
Tim says American Wasteland.
American Wasteland is our 40 point answer.
And we're back to Greg.
You don't deserve rights.
Viewer.
What if I told you?
you show it up your
breakthrough in video game controllers
a skateboard full of technology
Tony Hawk ride
Greg says Tony Hawk ride
ride is our 20
point answer
and then take that fucking thing and shove it up
your ass the ride platte I can't believe
30 points
what's what's left over
our 10 point answer
uh
without a number
without a number
it's about with the number
name of Tony Hawk's game
that doesn't have a number in the title.
You already said Underground?
We did, yeah.
Yeah, Greg said Underground to start off with.
What about Overground?
Is that your final answer?
Yeah, I'll have nothing else.
Ask a Dark Souls question, for Christ's sake to you.
All right, Andy's going to skip.
Tim, what you got for me?
I'm the last one, right?
You're the last one.
Okay.
What did Ride get?
How many points?
20?
20.
Even more obscure than a rock.
That's the problem because there's Shred,
which was like the ride's sequel.
Did they do a sequel and they use the board and everything?
Yeah.
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.
I know. I know. And also I don't like you.
Me?
What I do? I'm not even doing a character right now.
I was just saying.
I know that title.
I was in general.
That's fair. I've earned that right.
I can't complain.
I'm going to go with proving ground.
Tim went with Tony Hawk,
proving ground.
Proving ground is not
on the list.
Our 10 point answer. Just Tony Hawk.
Nobody got downhill jam.
With that, Greg got the 20 point
answer with Ride. Andy got the 30 point
answer with Pro Skater. Tim got the 40 point answer with American
Wasteland. Greg got the 50 point
answer with Tony Hawk's
underground as we move on
into moving day. This is
round number four.
Name a game you've bought
a lot of cosmetics for.
Name a game
you bought a lot of cosmetics for.
For this one, I will accept
franchise answers. We're going to start off
with the one and only Andy Cortez.
Fortnite.
Andy says
Fortnite.
Fortnite is our 50
point answer
Greg
Call of duty
Greg says
Caller Duty
They got Ninja Turtles now
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
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
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
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
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.
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...
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Tim says Contra.
You're thinking publisher.
Contra is our 40 point answer.
Yes.
Tim's the LeBron of this.
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.
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.
I thought about it.
I thought about it.
Game genie.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay.
I hate it.
I hate it.
I hate it.
The Sims?
No!
No!
Rosebud.
That's it, Greg.
Fuck you.
Greg says
The Sims
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Wow.
You didn't let it.
You did it.
Come here.
We did it.
Oh.
Right.
Oh, God.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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,
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?
