Today, we're playing the first kind of Futey of the season. 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 Tim Getty's representing Team Orange. I love this. Give me Kind of Fuddy. Because whether I win or lose, at least I know it's on me.

Kind of beauty known as our most fair game. Yeah. I liked him in the, you know, I wanted to dress in purple for Team Purple to de Blest. Yeah. representing Team Purple and, you know, burnt orange, just ended up in that burner war is representing his squad.

Hell yeah. That, of course, is Andy Cortez representing Team Purple. Got it. You know, it's back, baby. I'm happy to be back. I've heard nothing but good stuff

happening with Team Purple so far. They're on a tear is what I've heard. Yeah. They're on a tear. I'm ready to continue that momentum. Speaking of being on a tear, we also have Greg Miller, aka the season three champion of Team Blue.

AKA, the Manhousie. who won the Nick Scarpino season, aka the man who has two stars undefeated this season so far in kind of funny game showdown. Am I excited that the cooler

Andy Cortez is back here? No. Because once I got my good luck charm, my little rabbit's foot, snow bike, I've been unstoppable. We're of course going to start off with a trivia question worth 10 points. He knows better than to engage. He knows better than to engage in season three. And the chance

to go first and kind of Futey contestants, you will not buzz in to answer because this is a numbers game. I'm going to ask you the number of a certain thing. You'll each get a chance to guess the number with no repeat guesses allowed. Whoever gets the closest without going over will get the points

if you all go over with the lowest guess will get the points. Are you ready? Yes. Yes. Yes. Being active since 2021 and known for games. He's on it. He's on a terrible. Team blue right there.

Cheers. Being active since 2021 and known for games like I Am Your Beast and El Paso elsewhere, how many games has indie studios Strange Skaffold published on Steam? We're going to start off with last week's winner. Greg Miller. And it's since 2021. Since their inception in inception in 2017. We interviewed them, and I remember this came up.

This got mentioned, you know what I mean? Should be easy to remember. And is it's closest while going over? Yes. Nine. Greg says nine. Andy. Seven.

Andy says seven. Tim. Six. Tim says six. The question for how many games has indie studio, sorry, the answer for how many games has indie studio streamed scaffold published on Steam is 13. Nailed. Meaning Greg Miller gets 10 points. That's insane.

I know. I'm getting named Tim. you're insane. They don't sleep over there. Remember, this is Game Showdown, Kind of Funnies, Nerdy Game Show that you can watch live right here on Twitch and on YouTube.

on a number of prompts. Our highest turnout for a kind of Fudy poll so far. Each round, I'm going to read to you a prompt. This is like the midterms. People are showing up to stop. The tyrant.

People are passionate nowadays about getting out. They're sick of hearing all these horrible fucking answers they get put out. They want to make their voices heard. 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 the answer, the more points you'll receive. For example, I might ask you to name a platformer mascot.

If Greg says Mario, that's number one, they'll net him 50 points. If Tim says Sonic and that's number two, that'll get him 40 points. If Andy says Bubsy and that's number three, that'll get him 30 points 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 also a secret answer hidden in one of the rounds it's not one of the top five answers but if you happen to get it

it is worth five points and you get to guess again contestants are you ready yeah yeah round one name a game developer that would make a good fantastic four video game name a game developer that would make a good fantastic for a video game. Greg, since you got the points, you're starting first.

it is the season three champion, the Nick Scarpino season champion, the winner of the first two episodes of this season of Kind of Funny Game Showdown. It is Greg Miller for Team Blue with 130 points, but it's still anybody's game. It's still anybody's game

You know what, Greg, we're a new, there have been a lot of kind of funny fans that have filtered out and in. We have a lot of new fans.

Yeah. And that's why I faking it wasn't on the list. That's fucking great. Because they aren't aware of it. The greatness of party mode from 2017. Greg is thinking to push the button, which wasn't on the list. It's got something to do with an alien, right?

Yeah, it is like that space, yeah, I think. Our 40-point answer that nobody got. No, although I do like that as a guess. That could have been a secret answer, but I thought ahead. Fibbage. Yeah. You guys know Fibbage. That was our 40-point answer.

Let's see here. Circular, you said. Name of video game. character who is round shaped. Round. Round. Round. Spherical in some ways you might say.

Yeah. Okay. I mean, it depends on how the audience interprets it, but... Spherical. That's good. I like that reference, Barrett. What is that? You reckon, Josh?

Game sphere is the whole thing. The Okama game sphere. Exactly. Let's see. Moving day. Everybody knows that. It's an important, important answer for you here. really important.

This could decide everything. What's left on the board? 20 and 10? 10 and 20, yes. Never mind. It's not really that important. I'll go with... I don't know why I really want to say

Snorlax. Andy says snorlax. Snorlax is not on the list. But it is a good answer. It's a really good answer. Tim Gettys. What's happened so far? So the 30 through 50 have been taken.

30 was jigglypuff. 40 was Pac-Man. 50 was Kirby. Our 10 and 20 are still on the board. I don't feel great about this, but I'm going to go Sonic the Hedgehog. Oh, but I see it. Sonic the Hedgehog.

Sonic the Hedgehog is not on the list. Greg Miller, your final answer. Polywag. Greg says, Polly Wag. I'm sorry. But, you know, it's close enough. I'll take that as you.

If you would have told me to spell it, I would have put the A there. Yeah. Polywag is not on the list. What about the moon from Majora's mask? Also, not on the list. That would have been a great answer. Grailf? Rowlet.

Oh, Rowlet. No, also not only. I like how many Pokemon, yeah, are actually. Oh, Voltorb. No. That was one of my first thoughts. I was like, no one's writing Volttor. No Pokemon made the list.

However, a sonic character did make the list. Robotnik. Gosh, I'm not sure. That is a very round. That was our 20 point answer. 10 point answer, a lot tougher. Wario. Okay.

I can see that too. I can see that too. I don't view him as a round character, but I guess... I thought a donut Drake for a second and talk myself out of it. Wow. Throwback. I would put Snorlax above all those. You should vote.

With that, you shouldn't. With that, Greg got the 30-point answer with Jiggly-Puff. Andy got the 40-point answer with Pac-Man. Tim got the 50-point answer. with Kirby. In a bad spot now. As we enter into our final round. Again, very tight game here.

What's your favorite Nintendo song? Round number five. Name the best remake of the last five years. Nice. Name the best remake of the last five years. Because of a tie, there are two 20, sorry, there are two 30 point answers on the board. we're going to start off with Andy Final Fantasy 7 remake

Andy says Final Fantasy 7 remake Final Fantasy 7 remake is our 50 point answer Next up Greg Miller When did this one come out When did you vote for this? This was August

So about a month ago A month and a half ago Silent Hill Two That's good That's good Hill 2. We'll see.

Silent Hill 2 is not on the list. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Wow. Wow. Tim. The door's been open for you. I'm sweating here. Because I haven't answered. That's not technically correct. Roll with it.

But it's family feud rules. It doesn't need to be. Exactly. You were saying, but it's family feud. I was like, what? I'm going with Resident Evil 2. Yeah. See, that was what?

I was drawn to, but I was like five years. Tim says Resident Evil 2. Resident Evil 2 is not on the list. Wow. Me. Wow. Andy, we're back to you. Wow.

The door's been open. They're better. No, let's just stop. Don't have a conversation. Demon souls. Andy says demon souls. Demon souls. is our 20 point answer.

Fuck me. Next up, Greg. Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater. Greg says Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater. Metal Gear Solid Delta is not on the list. August, he said... God! I'm very risky.

We're back to the question. I'm just like... Because yeah, the game came out at end of August. right? I was risking it for the list. He's risking it. Next up, we have Tim Gettys. And this is the final guess, right? Yeah. This is it. He already won. Oh, he already won. Wow. Final Fantasy 7 rebirth. Tim says Final Fantasy 7 rebirth. Final Fantasy 7 rebirth is our 10 point answer. Fuck. What was in there? Adding a little bit of sauce to Tim's point lead here. So, Persona 3 reload. No. You guys got three of the answers here. The other

three at 30 points, of course, we had two answers sharing 30 points. One of the 30 point answers, Elder Scrolls 4, oblivion. Sure. The other one, Dead Space. Dead Space remake. Sure, okay. Our 40 point answer, which Tim knocked on the door on, Resident Evil 4.

Resident Evil 4 was the 40 point answer, but that miss didn't affect Tim nonetheless. I can't fathom. Did I say the wrong Silent Hill? You said two. Yeah, right? That's the one. Yeah, that's crazy that didn't make the list. Silent Hill 2 was our, I guess, sixth place answer. It came in under Final Face 7 rebirth with 90 votes.

I think that's crazy that wasn't in the top five for sure. And then under Silent Hill actually was RE2 with 77 votes. I think there was a lot of splitting the votes going on here. That's crazy. What a close battle. I had to weigh that. The two of first four there made the wrong call. Yeah, that was a very, very competitive game of kind of few.

Under RE2, you had persona 3 reload with 48 votes. And under that you had Metroid Prime with 39 votes. If we're going earlier into the episode for some fun stats here, I think the only one I have here is from our first round where I asked to name a developer that I'd make a good fantastic four game. Rocksteady came in at our sixth place answer. They've proved they can do multiplayer. Yeah, with 54.

Shoot them purple. And then under Rocksteady, you had Binaware. 15 other Galactus is there. Yeah, 27 people thought that. Fireware could have made a good fantastic forward video game, interestingly. But that is it for this episode. Barrett, what's the final score? The final score in last place, finally, some are saying,

was Greg Miller for Team Blue with 180 points in second place. Always the Bridesmaid, never the bride. Showing up for season four. Finally, it is Andy Cortez for Team Purple with 185. And the winner finally stopping this Madman on Team Blue. It is Tim Geddes for Team Orange with 200 points. Man, if we can bring up the star standings and let's catch up for the overall season here. Going into this episode, Greg Miller with Team Blue had a commanding lead to start things off with two stars.

With two. The others have zero. I look at that as commanding. You know, I was worried that you'd win this episode again. and just getting even more commanding weed. But here, Team Orange, led by Tim Getty's, as earned themselves the first star of the season. Again, making this a tight season overall.

Watch the season of performance. You're not going to be. I'm faking it, man. Party mode. Great episode. If you all have to watch that episode of Party Mode from 2017, that's an all-star moment where Nick just is really bad at lying, and it's a great episode.

I'll watch that one. Of course, this has been an episode of Game Showdown, on your nerdy trivia show. We'll be back next week with another episode. Until next time, it's been our pleasure to serve you. I'm sorry, Gia.
