I'm your host, Nick Scarpino.
You know who I am.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
How is that for teeth?
Was that okay for teeth this time?
Okay, because we tried that before and I got some feedback from the peanut gallery.
That my grin was too big.
Rounding out.
Our team here.
First up, Greg Miller.
Hi.
How are you?
Team blue?
That's right.
Champion.
Yeah.
repeat.
Robbed last week.
I would like to apologize.
I saw a lot of comments.
I saw a lot of comments on the comments of the show on the subreddit.
That great episode of game showdown,
except that Greg was being a little whiny baby about it and all this different stuff.
And so I would like to apologize to everyone who was on the right side of history
and protested with me that you have to put up with these fucking slugs in the comments
who are like,
no,
he should have just accepted getting screwed over.
They stole it from him,
but it's okay.
That's how it is.
It's disgusting that in 2025,
so few of you have a fucking spine
that you are so afraid to stand up
to big Roger Pocorny,
big blessing Adioje Jr.
But not me.
I won't be silenced.
Neither will the dozens of people
who are on the right side of history.
Well, thank you for that, Greg.
That very brief and pointless comment.
Second of the team, Mr. Snowbike, Mike,
on Team Purple.
What up, Nick? It's great to have you hosting.
And I didn't know we were doing an episode about apologizing, because I have to apologize as well.
I had a bit here plans.
I would like to apologize to Carl Jacobs, our incredible Patreon producer, to my grandmother and Danielle Z.
Because I've been wearing this Boston Red Sox jersey, and I don't mean it.
Okay?
I'm a New York Yankees fan for life, okay?
That's for you, New York.
Is this how this show?
What?
Yes, Nick.
Is this how this show normally goes?
There are people here showing up to compete in some video game trivia,
and they just have to deal with nonsense.
But shout out New York.
Shout out.
Mike, how big is this jersey?
This jersey I thought was going to fit me somehow into dress, okay?
I'm mad.
It's a boom.
You look like a fucking kid in his dad's baseball jersey at the game.
And rounding out our contestants, the one, the only, Mr. Tim Giddies,
on his favorite color team orange.
And we're starting off with a trivia question worth 10 points and a chance to start off strong.
You're going to buzz in for the answer.
Contestants, are you ready?
Ready.
Like Mike, the biggest Yankee fan on the planner, are you ready?
Ready.
I'm glad to have you, Mike.
I'm like the captain Derek Jeter ready for the action.
Here's your first question.
In 2001, the most expensive video game movie of all time was created, or of that time was created,
with an all-star cast featuring Alec Baldwin.
Tim Gettys.
I mean, this must be
Larcroft Tomb Raider, correct?
That is incorrect.
2001.
Alec Baldwin.
James Woods and Steve Ushmi.
What is the title of the film?
It's the expensive bit that's one,
I don't know the cast either,
but it's, you know what I mean?
The fact that he's making such a big deal about that.
But during that time, it's like, yeah,
I feel like just whatever was coming out would have been.
No.
Greg Miller?
Doom?
Incorrect.
There's no mic, Mike.
Yes.
I was going to say, doom, thank you.
You got a swing.
You know what?
When I hear Steve Bouchemy, I think of one guy.
Pixels.
No, not in 2001.
Way too already.
Put it on the board.
Do we get to do another round?
No, no.
I actually do want to do one more round.
I'm going to allow this.
Tim, we're going to go about you.
I, surprisingly, have never seen this movie,
but Final Fantasy Spirits Within.
Oh, I did watch that.
Is that your final answer?
It is.
That you're only,
answer. Yeah. No, he had an answer. Well, I wish you to answer that first, Tim, because that is the correct answer. And you know what? I saw that in theaters and can't tell you who was in it. Wow. I mean, Roger wrote that question and I didn't bother fact checking it. Let's give Tim points for that. Why not? Thank you. Let's go. Tim, thank you for that. Remember, of course. Can I have five points? No. We're not bargaining for points. But you do look, I was bargaining for points. But you do look at bargain. I was asking. It's a difference. Well, you did help him get to the answer by getting the wrong answer first. And you do look really good in this incredible crew.
that you're wearing right now. Greg, where can people find that
Grudeauage? Homage. Great. Thank you for that.
Remember everyone.

saw them twining.
Today, we're brought to you by Five Hour Energy,
but we'll tell you about that a little bit later.
For now, let's play Round Robin.
It fits so well.
It's a me episode.
Exactly.
We're throwing everyone for a loop here.
Okay, so you guys got to lock it.
We'll lock it.
The rules are simple round Robin is a pretty straightforward question and answer game
about video games.
What happened?
Don't worry about it.
I'm just too wrong.
Just roll it.
All right, we're going to go with it.
Sorry, people are just screaming in the background.
And Roger waved to me, he said goodbye.
I like to believe Rogers is going on a little vacation.
Wow, what a surprise.
Roger's screaming in here, throwing everyone off their game and then acting like nothing's wrong and that Mike deserves points.
I'm shocked.
You know what?
Mike, you know what?
You've been real quiet this whole time.
Don't fucking do it.
You've been.
Don't you fucking do it.
This doesn't matter to you, I understand.
Very professional.
Thank you.
And very lovely to work with.
Thank you.
I'm going to give you 10 points for that.
Let's get a 10 points.
You're awesome.
Had some tactical difficulties and Mike is really holding it down right now.
Lesser, you're clapping back there.
You like the order.
You're responsible for the show.
Thanks for the week off, Nick.
This is great.
I love that you have a week off, but you're still here supporting the show, and I appreciate that.
You make it entertaining.
Here's my thing, right?
I have to change for this show.
I like order.
You know what I mean?
I like rules.
And so would I let them guess again for the opening question?
No.
I mean, would I just give Mike points?
No.
But I view the way I view Bowser and Mario Party.
We're like all the rules go out the window.
You do what you want.
Have fun.
Thanks, blessing.
I appreciate that.
Actually, round of a pause for blessing, everyone.
For coming out on his day off.
That's God-given Sunday.
Do we need to take the intro of that again, or are we okay?
No, we're fine.
We roll.
Okay, we are fantastic.
The rules are simple.
Ron Robin is pretty straightforward question and answer game about video games.
This one, video game movies.
I'll give you a question.
You have your buzzers that you'll use and try to buzz in and answer that question.
You can buzz in once per round.
If you give the question.
correct answer, that's 10 points. Contestants, are you ready?
Yeah.
Okay.
Roger!
Oh shit, it runs out of the fucking area.
It's hard to concentrate.
When I hear Roger every five seconds go, oh shit.
And then do that cute little run he does where he looks like he has a turd in there.
I don't know if he can call your employees runs cute.
Roger, edit that out.
I think the buzzer machine broke or something.
Oh, okay.
I think it died up bad.
Roger's got to sit on the ground now
to be close to a power outlet
I've never seen such a freaked out look from Roger
where he looked at me, he's like, fuck,
and then runs across the room,
I think plug in and he does this cute run across the room.
The Reddit's right.
Roger, are we ready?
Contestants are you ready?
Yeah!
Question number one for Round Robin
throughout the 2000s.

that's specialized in directing
Greg Miller.

Yeah, 100%.
That's what,
but I thought I had it too.
Fucking fat fingers.

He got me, he got me honestly for once.

Did he do dead or alive?
Was there a dead or live?
I'm going to say dead or live.
Incorrect.
Tim Geddy.
Let's go House the Dead and Postal.
Correct.
But you know what?
Because Mike named more than one
Resident Evil movie,
I'm going to give him 10 points for that.
But he also said,
I'm going to give it to him.
You were nail it and you were like,
I'm running out of his name.
Sit under that.
That desk and charge that goddamn thing.

But Mike.
So Mike got those points.
I mean,

Points have been said the points in there.
Where am I at points-wise?

I think that was a miscalculation.

The person with the number closest to the answer

You know what I did this?
No, that doesn't.
3DS was fantastic, Mike.
Unfortunately, Greg wins that round.
The points go to him.
Review this for IG.
I'm old.
I know you get this feeling that you want to give people
extra points. I do do this thing
called the tip of the hat.
No points though. They're no points,
but maybe or may not they come with a bonus
star toward the end of the season. And so if somebody
says something cool, feel free, just give them a tip of the hat.
I don't do that in this episode.
You know, God, we're going to tip
a lot of hats because I'm just loving
Mike's energy. 50 cent.
He's out there, Mike. Tiff of the hat.
He's out of the hat. That's a tink of the comedy.
Go ahead here, Mike. Katie G, good luck.
Try to keep up with all this when he starts taking them back.

bonus star toward the end of the episode there.

That's why I gave you that tip of the hat.
Right there.
Shaggy-Doo, everybody.
Scooby-Doo is dead.
Just that tip of that's too.
From here on out, everyone.
Correct answers are worth 20.
And I'm not asking questions to the group.
These are Taylor, the questions Taylor made for each contestant.
And you only have 15 seconds to answer.
We will start with Michael.
Oh, thank you.
Mike, your respect for Greg is so strong that you think of him when you smoke weed
and how you've disappointed him by doing drugs.
I hate it.
To test your bond, I have to ask you.
What is the name of the first Ghostbusters game ever released in 1984?
What is?
Yep.
Ghostbusters the movie.
The game.
You know we're going to give it to you.
You had Ghostbusters in there.
You had Ghostbusters in there.
What does it say on the sheet?
What is the answer to say?
It just says Ghostbusters.
Yeah, exactly.
It just says Ghostbusters.
It's not the fucking name.
He just said, man.
But he said, what is Ghostbusters?
But then he put a pause in it.
And then to me, that means, that's a period.
Well, the pause came after the movie and then he just added the game because it felt incomplete.
But I don't listen to them.
He showed his work.
And that's what I'll say.
He showed his work.
Tim.
Yeah.

That's wild blessing.
What an insane thing we're doing here today.
Gregory.
He's ahead of him now.
Oh, shit.
Right.
These are worth 20 points.
You know what, Greg?
Tip of the hat to you for that.
I appreciate it.
Yeah.
Greg.
Yeah.
You were the biggest Ghostbusters fan that I know.
Thank you.
You even loved Ghostbusters, the Frozen Empire.
Because it was good.
Even though most people rightfully believe it was bad.
No.
But even though it is bad.
You didn't say it was bad.
It's still grossed $88 million internationally, including over $300,000 in Hungary.
So tell me, Greg, in which year was Archdukech Franz Ferdinand, the presumed heir of the throne for Austria-Hungary, assassinated, sparking the parake that led to World War I?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the World War.
What year did that happen?
For the great question, you know.
has only been these two World Wars, so it should be
that, you know what I mean?
You know, we're trying to get a third one out the door.
We just can't figure it out yet.
I played Valiant Hearts.
1932.
1932?
Yeah.
For the thing that led to World War I?
One.
When did World War II happen, Greg?
You know?
I'm not going to put you on the spot.
Greg, that is incorrect.
Gentlemen, you have a chance to, uh, Tim, 1917.
Ooh, a great movie, but not the year we're looking for.
This is multiple choice.
You could have waited.
But that is okay.
That is okay.
I appreciate you.
Michael, the multiple choice goes to you.
What year was Archdub...
Don't...
What year was Archduke, Franz Fernand assassinated?
Is it A, 2021.
B, you can tell who wrote this question.
2024.
C, 2010.
Oh, my God.
Or D, 1914.
It's too close to it's Titanic.
A lot of great answers there.
I'm going to go with D-19.
Final answer?
That is my final answer.
That is the year that happened.
Kevin, what is the score recap?
The scores are as follows at the bottom.
Team Blue with 20 points.
At the middle, Team Orange with 60 points.
And at the tippy top,
Team Purple
with 70 points.
We're very proud of you.

the show is not over yet.
But we do want to think...
What?
I said anybody's game.
But it is, in fact,
anybody's game.

The wild thing is, I could just sing a song right now
and you would just continue.
all the lyrics for that song.
But you don't know that World War I happened before World War II.
It's,
well,
no,
I just don't know when World War II happened either.
You know what I just need to think about it.
Anything,
anything like,
Let's play Critical Hit.
The rules are simple,
ladies and gentlemen,
Critical Hit is a game about video game movie reviews.
I'm going to read you,
review blurbs about a video game movie,
and it's up to you to buzz in and guess the movie based on the review.
Each round has three different blurbs for the game,
for the same game. The earlier you guessed the game, the more points you get,
excuse me, the more points you get with a max of 30 points per round.
But you have only one guess per blurb.
I'll read three. You want you guys.
Yeah, yeah.
The add-on. If you get the movie right, you have the chance to guess the exact
rotten tomato score of the movie for a critical hit to double your points for the round.
Are you ready? Yes. Yeah. Round one.
This is from heaven or horse.
You have it a two out of five.
But I like what I see.
I just don't get the feeling I want from my survival horror movie.
This is due to the story, which I know is based on a video game,
but I need to care more about these characters.
No, like Mike.
Resident Evil, too.
A good guess.
Incorrect.
Greg.
Until dawn.
It's correct.
Thank you.
Wow.
Yeah, that's him.
That's how you're going to guess.
Now, can you guess the tomato square?
the rotten tomato score.
Can you,
I'm unfamiliar with rotten tomatoes.
So am I,
is it like metacritic
where it's gonna be like a 67
or something like that?
Okay, cool.
For until dawn,
we'll give it a hot,
54.
Oh,
so close.
It was 52.
Okay.
That's wild.
Blessing just made an audible gasp
and now I'm wondering
if I need to give you points for that.
Blessing, can I get a way in on that?
He says yes.
He said,
yeah.
He said, yeah.
He got very,
close to that but but producer roger
said specifically i have to do the exact
score for that no it has to be the exact score
that said he guessed it on the first blur
which means he does get a hefty 30 points for
hey
there you go
could have been 60
could have been 60
you don't know your history
round two
i don't know history
fucking until bond
met a creek
Tim is locked in
Mike is wondering what his next meal will be
and Greg is just really pissed off about that
World War one
World War two question
from the independent
gave it a two out of
of five. Some of the set pieces
chases through the airport
fights on a train track, car chases, or helicopter
hurling into
we just buzzed. Tim. Uncharted.
Incorrect.
Can you start from the top, please?
Some of the set pieces, chases to the airport,
fights on train tracks, car crashes, or helicopter
hurling into the skyscrapers are very nifty
choreographed, but you can't help
thinking this would be more fun as an
interactive game. All right.
I get a shot.
You do get a shot.
Need for speed?
Incorrect.
Michael, you want to take a stab at this?
Yeah, I'll take a lock, in on this.
You know, hurling cars through skyscrapers.
That's exciting.
Train tracks, those are cool.
Yeah.
Yep.
This is giving vibes of Tomb Raider, but the new one.
A good guess.
Incorrect.
Moving on to blurb number two.
From the Toronto Star.
gave it a 1.5 out of four
and said,
who's human and who's not
consumes much of the running time
of this rot action film,
which vainly attempts to revive
a forgotten video game spinoff starring
Timothy Olafan.
Mr. Greg Miller.
Hitman.
Hitman. Oh, blood money.
The first assassin.
Bald guy.
So close.
Hitman does cry.
So close.
Tim Gettys.
Hitman, Agent 47.
Is what we were looking for there, Tim.
Great job.
Great job.
I'll remember that.
Now, Tim, of course, for a chance to double those points you just got, can you guess the
Rotten Tomato score?
52.
A good number.
And really would have helped Greg out in the last round.
It would have.
That is incorrect.
The Rotten Tomato score was, in fact, a whopping eight.
It was terrible.
It was that bad?
Apparently.
Wowsers.
Yeah, remember this was they made the one with Timothy Oliphant first, and then that
was so bad they were like we got to get another stab at this so they recast a different actor and it was
pretty atrocious the horror i had when we were watching alien earth and timothy olympin's name
came up at the end and jen said who was he in this and i was like wait a man he was the guy with silver
hair he's awesome she's like oh my god hitman was in this i'm like how do you only know him as hitman
how is that the fucking pole you're making right now he likes to fly under the radar just like me yeah
You're very quiet.
Round three.
Time out gave this a three out of five and said,
if you're not a franchise devotee,
imagine watching who framed Roger Rabbit after a PCP binge,
and you'll get the idea.
Any guesses.
You don't have to raise your hand, Mike.
You can buzz in.
He's putting it off together.
I'm going to say borderlands.
Incorrect.
If you're not a franchise devotee,
imagine watching who framed Roger Rabbit after a
PCP binge and you'll get
the idea.
Pixels?
Incorrect. Looney Tunes the movie
starring Brendan Fraser. Wow. A great
film. A great film. Not the answer
we're looking for. Moving on to blurb.
Number two. This comes from the
Independent. Give it a three out of five stars as well.
Damn, this isn't a bad of a movie.
Keep that in mind.
Fans might get what they want out of this, but
who else is the film
trying to please? It's hard to tell.
outside of one very important demographic
that is generously catered to
people who think the main character is absolutely adorable
and don't care what happens in the film.
Minecraft.
No.
The main Jack Black adorable.
Tim Geddes.
Pokemon Detective Pikachu.
Oh, that's a good poll.
Pokemon Detective Pikachu is correct.
Good year is adorable.
He is very adorable.
And with Ryan Reynolds' voice,
made more adorable.
Yeah.
lovable.
Rotten tomato score?
Rotten tomato score.
Hit me with you.
it go with the sweet 69 so close it was a 68 on tomatoes half one yeah I liked it
more than 60 I mean only sat in theaters once but I enjoyed myself yeah that's before I was a
Pokemon fan the final question it's the final question round four three movie
buffs gave this two and a half out of four stars saying quote just your basic
aliens rip off with the name of a formally popular video game franchise kicked on.
Tim Gettys.
Doom.
Mike, I'm so disappointed with you.
I fucking jam that button.
I'm so disappointed with you.
You were praying to God, but Tim took it right out from underneath you.
It is, in fact, Doom.
Now, Tim, if you'd like, what is the Rotten Tomato score?
47.
47 is so generous.
So generous.
It is a solid 18.
Oh, yeah.
Let's get a score of recap.
Not great for Team Blue.
They are at the bottom with 50.
Then Team Purple and right in the middle where they fit best with 70.
Team Orange taking it with 130.
But it's still anybody's game?
I don't believe it's anyone's game anymore.
Hell yeah.
I believe Tim was.
Who knows?
There's so much chaos.
But maybe it's like it's a whole other game.
This one flew by.
I wish we had another round.
We do have some really good highbreaker questions, but I don't think we need them, ladies
gentlemen.
That's it for this episode of Game Showdown, your nerdy trivia show.
We'll be back next week with another, but until next time, Roger just gave me this.
Because it's mine.
And I'm going to slide it to you right now, Tim.
I appreciate that.
I'm sorry, Greg.
I don't want to be dangerous.
Can you just put your hands on that and slide it over to Tim?
Thank you.
You got to bring up the Star Trek.
Star Treker.
Before I give you the star, Tim, let's catch up with the season with the Star Trek.
I'm like Ron Burgundy
Yeah
If it's not on the page I don't read it
Mm-hmm
Give me a second one
I figure out how to fix this number
But uh
Ooh is Andy's Tim score I guess
Yeah I can iterate this
So coming into this episode
Of course Greg with Team Blue
Came in with one star
After having one taken away
For no reason
Team Purple and Team Orange
Came into this episode
With two stars each
Because of Team Orange's victory today
Congratulations Tim
They have gone up
By one star
Bringing them to three
Feels good
And now Team Orange
is in the lead so far for the season,
but we'll see if they can keep up with this next week.
I can't believe I won this episode.
I was sure that somehow there was going to be some fuckery.
But it feels good.
Oh, that's in my space.
Scrolling back up.
This has been Game Showdown,
the nerdy trivia occasion.
We'll be back next week with another episode,
but until next time, it's been our pleasure to serve you.
