Today, we begin a new mini-season of Game Showdown.
Get ready for Game Showdown.
Say Game Showdown one more time.
What I meant to say is that we're competing or are we beginning a new mini-season to compete for Stars in the Bank.
Oh!
Which you should be very excited.
My old lover.
I've had some times with her.
I'm one of your host, Blessing Adelia Jr.
I'm joined by three contestants representing three teams.
We have Andy Cortez representing Team Purple.
I miss Greg hosting.
Not because I don't like you hosting.
I just don't.
I was further away from him.
Yeah.
He has an energy when he's a contestant.
There was just a lot less of him.
Yeah.
The three-time champion.
How old is that belt?
That case kind of fading off of that thing, ain't it?
Oh, the case long gone.
Yeah.
The eye was gone forever.
And then, yeah, we lost the K along the way, too.
But it was kind of funny, Life 3.
NDA funny.
Well, well, of course that is the champion of season.
Man, now you mess me up.
Is it three?
I think it'll see, no, season four.
Season four.
Don't believe his lies.
Season four.
Season four, season three.
The Nick Scarpino season and season three.
Thank you very much.
That's a three Pete right there.
Tim Gettys could never.
The champion of season four.
The captain of Team Orange, Greg Miller.
Thank you.
And hosts a kind of Feudy.
Host of Kind of Fuity.
Yes, we've traded places for a limited amount of time.
But of course, we have a third contestant.
And you know what?
Let's have the captain of Team Blue introduce them.
What's up, everybody?
It's your boy, Tim Getty's the leader and face of Team Blue.
But guess what?
I'm not alone.
I have a baby.
I'm at home with my baby so I can't be there to compete in the Stars in the Bank Challenge.
Of course, this tournament, very important for me to win.
And so Blessing told me to hit up a couple champions to represent me, Tim Gettys, and Team Blue, our team.
Isn't that right, Sandy?
Yeah, it is right, okay?
And guess who I'm going to have first from working band by, he's worked at GameSpot.
But currently, you can find Tim Bright and some of the best articles at IGN.com.
Of course, we're talking about my brother from the Bay that's not actually from the Bay, Michael Hyam.
Let's go, baby.
Michael Hyam!
Welcome to the stage.
Michael Hyam
Rockin
You gotta do the
Chican
You gotta do the front roll
Like Willy Wonka
I don't know how to do that
Yeah
Was that was that a little
Was that like a little
Sane people there
Say what?
Was that a little bit
of the saying people there
From Star Wars
Oh is it
Little
Oh
Oh
What's the
Oh man
There you go
You're all inventing
New slurs for me
That's crazy
You know what
He said it
And I was like
Can't he say that?
No
I'm like
Where I'm from
We got jungles
So
Oh yeah
Michael I am
I'm
I've always thought
It did sound slurrish, though, right?
It is. It is a slur in, like, their universe.
Yes.
Well, I don't, I don't respect the Tuscan Raiders.
I don't remember them saying that in an episode, too.
Yeah, Tuscan Raiders.
They make those noises.
You know what?
I've been, I've been listening to Kind of Feudy and Game Showdown for quite some time now,
and it's finally nice to come back and beyond.
So, thank you.
Awesome.
And you're, of course, competing for Team Blue.
Thank you so much, Tim, for picking a champion to represent, of course, the homie,
the roomie.
That's me, Michael Hyian.
You know what I'm saying?
Now,
to start off this episode, I want to start by introducing a small new mechanic to a game showdown.
After you buzz in, you have 10 seconds.
You have 10 seconds to make your...
They're getting a hip to our shit over here.
Wait, what?
So, of course, we have round robin.
We have plenty of games here.
The thing is you buzz in when you want to answer.
After you buzz in, you only have 10 seconds to make your answer.
If you don't answer quick enough, you'll hear this sound play.
meaning you have forfeited your answer.
Ah.
So this is just me evolving with the contestants.
I appreciate that.
I respect that.
I love that.
Thanks.
We've never broken the rules.
No.
It just didn't exist before.
Usually when the question ends,
Hym,
it's a race for it and then.
Yeah.
Here we go.
Y'all got to teach me the next level of stats.
Well,
we're all learning today.
All right.
There you go.
Can I ask you question?
What's up?
So how many episodes of this season?
How many do I have to win to get stars in the bank?
Is it a cumulative total?
What are we doing?
We're doing stars.
You'll learn about it.
about it as we go, but we have four episodes planned.
I love that.
This season for your mid-lemonies.
So I just need three stars to get it.
Sure.
Why say it like that?
No, I don't really.
Oh, I think y'all got that poker face straight.
Sounds like y'all got some Mario Party shit going on over here.
I got a fun season planned, guys.
Katie G.
Katie G.
We're going to start off with the trivia question worth 10 points and the chance to start off strong.
Contestants, you can buzz in to answer.
What year did the Ubisoft game for all?
honor release.
Michael Hyam.
2017.
2017 is the correct answer.
Tim Getty's might have chosen right.
That is 10 points for Team Blue.
Now remember, this is kind of funny,
kind of funny game showdown, our nerdy show,
where players compete to trip.
God, I've fucked this whole thing.
You forgot how hard it is.
Y'all can't read.
I haven't, I haven't hosted this show,
and I think half a year is what it feels like.
This is Game Showdown.
Kind of Funnies Nerdy Game Show where players
compete to earn stars and become chance.
at the end of the season.
This season, you're competing for the stars
in the bank briefcase.
The briefcase, which I got right here.
There she is. Wow.
I miss her.
This can be cashed in.
Had a lot of fun with her, Andy.
You know what I mean?
I'm going to stop touching it.
This can be cashed in at any time
during the next season of Game Showdown
for the opportunity to steal a-
I'm going to win this.
Did we clean it post-cake?
Nah.
All right.
You can cash this in for the opportunity
to steal a star from another player
during the next season or more game showdown.
You know,
it really is Mario Party. It's jazz here.
I had game showdown. So we'll see how that goes.
I need Greg to have a coughing fit that like ruins the timer that like exceeds.
That'd be fun. I like that. I'm like,
it's like the Aaron Burr commercial about got milk from back in the day.
And it's like a pat upon question. Yeah, you do.
Aaron,
no. Yeah. Before Hamilton, the only time I heard about Aaron Burr was a commercial for got milk.
Where there was this guy who's obsessed with Aaron Burr.
And then he called into the show to win a thing and he knew it.
but he had eaten a big piece of peanut butter toast
or just peanut butter bread
and then he went to pour the glass of milk
and the milk was out and he panicked
and he went,
what kind of boomer shit is this?
Yeah, I was gonna say,
what year do you think?
We used to have a milk commercial.
That's how boomer it is.
You'll have, you'll have, you know, drink milk.
Thank you to our Patreon producers,
Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster,
and Delaney the Somme-Twining.
For now, let's play Round Robin.
The rules are simple.
Round Robin is a pretty straightforward question
and answer game about video games.
I'll give you a question.
You have your buzzers that you'll use to buzz in and answer said question.
However, this round robin is a special edition.
Every round is a messy mashup.
I'm going to read to you a clue, which will be the description of a game.
The answer will be the name of two games mashed together.
For example, if I said in this game sneak through top-down corridors while defending the earth from alien invasion, the answer would be metal gears of war.
Michael, does that make sense?
Yes.
I'm also adding in a hint system.
Just for today, if you buzz in and give the correct answer, that's 20 points.
If everyone gets it wrong, I'll add a hint, and the round becomes worth 10 points.
Nice.
These are some good changes.
Thank you, thank you.
Wow.
Contestants, are you ready?
Yeah.
Round number one.
Nice patch we put through, you know?
Lead the members of your party on their quest to destroy an evil artist so that she can never paint death again.
in this action roguelike
Work with Michael Hyam
Claire Obscure Expedition 33 Immortals
Damn
That is the correct answer
I'm a gamer
That's good
I like him
That's good
But the rest of the clue was going to be
In this action rogue like work with tons
of eternal players
To survive hordes of monsters
And defeat massive bosses
That game's on Steam now by the way
33 immortals
Oh wow
Now I can play it yeah
Good for them

Just in case I'm pronouncing it wrong, but I think I got it.

Hint, this second gen monster

I can't get the second half.
My head is...
It looks.
like nobody's got it.
The correct answer
would have been
Pokemon Golden Sun.
Oh, okay.
Pokemon Golden Sun.
Okay. It's a tough one.
Because when you said mobile, that was the one that
threw me off. So I knew Golden Sun was a part
of half of it, but I was like, or he said on the go.
Fuck. There you go. Yeah, the on the go,
the monster collecting. Even me saying
gilded RPG was kind of like trying
to tip my hat toward the gold
part of it. It was the advanced bit. Game Boy
Advance was really? Advanced for Golden Sun.
Got it.
Yes, yes.
That was good.
Second Gen monster
collecting RPG again,

otherwise it is an unbalanced mess
with a fucking flyer every game.
Andy.
A flyer.
I'm going to take that as like,
I don't even know what that means in this sense,
but I'm going to take it as like,
when you're betting,
like you got to, like,
I'm going to put a flyer on so-and-so.
I'm going to go with Uma-M-M-Sum-A.
Done.
See you later.
I want to think.
Michael Hile.
I ain't thinking.
That is incorrect.
Okay, thank God.
Greg Miller.
Rival schools.
Rival schools is incorrect.
Our next hit.
Got me.
I forgot that thing was there.
But it was funny, I forgot about the rules.
Holy shit.
For a second, I thought it was a mistake, and I was like, no, that's valid.
That took you a little more than 10 seconds.
What's it?
It plays, it plays.
That's funny.
This next one comes from PC mag, who gave it a three out of five and says,
this is as fun in fast-paced as the original game,
but it's free-to-play structure.
Solis the experience a bit.
Who's sequel, that was free-to-play?
I had bad bitch
Michael
Is it Overwatch 2?
Overwatch 2 is

Whoa!
I didn't know we had that graphic.
Holy shit.
That is 40 points for the round.
That's the first critical hit ever.
Well, I mean, yes.
I don't know if that's true.
That's the first official one.
Oh, man.
Is it really?
I had the first like unofficial one with Bloodborn,
but that's the first like official on a real
one that matters.
Because ours was, mine was like during our
little like off period.
Can we get the above him?
Thank you.
I wasn't here for Andy's history lesson.
Bullshit, I don't care about you.
Okay, Jesus Christ.
I want me to walk through all the championships
up one again?
Yeah, let me hear all of your shit.
Critical hit.
Oh, I forgot I did that.
I didn't know that was a big.
I didn't like I requested this for
And Roger just slid in there without telling me.
Thank you so much.
And bear it.
Round two.
This first review comes from Game Chronicles, who gave this game a 10 out of 10 and says,
this is easily one of my top five games of 2010 so far.
Oof.
The level of energy and excitement and the wonder of what could possibly come next kept me
playing for hours on end.
Michael.
Mass Effect 2?
That is incorrect.
I was in college, bro.
I was in Dune.
Andy.
No.
What the fuck was that?
Proposed it and said, nah.
I thought it was like a wrong year.
Greg Miller.
Dead space.
Dead space is incorrect.
Let's move on to our second review blurb from Game Informer,
who gave this game an 8.5 out of 10 and says,
every superhero has his Achilles heel.
Greg.
Infamous two.
That is incorrect.
Andy.
Injustice.
That is incorrect.
I'm not finished reading about it.
We know, we understand.
Yeah, you said superhero.
Calm down.
Every superhero has his Achilles heel,
and this one is no different.
While a combat is fast and fun,
the auto-targeting occasionally snaps to the wrong place,
and the camera can have a mind of its own when you're climbing walls.
Oh, okay.
Michael's the only one who hasn't buzzed in for this round.
Michael.
Is it one of those Marvel Ultimate Alliance?
You have a specific one?
Oh shit.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2?
That is incorrect.
This last blur comes from Game Master UK,
who gave this game an 8.4 out of 10
and says the greatest spidey game of this generation.
Michael.
It's a Spider-Man 3 game on PS3.
That is incorrect.
Fuck, dude.
Andy.
Spider-Man Web of Shadows.
That is incorrect.
Greg.
Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions?
Spider-Man.
Shattered directions?
is the correct answer.
The rest of the hint would have been
four fantastic flavors of Araknid awesomeness.
Now, Greg,
you could get 10 points for that round,
or you can double that. If you can tell me the exact
Xbox 360 Metacritic
of Spider-Man's Shattered Dimensions.
81.
81.
Is incorrect.
76.
Let's move on.
To round number three,
this first blurb comes from
Univoso Nintendo,
who gave this game a six out of
A six out of ten and says digging for three and a half hours may be fun, but in the end, it's just digging.
Digging for three and a half hours may be fun.
Greg. Terraria.
Terraria is incorrect.
What were the details on the front end of the reviewer?
Universal Nintendo, they give it a six out of ten.
If nobody has it, we'll move on to our second blurb.
Metro Game Central gave this an eight out of ten.
and says despite its many and obvious influences,
this is an impressively unique vision
that offers excellent value for money
and one of the best surprises on the 3DS's e-shop.
Michael.
Is it Steamroll Dig?
It is Steamroll Dig.
Oh, that's the correct answer.
Now, that can give you 20 points,
or you can double that.
If you can tell me the 3DS Metacritic of SteamWorld Dig.
3DS Metacritic for Steamroll Dig.
I'm going to say 78?
Close, but not.
close enough. 82.
Okay.
Okay.
We're gonna move on to round number four.
The first blurb comes from Daily Star who gave this game of five out of five stars and says,
it continues to plunder that wonderful rich vein they've been tapping of a brilliant
single player story combined with first rate game playing graphics.
Greg Miller.
Uncharted two.
That is incorrect.
This could be anything.
Could be.
How lucky you feeling?
I mean, Andy.
Overwatch, too.
That is incorrect.
You never know, man.
You wish it had that single player opponent.
Could you get one more time or?
It continues to plunder that wonderful rich vein.
They've been tapping of a brilliant single player story
combined with first rate gameplay and graphics.
Michael.
Assassin's Creed for Black Flag?
That is incorrect.
This next one comes from Destructoid
who gave this game a 9 out of 10
and says,
combat, a big reason why people gravitate
towards this franchise in the first place,
is mostly the same, which works for me.
There's a Dodge, Perry,
and block system on the defensive side,
which can be plussed up through various
means, like skill trees, to create even more
engaging timing sequences.
Timing sequence, huh?
A lot of gameplay details there. Andy.
Crackdown 2. That is incorrect.
Hmm.
Can we get them both back to back?
Sure.
Daily Star gave it five out of five stars.
It continues to plunder that wonderful rich vein
they've been tapping of a brilliant single player's story
combined with first rate gameplay and graphics.
Destructoid, 9 out of 10.
Combat, a big reason why people gravitate

on the defensive side, which can be plussed up
through various means like skill trees
to create even more engaging timing sequences.
Timing sequences.
Greg Miller.
Star Wars Jedi Survivor.
That is incorrect.
If nobody has another guess,
we'll move on to our third review,
which comes from Easy Allies.
Hey!
Who gave this game a 9 out of 10
and says this is a worthy follow-up
to the 2018 masterpiece.
Michael.
Oh, damn it.
I instantly regret.
Is it Spider-Man 2?
That is incorrect.
Marvel Spider-Man 2?
No.
Okay.
I would have given it to you.
Greg. God of War Ragnarok.
God of War Ragnarok is the correct answer.
Needed that breadcromb of what other 2018 game there was.
Now Greg, can you tell me the PS4 Metacritic?
Why is this? Wait, God of War Ragnar is a PS5 game.
Let me double check this.
It was a question.
Yeah, it was cross-in.
Yeah, but usually I pull from the most reviewed platform,
but I think I probably meant to write PS5 here,
so I'm just going to double check to make sure.
But can you tell me the PS5 metac of God of War Ragnarok?
I got it right.
88.
That is incorrect.
The PS5 Metacritic is a 94.
Oh, wow.
Wow.
Wow.
That brings us to the end of our normal round of this game.
Critical Hit.
Wow, I'm really rusty on the show.
That brings us to the end of the normal rounds of critical hit.
But we do have a bonus round titled Metascore Mayhem.
I'm going to put up five different games on the screen.
You each have whiteboards.
I want you to organize these games from top to bottom
based on what you think the meta score is.
For every correct spot, you'll get a whopping 20 points.
The twist, if any of you gets all five games correct,
the game ends and we dish out the scores as is.
However, if no one gets all five correct,
I'll tell you each how many games you have in the right positions
and I'll give you one chance to change your answers.
I won't tell you which games you have in the right spots, just how many.
You have 60 seconds to jot down your answers.
Contestants, are you ready?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Barrett, bring up the games.
Lowest to highest, right?
Highest at the top to lowest, yeah.
Wow.
So, the games are aliens, colonial Marines,
Assassin Creek Shadows, Child of Light, Rocket League, and Battlefield 2042.
You need to organize these.
Highest have the highest metacritics.
in order to the lowest, which has the lowest metacritic.
You have just about 30 seconds left to jot these down.
We're looking for somebody to get all five in the correct spots.
About 15 seconds left here.
All our contestants still jotting.
Locked in, baby.
You got about five seconds left.
Looks like Greg's locked in.
Looks like Andy's locked in.
We're going to start off with Greg Miller.
Greg, what order you got?
Best.
So number one.
Child of Light, number two, Rocket League,
number three, Alien Colonial Marines,
number four, Battlefield 2042,
number five, Assassin's Creed Shadows.
Andy, what you got for me?
I have Rocket League, Child of Light,
AC Shadows, Battlefield 2042,
and Aliens Colonial Marines.
Michael, what you got for me?
I got exactly what Andy got.
Rocket League, Child of Light,
Assassin's Creed Shadows, Battlefield 2042,
and Aliens Colonial Marines.
Greg, you have one.
one game in the correct spot.
Thank you.
Andy and Michael.
You have all five games in the correct spot, meaning both Hion and Andy.
Gamers get all the points for the round.
You get 100 points, I believe.
Greg gets 20 points for that round.
Ah, ha. Loser.
And that does complete the bonus round.
You guys both got the perfect order there.
Crabb is so washed.
If we can have the perfect score.
Sorry, if we can have the recap.
He just needs to be coughing over there.
The recap in last place.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Take that Greg for Team Orange with a measly 80 points.
Can't even get into the triple diggies.
Fucking embarrassing.
In second place,
continuing the showdown tradition
of being the bridesmaid,
but never the bride.
It is Andy the Nitro Rifle Cortez
with 140 points
and the winner
for Team Blue
guesting today
my baby boy
Michael Hyam
with 190
poise.
It looks like
Tust go.
Picked right.
I didn't know that was the end of it.
That's the end of it.
That's it.
If you can pick up a Star Treker.
Way to go Michael.
Way to go Hyam.
Oh, I'm so happy.
I just want to
thank God. I want to thank my mom. I want to thank my, maybe him, but we'll get to that.
And I want to thank Tim Geddes for putting me on. You know what I'm saying? I got you, bro.
There we go. Of course, our star tracker is up. We came into this episode. It's the beginning of the season.
We started with no stars, but Michael Hyam playing for Team Blue has earned the first star of the mini season of Game Showdown and compete for stars in the bank.
Michael, this is for you. That's the star. Oh, I get a little more. Yeah. Oh, I'm going to hang this on her wall.
I need you to leave that here.
We only have a certain number of those.
But Michael, thank you so much for playing.
Yeah.
Thanks for coming through.
Hell yeah.
And of course, we have more episodes of Game Showdown through the weeks.
So tune in to see who's able to win the stars in the bank for the next season,
the next full season of Game Showdown.
Of course, I've been your host, blessing Adioia Jr.
Those have been your contestants.
And until next time, it's been our pleasure.
Barrett.
Can you hit him with the sound?
Can you hit him with the sound?
Barrett.
We'll see you guys later.
We'll see you guys later.
Peace.
