This is different than the last couple times we've done the 10 games to define us videos because those we each prepped our own lists. This one, we're coming up with the list for ourselves today with your help. So Super Chat in what games you think define kind of funny. We're an 11-person business all about live talk shows. Today, you already got a Games Daily talking all about intergalactic. I always forget. We want to call it interstellar. Yeah, intergalactic, the heretic prophet. That's why we do.

Exactly. Today after games, then after this, we got the Arc Raiders stream. If you're a kind of funny member, today's Greg Ways, great three most... Mike's going to get us into trouble on Arc Raiders. I'm excited because I haven't played in a while, and I don't think I'll be playing a whole lot just with everything else we got. So it's like, I think Mike thinks that I'm like just super scared of combat.

I'm all down. I'm super down to like. You just don't like the lying. Well, um, yeah, I guess that does make me feel bad sometimes. You know, if we're just shooting first,

I'm down. No, we like to, you know, lead him on. Okay. Bring him into the fly trap. You know what?

Yeah, the spider web is what he normally says. You know what? I'm turning a new leaf. In what way? He's going to be an asshole. Evil? I'm going to be an asshole.

I'm going to be an asshole. I don't like it. Oh, man. And then after that, if you are kind of, well, not actors, at some point, if you're kind of funny, remember today's Gregway is Greg's

three most anticipated 2026 games. I want to hear that. Thank you to our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, and Megabuster and Delaney, the Somme, twining. Start with the topic of the show.

Tats, thoughts, the last couple months, it feels like everybody was putting out there. Top 10 games that define the time. them and then we took that and over the weeks we've been doing ours whenever

scheduled permitted to like get all the different kind of funny members in there and it's been a lot of fun a lot of learning about each other and what makes us us but what makes kind of funny kind of funny that is the question we are going to make a list of 10 games that define

kind of funny and it's hard because this doesn't mean our most played games this doesn't mean our most loved games individually or any of that we got to come up with the 10 games that define the history, the storied history of this company. What jumps to mind, Andy Cortez? I see you there, pondering, thinking.

Well, I don't know if a lot of the audience would even agree with some of these because there's been a lot of change and turnover in audience. And based on some of the more recent episodes of Game Showdown where we ask like games about kind of funny and to me, like such an old head where I just think of games in party mode that really defined us that some people go like I'll vote other show I'm like really you're not mentioning the stuff in part so like I would say Nidhog 2 that's the number one that's a number one draft pick it has to be on there yeah Nidhog 2 hours and hours and hours and hours of content that again has

extended so far beyond beyond just those original days of Nidhog 1 right like I'll never forget and this is a, you know, what? Last year, two years ago when we did the IGN kind of funny extra life stream. And we introduced that brand of IGN to Nidhog 2. And the next day was like some birthday party from somebody at the company. And they showed a photo, they put a photo on social of them playing Nidhog 2 at that birthday party. And I was like, that's the power of this game. That is how good this game is Nidhog 2 when you're chasing each other down, throwing things, me summoning Satan. It has to be on there. It has to be on there. do like starting with party mode though, Andy, because I feel like in there,

there are at least a handful of games that we can put on the list and maybe they don't make the final cut, but like, bless, what pops it to your mind when it comes to the party mode area? Real quick before I lose it, I just want to, what I want to do right now is just ask people in the chat and YouTube or even comments or whatever. Type the number one if you don't even know what party mode is. That's a very, very good thing. There's the chances of that popping up in people's algorithms for people that have just started listening in the last year, year and a half, two, three years, like, they don't even know what that is. There's a good chance of that, you know.

That's my thing is, you know, Tim asks what would stick out to me from the party mode era. One, party mode wasn't a thing when I was working here. And also, party mode wasn't something I watched. Like, I was in it for the podcast. Yeah. I was like listening to KHD and all that stuff. And so when I think of party mode, I think of Rainbow 6. But like, even Nidhog 2 was not the first game that jumped in mind for me because I think I don't.

I'm thinking a lot about the last six years or like specific moments. Party mode isn't something that's like forefront of my mind. Yeah. Yeah, party mode was a let's play series that we announced alongside kind of funny games daily at Kind of Funny Life 3. And it was mainly four players. Usually it would be me, Andy, Nick and Greg doing some type of multiplayer game, whether it was competitive co-op or whatever. And Andy would edit them and add a lot of funny bits and stuff. And definitely a fan favorite show.

that you could still watch of ours on YouTube.com slash kind of funny games channel. I do have one that is, because I don't think this is a party mode. I think this might have just been a let's play, but it is very much pre me joining kind of funny. Emily is away. Yeah. I think that for me was like such a locked in, a must watch let's play from the first few years of KF being a thing. Yeah. And that one I think is special for a lot of different reasons.

But yeah, Greg and I doing the full stream of it, the game meaning a lot to us that also us, I think being, being able to platform that game in a way. Like, it's one of the few games that Nidhog 2, other people have played that. But like, Emily is the way is like tied to us, I think, way more so than a lot of the other games. God, we got so drunk. Yeah, so way too drunk.

Even with a lot of the party mode games, like a lot of that just came from what did Achievement Hunter do? What's our spin on that, you know? Every time I see this. And I don't even think it was this one. I think of like a certain conversation you had. No, you don't. You don't think about that.

right. Nobody thinks about that. Nobody thinks about that conversation. It didn't happen. It didn't happen. We all know. If you're an audio listener and you can't, well, and you've missed, you don't know. Emily is a way is this interactive narrative adventure where it's all done through an instant messenger window. And specifically old school AOL instant messenger. I forget what year it's set, but you see the Kings of Leon like fucking thing there. The graduation cover art right there. So that at least 2007. So like it's a place in time. all of these as you went through and played them. I think this is Emily.

Yeah, Emily West 2. Yeah, exactly. Great game. What a good. Fantastic game. Because I think,

I think of like what the modern era could be if we found a rhythm with Pico Park, like that could become a classic sort of, you know, in five years people going, oh, Pico Park 2 is such a kind of funny game. Yeah. I already kind of feel like it is just because of how special every time we've played it has been.

And the fact that it is the entire squad. And us even dressing up and something. I just feel like there's enough, like, identifiable things about it that, like, people yearn for the Pico Park. Yeah. Ninoctu and Emily is the way, I think, are walks. Yes. So I've put them on the numbered list. Pico Park I'm putting on the unnumbered list.

So we continue to talk about it. Here's what I want to throw out because I couldn't forget it. Super Mario 3D World. Yes. Yeah. Those were some pretty memorable pandemic streams. A lot of yelling. A four-part classic.

12 hours of insanity. Don't get the diduki, you know? Don't get the to dookie. Don't get the did. I think Roger edited those down at one point and put them on like the highlights channel. I'm not sure, but I do know that during the Thanksgiving break,

you had the great idea to just have a live stream of a bunch of old classic kind of funny content playing so people can just watch on Twitch the whole time, and Joey and I've been making a playlist, and those streams in order are all going to be part of it. Oh, wow, that's awesome. At some point, you can check

that out. That was a disaster because we were playing a Mario game before Nintendo fixed their online and made things, you know, marginally better, but this was like every action you would, for a precision platformer, every action we were hitting was

milliseconds late, and it was just so hard, man. It was such a hard game to play. And we did the final challenge, the Champions Road or whatever it was called. And like that was crazy, but we locked in and we got it done. It was a breaking point. I forgot all about this. But I remember it now that you're talking about it.

And I remember it being a big COVID thing. It would like knock me out for the whole day. Because when I was done, like after all the screaming, like, I would just be like, I'm spent. In the live chat, Ron Q21 says Nick's stupid Beanie. I had to read it. You see him, you got to say it. See something, say something, you know. Yason A says,

Blessing, and I'm playing RE7 also comes to mind. Oh, yeah, that's, I mean, there was definitely some memorable stuff during, like,

extra life streams or during just, like, kind of funny day streams, you know? Here in the chat, Foxy Steve with a super chat. Says, when I think of kind of funny, I think of war zone with the Gibrony boy.

Yeah. Yeah. And I do, that was something I wanted to bring up as somebody who knows how much call of duty has been played here. Of what we feel, where do we feel?

What do we, what won, that kind of thing. I think we have to put war zone. I think, yeah, I think just sheer amount of numbers. I think it wins in numbers-wise. I think the Gibroni boys were born. You know what I mean? In the zone.

Good point. It's a good point. It was like, I was going to say it was the kind of funny streams during the day. And then we would stream at night because we were stuck in the pandemic without much to do. And that's, that was our lives. And I think this is foreign. Tell me if I'm wrong to people who would be newer around here. but like that was Nick's like introduction to becoming a gamer.

Oh, for sure. Like he played DeiSax and stuff like that and we would joke around. But like Nick didn't play games recreationally until Warzone and he got obsessed. Absolutely. Yeah. And he wanted a $7,000 computer. He wanted one. He wanted two of them.

He wanted two graphics cards. God, he's such a disaster. I'm going to throw it out there that is going to be a lock. It's a bit of a stretch, but just a bit. Because it's not technically a video. video game, but it is a game. Are you to do what I was going to do? Lightning reaction.

Lightning reaction, baby. That's a good call. We got it. Oh, that freaking song, man. If you are new around here, don't remember lightning reaction. Lightning reaction is a game of skill. Oh, okay.

It's not wrong. Thank you very much, Barrett. I'm trying to think if we have anywhere that, like, I can't spell either. Lightning reaction. I'm trying to find a video. Yeah, no, nothing's coming up for kind of funny. Anyway, so it's a four-player game.

where you grab a silver thing with a button on it, you hold it, and you hit the button. And when the button changes colors and the song stops, you buzz in. And the first person to buzz in doesn't get shocked and the other three people get shocked. And the shock is more intense than you think it would be. Oh, yeah. The chat's also bringing up an amazing answer. Connect between three and five. Oh, shit.

Damn, yeah. Now we're going outside of video games and I kind of like that. It's kind of accurate, though. Yeah. Yeah. Connect between three and five. Connect three. What was it called?

Connect between three and five Yeah, that was a big one I mean that was a long Long play That was a long play About a year's long Worth the plank Um

I about Warboat Warboat was Warboat was a good follow up You know A lot of people took such a long time A lot of people really understate the importance of Warboat You know

But that was a really really important one Eldon Ring I think I've seen some people mention Eldon Ring I think those were some really memorable co-op streams between me, Nick and Mike? A really good answer I saw pop up a couple times that is a little different than the list we've been making,

but I really believe in it is Last of Us. Because I feel like Last of Us has been such a defining thing for the editorial side of kind of funny. Like Greg doing the spoiler cast, whether it's back at IGN with Colin or being able to do those interviews with Laura and Ashley and Troy and Neil. Yeah, like the amount of coverage we did for, stuff doesn't continue to do with the show and all of that. Like, I do feel like that, that game very much is a huge core tenets of kind of funny. Interesting. From a different perspective than just,

I think you're right. You're playing together, you know. This is navel gazing for sure. I saw somebody else say in the chat too, so I know I'm not crazy, crazy. But when you were like a game that isn't a video game, I inhaled, I was going to say game showdown. Like, do we count, would we count something that is our own thing? I mean, fuck it. Why not?

We put on the show. list. I mean, I thought you could make another list that's just the non-video game list. It's so funny because there's going to be like two different lists for the podcast listeners and for the stream watchers. See, that's my thing. Because as I hear you guys talk about, I'm like, none of these games really apply to me.

You know what I mean? Like Emily is a way, obviously I watch it. I fucking loved all in all that way. But like I look at Mario 3D World Warzone, even Lightning Reaction fuels before my time. When I think about the games that define us, I guess I think, I do think more of the editorial real side of like, I mean, Eldon Ring was one that Annie brought up a second ago, but I would say that and even Seifu being a game that I think, and correct me if I'm wrong for the people watching, I feel like we rode for Seafood more than most other outlets for Seifu.

Like that game clicked with all of us in a way where we're like, yo, this shit is a game of a year contender. That's a great call on. And like, I would see people in chat that are like, yo, other people don't love this game as much as you guys. Let me triple check. I feel like Seifu was in our top four that year. I mean, it must have been.

What year was that? 2022? Yeah, Seafood was our number three of 22 behind Eldon Ring and God of War Ragnar. That's, oh, God. No. I literally hate the sound. That's the one right there. Man.

Somebody would be getting shocked right now. And then if nobody does it, they all get shocked. Oh, God. Let's play around. And like, even just for. I doubt the batteries are fresh. You'll be fine. Just like content-wise.

I hate this so much. The Seifu Rates. Y'all don't want to smoke. Shut up, but the CPO race was fantastic. And that was like such a big first part of like... Plus, you press it as soon as it goes... Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's one of those, sometimes I forget the rules anymore.

It might be the one where the first person doesn't get shocked and everybody does. There was a weird thing. It doesn't matter. It'll be fine. Hit it early for a treat. No. Shit! The battery is definitely charged. The batteries are very charged.

Oh. Y'all were lucky. Y'all were lucky I wasn't around for this. I think I was just. I think I was easy. I think I farted. I've never been so locked in my life. My eyes are closed.

I'm just thinking about. But this is like LeBron, Michael Jordan. I was another level when he's first were playing this game. All right. Now you've got a grandpa. You know what I mean?

I'm playing Tekken. I'm ready for this shit. Chat has been bringing up our Metal Gear playthrough. But I feel like doing a series is cheating. I feel like we got to pick one Metal Gear. But I, and for me, it's a game that we didn't even do for that series,

which is five. I think of Metal Gear Solid 5 when I think of kind of funny. I think that actually is a good one. Yeah, I think going back to 2015, you think about the amount of kind of funny content made it on Metal Gear Solid 5 and then, yeah, full circle to us doing the streams we're playing through the whole series.

And then not playing that game. And then not playing that game. Remember when I was going to platinum out on that stream? People were writing in like, Greg, you can't even possibly do that. Wow, that was a crazy shock. I'm going to be, I still feel it. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Good job, Kevin with the new batterers. I appreciate that. Oh, you asshole. I'll never feel that feeling. Joey says they now play this at the family Thanksgiving. Lightning reaction. I like that.

I like that a lot. One that I want to throw out there from the party mode era that when I think of party mode immediately pops into my mind is the what's up Tim? What, what's up to it? Super sports match. Super sports matching. That was one that when I was driving and thinking about this. Like super sports match and for me,

yeah, like that is a definitive party mode streaming game. when I did the first kind of funny Paris Schneider invitational tournament or whatever I did it and we did that was like the definitive thing like that is such a but that is so old but it's like accurate though

we did it so many times the kind of funny world championship was like bread with super sports matching Andy won it for what was it 10 hours yeah you all took it from me immediately like we would do that anytime we had the chance to like perform on stage that's what we were playing and that's another example of a game that I feel like we

I don't say put on the mat but like that was a uniquely We talked and played that game in a way nobody else did It's still wild to think about that Like it was such a long time ago But it is still in the beard era of Greg Mm-hmm Like it's still post growing out the beard

I'm gonna get the I'm getting the time code for what's up to him I'm trying to Near the very very end You're gonna set it to like that Like that's such a iconic core what is kind of funny. It's a stupid song playing and Nick and Greg just adding words to it and everyone joining and bullying me. Right. Yeah. Okay. God forbid. We make you famous. God for me.

We make this kid fucking matter. I got to hear about it. I don't think so. I think it doesn't matter. I think it was your warning. Sure he started a little bit ahead, but I think it does that whole area. It doesn't matter is like that's bullshit. Nick is tied with me. I think. Oh my God. We're tied. Oh, my God. Oh, we can't focus up up to him. What's what? What's up to. Whoa. What's up a tomb? Hey.

Ro. Tim. What's what of Tim. What's up to? What's up of Tim? Hey. Oh, Tim.

A different area. All right. I miss party mode. Party mode was so much fun. I wish Andy would just do it again. Oh, man. Oh, God. That was fun.

I see for party mode, like, it's interesting. So the what's up Tim, I, now, I obviously know this song, but I couldn't have told you what game it was. And it's similar to Blackberries, where I don't remember when I was singing about Blackberries, what game were playing? Blackberries, they taste so good. The Battle sloths.

Was it really? Yeah. The Rouser Teeth published Battle Sloths. Wow. Give me those Black Berries. They taste so good. And it's just, I don't know why you were even saying, give me the blackberries. There wasn't an item in the game.

No, no, no, no, I wasn't game related. That's why I wouldn't make any sense to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The fake in it episode is also one I think about often. But again, like we are, like Bessie was mentioning, we, I think of the people that watch gameplay and the people that care about editorial. And usually the people that care about gameplay

also care about the podcast and the talk shows, but there's, it's not true necessarily. Yeah, the people who listen to a podcast rarely watch lets plays. Ron's saying it was Killer Queen, which would not. makes sense because there's the berries in Killer Coal. Oh shit. Yeah, you're right. I feel like that could be an answer. Killer Queen did have a decent amount of it.

I feel like it had a moment, but like it didn't last as long as it should have. I do think that one has... You expected that to go on. It has the dual angles, though. Where we did, I agree that we didn't go on as long as I expected it to. But also, that was one where we talked about it on Gamescast when it was an arcade game. Yeah. Like, I feel like the editorial coverage of that game, like most people weren't talking about.

that, right? We played it at E3. Yeah. That was the game we were playing where we discovered that one footprint where we can shut off the studio. I don't think it should be on the list. But in a similar thing of like, remember Barry's, do you remember this? I want to give an honorable mention to I-DARB.

Oh, yeah. If I-DARB is one of those that we did and we did this, like, this is like the first weeks. Yeah, we're covering it there, but it's all of us with Portilla, with Colin, in the living room. And I remember this was the one where when we just left IGN, I was so like, oh, man, are people going to care about us? And Xbox sent us so many fucking controllers.

This was the beginning of Xbox having an endless amount of plastic where, yeah, like, I swear to God they send us like 15 controllers for this. And they haven't stopped sending them since. Thank God, God bless. I love the controllers. Put a back button on them. some back paddles on this. So yeah, I think, shout out to IDAR because that was one we played a lot of for a long time.

And what I want to give a shout out that's like similar era that you just have no memory of. And it blows my mind that you don't. It's video ball. Video ball was so much freaking fun. Such a simple game. It was made by. Dave Lang, right? You said.

Tim. Oh, Tim Rogers? Tim Rogers. Yeah. Oh, shit. Okay. And it was awesome. And it was definitely one of those games that like, we use this to settle.

beefs and debates and stuff, but maybe it was more of a me and calling thing. I don't know, but we played the hell out. I vaguely remember this, yeah. When we did this and we launched, there was just the four of us. It was, we did so many different multiplayer things for multiplayer

every day. Every day. Yeah. Yeah, we never quite became the like, I think we had a lot of beef, you know, settling in stuff like Mario Party and stuff and, you know, the meme of everybody annoying Joey and Joey

getting really mad at Nick and stuff. Mario Party, we do have to have a conversation about putting on this thing. Yeah, but when I think of other just kind of fun multiplayer games with party mode stuff, I think of Tower Fall. I think that was also another big one. Maddie makes games

for Celeste developer. We played that forever. Tower Fall being one of the one of the like premier games on Uya. That's right. Like that was That was one of the games where it's like You have a new year you have to get Towerfall

And for those y'all who don't know what Uiyai is Let's tell you a tale I'm getting two Recommendations from one Joey Noel Great recommendations Again leaning more towards the party mode era But like mount your friends 100%

Yeah That's one that I think of Yeah Greg climbing on this is a classic one too Because we went back to this in different eras too like I remember we put Roger's face on this at some point so some kind of in a similar vein one that we go back to and one that is finally getting a sequel uh soon I clicked on the wrong video is one ultimate chicken horse ultimate chicken horse

yeah that is one that we often would go back to just for like normal streams yeah we still play that all the time yeah so this is an interesting one where I think we need to go through super chats obviously and we need to have a real conversation but bless bringing up like like like you You don't think amount your friends for kind of. No, not really, uh? So I think it's interesting if we should have a conversation about, are we trying to do like five and five?

Five games that would define us playing games, five games that define coverage or I don't even know. But you know what I mean? Something like that. It's an open conversation with you, the audience out there. The podcast group and the stream group. Because when I think of like podcast group,

I think Bless Nails it with Cifu, I think. I'll put out Rocket League. I feel like Rocker League was a moment when that came out in 2015. Team Fat too. Team Fat being in there. Such idiots. That's so interesting because Rocket League.

And maybe I'm thinking of like the one episode of PS I love you. Were you guys talking about it? Rocket League was the thing where Rocket League we felt, you're talking about being on the ground floor of something. Yeah. Rocket League was, yeah. Colin went and played it at that E3 and came back on our shows and was like, dude, Dunham's game, that fucking car or soccer thing's awesome.

And then we had Dunham, Jeremy Dunham, of course, the man who gave me my start at IGN. And then Doug Perry, who was running PR, for at the time, came to the spare bedroom. And we played it there. And it was like, I liked it. I was like, what the fuck? Like, I don't know.

Why would I like a rock? And it was like, wait, this game's special. And then like, you know, the PlayStation Plus deal happened. And then it became like, worldwide phenomenon. But it was one of those ground level things we did before it was like, oh shit, hold on. Everybody, nobody knew at the time. Rocket League was cool. On the podcasting side, Shaggy Sasquatch makes a great call.

Not in a positive way, but I think of Marvel's Avengers. KF and especially Greg were the largest voice about that game. Sadly, Similar vein Starfield. I was going to say, if we start going into the podcast games, it's going to get into games. Everyone else hates that Greg doesn't. Friday and 13th came up over there,

and I also think that that is a first ballot. I want to keep going on this, but first, we're going to take a quick word from our sponsor. The wait is over.

That's AuraFrams.com promo code Kind of Funny. Two I want to bring up from the earliest day as possible of kind of funny. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Mario Card 8. Okay.

And I feel like the Smash Wii U stuff, I feel like if we can count a franchise, I'd put Smash on there, just like the overall, even if it's us reacting to all the different character reveals and all that stuff. But I think Mario Card 8 has to be on the list because Mario Card 8 and then 8 Deluxe have been played the entire time of our legacy. Anytime we do streams, Mario Kart's always a go-to. The infamous Ziger Battle. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

The Greg's try to keep up stuff. The hot pepper. The community tournaments that you guys would, like, hold it. Like, I remember playing those when I was still at IGN. Yeah. That's been, it's a big part of the history. The hot pepper gaming stuff was like, that, the reviews were one thing, but like if we were adding into a game, it would have been Mario Card 8.

Didn't we do that? We did. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay. And it fucked me up. Yeah, I'll find that. We did it multiple times. We did it live at. Let's play live Chicago.

That sucked. One all throughout there. Can we watch the end of the Ziger video I just sent through? Uh, Barrett. It's not time code. It's our. Yeah, I'm finding the exact time for it. I just keep fucking up.

Fuck, here's the red shell bullshit. Oh, my God, Greg. Look at that quality. Oh, my God. Solid lead. And he's hit every single one of the speed boost on this track. He's going. The end is in fucking sight.

Shit. Oh, shit. Three red shells. Oh my God, there's three red shells. This is the fucking most upsetting thing ever. Fuck you. That was unbelievable. It's insane that I still did it.

Tiger sucks so bad. We love me, Ziger. I put a hot pepper one in there too. We keep going, sorry. One of the ones all throughout there because live reactions are obviously such a big part of what we do, right? Live reactions, reviews, and the overall just discussion about video games. I think one of the games that shines among all three, those things is God of War 2018.

I think God of War 2018 had such a reaction to it and then you jump forward to like even Greg during the review talking about it being maybe his favorite game of all time kind of thing and how that's... And I think there's like, it also persists as a game that all of us adore, right? None of us are like, oh yeah, whatever, God of War 2018.

I think all of us kind of look at that as like, damn. Yeah, that was a special one. And they, we talked about like trying to recapture the magic and how 2018 is still like a little, it was a little too special for that moment. Yeah. I also think of, like, we've talked about Smash already, but not only just from the gameplay side of it,

but from the reaction and the laptop moment. Totally. Sora with me and Blas. I feel like Smash Ultimate is on the list. For character reveals alone. I mean, like, no other game, are we excited to wake up at 6 a.m. to react to. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Like, it's that and Pokemon. Mike, that's it. And even then, it's like, it's a strategy. Even Pokemon. Is Pokemon Scarlet on the list? No. I don't think so, but I like that.

It got Greg. again. And now he's the number one voices. It's true. I'm the worst of the new generation Pokemon fans here. Thanks. I don't forget. That DLC's coming up in December,

everybody. I'll be excited to cover it. Will Tim? Or does he have to go to Walmas? You know what I mean? LaMas. LaMas. It said it funny.

Oh. I think you just had a bunch of cotton balls in you know. I think if there's any Pokemon game, it's the fire red, whatever version Nick played for the original. Nickel. And this is where it is. So stick with me.

I want to have a conversation. I think you can nebulously get away and say smash brothers. I'm bad. Because it includes Wii and it includes it. But it's like, Smash Brothers has always been a thing around here from everywhere. But like, yeah, Pokemon, I think it gets weird where you'd have to pick one.

I'm with you. That for some reason that makes sense to me. Okay. It's like pornography. You see it, you know. Well, I think a lot of it too is like Smash Wii U and Smash Ultimate. Aren't that different. Yeah. You know, it's the same as Mario Cardi, Marri Carty, I want to go and watch that.

Everything is here trailer again. Hell yeah. It's the greatest thing. Make me feel something real quick. Yeah. Even the first time when we heard that Spash was coming, yeah, we were Splatoon had the fire in the eye, like Jared Petty reacting with us. Like that was crazy.

2018 it ended with. Oh my God. Take me back. What about Breath of Wild? No? I mean, the thing is I don't, I actually don't think we did. I think we did a bad job covering that. game.

I agree. It was a different time, different era. We were so, there was so many, so much less people to talk about things, right? So, like,

and especially even then with like Nintendo codes and then Switch being as fresh and brand new as it was, Colin straight up hated it. Yeah, I'm not going to buy a Switch. Like, oh. Yeah.

So it was like me and I, we had like that conversation after that one flight where I did it. Yeah. Even like, I know it sounds crazy now, but like collaboration still wasn't nearly as easy as it is now. Yeah, like getting an IGN person Or a game spot in the middle of the day to our office

Yeah, no, it was before we were zooming people in left and right Yeah, and like even just the coverage, I think In terms of just switch launch was just really hard In terms of just access and stuff like I remember IGN, the entirety of that company got one code For Breath of the Wild so I think it just in terms of just where Everybody was at so that's crazy I hear Pear still hates it

I'm still mad about it Yeah, it's tough because I feel like the moment we had to the editor side, it's to have the games be like something that defines us. It can't just be the one thing. It can't just be like the review. I mean, Dastro 4 has it, Parasite Eve. See, I was thinking about Parasite. A game we've never played it and we psyched ourselves into wanting a remake so bad.

So, okay, let's start with the editorial list right now, the podcasting editorial side of things. Last of Us, God of War 2018. A lot of that also having to do with like Corey Barlock, spoiler cast and like how great that that was MGS 5. Yeah. MGS 5 I think is a great one because it spans both streaming stuff

where for some reason Konami let us do exclusive streams of that game that have a ton of views and then yeah coverage and then impact and then I'm probably getting... We all love that game. I'm getting weird with it too where I would think that like it stands in for all the other metal gears

which I know is kind of cheating but I think it encompasses the Metal Gear play through. I think a metal gear has to be on the list. Yeah. So I think MGS 5. I think by default it has to be 5 just because of all of that legacy. Yeah. For those of y'all that don't know and weren't watching back then, like Greg Cullen and Tim

and Nick had just left IGN and then formed kind of funny. And then for some reason, Konami and Hideo Kojima were like, do you all want the exclusives on everything? I asked. I just asked. I'm like, yeah, that's cool. Crazy. They were like, insane.

They were like, but would you mind if. your videos also went up on GameSpot. And I was like, no. We don't mind. We won't thousand percent take that deal, please. That's such a wild thing to even think about. I remember the graphics package of those less plays, right? Did you have the Kodak thing going on? We went hard.

Like for me, that was the first, I know those weren't the first less plays. Well, those are the first less plays I remember standing out like that from kind of funny. Yeah. One game that I want to shout out that I feel it gets just a little complicated because it's more franchise. and I also don't feel bad putting the franchise here.

It's Death Stranding because the streams, the treadmill streams and all that stuff, like the effort that Roger put in. But then the song. I feel like that's the thing too. You guys going to Japan and gifting Kojima, all that stuff. Like I feel like Death Stranding. All. Yeah, exactly.

There's so much there that I feel like Death Stranding has to make the list. It gets weird because it's one, two, whatever. I think two is the one. I mean, two is the thing that I think encompasses most of that stuff. and even them playing the first Death Training wasn't that, that was leading into two. Yeah, yeah, that was all part of the ramp up to it. Yeah.

That's a good point. I toss that metal gear. But I mean, to give some credit to one as well, I feel like... This is what you're talking about, right? Yeah, this is what I'm talking about. Death Rating 1... God, we're awesome.

The comments hated us so much because I used Night Vision the entire time. Because they were very much like, show the game, and I'm like, no, I'm playing the game. Not to mention, I filmed it weeks before. There was nothing I could do, but... Correct me if I'm wrong, Death Rending 1 was the review that kind of kickstarted

kind of funny is I guess current idea of reviews where it is all right we got a whole panel of people that have played this game we're gonna talk about it together was it I remember death training being like a big shift in how you guys did that okay because it led to a really fascinating conversation being able to have four people that actually played the video game

well we always wanted to like that it was never just did we have access did we have enough people that were playing and wanted to talk about it right I think that's the difference is around that time we had enough editorial voices to be able to actually make it happen because like before then it really was just

I was the only one even interested in playing Nintendo games for the most part, right? And then I feel like PlayStation games, if there was that big, first-party title, then we would have discussions like that. It's just those were rarer at the time. Yeah, for sure, for sure. Xbox wasn't really doing anything. They're putting out recor. That's true.

That's sure they did. Good game, man. What super chats do we have? Do we have a good suggestion there? We got a ton of super chats. Yeah. So Cravy Patty says, Ultimate Chicken Horse, got that there. Dave Bro says Andy going into his asshole gamer era

Sick Oh yeah Yeah we'll see that on the stream later Send Nungi says where are we putting Sinitou Nurtle And I feel like that definitely like belongs there That's in the game showdown The Lightning Reaction list If that's a separate list

Because that has taken over the hearts and minds Of this company in a way that I don't think anyone at this desk Understands I don't even know what this game is I have a vague concept Andy Yeah Like I don't know what it looks like It's a, it's, it's, uh, it's, uh, six degrees of Kevin Bacon sort of thing. Mm.

You just like, you name a movie and you, you know, if the actor's so and so, then you name a movie that another actor is in that act movie with. Like, yeah. It's just kind of like linked movies together. They're playing against somebody online. So it is, all right, they say Robert Downey Jr. And then you have to say, forget if it's the movie. Well, no, it's, it used, they start with a movie.

Yeah. Like they, or like, the game will start, we'll, we'll start with like a newer movie or something. and then whoever goes first has to name another movie that's related in terms of director actor, like just somebody who worked on it. And then it's you guys going back and forth just can you name another movie

that's linked to the last movie? You can't repeat the same actor or the same person three times. Yeah. And it ends up being just like who can name an 80s French film or something. Yeah. And so yeah, Roger, Nick and Joey

both on stream but especially off stream or just playing this non-stop. It's endless. Nick walking around the fucking football Fucking football Andy where's the football where'd you put it I know you know you're hiding it We got it oh overcooked is such a good call out

From kebob Overecooked is great yeah shit That's a great call out Harrison says grateful for the KF crew Keeping me sane every day truly feels like a family Thank you so much This is a fun episode I saw someone in the chat saying This is a great one to like learn the history

Of kind of funny if you if you are newer here Corey Peach who says the easiest answer would be the Mario 3D world streams. They were peak. Greg, you just missed out. Was it the Ben time? No, no, no, no. No, no.

No, no. It was COVID, right? Ben was COVID. I mean, I'm in the same boat as Greg. I guess he was, yeah. I guess it's, it's not, it's just, it's like anything else at this office where, for the most part, if you're not on the content, you don't hear about the content.

So it's not, I just didn't realize it resonated this much to where people are like, this is, this is, this is, I love these kind of conversations to hear what the audience thinks, because it is that thing of like, oh, oh, yeah, I never would have thought about that. I knew it was people liked it, but I don't... And it's not one of the things where we were in a studio and you could hear yelling and the excitement. We were just offline. Like, you guys weren't in the calls. Like reviewing a game where I'm recording PSLW. Yeah, yeah. But those were, yeah, the... I'm excited to see those get played on the Twitch stream

during the Thanksgiving break. Khab says Pokemon Emerald for the Nicklock. Oh, that's fire red, but we'll let that slide. Yeah. Voxy Steve says when I think KF, I think war is on with the Jibroni boys. and then loyal freak says recent kf i'm honestly thinking death's writing one or two those marathon streams became instant classics definitely um melodic quest is great being obsessed with life of strange one is what got me to try it at a uh at a time when i've never played narrative based games life of strange is one of my all-time favorite game that's so funny because i was about to bring up life is strange i don't think it makes the list but i think that's one where honorable mention it's

definitely an honorable mention of a thing that whenever a new life of strange game would come out ps i love you would kind of light up as far as the conversation goes especially mean you and january You view, Janet, yeah. I have a weird one that is one of those probably like an outside looking in. But I think of a game that awakened something in some of us. It's better know. And turned on people to new things. I like this.

And we even had a fucking podcast about it. Bloodborn. Bloodborn has to be on the list. We had a podcast just about Bloodborn with me blessing Brian Altano and Greg Miller during the pandemic. like because it was Greg's first time playing it and it was the first my first souls games I think blessings for my first soul's game and sort of this communal thing

of all of us kind of slowly awakening and going like oh shit these actually are the best games of all time and iconic iconic kind of funny less place like when we're talking about the first month of kind of funny like you're right Colin making Galvatron and the the Arnhem Nugs and all that stuff like that was like some of the earliest like

KF memes that there were right And then thinking back to Greg streaming that on one of the kind of funny streams. Maybe it was an extra life, I forget. Tam coming in to help. Yeah. And then that just sort of turning into, you know, what. Souls mania. Yeah, Soulsmania.

Immediately playing Sekiro after that. Andy playing Dark Souls. Yeah, just turning me onto a completely different genre. Because prior to that, like, for people that, you know, have just started listening recently, I was obviously a part of the community as a fan for way before I joined and every comment in every big podcast was why the fuck don't these guys play souls games?

Why aren't they playing Dark Souls? Why aren't they playing? And it was like the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Ratched up to a million for all of those years of like, man, they're still not playing this? Oh, come on. This list is like not valid it.

They don't have Dark Souls 3 in there or, you know, demons or whatever the hell. So it's like, There was a big turning point with Bloodbourne and kind of how a lot of us view games and review games. And like it's not even just the, oh, we, afterwards we played Dark Souls and Eldon Ring and all that stuff. I think afterward it just changed how we played action games in general. We're like, we're playing Stellar Blade. We're playing Liza P.

We're playing like the amount of games that we cover on that side of action now has expanded so much. And that is because of Bloodborn. Yeah. Yeah, I like it. Good video again. Very good video. Zan Fares says, Eldon Ring, Smash Brothers, Mario 3D, World Mario Party for streams.

Last of Us God of Ward. Spider-Man for Spoiler cast, Seafood for KF's hype for it. I like, there's a lot there that I think is really, really good. Spider-Man, I think is an interesting one to bring up, right? Shirtless Spider-Man. Yeah, like the shirtless Spider-Man. Very important. But also, that is a game that I do feel like we covered well.

That we did like really like have a plan and like, we went all out. The spoiler cast with Brian Intahar. Like, yeah, we really like kicked that game's ass. You know? Spider-Man 1 or 2? Two. Again, I think putting one in there includes the second one, which I know is cheating. I feel like shirtless Spider-Man supersedes all of it.

Like the lead into Spider-Man 1. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I remember that vividly of like, I... Yeah, we didn't do much for for Spider-Man and shirtless Miles Morales, except for like that one photo shoot. Yeah. And that's still got him in Spider-Man. But when I think about Spider-Man one, I think about every K-FD where Greg would,

or Sirle of Spider-Man would come through. Yeah, that was a saga for sure. Yeah, I do like that. That's tough. I do like that. There's just a lot of games. We're going through the Super Chats. we're listening. I'm bolding the ones we're all like, oh, yeah, yeah. Make you a bold, seafood. Uh, furry B says

the MGS streams connected me with y'all. Kept me alive during the Ponderosa. Thanks for sub and your furry bastard. Thank you very much. Very bastard. Saul says Nick Locke, specifically the first run. Kabob says one day lightning reacts will fry some equipment.

I really hope not. MC Platipus says the 2021 game the year list does not lie. The KF crew loves Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart. We do. Yeah. Good ass fucking game, dude. Oh, AK.9 98 says W.W.E2K

and KFW. That is a good call. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like that's just so personal to Greg and even the KFW stuff. KFW never did what I thought it was going to do. I really thought like, we're going to do this and we're going to bring in so many people to watch it.

It would be doing game showdown numbers and it did not ever do game showdown numbers. Like, oh, okay. You know, a very soft spot for sure. I love that fucking thing. A lot of Pierce unbeatable. Somebody says, surprised no mention of Sonic. I feel like if I was here during Sonic mania time,

then it'd be such a lock. But I don't think there's been a Sonic that's come out where both me and Tim are like fucking all about at the same time. You were super into frontiers and I wasn't. Yeah. I really like Sonic Rangers. I feel like me you and Raj like there was a moment, but I don't think that it like, I was more like ethereal about Sonic than it was about one specific. Exactly. Like I think the Sonic thing that being you and Roger are like all into agreeably is the movie. Yeah. But it's not a movie list. One OLLI that I want to shout out,

Knockout City. Oh. To take over our lives during the work from home era. I love that game. And that was like, that was a really fun multiplayer game that got us all together, even those of us who like, weren't really part of like the Gibroni boys playing multiplayer.

Yeah, 100%. That's a great call. That's a great call. Cameron Kennedy says death stranding two and Spider-Man are definitive to me. Dashro Forces Paraside Eve, which is great. Loyal Freaks says Redfall. It got Phil Spencer on Xcast. I feel like that's got to go on the editorial side.

No, but I appreciate it. Yeah, I do. What a moment that was. I forget that I didn't get him on, right? Weren't we going to do it anyway? Yeah, he didn't cancel. Yeah, yeah, he didn't cancel. We were all like, oh, he's probably going to canceling.

But like Redfall did, I think, amplify that interview. Oh, no, I got it. It got the eyes on it for sure. That's why I try to book Phil Spence every week. It's just in case he fuck something up. Co-op 64 says Mario Party, Mario Cray dates, Alex and Starfield. Bitts Patel says, as the D&D with critical role and Nick's one shot.

I like that, but again, I, it's funny sitting here like what games, what non-video games define it, you know what? Yeah. I get so many like, y'all need to do another D&D and I'm like, I went to fucking talk to Nick Scarpino, okay? I'm trying to learn how to DM so I can make it happen.

I'm tired of Nick just sitting there. Oh, God, do something, Nick. Do a D&D thing again. Dewey says, can we add Mike's adventure in Kingdom Hearts? No. I mean, if anything, I'd do Final Fantasy 10 because Mike's journey with Final Fantasy 10, it's one of those things of like, if y'all don't know, you need to watch that content. He, I've never seen a man fall in love with anything, video game or otherwise more than the way that he talks about this game that I also love purely.

But it's like seeing him, that it might be the most special game play through stream in the history of mankind. Mike playing Final Fantasy 10. And I'm not exaggerating or being hyperbolic at all. was all in. And it's one of those things Mike's not gonna fucking like this game. And he loved it. Yeah, you never know what he's gonna like.

And that's why I know if he gives it an actual shot, he will love Expedition 33. I know. He says he is. This break. And Beaches says, Last of Us too,

because the reaction review and spoiler cast. Yeah, I agree. Dean says, speaking of Awakening, Mike's Final Fantasy 7 remake, lore breakdowns, and Kingdom Heart Stream

are some of my favorites. broken roses says ding dong xl i remember that we loved that um i got to we got to find uh for this playlist one or two standout episodes maybe i'll talk to mike

and maybe we'll get questions from chat but like for this Thanksgiving playlist figure out what the standout elden ring co-op playthrus uh episodes should be maybe the pink gate that was you know there was a big moment where

we didn't know who was putting Ping's on the map. There was a big argument ensued. A lot of yelling. See, I wouldn't even put it, like, to me, it's the stream where blessing, we all realize blessings fear of hands. Like that early. He was drunk when he shugged that

thing of bourbon or? No, that was... Oh, spiders. Yeah, that was Resident Evil, yeah. No, him being drunk was Resident Evil. We're talking about a normal Eldon Ring. Yeah, it was just like a normal day stream. And, like, to me, that's the first stream I think of for Eldon Ring. Crete says the final Eldon Ring stream when Mike dressed like Anthony Fantano

He was trying things He was trying stuff Circle glasses Where other people Fucked will bucks next The way we were fucking with bucks next I don't even know if all of us were fucking next Yeah

That might have been being great Yeah yeah I think it was just this I don't think it had to that movement no Sky says I've got no game Sabre just want to say happy Thanksgiving to the crew Hope y'all have a great holiday Thanks so much Sky

And Grimm says thanks for all the content guys All right so I feel like we can start to lock this in. We have a comprehensive list here of games. Yeah, yeah. So right now, yeah, we had put in Nidhawk 2 and Emily's away as locks. Then ones we've bolded that we've been all about, or I bolded. Bloodbored.

Metal year solid five. Deaths draining 2. The last of us. God of War 2018. Spider-Man. Sony's first party. Yeah. Exactly.

That's true, though. Seifu is the one that blessed called out to be there. See, who's got to be there. Yeah, I think so then I think it's like those are ones we've, we bolded. And then it might even be easier to go through and start eliminating. Starfield has to be there. I feel like that's such a Greg specific one though. But like that just took over so much of our.

We did do it however long stream. Not that I'm fighting for it. Oh, yeah, I guess we did. It's like this is the thing where especially I'll stand out of the argument because like, I don't know, in an audience you can chime in or whatever. Like I think there's the argument to be made because of the gigantic stream. Then I think obviously I'm the only. only person in the industry who likes Starfield.

And then, like, for me personally, you know, coming up on 19 years doing this, like, the Starfield, one man, spoiler cast is my favorite thing I've ever done. Like, any article, any video. Like, I just am so proud of that and the narrative and the conversation. Like, that would be. But again, this isn't the games that define Greg Miller of things. I'm just putting up there. I thought you were to say, coming up on my 19th playthrough.

I'm still looking for Andrea. I talked about this in Greg way. I got to go see or they, I had a. I had a meeting with Betheson a bunch of other people, like other creators where they showed us what they're working on for the future. And that's all I'm allowed to say, but I'm a future of Starfield.

Oh, I'm allowed to say that. I'm allowed to say that. I just met the future. Let's talk about Elder Scrolls. Are you like Starfield? Stop talking about Starfield. Let's look at this. But anyways, I think then let's start working through the list

we have now in either like Axum or think about him or whatever. Pico Park, I say he's got to go. Well, I mean, I think even the ones that we, that you bolded already, like we got to be a little bit more critical. I agree, but I think we can, I feel like those are all the editorial picks. We got to bold the gameplay.

I think we cut God of War. When I look at this list, I don't think that God of War is. I would cut Last of Us before God of War because I associate God of War and y'all's coverage of God of War and how much that meant to y'all in terms of like kind of funny as a company rather than Last of Us, which had come out a couple years before Kind of Funny even started. The Last of Us, too, the last of us show. Like I feel like How many times

Has Last of Us been in a headline for us? Like probably more than anything else. How many times did Before I joined the company Were you all using the same image Of Cratos for thumbnails? I mean, that was every out like that That was every thumbnail

People loved them They couldn't get enough I mean I can see I can see Maybe even both getting cut There's no way we cut last of us Like that I think the last of us is like the most obvious editorial thing.

To me, that's MGS 5 as editorial almost. I think we cut out of war then. I just think of how important that Corey Barlogue spoiler cast was. That was, I feel like the first time we did something like that as, I guess, as like whatever this modern team is, you know. I mean, should we bold other things and see what we would. That's what I would say. I think this is first pass.

We can come back to this argument and see how untenable this. list is yeah go because the move on you i would say pico park doesn't make it i agree super mary 3d world i would say doesn't make it because right underneath it's war zone i think war zone has to make it i think war zone has to make it and i'm you right now for make it i'm i'm gonna put it into bold the bold category but i'll tell you right now i'm gonna i think that that and the shirbroni boys like that's such a defining thing i think 3d world there's a conversation does anybody want to fight for pico park no not i'm just gonna delete it then guitar by chance asks for a want to hear Cole's thoughts.

He's been asleep this entire dropping fart bombs. He's fun. Lightning reaction I love on this list. I think it should be on this list. Honestly. Conversations begun of like, oh, a list that is in games.

Well, I mean, it is a game. I think lightning reaction undeniably is on the list. Compared to so many of these things, it's lighting reaction. I concur.

I think this list could maybe follow a trend that's been happening with kind of funny recently in recent times where instead of 10, we pick 15. We are doing that now that is. Don't.

We are doing that now that is. If you wanted to make that motion, you should have made it four months ago. We're putting 12 on the list. No. You changed the headline to 15. 13, 15. I mean... I submitted top 125 games.

Nice. Nice. I would, I mean, I vote for keeping it to video games just because I think we're already in a place where it's tough to... Yeah. We'll put it on the bold list, but I won't bold it. And we'll come back to it. Because I think, again, as we start making harder choices, it's going to be hard. But I would, yeah, connect three and five in game showdown, I would eliminate.

Me too. Yeah. There were nice conversations. Eldon Ring. I would, actually over that, huh? That's crazy. Yeah. It works so hard.

100%. Uh, sports match and I would, I would kill. Yeah. Killer Queen, I would kill. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mario Party, I would leave for now. Eldon Ring, I would kill, but I think that's a known one.

I would kill. I mean, we had blood borne there. My fingers off the pulse. Yeah, we have bloodborne there. I think we kill Alderring. But that, but I will say, like, just. being, you know, having a gigantic game and being told by your boss is like, all right, you don't got to be on content for these four or five days.

Just play the fuck out of this game. Yeah. It was just like the best time. Let me tell you about tears of the kingdom. Greatest two weeks of my life. I want to go back. Towerfall again is a great poll and an honor roll mention one that I think of a lot, but I think. It's a good OLA, yeah.

Outside looking in right there. I feel like a lot of these games like Mount Your Friends Ultimate Chicken Horse are kind of represented by that Nidhog, too. yeah oh shit Mario tennis ace his birth I mean well that didn't birth Johnny Ace but that's where he found his footing you know not your friends I would drop

chicken horse I would leave on the short list but I'm wasting time I know it won't cut it I agree with Nidhog being the one yeah I'm there too Friday the 13th I would go to the mat for again my favorite streams my favorite let's plays my obsession with that game that did infect content but it was like we did so much around Friday the

13th and it was so fucking fun to be Jason. It's funny because to me I put Friday the 13th in the WWE category of just like, this is a, Greg loves this thing. Yeah. That I don't know that it ever got to the point that anyone else loved it nearly as much. But I did force you all the point. But I do think that one

of the uh, what's the word that I'm blanking on right now? asymmetrical. Aisimetrical. Oh, predator hunting. One of the asymmetrical games like, yes. Like for sure. That is I think a kind of funny staple. Do you go, and Predator is right

underneath Friday the 13th, we did mention, do you go Predator over? I'd go Predator. Because the time of who the cast was, right? Who was doing the Friday 13th was literally what bodies could people even, like Andrea was there, dude? Like, it's just like who's in the room, you know? Was like, Predator, I feel like there was a lot more buy-in.

And then like that's-standing on the fucking ground is Brad. And that was also the saga of like Al, Al, the Predator tribesman, like, action. Like he'd been like a character through KFAF almost because he was someone who'd regularly write in. But then that game became this whole like story with all of you and having this regular cast. Yeah, I could see Predator. All right.

For short list, I'll leave Predator. Then yeah, Starfield Marvel's Avengers. You're in the same ballpark of these are Greg obsessing. I'd go Starfield over Avengers, I think, in terms of. I would too. I mean, you all had to hear me talk about Avengers a lot. But even in the grand scheme. team of things i think it was maybe not as much we think it was we can leave starfield there

mario card eight has to be there mario card eight um smash bros i think you're in the same boat of i would leave them on the short list i don't know how they do sin too nerdal i would kill yeah yeah too overcooked is on here i would kill it as well yeah i mean we love overcooked and we've played a lot of it we make joel real mad with it life is strange knockout city great callouts but kill him yeah yeah all right so what does this leave us with how many is that That. 17. We have 17 games.

We need to cut seven of them. This dog's at four. It's tough, man. This dog does not understand that someone is doing something back there behind the curtain. Ignore the man behind the curtain. I told you it was kept. I mean, the top 10 we have here. Because we have in the top 10 right now, we have Nidhog 2, Emily is Away, Bloodborne, MGS 5, Death Raining 2, Laseless, God of War,

2018, Spider-Man, Sifu, and Cod Warzone. I think it... I still think we can get rid of God of War and bring in something else. Looking at our most popular videos of all time, not that this is necessarily and all be all, but it is interesting because, obviously, at number one, we have Qatar Hero Life.

But number two, we have Last of Us 2, spoiler cast, and there's a pretty definitive drop-off after that view. wise like we go from almost a million down to like under half a million um but we get into metal or solid five uh phantom pain there's a couple of them in the top 10 videos phil spencer's interview for redfall but god of war spoiler cast right behind that um and then yeah there's surprising amount of horizon stuff here we didn't bring up horizon i feel like that's no we didn't it no You don't act like y'all hated that game.

Y'all, we all love Horizon. We can't turn on it because it's the popular thing to do. I just had such a bad taste on my mouth at the end of the second game. That's fair. Such a bad taste in my mouth. And then I played the fucking VR game. It was a worst taste. Jesus.

Where do you play this? He got real mad. What do you play this mobile one? Blessing, I've always been a Horizon hater. So, you know, I'll, I'll, I'll, at least somebody here is honest. Do it, does seafood hang? That's what I'm thinking. because like I feel like right now that top 10 is so weighted heavily to the like coverage

coverage side I don't feel like we have enough of the Mario party Mario Kart 8 yeah the thing about seafood though is like I do think that it's it is a unique to us we loved it and it was editorially covered by us but then also there was the race stream which was like very creative and awesome and we all put our all in and like that is a very uniquely kind of funny thing like I I don't think anybody, I don't think any other outlet could have done a four-person seafood race. Yeah, yeah. Beat the game. And present it the way we did at the time.

Yeah. That was, shout to Kev. That was crazy. That was crazy. That was crazy technologically. I feel like out of the bottom seven we have here, I feel like Mario 3D World has to be there. If I'm picking one. I would go party or cart eight over 3D world.

I would cut party. I feel like party is. punchline. It's something we do, but it's not who we are. Right. That's fair. I agree with that, so let's cut party. Yeah, I'd have my soul. And I would go

I would go Mario Card 8 over World. But again, I think, I'm giving up the week. I didn't watch the streams, but I've seen the glow in their eyes. Like, they would come into the meetings, because the meeting is talking about like, man, that Mario 3D World Stream, like, it seemed like

it seemed like such a great time that I feel like it has to be on the list. It's a weird thing where that the 3D world stream is, I think, some of the best content we've ever made. And it's so good, but it was just that one thing. You know, like, we could never recap. Chat is very about it. World over Card.

I think World stays. 3D World was so special. Yeah. It's just Cart, I feel like, had more iconic moments with us throughout time. But I also think our list is pretty heavily weighted towards those early days at this point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think as we look at this list personally, I would, say you can kill Starfield, you can kill Smash Brothers.

We're having such, we're having such detailed conversations or smash the dunce. I can't imagine cutting smash. Cutting Smash is tough. Well, I just did it. Because of the reactions. I guess the thing is I feel like it has to be there. Yeah, smash has to be there. The reactions are just too strong for it.

You should play it more. I think you cut lighting reaction. It's the only non-video game. I'm down for that. Yeah. Start making space for time. Yeah. So this is 14 here.

Yeah. God, this gets really hard. I feel like, Last of us God of War and Spider-Man is egregious. It's kind of egregious. I agree. Just call it Sony for a party. I'm saying cut God-of-war.

They all do the same thing, or not the same thing, but they all do very similar things as far as what they mean to kind of funny. I'm okay with cutting God of War. I'm also okay with Cutting God of War. Have we thought about Death Stranding, too? I think Death Stranding has to be there. I think it has to be there. I think that the Roger- More of their IRA, or not IRL, but like them being in that room content. more so the game

itself. Dude, but Caroline Polichick. Yeah. That's so huge. And the treadmill street. I feel like there's just like there's a lot there that just... Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Mike got, his body got loose. He doesn't like... Because even if it is the story bearer, it's one of the

best stories of all time. Like the combination of the Carolyn Polichick and Snowmike Mike goes big. Like, come on, man. That's fair. Oh, this is so tough, though. It's like Predator has to go. I don't know, I think Predators, like, I think it's very core to who we are.

Is that more core than, oh, is World Gone? Yes. No, sorry. Oh, okay, it's right there. I feel like World is more, I feel like, looking at the streaming gameplay games, I feel like Predator is last on the list, right?

Because Warzone is for sure on there. I feel like World is for sure on there. As a member of the voting public, you know, just whatever. I think personally what I would do is cut, seafood, cart, and smash brothers. And then you have that 10 there. And I could even see, I could even see cutting the Last of Us.

I would cut the Last of Us. I would cut The Last of Us only because I feel like Spider-Man does the same thing Last of Us is doing, but they're in the fucking video game. Yeah. And that's crazy. Yeah. And you mentioning Tim that, like,

Mariparty is a thing we do. Like, I know that like Last of Us massive views for us, but like I still don't necessarily think of us as like, yeah, the last, I don't know. I could not disagree more. I feel like people didn't like season two. So everyone's a little like, uh, about last. Oh, the TV show. Yeah.

I like season. It's not even that. Like, I just, I don't know. Personally, I don't think of the last of us when I think of kind of funny as a group. I think of these other games, like I, if we're talking about the other PlayStation games, I think more about Spider-Man, uh, bloodborne, Metal Gear, solid five. I know that's a bit more. I think last ones are kind of funny.

than even Milliger Solid 5. Me too. But I think Meliger Solid 5 is just more foundational to what the company is done. But like when I think kind of, if you were to ask me, what's a game that kind of funny loves? I would say last was. Yeah. Okay.

That's true. I could see it would hurt, but I could see Seafood going. Remember when Nick and I streamed last of us and you got a song up on the beans. Every got some bad. Like do we start looking at these and going which of these are more particular to like fewer members? Yeah. Like should we start looking at things of like, okay, everybody was in on this thing and then keep

those things because I feel like seafood might have been more of a me to em bear it. Well, Andy loves seafood as well, right? I love seafood as well. Again, it was number three on that list that year. Yeah, it was number three. I mean, well, you mentioning that, but I'm looking at Bloodborn.

I would keep Bloodborn because even though it's like you two, like you three or whatever, but I think what that meant for kind of funny going forward in terms of what we fuck with in terms of video games. My one argument against Bloodbourne is that

what I think Bloodbourne, I think of Tam. You know, I don't think of our guys. It's more of like an... I think of Andy. I think of Andy. I mean, I think of him. Well, every review thinking, or every state of play is like Bloodborne Remaster, but, you know, like, that has like staining power,

but to me, I think Bloodbore is so foundational, but if we were to go with a Souls game, it would be Eldon Ring. I think if you remove BloodBorn from the kind of funny timeline our gameplay coverage looks completely different Yeah I agree with that But I don't know that BloodBorn defines us I guess if I'm going by the

I think I mean I'll just a shout out I may get a spot going like I I think of Friday 13th So if Predator is on this list And you got we're not feeling I think we're getting down to hard choices here Predator was great stream I think Friday 13th were better streams.

But I mean like, if I can confess something, I hated me on those Predator streams. I didn't, I wanted to leave. I didn't have the heart to say that I didn't want to play Predator. I still knew what the company.

With both of those, I don't know if either of those hang with 3D World cart or Smash Bros. No, I'm not saying put Friday 13th, then I'm saying cut Predator. Yeah. I'm just saying that's, we got to start making some stuff.

Yeah, I see what you just say. I got some frozen. pizza out there, I want to eat before this goddamn our greater stream. I'm not going to fight for Predator, so I was like, whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We need to cut two more. I'll say something controversial. Oh, shoot. Does Emily is away hang? I was right there

with you. When we look at this list, I feel like Nidhog is that early, let's play, whatever. Emily's Way are super special. Yeah. And they are a great definition of how weird and goofy we get on streams and drunk. Hifee stupid, but you know. Never say that again.

Damn. Please. Every time, Greg. it does something internally to me that I can't get back. It's permanent damage. Too tall over here. Again, I know that we have to... I'm sure we know L. I hated that. We have to make a list of 10.

But like, I feel like Emily is away is just too... Chat's with you. Chat's with you. It seems like they're still in it. You cut Nidhog? I'm okay with cutting M. No. Nidhog.

A nidhog was so, I think... No, I refuse. Nidhog has been such a constant of us constantly. if if nidhawk had stopped the way idar did or tower fall did or whatever like the games we played back in the day that we really thought oh even super sports match and right but like that is one we played of the studio opening yeah yeah yeah like that's crazy that it lasted that long yeah no no you can't get rid of that i'd think about the last of us i'd cut emily's away i'm not against it but again i think it's still i think emily's away goes in the same line as like a lot of other really awesome stream So let's have this conversation then. Let's go back to Mario Card 8. We love Mario Kart. Mario Kart, and Tim are fucking gods at Mario Kart.

Like, we played a lot of Mario Kart, but I don't, and like this Ziger Clip, sure, but I don't remember. It's like Mario Party. It's something we do. It doesn't. I think that's different. I think Mario Kart is different, mainly because, like, the early days of those let's plays of how often we would go back and like how big a deal. Again, the hot pepper stuff and all that, but I'm willing to cut it.

a little bit of an in-between between Mario Party and Smash Bros. Like I would keep Smash... Like, I would cut cart before Smash Bros. Yeah. Yeah, I think Smash Bros.

spans the other facets of the company where I'm down for that. Gameplay plus reactions plus coverage and talking about it. So let's cut cart which seems crazy. Yeah.

Now you've got to get one out of here. Yeah. I'd cut Seafood. I was gonna say, is it seafood? I would cut Seafood, yeah. That hurts.

It hurts, but I think... It's hard for me to look at any of the other ones. I just, uh, I would cut Emily's away before Cifu. Because I also think Emily is away,

uh, is joining a lot of other stuff in like, older classic kind of funny. I, Cameron Kennedy is threatening violence. If you cut Emily as a way, people will burn the studio over. Like I would cut Cifu.

He knows where the studio is. Personally, still a goat. Let's play. Emily's away. Yeah. Looking at this list of like, now that we're so close.

I want this list to be something that we're proud of, right? But when we post this online, that it does say something, we're like, yeah, I stand by that. And with that, I want to keep Emily as a way and Sifu. And I'm saying this, I'm willing to lose 3D world. I don't think that's a move. I don't think that's a move. I would say 3D world does feel like a moment in time with like a small group of people within kind of funny. Yeah.

Similar to a predator. But similar to Sifu as well. Yeah. All right, the chat's saying cut Cifu. Put it on the pole. Remind me why Spider-Man, I guess we're in the game, that's why. And the spoiler cast.

The coverage. Breakdowns. That was like one of my, I think Spider-Man was like one of the first things I went to go cover. I say cut C-Fu, yeah. I'm with the chat on this one. Again, C-Fu, I think we all liked in the,

when I think of C-Fu and I think of the head-to-head stream, y'all did. That was very technically impressive and cool. If we cut C-Fu, that's cut 3D world and bring back Mario Kart. That's the last thing I'll input there. All right. I'm gonna say I've been defending Last of Us to my dying breath,

and I still do, but I'd cut Last of Us before Seifu. Really? Ooh, I don't know about that. We've done so much coverage of it. What if we rename the title of this to games that define kind of funny brought to you by Seifu? We put it in the graphic, put it in like the Texan. There is a poll up.

what is the poll? I can't see. It's going to be what do we cut? And it's going to be what, Sifu or World? Is that the combo?

That was when he said, hey, do the poll, that's what we said. Yeah, seafood, what do we cut? Cfu or world?

Cifu is 75% right now. It's number three. It was number three on our list that year. Oh, what a good game? Not a bad,

but yeah, but yeah, what was number one? What was number one? What was number one? What was number one? God of War Ragnarok. Is that on the list?

Did it on the list? say you go. Cut Cifu. Damn. And the deal is done. And then let's replace 3D World with Cart. No.

I like 3D World there better. I just like that game. I think Ratchet and Clank Rift the Par is better than God of Warragnaut. I hate you. Let us know with the comments. Well, no, we got to read through it right quick. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What do you think about our list, which is number one, Nidhog 2. Number two, Emily is away. three, blood-borne, four, Metal Gear Solid, five, five, Death Stranding, two, six, the Last of Us, seven, Spider-Man, eight, Cod, Warzone, nine, Super Mario 3D World, and 10 Super Smash Brothers. Let us know what we missed, what you agree with, what you disagree with, all of that, and play seafood.

That's the most important takeaway of all of this. Until next time, I love you all. Remember that third level? Happy Thanksgiving. See you in the stream. We're going to be bad.
