Today, we're doing some good old-fashioned trivia
and playing Name That Racing Game.
Get ready for Game Showdown.
Yo, what's up?
Welcome to Game Showdown.
I'm your host Blessing, Adia Jr.
And I'm joined by three contestants,
representing three teams.
We got Tim Getty's representing
Team Orange. Oh, yeah.
We have Snow Bike Mike
representing Team Purple.
Hello, Bless. I'd like to apologize
to the audience right now. There will be no jokes
from me today. I am laser focused
on getting a win. And we have
Greg Miller. I'm not laser
focused. I've been thinking a lot about Primus.
Representing Team Blue.
The Primus?
Yeah. My name is mud.
They work. They work.
They work those bass pedals, you know?
All right.
Of course, we're starting off with the trivia question worth 10 points and the chance to start off strong.
Buzz in to answer.
This is a list countdown.
I'm going to list entries in a top 10 list from 10 to 1.
It is your job to buzz in and guess what the top 10 topic is.
You can buzz in once per entry.
Contestants, are you ready?

Good job, bud.
The top 10 games, I'm going to give it to you,
the top 10 games of 2017.
This was GameSpots list
from their game of the year list.
The top three, which would have crystallized it for you guys,
I'm sure. Number three, you would have had Super Mario Odyssey,
number two, persona five, and a number one,
Zelda, Breath of the Wild.
That is 10 points to Tim as we begin our game of Game Showdown.

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.
You can buzz in once per round if you give the correct answer that is 10 points.
Contestants, are you ready?
Yeah!
Round one.
Team Fortress 2 is the famous multiplayer shooter developed by Valve.
The game has five core modes.
Attack and defend.
control points,
King of the Hill,
payload,
and which other core mode?
Mike.
Team death match.
Team death match is incorrect.
Greg.
Death match.
Death match.
Death match is incorrect.
Tim.
Capture the flag.
Capture the flag is the correct answer.
That is 10 more points for Tim Getties.
As we move on to round number two.
Speaking of 2000s class-based shooters,
Star Wars Battlefront was beloved on PS2
for its competitive gameplay
within the Star Wars universe.
What was the name of the turn-based mode
allowing players...
Greg? Galactic Frontier.
That is incorrect.
Tim.
Galactic Conquest.
No, no, no, no, no.
That's shenanigan.
There will be a replay on the Twitch chat
that saw my buzzer go in.
And they didn't.
I'll remember that, Roger.
Michael will remember that.
Mike will remember that.
You need to see a friendship torn asunder like this.
Unbelievable.
But as always Roger in Big Tim's pocket.
Round number three.
We got a messy mashup for you.
I'm going to read to you a clue,
which would be the description of the game.
The answer will be the name of two games
mashed up together.
For example, I might say in this game,
sneak through top-down corridors
while defending the earth from alien invasion.
The answer will be Metal Gear's of War.
intestines, are you ready?
Yeah!
Gunslinging in a galaxy
far, far away
has never been in an open world
or sorry, let me say this again.
Gunslinging in a galaxy far, far away
has never been in a world as open
as this one.
No matter the galaxy, though,
the rules of gravity,
Tim.
Star Wars out lawbreakers.
Damn.
That is the correct.
I was waiting for outlast.
Did you even,
so did you hear the gravity?
Just knew to law.
Like, I already had it even before then.
Wow.
Wow.
That was impressive.
Holy.
I wasn't expecting any of y'all to remember Lawbreakers.
That's crazy.
The full clue for those who we want to know, right?
I would have said, no matter of the galaxy, though, the rules of gravity are meant to be broken.
Step into this first person, 5E5 arena shooter from the mind of an epic cover shooter.
Leaning towards gears.
That was 10 more points for Tim.
Who's on fire this episode so far?
Round four.
The Tony Hawk franchise is known for its secret.
secret characters and Tony Hawk's
underground unlockable characters include
Gene Simmons of Kiss, a swamp
creature called Thud, and
which Marvel, Tim.
Iron Man. Iron Man is the correct
answer. You know, I try to
build a variety of questions in here.
I didn't think Tim would get the fucking
team fortress question.
Round number five.
PlayStation game, Sly 3,
opens in
Medias Ress. One year
after the events of Sly 2 Band of
thieves. What is the definition of the classical literary term in media's res?
Tim?
In the middle of the action.
Can you explain that further?
In the middle of the action is what you said.
What do you mean?
The room where it happens?
This is one of those questions where I need more context.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know how much more I'm going to be able to give you there from being real.
So we can move on.
Mike's ready to go, Roger.
How about you stay out of his way, Roger?
Get out of his pocket, Roger.
I'm going to not give it to you.
All right, reset the buzzers.
Mike or Greg.
Again, the question is,
PlayStation game, Slide 3,
opens in Medias Res,
one year after the events of Slide 2
Band of Thieves.
What is the definition of the classical...
Story in progress.
You know?
Thank you.
I'm not going to give it to you
because Barrett is shaking his head.
That's in there.
Greg, you have the option to buzz in here.
What is the definition?
Media Rez.
In Medius Res,
slide 3 opens in that one year after the events of slide 2,
Band of Thieves.
What is the definition of the classical literary term
in Medius Res?
Correct.
In the middle of a scene that's already happening.
I can't give that to you either.
The answer is it opens in the chronological middle
of the plot.
You guys were all around.
You guys were all around it.
Nobody actually hit the nail on the head there.
The literal translation is into the middle of things.
That's what the translation of Inmedius Res is.
So nobody gets points for that round.
Round number six is a special round called
Which is the Greatest Hit?
Of course, Greatest Hits is the famous branding used
for discounted reprints of PlayStation video games.
I have a quickfire round of trivia for you.
Each round, I'm going to list three games.
One of these games is a PlayStation Greatest Hit.
Your job is to buzz in.
and tell me which of these games is the greatest hit for 10 points.
Contestants, are you ready?
Yeah.
First one.
Is it, A, Metal Gear Solid.
B, Ark the Lad, or C, Chrono Trigger.
Greg.
C.
C, Chrono Trigger is incorrect.
Mike.
B.
B, Arc the Lad, is incorrect.
Tim.
Metal Your Solid is the correct answer.
That is 10 points for Tim.
round number two
you have a
just to be clear
yeah so I think
where I got hung up
you said maybe you didn't
I probably put that
on my own thing
I was thinking
PS2 games
my apologies
no these are all games
from different
generations
so the first
one I read there
were all PS1 games
moving on
no it's not true
which one of the
oh you're talking about
cron trigger
cron sugar is not a PS1
but it's all the PS1
you know it's not
it's in a game
called Final Fantasy anthology
you know what fair
sure
these next ones
are
PS2 games. So is it A
Manhunt
B Godhand
or C. I-Toy
Check. Mike
A
A manhunt is
the correct answer getting points
on the board there for Team Purple
Round 3
is the PSP round. Yeah.
Is it A, G-Force
B, me and my Katamari
or C
Mike
fuck
I'm just trying to beat them to it, you know?
Let's go with C.
C, pedupon is the correct answer.
Fucking G4 points.
The hamsters?
I know, yeah, the guinea pig.
Get it right, that's why they were G-Force.
Oh, my God.
I didn't think about that either.
Holy shit.
Google and I think I reviewed it.
Awesome.
Round four is the PS3 round.
Is it?
A, Crisis 3.
B, uncharted three, Drake's deception.
That is incorrect.
Or C, heavy rain.
Mike.
C.
C, heavy rain, is the correct answer that is 10 points for Mike.
And our final round of this special round here is the PS4 era.
Is it?
Is the greatest hit?
A, injustice two.
B, Final Fantasy 15 or C, concrete genie.
Mike.
A.
A. Injustice 2 is the correct answer bringing us to the end of our special round.
And catching my cup pretty well there.
Was greatest hits a thing on PS4?
Yeah.
I did not know that.
I mean, not as many games were greatest hits as I looked through the Wikipedia of it.
But yeah, it was a thing.
What does the box look like?
That's crazy.
Good question.
I don't think I've seen a greatest hits on PS4 either.
Round number seven.
Speaking of greatest hits, Sony introduced the program for PlayStation in March of
1997. The original requirement for being a greatest hits title was selling at least 150,000 copies
and being on the market for at least how long. Mike? Three years. Three years is incorrect. Tim.
One year. One year is the correct answer. That's 10 points for Tim. Round number eight. This
is a round of bullet points. I'm going to read to you details about a game, one bullet point at a time.
it is your job to buzz in and guess what this game is.
He can buzz in once per bullet point.
Contestants, are you ready?
Yeah!
First bullet point.
According to Wikipedia, this game was met with a claim
with many applauding the addictive nature, gameplay structure, innovation, and improvements
over its predecessor.
Mike.
Pokemon Yellow.
Pokemon Yellow is incorrect.
Greg.
Luminous 2.
Luminous 2 is incorrect.
Tim.
Assassin's Creed 2.
The Science Creed is incorrect.
Bullet point number two.
On April 1st, 2015, this game had a crossover announced with Tekken.
Greg.
The Witcher 3.
The Witcher 3 is incorrect.
Mike.
Monster Hunter.
Monster Hunter is incorrect.
Looks like Tim isn't buzzing in.
As we move on to round number three, in this game, the player can only move left or right.
In this game, the player can only move left.
It's left and right, I should say.
Mike. Streets of Rage.
Streets of Rage is incorrect.
If nobody else is going to buzz it.
Tim.
Temple Run.
Temple Run is incorrect.
Bullet point number four.
Correct.
I'm sorry, a little big planet two.
A little big planet two is incorrect.
Bullet point number four.
This game has made cameo appearances in films including the karate kid.
Mike.
Mortal Kombat.
That is incorrect.
the karate kid, the Avengers, and pixels.
Tim.
Gallagga.
Yep.
Gallagah is the correct answer.
That man's playing Gallagher.
That man right there is playing Gallagher, as said by the one and only Tony Stark.
What was the first bulletpoint?
According to Wikipedia, the game was met with a claim with many applauding the addictive nature,
gameplay structure, innovation, and improvements over its predecessor.
What was his predecessor?
Oh, a galaxyan, I think.
Oh, I didn't think that.
Yeah.
It was the sequel to Namco's Galaxian.
Also, I like The Witcher 3 guests because I think you're thinking of Soul Calibur, one of them.
I, you know, me in fighting games.
I'm just throwing, I was April 20, 2015 or 2015.
I was like, I got to throw something up there.
Fair enough.
Barrett, what's the current score?
Right now, the current score in last place.
Just, I don't know where he's at today.
He's just, he's thinking, what were you thinking about?
Where have I been this season, Barrett?
Everybody, it's my retirement.
Where has he been this season?
I'm not coming back.
He's just in his mind thinking he's at a.
Primus concert.
My name is mud.
In second place, he had a slow start, but he's catching back up.
Can he bring it home today?
We'll have to wait and see.
It is Mike Snowbike Mike Howard for Team Purple with 40 points and in the lead.
Currently, unsurprisingly, the master of video game trivia.
Some would call him.
It is Tim Geddes for Team Orange with 80 points, but it's still anybody's game.
And we have so much game left.

Now, let's play
GeoGessor.
Blesser.
Legally distinct
Geo Blesser. It's not related
to GeoGessor. Oh, as a slip of the tongue.
Of course, Geoblesser,
the rules are simple.
Geoblesser today is
name that racing game.
I have two rounds of screenshots
from various racing games.
Your job is to write down
on your white boards the name
of each of these games.
If you can identify the franchise correctly,
that will get you 10 points.
If you can correctly identify
which game in the franchise it is,
that is another 10 points.
So just write down the name of the game
and we'll figure out points from there.
There are four images per round.
You have a minute to jot down your answers
on your boards.
Contestants, are you ready?
Yes.
Barrett, bring up round one.
We got four games here being shown to the contestants.
Again, I'm looking for the titles of each of these four games.
If you're in the franchise, you get 10 points.
If you get the exact franchise entry, the exact name of the game,
that is another 10 points for you.
Our contestants here are locked in.
How much time do we have?
You have about 30 seconds.
Thank you, Barrett.
My mental math, you have 15 seconds.
I don't know if that's factual.
I'll keep you updated.
Thank you, Barrett.
15 seconds.
Ah, it's close.
I was trying to count it in my head.
There are no Michael Sarah.
I'll get there.
Does Michael Sarah do that?
His character in the rest of development does.
I got to rewatch that show.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Let's start off with Tim Geddes.
We got Mario Kart Double Dash,
top gear rally,
cruising blast,
and Mod Nation Racers.
All right, Mike, what you got for me?
I have Mario Kart Double Dash.
RC Mania, R.C. Mania 2.
Cruising, cruising world.
Modination Racers.
Modnation Racers, Vita.
Greg.
Mario Kart Double Dash.
I put a side bike because I did not know what any S game was, but, you know, I'd look like that.
I put need for speed because I didn't know and I put Mod Nation Racers for the last one.
Interesting, interesting.
The correct answers.
number one
you all got
Mario card double dash
the second game
RC Proam
Mike knocked on the door there
you're only gonna get one
or 10 points for that
because you didn't get the exact
entry but you did get the franchise Mike
I got the franchise
no he did not
not even at all
I thought
RC mania what the fuck is that
is RCM
let this season be competitive
what would you call the franchise
of RC ProaM
what
Mania has never been used
in any of these games
throw the challenge flag
God, my nation racers, what a great
Wait, hold on, I'm looking up.
Oh, so I see what you're saying.
RC mania's not even a real video game.
That's a different
giving the point.
I'm going to give you,
I'm going to give you that you were in the RC
franchise.
Barry doesn't like it.
I don't like it because R.C.
Media is like the state, like,
pro am.
Is RC.
Media like a different franchise of video game?
RC.
Mania is not a thing for video games.
But I feel like you would say it's the R.
I like that.
I like that, bless.
R.C.
It's true.
Let him live, bless.
You do what you want.
Yeah, it's not Gio Barretter.
You know what I mean?
Nobody's fucking over here.
Where's,
oh, did Roger leave?
He's pissed off.
He's pissed off.
He's pissed off.
Roger, where'd you go?
We need our other roof.
He's getting the Rediposed ready.
I'm going to give it to you.
You got the R.C.
I'm going to give you the 10 points.
That's fucking wild work.
I'm going to give it to you.
Can I knock 10 points off of Greg just for being a dick?
No, no.
He's fine.
I'm a third place forever,
Baird doesn't matter.
Life's knocked me off.
Don't worry about it.
Our number three here is cruising blast.
Of course, Tim got the exact thing.
Mike got the franchise because he said cruising, but you didn't say blast.
And then sadly, Greg wasn't able to get there.
And then our number four game here was Mod Nation Racers, which you all got.
So with that.
Well, Mike got it wrong.
He said Vita, remember?
Well, I thought we were doing, I thought we were doing franchise and title.
It sounds like you're getting dialed in.
But that's not the Vita one.
No, no, I thought we were doing doubles.
Like it was like a name.
You get the game of the franchise and then the name of the game.
Roger.
I was doing Modnation Ration.
Franchise, Mod Nation Racers, Vita, the name of the game.
But it's not.
It's Modnation Racers, though.
So you only get half the points.
Yeah, so you'll get half the points.
Half, yes.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I got the franchise.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right.
Well, I guess I'll give you half the points.
That wasn't what my thinking was.
I was just like, oh, you got Modnation racers.
You didn't even have to put the Vita.
But, oh, I mean, you just explained yourself out of it.
So, yeah, you're going to get half the points there.
I'm following the rules here.
Yeah.
I mean, you could, you could just write the name, full name of the game,
I can judge from there.
But because
you went above and beyond,
you're losing points.
I'm sorry.
So with that,
that is 60 points for Tim.
Five or 50 points for Mike
and then 40 points for Greg there
coming out of that round.
We do have a round two.
Barrett.
Bring it up.
Again, I'm asking,
what is that race in game?
You know,
round one,
we had some variety there
in terms of the type of race.
racing game brought to the table.
Round two, not much different.
Again, I'm looking for the name of the entry.
If you get the franchise correct, that's 10 points.
If you get the exact title, correct, the exact franchise entry.
30 seconds.
That is 10 more points.
I love people in chat.
These are different games?
Yes, they are.
They're all different games.
Or are they?
Who knows?
15 seconds.
Five, four, four,
three, three, three, two, one.
Help me out.
Oh, yeah.
Well, no, you need that.
I do you do that?
Yeah.
All right.
Let's start off with Greg.
All right, so for number one, I put Forza Horizon, and for number two, I put Forza Horizon.
For three, I put Forza Horizon, and for four, I put Grand Turismo.
Nice job.
I was smart.
You played that smart.
I like that.
Mike, what you got for me?
Yes, thank you, bless.
I'd like to kick it to the Ubisoft hit title, The Crew, and the Crew, too.
Forza, Forza Horizon 5.
Spy Hunter.
Spy hunting.
Then Grand Frismo Gt6.
All right.
And Tim,
what you got for me?
I got Fortza Horizon 5.
Forza Motorsport 3.
Forza Horizon 4 and Grand Turismo 7.
He might get us.
Each might all be forces.
Can you wait?
Can you read yours real quick again, Tim?
Forza Horizon 5.
Forza Motorsport 3.
Forza Horizon 4.
4th, Horizon 4.
Grand Turismo 7.
Cool, cool.
it's gonna be a fun one because there will be some disputes coming up that we'll talk about
um the exact answers here are the first one is the crew motor fess
motor fest good job mike he said the crew too and we double check is that the second one though
it's not the second one i know that for a fact so you're specifically told him he didn't need to be
this specific he still did the specific well yeah i would i do want the entry so yeah you get 10 points
there mike but you don't get the 20 thank you number two forts of horizon three now for this i am
considering Horizon different from motorsport.
And so with that, I believe
Greg gets the 10 points there and Mike gets
the 10 points there for Ford's Horizon 3.
Fun fact, if you squint your eyes
at that second picture, the license plate does
say Horizon
3 on it. Oh, you got a really squint.
Yeah, you got a really squint here.
Number three,
Need for Speed rivals, which
nobody even got Need for Speed with. And then
our number four game there is
Grand Turismo 7, which I believe
Tim got. That's 20 points there for Tim.
And then Mike and Greg both got 10 points for Grand Turismo.
So coming out of round two, the points for round two, Tim got 20 points overall.
Mike got 30 points.
Greg got 20 points.
Hey, let's get real right now.
Okay, you and I, look me in the eyes out.
Here we go.
Let's turn this around, okay?
For you.
You see this guy over here?
Let's beat this guy.
Don't you?
You have more stars than him, don't you?
Let's turn this up.
Yeah, but I want to get you on the board.
I believe they're tied.
Let's turn this up right now.
Yeah, Team Purple and Team, who I think are tied.
Let's turn this guy up.
We're coming for you.
I know.
Before we move on, what's the score recap?
right now still in last place just doing whatever he can to make sure team orange loses it doesn't matter if he wins or not it is gregg miller for team blue with 60 points in second place he's hot on the tails of one tim gettys will tim gettys leave the door open for one snow bike mike howard for team purple with 120 points and still in the lead can he hold the number one spot for the rest of the game we'll have to wait and see
It is Tim Gettys for Team Orange with 160 points, but it's still anybody's game.
Let's play mad categories.
I had a pause there because somebody in chat said that Tim said Gt6, but I don't think that's true.
I did that.
You said G2.6, yeah.
Thank you.
But good job, Chad.
Keep trying to get them.
We'll make our own truth here.
This season has made me nervous about getting things wrong now.
And so now I'm like looking at chat to be my backup.
Don't worry. Roger got things wrong this episode.
Oh my God. He owes me 10 points.
That's on Roger. Roger.
We needed a third referee. You got to stay
here. I'm joking.
Okay. Mad categories.
The rules are simple.
I'm going to list a handful of games.
It is your job to write down which category you think the game
belongs in. We're going to go one game
at a time through a list of 10. You get 20 points
for each correct placement.
So the one where we just go. We just go straight down.
Yeah, as we go straight down.
And of course, 20 points for each round here.
Big opportunity here to turn things around for each of you.
Now, today's mad categories are fighting game or beat them up.
Love it.
Fighting game or beat them up.
If you want a shorthand, you can write fight or beat.
What about an F or a B?
I'll take an F or a B.
Just make sure I can tell the difference.
Fair enough, that's fair, Mike.
Now, let's get into some definitions.
Because of course, historically, some people might not know the difference
between a fighting game and a beat him up.
According to Wikipedia, a beat-em-up, a video game genre featuring hand-to-hand combat against a large number of opponents.
Traditional beat-em-ups take place in scrolling two-dimensional levels, while a number of modern fighting, modern beat-em-up games, I just say, sorry, feature more open three-dimensional environments with yet larger numbers of enemies.
So, examples, Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, Seafood.
Now, fighting game, a genre which involves combat between characters often, but not necessarily limited to one-on-one.
battles. The mechanics of combat and fighting games often features blocking, grappling,
and the ability to chain attacks together into combos. Examples being Street Fighter, Tekken,
Mortal Kombat. Any questions? I love that Sifu is a beat-em-up. It's good. Oh, yeah. Very accurate.
Listen, I had to make, I have an agenda with this one. This goes back years to game awards.
Contestants, are you ready? Yeah.
Round one. Fatal Fury. City of the War.
The Wolfs.
Fatal Fury,
City of the Wolves.
You know, you said we go all the way down.
Now I think about it,
because I haven't done this game in a while.
I think we're going to reveal every round.
Okay.
Is that right, Barrett, Rodger?
Roger leave again?
I don't know.
Oh, Roger left again.
We'll reveal it every round.
It's one of those things where, you know,
oftentimes the murderer returns to the scene of the crime.
Here's the thing.
This is a game inspired by mobile gamer bullshit.
And I think that you would list all of the questions first,
and then we'd loop back around.
to answers.
I think that'll
think that'll keep the scoring more interesting
towards the end of the game.
I'll counter that.
I like the cheat.
Damn, I'm saying it right now.
I like, really?
And Tim is very free of like,
he likes to do this.
You know what I mean?
I'm gonna, I'm gonna hold myself accountable.
I think you gotta keep me in check,
bless. Maybe we do.
He's already crossed it out and put a different one in.
I'm just letting you know,
Tim's real friendly.
He's literally, at least Ron.
He's not.
No, I'm not.
He loves to do it.
At least you're honest.
I'm pretty sure when we've previously done the game, we've done it round by round.
So I think honestly, if I'm correct, what we did it with mobile game or bullshit, right,
we would lock in if we thought it was mobile or bullshit and then move on the next question before revealing.
Correct, correct.
So why not just do it?
All right, and we all write down our answers.
Then we go, I think it's a beat him up.
I think it's funny.
And then we go on to the next one.
Yeah, let's see that.
And that way Mike can't keep fucking cheating.
I'm going to close my eyes, too.
Jesus.
gonna hear it's gonna be revealed yeah I'm pretty sure we've done it differently before but
I like let's do it this time around because I just want to feel it out you know I think I should
get some feel things out yeah I'll give you a tip of the hat I'll give you I'll give you I'll give you
thank you so again round one there was fatal theory city of the wolves I said beat him up
I said fighting game wait so are we saying it now right that's what I'm saying oh we're just
locking it so Mike doesn't cheat that's what we're doing okay they lock in their answers
we reveal the answers after everything I said fighting game all right two F's in a B
who F's in a B I've been there on a Friday night
round number two
well no because this makes it harder
I think to score merit for me and you
because I think for me and you
we got to do this in real time
so I'm going to reveal
in real time no no no no no
I'll write down the names
I'll do it on my end of who got it right
so go through it again

There will be a Reddit post
There will be a Reddit post
Roger
This is some
Tom fory
Meaning Roger
If you can give me
Two Star Trophies
Because
this episode
ends in the rare tie.
Wow.
If you can bring up the score recap.
The rare tie.
No tie breaker?
No tie breaker.
Two stars being dealt out this episode.
Wow.
He's handing out, you know what?
We got to be happy with that.
But also, Reddy, get ready.
Reddy, get ready because the final score breakdown.
You changed it.
I just want that clear ready.
He changed the game.
He stole my answers.
I will accept no bullshit from this.
The final scores was Greg with 200 points
in last place. This is a high-scoring game
with these last few rounds here for
two days. And tied, even
though we all know who should have
really won this week. It was
Snowbike Mike Howard for Team Purple
and Tim Gettys for Team Orange with 260
points each earning them
a star.
Yeah, so here we are with the Star
Tracker for you. A bad day for Team Blue.
Team Blue came into this episode with one star.
Team Purple and Orange both came into
this episode with three stars each because of a tie
this episode. There's no
type breaker, meaning both teams go up to four stars.
A competitive season for Team Purple,
Team Orange, but of course a lot of season left for Team Blue to make the comeback.
You know what, blessing there is a lot of season left in Game Showdown Season 4.
And Tim, you appear to be nigh unstoppable, winning a star each and every time you come to
Game Showdown.
So I'm here to offer you a deal with the devil, sir.
with the devil.
You clearly can't lose.
You get stars all the time.
Right now, one time offer before we sign off,
trade me team orange for team blue.
I take your stars, you take.
You'll make them all back.
You'll get to be team blue.
I hate it.
You'll get switch them all.
I go over there.
I keep the four.
You're at one.
Three episodes.
You're right back to four.
That's a great deal.
Tide with Mike.
I got nothing.
I got nothing in the tank.
That's brilliant.
I'm washed up a mold.
My dog died.
I'll allow it if you want to do that.
Tim, this's up to you.
I want Team Blue.
Show the star tracker.
Show the Star Tracker.
I want Team Blue.
Go to your seat, then.
Is it the man or the chair?
Is it the man of the chair?
Wow.
Wow.
No way.
Just like that.
Poppies back in.
Hey!
It feels better.
It feels better here.
The devil!
The devil!
So, Tim, I was expecting this.
The new captain of Team Blue is now sitting at one star for the season.
Team Purple, of course, sitting at four stars.
The co-captain is Mike and Andy.
And Greg Miller, the new captain of Team Orange is sitting tied at first place with four stars.
Want it clear?
Yeah.
Misunderstood the deal.
Oh, my God.
I thought it was just for one.
I thought it was the one star.
He was going to give you that.
No, cool, fine.
I still take it, though.
I'm here, everybody.
And I'm going to show it.
and I'm going to compete and I will win.
The four Pete baby, T. Blue.
We're on our way.
This has been an episode of Game Showdown,
your nerdy trivia show.
We'll be back next week with another episode.
Until next time, it's been our pleasure to serve you.
