Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Gamescast. I'm one of your host, Blessing, Adia Jr. I'm joined by the Master of Hype, Snowbike, Mike. What up, Bless. Thanks for having me on today. Quick question for everybody. Is that a quick intro?

Like, what's up with y'all's intros? Why is everybody so short, bear? The Xcast, we got a nice, long, meaty one. Like, what's up with this thing? I mean, you just get right into it. There's no nonsense here on the Gamescast. Mike, I know over on the Xcast, we like to have fun. But Tim is, like, we have no nonsense here.

like long intros. We don't like long introductory where, you know, we take a while to introduce all the rest of the hosts and stuff. But I will say the PS I love you intro, Mike. Another long one. But games is no nonsense. No nonsense. Although I feel like the Xcast one might be longer than the PSLovey one.

I feel like whenever I'm on games. I can look it up now. Whenever I'm on Xcast, which I think has been what twice at this point? I'm just sitting for what feels like at least two and a half minutes. I'm like when are I going to be on camera? Also, that voice you heard earlier. Of course, is the voice of Barrett Courtney. So right here I have the

X-Cast's main title is 25 seconds with two seconds of black. And then the new PSI Love You intro is 24 seconds. So it's not that. It's not that different. And so honestly, technically, without the two seconds of black, that's 23 seconds for X-Cast and then 24 for PSI-Love-U.

That gets right into it. Yeah. Good question. Didn't they used to have like an intro to this though? People were dancing around. People were shucking and jiving and jumping on the screen and stuff. What happened to that? The games cast on games cast? Yeah, wasn't it a whole thing where like all the characters are doing their moves and stuff? Oh, that was years ago, though.

I think that was before I even started here, Mike. I'm stuck in the past. A lot of people say I'm stuck in the past. That was when we had a different theme song, like a different opening track for a games cast. It's like gamescast doesn't dance anymore. I love that. Mike listens to every single episode of the kind of funny next gen podcast, which is our Patreon because of the show of me, Barrett, and Roger.

And Mike apparently just never listens to gamescast. I've never seen one episode of Gamescast. I'm impressed. Do you know what else I'm impressed by every single week when I'm on a show with her? Janet Garcia. Hey, what's up? How's up? How's up?

How's up? Well, I actually, my Starbucks name is Jay. It's just easier. And I sometimes go by Jay. So I was like, Jay. And they're like, jade. And I'm like, no, Jay. And they said, oh, okay.

And then I got the order in it said jade. I feel like you can't get mad because that's not even your. name. Yeah. They don't know that, though. They misspelled my letter. They misspelled the first letter. So you go by Jay because Jay is easier, but wouldn't Janet just be easier because

that's like a known quantity of a name? No, you think, I think I got to find a new Starbucks name as a thing. Because I originally just gave them my real name, but they'd be like Shannon. Like what, you know, they name like three different names. With Jay, I've been getting accuracy all the time except for, I think today might be the first misprint, but not the first time that they, thought I said jade but the real thing is I'm like why don't you just wait for me to scan my app because my app will give you my name it'll be printed on there we could avoid all this but sometimes I do go

up like and scan the app instead of like ordering ahead of time and that's when I like run into these issues so I was like yeah jade that's me i go back uh jana as a big Starbucks guy myself like you you're not ordering ahead of time as you approach the building just to have it set and ready to rock or do you have a special order you got a jab with the guy with what's up it's it depends on I have a bad perception of like which Starbucks is which, especially because some are really close to each other. Like I have one that I go to that's in a lot that has a grocery store where that one has a Starbucks also in it. So like there's not a way to like, if you could nickname them or something, sure. But because of that and I'm always going to different ones, sometimes I'll just go up and do it myself.

When I can't order a head though, I do that. And then I just walk up, I grab the stuff. You know, no one in and out. No one has to know that I was here. But that's not always the case. like Blessing and I probably understand your predicament just because, like, blessing, I don't know if, like, you, like, regularly get the, the people get your name correctly at a Starbucks. But for, like, for me, Barrett, it's like, Garrett, Jarrett. Sometimes, one time there was someone who wrote it as Bear, as in, like, the animal bear and then IT. And that was really good. And, like, that was when I was like, I need to come up with a new name. And so maybe I just do James since that's my little name. So back in the day, I used to do Wayne as my Starbucks name. Like Batman? Yeah, yeah, like Bruce Wayne.

Yeah. Yeah. But it was pulled from, Wayne is actually one of my secret middle names. Because like in Nigeria, they do a thing called a naming ceremony where a kid's born and like the family celebrates and like people one by one give the child different names with usually different meanings. Of course, I was born in the States. And so my naming ceremony happened in Illinois. One of the people invited to my naming ceremony was our white pastor who his middle name. is Wayne. And so he decided, you know, amongst all these different Nigerian names that I'm being

given with all these different meanings. He's like, I'm going to name this young Nigerian kid, Wayne, getting even my own name. And I never like, I never get to use that name except for at Starbucks. Because at Starbucks, you know, if I tell them blessing, and this is just in life in general, nobody believes me the first time I tell them that my name's blessing. It's always, oh, well, was that, Leslie? I'm, no, blessing. Wesley? Leslie? No, blessing. And they're like, blessing, oh, less? And it turns into a conversation. And I always appreciate it, right? Like, I love that people enjoy my name.

But also, I just can't afford to have that conversation every single time. For them, it's just one conversation. It's one and done. But for you, it's an endless thing. Yeah. For me, it's like, oh, your name's blessing. That's so cool. And I'm like, thank you.

I appreciate that. Time is ticking and I need this coffee. I need to go. And so, yeah, that's when I started going by Wayne. But Wayne also comes with some misspellings, right? Like, I often get Wade or I'll get, like, I got Wayne spelled W. W-A-I-N and that was one that blew my mind That was one where I was like

All right, they're fucking Like the action of waning almost Yeah, yeah, yeah, like the action of waning And so I still get some of those But yeah, if I have to give my name for a Starbucks Wayne is still my go-to Mike, you just go by Mike? Yeah, I'm just going by Mike

I mean the people, everybody knows me So I do have Snowbike Mike on my Starbucks stuff But yeah, I'm by Mike It blows my mind that like you guys put up with that right? Because I have just generic loser name Mike, you know, so I don't have anything like that. It's not a loser name. But like, y'all are coming up with like side names

or something. I know now I'm going in tomorrow. I'm going in tomorrow. I'm going to be Tom, you know. Throw them off tomorrow. That's going to be your fun exciting new name is Tom for Starbucks. Jesus. I'd like this now. I don't even look like it's on. Now, of course, I'm sure plenty of people are clicking into the podcast being like, oh wow,

this is odd. Where is the usual crew? Why is Bless Hope's thing? Where is they? Listen, Tim Getty's, bit in one eye by snakes. Greg Miller, bit in the other eye by snakes. Andy Cortez, it's fucking dead. All right, I don't know what to tell you. It's been a chaotic week here. Just separate.

No, it's just a separate occasion. No, I had nothing to do with snakes. Andy just got an unlucky day. But yeah, no, it's us. It was very chaotic getting this crew together. But I'm very excited about this episode because, of course, today's topics include Roller Drome and we are OFC review impressions,

Today we're brought to you by Shopify and Uplift, but we'll tell you about that later for now. Let's begin with what is, and forever will be, Fortnite. Because, of course, Fortnite has been having their Fortnite Dragon Ball Z crossover event.

Who here? Raise your hand. I know it's audio podcast, but this visuals too. Raise your hand if you've tried out the event yet. Oh, please. All right, you got Mike. We got me. Mike, I'll let you lead. How's it been like?

It's pretty cool, blessing. You know, nothing big has changed. Of course, if you're a Dragon Ball fan, and you're going to be really geeked up about these skins coming in there. I bought the naked cat. I don't know what his name is, but he's a purple naked cat. And he's lit. Beiris.

Beiris. I just, I don't know how it's spelled, yeah. So there's two things. Of course, you get the skins, which I think a lot of Dragon Ball Z fans will be very excited about. The idea of what Fortnite now is where Master Chief in Cratos

and now Dragon Ball Z characters are all banging into each other along with Darth Vader. Everybody loves that. There is two new items that I find really, really cool. There's the Nimbus cloud that allows you to kind of disengage and re-engage into fights pretty quickly with the opportunity to essentially fly in and out of battles I thought was really cool. And the Kamea Kamea, I don't know how to pronounce that. Yeah, there we go. Super move, which I think is actually really cool. It absolutely punishes people, but you only get three attempts on it.

And it takes a little bit of a charge up. So you can stop that if you are the people about to get slapped in the face with it. But at the same time, it feels cool to pull. off, right? It's that iconic Dragon Ball Z photo and video that I know everybody loves, unlike me who doesn't know anything about Dragon Ball. But what I want to get to is the best part about this event that I like, and then I'm really into is the opportunity to watch Dragon Ball Z episodes in Fortnite, right? As someone who hasn't watched Dragon Ball Z, there's modes in there where you can jump in and they just have it like you've done before watching movie trailers. You can jump in

and just watch Dragon Ball Z episodes with your friends in the Fortnite Metaverse, which is a big deal, right i think a lot of young kids myself people who haven't been watching dragon ball have now an opportunity to watch five to six episodes and hang out with their friends maybe me and kevin a sax he can explain the history so for me great events of course you always want more out of the fortnight events from the ariana grande concerts to a new map but for what this is the little small update they've done a really good job on this yeah i'm right there with you uh i played quite a bit yesterday and the for me so far the biggest things that have jumped out have been the nimbus cloud and kamiamiha ha as collectibles to pick up and then use.

My favorite thing about it, though, is that, like, you can kind of combine them to get, like, a really cool, hey, there's somebody over there. They're approaching it. That's cool. Let me use the Nimbus Cloud to launch into the air. And then as I'm coming down, if you use the Kamihameha, it basically pauses you in the air.

So you're in the air, like, you're Goku charging that thing up. And it does 100 damage immediately. And so, like, if they're weakened or if they don't have any armor, that is an immediate, you're knocking them down. And so, like, it's a pretty, it's a pretty like powerful thing to add to the game as a move but also I think it feels really cool like I'm somebody who I grew up uh I watched a bit of Dragon Ball Z I watched more honestly watched more Dragon Ball than Dragon Ball Z growing up but I also played a lot of Dragon Ball Zee

games like the Budakai franchise was my one of my favorite fighting game franchises um as a kid growing up and I remember playing Dragon Ball Z Budakai Tan Kaichi and being like yo I'm just in the anime now like this is me like living as this character I have four freedom of motion. I'm like, I'm literally Goku, and that felt like such the, I felt like the coolest thing in the world playing that back in the day. Playing Fortnite and getting to run around as Goku, I haven't gotten to actually use Goku yet, but my friend I was playing with yesterday did have the Goku skin, so she was running around as him, and I was still, I was still playing as Kratos with like an Amongus backpack on. Having that be the, the case and like running around

at Fortnite, it is such a wild, it's just wild imagery to see on screen, right? All. all the shit going on. And Fortnite's had these levels of crossover for crossovers for a while. But adding DBZ, I think does take it to a different level. And I've really been enjoying it. Jan, I know you're super into Fortnite. Do you plan to check this one out? Yeah, I did.

I just didn't raise my hand because I'm not doing the event yet. Like there's an event where you can like unlock different, God, I don't know what form of fake currency it is, but you can work towards getting the dragon, which now I'm forgetting the name. The dragon ball. No, it's a glider dragon. The gliders, yeah. You can unlock that if you, like, get enough.

So I want to grind through that. I think it's up for like 10 days or something to do it. But I've just been playing no build, better royal mode, but just with the skins. So I was like, you know what? And I haven't admitted this on content yet because I feel like it's a little bit embarrassing, but I'm like, I play this game all the time. I love this game, you know, caveat, caveat.

I'm like, what if I just got a lot of e-books? What if I just got maybe like the highest package of V-bucks for this? So I did that. I finally pulled the trigger. I spent a bunch of money on this game, and I was like, I'm going to go shopping. So I got the Vegeta and Bulma bundle. I got Goku. I got the Nimbus Cloud Glider separate, and I got the Fusion Dance for $400B bucks.

And you know what? I don't have any regrets. I'm having a great time. My heart is warmed watching Goku wield this gun, and I would go back and do it all again. It's just a fun additional incentive, I think, to get back into the game. I've been hitting the season pretty hard, but I've missed like the last few weeks, you know, took a little bit of a break, went on vacation, and now I'm like, oh man, these, it's been rumored for a long time. The skin's finally dropped. I'm like, I'm going to buy a lot of stuff

and I'm going to go and I'm going to drop in over and over again and see what's up. Also, to your point with the items they added in, the kind of like extra stuff to all the modes, I like that getting some of that stuff that comes in through like the capsules that drop kind of ramly on the island. I think that's just kind of a fun additional. layer. I think there's a level of like battling instead of having it couched as bounties. But I haven't really dug into that as much. Yeah, the versus battles. Yeah. So that that's kind of at play. And yeah, I got my I got I played a couple times yesterday and my team got one Victor Royale. I was Bulma. I still want to see more skins for Bulma because it's a lot of it's from Dragon Balls

the future I think. So that's why it's like older Bulma super. So it's like older Bulma instead of like some of the other skins. Like I really want like her in that iconic like pink kind of skirt shirt thing. Um, so we'll see what else comes in. I'm hoping like Piccolo comes in trunks. So I didn't spend all my money because I'm like if Piccolo and Trunks comes in, you know, I'm going to pick that up. And you may be listening to this wondering like, why do I care about it? Because I historically never like anime and I don't watch anime and I am not interested in it. But I watched Dragon Ball Z as a kid. I watched a lot of Dragon Ball Z as a kid. That is like some of my fondest memories are, I remember the day I started watching the show.

Like I was coloring at the kitchen table. My brother had already been watching. And I was just like, you know what? I'm going to see what that show is all about because he's always watching it. And I got into it and I watched like a bunch of it. I wouldn't say I'm like an expert by any means. Like I don't have to forget like plot lines and different things. But it was a big part of my childhood.

So I'm like, oh, this is like one of the things for me. And I think that's what's cool about Fortnite having so much content. Like at one point, it's going to get you with the skins a little bit. if you like that stuff. Obviously, some people don't want to spend like money or have to like worry about that. And I totally get that. But it's like, what do you like? Music, games, anime, like, they're going to find you with, you know, soccer.

Like, they will find you with something. And it gives you something to get excited about. And that's part of why I'm having a really good time with this game in this season. That's my thing is they also take it to another level where, you know, it could just be skins. But it's the fact that, oh, no, let's put in the Kamiha, hamihan in here. Let's put in the Nibis Cloud. Let's also put in challenges that are Dragon Ball Z specific. Let's put in Kami's house as an area that you can drop in

and then also have these capsule vending machines where you can buy the NIMIS cloud and stuff. Like they put in enough stuff in there to make it feel like, no pun intended, right? An event, right? They make it feel like a whole experience as opposed to just, oh yeah, let's throw in just these random cosmetics. And granted, you know, it's not perfect.

I also wish there was Piccolo and other stuff in there. It seems like it is very focused on Dragon Ball Super, and I'm not seeing Dragamol Super. I don't know where they take a lot of those characters. But I feel like for the hardest of the hardcore fans, or the people that have been into Dragon Ball Z, whether it is through watching the anime hardcore or just being attached through it through pop culture,

Dragon Ball Z is where a lot of people entered the franchise. And so it could be cool to see Friza show up. It could be cool to see Cell show up, you know, get like old-looking Vegeta. And when I say old-looking Vegeta, I mean like season one, Dragon Ball Z, Vigida, where he looked like a different character practically. You know, I think there's a lot of stuff

that you can do there and I wonder if it is going to be more of a drip feed thing or I wonder if it is hey we can get super because super is hot right now and this is the partnership they're able to do we we don't want to over inundate our audience with Dragon Ball Z stuff I can kind of understand both sides there but I think I think it's fun the one thing I will say also though and it's funny because I think this is just an ongoing conversation with Fortnite and crossover multiverse games in general as I was playing yesterday there was something a bit like weird about seeing Goku run around with a gap. You know, it's like something dirty. Something, yeah, something's like, oh man, capitalism one here.

You know what I mean? Like when Akira, or his name, Akira Toriyama, I think it was his name, when he was drawing and designing Goku, right, when he was sweating over the drawing page, you know, making his cool spiky hair, figuring out what a super saying look like, you know, just $2 to his name. I'm doing a lot of, like, speculating here. I don't think he was like, eventually, this guy is going to have a gun. and shoot down Superman. I feel it feels it feels a little bit weird. I'm not letting me bother me too much

because at the end of the day, it's this Fortnite, it's this fucking game. But also I'm like, man, it's kind of wild that like Fortnite just putting guns and all these different characters hands who like Superman would never shoot down fucking, I don't know, Naruto, but he can in Fortnite. I don't know, that's weird.

It looks a mod is the thing. Like my brother, like, and Isaiah were like looking at me like download the stuff and it's like, this looks absolutely wild. And obviously this is not unique to the Dragon Ball Z or Dragon Ball Future crossover, but it is just a reminder of like how bonkers this game is and how like hard it would be, I think for a lot of us to conceptualize like many years ago, something like this existing with the amount of IP it has,

the amount of popularity and also the amount of polish. Like it is a really good game and I am like constantly impressed by how much they update and tweak and evolve with the additions they add in to everything. Like there's like any I can play pretty regularly and still jump in and be like oh, there's a new item. Oh, there's a new. There's a new form of like I saw it. Oh God. It's like a rift.

Junk rift where it like and that might not be new. It might be a reintroduction because I haven't been playing every single day since this game hit beta. But I was like, oh, what is this? And it's like, oh, it drops like a car. They let's see what this does or whatever. So there's always like new ways to, I think, experiment and learn about what's going on. And like as soon as you get you something, they have something else and they bring it back. Yeah, it's just, it's really impressive.

Now, speaking of Fortnite, there's a game that I feel like takes a lot of influence from Fortnite that Mike's been playing. Mike, tell us about Rumbleverse. How's that going? Plus Rumbleverse is a blast. Another battle royale, but a different kind of battle royale because we're on the melee side. And as you guys all know and everybody listening, there's been very few and far between on the melee side of battle royals. An Iron Galaxy stepped up to the plate and created Rumbleverse, which if you go listen to the kind of funny X-cast this, week. You'll hear Adam Boys and Adam Hart both talk about how that team created this. But

Roma versus a blast, you guys. And I really encourage everyone to go check it out. It is a wrestling battle royale, essentially WWE on crack. But it has that Fortnite look to it, right, which I think is playing in this team's favor, which will have people excited and into the look of it, right? It has that colorful cartooning world, which is just a great foundation to build off of especially living the world of Fortnite. But this battle royale is a a ton of fun. On the melee side of things, it's really cool because it has fighting game roots where you can feel the rock paper scissors happening in front of you of, I chose this, they chose that, this wins out over that, okay, I keep it moving. But it's also fast and furious. Each match

takes about 10 to 15 minutes. You can play either solos or duos. And I think they have the right mix right now to really jump onto it. It's free to play, full cross platform, cross progression right now. They have the storefront in the marketplace, just like Fortnite. It's published by Epic. So they're teamed up with the Epic team for, you know, what we'll see in the future of down the road of what this could be with the IPs, like Janet talked about of all the wrestling stuff you would want to see and more. But when it comes down to gameplay itself, it's fun, it's fast,

it's different than what you've played before. Like I said, the fighting game routes, then on top of that, you're learning these special moves where you either press the right L1 or R1 to do these cool little combo moves that you really like. And it is a ton of fun. I'm loving Rumbleverse right now. I wish I could say more, but I get flooded with all the emotions because I think it's a really great

battle royale. What is it about it that works the most for you? Because I look at it, right? And I'm like, okay, obviously it's pulling a lot from 4'9 in terms of the style, the aesthetic. I'm sure right now the game just launched, so I'm sure cosmetics haven't taken off yet. I'm them partnering with Epic.

I assume that they'll get there. Right? But like it seems like a lot of what you're talking about is the actual rock paper scissors of it. Would you say that's the thing that's elevated it beyond for you? Or is there something, is there anything else that you'd say is really special about it that's making it really stick out? The thing that sticks out and catches people is the wow moment, right? Being able to choke slam somebody off of the top of a skyscraper, right? The team really worked hard on the verticality and this unique, really awesome map. So on top of that, you jump into a world that looks like Fortnite. They have this beautiful, well-created map that

has a lot of awesome lore and a lot of touches that you'll see and recognize, but also the verticality. They talk about it on the Xcast up. They built a 3D platformer first, right? It's all about being able to move and traverse around the map. And it's fun and it's engaging to move around and be able to jump and climb up these things, but the wow moments are what's going to capture you, right? Like me and Greg together and all of a sudden, Greg throws down the gigantic elbow from

three stories up and punish his three guys. Or all of a sudden, I spear something. someone out of the zone and they get counted out instead of dying in the zone, which is a ton of fun, right? And so there's these wow moments where each and every time you play, just like any battle royale, right, you're going to walk out and then go, oh, my God, do you remember this or do you remember that? And I think that really leads to what these battle royale, the game mode, right? It's not changing the world.

It's a game mode that make people say, oh, I really had fun times. Every single time you jump in, it's going to be different. It's going to be new. It's going to be fresh. And I think with the moves that they've created from all of these. cool wrestling background from pile drivers to spears to choke slams, right? And then on top of that, having your supers and having the map start to slowly shrink and go from 20 squads to one, it is those wow moments, those storytelling moments that you'll have

each and every match. That's what gets me and keeps me engaged and stuff. And I think it hits again at the right time, right? We look around at the landscape of games. There's not much to play right now on the side of new games, right? And so when you get a new game and it hits at free to play full. cross platform, oh, it's a battle royale, but it's something new and different. You should just try it. That's that kind of perfect formula that you're looking for here in the middle of August

when we're just patiently awaiting for other big AAA title. So they really struck right at the right time, I think, in my opinion. Janet, as somebody who really likes Fortnite, does Rumbleverse do anything for you? Now I feel like I kind of got to play it. Like Mike at least sold me on trying it. I think just from the excitement and just looking at some of the footage, I'm like, okay, this, it's interesting that it is something different within the space because, like Mike pointed out, there's not a lot that, like, plays within that genre. So, yeah, I'd at least try it out because it's, it's free, right? Is it not free? Full free.

Yeah. Yeah. And I think, Jenny, you feel it, right? I think everybody should at least try it. It's like the fall guy situation we've done before. It is like Fortnite, right? Where you hear one of your friends talk about and that's exactly what they want is like, one person shares it. And then the other person's like, well, what do I have to lose?

It's free to play. I can play with my friends on any platform. Why not download it for a night? That's what I definitely encourage people to do. Jan, one game I know you've been playing is we are OFK, which reviews just went up for that one. I believe that game, the first couple episodes come out tomorrow. Is that right?

First two. First two. And I guess if people are listening to this podcast, the day it comes out for everyone. And yeah, as of today, the first two episodes of five are out. I played the first episode. Janet, how many episodes have you played? All of them, all five. Wow.

Janet, what do you think of your OFK? I think that it has a lot of great ideas, and I think some of the writing is fantastic. Love the themes. Love the presentation. Great sound design. Ultimately, though, I do not recommend it. I think the first two episodes are really fantastic, and I'd love to hear, you know, after this, bless what you think of that initial dive into the world.

But I feel like, especially in episode three and kind of onward, the sort of, without giving things away, some of the core conflict. just feel a little too paper thin, I think, especially against some of the, like, really nice characterization and, like, storytelling that they do execute on. So for some context, we are O of K is basically about a group of people, and they have, to some degree, different jobs, like, some of them work together, but they're, like, creatives that are sort of burned out on their main creative job, and they want to do, like, something else creative. They want to make music. And I'm like, oh, yeah, this is so, like, me, right? It's like, who among us hasn't been, like, oh, instead of doing my work art. I want to do like my non-work art and like be even more creative and like escape

through that and like I'm sad and I'm broken LA and they're drinking boba all the time. I'm like, oh, it's like I was playing this with my family around, which was cool. The embargo even specified like, hey, if you have people in your house, like they can watch you play just as long as they don't like leave things. And they were like watching me play. And my brother made the joke of, oh, man, are they like recording our lives and just like putting it back on us? Like it does feel like so true in so many ways. But my main beef is that with the music stuff, it kind of, at one point, they introduced like the sort of villainish character who's like, oh, he's like not really about the arts, and it's like, it's just so heavy-handed that I'm like, man, you really didn't give any nuance to

this character. There's no reason that anyone would want to really be involved in what this character has going on. And yet you kind of create this central conflict within this emerging band that doesn't feel like it would really happen. They don't really give me reasons to buy into some of the core conflicts. And then storywise, it kind of goes where you would expect it to go. And then I don't think they, like, land that well. So by episode three, like partway through, I'm like, oh, man, this is kind of falling apart for me. And it did become a chore of just being like, do I want to give up or do I want to finish it? And ultimately, I chose to finish it out of kind of curiosity and then being able to talk to it about it with y'all and like people on the

internet and just see it through. But yeah, episode four just pick up a little bit. But it is very much a mixed bag game. And it's not one that I ultimately recommend for that reason. Yeah, it's one that reminds me a little bit of the artful escape, mainly in the, mainly in the sense that there is very little gameplay intervention going on. In terms of the actual game mechanics of it, a lot of it is you are setting texts to people that are in the lives of the characters that you're controlling. And a lot of it doesn't really feel like you're affecting anything with the choices. The choices more so feel like they're coloring in a book. And so, like, you are making these choices to kind of give, you know, your own

flare to what's happening in the story. But I don't think that really, as far as in episode one, right? And what seems to be the, what I assume to be the case, the story doesn't really change given any of the choices that you're making. Is that right, Janet? It's when you've played the full thing. Yeah, I would say so. And I feel like even the way they presented it, which I feel like for me,

and I'm blessed I'm curious what you felt about this. For me, I really had to like check myself a little bit and let that go because I never personally want to fault a game for not being like, oh, my choice is, like, the Life is Strange-esque Butterfly Effect. I feel like they, that's not what they, the story they wanted to tell. I still have beef with the story they told, but I did have to kind of let go of, okay, well, as much as I want to, you know, and that's, to their credit,

like I kind of got into the characters, least in those first few episodes. So I'm like, oh, man, I wish I could get in there and, like, fix their lives because they're like kind of a hot mess group. But I'm like, okay, it's not that kind of game. It's very much a game where you're, it's salt or pepper, but you're not really changing the meal here. And I'm of a similar mind where, you know, gameplay comes in all different flavors and sizes. And for me, for a game that seems to have, again, very little gameplay intervention in terms of

the choices you're making, it even parts where there are mechanical things happening, but do the mechanical things matter? Right. Like, that stuff I'm able to forgive or at least see through if there is story substance to back it up. And in episode one, the story that was there was a story that I thought was fine. but my big beef with it is that it didn't feel like it was building up any sort of plot yet. Oh, man.

If you're like episode one, just. Yeah, because like, by the time I finished it, I was like, oh, I guess the plot must be in episodes two through five. Because I finished now, I was like, nothing's really happening in this game. You're just hanging out with these characters who are the most millennial characters of all time. Right? Like this character, or this, this, this game feels so just like West Coast hipster 2022. to you. And I don't mean that in like a despairing way. I just mean that in like the sense of like, yeah, man, like these guys are going through it. Like they're like they're not happy with where the work lives are at. They want to be creatives. They want to make music. They want to do these things. And the way they text, I really liked the text conversations you have because the way they text each other back and forth are the same ways in which I text my friends. I was very impressed and surprised when I read the text. And I was like, I would send this text. I had the text I would write and send. But I think for me that's probably the biggest. compliment I can give the game is that it has this sense of, no, we understand what

adults in their, what, mid to late 20s are like, or their early 30s are like, but when you get into what the actual meat or plot of the story is in episode one, I feel like nothing happens. And then there is a cool segment that is a music video segment that does have a certain level of gameplay, right? At least interaction where you are going through the motions of this music video and there might be a part where you're collecting items. There might be another part where you're hopping over a thing, right? But it's all very, I don't know, one, I don't know if you can feel it. But then also, it's all very straightforward in vanilla. It's not anything too complicated. It's all there to give, I think, this flair to the music video that makes it feel like, it makes it feel like an interactive music video more for the gimmick than for the actual, oh, this is why it needs to be interactable. And so episode one was fine. Like, I didn't hate it. But I also, I don't feel compelled to go back. back and play the rest of the series.

Is there anything, Janet, you're talking about how these art people want to escape their kind of day job art to do art on the side and stuff? Do they ever kind of address the burnout that comes with that eventually? Well, the kind of setup is more of a shift. So you, again, without like spoilers, you have like two characters that are in the game dev scene, one who just does like some other form of work that you kind of learn about more later. Or like you kind of learn what they do.

I think they, to a degree, dabble in music. And then the other person, oh, God, I'm trying to remember what the other person's job was. But that's kind of where it's at, where it's like, you know, they end up sort of shifting over. And then it's like, how do I build my music career? Now, I'm going to give a big, too, like, suspension of disbelief where it's like, you think you ain't going to burn out on that music career, though? Because, you know, like, I think we all know that there is no, anyone that's done creative work knows that there is no such thing as a, you know, like a utopia, a creative utopia when it comes to trying to make money. Like as long as money's involved in your survival hinges on it, it will alter your relationship

with that art. That being said, that doesn't mean that if you're, you know, creative listening to this, that you can't switch from, you know, game dev to music or games media to game dev or, like, to painting or whatever. Like, I think people should pursue their joy. But it is a little bit amusing that, like, it's, oh, yeah, we're going to go and, like, make it as musicians. And like that's going to be not as bad as I guess when you don't have a boss.

So maybe it's like the freelance life, which, you know, that has its own fun. But there's a little bit of that there. What's up, Mike? Oh, no. Jan, I wanted you to keep going. I just wanted to build and ask a question. Of course, this game is not a Mike game at all, right? But there's been games like this that have captured me.

I look at the art style. I really like it. You guys have not sold me on the story. So I'm a little worried about that. But I think of a game like this. I think of Sinar Wild Hearts that the music. that the music captured me, right? And I fell in love with that because of the music and then really grew with the story.

Does this have some banging music that's going to maybe bring me in a little bit more than me sitting on the outside right now? I don't think so. I do actually really like the songs in the first two episodes. But ultimately, like, you know, at the risk of like, I don't want to, you know, disparage the work that they did by just comparing it to something else. But it did remind me a little bit of elements of Sinar or Wild Hearts, a game that is obviously way more of a music game than this one. But ultimately, like, I feel like they kind of

want to evoke some of that with like that music video stuff of like, and now we're transitioned into it. And I think like episode one and two are really seamless and kind of how they move into that space and a little playful in the interactivity. But like I remember in episode three, it just feels like hard cut. Oh, we're in a music video now. And the music video is kind of like a very like overly emotional thing for like something that I feel like isn't executed. that well so yeah it's just it just did not land for me um that being said i do know like a lot of people like when your reviews dropped today like a lot of people were into it but i was like i'm not feeling at all i don't i don't think gregg's had time to talk about on content but i've been texting him

because he's finished it and he's like yeah like i texted about episode one too i'm like oh yeah i'm like into this and he's like why don't you just like keep playing and let me know what you think and i think he knew what was waiting for me because we're the same person so yeah i figured like when you were talking about this in my head, because I know Greg was excited about this, and hearing you talk about it, I was like, oh, so Greg probably also hates this. Oh, no.

A little bit. Damn. I will say, I do, I think the art style was brought up before, but yeah, I like the art style as well. I think the game looks really good. And one thing I like that the game does is, before you hop in any chapter, it tells you how long exactly the chapter is by the minute.

Yeah. Tell you it's 52 minutes. Yeah, 60 minutes long. That's nice. And what surprised me even more is that, you know, I saw the first chapter was 52 minutes, I was like, oh, that's an episode of TV, a longer episode of TV, let me go through it. And halfway through, I needed to pause to do something.

I paused and the thing had like the, like the Netflix timeline feature of like, it pauses, it pauses and tells you that there's 23 minutes left. And I was like, oh, shit. Yeah. How much is left in each episode. It's a lot more akin to, in a way, like watching like a TV show, which is kind of how they couched it. They're like, join us on like watching this band kind of like take shape. And while there is interactivity, it definitely is like a lot more. of like a passive experience, which again, is not bad.

Like I enjoyed sitting there and just kind of, again, I was really in episode one and two, not all into three. And then four, like I was into that one. And then five I was in. And then the overall, when I look at it, when I kind of zoom out, and I'm like, yeah, this is very much a mixed bag for me. And that's why I lean on just like not really recommending it because I'm like, I didn't like it.

I see there's good stuff here, but this project did not land for me. We've kind of talked about it again, Janet, but you got me fired up because you and I, we talked about as dusk falls, right? And that was a game where, you know, that's not really my cup of tea, but I fell in love with the art style. And I think the storytelling really had me on the edge of my seat. Am I going to have a lot of choices like that? You guys kind of talked about the choices, but like, does it feel like as dusk falls or is it completely different from that?

No, it's not going to be what I'm viving with. It's completely different. Like, it's just a different kind of game. Again, I don't think the, like, my beef isn't that my choices don't matter because, like, it never said my choices would matter. You know what I mean? Like, it's very much just you adding. your own little like coloring and flavoring to the experience. So they have their story they want to tell and you can choose to maybe be, you know,

in a in a conversation a little bit more aggressive or a little bit more understanding. By the end of the day, like we're going to the same place in a way that's much more extreme than in a game like Life of Strange, which might like the first Life of Strange had like two endings, right? Like at the end of the day had two endings. But the stuff along the way had its variations. This is a lot more like it has its one core story. To my knowledge, I don't think there's like different endings, but I didn't check like the trophies or everything like that. This is a lot more like you get to add like choices to kind of just kind of pull you in a little bit more to what you're doing. So that does feel more like. Yes. It's more for you than for the story. Because like even life is strange like even though the like original life strange has two endings, there's plenty of other things you can affect right in terms of. Oh, this person is going to end up depressed. This person is going to like hurt this other person because of what choice you made. Right. Like there are all these different ripple effects that can happen in a lot of different choice games. And I don't think there's any ripple effect happening in, um, we are.

of OFK, aside from the, in the moment, you say this thing, you get this response, and that's it. Which it feels very much, it's, it's taking along the ride, right? It is, I, I do think the framing of a TV show is because of that, right? Like, they want you to feel like you're, you're watching a thing, right? This is their story, not necessarily yours. But yeah, also to that point, though, like, the story, I wish the story brought me in more. You know, like, Mike, you're asking questions about, could this be for me, right? I like, Sianara, I like, as this falls. And immediately, as you mentioned those other games, I'm like, yeah, Sainara.

When I look at Sayanara, I'm like, Sionara has, I think, more visual flair. Sionara has a better soundtrack. Sionara is more succinct, right? Like if we are OFK was two hours long, maybe I'd finish it. But it being this five-episode thing and each episode seems to be an hour and the last episode seeming to be a bit longer than that, too, I'm like, oh, man, I don't have that much time to spend in this thing that feels like it's trying to be somewhat experiential and somewhat narrative driven, but also light narrative at the same time. And I look at

as Des Falls. And as Das Falls, you know, it keeps you engaged. It has things that are happening every other moment that's like, oh, this character is this. Oh, this character showed up. Oh, man, the sheriff is doing what now? And like you're making choices in that, that feel, that effect was happening in the story. Yeah. But also, I think, have more gravity to them, even when your choices don't even matter for the story, right? Because you have so much context into what these stories mean or what these choices might mean to the characters internally, where there are certain choices I'm making We Are OofK episode one where I'm just like, I don't know, man, why do I care? Like, why do I care what they text back in the situation? I don't really know this person

like that yet. And again, this is just me speaking to episode one. Episode two through four, two through five is more Janice bag, so you can tell me if that continues. But from the impression I get of it, I'm like, ah, I don't know if I got to really keep. playing this thing. Now, Janet, as somebody who has finished it, what would you give it on the kind of funny review scale? Of course, our review scale is one, terrible, two, bad, three, okay, four, great, and then a five out of five is amazing. All right, I'm going to five, no, I was kidding. I'm going to go with three out of five, I think, okay. Not going to lie, I did think about the two, so take for that way you will, but ultimately, I do think there are like, reduced

and like, like I said, episode one and two, I was all in on this and really into it. I think ultimately, besides the fact that, to your credit, Blass, it does dip into the heavily millennial, sad creative vibes. I'm also like, hey, that shit's kind of real. So I'm like, this is, this is like my reality, right? Like, I feel like I've lived this. I've seen people live it. I totally get what they're going for.

But yeah, it just ultimately, I don't think they find as much nuance and intrigue within some of the characters they introduce. and within the overall like plot line that they have. And I also think some elements of the music video integration leaves a bit to be desired. So yeah, so I think it's just okay. That being said, it's not a game I like again or recommend, but that doesn't mean that I can't acknowledge the thing,

the layers where it's like almost getting there. And I think it's what kind of became so frustrating about the experience where I'm like, I was so into it. And then like three, I wasn't into it, but then four I was kind of into it again. And then I was like 65 minutes left of the game. like, this is just my day today. We're just going to grind this out and see where it takes us. But yeah, we'll see what comes of future projects. But yeah, not one that I will have on any end of the year really discussions ultimately. Now, I want to take us to the opposite end of the

indie spectrum to finalize this first segment of games cast and talk about Roller Drome. Barrett, you've gotten to get your hands on Roller Drome. Of course, we've done the preview. I did the preview with Tim. I've also talked to him about it on games daily, but I don't think you've gotten the chance to spill about your thoughts on Roller Drome. Where are you out with it? I just started it last night and have been kind of playing in the background

while we rewatch My Hero Academia and then also in the middle of today's stream, I was playing it a little bit more. I think from what I understand, there's 16 levels, and there's like four kind of like parts of a tournament that you're in, and each quarter-final semi and then final has four levels from what I understand. And so I think I'm like two thirds of

the way through. I think I'm halfway through the semifinals right now. And I'm enjoying it. I really dig it. I definitely understand the appeal that like you and Tim talked about and even Jake Baldino that we recorded screencast with yesterday before we started. He's like, guys, Roller Trump is, he was like going off and off about Roller Jump and how it seems to be his game of the year so far. And yeah, I'm digging it. I don't think I'm good at it. I'm going to be honest. It's a hard game.

It's not an easy game. I'll make that clear. But I like going into it. It definitely has that Tony Hawk appeal of, you have all these different objectives that you're trying to do. Classic Tony Hawk, pro skater, right? Of, you know, do this certain trick by this thing, you know, kill a guy while like doing a grind and stuff like that.

And yeah, I'm liking it so far. I still want to beat it. I don't know if I'll, like, go back to it to do all the, the objectives, but I'm definitely enjoying it. I like the context of the way the game contextualized some of the gameplay elements, right? You're, it's 2030. This roller drum thing is kind of like this sport that late stage capitalism has created to entertain people where you're actually like killing people in this arena. People are trying to kill you. At one point, you're fighting, or trying to like blow up like big machines that have people in.

them and it's it's insane and I like how they contextualize it there's some some stages in between the levels where you can like go around and read things and uh I think one point like right before like a almost like a boss fight situation where I was fighting this really giant like mac scorpion spider looking thing um it's like I saw like a like a like these little like postit notes that we're saying like oh got to like amp up the the difficulties we like your character name. I forget their name, but like... Kara Hassan. Yeah, we need to get her out and like we need to ramp up the difficulty for her so she doesn't get into the finals and stuff like that. And I really like how they kind of contextualize

the game getting harder as the sport goes on because they're trying to like kick you out essentially and get you murdered for entertainment value, which again, very cool and depressing kind of a gift wrapping around. A really fun Tony Hawk Pro Skater kind of game with guns. Yeah. Yeah, I'm right there with you. Like, I'm very surprised by, I guess not surprised. I'm blown away by this game. By the time I finished it, I was like, I can't believe they pulled off this concept of, yeah, Tony Hawk with guns, but then also doing it with flying colors, where the, like, not only is the game super fun to play, the art style is really great. And then also the places in which I would have, have notes for the game.

like the game finds ways to even make those moments not as like boring like for me the thing that comes to mind is the walking walking sim stuff between the levels where you know usually in a fast-paced action game like Roller Drome I'm like why am I walking? Why am I reading things? Why am I? But like those parts are so short and then like

there are some interesting tidbits in there where I'm like oh shit what is this like what's going on there like you say right like there's the the clues in there to kind of tell you what's going on with the competition and people who are scheming against the main character and all that. But then also they have these really cool transitions where you'll be hanging out in a locker room, you'll open a door and all of a sudden, like, you are skating and you're going into the next level.

Yeah. And always the title card hits, too, because you go through, you start the game with, like, kind of learning the mechanics and stuff. You've got to, like, complete this training to be able to even compete in the, in roller drum, right? And then it takes you to this first person segment. And like Blessing says, where you open a door in the first person segment, and then it transitions into you just skating in third person and then the title card hits with just Roller Drome and like big white letters. It's so tight. It's sick as hell.

How far are you from beating it? Probably another hour or probably another hour. I don't think the levels are super long. I'm definitely not hitting the target times. I'm definitely like taking my time each level because instead of like trying to beat it as fast as possible for each level I'm just trying to like get all like the check all the boxes essentially.

of, you know, get all the combo collectible coin things and all that stuff. So I've been taking my time with it, so it'll probably be like another hour. I don't know if I'll keep going back to play it. Like, this isn't like as... It's not a neon white for you. It's not neon white for me. That's what I'll say. But I am really enjoying my time with it.

And I think so far I would give it, like I would agree with, I think some... Maybe you guys were talking about it yesterday, but I think it's like a four out of five on the kind of funny scale. I think it's a great game. Yeah, I don't think I didn't give it a review score on the on KG even talked about it, but if I was to give one today, I think I would Well, it's actually tough because I could see the argument for giving it a five out of five I think it was a brazen game I think it does very little wrong. You know, if I had a if I had a nitpick and get into the flaws with it I think sometimes the combat can get a little bit messy and a little bit much to manage

Especially when there's a lot going on in the game asks you to do so much at the same time Yeah, it's like get a high score you've got and then you got like three snipers aiming at you and also like four rockets like being a shot at you at once and that and now there's flame throwers being shot at you from a distance as well it can be a lot on screen for sure it can be a lot on screen and i think it could be very intense on intensive on the player when it is yeah three sniper shots that are loaded at you that you have to keep on rolling you have to keep interrupting your combos um i think on a certain level it that can get a little less fun but i also think that that is then leading into more fun once you master that and once you are on the like top tier level of play i'm sure that becomes a

oh no man I just fucking dodge this way do this front flip do this trick grind this way and I'm sure it becomes just like you're straight up in a flow state but yeah aside from that though I think the style is dope I think the visual is dope I wish the soundtrack is better I think the soundtrack's very fine

I feel like it's a bit when you guys previewed the game and said the soundtrack was fine I didn't feel guilty where like I've been playing the game like silent so far just because I was playing it playing it while we were watching TV last night and then playing it while running the stream earlier so I didn't feel

super guilty with that. And yeah, I think it solidifies with a four out of five for me just because I'm not thinking about it when I'm away from it. It's not one of those things where it's like, unless like the last like level and the story blows up and crazy stuff. Like I don't really think this game is going to like stick with me in that kind of way. So that's why I like it's great at what it does. It does.

There's some cool concepts there, but it's not leaving me like, oh my God, this is. Yeah, this is a five out of five. Mike, you had a question. Oh, man, y'all is selling me on. this game. You're getting me super hyped up because this does seem like a game that I would really dig, right? Because I love Tony Hawk. I love skate when I think of like my fan Pedro and then mix with Wave Break, which is the Jet Ski Murder Fest type game that I really like. Now you got me sold. But then, of course, you just touched on the soundtrack, which was what I was going to ask about.

It doesn't sound like it's banging as much as I want to. But then I wanted to talk about gameplay and controls, right? I'm a really big nitpick when it comes to these roller skating skate games, right? We talked about scapebird and that just controls didn't feel quite right. It wasn't as tight as I needed it to be. When I talk about this, I want to know about the controls. How does that feel? How does that react? And are they tight enough?

And then also like, how deep blessing can I get into my trick Duffy? Right? Like are we talking like, I'm doing really dope tricks while murdering people. And also what is the blend of skating, shooting, tricking out? You know, like, is that blend good? Like, that's a lot of mechanics thrown into one here. So in terms of controls, I think it controls great. It controls like a Tony Hawk game.

So don't even think like skate, right? The control scheme legit is, you know, you're holding X to jump, right? You are pressing triangle to grind. Square is your trick button. And that is slightly different from Tony Hawk where Tony Hawk has your flip tricks and your grab tricks. It is all grab tricks in roller drone because you're roller skating, right? You're not roller, no, you're not skateboarding. And so like it is all grab tricks.

And you are doing that on square, which is a bit different from Tony Hawk. but it's not a hard than to get used to. In terms of the blend of everything, I think it works really well, mainly because it all feeds back with each other, where you want to keep doing tricks because that is how you reload. And so as you're shooting,

you don't have unlimited ammo, right? Your ammo is fairly limited. And so you want to keep doing tricks so that you can reload so that you can continue to shoot people. And the more you kill people, that's how you get your combo multiplier up on your tricks. And so, like you will have objectives,

like the Tony Hawk objectives that are, get 100,000 points on this session or whatever. And if you really want to get there, you got to do the tricks while killing people to get that combo meter up and like not have it stop, right? You got to do that continuously. And so I think it's a really good blend. I think it's a really good feedback loop both ways to make sure you're doing tricks and also killing people at the same time. And in terms of how deep the trick Duffy is, it's not honestly, it's not crazy deep. You do have variety, right?

Like, you have the, you know, the regular directions that you can point to for your, you know, your grabs, right, up, up, square, down square, all that stuff. You can then do doubles, right? Up, up, square, down, down square for additional tricks, you know, same with left and rights. And you can do that for the grinds, too. But it kind of ends there, at least from what I've seen in terms of the amount of tricks. It doesn't have a special meter, like what you have in Tony Hawk, where you're doing the worm on your skateboard or anything like that.

And then also, you know, I think overall there's just like not as many tricks. You don't have a book of tricks that you're customizing and all that stuff the way you can do in a Tony Hawk game. And I think that's necessary too just because you're also, you have to focus on killing a bunch of dudes with, you know, dual pistols and a shotgun and stuff like that. And so I think they, I think they found a good balance with it. And I think that's something that I think you will enjoy, Mike. And as in terms of tightness, it's nothing like scaper. I also played that game for 10 minutes. I was like, nope, uh, hard, nope.

And I was a little worried about this one just because I didn't know what the momentum was going to feel like and all that stuff. But I think it's got a good flow, uh, when you're, when you're in control and stuff like that. So, so. Well, now, let me steal five, five minutes really quick. I promise to go fast. I got to from five seconds to five minutes.

I got it. I got that guy called that switch. Thank you. Yeah. You saw it. I need to tell everybody really quick about inside the back room. This game has taken over my life. It's the only thing I can think about.

And it is a ton. of fun with it. Now you're probably saying yourself, Snowback Mike, what the hell is that? If you think, think of phasmophobia, but a little bit scarier and more puzzle solving, instead of capturing the ghosts and identifying the ghost, this game is a blast with friends. And it's a must play. It's $5 on Steam. And I really, really like this indie game.

And I'm someone who doesn't like horror games, but I've gotten good scares out of it. We've had good times with friends trying to puzzle solve. And it's creepy as all hell. So I just wanted to take a moment. really hype up the audience to check out this game because I can't stop thinking about this for the past three days since me and Nick started it and it's like this creepy like you took me in the back rooms

I was shaking to my pants I took you there I took you there you know what I threw you to the wolves I fucked that up blessing that's my fault right but like it is really cool you had him start up the game and then you took five minutes to be like let's do in game voice chat instead of talking on Discord that's what you did on the street

you brought me in the game you didn't nobody explain the rules to me so it's just me jumping him blind, but it felt like, it reminded me of slender man, right? Like a four-player slender man. And to give context, like, the idea of the backrooms is like a similar creepy pasta story where it's like people getting, Mike has only talked about like people getting clipped out of existence and being

somewhere in the back room, which is like this infinite, like, old office space that's like yellow and creepy. Yeah, it's really, yeah, it's terrifying in there. And they have four levels right now. We're getting deeper and deeper every single time. we stream it. But it is cool because there's a threat, right? Like the first couple of rooms are, hey, get your bearings, understand what the back rooms are, get lost in the maze of it all. And then the next rooms, they add like the monsters that are finding you in the back rooms

to murder you, right? And it's like, it's really fun to identify the monsters, run away from them, play kind of cat and mouse, but also, like I said, the puzzle solving is really cool in this one, right? Like me, Baron and Nick had a hell of a time trying to figure out what puzzle we need to do, what the map layout is. And I mean, blessing, I've told you this before. Janet, I have an obsession with learning maps and video games. There's some sort of passion I have about that from Grand Theft Auto as a kid to Call Duty Warzone.

I love finding out the map layout and running around and identifying certain areas and be like, oh, I'm here, I'm there. Like, once you figure out the back rooms, it's really fun to be like speed running through it like we did today. So I wanted to make sure everybody knew about this fun indie horror game right now on Steam. five bucks up to four players it's like phasmophobia four players together solving puzzles and trying to get out of the back room he's checking out it's dope hell yeah well now it's time to play a different game a game called bless who now of course bless who is the games cast post show segment where i conjure up

I'm feeling a lot more energetic. And also, I kind of feel like I was just maybe creating some bad habits sitting down at a desk all day. I would move my legs up. I'd sit underneath my legs on my chair. And eventually all that stuff just created really bad back pain for me. Choose from laminate, whiteboard, bamboo, solid wood, butcher block, or even custom solid wood or laminate options. Uplift desk won New York Times Wirecutters, Best Standing Desk from 2019 to 2022.

And now we're back. Barrett, play the jingle. Yo, what's up? Welcome to Bless Who the Gamescast Quiz Second. Hosted by yours, Truly, I'm joined today by Janet, Mike, and Barrett. Lady and gentlemen, are you ready for Kind of Feudy? Yeah. So excited.

I'm going to bring a lot of energy to this one. Like, we're on family food, just so you know. Oh, yeah. If you're going to be clapping, there's going to be cheering. Like, we're going to do that. Now, I will say we should probably pause the music because I don't know if Steve Harvey is going to be happy about us playing this in the main show.

We don't get tagged when it's on the back end, so I say we're fine. Okay, okay. Well, of course, I'm sure plenty of people out there haven't heard the rules. The rules are simple. I've surveyed over 1,300 members of the Kind of Funny audience on a number of prompts.

Each round, I'm going to read you a prompt and will ask each of you which answer that you think the kind of funny best friends gave the most. I've narrowed down to five answers per prompt. If you give a correct answer, the more popular the answer, the more points you will receive. For example, I might ask you to name an incredible open world RPG. If Janet says Skyrim and it's number one, they'll net her 50 points. If Mike says The Witcher and it's number two, that'll net him 40 points.

If Barrett says Fallout 3 and that's number 3, that'll net them 30 points and so on and so forth. It's round Robin. Each player will get a max of two guesses per round. Last place goals first after the first round. Whoever gets the most points after 10 rounds wins. contestants are you ready who because as soon as you said open world RPG

all of the open world RPGs left my mind and I was like panicked even though let me tell you Janet I don't know if you've done a kind of feudy but the kind of funny audience who likes to write in really likes to fuck with us and really like to write in I also seen a lot of ELs on TikTok on our TikTok page

so I'm like ready to be in one of these ELs and see that on my 4U page so let's go I'm ready to get hurt today number one name of video game franchise that Tim Gettys loves. Name a video game franchise

that Tim Gettys loves. We're going to start off with Janet. Mario. Janet says Mario. Janet. That's good answer. That'll let you 10 points. Whoa. 10 points? See what I'm telling you.

That's not good. That's not good, Janet. That's two bigger ones right now. No, it's not good. It's not good. Mike, you're up next. It's a tough one because there's two big ones here. And I need to know which one's the big I'm going between three. Oh, see, I have two in my mind.

I'm going to go with what hopefully is the biggest, but it might be second. Ash Bandicoot. Mike says Crash Bandicoot. Mike, that'll net you 50 points. That's our number one answer. That's a great answer, great answer. Barrett, you're up next.

Can you say it again? Name a video game franchise that Tim Getty's loves. Fuck. There's two answers that definitely have to be on here. I'll take my answer. Fuck. I'm going to go with my heart and I'm going to say Pokemon.

Barrett says Pokemon. Barrett, they'll net you 30 points. Fuck! He's a third most popular answer. He's a Pokemon man. He's a Pokemon man, folks. Janet, we're back to you. Also, when I was thinking of Pokemon,

I'm like, Tim either definitely is or definitely isn't. I hate it. I just think of the kind of funny liver. He wanted to sing the Pokemon theme song with everybody. Who doesn't want to sing it, though? That's true.

That's everybody. Janet says Tony Hawk. Great answer. Great answer. Tony Hawk is not on the list, though. I can't believe this. What? No.

Okay. Okay. Kind of funny, best friends. Clearly you haven't been listening at all. That's insane. You know what's fucked up is that Tim would have guessed Tony Hawk. Yeah, Tim would have guessed Tony Hawk.

That's crazy shit. I feel like, okay, whatever. Mike, you're up next. Man, Janet took my Tony Hawk. I'm glad. Sorry, Janet, you had to take that out for me. I was going to go for that one. That's crazy.

talk. So now I have to find another gaming franchise, not just like a single game, right? Because last year he was beating the drum for just one single game.

These are like franchises, bless. Yep, name a video game could be a franchise, Mike. Yeah, but like that is,

man, okay. What does Tim Getty's like? I don't want to keep it up too long. I'm going to go with, let's go with Halo and Master Chief. It's a tough guess,

but it might be on there. Mike says, Halo. Mike? Halo is not on the list. Oh, man, that's tough. We got one more from Barrett Courtney. This was the other one in my head, because I know it's the 40-point answer.

It's Super Smash Brothers. Great answer. Great answer. You got that exactly right. That'll let you 40 points. That was their second most popular answer. I know Tim Getty's. I know Tim.

Great answer. So in that round, Mike got 50 points with the Crash Bandicoot. Barrett got 40 points in Super Smash Brothers. Barrett got 30 points with Pokemon and Janet got 10 points with Mario. Barrett. Have you been tabulating points? Yeah, I'm tabulating points as well. Okay, where does that leave us?

Right now, I am in the lead with the 70 points. Mike is in second place with 50 points right behind me. And Janet is in third place with 10 points, but Janet do not be discouraged. Every week we learn it's anybody's game. I'm more of a second half player. Yeah. Of course, it is anybody's game because last place goes first. And so let's get into it.

Round number two. name a highly anticipated game that ended up flopping. Oh, name a highly anticipated game that ended up flopping, Janet. Cyberpunk. Janice is Cyropunk. Janet, that was our number one answer. That'll be 50 points. Damn.

Yes. Mike, you're next. Highly anticipated a game that ended up popping. Said Cyberpunk. I mean, I'm going to go with, like, my heart right now, and I'm going to speak the truth. ALo Infinite. Oh, Mike, the host of the X-Cast, says, I'm hard on him.

Mike, Halo Infinite, not on the list. Oh, Mike, you gotta take the L there, especially like you being the Xbox host. And just remember, this isn't the post show, Mike. Like, it's not just the Patreon's watching. You got the regular YouTube. I called it out.

They're going to be mad. They're going to be mad. Barrett, you're up next. Anticipated video game that flopped. And now flop, right, we think of like games that failed when they first came out. But do the kind of funny audience count games, that flops but then came back.

That came back from the grave. Why don't you just say it and find out? I'm going to say it and find out because it's the only game I can think of right now. I'm going to say no man sky. Oh, no man sky. Barrett says no man sky. Barrett. They'll let you 20 points.

That was our most popular answer. Very good guess. Good choice. I got one. Next up. Janet, we're back to you. Fallout 76. Damn it, Janet. Janet says Fallout 76.

Janet. Fall of 76 is not on the list. Okay, thanks, Janet. Thanks, Janet. What? I, maybe, you know what? We don't have time for, I will just, just keep going. It's okay.

Next up, Mike. Well, she took my Fallout 76, which is the correct answer, Janet. You are right, so I want you to know that. I'm going to go deep in my Duffy, and if you know me, you know the answer. That's who it outlaws and legends, baby. I don't know those highly exaggerated games. Mike has been outlaws and legends Mike says hood outlaws and legends Mike hood outlaws and legends is not on the list damn damn we got one more guests from the one and only

Barrett Courtney what games have been said so far bless Janet gave the 50 point answer with cyberpunk 2077 and of course Barrett gave the 20 point answer no man sky I said fallout which is not a list and then fallout wasn't on the list and then noise hood outlawed big time game big time game the name highly name a highly anticipated game that ended up flopping. Oh, man. This is rough. Listen.

I'm going to go... This is the last guess for this round, correct? Yeah, the last guess. Okay, so I'm just going to talk out loud then, because no one can go after me. Of like... Do I go with the recency bias here and go Mario Strikers? I'm thinking of a Mario sports game. Because, like, the sports games have been, like, big flops as of late.

I'm going to go with my guy. I'm going to go Mario Strikers. I'm going to say that. Barrett says Mario Strikers. Barrett, Mario Strikers is not on the list. Yeah, I'm Browler on the list. Recor is not. You guys got to think bigger, all right?

I understand that this is the main show. Me and Mike, Rickor and Hood Outlaws, okay? Yeah, we're covering, all right? And Mario, I understand this is the main show. I understand you're nervous. But guys, don't over thinking. It just came out. You guys are overthinking it.

Okay, okay, okay. Listen, what is we got? You guys should have never looked forward to Mario Shangers. First of all, I realized that, number one, I didn't give you the last one for name of video game franchise with Tim Getty's love. The one that one that guys, missed was Sonic Sonic the fuck that was the 20 point answer yeah and also Tony Hawk was

six six votes on in the mark I mean I guess he's dressed as Sonic in the oh yeah didn't get his left Sonic he has the Sonic he has the Sonic in the freaking opening I should have probably gotten that that's only I see I see I see I think the Sonic that at one point in their life you know I mean I mean that's fair the ones that you guys missed for name a highly anticipated game that ended up flopping at 10 points you would have guessed Mass Effect Indromeda oh oh At 30 points, you would have guessed Marvel's Avengers. Oh.

And at 40 points, you would have guessed Anthem. Oh. That flopped so hard, I didn't even remember that game. Yeah. Forgot that game is. Honestly, fair. Honestly fair. With that one, Barrett, or sorry, Janet got 50 points with

Cympunk 277, which brings her up to 60 points. And Barrett got 20 points with No Man Sky, which brings him up to 90 points. Number three. Name a gaming franchise that, starts with the letter J. Name a gaming franchise that starts with the letter

J. We're going to start off with Mike. Shit. Okay, that's not good. That's not what I wanted. With the letter J, okay, I have two in my mind right now. I think of the kind of funny

audience, and I think one is probably not going to get brought up, so I'm going to go with Jade Empire. Mike says Jade Empire. Mike, Jade Empire, will net you zero points. That is not honest. Damn, that's tough.

Day is tough. Oh, damn. No, wait. Okay, no mind. Janet Garcia, you're up next. Just dance. Janet says just dance. Janet,

now on you, 30 points. That's our third most popular answer. Barrett, you're up next. Look at me, blessing. Look at me, blessing. I mean full screen. I'm looking at you.

I want you to look at you eyes. Just for like a second. Just for like a second. Just so you know, you're full screen. You can't see the reflection. of anything off my glasses. Yeah, I know.

No, I'm not looking at you full screen. You're looking at me full screen. Oh, yeah. I'm just, I just want to look in your eyes just so I can read off of you. And I'm going to go with Jet Force Gemini. Barrett says Jet Force Gemini. Barrett, that'll let you 10 points. That was our fifth most popular answer.

I knew it felt a little too obscure, but I know people know you love that game. So that was one I thought of. That was a good call. Mike, we're back to you. Okay, now I circle back to two. and they're probably low on the list. And my issue, I can't think of anything J's in my mind right now that's coming to me. Okay, I'll give you a hint.

I'm thinking anime or I'm thinking dinosaurs. And so my issue right now is I'm going to go with Jurassic World Evolution. Mike says Jurassic World Evolution. Mike, it's not on the list. Damn it. We're back to Janet. Just cause. Damn it, Janet.

You're so good at this. Janet says just cause. Janet, that'll let you 40 points. That was the second most popular answer. I got to win this round because my name says a J. That's my Star Wars order. Barrett,

you're a final answer. Say jump force. No. I'm not saying jump force. Wait, okay, so which slots have been taken so far, Blessing? So far at 40 points, Janet gets just cause. And then at 30 points, Janet guessed just dance.

And then, of course, at 10 points, you guessed Jet Force Gemini. So, yeah, your 20-point answer and our 50-point answer left. See, there's a chance that the Jump Force Gemini answer, or the... Jump Force is 20 points. There's no shot. It's the 50-point answer. And I just feel really dumb that I can't think of, like,

what is the obvious answer that starts with Jay? And I feel like a fucking idiot right now. And Janet just got it. Janet just got it. Yeah. I can think of one that starts with K blessing. This name's Nack. Oh.

Ooh. Yeah, Jan's covering her face. Yeah, I figured out too. I'm the last guess. There's no more guessing after this. Just the thing. Why do y'all have so much, am I supposed to be editorializing this?

Like, let's just throw out the words and walk away. Show some words out, baby. I'm just like trying to, you know, fill time here. It's my brain things. I'm going to go with Mike's suggestion, jump force. Oh, you should have. like the Janet's face. Yeah.

Ferris said jump force. Jump force is not on the list. Is it a Jedi fall in order? Oh, I was gonna go with Jack and Dexter or Jack box. Oh, my God. That's good. I didn't even think of that.

I want you know, I thought it's your favorite game. How? Oh, you thought it was Daxter and that's so funny. Daxter and Jack. Oh, my God. Just Dance, Just Cause in Jupiter. That's it.

Jupiter's not a game, though. I don't think. Guess what? If any of you guys guessed Jack and Daxter, that would have netted you 50 points. Fuck. And our 20-point answer? That's really embarrassing.

Our 20-point answer was Jet Set Radio. Jet Set Radio. Yeah. Wow. So with that one, Janet got 40 points and then 30 points with just cause and just dance. And then Barrett got 10 points with Jet Force Gemini. Barrett, where does that leave our score? Right now, Janet has made it up.

It is now in the lead with 130 points. And I'm not too far behind in second place at 100 points. And Mike, still in the double digits in third place at 50 points. Let me tell you, I love playing this game with Mike so much, because Mike will find answers that I would never have even thought of. Mike is gifted at finding the worst possible answers to this game. But also like, hey, listen, maybe it'll work out for you. Maybe this is how you win.

I can't let Jennifer on the list, though. Because it's Star Wars, yeah. Star Wars. Yeah, Star Wars. Yeah. Number four, name the, best 3D platformer franchise, not made by Nintendo. Name the best 3D platformer franchise not made by Nintendo. Mike, you're up first.

Oh, I get to go first. Oh, this is great. Okay, I actually, we talk a lot about it on the X-Cast, so I should be ready to rock and roll. Let's go with Banjo and Kazui. Mike says Banjo-Kazooey. Mike, that'll let you 30 points. That was our third most popular answer. Tomlin.

Not bad, Michael. Great start. Barrett. It's on you. I wouldn't classify this as a, 3D platformer. But knowing our audience, I feel like they most likely wrote this

in, and I will say Ratchet and Clank. God damn it. Barrett says Ratchet and Clank. Barrett. Now let you 40 points. That was our second most popular answer. Good one. Interesting. You don't classify that as a 3D platform? I think of it more as a shooter. Oh, yeah, no. I see it as a hybrid.

Yeah. But I can see the argument. Can you repeat the question? Name the best 3D platformer franchise that is not made by Nintendo. So Janet is your turn. You know what? I'm gonna roll the dice and say Jack and Daxter. Oh, Janet said Jack and Daxter. Janet, Jack and Daxter is not on the list.

Oh, the disrespect. This is, okay. Because only really the first game is a 3D platform, you think. All of them. Just like you have a guns and me. It's not three. And then the second game, they're like, let's just make GTA for whatever reason and not stick with the formula of the great first game and just make it entirely different game.

If I spend time on all the ways I've been pain to. We will run over time. I have three really great ones. I'm going to go with the correct one, but I'm going to give you to a little hint. It starts with a G, and it's a glove. Glover. But now that's not my answer blessing. I'm not thinking of them with Glover.

And that's for the old school fan. I'm going to go with Little Big Planet Sack Boys Adventure area. Mike says Little Big Planet slash Sack Boys Adventure. I'll go ahead and say that neither of those are on the list. You suck everybody. That's a little wild. A little big plan answer. I should have said Glover.

The only, it's a 2D platformer. The only 3D platform in a little big planet would be sackboyed big adventure. Which isn't a little big planet technically. Yeah. Yeah. And also like who's picking,

I love sagway. No one played to that game. That's a good. No way's going to pick sackboy a big adventure. Five people will play that game and it's blessing and everybody that Janet lives with. That's all who played sack boys. Yeah.

And I think. And they're going to keep playing until we hit the credits, okay? Sure. Next up, Mike just went, right? Yeah. Yeah. Barrett, you're up next. Say it again.

Name the best 3D platformer franchise not made by Nintendo. Ratch and Clank and Banjo have been the ones given for 40 and 30 points. Mike's pointing at something, but like he shouldn't be because I think he has another guess or maybe, no, that was the second guess, I think. Yeah, that was. I can't see what he's pointing. I think Mike's trying to probably pointing at Glover. He's one of a Glover probably

How's the Glover? See, in my heart of hearts There's an answer That should be in here But I don't trust The kind of funny audience To write in with that I'm gonna

See if Jack and Dexter was on here I don't think that other franchise Is gonna be a honey or either I'm gonna go with Astrobot Barrett says Astrobot Barrett Astrobat

Will net you 10 points That was our fifth most popular answer I'll take it. You're our final answer. I'm trying to generously say it's a series. When one of the games is debatably not a game, but I'm going to go crash. Oh, Janet says crash.

Janet, Crash Bandicoot was our number one answer. That'll make you 50 points. Oh, shit. I'm sorry. It's my favorite genre and I'm like, I'm not going to get any points. It's so embarrassing. I was surprised nobody led with Crash. I thought Crash would have been an early one.

He was so 2D for a while. I mean, he was like 3D, I guess. But like, I don't know. I don't think of the design. Crash ain't really hitting that heart. More than that's a little surprising. I don't, I'm not a fan of the crash games.

I think they're mid. I like crash. But that's a totally important. Apparently, he fucking loves crash, okay? Also, for everyone in the audience and you, when you're on this side, bless, you're in the chair, your mind just becomes blank the moment you end the question. And I had answers.

You also doubt yourself too. Because, like, Psychonauts should be on this list, but it's not. Conquers Bad Fur Day? You just got a, Like Cooper on there? Because I wonder, like, everyone was standing. If Jack and Dexter was not on, Sly Cooper, no shot.

The one that you guys missed out on, the one that you all missed out on for our 20-point answer was Spiro the Dragon. Okay. Yo, Spiro. Spiro is fire. No, Spiro's fire. That's where the audience got it right. And you tell me that that's one of the best platformers not made by Nintendo.

Okay, well, no, I wouldn't say that. But I also, like, I wouldn't say that about crap. You got to go with, you got to go popular. You got to go with the kind of funny audience popularity. And specifically people who all. also follow blessing to see this tweet. What do you ask? These are, these, this is an audience of gamers.

And you got to, you got, you just got to clear your mind, all right? Clear your mind? Think about like when IGN list would say. That's what these answers are. That's not true. With that one, Janet got 50 points of Crash Bandicoot. Barrett got 40 points with, with Ratchet and Clank, which apparently is in the platform. Mike, it got 30 points of Banjikazooie, and then Janet got 10 points with Astrobot.

Barrett, where does that leave us to score? I didn't pick Astrobot. I did. Barrett got 10 points with Astrobat. Janet is still in the lead with 180 points, but I'm still right behind her in second place with 150 points. Mike is slowly making his way up to triple digits with 80 points. Anybody's game still.

Yeah. This is shots fall. Number five, name a game that allows you to pilot a mech. Name a game that allows you to pilot a mech. For this one, I will accept franchise names. Mike, you're up first. Sweet, I get to go first, that. Rocks.

Titan fall. Mike says Titanfall Mike, now that's our number one answer and that does include Titanfall and Titanfall too I bundled those one thing Next up Barrett Courtney

So here's the problem Mike I'm looking up at you looking like I'm talking to you in the show Is that like Titan Falls the only fucking answer I have in my brain right now and I can't think of anything else Where you're inside a mech fucking Christ

name a game that allows you to pilot a mech so far titan fall has been the answer options options um see like if there's a series under this IP I wouldn't even know but like mm no I'm just gonna say Power Rangers as an IP and like at one point you you do the the big giant robot thing but yeah that's all yeah the Megasord yeah uh Barrett says power Rangers power Rangers power Rangers not on the list. Yeah. Janet Garcia.

Oh my God. I am so frustrated because I'm trying to remember it's like the name of the game you played where they have to be naked to operate the mecks or whatever. Don't remember the name.

Don't tell her. Don't tell her. But so I'm just going to be like, you know, I've played games for a lot of years and I'm thinking about what, oh my God, and you talked about it for so long.

That's why you're like to listen when I talk. I did because I remember that they had to be naked because of some bullshit reason. But what was the name of the game? And it has like all that anime energy to it. But it's not, I don't think it's near. It's not near. It's the other one.

I don't remember the name of the game. The name, I shouldn't have said anything, actually, because I don't think I'm going to remember it. And then someone's going to take my answer. But, oh, man. I love that people are just screaming at their iPods right now. They're screaming at their iPhone.

Why do they keep listening to the show on an iPod blessing? Somebody, because they're old school like me. I fucking love the iPhone. That's where podcast came from. I want to say, okay, so it's not near, but it's the other one. I don't think they're that related.

Is it 13 Sentinels? Fuck! 13 Sentinels is the name of the game. Also, can we skip later if we don't have another answer? Because I don't think I know any other. Yeah, you can skip you one. 13 sedentals will net you zero points. That is not on the list.

Y'all, I, oh, you know what? I don't know shit about mecks anyway, so that is fair. I thought that was a shoe in when she brought it up. What the fuck? Mike, we're back to you. I'm going to go with one with the name of the game in it. Mech Warrior, please. Mike says Mech Warrior.

Mike, Mech Warrior will net you 30 points. I was the third most popular answer. Thank you. Mike is like making a secret comeback. Mike, I swear to God, Mike memes for the first half of the show so we can come back in the second half.

Barrett, we're back to you. Mike, I'm looking back up at you again. There we go, bro. I had Mech Warrior in my fucking head. I was like, that's not a real series. You're just making that fucking shit up. I'm so angry at myself right now. What has actually been said so far, blessing?

Titanfall has been said by Mike, and then Mech Warrior has also been said by Mike. What the shit? And then I said 13 sentinels. It's not on the list. I'm the correct. Mex. Mex. I also might start timing you guys because Janet has an hard out at five.

Yeah. We're halfway through the segment. I abstain. Okay. Barrett's going to skip. Janet, do you have a final guess? Do Transformers count as mex? Ooh.

I think mex technically you have to be piloting. Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna say transformers anyway, so because maybe people don't know what a mech is. It's true. Janet says Transformers. Transformers, not on the list.

The ones that you guys missed, at 10 points, you would have guessed Zone of the Enders. At 20 points, you would have guessed Mechusole. That was an Xbox classic

back in the day, I'm sure. That was another one I was going to guess, yep. Yeah. 40 points, I'm shocked. None of you guys got this one.

Armored Core. Core. That was the one I was looking for. All these games, never played. Same. That one has the big controller everybody talks about to this game.

I didn't even play the game that I said. blessing played this game. With that, Mike got 30 points with the Mech Warrior. Mike got 50 points with Titan Falls, that will bring Mike all the way up to 160. Second place so far.

Janet right now is in the lead still with 180 points. Barrett is trailing right closely behind with 150 points. We're now in the second half of the game. Number six, fill in the blank. Tom Clancy's blank. Fill in the blank. Tom Clancy's blank.

We're going to start off with Barrett Courtney. Ghost Recon. Barrett says Ghost Recon, Barrett. That'll let you 30 points. That was our third most popular answer. Mike. Okay. Oh, man, I'm really good at this one.

I know. I'm in my Duffy now, everybody. So I'm going to go with Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Seed for my starting one. Mike says Tom Clancy's Rainbow Sixth Siege. Mike, that'll net you 50 points. That was our number one answer. For that one, I'm just including Rainbow Six.

Okay. Rainbow Six is that one. So, okay. Janet, you're up next. Tom Clancy's splintercell. Jack. Janet says Tom Clancy's Splintercell. Janet, that was our number two answer.

That'll let you 40 points. Hey, good, Janet. Barrett, we're back to you. It's a race now, everybody. Yeah, now we're cooking. Yeah, everybody's cooking. You guys got all warm-duff. And the time is, like, biting you on the butt, so you got a bus.

Yeah. Splinter cell. What was the one that Mike said? Rainbow Six siege. There's two more answers left, the 20-point answer and the 10-point answer. We've gotten the first half jitters out the way. Our cooking. You said that Rainbow Six was just Rainbow Six.

Rainbow Six is all-encompassing, yeah, Rainbow Six. What about Ghost Recon? You know what? I'll say, yeah, same for Ghost Recons, same for Splinter Self. Mike's got a smile. This is my category. There's the only three I know. Oh, bear is going to skip.

And now we're on to Mike. You add it on the tip of your tongue, bear it's the division. Mike says division and Mike is exactly right. That'll need you 20 points. That was our fourth most popular answer. Janet, we're closing on you. Fill in the blank. Is break point?

Is that your answer? Yeah. Janice says breakpoint. Breakpoint is not on the list. That is, in fact, a ghost recon game. Okay. The one of the guys missed. I didn't check because I didn't know anything else anyway.

so. Advanced Warfighter. No, not advanced warfire. Hawks. Oh, wow. Tom Clancy's Hawks was our number, was our 10 point answer. That was followed closely by Tom Clancy's endgame, which I appreciate people who wrote it in game.

Endgame was like, that was my shit. Like, I didn't even like that kind of game, but the fact that it was you could speak into your speaker on PS3 and command your troops. That was gimmicky enough for me that I loved it. With that one, Mike, it got 50 points with Rainbow 6. Janet got 40 points to Splinter Cell. Barrett got 30 points of Ghost Recon

and Mike got 20 points in division. Barrett, where does that leave us to score? Right now, Mike is in first place with 230 points. Right behind him is one. Janet Garcia with 220 points, 10 point difference, and I have fallen way behind how the Mighty have fallen in third place

at 180 points, but still anybody's game. This is, Mike has had a fantastic come up. A fantastic goal. I don't know Mike News. so much about Max or that we knew so little. I guess I didn't know. Max and Tom Clancy. That's all that's in his brain.

That is seen very ex-casty to know about Mike's and Tom Quincy, but I like the fine dining and breathing reference Barrett. Thank you. Number seven, name a horror game where you can play in first person perspective. Name, all right, let me rephrase that actually

because I slightly fucked that up. Name a horror game where you play in first person perspective. We're going to start off with Barrett. There's two. managers here, Mike. And I told you about one today. We did it. We were into with back rooms. That's a hot game right now. It's not in the back rooms, Mike. No one to do about that until Monday, Michael. Okay. I'm going to go with the one I think that is more the cult classic. I'm going to go with PT. God damn it.

Barrett says PT. Barrett. I don't eat 30 points. I was that third most popular answer. Oh my God. That's good choice. That should be number one. No, no, no. That's a good choice. choice. Shut up, Mike. Janet, you're up next. Resident Evil 7. Janice says Resident Evil 7. Janet, that was our number one answer.

That's going to get you 50 points. That was the other answer. Fucking Christ. Next up. Blessing, does that account for the other Resident Evil's as well? It does not. Okay, so I can say Resident Evil Village then, right? Cool, there goes my next day.

You can. Is that the guess you're going with? Yes, that is going to be the one. Mike says Resident Evil Village, Mike, they'll let you 20 points. Oh, wow. Okay. Oh, wow. And we're back to Barrett.

Okay, so, ooh. So PT was the third most popular answer. Correct. FF7. Resident Evil 7 was the... Resident Evil's top one. Number one. So there's a two in there that we don't have yet.

I'm surprised Village wasn't in there because of the reason C bias. There's a second most popular answer and a fifth most popular answer that nobody has guessed yet. I'm going to guess, ooh. Hmm. There's two. There's one that's more, they're both kind of, fuck,

fuck. The clock's a ticking. I don't want to ask Mike a question about a certain game that was mentioned earlier as well. Like in the back rooms, Mike, do you think that like

the puzzles are like really getting people in? I'm going to guess alien isolation. Oh. Barrett guessed alien isolation. Barrett, that is not on the list. Fuck you kind of funny audience. Come on.

Sadly, because I'm right there with you. I would have thought alien isolation would have been high out there. but no, it is not on the list. Janet, you're up next. Am I the last one? You're the last.

I'm after you. Oh, okay. Blair, which. Oh. Janet says Blair witch. You're wild. Not on the list. Mike, you're our final guess.

Well, you too. Thank you so much for this one. Of course, I would go with phasmophobia, but I'm going to go with the correct one, which is Outlast. Everybody knows Outlast. Mike, that is the correct answer. Outlast is the second most popular answer. That'll let you 40.

points. Was amnesia on the list at all? Amnesia was the fifth answer. Fuck! The 10 point answer. I could have gotten a little bit. Janet got 50 points with the RE7. Mike got 40 points to the Outlast.

Barrett got 30 with PT. Mike got 20 with RE Village and nobody got Amnesia of the Dark Descent. Barrett, where does that leave us in score? Mike is still in the lead with 290 points. Janet is still right behind him with 270 points and I am just falling behind in third place at 210 points. Now, Jan, I know you got a hard out. How hard is that out? It's pretty hard.

Okay. Let's just, let's keep it snappy. Let's just keep going. Like, I think we can make it. Let's keep a snappy. I'll leave early. We'll fast round it. Number eight, name a game that you associate with the second dreamcast.

We're going to start with Barrett. Sonic. Oh, no, I have to leave. Bear is Sonic Barrett. That is our 50 point answer. Good answer. Good answer. Next up Janet.

Oh no, I don't have time either to think about it. I just, oh man, I'm just going to have to pass. Maybe I'll think of something that's going to come back. I don't know anything from the dream cast. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Crazy taxi. Mike, that is our second most popular answer. That'll get you 40 points.

Bearer back to you. Name a game that you associate with the Sega Dreamcast. I feel like I'm wrong in saying this, but Jet Set Radio. Barrett, they'll let you 20 points. That's our fourth most popular answer. Janet, we're back to you. What were the answer so far? Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, and Jet Set Radio.

You got a 30 point answer and a 10 points. Oh, my God. I don't know the Dreamcast at all. I just know that I just know what it looks like. I've never fucking played it. I have no idea. I played Crazy Taxi on my fucking GameCube. And honestly, Janet, like I'm right there with you.

Jet Set Radio was totally a shot in the dark because at the same time, I was like, that's an N-64 game. Mike, do you have one more guess? I'm like these two. My one more guess, I'm just going to throw it out there. It's going to be NBA 2K, because that's where it started. NBA 2K. Very good guess, though, not on the list.

The one that you guys missed, or the ones that you guys missed at 10 points, Power Stone, a very popular fighting game there. And then also at 30 points, Shenmu. Ah, damn. Yeah. Somewhere in my mind, I knew that. with that, Barrett got 50 points of Sonic and then 20 points with Jet Set

and then Mike got 40 points with Crazy Taxi. Barrett, score. Mike is still in first place with 330 points and getting really far ahead of us because I'm in second place, but only at 280. And Janet is right behind me in third place with 270 points. Number nine. We got two more left.

Number nine, name a type of Pokemon. Name a type of Pokemon. Janet, you're up first. Oh, like when you say type, do you mean like the types? Name the type of hope. Okay. Yeah, it's not up to him. I will say, I will say this is one that I did kind of take some liberty with because

people were riding on which Harzard and I was like, you guys are. Okay, um, water. No, yeah, water. I already said it. So Janet says water. Janet, that is our second most popular answer. That'll let you 40 points. Fucked up.

Uh, next up. I know what the first one is. Janet. Because you're all fucking basing up. Of course. Barrett says fire. Barrett, that was our number one answer.

They'll net you 50 points. Michael. Well, that sucks for Mike. So I'm going to go with the grass type as always. I am. I'm the bulbosaur of this group. Mike says grass. Mike, that'll net you 30 points.

That's our third most popular answer. Now we're getting some fun. Now we go deep. Janet, we're back to you. Okay. Fuck. I feel like y'all are kind of basic. So I'm going to go.

I'm going to go fighting. Oh, okay. Janet says fighting. Janet, fighting is not on the list. Damn. That's too basic. Barrett. Electric.

Back to you. Barrett says electric. Electric is not on the list. What? Wow, that's crazy. Pikachu! Pikachu's electric Pokemon. Let me tell you,

more people wrote in saying Pikachu than Electric. It was very upsetting. People don't know how to read. Read the prompts, everybody. So now we get to have some fun. Mike, you're our last one. I like to go to the Evilutions.

That's where I work off of right there. And I go, oh, which one do people like? But I'm actually going to go a little bit different. like the ghost so I'm gonna go with the ghost type Pokemon ghost type Mike says ghost Mike that is our fourth most popular answer that I don't let you 20 points was poison on there because I was gonna say that

but I thought it was too like maybe grounds the last one that none of you guys got was Ferry Ferry I would have gone with that was my other one this is one that I kept the votes look for it because I thought it was fascinating Fire got 312 votes water got 205 votes grass got 118 votes

Ghost got 75 votes and Ferry got 58 votes I thought it was interesting With that one, Barrett got 50 points with fire, Janet got 40 points of water, Mike got 30 points with grass, and then 20 points with Ghost. Barrett, where does that leave our final score going into the final prompt?

Mike is still in first place with 380 points. I am in second with 330, and Janet is in last with 310. It's still anybody's game if we're in the same hundreds at this point. You said you have 330? Yes. All right. Our final one.

name a video game genre that kind of funny hates we'll start with Janet Garcia a genre that kind of funny hates I feel like we have representation from everything I'm going to go give me a second I know I'm the one that has to leave but

Not on the list. I didn't know that was the name for him. Okay. Cool, cool, cool, cool. I learned something today. There you go. Barrett, you're up next. Visual novel.

I mean, I got a couple of good ones right now, but I'm going to go with JRPGs. I think a lot of people never say, hey, we never talk about those. Mike says JRPGs. GRPs will net you 10 points. That was the fifth most popular answer. But I'm shocked that's so low. So now I'm like,

I'm shocked it's on the list. Yeah. I know the next one. A lot of these, I was looking at the thing overall, I'll shock by what people were riding into. Next up, Janet. Okay.

Okay. What would people say? I don't know. I feel like we, like genuinely, I feel like we talk about pretty much all games. So I'm going to go. with I'm just going to skip
