Yo, what's up? Welcome to Game Showdown.

I'm your host, Blessing, Adioje Jr. I'm joined by three contestants representing three teams. We got Tim Geddy's representing Team Blue. Let's go. You never know when it will be used. I know. I have a plan. You know?

Oh, yeah. Oh. Yeah. Oh. I'm not going to say the words that will make my plan happen, but I do have a plan. All right. Of course, you also have a special guest. I don't know.

Ray Narvaez representing Team Purple. I've been told, thank you for having me. I've been told this team has not had a lot of success and there's a lot of pressure on me to try and win. No promises, but I'm excited to be here. Well, funny enough, you're coming off of one of the biggest successes of Team Purple. The last three weeks, we did our insert coin to continue game, which is our brand new game that we've introduced for this season.

And Team Purple was able to come out of that with three more stars for this. Oh, more than both Team Blue and Team Purple. They earn more on that show, but they don't have more than we do. Sure. The comeback. Yeah, that's true. It starts here. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I just start here. Ray, are you familiar with what's going on with this briefcase? I am. Oh, with the briefcase? No.

I was asking Tim what's in it. I'm just trying to learn the lore. There's so many props here. Yeah. There's a sure is a lot. Yeah. Whoever he is the season champion because he has that belt. Three back to back to back to back season champion.

Whoever has the stars at any moment can cash this in to challenge whoever they want to get some of their stars. whoever has the most stars at the end of the season gets the belts. You can catch you in it for one. I have a Coca-Cola. That's what I have. That's what I'm rocking, not sponsored. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Over there, of course, is the captain of Team Orange,

Greg Miller. Hello, blessing. How are you doing well? How are you doing? I'm excellent. Of course, my last appearance on this show, I said let it be known. I had the equalizer.

All right. Tim's got stars in the bank. I deserved it. We all know. Oh, some. I have the most fun with it. Everybody knows. So I'd like to introduce you all

to something brand new, all right? This is the doomsday device. Was I supposed to bring a briefcase that nobody told me? No, no, no, no, no. This is the doomsday device. Sorry, this is my briefcase that I'm carrying with me.

And I need to have a one-on-one conversation with Tim, okay? With me. Tim, I love you. I'll do your most. All right, I love you so much. You know that. You're my brother, your family.

That's how we are. Mm-hmm. I need you to cast. your briefcase in on team purple. Okay, I don't care when you do it, but I know, obviously, I know how you are. I know what that means. You feel like you've been wronged before by me.

By the way, right. Yeah. That should be mine. It was my own doing. Due to Greg's shenanigans, I ended up on team orange. Blue's my favorite color. Sure.

I traded teams back when I was dominating. Okay. So he ended up winning based off my efforts. Oh, stolen valor? I catched in the stars in the bank, too, and got like three stars. He was interviewing some developer. I don't remember.

Rough. All right. So tell me about this doomsday device. Then first of all, you're talking to me. Why aren't you talking to bless? Because it doesn't have to do with bless. Bless.

I love you. You host a great show. I don't know anything about this. This has. But are you going to allow this? I mean, I don't know what it is. I can't.

We are both equally confused. I've been here for two minutes. There's boxing glove in there that like springs out. I know. I know, I know, Tim, that you think now that you have stars in the bank. You should cash in on me,

right? especially because I'm so close now. I got two stars. I'm one behind right now. That's a huge move for me, right? I understand in paper, right? That makes a lot of sense. But I'm telling you,

you have to cash it in on Team Purple, right? Because I don't want to use what's in here. I don't want to use the doomsday device on you. So you're only using it if I go against you. This is nuclear war. Yes. If I go against him. No problem.

You're not using it on him. I'm happy to be here. Sadly, the doomsy device only works on you. That is terrifying. What you need to know. This is a threat. I feel like this should not be allowed. I mean,

that's not in my jurisdiction. Oh, my God. That seems like a company problem. I love you. I gave a great speech. I mean, the best speech you've ever seen at your wedding. You know what I mean? You go watch it.

Kind of funny right now. You've ever seen that. Best speech. I love you. You know that. We're family. K-fabe aside. You know what I mean?

If I have to open this. This is the nicest he's ever been to be on this show. This is like a mad lib. He's just making it up as he goes. I have to open this briefcase. our relationship will never be the same. Okay. And I,

it's, you won't be physically harmed, all right? But there will be an emotional toll. There will be a monetary toll. And we will, we will have to talk off air and figure it out together. Because I'm not proud of what's in the briefcase.

And I don't want to do it. I will just say this. The best friends are everywhere. And this will not end well if you ever cashed you. So just don't. I don't want to use it. I don't want to do this to you. I don't want to use it.

it. Okay. There are a call to action in there? Like, what's going on? I hope you never have to know. If it gets cash in on me and I have to stand up and make the phone call and then come back here and open the thing. That's a lot for you to consider, Tim. I'm scared for you.

It's not going to be good. That's a whole lot for you to consider, Tim. While you think about that, let's get started with today's trivia. We're going to start off with the trivia question worth 10 points and the chance to start off strong. Contestants buzz in to answer. The developers of 2010's Splinter

Cell Conviction, drew inspiration from popular film and television while designing the game. They often mentioned the three J.Bs as reference. Jason Bourne, Jack Bauer, and which third J.B. They often mentioned three J.Bs as reference. Jason Born, Jack Bauer, and which third B inspired Splinter Cell Conviction? Ray. I'm just going to say Jack Black is that is the only one I could think of. Jack Black is incorrect.

Yeah, I figured. Shout School of Rock. Tim Gettys. My friend James Burke. James Burke is incorrect. I just thought of it. I think I'm dumb. You can tell me.

No, you got a nuke. It's not against you, though. I'm afraid. I want you to know, you show back up here. There might be one of, if you don't help me right now, maybe you're saying it might be. I'll go down with Tim. Oh, man. Coward.

Greg, you don't have it? Greg Miller. John Bernthall. I know it doesn't. I like that guess, though, but it is incorrect. Ray, what is it? Is it James Bond? It is so stupid.

It is James Bond. Jack Black. Jason born, Jack Bauer, and James Bond were the three Jeeb's that inspired Splinter Cell convictions design. Sam Fisher's got a rack. Sam Fisher's Kungu Panda. Nobody gets the points for that round. He had shot somebody with a silence piston. Remember, this is Game Showdown,

Kind of Funny's nerdy game show where players compete to earn stars and become champion at the end of the season. Thank you to our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, Delaney the Somme Twining, and Lax Nomad. For now, let's play Mad Categories. Today's Mad Categories is a twist on the game. These are madder categories brought to you by the kind of funny audience.

the rules are simple. I've polled over 1,500 members of the kind of funny audience on a number of categories. Each question has two options. Your job is to write down on your whiteboard which of the two options you think the kind of funny audience voted higher on. You'll get 20 points for each correct answer. Also, if you're the only one to correctly guess a right answer in a round, you'll earn a chance to guess an over under on the audience vote percentage to, Double your points earned that round.

Contestants. Are you ready? Yes. We'll start off. I didn't say yes. Oh, wait. Oh, he's doing anything with his belt. He's got to make sure it's displayed for the audience.

All right. I'm ready. The first category is which game releases first. I have three rounds of games. I'm going to tell you two games. You have to write down which game you think is going to release first based off of the audience vote here. Round number one. Are we doing them one by one?

So like round number when we say it, are we holding them all till the end? We're going to reveal it each round. Love it. Round number one, the two options are option A, the last of us three, or option B, the next uncharted. Which game releases first, according to our audience vote? You can write down either option A, the last of us three, or option B, the next uncharted. If only one of you gets this correct, that person will get a chance to double their points

because I'll give you an over-under. All right. Greg, what's your answer? I'm being bold and saying A, last of us three. Ray, what you got for me? I said B, uncharted. Tim, what you got for me? Uncharted. The correct answer.

Our audience voted the next uncharted. That's 20 points for Ray, 20 points for Tim there. Nobody gets to do the over-under, but I will tell you that 66.6% of our audience voting. Wow. Yeah, that the next uncharted would be the next, the game that releases first before the last was three. Let's move on to round two.

Which game releases first? Option A, the Witcher 4. Or option B, Judas. Is it A, the Witcher 4 or B, Judas? Of course, if you're unfamiliar with Judas, that's the game coming up from the creator of Bioshock and Levine. Greg has his written down. Tim has his written down.

Ray has his written down. Tim, what you got for me? Judas. Tim is going with Judas. Ray. I also went Judas. Ray also went Judas. Greg. I'm going to Witcher. And time will prove me right. I don't care what the audience says.

I'm not talking about them being right or wrong. I'm talking about you'll see. All right. So Tim and Ray, and Ray are saying Judas. Greg is saying the Witcher 4. I'm ziggin. There's agging. Our audience says

Witcher 4. Wow. Thank you, audience. You're smart. Now, Greg is the only one to get that correct, meaning Greg, you now have the chance to double your points here. Love that. Do you think... James Bond. The audience... Do you think the audience voted... Sorry, do you think over

or under 70% of the audience voted for which for. I like this game bus. Yeah. If you can get this right, you're going to double that 20 to a 40. Do you think over or under 70% of the audience voted for the Witcher 4 here?

I'm going to say they don't believe in a man who came out and said in this little device, the PlayStation Vita, they don't believe in him. It was over 70. Greg is saying, I never forget, Ken. Greg? That's incorrect. It was under 70. So you're going to get the

20 points for that round, but you're not going to double it. 66.8% of our audience. So close. Voted for The Witcher 4. People have played Judas, right? I mean, like, three people. Did a bong rip with him and like look at something.

It's moving. I'm losing James. Jeff Keeley and oh, Xbox man from IGN. Adrian Nelson. I believe saw Judas as well. I don't even know if they played it. I think they might have just seen it.

Saw a Chi-JI trailer. Yeah, and just kind of let me and told him, hey, this is the game. Of course, Greg just got 20 points for that round. Let's move on to round. Thank you. Number three, which game releases first? Option A new banjo-kizui. Or option B, a new Sly Cooper.

Oh, dang, dude. Which game releases first? Option A is a new Banger-Cazooey. option B is a new Sly Cooper. I'm running like a novel. Let's start off with Greg. BK. Banjo-K-K-B-Zo-K-B-Joo-Zo-K.

Ben-Jo-Cizoo-I-K. Ray, what you got for me? I also wrote Banjo. Tim. The three-peat. Banjo. Everybody is saying Banjo. The audience agrees a new Banjoe is coming before a new Slyke-Houper. That is 62.5% of the audience believes a new

Andrew Guzzulies. Have all the things been 60 somewhere in the 60? Somewhere in the 60 so far, yeah. All right. That's just category

one. Let's move on to category two, which is, who would win in a fight? Love it. Let's start off with round one.

Who would win in a fight? Ratchet and clank? Or Jack and Daxter? Option A, Ratchet and clank or option B, Jack in Daxter? Who would win in a fight?

Let's start off with Tim. Ratchet and clank or? Tim says ratchet. Ray. I also say ratchet and clink. Ray says ratchet. Greg.

Ratchet and clink. Everybody's going ratchet. The audience agrees. Ratchet and clink. That was about 69.2% of the audience agreeing with you there. To which somebody who knows Ball about Jack and Daxter more than I do, Barrett called this out and went, those are not ball-knowers. Oh.

Yeah. Barry things Jack and Daxter was taken out. They got thrown into the future. I had to learn a bunch of technology. they also had to live in like an apocalyptic hellhole. Yeah, but I mean, Rash and Klink got a million. They're going to turn him to chickens. They have the rhino.

Punting him in a hole. They also have a bunch of crazy weapons, though. I'm just saying. Yeah, Daxter just doesn't have shit but fucking puns, though. You know what I mean? Daxter's up on his shoulder. Remember, that was a human man. All right?

If I got turned to a, if I got turned to a ferret and me and blessed one and adventure, I'm not getting a blessing shoulder. What is he, Barrett? He's not a ferret. It's an ottsal. Otsle. Ottsle. That's not a real thing, right?

Okay. He had the opportunity to turn back into a human, but he had to sacrifice that at the end of the first game so they could save the world. And then he got a ottole girlfriend at one point. Well, that's weird. And she, I don't like that. She had never been a human.

So she was all like, and he's like, come on the fuck. But that begs the question. If you were turned into a ferret, like, are you, you get, and you had no promise to turn it back into a human. Like, you still have a drive. Are you fucking? Like, for real, if I got turned into a ferret and, like, it's some magical adventure or whatever,

we're on it or whatever, but at the end of it, I sacrifice, I can't do it or whatever, I'd be like, thank you for, you know, and I'm like, no problem. Then you'd see me run up the gold game for just to just jump off. All right. I'm not going to fucking live as a ferret the rest of my life. I'm just saying, like, you need to get satisfaction somewhere. I'll get into the afterlife, thank you very much. It's more fucked up if you fucking human if you're a ferret.

Yeah. If you think about it that way. Oh, yeah, no, no, for sure. Well, if you died, you go to heaven as a ferretter, you go. Fact you're human. I mean, I don't know. I like to imagine that is the sequel to the game. We're fighting all the gods trying to, yeah, I take out my vengeance.

Crazy crossover. I also don't like that. Daxter is like a, he's a fake, made up animal, but they named him. Like, he's a real, like an Athol is the name of something that should exist. Yeah. Yeah. Outsle is too realistic of an animal name. I'm with you.

Let's move on to round number two. Who would win in a fight? Option A. Cole McGrath from Infamous or option B, Alex Mercer from prototype. Oh, come on now. Who would win in a fight? Cole McGrath or Alex Mercer?

All right. Everybody's locked in. Let's start with Greg. Cole, don't be fucking stupid audience. Ray. What Alex Mercer? Fucking idiot. Wait, me or Alex?

Tim. Cole World. Our audience agrees with Greg and Tim. Cole McGrath. I had a feeling they would. I kind of just went for the hell, I hear you. like it though. Of course, that's 20 points for Greg and Tim there. That was 61.6% of our audience.

Oh, it's actually close to my thought. Yeah, that voted for Cole. So yeah, also closer than I would have thought, um, I think Alex Mercer just doesn't have the popularity. No. Yeah. But also like, I feel like what for what I know both their power sets, I'm not lean Alex Mercer. That's more dead. He's like ripped people. I haven't played infamous to be fair. Yeah. But Alex Mercer just like dismembering people and stuff. I'm like, I don't know if Cole was doing that. I mean, he was He wasn't, but that's because he was a hero for most of us. Played as a bad guy, but you know what I mean? I don't know ball.

I need to play a bit. Other good. Maybe one day will get remastered, right, PlayStation. Please. Round three. Call Andrew Goldfab right now. Who would win in a fight? Fucking Pokemon Go.

Nobody wants any more of these samurai games. We want fucking infamous. Is that true? I mean, I know we said this. But do we not want more of the samurai games? I think after Yote. Take a little break. I guess I beat out for a break, sure.

I like them samurai games. Round three. Who would win in a fight? Joel Miller from Lassovus or John Martston from Red Dead Redemption. Who would win in a fight? Joel from the Lascellus or John Marston from Red Dead Redemption. Greg is writing a novel. Tim. Joel.

Tim is saying Joel. Ray. I went John. Ray is going John. My guy. Greg just like my grandpappy used to say Miller never loses Joel Miller

also he said Tim sucks Greg is going Joel final words our audience agrees that Joel from the last list I wrote the Jay and I psyched myself out

you should know this Ray if last of us is a possible answer or God of war or God of war I forgot where I'm at it's likely going to be that if you get a beat around for the plate I suck

59% of our audience voted for Joel there 41% voted for John Martyrson. So that's our closest one yet, as far as these matchups go. Let's move on to our third and final category here. Which do you like the most? These categories come with three options. Three.

Who I like it. Which do you like the most? Let's start off with round one. Which do you like the most? Option A. Super Mario. Option B. God of War.

Option C. Halo. Which do you like the most? Kind of gathering something from your audience. Well, but yeah, this is a fucky one. It's a little broad here. He's so mad. This is, in the bus knows what he's doing there.

He's swinging his own drink. He knows what he's fucking doing over there. You know what I mean? Oh my God. I love audience votes because like the stats are just interesting, you know? Oh, man. Stats are interesting. I'm saying that makes me want to change my answer, but I'm not going in because I'm a respectable man.

Yeah, Greg. Are you drawing? Yeah, I'm drawing a little bit. Oh, okay. I was waiting on you. Oh, sorry, I'm all set. Greg, what's your answer? I did God of war and I kind of dude a little Kratos there.

You know what I mean? You see the love of- Oh, yeah. I was telling me down. I was going to make it under his face. All right. Greg is going, God of War. Ray, what you got for me?

I went A. I went Mario. All right. Which I do think is the answer, but I'm playing. Ray is the answer. I'm going Mario. Like, despite our audience. Mario's just so broad.

That's what. So Ray and Tim said Mario. Greg said God of war. Nobody said Halo. Nope. Man, I don't... If it's Halo, I'm gonna break it. I'm gonna break this thing.

I had to hold back today on the Reddit's... Not our Reddit, but another Reddit. The Xbox Reddit, they were all mad about the IGN review for Halo. And I started writing that maybe Halo just sucks. Throw or grenade walk away. Our audience, when asked, which do you like the most? Out of these three said, God of War. I.

Meaning Greg. Caliope. Now that's 20 points for Greg. Yeah. It's insane. It's insane. yourself out. Oh my God. Give me the over.

Give me the over. Greg is the only one who got it. So Greg gets the over under. Do you think over or under 50% of the vote went to God of War? Remember, there are three options here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Shit. I'm gonna say over. Greg's gonna say over.

Because Halo must have gotten 1%. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah. Greg, it was under 50% of the vote that went to God of War. Thank God. To break down the stats, 43.2% said God of War, 30, I got to look at it, 38.1%. So it was very close. Went to Mario, meaning 18.7% went to Halo.

I'm not fully mad at it when you think about it. God of War, incredibly quality games. Oh, yeah. Right? And it's not just the recent ones. Like overall, they haven't really missed. The miss was ascension, I guess. Maybe that was like, yeah.

Yeah. Here. Round two for this category. Which do you like the most? Option A. Eldon Ring. Option B. Clear, Obscure, Expedition 33.

Or option C. Balders Gate 3. Which do you like the most? Eldon Ring. Claire obscure or Balders Gate 3? Let's start off with Tim. Eldon Ring. Tim is going Eldon Ring.

Ray. Them sickles are different, man. I went Expedition 33. Ray is going Expedition. Greg. B, Claire Obscure, Expedition 33. Greg is also going clear, obscure. Our audience says Claire obscure.

Let's go, Greg. That's 20 points for Greg and Ray. Tim, a little surprised you went Eldon Ring. Eldon Ring feels like just, it's all, it's everything. Elton Ring is everything. Expedition's a game. Eldon Ring is a religion. I feel like X-Bitch 33 is more widely accessible to people,

where Eldon Ring is just like, that's too hard on a plate up. Yeah. Which, my concept. Personally, I'm an expedition guy. Yeah. But I expect it different from our audience. The stat breakdown for this one, 41.1% said Claire Obscure,

32.1% said Eldon Ring, and then 26.7% said Baldersgate 3. Our final round, which do you like the most? Option A, A, holonite, option B, Hades, or option C, Celeste. Oh my God. Which do you?

you like our audience the most what a trip this is option a hollow night option b ades or option c celeste for which do you like the most tim's thinking hard there tim's still writing his down him's channeling something right now i don't do so fuck yeah dude i hope there is no first choice all three are my first choice this is so tough this is easy one yeah gregg's got it All right. All right. Tim's locked in his answer. Let's start with Tim.

Tim, what you got? I went Hades. Tim's going Hades. Ray, what you got? I also went Hades. I wrote Hades nuts. Oh, classic.

Class of that. Can we give him a tip of that? I'll give a tip of that. Oh, thank you, sir. Yeah. Greg, what you got for me? Hades, easy. Everybody's going Hades with this one.

There's two of them. And I know there's two Holognites as well, but like the difficulty of that, I think. Everybody went Hades. Everybody's correct. to the audience said Hades here 57% of the audience in fact said Hades

which is more than what I would have expected but there was 25.5% that went Hollow Night and 17.5% that went Celeste. Yeah. And like, I'm not mad at this at all. I understand but more y'all got to show some more love to Celeste but also all this was tough. Yeah, these are all three of the iconic indie games.

Barrett, let me get a score recap from you. Right now the score is in last place, but in the triple digits and showing up for Team Purple, it is Ray Narvaz Jr. for Team Purple in second place. It is Tim Geddes, the leader of the season so far, but can he keep that up? We'll have to find out. It's him for Team Blue for 120 points. And in the lead, can he finally tie it up with Tim?

It is Greg Miller for Team Orange with 160 points, but it's. still anybody's game. Greg, if you got both those over-unders, you'd be so far ahead. Yeah, I know. Story of my life. Thank you for throwing. Keep me close. Yeah, look, you're back, you say, if only I would have gone the other way.

But that's my life. Peter Parker's got Parker luck. I got Miller luck. If it's 50-50, I'm always choosing the wrong answer. You know what I mean? Tell it goes. Barrett, do me a favor too. You need to prep my music because I'm going to be reminding Tim a lot about the briefcase.

Boris, while you prep that, Barry, let me tell the audience about patreon.com. Slash, kind of funny. And YouTube.com slash kind of funny games where you can go and get the kind of funny membership, which allows you to get shows ad free. And speaking of ads, let us tell you about our sponsors.

If you can identify the game that the location is from, you get 10 points. If you can tell me the name of the location, you get another 10 points.

You'll have a minute to jot down your answers on your boards. contestants, are you ready? Yeah. Yes, sir. Barrett, bring up the first round. Round one is open world landscapes. Oh, no. Again, if you can tell me the game that the landscape is from, that is 10 points.

If you can tell me the name of the open world, that is another 10 points. So I'm looking for a game name and open world name right next to it. You have a minute overall on the clock. 30 seconds left. Go God. A lot of beautiful vistas here. I do say so myself. Again, if you can't get the name of the location,

at least get the name of the game, if you can't get the name of the game, at least try to get the name of the location here. Each of those separately are worth 10 points. You have five seconds left on the clock. Two, one drop. Tim up with you.

This is marked. I forgot every game I ever played. Are we giving partial credits if you have like one part of the name? Like if I don't know if it's one or two or something like that? Um, we'll see. Okay. We'll see. Thank you.

Greg, let's start with you. What you got for me? Well, somebody's going to make me angry. I know. One, Immortals Phoenix Rising,

I believe. Olympus is what I'm guessing. I don't actually know what the town would have been called if it's even that right game. Uh, number two, cyberpunk 27. Neon City. Is that what they called that place?

Uh, three dying light two. I don't know. and then for Horizon Forbidden West Could be Horizon the other one I don't know All right Ray what you got for me

For number one I wrote God of War Like the PlayStation 4 Number two I had no idea The name of these These are just the games Number two was cyberpunk

Number three is dying light Number four had no idea So I wrote Subda Kind of funny Oh That's another tip of the hat Thank you Another tip of the hat

Night City fuck Tim So I blanked out Number 1 I also thought it was Immortals Phoenix Rising, which on the show, I never remember the name of that game. I always think it's gods and monsters. And even then I fuck it up. Yeah.

God damn, and I hate that. Number two, cyberpunk, and I got Night City. Okay. Number three, Dying Light 2. And number four, I just put oblivion. Oh. All right, Barrett, if we can bring up the image and I can recap before them. So our first image you see here is Immortals Phoenix Rising.

Greg, you got that correct. However, you didn't get the name of the location, which is. is the Golden Isle is what they call it. Something I would have never remembered. Yeah. So I don't blame you all on that one. The second image here, cyberpunk 2077.

I believe everybody got that correct. The name of the location was only got by Tim. That is Knight City. The third game was dying light. Sadly, Greg, you said two. So I can give you that one. Oh, it is the first one. Yeah, you said two as well.

So, Ray's only one getting points for dying light. Nobody got the location, which is Haran. Or Heron. I didn't play much of the first name. I also only played dying light too. H-A-R-R-A-N is the name of the location. That's why I leaned into two. I was like, I know Blas knows that game.

Yeah. That's why I was thinking of it. And then fun fact, when I'm prepping game showdown, because I know I try to lean more outside of just games I know. So I use a video game randomizer. I found a website that just gives you random video games. That's cool. Good idea.

Video games. And then I make trivia out of that. And then the fourth game here that you see is, The Witcher 3. Oh. It's the Witcher 3. It's the continent. That looks...

That looks incredible for a old game. Yeah. Damn. To be fair, I believe that is actually promotional image that they used. That made more sense. They said it was in game. They're like, oh, this is what the game looks like. But the game does look great, so maybe it is.

All right. Are you guys ready for the second round of images? Yeah! All right, Bear, if you can bring it up. This round of images is video game castles. If you can tell me the name of the game, that is, worth 10 points. If you can tell me the name of the castle, that's worth another 10 points.

So we're looking for the game and the castle. The timer's already going. You have a minute overall to jot down your answers here. Video game castles looking for the name and, the name of the game and the name of the castle itself. 30 seconds left, contestants. A lot of menacing looking locations. Let me tell you, I love a video game castle. Shout out to Peach's Castle, which I thought about putting on here, but it was too easy. All right, you got five seconds. Three, two, one. All right, markers down contestants.

Let's start off with Tim. Tim, what you got for me? The first one I got, Eldon Ring. Okay. I don't have a name. The second one, Hyrule Castle. it's not you have a game

I mean no Legend of Zelda I mean you know how one written down well I put Zelda yeah oh you supposed to yeah gotcha Resident Evil Village Castle Demitrisque

okay oh nice and then Witcher 3 all right Ray what you got for me for number one I wrote Eldon ring well technically I wrote Eldon wrong don't know why that happened number two Ockering of Time

Gannon's Castle number three I wrote Bloodborne and Number four, similar. I didn't know. I'm having a good time. No. I'm having a good time. Ignore Eldon wrong.

Don't give him Eldon wrong. Don't give me Eldon wrong. I wrote. What's the point of writing him down if we have to, you know what I mean? Sorry, I love you, but fuck. We're playing it on this game here. Yep. Greg, what you got for me?

I did Eldon Ring for number one. No, Nate. I don't know what the fuck that is. Number two, Ocarina of Time. I put Hyrule Castle, Gannon's Castle, but I wrote Hyrule. Number three, blood, born, and then four, a thief with a question mark. Okay.

Interesting answers here. let's bring back up the image. So, you guys were mostly spot on with the first one. The game is Eldon Ring. I was going to give you it until you told me not to get it. No, no, no, I'm not going to give you.

I had a brain fart. No, no, it's fine. We're playing an honest game here. But Greg and Tim both got Eldon Ring. Nobody got the name of the location. Andy, can you tell me the name of the location? Stormvale. He couldn't get it.

Is the name of it. What is it? If the audience couldn't hear him, they couldn't hear him. He got it wrong. He said Peaches Castle. He said, yeah, into the peaches, so he doesn't know it. The second image you see here is indeed Zelda,

Ocarina of Time. Greg and Ray are the only ones I'm giving that to. I need the specific game. Sorry, Tim. Gannon's Castle is the name of the castle. So Ray got Gannon's Castle. I'm not giving that to Greg because he also had Hyrule there. And Tim also had Hyrule there, so Tim doesn't get points there.

The third game you see here is Resident Evil Village. That is Castle Demetrisk. And so Tim, Tom, go. That was very blood for to me. And then the fourth game you see here is Resident Evil 4. Oh, you're right. Yeah. The castle has a name?

I was going to ask you, can you tell me the name of the castle in Resident Evil 4? Oh. Salazar Castle. Oh, okay. I was thinking how to know. It's just Salazar Castle, yeah. Oh, I was wrong. We have one more round for you here.

I want to check one of the points. Okay, still a pretty close game. It's still anybody's game here. Um, round number three. If you're an audio listener, 200 for me, everybody else is consequential. Team blue has 170. Team purple has 140. Uh, if you're an audio listener, I imagine you're watching with video right now since we're doing a visual round.

Round three is going to be name the friend slop slash co-op game. Okay. If you can bring up the images. They all kind of bleed together. So I'm only looking for the name of the game. Each correct game gets you 20 points. All you need is the name of the game here to get the points. Yeah, a minute on the clock.

Name the Friend Slop slash Co-op game. I had a name for Friend Slop that I was going to try out. Friends Sim is all trying to push, but then I think it was Mike, I was like, nah, I don't know if I'm feeling that one. 25 seconds left. I Greg, you're so funny. Fun fact, I did include this one particularly because Ray's on the show. I appreciate that.

Thank you. Ray streams off. I should have all of them. Don't show it to Timil Sheep. you, man, I'm afraid to do anything to wrong you. You got three seconds left. Two, one. Pens down.

Admit you cheated, Tim. Let's start off with Greg. Greg, what you got for me? Number one, of course, is Subnotica 2. Number two is Subnotica 1. Number three is battle golf and number four is Pooh-Poo Plunger. All right, Tim, I'm going to jump to you because I want a ready to go last on this one. Everyone, I put Session 51.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Number two, I put Mop with Friends. Nice. Okay.

Number three, I put golf with friends. Okay. And number four, I put Plunge with Friends. Okay. Nailed it. Ray, what you got for me? All right. Number one, I have lethal company. Number two, I put Goblin Cleanup.

That's the one I'm unsure of. Number three, Super Battle Golf. And number four is we got to go. Wow. Okay, bring up the image, parent. Ray nailed it. Ray absolutely nailed it. The first game you see here is lethal company,

followed by Goblin Cleanup, followed by Super BattleGoff, which, Ray, I'm giving you the points. I'm not sadly giving you the points. You only said BattleGoth. I need the Super in there. Got the Super. Yeah, you got to keep the Super.

Greg is giving me a glare. Andy's not my side chat if you can't hear him. So, wait, Lethal Company. Is this the one where you make drugs? No, schedule. You're thinking a schedule. Wait, which one? Schedule one. Schedule one.

Schedule one is the drug game. I have session 51. Close and I hear Mike saying shit, but he says a lot of shit, you know? And then the fourth game is we got to go, which. That's a great. Ray, have you played we got to go? No, I played the demo and I'm like, no. Not for you?

Not for me. Can you explain the premise of we got to go? So for my understanding from the demo is it's like a friend slop game, the four of you go in and find some stuff and the main goal is to find a toilet because you need, you need to go. If you don't, there's like a bar on the left. And I think if it empties, you literally just shit your pants. I love that.

I love that concept for a game. That does bring us to the end of Geoblesser and the end of Game Showdown for today. No. Yeah. So soon. Barrett, if I can get a score recap. The final score. Oh my God.

What the fuck. In last place, it is the season leader so far. Tim Getty is for Team Blue with 170 points. in second place. A big upset since he was winning most of the show. It is Greg Miller for Team Orange with 200 points. And the winner this week for Team Purple bringing another star home with 220 points.

It is Ray Garveyans Jr. Thank you so much. That was incredible. Now Tim, do the right thing. Nope. Cash it in on him. No, cash it in on him right now, Tim. This stays with me.

for now. Of course, catching up on the overall season with the star tracker. Coming into this episode, Team Blue is leading with five stars, team Orange in the second place with four stars, and Team Purple with three stars. Team Purple has earned their fourth star of the season, tying them in second place with Team Orange. Wow.
