Get ready for Game Showdown. 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 have Champion of Team Blue, Tim Gettys. I love that this is the finale. We don't know what's going to happen. I know that there's a bit of a discrepancy in stars right now,

but who knows with the Mario Party rules of the finale? Maybe I will once again come out on top. Still anybody's game. We're also joined by Andy, Cortez representing Team Purple, one of the co-captains. Comeback season, me and Sonbike Mike, Team Purple, we're going to take it today, baby. And we have dripped out in all orange. Thank you.

Thank you, blessing. I could save all of us an hour of our lives. You could just give me the belt right now, Tim. Yeah. The internet's calling it an insurmountable leave, the amount of stars I have. Just in, oh, don't roll your eyes. You're going to regret that. Oh, you're going to regret that one, too.

Don't do them back to back. You did too. I'm on another. I'm like, heads up, everybody. seven stars, four stars, I can't be stopped. I'm going to win. And if you thought the parade was a celebration, you ain't seen nothing yet, Wes.

We're of course starting off with the trivia question worth, an entire star. About to be eight, about to be eight. This is a round of bullet points. I'm going to read to you details about a game one bullet point at a time. It is your job to buzz in and guess what this game is.

You can buzz in once. for Bullet Point, starting with the first one. The game was re-released in 2015 on Steam and eventually carried over to modern consoles. It was re-released in 2015 on Steam and eventually carried over to modern console. Tim Gettys. Batman Arkham Asylum.

Batman Arkham Asylum is incorrect. It looks like there's no other guesses. So we're going to move on. Greg Miller. Halo. Halo is incredible. correct. Bullet point number two.

The game studio considered using emus and ostriches for the motion capture of certain creatures. The game studio considered Greg Miller. Turak. Turrock. Dinosaur hunter is the correct. What?

Answer. You can still stop the show right now, save yourself sometime. Views are dropping. Like, this is what happens. People are like, would I come watch two men get dominated by another man? But when you look at a color like orange, you're used to seeing that on the internet. Of course, the star

tracker is up. That does bring Team Orange up from seven stars to eight stars. I woke up. Did you know that? No, it sounds like I might have heard somewhere. Just to spoiler, everybody. I was brushing my teeth and I had the epiphany. I'm

going to win today. I'm going to lose next season, but I'm going to win this one and I'm sulked about it. Well, congratulations. this team orange and Greg Miller. Remember this is Game Showdown.

Round Robin. Starting off, I'm going to need co-captain of Team Purple, Mike Howard, to join us on... No collusion. That's a rule now. There's no collusion. I'm still not over it. That was insane. He's got to keep his mouth shut back there. I'm flabbergasted by that. Wow. That was fantastic. I mean, it's just like, there are big things that dinosaurs. I could see, you know,

I just made, that's what I was guessing. You think emos and ostrich, do you think dinosaurs? Yeah. Yeah. Of course, the rules are simple. I try to help you. You did? That's what I'm talking about. The rules are simple. Round Robin is a pretty straightforward question and answer game about video games. I'll give you a question. Yere brothers that are used to buzz in

and answer said question. You can buzz in once per round if you give the correct answer that is 10 points. However, today's round robin is a bit different from normal. Since much of this season has contained collusion

between Team Orange and Team Purple against Team Blue, this round Robin will be a 3V1 challenge. Yeah. Greg of Team Orange and both Andy and Mike of Team Purple will share one scoreboard and one buzzer and face off against Tim of Team Blue.

Now, hear me out. There's going to be something. If teams orange and purple win the round. I'm sorry, real quick. Can you hear us out? Can we work on a better name than Perron? Perron. No.

Els Barrett's doing. Great job, Barrett. Now, if teams orange and purple win the round, they each earn one star. Oh, my God. Nice. If Tim wins, Team Blue. earns three stars. That is one for each person he's facing currently.

I like that. That's horrid shit. And there's a theme of this round. We're doing a full round of Nintendo. Of course it is. Let's go. Contestine. This is,

are you ready? Bullshit. I love. This is bullshit. You look at your little smile. You know it is you smirking motherfucker. Hey, how did we get here?

How did we get here? And by playing the game. What's up, Barrett? Just for production, though, you guys will be using one buzzer and it'll be the purple buzzer. There you.

The loser buzzer. Second place. Contestants, are you ready? Yes. Hand on it. We're ready. Round one. What was the first Nintendo game to have a save game feature?

Tim Gettys. The Legend of Zelda. The Legend of Zelda is the correct answer. That is 10 points for Team Blue. I have it so fast. Round two. Punchout is a popular 80s boxing arcade game developed by Nintendo and was the debut Nintendo project of which famous Nintendo composer? Team Porinch.

We'll discuss them. You're talking. Koji Kondo. Yeah. Koji Kondo is the correct answer. That's 10 points for Porange. I wish that was a microphone picking up. I'll bring my microphone

I'll bring my microphone Mike's is picking up enough of it round number three which pro baseball team did Nintendo become majority owner of in 1990 Seattle Mariners damn it

is the correct answer he'll for you anytime feel free to slam the name he doesn't know anything he doesn't know anything he doesn't know anything he doesn't know anything

fuck Ichiro round four this is a number game. I'm going to ask you the number of a certain thing. You'll each get a chance to guess the number with no repeat guess is allowed.

Whoever gets the closest without going over. We're not buzzing in. You're not buzzing in. Whoever gets the closest without going over will get the points. If you both go over, then the lowest guess gets the points. Contestants, are you ready? So we're not each, but it's still the team. It's just the teams. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Including unlockable

characters. How many total playable characters are there in the GameCube title, F-0 GX? I'm going to start off with Tim how many total playable characters including unlockable characters

are there in GameCube title F0GX 25 Tim says 25 And it's closest without going over Correct Alright lean back in Closest we just do we just do the one

We just say you close without going over And I should clarify That if you If you both go over The lowest guess gets it Right But price is right rules Yes.

So we just say one, right? Tom's got on me the last. Close is not going over. Because he would have gone over. We're going to say one. They're going to say one. The correct answer. 41 play will characters, meaning team blue gets the points there.

I was playing with strategy there because I was like, I'm pretty, I know the number's over 30. Yeah. But I was like, I'm going to go a little lower to cut the roll off. I like that. I like that. Round number five. 50, 50. We still fucked it up.

Now, last season, I did a special round called Who's That Character? Today, we're doing a Pokemon edition. Nice. I'm going to show you a silhouette of a Pokemon. Your task is to buzz in and tell me the name of that Pokemon. Each correct answer is 10 points. Contestants, are you ready? Yes.

Team Blue, you have a buzzing for this one. You don't got it. Man, I'm fucking blanking right now. The pressure has gotten to him. Later, Gator. Don't give him, don't even joke around about it. That could definitely knock something. The lizard wizard.

What the goddamn? I could describe him. Of course. We all can. Yeah, we did that. I could describe the second time. We did that. How would you describe it?

Because it's like a tan gray. You know what I mean? Like, it's a different one. Like a sand. Oh, shit, fuck. Oh, really? Then you're not.

Stop talking it out with everybody. Okay. Don't give them an inch. Collusion. Remove the horns from this? Tim doesn't know. That looks like a wiener head, right? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. The answer is Crocodile. Ah. Crocadillo. We said, I knew crock and off stuck in my head, but I was like, that's the fucking totodol evolution.

Team Blue, do you have a buzzet? Doesn't even matter. He's got it. He don't got it. He's got it. He got the points. You got the star, three stars. I have the evolution of them. Baird, Barry Badger. Skunk Tank. It's the little guy. Mill Tank. I'm going skunky. That's good. That's good.

Skunky. Skunky. Skunky is incorrect. The correct answer, stunky. Stunky. I was so close. Skunky with a T. I said stunk. That was good. That was good.

And he may have taken it as like a mispronunciation or something. Like he's just like a stunky. You want to give a little bit more? And we go stung. Yeah. So nobody got points for that round. Fuck, if I could have just buzzed in on Haluja faster. Round number six.

Is this still? Sorry, no, this is not part of the Pokemon run. So we're back to individuals. We're back into regular. We're back to buzzing. We're back to buzzing. And now Tim's got three stars or three stars got added to Tim's fucking thing because that's bullshit?

Well, it's because he's facing off. three people. It's not the end of round robin. We're still in round robin. So we can still come back. Yeah, but we're not sharing the button. We are sharing the button. We're still, we're still team.

There's no more Pokemon, we're still, we're still a Pokemon. We're still buzzing in. Let's beat them, let's beat them here, guys. Round number six, Ultra Smash, Power Tour, and Open are entries in which Mario spin-off series. Team Orange.

Kish smash. You just one more time? Can we hear that one more time? Ultra Smash, Power Tour, and Open are entries in which Mario Spinoff Series? Mario Tennis Open, yeah? Wasn't there, Mario Tennis Open? Are I making that up? Is Power Tour?

What's Power Tour? I don't know. Sports? Golf. I was thinking golf. I don't know. But I like the golf games. Yeah.

Yeah, you're right. You're what I say, Richard. What are a tennis? Tennessee. I don't know about that. There's only been so many tennis. Soccer? No, he's only had two soccer things.

And it opens not a soccer thing. It's got to be tennis? Yeah, palp. We're going to say Mario tennis. Mario tennis is the correct. Monica Seles. She got stabbed. Round seven.

During the development... Right, right. She got stabbed? I think so, yeah. Horrific. Horrific. It is. I'm not going to laugh about somebody getting stabbed.

During the development of Donkey Kong 64, What was Shigeru Miyamoto shown by a developer at Rare? Team Porch. A gun. It was when Donkey Kong was using his gun. That is correct. Got him. What?

Crazy. He knows that. What was he shown that made him react in horror? DK with a realistic gun is the correct answer. Whoa. Yeah. I don't wear these colors as a joke, all right? Was this making the rounds on social recently?

I was one of those stories that's always stood up. I told it recently to Jen when we were listening. Like the Monica cello. Yes, of course. We were talking about that Donkey Kong joke song I liked a lot. And I was telling her about, yeah, when Miyamoto showed up at a Western developer, I got a fucking gun. Yeah, the story goes from Kotaku, quote, you used to get shown, you used to, you get so used to being to,

God, I can't read, you get so used to things being in development, even if it's a placeholder. And I completely forgot that it was there. I'm shooting beavers, turned to my side, and I see this look of horror on Miyamoto's face. Upon seeing this, Miyamoto did not emit an outrage streak and call for the game to be canceled immediately. Instead, he began to draw on a piece of paper. In that moment, he produced the coconut gun from DK64. Fires and spurts. If it shoots you, it's going to hurt.

There you go. I should get a tip of that for that. You and me are viving. Remember when I gave you that PlayStation 5 pro? That was a good time. Yeah, I appreciate that. Really nice. Round number eight.

In the Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild, the four champions who meet in the game are named Erbosa, Deruk, Ravali, and who? I have no idea. but it's like I got it buzz in before he gets there. We got the bird fellow. Yeah, that's Ravali. That's Swimming. That's Urbosa.

Okay. That's fucking... That's as far as I went. I beat it, but they all got weird names. Can these call him Steve? Harriet? I met the bird guy at the Nintendo store. He was signing autographs.

Yeah, what did you go? What was that? Did you go? No, no. Oh, wait. It was the actor. Ravali, Urbosa.

Derruke. Derruke. Derruik. Derruke. Derook. Yeah. DeRue. It feels like there should be a...

Of some sort. Tim, you got that points already. All right. We know you know the answer. Do we have a 15 second time? No, we don't... On this scene, we do. We're going to say Gannendorf.

Nice. Ganendorf is incorrect. Team Blue are you going to buzz in for the answer. Mifa. Mifa is the correct answer. That's 10 points to team two. Should have known it. Should have got it.

Round nine. Damn. How many rounds of it? I'll keep that to my dog. She's the water lady? Uh, yeah, she is... Mifah's Grace. There you go.

I've heard of that. Round nine. What year did Nintendo celebrate Mario's 25th anniversary? Okay, let's add it up. Let's talk about it right now. What's he's celebrating now, Andy? Okay, so... Mario's 25th anniversary.

Has he celebrated his 50? Isn't he 40 right now? Yeah, 80, was it 82 or 81? What did he came out? The earnest in your eyes. Well, if it's 40 right now, isn't it, Something just happened. 35th or 40.

Oh. So we just have to peel back as many years. To 2005? Was that your answer? No, no, I'm saying what was the year? I'm sorry. What year did Nintendo celebrate Mario's 25th anniversary? So minus 15 from now.

But is it 40 right now? And is it this year? This year? Well, let's start with... We're letting them do math this long. So we're going to minus 15. Okay. So minus 15 from 2025 would be 20.

We've got the 15 second time we're going. He's done his 40th anniversary. It's 2010. You think it's 35? put it. 2015. You got five seconds. 2010.

2010 is the correct. Got them. Got them. I don't understand. I don't understand the problem. You're up for three stars. We're playing this one. We got to talk.

Put up a clock. We can just sit here forever to do. Three minds have to talk to each other. Okay. Yeah. It's not as easy for you. All right. You got two brain cells up there just bopping into each other.

Talking about what it's like when Luigi Farts. We got to have a conversation over here. We're going to close out. with round number 10, which is a special round. I'm calling game recognized game franchise. I'm going to say the name of a game entry. It is your job to buzz in and tell me if it's a Mario, Sonic, or Final Fantasy game.

For example, if I say Superstar Saga, the answer would be Mario for Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga contestants. Are you ready? Mario Sonic Fan of Fantasy. Mario Sonic Final Fantasy. If I have a stroke, just let me finish the game God, poor Satan. First one.

The secret rings. Purinch. It's bringing in. The secret ring. Rune. The secret rings. Rings. Yes.

I mean, oh, that's a tricky one. That's a tricky one, right? They want you to say Sonic because the ring is very 15 seconds. It's not Mario for sure. I don't know. You know what you think so? What about Final Fantasy?

Yeah, that's my thing is I feel like the rings are a red herring and it goes Final Fantasy's way. I bet you it's something easy. I feel like I've heard a lot of Sonic games. I feel like it's a Mario Game Boy game. Yeah, three seconds to answer. I'll shoot it. Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy is incorrect. Team Blue. Sonic is the correct answer. That's 10. Reverse reverse. We still got wrong. Yeah. Keep doing what we're doing. Next one. Okay.

What is it? No. You got to hear the question? What's the question? Yeah, you get here. You got to hear it. Oh, man. I can't hear the door. I'm going to go, Mario. Mario is incorrect. All right. So one's off the board. Great. Okay. of fates. Fuck with the rings! Again, he wouldn't dare go back to back sonics.

Yeah, he wouldn't dare. He wouldn't dare, right? It's ring of fate? Ring of fates. Yeah. Where to say Final Fantasy on that one? That it is the correct answer.

For Final Fantasy Chronicle, or Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Ring of Fates. And can I give you a tip of the hat for playing by the rules? If the question said, Buzz and if you buzzed in halfway through, you don't get the rest of it.

I hate the answer. Buzzers are. Here we go. Every buzzer. here we go everybody right a baby hates the buzzers shattered crystal purple orange

okay purple orange that's a solid game yeah we're gonna say Sonic that is correct for Sonic boom shattered crystal round four because Final Fantasy has a lot of crystals and you would think

you know Bless that's what he's doing over here round four dark moon orange okay now he hasn't said Mario I know it does it feels like feel the vibe.

It's got it. I feel like, I don't think Mario's got a dark moon in his life. Dark of them. Luigi's Mansion wasn't. That doesn't count. Okay. I would say it's Mario,

but I don't, it also is anyone, but I don't recognize Sonic. Five seconds on the board. Final Fantasy, Darker the moon. Let's go Mario. Let's go, Mario.

That is correct. For Luigi's Mansion dark moon. Oh, so, okay. Yeah. Okay. Hey, let me talk you out of that because. Next one.

Game recognizes the game. We recognize your game. Next round. All-Star Carnival. Team Porridge. Now, this feels like a Sonic. It does too. I have no idea for this one.

But here is it a turn? I think so. Yeah, 10 seconds on the clock. Okay. We're going to say Sonic the Hedgehog. That is incorrect. Tim Gettys. It can't be Final Fantasy, can't?

It really can't, right? All-Star Chronicle? All-Star Carnival. Oh. That changes everything. Mario's incorrect. Oh, it was Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy.

Theatrhythm. Oh. I still wouldn't guess that. I've never heard of that. Theatriz. Theatrism. Theatrism. I have a true.

Is it theaterism? I've always read it as theatricalism, but theater rhythm, I guess, makes more sense. Yeah. It's a better mouthfeel. It does have a way better mouth. Mouthfeel. Round eight. Dimensions.

Porange. Isn't it Sonic? Incorrect. Fuck shit. Final Fantasy is the correct answer. Final Fantasy dimension. What? Where?

Where was it? It was mobile, right? I believe so. This one was the one Arianna-Grandi? Dimensions. I've been here all night. I remember Ariana Grande was in one of one. God, that's a sexy song.

It only shows on T-Purple, but just know that purple and orange are together, they're purring. Thank you. In last place, with 80 points, but a well-fought game, on his own. It was Tim Gettys for Team Blue with 80 points

and in the lead it was Team Purench with Mike, Greg, and Andy all come together with 100 points. Hold it back. If we can bring up the Star Tracker because that is the end of that round Robin round, meaning Team Purple

and Team Orange have each earned one star. Do you want to give us yours? No, I'm good. Do you want to give me yours? No You can get I mean Would that be on be a collusion Actually

I would not take I would not take Nor would I share That was a trick question That was a trick question I'm glad you didn't take God I mean We're fucking calling right down the middle of the day

Terms and conditions apply. Now it's time for my favorite segment of the season, the awarding of the bonus stars. The idea is simple. At the start of the season, I hit up our game showdown stat tracker, KDG to keep track of a few key stats throughout the season. Whoever led in these stats by the end of episode 11 is awarded a bonus star today. We have four bonus stars to give out.

Let's start with the bonus star for most tips of the hat for the team that got the most tips of the hat this season. The winner is Team Purple. Yes. Yes. Of course, congratulations, Andy and Mike. Thank you. Team Blue currently has three this season. Two were earned by Greg.

One was earned by Gary. Zero were earned by Tim. Very complicated season. Oh, I should also mention, shout out to Katie G. Because this was a very complex season to tabulate, which might reflect in some of the bonus stars today in terms of how all this shook out. Purple has four tips of the hat this season,

which got you the win. Three earned by Mike, one earned by Andy. Orange has one earned by Tim, funny enough. zero earned by Greg. Next up, we have the bonus star for the most screwed over award.

Oh, thank you. I'm ready. Barrett, roll the clip. This one is the one that is the most bullshit fucking results ever, dude.

Are you fucking kidding me? Name the best remake of the last five years. Silent Hill. Two. That's good. Greg says Silent Hill 2. Silent Hill 2.

Silent Hill 2. is not on the list. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. I didn't see that one coming. Hey, Bless.

How are you? I'm doing well, Greg. How are you doing? Still smart. Silent Hill, too. Not one of the best remakes the last five years. All right.

This week's treated you badly, huh? You've been thinking about that the entire. I have not enjoyed that. You know what I mean? But I've been happy to see so many comments

in support of me in saying that those 2,000 people were wrong. There you go. A few weeks ago on Game Showdown, there was a mishap in which Mike Howard, of Team Purple, didn't receive points

on a particular round that he was supposed to. This led to a result earning Greg Miller of Team Blue, a star, when ultimately this should have resulted in a tie. Today, to start off this episode, we are remedying that. This will be decided... This is... Which of the following Donkey Kong

spinoffs isn't a real game. Got it. Is it A. Donkey Kong barrel blast. B. D.K. King of Swing. C. Donkey Kong Jungle Climber. D. D.K. Banana Blitz or E. Donkey Kong Jr. math.

D.K. Banana Blitz. Mike says D.K. Banana Blitz. That is the correct answer. Baird, if you could subtract a star from Team Blue, adding that to Team Purple, meaning starting off the episode. Meaning, a miscarriage of justice has happened, and you're all witnesses. Team Purple is now in the lead. One day I'm gonna go fucking crazy, and you're all gonna wonder where it started.

It started right fucking here. Game Showdown. Name a game that every. game that everyone at Kind of Funny loves Andy. The Last of Us. Fuck. Andy says, The Last of Us.

The Last of Us is our 10. Whoa! Whoa! Oh! Oh, whoa. Our 50 point answer, Astrobot. Ah.

Astrobot. This one is the one that is the most bullshit fucking results ever, dude. Are you fucking kidding me? The Last of Us, 10 points? If you said, hey, Andy, here are the two answers Andy's going to answer. He's going to answer the Last of Us and Breath of the Wild. Ten points total?

What? What was the name of the turn-based mode allowing players... Greg? Galactic Frontier. That is incorrect. Tim. Black the Conquest. Galactic Conquest is...

No, no, no, no. That's a shenan again. They will be a replay on the... Twitch chat that saw my buzzer go in and it didn't I'll remember that Roger. Michael will remember that. Michael will remember that. I offered Tim a once in a lifetime deal to trade teams, including all the stars. Because he can't be stopped.

So including the stars. Yeah. Yeah. Round number one. I'd hate to interrupt, but I'd like to life leech 10 points from Tim, please. All right. Greg is going to life leech, life leech 10 points from Tim, meaning you will actually steal those points.

So that's 10 points away from Tim. 10 points back to Greg. I'm sorry. I would like the life leash 10 from Tim. You don't know you're at max point. Oh, I know. Thank you. You know what I mean?

When you've got a cockroach colony on the run, you keep stomping, all right. You keep stomping them. Weu is the correct answer. Do you want to draw? Wait, I'm sorry. What are my options? Or your answers are drawing or attacking? I'm attacking.

We'll take 10 from Tim. All right. He's going to attack Tim for 10. bringing Tim down to 10 points. Tim is on his final legs here. According to How Long To Beat.com, how long does it take to beat the main story of the first Bile Shock game?

14 and a half hours. Greg is going to say 14 and a half hours. Mike. I will go 16. Mike says 16. I'm going to go 15. I'm going 15. All right.

So Tim is squeezing right between Greg and Mike with 15. I like that for us. I like those odds. The correct answer? 12. Damn. Get your ass out of here. We did it, Andy.

Come on. Purple and orange. Purple and orange. Beat it till it's all. Purple and orange. Purple and orange. Purple and orange. Peet it till it's all.

Purple and orange. Na, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, hey, goodbye.

Congratulations, Team Blue, you are the most screwed over this season. I don't know if this is worth having to watch that again, you know? You know, like, I just sit here, try my best, try to play the games. It is fun watching back, I will say. I will say.

I mean, you watch that and you really feel for Andy. Thank you. Thank you. Again, it's interesting how this factors in. Katie G. screwing over Andy right here, if that then tips the scales that he should be the most screwed over. Thank you. Thank you.

Tim answered God of war, that one question, and then that took the 40 for me, and then I was stuck with him gets his color back, gets a belt he didn't earn back. and he's the most screwed over well let's move on to our next bonus star to give out our 50 cents award for the team that got the most 50 point answers

and kind of beauty then the winner is team purple candy and Mike yes dude yeah what take that because whoever is winning doesn't get to go first so they don't get the 50 points

yes dude 50 point answer first the stats bring down like this Team Blue got four 50 point answers, one by Greg, one by Witta, and then two by Tim. Team Purple got 10 50 point answers, seven by Andy and three by Mike, and then Team Orange got seven 50 point answers, four by Tim, Greg by three by Greg, and then there are four 50 point answers missed this season. Very nice, dude.

And then we have one more. Can we do two more? Can we do three more? We have one more bonus star to give out. The Never Last Award. Barrett, roll the clip. Still not enough, but you know what? It was here for a fun time.

As you can tell by his cool outfit. It was Mike Howard for Team Purple with 45 points. For Team Purple with 60 points tied with him was one Tim Gettys for Team Orange. And edging it out to finally get a win for kind of funny game showdown this season. It was Snowbike Mike Howard for Team Purple with 220 points. Thank you so much. I want to dedicate this win to Greg Miller who got me this one. I'm fucking kidding.

I hate that even when Greg is not the one winning, he's still helping me lose. In second place, a hard fought battle. Stupid cars. And even though he doesn't get a... Not great for Team Blue, they are at the bottom with 50. Then Team Purple and right in the middle where they fit best. Andy Verso Cortez with Team Purple with 190 pulls. And tied, even though we all know who should have really won this week.

It was Snowbike Mike Howard for Team Purple and Tim Gettys for Team Orange with 260 points. Eat Andy Cortez with Team Purple with 210 points. Man, who is always the bridesmaid but never the bride. It was Andy Cortez for Team Purple with 160 points. Congratulations. Team Purple, Andy and Mike. Yes. Barrett, we can bring up the star standings for you.

So coming out of that segment, Tim and Team Blue got plus one star added to their total, bringing them up to two stars. Andy and Mike representing Team Purple got plus three stars coming out of this, coming up to eight total. Team Orange still sitting in the lead with nine. Some more fun stats for you brought to you by Katie G. A week seven saw the first ever midseason miss of the warm up question. Previously the first episodes has always had the. miss and every warm up for the rest of the season has been correctly guessed.

Episode two saw Team Purple's first ever portrait mode win with a technical tie for first place. Week 7 saw Andy's first personal win since week 14 of season two. If you remember, Roger got the team purple win in season three. Thank you, Rush. Week 11 saw the first ever full whiff in kind of feuding, meaning no one got any answers in a round. And because of a tie, there were six answers in the first clean sweep this season when Andy

didn't get a second guess. There were three ties for first place, and Mike was involved in each one. Two against Greg, went to a tiebreaker. He won one, Greg won one. And then against Tim, they both got a star. The highest score this season is tied between Mike and Tim in week eight when they both got 260 points and both got stars. MVP right here.

Team Orange has the highest cumulative score, the most right answers, and the fewest wrong answers. You welcome, everybody. That does include Tim's performance on Team Orange. as well. And as individuals, Tim has earned 1,445 points overall. Greg has earned 1,400 points overall. Andy has earned 780 and Mike has earned 775, obviously splitting the difference there. Gary Witta has earned 140 points. This is like we dominated. That is it for the awarding of the bonus stars. Now it's time for Final Feudy. Oh yes. Oh, yes. Fuck him off. To begin,

Mike and Andy, you two will have to decide who gets to play this final round. No collusion then when one of you sitting on the bench. You're feeling good. You're feeling good. This is your moment. No. This is your, I got you here. I got you to the point. Like I always tell you all, I'm going to get you to the point. You're going to succeed. No.

This is you. We've seen, we saw the way the stats rung out. Mike had a highest 280 or whatever. You, you've got the memory. I don't have the recall. Everybody cheer. Mike has the memory. Mike. No, Mike, Mike, so bike, Mike, we'll be purple.

Team. This is your moment. I got you here. I got you. You play. Oh, God. He's got a great days. So Mike, Mike.

Keep all that in. Don't edit that out. Keep all that in. All right. Mike, you're going to sit in for team. I play on behalf of my best friend, my 1.1, Tim. No shenanigans back there, Andy. Let the power be.

Roger called down the middle. I'm going to be stone cold. Ice cold fox. Andy, I'm gonna lie you sit back there, but no words coming out of your mouth when you're guessing here. Just know that my mind is your mind. And I don't, yeah, but no eye stuff either. No, none of this. None of that shit.

Stay there. Shut up. I can hear you. The rules are simple. I've surveyed over 2,000 members of the kind of funny audience on a number of prompts. Each round, I'm going to read to you a prompt and we'll ask each of you which answer 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 point.

you'll receive. However, Final Feudy is different from kind of Feudy. Final Feudy is only two rounds and a bonus round, and you get a star for every 50 points. So if you end the game with 100 points, that's two stars. Contestants, are you ready? Yes, we are ready. Round number one, name a game or series. We're not buzzing in, right? You're not buzzing in. You're not a buzzer game. I get to go first dibsies. I do because I won that first opening question. He's leading. Tim Getty's. I mean, we're all zero right now, so actually it's how the game's always played. I'm going to have Tim go first, followed by Team Purple, followed by Team Orange. Round one.

Name a game or series that Obsidian develops. Oh, nice. Love that. Tim. Name a game or series that Obsidian develops. Fallout. Tim says Fallout. Fallout is our 40-point answer.

Mike. I'm going to go with a vowed. Oh, no. He said it. He fucking. Said it. The Outer Worlds. Thank you.

Have we had this before? Roger, what's the verdict here? It's out. It was out. It was done. I feel like we're not that. I feel we're not that. I mean, my fucking sexy jacket.

Outer Worlds too. The Outer Worlds too. Oh, what a surprise. We're going to allow it. Roger says allow it. I don't think you know of it. So I'm going to allow it as well. Mike says the Outer Worlds too.

Or the Outer Worlds. That's a franchise. Correct. Correct. The Outer Worlds is our 50. is our 50 point answer. That's a full star right there. A lot of great options, Tim.

Yeah. You shot. You shot first. Greg. Grounded. Greg says grounded. Grounded is our 30 point answer. We're back to Tim.

Tim got our 40-point answer with Fallout. And Mike got our 50-point answer with the Outer Worlds. As we roll into round number two, name Kojima's best game. Name Kojima's best game.

Tim got the 40-point answer with Metal Gear Solid, and Greg got the 50-point answer with Metal Gear Solid 3. Now, it's time for our bonus rounds. Let's go. Have three categories left on the board.

Each of you has one shot to choose a category and clean up the answers on the board for those amount of points. Remember this. If you get one strike, you're done and we end your run there. We'll start with the person who has the least stars, Tim Getty's. What the fuck, bless. First dibsies. Cool. Very nice.

Oh, and we have categories. Barry, if you can bring up the categories, the categories are party time, hippity hop, and marketing dollars. Oh, man. What's the hippity hop? Game's gonna be though, you know? Fuck it, B. All right, we're going with hippity hop.

Name a rapper that's been in a video game. Oh. Name a rapper that's been in a video game. Again, if you make one mistake here, your run ends. 50 cent. 50 cent is our 50 point answer.

Sounds about right. right right down the list um god this gets a lot harder m&m m&m is not knew that on that happening the list how too early too new DJ hero his whole the whole fucking thing was him may i steal his points but he wasn't in it right yeah like they were like a songs in it yeah but i think it was not like a care character in the game, right? It wasn't there? That must have been.

I mean, they probably had his imagery in there. But we had some more popular answers. The 40-point answer there would have been Snoop Dog. Of course. Our 30-point answer. Dr. Dre. Perrap of the rapper. Per-rap of the rapper.

Our 20-point answer, we have Dr. Dre. And then our 10-point answer, we have Exhibit. Exhibit was our 10-point answer. Yeah. Wouldn't have got most of those. If we can bring back up our categories, we're going to have whoever has the second most amount of stars so that's team purple may i call upon my teammate here my team captain no no no collusion we can we can't we can't talk a little fun i maybe he chooses for me

there's no fun okay this is very serious we shall go party time you're going party time like it name the title of a mario party mini game it's all down to the category choice for this one that up, huh Andy? Damn. That's just a bunch of bullshit. Can you get one answer? You just need one, dude. You just need one answer here

to get you that next star. A Mario Party mini game. It all comes down to this. No collusion. Start the timer. Don't start the timer. Give me a minute here. Give me a second.

Let me cook. Yeah, we don't really use a time. Mario party. We don't use the timer here. We'll eventually get to a timer. The audience thinks is a Mario party game. Yeah. Yeah. Name the title of a Mario Party game is what I asked the audience.

Name the title of a Mari Party game? Mini game. What's the fire lava jump? You know what I mean? Fire lava jump rope. Lava jump rope. That's a real one. We know that. Lava jump rope is not on the list. You're looking for hot rope jump. Is it on the list? Made up. Hot rope jump is what you're looking for.

But did they write in lava jump? Jump rope. No, they just rode in hot rope jump. Again, the audience, let's all admit it. They're cheaters. They're swindlers. They're horrible people. Exactly. They go to Wikipedia. They don't go. They should clear their minds and answer the fucking questions. That's what you would hope, right? Our 50 point answer, bumper balls. Bumper balls. Our 40 point answer, face lift. I think that's the one where you stretch out the faces. Our 30 point answer, day at the races. Day at the races. 20 point answer was hot rope jump and our 10-point answer was book squirm.

Yeah. Greg? We didn't stand a chance. No. Yeah. No, your best hope was to get hibbitty hop there because I feel like Mike would have rock that one. Would it rock that.

Greg, that brings us to our third and final category, marketing dollars. Yes. Name a game with insane ad placement. Call of Duty. Call of Duty is our 10-point answer. What the fuck? Wow.

Were you just throwing that out? You would have thought that would have been top of all? I thought that would be number one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. NBA 2K. That's our 40-point answer. Madden. That is not on the list.

Crazy taxi? Crazy taxi's not on the list. I would have thrown out for the old heads home front. I mean, I would have run out. But I remember that and campaign? That was insane. Yeah.

Our 20 point answer, which you didn't get. Final Fantasy 15. Oh. For the, ramen? Yeah. All right.

Our 30 point answer, burnout paradise. Yeah. Then our 50 point answer, death stranding. Okay. Death stranding. What was the phrasing of it?

Marketing spend? name a game with insane ad placement. So ads in the game. Yeah. I was thinking ads on TV. I got so hung up. I got hung up by the marketing. I was like, it's going to, when I saw the category, I was already like, call of duty.

They put up their commercials. They do this whole thing. That makes more sense. But it doesn't matter. I'm amazing. Bear it bring up the score recap. So coming out of this round, remember you get a star for every 50 points, meaning Team Purple is going to earn themselves an additional two stars here.

Team Orange also going to earn an additional two stars. Team Blue is going to earn three stars for you. So Barrett, if we can bring up the star standings, Team Blue is going to go from two all the way up to five stars to end the season. And both Team Purple in Team All Star with Team Purple, Team Purple is going to go from 8 to 10, and Team Orange will be your season for champion

with 11 stars total in a close game. Congratulations, Team Orange, for winning the belt for the very first time on Game Showdown. For Team Orange, of course. Yes. I mean, as a competitor, as a coach, no. I've now done what Tim Getty's always wished he could have done. And that's three-peated.

Three championships back-to-back. Game Showdown season two, the Nick Scarpino season, and now season three. And let me tell you in four, by the last. Sorry, this is my moment. I'm sorry, this is my moment. I don't have beef with you, by the way. Roger, Katie G, you better go get your car right now because we're going to have some words about it.

But more importantly, I want to have words with you, kind of funny audience. Thank you so much for your support this season. You know, once I was screwed over by the tie-breaking question, I was rocked and struggled to find my feet for a long, long time. But I found them by doing what I do best, making deals. Thank you, Joe, sir.

Can you open this for me, Joe? I'm in my own head, right? I need to settle the jitters with a little of the bubbly. You know what I mean? I feel you. I want to thank you all, though, for being in my corner being with me, and I'd like to officially invite you in 2026 to the party to end all parties. It's the orange party.

We're all going to show up and wear orange. Where's it going to be? Great question. I'm working on a few things. Obviously, San Francisco's easy. I thought maybe around the sketch fest thing. Then I thought, you know what? Why not take it on the road?

San Diego. Then I remembered there's a giant. orange in Montreal. What really matters is that you all start looking for your orange outfits now. Joester, I'm going to need you if you don't mind. I'd love a cup cap. If you don't mind to start working with any of them, French dip, whoever, about an orange shirt. All right, we need it. I'd love it to say three Pete. I'd love it to say three champ. Maybe Orange Party. Maybe it just says, or maybe it's a black shirt that says orange party and white. It'd be funny as hell, right? Most importantly, that was going to happen in 2026. I'll have details when we get into the new

year. And the one person who's not allowed to come is kebabs. Uh, after we had the collusion episode, but before the collusion rules were established, I saw kebabs with my own two eyes, my two orange eyes in the chat, saying, I come to Game Showdown for serious trivia, not for the shenanigans. So guess what? You don't like the berries. You don't get the juice. You don't get to come to the orange party. Cababs? Just you. Everybody else?

Orange. And oops. I got lost in this game, oh, baby. I'm not so. I saw the fun stat floating online that if Team Orange and Team Blue never switched places, never switched stars, we would have been coming into this episode all tied up with all the teams. I thought that was fascinating. I thought that was very neat.

It could have been a very different outcome today. Tim knows Nintendo games and bad deals. apparently not even Nintendo games you know what I mean you said it man I said it it's a new era for team orange I'm supposed to be impartial

I want to go to the orange party the orange party sounds fun it's gonna be great this be a great time of course this has been Game Showdown your nerdy trivia show we'll be back

someday with another season sometime next year but until next time it's been our pleasure to serve you fastest down to my captain blessing
