Yo, what's up?

Welcome to Game Showdown. I'm your host, Blessing, Adelae Jr. I'm joined by three contestants for representing three teams. We got Tim Geddes representing Team Blue. You saw it too, right? This is a hard one. What a weird, what a fucking panel of them. Could any of us dress even a little bit more?

What kind of fucked up game of guess who are we playing at home? Does he have glasses? Does he have a beard? Is he in a black shirt that has something over his heart? Fuck me. This isn't doing anything for anybody. Corporate needs you to find the difference between these three pictures. God, we should have looked at each other.

We should have looked at each other. That's the voice of Greg Miller, the captain of Pete Warren. No, that was incredible. And of course, representing Team Purple is not Andy Cortez. It is not Snowbike, Mike. It is the one and only from the UK, from IJN. The Great UK. The Great UK.

A great contestant, Simon Cardi. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, the pen. There you go. I did not know we were playing this game. Do you not like this one?

No, no, I'm going to need the rules. Oh, I'll give the rules. It's very simple. We'll get there when we get there. We're bad at that. I'm a good listener. I'm a good listen. Okay, okay.

Of course, Simon, I enjoy having you here because we were talking about this earlier in the week that, you know, you and IJN UK are very much the inspiration for a lot of the trivia games we do here. Because I used to be a constant listener of the IGN UK podcast. That's the key word. Listen, Gabbrook you left and then I left. I couldn't.

But on that show, you guys, do you guys still do the endless search? Not so much these days. No, no. You kind of stole our thunder and thought, we can't do it better than that, you know? Fair enough. But hey, maybe you'll be able to bring back that energy.

Maybe. It's rare for me to get to play the games, you know? Yeah. I'm looking forward to it. Really excited to have you play today. Of course, you're already getting to Tim's head today. Oh, I've been in his head since birth. We just did get to play.

games daily and I've never been that thrown off on content. Ever. Evan, you're gonna keep doing that to Tim? Throughout this episode. We'll see. All right. It's already happened.

Adventures. We're starting off with a power up round, meaning whoever succeeds in this round will not only receive 10 points, but also their choice of a power up. This is a numbers 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 guesses allowed. Whoever gets the closest without going over gets the points. If you all go over then the lowest guess gets the points. Contestants, are you ready?

Yes. Yes. In the very first episode of the 1997 Pokemon animated series. No, I'm going to call on you. Sorry, I'll interrupt you. I'm sorry. In the very first episode

of the 1997 Pokemon animated series, how many different Pokemon make an appearance? Oh, man. We're gonna start off with Tim. Does he one last episode? I have a question, sorry. What's up?

Does this include the intro? Does it include the pokey wrap? I don't believe this includes the intro, nor the poker wrap, just in the episode itself. What's in the meat? Yeah. Does it include the who's this poker? You know what? All valid questions.

I'm gonna say no, but I might get double-checked on that. Okay. 13. Tim says 13. Greg, what say you? 14. It's been a long time. 14.

Simon, what say you? I'm going to go, saying ridiculous. But which way am I going to go? I'm going to go. There's only a couple. There's like 80. I'm going to go for six.

Simon says only six different Pokemon. For the question of, in the very first episode of Pokemon, how many different Pokemon make an appearance? The correct answer? 16. Damn it.

Tim and Greg were very close. Greg got the closest with the answer of 14. Because I'm the new voice in Pokemon here, the new generation. I probably watched that episode. It's been a long time. Did you name them? Sure. Pikachu.

You got to make it chew in there. You know what I mean? Rock rough. I think I could get there. No, definitely not. That's what he said. Why gone? We got Gangar. We had Nitterino.

We had Pikachu. Yep. Charimander, Bulbosaur, squirrel. Barrow. Try hard. It's a try hard. You can't even get the answer right, though. Oh, well, let me see.

I think I actually, I should have, I have a link here. I have all the handsers. So keep going. It's pretty good though. I'm running out there. Yeah, there's no bonus points here. Pidgeies, we see Pidgee.

Chancy. Okay. Do we see Chancy? I don't think we see Chancy. So the answer, hold on, I got to do a thing. There we go. So the answer is for the, the Pokemon that showed up. You have Bobesore, Charmander, Squirtle, which I believe you said.

We have Pidgey, Radita, Sparrow. Yeah, said that. Pikachu, Sanchru, Niterino, Manky, Dodrio, Gengar, Onix, Magicarp, Geridos, and Ho-O. And I believe that's a-O-O-O-I did pretty damn good. You did pretty good there. Onyx, I don't remember seeing Onyx. It wouldn't have gotten that.

That's more than six. That is more than six. Of course, that does get Greg 10 points for the round. But Greg, this was a power-up round, which means you have your choice of reward in addition to that 10 points. Do you want to get 30 more points right now? Do you want to get four times the points if you answer the next round correctly? Or do you want to open the secret chest?

I like Marie's in the chest. Give me the chest. Pass that on to Greg. You can't say no. Maybe it's a Maguire. Well, isn't there? I don't think we took out the Spiro gems. Yeah, we did that on purpose.

Greg, that right there is a three times buzzer, which means after you buzz in, if you activate that three times buzzer, you'll earn three times the points for that round. You can activate that whenever, but you have to buzz in, you don't give the answer yet. You buzz in the three times thing, and then you give your answer. So buzz buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, not buzz. Answer, that's correct, buzz. Correct. Got it. Yes.

And he gets to use this once? You get to use this once. Okay. Yeah, it is a consumable buzzer. Remember, this is Game Showdown. Kind of Funnies' 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 Rogue Robin. The rules are simple. You three are adventurers entering a rogue-like trivia dungeon. Each round, I'll give you a question. You have your buzzers that you'll use to buzz in and answer said question.

You can buzz in once per round. round if you give the correct answer that is 10 points. However, this time around, there's a change to Rogue Robin. Any mistakes means you'll lose 50 points. Oh. So don't buzz in unless you're sure of the answer. Can you go negative? No, you cannot go negative.

Okay. Technology. Contestants, are you ready? Yeah. Any questions? No. That's your job. You know, note for the viewers, of course,

if you've seen an episode of Rogue Robin, used to be that you lose all your points. Now it's just 50 points, being a slightly more forgiving with it. Let's start off with round number one. 2017's ukulele was a spiritual successor to Banjo Czoui, emulating its platforming gameplay. It was met with mixed reviews. However, its spinoff was a 2D iteration met with generally positive reviews. This game was titled ukulele and the what?

Tim Gettys. Impossible lair. Impossible lair is the correct answer. That's 10 points for Tim. Round number two. The Jack and Daxter series is filled with various Easter eggs and references. In Jack 2, images of the dev team can be found.

Additionally, in Haven City, above the canal near the stadium, there is a billboard displaying which other platforming duo. Tim Geddes. Ratchet and clank. Ratchet and clank is the correct answer. That's 10 points. I wouldn't have buzzed in,

but you don't lose the points, you know what I mean? I don't have any of it should have done it. Yeah, you got nothing to lose. That was stupid on you. Your part. Round number three. And destroy all humans, you control a member of the Thuron alien race. You play as Cryptosporidium, aka Crypto.

There's also another Furon named Orthopox, aka Pox. What are the members of the Fiorons named after? What are the members of the Fiorons named after? What was the second one again? Yeah, Cryptosporidium, aka Crypto. And you have Orthopox, aka Pox. Simon Cardy. Cree.

That is incorrect. I'm looking at Latin. You know what I mean? Yeah, good job. It's still teaching that over there, huh? Tim and Greg don't want to buzz in for this one. No. The correct answer would have been diseases.

Oh, my God. Fuck! Disease and I didn't want to risk it, but that's what I was going to say. Yeah. What was the crypto one again? Cryptosporidium. What virus is that? I don't know, man.

I'm not a scientist. I didn't know how deep. Yeah, or the box, which is pox. I can look up crypto spiridium. I'm sure I looked this up when I came up with this question. But you also have. Um, emperor meningitis. No, you don't.

Really? Yeah. Wow. If you would have said that, I would have maybe been, you know, that's not even in the top 10 sickness. Cryptos peridium is a disease that causes watery diarrhea. Yeah. I call that Taco Bell. Round number four, power up round.

Whoever succeeds in this round will not only receive 10 points, but also their chance or their choice. of a power. I feel like I'm a nightmare. Do you know that UK TV show? You obviously there would be one kid who's blindfolding his three other friends would have to walk you through or like, choose your own adventure dungeon

and lead him like like, don't go left, there's a dark wizard and stuff like that. But I feel like I'm in right now. You might be spoiling a future episode of game showdown. This is an OST. Wait, I bet he's just stealing that idea now.

Yeah, yeah. I bet it's just like how he stole the idea for this entire thing. Yeah. Barrett's going to play a song. Whoever can tell me what game the song is from gets 10 points and their choice of power up. Contestants, are you ready? Yeah!

Barrett, play the song. I'm looking for just the game. Tim Geddes. Benjikazui. Banja Kazui is the correct answer. That's 10 points for Tim. Tim, you have your choice of a power up here. Do you want 30 points right now?

You want four times the points for next round if you get that one correct, or do you want to open the secret chest? I want to open the secret chest. He wants to open a secret chest. One day I hope it's snakes. Can it back fun? It hasn't yet, I don't think.

One day we'll put snakes in there. So that right there is the anti-buzzer. This buzzer allows you one time to buzz in for another player and force them to answer a question. I like that. That's great. All right, let's move on. I'll point you out, I'll point it out.

Remember, right now I have something to lose. If you take it from me, then I will start just buzzing in to answer things. I probably don't want to take it from me. You know what I mean? Bro strats at play. I've come up until I'm still not buzzing. Round five. The Burnout Racing Game franchise is known for its high speeds and car destruction.

Burnout Revenge introduces traffic checking to the series, which allows players to do what? How do I know? What does traffic checking and burnout revenge allow players to do? Simon Cardi. Rear end cars? I will give it to you. Yes, you can ram same-way traffic from the back without crashing.

That is 10 points for Simon Cardi. He's in the game. He's in the game. If I didn't get the burnout revenge question, I would have left. Also, Roger, do you want the chest back? Round number six. credited with popularizing the walking sim genre and preceding everybody's gone to the rapture

Simon Cardi Deer Esther is the correct answer Holy cow We're in He's on a roll I had most of the question left I was gonna have a whole thing about a deceased wife but you killed it

Oh I know about dead wives There you go Watch a lot of Christopher Nolan do you Live their life Round number seven You've hit a challenge room The challenge room features a series of questions all within the same category. I'll have the person who got this previous answer correct, meaning Simon Cardi,

choose which challenge room you want to enter. You have two choices here. Okay. You have Master of Remasters, and that's at normal difficulty. And then you have Spidey Stories, which is the hard mode, but the answers are worth double the points. We'll step with the remaster, the normal one, please. All right. We're going with Master.

of remasters. The rules are simple. Remastered games often come with quirky titles, subbing out the word remastered with fun replacements. I'm going to say the name of a remastered title. Your task is to buzz in and tell me what the game is being remastered. Love it.

Each correct answers were 10 points, contestants. Are you ready? I lost you a little bit. So you're giving a fake retitled and I have to guess. So it'd be like climbing up a wall remastered. And I'd be like, it's uncharted. No, I'm giving you, you know how you, I'm trying to think.

take an example. They're real ones. These are real games, but you know how, like, you'll have XYZ game remastered, but instead of being remastered, they're called something else. So what am I saying? You're saying the name of the game. I'm just giving the real name. The real name of the game.

I'm just giving you the re-of-you-you-get-it-you'll get it once I get into round number one. Round number one, re-reckoning. So now I say the full name? Yeah. Greg Miller. What? And he's using the three times.

Kingdoms of Amelor re-recking. That is the correct answer. error. So that is... Now I understand. I appreciate you. There you go. That is 10 points times three. So that's 30 points for Greg. I appreciate that round. Don't like that. And that was that's done now. That's a single use. Yeah, that there's three times this single use. Fucking tosses it.

Round two. Rehydrated. Simon Cardi. SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom. That is correct. That's 10 points for Simon. Next one. Re-Marstered. Remarsterd.

Oh, I. You still lose points, right? Correct. You still lose points. Simon. Red fraction gorilla? That is the correct answer. That's 10 points for Cardi.

Next one. This is tense, isn't it? Yeah. All you can eat. All you can eat. Tim Gettys. Overcooked. Yep, that's it.

That is the correct answer. I don't like the points. The losing the points. No fun. You got to get confident. I go over-cooked and I just sit on it. I like to say it. I got to get competent.

Look at that. Yeah, I know. It sucks. We all look exactly the same. same. I hope you're all ready for whatever fucking YouTube video essay we're going to end up in. Games industry too white is what it's going to be. You know what I mean. Next one. Death initive edition. Death inative. Oh, I don't like it. Oh, oh, oh. Tim. Darksiders. Yeah. Darksiders is incorrect. Oh, I didn't get it.

That's 50 points away from Tim. That means you have numb, Tim. I'm not doing it. The other two nervous to buzz in. I just don't know. Definitive edition. Definitive edition. I mean, I could make some logical guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Looks like nobody has it. We're not going to do it. We're not going to see it. I know what I'd go for. Me and my son are standing down. The correct answer. McCarthy's say, but it doesn't kind of is your thing. You didn't buzzet with you think.

No, no, because I don't realize that's not what it's called. Okay, great. The correct answer? Dark Siders 2. I got his bitches. Dark Siders 1 is a war master's edition. So I cannot give it to you, sadly. It's the name of the game, you know?

Been saying for a long time, only losers wear a black t-shirt with a gold chain. Next one. Repack. You spell pack for me. P-A-C. Repack. Oh, I'm not guessing which one is it.

I mean, you might as well. Tim Gettys. Hackman, world. That is the correct answer. 10 points for Tim. Would you have gotten it if I hadn't asked for the smelling? I mean, yeah, but it was it world one or world two. That's where I was caught up in Pac-May or the X championship edition.

Additional info for you guys here. If it's a situation where both the first game and the second game have like the same remastery game or a collection, I'll give it to you. Okay. Yeah, the main reason I didn't give Dark Siders is because Dark Siders one has a different one. That's fun. Because I should point out, overcooked is Overcooked one and two. All you can. I didn't even know.

They remaster those. Yeah. Do they need to? No. Another question. Is it really a rematch? I think it's more of a collection. The collection.

Yeah. All right. Next one. Darker risen. I mean, I'm scared of answering. I know it. Dragon's dogma.

That is the correct answer. You weren't. This is a big conversation from the other day of his Dragon's Dogma 2 called. Yeah. Fun fact, I put this together before they announced Dragon's Dogma 2, Darker Risen. I would have given you either because the situation we're in.

And then last one, Reignited Trilogy. Tim Gettys. Spiro. Spiro the Dragon is correct. That's 10 points for Tim. Sue Sked, correct. I know. This is not worth it.

And that is the end. It knocked me down, but I'm crawling back up. Of Master of Remasters. Master! Master! We're back into our regular rounds of Rogue Robin here. With round number eight, Fyre and Obsidian have worked on the same.

franchises multiple times throughout their existence. One of those franchises is the Never Winter Nights series, which takes place in the fictional land of Fyroon. What tabletop role-playing game are the systems and rules of Never Winter Nights based off of? Again, I think I know. Nobody's confident enough, it seems like. I'm cutting you off there.

The correct answer, what did you think it was? Pillars of Eternity? No. No, good. Dungeons of dragons. Or Dungeons and dragons. Well, bang. That's crazy. I thought for sure it'd be something that's not that.

Yeah. Not the only one that I know. Round number nine. I'm glad I didn't buzz. Released in 2013, Rise, Son of Rome debuted on Xbox One as a third-person action game. However, it didn't start its development as a launch title. It was originally being made for which Xbox peripheral. Rise Son of Rome was originally being made for which Xbox? Is this just a game of how much of a coward are you? Yeah. Tim Gettys.

Connect. Connect is the right answer. You got to take the jump and that does tie Tim up with the rest of the players. Contestants, we're entering round number 10 and you guys have hit a mini boss. Correct answers during this round are worth 20 points and I'm not asking questions to the group. These are tailored questions for each contestant. You have 15 seconds to answer, and Rogue Robin rules still apply, but now you have to answer. Since this is a mini boss, it only has one phase, and the phase is their biggest hit.

I'm going to name a publisher, and you have to tell me their biggest sales success by recorded units sold. Each of these does come with three multiple choice options. Are you ready? Yes. Yeah. Greg? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to start off with you.

your publisher is Capcom. What is their biggest hit? I was a Taylor to me. Is their biggest hit, Resident Evil 4, not including the remake, just Resident Evil 4 in its ports? B, Monster Hunter World, or C, Street Fighter 2? Isn't it B? Are you locking that in? Yeah.

That is correct. Those are points. Those are 20 points for Greg for that round. Next up, we're going to go Cardi. party, your publisher, is Konami. Is their biggest hit? A, Metal Gear Solid 5, the Phantom Pain. B, Pro Evolution Soccer 2008,

slash Winning 1111. Winning 1111? Is that what's called? 2008, I mean, this is... I think this is called winning 11, I think is what it's called in Japan, maybe. Okay, I might have mistyped this. This is winning 11-11, so that's on me. So is it Pro-Evo 2008, or is it C?

Frogger. Why is Frogger in there? That's what's throwing me. MGS 5, Pro Evo 8, or 2008, or Frogger. How much is this tailored to me, is the question? Yeah. Is it? Yeah, four seconds.

Let's go Pro Evo. Pro Evo is incorrect. The answer was Frogger. I didn't know Frogger was Kunami. You didn't know Frogger was Konami, yeah. No. How is this tailored to me? You look like a frog.

Don't know like a toad. Tim. That's what I have. You don't look like a frog. This last one is for you. And I believe this one isn't just units sold. This is more so revenue. Is it A, no, you're sorry.

Your publisher is Square Inix. Oh, shit. Okay. Is it A, Final Fantasy 7, the 1997 version, not including remake. Is it B, Final Fantasy 14, or is it C, Tune Raider, 2013? Oh wait so it's all revenue it's not just sales Let me double check this I have a link to this because that's I would have a different answer Let me I'm double checking. I'm double checking you got six seconds

I'm pausing the time yeah sorry you're pausing the time here as I actually no we're going off sales my bad look at We're going off sales yeah well that would have changed I'm gonna go I'm pulling from VG sales dot fandom by the way everybody for this they always nail it Broca phone fantasy 14 That is the correct answer. I thought that one would have thrown you off. It did, but I unthrough myself.

That's 20 points for Tim. Oh, I won to top one. And that brings us to the end of the mini boss round. Barrett, what's the score recap? Right now in last place, kind of typical at this point in the game. It is Simon Cardi for Team Purple with, unfortunately, zero points. Tied for first, at least right now. It is both Tim Geddies for Team Blue.

and Greg Miller for Team Orange with 60 points, but it's still anybody's game. Is it? Anything can change. We have a whole half of the show left. Of course, item check in for you. Tim is still sitting on his anti-buzzer, meaning at any point he could buzz in for one of his opponents playing.

Greg used his three-time buzzer already, and so that's the only item that is in play. We've got a lot more game left for you. But remember, the kind of funny membership on page.

This is a U-I-Dentify. Ah, I love these ones. Barrett's going to bring up an image of a game's UI. If you can tell me what game this UI is from, you get the points. We still lose points.

You still lose points. That's this entire episode. Yeah. Barrett bring it up. What is this game? I've played this game. I've seen a lot of UI elements here. Oh, shit.

I know this. you I feel like I do too Cardi. I think I do too. Cardi Helldivus two? Hold divers two is incorrect. You're sitting at zero points and so yeah. Yeah, nothing to lose.

Nothing matters. I've played this game. Doesn't seem like Tim or Greg want to guess. Let's fucking go for it, right? Let's just Tim's going for it. Outright. Oh, I know what it is. Outriders is incorrect. I can't buzz again. Kind of.

No. No. And Greg's going to sit on it. I don't think Greg wants to buzz in here. God, it's the plus down there with the power that's like, I know I've seen that before. I know. Blessing, let me. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. The correct answer here. Returnal. That nobody got is returnal. I like you going forward to him. Yeah. That means nobody's going to get this fun little item here. He should have any points though either, should he?

No, he lost 50. He lost 50. Yeah, he was at 60. I don't know math, actually. It's a big problem for me. It's hard to believe you come after my learning disability like that right here on the show. Wow, Tim. It's fucked up.

You know what I mean? Fucked up of you, Tim. Not looking at him. Unbelievable. It's pretty clear guys with glasses want to do that to each other. You know what I mean. What about guys with black shirts on? Black shirt and glasses are nice guys.

Black shirt, no glasses, gold chain, assholes. Joey, make it a shirt. Make it black. Round 12. The Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone video game released with five. different versions. Each of them completely original and different from one another. There's the PlayStation 1 version, Game Boy Color, PC and Mac version, the Xbox, PS2, and GameCube version, and a version for what other platform.

Can you read them one more time? Yes. And so I'm talking about Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone. It came out on different platforms. You have a PS1 version, Game Boy Color, PC slash Mac, Xbox, PS2, GameCube, and what other version? What year was it? 2000? Did you say? I don't think I said no.
