Get ready for Game Showdown. Yo, what's up? Welcome to Game Showdown. I'm your host blessing Adioia Jr. I'm joined by three contestants representing three teams.

We got representing Team Orange, Greg Miller. Hello, everybody. All healed up from last week. Did we change your buzzer? We did, yeah. Oh, I see. Mike has the fixed buzzer. Also joining us for the very first time on this season of Game Showdown,

representing Team Purple. We have Mike Howard. Thank you, bless. Happy to be here. Happy to be making an appearance. Playing on kicking butt. Yeah? Today you're getting the win.

Yeah. I have a piece of the Triforce with inside. of me so I know that I have the power. Which one? It'll be great. Wisdom. Okay, good, good, good, good. You said any other right here, I'd have like, God damn it, Mike, you have no idea how relevant that is, but we'll get to that later. Also joining us, representing Team Blue and also possessing the

stars in the bank briefcase. It is Tim. Momong, Wogan, Gettys. I have the power. Very excited to be here. I think I'm going to win today. Wow. Yeah. Very excited to have you in your haircut. Thank you. Haircuts's looking great today. Thank you. Appreciate that. Shout to Tanya from Supercuts. That adds to Tanya. Of course, we're going to start off

this episode with a trivia question worth 10 points and the chance to start off strong contestants buzz in to answer. I didn't ask for this. It's an often misquoted version of a phrase turned meme from the original trailer of DASX Human Revolution.

What is the accurate wording of this line delivered by protagonist Adam Jensen? Greg Miller. I never asked for this. That is correct. Wow. Did you know that? I never asked for this. Wow, impressive. That is 10 points starting off game strong for Greg Miller. 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 our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, Delaney the song, Twining, and Lacks Nomad. For now, let's play Round Robin. Greg keeps looking at me. I'm trying to ignore him, but he has to stop. Can't ignore it. Once that gaze locks eyes with you, you're just like, oh, crap, it's like some Medusa shit. The rules of Round Robin are simple. Round Robin is a pretty straightforward question and answer game about video games. However, today's Round Robin is a special edition.

I'd like to welcome to the show, the one and only, Cozy Bear. He's back. Thank you. Cozy, welcome. Sorry about the Crosstalk. It happens. Thank you once again, blessing. My name is Alexander Kizina, aka Cozy Bear.

And I love making games for the kind of funny crew to play. When I was last on the show in April, I hosted an entirely PlayStation-themed edition of CozyPretty, a Jeopardy-inspired trivia game that I handcrafted in Unity. And today, I've come equipped with another brand-new, supersized installment of CozyPretty, the first half of which is themed around a little company from Kyoto called Nintendo. Blessing. It is with the first set of categories that our contestants will be contending, with today. Yeah, so for Cozy Purdy

Pertie Nintendo edition. Your categories are SNES, aka Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, one of my favorite consoles, the Nintendo GameCube, the Nintendo Wii, and the final category, the Nintendo Switch. Who could have seen that one

coming? Who could have thought? Posey. And yes, with that, we have arrived at the board. The rules for today's installment of Cozy Pardee are mostly the same as last time, with a few slight changes. Each team will take turns

selecting clues on the board and answering them, starting with Tim's team blue, then team orange, then purple, and then back around to blue. At the start of your turn, Barrett will spin the wheel. Barrett, that's her cue. There we go.

To determine where it is on the board that you can select your clue from. So for example, in this particular case, the wheel landed on 40s only, meaning that for Tim's first turn, he can only choose from those spots to start off with. If you get a clue right, you'll receive its point value, but if you get it wrong or don't answer in a timely manner,

the floor will open for the other teams to buzz in and guess the correct answer. Starting with today's episode, any team that answers a clue incorrectly will also now have the point value of said clue subtracted from their score. Love it. So you'll need to be extra careful

when choosing what you want to answer. In addition, you can also now buzz in as soon as it's announced that a clue was answered incorrectly. You don't need to weigh anymore for me to say it's now anyone's guess, which was a bit on the previous episode. And finally, in an effort to make the game a little more fair for all, I have reworked the wheel so that it's less likely to land on lower yielding spots. So you can look forward to that as we play. That's all there is to it. Are we ready to start? I have a question.

Greg has a question. Yes, sir. Do we have to ask, like, do the whole question thing? Like, what is? Oh, answer as a question? I believe so. Okay, just making sure. Also, Tim had a weird little fart.

Oh, you're going to blame me for that? Can you believe what are you getting? I thought that was from that side. Fucking ripping one over here, ripping ass. Wait, no, for a real one, it was the noise. Did you fart? No, that was my shoes. I was going to say,

I was in the middle of the two of us. If we're ranking people on this panel, most likely to fart, you know, like, I can break my time. But I feel like Mike is the person. Oh, we do comedy here. We do. Also, before we get into it, Cozy, I actually do want to shout you out. And then also remind people, of course, we did our Stars in the Bank season, which is where we introduced Cozy Purtie on Game Showdown.

And so in case you missed that, of course, this is the return of Cozy Purtie. I know you mentioned it before. That was a whole PlayStation episode. Of course, right now we're doing Nintendo. But wanted to shout out for people in case they missed it. Cozy, you've done plenty of games for us during our other show, kind of funny happy hour, which is our Patreon exclusive show where people can dial in, talk to us,

do a whole thing, but you usually will dial in with a fun game, which is why we had one of your games happen. We were like, oh, this is so cool. And I was like, I'm going to pluck you out from that and bring you to game showdown so you can display your talents to the showdown audience. And so thank you again for doing this and all your preparation. It's very much appreciated.

Thank you, Cozy. And I know people can see it if they're watching, but the whole production that goes into the game design, you getting into Unity and making the entire cozy pretty set. Really, really cool. Very cool. Thank you so much. It's truly an honor to be here and I'm excited to get this game underway. Without further ado, let's do it. All right. Tim, where are we farting around first? Now, to be an honorable person here. Uh-huh. Isn't it Greg? Because he got the first question right? No. That's not for you. Okay. Okay. Okay, cool. I appreciate you being out there.

Because if I didn't, Greg would never let it down. Okay. Oh, yeah, just because he cheated again like he did start in the big. Here we go. I already get it. It did try to fucking. me the broken buzzer last week. I hurt my buzzing finger. You know what I mean? You should go apologize to Jen. My question to you here. Oh my God.

My question to you here, bless. Yeah. So now, so Tim picks and he gets the first answer. Are we buzzing in on what gets read? I believe Tim gets the first answer. And then we get buzzing. Correct.

Right now, the scores are currently in last place. There was a moment where it got real close and then really people just started running away with it. It is one Snowbike Mike Howard for Team Purple with zero points.

in second place. But because we still half of the game left, it could easily turn to him. It is Greg Miller for Team Orange with 60 points and currently in the lead with a couple of bangor answers in the last couple of rounds here. It was Tim Gettys for Team Blue

with 170 points, but it's still anybody's game. Of course, Mike, don't get too sad. I think you have a lot of opportunity here to catch up. But before we get there, let me tell you 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.

Just four months after the February release of High on Life 2, the Squatch Games team is back with the Kind of Funny crew. Last time the dev stopped by, the game hadn't been released, which forced them into a very painful, agonizing secrecy. Today, though, the NDAs are off, and they can pretty much say whatever they want without getting yelled at. Mostly, they really want to talk about the following, though. A demo is now available for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC as of this week.

Also, High on Life 2 is on sale for the first time as part of Steam Summer Sale, which kicks off June 25th. High on Life 2 hits Nintendo Switch 2 on July 1st.

And we're back. Cozy, let's talk about the second board. Yes. So the Nintendo component of tonight's installment of Cozy Pretty is done, which means that we're ready to move on to the second half of tonight's programming, which is entirely Xbox themed. Indeed, as you can see, the title has changed. to say coserty Xbox edition and a new title and a new theme means that we have a new set of categories to reveal

Lessing take it away of course our first category here is going to be Xbox original followed by Xbox 360 followed by Xbox Connect and then we have Xbox one and then we close out here with Xbox series X and S Love it that's not all and with that we have arrived at the board rules are exactly the same as they were with the previous board, except that every spot is now worth double its previous amount. Oh my dog. So tens are worth 20s, 20s or with 40s, so on and so forth. So you better be extra careful when you choose what it is you want to answer. We will also be starting this board with Team Orange due to us having finished the last board with Team Blue. Are we ready to start? I want to ask a question, Mike, of course, you're pretty far behind here. How confident does this

make you that you can catch up here? Blessing, just a couple of months ago, a team from the a team from Manhattan, a team that represented Brooklyn. The New York Knicks came back from the greatest deficit in NBA finals history. And today, I plan on doing exactly that. The Xbox will be with me

and with you, not with Tim. I'm coming back for this one. Get ready for an all-timer. If you spend $1,500 on a neon Xbox side, you better fucking win this. I'm going to dominate this. Tim, how are you feeling being so far head. I'm feeling definitely not as confident as Mike, but I

think I got some answers here. Okay. I think I'm familiar with these products. Greg, you've been playing a lot of Xbox in the last year or so. Are you feeling? Oh, I'm going to lose. Oh, fair enough. I will say that level of question that we just got for Nintendo about Xbox, we're in for some shit here.

Luckily, Xbox doesn't have that rich of history. So no, you're fine. I almost started making jokes in the front. I was like, don't do that. It's probably going to be an answer. All right. Well, cozy pretty, or cozy pretty, Cozy, let's take it away.

Yeah, let's go ahead. Spin the wheel for Team Orange. This looks so good, by the way and cozy. To start off. Oh, thank you. Let me get that Xbox X slash S for 60. Recent. A survival game that owes its premise

to a 1989 comedy starring Rick Moranis. What is grounded? Correct. All right. A strong start for Greg here. Cranky. He purple.

Mike. You got. There you are here. Thunder now you got it. Thunder now you got it. Xbox series X and S. 100. Let's take the easy ones off the board.

The lives of two families collide under a waning sun in this 2022 adventure game. Asked dust falls. Fuck you. Correct. Wow. You just pulled a freaking Superman's dad and man of steel for that. We're on right now. Um.

Yeah, connected me. Let's go 20 for Xbox 1. An energy drink-soaked action romp from one of Sony's most acclaimed first-party studios. What is sunset overdrive? Best job. Correct. Right back to Orange. One in X and S.

I guess we're done with Tim for this one. But this one was custom built for you, Tim. Yeah. I want you to know that. Yeah, I mean, I know I get the man. Yeah, you get the man. Tell me the man. I'm not going to guess Mike Erniebussie Buzzi.

Team Orange at 200. Oh, yeah. Now you've got to take a big screen. Maybe it'll go. The tables are turning right now. A new episodic conquer game was planned, but never fully completed. for this short-lived game creation suite.

I took demos for it. Yeah. Yeah, I know this one. Oh, wait. What system is this? Xbox one? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think I'm not confident in it,

but I'm not right. What is Spark? It was something like that. Am I in the ballpark? Yeah. You know what? I'll give it to you for this one. It is Project Spark.

It's okay. It's up to go. I might not have given it. but hey. He got the operative words. You did get the operative word. I figured it was fair. I need everyone to know,

just I'm so stuck in the Vin Diesel thing. Like Vin Diesel and Xbox OG generation, I was like, there's no way it's a good game. So I was like thinking about all the shitting. I wasn't thinking about the one of the five best games on the goddamn console. Yeah.

I'll take Xbox Series X and S for 20, please. If it started with a G, it would be voiced by Chris Pratt. I'm, What is Guardians of the Galaxy? Who is Guardians of the Galaxy? I'm afraid that is incorrect. This is Xbox Series?

Yes. Oh, I fucking know. God damn it. Greg. What is Starfield? That is correct. That is correct. Garfield.

Maybe you've heard. I'm a little orange. I'm a little bit of Garfield. Greg is showing Tim. is that too for people who can see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Amazing. I had Garfield on the mind.

If you had not gotten that one, Greg, we would have stripped your name from the No Salt Starfield Reddit.

What system is this? This is connect. What is Sonic the Hedgehog? I'm going to deem that incorrect. Fair enough. I'm not willing to risk. There's too many possibilities here. The 100.1.

I like that we're playing. I don't have, I don't know what points of what. So I'm just right. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. This is your chance to finally get a call.

Yeah, we have to win this. All right. Nobody wants to buzz in. The correct answer for this one is Sonic free riders. Oh. And see, I knew it was a riders,

I don't know. Alan Whit. Yeah. There's download a little bit. All right. Nobody's got it. The correct answer. Greg, you're so close.

Alan Wake's American Nightmare. Man. That's fair. Now, we only have not that many left on the board. It looks like we're a little bit around halfway here. I just want to get. you all the current scores. Okay.

Right now, Tim and Team Blue are sitting at 150. I gotta get up. Mike and Team Purple are sitting at 100. Team Orange because they miss with the Allen Wake one, they're sitting at 120. Everybody's really close here. So now it's time to lock in. What's interesting, you said you want to give it to me, but Cozy didn't say that. And he's the one who gets to the size.

We're tag team here. Me and Cozy, we're, you're in. Interesting. You know, I trust that he trusts me. We're in sync. We're in sync. It's because I yelled at you Cozy. Let's go, OG.

This mascot platformer was advertised as the world's first 40 action game upon its release in 2002. Man, it's tough for you, boy. What is Blinks the Time Sweeper? Correct. You have to take shots. You have to. Great shot. What's 40 about it?

Because he's going through time. I've never thought about that. I'll take Xbox 1 for 60. Crytech conceive this action-adventure game about an empire that men can't stop thinking about. What is Rye's son of Rome? Hell yeah. There he goes. There he goes.

A good hint, cozy. Need points. Let's go Xbox 360 for 80. What that connect and play? An adaptation of an asymmetrical game show that was hosted by Bob Sagitt on NBC. What is 1 versus 100? That's job, Mikey. Correct.

Oh man, that is incorrect. Greg, before you even answered in, before you even answered in, I was going to say as a bonus clue that this is from the same studio that made luminous. But, alas. I know, and then I have one other game bopping around that has that in there. Mike and Tim can buzz in. I'll protect the points.

Check the points. All right. Nobody's got it. The correct answer, Greg. Oh, man. Is it child of Eden? It is Child of Eden. It is Child of Eden.

It is Child of Eden. Yeah. All right, Team Purple. We have six spots left on the board here. I'll take Xbox Connect for 20. The only entry in a spacefaring franchise to feature a parody of a Jason Derulo song. I know it.

Is that the deal? I think it was. No. Connect Star Wars, it was like a multi-purpose. Like there were like a bunch of different modes and like the dancing rhythm section of it was just a mode in the game. It was not predominantly a dance rhythm game. Oh, yeah, I would have sworn it was a dance central thing. All right, we have

Xbox and Xbox 360, Team Blue. 60. For OG. The protagonists of this squad, A quad-based shooter would go on to cameo on an animated show written by Dave Filoni. What is Star Wars? Bounty Hunter. So close.

Star Wars bad company. No. That is incorrect. Can I guess just for Bunsey? Let me know. Republic Commando. Yes, that's it. Yeah.

Mikey shouldn't have buzzed in because as I'm tuning into the score here, again, team blue is sitting at 210, team purple at 100, Team Orange at 20. I think they're shaking up pretty strongly here. Okay.

Okay. Not an impossible comeback though. There's still space. Team Orange. What you got. Connect for 60. Let's stay hot and connect. Stay hot.

A mobile turned console game. that turns your hands and arms into juice-soaked blades. What is Fruit Ninja connect? Correct. Good Greg. Real good. Half break made that, remember? I don't.

How much am I down by 110, correct? You're down by 110. You gotta go big. You gotta go big. OG Xbox for 100, please. This is it, make a break. Developer Blitz games took inspiration from films like Blade Runner and The Running Man to help define this launch type of

titles futuristic aesthetic, Blade Runner, and The Running Man. I don't know the OG Xbox launch lineup. I'm going to have to take a shot. What is brute force? Nope. Ooh. I was thinking about that one when I was crafting this game, but I unfortunately did not include it. That is incorrect.

Gregory. What is Stubbs the zombie? Not a launch game. Oh, that is also incorrect. I was thinking about it. Tim, you know how to do it, but you could do it for the clout. Ice us out. You could do it for the fun of it.

He's iced this out a long time ago. I think this is the question that I see you out, actually. You know what? 100%. You know what? Tim's going to do it. You know fucking what. He's got it.

What is fusion frenzy? No! Yes. Wow. He did it. Running that, baby. Running that. It's a game.

It's being recorded. I didn't think he'd know it. Oh, yeah. He's so good at that. this. Damn. I had cameo on the mind. I'm like,

what the fuck is cameo? I know it's a long title. Let's see if you can follow that on. The first game helmed by Hironobu Sakaguchi after his departure from Square Enix. It would root for Tim's team if it was watching this episode.

What is Blue Dragon? Correct. Too good. He's too hot. Yeah, he's so good. I'll take Xbox Connect for 40. This on Rails RPG was the last game to be released.

Lionhead Studios. What is a project, Milo? Oh, incorrect. For the record, I know these answers are wrong. When Tim was like, oh, stop zombie, I'm no, no shit. A 1950s fucking goddamn zombie

game, I know where it wasn't blade run. All right, nobody else buzz it in for this one? What is Fable Legends? Just for funsy. Not. Ooh, incorrect. That game did release in closed beta, but it did never formally, fully release. Can I Fonzie, guess?

Fonzie it. You've only one. Panzer, Dragoon, Orta. Incorrect. Incorrect. Mike was closest there. Fable the Journey. Fable the Journey.

That brings us to the board to... Look at that. Yo, Barry, can we get a score recap? Right now, the scores currently tied for last place. Both Snowbike Mike

Howard for Team Purple and Greg Miller for Team Orange and Team Purple with zero points. Running away with it. Wow. It is Tim Gettys for Team Blue with 370 points. You know, Coles in preparation for this, he was talking to me about how to do it and he wanted to do a second board and to make it double the score. And at first it was the first board was Xbox. The second board was an intent.

and I told Cozy, we can't do that. Tim will have an advantage. So we got to flip it. Let's do Nintendo first and then Xbox second to make it more even, give Mike a greater chance to come back. I did not expect this to be the final school. Fusion Frenzy, baby. We got here.

I always have Fusion Frenzy back there. That's crazy. Cozy, thank you so much for putting this on, putting the trivia together, and again, making a fantastic software for this. Thank you so much, man. Thank you. Are we going to do the final clue?

close things out here. You know what? You just reminded me that we have a final clue. Let's do the final clue. What does that? All right. Let's bring, go into it. So, throughout this game, Eagle-eyed watchers have probably noticed that even though we covered two full boards of Nintendo and Xbox trivia, but Cole, Cole's angry about this fact. We didn't mention a single game from Rare, which of course developed many games for both companies' consoles across multiple decades. Oh, and by the way, I said, I said Cole but I meant to say mint chip Miller. My mistake.

No, I was Colbark. Well, fear not. Oh, really? It was? Oh, okay. Well, in any way, in either case, fear not because the category for a final extra valuable clue that you'll be answering for this evening is rare games. In a moment, Bear will reveal the final clue.

I'll reveal it aloud, and you'll have 30 seconds on the clock to write down your answer on your whiteboard. Now, I want to make a quick, just executive chat right here right now. initially the plan was if you get this one wrong, don't fret, you won't lose any points. With the insane point deficit right now between Team Blue and the other teams, do we want to make it so that

if Tim gets this wrong, he loses points or do we want to have him guarded from that possibility? How about the start, Tim? Play for realsy. Whoever gets this right wins the game. I'll let Tim decide. What are you reading? I feel like this is such a decisive way.

I'm not trying to play games. James here? No, Tim, just do it. Oh, Tim, you want to be a coward? No, I mean,

Tim, just do it like we're legitimate, like, yeah, okay, I lose 300 and whatever except one. Final score is

one zero zero. You just lose his win. Because we don't get points. It's about you losing points. So fucking risk. $5.50, whatever you want. Come on,

Tim, you've never been afraid. You got this season in the bad. I don't know, man. The box score isn't going to give away what really happened on this show. Yeah,

but there's always the bonus points, bonus stars. Oh, you're right. 80 G's bullshit. I'm not going to get bullied into this. Oh, you don't want to go out in a blaze's glory?

I want to answer the question. You want to be a man? So, I'll old. You don't want to grow up? I don't know. Like, what do you want me to do, but do what you want to do? Then I'm not doing shit.

All right, fair enough. I would do the same thing. I'm not doing shit either if I'm in your position. I do want to answer the question, though. You won't lose any points. You get it right. You get an extra 200 points. So at least Greg and Mike can finish this one.

strong even if they're not the winners. There you go. Are we ready? Yes. Ready. All right. Here we go. Let's reveal the clue. Tipped up the turtle. T.T. The stopwatch and Pipsy the mouse are among the heroes that rallied together to defeat this 1997 games intergalactic antagonist. Here we go. 30 seconds on the clock. Riding down your answers here. As a big fan of rare games, I like this question a lot. It looks like Mike is locked. in. I feel like Greg's drawn something. Like Tim is locked in. Am I supposed to write down the

bad guy? No, you're just writing down the name of the game. All right, we are out of time here. Do we want to, I'll go around we can reveal one at a time. Sure, let's do that. We'll start with Tim. Tim, what you write down?

Real not familiar with any name there. I'm also real not familiar with Jet Force Gemini. What is Jet Force Gemini? Okay. It's a good answer. Intergalactic there. So okay. I don't think there was a turtle, but yeah.

You know, who had fuzzy creatures? Did he Kong racing? It did. It did. Greg Miller, what you got? I drew Banjoa Czui. Whoa. That's actually pretty good.

Yeah. For 30 seconds, that's a pretty impressive drawing there. Damn. All right, cozy. If Tim had agreed earlier not to be a coward and had a lot of himself to lose points on this one, the winner of this game would have been snow bike Mike Howard because the answer was indeed Diddy Kong racing.

Wow. There you go. Yeah, Jeff Forge, Gemini. Too big of a blind spot for me. But you're right. There was that turtle. As soon as I saw Tip-Tup, I'm like, I don't know what this is. Tip-Tup. Yeah, that's Diddy Kong racing right there. Jeff Ford, Gemini did have furry creatures. One of them that you play as is a little puppy, but then you also go around. You save little bear-like creatures. And then you killed ants. So, yeah, you didn't have any of the stuff that we're talking about there in that prompt. But Barrett, if we

get the final final score here. The final score in last place. This is a pathetic performance overall this week. It's probably because of that entry from last week. It's Greg Miller for Team Orange with a whopping zero points in second place. Always the bridesmaid. It is Snowbike Mike for Team Purple with a solid 200 points. And in the lead, the winner.

This week, it is Tim Getty's for Team Blue with three. 170 points. No ragrats. Cozy, where can people find you? You say no ragrets? I love that. You can find me on a blue sky at the cozy bear. That's Koseyber.comat at social.

That's K-O-Z-I-B-E-A-R. Dooskot at social. You can also find all of the other games that I worked on over on my H-I-O account, which is at cozy bear. Dot itch.io. There you go. I love they use the Z.

Thank you. I'm Canadian. They say Z-A-C-N-CAT? I didn't know they'd be doing that. Yeah, I thought that was an overseas thing. The more you know. Yeah, I mean, we kind of are overseas. Got the Great Lakes separating us, parts of us.

Parts, yeah. I can just drive to Vancouver. I want you right now. Anyway, let's bring up the star standings for you. Team Blue, getting a victory here. Good. Getting that edge into first place, now sitting with three stars.

Team Orange, of course, still sitting at two stars. Team Purple, still has zero stars, even though I was positive. this was the episode or were you got close for a star Hey you got close though you got close

and you played a really good game which is what matters of course we have more game showdown for you in the coming week so stay tuned for that until next time it's been our pleasure

to serve you
