Starting point is 00:00:31 I'm your host, Blessing, Adioia Jr. and I'm joined by three contestants, representing three teams. We have representing Team Orange, captain of Team Orange, possessing both the title and a scary-looking briefcase. Doomsday devices, we're calling that. Greg Miller. Hi.
Starting point is 00:00:49 How's it going, Greg? Good. How are you? Doing well. Ray, you're an interesting position over there. I was literally sitting there last week and you moved me over here, and now I got a briefcase and you're threatening me. Catching on a Mike right now.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Save him and Tim. Save Tim and I's relationship. No, no, Mike and I are pals. I would never do that. When it happens to Tim, you're the blood's on your hands. Okay, I'll take the blame for that. I'll just jump to Ray Narvarez. Of course, Ray Narvaez,
Starting point is 00:01:12 I've switched teams this episode representing Tim's Team Blue. Also, you're now in possession of a brief case. Yeah, a briefcase that I don't want to know what's in. And after the last week's performance, I've been recruited to Team Blue. Listen, I'll give you the authority to cash it in if you want. I'll just in, cash it in. I'll think about it. I will ponderate of what's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:01:30 And representing Team Purple, we have. have the one and only snow bike mike what up blessed thanks for having me of course shout out to team purple in the building and also shout out to ray last week great performance big cat thank you i do my best you know they call me the prince of fear because i like hollamine games and like scary games you know what i never heard that no one's ever associated you with hollinois games i'll start i'll start thank you ray prince of fear i'll start i'll start like team purple's coming up coming off of a pretty big high a win last week week before that i'm sorry i'm sorry for sure that i'm sorry week before that to earn three stars. Are you going to continue that? You're in second place right now. You're smelling first place.
Starting point is 00:02:07 Plus, I'm here to help this team. We're thanks to Ray and myself, team purple's on the map. Yeah. And Andy Cortez is going to take us over to the summit. We're going to win this all. Are you going to catch up? And he's not going to clutch up. I believe it out of your shit in the bed. Are you going to feel bad about having to defeat Ray here who brought you victory last week? Yeah, he's really, really good. I'm going to play an honest game. I'm not going to throw anything. Thank you, Ray. I play it right down the middle. Everybody knows that right down the middle. All right. Well, let's see if you can play right down the middle as we begin with a trivia question worth 10 points and the chance to start off strong. Contestants buzz in to answer. In 2014, Kojima released an interactive teaser called PT. Beating PT showed a video teaser for a game starring a Hollywood actor. What was the name of the game and the actor? Greg Miller.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Silent Hills and Norman Redis. That is the correct answer. That's 10 points for Greg. He just knows everything. I wasn't sure if we had to wait for the question to be over. So I'm just trying to be a good little being. It was that thing where he did the thing of, it started an actor. And then I was like, is he going to, I was going to buzz, but is it going to be what do you really want?
Starting point is 00:03:12 Yeah, for the record, you can buzz as I asked the question, but I want to stop right there and won't tell you the rest of the question. Also, if you buzz, you have, is it eight seconds to answer, Barrett? What's the time limit again? All it says here is times up, so I'm going to guess 10 seconds. All right. 10 seconds. And then, can you play the sound they hear if they take too long after Buzzman? Jesus.
Starting point is 00:03:30 There you go. Okay. Legitimate fear. Remember, this is Game Showdown, kind of funny, his nerdy game show, where players compete to earn stars become champion at the end of the season.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Thank you to our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, Delaney the Somme, Twining, and Lax Nomad. For now, let's play Round Robin. The rules are simple. Round Robin is a pretty straightforward question and answer game
Starting point is 00:04:01 about video games. 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 if you give the correct answer that is 10 points. Today's round Robin is all horror game themed. Contestants, are you ready?
Starting point is 00:04:16 Yeah. Round one. Directed by Capcom's Tokuro Fujiwara, 1989's Sweet Home is considered a landmark game and is often cited for laying the groundwork for survival horror. It also served as the main inspiration behind which other Capcom game. Greg Miller.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Resident Evil. that is the correct answer. That's too easy. That's too easy of a question. Have you heard of a sweet home before? I was ready to answer. You didn't answer his question. Let's move on to round number two.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Which Dark Pictures Anthology game is set in a fictionalized abandoned ghost town in Massachusetts? House of Ashes. That is incorrect. Ray. A little hope. That is the correct answer.
Starting point is 00:05:10 That's what I meant. What's funny is I had another half of the question left. But I did a dramatic pause. Just a mess with you guys. What was the whole question? It took place in the fictional Ghost Town in Massachusetts, jumping between present day in the town's colonial witch trials era. You know, that's on me.
Starting point is 00:05:25 I was on me. I was going to give you the full description of the game, but of course, you only need to know that was in Massachusetts. That is 10 points for Ray Narviz. This is the spirit of America, the spirit of what's old and what's new. It's the Massachusetts song I only know from Family Guy.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Spirit of Massachusetts. Spirit of America, the spirit of the red, white, and blue. First time I went to Pax, I sang it a lot. Yeah? Really annoyed David. Were you watching a lot of Fame the guy? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:55 I mean, I love Family Guy. I'm not trying to handle Family Guy. Hell, yeah. It sounded like you were. The first time you went to Pax. What year was that? I might have been the first. It was the first Pax East.
Starting point is 00:06:03 So when was the first Pax East? 2010? Okay. No, the family guy was hot back then. No, that makes sense. They were going to say, like, 2013. I'm like, who's watching a family guy? You got to watch South Park around that time.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Well, Jesus Christ, dude, South Park started when I was in high school. Yeah, but, like, South Park got really good around that. I guess South Park got a good for a long time. Round three. Only stuck 15 years. They found the rhythm. Well, they had like a new hike and stick of truth was coming out. Sure, sure.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Yeah, sure. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Round three. How many years passed between. between the release of the video game until dawn and the release of its movie adaptation. How many years passed between the release
Starting point is 00:06:42 of the video game until dawn and the release of its movie adaptation? Mike. Eight. Eight is incorrect. Ray. Is it nine years? Nine is incorrect.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Greg. 13. 13 is incorrect. You guys are all in the ballpark. Ray, you were the closest. The answer is 10 years. It was 10 years. When did it until dawn come out?
Starting point is 00:07:09 August 25th, 2015. Oh, I thought it was 26. Yeah, 2015. And then the movie came out April 25th, 2025, just last year. Yeah. Nobody gets points for that round, so let's move on to round number four. It's time to order up. Bing, ding.
Starting point is 00:07:24 I want you to arrange the following games. Do we buzz in for this or is the whiteboard? There's a whiteboard situation. I want you to arrange the following games from the Silent Hill franchise. Ah, fuck. In release order. The games are Silent Hill Shattered Memories, Silent Hill the Escape, Silent Hill Downpour, and Silent Hill 4, The Room. Bear has brought up a graphic.
Starting point is 00:07:48 You'll have a minute to jot down the games. Anyone with the correct ordering will earn 10 points for the round. Again, I am looking for these in release order. The games are Silent Hill Shattered Memories. Silent Hill The Escape Silent Hill Downpour
Starting point is 00:08:09 and Silent Hill 4 The room Greg is locked in Is this one where we get to reorder them No
Starting point is 00:08:17 Yeah yeah Yeah Yeah one shot One opportunity Like Eminem in that one song It's your shot To that one movie Opportunity comes
Starting point is 00:08:23 Once in a lifetime But this is no movie There's no Mackay Fife Remember that line? I do remember that line I actually appreciate that line A lot more recently Because I
Starting point is 00:08:32 You watched the movie which I had seen the movie before, but I just never connected that, oh, Mackay Fyfer is in the movie, that's why you referenced him. Yeah, yeah. It's crazy. The lyricist right there, Mike.
Starting point is 00:08:42 He's got it. Come on. You have five seconds left. Please, he's the Prince of Horror. Would you say Prince of Fear? The Prince of Fear. All right, let's start off with Greg. So I'm going,
Starting point is 00:08:57 well, I need to see. It doesn't matter. Four, double penetration, downpour. Yep. Got it. Shattered memories.
Starting point is 00:09:04 and tight end. T.E. Whatever the T.E. The end, the escape. Okay. Mike. Blessing, I'm going to take you
Starting point is 00:09:10 from oldest to newest here, so at the top. I don't know. What did Greg do? I don't know what he did. I think that's what I asked order. I named the one that came out first.
Starting point is 00:09:23 That's what I asked you to do. Silent Hill, shadowed memories. Okay. Silent Hill, the room. Silent Hill, the escape. Silent Hill downpour is the newest release. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Ray, what you got for me? I went Silent Hill 4, Silent Hill Shattered Memories, The Escape, and Downpour. Okay. I stopped writing Silent Hill because that seemed redundant. Sadly, none of you guys got it. Oh, you hate to see it.
Starting point is 00:09:51 So the first game was Silent Hill 4, The Room, that came out in 2004. After that was Silent Hill, the Escape. That came out in 2007. Silent Hill Shattered Memories. Oh, so close. Yeah. came out in 09.
Starting point is 00:10:05 And then Silent Hill Downpour came out in 2012. These are all varying levels of obscure. Of course, Silent Hill 4 is the main line. Yeah, yeah. But some of these, I forget which one of these. I think Downpour might have been like a mobile or like online. I think the escape is a mobile one. Oh, the escape might be what I'm thinking of.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Yeah. Because that's definitely came on console. That's where it threw me. Yeah, you're right. Because Silent Hill Downpour came out on 360. 6. Yeah, that era. So nobody got points for that round.
Starting point is 00:10:31 No partial points either. No, yeah, it sucks. Yeah. Round five. Bioshock. Are you buzzing? We're buzzing in. We're back to buzzing.
Starting point is 00:10:39 We're back to buzzing. Bioshock allows the player to use special abilities called plasmids with names such as Electrobolt and cyclone trap. What is the name of the plasmid, which pulls a targeted object towards the user and allows them to throw it forward? Oh, God. Mike. Telekinesis. That is the correct. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Where to go, go, bo, bo, bo, bo, bo. That's points on the board for Team Purple. that has an audience in the background. They're excited. Routing only for Team Purple. Round number six. That's crazy. Which light gun game was cited
Starting point is 00:11:12 during Indianapolis's attempt to ban violent video games in 2000? Mike. House of the dead. That is the correct answer. He's streaking right now. He's got heat. He's got heat.
Starting point is 00:11:24 That's a high. I like how it looks. Round seven. Which horror game series features a protagonist named after two science fiction writers Arthur C. Clark and Isaac Asimov. Mike. Dead space. Dead space.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Waiting for the question to be over. Like it's Jeopardy. I keep waiting. Are you hot right now? Prince of fear right here. Yeah. No, I'm sorry. They call them out of here. Round eight. What fear does the titular term referenced in the video game phasmophobia refer to you? Mike. Ghost hunting. Greg, Ghosts. Ghosts.
Starting point is 00:12:07 I got you. Pretty close there. I thought about it. I'm pretty close. If you can't hear it, Andy's candy in my name. Phasmophobia does refer to the fear of ghosts. Sadly,
Starting point is 00:12:22 hunting has nothing to do with it, but you do go ghost hunting in the game. You got to be stunlocked there for this. I understand how you got there. I said it so confidently. Round number nine is going to be a special round called Licensed to Kill. I'm going to read to you the gameplay description and developer of a licensed game based on a horror franchise.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Your job's the buzz in and tell me the name of the game. Each correct answer is worth 20 points. I have a lot here. I'll tell you how many rounds. I have like seven rounds here. Okay. I'm going to give you the gameplay description and the developer at the end. Are you ready?
Starting point is 00:12:55 Yeah. Round one. This is a single player game with an emphasis on stealth and survival horror. the player controls the protagonist from a first person perspective and must explore a space station and complete objectives while avoiding enemies. Ray. Alien isolation? Alien isolation is the correct answer.
Starting point is 00:13:15 That's 20 points for Ray. Next one. The game was an asymmetrical multiplayer video game with up to eight people. Greg. You got me good on that one because I cut you off too early. Yeah. Probably 13th.
Starting point is 00:13:33 That is the correct answer. It's obviously what queued for me is such a big fan, but then I was like, wait, was it eight people? That's why got me hung up. How many counselors were there? Another fun thing for you is in the wording for that one. Notice how I said that game was and not the game is because he listed, I believe, the game doesn't exist anymore.
Starting point is 00:13:50 It's dead. Why can I throw that? You know what I'm just saying? You know how much that game is? I'm putting out my own genius. Did you really like this game? I love it. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:13:59 I wasn't sure if this is a bit. No, no, this is real. Just like the briefcase. Next one This game is played in third person The player controls a former detective Trapped in an abandoned asylum filled with traps Ray
Starting point is 00:14:12 Saw That is the correct answer Saw the video game That's 20 points for Ray Next one This is a single player First Person Survival Horror game The player controls a former police officer
Starting point is 00:14:25 The game plays out in a semi Open World making players explore different parts of the areas which can sometimes lead to abandoned structures, campsites, or little crevices that only your dog can access. The player is able to... Greg. Blair Witch.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Blair, which is the correct answer. Never played it. Nice. Good pull. Next one. The game's main mode features victims attempting to escape a family of cannibals. Mike. Texas chainsaw massacre.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Texas chainsaw massacre is the correct answer. I mean, you guys are really good at this. Next one. This is a point and click adventure game played from a third person perspective. The player character tries to survive and protect a young girl. Treadtale's the Walking Dead. Telltales the Walking Dead is the correct answer. This is an asymmetrical survival horror game with up to 10 people able to play in one 15-minute match.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Three players are selected to control the villains. Mike. Shit. Among us. That is incorrect. I'm also realizing that I didn't put the right answer for this one, so I might have to double check it. Double check.
Starting point is 00:15:40 I'm pretty sure I know the answer in my brain, so I'll keep going. So yeah, playing one 15-minute match. Three players are selected to control the villains whose objectives are to trigger a detonation. I definitely know what this is. The other seven players control the humans whose objectives are to escape the map alive, developed by Ilphonic. Can I hear one more time, sorry? Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:03 This is an asymmetrical survival horror game with up to 10 people. Greg. This is killer clowns from outer space. Killer clowns from outer space is the correct answer. At Texas chainsaw written for this one. I'm like, I know that's not right. That's 20 points for Greg there. That brings us to the end of that special round and the end of round Robin.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Barrett, give us the score. Oh, wow. Right now tied for a second. Let's go, Mike. It is our guest contestant two weeks in a row, but now playing for a different team. It is Ray Narvaez Jr. for Team Blue and Snow, Michael, Michael for Team Burple with 50 points each.
Starting point is 00:16:45 And running away with it right now, will he fumble it? Back to back weeks will have to wait and find out. Because right now, in the lead, it is Greg Miller for Team Orange with 110 points, but it's still anybody's game. Greg, you don't look happy about being in first place. I'm just here. You know, I got the Prince of Darkness next to me.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Prince of Fear. Ray's about to turn the briefcase on him. I'm not. I don't know why you keep thinking him to do that. Because you said you'd do it. I said maybe. If he turns the briefcase on you, are you ready to inflict on me? Yeah. No, no, Ray's not going to turn on me.
Starting point is 00:17:23 I see he's going to turn on Mike. Yeah. I turn the case in on Mike. Oh, okay. That was the agreement. But if he does it on the word, you know what I mean? Okay. A lot of pressure.
Starting point is 00:17:31 A lot of pressure as we move towards the second half of the show because it's still anyone's game.

It is your job to buzz in and guess what this game is. Each round has five possible bullet points I may reveal. The earlier you guess the correct game, the more points you'll receive, with 50 being the highest. So if you guess after the first clue, you'll get 50 points.
Starting point is 00:20:29 If you guess after the second clue, you get 40 points and so on. and so forth. You can only buzz in once per bullet point. Contestants, are you ready? Yes, sir. Round number one. Bullet point worth 50. Not including mobile, handheld, or re-releases.
Starting point is 00:20:46 This is the fourth-released console game of this franchise. Greg. Resident Evil 4. That is incorrect. I like it, though. Mike. Silent Hill. That is incorrect.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Oh, I should mention we're not in horror game territory anymore. I thought the whole fuck you're sorry. I thought the whole show was a horror. The question was horror. The first half was horror. The first half was horror.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Ray, you gotta say that. You gotta say that. That's on me. That's on me. Ray, you can buzz it if you want. Just got to feel bad.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Dead space. Thanks. Dead space. It's not just kidding. It's not the correct answer. Next bullet point. Worth 40 points. This game,
Starting point is 00:21:31 primarily features melee combat, platforming, and puzzles. Mike. Give me Final Fantasy. That is incorrect. The first bullet point, not including mobile handheld or re-releases, this is the fourth-released console game of this franchise,
Starting point is 00:21:46 and this game primarily features melee combat, platforming, and puzzles. He didn't even put Final Fantasy for it. Oh, I was supposed to put a number. That's my apology. Yeah, what'd you say? For Final Fantasy. I wasn't even listening past Final Fantasy.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Is Greg casting a spell? he's calling upon the demon. I'm working it out. I'm working it out of what game that would be in the franchise. Oh wow, you're already in franchise. I mean, I can't just say the name of the thing. I got it. I know that game.
Starting point is 00:22:14 So it'd be fourth in the lineup. Platformer. Haley. Greg. Assassin's Creed Revelations. That is incorrect. Oh, wow. Was I right on that, though?
Starting point is 00:22:31 That would be the fourth game, right? Because it would be one. Yeah, thank you very much. Yeah. I nailed it. Ray. It's Sly Cooper Thieves in Time. That is incorrect.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Oh, nice. I like the guesses you guys are going out there. This is a better game. Mine too. I get a hell Mary. Our 30 point clue. This game released during the 2010s is part of a series which had a new title announced in June 2026. Oh.
Starting point is 00:22:58 This game released during the 2010s is part of a series which had a new title announced in June 2026. which had a new title announced in June 26th that is Mike I only know five oh fuck I fucked up the legend of Zelda Twilight Princess That is incorrect
Starting point is 00:23:17 Craig Crazy Taxi 4 That is incorrect Okay Oh what is the fourth one Uh Alright Ray
Starting point is 00:23:31 Legend of Zelda Ocarina up time That is incorrect. I kind of ignored that part. I kind of ignored the bold point of work. Can we get the recap? Because I forgot about the platform. Crazy taxi.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Puzzles, crazy taste. I got so hooked up on a new game. What was the new game? The quick recap for you, our first clue was that not including mobile handheld or re-releases, this is the fourth released console game of this franchise. The next clue was that this game primarily features melee combat, platforming, and puzzles. And then the third clue was that this game released during the 2010s is part of a series, which had a new title announced in June
Starting point is 00:24:05 20.26. Our 20 point clue. This is the first installment in the series to offer multiplayer which is online only for up to eight players. This is the first installment in the series to offer multiplayer, which is online only for up to eight players. I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:24:33 All right, it looks like no... I flood the zone thing. There's just so much information now that I'm trying to make an answer. Mike. Gears of War Four. That is. incorrect. Gears of more. Our final
Starting point is 00:24:46 clue for 10 points here. This game which takes place in a world based in Greek mythology is a prequel. Greg Miller. Oh, well he's God of war ascension.
Starting point is 00:25:04 That is the correct. What were you reaching for there? You couldn't find the section word. I was like one, two, three, 20 ascension, yes, which had the multiplayer in there and is a prequel. I forgot about it. And that's an awkward about it.
Starting point is 00:25:19 It's an awkward at time. It's just an time 3D so I don't feel that much of an idiot. God War-Lauve announced during June 2026. Yeah, May the Combat Platforming Puzzles. You guys get the deal. We see what you did there. That is 10 points for Greg.
Starting point is 00:25:33 It took us a long time. Round two is a super scope round. I prepared a screenshot from a video game. This screenshot is extremely zoomed in. If you can guess what? what the game is at its most zoomed in, you'll earn 50 points. If no one can get it, we'll move on to level two.
Starting point is 00:25:50 I think I speak for all of us when I say 50 points is too many. Started at 20. Can you make it 70? Don't check the math. And then yes, if you guys can't get it at 50, we'll move on level two where we'll be slightly zoomed out, so on and so forth at level 10. You'll get the full image. Remember these are horror games.
Starting point is 00:26:08 These are not horror games anymore for the record. Barrett, bring up level one for 50 points. So you can get it here. Is this where we can buzz in and buzz again or whatever? You can buzz in once per level. Greg. Team Fortress 2. That is incorrect.
Starting point is 00:26:28 All right. The other two. Okay, well, I don't want to let you go. No, no, I got to take my freebies here. I'm going to go with Sly Cooper. That is incorrect. Ray. I'll go death loop.
Starting point is 00:26:43 That is incorrect. Baird if we can get level 2. Let's see if that helps at all. Barrett laughing from the other room. At level 2. Worth 40 points here. Mike. Batman, Arkham Asylum.
Starting point is 00:27:01 That is incorrect. Ray. Oh, sorry, Greg. Ghostbusters the video game on Wii, the PlayStation 2 skew. On Wii, the PlayStation 2 skew? We and PlayStation 2, Sherrerskew. Ah, I see.
Starting point is 00:27:16 That is incorrect. Thank you. No skew of Ghostbusters. I have no idea. I don't have a guess. All right, let's move on to level three. See if that helps. Mike.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Luigi's Manch. Now you want a number? Did you tell me? He's got to have it. Okay, hold up, hold up, hold up. He's thinking. Oh, shit. How many have they made?

Starting point is 00:28:00 thank you. What was the subhead of that one? Dark, Dark of the moon? Number two is dark. Dark moon? I don't, did three even have a... No, I think it was Louis just three.
Starting point is 00:28:08 I thought that yellow bit was like part of a HUD. And then I did the remaster of two. Good job, Mike. That's why I knew it. Yeah. Yeah. And I knew from the switch back there. It's like,
Starting point is 00:28:20 I've seen this before. Yeah. Because I played this game like within the years. Oh, yeah. I haven't played it since launch. Recently. But you played three within the year? Yeah, very recently I played this.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Oh, wow. All right. We're back to our regular round here of bullet points with round number three. Our first bullet point worth 50 points. This game is rendered with 2.5D graphics. Mike. Octopath Traveler. That is incorrect.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Ray. The Adventures of Elliot. That is incorrect. Greg. Blood rain. That is incorrect. Our 40 point. I don't think it'd ever heard Greg say blood rain before.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Yeah. Wow. That's a deep cut. Thank you. We're back. It's not the game I think I'm trying to say, though. You know where I'm at, though, right? You know what blood rain is?
Starting point is 00:29:16 The red-headed vampire woman. Yeah. No, I know. As I said it, I knew it, but I'm thinking of the other one that Ega did. Blood-stain ritual of the night. I'll keep that in here in case I need on the next thing. All right. Our 40-point clue.
Starting point is 00:29:29 It was a good answer. I'm not what I meant to say. The game received positive reviews praising its story, gameplay, and use of its license. Oh. He received positive reviews praising its story,

Starting point is 00:30:26 In this game, the villain tricks the hero into killing a loved one, turning the hero into the antagonist of the story. Can I hear it all over again, please? Yeah, this game is rendered with 2.5D graphics. I'll point out 2.5D, not HD2D. Don't tell them that. Don't help them.
Starting point is 00:30:44 I'm just saying they're not, it could be, but they're not the same thing. I know. This game is rendered with 2.5D graphics. The game received positive reviews praising its story, gameplay, and use of its license. In this game, this is a 30-point clue. The villain tricks the hero into killing a loved one,
Starting point is 00:31:01 turning the hero into the antagonist of the story. Story is all this time. Yeah. The license is holding me up. If nobody has it, from the 30-point clue, we'll move on to the 20-point clue. This game is a fighting game. Oh, there you go.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Rended with 2.5D graphics. Greg. Injustice. That is the correct answer. Injustice, God's Among Us. That is 20 points for Greg. The last clue would have really given it away. The North American cover art features Cyborg, Wonder Woman, the Joker, the Flash, Dream, etc.
Starting point is 00:31:46 You get the deal. Let's move on to round number four. a pretty commanding lead from Greg. Let's see if he keep it. And if he can happen. Yeah, we got to lock in right. Here we go. Let's see if Greg can keep it because points are now worth double.
Starting point is 00:31:57 Oh. Bam-m-ma-ma-m-m-boh. And this is another special round called Sounded Out. I have five sound effects from one game. I have Barrett play them one at a time.

Starting point is 00:32:46 Putting Ray back in the game. That's 80 points for Ray. Only 40 points away now for first place. Almost like his whole round is broken and stupid. Well, I mean, doing that only two rounds is very impressive, you know. That's why the points go. lower. Congratulations on that, Ray.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Thank you. We're on to our fifth and final round of the episode. Oh. What are points worth here? This round is still worth double the points. Ray, tank the shit. Don't do this. I can't do anything.
Starting point is 00:33:13 It's all you, Ray. You can't, but I'll do my best. Think about who helped you. None of us, but somebody. And I'm asking you. Yeah, my wife is out there. Wouldn't you mean it. The answer to this one is not a game.
Starting point is 00:33:26 this is bullet points about a character. I'm looking for the name of the character. Horror character. A horror character. No, it could be, but it's not necessarily just a horror character. Our first clue worth 100 points. This character is primarily seen wearing blue.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Greg. Mega man. Mega man is incorrect. Listen, I'm a better trivia curated. But you do that thing where you let us get in our heads. I do. I like it. Ray.
Starting point is 00:33:57 A vault dweller from Falls. Vault Dweller from Fallout is not the correct. I was about to pop off. Really good guess, though. Okay, known for wearing blue.

Our 80 point clue, which is still enough to put Ray at the top here. Shut up. 80 point clue. The player can use this character's staff for light, heavy, and charged attacks.
Starting point is 00:34:44 An upgrade transforms the staff into a bow. Ray. Kenna? From Kenna Bridge of Spirits, or what the game is called? Kana is the correct answer. Earning Ray 80 points. Holy shit Wow

Starting point is 00:35:29 Yeah Barrett was the final score The final score The final score surprisingly in last place. Usually the Bridesmaid, never the Bride. It is Snowbike Mike for Team Purple with 50 points. Somehow.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Wow. Some way blowing it back to back weeks. It is Greg Miller for Team Orange with 170 points and winning it. In back to back weeks, not for the same team. It is Ray Narvian Jr. for Team Blue with 200. 110 points. Why make those last categories worth so many points? What's the point of the fucking games?
Starting point is 00:36:09 Because they're all hard. The fact, Ray, just keep in mind, Ray was able to get level two for both the back-to-back last round. Yeah. That's a feat. That's impressive. I play a lot of video games. Congratulations, Ray, of course.

Starting point is 00:36:52 Congrats on back-to-back wins. Thank you so much. I think Greg's a great job. He's going to ban me from this office. I'm getting thrown out immediately. Why you can only come by once every seven. Yeah, what? And you're going to leave.
Starting point is 00:37:03 leave. And so, like, you're going to be undefeated in game show. That's perfect. I love that. You got to come back. We got to get more at bat.
