Today we're asking who's that video game character. Get ready for Game Showdown. Yo, what's up? Welcome to Game Showdown. I'm your host Blessing at Aalje Jr. I'm joined by three contestants representing three teams. We got Tim Geddes representing Team Orange. Let's go.

We got Andy Cortez representing Team Purple. I'm happy to be here. And we have Mr. Stars in the Bank. Greg Miller representing Team Blue. How you doing? I want to congratulate you and having the first ever game showdown t-shirt up on right now. Kind of Funny.com slash store. I know it's a big day for you.

The first ever. It's the first time you've ever had a shirt up there, right? The Game Showdown has never had a shirt before. Oh, I see. I see. We were saying, yes, yes. Yes. If you love this show, everybody,

go get the Game Showdown shirt right now. Kind of Funny.com slash store. Not much to explain. People know. The Tim Getty's farewell tour. The Tim Gets farewell tour is upon us. We have been giving Tim Gifts all week long. We will continue every business day until April 2nd,

as the shirt says, when I take the three stars I'm owed because of stars in the bank. In the last 10 years, years, the word bully really kind of changed. You know what I mean? It kind of turned into like a bad word. You know what I mean? Like it used to just be like, oh, description, whatever.

Now it's like, oh, if you say it's bad. At what point is this bullying? You know what I mean? I mean, I understand that. And I've seen a lot of people, oh, you're going to ruin the switch to a wreck. This sucks. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah.

You can address all your complaints to blessing. All right? I didn't, I didn't ask for the weight of stars in the bank. He didn't want this. You gave this to me and said I can cash it in whenever I want. I mean, you want it. It's a six-person gauntlet. Sure.

And you competed for it. But you put it into our lives. You're the devil here. You're the one who gave us the thing. Oppenheimer didn't know what he was doing when you made that bomb. How's that feeling, Mr. Murphy, okay? I have been feeling a lot like Oppenheimer with this whole thing. And so that's the thing.

This is a monster of your own creation. You made me, Mr. Stars in the bank. You agreed to Carl's thing that it's for three stars now. I don't know if I did that. It's very clearly on camera that happened or whatever. And so, like, this is just how it is. I'm sorry that I had to go make a shirt for you, that I made this happen for you. I'm sorry I'm giving Tim cakes.

like it's a bad thing over here. The cake said die on it. But it had three stars on it. And it didn't say die Tim. A lot of people are misconstruiting that too. It didn't say die Tim. We never really addressed it. I can't help what they ride on the cake.

It's a safe way. So just kidding that way. I think you can't. I mean, that's the whole thing. Heard it both ways. We're going to start off with a trivia question where 10 points and the chance to start off strong contestants buzz in to answer. Look at him cheating on his phone.

What's he doing? Greg. He's on his phone's away. He's on his phone. I gotta make a call and confirm a reservation for a lunch that we're doing for Kevin's 10th that ever. You know what? That's a great point. Tim, please feel free to leave, Tim. Feel free to go leave for a second.

Oh, it's our fucking name. Go, go, go. So I lied earlier. You're not going to buzz in the answer for this one because 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 will get the points. If you all go over, then the lowest guess gets the points.

Got it. Contestants, are you ready? Yeah. Yes. Tim is running back. He's coming back. Yeah, he heard it all. He heard it all clearly.

Tim, you want to go the highest possible. High as possible. In the popular 2018 video game among us, including post-launch updates and not including the player lobby, how many playable maps are there? Now, Barrett, who won last week? Tim. Do you remember which team? What was the last episode?

Ben Starr won't. Oh, yes, you are correct. Ben Starr has been for Tim last week. So Tim, you'll get the first guess. Eight. Tim says eight. Greg. Nine.

Rex says nine. Andy. Six. Andy says six. The correct answer for how many playable maps are there in Among Us is five. There are five playable maps. That means Andy gets the points for getting the closest. The maps are, of course, the Skeld, Mirah, HQ, Polis, the airship, and the fungal.

of course remember this is disgustingly you're like that dog on TikTok I've been watching recently they're like no you're not getting any sacks and he goes this is Game Showdown Kind of funny

Round one. In 1995, it was highly theorized that one video game was the most installed piece of software that year, more so than Windows 95 itself, leading to Bill Gates contemplating possibly purchasing the studio who made the game. What is the name of this revolutionary first person? Tim. Doom. Doom is the correct answer. That is 10 points to Tim. Big fan.

Round two. Give me a lot of gifts. That's why I like them someone. In the 2016 indie hit Stardy Valley, players take on the responsibility of managing a farm. This involves making friends with characters around town, fishing, cooking, crafting, planting crops, and harvesting resources.

Our next round, round number five. in the third season of Netflix's House of Cards, a popular mobile game found itself as a minor.

Yeah, you buzz for this. Greg Miller. Monument Valley is the correct answer. I heard kind of feudy. Me too. Sorry, back into the game showdown, my bad. Back into round, Robin. That doesn't affect me.

Next round. Bear, I think I fucked up the numbering on this one, just a heads up. I don't know if you see this, but I think there's a number here missing, so maybe jump ahead in terms of the rounds or keep an eye on it, just so you have visibility. Next up,

Our next round, we got a messy mashup for you. Love it. I'm going to read to you a clue, which will be the description of a game. The answer will be the name of two games mashed up together. For example, in this game, sneak through top-down corridors while defending the planet from alien invasion. The answer there would be Metal Gear's of War. Contestants, are you ready? Yes, sir.

Become a lethal Shinobi assassin and powerful legendary samurai as you explore a beautiful open world in a time of chaos. Published by the same folks as Hotline Miami, this reimagining. of a classic 1997 FPS features gunplay, sword play, comedy and mystical powers. Andy Cortez. Assassin's Creed, Shadow Run. That is incorrect. Become a lethal Shinobi assassin

and powerful legendary samurai as you explore a beautiful open world in a time of chaos. Published by the same folks as Hotline Miami, this reimagining of the classic 1997 FPS features gunplay, sword play, comedy, and mystical powers. I heard aside from Roger in the back.

I think Roger has it. Oh, he doesn't. Oh, I can't go again. You already went. I have it. Dang. I have it. Oh, man.

I'll give you five more seconds here to make peace. What if they don't guess, can I guess again? For a tip of the hat, I'll give you. Yeah. And Greg Miller. Assassin's Creed. Shadow of the Urtree. That is incorrect.

Tim doesn't look like he has a guess. He does not. Andy, what is your guess for a tip of the hat? Is this Assassin's Creed? Shadows with the damned? No. Oh, damn. The correct answer here. Assassin's Creed Shadow Warrior.

Shadow Warrior. Didn't have that. Did not have any. It wasn't close that one. I see the game. I see the game. Andy was close. I see the game, yeah.

It's funny? Damn it. There's Gaffaws in this? Shadow War. Yeah, I mean, immature humor. It's one of those ones where it's like, I don't know if we could release this one in in 2025. But back in the day, you know, it had some ha-ha, some he-hees.

Next round. Published by the same company. as blinks the time sweeper. The first title in this series focused on events in Europe, Africa, and Asia, spanning from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. Nine total games have been released in this franchise, which has seen commercial and critical success

Our next round is a special round. I'm calling publisher puns. I'm going to give you short puns slash clues. Each of the answers to these clues is a video game publisher. You will get it as we go. We have, I think, about nine rounds here.

from 2D territories. Greg. 3D realms? 3D realms is the correct answer. Greg's on a roll here. Next one, I don't like my games willed with pride.

I like them more this way. Sorry, I don't like my games filled with pride. I like them more this way. Andy. Humble. Humble is the correct answer. Our last one, it's pronounced how it's spelled.

Tim. Play on. Play on. Play on is the correct answer. Now from here on. That was a good one. Thank you. I appreciate it.

Very good. Very good. Now from here on, correct answers are worth 10 points, and I'm not asking questions to the group. These are tailored questions for each contestant. And you only have 15 seconds to answer, starting with Greg. Greg, Sid is a cranky villager in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Animal Crossing New Horizons and was added to Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. What type of animal is Sid? Greg says frog. Frog is incorrect.

Now, since Greg got this wrong, Andy and did. Tim, you have the opportunity to rob this round from Greg, and I'm going to give you multiple choice options here. The question is, what type of animal is Sid and Animal Crossing? Your choices are A, tortoise, B, bear, or C, elephant.

I would have been wrong on that one, too. Andy. Elephant. Andy says elephant. Elephant is the correct answer. That is 20 points for Andy Cortez. I just looked like one. Yeah. I was struggling to see him. I was seeing Sid from Ice Age.

Yeah. Yeah. I was thinking of Sid from Toy Story. And then we did this and I was like, I remember. I thought I don't know. What if I told you Sid was spelled CYD? Changes everything. Yeah.

Yeah. Our next one is for Tim Getty's. Tim, what was the last ever game to be released internationally on the Nintendo Wii? Good question. I ate a bunch of apples before this. Yeah? Really good.

Man. Refresh. Oh, wait. Just dance? You have a specific year? Oh, easy. stupid idiot. You're not a good baby.

You're not a bad baby. You're a bad baby. You're a bad baby. Tim says Justine's 2020. Justine's 2020 is the correct answer. I was not expecting you to get that. It's like we don't even care about the timer anymore, you know? The timer was long gone by that point.

Greg had me distracted with the apples. I was even looking at the timer, my bet. Tim, that is the correct answer. That is 20 points there. Way over time. Yeah. 15 seconds. You said Jess stands at the toy or like the.

15 second point and then bless followed up with the oh yeah that is for that my answer we're doing it off um our last one here is for Andy Andy Andy what year did the first call of duty game release?

Year? What year did the first call of duty game Call of duty? Call of duty. Game? Yeah. That is 1999. Andy says 1999. That is incorrect. Of course Tim, Greg, you have the opportunity

to rob this round from Andy. I got multiple choice options for you here. The question is, what year the first called duty game release? Is it a? I'm so on fire. 1997, just whichever one that is, that's what the answer is.

1997 is incorrect. The options are 2002, 2003, or 2004? 2004. Tim says 2004, 2004 is incorrect. Nobody gets it. 2002 is also incorrect.

2003 is the year. I was between three and four. Fuck. It came out October 29th, 2003 on PC. Yeah, I didn't play Cod, but these are all tailored to us, so that's cool. That does bring us to the end. I know about Cod blessing. I didn't play just dance.

You're the headshot. You know we. You know we news. I don't know Cod. Don't you have like a million hours in the first person shooter guy, you know? Yeah, you like first person. You would do soap. I didn't know who Soaphtavish was.

That is a good point. You didn't know who Soapitabish was. I did. That does bring us to the end of round Robin. Barrett, what's the current score? Right now, the current score tied for last place. It is both Andy Cortez for Team Purple and Tim Geddes for Team Orange with 50 points each

and the man running away with it locked in this week. It is Greg Miller, Tim's best friend for Team Blue with 110 points, but it's still anybody's game. These are all gifts for Tim. Yeah.

Offers subject to T&Cs. And we're back. Let's play Critical hit. Hold on that. Kahnofi.com. slash store. Kind of funny.com. I still if you want to get this shirt.

The rules are simple. Critical hit is a game about video game reviews. I'm going to read to you review blurbs about a game, and it is up to you to buzz in and guess what the game the review is based on. Each round has three different blurbs for the same game. The earlier you guess the game, the more points you'll get with a max of 30 points per round. But you only have one guess per blurb. The add-on here is that if you get the game right,

you have the chance to guess the exact metacritic score of the game for a critical hit to double your points for the round. Contestants, are you ready? Ready. You played this game plenty of times before. Let's start off with round number one. The first review comes from Game Informer, who gave this game an 8.3 out of 10 and says,

if your interest lies solely with this single player experience, and let's be frank, this is why we counted down the days until this game's release. I walked away from it pleased, but also unfulfilled. This game eventually becomes the sequel I hope for, but spends too much time getting there. Greg Miller. On chart of three.

That is incorrect. If Andy or Tim don't have a guess, I'll move on to the second. Tim's thinking about it. He's thinking about it. He's thinking. No, we were solid too. Nope. Andy's not buzzing in.

So we'll move on to the second blurb. IGN gave this game a 9.1 out of 10 and says, and let's not forget about the multiplayer, which is actually set before the events of the first game while a Civil War was raging in the city. Andy. Resistance. Resistance.

is incorrect. There are story bits built into this as well, and people familiar with the fiction will be pleased to see how the modern warfare style leveling and unlock structure is bookended. Greg. Resistance 2. That is incorrect. Our book

ended by Cinematics, that's the end of that. Tim has the option to buzz in here, but it looks like he's got nothing. Tim. Metal gear solid 4. Oh. That is incorrect. Our last blurb comes from Giant Bomb, who gave this game 4 out of 5. and says, returning to this city, even a different part of the city, is naturally going to be less impressive.

But the smart additions on the gameplay side make this game rewarding in a different way. While those who want to know more about the underwater city will find just enough to make the return trip. Greg Miller. Bioshock, Bioshock, Bioshock, Bioshock, is the correct answer. That is 10 points, but Greg, you do have the option to double your 10 points if you can tell me the exact Xbox 360 Metacritic of Bioshock 2. 82. 82 is not the correct answer.

It's an 88 on Metacritic for Bile Shock 2. Let's move on to round number two. This first one comes from The Verge, who didn't give this game a score, but did say, despite being a largely linear game, this game gives you a surprising amount of freedom for how you want to approach things. There's melee combat,

a wide range of weapons you upgrade over time, and even a high-tech glove that basically gives you force powers so you can pick up things and toss them around. It's a lot there to chew on. Yeah, there it is. Sure is. If nobody's going to buzz in, I'll move on to the second blurb from IGN, who gave this game a 7 out of 10 and says, this is a supremely atmospheric and action-heavy tour through a spectacular slaughterhouse set in distant space.

Andy. Dead space. Dead space. is incorrect. Fuck, I can feel this one. This one's nipping at the sides of my brain. I don't have the answer. I'm not going to buzz in, but...

We'll move on to the third and final blurb. Uriel Gamer recommends this game and says, ultimately, this game's frenzied action and brutal battles have still impressed me in all the right ways, drawing on all that makes Dead Space brilliant and building upon that impressive framework. Andy? Callisto Protocol?

The Callisto Protocol? protocol is the correct answer. Good job, maybe. Thank you. That's 10 points. You can double those 10 points. You can tell me the exact PS5 Metacritic of Colistow. PS5 Metacritic.

I'll go with 79. Good answer. The correct answer for the PS5 Metacritic. Of course, PS5 being the most reviewed platform, 69. Oh, shit. Damn. Yeah. Fuck, that means it got like a bunch of five and fours.

God damn. Our next round. That's surprising. Round number three. IGN gave this game an 8.2 out of 10 and says, Without a single word of text, the developer managed to create a pair of sweet, endearing characters that I genuinely wanted to root for. Small details, like how they cower in fear when they see a ghost, add a nice dollop of charm

to the whole package. Nobody's going to buzz in. I'll move on. I think I'm way out of pocket on this because I just never played it, but I don't know anything about it really. Brothers. Brothers is incorrect. I can remember if they was talking.

I was playing. I'm with you there too. I was thinking that. I got nothing. Our second blur comes from Slant Magazine who gave this game a 9 at a 10 and says this is a powerful gesture of confidence by Nintendo,

a spinoff game with more original ideas than most company's new IPs. Andy. Luigi's Mansion. Luigi's Mansion is incorrect. Regington. Can I hear the first blurb we can? Yeah, please.

I'll read both them for you. I Jan gave an 8.2 out of 10 and says, without a single word of text, the developer managed to create a pair of sweet, endearing characters that I genuinely wanted to root for. Small details like how they carry in fear when they see a ghost, add a nice dollop of charm to the whole package. And the Slant Magazine gave it a 9 out of 10 and says,

this is a powerful gesture of confidence by Nintendo, a spinoff game with more original ideas than most companies new IQ. Greg Miller. It's not at all spent. Zach and Wiki. I'm just happy I was able to pull that out of my ass. You know what?

Zach and Wiki is not the correct answer. That's your tip of the hat, though. That's what you appreciate it. I appreciate that one. Our final blurb comes from CNET, who gave this game an unscored review, but said, in fact, using the game pad to play this game

is probably our least favorite part of the whole experience. Being forced to touch areas of the screen to move objects is cumbersome and the first person aiming levels that turn the game pad into the protagonist's viewpoint. Greg.

I mean, I don't know. So I'm just saying, Adventure Lane? What was that? Adventureland. It's not what they even called these. Adventure land is incorrect. You're talking about Nintendoland?

Yeah, that's one. Oh, that makes sense. The aiming levels that turn the game pad into the protagonist's viewpoint would be much better enjoyed with just a standard game pad. That's our last blurb. What was it? Don't just um it.

Intestants are thinking real hard. Andy. Street pass. Street pass is incorrect. Tim, you're a final guess here, Mr. Nintendo. Ah, man, fatal frame. Curse of the Black Maiden. That is incorrect. Man, you have that whole subtitle?

I'm not even sure I got it right. The correct answer here, I'm like looking at chat. I'm surprised chat. I don't think it has it either. The correct answer here is Captain Toad Treasure Tracker. Oh, okay. For the Wii U. That's so funny.

I was definitely like noodling that, but I don't remember. Let's read the first thing. Two charming characters. without dialogue? Yeah, without a single There's a judge review, without a single word of text,

the developer managed to create a pair of sweet, endearing characters that I genuinely wanted to root for. A pair of characters. Isn't this Captain Toad have like a counterpart?

Yeah, Captain Toad and, um... Captain Toadette? Captain Toadette? I'm pretty sure. Toad in his ball set. I knew that one get wrong. Just dragging along

that big old... Jesus. God damn. With that, nobody got points for that round. And for the record, the Wii U metacritic for Captain Toad. Eighty-one, in case anybody was wondering. Good for them. Round number four.

IGN gave this game a 7.8 out of 10 and says, the scope is stunning. The customization is satisfying. And the multiplayer touches upon some really, or the multiplayer touches upon some really ambitious ideas. But the lack of a strong main character or interesting take on the franchise's universe costs it momentum and excitement. I can say that one more time.

IGN gave it a 7.8 out of 10 and says the scope is stunning. The customization is satisfying and the multiplayer touches upon some really ambitious ideas but the lack of a strong main character or interesting take on the franchise's universe cost it momentum and excitement. Tim. I'm sorry that Assassin's Creed Brotherhood?

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is incorrect. I think I'd see a lot of Torre is not a I just I didn't know Brotherhood I thought maybe they didn't focus on them enough you know the fucking multiplayer kicked ass it's a good multiplayer

How many brothers does he have If nobody has a guess here Greg Mielo Reach Halo Reach is incorrect That's a good guess Yeah Greg's on fire today Um

Can't wait to see how I fuck it up You're gonna have some fucking 78 point question For me Andy Halo ODST That is is incorrect. We're going to move on to the next blurb. And before I do, Roger,

can you get the whiteboards ready? I forgot about that. If you can go seek out the whiteboards, thank you so much. Doesn't you have to run the buzzers, though? Oh, they're right there. Yeah, they're right there. Our next one is from Polygon,

who gave this game a 6.5 out of 10. And says, in the quest to build something that looked and sounded next generation, Ubisoft Montreal failed to fix the problems that have accumulated over so many annual releases. Watch Dogs Legion

Watch Dogs Legion is incorrect No Really? Wow Assassin's Creed Unity Assassin's Creed Unity is the correct answer

There you go 20 important points Arno Dorian fucking loser fucking dork protagonist Who is that? The protagonist is on a Doherty I'm on a Dorian Watch Dogs Legion was way too new for them to have like a point

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But still, it checks all the boxes. Now, of course, you got to add the second blurb there, which means 20 points. You can double that to 40 points if you can tell me the exact metacritic of Assassin's Creed Unity on Xbox 1. Xbox 1, 73. The correct answer.

72. Oh! So close. Yeah, so far. But, Andy, that's not the end. because that then leads us into our bonus round. Bonus. Metascore mayhem.

I'm gonna put five different, that's my favorite game. Five different games are gonna be put on the screen. I provided you each with whiteboards. Actually, Roger did. Thank you so much, Roger. I want you to organize these games from top to bottom based on what you think the metascore is.

For every correct spot, you'll get a whopping 20 points. I fucking hate this fucking show. The twist, if any of you get all five games correct, The game ends and we dish out scores as is. However, the top is the best bottom source. Correct. However, if no one gets all five correct,

I'll tell you each how many games you have in the right positions and give you each one chance to change your answers. I won't tell you which games you have in the right spots, just how many. You have 60 seconds to jot down your answers. Contestants, are you ready? Yes. Barrett, bring up the games. Greg, there's no way you can lose this.

Shut up. The games are... Fuck! A way out. Dragon's Dogma 2 LA Noir Dishonored Death of the Outsider

and Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Vera you're gonna have to keep me honest on time since we can't see the timer but I got you got a minute to jot that down again for those watching and listening the challenge here is to order these games

from highest metacritic to lowest metacritic somebody needs to get all of these correct for us to dish out scores if nobody gets these correct after this first round I'm going to tell them each how many games they have in the right spots and give them one more chance to correct their wrongs.

15. Yeah, 15 seconds left. It looks like Greg has answers done. It looks like Tim has answers done. It looks like, oh, Andy also has answers done. So we can cut that show. We don't even need the full 60 seconds. Look at these guys.

They're ballers. We're going to start off with Greg Miller. Okay, so best to worst. I have Dragon Ball Sparky Zero at the top. Dragon's Dogg him with two. a way out L.A. Noir Dishonored

Andy Dishonored at the top Dragon's Dogma 2 ZBZ A way out L.A. Noir. Tim Dragons Dogma 2

L.A. Noir A way out Dragon Ball Z dishonored. You each only have one game in the correct spot. So we're going to run it

you're going to get 60 more seconds to redo your answers for a final shot at redemption Barrett if you can put up the games one more time and roll the timer one more time again the games are a way out Dragon's Domit 2, L.A. Noir Dishonored Death of the Outsider and Dragon Ball

Sparking Zero. Each of our contestants here only had one game in the correct spot there. This is a scary one. Usually for this game there's at least somebody who has a lot of these games in the right spot so now the game ends up being that they all They had to guess. You had to take swings.

Nobody's safe this round. 30 seconds. It's all coming down to this. That makes sense to you and you'll confirm that I'm, I don't know if they're, I'm, I'm moving that one up there. I'm not cheating. Contents says you have 10 seconds,

but it looks like everybody has answers done. All right. There we go. We're going to start off from the opposite side of the table. Tim, what you got for me. So I'm going to keep Dragon's Dogma 2 at number one. one. Then Dragon Ball, then LA Noir, then dishonored, a way out at the bottom. All right. Andy, what you got for me?

Dragon Ball Z, Dragons Dogma 2, a way out. Get up on that, Mike. Oh, sorry. Dragon Ball Z at the top, Dragons Dogma 2, a way out, L.A. Noir, Dishonored. Greg? Dragon Ball, I'm sorry, no, no, no, no. Dragons Dogma 2 at the top. Dragon Ball Sparking Zero number two LA Noir, a way out, dishonored at the bottom. Can you say that one more time? I sure can.

Yeah. Dragon's Dogma 2 at the top. Sparking Zero in number two. L.A. Noir 3, a way out for dissonored at the very bottom. Barrett, if you can bring up the actual answers. The correct answers here, starting from the bottom, a way out has a 78. Above that is Dragon Ball Sparking Zero at an 81.

Above that, it's dishonored Death of the Outsider at an 82. Above that is Dragon's Dogma 2 at an 86. In the number one game here is L.A. Noir. It's a great game! At an 89 on MetaCritic. It was a different time. We were impressed by a lot of things. Oh, we're tapping the ledger over and over again.

That's great. Now, what that means is that Greg got zero correct for that round. Both Andy and Tim got one in the correct spot. So they each get 20 points. Greg doesn't get any more points. But, however, I don't believe that matters because Barrett, what's the final score? The final score? It was just not his week this week.

Maybe it's all the mind games being played with him with all the nice things that Greg, his best friend is giving him. It was Tim Geddes for Team Orange with only 70 points, not even getting into triple ditches. In second place, he fought hard this week. He is the most second place man this year. It is Andy Cortez for Team Purple with a hundred. hundred points and our winner this week.

He is Mr. Stars in the Bank. It is won Greg Miller with T. Blue with a hundred and twenty points. I think on this win, Jen might give me the triple digit tonight. You know what I mean? I don't. I'll bend over and she'll hit my prostate with triple digits in my asshole. It's been a long drought, but I'm back, baby. Your best smells good.

I mean he'd eat nass all day. Greg, you win the Star Trophy. Thank you. Don't touch the hand. I'm excited for that. Do I get a tip of the hat for the Broste Day joke? No, you're not. You're going to get a tip of something, apparently, but not of a hat.

Not of that. Of course, that then brings us to our star standings to catch up on our overall score for this season. Coming into this episode, Greg with Team Blue had two stars. He just earned his third star for the season. Can you ask a question? Team Purple sitting out. Can you, give me three of Tim's right now. I'm putting an asterix next to my six at Tim's three.

That's what's happening April 2nd Team Purple is sitting at one star And Team Orange is sitting at six stars Now remember Greg and D is still holding on to the stars Still a really fucking on that one Like she could not be Ben Star come on Dean If Greg

Steals Tim's star with S in a In a parenthesis because apparently got to figure shit out That still could mean Big changes for the season but you have to tune in, continue to tune in throughout the season and see how that develops. Contestants, thank you so much for joining me here on Game Showdown.

Remember, Greg has called a shot. Apparently he is redeeming this. Cashing in. He's cashing it in next week. April 2nd. The Nintendo Switch 2 direct, so you're going to want to tune in for that. Of course, this has been Game Showdown, your nerdy trivia show. It's funny, Wes, because I get to embarrassed him in front of our fans and, you know,

our employees all the time, but now we get to invite Cat Ballion. You know what I mean? She'll be here for the Nintendo. Switch 2 Reveal event. Probably a whole much new viewers too. And I get to see what a charlatan this man is. Fun update for you. I believe we don't have an episode next week or the week after.

If I'm thinking about this correctly. So be aware of that, of course, tune into the Nintendo Directs, apparently, for Game Showdowns and shenanigans. I mean, after I win the stars, we can just stop the show if you want. No more game showdown. I win. We need at least three more episodes.

I mean, listen, I got the rest of the season playing out in my I'm not going to tell you how many episodes there are, but stay tuned because there will be more. That's all you're going to get. We'll be back later with another episode. Until next time, it's been our pleasure to serve you.
