I was so excited thinking of it.
So next, next, I'm going to get Halo 3 and I'm going to get this other one.
Yeah, no.
I've got to take it.
I got to take it.
Yeah, Halo 3 is unbelievable.
Talk about it now and you do it justice.
Welcome back to another episode of the Flycast today.
The episode.
Who Gives a fuck?
The, uh, we got, we got two guests today.
Two guests.
The important guest.
Dahl Hex and Toosh
Dahl Toosh and Hex
Oh, Dahl Hex. I like that.
Dahl Toosh. Hex is Toosh.
What are we doing today, Hitch?
Tush. Let me.
Hex is, let me.
Tush.
Tush has been watching this Frat Guy podcast, and this is what they love to do.
They love to list, to have the best list.
And you're wondering why I have my hand on my hip.
I don't. I'm just ready to shoot.
Surprise.
Oh.
Brush you're not sitting there.
I kind of am.
Yeah, we're ripping off the Going Deep with Chad and JT podcast.
It's a fantastic pod.
They do drafts, and it's definitely the highlight of their podcast is when they do these.
They've drafted like appetizers, best states, best presidents, best presidents, best presidents.
Best presidents.
Who won that one?
We should just copy everything they do.
Yeah, so we're, they have not done this.
They've done like most dominant athletes and they're great.
So shout out to the Stokers and going deep with Chad and JT.
but we're doing best video games of all time
because we're a video game people.
We're on the gamer world.
We tried to pick.
We tried to get a diverse crew here.
So we pulled in hacks.
Yeah.
That's right.
It's several reasons.
Age, ethnicity, and looks.
Yeah.
We got white.
We got brown.
Pretty white.
Pretty boy white.
And then I guess I'm black now.
I didn't mean pretty boy white.
I was wondering if you were going to say that.
It's been recent news.
All right.
Let's try to do this odd and even stuff.
things. So yeah, everyone's
going to have five picks to build their
best list possible.
The best games of all time, the most
influential games of all time. You could
do personal favorites, but that might kind of
knock down the strength of your list.
And of course we're trying to win. It's going to get
competitive. Yeah.
Right. He's going to say Halo 2,
Halo 3. Halo 1, Halo 2. Yeah,
you can't. He can't say NBA Street 2.
Also a quick note. See, I was wondering, like,
this was so hard to put
actually let's talk about
well maybe not how we put together our list
because then we might leak but
it was so hard putting together this list
because like there's so many genres of games
that motherfuckers are gonna roast me for
not knowing
yeah like my gaming portfolio is shallow
we were talking about this beforehand
I was wondering
I thought I was a gamer
but then I was looking at some list and I was just like
Halo no I'm a fraud
halo my my repertoire is shooters
and I'm just like bro I don't
So hopefully someone comes with something a little different
that's not Call of Duty or Halo.
I think Hacks might, you know, bring in some thoroughbacks.
1980 was when I was born.
So you better believe that I'm coming correct.
Listen, by decade even.
It's not a, when we say best video game of all time.
That's not what we're saying.
We're trying to win.
We're trying to win.
Who has the best five best video games of all time?
We're tweeting this out.
We're tweeting this out from the optic account and saying which list is the best video
game of all.
The sum you could be like, well, this is literally a better game.
Of course it is.
But this did more.
It's all up to interpretation.
Okay.
It's all up to interpretation, baby.
Also, quick note, we can't say call of duty and then own all 30 call of duties.
You can't say Halo.
One specific call of duty.
You have to pick.
You have to pick.
You got to pick.
All right, come on.
Let's do the.
All right, let's try the thing.
We're going to do odds and evens to decide.
So you throw out a one or a two, and if you're alone, you get four.
You get fourth pick.
I think we just go until that happens.
Okay.
Think, ready?
Three, two, one, go.
All right.
I'm kidding me?
Fourth pick.
But you do get, so it's a snake draft.
Yeah, if you don't know what that is,
it goes pick one, two, three, four,
and then the fourth person gets two.
Yeah, it's not a bad spot.
Because whoever gets first,
I already know what game they're gonna pick.
No, I think you have a pretty good spot.
Two picks are right.
Strong.
Okay.
First and second?
You just won, I think third and second
is the bang zone.
All right.
All right.
We do it again.
Three, two, one, go.
Three, two, one, go.
Oh, you're third.
I like it.
And then we do one and done, rock paper scissors, shoot.
Yes, that's a normal way.
Rock paper, scissors, shoot.
Rock paper scissors shoot.
Damn.
I get first.
Yeah, you got first pick.
Wow, setting the tone.
Damn, I don't even want first.
My heart rates up.
You're hype on that.
That was crazy.
Oh, fuck, man.
I mean, I guess.
heavy.
All right, are we just, we're just starting.
I think we're just starting.
Yeah, but set the tone.
This is a big, big, big,
this is nervous.
And you have to pander,
you have to pander to basically the optic crowd.
That's the only people we're pantering to.
Listen, I'm pandering to myself.
You're there BTAH.
Yeah, you can pander if you want
or you can stay true to yourself.
That's the balance that you have to have to be true to yourself.
Yeah.
Put Pokemon Red.
So, all right, my first pick,
and I just have to do it,
I got to strategize here.
I know someone.
picking it somewhere down the line.
Oh.
It's, it's, it's, I'm already mad.
I know, I'm pissed too.
I'm going with Minecraft.
I know it.
I'm going with Minecraft.
That's such a good one.
Possibly the greatest.
I mean, these are all going to be great games.
I can't say if it's the greatest of all time, but I know someone's going to pick it.
I was, I'm expecting it to go first round, but yeah, I'm going Minecraft.
That was going first pick always.
Such a good game, such a story.
such a even even just i don't know if you would call it this story but just the concept the concept
of going through the game and beating the game and and then even at the end of the game the poem
i was shedding gamer tears we did you cried at the poem that's the whole extreme like it's that
poem is is an acid trip notch had to have tripped acid it's the greatest thing i've ever read
it's the greatest thing i've ever read really it just yeah it's just yeah
I'm not even trolling, I swear.
And you didn't choose that as your hands had to?
When I beat the game in on hardcore
and then actually read that whole thing afterwards,
I was like, it was actually like...
My Twitter bio was made from milk and love for like a year.
So Minecraft has a story, like a campaign?
Oh, no.
You haven't played Minecraft?
I've never played Minecraft once.
Do it, do it. Do it.
Shurpa him.
I do know the impact that it has and continues to have.
It's not even impact.
It's, it's...
Transporting you to the earliest.
parts of human beings.
You're living a life in a world that you would not otherwise be able to live or imagine.
It's so good.
I've never seen you sit up and be this past.
It's the best game that's ever been created.
It's the best game ever.
You're saying it's a strong pick.
No, no, no.
It is literally unilaterally.
If anyone of us got picked first pick that was going up there.
I don't know what it was.
I would have put it because I know the way that carries.
but I wouldn't have had the passion that you just injected.
All right, go ahead.
Say Apex, man.
Come on, it's your turn.
Yeah.
I actually had that on my list for like an honor.
We're going to be like honorable mentions at the end to just talk about gaming and that I was going to bring up Apex.
But it certainly is not going to fall on my top five.
I don't know where your games are going to go.
However, I will say in terms of movement and shooting Apex is unbelievable.
Very good.
In terms of gunplay and movement and all that.
Yeah.
When I played it those 13 times, I fucking.
had the best time ever.
I love that for you.
I love that for you.
All right, that's a strong pick.
Like, I want to take one really bad to kind of pander to crowd.
And I don't know, I don't know if I can wait.
I don't know if it's going to be there second round, but I don't know.
And that's the fun of it.
If it's the game you're thinking, it's definitely not going to be there.
It's definitely not.
Just say it.
I think I know a game you're thinking.
You think, you think?
If you don't know, pick something that isn't that one, and then I'll pick it next.
There's so bad.
I just whispered it into the mic.
Actually, no, no, no, I have to stick to my guns.
I have to stick to my guns.
I was trying to pander so hard.
All right, my first round pick is going to be Fortnite.
Ah, okay, I was wrong.
I was going to go with the game.
My game is still in.
Yeah, I mean, the impact that Fortnite has had on gaming, on the culture, on everything.
Yeah.
It's been unbelievable to see, and they continue to top themselves year after year.
brand deal after brand deal,
collab after collab,
it's unbelievable what they do.
And I know the game has kind of fallen off
for a lot of people who played
in the earlier stages like myself.
It's kind of wild to hop on Fortnite nowadays.
But it's unreal what they've done.
And the fact that it had that vice grip
on all of us early on,
the first two years of Fortnite was the best phase of gaming.
I think in my life personally,
there was nothing better than getting a victory royale.
nothing better than hopping in a golf cart with your boys and emoting on the back and sniping
off a fucking golf cart while hitting the gritty.
Are you kidding me?
And then when it first came out, the building was revolutionary.
Yeah.
The building was revolutionary.
I mean, it was sick when it came out.
The heart rate intensity when you were like top four sitting in a one by one tower with a sniper.
It was the last time that a BR existed where you couldn't respawn your friends.
So.
It'll never exist again.
Wow.
It'll never exist again because our minds are slowly being warped by TikTok where we can no longer function.
Yeah.
Without without stimulating ourselves.
But at the time, Battle Royale used to be actual Battle Royale where if you died, you died.
And the only way to come back was to the next game.
Yeah.
So the heart rate for every game was so much more intense.
It was awesome.
It was great.
And just the small updates back then to what they've done now with the in-game events and like the marshmallow.
Travis, like I haven't even kept up in a while.
Travis Scott was insane.
And there's been like, I don't know, 20 more.
They got like a Metallica thing.
Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Marvel.
You could go on for probably that many times.
And that's how many collapse they've done.
They're all nuts.
Really good games.
Fortnite has done what no game will ever do again.
Soundtrack means a lot to me in these lists.
I wish I would have got Minecraft and Fortnite.
That would have been nice, but it would have been impossible.
It would have been impossible.
Yeah.
That might be the top two.
That would have been like getting Jordan and Pippen, like the two best players.
You can't just do that.
Can't do that.
That would be unfair.
Those were my, obviously, my top two.
I tried telling him to come with a list because I know he's going to start ripping some trash.
the top of his head.
That's what I told him too.
I said,
you need a trash.
What the fuck are you talking about?
I literally,
I know those games, bro.
He's already out of ideas.
No, I'm not.
Ready?
Call of Duty 4.
Ah.
If it wasn't for Call of Duty 4,
the state of gaming,
as you know it today on YouTube
and just the world
wouldn't be where it's at.
Call of Duty 4 was the first time
that Call of Duty had the integration,
not integration,
but the Orcross platform,
but there were two separate entities.
Two separate gamers playing the same game at a high level,
both in Xbox 360 and the PC world with ProMod.
ProMod obviously being the adaptation of what fucking S&D, 16,
like the exact same thing that you play in CounterStrike,
which is what I was called ProMod.
Again, what it did for competitive Call of Duty
and what it did for YouTube gaming is all.
All of your favorite YouTubers.
I was about to say, did this?
The Call Duty 4 kind of start like YouTube gaming,
as in like people uploading
clips and gamesplays and
Modern Warfare 2
the first one was the one that just
fucking kicked it over the edge, yeah.
But I mean
I'll agree, I mean I kind of
if you were gonna pick any Call of Duty
I'm glad you picked that one. Really?
Call of Duty 4? Call of Duty 4 the name.
I need to see which one that is. I'll be quiet.
Even the name itself. You don't remember that one off the top?
Call Duty 4. I don't remember any
Call Duty like.
Right here. See this?
this is the m483
i almost got the the
uh that that one
that looks like nice prestige

I mean I don't know fuck all of d

look
Nick got Nick got his face tattoo
that's fucked
that's fucked up
now they're the Call the Duty 4
the the
it was actually called
in the developer play
in the developer studios
like before they had a name for it
it was called
the medal of honor killer
or maybe that
maybe that was the first call of duty
but regardless
I think I do actually remember this one
this was a good call duty
you came in with the heat
after you said cod for
you would start hitting us
with like facts about what's called
the fucking
came in with the facts
as they would say dude
dude
I can go play
cod for took call of duty
and it made it
and it made it the most
dominant war-based FPS shooter and it has been ever since.
Yeah.
Really.
Oh yeah.
There's never been,
it's never been top.
I skipped Cod four and then I went back to it like years later after.
It's still good.
After another Cod.
Remaster.
And I was like, wow, this.
Yeah,
I played when that came out.
I think I played it and I was like remastered.
I was like remaster just simply because of the cosmetics of it.
But the game itself didn't change.
I do, I do.
People are still playing pro mod.
Yeah.
Still,
yeah,
do shout out my man,
Climaxu,
Steve, nine lives, best montage.

No, you're not.
We'll see.
Those next two picks for you were going to be huge.

everywhere anything from the story just the storyline itself
the ability to play multiplayer online
shooting rocket launchers at buildings

GTA was something I was hoping for but
of course he got taken
of course dude for us my life sucks
I can't get an eighth fucking pick
I have a snake draft
Halo 2
I'm actually going to go with
I guess this fucking
I was in there like
I'm actually going to go with Eldon Ring here
Okay, I'll tell
I'm fine with losing that
I think that's a good pick
But I'm fine with losing it
I'm fine with that being taken
You guys think
You guys think that's a bad pick
No no I think it's a good pick
No you're okay with losing it
Well should love
That doesn't mean anything to me
I wouldn't pick it because I never played it
So
If I hadn't played it
I can't pick it
Oh you can I will
Like you're gonna
I'm gonna say some stuff
on this list and you're like you're like yeah all right so my two halo two it's not my choice
oh okay you're not even gonna let him talk about ellen ring dude just call him dad is the
is it's the best is it's the best open world game i've ever played in my life
i tell me why why should i play it because you smoke weed is why you should play that's the
that's the one that just came out yeah with the boss fights yeah everyone was playing it the game i did a
marathon and i didn't think i didn't think i didn't think i would like it because i didn't think like
You ain't no nerd.
I didn't think I would like,
no, I'm a nerd.
I didn't think I would like,
uh,
the non-story aspect of it.
Like,
where it's like,
you know,
I like playing either shooters or like story games.
And then this is like somewhere in the,
in the middle where like you go boss to boss to boss.
And I was like,
that sounds kind of boring like just torturing yourself every boss.
But then you fucking play it.
And dog,
it's,
there's like six different like you unlock the map.
And as you unlock the map,
it just gets more beautiful.
And like there's different places you can go and you can
travel and and you can upgrade and and you you look shit up and you're like oh how do I get this
sword and it's the best damn it's that makes me miss weed you know I am not wasting my
weed on that no I'm kidding I'm kidding I think that's a really strong pick I think it's
going to have a lot of weight with with the voters of the public I think it's a good one I good pick
and you have a strong list and I'm proud of you all right thank you it's my turn my turn for the
number two pick on this draft is going to be Super Mario Bros. 3.
That's a really good pick.
I know.
It's the first time of Mario flu.
They have a third.
I thought it was all one.
No, it's one, two, three.
Really good.
I was not expecting that for me.
I was going to do 64, but Super Mario Bros.
3 when he flew for the first time ever.
It's funny because, like, can we look up some pictures?
If you're a Call of Duty head, honestly, you're going to get more respect from gamer heads.
Why?
From like, from people that like game.
Hell of game.
Bro, I look.
I have, I have them still.
Yeah, people who game game are going to hate the Fortnite pick.
Exactly.
They're going to hate the Fortnite pick because of what it is now.
Right.
Look at that.
They will forget.
Bro, you don't understand what this did to me as a kid.
Like this, this.
Just looking at it, you understood that he flew.
And it's like, holy fuck, he's got raccoon tail.
Why?
Like, from where in his DNA did this fucking thing come from?
What I was thinking.
It's like, what year that I come out?
1992.
Play a video.
What did they say what year?
So the tail really did it for you, huh?
No, the flying.
This is like, oh, and then you turn into a frog in this one.
You turn into a statue.
There's so much different about this game compared to the first.
There is a movie.
I was eight years old.
There is a movie called The Wizard, which had the flutes, the secret flutes.
If you crouched down here, you fall behind the entire map.
Bam.
Now you're behind the end, and now you get something different.
How many times do you watch this?
The glitches.
Watch it or played it.
How many times you watched it?
You just calmed that immediately.
You said crowds and he did it.
The flute allows you to go to a world where everything is like gigantic.
So every turtle is like massive.
Every block is massive.
Everything is just huge.
You can turn into a frog making you swim fast.
It is my pick for the best.
Mario Brother installation ever.
I will say 2D, as far as like 2D games,
that was the best one I've ever played.
That Super Mario 3.
I didn't see any emotes or backbling.
Or, yeah, no dancing, no snoop dog.
Yeah, I'm sure that you can mod it nowadays.
Yeah, didn't see any of that.
So I don't really know how good that game was.
All I'm saying is like, from being a gamer head,
I think people are going to like appreciate cod for.
You don't even know what I have coming next.
Because like, because like some people would say.
I don't, actually.
I have no idea what could be coming next.
At least a more like general person would have said, of course,
Modern Warfare 2, and they also would have said Super Mario 64.
But you went like, yeah, you went OG with it.
I do like the game.
I never, I've never seen it.
I'm fired up for you though because you sounded happy, like referencing and talking about it.
Dude, I had a dream that I had a belt.
And I remember it was at the corner of my grandma's house.
Like in my dream, I ran so fast that I powered up and I jumped so high.
Like, I literally invaded my fucking brain.
All right, your turn.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
Fuck, yeah.
All right, well, I'm kind of shocked this fell.
I could see why it fell to me with all these strong games on the list.
However, like, this game is a lot of people's game that they reference and they love.
And it's just a timeless classic.
Pokemon.
I'll do it.
No, he's going to say it.
It had a grip on everyone, and it was so fucking good.
And it was my first game personally that I really sunk my teeth into,
and that's going to be Halo 3.
Fucking pieces.
That's going to be Halo 3.
Halo 3 tops Halo 2 for me, and this game was just perfect.
I was so excited thinking out.
So next I'm going to get Halo 3, and I'm going to get this other one.
Oh, no.
I've got to take it.
I got to take it.
Yeah, Halo 3 is unbelievable.
Talk about it now, and you do it fucking justice.
I'll let you chime in
I'll let you chime in once your anger subsides
Yeah it was just fucking incredible
I loved it I spent so much time on that game
As a 16 year old
How high did you get?
I wasn't high
What you're talking about weed?
What are you talking about?
That and also ranks
Ranked I think I remember specifically I was
53
No I went to 50 I believe in the rank
In the ranked playlist
And it had like lone wolves
Team Slayer MLG SWAT
I remember playing lone wolves a lot
Lone wolves is like an eight man free for all
And once you got past like 43 rank
You had to win outright
Like seven lone wolves in a row
Which was so fucking hard to do
Because it was very sweaty
And if you lose one you go back down a whole number
I remember being in tears in my living room
Because I was so frustrated
Because I could not fucking rank up
And I would win four in a row
And then I'd lose one and I'd go down a point
And I cried
That was the first time I like frustratingly cried
As a child
Like a 16 year old child
Which is you're not
kind of a young adult, so it was sad.
And I'll admit to that, that I cried about it.
Love, but it is.
Yeah, it is love. And it was such a good game.
The gunplay was perfect.
I mean, it was simple.
There was.
There was also theater mode.
Yeah, theater mode.
People who only made it to rank 50, that is as high as they could go.
That was a 53.
Yeah, the MLG playlist was perfect, too.
Anything else you would add?
The playlists were great.
The campaign was great.
An epic final mission with the Wart Hogg of flying.
and doing gun jumps.
Dang.
So, yeah, campaign was that big.
The playlist was great.
Honestly, a lot of the maps were amazing.
Competitively and non-competitively.
And then even just getting into big team battle, even the big maps were good.
Sandbox.
And I think, no, Halo 2 had banshees.
But, like, just.
Halo 3 had banshees as well.
Yeah.
But I was trying to think of HAL-3 started the banschees.
but banshees, ghosts,
swart hogs, tanks,
big team battle.
Custom games as well.
My, my goodness,
that people could create.
Duck hunt, fat kid.
From the forge fucking mode,
that was just insane for its time.
Yeah, my goodness.
Wasn't their file share?
Yeah, they were.
So you could share
fucking different shit you made
and clips.
Yeah.
People would make boobs out of guns on the ground
and it would get me excited.
I mean, that's a number one.
And it's crazy.
It came out in 2000, late 2007.
It was unbelievable.
That's just for, forge, theater, just everything, man.
I mean, I was hoping to grab that.
I was, I'm actually, you're hurt.
I'm a little hurt.
I mean, it was never going to fall all the way to pick eight, dude.
That's impossible.
I was definitely hoping for that.
I guess.
Damn.
I almost.
I don't have.
Halo 2 on my list.
But I thought I was going to first, I thought I was for sure getting Halo 3.
I was like, they're going to go for some other shit before they go for Halo 3.
One thing I will say for sure is we're going to go with World of Warcraft.
That's good.
World of Warcraft was probably the first game I was addicted to even before Halo.
I think it came out in like, Dweeb, nerd.
When did World of Warcraft come out?
In the year 2000 nerd.
I think I was in.
I think I was in
I think I was in
in 2013
I think I was in like ninth grade or something
in Virgin 99
completely new to whatever World of Warcraft
was I played like Warcraft 2
Warcraft 3 those were more like you like
built little guys in battled and stuff
but for World of Warcraft to come out
came out in 2004 you have your own
character you have your own little character
you level it up there's a huge world
practically an unlimited amount of world to go explore you're ranking your character up you're
you start falling in love and caring for your own character you you start meeting people you
you join guilds like it it brought a whole warcraft community and not only warcraft community
but it started a whole thing of people having guilds and whether you choose alliance or the
horde and that just turned into a whole fucking thing world of
work like warcraft two workraft three is cool but once world of warcraft started i mean we still
see 20 years later it's still massive and stood the test of time absolutely oh yeah i got you guys
yeah yeah dude i like how you have to think about that saying i'm about to stand up now uh i
can't stand up i don't know where to yeah where you go now i know exactly where the game it's oh my god
to me it's over.
Laura Croft.
I might have to.
I should have did
I should have did more research.
I should have did more research, but I was going
as I was going down the games,
I was like, man, this is all shit that we've probably
played and I've really thought I was going to get Halo 3.
Getting up.
I almost want to say Halo 2.
Oh, yes.
I'm going to go with.
That's what I would say.
That's what I'm going to say next.
I'm going to go with Pokemon Red.
I'm going to go with Pokemon Red.
There was such a huge, massive, girthy part of my job.
You have some fucking, you got a good roster.
I mean, I'll tell you what, nine people are going to be fired up on this list.
You've got a good, I don't know.
Pokemon, Red World of Warcraft, and Minecraft.
Is that not insane?
It is.
I don't, I didn't play Pokemon.
I'm just going to use it.
I wouldn't have chosen.
I wouldn't have chosen.
Sell me.
Sell me.
I don't know if I could sell you on Pokemon.
You were either about, you were either about that life or you were.
We didn't want to, we didn't try to sell.
It didn't need to be sold.
Yeah.
That's real.
That's actually fucking real.
You didn't.
You had to come out.
You had to play it.
You had to try to get into this world.
Was that Game Boy?
Game Boy.
Game Boy.
Game Boy.
Original game boy?
The original game boy?
The big boy?
Yeah.
But just just started.
1916 years old.
Yeah, I wish I did some research.
What was your guy's name?
Ash?
Who did you start out as?
I just discovered something.
I just discovered something.
His name was technically red.
But to just start.
start in this world and you don't know what's going to imagine not knowing what
Pokemon is you start and then you're like you're figuring out the game exploring that first
little town that you see you get to pick either one of these three Pokemon you have no
idea how crucial yeah this pick is about to be so you go for Charmander pick him first next
thing you know you're battling your rival almost instantly off rip
battle him throughout the whole storyline you're fighting different bosses you're falling in love with new
Pokemon catching new Pokemon.
You're trying to catch new Pokemon.
You didn't catch the fucking Pokemon.
Yes.
There's just a whole
whirlwind of emotions when it comes to
Pokemon Red. And I choose Pokemon Red
because it's the first one that set the tone
and none of the others are better. This was a perfect
game. Wow. Wow. There's a TikTok
challenge right now where
like parents are putting their kids in front of the
Pokemon's and it's such a like a
I've never. I've never
saying and it's over 20. I've never
played it. For people are age. For people
our age.
30 years old.
It was a crucial decision
that almost all of us made.
And it was a
when you're 10 years old,
it's an immediate point of conversation
that you can have with a peer.
Hey, I'm 10. You're 10?
Let's talk about Chipper Jones
in the Atlanta Braves. And also
who's your starter Pokemon?
Good poem. Boom. Wow.
I mean, we don't even have to get into the cards.
Like just the
what the, what the games
did to the cards. And just
Dude, 1996.
The cards, the games.
Too much of a package.
And then there's just...
You were born in 1996?
That's right.
Dude, I was a junior.
I had discovered something else
that I liked playing with way more.
Tits.
Tits. Tits.
Basketball.
Oh.
Tits are sick, dude.
Can we, can I put tits up there?
Yeah.
That's your next pick?
Guys, guys, please.
Oh, please.
Sorry. It's June.
All right.
Next pick.
You know, there's a lot of versatility
floating around these lists, and I do want to add to my list, like some different styles of games,
but since this has fallen all the way to me, I simply cannot ignore the fact that this has fallen
to me.
If I don't pick this, I'd be doing a disservice.
I mean, it's, I think it's widely recognizes a people's favorite game, one of people's
favorite games in general.
820K.
821.
I'd be remissed if I didn't say this.
This is going to be an absolute fan favorite.
It still falls in the FPS category.
I know I got kind of a trend going on here,
but it's going to be Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, the original.
And that is a...
Hitches out of picks.
It's undeniable.
It's an undeniable game.
It set the tone for all of us.
We all loved it.
No one has anything bad to say about that game ever.
It's fucking perfect.
It was unbelievable.
It was a huge part of my life.
It was a huge part of all of our lives.
It's one of the fucking best games of all time, bar none.
It is an incredible game.
I will, I agree, agree, agree.
I like to talk shit just for the memes, but you're right.
It's an excellent thing.
It is an incredible game.
Yeah, I, the thing is, it is my favorite game ever made, actually.
Right.
The thing is like the, no, I disagree, but the only, the thing that you did here is that
you make, you put him, I'm not going to pick no more call duty, you put him in a position
to say, I guess Black Ops 2.
Oh, I'm never, that was the only con.
Yeah, okay, okay, me too.
I got the halo and Cobb.
You got the only, you got the only halo I would have chosen.
and the only cot I would have chosen.
The two slot is hot right now.
You picked Fortnite, obviously, the number two pick in anybody's list.
Don't put original.
Don't put original, James.
No, no, no, no, don't put original.
Because that other Modern Warfare 2 was just...
It's not.
I said the original, and that's what it is.
It was basically a bursted hemorrhoed.
Everybody knows which one it is.
That's true.
That's true.
And if anybody says, which Mono Warfare 2?
Kick them in the face.
They're not one of us.
All right.
for my number three we don't want to talk more about that game a little bit yeah let's do it
like the camos the can i mean the camos it didn't what it i was so mad that they fucked up the
dagle that was like one of my main yeah the dagle was kind of fucked up but but it's the the gun the
strictly how the perks and the guns were balanced simple is perfect obviously you've got the
you've got the sour taste in people's mouths because of the one-man army noob tubes but when it
comes to what's the best a r what's the best the the submachine guns could could could could compete with
the assault rifles and the assault rifles could compete with the submachine guns and if you the
i'm the best you and play p player here so like of course i know exactly what it's like to use the
un p and p constantly you put a silencer on that thing you could put fm j on that thing yeah were you
lightweight fmj or were you were you silencer i was lightweight i was stopping power fm j that's yes
I wanted it done.
Yeah.
You had steady aim on.
I mean, in the perk one slot, you had to choose between marathon and slide of hand,
which is a perfect OBJ player.
And you could feel the difference, too.
Yeah.
And then in the second slot, you chose between lightweight and stopping power.
It's so important.
It's such the core of what Calladouy should be.
Yeah, it was great.
It was great.
Trickshot.
I think that's the game that kind of took trick-shoting to the next level.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, yeah.
Is that why we're all here in a way, in a sense?
Not trick-shodding, no.
You don't think so?
We're here.
But why face is there, yeah.
Yeah, it's what face is there.
Hey, iron sharpens iron or whatever they say.
Yeah.
That's true, yeah.
Yeah, game battles were great on that, too.
They're kind of the bloods to our crips.
On God.
On God.
Wins, not spins.
You know what I'm saying?
100%, dog.
So, look, what I liked about Model War II the most, obviously, was the nuke.
Obviously, the first introduction of the nuke.
Have you ever got a nuke?
Gas it up.
Gas it up.
Has hecks ever got a new?
Listen,
Modern Warfare 2 was, it changed everything for everyone.
Like it literally took it.
It's like a step up.
It's vanicking.
I'm so scared.
Maybe not necessarily from a gaming standpoint, but like from everything standpoint.
Like it changed the way that people created content, the amount of content that was created
just off of this one single game.
People were boosted.
I discovered you off that game.
Yeah. I discovered that's fun top five kill cams of the week baby. I discovered you off that game and now I'm on a goddamn couch next to you talking about that game
Machinima damn what cinema was paying five dollars CPMs guaranteed year round for that series for top five kill cams
And it was good and I loved watching it
Nasty Stevie was on optic for 52 hours who was Stevie that shit's fine even been hearing yeah he was on optic for like
I remember I remember texting Blake at high school like yo Stevie just joined Optic
he was like what the fuck yeah yeah he was on a loner from a fanatic
All right follow that up there's not easy I can follow this up super easy ready yep
Counterstrike yeah wow which one which one 1.6 2 which one global offensive counter strike 2
Gis go yeah it's strong pick damn I completely forgot about that that's a good pick that is a good pick that is a good pick
Thank you. I didn't want to do another shooter, but I figured that we're going to, yeah.
It is what it is. I know what my next one is, though.
Hey, fellas, if we think there's a lot of juice left on this list after five, we can go six or seven.
Six or seven. We don't want to have like a fucking, I'm hoping to get to five.
No, you want to get to that weird part where people are like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
That might happen with my. We'll see how these years. We're cruising on this list.
This is basically. We're already halfway done.
Every game.
All right.
Should we talk about Counter Strike?
Let's talk about Counter Strike.
Obviously.
The mother of all competitive FPS in my opinion, the fact that it's an S&D game only, it's the fact that it's been around since 2001, 2002, the fact that it's still a global e-sport, one that is celebrated and revered as one of the best, the amount of legends that have come out of there, the amount of the amount of super orgs that have won championships.
in it specifically and especially
season two
of E-League.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean this game came out in what
2001?
It's probably somewhere around there.
Shout out my man.
Shout up my man Mixwell.
Shout up my man Rush.
Shout up my man Stanislaw.
Knaff.
Tariq who represented the green wall.
Shazam.
So well.
Yeah, Shazam too.
But we're talking about the ones
that one of the championship.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
We're talking about the church.
If that case,
and fucking dapps.
Yeah
The OGs are the OGs for me
Yeah I mean there's really nothing else to say
You could just say those four letters
And everybody knows what the fuck you are about
Yeah CounterStrike kept it simple
Everyone you completely understood out of play
And even if you didn't play
You understood what you were watching
Also Counterstrike invented NFTs
Yes
In sort of
And gambling I know what you mean
Yeah you're hot on the cases right now too
You love it
What are you talking about?
Take cases.
Does somebody say kids?
Yeah.
I bought the steam deck to open cases up.
Did you know that?
No.
Yeah.
Just to rip a case?
Just to rip cases because I saw Ninja and Tim doing it at Natechud's wedding and I'm like, I'm a gambler.
I want to play.
Holy shit.
Well, they do.
Just hit a button and it buys the case.
Oh, good.
Well, you got to get a key.
Dumping money.
It's awesome.
It is, I mean, it's a, it's a investment.
It's a great game.
Right.
It's so much better than Valerite.
Holy shit.
Oh much.
Really is.
Good pick.
Thank you.
Big swing here, big two picks back.
Oh, wow.
You can't say Valor.
Check that book again.
He might be out of options.
I don't want to put pressure on you, but this is going to kind of define.
I literally have so ready to fire up my next one and my next one.
And he's got two.
I have two.
Yeah.
I'm going to go with another story game.
I'm third story.
I don't even done one multiplayer game, really.
I'm in GTA 5.
I'm going to go with Skyrim.
Oh, damn.
Yes.
I am going to go with Skyrim.
I hope the nerve.
I was hoping that was falling to me.
That was going to be like my fifth rounder.
For me.
Skyrim.
I don't even know what's fucking,
I don't even know which one that is.
It is still being played to this day.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's entire community still playing this game.
Can I see you Skyrim?
Yeah, just watch the intro.
I used to, yeah.
I'm confusing Skyrim with the Witcher.
It's all the same.
It was so tight.
You've never played any of them.
Those are nerd games.
You can't say it's all the same.
Every Hale is the same.
How does that feel?
Every football game is the same.
How does that feel?
We're good.
We're good.
I know what it is.
No, I'm fine.
Keep going.
Every hand tat, all the sames.
Not all the same.
They're not all the same.
Some are much worse than others.
It's like you went up to a freshly painted tile wall and you just punched it.
And all those tile.
Oh, I thought we were talking about Skyrim.
Super Mario sucks.
Guyram is a story.
It's basically, I mean, it's basically GTA where, but in medieval times and, and, and.
Dude, he's being mean, bro.
Don't let him get to you, bro.
It's a good pick, bro.
It's a good pick.
It's the best pick.
Pick me, pick me.
It's the best pick.
Fucking Pokemon Reds and I'm in the best Pokemon.
Eat my shorts.
Yes, it is.
Fuck them shorts.
I used to smoke in high school and I would walk.
watch my boys play. That's how cool
that game was. Dyrum? I would watch them
play. You're ripping darts or weed?
Weed. Oh, Christ.
Christ, man. Thank you. Thank you.
Come on. Making sure that you weren't poisoning your lungs.
No, no.
Fuck, bro.
I'm not mad. I have heard of the Skyrim lore. I get it.
I just, I haven't...
It's just not for you, man.
Yeah, no, I was just like sports, girls, drugs.
Like, that's where I...
Like, if this is where you were at...
World of Warcraft.
Anyway, your pick
You say you smoke sports
Smoke sports drugs
That was you said?
Yeah, smoke sports drugs girls
dudes
NBA 2K
NBA 2K
When you say sports like JV basketballs
That was it right? That was sports
Yeah
On the bench too
But he was going to practice
I had my back
He had bad grades too
I tweet my back
All right
Here we go
Here we are
Don't do it
Fuck I have to go another story game
Oh
You guys are gonna steal mine
Don't do it
Don't take my fable
I am going to go with
Not fall out
Not fall out
Please
Don't pick among us
Don't think among us
Don't think I'm walking.
What's the, what's the P-N-1 where they run and they...
Fight guys.
No fight guys.
Fall guys.
I almost put fall guys on like a lower...
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Sorry.
I'm going to go with the legend of Zelda.
Fuck!
Ocarina of time.
Yeah, I've heard about that game.
That is what I'm going to go with.
That is a great game.
When you said Skyrim was like, yes.
Dude, I forgot that you had another pick.
The gamers, gamers are going to love your list.
My list is like gamer kids.
You got...
Yeah, like you
Your list is a pimple
I did miss
I wish I had Halo 3
I wish I had Mono 4 2
I would have put
Counterstrike probably next
But I'm very happy with my list
I think those are
I think that if you would have given me
The Okerrine of Time I would have fucking smoked
The whole thing
Yeah, Ocreen of T yeah
Yeah
So why is that game good
It is it is so on the N64
Can you pull it up?
Let me tell you why.
Yeah, he bought it.
He stood in line to buy it.
I don't have that.
You haven't even beaten it?
Nope.
He hasn't beaten any game.
I beat, I beat, Call of Duty multiplayer.
I beat in e-sports as a whole.
Damn.
No, he said that was horrible.
My God, getting the horse, too.
Oh, my God, dude.
He's inside of the great deque tree right now.
He's about to run into the first sculpture.
I mean, the music.
Yes, the shooting.
Did you ever buy the ocarina or whatever it was to play it?
Yeah.
You can go first person.
It is a...
There was a little game that was made for the N64 called Super Mario 64.
And it was probably one of the most...
Uh...
Who?
Breakthrough games ever because of just how advanced gaming had gotten.
And this game came out and it was just better.
I do remember the Duff Step remix of that that came out.
I think we played that at race.
Yeah.
I'm really mad at that one.
That's like I'm so fucking angry at that pick.
That game is.
Yeah, I just can't get behind that.
I haven't been it either.
We're done with the 90s over here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I am kind of stuck in.
Actually, not, I don't know.
That was the 90s game for me.
Yeah, you got to hurry up.
I think we should go.
How many picks are we doing?
I think we should go to seven.
Seven?
I think we should go to seven.
I think seven.
I don't know if I can last to seven.
No, let's go seven.
Let's just go seven.
Let's just do five.
Let's commit.
Let's commit.
Let's just do five.
Let's throw honorable.
That's what I'm saying.
Maybe throw honorable mentioners.
No, let's let's make the, let's go to seven.
Let's just go till I'm out.
That's seven.
Okay.
Let's do seven, fine.
Well, we'll hope.
I'm telling you that the content's going to be better because seventh round we're going to be like.
Oh, dude, I got sleepies over here.
Do you?
I got absolute sleepies.
Okay.
Games that you're going to be like, oh my God, that was good.
She's really smart.
You're gonna say that.
He looked at a BuzzFeed list before this.
No, I was hitting that.
Dude, I texted like six group chats.
Oh.
I was outsourcing knowledge.
And I'm still cooking you?
Out of all the...
I mean, dude, mine on paper,
that's gonna just get votes off the rip.
Like, I'm demolishing.
Sorry, go ahead, Hex.
Mine are you can't live without.
You really fucked me with that one.
You do have a good list.
And I'm not gonna pick,
because I'm not gonna pick another like 64,
game.
Actually, I haven't picked a 64 game.
So I could say golden eye.
I'm not going to.
But I text you all the car.
What I text you all in the car?
You did, you did, uh, Zelda was the, the one that I would have picked there.
All right.
I guess I am going to have to go with one of my favorites, resident evil one.
Okay.
Okay.
I still remember playing.
How yeah.
That's like, that.
that pick.
I still remember.
I still remember playing Moonlight Sonata
trying to get the appropriate
items from the apothecary
place.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, man.
That's what I'm fucking talking about.
That's a good pick.
I definitely played that a lot.
I played that game a lot.
Now what am I going to do?
Dude, that's the...
We're going to see.
I did like kind of snipe
Occurating of time.
So you did have to pivot.
All right, I'm backspacing all the things that have been taken on my list, and it is thinning out.
It's thinning out a bit.
Look at mine.
That is nothing left.
Okay, here's it.
Now, I am going to get fraudulent with this one.
It's a game I've never played.
Okay, you shouldn't be able to pick it.
Yeah.
That's not how it works, pal.
It's not how it works.
This is a game I never played.
I am a fraud.
However, I've seen a lot of it on social media.
I've seen a lot of people's stances on it, what they say about it, how much it meant to them, how good it.
was I've seen a lot of content involved with it I know the story was
spit it out one of the best stories people have said that they've ever seen and
the game is gonna be Red Dead Red Dead Redemption too I knew oh fuck yeah I'm cool with
that hey I do I do get a race pick man fuck what am I gonna do okay you do you do you
did you did you did hit an angle that you hadn't already exactly you're covering
exactly see I had I had to hit I had I couldn't go FPS I see what you're doing
and I had another pick lined up but it also would have been fraudulent
and I'm not as fired up on it.
I think Red Dev Retemption 2 is going to pander a little bit more
towards the recency bias of the audience, perhaps.
Okay.
Yeah, I think that's a very solid pick.
I think it's, is it not like Renowned is kind of one of the best story
about games of all time?
It is.
Some people's favorite game ever.
There's a bunch of people's favorite game ever.
Yeah, Hodge.
Yeah.
Can't trust him.
And about 15 seconds ago, you were saying, you good pick.
All right, Nick, I can't wait to hear what your next two picks are going to be.
All right, so one of these picks, this first pick, didn't play it a lot.
Oh, my God, fake ass, man.
Didn't play it a lot.
But I feel like it is one of the best games, competitive games, to ever stand the test of time.
Quick, dude.
I'm going to go with Super Smash Bros.
That's good.
That's a good pick.
Which one?
Which one?
Which one?
I had that too.
Mele.
Mele.
Mele.
What about Ultimate?
Are you fucking kidding me?
Super Smash Brothers melee.
It's just an iconic game.
I do feel a little fake.
No, you should.
I felt like...
Name three characters.
You know what crazy is that I did play?
Zelda.
Donkey Kong, Luigi.
Okay.
Good.
Good job.
Name three stages.
Can't do that.
So I do feel a little fake.
Oh, just a little.
But is it what we've played?
or is it just the best of all time?
It's the best of all time.
I had to do Super Smash, of course.
I thought, I'm glad I thought of it last minute
because I didn't think of it last night.
May I speak?
I think looking at Hitch's having one last spot,
I was wondering if it was going to go there, was it?
Yeah, of course.
I literally didn't pick it.
I got to get this while I can.
May I speak?
Yes.
But if anyone would like to talk about Super Smash
and how great it was,
The floor is yours.
It is the most perfect couch competitive game ever made.
There's not even a close second.
There's not even, because, like, FIFA?
No, not even close.
Not even close.
No sports games.
Street fighter?
No sports games.
No fighting games.
Mortal combat?
No.
It is the best.
You take a goofy game that was supposed to be just this casual like, hey, let's
beat each other up with this hammer.
But then, but then.
They accidentally coded the most perfect game and the most technical game.
The way that people are playing it nowadays, still 22 years later.
Damn.
Telling your shit right now.
Speak.
It is the best game.
It has got the best community.
They have basically rebuilt a game from scratch and you can play it online.
You can play a GameCube game.
I was working at Dover Mule Mortgage when they came out.
It is the game that everyone played as a kid.
The items are awesome.
The stages are awesome.
You played it as a kid with juice boxes and you could play it as adult with beers.
It's the best.
It's the best game.
Hell of a pick.
You fucking fraud.
What's next, Maniac?
I think to top off my list, I could not make this list without, of course, a Halo.
I'm going to go Halo 2.
Now, my personal favorite.
My personal favorite.
is Halo 2.
Halo 3, I think, has it
slightly beat just because
just off theater, forge,
and some of the, like, fun games you could do.
But as far as just gameplay itself,
campaign, of course, great.
This started off,
this was like before people
were really getting on Xbox Live.
I would go to my friend's house
and we would system link.
And not just one TV, one TV,
we would do one TV, one TV,
we're playing 2 v2 v3 3 v 3 v 3 the whole neighborhood would go over to his house that's where the that's
where my addiction pure addiction to video games and especially halo started i mean the book
the the books that i didn't read apparently they were great too but i mean everything from
the ranking system was perfect i think only one or two people ever hit like max rank
ranked, ranked hardcore, rumble hardcore, team slayer, big team battle.
What was it called?
Double team?
Just 2V2 playlist, 4V4, big team battle.
All the maps were amazing.
You could do everything from run around in custom games,
super jumping out of the map, to fucking...
This was, Halo 2 was the first...
I feel like Halo 2 was the first game where people signed on Xbox Live.
for the first time and had an experience.
Like what other
game could you think of that people signed on?
They were like, oh, this is...
I'm playing on the internet
against other people on the Xbox.
You're playing Halo 2,
this set the tone
for the rest of human history.
Think about that one.
Halo 2.
Chew on that, pussy.
Halo 2 is my fifth pick.
And that's a god tier top 5.
It is pretty good,
except for the fact that you didn't play
most of them.
Now you just have to think of it too more.
I think of two more.
See, these next ones might be a little troll.
I don't know how to like,
I know what I want, but I was just doing a lot of searching,
and I don't know what game is what, really, necessarily.
I don't know what game is what?
Yeah, that's how, that's how those are we getting?
There's a lot more games of this game than I thought there were games, you know?
So what I'm going to put, I'm going to let y'all kind of refine my pick
because personally I don't know, and I'm being vulnerable,
so don't take advantage of me.
Oh, we're going to.
Yeah.
So this is a game that is similar to a couch game that you like the competitive aspect of it.
Ouch out you're on my hair?
It's something that you just sit down.
It's kind of a party-style game.
It's real fun.
You could have a couple Bev's during it.
You could play it with your girl.
You can play it with your fam.
You can play it with your father.
Pick the right one.
I don't know it.
I don't know it.
I'm going to say Mario Kart.
I'm going to say Mario Kart.
Cart, an unbelievably fun game, I don't really know which one.
Give me the best one.
Double dash.
You gotta give me the best one because I don't know.
64.
Yeah.
Is that a part of the game?
Yeah, double dash.
It was going to say Mario Kart.
Apparently there's like 17 of these things.
There's a lot of them.
Yeah.
A lot of them.
I didn't know that.
I thought there was one.
I mean, there is only one.
I thought there was one.
Mario Car 64.
The only one of ever.
Yeah, I mean, not much really needs to be said.
I beat all the ghosts.
Not much needs to be said.
That game is awesome.
It's fun to play.
It's fun to watch.
people play as well, which is a underrated aspect of that game.
Did you ever play Biro Kart before you retired?
No.
No, but I heard about it.
I heard about it, man.
I should laugh, James.
Beer, and that's my pick.
And that's my frickin pick.
Not a bad pick.
Not a bad pick.
This was definitely an absolute classic.
In a game, I was, I wouldn't say addicted to, but I played a fuck ton of this game.
You see how my list is starting to really come together from different sides?
Yeah, you're definitely getting what you wanted.
Yeah.
You're definitely getting what you're going to come together
I got some cherries and sprinkles coming on top
Do you?
Yeah, I don't give a shit about my topics
The heavy hitters with the pressure
Now I'm free flowing
Now I'm free flowing
Okay, now you can do whatever you want
Yeah, Apex Legends
Nope, Titanfall
I get you
NCAA
Are we ready for me?
It's on you
All right
Dog, what the fuck
Midnight run
How yeah
I thought that was a book
You know what?
Can capture the flag on this game
With Your Friends was the best
Fucking shit ever
It's all I got
That's a movie
There's a game
I was wanting someone to do
Some kind of race game
Midnight run wouldn't have been my choice
Yeah you would have done something
Like a neat or speed or Grand Turismo
Some hypey shit
Wait midnight club or midnight run
But were you able to
Midnight Club was good
I did have Midnight Club on mine
The Dub Edition though
I think that was the third one
That shit was
That was a great PS2 game
No midnight club was cool
It was sick
Yeah it was a great racing game
I loved racing games growing up
Need for speed
I had the other racing game on here
The one
Yeah
That one was good
I played that
That was fucking amazing
You were playing burnout
Yeah
Burnout revenge
I don't know if I played that
Good God
What a video game
I rented it from Blockbuster
What a game
I don't think it's following on the list.
I mean, at least we got a racing game on here, man.
I'm not mad.
I'm proud of you for that, man.
The last one was Mario.
You took one on the chin.
I mean like a car.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, right, right.
You can switch how the car looks, the rims, the tires.
Playing CTF is very fun in parentheses.
Thank you, James.
Playing ZTF very fun.
If it's one of the best games of all time, do you need a context?
Just like CTF was like.
The thing is, I think, I think like we veered off of, it's like, is it, is it, is it your choice for the best video games?
Or you're just speaking like in generalities.
That's the, that's the debate.
That's the debate.
That's the internal debate.
No, I don't have no internal debate.
If I didn't play it, I'm not picking it.
You picked, you picked my game.
Pitch has never touched GTA 5.
Yes, I have.
We've played it together.
One hour.
That means he's touched it, dude.
That means I've touched it.
I've touched it.
I've touched it.
I bet it, I bet not.
I would never pick Elder Ring Skyrim because I've never played him.
the same way that I didn't pick Red Dead Redemption
or World of Warcraft,
which was an obvious one to pick.
You're standing on moral.
You're standing on.
I bet you he's going to pick Rootscape
and he's never fucking played it.
Fuck you.
I have that.
That's actually what I'm going to pick.
Literally exactly what I'm going to pick.
It's right here.
I have it written down.
Let me see.
Let me see.
Does he have it written down?
Yeah.
Because I would not have thought about that.
But the ink is still fresh.
All right, am I going?
Yeah, go Roonscape.
I'm going to pick Roonscape.
Why?
Because.
Tell us.
It's better than Warcraft.
That's why.
What's about?
Tell us about Rootscape.
Yeah.
I've never played.
Tell me more.
Tell me more.
Tell us about your manna.
Pussies.
Rootscape is a massive
online player that you played on the browser
whenever gaming was first being invented
and you could talk to strangers
and your parents would get very worried about you.
But also,
you could kill cows and wait and and and uh rank up that's what it's all about and you can also
you got drip and there's also broomscape i think longevity of games is very important and there
are people still unless we're talking lebron then it doesn't matter yeah i guess then it doesn't matter
yeah who made this thing that rings mattered true even though i did switch to go to super team
so that i can win a ring but i didn't super team did bron team with pippin um
yeah
Runecape
Runecape
Runecape
I think I needed
I needed a multiplayer game on here
I needed one
because I think I'm going
Too nerd
I think I'm going
elsewhere after this
I think I'm going
I think I'm going right back
to story game after this
So
yeah I'm gonna stick with RuneScape
I think the longevity of it
is the most important
And my next pick
But wait
I think we should
When we tweet out
And ask people to vote
it should be cut off here.
Yeah, no names.
What?
And also no names.
No, guys, these are our top seven list.
Like, can you fucking learn to abide by the masses?
There's no, well, we don't have to say.
When people see top five, they look.
If you hear a top seven list, you're like, I don't give a fuck about that weird shit.
But all we're going to say is which list is better.
There's no top.
And we're not going to put names.
That's why we end here, which top five, which top five of, which guy's out of juice.
Yeah, because my shit.
Guys, out of juice.
I'm out of juice.
I prepared for what, what's the fucking video?
I get the last one.
You should have fingered better.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
You should have fingered better.
Wait, how does this work?
One, two, three, five.
We go all right back to you.
Screenshot this.
All right, come on, man.
Dude, no, you have to tweet them all out.
You just want that because you
don't have some.
You've got a big anchor coming.
I'm better top five.
You're better top seven.
Even though still probably clutch.
Yeah, let's see it then.
Oh, yeah.
All right, go next then.
Oh, shit, my bad.
The next, I'm going to go with the last of us.
Boo!
The Last of Us, best story game
in the modern era.
Not in the modern era, but I guess the era before that.
I know you played it.
What did you think of it?
I thought it was a really great game.
It really kept my attention
throughout the story mode and that final boss
was a hard battle
I didn't play it I have no intel
I didn't play much
The game's so good they made a
They made a movie on it
Or a series
See I'm not gonna be a hype piece and say
Fun Out
That's not high
I don't play that real shit
Say that real shit man
I'm a boss who are you ready
Ready let's see it
Mega man
Oh man I knew this list is gonna start falling
We're gonna tweet this out and be like
Which one's hacks
Yeah, dude
Yeah, it's bad
What's your favorite list?
Bonus point if you guess which one is X's
It's
I mean
Mega Man was cool
Definitely a classic
I was thinking about throwing up
Like Pac-Man or something
Let me guess
You were going to say Sonic
Oh, dude, don't even start
Go retro
You think I don't have a retro
You think I don't have a
Like a hardcore
First Game ever pick
Coming in my last slot?
What's that?
Pink Pong?
Stop.
Stop.
Pong?
Stop it.
Don't give anyone ideas.
What?
Asteroids, Pong, Mrs. Kangaroo,
You think I'm not going to go retro at one point?
I'm going retro.
I know what you're going to say.
That sucks.
Snake might be.
Stop.
I already have it.
Don't.
Which one are you doing?
I'm not saying it.
Tush's turn.
I don't know what.
Oh, actually, yeah.
Well, no, I had a few.
I had three.
All right, well, it's your go anyways.
Is it?
Is it?
Okay.
There's still shooters out there that I want to put on.
I think I'm too shooter heavy so I'm a little nervous right now I have five story games
I might have fucked up bro five story games that's pretty good could we trade how am I gonna
we can trade how many I have three shooters in fantasy football we should be able to trade here
I'll give you resident evil for I might have two bangers I'm in a tough spot dude I'm in a tough
spot I don't know where to go although I'm telling you resident evil is the first scariest
a scary game that I played that it really got my heart bumping.
I mean, I appreciate that.
I'm nervous right now.
I might, I don't think I'm, I'm losing my touch here because I don't know what direction
to go.
I don't know what direction to go at all.
Fucking hell.
I think you should go like modern shooter.
You think so?
Yeah, I think that's probably the route you should go.
Yeah, there are some that I want to put, but I'm not going to go.
I'm going to pander again.
to just the numbers,
the numbers of what's still relevant right now
competitively.
I'm gonna go with League of Legends.
I'm gonna go with League of Legends.
I think that was gonna be.
And that is a really,
I think it's a very heavy pick for this late.
I think getting that this late,
even though hey fellas, I've never touched it.
I've never watched it.
I don't understand it at all.
I don't even fucking get to pick this.
And I will never.
fucking play it.
But I know for a fact that that that game still gets played.
So it's a massive compsie.
I literally consumes people's lives.
The fact that nobody said that,
I thought that we were all under the understanding of this is we never,
we didn't play it,
we weren't going to pick it.
No, I'll fucking pander.
I'll pander, I'll lie, I'll cheat, I'll steal.
I just cross it off.
I just crossed it off.
League of Legends, falling this deep after a Mario Kart 64 pick is unbelievable.
I think that strengthens my list in a lot of different ways and I'm fired up on my pick
and I'm loving what I see.
out of myself today.
I'm so mad.
I thought for sure,
I did not think it all.
You were going to pick that.
This was for sure
going to be one of my picks.
I'm going to be a complete loose.
Dota.
I'm going to pick horse stone.
I like heartstone.
What time I took out of all day and played it all night.
Magic to gather.
You're going to be even more mad at this.
Hostile environment.
I'm going to take Tush's strategy and pick a game.
I didn't really actually I have played the game I'm just not a come so I'm not a complete fake fucking loser
But uh I'm gonna go final fantasy seven
Dude say ha ha ha say
Winner in the winner did did you just he did he did
That's crazy that's cheating that's crazy I'm not I'm just googling
Oh yeah
I don't have I don't
have enough games in my fucking dome.
I'm not cheating.
I'm just filming their practice, dude.
Like, fucking settled down.
Settled down.
Dude, I thought we were under the
if I would have wrote it down
or if I...
All right, what is it?
What is it?
What's your favorite part about it?
What's your favorite part?
What's your favorite?
Wait, wait.
How about this?
Why do you like Final Fantasy 7
better than Final Fantasy 3?
Great idea.
Great idea.
Because I played it and I didn't play the other ones.
His name is...
Mm-hmm.
Luigi.
Robert Paulson.
I was going to say that.
I don't remember the main character's name.
But I just know it was an epic.
It was an epic game.
It was a super dope.
People still talk about it to this day.
Ninja will go back and stream it on stream.
And it's just an epic series.
Epic game.
This motherfucker motherfucker.
It's just fucking amazing.
The development team like really spent their hard-earned time on and off the court.
Yeah, name one character from leave.
League of Legends.
Uh, jungler.
That's a position.
That's a position.
Double lift.
Uh, double left.
That's a player.
The odd one.
Fiddle sticks.
Tyler.
Corrected.
Tyler.
See, now I don't, I might, this is where I lose.
This is where I fucking lose.
I was an open book with the things I haven't played.
I told you what I did play.
I told you my straps.
God, I wanted that, I wanted Final Fantasy 7 and League of Legends.
Assassin Creek.
to end my list
Oh god
I don't even know what to pick now
I really
Van Helsing
I kind of want to
I don't want to scroll a little bit
Dude you're still cheating
I'm looking at my list
Just like
You didn't have to scroll
He didn't have a list
He didn't have to scroll
It was all the screenshot
He said he had 10 picks we want
You know what I'm gonna pick
You know what I'm gonna pick
I'm going to go with
The Sims
Hell yeah
Yeah dude that's fire
That's so good
That is fire
What's your one bro you're on fire with all your choices
Ticoon in the seven slot
Yo all of the choices
You've been making lately are so good
No
He started typing it
You spelled it wrong too
The Sims was the start
Of creating your own
Fantasy world in which
You would live in like a
Real Life simulation
It started a whole
brain wave
change of what
what's actually happening
on planet Earth
dude that's why I walk around every day
this game started
this game was a philosophy
philosophical
absolute philosophical
philosophical
philosophical
I like it better
this was a philosophical
it was a philosophical
it seems where you make like roller coasters
Sims you build houses
you have neighbors
you get to you feed yourself
you all
That person in game feeding yourself you go to bed you cook food you call over fine shit you go to work you come home
It was living the real world inside of this computer simulation which made you think
Which made you stop and think what's really going on here? You sell this seventh round pick. I love it
But I mean that it might be to advance mentally for some but for me and my
My list is it fits it fits perfectly let me get
Tomagachi, just kidding.
Was Tomogachi the original, or is it a pet?
I think the Sims was before Tomogachi.
Really?
Wasn't Tomogachi a little butt plug?
Yes.
Nice.
But the Sims, actually, was Tomogachi like early 90s?
Wait, what's the Takamachi?
Fuck, I should have picked my other pick.
What was it?
What was it?
Yeah, don't give it.
Yeah, say it because obviously.
No, we'll have a big honorable mention talking point where we could talk about all the games we didn't really necessarily.
Say it.
No, because you might give him something and his list is weak.
You're not going to give me nothing.
It's not going to save his list.
It was going to be StarCraft 2.
Yeah, see, again, like, you do.
Yeah, it's fucking weak, dude.
You go down on this week for me.
StarCraft 2 was, fuck.
Yes, I did.
That's how I met.
I used to have courage JD carry me on the game.
He was, he was a little fan, and then I blew him up, and now I get no percentage of his.
Yeah, 10%.
You wanted percentage of his.
Right.
Life.
Tush.
What are you picking?
All right.
I'm going to go to top off or round out my list.
I'm going to go with an icon.
iconic, recognizable, retro game.
Everyone knows what it is when you see it.
Everyone knows how to play it.
Everyone knows what the fuck it's about.
It's not complex.
It's simple.
It's easy enough.
I'm going to go with Pac-Man.
Yon.
I'm mad at it.
I get it.
Did you play the first Pac-Man when it came out?
Fuck, no.
I was dead.
You weren't dead.
It was not alive, so what was I?
Yeah, I'm gonna go with Pac-Man.
I think it's a fun way to round out the list, get retro.
Pay homage to video games as a whole.
I think that's a good way to do it.
There's a lot of ways I could have done that with other games such as and
and maybe even uh-huh.
But I think Pac-Man is the most recognizable out of the retro series of gaming.
And that's, it could be a shit pick, honestly, but I like it there and I'm happy with it.
I like it.
Give me Starcraft, too.
It's on Hector.
Sonic, the Hedgehog.
Sonic the Hedgehog.
That's pretty good.
Yes, I could have picked the other ones that I mentioned before.
But you ain't fake.
But I ain't fake.
I could have picked Echo the Dolphin with the dopest fucking goes back in time and meets the first DNA strand ever.
I could have gone with Alter Beast, which was fucking phenomenal for Sega.
But, yeah, Sonic.
iconic
from the Eastern Atlantic
I mean I played
I run dynamic
when they represent like this ceramic
I love son
planet they scanned it
they ban it
that's how I ran it
Oh
A-L skills
What
Oh
I was
I go on
Man
Last pick of the draft
Last pick
Um
I've got
I've got one of the strongest
multiplayer games of all time
I definitely have
Story games
Knocked out of the park here
You mean you guys are
pretty much getting shit on
When it comes to story games
so I think I've got to go couch game here
because the only other option is
competitive game you guys have
you guys have basically stolen all of the competitive
StarCraft 2
yeah
yeah only fucking
bro people don't understand
how good StarCraft 2
name one pro from back then
Garlet
Idra
Idra
IDRA
yeah why
he played undead
What about
Huck
Huck
he played Protas
oh shit
I'm telling you it was fucking
massive.
Mega nerd.
It was like Fortnite before.
Hucked that with the pillow.
Darkraft too was like Fortnite
before Fortnite.
Like the APMs.
Like people used to track APMs.
Like you see how fast Fortnite people do it.
Like people used to track APMs of how fast people were fucking doing.
No, it is a huge.
It is a massive game.
It took over and you don't even have it on your list.
It was the beginning of being cracked.
This is a picky wishing.
Okay.
I kind of want to replace the Sims with it.
Well, you can't.
Put Starcraft 2 up there.
No, no.
We already, we already.
If you changed one, I changed one.
Put StarCraft 2 up there and we're only tweeting out top 5.
Man, a lot of, and he's cheating too.
And he's cheating.
And he's cheating.
I'm going to read the text of what this video is about, but suddenly when we get here and we see my top 5, suddenly, well, let's do 7.
Because we're having fun, dude.
It's not about fun.
It's about competition.
And I think that I was saying that before.
You said who cares about winning when we first got here.
and now look at you
it's called fucking strategy
it's called LeBronism
Lebronism
What isum
Relax man
He's got midnight club up there
I am gonna go
Which one do you think I'd take
That was one of mine
I didn't have fucking that one up there
Take that with a grain of salt
His list is shite
Yeah that's true
Dude I played every
I think I'm gonna go with the other one
I played it
The thing is is I
I can't speak for what other people have played.
So even if people have something at the number one,
I can't back them up on it.
It's just that that's a solo game.
And I have so many solo games that I think I need that, like, couch game.
Yeah, do it.
Do the couch game.
I'm going to go with We Sports Resort.
Oh, that's good.
That's fun.
I was going to go there at one point.
I'm going to go We Sports Resort here.
All of us get to replace one of them.
We get to replace one?
No, you don't.
I don't.
I think never.
Okay.
Can I replace something less popular than the one that I pick?
After seeing y'all seventh pick, I'm not even mad at Sims.
We Sports Resort?
I want to replace Resident Evil.
You have the worst last pick.
I want to replace Resident Evil, even though I believe it's hot,
with something less known and more obscure.
Mark Echoes Getting Up.
Can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
I realize that you are my boss.
I'm not letting you.
No one's boss.
Wait, are you talking about getting over?
over it? No, getting up.
I don't know.
Mark Echo, like, bring it up.
Mark Echols getting up.
What about splinter cell?
Yeah, that would have been a good one.
Tom Clancy is.
No, no, no, no, no.
Resident Evil, let me, yeah, right here,
Mark Echo's getting up.
Of course, some graffiti.
What the fuck is this?
Dude, it's so good.
Greatest game of all time.
It's a, what, it's a vandalism game?
All right, let's throw some honorable mentions.
I don't leave it, then fine.
Let's just do a line of honorable mention.
mentions i'll do starcraft too

Did Guitar Hero
Guitar Hero
There's not a
A flash in the pan
You've never played
Guitar Hero

Rhythm game on there
Fuck
Damn if I did guitar era

The Rhythm Crowd is
That Dats
Devolution for me then
I would have put
Guitar Hero
Over
Walk Ben
We Sports Resort.
But I didn't cheat like Nick did, so I probably could...
How did I cheat?
All right, raise your hand.
If you have a game under that you've never played, mania.
I've played every game.
You played Super Smash Brothers.
I mean, I guess everyone did.
You played the Sims?
Yes.
No, the fuck you did not.
No, I'm not picking Sims unless I played that and fell into that fucking shit.
My brain expanded.
I'm in the Sims.
I mean, if we're saying that, then, yeah, I've played them all.
Let's actually, let's get neutral here and let's actually discuss who we think has the strongest list.
All right.
Let's go from fourths to first.
We can rank them ourselves real quick.
I know who my fourth is.
I think I know who my fourth is too.
I got my fourth in mine.
Ready, one, two, three, hex.
And you're a good man, too.
You really are.
Oh, my God.
Bro, I was so insulting when you guys all in unison said hex.
Now the question is,
Let me look at Maniacs list.
I think I know.
I have a great, like, this is why it should have been top five, because then I went.
Minecraft, World Warcraft, Pokemon.
I don't think you win off that.
What beats me?
Like, the thing is, I do have a couple games there that I've never played, but I think my top
three is fucking insane.
I don't, I think.
I mean, I think my top three is fucking insane.
World of Warcraft, Pokemon Red, Red, and Minecraft?
My top three is unstoppable.
Your top three is gubernation, bro.
Some of your top threes aren't your top threes
Because you've never fucking played them
Oh, I certainly played my top three
I played the hell out of them
And so did everyone that's gonna be voting on that.
But the thing is, is you have two games
That were that had
Short lifespans.
Me?
Yeah.
Halo 3?
In the grand scope of things
My game's revolution in our lifespan
But big is huge impact.
People still talk about Halo 3.
Of course, but Fortnite has been out longer.
Fortnite carries my lifespan.
Listen, we don't even got a debate
because I don't even know if we're going to agree.
You know what we should do?
We should make a poll and post it on Twitter.
We're doing.
That's what we're doing.
I like our top five.
Post all seven.
Post all seven.
It's got to be all seven.
Are we posted soon?
I'm mad I didn't get League of Legends and Final Fantasy.
Yeah, I need something to look at my drive home.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yes.
Everybody knows who fucking Call-Duty Four is, though.
There we got.
They're not even going to know who's in the pod.
Yeah, yeah, they don't know.
Yeah, I like my list.
I like it's true to me and it's also completely not true to me at all at the same time.
I played it exactly how I wanted to and fired up on it.
I got a retro pick in there.
I hope I could have gone to 10.
Put StarCraft 2 instead of Sims.
No.
No.
I would put Stargraft 2, but I tried to be funny.
Uh-huh, me too.
That's why I picked Resident Evil 1.
in Midnight Club
Well, Midnight Club was fucking sick
None of you picked
Oh, I guess Tush picked
A racing car
Yeah, I was thinking
Need for Speed Underground
Underground 2
Would have been my pick
No man
Midnight Club was a multiplayer
Like
And all you had to do was crash into someone
To take their flag
It's like TNT run
Really?
But way, wait
But you're racing in the entire city, bro
Yeah, it was fire
I did love that game
I think mine wins
I really do think
Yeah if you have no friends
You can't
You cater to the nerds man
If you have no friends to play with
Who did you cater to the optic fan base
With the MonoWRefar 2 Halo 3
That is true
You did you did
Like in terms of recency
People are just going to vote in a second
They're not going to fucking put their phone down
And be like
That's true
Hmm
But then they're going to just say
They're going to see Fortnite Halo 3
Mono Fair Q
That's a winner
They're going to see
They love it
And I love it too
Because we got that TikTok
Bray
We're going to see it.
I honestly think if yours wins, which I think yours should win.
This was your idea.
This was your idea.
You definitely put more thought into it than all of us.
So you, on paper, you should win.
I feel like I win.
But I think what really sets you over the top is Mario Car 64.
You think?
Not RD2?
No.
Compared to my Halo deal.
I had to hit a story angle.
But the Model Warfare 2 story and the Halo 3 story are already so strong.
Obviously, it doesn't hold a candle to Red Dead, but it's, you already have the story.
I think the Mario Kart 64 pick is where you really rounded out.
You love it.
Yeah, it's really good pick.
You love it.
Yeah, but then you got weak-ass Pac-Man.
You have the Sims.
You can't actually talk shit.
Oh, Sims is better than Pac-Man.
I'm not talking shit about it.
Pac-Man's tight.
Yeah, it's one of the OGs.
Yeah, it's just an OG.
Like, you just have to respect Pac-Man.
If girls were voting on this,
maybe Nick gets the girl vote with Sims.
You fucked my whole shit up when you think
Op. Big play.
Now you learn it.
I think you kind of gave up once I did.
You can tell when Hex gave up.
As soon as I picked Ocarino of Time, he gave up.
You went right to Residential Mid-N-N-N-N-Kle-
You know why, though, too?
It's because I didn't want somebody to pick Mario
Brothers before that because I was going to say
Okreene of Time at number two.
And then I was going to go,
all e-sports. I was going to do CSGO.
I was going to do fucking
LOL, but I'm like, no, I never play that shit. I'm not
going to be a thing. Yeah, if you would have gone Ocreen of Time
in the Mario Bros. 3 spot,
you would have got both. Yeah. Because no one would have
picked Mario Bros. 3.
All right.
All right. Let's see who wins. Let's see who wins.
We're going to send this. We're going to send this off to Twitter.
