hello and welcome to the multiplayer gaming podcast we are three lifelong gamer dads and today we have a bonus round draft and tournament ready for you all i am your host paul and joining me he'd make for a great roommate with his inventions like the jewel cool it's josh oh man just think how cool you would be or like parts of you would be parts you know i'm not an engineer but i am i am a problem solver and yo if you got a problem you'll solve it check out the hook while my DJ revolves it. Ice, ice, ice. Come on, Ryan, you were late. Let's count on you.

Thanks, Vanilla Ice. All right. And then joining us, I know he'd make for a bad roommate because one time 20 years ago, he ate my entire box of Wheat Thins in one sitting. It's Ryan. Hey, you know, that lost marathon we did made me very, very nervous. Yeah, did it. I love bringing that up because I could not care less at all. But I was a very, very poor college student. And I remember, like, at the time, we were all just teenagers eating all of our parents food and we didn't care, right? You just eat without any kind of consequence.

And then as soon as I moved out and I bought like a $4 box of Wheat Thins, Ryan came over, and I think you spent the night, and you ate the whole box in one sitting. Demolished that box of Wheat Thins. And I was like, Ryan, that was $4. That was my school. Because at the time, when you were living at that condo, I was in, I think, senior year of high school. So I would get out at like 1230. I'd go to the gym. I'd come to your house. And then we would just play games or watch TV or do whatever and hang out. And then usually I'd probably crash there and then go to school the next day or whatever.

I never went home anymore in senior year. So, no, I, yeah. Sorry, buddy. i'll get you a box and so much lost on dvd yeah watched so many my favorite thing about living in that house though is that if i ever didn't have my key or if the front door was locked ryan would scale up to my roommate's second story balcony and just like a ninja could climb the stucco on the outside and then would climb in through eric's window and unlock the front door it was it was great no lie my my brother ended up renting a house like two condos over from that uh 10 12 years later and it brought

back so much memories walking up i'm like oh i've climbed i climbed up that thing a bunch of times oh yeah got your ninja on all right so before we start today's bonus round episode here we do want to give a very special shout out to a new patreon supporter we had someone sign up with epic status they are not in our discord server but we do want to give a shout out to Patreon user Drozalol, I think is how it's pronounced. But we want to say thank you for signing up with Epic Status. We so appreciate it. Coming in, Epic! Now get your tail in the Discord and say hi to everybody. Yeah, get in and tell us how your name's pronounced.

Maybe Droz? I think it's Droz, L-O-L. Drozalol? Drozal lol draws a wall that sounds like a medicine yeah yeah if you're 24 to 35 take draws a law yeah may cause death paralysis yeah exactly all right and then also we have just a little bit of an announcement josh do you want to talk about how we're shaking up our patreon tiers a little bit? I mean, this is a big announcement if you ask me, Paul, but we are shaking up our Patreon tiers. The podcast continues to grow. Thank you so much to everybody out there for the incredible support. As we grow, we try to tweak things a little bit to make things

even better for you and to make sure that we can keep up with everything as well. So I'm pretty excited about these. We'll see what people think, but I think this is a phenomenal thing that we're doing here. So basically, what we used to do is if you signed up for Legendary, you got to pick a game that we would deep dive. And that has been phenomenal. The support there has been incredible. We have played some games that honestly I never would have picked up in a million years because of that. The issue with that is, as nice as it is, is that sometimes on a year like this year, we have so many releases coming out that we went, man, we got to kind of change things a little bit. So what we are going to do is instead of a deep dive, we are going to give anybody that signs up there a bonus episode. So this will be an extra episode.

Anytime somebody signs up for Legendary, they get to pick the topic for the episode. So just like this bonus round, right? We are going to do best characters to have as a roommate. And you can be like, I want to come up with some silly topic. You can do that. We will actually record an episode of a topic of your choice and then publish it to the world. So you get to be the hero, bring extra content to everybody. But just to spruce that up just a little bit, if you stay legendary for six months on top of the bonus episode that you get after six months, we will let you pick a deep dive for us to do on top of that. So I mean, if you want to be a hero to the world and bring more

multiplayer gaming podcasts to everybody out there, this is your opportunity. And where can they do that, Josh? Multiplayersquad.com. My favorite website. All right. All right. And this is also one reason why all of our listeners should make sure to follow the podcast. Because even though we do regularly release our episodes on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, Once we're starting

to release bonus content here or there, you're going to want to make sure you don't miss it. So make sure to hit the follow button. And also, we'd love to have you join our Discord server. Whether you are DrozdLol or not, come follow us. There is a link in that episode description. We'd love to have you here. And is that it? Do we have anything else to announce? We are changing our epic tier as well um so i won't make this too long here because you guys know i love to talk but if our epic supporters which droz lol is now one of thank you very much we've got a bunch of other ones but what we're going to do is starting as of this episode if you stay epic for six months

we are going to have a community night on our Discord server where we will dedicate that in your honor. We will play games with the community. Maybe it's Jackbox Party, Quiplash, whatever a game that the whole community can come together and play. Maybe Among Us or something fun that everybody can hop in and play together. And again, you get to be the hero in that case, because we will dedicate that to you as a celebration for saying, hey, thanks for supporting the podcast. Yeah. And I think that's it. So we'd love to have you guys come join us on Patreon and in Discord. Make sure to do that. And then for today's episode here, in case you are new to the podcast, or maybe you haven't run across this format episode before,

we are going to be drafting characters that we believe would be the best roommate. So this is going to work exactly like a fantasy football draft. We are going to go four rounds, which means each of us will be selecting four characters to have as a roommate. It will be snake style. So here for this draft in round one, it is going to be me, Ryan, Josh, which means in in round two it'll go in reverse josh ryan me and we'll go until we have selected all 12 characters and then we will match them all up against one another march madness style we will engage in some light debate and banter and we will professionally present our case for why our pick should be the winner.

And then we will ultimately vote. And we'll see which character comes out on top as the overall winner of the draft. I think for a lot of our listeners, this is their favorite format. I love doing them. I think it's so fun. I love having the first half be the draft and the second half being the actual tournament. And a little bit of light competition never hurt anyone anyone so we'll see who comes out on top this suckers are going down bring it i believe i won the last draft whatever so we'll see we'll see

who takes this one hindsight is 2020 paul sure is yeah all right so i get to kick this draft off now this is an interesting one because like i don't know what what qualifies as a good roommate i think there's a lot of criteria you can look at i think this might be the worst draft to have the number one overall pick because i think there's no clear consensus winner um i'm just gonna go with who i legit think would be the best roommate i don't know if this is anywhere on your guys radar or not but i'm just going to go with who I legit think would be the best roommate. I don't know if this is anywhere on your guys' radar or not, but I'm just going to go ahead and take Batman. Batman? I want Batman to be my roommate.

He's never there? Now, there's a few reasons why. First of all, Bruce Wayne's not going to run late on rent. All right? I don't need to worry that my roommate's going to leave me holding the bag. It's not going to happen. You know, if I ever need to borrow the car, you know, I can ask Batman to borrow the Batmobile, which I think is pretty awesome. And I'm just assuming that he's going to bring Alfred with him. So I'm not gonna have to worry about cooking or cleaning. The place is

going to get taken care of. So, you know, and if anything goes down, who better to have in your corner than Batman? So that's what I'm going to do here with the number one overall pick. I don't know. Maybe an actual superhero with real powers. Superhero shots fired. Like a boring superhero like Superman? Oh, you mean the one that can lift trains and giant statues and anything that he wants to do and he can fly and do all this crazy

stuff? You mean that? I have such a good slanderous argument against Batman, but I'm going to save it for later. Sure, save it. Alright, Ryan, coming to you. Who's the first character you're going to draft here? Well, for me, on the terms

of wealth and riches and fame and adventure, I'm going to go with the beautiful, the stunning, the amazed. Don't you, don't you, Ami? I know who you're taking. I know who I was going to take. The lovely Lady Croft. Yeah, that's the right pick, man. You mean the character that's less strong as Batman and less rich? Wow.

Really? Because she's pretty rich. And I've seen her climb mountains with her bare hands, Paul. Bare hands. And she didn't have to eat food to keep her stamina up. Oh, that's very true. Sure. All right.

I won't slander the pick too much. I'll hold off until until a little later as as josh also mentioned that was my number one i did not think for a second that she would fall to my pick um but i i got my hopes up when paul went batman and then i knew ryan would you should have known better well laura croft did win a previous draft so we'll see if she can maybe take the cake a second time. Yeah. All right. So I really tried to think outside the box on this one, guys. And normally I try to take early picks that I think maybe you guys have a chance of taking.

In this case, I'm not worried one bit. I don't think any of you have any of these people on your list, to be honest with you. So my first pick is going to be mamir from god of war brother brother brother cold brother brother over here come get me brother hold off brother brother oh okay all right yeah okay are you gonna wear them on your belt buckle no i'm not gonna wear them that's that's disrespectful No, I'm not going to wear them. That's disrespectful. I'll leave them on the table. Okay. Yeah.

Okay. Number one, we're talking best roommates here. All right. Mimir, he's not going to take up very much space. Right? So I get the whole apartment or house to myself. All I got to do is just have a little counter for him to chill on, maybe a paintbrush and some canvas or something for him. He's the smartest man alive.

He can see basically into know into other realms he knows everything he's got a fantastic accent what better person to just sit and have a conversation with you know what makes god of war 2018 so great when you're paddling around on the canoe and mamir is telling you a story you know yeah and it. And it's just like, hey, Mimir, tell me a story, man. Having a party? He's the life of the party. His eyes glow. What a cool party trick.

So, I mean, in all actuality, if I'm thinking, hey, who is going to be the best roommate out there? Mimir? Top notch, buddy. You're not concerned some people might be put off by the fact that he is a decapitated head? No, it's Mimir. People know. And he'd just greet them right away.

You know, he'd be like, hello, brothers, or whatever the accent is that he does that I can't do. No, keep going, Josh. You're doing so good. I just realized. I thought myself into a corner right there, man, because I was like, well, now I got to do it. I got to do the accent. And then I butchered it, and I just ran the white flag up right away. Speaking of his accent, though, I listened.

This is how much I like his accent. The audio book for the first God of War, 2018, is voiced by the voice actor of Mimir. Oh, that's funny. So, yeah, if anyone gets it on Audible or anything, not a sponsor of the show. It is voiced by him, which is really cool to hear as he

reads it through. Well, and you know Mimir's not going to borrow any of your clothes, so that's another bonus. Exactly. He's not dirtying up dishes. I mean, really, ideal. You're going to have to feed him. You're going to have to hand feed him all his meals, Josh. He's immortal.

He doesn't need to eat. He doesn't need to eat or drink or anything. He just sits there and has good conversation. I mean, what more could you ask for in a room thing? Is it established he doesn't have to eat? Yes. I feel like he eats or drinks at some point in God of War. Where's it going to go, Paul?

It doesn't matter. He's a decapitated head, Josh. I know. He doesn't have a stomach. He's a magical being. He doesn't need to eat. I like how that's the preposterous part, is where does the food go? Yeah.

Let's be reasonable here, Paul. All right. So, Josh, you're on the turn. You get to now select the first pick of the second round. Who are you going to take here? I am going with my girl, D.Va. Wow. Cringe.

As a roommate? As a roommate. I know this is, you see, you guys, I bet she's not even on your list, is she? Either one of you. But let me tell you why. No, we're not on the list. Yeah. You know why? Because you guys don't think creatively like I do.

Okay. Number one, D.Va, gamer. You've got a buddy to play video games with all the time. Number two, rich. She's famous. She's filthy stinking rich. Okay, so you don't have to worry about rent. There's your Batman argument.

Okay, she's going to buy all the Doritos and Mountain Dew you want. Okay, the mech, her mech Taki, which I had to look up because I didn't know the name of the mech, but I do my research for these podcasts. So Taki, you get to take Taki out on the town. Hey, Diva, I got to run the store.

You mind if I take Taki for that yeah go ahead it's fine what only one more could you ask for how much all right diva i did not see diva going see i think there's a reason we didn't see diva going well uh because you guys didn't think about best roommate qualities. Do we put in the Mario death sound here after that? No, what? Okay. All right. Wait a minute.

You both legitimately tell me that you would not like to take the mech suit out on the town. I'd rather take the Batmobile out on the town oh yeah buddy oh yeah the thing that can't fly all right well josh uh i i like your pick i think there's about 15 overwatch characters i would take above diva but no way man gamers well okay how many of them are gamers paul i i sure you can game with diva it's it's gonna be great uh how many of them are gamers, Paul? Sure, you can game with D.Va. It's going to be great. How many of them are rich? All right, moving on to Ryan. I don't like where this is going already.

Round two, pick two. Ryan, who are you going to take? Well, for my second pick, I'm going to go with myself as Arthurthur morgan hold up easy eat boy good boy yeah a man who can drink you under the table the table i say and when someone comes around they say you better do better do this. He said, I don't know, Dutch. That was pretty good. Not bad.

The very last line, the front part was terrible. All right, so Arthur, what makes you want to take Arthur? That's the only one I practice. I don't know, Dutch. I always say to my wife, I think Arthur would be a great roommate because he will also always be gone on his crazy adventures. He'd be part of his gang, and then he can always be the muscle when you're back at your house. If he comes back around, he's going to crash just like I did. I'd come in.

I'd get all my ammo, refill, do all the things I need to do. Boom. And then fast travel out of there and go off and gallivant through the plains or whatever else the heck I'm going to do and rob trains and whatnot. Are you going to borrow his horse and go out on the town? Is this a bragging point? Absolutely. Speaking of the horses, though, in Red Dead, it's kind of a running joke in my house because me or my son have killed all the horses we have. I named them after an accident.

I named them after my wife. My wife's name is Sarah. I'm on Sarah 5.0 right now. We treat all the horses. We just keep killing them. I'm Arthur Morgan, mainly because I just wanted to say I don't know Dutch. I love all the videos of people accidentally punching their horse

instead of getting on top of the saddle just by hitting the wrong button. Yep. Okay, Arthur Morgan. Interesting. I thought we would probably have a Red Dead character go, because there's like 40 to pick from. So, all right. Not a bad pick.

I now have the last pick in round two, and I'm going to go with something a little strategic here. Normally, I would not take this in the second round, but, well, actually, I get my two back-to-back. All right, first, I am going to take another Overwatch character, someone I would rather room with over D.Va. I'm going to say Zenyatta experience tranquility oh you want a guy preaching to you non-stop about how you should i thought about zenyatta but i was like dude i'd

want to just kick him out after a while i don't think zen is too preachy, but... You should not sleep until nine o'clock, Paul. Zen's not going to say that. Oh, you don't think so? I will not juggle. Like, those are his voice lines. Look, Zen is quiet, right? He's a quiet roommate. He's not going to be making too much noise.

If you get hurt, he can heal you. I don't see D.Va doing that. But at the same time, he can also deal out damage. He knows when it's necessary to deal some damage, so I feel like he can help me in a back alley fight if I need it. If I need healing, he can take care of that too. So Zenyatta's great. He's also an Omnic, so being machine, I feel like he's a little more predictable.

I know what I'm signing up for. I think if we're realistically thinking about who you want to live with the normal day in day out i think zen is going to be an ideal roommate how's he gonna pay his rent paul uh you're gonna have to cover his rent for him love and he's a monk he doesn't work okay maybe i didn't think about the yeah that's right uh i'm not worried about it it's gonna be just mocked my diva pick so i have to return all right so i will take zen to close out round two and then starting round three this is where

i'm gonna do a little actually actually before we do that pick we're gonna take a short break and we'll be right back and then we'll start round three. Awesome teaser, Paul! Love it! All right, we're now back. Yeah, I know how to do those reads, Josh. I watch sports. I listen to sports radio. After this break, I'm going to tell you why Zenyatta's the ideal roommate. All right, so here we are starting out round three. I feel like this is where I need to be a little strategic because I don't know if this character is going to survive coming back to me.

So I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to draft Cortana. I thought about Cortana. That was a good idea. That's a good pick. Where's the strategery here, Paul? Well, I feel like there's a very high chance one of you two would draft her anyway cortana has been drafted in previous drafts oh yeah i know we are all halo fans and uh i i just felt like she's probably the most in competition on my list so i'll put her in

here uh i love the idea that if i'm just like about life, she can just talk to me through an earpiece. She's going to tell me people's names that I might forget or who people are. She can give me strategy as I just go through life. I feel like she's going to be an asset in all areas. She can hack computers. So I don't know, if I go to one of your guys' houses and I want to know what you're saying about me in your DMs to one another. She can hack, figure out what those things are, and she has a good soothing voice and a good sense of humor. I think all that goes a long way.

It's not a bad pick. All right. So I will lock in Cortana here for the beginning of round three. And then, Ryan, we are coming back to you. For me, for my third pick, I am going to go as a, I guess, kind of a history buff and someone who likes adventure and to explore. And we'll probably try to find anyone I can tag along with on those said adventures. I'm going to go with Nathan Drake. Strangers trying to kill me. Leave my map on a burning plane.

Plane is missing. Most likely dead. That's great. Great start, Nate. Okay. So he's going to have treasure. He can pay his rent. He's going to have stories from all his adventures.

So we can sit there. He can sling me some beers. It's good to go. So I think I would be a good asset to him, and he'd be a good asset to me as roommates. I was just going to ask how you're going to feel about watching Nathan Drake and Lara Croft start dating right in front of you. Oh, my gosh.

Is there any jealousy factor? Because that whole roommate situation can get awkward then. I'm already jealous all of a sudden. Are we getting rid of Sarah 5.0 at this point? Oh, shit. You've got to think about these things when you're building the... It's going to be Drake no.0 in a heartbeat. I like that you're really doubling down on this kind of character

because Lara and Nathan are just like male and female counterparts. They're basically the same person. Which is what mean this is what i love i'm a history buff guy and i i love exploring i'm an outdoorsman so i love going outdoors and doing all that stuff so so that aspect of it you know being able to go out and do those things would would draw me into that for sure but uh yeah i didn't i didn't think about that josh thanks for ruining my uh little perfect world it's all it's all competition man i gotta i gotta knock you guys down so i can win this one well this is not all of them in one house this is just uh these are roommates you know i'm just saying yeah this is not a big brother situation that is true but obviously lady croft is number one how dare you shoot down my argument

i like nathan nathan drakes is a good pick he i think is probably the most fun hang of anyone we have drafted are you kidding me yeah and then you're at a bar you could get in a bar fight with him he'd never played the games don't know what he's just a stranger to me i don't even know who you are yeah josh has no no uncharted experience i forgot heathen all right well josh we're coming back to you you get your last two picks of the draft i can't believe how quickly we're flying right through this yeah man all right so we're gonna close out round three here who are you gonna take you guys are gonna laugh at me, but I mean, maybe I'm not going to win, but I'm going to have the funnest house imaginable.

It's not Big Brother. It's not Big Brother, but hey, you know what? Maybe it will be, because first, I'm going Claptrap, baby. Oh, this is the worst pick by far. I wrote down, and I said paul is going to disagree instantly and then i said is he annoying maybe is he funny heck yes and claptrap's gonna make you feel better about your own life because that poor guy is doomed for nothing good to ever happen to him is his voice a little annoying some people

think so i find it funny personally i'd have a conversation with clap trap any day of the week i would 100 hang out with this dude any day keep your wits about you minion this glacier is run by a bandit named captain flint the jerk kept me as his torture play thing for a few months we play games like dodge the blowtorch and don't get dunked into the pool of acid i was really good at the first one he knows how to party he's always looking for a party claptrap just wants to have a good time you know what i want to do i want to have a good time do you want to go to his birthday party which has 12 pizzas and it's just you and him yes who doesn't want to eat 12 pizzas you've proven

my point paul all right you sold me i'm in yes i'm coming over to the party also the other thing is clap trap is a good friend man he will do anything he can to cheer you up if you're having a bad day as long as he's not burning down the house, which is a possibility, but if he's not, I think you've got a great friend on your hands, too. And he's a robot, so again, he's not going to steal your box of wheat thins. That is true. I might be remembering this wrong, but

doesn't... Okay, so he's in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, right? Doesn't he send you on a few missions just to get his items, even though he knows you might die? He asks you to. He's not the most loyal. He asks you to.

You don't have to. He asks you to do that. Sure. All right. Now, I knew that we have drafted Claptrap before, so I had to do a quick search. And I drafted him in characters to hire. Do you remember what position I gave Claptrap in my office? Janitor? Janitor?

Janitor. Yeah! He would be a good janitor, I stand by that. He's gonna clean my house on top of everything else! You guys are... Oh, thank you, Paul. Thank you. The question is the annoyingness.

If you think about what makes a bad roommate, I think most people would think annoying and not clean. And Claptrap is very annoying so that's gonna be a hard like thing to overcome but i hear you i gotta i gotta an honest question do i ever annoy you uh not the answer is yes by the way the answer is yes only amazing friends only when you stick our listeners on me for no reason here i am just like enjoying my stuff and you're like go get them go annoy paul randomly on discord yes exactly i i find that a little annoying i rest my case paul sure there you go so you you relate personally to claptrap this is what he's a fun dude he's like my you know

my brother from another mother man all right clap trap well there there are some picks in this draft i i did not see coming all right we are now in round four last three picks of the draft josh you get to finish out your team well not team but you know your last pick who are you taking all right you know what we've all picked these really creative you know really over the top really wise renowned characters what really wise yeah why smart picks i got my mirror and all that you know what the best roommate is man's best friend okay and i need a dog in my life. I'm picking dog meat. Dog meat is going to be the best roommate imaginable. He's just going to hop on the couch with you. He's going to greet you when you come home. I mean, I need a dog, man. And what more famous, better companion

than dog meat from the Fallout series? I'm picking him up. He's going to come live with me. It's going to be great. Everybody's going to fawn over him. They're going to be, oh, look at your dog, man. So he's going to be popular with everybody. That's my pick. And how's he going to pay for his rent, Josh, to throw that one back at you? He doesn't need to. His love is how he's going to pay for it, Paul. He's going to run around finding bottle caps, bring them back at you. He doesn't need to. His love is how he's going to pay for it, Paul. He's going to run around finding bottle caps, bring them back to you. Hey! That's for you. Paul, you're my best ally in this draft!

Yes! And what good are bottle caps in our world? Well, you never know. That's the joke. Until it gets there. Alright, alright. Dogmeat. I can definitely say I did not see Dogmeat getting drafted. I equally did not see Dogmeat getting drafted, but yeah. For those who don't know, Dogmeat is sweet. I equally did not see dog meat getting drafted.

But yeah, for those who don't know, dog meat is sweet. I do have a question for both of you. Do you guys both like dogs? Yes. You guys both like dogs? Yes. Okay, just making sure. We're all dog people. We're a very dog-friendly podcast.

That's very true. All right. Well, Ryan, are you going to draft Roach from The Witcher? Are we going to continue this animal theme? You can't have Roach in an apartment. Who says it's an apartment? Plus, Roach doesn't listen. We're just roommates.

You can't tell me how to live my life. All right. So, Ryan, your last pick. Who are you going with? Oh, man. This is a hard one because there's so many things you factor in to a roommate. For me, what I want is somebody who's uh able who can help defend me okay who has many many good stories to tell and always gots a good pack of cigs on on. So I'm going to go with my boy, Solid Snake.

There it is. The obligatory Metal Gear reference. You know you couldn't get away with it. It's got to be there. Snake, are you okay? Snake! Snake! Mr. Snake, he's here.

He's going to help me through any situation I need. He's going to give me some crazy long 80-minute cinematic cutscene every time we talk. So we'll be set. And then I'm sure he's got overseas accounts or whatever he needs to do on the offshore stuff. So with Big Boss and everything, he's set. So we'll be good on rent and fees and dues and then he'll be gone on uh two month missions and i won't have to deal with anything for a while so now are you worried that you're gonna go to open a box of things that

you've packed and all of a sudden snake's just gonna jump out and scare you half to death this is a possibility i'm just picturing Snake crawling from the bedroom out to the kitchen. Just across the living room army crawling. Checking for traps and on high alert. What's wrong with your friend, Ryan? It says Ryan's stuff. Open it.

Huh. Gotcha. Oh, goodness. Also another series I never played, so oh my gosh dude you're missing out i know two beloved series metal gear solid and and uncharted all right well that's a solid pick and uh that means we have one last pick in the draft and then we'll do some honorable mentions don't worry because i know that there's a lot of good ones to take here i got that by the way solid pick yeah yeah solid pick there you go okay i am going to draft someone that i have taken in a previous draft and all of my reasonings are going to be exactly the same they're not going to stand a chance but i'm going to go with my boy jackie wells ladies and gentlemen jackie well oh dang i always forget

about jackie man jackie was the man maybe i should have taken jackie around earlier but uh because i feel like he always dies in round one but like if you want to talk about someone fun to hang out with jackie is without a doubt the most fun person that we've drafted on this list. We know he's a good dancer. We know he is fiercely loyal. He enjoys a good expensive tequila. He has drinks named after himself at the local bar. I mean, Jackie knows how to have a good time at a party.

He is the life of the party. And I think he would make for an excellent friend and an excellent roommate. And since we're on this whole trend of like borrowing transportation, he's got a pretty sick motorcycle you can borrow also. So, yeah, I'm going to go ahead and take Jackie Wells from Cyberpunk 2077. I would have went with Pan Am, but you know, whatever. Yeah, sure. Cause she's a good mechanic.

Is that why? That was the exact reason. That's the only reason for sure. Yeah, I bet. All right. So what, what are some honorable mentions here of some people that didn't get

taken? Um, I've got Wheatley from portal too. I know. Hey, i know you think he's a bad guy but he's just misunderstood and wheatley is i actually wrote this down hilarious af so wheatley over glidos huh yeah yeah glidos is psychotic man plus she takes up too much room she's unless you got her in a potato she's she's, weirdly small, and he can fly. He's not stuck on rails and stuff all the time. I had Marin from Jedi Survivor. Okay.

She's quiet, has the Force. No other reasons. The Ryan Corollary, that's what we're going to call this. That's the name. Yeah. All right. What about you, Ryan? What honorable mentions did you have?

And are they all females? I could. I mean, I had quite an extensive list, but I'm going to go over a couple others. I had Cade Six from Destiny. Oh, okay. Rip. Rest in peace, little guy. He was just a cool personality, voiced.

That's a fun pick. Yeah, yeah. It would have been cool to be with him. And then another one is Triss Marigold. Oh, there you go. From The Witcher. Having a sorceress as a roommate would be handy. Like, hey, this place is a mess.

Just, okay, I got it. Done. Yeah, and everyone knows my affinity affinity for redheads so uh yeah trist marigold gotcha all right well yeah for uh my honorable mentions the ones that we didn't take i did think it would be very funny to draft link because he never talks and i was gonna going to say, all you're going to get are the... Yeah, you're going to get those sounds. Also a decent cook. That was my only other point, is that he's a very fast and very good chef. He knows a million recipes.

Problem is, everything he touches is going to break. Yeah. Well, you can't keep any... Oh, man. Well, yeah. And you can't keep any flowers around the place, that's for sure, because any pots are going to get wrecked. Commander Shepard, of course, is kind of a fun idea. I was going to ask, can I live with Shepard on the Normandy? Because then that's a huge selling point. No.

Okay, then I'm glad I didn't take Commander Shepard. And then the last one would be Lucio, because... I almost thought, like, when I was literally wavering between Lucio and D.Va, and I was like, dude, Lucio would be really cool, but sometimes I think you just want peace and quiet, and he'd be all just bopping his music all night, and I'd be like, Lucio, dude, I gotta get some sleep, man. I gotta go to work in the morning. You know, so... Yeah, when you sit down for breakfast, have some Lucio O's. Yeah, it's too early. like lucio dude i gotta get some sleep man i gotta go to work in the morning you know so yeah when you sit down for breakfast have some lucio ohs yeah it's too too early too early for that

too early i'm still waking up buddy oh i do like that pic though i feel like lucio is like the jackie wells in overwatch he's the the fun of of the party speaking speaking of cyberpunk though i did forget i did have on here johnny silverhand uh a known terrorist yeah he's got a silver hand he's a rock star and he's count keanu reeves dude sure come on yeah you can't you can't go wrong yeah it's it's not the worst pick in the world i hear you all right so to summarize our draft here the four that I took are Batman, Zenyatta, Cortana, and Jackie Wells. We have Ryan clocking in with Lara Croft, Arthur Morgan, Nathan Drake, and Solid Snake. And Josh has taken Mimir, Diva, Claptrap, and Dogmeat. You drafted all one-word names, Josh.

None of your people have last names. Yeah, dude, you don't want to forget your roommate's name when you come home and you're like, Hey, dude, what's up, man? Yeah. You know, so this way it's easy. You never forget. Yeah, the most important trait of a roommate is a short name you can remember. I covered all the bases with this list.

I think that's very funny all right well we are gonna take our last break here and we're gonna come back and we're gonna match all these characters up and crown a winner all right guys round one match one we have batman versus solid snake now ryan you're at a major disadvantage here because josh doesn't really know a whole lot about snake so i'm i'm kind of curious to see where this one goes but i mean what's your big argument against batman josh or are you still gonna say i mean i don't know i just don't want you know the joker or you know showing up at my house looking for Batman when he's not home. Oh, that's true. How often do they show up at Wayne Manor?

The one thing I want as a roommate is a guy that basically every villain in the world wants to kill. Let me ask you a question, Paul. What happened to Batman's parents? They got got. Yeah, exactly. You're going to get got. What happened to his girlfriend?

She got caught. Where is she? Where is she? She's either in one place or several. That's what he's going to be saying about you. That's what I'm saying, man. I would not want Batman as a roommate. He's going to be trying to find Paul.

Where's my roommate? Where is he? Where is he? Yeah, I think you're gonna get i think you're gonna get killed paul i'm worried for your life i think you guys are overestimating how often people find out who bruce wayne is it's it is not very common okay but you drafted batman not bruce wayne well i got news for you josh bruce wayne is batman what it's it's the same person. I always thought they kind of looked the same from the nose down. Yeah, yeah.

Spoiler alert. That jawline, you got to recognize it. All right. So in Batman versus Solid Snake, as much as I love Snake as a character, I'm going to vote Batman personally. I'll vote Batman. I don't know Solid Snake. I know. Sorry, Ryan.

All right. Whatever. All right. batman i don't know solid snake so i know sorry ryan all right i can whatever all right well congratulations to batman for the the enthusiastic win in round one all right round one match two this is also going to be a short argument laura croft versus dog meat which i never thought in my life i would ever say man's best friend is all i'm gonna say uh-huh okay give me one benefit of over Laura uh he'll never leave your side Laura's gonna be gone how humble is Laura Croft like everybody says oh Laura Croft she's rich she's famous she travels the world how humble is she

is she gonna skip her trip to stay home and and make you feel better because you're you're having a bad day no she's gonna like, that's not my problem. I'm out of here. Okay. Ryan, do you rest your case? Because you don't need much here, buddy. You're not in a relationship, dude. It's a roommate.

She can do whatever she wants. I know, but I'm saying dog meat would be there for you. He'd just sit on the couch with you. He gets to scratch him behind his ears. Can you scratch Lara Croft behind her ears? No. I could try. It's probably not going to go too well.

I like that your argument is just a normal dog. You could pick any dog from any game and the argument doesn't change. Dogs are great, Paul! Yes! They're all great! You'd honestly have a better argument if it was like Doug from Up. Yeah, that can talk. Because then it could talk.

But that's not from a game, Ryan. Up was turned into a video game. I'm sure there's a game. Of course. Did it come in a cereal box? It was probably mobile. All right. So I'm guessing you guys are picking Lara Croft.

Yes. Because you both hate dogs. Is that okay? I just want to make sure. That's exactly my reasoning. All right. Round one, match three. Ooh, I might have a puncher's chance.

Mimir versus Jackie Wells. Ooh. I still say, look, Jackie is a blast, dude. I love Jackie Wells. But this tournament is for the best roommate. Jackie's going to get you in trouble, man. You're going to go to jail. What happened in Cyberpunk, Paul?

If Mimir is your roommate, Odin is after you, and you're going to get killed. No, he's not after Mimir. He's not after Mimir. Jackie, okay, number two, Jackie's dead so i mean you know which jackie are you getting you know is this corpse just chilling in the in the apartment uh i want to avoid spoiler alerts but there are other characters drafted that died as well so i'm just saying, to be clear, I did not draft Jackie Wells dead corpse. You didn't specify which Jackie. Oh my gosh.

Yeah, sure. Okay. You know, who's not dying? Mimir. Cause he's immortal. Yeah.

Mimir, I think is a great counselor. Uh, I don't know about roommate. Roommate is going to be tough. He can't, he can't move or walk. You're going to have to take care of him.

You're babysitting. The only thing you might need to do is like, he's like, hey, can you turn me around? I want to watch TV. Yeah, it's like having a baby in the house. You're going to have to move him. A baby you don't have to feed that doesn't poop, that can talk to you,

can see everything in the world, has infinite knowledge. All right. We're going to have to go to Ryan for the, uh, the, the deciding pick. Jackie is a great best friend. I would pick Jackie over Mamir as a best friend, but this draft is for best roommate. Yeah. Uh,

as best roommate, I loved Jackie. Jackie was, Jackie was great. He was one of my favorite characters in cyberpunk when I, when I played. Um, having said that, I have a big affinity for Mimir. And so I'm going to have to go Mimir on this one.

I think... What do you got to do? It's the right choice. You got to flip a page for him. Oh, I got to flip a page on a book or do any of that. He's not going to make a mess. So you're going to just basically be living by yourself, but you have this infinite

knowledge head over on your countertop. Don't forget the great accent. Yeah, and he's got a great accent. Josh, do it again. No. I think he's higher maintenance than you realize, but that's okay. We'll let Mimir go through round one. Rip

Jackie Wells. Alright, round one match for D. versus nathan drake you're gonna make the same argument i made against laur croft man what no that not also i don't know nathan drake i hear he's a cool guy but i mean you can't pet him behind his ears? That's your argument, Josh. Does he have a giant flying mech that you can borrow and take out on the town? He does not, but he probably could. Okay, they're both rich. Is he a gamer?

Does he play video games? Is he really good at them and that's his passion in life? He actually does play video games in one of the games you play. I mean, is he world famous for playing video games like D.Va is? Yeah, no, he's not. But he's also a world traveler and he's an adventurer and he's got tons of money.

How does that help you as a roommate? Many ways. D.Va's rich too, so while you got it, he's paying rent. Then D.Va's rich also. Here's the thing i think diva's voice is very annoying all right that's only because she's in overwatch right like and she's home she's taking a break man she's off of work she's chilling she's not being the super you know hyper voice for the cameras yeah the thing is i think nathan drake would actually be really fun to live with diva having a cool mech that can fly sure that's kind of neat

but i'd rather hang out with the group and have a good time laugh have some drinks enjoy some food together i'd way rather do that with nathan he'll be gone all the time he's always gonna be child you're never gonna get to have drinks with nathan drink sorry diva unless unless ryan is voting for diva he's gonna get eliminated that's all right we're gonna lose some second round picks i i know zinyad is doomed he's coming up here in a minute all right so we will let uh nathan drake win this one here with our first upset of the draft coming in next we have arthur morgan versus cortana don't do it to me cortana i i i love arthur morgan arguably my favorite protagonist in any game ever yes but the dude is so cranky all the time.

I don't know that I want to live with Arthur Morgan. He's so cranky. I feel like he's always in a bad mood unless you get him drinking and then it's going to go too far and you're getting in the slap fight like he did with Lenny. Next thing you know. Lenny! I love Arthur. I don't know that I want to live with him.

This is a tough one for me. I had the argument. I don't know why I think this, but I'm pretty sure that there's like a 95% chance that this is true. But I feel like Arthur Morgan would be smelly. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I feel like he's going to's gonna come in he's gonna have

mud on his boots he's gonna track mud through the house he's gonna be stinky he's gonna get drunk sometimes and be loud and annoying and it's like dude i would love to hang out with arthur morgan but as a roommate like putting his dirty boots up on the coffee table you know that kind of stuff it's like like, I, yeah, I think I'm going to go with Cortana on this one. And also I'm assuming that Cortana can like integrate with your home, like automation system and stuff. And you can just be like,

Hey Cortana, can you turn on the lights? Yeah. She's my Google home or my Alexa. She's not your Alexa. Come on. Yeah. I mean,

she probably is. She's the roommate. All right. So are we, we putting through cortana another upset all right what i'm learning is we we really failed in round two we're getting all the round three people are taking out the round two people all right and then our last matchup in round one we have zenyatta versus clap trap i'm I'm going with Claptrap. Dude, Zen is the... I think Zenyatta's cool. But all you're going to hear is all the stupid sayings that Zenyatta

does. Stupid sayings? Stupid sayings is what you're worried about? Yeah, but Claptrap's going to be a better friend. Zenyatta's just going to be like, he doesn't care. He's all transcendent, whatever. It's like he's yeah dude clap trap life of the party great time upbeat optimistic zenyatta is just gonna make me

feel bad about every decision that i make oh i don't know if that's fair i i think zenyatta is the ideal quiet calm roommate he's very chill very zen i think it's a good pick. But you're the decision maker once again, Ryan. And as the decision maker, because I have no... I did not play even close to as much Overwatch as you guys. So I have no decision ability either way. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to flip a coin. Oh, boy. Yeah.

Take this for fate, Zenyatta. Okay, so, Paul, you're Zenyatta? Yeah. Okay, so Head will be Zenyatta, and then Tails will be... Who are you? Claptrap. You can't even remember his pick. Tails never fails. That's how much I don't care about

Overwatch. Alright, here we go. Tails never fails. Okay, ready? Here we go. Tails. I can go. Tails! I can't. Tails! Oh, Tails. Claptrap!

Alright, so officially everyone from round two has been eliminated. Oh my gosh. Wow, Claptrap making it out of round one. Did not see it coming. Dude, don't slander Claptrap, Paul. Oh, I will slander. I pick up on your little jabs as you move on to the next

round. Wow, really surprised about that one. If you Google most annoying video game characters, he pops up on a lot of lists. That's all I'm saying. He's just misunderstood is why. Because there's a bunch of grumpy people out there that optimism annoys. Oh boy.

Alright. We are now in round two two so we are left with our final six being batman lara croft mamir cortana nathan drake and clap trap so round two match one ironically these are both of my picks this this worked out to be a very weird draft guys we all have our round one and round three picks going against one another. We have Batman versus Cortana. I, I think Cortana, man,

I'm still going to say, I don't want Batman being my roommate, dude. I'm going to be in fear for my life. Every time I hear a noise outside, I'm like, what is that? What is it?

Who is it? Is it the penguin? Is it the Joker? Is it whatever? Some of the other terrible DC villains are? Okay, so you're saying Batman comes with some negatives. Cortana, you only see as a benefit. Is that fair to say?

Yeah, I mean, she can't clean up. She's not a physical person. She can't do the dishes. She can walk around as a hologram. Yeah, but she can't interact with anything. No, no. So it's like, I'm sick of vacuuming. I'm sick of doing the dishes.

When are you going to pull your weight, Cortana? She can activate my Roborock vacuum. There you go. She can activate it whenever she wants. Maybe, but I mean, I'd still say Cortana's the better choice of a roommate here. Within a few years, you think they're not going to have, you know. I just don't want to die. I don't want to die.

You know, to like Batman's enemies bold bold takes from josh i don't want to die i don't want to die in a way you've actually kind of talked me into cortana i think i might want cortana winning here what what's your vote ryan i i that's that's where i'm at yeah i'm at cortana as as sweet as batman is and all the perks of as far as uh his money that that's that's where i'm at yeah i'm at cortana as as sweet as batman is and all the perks of as far as uh his money that that's that's really i mean what else do you get cool toys cool accessories i know josh was freaking out about you can jump in this or that earlier uh he's got i mean he's got the batwing he's got the batmobile all these things but also you don't want to die. Yeah. Yeah. Cortana for me.

Because Alfred is always in threat of dying in the Batman games. Yeah. I mean, if he was saying I could come live in the Batcave, that's a different story because it's hidden and secluded. And I'm sure it's got all kinds of traps and stuff, but we're talking like a normal roommate in a normal house. All right. Then we will give Cortana the win. Round two, match two,yan's match up here we've got laura croft versus nathan drake oh what a showdown i i i legitimately think

nathan is a better pick than laura and i will tell you one reason that you may not have considered we all have wives all right my wife's hair is everywhere all the time i don't know how it happens it's in the towels it's in the sink it's on the shower walls it's in the shower drains that i have to continually clean out um i feel like with with bringing in laura you're're going to run into some issues here. I think Nathan's actually the more solid pick, but I'm curious to hear what you guys think. That hair is so beautiful. Now, as somebody that has played a lot of the Tomb Raider games and not a lot of the Uncharted games,ura gets beat up a lot man like is she gonna come home and she's gonna be like all beat up and bruised and bleeding everywhere and stuff too and like far more likely

than nathan yeah i mean does nathan get beat up a lot and then needs like a bunch of care and stuff like that like he gets shot at a lot yeah both both have uh they're very very much attackers always coming at them non-stop nathan rarely gets injured i feel like lara gets injured more often yes yeah i think i mean the other problem is i like i don't know man then it's like it gets weird you know like it could just get weird too so i'm'm going with Nathan. Keep things safe, man. Are you worried about your farts, Josh?

Yes. Like that's the thing. Like legitimately, like, like if Nathan's sitting there, I can just rip one and he'll just fist bump. Be like, yeah.

Like, like if it's Laura, I'm going to be like, dude, I can't fart around her. You're any, uh, poopery from Costco.

I'm going to feel like I got to suck my gut in every time I walk through the room. You know what I mean? It's just going to be different, man. That's true. There's a lot more that goes into the lifestyle when you're living around a woman. Yeah, I'm going with Nathan. That's settled for me.

I get it. No, I get it. I don't even know. I mean, I know who he is, but I've never played the games. But I just know I don't want to complicate life. He's the dude that's... He's kind of like the dude. He's the dude that's, he's kind of like the dude. He's, he's fun.

He's just a funny, cool guy that always is joking and, and he's, you know, joking with Sully and whatnot. And, and so, uh,

having him as a roommate, I'm not, I'm not mad. He's pretty laid back and he's a good time. He's not judgmental. I, I, that's,

it's a really solid pick. I, I, all right. So Nathan Drake will win, which means, uh, we are now eliminating our round one pick so apparently we just crushed this in round three all right last match of round two

we have mamir versus claptrap oh how do you make me pick between my two it's a real that claptrap dude's annoying man oh all right so you're going what about you ryan yep i'm a mirror that's easy yeah all right i don't vote for either one so there it is again there's paul's little jab as we move on to the next one i i finally realized paul this is this is payback for all the Beatles slander, isn't it? No. I would never, never retribute against you, Josh. I did almost tell our listeners.

All of you go tell Josh about his Tears of the Kingdom takes. If you're a fan of Zelda, go let him have it. But I did not. I have more class than to ever say my nephew and my sister lit into me i was playing diablo and then they took over the headset from our buddy andy and it's just my nephew going let me tell you something man this is one of the best games ever i'm not standing by while you slant and he just went on this epic rant and my 11 years of life i've never heard a more this is great man so uh yeah it was it was pretty good so yes i have heard i have taken a little

heat for that take and yet i stand by it 100 oh it's the only time it's the only time your sister has ever texted me we are in group chats all the time because we're always planning things as groups or like poker night. And she texted me to just tell me how crazy you were for your takes on Zelda. I'm like, I'm with you. I agree. Oh, I thought that was so funny. I got your back, buddy.

I was going to say, I never came to the peer pressure. I'll tell you what, I'll be your roommate. All right. Stock up on Wheat Th thins i'm really i'm really gassy right so hey me too don't worry well poopery for days oh man all right we are now in the finals we've got some surprise picks here we've got mamir nathan drake and cortana so the way this works is we're just going to match them all up against one another and see who comes out on top. So starting out here, let's do Nathan Drake versus Mimir.

I think you guys know I'm voting for Nathan. It's not that I have anything against Mimir, but I feel like he's going to be more work than you realize. Nathan is very low maintenance, so I'm going to go Nathan Drake. I mean mean do you guys want to go with the obvious you know oh everybody's gonna pick he went round three so and so nathan drake to win best roommate because he's handsome and he's rich and he travels the world and yeah yeah he's funny you going to go with the severed mystical head with creepy glowing eyes?

He's always going to be there for you. That's a real good sell. Really? Do you want to see my severed? Hey, do you want to come inside my apartment and see my severed head? He can answer anything you want to know. He has the glowing eyes.

Yeah, he'll answer any questions. Yeah, that doesn't sound sketch at all by the way i wear him on my belt i mean to be fair you could go out on the town with mimir too it's not like he's stuck in the apartment no he's not stuck you're just gonna have to carry him the whole night and when you put him in a stroller i tell you what i could i could see like a cut scene where like everyone's tossing around my mirror and like a club and then he's if you go out with nathan drake you're getting zero attention dude zero you are a shadow at that point you go out with my mirror dude you're

the life of the party. Everybody's coming over to see what's going on. They're calling the cops. They're saying this guy's holding a severed head. He'll be talking. He'll be like, no, I'm fine. This is my boy. I'm not dead yet. Alright, I vote Nathan. Who are you voting,

Ryan? You get to pick. What do you think? Alright, that's a vote for Nathan. Sorry, bud. I vote Nathan. Who are you voting, Ryan? You get to pick. What do you think? All right. That's a vote for Nathan. Sorry, bud. I tried. Next matchup, Cortana versus Mimir. I'm going Mimir on this one, man. I'm voting Cortana because there's no downside.

Cortana is not a great friend. She is not kind. You know what I mean? She's not going to sit there and listen to your problems. She is not kind. She, you know what I mean? Like she doesn't, she's not going to sit there and listen to your problems. She's used to master chief. She's just going to be like,

get over it soldier and go get them, you know, or something like that. Like, I mean, he's going to be like, I almost did the, tried to do the accent again,

but he's just going to be like, I had to stop myself. He's going to be like, pull up a chair, brother, you know, like, come tell me your, your problems. He's going to give you good advice. He's going to be like, pull up a chair, brother. Come tell me your problems.

He's going to give you good advice. He's going to tell you some stuff. By the way, did you know that Mimir was a non-official jester before Odin cut his head off? So he's got a great sense of humor. I'm going Mimir on this one. And it's not just because it's my pick. Ooh, baby. You've had a lot of power in this draft, right?

I don't know what this feeling is, but I like it. I like this feeling. I'm much to Paul's chagrin. I'm going to have to go with Mimir. That's the right choice. I loved him

in that video game series. M that's my boy no i i loved him in that uh in that video game series so uh yeah my mirror's my boy okay so that leaves our final matchup cortana versus nathan drake in which case i vote nathan drake yeah okay that's drake yeah so that means nathan drake does take the crown because he has beat out both Mimir and Cortana as the best roommate. Ryan. Oh, boy. You have your first victory. You are currently celebrating, dancing in your seat.

Do you have any words? Anyone to thank? And any words for the listeners? First of all, I'd just like to thank the Academy. I couldn't be here without all these fine people. Preferably into the mic. No one heard any of that. Nobody knows.

Hey, I got bars over here. Yeah, I think it was a great pick. I think it was very wise by me. And it had nothing to do with the fact that I cosplayed him a few years ago. And it looked pretty sweet. So, yeah. He's a good choice. Round three winner.

It's been a while since we've had a round three winner. I think when you won Best Celebrity to Game With, which we crowned Chris Pratt. That was a couple years ago. Yeah. I think he was a third round pick as well yeah i don't think he was early that's for sure so well i said before we started this i said this is deep like you could go a million different directions on on where we wanted to pick guys you know or girls whatever you know whatever so yeah this is one that you could kind

of pick from wherever and anything had a shot really well congratulations to nathan drake and the uncharted franchise what what what a killer set of games that we all all love here on this podcast that we've spent so much time i love them guys they're great i wonder if i wonder how many times we've had a winner where one person's like yeah i don't know who this is i mean i know who is. I just never played the games. And thank you for the creators. What is it? Bad Dog or Angry Dog?

Naughty Dog? Well, no, no, no. Your hints on the squad cast. Bad Canine. Bad Canine. Yeah, Bad Canine. I love that that sounds like the knockoff studio.

That was one of our legendary supporter picks, and that'll be a blast to talk about. So I think that wraps everything up. So thank you once again for listening, and until next time, happy gaming. All right.

See you, everybody. See you, everybody.
