Gamer's podcast. On today's episode, we're diving into a round of gaming jeopardy, so make sure to play along with us. We test our gaming might to see which host reigns supreme. But first, some introductions are in order. I am your host, Josh, and joining me. This host of the video gamers podcast has an odd version to sugar and corn dogs, loves bandanas, and has the attention span of squirrel who is Ryan ding ding ding ding ding ding ding yeah I got it you win you win I don't know I've been out in the forest I've seen some squirrels hang out for a while man lot longer than I could I was going to say tell me any of that part's false Ryan it's it's not it's not yeah it's not yeah good Ryan Ryan we are playing some jeopardy today you and I have both prepared a bunch of questions

for each other. We are going to ask them and see who has the best video game knowledge, or maybe who gets the easier questions. But this should be a lot of fine, man. We had this, we had this suggested to us by a listener in our Discord server, which we absolutely love. We love when people come up with ideas for episodes and stuff like that as well. And we saw this one and we said, you know what? We've not done anything like this before. This sounds like a good time. so here we are. Yep, I love it. Yeah, I'm not going to lie.

I'm pretty excited for this one. This will be fun. I came up with a pretty good list of questions, man. And so I'm wondering if you're going to get these. But even if we don't get them, the listeners will get them to. They can participate for sure and just listen to how dumb we actually are. Well, I guess how dumb I am. Oh, they should know by now.

But if they don't, they're going to find out real soon. Ryan, before we get into our game of Jeopardy here, we do have a couple quick little housekeeping things. We have a new, brand new, epic supporter that just came through today by the name of Mesmer's, who signed up at Multiplayer Squad.com to support the podcast with epic status. So thank you, Mesmer's for supporting this show and make you, making this possible for all the world to hear. Yeah, that support is mesmer's rising. Mesmer. Oh. Yeah. All right. I thought that was pretty weak. Let me think about that. I'll take it.

I'll take it. Now, I will say mesmer was a class in EverQuest that was super important for rating because they could keep things charmed and stunned and locked down and stuff like that. So I have to wonder if Mesmers is using an old EverQuest class, is their name? If so, Mesmer's come to the Discord server and say hi, because I would love to reminisce about some EverQuest. Oh, gosh, we don't need to get you stuck in a loop. Oh, boy. And then we also have a review that has come in.

Now, Ryan, this review is very special because this is the first review that we have gotten from somebody in Spain. Oh, my gosh. And we love. We love. We're global. We love when people from other countries leave us reviews because it's just fun to think about our voices being spread to the world. It's crazy.

And people somewhere going like, yeah, let me check these guys out. So this one comes in from Jimmy Jamma 70B all the way from Spain. It's titled Best. And it says, this is the best show I have ever seen. They are all so good and I can't stop listening to this amazing, lovely podcast. They are so funny. Thank you for this amazing podcast. Dude, I love it.

You know what, Jimmy Jama? Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and sending it all the way from Spain. How long do you think it takes for a review to get from Spain to us? Gosh, with postage and everything, that's quite a while. It's got to be. You know what? Actually, this is a trivia question for you, Ryan.

Okay. Not to put you on the spot, but I only know this because I looked this up yesterday. How long does it take for a commercial ship to sail across the Atlantic. So if you wanted to leave the East Coast of the United States and sail to Europe, how long do you think it would take?

Ooh, I wonder how different it is. Assuming, like, let's go with like a cruise ship or like a tanker, like, you know, an actual big ship. Not like you're trying to sail your way there. My brain immediately went to three weeks, but I don't know how. Dang it, that's right. Is it really? It is really.

I didn't Google, dude. I didn't Google, so you can see. That's, okay. Yeah, I figured, yeah, around. there. I mean, it's, I mean, ships are a lot faster now. I wonder if it's different coming back. You know how it is like flying in a plane? Oh, yeah, I wonder. Yeah, I don't know if the, I don't think there's like open ocean currents or something like that. So I don't know. All I know is it says three to six weeks and you guess three weeks. So that's a, you know what, right? You got to open the throttle, bro. Open the throttle up.

We can get that down to two and a half. Although, unfortunately, your answer was not in the form of a question. So we cannot award you points for this one, Ryan. Babe, babe, babe. What is three weeks? All right, Ryan, are you ready to get into some gaming Jeopardy? Let's do it. I'm ready. All right.

All right. So this is the way this is going to work. We're going to take turns. We're going to go back and forth. We're going to ask the question, like, as if it was a Jeopardy question. You must answer in the form of a question. Yes. Because that is the rules of jeopardy.

So if you don't, no point for you, buddy. All right. All right. I'll start us off, Ryan. I wanted to go with something that I know you're familiar with. Okay. But something that I think if you don't know the answer immediately is going to really bug you. No, no.

Because you're going to feel like you should know the answer to this one. Oh, here we go. You're just going to wreck my night. You're just going to start off right away. No, no, no, no. You might know this. And if you know this, you're going to sound super smart. Okay.

Like super smart. All the listeners are going to be like, oh, my goodness. This Ryan guy's a genius. All right, right. Here we go. This mythical dragon in the Elder Scrolls 5, Skyrim, is the first. and final boss of the main story. Now you famously own about six copies of Skyro.

I do have six copies of Skyrim. Oh my gosh. I know him and I can hear his voice. Aldewan? Who is Aldewan? Dude. That is absolutely it. Yeah.

Dang, man. I can hear it. Yeah. Oh, man. I'm, uh-oh. I'm not sure. Ryan's on his game today. I'm not sure I like this one.

You can ask me, There's a few genres or a few game series that you can ask me, and I probably know most of the answers. Go outside of that realm. Then we're in trouble. I am impressed, Ryan. You answered that pretty well. So, all right, point for Ryan.

Also, I'm not keeping scores. I'm amped up now, man. I feel so good now. Oh, no. I can't wait till the very next question that I just don't know at all. You mean, I don't know. We'll see. We'll see.

Okay. Let's go with one. I have a feeling you'll get this one, but I think it's a good one. Sir Isaac Newton would love this legendary weapon. Sir Isaac Newton, famous artist, painted the Sistine Chapel, and also invented the, what is the gravity gun? There you go. There's people going, he wasn't an artist. I know that, people.

I was just nodding when I was like famous artist. He's like, yeah, yeah. That's right. That's right. Yeah, you got it. Oh, man. I like that reference, Ryan. Gravity gun, gravity gun.

Good. Yeah. All right. Speaking of the gravity gun, Ryan. Okay. All right. This haunting city beneath the sea was once a utopia, but is now overrun by splicers and big daddies.

Now, you know the game. Yeah. It's, oh, gosh, it's absolutely bile shock. But what is the, yeah, what's the name of the, city, oh my gosh, this is a good one. What is...

There's a million people right now. I know. They all are screaming. They all are screaming. And I freaking love Bioshock and I've played it. I've played one and two a million times and then I love Infinite. Gosh. All right.

Imagine you're getting out of the little submarine thing that takes you to the city, Ryan. Yeah. You go and you go up those little stairs, right? There's that big stairway that leads you up. And then right at the top, there's that banner that says, welcome to... Would you kindly give me the answer? I don't know, I don't know.

I can't think about it. No, no. Rapture. Yeah, I mean, you hear me say it. You can't do that. Ryan's like, no, no, I start saying the answer, and then he's like, oh, is it rapture? Yeah. The second you said, I was like, yep, rapture.

Yeah. What is rapture? I know, that's one that's going to be right there, man. Oh, that's going to haunt me, literally. Yeah, down. That's a, that's, yeah, like you said, it's, it's, you hear these on the radio on, you hear these on shows and movies and stuff all the time and you're like, why can't they get it? In the moment, man, I know that. I know that it's rapture. I've played it a million times, but you just, your brain farts and you just can't think of it. When you were on the spot, it is vastly different to like access that information quickly than it is if you're just not even trying. And that's the thing. Everybody knows Biosho. Yeah. But then they're like, wait, what was the name of that city? Yeah. You know, yeah, so I'm going to give that one to you because I knew you knew it before I got it out. So we'll count that as a win for you, right.

Well, thank you very much, sir. You just remember that. Yeah. But I hit you with the, uh, the woods of kindly. So, you know, you really had no choice. I did. I didn't have a choice. You're right.

If anyone wants to give them gruff, you had no option. All right. Uh, let's go with another one here. Down your wheelhouse. Let's see this. George R.R. Martin helped with this lore for this sword and sorcery title that won What is Eldon Ring, buddy? I know Eldon Ring and I know George R.R. Martin because I read all those books.

I didn't, I knew the 2022 game of the year would probably give it to you. I didn't even need that. All you had to say was George R. Martin. And I instantly knew the only video game that he has like put his name even associated with is Eldon Ring. Okay. See, that to me is a surprise. I didn't, because I'm not familiar too much with Eldon Ring and stuff. So I didn't know that. Yeah, I saw a thing that was like, because it's George R. Martin, like all of the bosses' names start with one of his letters. Oh, really? Yeah. So I'd be honest, I don't, I didn't go through all of them, all the bosses to see. But I mean, there definitely is something to that. Because I mean, you have like Redon and Margit, Morgit, uh, I don't know if there's any. geez, the fire giant maybe?

I don't know, but yeah. Okay, that's a good. Yeah, I, dude, I had no idea when I saw, when I, I was just doing research trying to come up with questions. And I read that and I'm like, what? I was like, well, we'll see, but I shouldn't have known better. Dude, I read, I read the, his books, the song of fire and ice, uh, long before HBO ever picked up Game of Thrones. Oh, okay.

And I, the books are phenomenal. Uh, and it's funny because I remember when Eldon Ring wasn't even like really announced yet. was only a couple leaks. And they said George R.R. Martin is going to help out with the lore on this. And I lost my mind, dude. I was like, oh, my goodness. Like, this is going to be. And then come to find out, he really didn't do anything at all.

And for the record, the lore of Eldon Ring is like the hardest thing in the world to follow. It's like, yeah. That's what I thought was the funniest part. I'm like, there's lore? I'm like, really? Yeah. I know people are going to be like, there's lore. You got to go here and there and find this.

But yeah, coincidentally. enough, I also, speaking about things before they came out and were big, I listened to a podcast about Tiger King before the show came out. Really? You know, no big deal. That show us. Dude, I remember when the world was so wrapped up in Tiger King, man. Damn, Carol Baskin. Yeah. Carol Baskin killed her husband, by the way. She did. Yeah. Yeah, and fed him to a tiger. All right. Ryan, I really, really hope you get this one, Ryan. Gosh, well, check it off now. This attractive sidekick hails from the planet Dathomere and can be seen hurling green

Night Sister magic. I just wanted to let you finish. Who is Marin? Yeah, dude. Who is that sweet, sweet merit? I was like, and Ryan's going to get one of these. This is going to be it. If I want some face tattoos, give me some Marin for sure.

Okay. All right, listen, I know we're getting sidetracked, but face tattoos. Every video game character I ever create, I'm giving face tattoos because they look sick, dude. And I'm like, what kind of hero is going to go save the world, slay dragons, rescue maidens, do all that stuff, and not have face tattoos? This is true. So I'm the same way, but with scars. I'll do the facial scars, the big one across the eye or the big across the cheek. Like, it lets you know they've seen some stuff and they've been in battle.

Like you don't get to be a legendary hero without seeing some stuff, man. And having those scars shows you, you know. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. So Ryan, let me ask you this. Okay. You see a person at Circle K. Okay. They have face tattoos. Do you automatically assume that that person's a hero?

No. See, we're in the real world, not video game world. So I assume that they're a meth head. Sorry, anyone that may have face tattoos that is listening. But that's kind of where I go. Yeah. This is where video games don't transfer to real life. Yeah. Now if you're in a line and you see. cauliflower ear. Oh, you don't mess with that person. You don't mess with that person. I've learned that lesson, man. You look at the ears first.

That's what you, that's what you avoid for sure. Yeah. All right, so isn't me? It's back to you. Okay, let's see here. All right. In this game, there's a war over the Milky Way galaxy between three teams, a human race, an insectoid alien race, and an exiled human race. What is Mass Effect?

Ooh. No? No. Wait, an insectoid Milky Way. Three races, humanoid, insectoid, and exiled human race. I'm trying to think of space games. Exiled human race. I don't know this one.

It is a space game. Well, yeah, because it's the Milky Way. I did guess Mass Effect, and that's wrong. So I'll just go with that, but I don't know the answer to this one. Don't you tell me elite dangerous either because it is. Is it elite dangerous? No, I'm going to be mad at you. It is Starcraft. Oh my goodness. I guess the Zerg are insectoids. That's what threw me. I was thinking like, what is it? You're standing up little mandible things. Okay. That's what they look like. That's fair. That's they are imitating the insectoid right now.

They are. I guess they are, they would be insects, wouldn't they? dude. What are the Zurich considered insects? I mean, they're like biological creatures, but Insectoids. Wait, and the the protas are exiled humans? No, no, no. Those are humanoids. Oh, so the exiled humans are the terrans. Yeah, the terrans. And then, yeah, bro, pay attention. That's fair. That's fair. Okay, you're right. It's been, I will say, it's been a minute since I've played StarCrafts. And honestly, doing that question, like, made me want to play again. I love RTS games so much. All right, Ryan.

Since we're stepping up the difficulty, just a smitch here. Oh, gosh, here we go. I'm going to give you a pretty strong clue. Okay. In Dead Space, this mining tool doubles as a devastating limb-severing weapon. Well, I didn't play Dead Space, so... Wait, you've never played any of the day, like, not the original or the remake? Never played a Dead Space.

Glastomy, I know. But I'm going to go with... Wait, read it to me one more time. Okay, in dead space, this mining tool doubles as a devastating limb severing weapon. A megapick. What is Megapick? I don't know. I feel like that's like a Minecraft weapon.

Dude, I just got the Mega Pig, man. I got the diamond megapick. Did you see? It is the plasma cutter. You are an engineer. You're not a hero. You're not anything. you're just like the janitor. You're not really the janitor.

Like you're an engineer in Dead Space that's aboard this like failing space station where something went horribly, horribly wrong. Okay. And you have this plasma cutter that's basically just like a tool, but you can use it. You wind up using it as like your main weapon. And it's, yeah, it's just a plasma cutter. So it's like, you know, some high tech like blow torch thing basically. But then it can wind up shooting stuff and you just use it throughout the whole game. That's why you end up using.

But it does. It cuts off the limbs. Like you take out the legs for the aliens and stuff that are coming after you. And then they start crawling. Oh, okay. Is that more, so is that game just to get on the game for a second? Is that more like horrorish or what type of? Oh, yeah, dude.

I kind of want to, I kind of want you to play the Dead Space remake because it is fantastic. So public service announcement for anybody that has not played Dead Space, the remake is incredible. And if you like scary atmospheric games, Dead Space is hard to beat, man. And the remake is fantastic. So highly, highly recommend for any. anybody that has not checked that out. Okay. Well, you got me on that one.

Like I said, I know my specific series of games and I didn't play much for like the last 10 years until I joined the podcast. I was a little worried. I couldn't, I didn't know if you had played Dead Space or not. So I was kind of like, this isn't going to be fair to Ryan if he's never played it. That's fine. But mega pick. We got mega pick out of it.

Life. Life ain't fair, brother. We're good. All right. So I got this one. Let's see here. This was the first handheld gaming concept. of this millennium.

Millennium, okay. Oh, my goodness. Well, the Game Boy came later. Wait, no. So this millennium. I don't, a millennium's a thousand years. No, 100 years. A hundred years.

Oh, so we're in the 2000s now. Right? Dude, you're making this hard. I got to do math. I got to know millennium and time frames. I told you I had some date ones and you said, don't take me on a date. So I'm just giving you.

PlayStation portable. The PSP. What is the PSP? Dang it. I know. Are we in the 2000s? That's the millennium, right? It's Game Boy Advanced.

Dang it. I think it was 0-1. Oh, 1 it came out. So it's the This Millennia. The Game Boy Advanced. Now, was it really that advanced. It's got to be. It was pretty advanced.

Did you ever have a Game Boy advanced? Did you ever have a Game Boy advanced? No, I never had a Game Boy or a Game Boy advanced. You never had a Game Boy, it's in general. Really? Now, the advance had the color screen though, right? So, well, they had the Game Boy. Then they had, I think, another one, but then the Game Boy Color.

And the Game Boy Color was the big deal. Because that one was like, it was still like the regular one, but it was a little smaller. I had that. And, well, I had both. I had the original Game Boy, too. But that's when you got the Pokemon games and you could play them like in color. And it was the coolest thing in the world. My parents would go to, you know, church group or whatever else.

and I'd be sitting in the classroom and just in the corner playing Pokemon, you know, all night. I'm like, yeah, we can go, I'll go wherever you want, mom and dad, as long as I can bring this with me. As long as I have this with me. A little 10-year-old Ryan was living life, you know? The Game Boy Advance. Do you know what year it came out? I think it was 01. Yeah, Game Boy Advance was like, right at the start of the millennium, Ryan, a hundred years, period of a hundred years.

No, that's a century. I was a thousand years. I was waiting. I was going to let you linger on that for a while. but yeah. I was like, wait a minute. centuries, 100 years,

millenniums. Now, how long is an epic, Ryan? An epic? Yeah. I don't know the answer, so you could tell me anything. Oh, okay.

432 years. Doesn't it go epic and then era? Or is it era than epic? Dude, I have no idea. You're asking the wrong man. Dude, I don't, I don't,

time is, like we said, time is a man-made construct, brother. Time might be a construct, but it is time for us to take a break, Ryan?

Oh, what a sick. Oh, my God. All right. We'll come right back after this quick break. When you're a mid-sized business, you need every competitive advantage you can get. Like an AI solution that works for you, not against you. SAP Grow is built with AI embedded at its core, working across every system. And it's ready to go from day one so you can hit the ground running. Bring it with SAP Grow.

AI Cloud ERP for any size business. All right, Ryan. It's my turn. after you threw time periods on me and then handheld consoles, the Game Boy advanced. I don't know none of this stuff, man. I have a feeling you're going to get this one. This one, I know is up your alley. But Ryan, this one is actually an audio jeopardy question.

Oh, okay. All right. Okay. Now, I'm going to give you the question and then I'll play the clip. Okay. This quirky character in Resident Evil greets players with this iconic line. What are you buying? Really?

You know this. I know I know this. I know this. I know this. And I, gosh, I can hear his voice in like my soul right now. Oh yeah, because you've heard this, this many, many. I'll do it one more time. This quirky character from Resident Evil greets players with the iconic line. What are you boy?

Oh, man. This is killing me. This is the worst game ever. There may be a context clue in what he says. right. Yeah, I don't, I don't remember, dude. It's the merchant. Oh, just the merchant.

It's just the merchant. It's just the merchant. Who is the merchant? Who is the merchant? Who is the merchant? I mean, he asked you. What do you buy it? What do you boy?

What are you boy? Gosh, darn it. That's, I was, man, because there's so many of those in so many different games. And so some of them have names, some don't. That's darn, that was a good one. See, those, some of those like that are just, they're tricky. they're a little bit tricky. Your brain knows it right away,

but then you're like, wait a minute. You know, it's just the merchant. You know, I'll run to the merchant. Oh, I got to go grab something from the merchant. Bob is actually his name, but. Oh, yeah. Little known fact there that I just made up. Yeah.

Nice. Okay. This one should be a pretty easy one for you, bud. Because I'm going to come back, unlike you gave me. Let's do this. And this online game, You play as a champion to try to destroy opposing teams nexus. Oh, that's League of Legends.

What is League of Legends? I should just ding you for answering wrong. You should. Dang it. It's so hard and I just blurt out the answer, man. You want to. You want to just shoot it out right away. You're like, oh, no, no.

Fun fact, I've played a grand total of about three matches of League of Legends in my life. Really? That is when I discovered I do not like Mobas, man. You want to know how many I played? Zero. You've never? I've never played League of Legends. Did you ever play Dota 2?

Have you ever played any Moba at all? I've played, uh, Deadlock. Deadlock's a Mova. You did play Deadlock. We played Deadlock and I wanted to rage quit like the entire time we played it. Mobas are not my jam.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of it, man. I don't like the paths and the way they all work. It just, it's not for me. I know people love them. My little brother loves Dota and stuff.

And, um, he plays it all the time. but it's just I don't like them. All right, you gave me an easy one, Ryan. I'm going to give you an easy one. This neon soaked dystopia in cyberpunk 277 is known for its towering skyscrapers and crime-ridden streets.

What is Night City? Yeah. That's a gimme. That's a gimme. Well, thank you, bud. I appreciate that. That's what we're looking for. Collaboration.

Ryan's like more of those, please. Please send me more of those, not like specific names, unless it's Skyrum or Red Dead or, you know. All right. Let's see here. Also, you know what? Let me, Knight City. I don't think Cyberpunk gets enough credit for Knight City. Night City is one of the best settings, like the most well done settings in a video game, dude.

They said that they wanted to make that city alive. And just driving around Knight City is bananas, dude. So credit to them for what they built on that. The fact that you can go out to the suburbs and even the desert and the surrounding areas is awesome. But Knight City is a fantastic place, man. Dude, it's so good. And then you see the guys with these mods on and you can't tell sometimes if it's a real video or not. Yeah, you'll see this guy on a motorcycle doing like just, who knows what speed, lane splitting and whipping between cars.

And you're like, oh, my gosh. And then you realize that it's, you know, you read the title and you're like, oh, it's a cyberpunk. but it still, it looks so crisp and clean and good. It's just, it's unreal, man. If any of the listeners have not looked up the realism mods for cyberpunk, just do yourself a favor, go to YouTube and search for that. It is, it's pretty unbelievable, to be honest. Now, I'm pretty sure that these things can only run on a NASA supercomputer.

Yeah. Because I don't know what kind of processing power it takes to make the game look that way, but it's hard to believe that that's actually like real, but it is. Yeah, bro. I only need like four 4090s, you know, to run it. That's all. Sweet. All right.

Let's see here. This deep sea adventure, you must always be on the lookout for the Leviathan. Okay. This is really funny because my next question to you is literally for this game. Was it really? I'm just going to read my question because this is actually really funny because we did not share our questions with each other at all. We did not. We kept them secrets. My question is in this aquatic-based game, you might survive off the water found in a bladder fish.

Ah. The answer is what is subnotica, but that is hilarious that you asked me a subnautica question when my next question to you was the subnautica question. Well, that's what we do, you know? Now, would bladderfish have triggered your memory? 100%. Yeah, because you need them. Like you're looking, oh, you're like, oh, give me that sweet water, man.

I need that fresh water. Bladder fish 100%. Yeah. Where do you get the water from a bladder fish? Do you squeeze it? Is it like a canteen? Like do you just like like right in? Are you bringing it out like a towel?

Well, no, it's probably got a bladder and then you cut the bladder open and it goes, oh, my stomach. Why are you doing this to me? And then you're just like, oh, my water. You're just squeezing his water. He's like, oh, no, I need that to live. You're like, yeah, whatever. You're just squeezing this water out. I like the idea of a towel where you're just wringing it.

Like, it's just the fish and you're just squeezing it out, like water drops trickle out. And then he like, also, we do not condone the squeezing or ringing of fish on this podcast, by the way. If you find an actual bladderfish, let me know, man, because I'd bring that thing out. That'd be cool. My brain might just because, this is so stupid. Here we go. Just because I have played a lot of subnotica. You played subnotica.

Oh, yeah. In my mind, bladderfish water tastes amazing. It's like spring water. You know, because it's just, it's instantly refreshing. So my brain goes like bladderfish water. Oh, yeah, man. That's peak. Like, like from the, the Alps of Lake Minnetonka, you know, like it's, dude, it's, it's the crispest, purest water you're going to find on that planet.

People know. Anybody that's played subnautica knows. That water, pristine, man. You're parched. You need something. Delicious. Oh, my gosh, a bladderfish. Get it.

Imagine, I'm sure the blatterfish population took a big dive, you know, once we started landing on that planet. Just don't tell Nestle that the bladderfish water is delicious. They'll buy up all of them. Right. Okay. Well, that one's good. I'm going to do another little goofy one here for you. This one's for everyone in our Discord.

I'm sure you will immediately get this. No problem at all. This person is Reminent 2's biggest supporter. Oh, it's Jigglepuff right now. No, I'm just kidding. Who is me? Who is me? It was me.

Hey, I will say this. I brought this up. I mentioned Jiglepuff because after years of me Shillen for Remnant 2. Yes. A long standing member. People. Years. Great, great friend of the show.

Awesome member of the community. Jiggle Puff was like, Josh, you finally broke me down. I started Reminent 2. And you know what they said, Ryan? What did they say? Oh my goodness, this game's amazing. And I went, yeah, of course it is. I wouldn't recommend a bad game.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend a bad game to people. Who do you think I am? One day. All right. One day I'll play it. All right. This one might be tough, Ryan. Okay.

This beautiful, detailed city in Disco Elysium serves as the game's primary setting and reflects political turmoil. So what is the city that Disco Elysium takes place in? Dead air, dead air, because I don't know it and I'm thinking. I'll give you a clue. It starts with an R. Rapture. What is Rapture?

No. I'm just kidding. I can't remember, dude. It's Revischall. Revisal. Okay. Now, does that ring a bell or did you like, man, I don't remember that at all? No, that's, okay.

Boop. That's out the memory. Now, you played, now, to be fair, though, you played disco elysium before the voiceover. I did. Where it was all just text. See, I could never. As much as I love disco elysium, if I had to read all that stuff, I would have quit.

Yeah. Yeah. And as sad as that sounds, because it's an amazing game and it's an amazing story. Probably one of the best well-written games in a long time. But yeah, the voiceover is what makes that game to me. If I had to read all that stuff, I think I'd be like, yeah, I'm out. Dude, half an hour in, I was like, oh, am. I'm really going to have to sit here and read this whole thing the whole time? I was like,

nope, see ya. I'm out. See you. As a, as the Simpsons once said, I was brought here to lead, not to read. I don't know if I would have gotten this one. Like my brain says like, oh my goodness, but I don't know that I could have pulled the name of the city out of thin air. Well, it's funny, because when you read it, you're like, yeah, of course. But when you're asked the question, just kind of point blank, your brain just goes, wait a second. And you're trying to draw on your your memory. You're trying to remember what it is and it just goes poof, you know, out that back door. So, geez, that was a good one. What, uh, what was the crazy kid that was annoying and you wanted to kill? Kudu. Yeah. Ding, ding, ding. I remember Kuno. I wanted to punch that kid so

bad. And they were like, you can't punch me. I'll call it cops. Exactly. All right. All right, I got one for you. Let's see here. This character thought he was big boss, but was actually a different code name. Wait, he thought he was big boss. Okay, so this is Metal Gear. Big Boss is the main guy. That's who I played as in Metal Gear Solid 5, but he thought he was big boss, but he was actually a different character. That's the guy that flies into the base and tells me what to do, and I think is my boss occasionally. It kind of has the blonde hair. Looks like the guy from Call of Duty kind of. I have no idea.

Dude, I'll say this. As much as I enjoyed Metal Gear Solid 5, will you talk about games with weird lore and like Elden Ring where it's hard to follow? And it's like, oh, this guy's name is big boss, but really he was Liquid Snig. but really he was first snake, but really he was this guy. And really he's the son of the white Mamba guy that you see in Metal Gear Solid 5 when he's a kid because that guy had the DNA of this guy and then was spawned off as a clone of that guy.

Yeah. And yeah, I don't know. I don't know this one. Well, it's a venom snake is the one. That's what I said. Yeah. Oh, yeah, good job. Yeah.

Yeah. But is there also non-venom snake? Because there are two kinds of snakes, Ryan. Well, it's funny because, you make a good point there because the rest of the whole series there's like solid snake, liquid snake there's solidus, there's

naked snake, there's there's all kinds of snakes, brother. Metal Gear Solid has more snakes than you can freaking imagine, but uh, yeah, I can't follow that lore and I'll be honest. I only played the one game. Yeah, I know. And I think if I had played all of them and it's what's baffling to me is you seem to know this.

Well, here's the deal. It's like I've followed this series since Metal Gear Solid, and then I went back and played like the Metal Gear games on the old systems a little bit, but there's not much to those. But I know a lot about it. And there's so much that I don't know. It's insane to try to follow the actual series of events and the lore and the timeline that actually goes on throughout this whole kind of, it's insane. Like Metal Gear Solid 3, Delta, that they're going to kind of release beginning the next year, first quarter, I think it is. That's the first chronological. of the whole series. So that's where big boss becomes. That's where he becomes big boss. He takes over the code name. And so, yeah, it was, there's so much to it, man. It's wild.

Yeah, I'll just say this. Hideo Kajima is a weird dude. It makes weird games. But also, he makes awesome games, but also he makes weird games. Yeah. And this is like, this is what we were talking about, too. We were talking about it kind of on the side with our thoughts of Dragon Age.

And I totally don't know why I didn't think about this. And I'm going to take a little bit of a minute here for myself to just express this. To understand what you guys felt, the thought of Metal Gear Solid, that series changing the way Dragon Age changed, if they were to do that to Middle Gear Solid to like my series. I would take Metal Gear. Yes. I would be irate. I would be so livid and so frustrated and like, this isn't Metal Gear. This is not what this game is.

This is not what the series is. This is not what it's about. This is not what it's always been for 25, you know, plus years. Like, so I get when I, when I thought of that comparison, I understand where you guys are coming from, especially Paul, who was very, like, loved this series. Like, I get where he's coming from with the Dragon Age kind of beef he's got. Yeah.

I, that's a really good analogy, to be honest with you. Because, yeah, take your beloved Metal Gear. give it a Fortnite skin, you know, and then make it to where you, uh, insult the characters to death or something like that, you know, instead where it just completely changes it. Can't shoot anyone. Yeah. Oh, my goodness, man. All right. All right, Ryan, I, this one, I'm not sure if you're going to get this one or not, but I think the listeners will definitely get this one. Okay, this is an audio one again. This song of friendship was titled Sariah's song and was one of the memorable songs from this game. Here is the song. You know this song. So you're asking me

what game is it from? Yeah, what game is it from? Okay. What is Legend of Zelda? You got to name the one. Oh, which one it's from? Yeah, which game. That's the series. What game is it from? Oh, what is Okerina Time? Yeah. I have always said, it's funny because I was looking for this clip and then I found like a video that's like all the okarina songs and i was just sitting there listening to all of them and i was like oh my goodness my brain remembers like all of these you know and it's been a minute since i have played okarina of time but somehow those tunes are still just in the recesses of my brain and the funny part too is i think it's actually pronounced ocarina pa i think so but you know what he corrects us but it's like paul has a pa had some weird pronunciation things too whatever paul dude yeah we're calling you

brother. Like it's, it's, it's an oak arena. It's because och arena. Yeah, the thing's made out of oak.

Yeah, duh. Duh, hello. You can just change the name. All right, Ryan,

we were starting to run a little low on time. Let's do a couple more each. So pick out your best ones. And we'll do a couple more here. Hmm. Oh, okay.

This game company sold its one billionth game cartridge in 1996. A billion game cartridges. Now, that's got to be who is Atari. What? Is it Nintendo?

It's Nintendo. Dang it. I figured Atari had more time to sell than Nintendo did. Dude, they went, Nintendo went gangbusters, bro. I mean, they did in 96 should have told me something,

but I was just thinking Latari's been around longer. and Atari was like the first like home console so people were snatching it up and that's a good one actually. I think it just got kicked to the waist sides once Nintendo. The popularity of Nintendo cannot be understated. And I knew better than to bet against Nintendo, but man, I just went kind of Atari's been around a long time. Dude. I mean, they had 20 years to sell cartridges. Yeah. Think about that though. One billion. That's a lot of cartridges. That's a lot. You know, how much plastic is that? You know, we talk about recycling, like water bottles and stuff, man. Like, what about your old Nintendo games? Exactly, man. Yeah.

You know, if you're concerned, if you have old Nintendo games, Sega Genesis, you know, Atari, any of those, send them to us. Send them to us. We'll dispose of them properly. We're going to, we're very environmentally conscious. We're going to take care of the world, you know, just that's what we care about. I did, it was funny because I was going to reference that somewhere out there, there's a landfill that is equivalent to, at like Atlantis or like the city of gold where it's just like somewhere in the world. Yeah.

There's a landfill with nothing but Nintendo cartridges. It's like, we must find this place, Ryan. That makes me think of a in Futurama where they found the asteroid of just old trash from Earth. And it's like a bunch of simpson. It's like Simpson's debris and stuff. And it's got Bart on there. And he's like, eat my shorts. Oh my goodness.

That's great, dude. Love it. All right. this one might be a little hard here. This post-apocalyptic game story revolves around a courier who is tracking down a man in a checkered suit who shot them in the Mojave Desert. A couple context clues here, Ryan. I'll read it again. This post-apocalyptic game story revolves around a courier who is tracking down a man in a checkered suit who shot them in the Mojave Desert. Let me ask you this, Ryan.

Okay, please. Which fallout games have you played? I've played New Vegas and then four. So then... What do you remember about this, too? So what is Fallout New Vegas? Yeah, there you go. Yeah, thank you.

Because my brain was like... I'm like post-apocalyptic. I'm like running through all the different. games. I'm like, the man in the checkered suit. He's the one, right? It's here now. It's, it's all here now. It's just like when you're thinking of it, you're like, okay, apocalyptic world. Checkered suit. I'm like, what weird villain was a checkered suit? I'm going into all these weird. I'm like, then I'm like thinking of other characters and other games. I'm like, wait, no, no, apocalyptic and I got to bring it back, you know, my brain goes off in weird, you know, lines. It's all right.

All right. Let's do, I got one more I want to ask because I think it's a fun one. So that'll give you two more total. And then we're going to end this. Okay. I got one here. This character used this phrase called Unrelenting Force to move objects. What were the words?

Oh, it's, oh, man. Oh, baby. No, I know it. Oh, yeah. It's the dos frabar. Oh, no, I can't remember the thing. You're just yelling jibberish, bro. Duce fraba.

It's the child. Did you just say deuce flabla? No, it's nos frabo. Nose frabaugh. Nose frabaugh. Dang it. Oh, what is it, man? Are you ready?

You got to shout it, though. What is? Fus, roda. Roda. Fus Roda. Yeah. I just had to get Fuz first. Dang it.

What is Zuk. Blib. Blis. Blis. dude. Yeah, foos Roda. There you go. That was so fun, dude.

When you got your first shout, you know, and it was like, oh, man, you told, I got the dragon language. Yeah, first you get Fus and you're like, foos. And you're like, oh, that was cool. And then once you get all of them and you've done all your training, then you can just blast stuff everywhere. Yeah. And it had a little, like, a fact where you could see the air kind of shimmer. Yeah, you saw just, oh, yeah. And then you just shot stuff all over the place.

Dude, coming up with that out of the top, like, I knew it was like, I knew this, I knew, I knew, like, the syllables. I knew the consonants, but I could not put the words in the right order. I'm so dumb with SkyRome that even my kids know that for sure, because I always yell like Fus, they all know Fus Rota, you know. That's the main one. Can you name another one, Ryan? As far as- There's a bunch of shouts in that game. All the other shouts.

Well, not all of them, but can you name one other one? I can't, to be honest. You could make something up. I'm trying to, I'm trying to. Fus Rada is the main one. Biggity, bigot, boo, butoo. No, I know, I just know personally that. Once you got dragon rent and you could just drop the dragons out of the air, it was game over.

You could just kill a million. And then I always had the mod where you could carry as much weight as you wanted. So I had so many stinking dragon bones. Like you couldn't just walking around. Yeah, I just would go back. I'd had so much money. Making your own museum of natural history. Pretty much.

All right, Ryan. Now, you have played this game. I don't know if you're going to remember this or not. So we'll find out. Here we go. I got a lot of clues in here. This roguelike co-op multiplayer game allows you to unlock a cast of characters like the Huntress, the Loader, Malti, and the Artifcer.

Do those, any of those ring a bell? Moll T and the Artifacer. Gosh, Artifister. The captain is another one. The, uh, there's the little cyber ninja guy. What's his name? the uh what is um what is uh uh dang it dang i can't even think of the name right now what is it um what is risk of rain what is risk of rain too what is risk of rain too dang it dang it down you

don't get that you didn't get the point i know and you got to be specific i'll take it i didn't get the point uh that um darn it that was a good one because i i haven't had a ton of experience with rogue likes. And so that's what my brain first went to, but I thought you were going to like try to juke me out. But I couldn't remember because I hadn't played it for that long. But darn. Because it is funny.

Doing research for this episode and looking up stuff and then looking up video game Jeopardy stuff, a lot of people miss by saying Zelda and not the legend of Zelda. Oh, yeah. On actual Jeopardy. It was, it's pretty funny. And so like, Dude, that's like Wheel of Fortune, where if they mispronounce, even if they say the word, but they mispronounce like the inflection in it or something, they're like, no, sorry.

They're like, yep, no, no good. Dang it. Oh, man, I'm so mad. You need to be a stickler. Sorry, Ryan, you missed that one. That's fine. All right, you got one last one, buddy. I'm going to get this one too.

I'm ending on a good note. All right. You know what? Since the time seems to be such a hiccup for you. I'm going to ask you another time one. I have, you know I have terrible time memory, right? I can't remember years. I can't remember when things came out.

I don't know what I did last week versus last month, man. My brain doesn't work this way. You're preaching to the choir. That's why I'm giving it to you. Yeah. All right. In this year, Xbox Worldwide was released. The heck is Xbox Worldwide?

Xbox. Is that like, oh, oh, the release of the Xbox. Just release of the Xbox. This is going to prove to people. I have no idea what time. I'm, um, so, so think about it, man. I'm going to, I'm going to say, I'm going to say 2000. What is 2002? Oh, dude, you were was I close. Was it really close? It's 2001. I could I wasn't really. Okay. I'm, I call that

a win. I call it because I was like my brain was like, I don't know, 20, 1993, like somewhere around there. Like I was I was somewhere between like being a kid and an adult. At some point. It is funny. Once you like get past high school or college, or whatever, like time just, it all matches together. Yeah, it starts to blur, man. You know, I had a 15 year window. I was like, there's this point in my life where this thing might have released because I remember playing it.

But, oh, man, yeah, I have no time memory at all, which is really weird. So that's why you were close, though. It was almost 2002. It released in November of 2001. So you were pretty close. All right, Ryan. I said I wasn't keeping score on this one. And I didn't.

But we're going to, we're going to say. you're the winner because I feel like I missed more than you on this one. I don't know. I'm just going to take that I remembered Aldwin. So that's, yeah, I honestly, you started off really, really impressive. And you came up with a subnotica question right as I was about to ask you a subnotica question. Dude, that's hilarious. I knew I had, I was trying to think of games that you'd played that I could like kind of

throw something in just for you. And honestly, getting the, I mean, not that the Okerina time one wasn't an easy one, but you nailed that one too from the song. So for sure. We're giving it to you. Ryan is the Jeopardy champion. Yeah. Now, for anybody that might have enjoyed this episode, besides just me and Ryan, I will say that we have talked about it. And if people liked this episode, we are going to bring

in a third person whose name might rhyme with Fall. Schmal. And they might have said that the next time we do this, that they will host, and it will actually be you and I buzzing in to try to answer the questions first, and we will have a full jeopardy board with categories.
