Episode Vibe & Style

Lighthearted, nerdy, and full of classic Kinda Funny in-jokes and gentle trash talk. The crew’s video game knowledge runs deep but is often undercut by second-guessing, hilarious wrong answers, and the kind of camaraderie fans love. The competitive streak, especially from Greg, pushes the pace and intensity, while Blessing’s hosting delivers a pro-level blend of challenge and encouragement.

---

Listener Takeaway

If you missed this episode: You’ll enjoy a blend of nostalgia (iconic FPS maps, classic game mechanics), competitive trivia (fast rounds, escalating clues), and the trademark Kinda Funny banter. Watch Greg clinch victory with last-minute quick thinking, laugh at the wild guesses (Magic School Bus, anyone?), and pick up some trivia tidbits for your next multiplayer session (“Johnning” in Smash, the mechanics of Subnautica Below Zero, why “13” deserved a better remake).

Don’t miss:

• The zoom-in image rounds for visual game recognition wizards
• The bullet point clue escalation—perfect for testing your own gaming trivia reflexes
• Greg’s last-round clutch with GLaDOS, and ongoing leaderboard drama

Today we up the stakes on our bullet point minigame. Get ready for Game Showdown. Yo, what's up? Welcome to Game Showdown. I'm your host Blessing Adioye Jr. And I'm joined by three contestants representing three teams. We have Snowback Mike representing Team Purple.

[B]

Hello Bless, thanks for having me and shout out to my teammate, Andy Cortez,

[A]

we have champion of season four of game showdown and captain of team orange, Greg Miller.

[E]

Hey, bless. How are you?

[A]

I'm doing well.

[D]

How are you doing?

[E]

I'm good. I'm ready to go.

[A]

I'm very excited for this. And of course, we have a third contestant. And let's have the captain of team blue introduce them.

[B]

It's your boy, Tim Geddes. Once again the leader. I'm not there to compete in the stars in the bank challenge because of course, I'm at home raising my beautiful, cute, adorable little baby girl. But here's the deal. Guess what? I have a champion in my place. This is a man that I've known and respected for many years. The games media industry has loved. Some people would give him a 7.9. Of course, I'm talking about Free Fran Mirabella III. Look at my cute little baby. Look at this baby he got me.

[A]

Fran Mirabella, welcome.

[E]

Hey, Fran.

[A]

To the show. Let's go. I love that little dancing to this.

[D]

Yeah, I gave it a little energy. Tim motivated me. There you go.

[E]

He's got to now.

[A]

Fran, I'm excited to have you on the show because when we were talking about you being on the show, you had a lot of questions. You had a lot. It seemed like you're very curious.

[E]

Fran with questions.

[A]

Fran was very curious about so many elements of the show and how it worked. How are you feeling that now that you're here?

[D]

Look, I don't want to tank anybody's score, but I'm a little nervous. But we'll see. You know, trivia, My brain's all squishy after all these years. So we'll see.

[A]

I was gonna say, I feel like you've been around longer than anybody else I know in games, media space, and

[D]

you would think with most people that would be a strength. And that's my concern. It'll be a week. No, no, we'll see. I'm excited to be on the show.

[A]

This is what the.

[D]

I think the community calls Johnning in Smash Brothers, right? The whole, like making excuses ahead of time. Ah, that's where I'm at.

[A]

See, I feel like that's a piece of trivia that Johnny. I don't know.

[B]

Johnny.

[A]

No, never.

[D]

Hopefully I got that right. All right. All right.

[A]

Well, hopefully you get this right because we're starting with the trivia question worth 10 points and the chance to start off strong. Buzz in to answer contestants. A spin off of survival game subnautica released in 2021 titled subnautica below Zero, alongside returning mechanics such as oxygen, hunger and thirst. Players now have a new gauge which comes into play when walking on land.

[B]

Which measures what Mike bearing the cold, not freezing.

[A]

That is correct. Body heat is what I was looking for. That is 10 points to snow Bike Mike and Team Blessing.

[B]

I'd like you to know that I'm coming today with a new mindset. It's a new season.

[E]

I'm ready.

[B]

I'm putting respect on the show, respect on the competitors, and I'm going to be my very best self.

[A]

All right, well, let's see if that happens.

[B]

Here we go.

[E]

Remember the thing I'd like? You know, I'm still the same bag.

[A]

Hey, being that bag got you the championship last season. So three times. Really?

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Season four, including the Knick.

[E]

The Knick Scarpino season. In season three, I don't know if I. I got a championship. I have a trophy.

[A]

That's fair. That's fair. Remember, this is Game Showdown. Kind of funny is nerdy game show where players. Players compete to earn stars and become champion at the end of the season. This season, you're not competing for the championship. You're competing for the Stars in the bank briefcase. This briefcase right here can be cashed in at any time during the next season of Game Showdown for the opportunity to steal a star from another player, of course. Thank you to our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster and Delaney the Psalm Twining. For now, let's play Geoblesser.

[E]

He gave a squint there like he was gonna fight the producer.

[A]

The rules are simple. I have two rounds of images of various FPS multiplayer maps. That's first person shooter. Tim, if you can identify the game that the map is from, you get 10 points. If you can tell me the name of the map, that is another 10 points. Of course you have your whiteboards. You have a minute to jot down your answers. Are you ready? Ready. Bless.

[D]

So we're not buzzing in?

[A]

You're not buzzing in. They're ready.

[B]

And I'm not going to cheat. I'm not going to look at other people's whiteboards.

[A]

Fran, bring up round one.

[D]

Geocheater.

[A]

So we got four images here. Again, we're looking for the name of the game that these images are from and the name of the map.

[B]

Name of the game, then the map, yes. My apology.

[A]

If you want to write down the game and then in parentheses the map that works. We have four different ones to go

[B]

and you're looking for numbers on certain titles.

[A]

Jot down what you have, and then we'll talk about it.

[B]

Okay, sounds good. Sounds good.

[A]

30 seconds, contestants. And we're looking at four different multiplayer maps. Greg, of course, exclaimed, oh, shit. Or something along those lines. I don't know if he said oh, shit, but he didn't sound crap.

[E]

More than oh, shit. Really?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

He didn't sound happy about this.

[E]

Well, yeah, I mean, it's probably up against these two meatheads. All they do is shoot.

[A]

10 seconds, contestants.

[E]

Wake three in the morning. Clicking heads out there running the spreadsheet.

[A]

Fran does like to click heads, but it looks like Greg's pencil is down. All right, pencils up. Fran, you gotta work faster, buddy.

[D]

I was just scribbling because I'm like. I don't know if there's a penalty for writing anything wrong.

[A]

Was there? No, there's no penalty for writing anything wrong. Of course. I asked you what those four games and maps were. Let's start off with Greg Miller. Greg, what you got for number one?

[E]

It's the one I'm the least confident in. I just put Call of Duty, and I called it town. For two, I put Fortnite, Tilted Towers. For three, I put 007, Goldeneye Facility. And then for four, I put Halo, Blood Gulch.

[A]

All right, Mike, what you got for me?

[B]

Yeah, I followed Greg suit here. I went with Call of Duty and Nuketown. I went with Fortnite and Tilted Towers, goldeneye. I went with Refinery and Halo. I went with Blood Gulch.

[A]

All right, Fran, what you got for me?

[D]

More evidence that I've not prepared.

[B]

And you got this?

[D]

Oh, not at all, dude. So the top one, I did not know, but I just scribbled, left four dead at the end.

[E]

Oh, let's see it.

[D]

But I did do Fortnite for number two, and I just couldn't get to the name. Three, no idea. Four, I went with Halo 2. So I have no map names. All right, you get those answers?

[A]

I got those answers. So going through them, number one, that is Call of Duty Black Ops, and it is Nuketown. Here's the deal.

[E]

Do I get a half point for town?

[A]

You do not get a half point for town. And you guys don't get a point for just saying Call of Duty. I needed at least Black Ops.

[B]

I should have paused before this because I would have given you names and numbers. That's my bad. Yeah, I'm gonna take. I'm gonna take the minus points because I'm playing.

[A]

If you said any Black Ops, I would have taken it. Whether it's Black Ops one through whatever. Because nuketown.

[B]

Can I give you a different number then on this one right now?

[E]

No, no, not for points. No.

[A]

But yeah, Black Ops is the game. Nuketown is the level. Mike, you got one point off of that. Sorry, 10 points off of that. I say number two is Fortnite. It is Tilted Towers. Greg and Mike Both get the 20 points off of that. Number three is GoldenEye 007 facility. Greg Miller gets the 20 points off of that. Mike only gets 10 points off of that. Nice. And then number four is Halo Blood Gulch. And so that is both Greg and Mike. Fran, you still get the 10 points for Halo, though.

[D]

I said Halo, so.

[A]

But it appears in multiple games. Blood Goal appears in multiple games. I would accept it.

[D]

And to double check, I said Fortnite for two. Do I get 10 points for that?

[A]

Yes, you did. You did. You get 10 points for that? Yes.

[D]

20 points.

[A]

Yeah. So overall, train, you got 20 points for that round. Mike got the 70 points for that round. Greg got 60 points for that round. To clarify, Mike got 60. He got the 10 point for the very first question. Oh, thank you for saying that. Yes, Mike got the 10 points of the first question, but that is not it for Geoblesser. We have one more round. So, Barrett, we can go ahead and bring up round two. Multiplayer maps. Can you tell me what they are? We're looking for the same rules here. I'm looking for the name of the game and then also the name of the map. If you can get me both the name of the game and of the map, that will be 20 points. You can get me one or the other. That'll be 10 points. And we have four different options here. 30 seconds left, contestants.

[D]

Game is so hard.

[A]

You know, I had you on this one, friend, because I thought you'd be the expert. I associate you with these kind of games.

[B]

Are these multiplayer maps or just first person shooter maps?

[A]

Multiplayer maps.

[B]

They. Thank you. Thank you.

[A]

Ten seconds left, contestants. I like Roger being curious and peeking over and he's smiling. Roger knows him.

[E]

Oh, yeah? Nothing.

[B]

Give me 10 more seconds.

[A]

Pencils, downs, down pencils. Or I will cut points and be. You know, Barrett's serious. I. I'm crazy cuz he's evil. This year. Let's start off with Fran this time. Oh, God.

[D]

About to be a fully blank. I'm telling you, it's squishy. But, you know, maybe by the end of the episode we'll pick it up. Nothing for one. I recognize it. Couldn't get there two, I went with counter strike. CS 3, 0 at nothing. And then four, I said Duke Nukem.

[A]

All right, Mike, what you got for me?

[B]

I love that I went with Overwatch. Didn't have time to write in the map, so I keep that blank. Number two is Counter Strike and the map is D. Number three is Team Fortress 2 with no map name. And number four, I went with Doom and I wrote Space Station. Went back and forth with Duke Nukem. Maybe an Unreal Tournament. Maybe a Wolfenstein landed on Doom for multiplayer.

[A]

Greg, what you got for me?

[E]

Number one, Watchdogs Legion London. Number two, Medal of Honor, Sand. Number three, Kanan Lynch, Gone fishing. Number four, Doom. Hell.

[A]

All right, so going through them, number one will be Overwatch Kings Row.

[D]

Soon as he said it, Mike got

[A]

10 points off of that. Number two, counter strike. Dust or dust two. That will be 20 points for Mike there 10 points for Fran, because I believe you got Counter Strike. You wrote down CS number three is Team Fortress 2. That'll be 10 points for Mike. Nobody got the name of the map, which is two Fort, Which Roger, did you know that you're Team Fortress guy. Roger did not know.

[E]

He's stupid.

[A]

And then number four is Doom, the map name. I would have taken either E1, M1, or Hangar. It goes by both.

[E]

We take Hell.

[A]

I will not take Hell, unfortunately.

[D]

But Doom.

[A]

Yeah. Yes, Greg did say Doom. So Greg will get 10 points off of that. Mike will get 10 points off of that, and Tran will get 0 points off of that.

[D]

I don't get the 10 points for counter strike.

[A]

No, you got the 10 points for counter Strike. I'm talking about just that for that last round. So, yeah, overall frame, you got 10 points for that round. Mike got 50 points for that round. Greg got 10 points for that round. But we still got a lot more game left because. Barrett. What's the score right now? The score is Team Blue in last place, but maybe they can pick it up in the second half of this game. And it is Fran Marabella III with 30 points in second place. Just. Just not really having it in this mini season of game showdown.

[D]

And, you know, we'll.

[A]

We'll. We'll see where he ends up at the end of this. It is Greg Miller for team orange with 70 points. And in the lead. It is the people's champ. It is Andy Cortez's champ. It is Snow Mike. Mike Howard for team purple with 120 points. But it's still anybody's game.

You finally sit down to game. Just you, your controller and zero responsibilities. When your brain decides that's the perfect time to say what if I'm secretly a terrible person and everyone can see it but me and suddenly relaxing and enjoying yourself is impossible. Instead, your brain grabs onto that thought and will not let it go. Here's the thing. That kind of relentless thought spiral isn't just anxiety. It could also be ocd, a condition that's way too misunderstood and way more common than most people realize. But it doesn't have to be that way. OCD needs ERP or exposure and response prevention, which has proven to be the most effective treatment. And that's where NOCD comes in. NOCD is the world' leading provider of OCD treatment and it's covered by insurance for over 138 million Americans. All of their licensed therapists specialize in ERP therapy. It will help you learn to take the power away from the intrusive thoughts in live face to face virtual sessions. If unwanted thoughts are taking over, don't wait to get help.

[A]

That's nocd.com and now let's play round robin. The rules are simple. Round robin is a pretty straightforward question and answer game about video games. I'll give you a question. You have your buzzers that you use to buzz in and answer said question. However, Round robin today is a special edition. Every round is a round of bullet points. I'm going to read to you details about a game one bullet point at a time. It is your job to buzz in and guess what this game is. For this episode, I'm also adding a new scoring system. Each round has five possible bullet points. I may reveal the earlier you guess the correct answer, the more points you'll receive with 50 being the highest. If you guess the first bullet point, 10 being the lowest. If you guess the last bullet point, bullet point number five. So if you guess the first clue, you'll get 50. At the second clue you get 40 and so on and so forth. You can guess once per bullet point. Contestants, are you ready? Yeah.

[D]

Negative or buzzing?

[A]

No, just that you've used your guess

[D]

for the only way we get one shot per bullet point though.

[B]

Exactly.

[D]

So you can take a shot and you may lose no points.

[A]

100%. And I encourage you to, for, you know, the people who weren't on last week. Bless. Is the 10 second rule still in effect here? The 10 second rule is in effect. So if you buzz in, you only have 10 seconds to. So don't buzz in and then sit on it and think and think and think and think. If you're going to buzz in, make sure you got something loaded.

[E]

How will I know if my 10 seconds are up?

[A]

You just counting your brain. Oh, there it is. Yes.

[B]

That.

[A]

Did we have a fun sound effect. You just counting your brain.

[E]

That was your answer.

[A]

Plus, that's my job. I thought you were talking about like, I'm only.

[E]

I'm only up to nine. I'm only up to nine in my brain right now.

[A]

Just count in your brain.

[D]

We don't want. We don't want Greg counting in his brain.

[A]

Trust me. All right, Are we ready?

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Round number one, our first bullet point. Our 50 point bullet point here. The first interaction the player character has in the game is with an old lady. That's her 50 point bullet point frame.

[D]

Marabella, the Legend of Zelda.

[A]

That is incorrect. I like that guess though. The first interaction the player character has in the game is with an old lady. It looks like Greg. Mike Wolfenstein. That is incorrect and I don't think Greg has it. So we're going to move on to our 40 point bullet point. The player character has the ability to run, jump, climb walls and dash in midair in one of eight directions. Greg Miller.

[E]

Celeste.

[A]

Celeste is the correct answer. That is 40 points progress. Miller. We're gonna move on.

[E]

Oh, but I like Hollow Knight.

[B]

Shut up.

[E]

Play Celeste. You know what I mean?

[A]

I don't know if there's Hollow Knight versus Celeste people.

[E]

They both be jumping.

[B]

They both be jumping.

[A]

Round number two. We're gonna start off with our 50 point bullet point. This game came out the year of the franchise's 10th anniversary. This game came out the year of the franchise's 10th anniversary. You can guess it here. You get 50 points off. RIP Greg Miller.

[E]

Call of Duty Black Ops.

[A]

That is incorrect. Mike.

[B]

Diablo 3.

[A]

That is incorrect. Fran.

[D]

Harry Potter.

[A]

Just the game. Harry Potter.

[B]

That's a great answer.

[D]

Great answer because you said the game came out after its 10th anniversary.

[A]

Yeah, but like you don't have.

[E]

I'm counting in my head. That's longer than 10 seconds.

[A]

That's a specific entry. No, I just. Harry Harry Potter is incorrect. Our 40 point bullet point goes like this. The player character is physically adept and can jump, sprint, climb, swim. Swing and perform other acrobatic actions. The player character is physically adept and can jump, sprint, climb, swim, swing, and perform other acrobatic actions.

[B]

Mike, Tomb Raider anniversary.

[A]

That is incorrect.

[E]

Good guy.

[A]

That's a really good guess, though. Greg.

[E]

Prince of Persia, the Sands of Time.

[A]

That is incorrect. Brand doesn't have a guess.

[D]

Nothing. I just wanted to clarify the question. Made it sound like it was a game coming out after the franchise's 10th anniversary, which potentially meant it wasn't.

[B]

He's got to go a little deeper.

[A]

But anyway, this game came out the year of the franchise's 10th anniversary. Okay, our 30 point bullet point. Roger laughing in the back. The 30 point bullet point reads like this. Roger.

[E]

Roger's killing blush right now.

[A]

The 30 point bullet point. Players use firearms, melee, combat and stealth to defend against the hostile enemies and also drive vehicles during some gameplay segments.

[B]

Give me Uncharted 4.

[A]

Uncharted 4 is incorrect.

[E]

Can I hear it one more time?

[A]

Players use firearms, melee, combat and stealth to defend against hostile enemies and also drive vehicles during some gameplay segments. If nobody has it, we'll move to our 20 point bullet point. Originally, this game was going to release as dlc. Greg Miller.

[E]

Fuck no. It's Uncharted. Chloe and Nadine. Uncharted. I forget the middle of it.

[A]

Mike.

[B]

Uncharted Lost Legacy.

[E]

There it is.

[A]

Uncharted Lost Legacy is the correct answer. That's 20 on the last one.

[E]

I had it where I was like, shit, fuck it.

[D]

It's going to be funny because I KN the name of it. Yeah. Anyway, I think that'd be Uncharted Universe.

[B]

Shout out.

[A]

Yeah, you said Uncharted 4 and I was like, you're right there. You're right there. The last bullet point there would have been that. This game marks the first time Naughty Dog made a fifth game in one of their series. So that was a fun tidbit there. Let's move on to round number three. This is a special super scope round, as I'm calling it. I prepared a screenshot from a video game.

[E]

Love it.

[A]

This screenshot is extremely zoomed in. If you can guess what the game is at its most zoomed in, you'll earn 50 points. If no one can guess, we'll move on to level two, where the screenshot will be slightly zoomed out and worth 40 points. Each level is 10 points less, with level five being the full image reveal. So it's bullet points but with an image.

[E]

Got it.

[B]

A little tip of the hat for creativity.

[A]

This is fun. Barrett, if we can bring up level one. Level one is worth 50 points if you can guess what this game is. Greg Miller. Africa. That is incorrect. Okay. Africa the video game is not.

[E]

You remember the game, though, right? I'm not making this up. PlayStation 3, look it up.

[A]

Oh, really?

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Anybody else have a guess?

[B]

You're going to guess

[A]

Fran Anthem. That is incorrect. Oh, yeah, this is Africa, the video again.

[B]

Oh, wow. My apologies for bothering you.

[E]

It was like vaporware for the longest time.

[A]

Africa spelled with a K. The COVID art is a Zebra for the PS3. Africa known as Hakuna Matata in Hong Kong. That's crazy. Okay, that does it. That's crazy. That's crazy. Who published this? Africa has been referred to as being similar to the Nintendo 64 title, Pokemon Snap.

[E]

Oh, it's a photography game.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah, that's cool. Mike, did you buzz in?

[B]

Yes, I did.

[A]

Sorry. Go for it. I've been talking.

[B]

I'd like to let you talk. I'll go with Halo Reach.

[A]

Halo Reach is incorrect. If we can bring up level two worth 40 points.

[E]

Greg, you're a son of a bitch. Ghost of Tsushima.

[A]

Ghost of Tsushima is the correct answer.

[E]

It was like, I saw it. I knew it. But I was like, is it going to be.

[A]

You can bring up level five. Show them what the actual image is. Was it the smoke that gave it away?

[E]

It was the flowers in the smoke.

[A]

Yeah. Flowers in the smoke.

[E]

There you go.

[A]

Yeah. This is the full screenshot there. That was 40 points for Greg Miller. You have a couple more rounds of this round robin, but Bear, I'll put you on the spot. Can we get a quick score recap? I'd rather not right now. Oh, man. For anything, it's looking dire. With only 30 points for team Blue, Tim Gettys shows great last week, but maybe not so great this week in second place. But just right there, it's a battle between two giants, both spiritually and physically. It is Snowbike. Mike Howard for team purple with 140 points and in the lead. The person no one wants in the lead right now, it is Greg Miller for team Orange with 150 points. But it's still anybody's game. It is anybody's game. Mike, do you have something to say?

[B]

No. Just getting ready for your next announcement.

[A]

You know it is anybody's game because for round four, I hope so. Round four. Points are now double meaning. If you can get it, get the answer. First bullet point. Get 100 points. The last bullet point, 20 points. So, Fran, if you're able to act early here, you might be able to catch up and have a fighting chance here. Please help.

[B]

Question from the audience.

[A]

What's up, Mike?

[B]

Is round for the final round or will you announce this is the final round?

[A]

I'll announce when we're on the final round.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

Round four. Remember, the points are double here. So we're gonna start off with our 100 point bullet point. In this game, you play as the titular character. Mike.

[B]

Mario.

[A]

Is that it? That is incorrect.

[B]

I don't know what titular means.

[E]

Don't tell him, Greg. Bubsy.

[A]

Bubsy is incorrect. Brain. Ribella.

[D]

Banjo Kazooie.

[A]

Banjo Kazooie is incorrect. Move on to our second bullet point worth 80 points. Edge magazine said, quote, this game would have been. Would have been an incredible achievement if the gameplay had matched the outstanding art direction. Mike. Knack Knack is incorrect. I think you do know what titular means, Greg.

[E]

Beautiful Joe.

[A]

Beautiful Joe is incorrect.

[B]

Am I allowed to have a definition?

[E]

No, you're on it.

[A]

But you know what it is.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[A]

If you don't know what it is, then you're doing a good job of guessing. Looks like Fran doesn't have it.

[D]

No free guesses.

[A]

Our third bullet point worth 60 points. This 2003 game.

[E]

Oh, Jesus.

[A]

Received a remake in 2020. Mike.

[B]

2025. Okay, ready? 10 seconds on the clock. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Medieval.

[A]

Medieval is incorrect. Good guess, though. I like that guess. I forgot that got a remake. Greg. Odd World.

[E]

Abe's Odyssey.

[A]

That is incorrect. A lot of good guesses here, though. Brain, you got anything? He does not.

[E]

2001, when was this remake?

[A]

This 2003 game received a remake in 2020.

[E]

Got it.

[D]

Thank you.

[A]

Our 40 point bullet point reads like this. This is a first person shooter based on a 1984 graphic novel series of the same name.

[B]

Mike, who is Duke Nukem?

[A]

Duke Nukem is incorrect. I appreciate you answering. Answering like it's Jeopardy.

[B]

I've been watching a lot of jeopardy lately.

[A]

Dude, Jeopardy's so good.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

Can we get them all again?

[A]

Sure. Starting at the top. In this game, you play as the titular character. Edge magazine said that this game would have. Would have been incredible. Sorry, let me say again, this game would have been an incredible achievement.

[E]

Chronicles of Riddick.

[A]

That is incorrect. If the gameplay had matched the outstanding art direction. Our 60 point bullet point was. This 2003 game received a remake in 2020. And our 40 point bullet point says this is a first person shooter based on a 1984 graphic novel series of the same name.

[E]

Oh no.

[A]

Now Fran, you're only one left who can guess here until we move on to our final bullet point. Do you have anything?

[D]

Wish I had something for you.

[A]

Well then, let's move on to our 20 point bullet point. This game has a single player mode, a multiplayer mode, and a cel shaded art style.

[E]

Oh, fuck.

[A]

Oh, Greg has it.

[E]

I.

[A]

Greg seems to be the only one that has it though. I'm.

[E]

Ah, fuck.

[A]

Greg.

[E]

David Duchovny stars in this game. It was on PS2. I forgot if you said that already, but I can't. Is it Killer seven? Was that the. Is that the one I'm thinking of?

[D]

That wouldn't kill seven?

[E]

I'm locking in.

[A]

Killer seven is incorrect.

[E]

It's a. It's a number, Fran. David Duchovny. Cell shaded, but it's originally cult classic and then the remake sucked. But the title number though. Oh, it's a titular name. Oh, me?

[D]

Yeah, I was thinking of. You're thinking of 13 as well.

[E]

Yes, I am thinking of 13.

[A]

You're right.

[E]

Okay.

[D]

I knew what he was thinking about you. I can answer about what Greg's thinking about.

[E]

You're winning my game show, Frank.

[A]

It sounds like nobody else has House of the Dead. House of the Dead is incorrect.

[E]

Is this a titular question anymore?

[A]

We're on the same one. Yeah, this is still the same one. It sounds like nobody has it.

[B]

You gotta take shots, Fran.

[A]

The answer.

[D]

I have no shot. But I have nothing. I have nothing.

[A]

The answer is 13. 13 was.

[E]

The guy was 13 in the game.

[A]

I believe his name was 13.

[E]

That's a big pile of suck for you, Fran. You should have buzzed in Bear.

[A]

Double check that for me. I'm pretty sure. All right. I didn't pull that out my ass. Yes, you are correct.

[E]

That's why I always wanted to play back in the day. They never did. Yeah, and then when they announced the remake, I was excited. And then it was Trash Fire.

[A]

I remember us covering the like. Because that was like when I first got hired at Kind of funny. So I remember the remake being a piece of news that we would talk about of like. Oh yeah, they announced this for some reason and then it sucks.

[E]

David, you come here.

[A]

Right?

[E]

David Duchov.

[D]

I'm the first person have the right answer and just not submit it.

[A]

No, no, that happens all the time. Yeah, people do that.

[E]

Yeah, I would.

[D]

I mean, I just didn't think it was a match. But next time just.

[B]

Just say something, Fran.

[A]

Crazy Metacritic, by the way. PC a 29 out of 100 metacritic there for the remake of 13. We have one round left, so it's still anybody's game in this final round. Points are still worth double. So we're working off that same scoring system from the last round. And you guys aren't guessing a game, you're guessing a character. We're going to start off with our 100 Point Clue. This character is voiced by actress Ellen McLean. You can get this. You get 100 points. Character is voiced by actress Ellen Mclean.

[E]

John McClane's wife, of course. The die hard joke, everybody.

[D]

I got it.

[E]

Thank you.

[A]

We're going to move down to our 80, Mike.

[B]

Joanna Dark.

[A]

That is incorrect.

[D]

Way to take a shot.

[E]

Oh, yeah, you're right.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

Lara Croft.

[A]

Lara Croft is incorrect. Our 80 point clue. This character later appeared in the lab in Lego dimensions. The laugh aloy. That is incorrect. Roger's making sounds in the back. He got it. This character later appeared in the lab in Lego dimensions. Greg.

[E]

Wild style.

[A]

Wild style is incorrect.

[D]

Mike.

[B]

Ms. Frizzle from the Magic School Bus.

[A]

That is incorrect.

[E]

Shit's the lab.

[A]

Our 60 point clue. This character received multiple awards for being the best new character in 2007 from Game Spy, Game Pro and X Play.

[E]

We're talking about Chell from Portal.

[A]

That is incorrect.

[E]

She's silent, but I thought maybe she grunted or something.

[B]

Was that the full clue?

[A]

That was the full clue, yes.

[B]

Thank you. Just didn't know if you want to

[A]

cut GameSpy, GamePro and Xplay.

[D]

That's a new character in 2007 you

[A]

said this character received multiple awards for being the best new game character in 2007 from GameSpy, GamePro and Xplay 2007. Yes.

[B]

Mike, who is Tiny Tina?

[A]

Tiny Tina is incorrect. I think you're off a little bit there.

[B]

Yeah, I was taking shot. I don't know who.

[E]

You're doing great. You're doing great. You're doing.

[B]

I'm trying my best.

[A]

You weren't that far off. Like Borlands 2, I think would have been. So 2010, 2011, maybe 12. I don't know.

[D]

Years off, but multiple.

[A]

Frank, what's your guess? We're going to move down to our 40 point bullet point, which can still make a difference because remember, Team Purple and Team Orange are only 10 points apart. For 40 points, this character is an antagonist playing against a silent protagonist. Greg.

[E]

GLaDOS.

[A]

GLaDOS is the correct answer.

[E]

I should have thought it through a bit more I should have thought it through a bit more before I pounded.

[A]

Does seal the victory for Greg Miller. But can we get a score? The score recap. All we can really do for last place is just thanking him for showing up today. It is friend Maribella the third with 30 points for Team Blue in second place. But well fought. Keeping up the theme of always the bridesmaid, never the bride, it is Snowbike Mike Howard for team Purple with 140 points. And the winner for today's game Showdown, it is one Gregory James Miller for the Evil Team Orange with 190 points. Beard. We can bring up the star standings because of course, coming into this episode, Team blue was in the lead with just one star. But at the end of this episode, episode two, Team Orange has earned themselves their first star of the the season, making this a tie for first place so far in this little mini season of game showdown. Competing for the stars in the bank briefcase. A little bit of homework for you at home. Let me know what you thought of that bullet points game. And then also the game that we played last week, which was the round robin that I made that I'm already forgetting blank and what we did. Do you guys remember? We did Messy mashup. Thank you, Roger. Let me know what you thought of that version of messy matchup because if you guys like them, maybe they make returns as full games tease. But let me know. We're workshopping. We're testing things out, of course. Congratulations to Greg. You've earned yourself a star.

[E]

Thank you.

[A]

Yeah, Fran, if you can hand that to to Greg right there.

[D]

I'd rather not, but thank you.

[E]

Fran.

[A]

That bad the whole time?

[E]

Too bad. Too bad, Fran.

[A]

Of course. This has been another episode of Game Showdown, your nerdy trivia show. We'll be back next week with another episode, but until next time, it's been our pleasure to serve you.
