Blessing Adeoye Jr. (34:35):

"Andy says 72. The Metacritic for Far Cry 4 is 75. Two points off there, but you still get the 20 points for the round."

Of course.

[Gary Whitta]

In a mood has in a mood.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

We're going to start off the show with a trivia question worth 10 points and the chance to start off strong. Contestants buzz in to answer which of the following is not a Cabela franchise game. Excuse me.

[Andy Cortez]

I'm good at these games.

Which of the following is not a. Cabela. Cabela. Camila. Cabela franchise game. Is it? A, Cabela's Big Game hunter. B Cabela's 4x4 off road adventure. C, Cabela's Bucks in the Wild.

[Gary Whitta]

Cabela Danger.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

For now, let's play MAD Categories. More of a Cabela Anderson.

[Gary Whitta]

Yes. Ah, yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

The rules are simple. A handful of games are gonna be listed. It is your job to write down which category you think the game belongs in. We're gonna go one game at a time through a list of 10 games and you get 20 points for each correct guess. Now, usually I host mad categories, but today I wanna bring on a special guest. Welcome to the stage Gary Whitta. Gary for some reason wasn't expecting his.

[Gary Whitta]

Name to be called and Roger had no idea. He said, oh, Gary, welcome to the.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Show for the first time.

[Greg Miller]

Thank you for having me, of course.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Now, do you want to explain what you're doing today? What are the categories we're talking about?

[Greg Miller]

This is an idea that I pitched Greg and he said, oh, you should pitch that to Blessing. This would be perfect for Game Showdown. So I have taken some stick in the past for referencing, you know, I obviously grew up in the uk, which slightly you guys like Nintendo and Sega. We were more like Commodore 64 and Spectrum and stuff like that. And so lots of weird British computer games were made for the eight bit market in the UK in the 1980s and some of them have very silly names. And occasionally when I've referenced the game and Greg's gone, what? That's not a real game. So what I've done is I've come up with the names of 10 games that were British computer games that were made in the 1980s. I'm going to read them out to you and your task is to tell me if that's the name of a real game or if I have made it up and we have 10 of them. And also I brought a special prize. The winner of this round will win a packet of McViddy's chocolate Hobnobs, which, as any British people in the chat will tell you is absolutely the God emperor of malted oat based chocolate biscuits.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

All right, now it says in big letters, ho ho hoes.

[Greg Miller]

Well, because this is. This is for this. This. I got these over over the Christmas holiday.

[Gary Whitta]

Oh.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

So look at these.

[Greg Miller]

But they're regular.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

They are just regular.

[Greg Miller]

If you never had a chocolate hobnob, my goodness, you're in for.

[Gary Whitta]

They celebrate Christmas in September.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Wow. Wow. It's because they're further in the future or in the past or is next September is the thing.

[Greg Miller]

So now do you want me to. As they. As they predict these true or false, do you want me to tell you if they're real or fake as we go, or do.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

We're going to. We're going to do it as we go.

[Greg Miller]

Okay.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

As we go. And what they're going to do is they're going to write down the answers and then we'll reveal and then you'll tell us what the right answer is.

[Greg Miller]

Correct.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

So again, you can write down.

[Greg Miller]

I guess you're going to say real or fake is what you're going to write down.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'm going to say write down real or fake. Contestants, are you ready?

[Gary Whitta]

Ready.

[Andy Cortez]

Ready.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Gary, what's number one?

[Greg Miller]

I'm just going to read off.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, you can read off.

[Greg Miller]

Okay. Number one. Fatworm blows a sparky. Fat worm blows a sparky. Is that a real game or have I made that up?

[Andy Cortez]

That's a cool random.

[Snow Bike Mike]

It has to be real. You know, I love this because I.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Don'T know the answers. I have no idea. Fat worm blows a sparky. Contestants have their answers written down. Tim, what you got?

[Snow Bike Mike]

I'm going real, baby.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Tim says real. Andy, fake. And he says fake. Mike, I've spent a lot of time.

[Andy Cortez]

With Gary Whitta and I know that this game is real.

[Gary Whitta]

Oh, damn.

[Greg Miller]

It's a real game.

[Andy Cortez]

Damn.

[Snow Bike Mike]

That's a real game. What the hell is the game?

[Andy Cortez]

I've seen it.

[Greg Miller]

I don't know if they're going to put it on the screen, but I actually provided box art for all of the real games to prove that they are in fact real.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, my God.

[Greg Miller]

There you go. So there's fatworm blows a Sparky.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I love that. Of course it Sounds like a code.

[Gary Whitta]

Thing in the military.

[Greg Miller]

For the Sinclair ZX Spectra, Mike and Tim Broken Arrow.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Mike and Tim both get 20 points there. Again, correct answers in this round get you 20 points.

[Gary Whitta]

Fat Worm just blew a spark Control.

[Greg Miller]

Fat worm has blown a Sparky. Repeat, flat worm has blown a sparky. All right, ready for number two?

[Gary Whitta]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Sacred Armor of Anterior. Sacred Armor of Anterior.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I like that. Again, contestants are writing down real or fake or fake. For each correct answer, they will get 20.

[Greg Miller]

Unless you don't have the chat available. So they can't cheat off the chat.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Exactly. Yeah. We keep that care.

[Greg Miller]

That's how it should be.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

All right, let's start with Mike this time.

[Andy Cortez]

Gary Whitter. That's too many words. That's fake.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Mike says fake. Andy.

[Gary Whitta]

Sacred Armor of Anterior. And Fat worm blows a Sparky. Less words in the first one.

[Andy Cortez]

Too many words.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Andy says fake.

[Greg Miller]

Everyone said fake.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Everybody said fake.

[Greg Miller]

That's a real game.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That is a real game. Nobody gets points for that round. Sacred Armor of Antiriad.

[Greg Miller]

Yes.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Here is the box art.

[Gary Whitta]

Yep.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

What was this on?

[Greg Miller]

It was on. I believe it was on all. It was on Commodore 64, Spectrum, and Amstrad. I believe all three. I love major platforms at the time.

[Gary Whitta]

I love that Anthrax font for anterior.

[Greg Miller]

This was a very metal game.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Now, were you playing these games back in the day?

[Greg Miller]

I've played most of these. Not all of them.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Wow.

[Greg Miller]

Obviously, the fake ones I haven't played.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, all right. All right.

[Greg Miller]

I wish I could.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Round number three.

[Greg Miller]

Are you ready for number three? Horace goes skiing. Horace goes skiing.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Again. I love this because now I can comment since I don't know the answers. Horus does sound like a British name. They would be naming their kids that over now.

[Andy Cortez]

He'd be skiing.

[Gary Whitta]

You also heard of who?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

He did hear a who. Yeah, Horace heard a who. Let's start off with Andy Cortez this time. Fake Andy says fake. Mike.

[Andy Cortez]

[Snow Bike Mike]

Spicing it up. Real, baby.

[Greg Miller]

That's a real game.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Points for Tim right there.

[Greg Miller]

And there's the box art.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Oh, man.

[Greg Miller]

For the ZX Spectrum.

[Gary Whitta]

Who is that?

[Snow Bike Mike]

That's Horace.

[Greg Miller]

And he's skiing.

[Gary Whitta]

But what's happening on his chest?

[Greg Miller]

This is actually the sequel. He's just a face and a pair of legs. This was. This was the sequel to a game called Hu Hungry Horace. Horace Go Skiing was the follow up.

[Snow Bike Mike]

That's sick.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

This is what happens when you don't see the sun. This is the kind of art you Make. Are you ready?

[Greg Miller]

Are you ready for number four?

[Snow Bike Mike]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Let's give us number four.

[Greg Miller]

Number four. Everyone's a Wally. Everyone's a Wally.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Is that a real British game or is it fake? Andy's having second thoughts. We're going to start off with Tim Gettys.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Real.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Tim is saying real Andy. Real Andy saying real Mike.

[Andy Cortez]

I will say that is fake.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Mike is saying fake.

[Greg Miller]

It's a real game.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Yes.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

They're points for Andy.

[Greg Miller]

And there is Everyone's a Wally. Look at the box art we had back then.

[Gary Whitta]

God damn.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Gosh.

[Greg Miller]

And on the other side of the tape, you actually could play a musical single that was released that was also called Everyone's a Wally.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And you had the subtitle there.

[Greg Miller]

A Day in the Life of Wally. Yeah, this was. There was actually a whole series of these games.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, let's get. Did you play this one?

[Greg Miller]

I. I did play Everyone's a Wally. Yes.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

What is this game?

[Gary Whitta]

Yeah. Is this your version of, like, Ernest Goes to Camp?

[Greg Miller]

I mean, it's. You kind of play these different members of this. Of this family, and it's like a little platform game and you go around and I don't know, it was an eight bit game. You can find YouTube videos of all of these if you decide you want to, you know, investigate them. Honestly, it's not worth it, but. Okay. So how are we doing after. After four rounds? I don't know. Do you want to check in on this?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I mean, yeah, Bear, do you want to give the scores after four rounds?

[Greg Miller]

Why don't we go after five?

[Barrett Courtney]

Right now the score is.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, that didn't turn on for some reason.

[Barrett Courtney]

Let's go here right now. In last place, it is Snowbike. Mike Howard playing for team blue with 20 points, just a little bit ahead of him. It is one nitro rifle. Andy Cortez with 30 points and running away with it right now. Can he keep it up? It is one Timothafucking Gettys for Team Orange with 60 points, but it's still.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Anybody'S game so far. This is confirming my theory that Tim just has it.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Thank you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Because every now and then people will hit me up and be like, bless, you're giving too many Nintendo questions to Tim. Bless you're letting Tim blade this up. We're doing British video games. Tim is somehow finding himself in the lead once again.

[Snow Bike Mike]

20 points is a lot of points.

[Greg Miller]

Is a lot for games he does. Ready for number five?

[Snow Bike Mike]

Oh, yes, I am.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Give it to us.

[Greg Miller]

Rockstar ate my hamster. Rockstar ate my Hamster.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Is that a real game or a fake British game? Testants are riding down.

[Gary Whitta]

You know, you're going. You're kind of thinking about. The theme is like, are these all just going to be real?

[Snow Bike Mike]

There's the metagame going on. Andy, I'm right there with you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

All right, let's start with Mike.

[Andy Cortez]

I wrote down fake because I'm hoping that they're not all real.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Andy.

[Gary Whitta]

I wrote down fake as well, because we got to put a line somewhere.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Tim.

[Snow Bike Mike]

I don't think the line's here yet, guys. I'm going real.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Gary.

[Greg Miller]

That's a real game.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's a real game. Timor points.

[Gary Whitta]

Is that Michael Jackson?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, I was gonna say, is that Michael Jackson?

[Greg Miller]

Yes.

[Gary Whitta]

I think it's supposed to be Codemaster.

[Greg Miller]

Courtesy of Codemasters, who, of course, went on to do the. The Colin McRae rally games and a whole bunch of. Yeah, Code Masters, I think.

[Gary Whitta]

Still going strong where they cut their teeth.

[Snow Bike Mike]

How come hamster has a P sometimes and doesn't other times? Is that a British thing?

[Gary Whitta]

Hamster's never had a pee.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Really?

[Gary Whitta]

Do you want.

[Greg Miller]

Do you want to know the. The. The. The story behind that? So that was actually. That was actually a real news headline. There was. It was. It was. There was a. There was a British comedian back in the day called Freddy Starr. And the headline on the front page of the newspaper was, freddie Star ate my hamster. And we never got to the bottom whether or not Freddy Star.

[Gary Whitta]

They just made someone's.

[Greg Miller]

And then there was a game called Rockstar 8 minutes. It was kind of based on that. So, yeah, they've actually. Yeah, they have all been real so far. So the question is, am I pulling some kind of meta trick on you and they're all real, or are there, in fact some fake ones in here?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Well, let's see.

[Greg Miller]

Number seven, are you ready for number six? Yes.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, sorry. Number six. Yes.

[Greg Miller]

Collins Wiggly Day Out.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Oh, Jesus, man.

[Greg Miller]

Collins Wiggly Day Out. I know. This one's causing Tim so much consternation.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Just so much, man. This boy just beat Wiggly Out.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I love this, but I really don't know. Cause I'm with you guys. Is he pulling a fast one on us? On you guys? We'll have to see. Starting with Andy Cortez. Fake.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Andy says fake. Tim.

[Snow Bike Mike]

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Tim is going real. Mike.

[Andy Cortez]

I hate that I wrote down fake. Cause it's gonna be real. Just like.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, no, that one is fake.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

There you go. There you go. That is 20 points for Stoic Mike with team Blue and Andy with team Purple, allowing them to catch up a little bit to Tim. Getes round number seven.

[Greg Miller]

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Andy says real Mike.

[Andy Cortez]

[Greg Miller]

You're all correct. It's a real game. And there was a Chubby Gristle, too, also.

Oh, my God. Is gristle like a sling for cops?

[Snow Bike Mike]

It's bacon.

[Gary Whitta]

Oh, yeah.

[Greg Miller]

He was basically an overweight parking. A parking guy. Your job was to go around giving people parking tickets again.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

This is what happens when you don't see the sun. It is cloudy and cold, and they're like, oh, no, man. Make a game where you give out parking tickets.

[Gary Whitta]

Who ate a hamster?

[Greg Miller]

All right, are you ready for number eight?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I love that. Because I thought for a second, I thought I forgot a line break there.

[Greg Miller]

My name is Uncle Groucho. You win a fat cigar.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

There is a comma after Groucho. Just for. Just for instance. Here's more context. My name is Uncle Groucho, comma, you win a fat cigar.

[Gary Whitta]

I would have loved to have heard of one of these. You know, like, Mike had the first one.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

All right, let's start off with Snow Mike. Mike.

[Andy Cortez]

Andy says real Tim.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Real train. Choo Choo Gary.

[Greg Miller]

It's a real game.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yes. That is 20 points for Andy and Tim.

[Andy Cortez]

Who is the friend with it?

[Andy Cortez]

He's got Frankenstein at the bottom.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Also, who's this lady at the bottom? What's going on here?

[Snow Bike Mike]

I. I couldn't tell you Something sleazy about the pink thing. That just reminds me, this is one.

[Greg Miller]

That I never played. Yeah, that's pie, man. So pie actually a pretty popular game mascot in the 80s. This is. This is what. This is what I grew up on.

[Gary Whitta]

I don't Believe you, everybody loves a lot.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But like, was he like, could anybody use pie man? Put them in their properties?

[Greg Miller]

Like, no, no, no. He was like, yeah, fully proprietary. That was a piece of ip.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

All right. Number nine.

[Greg Miller]

Number nine. Eric and the floaters. Eric and the floaters.

[Gary Whitta]

There's a part of me, it's like, it's not weird enough.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Is the thing of I go down the rabbit hole of like British slang and like, do they be saying that over there? Like, what is a floater?

[Snow Bike Mike]

Poop.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Cuz like, I think poop or I think like, you know, like people named Eric over there.

[Gary Whitta]

Dead body.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, they for sure got Eric's over there. You kidding me?

[Greg Miller]

There you go. Eric Idle.

[Gary Whitta]

Yeah, of course.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Everybody knows Eric. Kyla. Yeah, you know, you know Eric Clapton.

[Greg Miller]

I forget that I'm often here in a fucking crash. Babies. Children.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Ready for this?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Let's start off with Andy. Fake Andy says fake. Mike.

[Andy Cortez]

Real.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Tim going down with it. Real.

[Greg Miller]

It's a real game.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Yes.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

20 points for Mike and for Tim.

[Greg Miller]

Eric and the floaters.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, wait, the Doom cover. I still don't know what. Everyone's looking at this.

[Snow Bike Mike]

This looks like a choose your own adventure book.

[Greg Miller]

Look at that artwork, man. They really just let anybody best box off.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Also is Kuma msx, the developer.

[Greg Miller]

Kuma is the. Is the publisher and Ms. Is the format. It was on the MSX was a.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I like that they have like, their names front and center more than the title of the game on the box art. Good for them.

[Gary Whitta]

It's like what I always thought about books back in the day when I was a kid. I was like, man, there's a lot of books named.

[Greg Miller]

It may have been called.

[Gary Whitta]

It was just like the author putting their name really large on it, you know?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

All right.

[Greg Miller]

The first metal gear game, MSX, before it was even on NES.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

All right, round 10.

[Greg Miller]

This is our final, final one. Real or fake. Grumpy Gumphrey Super Sleuth. Grumpy Gum Free Super Sleuth. I always, like Tim has like a.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Visceral reaction every time he sent me Gary. Because here's the thing. It's either real and someone else came up with it, or it's fake and you came up with it.

[Greg Miller]

Somebody came up with it. Grumpy Gumfrey Super Sleuth.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

If this is real, I gotta play this game. I gotta play this. This sounds fun.

[Gary Whitta]

It sounds too good.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

All right, let's start with Tim.

[Andy Cortez]

Just ride it, Tim.

[Snow Bike Mike]

I'm riding.

[Greg Miller]

We're going real, you know, riding the lightning.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Andy. I wrote Fake Andy says fake Mike. Hopefully this one's fake, Gary.

[Greg Miller]

It's real.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

So good. Of all 10, only one was fake. Yeah, because the real ones were just so good, I couldn't not use them.

[Snow Bike Mike]

There's.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I love Collins.

[Greg Miller]

Collins. Wiggly Day out was the only one. I made up.

[Gary Whitta]

This one, this.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Because I would have loved to see the box art for that one.

[Gary Whitta]

The thing is, this is the only.

[Greg Miller]

I could probably draw it for you in five seconds. It'd be as good as any.

[Gary Whitta]

Of all 10 of them, this one sounds the most convincing.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, he was like. He was a. Like a store detective. He was like a loss prevention guy.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But then what's.

[Greg Miller]

And your job is to go around and basically catch shoplifters.

[Snow Bike Mike]

There's two of them in there, you.

[Greg Miller]

See, but he's not catching that one. Yeah, he's bad because he's like Mr. Magoo. So he's got a bad eyesight.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, my goodness.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Well, Barrett, now that we're at the end of the round, I feel like.

[Greg Miller]

Tim crushed it that round. Right.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I know Tim crushed it.

[Snow Bike Mike]

I'm happy about this.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Barrett, what's the score? Just a second. We put a new thing in the.

[Barrett Courtney]

Computer right now at the end of our first game for today. The scores are one snowbike Mike Howard playing for Team Blue instead of one. Greg Miller with 80 points. Did Greg choose the wrong person to take his place this week? We'll have to wait and see. In second place, still just 10 points ahead, is Andy the Nitro Rifle Cortez for team purple with 90 points and still in the lead. Is he secretly British? It's Tim Gettys for team Orange with 160 points, but it's still anybody's game.

[Snow Bike Mike]

I own the Commodore 64.

[Gary Whitta]

You get the Hobnobs.

[Andy Cortez]

Share those with me.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Oh, I'm so excited about this. I'm hop knob right now, I'm telling you.

[Greg Miller]

Have you never had a Hobnob, Tim?

[Snow Bike Mike]

I think you've given me one before in like 2015.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, maybe so.

[Snow Bike Mike]

I don't remember.

[Greg Miller]

There's no way that I've known you this long and never offered you a hobnob.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Wow.

[Greg Miller]

That would be very unbritish of me.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Well, Gary, thank you so much for this.

[Greg Miller]

Thanks for having me. I'm glad we. We found a place for this, for this idea. And like I said, there's no shortage of these. So if you ever want to do another British 80s video, I'll happily come up.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, we might have to do this once every season. And so I'll keep you in mind of course, if you want to continue to support Not a fan Mike no.

[Andy Cortez]

No, it's very good. It's like very good.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You guys the Hobnob.

[Gary Whitta]

Yeah, thumbs up.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Thumbs up.

[Gary Whitta]

I think it's the Milano is the name of the cookie in the the pepper farm.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Like a bags.

[Gary Whitta]

I think it's those.

[Andy Cortez]

I'm gonna shove a lot of hob knobs in my mouth today.

[Gary Whitta]

Yeah, sure you are.

[Andy Cortez]

Give me more of those.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I want some more too.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Pop it up.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, I'm gonna have some of those after the show, though not right now because of course we're on to our next game. Let's play Critical Hit.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Thank you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Critical Hit. The rules are simple. This is a game about video game reviews. I'm going to read to you review blurbs about a game and it is up to you to buzz in and guess the game based on the review. Each round has three different blurbs for the same game. The earlier you guess a game, the more points you'll receive with a max of 30 points per round. Bless you.

[Barrett Courtney]

Got a Hobnob run Hobnob, Hobnob right down the rock. It sounded like you screamed the Hobnob Grub.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But you only have one guess per blurb. So let me say that again. You can get a max of 30 points per round, but you only have one guess per blurb. The add on here is that if you get the game right, you have the chance to guess the exact Metacritic score of the game for a Critical Hit to double your points for the round. Contestants, are you ready?

[Snow Bike Mike]

Yes.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'm going to assume that means I'm very ready. Let's start off with round one. Remember, we have three blurbs per game. The earlier you guess, the more points you receive. Round one first blurb comes from Game Informer, who gave this game a 6 out of 10 and said in the 5 hours it took to complete this game, I experienced a whirlwind of excitement and disgust. I loved the sights, sounds and basic combat and loathed the finishers in gameplay deviations. Andy Cortez Scorn. Scorn is incorrect. If Mike and Tim don't have a buzz, I'm gonna move on to blurb, Tim.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Mortal Kombat Mythology Age of Sub Zero.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Tim says Mortal Kombat Mythology's Age of Sub Zero. That is incorrect. Yeah, I like that guess though. I shall pass. We're going to move on then to the second blurb. This one comes from GameSpot, who gave this game a 5 out of 10 and says this game is a repetitive and tedious homage to the gruesome battle showcased in the film 300. This game is a repetitive and tedious homage to the gruesome battle showcased in the film 300. Tim Gettys Rise Tim Getty says Rise. Rise Son of Rome is the correct answer. That is 20 points this round for Tim. Tim, you can double that if you can tell me the exact Metacritic of Rye Son of Rome.

[Snow Bike Mike]

I am shocked. It's like we're talking fives. Like I didn't realize it was down bad like that. I'm gonna go.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Be five, Tim says 1555. The Xbox One Metacritic of Rise Son of Rome is 60 60. Not too far off, but not close enough. Let's move on to round number two. The first blurb is from Official Xbox Magazine who gave this game an 8 out of 10 and says it's a savage game. The only thing more violent than the than the damage inflicted on the main character is the rapid and nonchalant dismember. Dismemberment? Who's that, Mike?

[Andy Cortez]

Tomb Raider.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Tomb Raider is incorrect. Is the rapid and nonchalant dismemberment of everyone he comes into contact with. Again, to repeat that. It's a savage game. The only thing more violent than the damage inflicted on the main character. Tim. Metal Gear Rising Revengeance Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is incorrect. The only thing more violent than the damage inflicted on the main character is the rapid and nonchalant dismemberment of everyone he comes into contact with. Andy, you're the only one left with a possible buzz in here.

[Gary Whitta]

Pass.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And he's gonna pass our next blurb. GameSpot gave this game a 7 out of 10 and says it may be derivative, a cakewalk, and at times buggy, but the sheer visceral impact of the over the top violence in this game is enough to make it a fun action game as well as one of the better movie tie ins released recently. Contestants are thinking real hard. Yeah, I can see like the like the steam radiating.

[Gary Whitta]

I don't know how recently, you know.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

If nobody has a guess, I'll move on to the third and final blurb for this game. Andy.

[Gary Whitta]

X Men Origins Wolverine X Men.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Origins Wolverine is the correct job answer.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Now Andy, that'll give you 20 points, but you can double that if you can tell me the exact Xbox360 metacritic of this game.

[Gary Whitta]

72.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Andy says 72. The metacritic for X Men Origins Wolverine on Xbox 360 is 75. 75. Only three points off there. Let's move on to round number three. The first blurb is from US Gamer who gave this game a nine out of ten and says while the game's roots as a DLC are still showing, this studio has put together an amazing game from a wide variety of sources. If you're on the same mental wavelength, this game is a class act. While this game's roots as a DLC are still showing, this studio has put together an amazing game from a wide variety of sources. If you're on the same mental wavelength, this game is a class act.

[Snow Bike Mike]

What could that possibly be?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

If nobody has a guess, we'll move on to the second blurb from Games Radar who gave this game an 8 out of 10 and says unsurprisingly goofy, but it also just happens to be one of the greatest superhero games ever made. Unsurprisingly goofy, but it also just happens to be one of the greatest superhero games ever made.

[Gary Whitta]

Oh my God.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Hit it with it Mike.

[Tim Gettys]

Go for it.

[Andy Cortez]

I mean, I'll just start throwing things out.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Mike.

[Andy Cortez]

Batman, Arkham Origins.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Mike says Batman, Arkham Origins. That is incorrect. Ah, Andy or Tim don't have a guess. I'll move to the third and final blurb for this game which comes from IGN who gave this game a 7.3 out of 10 and says with its recycled map and wildly overpowered abilities, playing this game feels a lot like enabling godlike cheat codes in the previous game and going nuts. Its ridiculous story, goofy characters, self aware humor. Andy.

[Gary Whitta]

Um. Crackdown.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Crackdown is incorrect.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Mike.

[Andy Cortez]

Saints Row. Get outta hell.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Saints Row Got outta hell is incorrect. Fuck you.

[Barrett Courtney]

Fuck you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It's a ridiculous story. Goofy characters, self aware humor and amazing character editor makes it all work. Tim, you're the only one left who can guess for this one.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Oh man. South Park. Fractured Butthole.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

South Park. The fractured butthole is incorrect meaning none of you guys get the points for this one. Mike.

[Andy Cortez]

I know.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Don't even start. Mike. Saints Row 4 is the answer. Get out of hell. How did you get there?

[Barrett Courtney]

This is the DLC part, you know.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Because Saints Row 4 started off as a DLC, they then spun it into a full superhero game.

[Gary Whitta]

Now here's the thing. Like what if. Imagine if we saw the questions on the screen.

[Barrett Courtney]

That's a lot of words on his screen.

[Andy Cortez]

He's cooking, he's thinking about that many.

[Greg Miller]

Words on a screen.

[Barrett Courtney]

My eyes are going to start glazing over, you know, I just need to.

[Gary Whitta]

See the words, you know, and it will help.

[Greg Miller]

It'll help you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And yeah, Andy will make all the Blur to be on the game show then Saints for In case you were wondering, the PC Metacritic of that would have been in 86. Let's move on for the to the fourth round for Critical Hit. This first blurb comes from IGN, who gave this game an 8.5 out of 10 and says visual variety, tons of distinct side quests, and a dense world with plenty of options always gave me something I wanted to do. And its satisfying economy had me obsessing over completing every side quest.

[Andy Cortez]

Mike Baldur's Gate 3.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Baldur's Gate 3 is incorrect. Andy.

[Gary Whitta]

World of Warcraft.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

World of Warcraft is incorrect.

[Snow Bike Mike]

We can move on.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

We're gonna move on to the second blurb from Edge magazine who gave this game a 9 out of 10 and says the previous game asked for the definition of insanity and this sequel answers it. Andy.

[Gary Whitta]

Far Cry 4.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Far Cry 4 is the correct answer.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Good job.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That is 20 points for Andy with the chance to double it. Andy, can you tell me what the Metacritic is For Far Cry 4? The PS4. Metacritic.

[Gary Whitta]

PS4. Metacritic for Far Cry 4.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And for context, I'm always pulling the most popular Metacritic, the console that got the most reviews.

[Gary Whitta]

83.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And he says 83. The exact metacritic of Far Cry 4 is 85. Two points off there, but you still get the 20 points for the round, which is going to be good because we're out of the main portion of Critical Hit and into the bonus round. Metascore Mayhem. I'm going to put five different games on the screen. I provided you each with whiteboards. I want you to organize these games from top to bottom based on what you think the metascore is. For every correct spot, you'll get a whopping 20 points. The twist? If any of you get all five games correct, the game ends and we dish out scores as is. However, if no one gets all five correct, I'll tell you each how many games you have in the right positions and give you each one chance to change your answers. I won't tell you which games you have in the right spots, just how many. You have 60 seconds to jot down your answers. Contestants, are you ready? Ready Barrett, if you can put the game games on screen. The games are until dawn, 2015, Star Wars Battlefront, 2015, the Binding of Isaac, Deadpool. In this War of mine. You have 60 seconds on the clock. You guys need to put these games in the correct order from highest to lowest. Metacritic. Once again, the games are until dawn, 2015, Star Wars Battlefront, 2015, the Binding of Isaac, Deadpool, and this War of Mine. You guys have about 30 seconds remaining to jot down your answers. It looks like Tim is all done. Tim has a confidence I've never seen before. This is crazy.

[Barrett Courtney]

I forget how much I like this music.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I was gonna say the same thing. I really like this music.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Do we know where this music came from? Did somebody make this? Or is this from, like, a sound library?

[Snow Bike Mike]

Sound library.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I might have to add this to my playlist.

[Barrett Courtney]

5 seconds left.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

5 seconds left to finish jotting your answers. All right, everybody's done jotting their answers. Again, I am asking you to name these games in order of their Metacritic score. Tim, I'm gonna have you go first.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Starting off with this War of Mine, and then Binding of Isaac and then until dawn, then Star Wars Battlefront, and then a little DP to end the day.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Andy, what you got for me?

[Gary Whitta]

Binding of Isaac Until Dawn, Deadpool, this War of Mine. Battlefield or Battlefront.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Mike.

[Andy Cortez]

Binding of Isaac, until dawn, this War of Mine, Star Wars Deadpool.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Nobody got all five games correct. Tim, you got three games in the correct spots. Andy, you have one game in the correct spot. Mike, you have three games in the correct spot. We're going to put 60 seconds back on the clock. Barrett, you can put the games back on the screen. You can rearrange your games however you want. Get how many points? Or get as many points as possible if you want. Here Tim is playing the game right now. I love to see this level of gameplay from Tim. Tim immediately put his board down because he realized he did the math. Right now, it is a battle for second place. Unfortunately for Andy and Mike, I am done. Mike is done. I appreciate Andy is still like it. I'm going for second place. I'm gonna get these answers.

[Snow Bike Mike]

I mean, if he gets all five, he wins.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, does he?

[Snow Bike Mike]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

All right, then. Never mind. This is still a battle.

[Snow Bike Mike]

No, maybe not.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

No, actually, I don't think that's true.

[Snow Bike Mike]

No? No.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

For context, for audio listeners, right? Tim has 180 points. Andy has 130. Then Mike has 80. And so Tim is 50 points ahead of Andy right now, and Tim has three guaranteed right answers.

[Snow Bike Mike]

You can see it. I don't care. I have nothing to lose.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Okay.

[Snow Bike Mike]

Okay.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. Like, even. Even if andy gets all five correct, I believe that'll put him 10 points behind Tim still.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, shit.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

All right, time is up. Tim, you didn't change a thing.

[Snow Bike Mike]

I didn't change a thing.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

So Tim has three answers in the correct spaces, which means he does get 60 points for the round. Andy, what you got for me?

[Gary Whitta]

I have Binding of Isaac, Battlefront Until Dawn, Deadpool, this War of Mine.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Mike, what you got for me?

[Andy Cortez]

Tim let me see his board. So I think that helped me actually. Binding of Isaac, this War of Mine, Until Dawn, Star Wars Deadpool.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

So, like I mentioned earlier, Tim got 60 points for his. Andy, you have two games in the correct spot. And before I reveal mics, Barrett, can you reveal the actual answers? At the top, you have the Binding of Isaac with an 84 Metacritic, followed by this War of Mine with an 83 Metacritic. Following that, you have Until dawn with a 79 Metacritic. Under that, Star Wars Battlefront with a 73 Metacritic. Under that, Deadpool with a 62 Metacritic, meaning Mike did indeed get all the right places. That's 100 points. Oh, no. Yes. 100 points for Mike there.

[Andy Cortez]

You look great today. Great today.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Barrett, what's the final score?

[Barrett Courtney]

The final score, God damn it. There we go. In last place, he was keeping up.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

He was, you know, he was 10.

[Barrett Courtney]

Points ahead in second place for most of the game, but he choked at the very last minute. It was Andy the Nitro Rifle Cortez for team purple with 170 points and who came back, honestly, probably the biggest win of the week, even though he was only in second place. For Greg Miller, it was Mike Howard for team blue with 180 points. He did get a star, but he has won all of our hearts.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

What are you celebrating?

[Andy Cortez]

Second I beat you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You were talking all that trash.

[Andy Cortez]

I beat you. Yeah, you left the doors open.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Trash.

[Barrett Courtney]

And the winner once again this week, it is the man, not the chair. It is Tim Gettys for team orange with 240 points.

[Andy Cortez]

I hope you choke knocking all that.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Baron if you can bring up the stars.

[Gary Whitta]

Making up things. He lives in his own world.

[Barrett Courtney]

Nobody witnesses.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Coming into this episode, Team Blue. Greg Miller's Team Blue, which always makes this confusion, came into this episode with one star. Tim's Team Orange came in with one star. Team Purple had zero stars so far. Tim's Team Orange just earned themselves a second star, giving them the lead so far for the season. Of course, those two stars come with an asterisk brought to you by Greg Miller. Of course, Greg Miller wants the asterisk on the there to display the fact that one of those stars are going to be his, according to him.

[Gary Whitta]

Could be.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, could be his.

[Gary Whitta]

Write it down.

[Snow Bike Mike]

My favorite thing about this is he doesn't just get to steal it. He needs to then beat me.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

He needs to beat you.

[Snow Bike Mike]

And what on one great hat. So we'll see how this goes.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Big words from Tim Geddes. But from his performance today, he might be able to back those up. So you shall see sometime during the season, if Greg can catch that in. Of course, this has been another episode. Episode of Game Showdown, your nerdy trivia show. We back next week with another episode. Until next time, it's been our pleasure to serve.
