Frank's Red Hot (advertisement)
When you add a shake of Frank's Red Hot, you open a world of better. A world where wings bring out the flavor of game day any day. Where buffalo chicken dip takes any party up a notch. And where any slice of pizza instantly becomes the world's best slice of pizza. At least until the next slice bring every bite to life with the perfect blend of flavor and heat. Frank's Red Hot. I put that shit on everything.
Blessing Adioye Jr.

Greg Miller
I mean, look at him.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
We should. We should jump off the fact that you are correct. You have not lost in 2025 because coming into this year, you won the Stars in the bank briefcase. We did a tournament at the kind of funny anniversary to start off this year of game showdown. You won Stars in the bank, which means at some point during this season, you'll be able to cash in your contract to challenge either Andy or Tim to steal one of their stars.
Greg Miller
And we know who it's going to be. Tim. We know whose stars. I'm coming for you.
Tim Geddes
Just the two time winner, season one, me. Season two, me. Season three. Telling you right now, me.
Greg Miller
Ladies, gentlemen and beast, season one of season two did belong to Tim, but that was from a previous decade. All right, that was kind of funny's first 10 years. This is kind of funny next 10 years. And as you know, I am, of course, Stars in the bank winner. You know of course I am. The final season of conda feudy's champion. All right, man.

Now it's summer. All right, this is the summer of Greg dandy April showers. And one of the things I said was that I felt very confident in the blue chair as the money in the bank suitcase man I could take it. And you said okay, so Tim, get up.

Blessing Adioye Jr.
There's no way this is gonna confuse a lot going forward. There's no way this is gonna screw things up.
Andy Cortez
Earlier before the show started I was like I really. These black velcro things on a shirt was a Greg bit but I see he's wearing one too so luckily I know that I'm safe. And he said don't worry, it's not but I have a lot of bits planned. And he laughed maniacally and then said which of my hands is real?
Greg Miller

Greg Miller
We don't have the Mexican beers there anymore. If I go in there and there's a Mexican beer, you bet your ass. You're in trouble.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Roger. Do it to me and says all right. He pays us which hand is real.
Tim Geddes
Oh my God.
Greg Miller
Do what he says.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Which hand is real? He's also busy managing the button. The buzzers.
Andy Cortez
Yeah.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Let's start off with round number one. Super Smash Brothers for the N64 was Nintendo's first foray into the All Star platform fighting franchise, featuring eight characters at the start and four unlockable characters including Captain Falcon, Luigi Jigglypuff, and which super Nintendo JRPG protagonist Greg Miller. Ness Ness is the correct answer.
Tim Geddes
I think the blue buzzer goes faster than. That's not fair.
Greg Miller
Is it the man or the chair, everybody?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Now, would Tim be saying that if he got the blue buzzer? Who knows?
Greg Miller
No, he wouldn't be.
Blessing Adioye Jr.

Blessing Adioye Jr.
Siri is incorrect. Barrett. Before you answer, Barrett, I need you to wipe the points of Greg Miller. Greg is back down to zero.
Tim Geddes
Yes. I love this game.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Contestants, today we're not just playing round robin, we're playing rogue robin in this roguelite mode.
Greg Miller
Nice.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Any mistake means your points are wiped out and you start back from zero.
Andy Cortez
Oh, shit.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Now I'm going to read question four.
Andy Cortez
No more. Just willy nilly hitting the buzzer. I love this.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
In the Witcher 3 the Wild Hunt, Sasha is the alias of which character. Of course, Greg Miller's already buzzed in. Gotten it wrong. Andy, Tim, you have the option to buzz in. Once you buzz in, you are on the board. If you get it wrong, you will lose your points. Andy Cortez.
Andy Cortez

Blessing Adioye Jr.

Blessing Adioye Jr.
Tris is incorrect. The correct answer is Carthea Van Canton. Of course, everybody's favorite, AKA Cantherella.
Tim Geddes
Oh, this is great.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Now, like I mentioned, this is Rogue Robin, which means things are kind of different, right? Speaking of, we have hit a power up round. Whoever succeeds in this round will not only receive 10 points, but also their choice of a power up.
Andy Cortez
I'm not happy to be here right now.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Now this is going to be a messy mashup. I'm going to read to you a clue which will be the description of a game. The answer will be the name of two games mashed up together. For example, in this game, sneak through top down corridors while defending the planet from alien invasion. The answer would be Metal Gears of War contestants, are you ready?
Andy Cortez
Ready.
Tim Geddes
This is brilliant, by the way.
Greg Miller
Don't kiss his ass. It's not a good look for you, you fucking loser.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
This is a branching narrative game featuring a nostalgic interface from the early 2000s. Log on to a classic messaging service and chat with a girl. Then after logging off, you'll need to team up with a friend to escape something even scarier than teenaged angst prison. Tim Geddes.
Tim Geddes
Emily is a way out.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Emily is a way out is the correct answer. Now, like I mentioned, this is a power up round. You have three. Three choices of what you want, you can either get armor. Armor allows you to be protected for one wrong answer. So you get a free wrong answer. You can get also or as opposed to that. If you want, you can get 30.
Andy Cortez
Points or Tim, crit damage always go for.
Greg Miller
Oh, mystery box.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
You can open up the secret treasure.
Tim Geddes
Whoa, secret treasure.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Tim wants this secret delight for you.
Andy Cortez
Oh, that's the seafood box.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Nice Robin box. Tim, you've opened the secret chest. Your reward is the four times patch. What this allows just for the next round. Round number six that we're going into. If you get the right answer, you get four times the points that round. So you're competing next round for 40 points while the others compete for 10.
Andy Cortez
Can't use it. There you go, Rush. Thank you.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Go ahead and put that on.
Andy Cortez
Look at that.
Tim Geddes
Wow, that's awesome.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Round number six. In 2015, the first six games were inducted.
Andy Cortez
Well, so no more messy mashup.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
No, no more messy mashup. That was just for that round. In 2015, the first six games were inducted into the World Video Game hall of Fame. Video games become eligible by meeting four criteria. Icon status, longevity, geographical reach and influence. Contestants, can you name one of the first six games that were added? Greg Miller.
Greg Miller
Pong.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Pong is the correct answer. That is one of the six games your options here. And that is 10 points for Greg Miller. Of course, your options here would have been Pong, Tetris, Pac Man, Super Mario Brothers, Doom, World of Warcraft. Tim, you can give me back that patch. Sadly, weren't quick enough to the punch.
Tim Geddes
Pac man on the mind.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Greg Miller just straight up stole it from you. Oh, you.
Andy Cortez
Oh, you ripped it off.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
There you go.

Blessing Adioye Jr.

Yeah, yeah. Round number eight. Contestants, you've hit a challenge room. The challenge room features a series of questions all within the same category of the person who got the previous answer correct. Choose the challenge room you want to enter. So, Greg Miller.
Greg Miller
Gotcha.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Your choices are Subtitle sound off or what's the city Subtitle. We're going with Subtitle sound off. I'm going to list off the names of game subtitles. For example, Kingdom Hearts, Birth by Sleep. Birth by Sleep is the subtitle. It is your job to buzz in and Guess what? The game series is based on the listed subtitles.
Greg Miller
That's real good.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Whoever gets the most correct answers. Or whoever gets the most correct. Actually, no, disregard that. For each correct answer, you get 10 points.
Greg Miller
Okay, got it. So wait, I'm sorry, just to be clear.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah.
Greg Miller
You're going to give, like, three subtitles and we have to tell you, oh, it's infamous or whatever.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Correct.
Greg Miller
Okay.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah, yeah. Number one, Contracts, absolution and blood money. Greg Miller, Hitman. That is correct. That is 10 points for Greg Miller.
Andy Cortez
Why did I think he was the only one going? I kind of. I zoned out there.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I thought it was a thing for you. And one thing I will point out. Rogue Robin rules still do apply. So if you get a wrong answer here, you're all your points are wiped.

Greg Miller
Just letting everybody know that I deserve a tip of that because I'm awesome.
Andy Cortez
20 points off for kind of like going at you right there. Bless you.
Greg Miller
All right. Aren't you sick? I don't know where you want to be on the Human Centipede of Tim winning all the time, but we're definitely not the mouth, so we gotta throw at him.
Tim Geddes
All right.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
All right. We're out of our challenge room and we're back into regular Rogue Robin with round number nine.
Greg Miller
Wait, so this is still Rogue Robin?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
This is still Rogue Robin. The whole thing is real rock is really spicy. Round number nine, it's time for an ost.
Greg Miller
Oh, fuck it.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Barrett's going to play a song Whoever can tell me what game the song is from gets 10 points. You get a tip of the hat. You can tell me the title of the song. The title of the song won't count for Rogue Robin Rules, but the name of the game the song is from is what matters.
Greg Miller
It's fair. We like that.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Barrett, play the song. Tim Geddes.
Tim Geddes
This is Mario 64 theme, but it's the version from Mario Galaxy 2 from Throwback Galaxy.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
That is correct. And you get the tip of the hat. This is. Yeah, for game. This is Super Mario Galaxy 2. And the name of the song is indeed Throwback Galaxy. I was hoping that one would trip you up, but Tim was on it.
Andy Cortez
He's Louise Juice.
Greg Miller
Louise.
Andy Cortez
That was real good. Yeah.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Number 10.
Andy Cortez
Maybe it is the chair.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Round.
Greg Miller
He did good, though.
Andy Cortez
That's what I'm saying.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
In 2021, on rapper J. Cole's song 95 south, the artist makes a reference to a classic video game duo when he says the line quote, I be staying out the way, but if the beef do come around, could put an M right on your head, you Blanks brother. Now, which video game character does J. Cole refer to by name in that blank? Andy Cortez.
Andy Cortez
Mario.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Mario is incorrect. Wipe Andy's points. Again, the quote is, I be staying out the way, but if the beef do come around, put an M right on your head. You are Blank's brother. Now, Greg.
Greg Miller
Luigi.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I had it. Luigi is the correct answer.
Greg Miller
That's what I thought originally, and then. But then I didn't want to risk the points. But risk it for the biscuit, right, Raj? That's what he always says.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
That is 10 points for Greg Miller. Sorry, Andy.
Andy Cortez
It's okay.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Next round, it's not open. You guys have hit a mini boss.
Greg Miller
Jesus.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
You guys are familiar with the rules. From here on, correct answers are worth 20 points. And I'm not asking questions to the group. These are tailored questions for each contestant, and you only have 15 seconds to answer. Rogue Robin rules still apply.
Greg Miller
What the fuck? What if we don't answer?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
But now you have to answer. If you don't or you get the wrong answer, you lose all your points.
Andy Cortez
I hate this.
Greg Miller
This is where it's not cool anymore. It was cool up until minivoss was minivas.
Tim Geddes
Oh, my God.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Starting with Tim Geddes. Tim, your game of the year of 2024. Prince of Persia. The Lost Crown was developed by the by the studio Ubisoft Montpelier. This studio was founded by Michel Ansell over 30 years ago with their first game released in 1995. What was their first game?

Notably, they've worked on some popular franchises, including Dragon Ball and the most recent 2018 entry to which popular fighting game franchise known for its prominent usage of melee weapons.
Greg Miller
You're such a dick. You're such a fucking dick.
Barrett Courtney
Is it the van or the chair?
Greg Miller
Greg, it's fighting game. What? Can you hear one more time?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah, I'll give it to you one more time. They've worked on some popular franchises, including Dragon Ball and the most recent 2018 entry to which popular fighting game franchise known for its prominent usage of melee weapons.
Greg Miller
For honor. I don't fucking know.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
For honor is incorrect. Wipe Greg's points now.
Andy Cortez
It's a chair. It's a chair. It's the man. It's the man.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Andy and Tim, because Greg got this wrong, you have the option to rob this round from Greg. But I do have multiple choice options here for you. Buzz in to answer. Of course, if you don't buzz in, you're safe. You won't lose points. Once you buzz in, you're risking it all for 20 points. Here again, the question is Dimps, the developer, they've worked on some notable franchises, some popular franchises, including Dragon Ball and the most recent 2018 entry to which popular fighting game franchise known for its prominent usage of melee weapons. Your options are A, Tekken Tag Tournament, B, Soul Caliber, or C, Samurai Showdown. Tim Gettys.
Tim Geddes
Soul Caliber.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Tim says Soul Caliber. Soul Calibur is correct. That is 20 points for Tim.
Tim Geddes
The 2018 threw me off. Is that really the last Soul Caliber?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Soul Caliber. Yes. Was in 2018. Insane.
Andy Cortez
I wanted to say Soul Caliber, but I was like, the last one was like in 2011.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah, right.
Greg Miller
It just. I was like, I have no. I assume. Did Bandai publish that as well? Yeah, I was like, I can't think of a Bandai Fighter.
Tim Geddes
Yoshimitsu character in Tekken is also in Soul Calibur.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Oh, neat.
Greg Miller
You remember Link was in there too. In Yoda. Remember Yoda?
Tim Geddes
Yeah, he was Soul Caliber.
Greg Miller
Very small.
Andy Cortez
Vayne.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Bear can I get a score recap.
Andy Cortez
Looking good.
Barrett Courtney
All right, now the score is. Team Blue, who is now Greg, is in last place with zero points, losing it all in the most recent round. In second place. So close, yet so far, he's had some ups and some downs. It's Andy for team purple with 20 points. And in the lead right now, it is Tim Gettys, now playing for team orange with 80 points. But it's still anybody's game.
Andy Cortez
I. I want people to rewind and just kind of zoom in on me during the question about PlayStation and From software. What games were published by place. You know, the Demon Souls Blood one. Because as that question starts getting read, I go, oh. Like, my mind just immediately stopped listening to the question went, oh, I want. You know, all these questions are clearly tailored towards each one of us. And I'm clearly the FromSoftware guy. And demon Souls Blood Bar, I was like, oh, yeah, I forgot I have the answer. What's happening here?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
What's funny? And like, this is me, you know, opening the curtain behind the scenes of how I formulate these questions. The first three rounds were meant for each of you so that hopefully each of you would have 10 points so that when I asked the witcher question, somebody's losing points there. Smart. So Greg getting ness. When that was met for Tim Geddes, I was like, all right, well, let's see how this works out, this place.
Barrett Courtney
Yeah. You always have to have a scripted dying moment in a rogue light game.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Exactly. So that's what that was. That's when you die in the beginning of the game. But you're supposed to die.
Andy Cortez
Game designer, this guy.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah. Thank you, Greg, for. For being the one happy to be in the skateboard mini.
Greg Miller
Boss is.
Andy Cortez
I smelled chicken.
Greg Miller
Yeah. No. Mike opened up a bag of McDonald's over there.
Andy Cortez
Oh.
Greg Miller
All of a sudden I was like, how are French fries wafting in? And I just see in the back there, the kingpin seat up.
Blessing Adioye Jr.

Greg Miller
Now, there's one quick thing here. You know what I mean? You're a great host.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Thank you.
Greg Miller
You know, I've had problems with the judges before, of course, and it's because I think some of the judges, they'll remain nameless, but they're Roger. And so, Roger, let me do a little demonstration for you. This is a beer. And so when daddy says, go to the fridge and get me a beer. And you go.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
No beer.
Greg Miller
Come back. I lose the fucking. Because I'm asked about a bandai Namco fighting game. It was in the refrigerator where I.
Andy Cortez
Told you it was really going through it right now.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
A lot of people in chat also, because I like to check the chat because usually chat is on my side. They did not like the Greg question to be asking about a fighting game. But I'm also the mind of, like.
Greg Miller
I'm kind of funny. And I'll overcome this season as well. Don't worry.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Somebody always gets screwed over. In the tailored question.
Andy Cortez
You always got.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah, you always got to screw some.
Andy Cortez
I always get reminded of like, Andy, you're the shooter fan. What's this soundtrack? And it was from Quake or something. I was like, I've never played that in my life.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
This game ain't meant to be Fair.
Andy Cortez
Yeah.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
It's meant to be fun.
Greg Miller
Yes.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
And it's fun for me. God dang it.
Andy Cortez
You also put me against the sports gaming guy, who, while we were playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Mike said, man, this game is really good. I only played, like sport. I only played Madden growing up. I was like, oh, I'm gonna. As soon as the question came up, I was like, oh, these answers are gonna be NFL street, and I'm not gonna get a single one of them.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Lucky for you guys, we're still in Rogue Robin, but we are out of the boss round of the mini boss round. So we're back to regular Rogue Robin, which means points are back to the 10 point value.
Greg Miller
And you can lose them all if you get it wrong.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
And you can lose them all if you get them wrong.
Greg Miller
I need to save. How about some drama, Tim? You know what I mean?
Andy Cortez
Yeah. Risk it.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah.
Andy Cortez
Put on a show for people for once.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Round number 14.
Andy Cortez
Entertain us.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
It's a power up round. Once again, whoever succeeds in this round will not only receive the 10 points, but also their choice of a powerup. This is a list. So on our show Shit List, we try to guess games that'll be on the top 10 list. In this round, I'm tasking you with the reverse. I'm going to list entries in a top 10 list from 10 to 1. It is your job to buzz in and guess what the top 10 topic is. You can buzz in at any point. However, Rogue Robin rules still apply. So don't guess wrong.
Greg Miller
It too.
Tim Geddes
It's scary.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Y'all contestants, are you ready?
Tim Geddes
I need this power up.
Andy Cortez
Yeah.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
This is a top 10 list. Coming in at number 10.
Greg Miller
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't mean to interrupt. Yeah, can I buzz like number 10 is this. And I say something and then if.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
It'S wrong, you lose all your points.
Greg Miller
But I can buzz in at 9.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yes.
Greg Miller
Okay, cool.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah.
Greg Miller
So every entry I can buzz in. I got no points.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I got what you're doing here. Yes, you can. Yes. This is a good strategy. I didn't even think about this outcome, but yeah, totally. Like you can buzz in every single time. You got no risk for you.
Greg Miller
They call me the thinking main snake.
Andy Cortez
What?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I don't know what that means.
Greg Miller
Think about it. I know I am at number 10.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Dispatch at number 9. Thick as Thieves, Greg Miller.
Greg Miller
Most anticipated 2025 games.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Incorrect at number 8. Project Robot at number 7. Mafia the Old Country Greg Miller Games.
Greg Miller
We can't wait for betas for incorrect.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
At Number six, Split Fiction.
Tim Geddes
Tim Gettys games that were shown at the Game Awards 2024.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I'm gonna give it to you. That is close enough for me. Ten best reveals at the Game Awards 2024. That was written by the gamer went up earlier this year. That is 10 points for Tim Geddes. And Tim, you get your choice of a power up like before. You can either choose 30 points right now. You can get the armor to protect you from a wrong answer, or you can open the secret.
Greg Miller
Oh, there's more in the secret chest.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
There is more in the secret chest.
Tim Geddes
I gotta play it safely. I have too many points on the board. I'm going for the shield.
Andy Cortez
Have fun. Have fun.
Tim Geddes
I'm going for the shield.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Going for the shield.
Tim Geddes
Oh, going for the shield.
Andy Cortez
Damn. Sounds like there was something really cool in there.
Greg Miller
100 points.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I was very excited for the secret chest, but maybe another time.
Andy Cortez
Yeah.
Tim Geddes
Play it safe.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Round 15. The WWE Wrestling games are known for many things. One of those things is their creation suite, allowing you to create a wrestler, create an entrance, and more. In WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2009, which popular creative feature was added to the franchise, which Greg Miller in his IGN review says doesn't feel fleshed out. Greg Miller.
Greg Miller
Create an entrance.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Create an entrance is incorrect.
Tim Geddes
Thank God I didn't say.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
It looks like Andy and Tim don't want to answer. The correct answer would have been create a finisher. Create a finisher. One that I actually did flesh a lot. But you're right, it wasn't fleshed out.
Andy Cortez
He was right. Yeah.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Round number 16, which popular Twitch streamer achieved the milestone of becoming the first to surpass 3 million followers and also streamed Fortnite with Drake, Andy Cortez Test Ninja. Ninja is the correct answer. That is 10 points for Andy.
Andy Cortez
I love that guy.
Greg Miller
Round number still doing stuff like, is he still. Is he still a big deal?
Andy Cortez
Oh, yeah. I mean, yeah.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Is he on Twitch still?
Andy Cortez
Yeah. I mean, once, you know, Mixer went down and they're like, all right, we went down before.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Oh, because he took all that money.
Andy Cortez
Oh, he took a lot.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah, they paid him a lot of money. Insane.
Andy Cortez
And then Microsoft had to lay off like 40,000 people or something. It was crazy.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Twitch made million or Ninja made millions.
Andy Cortez
Of dollars, took all their paychecks.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Round number 17. What is this game? In this 2007 video game titled Dead Men Co op, third person action defines the campaign. But there is also an online multiplayer mode titled Fragile alliance, which consists of four maps. Hot coffee, Late night opening, withdrawal, and A walk in the park. What is that game? Wait, so I'm asking you, what is this game?
Greg Miller
But you said Deadman. Is that the title or is that subtitled?
Andy Cortez
Oh, yes, sorry.
Greg Miller
Can we hear the question again? I was very confused.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I got you. What is this game? In this 2007 video game subtitled Dead Men Co Op, third person action defines the campaign. But there is also an online multiplayer mode titled Fragile alliance, which consists of four maps. Hot coffee, late night opening withdrawal, and a walk in the park. It looks like nobody has it. The answer.
Greg Miller
Can we not think for a second?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Give me a second. I'll give you a second.
Greg Miller
You know, I mean, come on. I'm running. I'm doing my best over here, you know? Greg Miller wanted Dead Men.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
That is incorrect. The correct answer. Kanan Lich. Deadman. Kanan Lich Deadman.
Greg Miller
Was that two? Kane Lynch, Two.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I think this might have been one.
Greg Miller
Oh, Jesus.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Oh, I can double check. Oh, double check. As we go into our.
Greg Miller
No, it doesn't matter. I just didn't know. Yeah. Rest in peace, Jeff Gersley.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Our next round is a challenge room. The challenge room features a series of questions all within the same category. I'll have the person who got the previous answer choose which challenge room you want to enter. However, since nobody got the previous answer correct, I'm going to have you guys vote. Your options are you don't know Jack or out of control. Greg, I'll let you vote first.
Greg Miller
Thank you. That means a lot to me. Let's go. Out of control. Because I'm off the rails.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Greg wants out of control. Andy, what do you want? Sure.
Andy Cortez
The same.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
All right. Out of control.
Tim Geddes
It is unfortunate. I was going to say that too.
Andy Cortez
Thanks, man.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Out of control. I'm going to say the name of a video game controller. Your task is to buzz in and tell me which console this controller was for.
Greg Miller
Got it.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Very simple.
Andy Cortez
And we're still Rogan.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
And we're still Rogan. So if you. Sure. Yeah. If you answer correct or incorrectly, you do lose all of your points.
Greg Miller
Unless you're Tim with his little armor.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Unless you're Tim. Yeah. Tim will just lose his armor because he pairs it, but then he's open for damage. Number one, Power Glove. Greg Miller.
Greg Miller
The Nintendo Entertainment System.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
That is correct. That is 10 points for Greg. Number two, six button arcade pad.
Greg Miller
I feel like all of them.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
A six button arcade pad.
Andy Cortez
I'm gonna risk it for the business.
Greg Miller
Oh, my God.
Andy Cortez
Sega Genesis.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
That is correct. That is 10 points for AD Cortez.
Andy Cortez
Thank you.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Number three. Gravis PC GamePad is G R A, V, I S. The Gravis PC GamePad.
Andy Cortez
You know you want it. You have a shield. Tim. Who cares?
Tim Geddes
I mean, I don't even know where to begin.
Andy Cortez
Harriet.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Looks like nobody's gonna answer. That is for the dos, the os. Number four, Super Scope. Tim Gettys Super Nintendo. That is correct. Number five, the Duke Andy OG Xbox. That is correct. Number six. 3D pad. The 3D pad.
Tim Geddes
I think I know it, but I'm not willing to risk it.
Andy Cortez
He wants it. Go for it.
Barrett Courtney
You have a shield.
Andy Cortez
You have a shield, Dan.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
You do have a shield.
Andy Cortez
Just put. How many right now?
Greg Miller
How many of these? I made the game. How many more of these can we have?
Tim Geddes
Tim Gettys Sega Saturn.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
That is correct.
Greg Miller
3D game pad.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
It's called a 3D pad. Yeah.
Tim Geddes
Nights into dreams, everybody.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Number seven, zapper box. Greg.
Greg Miller
Nes.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
That is correct. Number eight, Menacer the Menacer. Nobody's going to guess.
Greg Miller
Yeah, dude.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Three, two. The correct answer there would have been the Sega Genesis.
Greg Miller
Yeah, I thought so, but I just thought myself.
Tim Geddes
Don't know that guy.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
That does bring us to the end of that challenge room. Before we move on, Barrett, can I get another score recap, please?
Barrett Courtney
Right now, still in last place because he was given a beer way too late. It is Greg Miller for team blue with 20 points, just a little bit ahead of him. Still in second place, it is one, Andy the Nitro Rifle Cortez for Team Purple with 50 points and still in the lead. It is the man, not the chair. It is Tim Geddes for Team Orange, now with 110 points, but it's still anybody's game.
Greg Miller
Imagine if I still have those 70 points, though, and it was competitive, you know?
Andy Cortez
Yeah. Yeah.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I mean, this still can. This still can go all the way.
Andy Cortez
Imagine if I just use, like, simple word comprehension and realize that Luigi's brother is Mario.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
You know, I'm just saying Tim could lose his points at any moment.
Greg Miller
I doubt he could. I doubt he can. He's got the armor, and then he's not. Tim's smart. But again, the best part about Tim winning is I win, too.
Andy Cortez
Oh, that's not stealing it, so. Right. Yeah. Oh, man, you're really fucked on this one.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Contestants, it is time for the final boss round. You guys are familiar with the rules? From here on, correct answers are worth 20 points, and I'm not asking questions to the group. These are tailored questions for each contestant. You have 15 seconds to answer. Rogue Robin rules still Apply. But now you have to answer. Since this is the final boss, there are two phases. Let's start.
Tim Geddes
No, I need to get one right.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Let's start with phase one. Phase one is called the franchise favorite. I'm going to name three games that share the same franchise. Your job is to tell me which of these three games had the highest Metacritic. No. There will not be robbing rounds in this round. During this phase, we're going to start off.
Greg Miller
What?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
There is no robbing rounds.
Tim Geddes
Got it?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah. So if you get it wrong, nobody's going to get the option to steal it.
Andy Cortez
Coolio.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Greg, I'm going to start off with you.
Greg Miller
Sure.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I'm going to name three games. You're going to tell me which one had the highest Metacritic.
Greg Miller
Sure.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
The games are Infamous 1, Infamous 2, and Infamous Second Son. Which of those three games had the highest Metacritic?
Greg Miller
It's a really tough one. I mean, you guys don't feel confident in that either.
Andy Cortez
I mean, you had Fear of the Bat earlier.
Greg Miller
I'm gonna say Infamous two, Festival of Blood. Infamous two.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Oh, Infamous two is incorrect. Was it Greg's points? The answer was infamous one. If this one has an 85 on Metacritic, two has an 83. Second son has an 80. Tim, you're next. Your games are Final Fantasy 16, Final Fantasy 15, and Final Fantasy 13.
Andy Cortez
The tough one then 16.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
16 is the correct answer. That is 20 points for Tim Geddes. Go, Andy.
Andy Cortez
This guy's crazy.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yes, guys. Nuts. Andy, your games are Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls 3.
Andy Cortez
Dark Souls 3.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Dark Souls 3 is incorrect. Oh, wipe all of Andy's points. The correct answer there would have been Dark Souls 2.
Greg Miller
What?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Dark Souls 2 has a 91 on Metacritic. Dark Souls 1 has an 89. Dark Souls 3 has an 89.
Andy Cortez
I'm not playing it for my birthday. Everybody taking back the plans. I'm not playing Dark Souls 2 anymore.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
And I'm pulling there. I'm pulling from the PlayStation Metacritics, which mostly align with other platforms.
Tim Geddes
Wow.
Andy Cortez
Crazy.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
That is the end of Phase One. We're going to enter Phase Two. Even though I think technically there's nothing really the other guys can do about this. But just for fun, just for fun, let's enter Phase two.
Andy Cortez
We should slash his tires.
Greg Miller
Or his throat.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Oh, my God.
Barrett Courtney
Oh, bless her, Tim.
Greg Miller
Dealer's choice.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Phase two is. Whose voice line is it anyway? I'm gonna quote to you a voice line of a character. Your job is to tell me which character said this voice line. For this round, I'm only Pulling characters from the last two God of War games you can steal. If a player gets this wrong, I'm starting with last place. Who is Greg Miller?
Greg Miller
Greg, I'm tired.
Andy Cortez
Yeah.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
The quote is, may this weapon strike true. May it be wielded with wisdom. May it be put down when the job is done. Who said that quote in the God of War franchise, man?
Greg Miller
Brock.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Brock is the correct answer. That is 20 points for Greg Miller.
Tim Geddes
Sick.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah, Andy.
Greg Miller
Yeah.
Andy Cortez
I just can't picture his ass saying that.
Greg Miller
That's why it was a big deal.
Andy Cortez
May your weapons track true.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
You know, I think it was when he was giving like that sounds like.
Barrett Courtney
Someone from Red Dead.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
It's from John Marston.
Andy Cortez
Arthur. Arthur, it's me.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
It's Hank Hill going to Tahiti. Arthur. Andy, the quote is. War does not measure the strength of a man.
Andy Cortez
Wait, I mean war.
Greg Miller
He's so hung up on Dark Souls.
Andy Cortez
Oh yeah, okay.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
War does not measure the strength of a man. Who.
Greg Miller
What?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Cod of War character said that quote?
Andy Cortez
I'm gonna go with Kratos.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Kratos is the correct answer. That is 20 points for Andy. Tim, your quote is. I suppose this is the moment I forgive you or I kill you.
Andy Cortez
I suppose this is the moment.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I.
Andy Cortez
Thought he was gonna give Tim boy.
Tim Geddes
Yeah. Oh man. God, I. I'm so hazy on these characters names.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I'm happy you have the armor because.
Tim Geddes
I'm very happy I have the armor. Very happy. It's just like Valhalla. I'm going to go with. With Freya.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Freya is the correct answer. All three of you got those three correct.
Andy Cortez
Dang it, dude.
Tim Geddes
Let's fucking go.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Which brings us to our final score. Barrett. What is it man?
Barrett Courtney
We got our final score.
Greg Miller
This is a box score. That doesn't make any sense. If you didn't watch the episode, you're right, you're tied.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
First, second place, like it's a big.
Greg Miller
Deal and it means a lot, but you know what I mean?
Barrett Courtney
Tied for second place it is Greg Miller who only has one beer in him. Get this man. Another beer. For team blue with 20 points. And Andy the Nitro Rifle Cortez for team purple also with 20 points. And who ran away with it? The Roguelite master of this episode of Rogue Robin, it was Tim Gettys for team orange with 150 points.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Barry, you can bring up the star standing so we can catch up with the overall score for this season. Coming into this. Well, these are stage from last season. Everybody's coming into this with zero stars. But Tim, your season one. In season two, Champ is starting off strong in season three with your first win of the season. Greg is calling somebody right now.
Tim Geddes
Something horrible.
Andy Cortez
Look at his eyes.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Paul has been forwarded to voice.
Andy Cortez
The person you're trying to reach is not available.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
At the tone, please record your message. When you have finished recording, you may hang up.
Greg Miller
Gia Gettys, it's me, Greg Miller. And I got some bad news for you, Tim. Just put your personal safety underneath winning some dust made up game. So now it's a green fucking light for me to come in your house at all hours. Any vacation. Anytime you go to a romantic dinner, stars in the bank will be watching. Good night.
Andy Cortez
His eyes about the pop out of his skull.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Oh God. Everybody, this has been game showdown.
Greg Miller
Good job dirty.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Good choice.
Greg Miller
You made some good choices. The bomb is in play. The bomb is in play.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
It's a contract. We'll be back next week with more game showdown. Until next time, it's been our pleasure. Serbia.
Andy Cortez
Are you happy about this?
Tim Geddes
I'm scared.
Kinda Funny Gamescast: Video Game Podcast – Episode Summary
Title: Get a Question Wrong, Lose ALL Your Points - Game Showdown
Release Date: January 17, 2025
Hosts: Tim Gettys, Greg “GameOverGreggy” Miller, Blessing Adeoye Jr., and Andy Cortez
Episode Duration: Approximately 48 minutes
The season three premiere of Game Showdown kicks off with host Blessing Adioye Jr. welcoming contestants from three distinct teams:
Greg Miller enters with a competitive edge, proudly declaring, “I haven't lost in 2025” (01:38). Blessing reminds listeners that Greg is the reigning “Stars in the Bank” champion, granting him the unique ability to challenge other contestants to steal their stars throughout the season.
Notable Quote:
Greg Miller (01:38): “I've just been ready. I've just been hungry. You know, I haven't lost in 2025.”
Blessing outlines the core mechanics of Game Showdown, explaining that each correct answer scores 10 points. However, the twist lies in the Rogue Robin mode introduced in this episode: any mistake results in contestants losing all their accumulated points and starting anew.
The first round presents standard video game trivia questions. For instance, a question about the inaugural nominees for the Best Adaptation category at the Game Awards 2022 stumps Greg, Tim, and Andy, ultimately revealing "The Cuphead Show" as the correct answer at 05:37.
Notable Interaction:
Greg Miller (05:37): “Castlevania.”
Blessing Adioye Jr. (05:37): “Castlevania is incorrect.”
Blessing innovates the game by introducing Rogue Robin mode during the fourth question, significantly raising the stakes. A misstep here would drastically impact a contestant's standing.
Notable Quote:
Blessing Adioye Jr. (11:07): “Contestants, today we're not just playing round robin, we're playing rogue robin in this roguelite mode. Any mistake means your points are wiped out and you start back from zero.”
Throughout the episode, contestants earn power-ups that can offer strategic advantages. For example, Tim selects a Four Times Patch, allowing him to quadruple his points in the next round (13:27).
In the Challenge Rooms, contestants face themed questions. Greg chooses the "Subtitle Sound Off" challenge, correctly identifying games based on their subtitles, such as "Hitman" for "Contracts, Absolution, and Blood Money" (16:14).
Greg’s Dominance: Initially leading, Greg confidently asserts his prowess but faces setbacks when incorrect answers reset his points to zero (10:54).
Quote:
Greg Miller (10:54): “Siri.”
Tim’s Steady Climb: Utilizing strategic power-ups and consistent correct answers, Tim steadily amasses points, ultimately leading with 150 points by the finale (23:51).
Quote:
Tim Geddes (23:53): “Wow, that's awesome.”
Andy’s Struggles and Redemption: Andy faces challenges due to tailored questions that don't align with his expertise but manages to secure points through quick thinking and persistence, including correctly identifying Overwatch’s May as the hero using an endothermic blaster (21:30).
Quote:
Andy Cortez (21:30): “May is the correct answer.”
The Final Boss Round intensifies the competition as questions now hold double the value (20 points) and are individually tailored to each contestant. Despite Greg’s efforts, his earlier setbacks leave him trailing. Tim answers critical questions correctly, including identifying "Dark Souls 2" as having the highest Metacritic score among its series (42:31).
Notable Moment:
During the final challenge, Greg attempts to disrupt the host with humor, leading to heightened tension and playful exchanges.
Final Scores:
Notable Quote:
Tim Geddes (46:02): “Let's fucking go.”
Post-competition, the contestants share their thoughts on the game’s dynamics. Andy reflects on the tailored questions designed to challenge each participant’s strengths, acknowledging the host’s strategic question formulation (25:00).
Notable Quote:
** Andy Cortez (25:00):** “I want people to rewind and just kind of zoom in on me during the question about PlayStation and From software.”
Greg humorously laments his point losses and hints at future comebacks, maintaining the competitive spirit for upcoming episodes.
