Tone & Vibe

The episode is rollicking, competitive, tongue-in-cheek, and full of friendly trash talk, sudden reversals, and meta-humor about the rules, the podcast itself, and gaming culture. Contestants mix deep gaming knowledge with improv quips, and the ever-present sense that both camaraderie and rivalry drive every point.

[B]

A few weeks ago on Game Showdown, there was a mishap in which Mike Howard of Team Purple didn't receive points on a particular round that he was supposed to. This led to a result earning Greg Miller of Team Blue a star, when ultimately this should have resulted in a tie. Today, to start off this episode, we are remedying that by giving Mike a chance to steal one of Greg's stars and Greg a chance to defend his star. This will be decided.

[C]

This is horseshit.

I mean, listen, don't look at me.

October 1990. Your Missouri Tigers versus the Colorado Buffaloes. What happened, Mike? The famous, some would say infamous, fifth down, Missouri stops the Buffaloes. One, two, three, four. But the stupid fucking refs don't catch that it was fourth down. Give them a fifth down, they're able to score. What happens when they figure out There was a mistake. Refs are so stupid. They just say we let it ride. You let this ride. This is bullshit. And if anything, I should get the star I was awarded and keep it. Mike can maybe compete for another star. Horseshit. This is horsesh. Roger, kdg, put it in the record books. I am playing under protest

You have A, Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, B, DK King of SW C, Donkey Kong Jungle Climber, D, DK Banana Blitz, or E, Donkey Kong junior Math, which isn't a real Donkey Kong spinoff.

[C]

So what happens if, like, neither of us get it right?

[B]

Then I'll. Then we'll go again.

[C]

Oh, fuck. I just don't get to keep it. That isn't. This isn't. Mike's one shot to make it right. Why is this fucking deck stacked for Mike?

[B]

For it you gotta earn it. It's not stacked for Mike.

[B]

All. We got props today. Don't look at them just yet. I'll pro. I'll prompt you when you can.

[C]

Ladies and gentlemen, what was it like to watch a crime happen and do nothing? You know, we all like to imagine we'd spring into action and stop the crime. We all sat there, your fat little fingers on your phone, not doing anything spring into action.

[D]

Remember Mike was supposed to give me the bonus star and then he was like, andy, you never played for me.

[C]

You never let me play for you.

[D]

Which just wasn't true.

[B]

Thank you. Our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster and Delaney the Psalm Twining. Today we're brought to you by Solo leveling Arise Overdrive, the action RPG based on the popular solo leveling franchise launches on November 17th and is open for pre order and wish listing on Steam and Xbox PC. But folks at TwitchCon can experience an exclusive demo at the Solo Leveling Arise Overdrive Booth and also Shady Rays. But we'll tell you about that later. For now, let's play Chip Damage. Chip Damage is a brand new game and the rules are simple. Chip Damage is a question and answer game about video games. I'll give you a question. You have your buzzers that you'll use to buzz in and answer said question. You can buzz in once per round. That would be eating chips. Now here's the twist. Chip damage isn't about gaining points. It's about not losing them. Barrett, do me a favor. Put 100 points on each of the

[D]

scoreboards, as high as it'll go for me. Screencap this one.

[B]

Your points are your health bar. If you give the correct answer, you can deal 10 damage to a player of your choosing. If your points hit zero, you're out of the game. Whoever ends with the most points or the last player standing wins. Contestants, are you ready?

[D]

Just devised a way to, like, make me hate this show. How can I not look forward to the two people next to me? This is going to be great.

[B]

Let's start with round number one. Which Game Boy Advanced game, known for its turn based strategy gameplay, recently got a reboot title, Andy Advanced Wars. Advanced wars is the correct answer. Now, Andy, you have the option to attack either Tim or Greg, but you also have the have the option to draw. Now, game showdown has many modes. A roguelike, a co op adventure, and now a deck building game. These cards that you have in front of you, which you can now look at the. The hands that I have in front of you.

[D]

The two.

[B]

The two that you have. Yeah, yeah, yeah. These cards function as items that you can play to screw over your opponents, collect them or use them. But once you use them, they get discarded. You, of course, started off with two in your hand. I believe Tim got to draw an extra one. Andy, since you got the question correct, you can choose to draw a card or attack Greg or Tim.

[D]

Okay. And. But I'll be drawing from there, right?

[B]

Yes.

[D]

I'm drawing from that center thing.

[B]

Yeah,

[C]

I'd like to leech life. I'm gonna take 10 points from Andy.

[B]

All right, go for it. Can you read that out loud? Exactly what that Leech Life.

[C]

Play any time. Steal 10 points from another player. Just use your card picking, Andy. I mean, one that says play anywhere. Maybe they'll change that rule next week and then take the points back to you. Oh, wow.

[B]

There you go. Greg got 10 points. Andy loses 10 points there.

[D]

Okay, I will use my. I will take points from Greg with car.

[B]

Oh, you're gonna attack.

[D]

Yeah, just gonna attack.

[B]

Okay, cool. When you attack Greg, Greg's points go down by 10, which means Greg is back to 100. As we move on to round number two, Magic the Gathering often collabs with various brands such as Final Fantasy and Sonic the Hedgehog lending those IP to original magic cards. Which of the following video game franchises hasn't received a magic collab? Is it Fortnite? Near, Assassin's Creed, or Street Fighter?

[C]

Greg Fortnite.

[B]

Fortnite is incorrect. Tim.

[C]

Near.

[B]

Near is the correct answer. Would you like to attack one of these players or draw a card?

[E]

Draw a card.

[B]

Tim's gonna draw a card. As we move to round number three, in a standard game of Tetris, how many different shapes of tetrominoes are there, Tim?

[E]

Five.

[B]

Five is incorrect.

[F]

Andy?

[B]

12. 12?

[C]

What now? I got time. Jesus Christ.

[B]

12 is incorrect.

[C]

I mean, we got. So it's just me now, right? So the line block.

[B]

Of course.

[C]

We got the square block, we got the Z. Now would you be counting? The Z's can come in two varieties. Does that count? Or is it you just put in a Z block as a Z block?

[B]

I don't know if I can answer that.

[C]

Okay, but you see my confusion.

[B]

I see. Let's see.

[C]

Okay, so I'm. Whoosh. That's fucked up, though. Cuz.

[B]

Right?

[C]

Like, I guess if you were, like, if I was making Tetris cookies, I would make two Z blocks, and I do them one way or the other. So I'll say there's four total blocks.

[B]

Four is incorrect. There's actually. You only. You only get one guess for each you. There are actually seven Tetris.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

You have the I. So, like this, the long bar. Yeah, yeah. You have the. They call it the O, the square. So you had the four, you have the T. Yeah, you have the T, you have the S, the Z, the J and the L. Did you get

[D]

this from a GDQ clip?

[B]

I might have, actually. Yeah.

[D]

That's why I thought it was like, a much higher number because somebody asked these Tetris speedrunners the question and a guy in the back was like, come on. Like, a guy in the audience is like, really?

[B]

That is exactly where I got it. Yes, that's exactly where I got it. Tetra points for me, I believe. I'm trying. I'm trying to remember if the word Tetris is derived from, like, something meaning seven. I could have swore it was, but I can't remember exactly. Somebody double checked me on that. As we move to round number four. This is a quick fire round. Cards cannot be used during this. I'm going to list out the names of indie games. You need to buzz in and tell me whether this game was published by Annapurna Yeah. Deval, Were Digital or Team17? Each correct answer gives you the chance to heal five damage or attack another player for just five contestants. Are you ready?

Yeah.

[C]

Damn.

[B]

Okay, Andy, what's your option here?

[D]

I'm gonna heal.

I'm a lover, not a fighter. I just wanna hang out with my friends on this show. You guys come in. You fucking rub my glass in my eyes. Number everything I've did, Roger, you know what I mean? I should have never given you that money at that fucking New York Comic Con.

[B]

This is the last one. Mundon

[E]

Annapurna.

[B]

Annapurna is the correct answer.

[C]

Seller of dozens of units. Mundon.

[B]

What you doing, Tim? You gonna attack or you gonna heal?

[E]

Oh, heal.

[B]

All right. That's another five points to Tim. We're gonna move on to round number five. Cards are on the table. Number five. 1999's Hot Shots. Golf two was the first in the series to feature crossover characters, including Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal or Sir Daniel Fortescape from Medieval Fortescue. Thank you. From Medieval. And which video game reptile, Tim

[E]

Gex.

[C]

That's the only one I can think of. Right.

[B]

Gex is the correct answer. Do you want to attack or do you want to draw a card? He's going to draw again.

[D]

Ooh, I'm going To say Croc.

[B]

Round six. Bella, Cassandra and Daniela are the names of the three daughters of which horror

[E]

game villain Tim Lady Demetrius from Resident Evil village.

[B]

That is the correct answered him. You're going to draw or you're going to attack? He's being shot.

[E]

Well, I'm just trying to play strategy here. I'm going to draw.

[B]

He's going to draw again.

[D]

There's going to be no more cards left.

[C]

I just feel like we should have done the one on one at the end because like I'm just, I'm just not. I'm not here. You know what I mean? I'm tail tipped.

[B]

We had to get it out the way. People have been asking for it. People have wanted to solve this issue.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

So you had to, you had to front load it. Sadly. Number seven.

[C]

I want a new issue solved. All right? And that's justice.

[B]

Quantic Dream is often known for their decision based cinematic narrative games. Released in 2013, their game Beyond Two Souls starred Elliot Page as Jody and another big celebrity as Nathan Dawkins. Who Greg Willem Defo. William Defo is the correct answer. You going to draw or you going to attack?

[C]

I'll draw.

[B]

Going to draw. We're going to be out of cards soon here. That's where the fun starts. Round eight. Round eight is what I'm going to call a battle precursor round. Whoever gets this question correct not only gets their choice of attacking or drawing, they're also exempt from our 1v1 battle round that you'll hear about later. This is a messy mashup. I'm going to read to you a clue which would be the description of the game. The answer would be the name of two games mashed up together. For example, I might say in this game sneak through top down corridors while defending the earth from alien invasion. The answer would be metal. Gears of War contestants, are you ready?

[C]

Yes.

[D]

So ready.

[B]

A five part zombie series set in a famous comic book universe turns into first person psychological horror starring a Styrian and Kazan. Actors have to look out for each other.

[C]

Tim, he got it.

[E]

The Walking Dead take.

[B]

The Walking Dead take is the correct answer and he's gonna draw. That does bring us to round number nine, which is a battle round. Tim, you're exempt from this. So this is Greg versus Andy. This is a one v one challenge. Cards can't be used during this round. For this round, the rules are simple. I'm gonna list a video game. Your task is to buzz in and tell me what city this game takes place in.

[C]

Like that.

[B]

Each Correct answer hits the other player for five points. Are you ready?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

The division, Greg.

[C]

The original one, New York City.

[B]

That is correct. That's five points away from Andy. Number two, Fallout four. Greg.

[C]

[B]

That is correct. That's another points. Another five points from Andy. Next up, Sleeping Dogs. Andy.

[D]

[B]

Hong Kong is correct.

[D]

Damn.

[B]

I'm Counting down from 10.

[C]

Everything was him.

Liberty New Donk City.

[B]

Next one, Assassin's Creed. Unity.

[D]

[C]

Yeah, I know. I got it. London.

[B]

That is incorrect.

[C]

Damn, they were British.

[D]

Versailles.

[C]

Oh, no, they weren't.

[B]

Versailles. Incorrect. The correct answer would have been Paris.

[E]

Syndicate.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

And the last one, Infamous Second Son.

[C]

Empire City, baby.

[B]

That is incorrect.

[C]

Infamous Second Son. Oh, Andy.

[D]

Seattle.

[C]

Seattle. I was so excited. Infamous. I was just, like, locked in. Colin McGrath. Let's fucking go, Zeke.

[B]

You said that with such confidence that

[C]

I was like, am I wrong?

[B]

Is that what they actually call it?

[C]

That's good.

[D]

Oh, man.

[B]

Barrett, can we get a score? Reconnaissance? Fuck you.

[D]

The score as it stands right now in last place. But there's still plenty of game left to go.

[B]

Can he carry the momentum that Mike

[D]

began at the beginning of this episode? It's Andy Cortez with team purple with 80 points.

[C]

Good morning, Night City.

[D]

That's all I was thinking. I couldn't hear it.

[B]

In second place, it is the man

[D]

who deservedly lost the star at the beginning of this episode. It is Greg Miller for team blue

[B]

with 105 points and in the lead.

[D]

He's playing the long game today.

[B]

Will it pay off for him? It is Tim Geddes with 110 points, but it's still anybody's game. We got a lot more game left, and I'm really excited to see what Tim does with all those cards. But before we continue, I want to tell you about patreon.com kindafunny and YouTube.com kind of funny games where you can get the kind of funny membership which allows you to get shows ad free.

We're back with round number 10. Cards are back on the table so they can be used. Round number 10. Mario Tennis for the N64 features many types of tennis shots. You can perform depending on different button combinations by pressing the A and B buttons, including a lob, a drop shot, a top spin, and which type of shot activated by just pressing the B button. Tim, Slice. Slice is the correct.

[E]

You're fucking crazy, guys.

[D]

Like, I had it.

[E]

How did I know that I had it? That shouldn't be in there.

[C]

Well, you'd have to fight for a

[D]

star that was right for the years to start.

[B]

You decided to draw another card. Round number.

[C]

You know it's gonna end because you don't have enough rounds to play all these cards.

[E]

My cards were bad.

[B]

Round number 11. The max pain games don't have auto regenerative health like many modern games. Inst. What does the protagonist?

[C]

Painkillers.

[B]

Painkillers is the correct answer.

[E]

What you gonna say? Drugs?

[B]

What you gonna do? You're gonna attack? Are you gonna.

[C]

Well, it's like I'd like to attack, but Tim's got everything in the world to fight back with. I don't know what's gonna happen. So instead, just for having the audacity to fuck me over Team Purple, I'm going to attack Team Purple and I will attack them for 25 damage. How did I fuck you over Team Purple? When you stole that, I used my

[D]

heist card and steal that from you.

[B]

Now can you read what that first card does for the audience?

[C]

Sure. My. I said I was using the gravity hammer. Play while attacking. Attack one player for 25 damage.

[B]

Cool. And as the as Greg did that. Andy, what was that card you played?

[D]

The heist card that says play right. As someone plays a card and it says steal that card.

[B]

Go ahead and steal that card. That's yours now. And you don't get hit for the damage.

[C]

Do it to Tim. Hit it. Use it on Tim. I've always been in your corner.

[B]

Say it again.

[E]

Read it again. What? Can you read that again?

[B]

Round number 12.

[C]

One of Tim's cards is get somebody to read the card twice. Get three points.

[B]

What tagline was given to the Little Big Planet games condensing their core gameplay loop into three Play Create Share. Play Create Share is the correct answer.

[C]

Take the last card.

[B]

He's taking the last card. Which means we can't draw.

[C]

There's two cards.

[E]

Want the card?

[C]

I went to card.

[B]

They win the mini round 13 Ultimate Ninja Storm is the subtitle given to the Fighting Game series of which popular Tim?

[E]

Naruto.

[B]

Naruto is the correct answer.

[D]

There you go.

[B]

Tim draws the last card. Round number 14. This is another battle precursor round. Whoever gets this question correct not only gets their choice of attacking or drawing, they're also exempt from our following 1v1 round. This is a numbers game. I'm going to ask you the number of a certain thing. You'll get the chance to guess a number with no repeat guesses allowed. Whoever gets the closest without going over will get the points. If you all go over, then lowest guess gets the points. Are you ready?

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Including the Zombie army spin off games.

[C]

Ah, shit.

[B]

How many games are in the Sniper Elite series? We're going to start off with Tim, since you're in first place here.

[C]

And not counting the spin offs. I'm sorry.

[B]

Including the spinoffs. Including the Zombie army spin off games, how many games are there in the Sniper Elite series?

[E]

Six.

[B]

Tim says six. Greg,

[C]

I don't like. I don't like Andy being here. I wish I was going last, you know? Also, I just don't like Andy. He's a criminal. Ah.

[B]

I'm gonna say Greg says 7. Andy, what say you? Eight. Andy says eight.

[C]

Look like 13.

[B]

The correct answer is 12. There are 12 games in the Zombie army series. Meaning Andy, you have your choice to draw or attack. And you're also exempt from the following 1v1.

[C]

What?

[B]

So you can draw a card or you can attack.

[E]

But.

[D]

But I'm still exempt, right?

[B]

Yeah, you're still. Yeah, you're still exempt.

[D]

I'll draw a card.

[B]

I'm gonna draw a card. Bringing us to round number 15. It's another battle round. This is between Tim and Greg. Cards cannot be used during this round. This is a 1v1 challenge that I need you to bust out your whiteboards for.

[C]

Yeah. Let's draw some stuff.

[B]

Whoever wins this round will deal 20 damage to the other player. If you tie, you each receive 10 damage.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

On the North American box art of PlayStation All Stars battle royale.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

There are eight characters displayed. I want you to write down the names of these characters. You get eight slots. Whoever can list more correct characters. When you have one minute on the clock and go again. I am asking for the characters displayed. On the PlayStation all star battle royale box art, there are eight characters neck

[D]

and neck right now.

[C]

Wow.

[B]

There are eight characters displayed. You have eight slots to work with here.

[D]

Greg wrote Tommy Pickles.

[B]

By the way, I love how both of them locked in as soon as they heard the question. Wasting no. No time.

[D]

I would have gotten. I'm like, one of these.

[B]

I like.

[D]

I'm not good at this game.

[B]

I did a test of this one with, I think, Roger and Barrett. It was very interesting to see.

[C]

Like, you said eight.

[D]

Eight.

[B]

Yeah. Eight slots. You got eight seconds left on the board. Five, four, three, two. And we're gonna start off with Tim. Tim, what are your answers here?

[E]

I have Sweet Tooth Nathan, Drake, Toro.

[C]

Nailed it.

[E]

Fat Princess, Raiden, Zeke.

[D]

That's how it's spelled.

[E]

Zeke before I. E. Kratos.

[B]

Did he say Kratos twice or just once?

[C]

He did not say Kratos. Oh, no.

[D]

Just once.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

I'm sorry.

[B]

Apologize. Okay, cool, cool, cool.

[C]

Nice job on Zeke, though. Good pull on Zeke.

[D]

Who the fuck is Zeke?

[C]

He wasn't on the COVID He's Cole's best friend in Infamous. Not Infamous. Second Son, notably. Very different.

[B]

Can you say those one more time for me?

[E]

Sweet Tooth Nathan, Drake, Toro, Fat Princess, Raiden, Zeke, Kratos.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

He's very big in Japan. He's very big. He was a Japan character.

[B]

Greg, what you got for me?

[C]

I have Kratos, Sackboy, Sweet Tooth Drake, as in Nathan Drake, of course. Toro with the leak. I put that in there. Very important. That's always a big part of him. Ratchet from Ratchet and Clank. Patapon, which I know isn't there, and then a very hastily written coal at the end from Infamous.

[B]

All right, all right, all right.

[C]

The actual Tora is the little kitty cat that has.

[E]

But I don't know, he might be.

[C]

He's huge in Japan. He was very much like one of those.

[E]

He's my PSN avatar now.

[B]

Yeah. Forever and always keep me honest by reading. Reading yours while I'm Kratos, Sackboy, Sweet

[C]

Tooth Drake, Toro with the leak, Ratchet, Patapon, Cole.

[D]

Greg, I'm not trying to call you out. How does that look like? Cole? That looks like PM Prime Minister.

[C]

I will admit it is very badly written, but again, if you will go back at the tape, it was this. If you don't give it to me, don't give it to me. But I wouldn't. Yeah, it's either PM or coal.

[B]

Wait, that's supposed to say cool or.

[C]

Yes, it's supposed to say coal, but I admit, it's horrible writing.

[D]

I think he won anyway, though.

[C]

I don't think I did. I. Fat Princess is a dynamite grab by Tim. I.

[B]

Well, I. I guess the coal thing actually doesn't matter because Col isn't on the box.

[C]

Sorry.

[B]

The actual Answer is Kratos. Nathan, Drake Bear. Has it pulled up? You killed me, Biden, Ratchet, Sly Cooper, Sackboy, and Fat Princess.

[C]

Yeah, but you had Raiden. You had Fat Princess.

[E]

I didn't have Sackboy.

[C]

Oh, then I don't know what this means.

[B]

So what it means is that. And keep me honest on this, I count four for each of you.

[E]

Yeah, we're tied.

[B]

We're tied.

[C]

All right.

[B]

That means each of you.

[E]

Oro's not there, right?

[B]

Oro's not there. Okay.

[C]

But I think I should probably get a point for saying Toro with the leak, because that was a big deal.

[E]

I pulled Toro.

[C]

And I'm proud of you for that.

[B]

I'm shocked.

[D]

You both.

[B]

Yeah. Wrote down Toro, but yes, that means both of you will lose 10 points for.

[E]

I also can't believe that Zeke is a real character, Dave. I was like one of those infamous fuckers. Everyone was mad about everyone being Greg. Greg was so mad.

[C]

I was mad about Zeke. All right.

[E]

Mad about something.

[C]

Mad about Cole's redesign.

[B]

Mad about.

[C]

You gotta remember that show. Mad about you, baby.

[D]

Oh.

[B]

We're gonna move on to round number 16. I'm gonna do that, though. Oh, why not?

[E]

Make things interesting.

[C]

Yeah, let's just make it so many cars.

[E]

Let's just do everything. Let's see. You know what do you really get that many questions shouldn't have made such a big con. Like, big. He's really declaration there. I'm just gonna do a steal. 10 points from another player. I am going to go. Andy, pick up or down?

[D]

Down.

[E]

Sorry, Andy. Sorry, Leech. Life.

[C]

Leech.

[B]

Go ahead and place that in the discard.

[D]

Damn, it's tough.

[B]

Wow.

[D]

Really didn't need that.

[B]

You gonna stop there? You got more to go?

[E]

That's it for now.

[B]

All right. That's it for now. Round number 16, Andy.

[D]

I'm gonna life lesion. Steal back from Tim.

[B]

There you go.

[C]

Damn.

[B]

All of you guys are just trading the points back and forth.

[D]

Yeah, I need those points, Dan.

[C]

Fair.

[D]

Don't fuck me like that.

[E]

That's fair.

[D]

That's right. I'll never do fucking like that.

[B]

Now, keep your whiteboards in front of you for this next round, because this is a betting round. Cards also cannot be used during this round. I'm going to ask you a question, and you'll have a minute to write down your answers. But before I ask, each of you will need to bet a certain amount of points. The topic is short and tall video game characters. How many points are you guys betting? Let's start with Tim.

[E]

Can I ask a little more questions about the format of this. Is this one answer or is this multiple answers?

[B]

This. How much do I want to tell you here?

[C]

Nothing.

[B]

Roger said. Roger says tell you nothing. I'm gonna say. I'm not going to tell you.

[G]

All right, fine.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Roger really doesn't want me to tell you anything. Cool.

[E]

I'm going to go 20.

[B]

All right. Tim's betting 20 points. Greg, how many are you betting?

[C]

Let's do 40. Whoa.

[B]

Andy, how much you bet?

[C]

There's one thing I know is short and tall, guys.

[D]

All right, 79 points.

[B]

Do you want to do me a favor and round that to, like, an even? There's 75.

[D]

I just wanted to see one because I thought it'd be funny if I lost one point.

[B]

I don't know if we're formatted for that. It might be formatted. Yeah. Barrett says it's fine.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[D]

Typing numbers.

[B]

If that breaks anything. We'll figure it out later.

[D]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

It just does matter. Yeah, look, he's got it right there.

[D]

I didn't know. Night City.

[C]

Oh, we took the points now I see.

[B]

Thank you. Thank you. So Greg had bet 40. Tim bet 20. Andy bet 79. The question.

[C]

I want to change it. Just bet it all.

[B]

Fuck.

[C]

I did the math, and I'm like, wait, no, that's not gonna. If. So, if. What am I doing?

[B]

I mean, are you sure?

[C]

Yeah. Fuck it. All right. I'm already.

[E]

Fuck. If you're wrong, then you just instantly lose.

[C]

Cool. I've already been destroyed from a moral and, of course, objective standpoint. You are all watching. Tim has 72 cards. He deserves to win. He deserves to win.

[E]

No, no, no.

[C]

I'm just saying, like. But if I don't. If I don't. If I don't do the usual Greg Miller, slimy, schemy, win it somehow bullshit way, it's not gonna happen. We all know who's got the talent.

[B]

All right, Greg. I looked at it, and I'm like,

[C]

I don't know what's about to happen. So it's like, the only question I knew was tennis. If I buzz it first, if I got the 40 points back and Tim also gets it, I'm not gonna beat Tim. So it's like, well, fucking just take it. I don't know.

[B]

Yeah, but. And Tim doesn't get it. You know, Tim.

[D]

Ride or die, Greg. I like this.

[C]

What are we doing? Be a man, Tim. Put them all in.

[B]

The question goes like this. Who are the tallest and shortest characters in Super Smash Bros? Ultimate. If you get one of these right, you get the same amount of points back. So you get back to where you. To where you were. If you get both of them right, you get double the points. And so are you in order or something or. No, just two. So who's the tallest and who's the shortest character in the game? In Super Smash Bros. Old Ultimate? So again, Greg having bet 95 points, if he gets one of these right, he'll get back those 95. If he gets both of them right, he gets 95.

[C]

2.

[B]

190. That took me a second into my head, guys. Question is, who are the tallest and shortest?

[D]

So we're just writing two people.

[B]

Two people. You're writing down the.

[C]

Damn, dude.

[B]

The tallest character in Smash ultimate and the shortest character, character in Smash Ultimate.

[D]

Okay,

[B]

looks like Tim has his locked in.

[E]

I'm stressing, man.

[B]

And did you have. You have yours locked in?

[C]

Oh, yeah, I'm just doing. Oh, okay.

[B]

We're all. We're all locked in, so we don't even need the rest of the timer. Let's start.

[C]

Oh, maybe it would have been him.

[B]

Let's start with Andy.

[D]

My tallest character is Ganondorf.

[C]

Yeah, that's a good one.

[D]

I should have. And my shortest is Pichu.

[B]

All right, Greg, I don't know if

[D]

we're going by lore or, like, how they actually look.

[C]

I'm saying tallest Captain Falcon, but I would have said Gannon if I would have thought it in time. And then shortest Mr. Game and Watch.

[B]

All right, and then Tim, this gets

[E]

so tough with the lore and the size. And how tall are they standing? Your Hitbox. What are we dealing with? Biggest. Tallest. Ridley. Smallest. Olimar.

[B]

So the correct answer, the. For the tallest character, you have Ridley.

[D]

Damn.

[B]

Ridley is 2.9 meters tall. That's 9ft, 6 inches. And that's going from the base of his head. Standing with, like, his neck stretched. Is Ridley's the tallest good?

[C]

Are we sure he's a boy?

[B]

Actually, I have no idea. Okay, and then the shortest. Pichu. Yeah, Pichu stands at 0.8 meters tall. That's 2ft, 7 inches. He's 1 foot in Pokemon, but the size is increased for Smash Bros. That's all. Talking about tiny. I mean, apparently smaller than all of them.

[E]

I'd like to know the numbers.

[D]

They're not going.

[B]

Somebody can find the numbers for us.

[E]

I would like to know the numbers, but it's okay. It's okay. I'll accept it.

[B]

What that means is that Indy gets the same amount of Points back. So if he can get back his 79 points, which he did, he's back up to 80. Tim gets the same amount of points back. So Tim is back up to whatever that was 120. It was 120, right?

[D]

No, he was at 80 before he bet 20.

[B]

So now he's back to 100. Oh, well, I thought Andy was at 80 before. I think Tim was at 120 before I did.

[D]

I did a lead track.

[B]

Tim was at 100 before.

[E]

This is right.

[B]

Oh, this is right. Okay.

[D]

I just.

[B]

I just canceled out this week.

[C]

We'll sort it out next week. It's fine. What happens here on the playing field doesn't matter.

[E]

So we were just playing for what we bet to get back?

[B]

Well, if you got to get both correct, you would have gotten even more points.

[C]

Got it?

[E]

Yeah, got it.

[B]

Cool. And then Greg got neither correct. And so Greg is rip.

[D]

You should have done one point.

[C]

I'm all in today, buddy. They can't fuck me harder than they fucked me to start the show. I mean, you tie. I came around the corner excited for a game show.

[B]

What happens at a tie? Usually a tiebreaker.

[D]

Did I fuck up?

[C]

Yeah, what happens? It usually does, and it didn't. So this call, the rule on the field stands. Look, remember that football game where they had to come out in their towels to fucking finish? That's what just happened here. Except it was three weeks later.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You know what I'm talking about? You know what I'm talking about. Roger, just because you don't care about sports doesn't mean other people don't care about sports. Right. And you don't have a microphone. Roger, just calm down, all right? On your little notepad. How to fuck me next week. Go ahead for it.

[B]

Have fun.

[E]

I need y' all to understand. There's a moment. You need to rewind the tape and look at me. I've never thought deeper about is Olimar taller than Pichu?

[C]

But I like that you've thought about it before.

[E]

I have. Because Pichu, when he runs, he's so small and load of the ground. But it's when he stands, man.

[D]

But in real life, Olimar is like a centimeter.

[E]

He's a little tiny guy.

[D]

So it's definitely just Smash Bros in game.

[C]

This brings a game. Playing a game. All right. Redacted. I don't know when this goes up. Oh, and they make a comment about how small this guy's dick is.

[F]

I looked at.

[C]

I was pretty good looking dick. So I don't even know. You know what I mean? I don't even know.

[B]

I think I'm playing the same game and had the same thought.

[C]

It was like that was a small dick. You know what I mean?

[B]

That's fucking.

[C]

God damn it, Roger.

[B]

Well, Greg's out of the game, meaning that is now down to Andy and Tim. And that does bring us to our 17th and final round. Our final round.

[E]

Shit, that puts me in a bad spot.

[B]

This final round is called all out War. Different from before. In this quick fire round, each correct answer gives you the chance to heal 10 points or attack another player for 10. There's no drawing cards. However, you can use the cards that you have.

[C]

So I'm not out. I'm still playing?

[B]

No, you're out because you have zero points.

[C]

Oh, okay.

[B]

Yeah, I said that the beginning of the show.

[C]

Oh, sorry. I didn't pay attention.

[B]

That's okay.

[C]

All right, see you guys later.

[B]

All right.

[D]

Secret meaning, like you can't. Oh, you couldn't have.

[C]

You know what I mean? No, not this. That's fine. I don't give a about that. How would I remember that? Everybody, I just got punched in the face.

[B]

I tried to stop you.

[C]

Do you really want to give all the points? You know what I mean?

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Do you really want to do all the points? Maybe you should have said that. That would be out of the game then.

[B]

I don't know if I could have said any clear at the top of the show.

[C]

I had just gotten punched in the face.

[D]

Greg, think of all the portrait modes where I drew full bodies and you drew a shoulders up and they're like, yeah, that looks great. Greg. Like, yeah, Andy has those legs. Greg just drew ahead.

[C]

Apparently if you can get enough to people in the chat to stump for you, they'll reverse the decision to make you fight for the same point.

[D]

That was the funny that I will.

[C]

So I'll tell you what, everybody, if you're upset at the portrait mode decisions from the past, go ahead and B.S. that's blue sky, Tim. B.S. yes, blessing. And then maybe we can re compete for the season three championship again.

[B]

It was Roger's idea to do the tiebreaker, guys.

[D]

Roger, great job. Roger.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

Roger.

[D]

Roger, great job.

[B]

Great job on the graphics.

[C]

What a surprise. Sports fanatic. Roger doesn't know how it's supposed to go when there's a competition between two titans. Now you want to rerun the elections too? What are we doing?

[D]

It was really funny that day in Slack where Greg messaged everybody and said, hey, guys, there's kind of a controversy happening in the chat, in the comment section. Like, don't go read it. I'll deal with it. And it just so happened that everybody was like, hey, it's a tie. It's a tie.

[B]

It's a tie. God. Okay, so as a reminder, coming into this final round, it's all out war. So what that means is that if you get a correct answer, you can either heal for 10 points or you can attack another player for 10 points. There's no drawing, but you can use the cards that are in your hand. Greg sucks that you're out for this one, because this is the return of publisher puns. I'm going to give you short puns slash clues. Each of the answers to these clues is a video game publisher. Contestants, are you ready?

[C]

No, Tim, I'm playing with you. You want me come sit in your chair with you? No. You sure?

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

You sure? Change your mind. Let me.

[E]

There's like, no winning.

[C]

You know what I mean?

[E]

Even when it's helpful, I hate it.

[C]

Do you want my cards, too? I give you my cards.

[B]

It sounds like a deal with the devil he's trying to make with you. First round, it's like Disneyland, but for technology.

[C]

Buzzing. Tim, I'm just gonna say it. Buzzing. I don't like it. Buzz in. Buzzing. I'm playing the game that blessing and

[E]

Roger work so hard to put on for us.

[C]

I don't want to buzz.

[D]

No.

[C]

Andy.

[D]

Techland.

[B]

Techland is correct. So you want to heal for 10 or attack? I'm coming to you. Security. I'm a fucking menace.

[C]

What are the rules?

[B]

You can attack 10 for 10. You can heal for 10. You play card if you want to.

[D]

I will. I'll heal for 10.

[B]

He's gonna heal for 10, bringing 1 to 90, keeping it competitive. Next one.

[D]

I can't take your cards.

[C]

Yeah, you can't take your water.

[B]

Yeah. No, that one. I'm not gonna lie. If he wants to tell you the answer, I don't give a. If you. If you. If you just turn this device, you get a flow of water. And if you wait long enough, maybe even a new video game. If you just turn this device, you get a flow of water. And if you wait long enough, maybe even a new video game.

[C]

Buzz in. Buzz in. Oh, you guys are no fun. I'm going home. Wasting my time. No justice.

[E]

Can you say it again?

[B]

If you just turn this device, you get a flow of water. And if you wait long enough, maybe even a new video game.

[E]

Tim, I'm so Sorry to do this to you, Andy. It's valve.

[B]

Valve is the correct answer.

[D]

That makes sense.

[E]

And I'm gonna.

[B]

I was gonna say turn. Oh, no.

[E]

Like I'm gonna him up.

[C]

Oh, okay.

[E]

So I attack four.

[B]

Yeah, for the 10.

[E]

For the 10. And while I do that.

[D]

So you're taking 10.

[B]

He's gonna. He's attacking you for 10.

[E]

But I can still use both of my gravity hammers.

[B]

That you can't.

[D]

That's gonna take me down to 30 points.

[E]

No, it's not. Not each one's worth 25 damage. So that's an extra 50.

[B]

That is. That is.

[D]

Oh, I was doing the math from here.

[B]

I think that's supposed to be like you're attacking. You're basically turning your 10 damage for your turn into that 25 damage.

[E]

You make the rules.

[B]

Yeah, I'm just here, by the way. You're gonna take 25 damage from the one gravity hammer. I think the second one you're gonna have to want to hold for when you get the next question right and then play it there.

[D]

I see.

[B]

Yes.

[D]

You're replacing the.

[B]

Replacing the 10 damage with that. With that.

[D]

It's not just free willing points all over the place.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Chill out.

[D]

Ten. Jesus, so violent.

[B]

Going ham over there.

[E]

I'm trying to be a fair gamer.

[D]

Go drop a car to be like, I take your Honda Civ. Oh my God.

[B]

Next one. Hola, Juegos. Bonjour. Or in English, this. Andy.

[D]

Hello, games.

[B]

Hello, games. Is the correct answer. How much did I fuck that up? I meant to practice the pronunciation before this.

[D]

Instead of taking the 10, I'm going to take the 25 with a gravity hammer.

[B]

There you go. That's 25 damage to Tim. Or is it? Or is it?

[E]

Can I use my. And I'll understand if I cannot. Can I use my reflector to redirect an attack at another player?

[B]

Yes, you can. Yes you can.

[E]

Shit.

[D]

God damn it. All right, now all those cards really did matter, huh?

[B]

Yeah, no, Tim knew the strategy right away.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Next one. We used to call my buddies the Pouch Duo. But they changed locations and now they go by this instead of Andy.

[D]

Pocket pair.

[B]

Pocket pair is the correct answer. What you gonna do,

[D]

take 10 from him?

[B]

Are you gonna attack him for.

[D]

Yeah, attack him.

[B]

All right. That is 10 damage to Tim. Is he well?

[E]

Oh, son of a. I'm gonna use my shield.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Can you read what that does?

[E]

It protects me. I take no damage.

[B]

All right, there you go.

[D]

This is.

[E]

Shouldn't have used it there. I should have Saved it.

[C]

It.

[B]

The next one Round number cards.

[D]

You.

[B]

Oh, was that your last card?

[D]

No.

[B]

Round five.

[D]

This one takes away 700 points. Watch out.

[B]

The opposite of lightning. Empty. The opposite of lightning. Empty. Tim.

[D]

Sorry.

[E]

It's thunderful.

[B]

Thunderf is the correct answer.

[E]

And I'm going to attack with the force of the north. My gravity hammer.

[B]

All right. I think isn't the opposite from Thunder 25. You know, I have to stretch with these. These aren't easy to make.

[D]

I'm thinking like dull, grounded, something like.

[B]

Next one. If Ness's replacement got into drawing and painting. Tim.

[E]

Lucasarts.

[B]

Lucasarts is the correct answer. Holy shit.

[D]

That little fuck.

[B]

Tim, what you gonna do?

[C]

Just finish him. Get me out of here.

[E]

I'm gonna take. I'm trying to think strategic. I don't know at this point what's the best thing to do. I'll take the 10 points.

[B]

Okay. So Tim's gonna heal another 10 points. Next one. A tool used to capture in the opposite of difficult. Andy.

[D]

Net Ease.

[B]

Net Ease is the correct answer.

[D]

I should look.

[C]

I should win. The last time we did a publisher

[D]

game, I had none. Right? Give me the bonus points. Dude, where's Mike? Where is.

[C]

He took the hat.

[D]

I mean, I need him here.

[B]

You can also heal the 10 points. I don't know if there's anything you could do to. To stop that. I can't confirm nor deny, though it's been a while since I looked at these cards.

[D]

I'm gonna heal.

[B]

He's gonna heal for the 10 points. Finally.

[D]

He has universal healthcare over there.

[E]

Oh, you don't even know.

[B]

Look into this for a closer view, but end it like an adverb. This is the toughest one. Look into this for a closer view, but end it like an adverb. Tim.

[E]

Oh, man. No, I'm Microsoft.

[B]

That is incorrect.

[E]

No, I was thinking microscope.

[D]

That's not bad. That's not bad.

[E]

I got antsy.

[B]

Andy, do you got it?

[D]

Look in for a closer view.

[B]

Look into this for a closer view, but end it like an adverb.

[D]

Greg, what is he. Are you me? Scopely.

[B]

You want to buzz in and say that Scopely. Scopely is the correct.

[C]

Never heard that.

[E]

Monopoly Go.

[B]

Like you haven't heard of this publisher or you. No, never heard of the publisher. Yeah, yeah. I don't believe Monopoly Go. Of course, you had a lot of adverbs with ly. I thought it was clever there. What do you want to do there?

[D]

Heal.

[B]

All right. He's going to heal for 60, and that does bring us to the end of that round and the end of the game. Barrett, what's the final score?

[D]

Damn, I let you down, Mike.

[B]

The final score knocked out earlier on in the game, hitting zero points.

[D]

Betting it all, it was Greg Miller

[B]

for team Blue with zero. In second place, a hard fought battle.

[C]

Stupid cars.

[B]

And even though he doesn't get a star right now, at least he got

[D]

a star at the beginning of this episode.

[B]

It was Andy Cortez for team purple with 60 points. And the man with the Strats, it was Tim Gettys for team orange with 85. Poll lightning. Bless.

[E]

Good night. Would you prefer I don't say what? One of these?

[B]

No, go for it. You say whatever.

[E]

I just want to let y' all know how I thought this was gonna go. I thought I was gonna be able to just ground pound them with a bunch of cards, get both their damage down and have them both target me. All right?

[C]

Their.

[E]

Their ire would be on me and I would have had a card. Extra life. You rise from the dead when you hit zero points.

[B]

Can I be very honest? I totally assumed Greg had that card, which is why I was like, oh, he wants to bet at all. I'll just let him do it because he's gonna rise from. I didn't think that he was just being rec. Didn't realize that I said at the beginning of the game that he was gonna die. Congratulations.

[E]

That was a good one.

[D]

I disagree.

[B]

If you can bring up the star standing so we can catch up with the entire season. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Because we came into this episode with team Blue in the lead with two stars. But because the events of this episode, Team Blue is now in last place with one star, Team Purple sitting at two, and team Orange is also now sitting at two stars.

[D]

Mike, we're gonna need you. I mean, you just gotta keep on carrying like, I can't do it. It. I don't even know Night city. All right, look, I can't think of basic words.

[B]

Of course. This I don't belong on this show has been game showdown. Your nerdy trivia show will be back next week with another episode.

[C]

Maybe ask me to draw a game cover. Oh, wait, I wasn't on that episode.

[B]

Okay, you complain every single time.

[C]

That's the only episode I've been asking for. What are we gonna do? The one in the example you gave every week blessing. When are we gonna do that one? Let me draw a game cover. I could draw Grand Theft Auto.

[E]

I think it's great.

[C]

What does a fucking acrobat look like? I'll draw a bat. No, it's not close enough. Tim drew a human that's closer to the bat.

[B]

Until next time, it's been our pleasure to serve you.

[D]

I'm sorry, everybody.
