Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
The reps in for season three. We'll talk about that much later. Not today. Not today, but much later.
Greg Miller
Where's the recount I asked for? All right. I asked for a recount of the points from Katie G for season one never got them. Season two never got him. What are you hiding? Bless.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
I don't like you invoking recounts during election.
Greg Miller
Stop the steel everybody.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
I feel like time for that.
Andy Cortez
You define me. 11000 votes.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
We're gonna start off with a trivia question worth 10 points and the chance to go first in kind of feudi. Contestants buzz in to answer. This is another edition of List Shit. If you remember from the season finale of last season we had we have this show called Shit List. List is the reverse of it. Right. And so we in Shit list you try to guess games that'll be On a top 10 list in this round.
Andy Cortez
So good.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
I'm passing you with the reverse. And so I'm going to list one. Did you win this one?
Greg Miller
You just said you. Yeah, well now I remember it then. Now that you explained it, it was Bandai Namco games.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
There you go. I'm going to list entries into a top 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 once per entry. Contestants, are you ready?
Greg Miller
Ready. I don't like that Tim just did performance enhancing drugs. I don't know what he snorted there but he did something. What did you take a hit of? Would you take a hit of?
Tim Gettys
What was it?
Greg Miller
He did this. I'm ready. Let's go. You know what I mean? Rewind the tape. Katie.
Andy Cortez
What did he put in his pocket?
Greg Miller
It's weird he's wearing this shirt. I've never seen this shirt before. What is it? Is it a magic eye? The kind of few dances are on it. What are you doing?
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Every single time now, this isn't a ranked list that we're doing, but it is ordered.
Greg Miller
Okay?
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
All right. That's the only way I'm going to preface it. At number 10, you got the Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask. That's your number.
Greg Miller
Will you ever be like most off the wall sequels?
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
That is incorrect.
Greg Miller
Thank you, Andy.
Andy Cortez
Where you're asking, will you ever be like, no more guesses for you?
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Well, we get one guest. Okay, well, no, I'm thinking like, you know, right now is one more guesses for Greg until I read the next.
Andy Cortez
No, but I'm saying like, if he gets to number three and I've guessed three times, it blesses like. All right, that's your third and final guess. You're out. Now that. That won't happen.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
I don't know what you're asking me right now.
Greg Miller
Play the game. It'll become obvious as you play.
Barrett Courtney
You get one guess per game revealed.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Yeah.
Andy Cortez
Suggesting a rule. I don't think you should be guessing every time is what I'm saying.
Greg Miller
Every time.
Andy Cortez
Yeah, but like, if we get to number seven and you're naming the seventh game and you know, maybe I decided not to guess any of those prior three rounds because I'm worried about wasting against.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
So you want to bank suggestion? No, you can't do that.
Andy Cortez
Keep it in mind.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Yeah, I like the thought process.
Andy Cortez
There's some rules.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
But no, that's a terrible idea.
Andy Cortez
I'm just gonna buzz in every time, then just say something.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Yes, that's the whole point.
Andy Cortez
But like, you know, you know, maybe we don't have to do that. Maybe fix things, you know, it's off season.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
You don't want to play the game.
Andy Cortez
Experimenting. Yeah.
Greg Miller
You're giving Tim more time to think. I hate.
Andy Cortez
Yeah, to think Zelda. Zelda games.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
That's incorrect. Damn, Tim, you got a guess.
Tim Gettys
Just best sequels.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
That is incorrect. At number nine, we got Final Fantasy 10.
Andy Cortez
What was the first one?
Greg Miller
Majora's mask.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
As a reminder, this list isn't ranked, but it is ordered.
Andy Cortez
Andy Cortez games with a big moon.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
That is incorrect.
Andy Cortez
Okay, I wasn't sure. I don't know.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Is there a big moon in Final Fantasy 10?
Andy Cortez
I mean, I feel they go hand in hand. You tell me. There hasn't been a moon in any Final Fantasy game.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
After that we got Grand Theft Auto, Vice City. So again, the first entry at the top, you had the Legend of Zelda, Majora's Mask. After that you had Final Fantasy 10. After that you have Grand Theft Auto Vice City, Tim Gettys.
Tim Gettys
This. I feel like I'm wrong about something here, but best games to come out in 2001.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
That is incorrect. Greg Miller.
Greg Miller
Really good soundtracks.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
That is incorrect. Andy Cortez.
Andy Cortez
Best games of the 2000s. The OTS.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
That is incorrect. Next up, Star Wars, Knights of the Old Republic. So again, it has been the Legend of Zelda, Majora's mask, Final Fantasy 10, Grand Theft Auto, Vice City, Greg Miller.
Greg Miller
Best games of that generation. You know, the PS2, Xbox One, that era and 64 playing loose with it. They crossed over a bit.
Tim Gettys
I knew it didn't come out 2001 either.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
That is incorrect. So then you have Zelda, Majora's mask, Final Fantasy 10, Grand Theft Auto, Vice City, and Star Wars. Knights of the Old Republic, in that order. Next up, Metal Gear Solid three, Snake Eater.
Greg Miller
Wow.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
It's fun looking at chat because I think I see somebody in chat has it. I give my life.
Tim Gettys
I love that. I can't find any Kevin Bacon. Do it all. You know what I mean?
Andy Cortez
Yeah.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Next in the list, Resident Evil 4. So again, Zelda, Majora's Mask, Final Fantasy 10, GTA, Vice City, Star Wars, Knights of the Old Republic, Metal Gear Solid 3, Snake Eater, Resident Evil 4. Greg Miller.
Greg Miller
I'm not gonna get the adjective right, but best console exclusives. But we're talking exclusives.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
That is incorrect.
Andy Cortez
I think you move your head more.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
This next one is fun one. Bully. Bully is the entry in this list after Resident Evil 4.
Andy Cortez
Damn.
Greg Miller
You know, that, like, broke the mold for the franchise.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Greg Miller. That is incorrect.
Greg Miller
Thank you. I appreciate you.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Appreciate you.
Greg Miller
I could wear a mocha sweatshirt like Blessed does. He looks so good.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Is that what you call mocha? I can see the mocha in it.
Greg Miller
Tim will call it burnt orange because he's an idiot.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
This is probably like my most complimented sweatshirt.
Greg Miller
Yeah, good.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Thank you. And number three, or I guess next in this list.
Greg Miller
Be careful.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
The ones.
Greg Miller
Because my.
Andy Cortez
Be careful.
Greg Miller
All right. Just be careful. I think you need to be careful. A long, long time ago, my mom was getting out of her car in the dark, and she was wearing a jacket that had those kind of balls at the end of them, you know, on the strings there, the thing. And it got caught in her car. And it was so dark that when it came, she. She didn't realize what it was caught on whatever she yanked back. If I'm lying, I'm dying. It came back. The ball hit her in the eye, shattered her contact, drove it into her eye. She almost went blind. Yeah. So Just be careful. A lot of. A lot of bad things. A lot of bad things could happen.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
I'm gonna cut these things off now. Jesus.
Andy Cortez
Final Destination.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
What was the last game? I said? Okay, next up is Halo 3. Halo 3 is the next game after Bully.
Tim Gettys
All of these are sequels except for Knights of the Old Republic.
Andy Cortez
That Bully.
Tim Gettys
Oh, and Bully. Yeah.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
After Halo 3, Fallout 3, that's the ninth game listed on this list is Fallout 3, the final game. Greg Miller.
Greg Miller
This counts as the last one, not this new one.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Correct.
Greg Miller
Where you play as the bad guy.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
That is incorrect.
Greg Miller
Thank you.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Our final game on this list, our tenth game here, Uncharted 2Among Thieves. So starting at the top, you have. You guys each have one chance left to guess here. Starting at the top, you have Zelda, Majora's mask, Final Fantasy 10, GTA, Vice City, Star Wars, Knights of the Old Republic, Metal Gear Solid 3, Snake Eater, Resident Evil 4, Bully, Halo 3, Fallout 3, Uncharted 2Among Thieves. Not a ranked list, but it is an ordered list.
Tim Gettys
Tim Gettys, Games that have received tens.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
That is incorrect. Andy Cortez.
Andy Cortez
Games that have no. Anytime we. Anytime we mention an era, Bless always gave us a look of like, I don't think that that's right. And I'm not going to give you that answer. That's what I was reading. Anytime we gave, like, anytime. Anytime we gave a 90s answer or like a 2000 answer, he was like a no. It was like he was thinking, I don't want to give that to him. But there's a. There's a time thing here.
Greg Miller
There's something going on. I think we're in the same. Did you already have you answered?
Andy Cortez
I'm saying best games of the 20th century.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
That is incorrect.
Andy Cortez
Yeah.
Greg Miller
Greg Miller, 10K. 10 games that came out after the assassination of JFK.
Andy Cortez
Oh, that's a good one.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
That is incorrect, meaning nobody got the correct.
Greg Miller
November 1963. Put it in there.
Andy Cortez
1111. Make a wish.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
And you were knocking on the door for this one. And you were right that earlier on you said the best games of the 2000s and you almost had it, but not specific enough for me to give it to you. What it is, is the best game from each year of the 2000s. And so starting with Legend, the Legend of Zelda, Majora's Mask, I believe that's the best game from 2000. You then go to Final Fantasy 10, which is 2001, GTA, Vice City, which is 2002. Knights of the Republic 03, Metal Gear Solid 3, Snake Eater 04, Resident Evil 4, 05, Bully 06, Halo 307, Fallout 309 or sorry 08 and then Uncharted 2Among Thieves being the best game of 09. That that is one from the gamer.combully in 06. Yeah right.
Andy Cortez
The else came out that year.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
It was a very dark year. It was a dark year.
Andy Cortez
Damn.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Nobody gets the 10 points for that one, unfortunately. So we're going to start this off on even footing. Remember, ladies and gentlemen, this is Game Showdown Kind of Funny's nerdy game show that you can watch live right here on twitch and on YouTube. If you love what we do, support us with the Kind of Funny membership on Patreon or YouTube to get all of our shows ad free. Watch us record them live and get a daily exclusive show. Thank you to our Patreon producers Delaney Twining and Carl Jacobs. Today are brought to you by New World of Turnum, Phasmophobia, Marvel Snap and Shady Rays. But we'll tell you about that later. For now, let's play Kind of Feudy. The rules are simple. I've surveyed over 1500 members of the Kind of Funny audience on a number of prompts. Each round I'm going to read to you a prompt and we'll ask each of you which answer you think the Kind of Funny Best Friends gave the most. I've narrowed down to five answers per prompt. If you give the correct answer, the more popular the answer, the more points you'll receive. For example, I might ask you to name an incredible open world game. If Greg says the Witcher and his number one, they'll net him 50 points. If Tim says fallout and it's number two, they'll net him 40 points. If Andy says GTA and that's number three, that'll net him 30 points. And so on and so forth. Each player will get a max of two guesses per round. Last place goes first after the first round. Whoever gets the most points after five rounds wins. And there is a secret answer hidden in one of the rounds. It's not one of the top five answers, but if you happen to get it, it is worth five points and the chance to guess again. What tragedy is he thinking about?
Andy Cortez
No, he just said he pulled a Nick Scarpino that one time that Nick drank too much energy drink and Nick was just looking at his hands during a podcast.
Greg Miller
I have elegant fingers.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
What does that mean?
Barrett Courtney
Elegant meaning?
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Oh, you know what? I'm looking at them when it's chilly, right?
Greg Miller
Like I feel like they have good definition Right. Like I need to shave the hair on top of them. But I could do some stuff here.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
I can see from here.
Greg Miller
You're right.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Like seeing. Yeah. The back is elevated.
Greg Miller
Look at that.
Tim Gettys
When it's not chilly, they look different.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
I have elegance, you know, it's like.
Greg Miller
You know they're constricted, right?
Andy Cortez
Yeah. Yeah.
Greg Miller
When they, when it's like they're thinner because it's cold.
Andy Cortez
Huh. So elegant. The opposite of thinner.
Greg Miller
No, they're thin right now because I'm cold. They look elegant.
Tim Gettys
You know what I mean?
Andy Cortez
Oh, I see.
Greg Miller
I see.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
I get what you mean.
Andy Cortez
Okay.
Greg Miller
Thank you.
Tim Gettys
Happy?
Greg Miller
Someone does think of a good candelabra, you know, I got going on.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Let's start off with round number one. Name an activity you might do a Yakuza slash like a dragon game.
Tim Gettys
Who gets to go first?
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
We're going to start off with our season one and two champion, Tim Gettys.
Greg Miller
Go get him.
Tim Gettys
Karaoke.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Tim says karaoke. Karaoke is our 50 point answer with a strong start for Tim. Andy Cortez.
Andy Cortez
Oh, there's so many. I love these games. As Roger knows, we all play these games.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Re entry.
Andy Cortez
I'm going to go with racing. There's.
Greg Miller
There's cart racing.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
This is what you said is killed me. I don't know why. And he says racing. Racing is not on the list.
Greg Miller
Can I just get the phrase you say activities.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Name an activity you might do in a yakuza game or like a dragon.
Greg Miller
I have two or three. And the problem is I want to combine one into two. How? How? You think you got them? You think you got some stuff. I'll say batting cages here, then you're gonn do the batting cages.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Okay. Greg says batting cages. Batting cages is not wow on the list. Tim Gettys are back to you.
Tim Gettys
I'm gonna say fight.
Greg Miller
That's true. That's a good one actually.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Yeah. Tim Getty says fight. Fight is our 30 point answer.
Andy Cortez
So it's not just like side quest stuff. It's just like play the video game.
Greg Miller
Read based on reading.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Yeah. Based on how our viewers answer it.
Andy Cortez
I'm gonna go with that one thing that was kind of viral for a bit like Pokemon collecting sort of mini game, side game. Sure.
Greg Miller
Could I. Whatever.
Andy Cortez
I don't know what they call it though.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Indy says the Pokemon collecting minigame side game. That is not on the list.
Greg Miller
So then since I'm the last answer and this is, you know, off season, we're just playing ball here. I want to say host, club hostess, Club slash dating. But I, I, I, I'm not sure if those would be put in the same category.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
I'll probably separate those.
Greg Miller
Really?
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Yeah.
Greg Miller
Then I'm gonna say Host Club. The host hostess go to the host Bowling.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Greg Cafe says Hostess Club.
Greg Miller
Cafes.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Hostess Club is not on the list.
Greg Miller
Dating is, though.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
No. Oh, Neither on the list. It obviously didn't matter. But, you know, I appreciate that.
Tim Gettys
Do you ever play pool in these games?
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
I don't know if you play pool and pool's not, is it Gotcha machines.
Greg Miller
Arcades, what are they putting in? I mean, I know all the extras.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
If you had said Gotcha Machine, I might have given it to you. Because our 40 point answer is gambler.
Andy Cortez
Oh, okay.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Okay. Which I don't. I guess Gotcha Machine and game will be a bit separated, but.
Greg Miller
Yeah, you're getting into, like, you know, you want to be like the government with loot boxes. That's, you know, it's gorbling.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Exactly. Our 20 point answer, go to the arcade, which I guess also Gotcha Machine could follow. And then our 10 point answer is play Mahjong.
Greg Miller
Wow.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Yeah.
Greg Miller
Apparently ages are so much higher than most of those activities. Not karaoke. Karaoke is the star activity. And fighting as well. Good answers, Tim.
Tim Gettys
Thank you.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Yeah. With that, Tim got the 30 point answer. With fight, Tim got the 50 point answer. With karaoke, putting Tim in the lead with 80.
Greg Miller
I figured it all out. Why I don't like this shirt Tim's wearing. Because it looks like the, like when you see a DNA sequencer, like, and when you see the DNA and like you're watching a true crime show and they have the DNA, but it looks like a lot of people's DNA. So it looks like the Codex from Venom 3. And I don't like that one.
Andy Cortez
Oh, man.
Tim Gettys
Yeah.
Andy Cortez
Venom 3. Still strong in our minds.
Tim Gettys
I also don't know what he's talking about.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
I watched Venom last night. I don't remember.
Greg Miller
Much better. True, True crime shows.
Andy Cortez
No.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Round number two.
Andy Cortez
Hungry.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Name a wrestler who's been on the COVID of a WWE video game.
Greg Miller
Great answer, great questions.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
We're going to start off with Andy Cortez.
Andy Cortez
I'm just going to go with what I know. Cody Rhodes.
Greg Miller
Great answer.
Andy Cortez
That's the only one that I know.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Andy says Cody Rhodes. Cody Rhodes is our 20 point answer. They call him the American Nightmare. Nightmare. I was gonna say dream, and I.
Greg Miller
Was like, that's his, his dad.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Next up, Greg.
Greg Miller
Great question. Bless. I love this one a lot. I'll say Hulk Hogan.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Greg says Hulk Hogan. Hulk Hogan is our 10 point answer.
Greg Miller
When he's. When Cody. I was gonna go recency, they're gonna say Cody. But then I was the. He was the lip, the tester. And then it's like oh, they didn't say it so maybe they're just thinking of classics.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
See, I was wondering because I in here I said who's been on the COVID of a WWE video game? Maybe Hulk Hogan's been on WWF video games. I know people read into common nomenclature.
Tim Gettys
I thought for sure that it was between two and I was like, which one's Greg going to give me?
Greg Miller
Sure.
Tim Gettys
Which now then puts me in a predicament.
Andy Cortez
Well, for now I think it's like you're at the 50 or 40.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
The rock.
Andy Cortez
Yeah.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Tim says the Rock. The rock is our 40 point answer. Andy.
Andy Cortez
Bam Bam. Big wow.
Greg Miller
The beast from the east from Asbury Park, New Jersey.
Andy Cortez
He was a Boy Meets World. Remember that episode? Oh yeah, it's a cool episode. I'm gonna go with Roman Reigns.
Greg Miller
Andy, are you sure you're nothing about Vader and Boy Meets World?
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Oh, Vader.
Greg Miller
Yeah.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Roman Reigns is not on.
Andy Cortez
I was just going recey there. That's crazy. Maybe he hasn't been on one. I don't know, Greg.
Greg Miller
Yeah, I know I'm between two. Then I imagine one of them at least is Tim's other. Was it this person? I'll what? Can you read into me again?
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Where are we at right now with the ones that we already have?
Greg Miller
Yeah. If you want to give me the answer, I can say yeah, I'd love it.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Tim got the 40 point with the rock, Andy got the 20 point with Cody Rhodes. And then you got the 10 point with Hulk Hogan.
Greg Miller
I'll toss that. I think I'm gonna say John Cena. Damn it.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Greg says John Cena. John Cena is the 50 point answer. I was shocked that Andy didn't have John Cena in the tuck.
Andy Cortez
Damn, that's good.
Greg Miller
Great calling Bam Bam though.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Tim Gettys.
Tim Gettys
What?
Andy Cortez
What?
Tim Gettys
What's the number left?
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
30 point answer.
Tim Gettys
I'm just gonna go Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Pim says Stone Cold Steve Austin. Stone cold is our 30 point answer. Answer leading to a clean sweep, a full wipe. Still haven't figured this one out.
Greg Miller
That's a full wipe. Clean sweep.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
With that. Greg got the 10 point answer with Hulk Hogan. Andy got the 20 point answer with Cody Rhodes. Tim got the 30 point answer with Stone Cold. Tim got the 40 point answer with the Rock. And Greg got the 50 point answer with John Cena. Barrett, what's the current score right now?
Barrett Courtney
The current score in last place, he just, you know, his mind's on Call of Duty. It's Launch day. You know, he's just not in the game right now. It is Andy Cortez for team Purple with 20 points in second place. He might be up on an upswing here. It's Greg Miller for team orange with 60 points and running away with it. Can he be beat today? Our season one, our season two champion, it is for team blue with 150 points, but it's still anybody's game.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
We got a lot more rounds left, but before we get there I want to tell you about patreon.com kind of funny and YouTube.com kind of funny games. Over there you can get the kind of Funny membership which allows you to get shows ad free. Speaking of ads, let us tell you.

Greg Miller
My, my. The one I was debating was Solid Snake from Metal Gear or Cole from Infamous. But I don't know how much of that's me skewing being a superhero fan.

What about the dude from infamous? Is the 40 point answer.

Andy Cortez
That's what I was gonna be my first guess. Was it not on the list?
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Not on the list.
Andy Cortez
What about the guy from the Darkness?
Greg Miller
Tony or Frankie or whatever?
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Cloud Strife was our seventh place answer. There are 33 votes for Cloud Strife.

Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Roman Reigns was nowhere even close.

Greg Miller
Yeah.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Kratos Kratos is the number one video game.
Greg Miller
I know.
Tim Gettys
Because the Thor, like he basically has.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Powers this lore, I guess.
Tim Gettys
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Greg Miller
I mean, I don't like Batman, Superman. He works alone. Remember Batman and Robin as a kid?
Andy Cortez
No Superman on the list anywhere.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
No. Not even. Yeah, no. Because after that it get sixth place answer was Ratchet somehow. Our seventh place answer was Cloud. And then under that was Aloy, which I like. Kind of like a Hawkeye. Yeah.
Greg Miller
That's where I was thinking with the Metal Gear thing, right. Of like he's like Black Widow. He's like Hawkeye.
Andy Cortez
Yeah, yeah.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
I'm surprised not to see like much. Yeah. No solid Chief in the top five. But I look at the top five and I'm like, that could make a good team between Kratos, Cole, Batman, Mad Chief and Samus. I don't know what threat they're fighting, but they got it coming with that. Barrett, what's the final score?
Barrett Courtney
The final score. Still in last place, but got into the triple digits.
Tim Gettys
It was 1.
Barrett Courtney
Andy Cortez for Team Purple with 120 points. In second place, he almost had it, but he didn't go with his heart. It was Greg Miller with team Orange with 140 points.

Greg Miller

Andy Cortez
Bear, can you put a blue filter over it?
Greg Miller
Put like 3D red, blue glasses.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Going back to previous rounds, of course. I asked you to give me the name of a Metal Gear Solid character side character who could star in their own game. Going down the list. That's where our secret answer was hidden. The number six voted answer was Sniper Wolf, which probably would have been my answer. Sniperwolf Game would be fucking sick. That was our sixth place with 48 votes.
Greg Miller

Andy Cortez
Yeah.
Blessing Adio Yea Jr.
Under that was psycho mantis with 46 votes. Under that was the boss with 45 votes. So very close voting here. Under that was Meryl with 44 votes, one vote less than the boss. And then under that was liquid with 23 votes from the audience. Going back even further, I already named you the wrestling ones. And then, yeah, the last one I have here is for Activities in Yakuza. Slack and Dragon. Our sixth place answer would have been kart racing with 31 votes. Under that is bowling, which is also tied with dancing, each with 23 votes, which are also tied with darts.
