[A]

We're of course going to start off with a Trivia question worth 10 points.

He knows better than to engage. He knows better than to engage in season three.

[A]

And the chance to go first in kind of beauty. Contestants, you will not both end to answer. Because this is a numbers game. I'm going to ask you the number of a certain thing. You'll each get a chance to guess the number with no repeat guesses allowed.

[C]

Who.

[A]

Whoever gets the closest without going over will get the points. If you all go over, the lowest guess will get the points. Are you ready?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Yes.

Yes.

Being active since 2021 and known for dreams. Jesus. He's on it. He's on it. Team Blue. Team blue right there.

Cheers.

[A]

They don't sleep over there, remember? 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, YouTube, Spotify or Apple Podcasts 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, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster and Delaney. The Psalm Twining today are brought to you by our wonderful sponsors, but we'll tell you about that later. For now, let's play Kind of Feudi. The rules are simple. I've surveyed over 2,000 members.

[D]

Wow.

[A]

Of the Kind of Funny audience on a number of prompts. Our high. Our highest turnout for Kind of Feudi poll so far. Each round I'm going to read to you a prompt.

[C]

This is like the midterms. Like people are showing up to stop the tyrant.

[A]

People are passionate now, ain't getting out.

[D]

They're sick of hearing all these horrible answers that get put out.

[A]

They want to make their voices heard. 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 a platform platformer mascot. If Greg says Mario and that's number one, they'll net him 50 points. If Tim says Sonic and that's number two, that's. That'll get him 40 points. If Andy says Bubsy and that's number three, that'll get 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. There's also 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 you get to guess again. Contestants, are you ready?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Round one. Name a game developer that would make a good Fantastic Four Video game. Name a game developer that would make a good Fantastic Four video game. Greg, since you got the points, you're starting first.

[E]

Right now the score is in the bottom. Coming in at number three with only 60 points.

It's Andy Cortez for team purple with 75 points and with a healthy lead. Still, it is the season three champion, the Nick Scarpino season champion, the winner of the first two episodes of this season of Kind of Funny Games Showdown.

[A]

It is Greg Miller for team blue with 130 points.

[E]

But it's still anybody's game.

[A]

And he says Mech City beat down Mech City. Beatdown is not on the list. Greg, you're our final guess here.

[D]

Alex. Alien imposter.

[C]

Hominid.

[A]

Greg says alien imposter. Alien imposter is not on the list. Our 10 point answer. That nobody got TKO the T shirt game.

[B]

Yes, that's a favorite. What's the one he's thinking of?

[A]

The one you're thinking of is madverse City, which also was not on the list. I kind of want to find the one that Greg is thinking of because I know which one you are. Well. Oh, I just typed in Greg Alien. I should add checkbox after that. You know what, Greg?

[C]

We're a new. There have been a lot of kind of funny fans that have filtered out and in. We have a lot of new fans.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

And that's why faking it wasn't on the list.

[D]

That's fucking great.

[C]

They aren't aware of. They aren't aware the great greatness of party mode from 2017.

[A]

Greg is thinking to push the button, which wasn't on the list.

[D]

It's Got something to do with an alien, right?

[A]

Yeah. It is like a space. Yeah. Thing. Our 40 point answer that nobody got. No. Although I do like that as a guess that could have been a secret answer if I thought ahead. Fibbage.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You guys know Fibbage?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

That was our 40 point answer. With that, Greg got the 20 point answer with Drawful, Tim got the 30 point answer with Trivia Murder Party. And Tim got the 50 point answer with Quiplash. Making this a tighter game here as we enter in to Moving day.

[C]

Moving day.

[D]

Moving day.

[C]

Where I live.

[A]

Round.

[C]

You don't want to meet me on moving day is what I'm saying.

[A]

Round number four. Name a video game character who is round shaped. Name a video game character who is round shaped. We're going to start off with Andy Cortez.

[C]

Pac man you.

[A]

And he says Pac Man. Pac man is our 40 point answer.

[C]

Fuck you. Fuck you, everybody. OK. Because when the question popped up, name a yellow character. I said Pikachu. And Pac man was the number one answer. Fuck you.

[A]

Being circular is like his whole thing. Tim Gettys.

[C]

Kirby. Damn it.

[A]

Tim says Kirby. Kirby is our 50 point answer.

[C]

Greg Jiggly Arms and things.

[B]

So does Pac Man. Well, I guess.

[C]

No, he doesn't.

[B]

It repacks World 2 whatever he does.

[A]

Greg says Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff is our 30 point answer. Thank you. And we're back to Andy.

[D]

Hey, we can't be using our phones. He can't be Googling. He's Googling. Disqualify. Minus.

[B]

Moving a goddamn meeting. Sorry.

[A]

I'll trust you on that one.

[C]

Moving a meeting, Andy. Oh, man. Let's see here. It's going through the Rolodex. So many characters to see, so many to choose. Let's see here. Circular, you said.

[A]

Name a video game character who is round shaped. Round shaped.

[C]

Round.

[E]

Round.

[C]

Spherical. In some ways you might say.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

I mean, it depends on how the audience interprets it, but spherical, that's good. I like that reference. Barrett.

[C]

What is that?

[A]

Drake and Josh game sphere.

[B]

It's a whole thing.

[C]

The Okama game sphere.

[A]

Exactly.

[C]

Let's see. Moving day. Everybody knows that.

[A]

Important, important answer for you here.

[C]

Really important. This could decide everything. What's left on the board? 20 and 10.

[A]

10 and 20. Yes.

[C]

Never mind. It's not really that important. I'll go with. I don't know why. I really want to say Snorlax.

[A]

Andy says Snorlax. Snorlax is not on the list, but is a Good answer. Yeah, is a really good answer. Tim Gettys.

[B]

What? What's happened so far?

[A]

So the 30 through 50 have been taken. 30 was Jigglypuff. 40 was Pac Man. 50 was Kirby Dang. Or 10 and 20 are still on the board.

[B]

I don't feel great about this, but I'm gonna go Sonic the Hedgehog.

[D]

Oh, I see it.

[A]

Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic the Hedgehog is not on the list. Greg Miller, your final answer.

[D]

Hollywog.

[A]

Greg says Poliwag. I'm sorry, but you know, it's close enough. I'll take that as if you would.

[D]

Have told me to spell it. I would have put the A there.

[A]

You're right. Yeah. Poliwag is not on the list.

[C]

What about the moon from Majora's Mask?

[A]

Also not on the list.

[C]

That would have been a great answer though.

[A]

Growlithe.

[D]

Rowlet.

[A]

Oh, Rowlet. No, also not on. I like. How many Pokemon. Yeah. Are actually.

[C]

Oh, Voltorb. No, that was my.

[B]

One of my first thoughts. I was like, no one's riding Voltor.

[A]

No Pokemon made the list. However, a Sonic character did make the list. Robotnik slash Egg.

[B]

He is round. Yes, that is a very round.

[A]

That was our 20 point answer. 10 point answer. A lot tougher. Wario.

[D]

Okay, I can see that too. I can see that too.

[A]

I don't view him as a round character, but I guess I thought a.

[D]

Donut Drake for a second. Talked myself out of it.

[B]

Wow.

[D]

Throwback.

[C]

I would put Snorlax above all those.

[A]

You should vote with that. You shouldn't with that. Greg got the 30 point answer with Jigglypuff. Andy got the 40 point answer with Pac Man. Tim got the 50 point answer with Kirby in a bad spot. Now, as we enter into our final round again, very tight game here.

[D]

What's your favorite Nintendo song?

[A]

Round number five. Name the best remake of the last five years.

[D]

Nice.

[A]

Name the best remake of the Last Five Years. Because of a tie, there are two 20. Sorry. There are two 30 point answers on the board. We're going to start off with andy.

[C]

Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

[A]

Andy says Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Final Fantasy 7 Remake is our 50 point answer. Next up, Greg Miller.

[D]

When did this one come out? When did you vote for this?

[A]

This was August, so about a month ago, month and a half ago.

[D]

Silent Hill 2.

[C]

Silent Hill 2. That's good. That's.

[A]

Greg says Silent Hill.

[C]

That's why he wins so much, man.

[D]

We'll see.

[A]

Silent Hill 2 is not on the list.

[C]

Wow, wow, wow, wow.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Wow.

[D]

Wow. Didn't see that one coming.

[C]

Wowee.

[A]

Tim, the door has been open for you.

[B]

I'm sweating here because I haven't answered. That's not technically correct.

[D]

Roll with it.

[B]

But it's Family Feud rules. It doesn't need to be exact.

[C]

You were saying? But his Family Feud. What?

[B]

I'm going with Resident Evil 2.

[D]

Yeah, see, that's. That was what I was drawn to, but I was like five years.

[A]

Tim says Resident Evil 2. Resident Evil 2 is not on the list.

[C]

Wow.

[B]

Me.

[C]

Wow.

[A]

Andy, we're back to you.

[D]

Wow.

[B]

The Doors, they're better now.

[D]

Let's just stop though, and have a conversation.

[C]

Demon Souls.

[A]

Andy says Demon Souls. Demon Souls is our 20 point answer.

[C]

Fuck me.

[A]

Next up, Greg.

[D]

Metal Gear Solid Delta. Snake Eater.

[A]

Greg says Metal Gear Solid Delta. Snake Eater. Metal Gear Solid Delta is not on the list.

[B]

August, he said God.

[A]

Very risky.

[D]

We're back to the question of just like.

[A]

Because. Yeah, the game came out end of August. Right.

[D]

I was risking it for the reason.

[A]

Risking it. Next up we have Tim Gettys. And this is the final guess, right?

[D]

Yeah. He already won.

[A]

Oh, he already won. Wow.

[B]

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

[A]

Tim says Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is our 10 point answer.

[C]

Fuck. What was in there?

[A]

Adding a little bit of sauce to Tim's point lead here.

[D]

So Persona 3 reload.

[A]

No, you guys got three of the answers here. The other three at 30 points. Of course. We had two answers sharing 30 points. One of the 30 point answers, Elder Scrolls for Oblivion.

[D]

Sure.

[A]

The other one, Dead Space. Dead Space Remake.

[D]

Sure.

[A]

Okay. Our 40 point answer, which Tim knocked on the door on Resident Evil 4. Resident Evil 4 was the 40 point answer. But that miss didn't affect Tim.

[D]

Notice I can't fathom. Did I say the wrong Silent Hill?

[C]

You said two.

[D]

Yeah, right. That's the one. Yeah. That's crazy. That didn't make the list.

[A]

Silent Hill 2 was our, I guess, sixth place answer. It came in under. Under Final Phase 7 Rebirth with 90 votes.

[D]

I think that's crazy. That wasn't in the top five for sure.

[A]

And then under Silent Hill actually was re two with 77 votes.

[C]

Damn.

[A]

I. I think it was a lot of splitting the votes going on here.

[C]

That's crazy. What a close battle.

[B]

Got to weigh that. The two verse four there made the wrong call.

[A]

Yeah, that was a very, very, very competitive game of kind of feeding. Under re2 you had Persona 3 reload with 48 votes. And under that you had Metroid prime with 39 votes. If we're going earlier into the episode for some fun stats here. I think the only one I have here is from our first round where I asked to name a developer that would make a good Fantastic Four game. Rocksteady came in at our sixth place answer.

[D]

They've proved they can do multiplayer.

[A]

Yeah. With 54 shoot them purple. And then under Rocksteady, you had Galactus.

[D]

15 other Galactuses to Earth to fight us.

[A]

Yeah. 27 people thought that BioWare could have made a good Fantastic Four video game, interestingly. But that is it for this episode. Barrett, what's the final score?

[E]

The final score in last place, finally, some are saying, was Greg Miller for team blue with 180 points. In second place, always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Showing up for season four, finally, it is Andy Cortez for Team Purple with 185 points.

[C]

And you know the winner.

[E]

Finally stopping this madman. On Team Blue, it is Tim Gettys for team orange with 200 points.

[A]

Better if we can bring up the star standings. And let's catch up for the overall season here. Going into this episode, Greg Miller with Team Blue had a commanding lead to start things off with two stars with two. The other others have zero. I look at that as command. You know, I was worried that you'd win this episode again and just get it even more commanding. But here, Team Orange, led by Tim Geddes, has earned themselves the first star of the season again, making this a team tight season overall.

[D]

Can't watch the seasonal performance.

[C]

Faking it, man. Come on. Party Mode. Great episode. If y' all haven't watched that episode of party mode from 2017, that's a an all star moment where Nick just is really bad at lying. And it's a great episode. Go watch that one.

[A]

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

[D]

I'm sorry, Gia.
