Episode Overview

In this episode, the Kinda Funny crew takes on a unique challenge: collaboratively building a definitive list of the 10 video games (and moments) that most define the history, spirit, and culture of Kinda Funny as a company and community. Rather than personal lists, the team debates, reminisces, and involves live chat to craft a single “Kinda Funny Top 10”—capturing their legacy across let’s plays, streams, podcast conversations, community memories, and editorial coverage.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Defining Criteria & Kinda Funny’s Legacy

• The Challenge: This isn’t just about the hosts' favorites or most-played games, but what defines Kinda Funny’s culture and community identity ([05:18]).
• Audience Evolution: They note how different eras (party mode, streaming, podcasting) resonate differently with older and newer fans ([05:46]).
• Criteria:
  • Games that created memorable in-house or community moments.
  • Titles with influential coverage or defining let’s plays.
  • The unique “Kinda Funny spin,” sometimes platforming lesser-known games.

---

2. Forming the List: Party Mode, Streaming, & Editorial Picks

A. “Party Mode” Era Highlights

• Nidhogg 2: Called an “absolute lock,” described as the “number one draft pick” for hours of content and defining in-office competition ([06:20] – [07:06]).

  "Nidhogg 2, when you’re chasing each other down, throwing things, me summoning Satan, it has to be on there." – Greg ([06:24])

• Super Sports Matching, Ultimate Chicken Horse, Mount Your Friends, TowerFall: Frequent, iconic multiplayer choices remembered for chaotic group fun.
• Community Knowledge: Some chat members didn't even know about "party mode," highlighting generational shifts in fanbase ([07:20]).

B. Unique Let’s Plays & Franchise Coverage

• Emily is Away: Deeply tied to early Kinda Funny narrative streams, lauded for emotional weight and platforming a small indie ([08:41]).

  “Emily is Away is like tied to us, I think, way more so than a lot of the other games.” – Tim ([08:57])

• Super Mario 3D World: Defined pandemic streaming era, notorious for its technical (lag) struggles and group breakdowns ([10:58], [11:44])
• Mario Kart 8 / Mario Party: Mainstays through the years; Mario Kart especially for infamous “Zyger” moment and community tournaments ([31:08], [32:13]).
• Lightning Reaction: Not technically a video game, but the in-studio electrified challenge game had an outsized impact on crew bonding and inside jokes ([14:05]).

C. Streaming Era & Editorial Influence

• Call of Duty: Warzone: Core to “Jabroni Boys,” pivotal for Nick’s gaming transformation, and a pandemic community pillar ([12:51]).
• Predator: Hunting Grounds, Friday the 13th: Asymmetrical multiplayer games that inspired recurring streams and lore ([59:40]).

---

3. Editorial & Podcast-defining Coverage

• The Last of Us (and Part II, Show): Editorial cornerstone—spoilercasts, coverage across years, highlighted by blockbuster reviews ([15:38], [55:35]).
• God of War (2018): Coverage included the iconic Cory Barlog spoiler cast, described as “a special one for all of us” ([33:02]).
• Marvel’s Spider-Man (and sequels): Shirtless Spider-Man antics, deep spoiler discussions, and spoilercasts with Brian Intihar ([47:05]).
• Death Stranding (1 & 2): Cohesive mix of innovative streams (treadmill sessions), international connections (gifting Kojima), and extensive review/podcast content ([38:39], [39:11]).
• Sifu: Not only a game loved by the crew (Top 3 GOTY, 2022) but also front for a uniquely Kinda Funny “Sifu Race”—a creative four-person competition ([17:32], [55:33]).

  “I feel like we rode for SIFU more than most other outlets. That game clicked with all of us…” – Nick ([17:04])

• Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain: Deep legacy, from early exclusive streams to more recent playthroughs. Stands as a symbol for long-running Metal Gear jokes ([19:08], [37:20]).
• Bloodborne: Turning point for crew perspectives on Souls games, effecting long-term evolutions in coverage/interest across action genres ([44:29]).
• Super Smash Bros. (Wii U/Ultimate): Central to both gameplay tradition and Kinda Funny’s most famous reaction videos, especially Sora’s reveal and “Everyone is Here” ([33:43], [34:02]).

  “No other game are we excited to wake up at 6am to react to.” – Tim ([33:55])

---

4. Community Involvement & Generational Divide

• Super chats shaped debate, suggesting games that resonated during different eras: Overcooked, Knockout City, Life Is Strange, and various party mode classics ([42:24], [49:12]).
• Legacy vs. Recency: Repeated debates over whether to prioritize foundational-indie let’s plays (Emily is Away) or later, streaming-era favorites (Warzone, Predator).
• Running theme: Kinda Funny has “eras” with different games meaning different things to staff, podcasts, or viewers.

---

5. Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Nidhogg 2’s Impact:

  “Hours and hours and hours of content that again, has extended so far beyond just those original days… That is the power of this game.” – Greg, [06:24]-[07:06]

• On Bloodborne’s Influence:

  “Bloodborne was so foundational… if you remove Bloodborne from the Kinda Funny timeline, our gameplay coverage looks completely different.” – Nick, [70:14]

• On Smash Bros. as Tradition:

  “No other game are we excited to wake up at 6am to react to.” – Tim, [33:55]

• On Community Evolution:

  “Some chat members don’t even know what party mode is—that’s a generational thing...” – Andy, [07:36]

• On “The List”:

  “I want this list to be something that we’re proud of. When we post this online, it does say something, we’re like, yeah, I stand by that.” – Tim, [74:08]

---

6. Deliberation and Final List Creation

• Editorial vs. Gameplay: Repeated tension between titles that shined as coverage and those core to crew’s gaming traditions.
• Process: Each game up for inclusion faced open debate, with consideration for legacy, memorable moments, and current relevance ([53:10]-[77:05]).
• Polls & Audience Voice: The chat (and poll) often broke ties, especially on final cuts (Sifu vs. Mario 3D World, etc.) ([74:52]-[76:07]).

For a chance to be part of this show, please YouTube super chat in. We're gonna need them today. We're gonna need your help. This is different than the last couple times We've done the 10 games to define us videos because those we each prepped our own lists. This one, we're coming up with the list for ourselves today with your help. So super chat in. What games you think define kind of funny? We're an 11 person about live talk shows today. You already got a games daily talking all about inter. Intergalactic. I always forget every single.

[Nick Scarpino]

You want to call it interstellar Inter.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, Intergalactic. The heretic prophet.

[Greg Miller]

That's how we do. Yeah, exactly.

[Tim Gettys]

Today after games or then after this we got the arc raider stream. If you're a kind of funny member, today's Greg Ways great three get us

[Greg Miller]

trouble on arc raiders.

[Andy Cortez]

I'm excited because I haven't played in a while and I don't think I'll be playing a whole lot just with everything else we've got. So it's like I. I think Mike thinks that I'm like just super scared of combat. I'm all down. I'm super down to like you just

[Greg Miller]

don't like the line.

[Joey Noel]

Well,

[Andy Cortez]

yeah, I guess that does make me feel bad sometimes. You know, if we're just shooting first, I'm down.

[Greg Miller]

No, I like to. We like to, you know, lead them on. Okay, bring him into the fly trap.

[Andy Cortez]

You know what? Yeah, the spiderweb is what he normally says.

[Tim Gettys]

You know what?

[Andy Cortez]

I'm turning a new leaf.

[Tim Gettys]

In what way?

[Greg Miller]

He's going to be an evil.

[Andy Cortez]

I'm going to be an

[Tim Gettys]

blessed. I don't like it. Oh man. And then after that if you are kind of. Well, not after. At some point if you're kind of funny member. Today's Greg way is Greg's three most anticipated 2026 games. I want to hear that. Thank you to our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster and Delaney. The Psalm twining. Start with the topic of the show. The last couple months, it feels like everybody was putting out their top 10 games that define them. And then we took that and over the weeks we've been doing ours whenever schedule permitted to, like, get all the different kind of funny members in there. And it's been a lot of fun, a lot of learning about each other.

[Joey Noel]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

And what makes us us. But what makes kind of funny kind of funny? That is the question. We are going to make A list of 10 games that define kind of funny. And it's hard because this doesn't mean our most played games. This doesn't mean our most loved games individually or any of that. We got to come up with the 10 games that define the history, the storied history of this company. What jumps to mind? Andy Cortez, I see you there pondering,

[Andy Cortez]

thinking, well, I don't know if a lot of the audience would even agree with some of these because there's been a lot of change and turnover in audience and based on some of the more recent episodes of Game Showdown where we ask like, games about kind of funny. And to me, I'm like such an old head where I just think of games in party mode that really defined us that some people go like, like, they'll vote other show. I'm like, really? You're not mentioning the stuff? In part. So, like, I would say Nidhogg two, that's the most.

[Tim Gettys]

That's the number one.

[Greg Miller]

That's the number one draft pick. It has to be on this.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Nidhogg two hours and hours and hours and hours of content that again, has extended so far beyond, beyond just those Original Days of Nidhogg 1. Right. Like, I'll never forget, this is it. You know what? Last year, two years ago, when we did the IGN kind of funny extra life stream and we introduced that brand of IGN to Nidhogg 2 and the next day was like some birthday party from somebody at the company and they showed a photo, they put a photo on social of them playing Nidhogg 2 at that birthday party. And I was like, that's the power of this game. That is how good this game is. Nidhogg 2, when you're chasing each other down, throwing things, me summoning Satan, it has to be on there it has

[Tim Gettys]

to be on there. I do like starting with party mode though, Andy, because I feel like in there there are at least a handful of games that we can put on the list and maybe they don't make the final cut. But like, bless what pops into your mind when it comes to the party mode.

[Andy Cortez]

Real quick, before I lose it, I just want to. What I want to do right now is just ask people in the chat and YouTube or even comments or whatever type the number one. If you don't even know what party

[Tim Gettys]

mode is, that's a very, very good thing.

[Andy Cortez]

There's the chances of that popping up in people's algorithms. Who. For people that have just started listening the last year, year and a half, two, three years, like they don't even know what that is. There's a good chance of that.

[Nick Scarpino]

You know, that's my, that's my thing is, you know. Tim asks what would stick out to me from the party mode era. One Party mode wasn't a thing when I was working here. And also party mode wasn't something I watched. Like I was in it for the podcast.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Nick Scarpino]

I was like listening to KD and all that stuff. And so when I think of party mode, I think of Rainbow Six. But like even Nidhog 2 was not the first game that jumped to mind for me because I think I'm thinking a lot about the last six years or like specific moments. Party mode isn't something that's like forefront of my mind.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, yeah. Party Mode was a let's Play series that we announced alongside Kind of Funny games daily at kind of funny life 3. And it was mainly four players usually. Usually it would be me, Andy, Nick and Greg doing some type of multiplayer game, whether it was competitive co op or whatever. And Andy would edit them and add a lot of funny bits and stuff. And definitely a fan favorite show that you could still watch of ours on YouTube.com kind of funny games channel.

[Nick Scarpino]

I do have one that is because I don't think this is a party mode. I think this might have just been a let's play. But it is very much pre me joining kind of funny. Emily is away.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Nick Scarpino]

I think that for me was like such a locked in a must watch let's play from the first few years of KF being a thing.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. And that, that one I think is special for a lot of different reasons. But yeah, Greg and I doing the. The full stream of it. The game meaning a lot to us then also us I think being able to platform that game in a Way, like it's. It's one of the few games that Nidhog 2 other people have played that but like Emily is Away is like tied to us, I think way more so than a lot of the other games.

[Greg Miller]

God, we got so Dr.

[Tim Gettys]

Even so way too. Even with a lot of the party mode games. Like, a lot of that just came from. What did Achievement Hunter do? What's our spin on that? You know, every time I see this

[Nick Scarpino]

and I don't even think it was this one, I think it might have been the second one. I think of like a certain conversation you had.

[Tim Gettys]

No, no, you don't. You don't. Nobody thinks about that. Nobody thinks about that conversation. That didn't happen. It didn't happen.

[Greg Miller]

I won't say one.

[Andy Cortez]

We all know if you're an audio

[Greg Miller]

listener and you can't and you've missed, you don't know. Emily is Away is this interactive narrative adventure where it's all done through an instant messenger window and specifically old school AOL instant Messenger. I forget what year it's set, but you see the Kings of Leon like

[Nick Scarpino]

fucking thing there, the graduation cover art right there. So that at least 2007.

[Greg Miller]

So like it's. It's a place in time. All of these as you went through and played them. I think this is Emily West 2. Yeah, exactly. Great game.

[Tim Gettys]

What a game.

[Andy Cortez]

Because I think of like what the modern era could be if we found a rhythm with Pico Park. Like that could become a classic sort of, you know, in five years. People going, oh, Pico park is. Pico Park 2 is such a kind of funny game, you know.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, sure. I already kind of feel like it is just because of how special every time we've played it has been and the fact that it is the entire squad and us even dressing up and stuff. I just feel like there's enough like identifiable things about it that like people yearn for the. Pico Park.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Is the way I think are locks.

[Tim Gettys]

Yes.

[Greg Miller]

So I've put them on the numbered list. Pico Park, I'm putting on the unnumbered list. So we continue to.

[Tim Gettys]

I appreciate that. Here's what one I want to throw out because I couldn't forget it. Super Mario 3D world.

[Andy Cortez]

Yes. Yeah, those were some pretty memorable pandemic streams.

[Tim Gettys]

A lot of four part classic 12 hours of insanity. Don't get the didookie, you know, don't get the Taduki.

[Andy Cortez]

Don't get the dookie too. Those need. I think Roger edited those down at one point and put Them on, like, the highlights channel.

[Tim Gettys]

I'm not sure, but I do know that during the Thanksgiving break, you had the great idea to just have a live stream of a bunch of old classic kind of funny content playing so people can just watch on Twitch the whole time. And Joey and I've been making a playlist and those streams, in order, are all going to be part of it.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, wow.

[Tim Gettys]

At some point, you can check that out.

[Andy Cortez]

That was a disaster because we were playing a Mario game before Nintendo fixed their online and made things, you know, marginally better. But this was like every action you would for a precision platformer, every action we were hitting was milliseconds late. And it was just so hard, man. It was such a hard game to play.

[Tim Gettys]

And we did the, like, final. Final challenge, the Champions Road or whatever it was called. Like, that was crazy. But we locked in. We got it done.

[Andy Cortez]

It was a breaking point.

[Greg Miller]

I forgot all about this, but I remember it now that you're talking about it, and I remember it being a big covet thing.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah. It would, like, knock me out for the whole day because when I was done, like, after all the screaming, like, I would just be like, I'm. I'm spent.

[Greg Miller]

In the live chat, Ron Q21 says, Nick's stupid beanie. You had to read it. Yeah. You see him, you got to say it. See, See something, say something.

[Andy Cortez]

You know, Y and A says Blessing. Any playing. Re 7 also comes to mind.

[Nick Scarpino]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

I mean, there's definitely some memorable stuff during like, extra live streams or during just like kind of funny day streams, you know, here in the chat, Foxy

[Greg Miller]

Steve with a super chat says, when I think of kind of funny, I think of War Zone with the Jabroni Boys.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah, yeah.

[Greg Miller]

And I do. That was something I wanted to bring up as somebody who knows how much Call of Duty has been played here of what we feel. Where do we feel? What do we. What one. That kind of thing.

[Tim Gettys]

I think we have to put War Zone.

[Andy Cortez]

I think. Yeah, I think just sheer amount of numbers, it wins in numbers wise.

[Tim Gettys]

I think the Jabroni boys were born. You know what I mean? With war in the zone.

[Greg Miller]

Good point. It's a good point.

[Andy Cortez]

It was good. I was going to say it was the kind of funny streams during the day and then we would stream at night because we were stuck in the pandemic without much to do. And that's. That was our lives.

[Greg Miller]

And I think this is foreign. Tell me if I'm wrong to people who would be newer around here, but like, that was Nick's, like, introduction to becoming a gamer.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh.

[Greg Miller]

Like he played Deus Ex and stuff like that. We would joke around, but, like, Nick didn't play games recreationally until Warzone and he got obsessed.

[Tim Gettys]

Absolutely. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

And he wanted a $7,000 computer.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. He wanted one of two of them.

[Andy Cortez]

He wanted two graphics cards.

[Tim Gettys]

God, he's such a disaster. I'm gonna throw it out there. That is gonna be a lock. It's a. It's a bit of a stretch, but just a bit because it's not technically a video game, but it is a game.

[Greg Miller]

Are you gonna do what I was gonna do?

[Andy Cortez]

Lightning Reaction.

[Tim Gettys]

Lightning Reaction, baby.

[Andy Cortez]

That's a good call.

[Tim Gettys]

We got it. Freaking song, man.

[Greg Miller]

If you are new around here and don't remember. Lightning Reaction. Lightning Reaction is a game of skill.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, okay.

[Greg Miller]

Where it's not wrong. Thank you very much, Barrett. I'm trying to think if we have anywhere that, like, I can't spell either. Lightning Reaction. I'm trying to find a video. Yeah, no, nothing's coming up for kind of funny. Anyway, so it's a four player morale where you grab a silver thing with a button on it, you hold it and you hit the button. And when the button changes colors and the song stops, you buzz in. And the first person to buzz in doesn't get shocked, and the other three people get shocked. And the shock is more intense than you think it would be.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, yeah. The chat's also bringing up an amazing answer. Connect between three.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, damn. Yeah. Now we're going outside of video games and I kind of like that.

[Tim Gettys]

It's kind of accurate, though.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, yeah. Connect between three and Five.

[Nick Scarpino]

Connect three.

[Andy Cortez]

What was it called? Connect between three and Five.

[Nick Scarpino]

Between three.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah. That was a big one. I mean, that was a. That was a long, long play. That's a long play. About a year. A year's long worth of playing

[Joey Noel]

Warboat. Orboat was.

[Andy Cortez]

Warboat was a good follow up. You know, a lot of it took such a long time. A lot of people really understate the importance of Warboat, you know, but that was a really, really important one. Elden Ring. I think I've seen some people mention Elden Ring. I think those were some really memorable co op streams between me, Nick and Mike.

[Tim Gettys]

A really good answer I saw pop up a couple times. That is a little different than the list we've been making, but I really believe in it is Last of Us. Because I feel like Last of Us has been such a defining thing for the editorial side of Kind of funny. Like Greg doing the spoiler cast. Whether it's back at IGN with Colin or being able to do those interviews with.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. With Laura and Ashley and Troy and Neil.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. Like the amount of coverage we did for Last of us continue to do with the show and all of that. Like, I do feel like that that game very much is a huge core tenant of kind of funny.

[Greg Miller]

Interesting.

[Tim Gettys]

From a different perspective than just games are playing together.

[Greg Miller]

You know, this is navel gazing for sure. I saw somebody else say it in the chat too. So I know I'm not crazy crazy. But when you were like a game that isn't a video game. I inhaled. I was gonna say game showdown. Like do we count? Would we count something? That is our own thing.

[Tim Gettys]

I mean it. Why not?

[Greg Miller]

We put on the show.

[Nick Scarpino]

You can make another list. That's just the non video game list.

[Andy Cortez]

It's so funny because there's. There's gonna be like two different lists for the podcast listeners and for the stream watchers.

[Nick Scarpino]

See, that's my thing because as I hear you guys talk about, I'm like, none of these games really apply to me. You know what I mean? Like, Emily is away. Obviously I watch it. I loved all that. Right. But like I look at Mario 3D, World Warzone. Even Lightning reaction feels before my time when I think about the games that define us. I guess I think, I do think more of the editorial side of like, I mean, Elden Ring was one that Andy brought up a second ago, but I would say that. And even Sifu being a game that I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, for the people watching, I feel like we rode for SIFU more than most other outlets. Rode for Sifu. Like that game clicked with all of us in a way where we were like, yo, this shit is a game of the year contender. And like I would see people in chat, they're like, yo, other people don't love love this game as much as you guys do.

[Joey Noel]

Let me triple check. I feel like SIFU was in our top four that year.

[Nick Scarpino]

I mean it must be.

[Tim Gettys]

Must have been.

[Joey Noel]

What year was that? 2022.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Joey Noel]

Sifu was our number three of 2022 behind Elden Ring and God of War Ragnarok.

[Tim Gettys]

That's.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, God, no. I literally hate the sound.

[Greg Miller]

That's the one right there, man. Somebody would be getting shocked right now. And then if nobody does it, they all get shocked. Let's play around.

[Joey Noel]

And like, like even just I doubt

[Greg Miller]

the batteries are fresh. You'll be fine.

[Joey Noel]

Just like, content wise.

[Tim Gettys]

I eat this so much.

[Andy Cortez]

The sifu race.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Nick Scarpino]

I don't want the smoke.

[Andy Cortez]

But the seafood race was fantastic.

[Joey Noel]

And that was like such a big first part of you.

[Nick Scarpino]

Press it as soon as it goes. Yeah, okay.

[Greg Miller]

And it's one of those. Sometimes I forget the rules anymore. It might be the one where the first person doesn't get shocked and everybody does. There was a weird thing. It doesn't matter. You'll be fine. Hit it early for a treat. No,

[Tim Gettys]

the battery is definitely charged.

[Andy Cortez]

The batteries. Batteries are very charged.

[Nick Scarpino]

Y' all were lucky. Y' all were lucky I wasn't around for this.

[Andy Cortez]

I think that was easy. I think I farted.

[Nick Scarpino]

I've never been so locked in my life. My eyes are closed. I'm just thinking about.

[Greg Miller]

But this is like LeBron, Michael Jordan. I was another level when we first were playing this game.

[Nick Scarpino]

All right, now you got Grandpa.

[Greg Miller]

You know what I mean?

[Nick Scarpino]

Playing Tekken.

[Joey Noel]

I'm ready for this chat has been bringing up our Metal Gear playthrough, but I feel doing a series is cheating. I feel like we got to pick one Metal Gear.

[Andy Cortez]

But I, I.

[Joey Noel]

And for me, it's a game that we didn't even do for that series, which is 5. That I think of Metal Gear Solid 5 when I think of kind of funny.

[Greg Miller]

I think that actually, yeah.

[Nick Scarpino]

I think going back to 2015, you think about the amount of kind of funny content made it on Metal Gear Solid five. And then, yeah, full circle to us doing the streams, replaying through the whole

[Joey Noel]

series and then not playing that game.

[Nick Scarpino]

And then not playing that game.

[Greg Miller]

Remember when I was gonna platinum it on that stream? People were writing in like, greg, you can't even possibly do that.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Wow.

[Tim Gettys]

That was. That was a crazy shock. I'm gonna be. I still feel it.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Good job, Kevin, with the new batters. I appreciate that.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, you asshole.

[Nick Scarpino]

I'll never feel that feeling. You know,

[Greg Miller]

Joey says they now play this light at the family Thanksgiving. Lightning reaction. I like that. I like that a lot.

[Tim Gettys]

One that I want to throw out there from the Party Mode era that when I think of Party Mode, immediately pops into my mind is the. What Sub Tim. What? What? Subtitles. Super Sports Matching.

[Andy Cortez]

Super Sports Matching. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

That was one that, like, when I was driving and thinking about this, like, Super Sports Matching for me. Yeah, like, that is a. That is a definitive Party mode streaming game. When. When I did the first kind of funny Paris Schneider Invitational Tournament or whatever, I did it. We did. That was like the definitive Thing like that is such a. But that is so old.

[Tim Gettys]

But it's, like, accurate, though. We did it so many times. The kind of footy world championship was like bread with super sports matching. Andy won it for, what was it, 10 hours?

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah. Y' all took it from me immediately.

[Tim Gettys]

Like, we would do that anytime we had the chance to, like, perform on stage. That's what we were playing. And that's another example of a game that I feel like we. I don't say put on the map,

[Greg Miller]

but like, we talked and played that game in a way nobody else did. I never heard.

[Andy Cortez]

It's still wild to think about that. Like, it was such a long time ago, but it is still in the beard era of Greg. Like, it's still post growing out the beard. I'm gonna get the. I'm getting the time code for what's up, Tim? I'm trying to near the very, very end.

[Greg Miller]

You're gonna send it to that like that?

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, like, that's such a iconic core. What is kind of funny, it's a stupid song playing and Nick and Greg just adding words to it and everyone joining and bullying me. Right?

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Okay. God forbid we make you famous. We make this kid fucking matter. I gotta hear about it.

[Nick Scarpino]

I don't think so.

[Greg Miller]

I think it doesn't matter. I think it was your warning. Sure, he started a little bit ahead, but I think that whole area doesn't matter is like, oh, that's.

[Andy Cortez]

Nick is tied with me. I think, oh, my God, we're tied. Oh, my God. Oh, we can't focus. Up, up to squat.

[Greg Miller]

Squat, Scout tune.

[Tim Gettys]

What's up, A Tim?

[Joey Noel]

What's.

[Greg Miller]

What's up, Tim?

[Tim Gettys]

What's up, Tim? What's up, A Tim?

[Andy Cortez]

It's a different area. All right.

[Tim Gettys]

I miss party mode.

[Greg Miller]

Party mode was so much fun. I wish Andy would just do it again.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, man.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, God, that was fun. I see for party Mode, like, it's interesting. So the. What's up, Tim? I obviously know this song, but I couldn't have told you what game it was. And it's similar to Black Blackberries, where. I don't remember when I was singing about blackberries. What? What? People were playing blackberries.

[Andy Cortez]

They taste so good. The Battle Sloths.

[Tim Gettys]

Was it really?

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, the. The Rooster Teeth published Battle Sloths.

[Tim Gettys]

Wow.

[Greg Miller]

Give me those black berries. They taste so good.

[Andy Cortez]

And it just. I don't know why you were even saying, give me those blackberries. There wasn't an item in the game.

[Greg Miller]

No, no, no. It wasn't game related. That's why I wouldn't make any sense to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

The faking it episode is also one I think about often. But again, like we are. Like Bussy was mentioning we. I think of the people that watch gameplay and the people that care about editorial and usually the people that care about gameplay also care about the. The podcast and the talk shows, but it's not true. Yeah, yeah. The people who listen to podcasts rarely watch let's plays Ron saying it was

[Tim Gettys]

Killer Queen, which would make sense because there's the berries in Killer Queen.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh yeah, you're right.

[Joey Noel]

You're right.

[Nick Scarpino]

That could be an answer.

[Andy Cortez]

Killer Queen didn't have a. Did have a decent amount of it.

[Joey Noel]

I feel like it had a moment, but like it didn't last as long as it should have.

[Tim Gettys]

I do think that one has.

[Greg Miller]

We expected that to go on.

[Tim Gettys]

It has the dual angles though, where we did. I agree that we didn't go on as long as I expected it to. But also that was one where we talked about it on gamescast when it was an arcade game.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Like.

[Tim Gettys]

And I feel like the editorial coverage of that game, like most people weren't talking about that.

[Greg Miller]

Right.

[Andy Cortez]

We played it at E3.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Joey Noel]

That was the game we were playing where we discovered that one footprint where shut off the studio.

[Greg Miller]

I don't think it should be on the list, but in a similar thing of like member berries. Do you remember this? I want to give an honorable mention to I Darb.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh yeah.

[Greg Miller]

If I Darb is one of those that we did and we did this. Like this is like the first weeks. Yeah, we're covering it there, but it's all of us with Portillo, with Colin in the living room. Like. And I remember this was the one where when we. We just left ign, I was so like, oh man, are you know, people gonna care about us? And Xbox sent us so many fucking controllers.

[Tim Gettys]

This was the beginning of Xbox having an endless amount of plastic where. Yeah, like I. I swear to God. They sent us like 15 controllers.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

And they haven't stopped sending them since.

[Greg Miller]

Thank God. God bless. I love the controller.

[Andy Cortez]

Put a back button on them. Put some back paddles on this.

[Greg Miller]

So yeah, I think shout out to Idarb because that was one of.

[Tim Gettys]

For a long time. And what I want to give a shout out that's like similar era that you just have no memory of. And I. It blows my mind that you don't. It's Video ball. Video Ball was so much freaking fun. Such a simple game. It was Made by Dave Lang, right? You said Tim.

[Nick Scarpino]

Oh, Tim Rogers.

[Tim Gettys]

Tim Rogers.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, okay.

[Tim Gettys]

And it was awesome. And that. It was definitely one of those games that like, we use this to settle beefs and debates and stuff. But. But maybe it was more of a me and Colin thing. I don't. I don't know.

[Andy Cortez]

But I vaguely remember this. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. When we did this and we launched, there was just the four of us. It was. We did so many different multiplayer things for multiplayer every day.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

We never quite became the, like. I think we had a lot of beef, you know, settling in stuff like Mario Party and stuff and you know, the meme of everybody annoying Joey and Joey getting really mad at Nick and stuff.

[Greg Miller]

Mario Party. We do have to have a conversation about putting on this.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, but. But I. But when I think of other just kind of fun multiplayer games with party mode stuff, I think of Tower Fall. I think that was also another big one. The Maddie makes games for Celeste developer played that forever. Towerfall being one of the. One of the, like premiere games on ouya.

[Tim Gettys]

That's right.

[Andy Cortez]

Like, that was. Yeah, that was one of the games where it's like you have an ouya, you have to get Towerfall. And for those of you who don't know what u y is, let's tell you a tale.

[Joey Noel]

I'm getting two recommendations from one, Joey Noel. Great recommendations. Again, leaning more towards the party mode era, but like mount your friends 100%. Yeah, that's one that I think of.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah. Greg climbing up.

[Tim Gettys]

This is a classic one too, because we went back to this in different eras too. Like, I remember we put Roger's face on this at some point.

[Greg Miller]

So some kind of.

[Joey Noel]

And then in a similar vein, one that we go back to and one that is finally getting a sequel soon. Oh, I clicked on the wrong video. Is one ultimate chicken horse.

[Andy Cortez]

Ultimate chicken horse.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

That is one that we often would go back to just for like normal streams.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, we still play that all the time. Yeah. So this is an interesting one where I think we need to go through super chats, obviously, and we need to have a real conversation. But bless bringing up like. Like you don't think about your friends for.

[Nick Scarpino]

No, not really. Huh.

[Greg Miller]

So I think it's interesting if we should have a conversation about are we trying to do like five and five. Five games that define us playing games. Five games that define coverage or I don't even know, you know, something like that. It's an. It's an open conversation with you, the

[Andy Cortez]

audience out there, the podcast Group and I feel like that would make sense the stream group. Because when I think of like podcast group, I think bless nails it with sifu.

[Nick Scarpino]

I think I'll put out Rocket League. I feel like Rocket League was a moment when that came out in 2015. Fat to being in there.

[Greg Miller]

Such idiots.

[Tim Gettys]

That's so interesting because Rocket League and

[Nick Scarpino]

maybe I'm thinking of like the one episode of P.S. i love you where you.

[Greg Miller]

Well, no, no, Rocket League was the thing where Rocket League. We felt you're talking about being on the ground floor of something. Yeah, Rocket League was. Yeah, Colin went and played at that E3 and came back on our shows and was like, dude, Dunham's game, that fucking car soccer things, awesome. And then we had Dunham, Jeremy Dunham, of course, the man who gave me my started ign. And then Doug Perry, who was running PR for at the time, came to the spare bedroom and we played it there and it was like, I liked it. I was like, what the fuck?

[Tim Gettys]

Like, I don't.

[Greg Miller]

Why would I like a rock? And it was like, wait, this game's special. And then like the, you know, the PlayStation plus deal happened and then it came out and then it became like worldwide phenomenon. But it was one of those ground level things we did before. It was like, oh shit, hold on everybody. Nobody knew at the time Rocket League was cool.

[Andy Cortez]

On the podcasting side, Shaggy Sasquatch makes a great call. Not in a positive way, but I think of Marvel's Avengers. KF and especially Greg were the largest voice about that game, sadly.

[Joey Noel]

Similar vein Starfield.

[Greg Miller]

I was gonna say if we start going into the podcast games, it's gonna get into games everyone else hates that Greg doesn't.

[Tim Gettys]

I wanna.

[Greg Miller]

Friday the 13th came up over there and I also think that that is a. A first ballot.

[Tim Gettys]

I wanna, I wanna keep going on this, but first we're gonna take a quick word from our sponsor.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

The wait is over. Solo leveling Arise Overdrive, the action RPG based on the popular solo leveling franchise, is now available on Steam.

And I can even join up to three friends for some co op raids to defeat incredible bosses and see who really is the best.

[Tim Gettys]

want to bring up from the earliest days possible of kind of funny Super Smash Brothers for Wii U and Mario Kart 8.

[Greg Miller]

Okay.

[Tim Gettys]

And I feel like the the Smash Wii U stuff. I feel like if we can count a franchise I'd put Smash on there. Just like the overall even if it's us reacting to all the the different character reveals and all that stuff. But I think Mario Kart 8 has to be on the list because Mario Kart 8 and then 8 Deluxe have been played the entire time of our legacy. Anytime we do streams Mario Kart's always a go to the infamous Zyger battle.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah right.

[Tim Gettys]

The Greg's try to keep up stuff.

[Joey Noel]

The community tournaments that you guys would like hold it like I remember playing those when I was still at ign. Yeah that's been it's a big part of the history.

[Tim Gettys]

The hot pepper gaming stuff was like that. The reviews were one thing but like if we were adding it to a game it would have been Mario Kart

[Greg Miller]

8, didn't we do that.

[Tim Gettys]

We did.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

And it fucked me.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, I'll find that.

[Tim Gettys]

We did it multiple times. We did it live at. Let's play live Chicago. And it sucked.

[Nick Scarpino]

One I'll throw out there.

[Greg Miller]

Hold on. Can we watch the end of the Zyger video I just sent through Barrett? It's not time code. It's all right.

[Joey Noel]

Yeah, I'm finding the exact time for it.

[Greg Miller]

Here's the red shell.

[Nick Scarpino]

Oh, my God, Greg.

[Andy Cortez]

Look at that quality. Oh, my God.

[Tim Gettys]

Solid lead.

[Nick Scarpino]

And he's hit every single

[Greg Miller]

this track.

[Andy Cortez]

He's going.

[Nick Scarpino]

The end is in fucking sight.

[Tim Gettys]

Shit.

[Nick Scarpino]

Oh, shit.

[Greg Miller]

He fights three red shells.

[Nick Scarpino]

Oh, my God, there's three red shells. This is the fucking most upsetting thing ever.

[Greg Miller]

You

[Tim Gettys]

everything.

[Greg Miller]

Five red shells. Fucking blue shell. How is Ziger not passing still

[Andy Cortez]

so good.

[Greg Miller]

I can't believe what

[Tim Gettys]

Mark.

[Andy Cortez]

Unbelievable.

[Greg Miller]

Saying that I still did it sucks so bad. We love you, Zer. I put a hot pepper one in there too. We can keep going. Sorry.

[Nick Scarpino]

One of the ones I'll throw out there because live reactions are obviously such a big part of what we do. Right? Live reactions, reviews, and the overall just discussion about video games. I think one of the games that shines among all three of those things is God of War 2018. Oh, I think God of War 2018 had such a reaction to it. And then you jump forward to like. Like even Greg during the review talking about it being maybe his favorite game of all time kind of thing and how that's. And I think there's like, it also persists as a game that all of us. Right. None of us are like, oh, yeah, whatever. God of War 2018. I think all of us kind of look at that as like, damn, yeah,

[Andy Cortez]

that was a special. That was a special one. And they. We talk about, like, trying to recapture the magic and how 2018 is still like a little. It was a little too special for that moment.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

I also think of, like, we've talked about SMASH already, but not only just from the gameplay side of it, but from the reaction and the laptop moment.

[Tim Gettys]

Totally sora with me. And blast.

[Nick Scarpino]

I feel like SMASH ultimate is on

[Tim Gettys]

the list for character reveals alone. I mean, like no other game are we excited to wake up at 6am to react to.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

You know what I mean? Like, it's that in Pokemon. Like, that's it. And even then it's like, it's a strong, even Pokemon.

[Nick Scarpino]

Pokemon Scarlet on the. On the list.

[Tim Gettys]

No, I don't think so.

[Nick Scarpino]

But I like, it got Greg in.

[Greg Miller]

It did.

[Andy Cortez]

And now he's the number one voices.

[Greg Miller]

It's true. I'm the voice of the new generation of Pokemon fans here. Thanks. Don't forget that DLC is coming up in December, everybody. I'll be excited to cover it. Will Tim or does he have to go to Lamaz? You know what I mean?

[Andy Cortez]

You just had a bunch of cotton balls.

[Joey Noel]

I think if there's any Pokemon game, it's the Fire Red, whatever version Nick played for the original Nickelodeon.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, yeah. And this is where it is. So stick with me. I want to have a conversation. I think you can nebulously get away and say, smash Brothers. I'm down because it includes we and it includes it. But it's like Smash Brothers has always been a thing around here from everywhere. But, like, yeah, Pokemon. I think it gets weird where you'd have to pick one.

[Tim Gettys]

I'm with you.

[Andy Cortez]

That.

[Tim Gettys]

For some reason, that makes sense to me.

[Greg Miller]

Okay. It's like pornography. You see it, you know?

[Tim Gettys]

Well, I think a lot of it, too, is like, Smash Wii U and Smash ultimate aren't that different.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

You know, it's the same as Mario Kart 8. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

[Nick Scarpino]

I want to go and watch that Everything is Here trailer again.

[Tim Gettys]

Hell, yeah.

[Nick Scarpino]

Everyone is here.

[Tim Gettys]

It's the greatest thing.

[Nick Scarpino]

Feel something real quick.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Even the first time when we heard that Smash was coming. Yeah. When it was splatoon, the fire in the eye. Like, Jared Petty reacting with us like, that was crazy. 2018. It ended with, oh, my God, take me back.

[Nick Scarpino]

What about Breath of the Wild?

[Tim Gettys]

No, I mean, the thing is, I don't. I actually don't think we did. I think we did a bad job covering that game.

[Greg Miller]

I agree.

[Tim Gettys]

It was a different time, different era. We were so. There were so many. So much less people to talk about things.

[Greg Miller]

Right.

[Tim Gettys]

So. And especially even then with, like, Nintendo codes and then Switch being as fresh and brand new as it was. Colin straight up hated it.

[Greg Miller]

He's like, I'm not gonna buy Switch. Like, oh, yeah. So you and me and I, we like that conversation after that one flight where I did it. But even, like, I know it sounds crazy now, but, like, collaboration still wasn't nearly as easy as it is now. Yeah. Like, getting an IGN person to our game spot in the middle of the day, to our office. No, it was before. We were zooming people in left and right.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Joey Noel]

And like, even just the coverage, I think in terms of just Switch launch was just really hard in terms of just access and stuff. Like, I remember ign, the entirety of that company got one code for Breath of the Wild. So I think just in terms of just where everybody was at. So that's great.

[Greg Miller]

Your pair still hates it. Still mad about it.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. It's tough because I feel like the moment we get to the editorial side, it's to have the games be, like, something that defines us. It can't just be the one thing. It can't just be like the review.

[Greg Miller]

I mean, Dash Row four has it. Parasite Eve.

[Nick Scarpino]

See, I was thinking about Parasite.

[Greg Miller]

We've never played it. We psyched ourselves into wanting a remake so bad.

[Andy Cortez]

So. Okay, let's start with the editorial list. Right now, the podcasting editorial side of things. Last of Us, God of War 2018. A lot of that also having to do with, like, Cory Barlock spoiler cast. And like, great. That. That was MGS5.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

MGS5, I think, is a great one because it spans both streaming stuff where we, you know, for some reason, Konami let us do exclusive streams of that game that have a ton of views. And then. Yeah. Coverage and then Impact and then I'm probably getting.

[Nick Scarpino]

We all love that game.

[Greg Miller]

I'm getting weird with it too, where I would think that, like, it stands in for all the other Metal Gears, which I know kind of cheating, but I think it encompasses the Metal Gear playthrough.

[Nick Scarpino]

I think a Metal Gear has to be on the list.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Nick Scarpino]

So I think MGS 5, I think

[Tim Gettys]

by default it has to be 5. Just because of all of that legacy.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

For those of you all that don't know and weren't watching back then, like, Greg, Colin and Tim and Nick had just left IGN and then formed kind of funny. And then for some reason, Konami and Hideo Kojima were like, do you all want the exclusives on everything?

[Nick Scarpino]

I asked.

[Greg Miller]

I just asked. I'm like, yeah, that's cool. Crazy. They were like, but would you mind if your videos also went up on Gamespot? And I was like, no, we don't mind.

[Tim Gettys]

Please.

[Greg Miller]

We will thousand percent take that deal, please.

[Andy Cortez]

That's. That's such a wild thing to even think about.

[Nick Scarpino]

I remember the graphics package of those let's Plays.

[Tim Gettys]

Right.

[Nick Scarpino]

Did you have the podcast thing going on?

[Tim Gettys]

We went hard.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Nick Scarpino]

Like, for me, that was the first. I know those weren't the first let's plays. Well, those are the first let's plays. I remember standing out like that from Kind of funny.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. One game that I want to shout out that I feel it gets just a little complicated because it's more franchise And I also don't feel bad putting the franchise here. It's Death Stranding because the. The streams, the treadmill streams and all that stuff. Like the effort that Roger put in. But then the song. I feel like that's the thing too. You guys going to Japan and gifting Kojima, all that stuff. Like, I feel like that's big. All. Yeah, exactly. There's so much there that I feel like that's training has to make the. The list. It gets weird because it's one, two, whatever.

[Nick Scarpino]

Two is the one. I mean, two is the thing that I think encompasses most of that stuff. And even them playing the first Death Straining wasn't that was leading into two?

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Greg Miller]

That was all part of the ramp up to it. Yeah, that's a good point. Point. I tossed that Metal Gear.

[Nick Scarpino]

But I mean, to give some credit to one as well, I feel like

[Greg Miller]

this is what you're talking about, right?

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah, this is what I'm talking about. Death Training one.

[Tim Gettys]

God, we're awesome.

[Greg Miller]

The comments hated us so much because I used night vision the entire time because they were very much like, show the game. And I'm like, no, I'm playing the game. Not to mention I filmed it weeks before. There was nothing I could do but

[Nick Scarpino]

correct me if I'm wrong, Death Straining one was the review that kind of kickstarted, kind of funny is, I guess, current idea of reviews where it is.

[Tim Gettys]

All right.

[Nick Scarpino]

We got a whole panel of people that have played this game. We're going to talk about it together.

[Greg Miller]

Was it.

[Nick Scarpino]

I remember Death Straining being like a big shift in how you guys did that.

[Greg Miller]

Okay.

[Nick Scarpino]

Because it led to a really fascinating conversation. Being able to have four people that actually played the video game.

[Tim Gettys]

Well, we always wanted to like that. It was never. It's just. Did we have access? Do we have enough people that were playing and wanted to talk about it? Right. I think that's the difference is around that time we had enough editorial voices to be able to actually make it happen. Make it happen. Because like, before then, it really was just. I was the only one even interested in playing Nintendo games for the most part. Right. And then I feel like PlayStation games, if there was that big first party title, then we would have discussions like that. It's just those were rarer at the time.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, for sure. For sure.

[Tim Gettys]

And Xbox wasn't really doing anything.

[Nick Scarpino]

They're putting out Recore.

[Tim Gettys]

That's true.

[Greg Miller]

They did what super chats we have. Do we have a good suggestion?

[Tim Gettys]

We got a ton of super chats. Yeah. So Crappy Patty says ultimate chicken horse. Got that there. Dave Rose says Andy going into his gamer era. Sick.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh yeah, yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

We'll see that on the stream later. Said Nuggie says where are we putting Cinerdle? And I feel like that definitely like belongs there.

[Nick Scarpino]

That's in the game showdown. The lightning reaction list. If that's a separate list because that

[Tim Gettys]

has taken over the hearts and minds of this company in a way that I don't think anyone at this desk understands. I don't even know what this game is. I have a vague concept, Andy.

[Joey Noel]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Like I don't know what it looks like.

[Andy Cortez]

It's, it's, it's Six degrees of Kevin Bacon sort of thing. You just like, like you name a movie and you, you know, if the actor so and so then you name a movie that another actor is in that movie with. Like it's just kind of like link playing against together.

[Nick Scarpino]

They're playing against somebody online. So it is all right. They say Robert Downey Jr. And then you have to say forget if it's the movie.

[Joey Noel]

They start with a movie.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah.

[Joey Noel]

Like they are like the game will start.

[Nick Scarpino]

Will.

[Joey Noel]

Will start with like a newer movie or something. And then whoever goes first has to name another movie that's related in terms of director. Somebody who worked on like just somebody who worked on it. And then it's you guys going back and forth just. Can you name another movie that's linked to the last.

[Nick Scarpino]

You can't repeat the same actor or the same person three times.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

And it ends up being just like who can name an 80s French film or something. Yeah, yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

And so yeah, Roger, Nick and Joey both on stream, but especially off stream are just playing this non stop.

[Greg Miller]

Sure.

[Tim Gettys]

Like it's endless.

[Greg Miller]

Nick walking around the football, football, football.

[Andy Cortez]

Andy, where's the football? Where'd you put it? I know you. I know you're hiding it.

[Tim Gettys]

We gotta go long.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, overcooked is such a good call out from kebab.

[Tim Gettys]

Overcooked is great. Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Shits. That's a great call out.

[Tim Gettys]

Harrison says. Grateful for the KF crew keeping me sane every day. Truly feels like a family. Thank you so much. This is a fun episode. I saw someone in the chat saying like this is a great one to like learn the history of. Kind of funny if you, if you are newer here. Corey Picchu says the easiest answer would be the Mario 3D world streams. They were peak. Great. You just missed out. Was it the Ben time?

[Greg Miller]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It was, it was Covid. Right.

[Nick Scarpino]

I mean, I'm in the same boat as Greg.

[Greg Miller]

I guess he was.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, it's.

[Greg Miller]

I guess it's. It's not. It's just. It's like anything else at this office where for the most part if you're not on the content, you don't hear about the content. So it's not. I just didn't realize it resonated this much to where people are. Like, this is. I love these kind of conversations to hear what the audience thinks because it is that thing of like, oh yeah, I never would have thought about that. I knew it was. People liked it, but I don't.

[Andy Cortez]

And it's not one of the things where we were in a studio and you could hear yelling and.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

We were just offline. Like you guys weren't in the calls

[Nick Scarpino]

like reviewing a game where I'm recording psl.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, yeah. But those were. Yeah, the, the. I'm excited to see those get played on the Twitch stream during the Thanksgiving break.

[Tim Gettys]

Kebab says Pokemon Emerald for the Nick Lock. Oh, it was Fire Red, but we'll let that slide.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Foxy Steve says when I think kf, I think War Zone with the Gibroni boys. And then Loyal freak says recent kf. I'm honestly thinking Death Stranding 1 or 2. Those marathon streams became instant classics. Definitely melodic quests. Greg being obsessed with Life Is Strange. One is what got me to try it at a. At a time when I've never played narrative based games. Life is Strange is one of my all time favorite games.

[Nick Scarpino]

That's so funny because I was about to bring up Life is Strange. I don't think it makes the list but it. I think that's one where.

[Greg Miller]

Honorable mention.

[Nick Scarpino]

It's a definitely an honorable mention of a thing that whenever a new Life Is Strange game would come out. P.S. i love you. Would kind of light up as far as the conversation goes. Especially me and you and Jamie.

[Greg Miller]

Janet.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah, I have.

[Andy Cortez]

I have a weird one that is. Is one of those probably like an outside looking in, but I think of a game that awakened something in some of us and turned on people to new things. I like this and we even had a podcast about it.

[Tim Gettys]

Bloodborne.

[Nick Scarpino]

Bloodborne has to be on the list.

[Andy Cortez]

We had. We had a podcast just about Bloodborne with me blessing Brian Altano and Greg Miller during the pandemic. Like because it was Greg's first time playing it and it was the first. My first souls games. I think Blessings game and sort of this communal thing of all of Us kind of slowly awakening and going like, oh, these actually are the best games of all time.

[Tim Gettys]

And iconic, like, iconic kind of funny. Let's plays like, when we're talking about first month of kind of funny.

[Andy Cortez]

Like, you're right.

[Tim Gettys]

Colin making Galvatron.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

And the. The Arnum Nugs and all that stuff. Like, that was like, some of the earliest, like, KF memes that there were.

[Andy Cortez]

Right. And then thinking back to Greg streaming that on the one of the kind of funny streams. Maybe it was an extra life.

[Greg Miller]

I forget Tam coming in to help.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah. And then that just sort of turning into, you know what?

[Nick Scarpino]

Souls Mania.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, Souls Mania was immediately playing Sekiro.

[Nick Scarpino]

After that, Andy playing Dark Souls.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah. Just turning me on to a completely different genre because prior to that, like, for people that. That, you know, have just started listening recently, I was obviously a part of the community as a fan for way before I joined, and every comment in every big podcast was, why the don't these guys play souls games? Why aren't they playing Dark Souls? Why aren't they playing, like. And it was like the kingdom come Deliverance two ratcheted up to a million for all of those years of, like, man, they're still not playing this. Oh, come on. This. This list is, like, not valid if they don't have Dark Souls 3 in there or, you know, demons or whatever the hell. So it's like that there was, like, there was a big turning point with Bloodborne and kind of how a lot of us view games and review games.

[Nick Scarpino]

Like, it's not even just the. Oh, we afterwards we played Dark Souls and Elden Ring and all that stuff. I think afterward, it just changed how we played action games in general where, like, we're playing Stellar Blade, we're playing Liza P. We're playing, like, the amount of games that we cover on that side of action now has expanded so much, and that is because of Bloodborne.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, Yeah, I like it.

[Nick Scarpino]

Good video game. Very good video game.

[Tim Gettys]

Zan Fair says Elden Ring, Smash Brothers Mario 3D World Mario Party for Streams, Last of Us, God of War and Spider man for Spoiler cast. Sifu for KF's hype for it. I like. There's a lot there that I think's really, really good. Spider Man, I think, is an interesting one to bring up, right? Yeah, yeah, like, the shirtless Spider Man. Very important. But also, that is a game that I do feel like we covered well, that we did, like, really, like, have a plan. And, like, we went all out the spoiler cast With Brian into Har. Like. Yeah, we. We really like kicked that game's ass. You know, part of me.

[Nick Scarpino]

One or two.

[Tim Gettys]

Two.

[Greg Miller]

Two again. I think putting one in there includes the second one, which I know is cheating.

[Nick Scarpino]

I feel like shirtless Spider man supersedes all of it. Like the lead in into Spider Man 1.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Nick Scarpino]

Because I remember that vividly of like

[Greg Miller]

I. Yeah, we didn't do much for shirtless Spider man and shirtless Miles Morales except for like that one photo shoot.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

And that still got him in Spider Man.

[Nick Scarpino]

But when I think about Spider Man 1, I think all the every khd where Greg would or certain Spider man would come through.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Joey Noel]

That was a saga for sure.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

I do like. I do like that.

[Nick Scarpino]

There's a lot of games.

[Greg Miller]

We're, you know, we're going through the super chats, we're listing them. I'm bold in the ones. We're all like, oh yeah.

[Nick Scarpino]

Picture to bold Sifu.

[Tim Gettys]

Furry B says the MGS streams connected me with y' all kept me alive during the Ponderosa. Thanks for subbing your furry bastard. Thank you very much.

[Andy Cortez]

Furry Bastard.

[Tim Gettys]

Saul says Nick Lock, specifically the first run kebab says one day Lightning reacts will fry some equipment. I really hope not. MC Platypus says the 2021 Game of the Year list does not lie. The KF crew loves Ratchet and Clank. Rift apart. We do.

[Andy Cortez]

Good ass fucking game, dude. Oh.

[Tim Gettys]

Ak.98 says WWE 2K and KFW stand up.

[Greg Miller]

That's a good call. Yeah.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

I feel like that's just so personal to Greg and even the KFW stuff. KFW never did what I thought it was gonna do. I really thought like we're gonna do this and we're gonna bring in so many people to watch. It would be numbers. And it did not ever do game showdown numbers. Like huh. Okay. Yeah. A very, you know, a soft spot for sure. I love that thing. Alana Pierce unbeatable.

[Nick Scarpino]

Somebody says surprise. No mention of Sonic. I feel like if I was here during Sonic Mania time then it'd be such a lock. But I don't think there's been a Sonic that's come out where both me and Tim are like all about at the same time.

[Tim Gettys]

Cuz you were super into frontiers and I wasn't.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

I really shadow generations. I feel like me and Raj like there was a moment but I don't

[Andy Cortez]

think that it like I wasn't.

[Tim Gettys]

He was more like ethereal about Sonic than it was about one specific.

[Joey Noel]

Exactly.

[Nick Scarpino]

Like I think the Sonic thing that being you and Roger are like all into agreeably is the movie. Yeah, movies. But it's not a movie list.

[Joey Noel]

One ol ally that I want to shout out. Knockout City.

[Nick Scarpino]

Oh.

[Joey Noel]

Did take over our lives during the work from home era.

[Nick Scarpino]

Gotta love that game.

[Joey Noel]

And that was like. That was a really fun multiplayer game that got us all together. Even those of us who, like, weren't really part of like, the Jabroni boys playing multiplayer.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, 100%. That's a great call. That's a great call.

[Tim Gettys]

Cameron Kennedy says Death Stranding 2 and Spider man are definitive. To me, Dastro forces Parasite Eve, which is great. Loyal Freak says Redfall. It got Phil Spencer on X Cast. I feel like that's got to go on the editorial side. No.

[Greg Miller]

But I appreciate it.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, I do that. What a moment that was.

[Greg Miller]

I forget that I didn't get him on right. Weren't we gonna do it anyway? And he didn't cancel.

[Nick Scarpino]

Redfall happened.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, he didn't cancel. We were all like, oh, he's probably gonna cancel.

[Nick Scarpino]

But like Redfish Ball did, I think, amplify that interview.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, no, it got it got the eyes on it for sure. Yeah. That's why I try to book Phil Spencer every week, just in case you something up.

[Tim Gettys]

CO OP 64 says Mario Party, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Starfield Bits. Patel says the DND with Critical Role and Nick's One Shot.

[Greg Miller]

I like that. But again, I, I. It's funny sitting and be like, what games? What non video games. Define it.

[Andy Cortez]

You know, I get so many like, y' all need to do another DND and I'm like, talk to Nick Scarpino. Okay?

[Nick Scarpino]

I'm trying to learn how to DM so I can make it happen. I'm tired of Nick just sitting there.

[Andy Cortez]

Do something, Nick. Do a DND thing again.

[Tim Gettys]

Huey says, can we add Mike's adventure in Kingdom Hearts? No, I mean, if anything, I'd be. I'd do Final Fantasy 10 because Mike. Mike's journey with Final Fantasy 10, it's one of those things of like, if y' all don't know, you need to watch that content. He. I've never seen a man fall in love with anything, video game or otherwise. More than the way that he talks about this game that I also love dearly. But it's like seeing him that it might be the most special game playthrough stream in the history of mankind. Mike playing Final Fantasy 10. And I'm not exaggerating or being hyperbolic at all he was all in. And it's one of those things I'm like, Mike's not gonna like this game. And he loved.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

You never know what he's a person.

[Joey Noel]

And that's why I know if he gives an actual shot, he will love Expedition 33.

[Tim Gettys]

I know.

[Greg Miller]

He says he is this break.

[Tim Gettys]

Then Beaches says Last of us too. Because the reaction review and spoiler cast. Yeah, I agree. Dean says, speaking of awakenings, Mike's Final Fantasy 7 Remake lore breakdowns and Kingdom Heart Stream are some of my favorites. Broken Roses says Ding Dong xl.

[Greg Miller]

Remember that? We loved that.

[Tim Gettys]

I gotta.

[Andy Cortez]

We gotta find for this playlist one or two standout episodes. Maybe I'll talk to Mike and maybe we'll get questions from chat. But like for this Thanksgiving playlist, figure out what the standout Elden Ring Co Op playthroughs episodes should be. Maybe the Pink Gate. That was. You know, there was a big moment where we didn't know who was putting pings on the map. There was a big argument that ensued. A lot of yelling.

[Joey Noel]

I would.

[Andy Cortez]

I wouldn't even put like.

[Joey Noel]

Like, to me, it's the stream where blessing real. We all realize blessings. Fear of hands.

[Greg Miller]

Like that drunk when he shook that thing of bourbon.

[Andy Cortez]

That was Resident Evil. Yeah.

[Joey Noel]

No, no.

[Andy Cortez]

Him being Juggles Resident Evil. We're talking about a normal elder.

[Joey Noel]

Yeah, it was just like a normal day stream. And like, to me, that's the first stream I think of for Elden Ring.

[Andy Cortez]

Creed says the final Elden Ring stream. When Mike dressed like Anthony Fantano, he was trying things. He was trying stuff. Circle glasses.

[Nick Scarpino]

Were other people with Bucks next? The way we were with Bucks next. There were Bucks next.

[Joey Noel]

I don't even know if all of us were.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah, that might have been me and Greg.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. I think it was just this. I don't think it had that movement. No.

[Tim Gettys]

Sky says, I've got no games to have. I just want to say Happy Thanksgiving to the crew. Hope you all have a great holiday. Thanks so much, Sky. And Grim says thanks for all the content, guys. All right, so I feel like we can start to lock this in.

[Greg Miller]

We have a comprehensive list here of games. Yeah. So right now. Yeah, we had put in Nidhawk 2 and Emily's away as locks. Then ones we've bolded that we've been all about or I bolded Bloodborne metal gear solid 5 death straining to the Last of Us God of War 2018 Spider Man Sony's first party. Yeah, exactly.

[Tim Gettys]

Like true though.

[Greg Miller]

Sifu is the One that bless called out to be there.

[Andy Cortez]

Sifu's got to be there.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, I think and then I think

[Greg Miller]

so then I think it's like those are ones we've we bolded. And then it might even be easier to go through and start eliminating Starfield

[Andy Cortez]

has to be there.

[Nick Scarpino]

I feel like that's such a Greg specific one though.

[Andy Cortez]

But like that just took over so

[Greg Miller]

much of our we did do it however long stream. Not that I'm fighting for it.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah, I guess we did. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

It's like this is the thing especially I'll stand out of the argument because like, like I don't know an audience you can chime in or whatever. Like I think there's the argument to be made because of the gigantic stream. Then I think obviously I'm the only person in the industry who likes Starfield. And then like for me personally, you know, coming up on 19 years doing this like the Starfield one man spoiler cast is my favorite thing I've ever done. Like any. Any article, any video. Like I just am so proud of that in the narrative and the conversation. Like that'd be. But again this isn't the games that define Greg Miller's thing. So I'm just putting out there.

[Andy Cortez]

I thought you're gonna say coming up on my 19th playthrough.

[Joey Noel]

Still looking for Andre.

[Greg Miller]

I talked about this in Greg way. I got to go see or they. I had a. I had a. I had a meeting with Bethesda and a bunch of other people like other creators where they showed us what they're working on for the future and that's all I'm allowed to say. But of Starfield. Oh of Starfield. I'm allowed to say that Google. I'm allowed to see that.

[Nick Scarpino]

I just meant the future.

[Greg Miller]

Let's talk about Elder Scrolls. Yeah, you like Starfield. Stop talking about Starfield. Let's look at. But anyways I think then let's start working through the list we have now in either like Axum or think about them or whatever. Pico Park. I say he's got to go.

[Tim Gettys]

Well, I mean I think even the ones that we. That you bolded already, I feel like we got to be a little bit more critical.

[Greg Miller]

I agree but I think we can.

[Nick Scarpino]

I feel like those are all the editorial picks we got to bold the gameplay.

[Tim Gettys]

I think we cut God of War. When I look at this list, I don't think that God of War is.

[Joey Noel]

I would cut Last of Us before God of War because I associate God of War and yalls coverage of God of War and how much that meant to y' all in terms of, like, kind of funny as a company rather than Last of Us, which had come out a couple of years before. Kind of Funny even started the Last

[Tim Gettys]

of Us to the Last of Us show. Like, I feel like, how many times have Last of Us been in a headline for us? Like, probably more than anything else.

[Andy Cortez]

How many times did. Before I joined the company, were you all using the same image of Kratos for thumbnails?

[Nick Scarpino]

I mean, that was every outlet.

[Andy Cortez]

That was every thumbnail.

[Greg Miller]

People loved them. They couldn't get enough.

[Nick Scarpino]

I mean, I could see. I could see maybe even both getting cut.

[Tim Gettys]

There's no way we cut Last of Us like that. I think the Last of Us is like the most obvious editorial thing.

[Joey Noel]

To me, that's MGS5 as editorial almost.

[Greg Miller]

I think we.

[Nick Scarpino]

I think we cut God of War.

[Greg Miller]

Then.

[Andy Cortez]

I just think of how important that Cory Barlog spoiler cast was. Like, that was. I feel like the first time we did something like that as I guess as like whatever this modern team is, you know,

[Nick Scarpino]

I mean, should we bold other things and see what we would.

[Greg Miller]

That's what I would say. I think this is first pass. We can come back to this argument and see how untenable this list is. Yeah, we go because the move on. Yeah. I would say Pico park doesn't make it.

[Nick Scarpino]

I agree.

[Greg Miller]

Super Mario 3D world, I would say doesn't make it because right underneath it's War Zone. I think Warzone has to be make it.

[Nick Scarpino]

I think War Zone has to make it.

[Greg Miller]

And I mean right now, for make it, I'm. I'm going to put it into bold, the bold category. But I'll tell you right now, I'm going to. I think that that and the Jabroni Boys, like, that's such a defining thing.

[Nick Scarpino]

I think 3D world is. There's a conversation.

[Greg Miller]

Okay, does anybody want to fight for Pico Park?

[Tim Gettys]

No, not.

[Greg Miller]

I'm just going to delete it. Then.

[Andy Cortez]

Guitar by chance asks for. Want to hear Cole's thoughts?

[Greg Miller]

He's been asleep this entire podcast dropping fart bombs. He's fine. Lightning reaction. I love on this list. I think it should be on this list. Honestly, conversations be going of like, oh, a list that isn't games or whatever.

[Tim Gettys]

Well, I mean, it is a game. I. I think Lightning Reaction undeniably is on the list. Compared to so many of these things, it's lighting reaction.

[Greg Miller]

I concur.

[Andy Cortez]

I think this list could maybe follow a Trend that's been happening with kind of funny recently in recent times where instead of 10, we pick 15.

[Joey Noel]

If you wanted to make that motion, you should have made it four months ago.

[Andy Cortez]

Putting 12 on the list.

[Nick Scarpino]

No, you change the headline to 15.

[Andy Cortez]

15.

[Greg Miller]

I mean, I submitted top 125 games.

[Joey Noel]

I would.

[Nick Scarpino]

I mean, I vote for keeping it to video games just because I think we're already in a place where it's tough.

[Greg Miller]

Tough.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

I put we'll put it on the bold list, but I won't bold it and we'll come back to it because I think again, as we start making harder choices, it's going to be hard. But I would. Yeah. Connect three and five in game showdown. I would eliminate me too.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

They were nice conversations.

[Nick Scarpino]

Eldon Ring action over that, huh? That's crazy.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Nick Scarpino]

I work so hard.

[Greg Miller]

100 sports machin. I would. I would kill.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Killer queen. I would kill.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Mario party. I would leave for now. Elden ring. I. I would kill, but I think that's a known one. I would kill.

[Nick Scarpino]

I mean, we have bloodborne there.

[Greg Miller]

My fingers off the punch.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, we have bloodborne.

[Nick Scarpino]

I think we kill elder.

[Greg Miller]

Okay.

[Andy Cortez]

But that. But I will say, like, just being, you know, having a gigantic game and being told by your bosses, like, all right, you don't got to be on content for these four or five days. Just play the fuck out of this game.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

It was just like the best time.

[Nick Scarpino]

Let me tell you about tears of the kingdom. Greatest two weeks of my life.

[Greg Miller]

I want to go back. Towerfall again is a great poll and an honorable mention, one that I think of a lot, but I think it's a good Oli. Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Outside looking in right there.

[Joey Noel]

I feel like a lot of these games, like mount your friends, ultimate chicken horse are kind of represented by that. Nidhog 2.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, shit. Mario Tennis aces birth. I mean, well, that didn't birth Johnny Ace, but, like, that's where he found his footing, you know,

[Greg Miller]

not your friends. I would drop chicken horse. I would leave on the short list, but I'm wasting time. I know I won't cut it. I agree with Nidhogg being the one.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. I'm there too.

[Greg Miller]

Friday the 13th, I would go to the mat for again, my favorite streams, my favorite let's plays. My obsession with that game that did infect content, but it was like. Like we did so much around Friday the 13th, and I was so fun to be Jason.

[Tim Gettys]

It's funny because to me, I put Friday the 13th in the WWE category of just like, this is a. Greg loves this thing.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

That. I don't know that it ever got to the point that anyone else loved it nearly as much.

[Greg Miller]

But I did force you all to.

[Tim Gettys]

But I do think that one of the. What's the word that I'm blanking on right now?

[Greg Miller]

Asymmetrical.

[Tim Gettys]

Asymmetrical.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, Predator Hunting.

[Tim Gettys]

One of the asymmetrical games. Like, yes, like, for sure. That is, I think, a.

[Greg Miller]

A.

[Tim Gettys]

A kind of funny staple.

[Greg Miller]

Do you go. And Predator is right underneath. Friday 13th we did mention. Do you go Predator?

[Tim Gettys]

I'd go Predator. I go Predator because. Because of who the cast was. Right. Who was doing the Friday the 13th ones. It was literally what bodies could people even. Like, Andrea was there. Like, it's just like, who's in the room? You know? Whereas, like, Predator, I feel like there was a lot more buy in.

[Greg Miller]

And then, like, that's standing on the ground.

[Joey Noel]

And that was also the saga of, like, Owl the Predator tribesman.

[Andy Cortez]

Like, actually, like, he'd been like a

[Joey Noel]

character through KFAF almost because he was someone who'd regularly write in. But then that game became this whole, like, story with all of you and having this regular cast. Yeah, I could see Predator.

[Greg Miller]

All right, for short list, I'll leave Predator then. Yeah. Starfield, Marvel's Avengers. You're in the same ballpark of these are Greg obsessed.

[Tim Gettys]

I'd go Starfield over Avengers. I think in terms of.

[Greg Miller]

I would too. I mean, you all had to hear me talk about Avengers a lot. But even in the grand scheme of things, I think it was maybe not as much as we think it was. We can leave Starfield there.

[Andy Cortez]

Mario Kart 8 has to be there.

[Greg Miller]

Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros. I think you're in the same boat of. I would leave them on the short list. I don't know how they do Sin two nurtle. I would kill.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, me too.

[Greg Miller]

Overcooked is on here. I would kill it as well.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

I mean, we love overcooked and we've played a lot of it. We make Joyo mad with it. Life is strange. Knockout city. Great call outs, but kill him.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

All right, so what does this leave us with?

[Nick Scarpino]

How Many is that?

[Tim Gettys]

Seventeen. We have 17 games. We need to cut seven of them.

[Greg Miller]

This dog's actually.

[Tim Gettys]

It's tough, man.

[Greg Miller]

This dog does not understand that someone is doing something back there behind the curtain.

[Joey Noel]

Ignore the man behind the curtain.

[Greg Miller]

I told you it was Kev dog.

[Nick Scarpino]

The top 10 we have here because we have in the top 10 right now we have Nidhog 2, Emily is away Bloodborne MGS5, Death Training 2 Lass, God of War 2018, Spider Man, Sifu and COD War Zone.

[Joey Noel]

I think it like I still think

[Nick Scarpino]

we can get rid of God of War and bring in something else.

[Tim Gettys]

Looking at our most popular videos of all time. Not that this is necessarily.

[Greg Miller]

Yep, yep.

[Tim Gettys]

And I'll be all. But it is interesting because obviously at number one, we have Guitar Hero live. But number two, we have Last of Us to spoiler cast. And that there's a pretty definitive drop off after that. Views wise, like we go from almost a million down to like under half a million. But we get into metal gear solid 5 Phantom Pain. There's a couple of them in the top 10 videos. Phil Spencer's interview for Redfall. But God of War spoiler cast right behind that.

[Nick Scarpino]

And then.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, there's surprising amount of Horizon stuff here.

[Nick Scarpino]

I feel like that's.

[Greg Miller]

No, we didn't. No, this is.

[Nick Scarpino]

Y' all act like y' all hated that game. We all know we can't turn on it because I just. Popular thing.

[Greg Miller]

A bad taste in my mouth at the end of the second game.

[Nick Scarpino]

That's fair.

[Greg Miller]

Such a bad taste.

[Nick Scarpino]

And then I played the VR game. It was the worst taste.

[Andy Cortez]

Jesus.

[Greg Miller]

What do you play this mobile one Blessing.

[Joey Noel]

I've always been a Horizon hater, so, you know, thank you.

[Nick Scarpino]

At least somebody here is honest. Do the Sifu hang.

[Joey Noel]

I. That's what I'm thinking because like, I feel like right now that top 10 is so weighted heavily to the like, coverage. Coverage side. I don't feel like we have enough of the Mario party. Mario Kart 8.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. The thing about seafood though is like, I do think that it's. It is a unique to us. We loved it and it was editorially covered by us. But then also there was the race stream which was like very creative and awesome and we all put our all in and like that is a very uniquely kind of funny thing. Like, I don't think anybody. I don't think any other outlet could have done a four person sifu race.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Joey Noel]

The game and present it the way we did at the time.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Joey Noel]

That was shout out to Kev. That was crazy.

[Tim Gettys]

That was crazy.

[Nick Scarpino]

Technologically, I feel like out of the bottom seven we have here, I feel like Mario 3D world has to be there. If I'm picking one, I would go

[Joey Noel]

party or cart 8 over 3D world.

[Tim Gettys]

I would cut party. I feel like party is a punchline. It's something we Do. But it's not who we are.

[Andy Cortez]

Right.

[Greg Miller]

I agree with that. So let's cut party.

[Nick Scarpino]

That muscle.

[Greg Miller]

And I would go. I would go Mario Kart 8 over world. But again, I think giving up the week.

[Nick Scarpino]

I didn't watch the streams, but I've seen the glow in their eyes. Like they would come into the meetings with the meetings talking about like, man, that. That Mario 3D world stream. Like it seemed like there. It seemed like such a great time that I feel like it has to be.

[Tim Gettys]

It's. It's a weird thing where that the 3D world stream is I think some of the best content we've ever made. And it's so good. But it was just that one thing, you know, like we could never. But it was.

[Greg Miller]

Chad is very about it. World over card. I think world stays 3D. World was so special.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. It just. Cart, I feel like had more iconic moments with us throughout time. But I also think our list is pretty heavily weighted towards those early days at this point.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. So I think as we list. Look at this list. Personally, I would say you can kill Starfield. You can kill Smash Brothers. We're having such. We're having such detailed conversations. Or Smash the dunce now.

[Tim Gettys]

I can't imagine cutting Smash.

[Nick Scarpino]

Cutting Smash is tough.

[Andy Cortez]

Well, I just did it because of the reactions.

[Tim Gettys]

That's the thing is I feel like it has to be there.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah. Smash has to be there. The reactions are just too strong for it. You should play it more.

[Andy Cortez]

I think you cut Lightning reaction. It's the only non video game.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, I'm down for that.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. Start making space for time.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Nick Scarpino]

At least this was 14 here.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. God, this gets really hard.

[Nick Scarpino]

I feel like last was. Last was God of War. And Spider man is egregious. Is kind of egregious.

[Tim Gettys]

I agree.

[Andy Cortez]

Just call it Sony because I feel

[Tim Gettys]

like I'm saying God of War.

[Nick Scarpino]

They all do the same thing or not the same thing, but they all do very similar things as far as what they mean to. Kind of funny.

[Andy Cortez]

I'm okay with cutting God of War.

[Nick Scarpino]

I'm also okay with cutting War.

[Joey Noel]

Have we re. Have we thought about death stranding too?

[Nick Scarpino]

I think that's training. Has to be there.

[Tim Gettys]

I think it has to be there. I think that's.

[Joey Noel]

I think more of their IRL or not irl but like the. Them being in that room content more so the game itself, dude.

[Andy Cortez]

But Caroline Polache.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, that's the.

[Andy Cortez]

That's so huge.

[Tim Gettys]

And the treadmill stream, it's. I feel like there's just like, there's a lot there that just.

[Joey Noel]

Yeah, yeah.

[Nick Scarpino]

Okay.

[Tim Gettys]

Okay.

[Andy Cortez]

Mike got. His body got loose. He peed.

[Tim Gettys]

Because even if it is the story, Barrett, it's one of the best stories of all time.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Like the combination of the Carolyn politic and Snow. Mike. Mike goes big. Like, come on, man.

[Joey Noel]

That's fair.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, this is so tough though.

[Greg Miller]

Like Predator has to go.

[Tim Gettys]

I don't know, man. I think Predators, like, I think it's very core to who we are.

[Nick Scarpino]

Is that more core than. Oh, is World gone?

[Greg Miller]

Yes. No, sorry.

[Nick Scarpino]

Oh, yeah, it's right there. I feel like World is more. I feel like looking at the streaming gameplay games, I feel like Predator is last on the list. Right. Because Warzone is for sure on there. Like World is for sure on there.

[Greg Miller]

As a member of the voting public and just what I mean, whatever. I think I personally, what I would do is cut Sifu Cart and Smash Brothers and then you'd have that 10 there and I could even see. I could even see cutting the Last of Us.

[Andy Cortez]

I would cut the last of us. I would cut the last of us. Only because I feel like Spider man does the same thing Last of Us is doing. But they're in the fucking video games. Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

And that's crazy.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

And you mentioning Tim that like Mario Party is a thing we do. Like, I. I know that like Last of Us massive views for us, but like, I still don't necessarily think of us as like, yeah, the last. I don't know.

[Tim Gettys]

I could not disagree more. I. I feel like people didn't like season two, so everyone's a little like, about Last.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, the TV show got.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, I like season.

[Joey Noel]

It's not even that, like, I just. I don't know. Personally, I don't think of the Last of Us. When I think of kind of funny as a group, I think of these other, like, I. If we're talking about the other PlayStation games, I think more about Spider Man, Bloodborne, Metal Gear Solid five. I know that's a bit more.

[Nick Scarpino]

I think Last us are kind of funny more than even metal gear solid 5.

[Tim Gettys]

Me too.

[Nick Scarpino]

But I think metal gear solid 5 is just more foundational to what the company's done. But like, when I think kind of, if you were to ask me what's the game that kind of funny loves, I would say Last was.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, okay, that's true.

[Nick Scarpino]

I could see it would hurt, but I could see Sifu going, remember when

[Greg Miller]

Nick and I streamed Last of Us and so hung up on the beans

[Nick Scarpino]

like do we start looking at these and going which of these are more particular to like fewer members?

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Nick Scarpino]

Like should we start looking at things of like okay, everybody was in on this thing and then keep, keep those things Because I feel like Sifu might have been more of a me. Tim Barrett. Well, Andy loves Sifu as well.

[Joey Noel]

I love See again, it was number three on that list that year.

[Nick Scarpino]

Ye was number three.

[Andy Cortez]

I mean I'm. Well you mentioning that. Bless. I'm looking at Bloodborne.

[Joey Noel]

I, I would keep bloodborne because you two it like U3 or whatever. But I think what that meant for kind of funny going forward in terms of what we with in terms of video games.

[Tim Gettys]

My one argument against bloodborne is that when I think Bloodborne, I think of Tammy. You know, I don't think of our guys.

[Andy Cortez]

It's more of like an I think of Andy.

[Joey Noel]

I think of Andy.

[Tim Gettys]

I, I, well, I think I'm think of him.

[Andy Cortez]

Well every, every review thinking or every state of play is like Bloodborne remaster. But you know, like, yeah, that, that, that has like staying power. But to me I think Bloodborne was so foundational. But if we were to go with a souls game, it would be Elden Ring over that.

[Nick Scarpino]

I think if you're, if you remove Bloodborne from the kind of funny timeline, our gameplay coverage looks completely different.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, I agree with that. But I don't know that bloodborne defines us.

[Nick Scarpino]

I, I guess if I'm going by

[Greg Miller]

the change, I think, I mean I'll just a shout out make get a spot going. Like I, I, I think of Friday 13th. So if Predator is on this list and you got we're not feeling. I think we're getting down to hard choices here. Predator was great streams. I think Friday 13th were better streams. But I mean like, like if I

[Nick Scarpino]

can confess something, I hated being on those Predator streams. I, I didn't, I wanted to leave

[Greg Miller]

it there.

[Nick Scarpino]

I didn't have the heart to say that I didn't want to play Predator. I still knew what the company with both of those.

[Joey Noel]

I don't know if either of Those hang with 3D World Cart or Smash Brothers.

[Greg Miller]

No, I'm, I'm not saying put Friday 13th in. I'm saying cut Predator.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah, yeah.

[Greg Miller]

I'm just saying let's. We got to start making.

[Andy Cortez]

I see what you're saying.

[Greg Miller]

I got, got some frozen pizza out there. I want to eat before this goddamn our grader stream.

[Andy Cortez]

I see what you're just saying.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, I'm not going to fight for Predator so I was like, whatever.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

We need to cut two more.

[Nick Scarpino]

Does. I'll say something controversial.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, shoot.

[Nick Scarpino]

Does Emily is away hang.

[Greg Miller]

I was right there with you.

[Nick Scarpino]

When we look at this list, I

[Greg Miller]

feel like Nidhogg is that early. Let's play whatever. Emily's away are super special.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

And they. They are great definition of how weird and goofy we get on streams and drunk hyphy stupid. But you know know.

[Joey Noel]

Never say that again.

[Tim Gettys]

Damn.

[Nick Scarpino]

Please.

[Tim Gettys]

Every time, Greg, it does something internally to me that I can't get back.

[Andy Cortez]

It's permanent damage.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, man.

[Nick Scarpino]

Too tall over here again.

[Tim Gettys]

I know that we Noel.

[Greg Miller]

I hated that we have to make

[Tim Gettys]

a list of 10. But, like, I. I feel like Emily away is away is just too chat's with you.

[Greg Miller]

It seems like they're all. They're still in it.

[Nick Scarpino]

Can we cut Nidhogg?

[Greg Miller]

I'm okay with cutting him a Nidhog was so. I think, no, I refuse. Nidhogg has been such a constant of us constantly. If. If Nidhogg had stopped the way Idarb did or Towerfall did or whatever. Like the games we played back in the day that we really. Oh, even super sports machin.

[Andy Cortez]

Right. But we played this one we played at the studio opening.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

Like, that's crazy that it lasted that long.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. You know, you can't get rid of that.

[Joey Noel]

And I would think about the last of us.

[Andy Cortez]

I'd cut Emily's away.

[Greg Miller]

I'm not against it, but again, I think it's still.

[Andy Cortez]

I think Emily is away goes in the same line as like, a lot of other really awesome streams.

[Greg Miller]

So let's have this conversation. Then let's go Back to Mario Kart 8. We love Mario Kart. Mario Kart is great. Barrett and Tim are gods at Mario Kart. Like, we played a lot of Mario Kart, but I don't. And like this Eiger clip. Sure. But I don't remember.

[Andy Cortez]

Like, it's like Mario Party. It's something we do.

[Greg Miller]

It doesn't.

[Tim Gettys]

But I think it's different. I think Mario Kart is different. Different mainly because, like, the early days of those let's plays of how often we would go back and like, how big a deal again, the hot pepper stuff and all that. But

[Joey Noel]

it's a little bit of an in between between Mario Party and Smash Bros. Like, I would keep Smash. Like, I would cut Cart before Smash Brothers.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah. I think Smash Bros Spans the other facets of the company.

[Tim Gettys]

I'm down for that.

[Nick Scarpino]

Gameplay plus reactions plus coverage. And talking about it.

[Tim Gettys]

So it's cut cart, which seems crazy.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Now you just gotta get one out of here.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

I'd cut Sifu.

[Nick Scarpino]

I was gonna say, is it sifu?

[Greg Miller]

I would. I would cut Sifu.

[Nick Scarpino]

Yeah, that hurts.

[Andy Cortez]

It hurts. But I think, I mean, it's hard

[Nick Scarpino]

for me to look at any of the. Any of the other ones.

[Andy Cortez]

I just, I would put Emily's away before Sifu because I also think Emily is away is joining a lot of other stuff in, like, older, classic kind of funny.

[Greg Miller]

I, I. Kennedy is threatening violence. If you cut Emily's away, people will burn the studio over.

[Andy Cortez]

Like, I would cut seafood.

[Greg Miller]

He knows where the studio is personally.

[Nick Scarpino]

Still a goat. Let's play Emily's away.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Looking at these, this list of, like, now that we're so close, I want this list to be something that we're proud of. Right. But when we post this online, that it does say something, we're like, yeah, I stand by that. And with that, that I want to keep Emily is away and seafu. And I'm saying this. I'm willing to lose 3D world.

[Greg Miller]

I don't think to make that call.

[Joey Noel]

I would say 3D world does feel like a moment in time with like a small group of people within. Kind of funny.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Joey Noel]

Similar to a predator,

[Andy Cortez]

but similar to Sifu as well.

[Nick Scarpino]

See?

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

All right. The chat's saying cut Sifu.

[Andy Cortez]

Put it on the poll.

[Nick Scarpino]

Remind me why Spider Man. I guess we're in the game. That's why

[Greg Miller]

the coverage breakdowns, that was

[Andy Cortez]

like one of my. I think, I think Spider man was like one of the first things I went to go cover.

[Greg Miller]

I say cut Sifu. Yeah, I'm with the chat on this one again. Sifu. I think we all liked in the. The. When I think of Sifu and I think it kind of funny, I think of the head to head stream y' all did. That was very technically impressive and cool.

[Joey Noel]

If we cut Sifu, let's cut 3D World and bring back Mario Kart. That's the last thing I will input there.

[Tim Gettys]

All right. I'm gonna say I've been defending last of us to my dying breath, and I still do. But I'd cut last of us before Sifu.

[Nick Scarpino]

Really?

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, I don't know about that.

[Greg Miller]

Can't help you. We've done so much coverage of it.

[Nick Scarpino]

What if we rename the title of this the games that define kind of funny brought to you by Sifu?

[Greg Miller]

I hope you just rename it.

[Nick Scarpino]

We put it in the graphic Put it in like the text.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, there is a poll op. What is the poll? I can't see.

[Greg Miller]

It's gonna be what do we cut? And it's gonna be what, Sifu or world Is that?

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, Combo.

[Greg Miller]

That was when. When he said, hey, do the poll. That's what we showed you. Yeah. Sifu. What do we cut? Sifu or world? Sifu is 4. 75 right now.

[Joey Noel]

Number three. It was number three on our list that year.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, what a good game.

[Greg Miller]

Not a bad but. Yeah, but, you know, there's a lot we do list. What was number one on the list that year?

[Joey Noel]

God of War, Ragnarok didn't make on the list.

[Greg Miller]

There you go.

[Nick Scarpino]

Damn.

[Greg Miller]

And the deal is done.

[Joey Noel]

And then let's replace 3D World with cart.

[Greg Miller]

No, I like 3D World.

[Nick Scarpino]

They're better. I just like that game.

[Andy Cortez]

I think Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart is better than God of War Ragnarok.

[Joey Noel]

I hate you.

[Tim Gettys]

Let us know in the comments.

[Greg Miller]

Well, now we got to read through it real quick.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you think about our list, which is is number one, Nidhogg two. Number two, Emily is away, three, Bloodborne, four. Metal Gear Solid five, five. Death Stranding two. Six. The Last of Us, seven, Spider man, eight, COD War Zone, nine. Super Mario 3D World. And ten, Super Smash Brothers. Let us know what we missed, what you agree with, what you disagree with. All of that and play Sifu. That's. That's the most important takeaway of all of this.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Until next time. I love you all.

[Andy Cortez]

Remember that. Third level.

[Greg Miller]

Happy Thanksgiving. See you at the stream. We're going to be bad.
