The Internet's calling it an insurmountable leap. The amount of stars I have just. Oh, don't roll your eyes. You're going to regret that. Oh, you're going to get that. Oh, you're going to regret that one too. Don't do them back to back. You did two of them. I'm on another. I'm like, heads up, everybody. Seven stars. Four stars. One. I can't be stopped. I'm going to win. And if you thought the parade was a celebration, you ain't seen nothing yet. Wes. Oh, we're of course starting off with the trivia question worth an entire star. About to be eight. About to be eight. This is a round of bullet points. I'm going to read to you details about a game one bullet point at a time. It is your job to buzz in and guess what this game is. You can buzz in once per bullet point, starting with the first one. The game was re released in 2015 on Steam and eventually carried over to modern consoles. It was re released in 2015 on Steam and eventually carried over to modern consoles. Tim Geddes. Batman. Arkham Asylum. Arkham Asylum is incorrect. It looks like there's no other guesses so we're going to move on. Greg Miller. Halo. Halo is incorrect. Bullet point number two. The game studio considered using emus and ostriches for the motion capture of certain creatures. The game studio considered Greg Miller. Turok. Turok. Dinosaur hunter is the correct what? Answer. What? You can still stop the show right now. Save yourself some time. Views are dropping. Like, this is what happens. People are like, why would I come watch two men get dominated by another man? But when you look at a color like orange, you're used to seeing that on the Internet. Of course. The star tracker is up. That does bring team orange up from seven stars. What? That was insane. I will Hear just. Did you know that? No, no. It sounds like I might have heard it somewhere. Just a spoiler, everybody. I was brushing my teeth and I had the epiphany. I'm going to win today. I'm going to lose next season, but I'm going to win this one and I'm stoked about. Well, congratulations, Team Orange and Greg Miller. Remember, this is Game Showdown.

Thank you to our Patreon producers, Karl Jacobs, Omega, Buster and Delaney. The som twining for for now, let's play round robin. Starting off, I'm going to need co captain of team Purple, Mike Howard to join us on no collusion. That's a rule now. There's no collusion. I'm still not over it. He's got to keep his mouth shut back there. Flabbergasted by that. Wow, that was fantastic. I mean it's just like they're big things that dinos I could see, you know, I just made. That's what I was guessing. You think emu's an ostrich. You think dinosaurs. Yeah. See it. Of course, the rules are simple. I try to help you. You did. That's what I'm talking about. The rules are simple. Round robin is a pretty straightforward question and answer game about video games. I'll give you a question. Yeah. Every buzzers that you use to buzz in and answer said question, you can buzz in once per round. If you give the correct answer, that is 10 points. However, today's round robin is a bit different from normal. Since much of this season has contained collusion between team Orange and team Purple against team Blue, this round robin will be a 3v1 challenge. Yeah. Greg of team Orange and both Andy and Mike of team Purple will share one scoreboard and one buzzer and face off against Tim of team Blue. Now, now hear me out. There's going to be something if teams Orange and Purple win the round. I'm sorry, real quick, can you hear us out? Can we work on a better name than Barrett's doing Great job, Barrett. Now, if teams Orange and Purple win the round, they each earn one star. Oh, my God. Nice. If Tim wins, team Blue earns three stalkers. That is one for each person he's facing currently. I like that. That's horseshit. And there's a theme of this round. We're doing a full round of Nintendo Trivial. Of course it is. Let's go. Contestants, this is. Are you ready? I love this. You. Look at your little smile. You know it is. You smirking motherfucker. Hey, how did we get here? How did we get here? How did we get here? And by playing the game. What's up, Barrett? Just for production though, you guys will be using one buzzer and it'll be the purple buzzer. There you go. The loser. The loser buzzer. Second place contestants, are you ready? Yes. Hand on it. We're ready. Round one. What was the first Nintendo game to have a save game feature? Tim Gettys. The Legend of Zelda. The Legend of Zelda is the correct answer. That is 10 points for Team Blue. Happens so fast. Round two, Punch out is a popular 80s boxing arcade game developed by Nintendo and was the debut Nintendo project of which famous Nintendo composer Team Orange we're discussing. They're talking Koji Kondo. Yeah, Koji Kondo is answer. That's 10 points for Porrinch. I wish that was a microphone picking up. I'll bring a mic. I'll bring my microphone over. Mike's is picking up enough of it. Round number three. Which pro baseball team did Nintendo become majority owner of in 1990? Team Seattle Mariners. Damn it. Damn. Seattle Mariners is the correct answer. Feel free anytime. Feel free to slam it. He doesn't know anything about Ken Griffey Jr. He doesn't know about Jay Buer. He doesn't know anything. Fuck. Ichiro. Round four, this close your mouth is a numbers game. I'm going to ask you the number of a certain thing. You'll each get a chance to guess the number with no repeat guesses allowed. Whoever gets the closest without going over. We're not buzzing in. You're not buzzing in. Whoever gets the closest without going over will get the points. If you both go over, then the lowest guess gets the points. Contestants, are you ready? So we're not each. But it's still the team. It's just the teams. Got it. Yeah. Including unlockable characters, how many total playable characters are there in. In the GameCube title F0GX A? I'm going to start off with Tim. How many total playable characters, including unlockable characters, are there in Gamecube title F0GX? 25. Tim says 25 and it's closest without going over. Correct. I lean back in closest. So do we just. Do we just do the one we just go without going over. And I should clarify that if you. If you both go over, the lowest guess gets it right. But price is right rules. Yes. So we just say one. Right. Thomas got on me the closest. Not going over because he would have gone over. We're gonna say one. You're gonna say one. The correct answer. 41 playable characters, meaning team blue gets the points there. I was playing with strategy there because I was like, I'm pretty. I know the number's over 30. Yeah. But I was like, I'm going to go a little lower to smart. I like that. I like that. Round number five. 50. 50. We still fucked it up, you know. Now, last season, I did a special round called who's that character? Today we're doing a Pokemon edition. Nice. I'm going to show you a silhouette of a video of a Pokemon. Your task is to buzz in and tell me and tell me the name of that Pokemon. Each correct answer is 10 points. Contestants, are you ready? Yes. Barrett, ring up round one. Who's that Pokemon Team porn. Pikachu. That's Pikachu. Pikachu is the correct job answer. Barrett, bring up round two. Team por. So we got weeping bell. Yeah. Or victory bell. Oh, sh. Hold up, hold up. Okay. I don't know which one it is. It's one of those Bell Sprout. Victory bell is the big one or weeping bell. Oh, man. Sprout. Weeping. Weeping bell. I think it's victory bell. Bell. Victory Weeping Victory bell. I. We got to go with the big Victory bell is going to be bigger than weeping. That sounds like. Yeah. If you won, you're the biggest. I'm going to say victory bell. Team porn says victory bell. Victory bell is the correct answer. That's huge. Barrett, bring up round number three. Team blue. Pawlucha. Pawlucha. I know, I know. There was nothing there. That's his favorite one. How dare you do that. Favorite one. That's round four. Team corn Crocodile. That's red and gray. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's intense. Yeah, yeah. He's kind of stealthy. Fire guy. Oh, he's got. Yeah. He looks like a thief of some sort. He does look like committed a crime or two. Definitely committed a crime. A. Damn it. I can picture him in the game. Not toe to dial. Yeah, I know. I know. I know this score. Score, score. Dial or is they score a dial score to dial is not the correct answer. Team, do you have a buzzing for this one? You know, got it, man. I'm blanking right now. The pressure's Gotten to him. Oh, man. Later, gator. Don't give him. Don't even joke around about it because that could. That could definitely knock something loose. The lizard wizard, man. What the goddamn. I could describe him. Of course. We all can. Yeah, we did. I could describe the second timer. We did that. How would you describe it? Because it's like a tan gray. Know what I mean? Like, it's a different one. Like a s. Oh. Oh, really? Then you're not. Stop talking it out with everybody. Okay. Don't give them an inch. Collusion. Remove. Remove the horns from this kind. Looks like a wiener head, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. The answer is crocodile. Ah, crocodile. Stuck in my head. But I was like, that's the totodile evolution. We said thief. Yeah. We got one more round. Barry, bring up round number five. Oh, okay. Team Orange. Skunk. That's a hundred percent. I just need you to know. Skunky. Skunk tail. Skunk. A dial. Yeah, that's not gonna help us. Something with smell. It's gotta be a skunk something. It's gotta be stuck. Smoke. It's not bad. That's not bad. Not bad. That might be the best spunk. No. Anyway, that's gross. That's two on the nose. They want to. Damn. That's a good one, though. That's a good one. Yeah. We're gonna say smonk. Smonk is incorrect. Felt close. Team blue, do you have a buzz? It doesn't even matter. He's got it. We don't got. He's got the points. You got the star. Three stars. I have the evolution of. Oh, Barry Badger. Skunk tank. What's the little guy milk? I'm going skunky. That's good. That's good. Skunky. Skunky is incorrect. The correct answer. Stunky. I was so close. Skunky with a T. I said stunk. That was good. That was good. And he may have taken it as like a mispronunciation or something. Like just like a stunky. You want to give me a little bit more? And we go stunk. Yeah. So nobody got points for that round. If I could have just buzzed in on Hawlucha faster. Round number six. Is this still. Sorry, no. This is not part of the Pokemon round. We're back to individuals. We're back into. Are we back to buzzing? We're back to buzzing. And now Tim's got three stars. Or three stars got added to Tim's thing. Because that's. Well, it's because he's facing off against three people. No. Yeah, it was. But I'm just saying it's not the end of round, Rob. Just making sure we're still in round robin so we can still come back. Yeah, but we're not sharing the button. You are sharing the button. We're still. We're still team. We're still buzzing in. Let's beat him. Let's beat him here, guys. Round number six. Ultra Smash Power Tour and Open are entries in which Mario spinoff series. Team Orange Smash. Give us one more time. Can we hear that one more time? Ultra Smash Power Tour and Open are entries in which Mario spin off series. Mario Tennis Open. Yeah. Wasn't there Mario Tennis Open. Am I making that up? Is. Is Power Tour. What's Power Tour? I don't know. Sports. Some sort of sports. Golf. I was thinking golf. I mean, you guys golf. Because Open. I don't, but I like the golf game. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. You're. What did I say? Original things. Yeah, but I don't know about that. There's so many tennis. Soccer. No, he's only had two. Soccer and an open's not a 10. A soccer thing. It's got to be tennis. Yeah, probably we're going to say Mario Tennis. Mario Tennis is the correct answer. Monica Selles. She got stabbed round seven during the development. Right, Right. She got stabbed. I think so. Yeah. Horrific. Very horrific. It is. I'm not gonna laugh about somebody getting stabbed during the development of Donkey Kong 64. What was Shigeru Miyamoto shown by a developer at Rare Team Porn? A gun. It was when Donkey Kong was using his gun. That is correct. The question crazy. What was he shown that made him react in horror? DK with a realistic gun is the correct answer. Whoa. Yeah. Wear these colors as a joke. All right. Was. Was this making the rounds on Social recently? It's one of those stories that's always Okay. I told it recently to Jen when we were like the Monica Cellis. That donkey. Yes, of course. When we were talking about that Donkey Kong joke song I liked a lot. And I tell her about. Yeah. When Miyamoto showed up at a Western developer. I got a gun. Yeah. The story goes from Kotaku. Quote. You used to get shown. You used to. You get so used to being to. God, I can't read. You get so used to things being in development, even if it's a placeholder. And I completely forgot that it was there. I'm shooting beavers. Turn to my side and I see this look of horror on Miyamoto's face. Upon seeing this, Miyamoto did not emit an outraged shriek and call for the game to be canceled immediately. Instead, he began to draw on a piece of paper. And in that moment, he produced the Coconut. Coconut gun from DK64. Fires and spurts. If it shoots you, it's going to hurt. There you go. I should get a tip of the hat for that. You and me are vibing. Remember when I gave you that PlayStation 5 Pro? That was a good time. Yeah, I appreciate that. Really nice. Round number eight. In the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, the four champions who meet in the game are named Urbosa, Daruk, Revali, and who game Porringe. I have no idea. But I. But it's like I gotta buzz in before he gets to. Birdfellow. Yeah, that's her Bali. That was swimming. That's her bosom. Okay, that's. That's as far as I went. I beat about. They all got weird names. Can't at least call him Steve. Harriet. I met the bird guy at the Nintendo store. He was signing autographs. Yeah. What are you going? No, I get to go. Yeah, it was the. It was the actor. Ravali Urbosa. Daruk, Daru. Daruk, Daruk, Daruk. Feels like there's Jason Derulo of some sort. Tim, you got that point already. All right, we know you know the answer. Do we have a 15 second? Yeah, we don't. I mean, what are we gonna. In this scene? We do. Yes. We're gonna say Ganondorf. Nice. Ganondorf is incorrect. Team Blue, are you gonna buzz in for the answer? Mifa. Mifa is the correct answer. That's 10 points. Yeah. Should have known it. Should have got it round nine. Damn. How many rounds are. I'll keep that to my. She's the water lady. Yeah, she. Lea's grace. There you go. I've heard of that. Round nine. What year did Nintendo celebrate Mario's 25th anniversary? Okay, let's add. Let's talk about it right now. What's he celebrating now, Andy? Okay, so Mario's. Mario's 25th anniversary as he celebrated his 15. Isn't he 40 right now? Was it 82 or 81? The earnest in your eyes. Well, if it's 40 right now, isn't it something. Something just happened. 35th or 40. Oh, so we just have to peel back as many years to 2000. Was it 2005? Is that your answer? No, no, I'm saying what was the year? I'm sorry. What? What year did Nintendo celebrate Mario's 25th anniversary? So minus 15 from now. But is it 40 right now? And is. It's. That's this year? Was it next year? Well, let's start with. We're letting them do math this long. -15. Okay. -15 from 2025 would be the 15 second timer going. He's on his 40th anniversary. It's 2010. You think it's 35, but it's 2015. You got five seconds. 2010. 2010 is the. Got him. I don't understand. I don't understand the problem. You're up for three stars. We're playing this one. We gotta talk. Put up a clock. We can just sit here forever to do three simple math. Three minds have to talk to each other. Okay? Yeah. It's not as easy for you. All right? You got two brain cells up there just bopping into each other talking about what it's like when Luigi farts. We gotta have a conversation over here. We're gonna close out with round number 10, which is a special round I'm calling game recognized game franchise Shit. I'm gonna say the name of a game entry. It is your job to buzz in and tell me if it's a Mario, Sonic or Final Fantasy game. For example, if I say Superstar Saga, the answer would be Mario from Mario and Luigi. Superstar Saga contestants, are you ready? Ready. So ready. Mario Sonic fan of Fantasy Mario Sonic Final Fantasy. I have a stroke. Just let me finish the game. God. Poor Satan. First one. The secret ruins. Purringe. The secret ring. Rune. The secret rings. Rings. Yes. I mean that's a tricky one, right? They want you to say Sonic. It's not Mario for sure. I don't know. You know. You think so what about Final Fantasy? Yeah, that's my thing is I think I feel like the rings are. Are a red herring and it goes Final Fantasy's way. I bet you it's something easy. I feel like I've heard a lot of Sonic games. I feel never heard like it's a Mario game boy game. Yeah. Three seconds to answer. So shoot it. Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy is incorrect. Team Blue Sonic Sonic on the Wii is the Correct answer. That's 10 point. Reverse. Reverse. Keep doing what we're doing. Next one. Okay. What is it you got to hear? No, you got to hear the question. What's the question? Yeah, you got to hear it. Slam your dick in the door. Hate this. I'm gonna go Mario. Mario is incorrect. All right, so one's off the board. Great. Okay. Ring of Fates with the rings again. He wouldn't dare. Go back to back Sonics. Yeah, he wouldn't dare. He wouldn't dare. Right. It's Ring of Fate. Ring of Fates. That's. Yeah, we're say Final Fantasy on that one. That is the correct. Go back to Exotics for Final Fantasy Chronicle or Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. Ring of Fates. And can I give you a tip of the hat for playing by the rules? Yeah. If the once the question said buzz in. If you buzz in halfway through you don't get the rest of my. I hate buzzers are. Here we go everybody. Here we go, everybody. Baby hates the buzzers. Shattered Crystal. Purple Orange. Okay. Purple Orange. That's a Sonic game. Yeah, that's a Sonic. We're going to say Sonic. That is correct for Sonic. Boom. Shattered Crystal. Round four. Because Final Fantasy has a lot of crystals in you. You think you know. Bless knows what he's doing over here. Round four. Dark moon. Orange. Okay, now he hasn't said Mario. I know it does. It feels like to feel the vibe. It's got it. But like I don't think Mario's got a dark moon in his life. Dark of the Luigi's Mansion wasn't. That doesn't count. Okay. I would say it's Mario, but I. I don't. It also is anyone, but I don't recognize Sonic. 10, 5 seconds on the board. Final Fantasy Dark of the Moon. Let's go, Mario. Let's go. We're going to go Mario. That is correct for L's Mansion Dark. Oh, so. Okay. Okay, good. Let me talk you out of that because next one, Sparks of Hope. Team Blue. Sonic the Layup.

Glad you play the game. Get off the bench. Game. Recognize his game. That's your game. Next round, All Star Carnival Team Porringe. Now this feels like a Sonic. I have no idea how this one. Is it a turn? Yeah. Ten seconds on the clock. Okay, we're going to say Sonic the Hedgehog. That is incorrect. Tim, gettys it can't be Final Fantasy, can it? It really can't, right? All Star Chronicle. All Star Carnival. Oh, that changes everything. Mario is in. Oh, damn. It was Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy Theatrithm. Final Fantasy All Star Carnival. I've never heard of that. Theatrism. Theatre rhythm. Theater ism. Is it theatrhythm? I've always read it as theatruthm, but theater rhythm I guess makes more sense. Yeah. A better mouth feel. It does have a way better mouth feel. Mouthfeel. Round eight Dimensions. Porringe. Isn't it Sonic Dimensions. Sonic. Incorrect. Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy is the correct answer. Final Fantasy Dimensions. What? What? Where? Where? Where was it? It was mobile, right? I believe so. This one was. Is it the one? Ariana Grande Dimensions. I remember Ariana Grande was in one of them. That's a sexy song. That's a sexy song. Yeah. I think this is a mobile one. Platforms. Yes. IOS, Android and Foma 903. I. I don't even know what that is. Barrett, can I get a score recap? Yes. Right now, the current score, it only shows on T Purple, but just know that Purple and Orange are together. They're purring. In last place with 80 points, but a well fought game on his own, it was Tim Gettys for team blue with 80 points. And in the lead it was Team Pur inch with Mike, Greg and Andy all coming together with a hundred points. Hold it back if we can bring up the star tracker because that is the end of that round robin round, meaning Team Purple and Team Orange have each earned one star. Do you want to give us yours? No, I'm good. Do you want to give me yours? You can get. I mean would that be on B Collusion? Actually, I. I wouldn't. I would not take. I would not take. Nor would I. That was a dark question. That was a good question. Glad you didn't take it. We're calling right down the middle of the day bringing the updated star standings. Team Orange is sitting at nine, Team Purple sitting at five and Team Blue still sitting at one. All I need. But it's still anybody's game and we got a lot more episode left.

And speaking of ad, let us tell you about our sponsors, guys. We had an indie company reach out to us hoping we could help promote their card game. I checked it out and I'm having a delightful time. It's called Once Upon a Galaxy. I downloaded it and it's really easy to get started. I instantly started finding crazy combos, developing my strategy and admiring the beautiful character art. Something super unique and cool is its PvP, but there are no timers. Start a game, set your phone down for five minutes and pick it up and jump back in right where you left off. How do they do this PvP with no timers? I don't know. It's magic. The games are quick but really lives up to the phrase easy to learn, impossible to master. I keep finding new stuff every time I play. I love the themes and the art of the cards, from fairy tale heroes and villains to sharks with lasers on their heads. I also love setting up sweet support support characters on my backline to help boost my frontline cards. Once Upon a Galaxy is crossplay on your phone and PC. You can download it right now for free.

Team Blue currently has three this this season. Two were earned by Greg, one was earned by Gary, zero were earned by Complicating season. Oh, I should also mention shout out to KDG because this Was a very complex season to tabulate, which might reflect in some of the bonus stars today in terms of how all this shook out. Purple has four tips of the hat this season, which got you the win. Three earned by Mike, one earned by Andy. Orange has won. One earned by Tim. Funny enough, zero earned by Greg. Next up, we have the bonus star for the most screwed over award. Oh, thank you. I'm ready. Barrett, roll the clip. This one is the one. That is the most bullshit fucking results ever. Dude, are you fucking kidding me? Name the best remake of the last five years. Silent Hill 2. Silent Hill. That's good. That's. Greg says Silent hill. Silent Hill 2 is not on the list. Wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. I didn't see that one coming. Hey, bless. How are you? I'm doing well. Greg, how are you doing? Still smart. Silent Hill 2, not one of the best remakes of the last five years. All right, this week's treated you badly, huh? You've been thinking about that the entire. I have not enjoyed that. You know what I mean? But I've been happy to see you. So many comments in support of me in saying that those 2,000 people were wrong. There you go. A few weeks ago on Game Showdown, there was a mishap in which Mike Howard of Team Purple didn't receive points on a particular round that he was supposed to. This led to a result earning Greg Miller of Team Blue a star, when ultimately this should have resulted in a tie. Today, to start off this episode, we are remedying that this will be decided. Which of the following Donkey Kong spinoffs isn't a real game? Got it. Is it A, Donkey Kong barrel blast, B, DK king of swing. C, Donkey Kong jungle climber. D, DK banana blitz. Or E, Donkey Kong Jr. Math DK banana blitz. Mike says DK banana blitz. That is the correct yes answer. J. Purple's on the board. We're leading. We're the greatest. Team Purple, baby. Come on, Barrett. If you can subtract a star from Team Blue, adding that to Team Purple, meaning starting off, the miscarriage of justice has happened and you're all witnesses. Team Purple. One day I'm gonna go crazy. You're all gonna wonder where it started. It started right here. Game showdown. Name a game that everyone at kind of funny like, loves. Andy. The last of us. Andy says the last of us. The last of us is our 10 answer. Our 50 point answer. Astrobot. Ah, Astrobot. This one is the one. That is the most results ever. Dude, are you fucking kidding me? The last of us. 10 points if you said, hey, Andy, here are the two answers. Andy's going to answer. He's going to answer the Last of us and Breath of the wild. 10 points total. What? What was the name of the turn based mode allowing players? Greg. Galactic Frontier. That is incorrect, Tim. Galactic Conquest. Galactic Conquest is. No, no, no, no. That shenanigans. There will be a replay on chat that saw my buzzer go in and it didn't. I'll remember that, Roger. Michael, remember that. Mike will remember that I offered Tim a once in a lifetime deal to trade teams, including all the stars because he can't be stopped. So including the stars. Yeah. Yeah. Round number one. I'd hate to interrupt, but I'd like to. Life Leech. 10 points from Tim, please. All right. Greg is in a life leech. Life leech. 10 points from Tim. Meaning you will actually steal those points. So that's 10 points away from Tim. 10 points back to Greg. Sorry. I'm sorry. I would like the life leash. 10 from Tim. You know you're at max point. Oh, I know. Thank you. You know what I mean? All right. When you got a cockroach colony on the run, you keep stomping, all right. You keep stomping them. Wii U. Wii U is the correct answer. Do you want to draw or you Wait, I'm sorry, what are my options? Or your answers are drawing or attacking. Give me that, boy. Give it a. We'll take 10 from Tim. All right. He's going to attack Tim for 10, bringing Tim down to 10 points. Tim is on his final legs here. According to howlongtobeat.com, how long does it take to beat the main story of the first BioShock game? 14 and a half hours. Greg is going to say 14 and a half hours, Mike. I will go with 16. Mike's at 16. I'm going to go 15. I'm going 15. All right. So Tim is squeezing right between Greg and Mike with 15. I like that for us. I like those odds. The correct answer. 12. Damn it. Get your ass out of here. We did it, Andy. Come on. Purple and orange, purple and orange beat until it's all purple and orange. Purple and orange, Purple and orange beat it till it's all purple and orange. Na na na na na na na na. Hey. Goodbye. Congratulations, Team Blue. You are the most screwed over this season. I don't know if this is worth having to watch that again. You know, like I just sit here, try my best, try to play the games. It is fun watching back I will say, I will say. I mean you watch that and you really feel for Andy. Thank you. Thank you again. It's interesting how this factors in KDG screwing over Andy right here. If that then tips the scales that he should be the most screwed over. Thank you. Thank you. Tim answered God of war that one question and then that took the 40 from me and then I was stuck with Tim. Gets his color back, gets a belt he didn't earn back and he's the most screwed over. Oh well, let's move on to our next bonus star to give out our $0.50 award for the team that got the most 50 point answers in kind of beauty. And the winner is team Purple, Andy and Mike. Yes. Dude. Yeah. What? Because whoever is winning doesn't get to go first so they don't get the 50 points. Yes, dude, 50 point answer first. That's break down like this. Team Blue got four 50 point answers. One by Greg, one by Widow and then two by Tim. Team Purple got 1050 point answers, seven by Andy and three by Mike. And then Team Orange got seven 50 point answers. Four by Tim, Greg by three by Greg. And then there are four 50 point answers missed this season. Very nice, dude. And then we have one more. Can we do two more? Can we do three more? We have one more bonus star to give out the never last award. Barrett, roll the clip. Still not enough. But you know what was here for a fun time. As you can tell by his cool outfit it was Mike Howard for Team Purple with 45 points. For Team Purple with 60 points. Tied with him was one Tim Geddes for team Orange and edging it out to finally get a win for kind of funny game showdown this season it was snow bike Mike Howard for team purple with 220 points. Thank you so much Barrett. I want to dedicate this win to Greg Miller who got me this one. I thank you to Greg Miller. I hate that even when Greg's not the one winning he's still helping me lose in second place. A hard fought battle and even though he doesn't get us, not not great. For team Blue they are at the bottom with 50. Then Team Purple and right in the middle where they where they fit best. Andy Verso Cortez with team purple with 190 pull like and tied. Even though we all know who should have really won this week it was Snowbike. Mike Howard for team Purple and Tim Gettys for team orange with 260 points each. Andy Cortez with team purple with 210 points. Man who is always the bridesmaid but never the bride. It was Andy Cortez for team purple with 160 points. Congratulations Team Purple, Andy and Mike Barrett, we can bring up the star standings for you. So coming out of that segment, Tim in team Blue got plus one star added to their total bringing them up to two stars. Andy and Mike representing team Purple got plus three stars coming out of this. Coming up to eight total. Team Orange still sitting in the lead with nine. Some more fun stats for you brought to you by KDG. Week 7 saw the first ever mid season miss of the warm up question. Previously the first episodes has always had the miss and every warm up for the rest of the season has been correctly guessed. Episode two saw Team Purple's first ever portrait mode win with a technical tie for first place. Week 7 saw Andy's first personal win since Week 14 of Season 2. If you remember, Roger got the Team Purple win in season three. Thank you, Rush. Week 11 saw the first ever full whiff in kind of feudy, meaning no one got any answers in a round and because of a tie there were six answers. In the first clean sweep this season when Andy didn't get a second guess, there were three ties for first place and Mike was involved in each one. Two against Greg went to a tiebreaker. He won one, Greg won one and then against Tim they both got a star. The highest score this season is tied between Mike and tim in week eight when they both got 260 points and both got stars. MVP right here. Team Orange has the highest cumulative score, the most right answers and the fewest wrong answers. You're welcome everybody. That does include Tim's performance to Team Orange as well and as individuals. Tim has earned 1,445 points overall. Greg has earned 1,200 points overall. Andy has earned 780 and Mike has earned 775. Obviously splitting the difference there, Gary Witta has earned 140 points. This sounds like we dominated. That is it for the awarding of the bonus stars. Now it's time for final feuding. Oh yes. Oh yes. To begin, Mike and Andy, you two will have to decide who gets to play this final round. No collusion then when one of you sitting on the bench, are you feeling good? You're feeling good. This is your moment. No, this is your. I got you here. I got you to the point. Like I always tell you all, I'm going to get you to the point. You're going to succeed. No, this is you. This is you. We've see we saw the way the stats rung out. Mike had a highest 280 or whatever. You. You've got the memory. I don't have the recall. Everybody cheer. Mike has the memory. Mike Snow. Mike. Mike. So Mike. Mike will be purple team. This is. I got you. You play. Oh, God. Things still my butt. Keep all that in. Don't edit that out. Keep all that in. All right, Mike, you're going to sit in for team Purple. God, we moved the I play on behalf of my best friend, my 1.1 Tim. No shenanigans back there. Andy. Let the power be. Roger called down the middle. I'm going to be stone cold. I I ice cold fox. Andy, I'm allow you to sit back there, but no words coming out of your mouth when you're guessing. Just know that my mind is your mind and I don't. Yeah, but no eye stuff either. No, none of this. None of that. Stay there. Shut up. I can hear you. The rules are simple. I've surveyed over 2,000 members of the Kind of Funny Audience on a number of prompts. Each round I'm going to read to you a prompt and we'll ask each of you which answer you think the Kind of Funny Best Friends gave the most. I've narrowed down to five answers per prompt. If you give a correct answer, the more popular the answer, the more points you'll receive. However, Final Feudy is different from Kind of Feudy. Final Feudy is only two rounds and a bonus round and. And you get a star for every 50 points. So if you end the game with 100 points, that's two stars. Contestants, are you ready? Yes, we are ready. Round number one. Name a game or series we're not buzzing in, right? You're not buzzing in. You're not buzzing in the first dibsies. I do because I won that first opening question. He's leaving Tim Gettys. I mean, we're all zero right now, so actually it's how the game's always played. I'm going to have Tim go first, followed by Team Purple, followed by team orange. Round 1. Name a game or series that Obsidian develops. Oh, nice. Love that, Tim. Name a game or series that Obsidian develops. Fallout. Tim says Fallout. Fallout is our 40 point answer. Mike. I'm going to go with a vowed or no. He said it. The Outer Worlds said it. The Outer Worlds. Thank you. Have we had this before? Roger, what's the verdict here? It's out. It was out. It was dark. Say whatever I want. I mean, my sexy jacket Outer Worlds too. The Outer Worlds. Oh, what a surprise. We're going to allow it. Roger says cheats to his charm over there. So I'm going to allow it as well. Mike says The Outer Worlds 2 or the Outer Worlds. That's a franchise. Correct, Correct. Correct. The Outer Worlds 50 is our 50 point answer. That's a full star right there. A lot of great options. Tim. Yeah. You shot. You shot first. Greg. Grounded. Greg says grounded. Grounded is our 30 point answer. And we're back to Tim. Avowed. Tim says avowed. Avowed is our 10 point point answer. Okay, Mike, can you close us out here? Name a game or series that Obsidian develops. Lot of great options. A lot of great options. A lot of great options. Oh, oh. Even another fun one out there. You know what I mean? A lot of writing in here. Give me a 15 second time. We're going to go with. Pillars of Eternity. Not on the list. Pillars of eternity is our 20. I know your mind. It's a full wide meaning. Greg does not get a second guess as we roll. It's crazy for that. Of course. Tim got our 10 point answer with Avowed. Mike got our 20 point answer with Pillars of Eternity. Greg got our 30 point answer with Grounded. Tim got our 40 point answer with Fallout. And Mike got our 50 point answer with the Outer Worlds. As we roll into round number two. Name Kojima's best game. Name Kojima's best game. We're going to start off with Greg. Metal gear solid three. Greg says metal gear solid three. Metal gear solid three is our 50 point answer. Good job, Tim. Metal Gear Solid. Tim says Metal Gear Solid. Metal Gear Solid is our 40 point answer. Mike, Gonna have to get weird, right? You know what I mean? My mind is your mind. We're going to have to get a little weird with it. We have to. Oh, I know where you're going. We just can't. We can't keep going down the list. You know what I mean? Lot of Metal Gear Solid two haters out there. I love it. But we're going to go with Death Stranding. Death stranding is our 20 point answer. And we're back to Greg. PT. Greg says PT. PT is not on the list. Big swing. Had a swing for it. I thought it was going to get in there. Yeah, Tim. Metal gear solid two. Tim says MGS two. Metal gear solid two is our 30 point answer. Mike, you got one more guess here. You know what I mean? You go back and forth. You go five or two. Five or two. What'd they land on? It did they like about speech. Do they like it? Oh, watch out. You never know what could happen. Don't let Tim get in your head. Tim, look at me in those baby blue eyes. It's gotta be. Come on. You got Raiden the sword. Oh, no. We're not doing vengeance. Absolutely not. Metal Gear Solid 5. Mike says 5. You. Metal Gear Solid 5 is not on the list. The 10 point answer was Death Stranding 2. You were saying Metal Gear Solid 2. We already said it though. Yeah, you just saying 5 or you were just saying 5 or 2, which I understand what you meant, but I was also there. I was like. You don't realize that MGC has already been taken. No, no. Yeah, five or two. I. I take back my little snarky laughs. Last one. With that, Mike got the 20 point answer with Death Stranding. Tim got the 30 point answer with Metal Gear Solid 2. Tim got the 40 point answer with Metal Gear Solid. And Greg got the 50 point answer with Metal Gear Solid 3. Now it's time for our bonus round. I have three categories left on the board. Each of you has one shot to choose a category and clean up the answers on the board for those amount of points. Remember this, if you get one strike, you're done. And we end your run there. We'll start with the person who has the least stars. Tim Geddes. What the fuck? Bless first dibsies. Cool. Very nice. Oh, and we have categories. Barrett, if you can bring up the categories, the categories are Party Time, Hippity Hop, and Marketing Dollars. Oh, man. What's the Hippity Hop game's gonna be, though? You know. It, B. All right, we're going with Hippity Hop. Name a rapper that's been in a video game. Oh. Name a rapper that's been in a video game. Again, if you. If you make one mistake here, your run ends. 50 cent is our 50 point answer. Sounds about right. Right down the list. God, this gets a lot harder. Eminem. Eminem is not. Knew that. Saw that happening. How? Too early, too. New DJ hero. His whole. The whole thing was him. May I steal his points? But he wasn't in it, right? Yeah, like crazy. They were like songs in it. Yeah, but I think we're talking like a character in the game, right? Didn't. Wasn't there. That must have been. I mean, they probably had his imagery in there, but we had some more popular answers. The 40 point answer there would have been Snoop Dogg. Our 30 point answer. Dr. Dre. Rapper. The rapper. Per rapper. The rapper. Our 20 point answer. We have Dr. Dre. And then our 10 point answer. We have exhibit. Exhibit was our 10 point answer. Yeah. Wouldn't have got most of those. If we can bring back up our categories, we're gonna have whoever has the second most amount of stars. So that's team Purple. May I call upon my teammate here, my team captain. No, no. No collusion. We can't. We can't talk a little fun. Maybe he chooses for me. There's no fun. Okay. This is very serious. We shall go. Party time. You're going. Party time. Like it. Name the title of a Mario Party mini game. It's all down to the category choices. That up. Hi, Andy. Damn. That's just a bunch of. Can you get one answer? You just need one, dude. You just need one answer here to get you that next star. A Mario Party minigame. It all comes down to this. Don't start the timer. Don't start the timer. Give me a minute here. Give me a second. Let me cook. Let me cook. Yeah, we don't really use a timer. Mario Party. We don't use the timer here. And I will eventually do a timer. The audience thinks it's a Mario Party game. Yeah. Yeah. Name the title of a Mario Party game. Is what? I asked the audience. Name the title of a Mario Party game or mini minigame. Minigame. What's the fire. Lava jump. You know what I mean? Fire. Lava jump. Lava jump rope. Lava jump rope. Good answer. That's a real one. We know that Lava jump rope is not on the list you're looking for. Hot rope jump. Is it on the list made of hot rope jump? Is what you're looking for. Our 50 point. Did they write in lava jump jump rope? No. They just rolled in hot rope jump. The audience, let's all admit it. They're cheaters. They're swindlers. They're horrible people. Exactly. They go to Wikipedia. They don't go. They should clear their minds and answer the fucking questions. That's what you would Hope, right? Our 50 point answer. Bumper balls. Bumper balls. Our 40 point answer. Facelift. I think that's the one where you stretch out the faces. Yeah. Our 30 point answer. Day at the races. Day at the races. 20 point answer was hot rope jump in our 10 point answer with was Book squirm. Yeah. Greg, you didn't stand a chance. No. Yeah. No. Your best hope was to get hippity hop there. Because I feel like Mike would have rocked that one. Rock that, Greg. That brings us to our third and final category. Marketing dollars. Yes. Name A game with insane ad placement. Call of Duty. Call of Duty is our 10 point answer. What the fuck? Wow. Were you just throwing that out? You would have thought that would have been. I thought, I thought that would have been number one. Yeah. NBA 2K. That's our 40 point answer. Madden, that is not on the list. But you Crazy Taxi. Crazy Taxi is not on. I would have thrown out for the old heads home front. I mean I would have run out, but I remember that. And campaign. That was insane. Yeah. Our 20 point answer, which you didn't get. Final Fantasy 15 for the ramen. Yeah. All right. Our 30 point answer. Burnout Paradise. Yeah, sure. Then our 50 point answer. Death stranding. Okay, Death stranding. What was the phrasing of it? Marketing spend. Name a game with insane ad placement. So ads in the game. Yeah, I was thinking ads on tv. I got so hung up, I got hung up on the marketing. I was like, it's gonna. I. When. When I saw the category I was already. Call of Duty, they put up their commercials, they do this whole thing that makes more sense, but it doesn't matter. I'm amazing. Barrett, bring up the score recap. So coming out of this round, remember you get a star for every 50 points, meaning team Purple is going to earn themselves an additional two stars here. Team Orange also going to earn an additional two stars. Team blue is going to earn three stars for you. So Barrett, if we can bring up the star standings, Team Blue is going to go from two all the way up to five stars to end the season. And both team Purple and team all star. With team Purple, Team Purple is going to go from 8 to 10 and team orange will be your season four champion with 11 stars total in a total close game. Congratulations team Orange for winning the belt for the very first time on game showdown for team Orange. Of course, yes. I mean as a competitor, as a coach. No. I've now done what Tim Gettys always wished he could have done. And that's three peated three championships, back to back game showdown. Season two, the Knicks Scarpino season and now season three. And let me tell you, this is my moment. Yes, I'm sorry, this is my moment. I don't have beef with you by the way. Roger, Katie G, you better go get your car right now because we're gonna have some words about it. But more importantly, I want to have words with you. Kind of funny audience. Thank you so much for your support this season. You know, once I was screwed over by the tie breaking question, I was rocked and Struggled to find my feet for a long, long time. But I found them by doing what I do. But best making deals. Thank you, Joe. Sir, can you open this for me? Joe, I'm too. I'm. I'm in my own head, right? I need to settle the jitters with a little. The bubbly. You know what I mean? I want to thank you all, though, for being in my corner, being with me. And I'd like to officially invite you in 2026 to the party to end all parties. It's the orange party. We're all going to show up and wear orange. Where's it going to be? Great question. I'm working on a few things. Obviously, San Francisco's easy. I thought maybe around the sketch fest thing. Then I thought, you know what? Why not take it on the road? San Diego? Then I remembered there's a giant orange in Montreal. What really matters is that you all start looking for your orange outfits now. Joester, I'm gonna need you. If you don't mind, I'd love a cupcap, if you don't mind, to start working with any of them French dip whoever about an orange shirt. All right, we need it. I'd love it to say three Pete. I'd love to say three shots. Maybe. Orange party. Maybe it just says. Or maybe it's a black shirt that says orange party and white. It'd be funny as hell, right? Most importantly, that was going to happen in 2026. I'll have details when we get into the new year. And the one person who's not allowed to come is Kebabs. After we had the collusion episode, but before the collusion rules were established, I saw kebabs with my own two eyes, my two orange eyes in the chat, saying, I come to game showdown for serious trivia, not for the shenanigans. So guess what? You don't like the berries, you don't get the juice, you don't get to come to the orange party. Bob's just you. Everybody else, orangey. Orange party 26. I won the money. I did it again. Oops. I did it again. Got lost. God, Lost. Lost in this game. Oh, baby, I'm not. So I saw the. The fun stat floating online that if team Orange and team Blue never switched places, never switched stars, we would have been coming into this episode all tied up with all the teams. I thought that was fascinating. I thought that was very neat. Could have been a very different outcome today. Tim knows Nintendo games and bad deals. Apparently not even Nintendo games. You said it, man. I said it. It's a new era for Team Orange. I'm supposed to be impartial. I want to go to the Orange Party. The Orange Party sounds fun. It's gonna be great. It's gonna be a great time. Of course, this has been Game Showdown, your nerdy trivia show. We'll be back someday with another season sometime next year. But until next time, it's been our pleasure to serve you. Pass this down to my captive Blessing. Monster Energy. Everybody knows White Monster Zero Ultra. That's the OG it kicked off this whole Zero Sugar energy drink thing. But Ultra is a whole lineup now. You've got Strawberry Dreams, Blue Hawaiian Sunrise and Vice Guava. And they all bring the Monster Energy punch. So if you've been living in the White can branch out. Ultra's got a flavor for every vibe. And every single one is Zero Sugar.
