What's up? And welcome back to the Kind of Funny Games Cast live for Wednesday, April 9, 2025. Of course, I'm your host, Tim Gettys. I am joined today by Blessing. Adio. Yay, junior.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Good day. Tim, how you doing? I'm doing well. How are you doing?
Tim Gettys
I'm doing real good. This excited for. This is very exciting to me and it might be very embarrassing for us.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, okay.
Tim Gettys
Yeah, that. That's what I'm gonna say. Getting ahead of it just a little bit today. Trying something a little bit different. A couple nights ago, I was at home watching YouTube, listening to video game music as I often do, and I came across a video game music quiz that I like autoplayed and about 20 seconds of it played and I'm like, I'm pausing this right now. This is a gamescast. Me and Bless are going to sit here and try our best to see if we can identify video game songs. All right.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I love this. I'm also very terrified that this is going to expose me.
Tim Gettys
Exactly. I mean, that's the thing. Not know what is on this list. We'll get into details in just a second because of course, this is Kind of Funny Games cast. Each and every weekday we get together to talk about the latest, the greatest, the good, the bad, everything in between in video games. If you love that, you should probably get the kind of funny membership it gets you. The shows ad free and you get an exclusive Greg Way every single day. Today's is actually Bless. Bless. What are you talking about?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I did a full 14 minutes about how I review a video game. Yeah. Kind of talking about like in the head.
Tim Gettys
Yeah.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
My methodology, how I think about video games, why I tackle certain reviews the way I do. And yeah, it was a very fun one. It's one that I enjoyed the 14 minutes so much of talking about it that I want to find a place where I can just like maybe give like an hour presentation. You know what I mean? Like, I want to like bust. I want to prepare.
Tim Gettys
I have a place for you, it's called the Gamescast. You know what I mean? You get to talk about whatever topics we want in video games.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah, but you don't. You don't be yapping. You know what I mean? You don't be yapping.
Tim Gettys
I want you yapping.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I, I like.
Barrett Courtney
Do we get you connected with TED Talks and you do a TED Talk?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
See, that's what I'm talking. How can we do a. Can I invent a PAX talk? How do I.
Tim Gettys
It's just a panel.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
How do I get. No, I'm thinking.
Tim Gettys
Oh, no, no.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I'm thinking of something different. You put me on a stage and give me a microphone and put an audience. Oh, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Tim Gettys
Oh, my God.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
That's what I'm saying.
Tim Gettys
Yeah, that's a great idea.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
And let me just like talk for about now. Yeah, yeah. And we can like live stream it. It could be cool. Yeah, think about that. All right.
Tim Gettys
Think about it. All right.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Think about that.
Tim Gettys
Thank you very, very much, Barrett, for getting rid of the chat because this is all on us today. Oh, yeah, this is all on us. If you want a super chat in, please do. Of course. That's your way to be part of this show. As we go on, Jordan Vickers says VG music. Finally, my time has come. Of course I want all of you to play along as well in the chat because hopefully this is fun for us, not too embarrassing fun for y'all. And we can do this again because there's a ton of these videos out there.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Really.
Tim Gettys
So that's exciting. But I liked the format of this one. And let me get to that. After a little housekeeping this Friday, very big stuff. We are kicking off the Elder Scrolls Online podcast, a kind of funny Gamescast limited series it is Greg going real deep with Zenmax and the devs over there talking about the ten year legacy of Elder Scrolls Online. Even if you are not familiar with online or if like you're not the biggest Elder Scrolls person, it doesn't matter. This is going to be awesome content. Greg and Mike did such a good job interviewing the team and this is just a great video game conversation. So get hyped for that. This Friday it all kicks off. Remember, we are at 11 person business all about live talk shows today. After this, you're going to get a very special Monaco 2 stream. This one's going to be kind of funny versus giant bomb. It is a crossover collab stream. What's going to happen? I'm not sure, but I know it's going to be heist versus heist. It's going to be which team can do the heist fastest. There will be shit talking. There will be two streams, a giant bomb stream and a kind of funny stream. But every once in a while there might be some crossover. Who knows. So that's going to be a ton of fun. You already got a Games Daily, of course. That was Roger and Andy talking about all the latest video game of the day. Thank you to our Patreon producers Anatoli A. Delaney Twining, Carl Jacobs and Omega Buster. Today we're brought to you by Better Health, but we'll tell you all about that later. It's time for the topic of the show Video Game music quiz.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I'm excited about because I assume this is a cooperative experience. It is, right? We're not, we're not facing off against each other.
Tim Gettys
Let me, let me read this.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Okay?
Tim Gettys
And then we'll break down the rules going forward here. Okay. So the headline of this video is Video game music quiz guess 100 soundtracks in 10 seconds. We will be putting the link to the YouTube video in the description if you want to play along later or with your friends or whatever it is. This is from a YouTube channel called Kabunio Gamings. K A B o o N I o gaming and they have some other videos like this as well. But I like I said I've seen these things before. Normally it'll be like a buzzfeed quiz or something where they just like put up things and it's usually clips of like movie soundtracks or something. And I like playing along to seeing if I know. And I always think I know way more than I actually do. Yeah, because it's like if you' never played a game where it's like, I don't. I just don't know, you know. But I liked the format of this. So check this out. Are you a real gamer or just a casual? Put your video game musical knowledge to the test in our latest video game music quiz. Guest 100 games from their original soundtrack in 10 seconds. The quiz features increasing difficulty so even casual gamers can rack up some points. But it keeps things interesting for avid gamers as well. The most important thing is that all music is cool and interesting. So you might find your next favorite tune or game by playing this quiz. How many points did you get out of the 300 total? Let me know in the comments. New videos every week. Subscribe so you don't miss the next one. Check out the channel.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
This is all 2012 coded yeah.
Tim Gettys
Here's how this works, though. Hundred games broken up into 20 game sections. Very easy, Easy, normal, Hard. Very hard.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Okay.
Tim Gettys
The way they're trying to have us play the game is point based. We're very easy gets you one point. Hard. Very hard gets you five points. That sounds a little too complicated for us on this show right now.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Gettys
I say there's a hundred games. How. What's our goal? Easy, hard, doesn't matter. What is our goal of how many games are we as a team trying to get.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I'm just gonna say a number. All right. 80. No, 80.
Tim Gettys
I want to let you know my head's at 25.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
No, because like you, they start off with very easy and easy. So that's at least 40 of them are going to be on the easy side.
Barrett Courtney
I'm going to say 65.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I think for sure we're going to get those. We're going to get the bulk of that first 40.
Barrett Courtney
I'm not helping.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, you're out. Bear's not helping.
Barrett Courtney
I'm not helping. It's between the two. It's Tim.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I think what we do, video game. Honestly, we might 100% the first 40. Not to be foolish.
Tim Gettys
Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Like I said, I only saw like 20 seconds of this.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah, I know.
Tim Gettys
I don't even remember what they were. This was like a couple of weeks ago. I do remember being like, oh, it's not Mario Brothers Overworld theme song.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
So, okay, we're just guessing the games, right? We're not guessing, like the specific, like just.
Tim Gettys
Just the game.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
We got this. Yeah, I think I'm. I might lower it to 75.
Tim Gettys
Here's the thing.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
All right, 75.
Tim Gettys
Let's meet in the middle here.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Gettys
All right, let's go 50. Let's see if we can get half of these.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Okay, 50. I think by the time we get to number 40, we're going to increase that. But I'm with you. I'm with you. I have confidence in us.
Tim Gettys
Yeah.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Because we're two brains. We're two brains and like it's a video game music quiz.
Tim Gettys
Yeah, Me and you.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Like, honestly, like, maybe, maybe we get Andy in here too. Right. But like, I feel like between me and you, we got this down. This is our shit.
Tim Gettys
Hey, I do video game music. The bravado that you're bringing to this.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Gettys
Let's jump in and let's see, here's what we're gonna do. It's 10 second breakdowns and at the end of the 10 seconds, it reveals the game.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Gettys
I'm gonna have Barrett pause before it gets to that point so we can kind of talk it out a little bit. Okay.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Okay.
Barrett Courtney
And just to be clear, this image right here is like, just the.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
His background.
Barrett Courtney
Background thing.
Tim Gettys
Yeah.
Barrett Courtney
All right, you ready?
Tim Gettys
I'm ready.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
All right.
Barrett Courtney
This is starting it very easy.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Hey, listen. I mean, Zelda. All right. Oh, I see. I see, I see.
Tim Gettys
All right. I. Okay. Come on. I know.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Gettys
That's the thing, is I literally said, it's not Mario Brothers Overworld. Fine. It's Mario World.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Gettys
Mario World, specifically.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Who's giving a score?
Tim Gettys
Oh, that's a good call.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Easy peasy. I will say there was a moment where I was like, is it Mario World? I'm not gonna lie. I second guess myself so hard at times, even though I know the thing. So, like, I was like, oh, of course we know what this is. I looked at you hoping that you would say Mario.
Tim Gettys
Barrett, is there any way that we can get it so that we're not covering the. The answer when it comes up?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
If that's too complicated, I can drag my trigger.
Tim Gettys
We just full screen it.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Or get rid of us and get.
Barrett Courtney
Rid of you guys. No, that's. That's silly. That's a silly podcast. All right, hold on.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, he's cooking.
Tim Gettys
Yeah. We appreciate you, Barry.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Gettys
All right, so we're. So far, we got one.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
We got one point.
Tim Gettys
We're on the board, everybody. I'm feeling pretty good.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
We're gonna. We might 100 this close.
Tim Gettys
100.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
We might 100.
Tim Gettys
We are. You know, Tundra boy super chats in saying pick three series to best represent video game music.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I love that.
Tim Gettys
That's. Represent. I think. Is complicated. I think Zelda. I think Final Fantasy.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Zelda. Yes, Zelda. Final Fantasy.
Tim Gettys
And I mean, Mario.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah. I almost don't want to say Mario, but I think it is Mario just.
Tim Gettys
To get that, like, kind of.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
You know what?
Tim Gettys
More like.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I'll say Halo. I think orchestral, but I think. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. That is Final Fantasy.
Tim Gettys
Yeah. Final Fantasy has, like, such a breath of. Because it was like, you know, 8 bit 16. It was all the bits.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Zelda Similar. Yeah, I guess Mario.
Tim Gettys
Yeah.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
It's a boring answer, but it might be the right answer.
Tim Gettys
Yeah. Mario just has so many, especially if.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
You count Mario Sonic.
Tim Gettys
I mean, I love that.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Gettys
Right. But I think that Mario has a little bit more. Actually, you know what? Sonic's actually really good because it Also includes the, like, vocal stuff.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Gettys
And like, the more modern, like, Sonic.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Music has never been mid.
Tim Gettys
Yeah.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Even when the games are mid.
Tim Gettys
Yeah, that's true.
Barrett Courtney
I'm ready to go, by the way. Just the picture in picture is gonna look ugly.
Tim Gettys
Okay, that's all good. Thank you so much. This is great. Number two.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Gettys
Caught that, baby.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, we're locked in.
Tim Gettys
We're locked in. 100 all the way.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
We're locked in. Company Jack.
Barrett Courtney
Okay, now, are you guys supposed to be guessing the actual tracks?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
No, I asked this for.
Tim Gettys
We're just guessing the game. I don't know. Yeah, it says guess 100 games. Okay. All right.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Zelda, Ocarina of Time, specifically. This ain't a Mario World situation where I'm like, is it? I'm like, no, we know. We know what this is.
Tim Gettys
Lost woods, baby.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Cuphead on. On the very easy level does concern me. I will say. I feel like that's more easy to normal. Uhhuh. I guess it is, like, the main overall thing, overall theme. So, like, it's one of the more notable songs from there. But not every gamer, I don't think, knows the Cuphead music.
Tim Gettys
Maybe they do now.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Maybe they do now.
Tim Gettys
I'm trying. Okay. Yeah.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
So which one you getting that from the drums, too. It's very impressive.
Tim Gettys
Really?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I would not have been able to.
Tim Gettys
Tell you that thing all the time. Yeah. Which I feel like this is two. Nate's theme from two.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah, I'll say two. Two would be my guess. This is one.
Tim Gettys
Oh, just one.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Well, now we counting that as a.
Tim Gettys
L or a W. No, it's a W. Okay.
Barrett Courtney
I, I, I would give it to y'all working on the Naughty Dog video. There are slight variations, but they're so. They're so small.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah. All right, ready? Yep.
Tim Gettys
Oh, I know this.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I don't know.
Tim Gettys
This pause. It.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Might be our first L. I'm going to guess it reminds me of, like, some rare, rare types. Like a 3D rare rare platformer. Like, some, like, you know, scary. Not scary, but, like. Yeah, you know, Spooky cat Spooky. Yeah. Or like, I don't know, like a. Like a. What you call it? I know a level in, like, a Banger Kazooie.
Tim Gettys
Yeah.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I don't want to guess.
Tim Gettys
The instrument that came in at the end is what's throwing me off. That sounds not banjo. Like.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yes, you're right.
Tim Gettys
So. Oh, I mean, we. Let's just throw a guess out.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I'm gonna guess conquer.
Tim Gettys
Okay.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I'm saying conquer is bad for A.
Tim Gettys
Day I'm lock in. That's a really good one. No, let's just go with it. Let's just go.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
All right. Conquer. Oh, papers, please. I never played papers, please. How is this very easy. No, I'm not jocking that. That's not very easy.
Tim Gettys
All right, we got a four, though. Do.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I need the kick in? Oh, they're not gonna let the drop hit. Damn, I need the drop.
Tim Gettys
I'm going doom 2016, right? Isn't it?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Maybe.
Tim Gettys
I don't know.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
If I get doom 2016, I get doomed, but I don't know if I get 2016.
Tim Gettys
What other one would it be?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
That's a good point.
Tim Gettys
I don't think it's the. Let's. All right.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, let's say doom Eternal. There we go. I'm gonna take. Oh, that's like, basically the same. We'll take that.
Tim Gettys
I'm taking it.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Well, yeah, I'm giving that to us. It's like a similar thing of, like, Uncharted, where the soundtracks are so similar. McGordon, you know, doing his thing. Good guess. Tim. DKC, Dong Kong country.
Tim Gettys
I love the song when this drops, man.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Dude.
Tim Gettys
God.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Even as a kid box, I'm just.
Tim Gettys
Like, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
See, this is very easy. I don't know about Doom, Doom eternal.
Tim Gettys
Silent Hill 2. Lower speed.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Good for you.
Tim Gettys
Yeah, good for you. This isn't a lot of orchestration, astral gay music concerts.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah.

Let's go.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, wow. This is recent.
Tim Gettys
Well, I mean, I. I don't know specifically.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh.
Tim Gettys
Oh, the video is. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if that version is from that.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, shoot. That could be so much.
Tim Gettys
Yeah.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Because I part like, it gives me dark cloud. But it's not dark Cloud. I know that. But also, it could be like, they.
Tim Gettys
Put dark cloud very easy. That would be insane work.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
It could be like a Stardew. Oh.
Tim Gettys
Oh, that's a good one. Yeah. I don't know what Stardew sounds like. I don't know what I think Stardew sounds like.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
This thing is like the star. Do you have more chiptuny type music or do they have music like that? I've not played Stardew.
Tim Gettys
It's like this. I think this sounds right to me. Let's lock it in.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
We're locking in. Stardew Valley. Let's go.
Tim Gettys
Yes.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Come on, baby.
Tim Gettys
Oh.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh. We got it.
Tim Gettys

Blessing Adeoye Jr.
For audio listeners, pause after.
Barrett Courtney
Let's though, because you were still a little hesitant.
Tim Gettys
I Was like, is this starting? Oh, Metal Gear. Yeah, yeah. Metal Gear Solid one.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Is this one?
Tim Gettys
Yeah.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yep. There you go. Get a call. I mean, come on. Pokemon, baby.
Tim Gettys
Red and blue.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
See, this is the one.
Tim Gettys
Oak's Lab.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, yeah, right, yeah. Pokemon Lab. This is one that could be a contender for like being representative of just video game music.
Tim Gettys
Yeah.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I'm gonna tell you right now, I'm not getting this.
Tim Gettys
I'm not either. A Witcher situation. Oh, do they have vocal tracks like this? This sounds very. Sure. That's all I know about music.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I don't. I mean, I don't recall, but you're. I mean, it could be my. My brain goes to near, but near doesn't have like. I don't think near has like a. Like an English no, because.
Tim Gettys
Yeah, like that just has that kind of like fantasy, like folk taley bullshit. I'm gonna go Witcher 3.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I'm not sold on Witcher 3, but I don't have another answer, so. Yeah, let's roll with Witcher 3. Oh, oh. Baldur's Gate 3. Okay, that actually makes sense.
Tim Gettys
F0.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah. How many do we have so far?
Tim Gettys
We have 11.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
11 out of 13.
Tim Gettys
Yeah. I was saying 25, man. Oh, what a dumb, dumb.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Come on.
Tim Gettys
Galaxy Shine dead.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I am worried.
Tim Gettys
Now we know it's Odyssey. It's Odyssey.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, yes. Oh, you're so lucky. Changed that last second. Good call. Good call.
Tim Gettys
God of War. Og God of War.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Damn. Tim is on it. Tim is on it.
Tim Gettys
Go.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
The God of War to you title. It's giving me like. I mean, it's Super Nintendo era is what it's giving me. Like. I almost want to say Earthbound, but that doesn't sound familiar to anything I know.
Tim Gettys
I think that's Earthbound.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Is it like, are you getting more SNES or NES from this?
Tim Gettys
I'm getting more. It's a new style, a new game with retro influence.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
But because I was gonna like go to like, like NES games that I haven't played. You know what I mean? Yeah, like Ice Climbers or some.
Tim Gettys
That's not Ice Climbers. I don't know. Pass.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, wait, hold on. Before you go, I'm gonna say something.
Barrett Courtney
Just throw any game out there.
Tim Gettys
Any game.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I'll just say fucking Ice Climbers. Oh, It's Wario Land 3.
Tim Gettys
Game Boy.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Wario Land 3. That makes sense. This is for sure something I know. Actually. No, I don't think I know this.
Tim Gettys
I don't know what this is, but this is hype.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Gettys
Do you know this One. Barrett.
Barrett Courtney
I'm in a similar place with Bless.
Tim Gettys
Where?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
It sounds real familiar. I almost.
Barrett Courtney
I've heard this track before, but I can't place it.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Is it, like an Atlas game? It reminds me.
Tim Gettys
I'm not helping you.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Like, anything. Oh, yeah, for sure. It reminds me of, like, the metaphor battle theme.
Tim Gettys
Yeah, but it like.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
But it's not. What's the. Oh, what's the game that they referenced in metaphor? Something. Etri and Odyssey. I'm gonna say Etri and Odyssey.
Tim Gettys
Good for you.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
That's what I'm gonna say.
Tim Gettys
Good for you.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, this was Witcher.
Tim Gettys
I'll remember.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Gettys
I wonder if Banjo.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah, there you go.
Tim Gettys
I wonder if the chat's popping up like we're idiots.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, for sure.
Tim Gettys
You can't see. I don't.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
From Banja Tui, of all things. Captain Toad. All right, that's number 19.
Tim Gettys
What?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
How many do you have? Correct.
Tim Gettys
You have 15.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
15 on the 19.
Tim Gettys
You've only missed four.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Missed four, but.
Tim Gettys
Okay. Next one is the final easy one.
Barrett Courtney
Okay, final, very easy.
Tim Gettys
Oh, very. God.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
The tough thing is that there's so many video games that exist.
Tim Gettys
There's so many.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Well, you give me this. This quiz in 2010. Oh, I got you. That's tough.
Tim Gettys
What was the super giant. The first super giant game?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Bastion.
Tim Gettys
I'm gonna say Bastion.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Really? I was thinking more like a fantasy. Like, I almost want to say Hearthstone, but I don't think it's Hearthstone. Unless you think. Wait a minute. I'm thinking something in that direction of, like.
Tim Gettys
I think you're right.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Of like, a card game or something. Or like, a store.
Tim Gettys
I think it's Hearthstone.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Hearthstone.
Tim Gettys
I think you're right.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Let's do. Let's say Hearthstone.
Tim Gettys
Dude.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
What the. Let's go.
Tim Gettys
Let's go. That was incredible. Yes. Oh, my God.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yo, this is exhilarating.
Tim Gettys
That was great. That was so good.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, what is this?
Tim Gettys
I like it.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
See, now, this sounds like a super giant game or something. Or like a boyfriend dungeon.
Tim Gettys
That was so exciting.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Or, like, that was really exciting. Or like a paradise killer or something. Like, I get those vibes from this, but I can't place. Place the song. This is the first of the easy, by the way. Which, by the way, very easy. Wasn't as very easy as I would have thought.
Tim Gettys
No, we did only miss four, but still, I think we're about to miss five. I don't know.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I mean, I guess I'll say. What was the first thing I said?
Tim Gettys
You said a super giant Game. I'm gonna say Transistor.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
No, because transistor is like a bit more vibey. I feel like I'm gonna say Bastion.
Tim Gettys
This ain't Bastion. No, no. Bastion had more of a Atari thing.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah, I'll say Pyre Fire.
Tim Gettys
Yeah.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, this is Dave the Diver. Yeah, I didn't play much Dave the Diver, sadly.
Tim Gettys
Let's go. Kirby's forgotten land there.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Wow. He's on it.
Tim Gettys
A little guy.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
We'Re gonna get to very hard in struggle. I know.
Tim Gettys
I mean, I do, too, but what.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Do you know what's fucking on my brain is that it sounds very close. I know it's not this. It sounds very close to the Pokemon Stadium 2 screen where you're picking your Pokemon for the battle.
Tim Gettys
I'm leaning more towards, like, it's not goldeneye, but like a battlefield or like older.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Older shooter. Like a. Like a. What's the one that. Not something. Not Shockers Tool Time. Time Splitters.
Tim Gettys
Something like that.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Something like a Time Splitter.
Tim Gettys
It's not Time Splitters, though. But yeah.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Could it be a different James Bond game?
Tim Gettys
No, because that's not James Bond.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah, you're right, dude.
Tim Gettys
They'd have a little bit more.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
A little bit more swag.
Tim Gettys
Yeah. Yeah. I might have to skip this one, too.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah. Also, I'll just say Time Splitters. Unreal. Tournament.
Tim Gettys
Tournament. Oh, we were close.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
We were really close.
Tim Gettys
Oh, wait.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah, we know this.
Tim Gettys
Pause it, pause it, pause it.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
We know. We love this robot.
Tim Gettys
It's after. It's Astrobot.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I think it might be. I'm just. It's Astrobot. I'm gonna say rescue mission.
Tim Gettys
No, that's. This is a new one.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Cool.
Tim Gettys
Yeah. Nice level. Disco Tree. Sick. Celeste.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah. This is. I mean, this should be very easy. This is the main theme of Celeste.
Tim Gettys
This must be one of the most played Spotify video game songs of all time.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, right. This honestly contender for a video game that's representative video game music. I don't know what this is, but I want to play it.
Tim Gettys
The Bongoey sounds are very Donkey Kong evocative, but that doesn't sound.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Could it be a Mario rpg?
Tim Gettys
Yes, it could, because that sounds like an rp.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Like an rpg.
Tim Gettys
I mean, that's. I don't think that's not Mario rpg. I don't think it's a Paper Mario.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
You don't think it's like a Mario and Luigi?
Tim Gettys
It could be. It could be. But I don't know.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Like, I get the vibe of. I'm entering into a JRPG battle, but it's like more of a lighthearted one.
Tim Gettys
Yeah, that could also just be like a 3D platformer. Like, boss fight.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
You know, we have the option to replay.
Tim Gettys
Yes.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Can I get that again?
Tim Gettys
We have to be limited on how we do that, though.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah, I know. We got. We got a time crunch. Because I need. I need to hear that a little bit more because I don't get. I don't think I get 3D platformer. Oh, man. Okay, I see where you're coming from.
Tim Gettys
Mystical ninja.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I see. I was thinking N64 era.
Tim Gettys
Let's go with that.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah, let's go with it. Oh, wow. We're way off. Never would have got Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney.
Tim Gettys
Never. I know this.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah, I. I know I've heard this before.
Tim Gettys
I know this.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I know I've heard this before. I cannot place it. Damn, you're right. This is embarrassing for me.
Tim Gettys
Bear.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Do you know it?
Barrett Courtney
No.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah. I got no answer.
Tim Gettys
I don't have an answer. Just to throw it out there, I'm gonna say Ori. I know it's not Ori, but sure.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, Stanley parable. Okay, that's a good pull. I don't. I wouldn't have placed that.
Tim Gettys
Yeah, dude.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Mega man, let's go. Dude. What is hard?
Tim Gettys
I didn't say nine. I could have pulled nine. I should have pulled.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I love that for you.
Tim Gettys
I'm sorry I let you all down. Come on. Cross Bandicoot. Crash Team Racing.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
He's locked in, everybody. I mean, from that instrument, I would have gotten to crash at least.
Tim Gettys
Nope.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
What's something that has a lot of wind?
Tim Gettys
Windfare.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
What? Wait, is that a game or are you thinking of Spirit Fair? I'm gonna say Windblown was a game. Right?
Tim Gettys
Wind Waker. I don't know. Yeah, this is a pass for me, I'm gonna say.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I mean, it's an indie game from like 2016. I feel like. Okay. I'm gonna say. Oh, what's the Zelda game that was like Wind Waker, like that Greg liked in like 2017. Ocean Horn. Oh, I'm gonna say ocean.
Tim Gettys
Yeah. That is a pole. I like it, though. I like. I see where your head is.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oxen free Beacon. That was close. It is a Greg game. Wow. This is embarrassing. See, this gives like early 2000s first person shooter. Like, I would say like a. I mean, not half life specifically, but like a half life vibe. Or like a Hitman.
Tim Gettys
I'm cool with Hitman.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Gettys
Yeah. I don't know. I don't have any other Thing I'm gonna say Hitman.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Really? This is the wolf among us?
Tim Gettys
Wouldn't have known. Bioshock.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Really?
Tim Gettys
Yeah. Wow.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, yeah. I hear it.
Tim Gettys
Welcome to raps.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I hear it now. Damn. But, like, from the first note, you had it.
Tim Gettys
The title track.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Damn.
Tim Gettys
Oh. Oh, wait. Spyro. Spyro Spiral. The goddamn Dragon.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, it would have taken me Those last notes.
Tim Gettys
23.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
23. Okay.
Tim Gettys
Fire emblem. I don't think it is, though.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
No, I'll. I'll say Fire Emblem with you. Yeah, we're going Fire Emblem. Oh, we got it.
Tim Gettys
You know what? It. I'm counting. I mean, yeah, we didn't call game title, but I'm counting. I don't care, y'all. Oh, I don't think I know this, but I want to play it.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I think I know this. Oh, it's like. It might be like a. I want to say, like, a hatful boyfriend time or a hat in time.
Tim Gettys
Sorry, what were you saying?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I was saying hattleful boyfriend. I was saying, like. Yeah, we both said hat at the same time.
Tim Gettys
Caught me off guard. I'm.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
No, I'm thinking more like. Like, goofy visual novel is where I meant.
Tim Gettys
I'm gonna go hat in time.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Let's do it. Let's say hat in time.
Tim Gettys
Yeah.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Because I'm not confident. Wow. Mario party five. Or, sorry, Mario party superstars.
Tim Gettys
This.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Persona three. Persona three. Reload.
Tim Gettys
There we go. 25.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
We did it. No, this.
Tim Gettys
No.
Barrett Courtney
Yeah, you're right.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I love the song.
Tim Gettys
Kirby.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I like that Pause it. I like that.
Tim Gettys
I mean, I know you. I know you know to pause it.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
It's definitely, like, authentically. Like any, like, authentically 8 bit or 16 bit error.
Tim Gettys
Yeah, that's the thing is I. I'm. It's hard to tell which exact Kirby it is, but I'm gonna. I'm gonna say, like, Kirby's Avalanche. But I'm just. I want the point for Kirby, period.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah, I'll take you on this. Kirby.
Tim Gettys
Yeah.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Regular Kirby 2D platformer. All right, let's do it. Kirby. Kirby in the Amazing Mirror. What platform was that on?
Tim Gettys
G.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Eldering.
Barrett Courtney
Sorry, I was slow at the pause.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, you're fine. I would have gotten anyway. I just knew.
Tim Gettys
I knew it.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I need to sing ahead, is the thing. I know this is it Luigi's Mansion. I was thinking Luigi. It's either Luigi's Mansion or the scary level in Banjo Kazooie. No, actually, no, it's not the scary level in Banjo. I'm gonna go Luigi's Mansion, actually.
Tim Gettys
Or it's not the main theme or anything. That's the only thing throwing me on.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
What are other games, other platformers with. With scary levels?
Tim Gettys
I mean, everyone. Mario. Possible. Right. So. But, like, it might be one of the newer ghost houses from, like, 3D World or something, you know, so to.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Try and game the system a little bit, I feel like all of the song choices we've gotten so far, they've all been kind of indicative of, like, something that's regular in the game. Like, we've not. I don't think we've gotten anything that's, like, very specific yet. You know what I mean?
Tim Gettys
Yeah.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Like, none of the tracks have been to throw us off. So I think it is a game that is authentically spooky.
Tim Gettys
I like where your head's at.
Barrett Courtney
I like that.
Tim Gettys
I mean it. Like, I'm gonna say Luigi's Mansion just because I don't think I have anything better.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah. I'll also say that I feel like there's. There's other spooky games that, like, we're not thinking of, but that's. I. Yeah. Let's say Luigi's Mansion for easy. I'll say Luigi's Mansion. This is the last one for easy, by the way. There we go. We got it. Luigi's Mansion three.
Tim Gettys
Three, huh?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
So that's the end of easy.
Tim Gettys
That's the end of easy.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
That's all right. 40 tracks that we've done.
Tim Gettys
28 out of 40.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
28 out of 40.
Tim Gettys
Okay, okay, okay.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Now we get into, like, the normal territory.

Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I'm scared.
Tim Gettys
I know. I was excited for a second.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah. I was like, I got this. Oh, I know this.
Tim Gettys
Hype.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Maybe I don't know this.
Tim Gettys
I, I, I'm gonna say Castlevania, but I, I don't know that to be true.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Organs. What's playing. What's what game has organs in it?
Tim Gettys
Castlevania.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I'm gonna say.
Tim Gettys
I'll say Castlevania has Castlevania kind of vibes.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Gettys
Let's go for it.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Let's do it. Let's do Castlevania. Hollow Knight. Sorry, Hollow Knight fans. We failed you. We know this. Oh, damn. You know, damn. Is it. It's not like an animal crossing, is it?
Tim Gettys
God. I, I, I know that too. I think it's Tropical Freeze. I think it's tropical freeze.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, listen, I'm with you.
Tim Gettys
I'm just holding Kong Country Returns or Tropical Freeze.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
All right. Modern Donkey Kong. I don't know if it is.
Tim Gettys
Oh, Yoko's Yoku's Island Express.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I played this shit.
Tim Gettys
Ah, damn, man.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I wouldn't have been able to hold that, though. Oh, we're for normal.
Tim Gettys
I'm.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
We're for normal. Yeah, that sounds. I know. That sounds so familiar, too.
Tim Gettys
I have no idea.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Barrett's gonna reveal it and we're gonna be upset with each other. I think that's where I'm at.
Tim Gettys
Let's see.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Let's see it. Never mind. I don't know what this game is. Worms World Party.
Tim Gettys
Played that one.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
This is not normal, by the way. This is hard. This is very hard.
Tim Gettys
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yes. No, this is getting. This is getting embarrassing.
Tim Gettys
Dang.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I said 80.
Tim Gettys
This is a skill check. You know what I mean?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
This really is a skill check. I got nothing. I don't even know what my guess would be.
Tim Gettys
Can we go back a little for this one?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
You know what this reminds me of? I don't even know what song this is, but, like, the.
Tim Gettys
It sounds like my heart will go on for Titanic. Yeah. A movie.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Wait, no, I'm not even singing. My heart will go. Or maybe I am. You know, I love.
Barrett Courtney
I love when you try to tell us songs.
Tim Gettys
He refuses to use English.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Because I don't know the words. I just know the tune.
Tim Gettys
Okay, so here's the thing. Using some context clues. That sounds like a modern narrative game, right?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
So we're going through him like, what God of War?
Tim Gettys
I don't think it's God of War.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Hellblade.
Tim Gettys
It's not Last of Us.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Horizon. That doesn't sound like Horizon.
Tim Gettys
I think it's Horizon. Yeah, let's just. Let's just take the L on this one.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Gettys
Heavy Rain, Detroit becomes human.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
But that's not. This is not normal difficulty. This is something I do know.
Tim Gettys
Dude. I mean, I know it too, but it's also like, this could be so many different things.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah, that sounds so familiar.
Tim Gettys
Is it Ghost?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I was gonna think I was gonna say ghost. I feel like we're wrong, but let's say Ghost of Tsushima disappointed you. Oh, come. Wow. Tim, here's the thing.
Tim Gettys
If it was reset, I would have known it. That is bad.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Okay, now we're just bullshitting around. What game has like a medley of classic orchestral songs?
Tim Gettys
Like a Looney Tunes of something?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
That's what I was thinking, man.
Tim Gettys
I'm so upset I missed Okami. That's crazy.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I mean, maybe a Psychonauts or something. It would have to be something that's like looney.
Tim Gettys
He's not wrong. I don't know. I don't know.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Let's go.
Tim Gettys
Why not?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, yeah.
Tim Gettys
That literally was down that for us.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
But we should have stopped Looney Tunes Racing, man.
Tim Gettys
Oh, it's not enough, man.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah, I mean, you know.
Tim Gettys
Yeah.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I. I also.
Tim Gettys
I'm.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I almost want to say Silent Hill again.
Tim Gettys
Silent Hill again.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Silent H again. Darkest dungeon.
Tim Gettys
Nope.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Who in the world's gonna high score on this? See, this is fun. Because now it's like, damn, I gotta play a lot more games.
Tim Gettys
We messed up. Like, we ran the ads and that fucked us. You know what I mean? Everything's changed. I missed the before ads days, man. Yeah, it has a plucky Wind Waker energy, but I don't think that's Wind Waker.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah, no, I mean, I'm trying to think of something that sounds higher budget. Like, it sounds like something that has like some TLC put into it. Yeah, it gives me like. So, like somebody's exploring a mystery type of type thing, right? Somebody's getting to the bottom of the thing. What's the skill? What's that Skeleton man in the adventure game that you like?
Tim Gettys
Barrettango? No. All right, let's. Let's just.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Let's get In I'm saying grim Fandango, Pikmin 4. Sorry, I've never.
Tim Gettys
This is the most insane quiz ever.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
It's the thing where, you know, for game showdown, often when I make trivia, when I do think things like this, right. I do think of the panel that's. That's competing. And I'm like, all right. What is in the realm of possibility? Forget. And I narrow down who's. Who is like nailing all these dude.
Tim Gettys
All right.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I want to make a person that's like, oh, man, y'all. Y'all know about the Looney Tunes racing soundtrack. Let me tell you. And they. And they're into Silent Hill 2.
Tim Gettys
Man, this one's rough. It sounds like very pizza inspired. Maybe a GBA game.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Is it Spider man? Spider Man 2 for Game Boy advance. Delivering pizzas.
Tim Gettys
Potentially. I'm gonna say Wario something.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Okay. I'm sticking to Spider Man 2 on the game Boy Advance. Shovel Knight. It's Shovel Knight. It's Shovel Knight. It's Shovel Knight.
Tim Gettys
I wouldn't have pulled that if it was the main theme or something. I would have got it. Oh.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
This sounds like something I know. Well, yeah.
Barrett Courtney
Because it was every pop song.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah.
Barrett Courtney
The year 2007 to 2011.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I know. Get further on that. It's a hit. Get further on that. That's going triple platinum. No features, no will. I am.
Tim Gettys
Damn. I thought I had it. I don't. This is. I'm falling apart before everyone's eyes.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I am, too. It's gonna be like. It's gonna be like an indie game that has like a really cool pixel art style that's about loss, but also like, I don't know, direct soundtrack.
Tim Gettys
You know what I mean? In this cozy game.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I mean, it sounds like Fergie is going to go crazy on that.
Tim Gettys
Let's go.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah, let us know what it is. Wow. I mean, you're onto it with Nintendo. Yoshi's Woolly World was the answer. I mean, come on. It's Tekken. Oh, yeah, Good. This is Tekken Tag tournament. Tech attack tournament one awesome character selects.
Tim Gettys
PS2 launch title, baby. Good. Pole blast.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Finally. Finally a W. I'm gonna say Return the Monkey Island. Not Return to Monkey Island. I'm gonna say one of the early Monkey island games.
Tim Gettys
I'm going to say Final Fantasy 8.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh. Two very different answers. Give me another Nintendo game.
Tim Gettys
Watch.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Wait, I got it. Well, you said one of the early ones. It is Return to Monkey island, though.
Barrett Courtney
I'll give it to you.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Let me say. Because now now what I'm realizing is that when I just, like, spit out an answer, it actually works out.
Tim Gettys
So what does it feel like?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I'm gonna say it's some random scene in Bioshock Infinite. That's what I'm saying.
Tim Gettys
All right.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
BioShock Infinite scene in BioShock Infinite. Dude.
Tim Gettys
Chat. He ran away.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Let's go. That was BioShocky Infinite. It was BioShocky Infinite. Oh, I'm good at this. I'm so good. I'm good at this, y'all. Oh, dude, we should have made this a competition. We should have got competitive with this. Roll the next one, Barrett. I'm on fire right now.
Tim Gettys
Banjo.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I'm gonna say conquer. Yeah.
Tim Gettys
Wait. Yeah. I'm out of breath. We already had banjos. Yeah, it's not banjo. Conquer. I like. I like conquer.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Tear away.
Tim Gettys
That was insane.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Hold that. Oh, I know this. Is this not a Zelda? I know this track. Can you play this again?
Barrett Courtney
Hold on.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
There we go. I know this.
Tim Gettys
It does sound Zelda, like, production quality, but I. I can't pinpoint that.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Maybe it's like. Is it a Last Guardian or like, a. Because again, either Zelda or, like, a. I want to say, like, a final fantasy. Maybe it's the last story.
Tim Gettys
One of. Yeah. Like.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah.
Tim Gettys
From the creators of Final Fantasy type games.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
This sounds like it's from something special to me. And whenever I say that, it turns out to be a random game.
Tim Gettys
But let's see.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I'm gonna say the last story for we. Oh, I was so close, though. Xenoblade Chronicles. I mean, it sounds like a game that I played, but I'd never heard the song before in my life. That sounds like something I played.
Tim Gettys
I am lost at this point.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Let us see.
Barrett Courtney
Seems like a game you would have played.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yep. Danganronpa.
Tim Gettys
Yeah.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
In another life, I would have played Danganronpa. Glad I didn't, though.
Tim Gettys
All right, this is a Nintendo game.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Wait, that whistle. That whistle sounds like. It sounds like something. I know. I'm gonna say Mario.
Tim Gettys
Where?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
That's actually not a bad answer. I was. I was gonna go back to Animal Crossing again, but that doesn't. Animal Crossing has, like, a lot of relaxing music, so I'm thinking of, like, if you go into a special shop or something. But I've not played enough Animal Crossing to know if there's.
Tim Gettys
Yeah.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
If they have those. I'm gonna stick with Animal Crossing. Mario versus Donkey Kong. That whistle did give Mario franchise vibes.
Tim Gettys
I definitely know this game.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I kind of want to say Like a Mario party. But, like, it sounds all too epic.
Barrett Courtney
Reminder that we've already had a Mario party.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Show it. Oh, good point.
Tim Gettys
It's. It's giving me, like, a Mario Kart menu vibe, but it's like, I can't think of any Mario Kart. It would be.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Is it a Mario Sports game? Maybe.
Tim Gettys
Oh, maybe I'm comfortable locking in a Mario Sports game.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I'm gonna say Mario Sluggers.
Tim Gettys
Let's go.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
This Katamari Damacy. I didn't know they had music like this in Katamari.
Tim Gettys
Oh, yeah, definitely. They go crazy.
Barrett Courtney
Last normal.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Last normal. I got nothing. I got nothing.
Tim Gettys
This is hard. Like, very Prince of Persia esque instrumentation going on.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
But I'm gonna say it's an Assassin's Creed thing.
Tim Gettys
I think Assassin's Creed's more likely given the levels of production value on that. So, yeah, let's go. Assassin's Creed.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Oh, wait. Oh, Monster Hunter. Rise. For a second, I thought it was. What was that game? The Wild Hearts game. I think it was just called Wild Hearts.
Tim Gettys
Yeah.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
And I was about to be like, this is some. It was Wild Hearts.
Tim Gettys
Oh, man. Okay.
Barrett Courtney
All right, so we're at the end of normal. We do have to be live in 15 minutes for our crossover with Giant Bomb here. Do we want to just kind of play it out and then kind of. See, no pauses, no pauses, no pauses, no anything. And then we just go as long as we can.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
This is what I'll say. If in. If in hard or very hard, we can. We collectively can get four.
Tim Gettys
I'm gonna be stoked then.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Yeah, then we'll call out a victory.
Tim Gettys
I'm gonna be.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Our goal is to get four.
Tim Gettys
Let's get to it. No pause, no pausing. Oh, my God.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Let's go. I'm gonna say a Mario party. I'm gonna say a Mario party for everything. Damn it. Oh, man.
Tim Gettys
This is a Zelda.
Barrett Courtney
Which one?
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
Zelda. Wind Waker. I'm saying George Mask.
Tim Gettys
Nah, baby.
Barrett Courtney
It'S two Tuni.
Tim Gettys
Yeah, you right.
Blessing Adeoye Jr.
I'm gonna say Hitman. Early Hitman. Nope. Gato Roboto. This is a good game. I like Atrobato. Ori saying Skyrim. Neo 2.

That was insane. Let us know in the comments below if you want more of this. I had a lot of fun. That was super cool. I feel like we can. We can get something going here. But thank you for hanging out with us. If you're on Twitch, stay where you are. If you're on YouTube, you got to jump over to the Monaco 2 stream. It's going to be a blast. Kind of funny versus Giant Bomb. Sorry, we have to get out of here before finishing the story.
Barrett Courtney
We'll come back.

Kinda Funny Gamescast: Video Game Music Quiz - Detailed Summary
Release Date: April 9, 2025
Hosts:
At the onset of the episode, Tim Gettys introduces a fresh and entertaining segment—a video game music quiz. Inspired by a YouTube video he stumbled upon, Tim proposes that he and Blessing Adeoye Jr. challenge each other to identify various video game soundtracks within a limited timeframe. This new gameplay brings an element of excitement (and potential embarrassment) to the show, setting the stage for engaging interactions.
Tim Gettys [00:56]: "This is very exciting to me and it might be very embarrassing for us."
The hosts delve into the mechanics of the quiz, outlining the rules and their initial strategies. The quiz comprises 100 video game soundtracks, each to be identified within 10 seconds. The soundtracks are categorized into four difficulty levels: Very Easy, Easy, Normal, Hard, and Very Hard. Points are earned based on difficulty, adding a competitive edge to the segment.
Blessing Adeoye Jr. [01:27]: "I'm also very terrified that this is going to expose me."
The trio voices their confidence and camaraderie, emphasizing teamwork while hinting at the challenges ahead.
The quiz kicks off with the easier tracks, allowing the hosts to warm up. Blessing showcases impressive knowledge by correctly identifying classics like "Zelda: Ocarina of Time" and "Mario World."
Blessing Adeoye Jr. [11:23]: "Zelda, Ocarina of Time, specifically."
Tim and Blessing discuss the iconic nature of these soundtracks, reflecting on their lasting impact in the gaming community.
Tim Gettys [10:03]: "Zelda. Yes, Zelda. Final Fantasy."
As the quiz progresses into the Normal category, the difficulty intensifies. The hosts encounter tracks from games like "Stardew Valley" and "Metal Gear Solid." While Blessing maintains a strong performance, some tracks prove challenging, leading to humorous exchanges and playful frustration.
Blessing Adeoye Jr. [24:34]: "This is the main theme of Celeste."
Tim Gettys [27:05]: "I'm sorry I let you all down."
In the latter segments, the quiz reaches its peak difficulty. The hosts grapple with soundtracks from niche titles such as "Katamari Damacy" and "Shadow of the Colossus." Despite their best efforts, several answers remain elusive, showcasing the vast and varied landscape of video game music.
Tim Gettys [46:27]: "From the creators of Final Fantasy type games."
Blessing Adeoye Jr. [53:57]: "We got one more for hard. Doom 2016."
Throughout the quiz, the hosts engage in lively banter, highlighting their personalities and deep-seated love for gaming. Their interactions range from supportive encouragement to lighthearted ribbing, enhancing the episode's entertainment value.
Barrett Courtney [00:56]: "Do we get you connected with TED Talks and you do a TED Talk?"
Blessing Adeoye Jr. [02:47]: "How can we do a? Can I invent a PAX talk? How do I."
The chemistry between Tim and Blessing is palpable, fostering an environment of friendly competition and mutual respect.
As the quiz advances, the increasing difficulty exposes gaps in the hosts' knowledge, leading to moments of self-deprecation and humor. These challenges underscore the expansive nature of video game music and the excellence found across genres and platforms.
Blessing Adeoye Jr. [36:55]: "Doom Eternal. We got one."
Tim Gettys [37:10]: "Can we go back a little for this one?"
Due to time constraints and an upcoming live stream collaboration with Giant Bomb, the episode concludes before all tracks are identified. However, the hosts express enthusiasm for continuing the quiz in future episodes, inviting listeners to participate and provide feedback.
Tim Gettys [55:46]: "All right, we gotta do the stream. It's important. We're timing. We're collabing with Giant Bomb Blessed. I will have to figure this out. We'll get back to it and see."
Before transitioning to the main quiz, Tim Gettys briefed listeners on exciting upcoming content, including a limited series deep dive into "The Elder Scrolls Online" and a crossover stream featuring Giant Bomb. These segments promise in-depth interviews and lively collaborations, ensuring continued engagement for the audience.
Tim Gettys [03:22]: "After a little housekeeping this Friday, very big stuff. We are kicking off the Elder Scrolls Online podcast..."
