Round 2: Normal Difficulty

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.

Tim Gettys [27:05]: "I'm sorry I let you all down."

Round 3: Hard to Very Hard
