Transcript

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Today we're asking, who's that video game character? Get ready for Game Showdown. Yo, what's up? Welcome to Game Showdown. I'm your host Blessing at Aoea Junior. And I'm joined by three contestants representing three teams. We got Tim Gettys representing team Orange. Let's go. We got Andy Cortez representing team Purple.

[Tim Gettys]

Just happy to be here.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And we have Mr. Stars in the Bank. Greg Miller representing team Blue.

[Greg Miller]

How you doing? I want to congratulate you on having the first ever Game Showdown T shirt up on right now. Kind of funny.com store. I know it's a big day for you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

The first ever.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah, well, it's the first time you've ever had a shirt up there, right? The Game Showdown has never had a shirt.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I see what you're saying. Yes, yes, yes.

[Greg Miller]

If you love this show, everybody go get the Game Showdown shirt right now. Kind of funny.com store. Not much to explain.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

People know the Tim Gettys farewell Tour.

[Greg Miller]

The Tim Gettys farewell tour is upon us. We have been giving Tim gifts all week long. We will continue every business day until April 2nd. As the shirt says, when I take the three stars I'm owed because of Stars in the Bank.

[Andy Cortez]

In the last 10 years, the word bully really kind of changed. You know what I mean? It like kind of turned into like a bad word. You know what I mean? Like, it used to just be description, whatever. Now it's like, oh, if you say it's bad, at what point is this bullying? You know what I mean?

[Greg Miller]

I mean, it's. I understand that. And I've seen a lot of people, oh, you're going to ruin the switch to direct. This sucks. Blah, blah, blah. Yeah, you can address all your complaints to blessing, all right? I didn't. I didn't ask for the weight of stars.

[Tim Gettys]

I didn't want this.

[Greg Miller]

You gave this to me and said I can cash it in whenever I want.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You won. It was a six person gauntlet.

[Greg Miller]

Sure.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And you competed for it.

[Greg Miller]

But you put it into our lives. You're the devil here. You're the one who gave us Oppenheimer.

[Tim Gettys]

Didn't know what he was doing when he made that bomb.

[Greg Miller]

How's that feel, Mr. Murphy? Okay.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I have been feeling a lot like Oppenheimer with this whole thing.

[Greg Miller]

So that's the thing. This is a monster of your own creation. You made me Mr. Stars in the Bank. You agreed to Carl's thing, that it's for three stars.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I don't know if I did that very clearly.

[Greg Miller]

On camera. That happened or whatever. And so like, this is just how it is. I'm sorry that I had to go make a shirt for you. That I made this happen for you. I'm sorry. I'm giving Tim cakes and people are asking like it's a bad thing over here.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, the cake said die on it.

[Greg Miller]

But it had three stars on it and it didn't say die, Tim. A lot of people are misconstrueding that too. It didn't say Die, Tim. We never really addressed it. I can't help what they write on the cake at Safeway. All right, so.

[Andy Cortez]

Just kidding.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That way you can. I mean, that's the whole thing.

[Greg Miller]

Heard it both ways.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

We're going to start off with a trivia question worth 10 points and the chance to start off strong. Contestants buzz in to answer.

[Tim Gettys]

Look at him cheating on his phone. What's he doing?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Greg, phones away.

[Tim Gettys]

He's on.

[Greg Miller]

His phone's away.

[Andy Cortez]

I gotta, I gotta, I gotta make a call and confirm a reservation for lunch that we're doing for Kevin's.

[Greg Miller]

You know what, that's a great point. Feel free to leave. Tim, feel free to go.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

So I lied earlier. You're not going to buzz in the answer for this one because this is a numbers game. Going to ask you the number of certain thing. You'll each get a chance to guess the number with no repeat guesses allowed. Whoever gets the closest without going over will get the points. If you all go over, then the lowest guess gets the points.

[Greg Miller]

Got it?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Contestants, are you ready?

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Yes.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Tim is.

[Greg Miller]

He's coming back. He's coming back.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah. He heard it all. He heard it all clearly. Tim, you want to go the highest possible.

[Greg Miller]

Highest possible.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

In the popular 2018 video game among us, including post launch updates and not including the player lobby. How many playable maps are there now? Bear, who won last week? Tim, do you remember which team last episode?

[Andy Cortez]

Ben Starr won.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yes, you are correct. Ben Starr did for Tim last week. So Tim, you'll get the first guess.

[Andy Cortez]

8.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Tim says 8. Greg.

[Greg Miller]

9.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Rex is 9. Andy, 6. Andy says 6. The correct answer for how many playable maps are there in among us is five. There are five playable maps. That means Andy gets the points for getting the closest. The maps are of course, the scaled Mirror, hq, Polis, the airship and the fungal of course. Remember, this is disgustingly paper toss.

[Tim Gettys]

You're like that dog on TikTok I've been watching recently. They're like, no, you're not getting stacks. And she goes.

[Greg Miller]

And that's why there's the slashing farewell.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Ah, the rules are simple. Round robin is a pretty straightforward question and answer game about video games. I'll give you a question. You have your buzzers that you'll 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 per contestants. Are you ready?

[Greg Miller]

Yes.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Round one. In 1995, it was highly theorized that one video game was the most installed piece of software that year, more so than Windows 95 itself, leading to Bill Gates contemplating possibly purchasing the studio who made the game. What is the name of this revolutionary first person?

[Andy Cortez]

Tim Doom.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Doom is the correct answer. That is 10 points to Tim.

[Greg Miller]

Big fan.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Round two.

[Tim Gettys]

Give him a lot of gifts.

[Greg Miller]

That's why I like them so much.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

In the 2016 indie hit Stardew Valley, players take on the responsibility of managing a farm. This involves making friends with characters around town, fishing, cooking, crafting, planting crops and harvesting resources. In Stardew Valley, planting a flower near a bee house will produce increased amounts of what? Andy?

[Tim Gettys]

Honey.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Honey is the correct answer. That is 10 points for each.

[Andy Cortez]

Did you know that it was.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, he said bee house. Clicking it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Round number three. It's time to order up. I want you to arrange the following games from the Battlefield franchise and release order.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh me.

[Greg Miller]

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You're going to see them in a second, but I'll read them off to you first. The games are Battlefield 1, Battlefield 2042, Battlefield 5 and Battlefield Hardline. Barrett has a graphic he'll bring up with the games. Buzz in if you know the answer.

[Greg Miller]

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That is the correct answer.

[Andy Cortez]

That is 10:22 is the latest one.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. So Battlefield Hardline came out in 2015, one in 2016, five in 2018, and then 2042 came out in 2021 during the pandemic.

[Greg Miller]

I've never heard of 2041. Whatever the.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Round number four. This is a special round. I'm calling who's that character? Similar to who's that? Pokemon Honor of Nintendo. Today, I'm going to show you a silhouette of a video game character. Your task is to buzz in and tell me the name of that character. Each correct guess is worth 10 points.

[Tim Gettys]

Nico de Rico.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That is not correct. Each correct answer is worth 10 points. Contestants, you can buzz in to answer. Round number one. Barrett, bring it up. That is Greg Miller.

[Greg Miller]

Nathan Drake.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Nathan Drake is the correct answer. Barrett, bring up round number two. That is Greg Miller. Sorry.

[Greg Miller]

That, of course, is Hitman. Agent 47.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Agent 47 is indeed the correct answer. Barrett. Round number three. Andy.

[Tim Gettys]

Returnals. Fucking lady.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I need the full. I need the first name of this character. If you want to see Returnal lady, I can. I can accept that as the answer. How sure?

[Tim Gettys]

How. How sure are you that you need that?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'm in the ballpark, but I'm not there. Serena.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Serena is incorrect, but so close. Her name is Selene. Ah, Selene from Returnal. Was the correct answer there?

[Greg Miller]

Can I get a tip of the hat?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

No.

[Greg Miller]

Fuck.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, the Strats just go fi. The. Hold on. I'm getting some light reflection because I didn't even see it before I guessed. Fucking Tidus.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Tidus is incorrect. Tim and Greg have a guess here.

[Greg Miller]

I know the game, and I can picture the little fucking.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Greg and Tim look like they don't have a game.

[Greg Miller]

As long as Tim doesn't get it. Because Tim knows this. He's gonna be mad when he sees it. Yeah, yeah. Let me know when you can call it so I can say the game and feel smart.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Chai.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Chai is the name of the character. Sadly, nobody gets points for that for that. No.

[Andy Cortez]

Damn.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'll keep asking though. At some point I'll give you one.

What the he said is short. It's Clementine from the Walking Dead.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Clementine. I do believe it is season the correct answer. That brings us out of our special round. Who's that character? And back into a regular round of Kind of Feudi. Our next round, round number four. 5. In the third season of Netflix's House of Cards, a popular mobile game found itself as a minor. Yeah, you buzz for this?

Me too.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Sorry. Back into game showdown. My bad. Back into round robin.

[Andy Cortez]

Shouldn't count.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Next round. Baron, I think I fucked up the numbering on this one. Just a heads up. I don't know if you see this, but I think there's a number here missing. So maybe jump ahead in terms of the rounds or keep an eye on it just so you have visibility. Next up, our next round. We got a messy mashup for you.

[Greg Miller]

Love it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'm going to read to you a clue which will be the description of a game. The answer will be the name of two games mashed up together. For example, in this game, sneak through top down corridors while defending the planet from alien invasion. The answer there would be Metal Gears of War contestants. Are you ready? Yes, sir.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That is incorrect. Three, two, one. The correct answer here is take two. Oh, you can do a take. Clever.

[Greg Miller]

Clever. That's fun.

[Tim Gettys]

Okay, I like that.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Next round. If you put a hat on a cpu, you can call it this. Had fun with this one, guys? Yeah. If you put a hat on a cpu, you can call it this. You. Five more seconds. Three, two. Greg Miller.

[Greg Miller]

Techland.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That is incorrect. The correct answer. Capcom. Capcom. Yeah. Yeah. Round number four. The next one here. If you're not hard, you're likely this. Tim.

[Andy Cortez]

You be soft.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You be soft. There you go. That is 10 points to Tim. Next round. This indie crew is more than old enough to drive, but not quite old enough to vote. This indie crew is more than old enough to drive, but not quite old enough to to vote.

[Greg Miller]

Regular team 17.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Team 17 is the correct answer. That is 10 points to Greg. Next round. If there's an emergency happening, it's best not to do this. Greg.

[Greg Miller]

Panic.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Panic is the correct answer. That is 10 more points to Greg. Next one. This is a step up from 2D territories. Greg.

[Greg Miller]

3D realms.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

3D realms is the correct answer. Greg's on a roll here. Next one. I don't like my games willed with pride. I like them more this way. I'm sorry. I don't like my games filled with pride. I like them more this way. Andy.

[Tim Gettys]

Humble.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Humble is the correct answer. Our last one. It's pronounced how it's spelled. Tim.

[Andy Cortez]

Play on.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Play on is the correct answer. Now, from here on.

[Greg Miller]

That was a good one.

[Andy Cortez]

Thank you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I appreciate it.

[Andy Cortez]

Very good, very good.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Now, from here on, correct answers are worth 10 points, and I'm not asking questions to the group. These are tailored questions for each contestant and you only have 15 seconds to answer, starting with Greg. Greg Sid is a cranky villager in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Animal Crossing New Horizons and was added to Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. What type of animal, Sid? Greg says frog. Frog is incorrect. Now, since Greg got this wrong, Andy and Tim, you have the opportunity to rob this round from Greg. And I'm going to give you multiple choice options here. The question is, what type of animal is Sid? In Animal Crossing, your choices are A, tortoise, B, bear, or C. Elephant.

[Greg Miller]

I would have been wrong on that one too, Andy.

[Tim Gettys]

Elephant.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Andy says elephant. Elephant is the correct answer. That is 20 points for Andy Cortez.

[Tim Gettys]

It just looked like one.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah. I was struggling to see him. I was seeing Sid from Ice Age.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah. I was thinking of Sid from Toy Story. And then we did this and I was like, I remember.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I thought, what if I told you Sid was spelled CY D?

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. Our next one is for Tim Geddes. Tim, what was the last ever game to be released internationally on the Nintendo Wii?

[Greg Miller]

I ate a bunch of apples before this.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, they're really good, man. Refresh.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, wait. Just dance.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You have a specific year.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, you stupid idiot. You're not a good baby today.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You're not baby.

[Tim Gettys]

You're a bad baby.

[Andy Cortez]

2020.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Tim says just dance. 2020. Just dance. 2020 is the correct answer. Holy. I was not expecting you to get that. That's good.

[Tim Gettys]

It's like we don't even care about the timer anymore, you know, the timer was long gone by that point.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Greg distracted with the apples. I was even looking at the timer. My bad, Tim. That is the correct answer. That is still there.

[Tim Gettys]

Way over time. Yeah. 15 seconds.

[E]

Just dance at the like the 15 second point. And then bless followed up with.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Oh, yeah, that is true. That might have turned it off. Our last one here is for Andy. Andy, what year did the first Call of Duty game release Year? What year did the first Call of Duty game?

[Greg Miller]

Call of Duty.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Call of Duty game.

[Greg Miller]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

That is 1999.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Andy says 1999. That is incorrect. Of course. Tim, Greg, you have the opportunity to rob this. Andy, I got multiple choice options for you here. The question is, what year did the first Call of Duty game release? Is it a.

[Greg Miller]

Can I just stop? I'm so on fire. 1997. Just whichever one that is. That's what the answer is.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

1997 is incorrect. The options are 2002, 2003, or 2004.

[Andy Cortez]

2004.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Tim says 2004. 2004 is incorrect. Nobody gets it. My first guess, 2002 is also incorrect.

[Andy Cortez]

2003 is the year between 3 and 4.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It came out October 29, 2003 on.

[Tim Gettys]

P C. Yeah, I didn't play COD, but these are all tailored to us, so that's cool.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That does bring us to the end about cod.

[Andy Cortez]

I didn't play just.

[Tim Gettys]

You're the head shot, you know, we news. I don't know cod.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Don't you have like a million hours, guy?

[E]

You know?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, you like first person you knew soap.

[Tim Gettys]

I didn't know who so McTavish was.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That is a good point. You didn't know who so McTavish was.

[Tim Gettys]

I did.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That does bring us to the end of Round Robin. Barrett, what's the current score right now?

[E]

The current score Tied for last place, it is both Andy Cortez for Team Purple and Tim Geddes for team orange with 50 points each. And the man running away with it locked in this week. It is Greg Miller, Tim's best friend for Team Blue with 110 points. But it's still anybody's game.

[Tim Gettys]

These are all gifts for Tim.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And we're back. Let's play Critical Hit.

[Greg Miller]

Sponsored by the.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Store if you want to get this shirt. The rules are simple. Critical Hit is a game about video game reviews. I'm going to read to you review blurbs about a game and it is up to you to buzz in and guess what the game the review is based on. Each round has three different blurbs for the same game. The earlier you guess the game the more points you'll get with a max of 30 points per round. But you only have one guess per blurb. The add on here is that if you get the game right, you have the chance to guess the exact Metacritic score of the game for a critical hit to double your points for the round. Contestants, are you ready?

[Greg Miller]

Ready?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You played this game plenty of times before. Let's start off with round number one. The first review comes from Game Informer, who gave this game an 8.3 out of 10 and says if your interest lies solely with the single player experience, and let's be frank, this is why we counted down the days until this game's release. I walked away from it pleased, but also unfulfilled. This game eventually becomes the sequel I hoped for, but spends too much time getting there. Greg Miller Uncharted 3 that is incorrect. If Andy or Tim don't have a guess, I'll move on to the second. Tim's thinking about it. He's thinking about it. He's thinking you're solid too. Nope. And he's not buzzing in, so we'll move on to the second blurb. IGN gave this game a 9.1 out of 10 and says and let's not forget about the multiplayer, which is actually set before the events of the first game, while a civil war was raging in the city. Andy Resistance Resistance is incorrect. There are story bits built into this as well, and people familiar with the fiction will be pleased to see how the Modern Warfare style leveling and unlock structure is bookended. Greg Resistance 2 that is incorrect. Our book ended by cinematics. That's the end of that. Tim has the option to buzz in here, but it looks like he's got nothing. Tim metal gear solid 4 oh, that is incorrect. Our last blurb comes from Giant Bomb, who gave this game four out of five and says returning to this city, even a different part of the city is naturally going to be less impressive, but the smart additions on the gameplay side make this game rewarding in a different way, while those who want to know more about the underwater city will find just enough to make the return trip. Greg Miller BioShock 2 BioShock 2 is the correct answer. That is 10 points. But Greg, you do have the option to double your 10 points if you can tell me the exact Xbox360 Metacritic of BioShock 2.

[Greg Miller]

82.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

82 is not the correct answer. It's an 88 on Metacritic for BioShock 2. Let's move on to round number two. This first one comes from the Verge, who didn't give this game a score, but did say despite being a largely linear game, this game gives you a surprising amount of freedom for how you want to approach things. There's melee combat, a wide range of weapons you upgrade over time, and even a high tech glove that basically gives you force powers so you can pick up things and toss them around. A lot there to chew on.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, there is. Sure is.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

If nobody's gonna buzz in, I'll move on to the second blurb from IGN who gave this game a 7 out of 10 and says this is a supremely atmospheric and action heavy tour through a spectacular slaughterhouse set in distant space. Andy.

[Greg Miller]

Shit.

[Tim Gettys]

Dead Space.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Dead Space is incorrect.

[Greg Miller]

Fuck. I can feel this one. This one's nipping at the sides of my brain. I don't have the answer. I'm not going to buzz in.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

But we'll move on to the third and final blurb. Eurogamer recommends this game and says ultimately this game's frenzied action and brutal battles have still impressed me in all the right ways. Drawing on all that makes Dead Space brilliant and building upon that impressive frequency framework. Andy.

[Tim Gettys]

Callisto Protocol.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

The Callisto Protocol is the correct answer.

[Greg Miller]

Good job, Andy.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's 10 points. You can double those 10 points. You can tell me the exact PS5 Metacritic of Callisto Protocol.

[Tim Gettys]

PS5 Metacritic. I'll go with 79.

[Greg Miller]

Good answer.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

79. The correct answer for the PS5 Metacritic. Of course. PS5 being the most reviewed platform. 69.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, shit. Damn.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

Fuck. That means it got like a bunch of fives and fours. God damn.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Our next round.

[Tim Gettys]

That's surprising.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Round number three. IGN gave this game an 8.2 out of 10 and says without a single word of text. The developer managed to create a pair of sweet, endearing characters that I genuinely want to wanted to root for small details like how they cower in fear when they see a ghost. Add a nice dollop of charm to the whole package.

[Andy Cortez]

Cower in fear.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Nobody's going to buzz in. I'll move on.

[Greg Miller]

I think I'm way out of pocket on this because I just never played it and I don't know anything about it really. But Brothers.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Brothers is incorrect.

[Greg Miller]

I don't remember if they was talking.

[Andy Cortez]

I'm with you there too. I was thinking that.

[Tim Gettys]

I got nothing.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Our second blurb comes from Slant magazine who gave this game a 9 out of 10 and says this is a powerful gesture of confidence by Nintendo. A spin off game with more original ideas than most companies. New IPs. Andy.

[Tim Gettys]

Luigi's Mansion.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Luigi's Mansion is incorrect.

[Greg Miller]

Can I hear the first blur?

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, please.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I'll read both. Both them for you. IGN giving an 8.2 out of 10 and says without a single word of text. The developer managed to create a pair of sweet, endearing characters that I genuinely wanted to root for. Small details like how they cower in fear when they see a ghost. Add a nice dollop of charm to the whole package. And the Slate magazine gave it a 9 out of 10 and says this is a powerful gesture of confidence by Nintendo. A spin off game with more original ideas than most companies.

[Greg Miller]

New IP Greg Miller it's not at all spin Zack and Wiki. I'm just happy I was able to pull that out of my ass.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You know what? Zack and Wiki is not the correct answer. That's your tip of the hat.

[Greg Miller]

Thank you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's what you urge me to the day.

[Greg Miller]

I appreciate that.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

1. Our final blurb comes from CNET who gave this game an unscored review, but said in Fact using the GamePad to play this game is probably our least favorite part of the whole experience. Being forced to touch areas of the screen to move objects is umbersome. And the first person aiming levels that turn the gamepad into the protagonist's viewpoint. Greg.

[Greg Miller]

I mean, I don't know. So I'm just saying. Adventureland. Where was I? Adventure. Adventureland. It's not what it was even called. These.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Adventureland is incorrect.

[Andy Cortez]

Are you talking about Nintendo Land?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, that makes sense. The aiming levels that turn the gamepad into the protagonist viewpoint would be much better enjoyed with just a standard gamepad as our last blurb was it.

[Greg Miller]

Don't just dumb it.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Contestants are thinking real hard. Andy.

[Tim Gettys]

Street Pass.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Street Pass is incorrect. Tim, you're a final guess here. Mr. Nintendo.

[Andy Cortez]

Ah, man. Fatal Frame. Curse of the Black Maiden.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That is incorrect.

[Tim Gettys]

Damn, you have that whole subtitle.

[Andy Cortez]

I'm not even sure I got it right.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

The correct answer here. I'm like looking at chat. I'm surprised. Chat. I don't think has it either. The correct answer here is Captain Captain Toad Treasure Tracker.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, okay.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

For the Wii U.

[Andy Cortez]

That's so funny. I was definitely like noodling that, but I don't remember. Let's read the first thing. Two charming characters without dialogue.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah. Without a single. This is IGN's review. Without a single word of text, the developer managed to create a pair of sweet, endearing characters that I genuinely wanted to root for.

[Andy Cortez]

A pair of characters isn't.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Does Captain Toad have like a counterpart?

[E]

Yeah, Captain Toad and Captain Toadet.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Captain Toad.

[Greg Miller]

Lieutenant Toadet.

[E]

I'm pretty sure.

[Tim Gettys]

Toad in his ball sack. I knew that would get Roger. Just dragging along that big old.

[Greg Miller]

Jesus.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Jesus. God damn. Without the. With that, nobody got points for that round. And for the record, the Wii U Metacritic for Captain Toad 81. In case anybody was wondering.

[Tim Gettys]

Good for them.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Round number four. IGN gave this game a 7.8 out of 10 and says the scope is stunning, the customization is satisfying, and the multiplayer touches upon some really. Or the multiplayer touches upon some really ambitious ideas, but the lack of a strong main character or interesting take on the franchise's universe costs it. Costs it momentum and excitement. I can say that one more time?

[Greg Miller]

Please do.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, IGN gave it a 7.8 out of 10 and says the scope is stunning, the customization is satisfying, and the multiplayer touches upon some really ambitious ideas, but the. The lack of a strong main character or interesting take on the franchise's universe costs it momentum and excitement. Tim, I'm sorry.

[Andy Cortez]

There's Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Assassin's Creed. Brotherhood is incorrect.

[E]

I think Etsio Adora is not a. I just.

[Andy Cortez]

I didn't know at Brotherhood. I thought maybe they didn't focus on him enough, you know?

[E]

The multiplayer kicked ass. Good multiplayer.

[Andy Cortez]

How many brothers does he have?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

If nobody has a guess here, Greg.

[Greg Miller]

Halo Reach.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Halo Reach is incorrect.

[Tim Gettys]

Good. That's a good guess.

[Greg Miller]

Great.

[Tim Gettys]

P right there.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Breaks on fire today.

[Greg Miller]

Can't wait to see how I fuck it up. You're gonna have some fucking 78 point question for Andy.

[Tim Gettys]

Hello. ODST.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That is incorrect. We're gonna move on to the next blurb, and before I do, Roger, can you get the whiteboards ready? I forgot about that. You can go seek out the whiteboards. Thank you so much.

[Greg Miller]

Doesn't he have to run the buzzers, though? Oh, they're right there. Okay.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah, they're right there. Our next one is from Polygon, who gave this game a 6.5 out of 10 and says, in the quest to build something that looked and sounded next generation, Ubisoft Montreal failed to fix the problems that have accumulated over so many annual releases. Tim.

[Andy Cortez]

Watch Dogs Legion.

[Greg Miller]

Ah.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Watch Dogs Legion is incorrect. No. Ah.

[E]

Really?

[Greg Miller]

Wow. Wow.

[Tim Gettys]

Assassin's Creed Unity.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Assassin's Creed Unity is the correct answer. There you go. 20 good job points.

[E]

Arno Dorian.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Loser. Dork.

[E]

Protagonist.

[Tim Gettys]

Who is that protagonist?

[Andy Cortez]

I'm on a thorium watch.

[Tim Gettys]

Oxygen was way too new for them to have, like, a point.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But still, it checks all the boxes.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Now, of course, you got to add the second blur up there, which means 20 points. You can double that to 40 points if you can tell Me the exact metacritic of Assassin's Creed Unity on Xbox One.

[Tim Gettys]

Xbox One. 73.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

The correct answer. 72.

[Greg Miller]

Oh.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

So close yet so far. But, Andy, that's not the end. Because that then leads us into our bonus round. Bonus metascore Mayhem.

[Greg Miller]

I'm gonna put go five different.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's my favorite game. Five different games are going to be put on the screen. I provided you each with whiteboards. Actually, Roger did. Thank you so much. Roger, I want you to organize these games from top to bottom based on what you think the meta score is. For every correct spot, you'll get a whopping 20 points.

[Greg Miller]

Fucking hate this fucking show.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

The twist. If any of you get all five games correct, the game ends and we dish out scores as is. However.

[Greg Miller]

So top is the best, bottoms the worst correct.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

However, if no one gets all five correct, I'll tell you each how many games you have in the right positions and give you each one chance to change your answers. I won't tell you which games you have in the right spots, just how many. You have 60 seconds to jot down your answers. Contestants, are you ready?

[Andy Cortez]

Yes.

[Tim Gettys]

Yes.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Barrett, bring up the games.

[Tim Gettys]

Greg, there's no way you can lose this.

[Greg Miller]

Shut up.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

The games are a way out. Dragon's Dogma 2, La Noir, Dishonored, Death of the Outsider, and Dragon Ball Sparking zero Very. You're going to have to keep me honest on time since we can't see the timer, but I got you. You guys got a minute to jot that down again. For those watching and listening, the challenge here is to order these games from highest metacritic to lowest metacritic. Somebody needs to get all of these correct for us to dish out scores. If nobody gets these correct after this first round, I'm going to tell them each how many games they have in the right spots and give them one more chance to correct their wrongs.

[Greg Miller]

15.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

We have 15 seconds left. It looks like Greg has answers done. It looks like Tim has answers done. It looks like. Oh. Andy also has answers done. And so we can cut that short. We don't even need the full 60 seconds. Look at these guys. They're ballers. We're going to start off with Greg Miller.

[Greg Miller]

Okay, so best to worst. I have dragon ball sparking zero at the top. Dragon's Dogma 2 a way out. Louisiana Noir dishonored.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Andy.

[Tim Gettys]

Dishonored at the top. Dragon's Dogda 2. DBZ a way out. LA Noire.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Tim.

[Andy Cortez]

Dragon's Dogma 2, LA Noire a way out. Dragon Ball Z Dishonored.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You Each only have one game in the correct spot. So we're gonna run it back. You're gonna get 60 more seconds to redo your answers for a final shot at redemption. Barrett, if you can put up the games one more time and roll the timer one more time again, the games are a way out. Dragon's Dominant two, La Noire, Dishonored, Death of the Outsider, and Dragon Ball Sparking zero. Each of our contestants here only had one game in the correct spot there. This is a scary one. Usually for this game, there's at least somebody who has a lot of these games in the right spot. So now the game ends up being that they. They had to guess. You have to take swings. Nobody's safe this round.

[E]

30 seconds.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

It's all coming down to this.

[Greg Miller]

That makes sense to you and you'll confirm that? I. I don't know if they're. I'm.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yes.

[Greg Miller]

Moving that one up there.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I've seen what you're doing.

[Greg Miller]

I'm not cheating you.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You have 10 seconds, but it looks like everybody has answers. Done. All right, there we go. We're gonna start off from the opposite side of the table. Tim, what you got for me?

[Andy Cortez]

So I'm Gonna keep Dragon's Dogma 2 at number one, then Dragon Ball, then La Noire, then Dishonored away out at the bottom.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

All right, Andy, what you got for me?

[Tim Gettys]

Dragon ball Z, Dragon's Dogma 2, a way out.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Get up on that mic.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, sorry. Dragon Ball Z at the top. Dragon's Dogma 2, A Way Out, LA Noir, Dishonored.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Greg.

[Greg Miller]

Dragon Ball. I'm sorry. No, no, no, no, no, no. Dragon's Dogma 2 at the top. Dragon Ball sparking zero. Number two, LA Noir, a way out. Dishonored at the bottom.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

You say that one more time.

[Greg Miller]

I sure can.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Greg Miller]

Dragon's Dogma 2 at the top. Sparking zero in number two, LA Noir 3, A Way out for Dishonored at the very bottom.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Barret, if you can bring up the actual answers, the correct answer is here.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, wow.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Starting from the bottom, a way out has a 78. Above that is dragon ball sparking zero at an 81. Above that, it's Dishonored. Death of the outsider at an 82. Above that is Dragon's Dogma 2 at an 86. And the number one game here is La Noire. This is a great game at an89 on Metacritic.

[Tim Gettys]

It was a different time. We were impressed by a lot of things.

[Greg Miller]

Oh, we're tapping the over and over again now. What?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That Means is that Greg got zero correct for that round. Both Andy and Tim got one in the correct spot. So they each get 20 points. Greg doesn't get any more points, but however, I don't believe that matters because. Barrett, what's the final score?

[E]

The final score. It was just not his week this week. Maybe it's all the mind games being played with him, with all the nice things that Greg, his best friend is giving him. It was Tim Gettys for team Orange with only 70 points. Not even getting into Triple Digis in second place. He fought hard this week. He is the most second place man this year. It is Andy Cortez for team Purple with a hundred points. And our winner this week he is Mr. Stars in the bank. It is 1. Greg Miller with T Blue with 10220 points.

[Greg Miller]

I think on this win, Jen might give me the triple dig tonight. You know what I mean?

[Tim Gettys]

I don't.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Whoa.

[Greg Miller]

I'll bend over and she'll hit my prostate with triple digits in my shit.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I fucking walk.

[Greg Miller]

I fucking won. It's been a long drought, but I'm back, baby.

[Tim Gettys]

Your breast smells good. I've been eating ass all day.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Greg, you win the star trophy.

[Greg Miller]

Thank you. I'm excited for that. Do I get a tip of the hat for the bronster?

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

No, you're not good. You're gonna get a tip of something, apparently, but not. Not a bad. Of course, that then brings us to our star standings to catch up on our overall score for the season. Coming into this episode, Greg with team blue had two stars. He just earned his third star for the season. Team purple. Team purple sitting here.

Give me three of Tim's right now. I'm gonna put an astronomy matrix next to my six at Tim's three.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

That's what's happening April 2nd, Team Purple sitting at one star.

[Tim Gettys]

Thank you, Ross.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

And team orange is sitting at six stars. Now remember, Greg indeed is still holding on to the stars on that one.

[Tim Gettys]

Like she could not be Ben star. Come on, Dean.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

If Greg steals Tim's stars with s in a process in a parentheses because apparently gotta figure out that still could mean big changes for the season. But you have to tune in, continue to tune in throughout the season to see how that develops. Contestants, thank you so much for joining me here on game showdown. Remember, Greg has called a shot. Apparently he is redeeming this. Cashing in. He's cashing it in next week. April 2nd, the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. So you'll want to tune in for that. Of course. This has been Game Showdown. Your nerdy trivia show.

[Greg Miller]

Funny. Bless cuz I get to embarrass him in front of our fans and you know, our employees all the time. But now we get to invite Cat Bailey in. You know what I mean? She'll be here for the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal event. Probably a whole bunch of new viewers too. And I'll get to see what a charlatan this man is.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

Fun update for you. I believe we don't have an episode next week. Or the week after, if I'm thinking about this correctly, so be aware of that. Of course. Tune into the Nintendo Direct, barely, for game showdowns and shenanigans.

[Greg Miller]

And also after I win the stars, we can just stop the show if you want. No more Game Showdown. I win.

[Andy Cortez]

We need at least three more episodes.

[Blessing Adeoye Jr.]

I mean, listen, I got the rest of the season playing out in my head. I'm not going to tell you how many episodes there are, but stay tuned because there will be more. That's all you're going to get. We'll be back later with another episode. Until next time, it's been our pleasure to serve.
