Rebecca Black Cameo Discussion
00:00:13
Speaker
What's up, everybody? Welcome to episode two, zero, zero games podcast.
00:00:29
Speaker
And here she comes, Rebecca Black. If we were sitting in here and she just popped in these squares, you guys freak out. I did look again just to see how much her cameo page was and it's still $500 and I was like, not worth it. Maybe episode 500.
00:00:53
Speaker
to be able to do it. $500 for Rebecca Black. $500 for Rebecca Black to be like, hey, Brian, it's your birthday. Maybe I need to start a cameo. I don't know.
Episode 200 Introduction
00:01:10
Speaker
All right. So this is episode 200, October the 20th, 2023. We are going to be doing trivia.
New Trivia Game Introduction
00:01:21
Speaker
Today, a brand new game called trivia that I just made up my favorite. Never heard and love it. We're going to do it out. It's been it's been a while since we've done one. Carlos, you've never done one.
00:01:35
Speaker
I'm going to get wrecked. I already got wrecked at ping pong at work because we had a ping pong tournament for our team. I got challenged by somebody and after watching him play, I just knew it was over from the get go. He beat me 21 to 10.
00:01:56
Speaker
I'm ready. Well, maybe this is basically the same thing again. It's the same thing. I can take this abuse. It's OK. I believe that you know you've not done trivia either.
00:02:07
Speaker
I don't think. No, I haven't. This is my first time with you guys. I will say last time you did trivia, I don't know if it was the end of the year or Christmas. I was listening to it and screaming at the podcast because I knew all the answers. Let's go.
Guest Introductions and Backgrounds
00:02:20
Speaker
I'm scared. Because Neil didn't know any names. I'm scared. I probably won't know them today. I just knew like a certain group of them pretty well.
00:02:30
Speaker
I'm pretty sure the next time that I saw each other, he was like, dude, did you not know that blah or something like that? I can't believe that. I don't know. All right. So give him all the Nintendo. We had good conversations. I mean, we could, you know, we kicked Neil off specifically because he didn't know Nintendo questions. You know, we shipped him off to Miami. Hangout was, he thought every answer was Tarkov.
00:02:54
Speaker
Um, no Tarkov questions today. So I'm sorry. Um, okay. On this episode, it's going to take forever. Uh, you can find him at X user eight X behind a non brick wall. We have Matthew on the spot.
00:03:13
Speaker
I think we have decided that there is a brick wall coming back. There's one downstairs. I'm going to set up on that. It used to be where a fireplace was, and that's been taken out and everything. So the brick wall is still there, though. It's just got a couple little mantle things. There's a picture of the pope on it for some reason. You can't keep it. You have to do that. I think Pope's saying. I think he's just here now. He lives here. So yeah, it'll be a good time. I'll have a brick wall soon enough.
00:03:41
Speaker
And then every week you should ship the Pope picture to someone else and we'll stick it on our
Finding Old VHS Tape
00:03:46
Speaker
wall. Oh my god. That's pretty cool. Yeah, that's pretty cool. It was one of those things where we moved in and it was here.
00:03:57
Speaker
Well, I'll do you one better. Well, we moved into this house two years ago. It was pretty much empty, but there was a little porn on VHS tape in this closet back here, all the way up top. They definitely forgot it. And I was just like, all right, Emily, we got our entertainment for a night. We didn't have a VHS player. So we certainly, no one does. Did it have like a title? Like.
00:04:20
Speaker
Oh, I had, I don't remember what it was, but it was like volume three of set titles. So this was, I mean, there's no reason for us to watch it. Cause we don't know the story from the first two. I mean, if it's volume three, that's a classic cause they're probably a volume like 20 now. We don't have the character backstory to actually be able to invest in what we're watching. That's fair. You know, I'm going to go get the Pope picture while y'all are doing the rest of it.
Bollywood Movies and Cultural Experiences
00:04:42
Speaker
All right. Sounds good. Also on this episode, you can find him at raffle on my waffles. We have Carlos on the podcast.
00:04:51
Speaker
Charles, I appreciate you making fun of my culture there. What? That's totally right. That was straight Bollywood. It's a good dance, man. Oh, God. It's a sign of respect. Favorite Bollywood movie. Go.
00:05:15
Speaker
RRR, Netflix, watch it three hours long. Three hours long. It's so good, dude. Watch it. So now we're free, Joe. I haven't seen the movie, but me and Emily watched the trailer and our minds were just blown from the trailer. I can't stand Bollywood movies. That movie is amazing. Straight up.
00:05:32
Speaker
There's something that's just entertaining about just how over the top they are in the edits. I love it. It's, I don't know. I just can't have to dance at each other every film, man. They're dancing at each other.
00:05:50
Speaker
come on. They're great, dude. I might just go down a rabbit hole with Bollywood movies. Cause my roommate, my roommate at my last place, uh, he was born in India. And so about a third of the time that I walked home and there was a movie on, it was a Bollywood movie and it was just always like,
00:06:07
Speaker
never not singing or dancing. Like it's just only singing and dancing every time. So I like your office fans. Yeah, an office fan. There is an Indian version. There is the office. And it's I've I've seen the first three episodes and it's gold purely. Whoa, it's pretty much the exact almost the exact same script.
00:06:30
Speaker
from, like, the American office. They've just made it. They have all the same, like, actors' names and stuff. They keep the names. It is so good. Oh, that's great. There he is. There's poop. Wow. Wait, is that, like, actually signed? No. It's signed by the poop. It's like a quote. It's like a quote of his. I don't know. Yeah, I was like, bro, that don't get signed.
00:06:56
Speaker
I know. If it's fine, put it up on eBay, so you can get four hundred percent. Dude, maybe, you know, for Becca Black ever comes to Boston, go and then get her to sign it. And then you'll have Rebecca Black sign. Also with us on this episode, you can find him at Brown underscore Berserker.
Trivia Game Rules and Start
00:07:18
Speaker
With just just jamming out. We have Andrew with us on the podcast.
00:07:26
Speaker
The ampless electric what's up? Play us the nastiest breakdown you can play right now. It's not is it gonna even pick up? No, I mean if it's nasty enough it will
00:07:48
Speaker
how's it going excellent man excellent got beautiful fall weather up here in the north loving it dude it's loving it wonderful to be back in the 40s and 50s in the mornings like I'm happy
00:08:04
Speaker
What? Oh, I think their weather is a little bit different than our fault. I would say it's 70 degrees right now. It's 60 during the day and like, you know, forty nine at night, 50 at night. Yeah, that sounds so good. I love it, dude. It's so funny is it's not enough for me to wear a jacket like it's still like I'm I'm still walking around t-shirt shorts. Just you just get used to it, huh? Yeah, I hear it, bro. It hits 70 degrees. It's like, yeah, time for a hoodie or something. Yeah.
00:08:34
Speaker
I've adjusted. I mean, I wear hoodies 365 days a year, so I'm not the one to say anything about that. Also with us on the podcast today, I don't have it written down, but I'm pretty sure it's at Grade A Rock everywhere. We have Ivy, the machine. Rose. Also on Twitter, it's just Ivy Roads and on Instagram, it's Ivy Roads also. But I think it's not Grade A Rock.
00:09:06
Speaker
Not R-O-C-K. R-A-W-K. Yeah. The original Rock Nation. I refer to him as king of the thumbnails. King of the thumbnails. Do you have any old grade A rock CDs still floating around? You know, the ones that had like...
00:09:26
Speaker
I remember it was like either red or blue or green little stuff on it. Yeah, I have the Masters somewhere around here. I can tell you where one of them is because your son brought your I took my Dreamcast to the church for the youth to hang out and play Dreamcast games because you got to teach them right, you know, and so Ivy's son brought your whatever little CD case thing and there's one in there.
00:09:53
Speaker
Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I was flipping through it and I was like, Hey. Yeah. The funny part is I don't have a CD player anywhere in my house. Like I can't play a CD. So. Oh wow. Dang.
00:10:05
Speaker
I don't think, I mean, I have the Series X, which is a disk drive. I don't know if they still play music, you know? The PlayStation does not play a CD. I can tell you that. PlayStation 5. Mine doesn't, because it's digital. That's like the most basic functionality. That's insane. Yeah. You got to get those masters on TikTok. That's all I'm going to say, you know? Hey, my 08 Hyundai Sonata sitting at like a million miles still plays them, so. There you go.
00:10:35

Oh, that's a fancy lot for water. I'm still I'm still getting this was from Emily's work. So getting over some sickness, but we'll keep it trucking. Getting down with the sickness. We are doing video game trivia. Let's go for our 200 episode celebration.
Nintendo Trivia and Video Game Characters
00:12:20
Speaker
Now, are there log on games questions sprinkled in here? Yes. Oh, interesting. Oh, boy.
00:12:27
Speaker
Not very many though. One per round, I think. So somebody tell me who wants to go first. So y'all know I'm not cheating. I'm just going down my list. Do you want to do it by your order? My order, I have Carlos in the top left. So it would go Carlos, Andrew, Matthew, Ivy.
00:12:49
Speaker
Sir works for me. All right. So big boy. We have round one. You're going to get this wrong. Well, we have round one. That is that is the easy round. Every question is worth one point in round one. And you're tracking the points, right? I will track the points. OK, everybody is going to get three questions per round.
00:13:11
Speaker
Okay. I think it's how it's going. Around like 10 seconds to Google it or no. No Google. If you Google it or cheat in any way, I will know. Yeah. He'll die. My keyboard is too loud to even try to do that.
00:13:27
Speaker
Um, round two is will be a normal difficulty round, which every question will be worth two points. Round three will be the hard round where everything is worth three points. And then there is a, uh, wager final question where you can wager as many points as you want. I forgot about that last stand. Just got to throw them all out there to hope for something. So it's always pretty much anybody's game unless Andrew just wipes for now.
00:13:56
Speaker
It's easy, normal, and hard questions, but based on me. So if there's a question, like you may have never played Sonic before. There may be a question that I think is super easy. No, it's not multiple choice. And so anyway, I'm the judge of things basically. That's what I'm saying here. So if you have a problem with the question,
00:14:21
Speaker
And I don't, then you just have to point and yell objection. Just so you know, I will be disappointed if at some point during this, you don't on speaker phone call Neil and ask him a Nintendo question. Oh God, that'd be so frigging fun. Do you have any lifelines or phone or friends? Do I have Neil's number? I do. My dog's barking. That means the FedEx guy's here. Oh, Neil Salter.
00:14:50
Speaker
If that's his real name, is that his real name or is that a different deal? It's the Neil that I know and love. We do love that man. One time he fixed my, uh, I had an issue with a brake light on my car while he's calling. You're doing it now. Oh my God. He fixed my car with a penny and some electrical tape. He's not going to answer. I don't think I've ever called him before in my life.
00:15:18
Speaker
Do I hear my dogs too? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, of course. Well, no, Neil, Neil, the deal to tell him Tarkov sucks in the hangout. That's a, that's a long voicemail right there.
00:15:39
Speaker
Um, Neil, this is Andrew. We are live on recording the log on games podcast for 200 episode. Um, you're not here for one. So you're fired for two. You said that you're out of the office October 12th and 13th. And it is October the 19th, which means you were in the office and you didn't answer. I'm going to need your supervisor's information. Uh, as soon as you can give that to me. Um, and, uh, I hope you know, you brought this on yourself. Goodbye.
00:16:09
Speaker
Now we're good, all right. Now we're good. Okay, let me just right now, I gotta see Carlos. Oh my gosh. And then it'll be Andrea, Matthew, Ivy. Okay. Oh yeah, so do we get Lifelines or 200 friends? No, you get nothing. I tried to, I tried.
00:16:32
Speaker
For like the easy round, maybe there's a question that's kind of normal in here. For the normal round, maybe there's a question. I don't want, we might go the whole easy round and everybody gets everything correct. Yes, but it's possible that you don't, you know? So that doesn't mean it's not an easy question.
00:16:47
Speaker
It's all funny. It's OK. No need to be embarrassed. You know, like, OK, it's been a bit of a brain mush day. So yeah, I have no start. We're starting off easy. All right. Question one to Carlos to me. It's a Nintendo question. Who is the protagonist in The Legend of Zelda? Link. That is correct. See, there you go. I did it.
00:17:17
Speaker
I was really hoping you were gonna say Zelda. Part of me kind of wanted to say that, just I know what it would do, but I need a point. That'd be the first TikTok of this episode. That's what it would do. To me, it's the horse that he rides. I'm gonna throw every question and come back in the last round. Andrew, you were up. It's a Nintendo question. Oh, God. What type of Pokemon is Pikachu?
00:17:46
Speaker
Electric? That is correct. Good job, Andrew. The question mark was there. Yeah, dude, I was like... I was like... I was like...
00:18:02
Speaker
It's electrocution. It's the easy round. It's the easy round. All right, Matthew. I just lost half my deodorant. Matthew, what female video game character would eventually be portrayed by Angelina Jolie in a movie?
00:18:19
Speaker
I mean, Tomb Raider, Lara Croft. It's Ted Lasso. The answer is Lara Croft, but you said them both. Never seen one of the movies, only played about 12 minutes, like the first game. The very first game from back in the day? Yeah. You didn't play the remakes?
00:18:37
Speaker
The remakes are good. The remakes are good. I played the first one. I think I watched Andrew play one of the remakes. I know you love it. Growing up and playing that game, it was very... Yeah. It is very unchartedy. Okay, Ivy, you are up. This is probably the hardest, easiest one I got. Oh, shit.
00:19:06
Speaker
What was the logon games game of the year in 2022? 2022 last year. Yeah. Was this the first year we did a game of the year collectively? What was the winner? I'm trying to think this seems like one. This seems like you should give a multiple choice on this. I'm just saying that is a hard one.
00:19:31
Speaker
Man, I don't remember. I'm trying to think even what came out last year. Yeah, I know. I'm with you. What's the game that was made by the Demon's Souls people? What's that game called? What was that game called? Yeah, I know. I'm totally blanking. This is like not the way I thought this question was gonna go at all. I mean, you're on the right path. I think so. I think it's...
00:20:01
Speaker
I mean, someone wants to help him out. Give him the second word. I know. I can see it. I can see it in my head. I just cannot think of the name of the game. Oh, that feels like a that feels like a safe guess to me, but I don't remember. I don't I don't I don't know the name. The name of this round one, the name of the game was Elden Ring.
00:20:27
Speaker
If that is the answer that you were going to say. That is the answer I was going for, yes. That is the game that they made. It is, and that's the crazy thing too. I think because the pandemic played into that, it's like, was that last year or two years ago? It was January, right? Time is so weird. Weird time. I would never have said that because that game wouldn't have crossed my mind.
00:20:50
Speaker
Well, that is the correct answer. As soon as you said it, I was like, oh, yeah, I just can't remember the year that certain games come out. That's the problem. I feel like the last of this part two was the most awarded game until Elden Ring. Wait, so that means which queen was also last
Transition Between Trivia Rounds
00:21:05
Speaker
year? Yes. Oh, my God. I feel like my game of the year last year was Stray, I think. Maybe I can't remember. Could be.
00:21:13
Speaker
I don't know if I said this or not, but so if someone does not know the answer, it's the first hand that I that Carlos would have had it there. Yeah. Now, if you want to you. You can raise your hand whenever you can raise your hand right after I asked the question if you want to. Well, I thought they get 10 seconds. I'm just going to keep my in the air so that there's really no rules. The rules are lenient. It's whatever I want. So please me. Got it. OK. All right. Carlos, you are up. All right.
00:21:44
Speaker
Who created the Metal Gear series? That was Konami. Who the man? Who was the man that created Metal Gear series? The man's name. That guy's name. Mr. Konami. Yeah, Mr. Oh, my God. I can't. Oh, Hideo Kojima. Jesus. That's correct.
00:22:13
Speaker
I didn't know you were going for the name. I thought you had to talk at the company. Yeah, that was that was. Now I lost half my deodorant.
00:22:24
Speaker
Cause I was in the pressure. I'm not wearing deodorant. So that was you, not me. I got his face in my head and I couldn't think of his name. Right. I see a smiling face like with his circle. I think I see his name every day on Twitter. So yeah. All right, Andrew, you were up. You were just in Japan. Yeah, that's true. In super Mario brothers three, what item allows Mario to fly?
00:22:52
Speaker
What's it called? Oh, there's a specific one, too. Is it not the Tanooki suit? Is that it's he flies when you get the Tanooki suit? I don't know if it's called the Tanooki suit and Super Mario Brothers three. It is in new Super Mario Brothers. Which what does it look like?
00:23:18
Speaker
It's the brown suit with the tail. Yeah, but what item? What's the item? It's a feather. That's incorrect. OK. Oh, Ivy think I've got it. Ivy. If the item is a leaf and is a squirrel squirrel suit, I don't know. It's a leaf. The leaf is what the answer we were looking for. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. OK. The brown leaf. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. To be fair, the leaf is the feather of the tree.
00:23:49
Speaker
Yeah, that's the way I put it. You know, it's backwards when I know Hideo Kojima over here. Unfortunately, Hideo Kojima did not. Prior. All right, Matthew, you are up. What is the name of the main character's AI companion in Halo? It's Cortana, right? That is correct. It is Cortana.
00:24:16
Speaker
Yeah, because it was they didn't put it in windows for a while. I'm pretty sure I just nixed it just nixed it. Yeah. Oh, yeah, they killed her just like they killed the series. All right. So that's the game or the TV show? Both. Yes. Yes. Bless my wife, because we were in the parking lot of Publix for some reason.
00:24:42
Speaker
Someone was wearing a Halo the series TV shirt and I always let Emily have it. I was like, let me tell you how terrible. Oh no. All right. Ivy is up. All right. This is another log on games question. Now there's not, there's, there's one log on games question in each round. It goes to Ivy every time. What is the maximum number of players in a battle royale match in Fortnite?
00:25:10
Speaker
Okay. I feel like this is a trick question. The max number of players. Max number of players. See, I believe it's a hundred and that includes you. So there's 99 other players. Is that right? A hundred is the correct answer. Yes. A hundred players. It is a little confusing here. When you look at it, it says 99 players remaining, but you are. Yeah. Yeah. My media thought it was like a hundred. Oh wait, is it 99? That was exactly what I did.
00:25:37
Speaker
Why would they stop at 99? I mean, like 100 is too many and that extra person is going to crash our game. Why stop there? Why not 500? Why not just anarchy? All right. Final questions of round one. Carlos. Mario from the Super Mario Brothers franchise was originally named Jump Man and was created for what game? Donkey Kong.
00:26:07
Speaker
That's correct. That is correct. Thank you. Thank you. Dang. All right. My nose downstairs. Andrew. Yep. Who is Sonic the Hedgehog's sidekick? Tails. That is correct. Good job, Andrew. Nice. Who resembles a tanuki? He can also fly. He can also fly.
00:26:35
Speaker
has a two tails though. So it makes more sense. What is, what is tails? That's not another question. I know, but I kind of really don't. Is it a Fox? I think that's, I was gonna say Fox. Matthew, what console was originally released in 1994 and could play audio CDs?
00:27:01
Speaker
Audios? Is that actually part of your question? That is part of the audio CDs? Yes. 1994? I mean, I would guess PlayStation? That is correct. PlayStation is the correct answer. Boy, when you start going back that far, like what came out when it's a blur. Is that the Japanese release date? Yeah, that's early. That's probably Japanese. I think that's probably.
00:27:29
Speaker
If you didn't say CDs, Japanese company. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, we never had a PlayStation. We didn't have a PlayStation one until after the PS2 was like, yes, correct. We got a PlayStation one to play retro games. Well, technically, like the Sega Mega Drive had played CDs like a CD. I was going to say Sega CD plays. I had a Sega CD. I have a Saturn.
00:27:58
Speaker
Yeah, we did. So it doesn't come out in America until September 9th, 1995, and it comes out in Japan in December of 94. So almost a year early. There you go. There you go. All right. I'm glad you said the audio CD part. Final question of round one goes to Ivy, the machine roads.
00:28:23
Speaker
What new PlayStation 5 video game explores the Harry Potter world in a time long before the books and movies? Hogwarts. What is Hogwarts? Legacy. That is correct. It is. What it is. All right, that is the end of round one. I got a beta invite by the way to the Quidditch game thing they just did, but I didn't do it.
00:28:50
Speaker
All right, at the end of round one, we are sitting at Carlos with three points, Andrew with two points, Matthew with three points, and Ivy the Machine Rhodes with four points. Nice. Damn, bro.
00:29:01
Speaker
You also gave me that Elden Ring point. So if it comes down like one point at the end, you know, we can take that away. I mean, you know, we're going to cut to a commercial. No, just kidding. All right. That kind of money round two. This is the average round. This is our feeling right here.
Video Game History Trivia
00:29:23
Speaker
Two points for each question in this round. OK. Carlos, you are up.
00:29:32
Speaker
What legendary Eagles quarterback is on the cover of Madden 06? What the? Are you serious? Do we look like sports game series? Hey, it's the way the questions fall. 06, 2006, Eagles. I'm passing, bro. I can't even... Really, 06? I think Matthew's hand... Matthew definitely raised his hand first. I'm gonna assume Michael Vick. That is incorrect.
00:29:59
Speaker
It was one of the two. I was going between two. Donovan McNabb is a correct answer. It was one of those two. And I was like, well, Vic's like the Madden dude. Everybody's got to play with Vic.
00:30:12
Speaker
I don't think Eagle's Vic was ever on a Madden cover. I think Falcon's Vic was. I have no idea. Eagle's Vic might have been a 2K cover. Carlos, I'm sorry. That was dirty. This is the round that separates the men from the boys. When I first raised my hand, I was like, oh, it's McNabb. And then I'm like, oh, yeah. I don't play sports games. All right, Andrew, you are up. What's the best selling video game console of all time that sold over 155 million consoles worldwide?
00:30:41
Speaker
Oh fudge. Incorrect. Yeah, I'm going to I'm going to say the PlayStation two. That is correct. It is the PlayStation two. Yeah, that's what I get. Nice. The game's fear. As. Now, radio, I don't know what PS4 is at, but it's creeping in there. Mm hmm. I thought the Wii was advanced it. I think the PS. Oh.
00:31:10
Speaker
We can check. That's units sold. Is that what you're talking about? Yeah. PS2, I think is far and away the most sold. It was a DVD player. Yep, exactly. Oh, dude, I had the system pre-ordered and bought my first DVD at an anime convention, even though I didn't have the PS2 yet because I knew I could use it when I got it. OK, so we're talking about home console here. Yeah, it's 155. PlayStation 4 is next at 117 million.
00:31:41
Speaker
The Wii is at 101. Interesting. The Wii just felt like it was everywhere because you could go to anybody's house, whether they were like young, old, anything. And there was a Wii there. Something Nintendo's always been good with though. It's being a very accessible console to a wide range of people. Okay. Matthew, you were up. What is the highest selling Xbox game? Oh my gosh.
00:32:11
Speaker
Xbox, like original Xbox? Is that the question? Xbox. I'm going to guess Halo 2. That is correct. That's what I was going to say. Yeah. I mean, if it wasn't the right guess, it was a good guess. That's all that's going on. Oh, for sure. Yeah. That game, man, that game changed my life. Never played it. Keeping with the same theme, Ivy, what year was the first Xbox console released? Oh, gosh. That's way harder.
00:32:41
Speaker
jeez okay when did tony mock let's see uh two thousand uh let's see two thousand two thousand and oh between two numbers two thousand and one 2001
00:33:02
Speaker
That's the correct answer. 2000. Take us through your thought process. I think Tony Hawk was. Yeah. That was interesting. Well, because I remembered the first 60 FPS Tony Hawk, I think came out on the original Xbox and that would have had to been around 2001. I think it was Tony Hawk three. I think was it Tony? Yeah. I think it's like Tony Hawk three.
00:33:24
Speaker
No, it's Tony Hawk two. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to call Tony Hawk and ask him. So anyway, I was thinking it was either 2002 or 2001. Yeah. Same. Yeah. It was one of those two years. It was 2001. All right. Carlos, you're up. What handheld gaming system is the best selling of all time? I am going, the best selling as a moose unit sold.
00:33:55
Speaker
Yes. Okay. I'm going to go with the switch. That's incorrect. I knew it. I believe Andrew was first. 3DS. That is incorrect. Jeez. Okay. Ivy. The DS.
00:34:15
Speaker
The DS is correct. I was one of those two men. I was cleaning the house. Dang. The new 3DS. I'm just kidding. The DSi.
00:34:28
Speaker
When they do the DS numbers, they include all of those things. They're including the first ugly one there. The white one. I didn't know that. The light and all of them. Yeah, I didn't know that. That makes a lot more sense. According to Wikipedia, the Nintendo DS said 154 million units. The 3DS is at 75 million units.
00:34:57
Speaker
The switch is at 129 million. So it's coming there. It's getting there. It's very possible that it will make it. Yeah. If you ask this question again next year, then maybe I'll just keep asking it every time I do. It's wrong. Okay. Let me find my spot again.
00:35:23
Speaker
Carlos is up, right? Or what? No, I just lost that one. That was Carlos. Okay. Rip. Oh, I'm in the wrong round. That's why. So Andrew is up. What is the name of the popular purple creature that was a mascot for PlayStation? How popular was he? I don't know. But if you don't get this right, Ivy is about a clean house again. So.
00:35:53
Speaker
Purple Why does my mind have to go to Barney immediately You know the game of the Barney game of the year for that was the collaboration we always wanted but never got you know The name of the popular purple creature that was a mascot for PlayStation
00:36:17
Speaker
I'm a blank, bro. Oh, I've already got it. I know it now. Oh, God. No, I'm at the pass. Yeah, I just. Oh, I view what is the correct answer. It's Spyro the Dragon. It's Spyro the Dragon. Yeah. Frickin Spyro. I was going to say that because it was the only program I could think of. Do not ever remember him being the mascot. If I find a magic lamp, one of my wishes is going to be to erase Barney from my mind. Yeah. What about Spyro? You'll be better for it.
00:36:47
Speaker
Dang it. You know, it's funny. I've never played Spyro. They were fun. Yep. They were fun then. Yep. And then they did the whole like Skylanders thing. You know, they were popping off, you know. Oh my gosh, dude. Come on. Obviously, this is a 200 episode. Normally we would do a normal episode, which we probably talk about Xbox actually finally buying Activision. So maybe Spyro comes back now, you know, as Xbox mascot.
00:37:12
Speaker
I say that we all come next week prepared to list now that Xbox has bought Activision of what we want, what games we want to see them do. Yeah. Matthew's list is just going to be all the Tony Hawk games. It probably is going to start with that. All right, Matthew, you're up in the Elder Scrolls series. What is the name of the continent where all the games take place?
00:37:38
Speaker
Carlos freaking nerd. I'm going to say one of the names that I know. I'm going to say, is it Tamriel? Is that right?
00:37:53
Speaker
Let me tell you why. Let me tell you why I got that. Why? It's it's the online game. That's why I got it. The Elder Scrolls online. Yeah, I think it's like there's like a whole continent or something like that, though. Yeah, there's a Tamriel edition. It comes with like some of the deals. I was going to say Canada. All right. Ivy is up.
00:38:20
Speaker
What is the currency used in the Final Fantasy series? Oh, that's such an easy one. Oh, actually, I don't know if I know this. Why am I blanking on it? It is not US dollars. Yeah, I'm just gonna give a, I know this is the answer, rupees. I don't know what it is. It is not rupees. It's yen. It's yen. They should have their hand up first.
00:38:49
Speaker
I mean, like he's going to say him. I'm going to say me. So it's going to have to be you. Like you're going to write scissors for it. Paper like scissors. Let's go. A rock, paper, scissors, shoe. Yeah. On shoe. Okay. Okay. Rock, paper, scissors, shoe. All right, Andrew. Go ahead. It's just Gil. Yeah. Gil is the correct answer. That's right. The one that kept staying in my head because I played it recently is Missetta from fantasy star online. I was like, that's not it. Oh, wow. That's not it. But I couldn't get it out of my head.
00:39:18
Speaker
It's wild, that game is still going, man. It's impressive. No kicking. 16 is probably gonna be a game of the year. You're starting that out there now. Maybe. Carlos, you're up. All right, give it to me. Last questions for round two. In the Mass Effect trilogy, what is the name of the ship, Captain by Commander Shepard? The Normandy. The Normandy is correct.
00:39:47
Speaker
I would not have gotten it. He's a Trekkie. Of course he'd get that. I've played them all, but I would not have gotten it because I was just as soon as you said it, I was like, Oh yeah, that's it. I just, it would never have popped in my head.
00:39:58
Speaker
You want to hear something crazy? I haven't played. I played some of the first one. I haven't finished the series. Hey, dude, I know. I've only got far enough in each game to know that the ship's called the Normandy and then you stop it. I believe in this cultural reference. It's a game I need to finish. I believe on both Game Pass and the PlayStation catalog, the trilogy remaster. Oh, is it OK? I have Game Pass, so.
00:40:24
Speaker
I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure. Unless I took it off. What was the last one they made? What was it called? Andromeda. Andromeda. Really, really good game. It just didn't work when it came out. But it works now, and it's great.
00:40:37
Speaker
Was it okay? Yeah. Yeah. It came out. It was. It's good. Oh, that's right. Because I remember some like the graphical glitches that look. This is the only praise I've ever heard for that game. I really enjoyed it, but I didn't play it until way later. So they're making another one with shepherd again. So I don't know if it's a remake or what, but Andrew, you are up.
00:40:59
Speaker
What is the log on? What is log on games? Most viewed episode on YouTube that is not a reactions video. So it's a mainline normal podcast. It's not a reaction to anything. It's not a, a state of play or our destiny one or whatever normal episode. What is the most viewed episode on YouTube? That isn't the reaction. Our most viewed thing is a reaction, right? Our like top seven. Yeah, it's the destiny. Yeah, I thought so.
00:41:29
Speaker
This one, I'll give you a slight, slight hint. It's one from this year. And it's the most viewed one so far. It's you and I talking about Destiny.
00:41:44
Speaker
So vague, so freaking vague. Yeah, like, I don't know the title. I don't like we talk about so many random stuff in here. We do. But this this is a this is a special special one. You'll you know it. It's a thing. You know it. It's the thing that happened that everybody talked about. My final answer is Spyro the dragon.
00:42:15
Speaker
Unfortunately, that is incorrect. Do we have any other guesses? Man, just too many topics, man. I feel like I know it. I just can't. Put your mind in. I'll guess one. Give me some. I'll guess it's whatever first episode of the Activision Blizzard acquiring thing is. We'll go with that. No, that's not correct.
00:42:44
Speaker
that episode we've been last year. But that's true, man. Take 20 months for them to buy Activision. Wow. That's crazy. All right. The correct answer, if no one else has guesses, was when we talked when Phil Spencer had the interview right after the red fall game. And it was, Oh, wow. And we talked about the Phil Spencer interview and it's okay. It's got like 300 views or something on YouTube. So.
00:43:12
Speaker
That's the one, that's the one old Philly. But we got reactions with tons of you. Yeah, our reactions are ball and shot calling. All right, Matthew, you are up. Last question of round two. In The Last of Us, what is the name of Ellie's friend who gets infected at the beginning of the game? You should know this.
00:43:34
Speaker
Yeah, he would know it more than anybody here. Again. Matthew would know it. I'm some of the worst. I'm one of the worst people in the world with names in general. I'm not. She was also on this show. No, I know. Yes, she was. I'll meet someone IRL and forget their name in 10 minutes. She had a whole DLC just for her. Yeah, sure did. Sure did. Man. I'm not going to get it.
00:44:04
Speaker
Disappointed I Mean I could tell you like three people's names and from the show or from the anybody else have a guess Sarah No, that's the that's the original daughter
00:44:27
Speaker
Yep. It is Riley Riley correct. Yep. I remember that now. I would never have gotten it though. All right, Ivy last question. Last question around to in borderlands. What is the name of the planet where the game is set? Oh my gosh.
00:44:51
Speaker
I've played both Borderlands 1 and 2. It's not Riley. See, I'm right there with him. I'm right there with him. I'm same. Same. I played all three and I don't know. Carlos. Is it Elysium? No, it is not. That's the purple stuff. That's a good guess though. That's a real good guess. It's also the name of a makeup shop. In real life.
00:45:20
Speaker
Why he knows that he won't have a make me to them all Maybelline. The correct answer is Pandora Pandora. Elysium Pandora. That. Yeah. I was thinking I was thinking Tara something that it was not. I can't. OK. I played those games.
00:45:46
Speaker
Let me calculate. This is just showing me that everyone's honest. No one's jumping on phones or anything. Everyone's just like, man, I really don't know. Oh man. I'm doing a little quick tabulation here. All right. Um, All righty. Carlos is sitting in last place at five points.
00:46:14
Speaker
Andrew sitting in third place at six points. Matthew, second place at seven points. Ivey, the machine, Rhodes, sitting in first at 12. Now, this is round three. These are hard questions. These questions are worth three points. So it is anybody's game. And also we have the wager at the end.
00:46:42
Speaker
where anything, anything can happen. All right. First question of round three, the final round goes to Carlos. Now again, some of these questions are really hard and you're not going to know them. Some of them might be not as hard. So maybe some questions will be answered correctly. Maybe I'll get lucky. So it's just like the other rounds.
00:47:09
Speaker
Yeah, but. All right, Carlos, what video game was promoted in a commercial featuring the song Happy Together by the Turtles? Um, Smash Brothers. That is correct. Yeah. Smash Brothers. Smash 64 to be if we're going all the way there, but yeah.
00:47:35
Speaker
I did not know that at all. I watched a lot of 90s commercials, so I've definitely seen that commercial a couple of times. I will gladly take last place. Got a YouTube playlist. All right, Andrew, you are up. Who is the composer of the iconic Halo theme song? Oh, my God.
00:48:03
Speaker
I know this is wrong. I'm just going to say it. John Williams. It is not John Williams. That would have been also the only name that I would have come up with. Marty McDonald. That's really close. Oh, smarty McFly. He went back in time.
00:48:29
Speaker
All right. I'll tell you the answer and then y'all can tell me if we should give him points or not. The correct answer is Martin O'Donnell. Oh, he said McDonald. Marty. Marty. I heard Marty. It's Martin. Martin O'Donnell. Oh, I guess what he says. I said Marty. I said Marty McDonald. McDonald McDonald. I think I think you give him. Hey, that's it's way closer than we were getting. It's a it's worth a point at least.
00:48:59
Speaker
We'll give him a point. I know like I know he's always referenced as Marty as his first name when people talk about him Yeah, it's just O'Donnell versus Marty. I think makes sense Actually, let me I'm gonna pull up a past episode or a past quiz reference you asked me about Was it the football game? Who was it was John Madden, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah, and I said Joe Matt
00:49:26
Speaker
Hey, I could have been, that's a Mandela factor right there. I said Joe Madam is John Madden. Yeah, yeah. All right, Matthew, you are up. And Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, which character was the last to be added as of September 2021? Ooh, man. Who did they add last? Fire of the Dragon. September 2021.
00:49:54
Speaker
That was the last character they put in period, right? Mm-hmm. You're saying? Very last one. It was one of the most requested ones for years and years. I want to say it's, I want to say I just can't remember. I don't know. I'm going to say Joker. That is incorrect. Andrew. That's a good answer though.
00:50:14
Speaker
It is Sora. I feel like Joker is right before Sora was. No, he was the first one. Oh, was it? You could give me 10 guesses to guess what game Sora is in and I would never have said King. I have no idea. No clue.
00:50:30
Speaker
To be honest, Joker was one of the last. I have not played. No. Yeah. Joker was one of the first two or three. They have like, it was something characters at this point, right? Yeah. They did like the on a plant. Yeah, I thought about Toronto, but I was like, I think Joker's after. I don't know. OK.
00:50:50
Speaker
I have a Europe. He's laughing. Oh, how mean is that? This is this is a log on game and even said he's a log on games question. It was the title of episode 73. Close. What was the first ever log on games episode about? Holy crap. Can you repeat the question, please? What was the first ever log on games episode about?
00:51:16
Speaker
So you can give me the title, you can give me what we talked about, you can give me anything. Which version? Isn't this like the third version? Give them the episode number. The current iteration. This current iteration.
Log On Games Episode Reflection
00:51:29
Speaker
Current. Yeah. 200 episodes ago, I would say. You guys were talking about the possibility of a new Xbox. I don't know.
00:51:42
Speaker
That is incorrect. Anybody else have guesses? That's such a good guess though. I have a guess just because I think it'll be funny. And also I'm not saying that that wasn't the point. I have to go back and listen. It's possible. We talked, we said that, but that's not necessarily what the episode was about. Matthew. Here's my guess just because it still hasn't happened. We were talking about a switch to our switch pro again. I feel like we've talked about it for about that long. Any other guesses?
00:52:11
Speaker
Four years ago, 2019. This would be, I'm not gonna say the year. The answer is, since I found my spot again. The Last of Us. The name of the, what? I'm just throwing something out there before it gets there. Do it. The Doom Animal Crossing.
00:52:42
Speaker
So this was like January 3rd or something, the very first episode in January of 2020. And just the episode was just talking about... Upcoming pandemic. Basically. It looks like the name of the episode was the gaming landscape in 2020, but we talked about basically
00:53:05
Speaker
Xbox, Nintendo, PlayStation, just everything that we... What was 2020 going to bring us? And let me tell you if we weren't wrong on everything we said. Okay, so if he said video games, he would have got it.
00:53:24
Speaker
We were, we were pretty spot on up until about March, you know, when things took a turn and everything. Yeah. An animal crossing. But I was looking back yesterday, there were, there were episodes. One of the, I kid you not, it was like our fourth or fifth episode ever was Nintendo says no new switch model this year. And that was 2020. So it wasn't far off.
00:53:49
Speaker
It's happening next year. And then in the rest of it was like Sony backs out of E3, another Xbox backs out of E3, blah, blah, blah. And then Covid happened and then there was just a digital summer game fest. And yeah, it was it was quite the year. It was right here to start. You know, what a time it feels like forever ago. Yeah. And then every episode we talked about how delayed games were. Yeah. And this game is delayed and this game is delayed. Great.
00:54:18
Speaker
Fun fact of the day, we technically have 201 episodes, but I deleted one episode because it was just me ranting about how much I hate GameStop for like 35 minutes. And I was like, you know what? The world doesn't need this. And I took it down. It was when it came out that GameStop makes all their employees work on Thanksgiving day and Christmas day and stuff like that. And all the GameStop employees were like, we don't want to. And they're like, we don't care.
00:54:47
Speaker
And so I don't know if you remember that or not. That was it. All right. Interesting. No more log on games questions. Oh. That I know about. Now it's going to get easy. Yeah. Carlos, you were up. All right. What's the name of the town in Animal Crossing New Horizons?
00:55:07
Speaker
Oh, God, my wife plays this game. I have like 130 in and I don't remember. It is. Oh, my God. Sweetheart, I'm so sorry that I forgot this. We get to name your own, right? No, because you're like a resident, like moving into this place. Oh, no. Dang, man.
00:55:43
Speaker
I'm going out to pass. Matthew. I'm just taking a guess. His name is everywhere. We're called like Nookville. That is not. That's what I was going to say. Like word for word. That's that sounds like a legitimate answer. I would have. His name is everywhere. OK. Anybody else have. He is the Elon Musk of Animal Crossing. Oh, my gosh.
00:56:09
Speaker
Alright, well, Matthew, you could have just said your first guess and you would have been right. It's customizable, you can make it whatever you want. That's the correct answer. What? Oh no! That's dirty! That's a trick question. That is dirty! Well, so that it could be real.
00:56:26
Speaker
Yeah, so what I knew that I knew that but I thought that you there was like a default name Actually when you ask the question I was thinking to myself I don't remember there being a name
00:56:40
Speaker
No, you always name it. I know that, but I just, I was thinking that maybe there's like a default name. I mean, technically it could be, it could be Nookville, but that's not an answer I was looking for. Yeah. Okay. I do remember now because she did name. Okay. Yeah. She named it Nookville.
00:57:01
Speaker
All right, Andrew, your second question of round three. What was the first game in the Metroid series where Samus could freely aim in all directions? Metroid Prime. That is incorrect. Carlos. Fuck. Well, I'm sorry. Sorry. That was that was my that was my. His confidence was shattered. It was shattered.
00:57:30
Speaker
I think it's Super Metroid. Super Metroid is the correct answer. I was thinking like 3D aim in all directions, not like. Yeah, see, I wasn't thinking just. Well, yeah, yeah. I was thinking maybe it was the Wii version though, because you had the Wii Remote and you could actually aim everywhere. But then. That was the one that was on the GameCube, right?
00:57:58
Speaker
Super Metroid. No, it's Prime. Prime was GameCube. That's why we keep. Okay, that's the one that comes in mind. Amazon Prime. Okay. Matthew's up, right? Matthew, who are the two main characters in The Wolf Among Us?
00:58:21
Speaker
Oh, fudge. That is a I played a beat in that too, man. That game has. I will accept one.
00:58:29
Speaker
if you know one of them. That game has spent years on my downloaded PlayStation 5, but I have not opened it yet. The sequel will come in at some point, maybe. It's the Wolf, the werewolf guy. That's his last name. I need the whole name.
00:58:52
Speaker
I don't know. But it doesn't really matter because I couldn't tell you who the other one is. I mean, no, I don't have a guess. Anybody else have any guesses? No. But that was good. You sound like you got part of it, at least. Well, I know the main character guy. I just don't have a clue who the other one would be. Ivy in one of them, I don't know, is like a toad, frog or toad or something like that.
00:59:13
Speaker
No, that is incorrect. His name is Bigby Wolf. The other main character is Snow White. What? Snow White. I knew she was in it. I didn't think she was in it. Let's say if you knew what the game was about and you got all these fairy tale characters in there. I didn't think she was a main character. I thought it was more like a... She's one of the main characters. She's like the other detective person. Interesting. Gotcha. I knew she was in it. I didn't know she was main.
00:59:37
Speaker
You know, as you go in there and trying to figure out what little mermaids up to, you know. All right. The club is up. What is the name of the indie game in which you control a hole in the ground? The indie game, you control a pole in the ground hole, a hole, a hole, a hole.
01:00:04
Speaker
Control a hole in the ground. A hole. I know it. I don't know the name. Portal. I don't know. Portal. That's incorrect. Anybody else have an answer? Andrew.
01:00:19
Speaker
Is it Donut County? It is Donut County. Wow. Wow. I've never heard of that before. Yeah. I remember seeing it. I would never remember the name of it, though. I know that county. Yeah. Goat Simulator. You move the whole around like you do. Yeah, you do. Oh, OK. One, two. Is this right?
01:00:47
Speaker
What's going on? Did I skip somebody? No, we have an extra question, remember? We're doing a wager thing. Yeah, I think so. Was the last one Ivy's? Yeah.
01:01:07
Speaker
I think I messed up at some point. His troubled face. I think no, I think I skipped. How many tough are the three tough questions per person? Yes. OK, I've answered. There was the so we had Halo Halo. And I'm sorry, we had the commercial Smash Brothers.
01:01:33
Speaker
We had Halo theme song. Matthew had Sora, missed it. I've had gaming landscape, Animal Crossing. Super Metroid, big me. No, that's right. I guess I just have extra questions. Okay, that's fine. That's fine. I have an extra question here. Carlos, you are up. What is the first dual type Pokemon in the national Pokedex? The first Pokemon that has two types.
01:02:03
Speaker
Also known as dual type in the Pokedex. Oh my gosh. I'm asking me, uh, I'm going to, I literally just beat blue this last week. I'm not going to, you should know it. I should. Steelix. Steelix is incorrect. That's a tough one. That's a good one. It is a good one.
01:02:27
Speaker
I've only played up to second gen and then I played like some of sword and shield and that's my, there's a huge gap in my Pokemon like knowledge. Anybody else have any guesses? Matthew. I don't think it's right. I'll say Gyarados. That is incorrect. Any other guesses? Spyro. That is correct.
01:02:54
Speaker
That's the title of this episode. Ivy any guesses? No guesses. This is another one my wife would know too. The correct answer is Bulbasaur, you fools. Poison and grass. Poison and grass. What? I always forget he's poison because I never use the poison thing. Hold on, but since when? Because in the first gen, he was classified under a grass Pokemon.
01:03:20
Speaker
He was also a poison. In the Pokemon, like red, blue, Pokedex? Luckily, that's who I picked and played the game through with. Yeah, that's who I go with, too. Yeah, he's grasping poison. He ran through a vial of toxic ooze in the sewer. And if it wasn't him, it would have been Charizard because Charizard is fire and flying.
01:03:42
Speaker
them y'all were just y'all were going too far down the list wait we were we were it all just right and way down the line you know and drew crazy taxi yep final question of round three okay which game mode was initially launched with fortnight
01:04:02
Speaker
Oh, it's the PvE end of the world thing. What's the name of it? That's the question. I bought the game when this was the only mode available. I played it before the PvP. Yeah, same. Spire the dragon. Yeah, I thought.
01:04:27
Speaker
I don't know. I thought it was something into the world, but okay. Close, but no cigar. Matthew. I could save the world. Save the world is the correct answer. Dang. I like that mode. We're not, we're not ending the world. You got two words, right? Yeah. I thought you were going to get there. Okay. Matthew, you are up.
01:04:54
Speaker
I need three out of five of these. Okay. All the points. But what are, what are the three top selling video game franchises of all time? Very similar to the question you had last time. Oh, he's calling you possible. I'll say franchise is call of duty. I need three out of five. I'll say Madden. Those are great guesses. And I'll say,
01:05:23
Speaker
Final Fantasy. That is incorrect. Anybody else got guesses? They got to be like really high up there though. All of them. I'm going to say Mario Brothers. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm supposed to raise my hand. Mario Brothers, Assassin's Creed and GTA. That's incorrect. Andrew.
01:05:54
Speaker
You're not saying. I'm not saying none of these are correct. I'm saying three. I was about to say. OK, so Call of Duty, Mario and FIFA. Incorrect. I might as well.
01:06:09
Speaker
Laying on me say destiny. Come on. Let's go bro of all time top selling franchises Three of the top five I'm going to say Final Fantasy
01:06:29
Speaker
That is incorrect. All right. If I would have done Mario instead of Final Fantasy, would I got it? I don't know. I don't remember what you said. I had Madden Madden. No, that's incorrect. The top five in order are Mario, Pokemon, GTA, Call of Duty and Tetris. I almost said Pokemon. I forgot about GTA. When you started talking, the first thing I was Tetris and I was like, oh, he said franchises. I know it's like the most sold game ever. Well, there's more than one Tetris.
01:06:58
Speaker
There is but I agree. I'm just saying I didn't realize that they all sold like that one did. FIFA I think was like six or seven on the list though. I don't think anywhere else. Wow. That surprises me. Madden just been around forever. Oh, righty. We are on Ivy, right? This is the last question. Last question of round three.
01:07:26
Speaker
What game was originally going to be a turn-based strategy game but became an action RPG? Well, there's a lot of those. Yeah, that's what I'm like. I assume you're talking like super famous. What was originally going to be a turn-based strategy game? Yeah, famously known, I would say.
01:07:45
Speaker
Okay. Originally going to be a strategy game, but became an action adventure. Action RPG. Action RPG. That is going to be mass effect. No idea. That is incorrect, Matthew. That's like Final Fantasy, because they started out that way and then changed. That is incorrect. God, dude. Final Fantasy what? Because it would have been turn based in the beginning. Let's see.
01:08:15
Speaker
That's what I'm saying, like the franchise started out turn based and then turned into. Which is why I stopped playing them. Just saying. Can you read the question one more time? What game was originally going to be a turn based strategy game, but became an action RPG?
01:08:47
Speaker
I'm going to say Demon's Souls. Oh, that's incorrect. Andrew, you got a guess? Elder Scrolls. I thought you were going to say Spyro. No. Correct answer is Diablo.
01:09:03
Speaker
The R. Oh, that makes sense. That does make sense, though. They still got the menus and everything. It was very RPG style like D&D style. OK, we have made action and kept the menus. The final wager question, which let me give me. Let me get you guys point tally it up, bro. Yeah, tally it up. Point totes. Point totes. Point totes.
01:09:34
Speaker
OK. Carlos, you have nine points. Nine. Andrew, you have 12 points. You can wager. Matthew, you have 10 points. You can wager. And I have you have 15. Oh, geez. You can wager. Pretty close. So. I need you. What is it? I need you all to text me your
01:10:05
Speaker
Wager number. Should we do it before or after I read the question? I think we have to do it before. Give us a category and then we'll give you the wager.
01:10:19
Speaker
Do the Jeopardy style. Do we miss category is the category is is. Yeah, you can message him on Discord. It's really hard for me to give you a category. OK, I'm just going to the category is all time video games. OK, I get there. Oh, no. Uh.
01:10:47
Speaker
Seeing these wager comes in is a good time. I was literally thinking the same. Carlos, did you message me? Check. Okay, I got it. Okay. The question is,
01:11:15
Speaker
How many? Hang on one second. Are we raising our hands? How's this working? No. So it's a number. It's a number game. Okay. So you're gonna give me a number. So the closest wins. Okay. So let's do this. Let's do this. Whatever it is. We have a little chat in there in here.
01:11:36
Speaker
We can all type it in there, but then we don't press enter until Anderson. We'll do a one, two, three, and then you can hit enter. Okay. Close out this window. This is all time, all time video games. Okay. How many games have a Metacritic score of 97 or higher? Oh my God. How many, how many games?
01:12:04
Speaker
out of all the games, have a Metacritic score of 97 or higher. What? That's ridiculous. If you're listening, you're not familiar with Metacritic. Question. When a game is reviewed by an outlet, it goes, and Metacritic accumulates all of the scores from all the reviews and assigns it an average number. So basically, out of everybody that reviewed a certain video game,
01:12:34
Speaker
What games average to be 97 or higher? I do have a question. Is this only original games like remakes and stuff don't count remasters that kind of deal? How many games have a Metacritic score? I don't think that helps. I'm trying to think of the time span of how long Metacritic has been a thing for.
01:12:56
Speaker
Well, these are, I mean, it's everything. Like if somebody, like if IGN decided that they were going to update their review of the original Mario brothers, it would count towards the score. So I wonder what the hell, I wonder what Palm is. The new outlet comes out that like blows up. Like it would also count towards the score of old games and stuff too. If they reviewed it. Is this a closest to closest to without going over closest?
01:13:24
Speaker
Just in general, just close. Yeah. If we have a tie, I have tiebreaker questions. So cool. All right. I have my answer. I'm ready. Same. I'm good. All right. Is everybody ready to hit enter? I am. Yep. Three, two, one. Let me have it. All right.
01:13:48
Speaker
Andrew says, Andrew says 50. He said all time. All time. A meta critic rating. All time. Matthew says 21. Carlos says
Trivia Game Continuation
01:14:02
Speaker
six. Ivy says five. Correct answer.
01:14:08
Speaker
will be awarded to Matthew. The answer is 17. There you go. I thought I was going to say 12 originally. I'm between 12 or 50. I did. I went 12 to 50.
01:14:27
Speaker
All right. I will go really, really quickly and name these games off. Name them. Oh, I'm going to go from 17 all the way up to one. There's a lot of 97. So the 97s we have Red Dead Redemption to Super Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, Disco Elysium, Super Mario Galaxy to Halo Combat Evolved. Perfect Dark from 2000. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 NFL 2K1 Grand Theft Auto 3 Metroid Prime.
01:14:57
Speaker
Grand Theft Auto 5, Super Mario, Galaxy, those are all the 97s. And then we have 398s, which is Soul Calibur for the Dreamcast, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, and Grand Theft Auto 4, and then 199 overall. The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time. Nice. Wow. Nice. There you go. Still the best game in my opinion. Wager-wise,
01:15:25
Speaker
Let me let me tabulate. Oh, no, this is bad. I need you to tell me. This is not good. This is not good. Oh, my God. You know, I was already in last place, so I was like, yellow. What? What? What? No, that's fair. Yeah, that's all I would have. I would have. OK. You wait till Andrew tells you what I texted him. Oh, gosh. In last place with three points.
01:15:54
Speaker
We have Carlos. Who wagered six points out of his nine. That's how we got to three. Noise. Yep. Yep. I knew what I was getting myself into. In third place with 12 points.
01:16:11
Speaker
We have Andrew, who wagered no points. He wagered zero. Oh my God. I do that every time I was wagered. Second place has 15 points. Second place has 15 points. First place has 20 points. In second place, we have Ivy Rhodes, who also wagered zero points. And then my text message from Matthew.
01:16:36
Speaker
of how many points he was going to wager simply says, all of my beans. That's correct. That's correct. He wagered all the beans. He had 10 points. So that puts him at 20. Matthew is our 200 episode trivia winner. Nice. That's a very video game kazoo song.
01:17:00
Speaker
Um, we did it. We're here. Um, that twas fun. I will love it. Love it.

Speaker
Neil is dead, apparently. But maybe we'll get some old school people on before or again, and we'll do it up again. But we want to thank everybody for listening. Any final thoughts from you guys before we end this podcast out? More games.
01:18:11
Speaker
More games, Spider-Man. If we do another trivia episode, I'm going to tell you right now, Ivy, I don't remember any of the questions that I did the first two times. And I'm not going to remember any of the questions that I have this time either, so it's possible. When I was going through the questions last night, I would read some of them and I'd be like, probably already put that down. I don't know for sure, but I probably did.
01:18:38
Speaker
No, you mixed it up with the franchise. You said last time it was like, what are the five best selling games of all time? You mixed up with the franchise, which is really tricky. Well, maybe you guys freaking get it one of these times. One of these days. No. All right. We want to thank everybody for listening and getting new episodes uploaded every Friday. Next Friday, we'll probably talk about the Xbox acquisition and anything else crazy, if anything else crazy that happens. And maybe we'll do some Spider-Man talk and...
01:19:07
Speaker
All sorts of stuff. It is spooky season. So we got some spooky games coming out, but that's going to do it for us here. We will be with you all again next.
