9:16 that might Jeopardy? Who doesn't know what Jeopardy is? Uh, I'm here, Tbeck. I'm here. I'm here. Oh, no. Tbeck. Uh, Jeopardy is a series of questions we ask these boys, and they will, well, actually, they'll be given the answers, and they will have to give me the question essentially. I forgot I have to answer get in the form and see why him answers have to be given in the form of a question. Uh you will have a chance if the first person misses the question to answer it yourself at the cost of possibly taking that penalty on yourself as I learned uh last time we did this. If you miss the if yeah if you buzz in and you you get it wrong you lose points. You lose points but the other person can chime in and try to answer at the cost of possibly losing points themselves as well. I would say I most likely lost because of that because I just buzz in on everything. Yeah, if you buzz in I I'm going to call on you if he gets it wrong. Uh let me throw this out real quick too for our audio listeners because we know there's a lot out there. We do have the

10:16 Jeopardy board that will be displayed. So if you want to watch the episode, we we've had video forever people. So we do this, you know, for YouTubers on Spotify. Video is is built into Spotify for all of you that listen there. So, if you want to play along and actually see the Jeopardy board, it will be in the episode as well. Um, you know, Ace will be reading the questions. We'll be giving the answers and all that. So, the audio won't suffer in this case, but this is a good visual. And we do have the Jeopardy board for the people that watch. Yep. And here it is. Uh, maybe not. Did you break it, Ace? He had it working earlier. So, no, wait, I got it. Hey, there it is. All right.

Yeah, it's Jason Duval and Lucia Camino. They're not like married. Had no idea. So, yeah, bro. Get with the times, dude. Stuff, man. Scandalous. Oh, I also I also

32:26 need to do something. You're off my 3000. Oh, Ryan. Ryan. Ryan. I feel I don't If I get every single one wrong and Ryan gets every single one right. You don't even have anything you could bet in the final Jeopardy. No, we have we have double jeopardy. Like, I can make some money. This is true. This is true. All right, so let's go. Let's go back to the big biggest gaming flops for 400. No, cuz we did so well with that category last night. All right, I did well. This troubled openw world game starring a cybernetically enhanced bounty hunter was criticized for bugs and technical problems after its launch in 2025. Josh Ryan got smoked. What is Cyberpunk 2077? That's incorrect. Launch in 2025, bud. What? Oh, what? Ryan, you uh clicked as well. What's your answer? Okay, so

33:26 open world game started cybernetic and hands under for bugs and technical problems after Dang it. I missed the 2025. So did I. I know what this is. I know what this is. Can I Can I Can I get half points if I guess it right now? What is this? A 400 point? Yeah, I'll give you 200 point if we split. No, if we Ryan doesn't If Ryan doesn't have the answer. If I don't have the answer, then you have to split the points. Give me an answer first. No, you have to give me half. No, because you're going to lose. No, that's you don't get you don't just get to like negotiate points, dude. I'm just fine. Lose your 400. Someone to answer the question, Ryan. It's what is mine's eye. Mine's eye is what is mine's eye? That's what I was going to say. Yeah, sure. Oh my gosh. I can't believe I guessed cyber. That was so dumb. Yeah, I did. Gosh, Josh, you're such an idiot. I didn't think that was so stupid that you said that. Like, it was pretty dumb. Oh, sorry. I'm sorry I let everybody down. What did I say about this category? It's going. Uh, this one, you're right. This one is

34:26 not We're not doing very good on this one. Your turn. Biggest gaming flops 500. Oh, back to this category. Okay. I forgot it's not 2026. This 2023 superhero game from Rock Steady disappointed many critics and players with its live service direction, guys. No, no, no. I got this one. What is Kill the Justice League? Yeah. What's the first part? S****** Squad. There you go. Oh, that's Oh, man. What is S****** Squad? Kill the Justice League. I forgot that was from Rock Steady. It is Rock Steady. That's why it was such a disappointment. Yeah, I forgot that was from Rock Steady. All right, guys. My I know I'm winning, but I just want people to know my hands are so sweaty right now. Like, and I know that I basically can't lose, but this is what like I love competition and I'm just like I'm so amped up right now. Like, I feel bad for Ryan. People watch this video. I don't mind it at all. Ryan's face is so defeated.

35:27 You're so like pale right now, right? Just like like he's like this is so much. I brought a brisket and everything. I know. He did, right? I I just donate I donate all the rest of my points. No, don't go through. No, the the problem is is that all the ones that I know the answer to, I never get the buzzer through. So, like it's like 60% that I actually knew and then I couldn't get the buzzer you guys should know. Like, we've gone over everything here at some point. Also, to be fair, I've only missed a couple. So, yeah. And then I got actually the ones I missed I got right after I thought about it for a second and then I was like, "Okay." All right, Ryan, it's your choice. Ryan, where are we going? Oh, well, I don't have very many to choose from. So, I'm going to go indie games 200. I love how we're just not jumping around. We just go straight down. We're not even heathens. Ace, we're not heathens. This October indie game combined survival horror with Metroid Vania exploration and launched on October 1st. Josh.

36:28 Oh, wait a minute. October 1st. Survival horror with Metroid Vania exh. I was going to say I was going to say Belmont's curse and then I saw the date. No, that's like the I know. I know. Uh survival horror with Metroid Van a Everything's a Metroid Vania to Ace is the problem. So I thought Belmont's Curse and then I realized that Ace calls literally everything. Uh what is Silver Pines? No. Dang it. Ryan, you want to give a shot? That was a good guess or No, you didn't buzz, but if you you want to buzz now. Actually, Silver Pines was October 11th. Will I lose points if I try to guess? You will. I'm not going to guess then cuz I don't know. Well, the answer was what is End of Abyss? Ah, that's the one you're playing. It was. Yeah. All right. Uh, not answering anything anymore. 300. This climbing adventure follows a professional cliver Ava as she attempts to scale the imposing Mount Kami. Josh, no. What is K?

37:28 What? You didn't even play it and you don't like it. This is what I told you. I was spamming the the clicks so hard. Spam faster, buddy. This is this this clicker finger was for Ryan. Over 40 years, Ryan. 40 years of clicking. We're going. Yeah. Yeah, we're going four. No, you know what, Ace? We're going five. We're going straight to five. All right. Yeah. In this chaotic sandbox platformer, an overactive rebel causes havoc throughout a town instead of going to sleep. Josh, what is Mr. Sleepy Man? That is correct. What is Mr. Sleepy Man? All right, last one. Ryan, I'll give you bonus points if you can name the developer. Uh, Devin Santi Studios. Yeah. I can't really give you bonus points because I don't have them, but you know. You know what? There you go, Ryan. What? 450. Yeah. All right. Last one. This action

38:29 adventure game stars a tiny mouse warrior and launched in May 2026. Josh, what is Tales of Iron? No. What? Dang it. But how many mouse games does you You buzzed. What? What's your answer? Tiny Mouse Warrior. It's not Tales of Tiny Mouse Warrior. How is this not Tales of Iron? It's a mouse warrior. Oh my gosh. What? Well, what the heck else would it be? Who is May 2026? Mouse PI. No, Ryan. I didn't know it, so I just said it. I just wanted Ryan to lose the Hall. My eyes. My eyes. [screaming] All right. Well, that went away. Uh, guys, I'm negative 850. So, you guys are going to go ahead and you're going to DM me. How many? Even if I Listen, I'm betting everything because I still can't lose and I want people to know that I ain't scared.

39:30 So, all right. If you're betting everything, then I don't have to write it down. That's fine. All right. Well, we don't need the buzzers anymore. You can go. I'm betting everything. Also, you have nothing to bet, Ryan. The IRS is coming for you. That's how that's how far in the hole you are. Don't tell them where I am. Don't tell them. Our category is Overwatch in 2026. Oh. Oh, why do you do that to me? I'm not going to know this. As Overwatch introduced a new wave of heroes in 2026, this support hero joined the roster as a member of the Hashimoto clan, wielding a spirit glaive and struggling between his criminal obligations and his newfound allies. I know the answer. Is this a buzzin? Is this just we wait for the end? Yeah, this is this is dumb because I don't know any of I'm doubling my money. I can tell you this one. All right, go ahead, Josh. Uh, who is Mizaki? That is correct. Yeah. Yeah. It is musicy. Who's the water guy? That's not No, that's not who music. I don't even know. Wait, the water guy. That's Wu Yong,

40:31 Ryan. Wuang. Okay. Yeah. So, listen. I I I know like I know Sigma. That's all I know. Yeah, we know, Ryan. We've been trying to get you to play other people. Well, um that leaves our final score at John. This has to be like the most catastrophic death. This is pretty This is pretty bad, right? This is bad. This is leaves Josh at 6,800 points and our continued reigning champ and Ryan at uh negative 850 points. Ryan, next time, okay, I I think next time we should go kind of like they did in John Wick where you can nominate your champion. You know what I mean? To to be like, "Hey, next time I'm going to message you to play, too." Yeah. I'm going to I'm going to nominate or like you can pick somebody from the community. You can pick somebody from the community to act in your place. You know, I the thing is like I knew like maybe 70% of the questions, but like the ones that I knew I could never

41:33 how many of those flops you guys missed the click. I could never get in the click when I knew it. You know why? And then when I didn't know it, I I would I would be able to get it and then I'd be like, uh, the flops was the thing because every other category was 2026, so my brain was locked in on 2026 and then you were throwing like, I know, I know ways, but I'm just saying that's why. Um, also Ryan, I know that we might have lied to you in the pre-show and told you that there's no punishment for this episode. Uh, what do I get? Lay it on me. But there's no punishment for this episode. It was just what just happened. That that was a punishment enough. That was uh that was publication is all I need. Yeah, this is the part I love. What Ryan is so competitive that like this eats him up. This this eats him up inside that it's like he he hates he such long breaks in between Jeopardy episodes. Yeah. Ryan Ryan has to like recover. It's like I don't No, it's I don't care

42:33 if I win or lose, but like I hate like not being able to like like get the like I I knew the answer and like I didn't get the click and so that like that drives me nuts, dude. Oh man, the ones that I knew. The other ones I there was a lot that I didn't know for sure. I let you buzz in on a couple and you just you you ruined yourself on Yeah, that's those are the ones I didn't know, right? You buzzed in on that one. Didn't even know.
