Speaker 2: two bucks a pop is what these are if you
Speaker 2: just buy them out at least by McDonald's.

Speaker 4: Well, I'm just being don chetle in chat says that
Speaker 4: the McDonald's fries are They use beef tallow to fry
Speaker 4: the fries at McDonald's, so apparently I can't have fries
Speaker 4: at McDonald's either.
Speaker 3: I don't remember the last time I ate a McDonald's,
Speaker 3: so damn.
Speaker 1: I also put the apple slices in bacon Greece, So yeah,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: What rip my relationship with McDonald's.
Speaker 1: I guess Uh, Sean's right, it's if you like, I
Speaker 1: have kids, so I'll just end up going there. That's fine.
Speaker 1: The smartert thing. Just buy these things, you know, I'll
Speaker 1: la carte. That's way better.
Speaker 2: They want to like two at a times. Just go
Speaker 2: like once a week, say hey, do you guys sell
Speaker 2: them individually? And if yours does, because you were.
Speaker 1: Going to like debay or something and from.
Speaker 3: Them at McDonald's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just walk in and you know, I get
Speaker 2: my large iced coffee and then two of these things
Speaker 2: for two bucks a pop and I walk out.
Speaker 1: Geez Okay, I mean of course they account for that.
Speaker 2: I'm glad that you can tell because they have a
Speaker 2: stack of Happy Meal boxes because like they pre like
Speaker 2: put the toys in the boxes, and the stack of
Speaker 2: boxes from like all the adults like me.
Speaker 1: Who just.
Speaker 5: Wait, did you get a box?
Speaker 2: No? And I need to get the box because it's
Speaker 2: got like you's face on.
Speaker 3: That's so funny that it's Sanrio and yu Gi.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: It's such a weird combination, but you know it works again.
Speaker 2: You know, Cimmaro looks adorable here going doing a little
Speaker 2: raw face you.
Speaker 1: Know I got.
Speaker 3: In Japan.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just they're classy.
Speaker 4: They just have cinemarle Like they're those socks that all
Speaker 4: the gen zs where the ones that like cover your ankles,
Speaker 4: but they're not like tall crew socks. They just like
Speaker 4: go up over your ankle bone, which I do like
Speaker 4: to wear with sneakers because I feel like a lot
Speaker 4: of my sneakers naturally give me like blisters in that area.
Speaker 3: So those socks really solve that problem for me.
Speaker 4: And yeah, there's just cinemal little little embroidery of cinerole
Speaker 4: on that part of the sock. I got it at
Speaker 4: g U, which is Uniclose sister brand. I believe they're
Speaker 4: opening one in New York, so we'll start seeing them
Speaker 4: in LA and the like.
Speaker 1: Soon you were inchpan, you had, you had some stuff
Speaker 1: you want to show off right after this. Yeah, But
Speaker 1: I did discover recently that gen Z people do have
Speaker 1: opinions about socks.
Speaker 2: They're bad opinions, Jeff.
Speaker 1: It's weird. I think having any opinions about socks is
Speaker 1: like you got to get some real problems. But I've
Speaker 1: discovered I have the wrong socks. I believe I have
Speaker 1: many nose shows and like ankle.
Speaker 3: Socks and shows are not they're not any washing.
Speaker 1: They want longer socks, but that you don't wear them
Speaker 1: all the way up, you let them bunch up at
Speaker 1: the ankle. Is that correct?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 4: And also the kind of socks I was just describing,
Speaker 4: which like they go over your ankle, but they're not
Speaker 4: crew socks, so effectively they're like at the height that
Speaker 4: you would scrunch your crew socks.
Speaker 1: To okay, okay, all right, So you could do this
Speaker 1: to scrunch the crew or just have it go up
Speaker 1: to that point and no further and no no less, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, Hey, well I'm not going to do any
Speaker 1: of that because I know by the time I do it,
Speaker 1: I'll change your mind. But hey, fair enough, I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure they wouldn't look great with my cargo shorts anyhow,
Speaker 1: So who know, all right?
Speaker 4: You in though, like there's car pants.
Speaker 1: Who is the lady that was wearing the cargo pants?
Speaker 1: What was that was? Opening Night Live? She had the
Speaker 1: cargo pants that looked great. That was pretty excellent. Emma,
Speaker 1: you went to tin you got some you got some goodies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I understand. It's like you had like your it got
Speaker 1: delayed and you're like, we're going to get even more
Speaker 1: stuff at that suitcases. We're stuck, I know.
Speaker 4: But so this I have to admit one of the
Speaker 4: things I'm going to show off is one of the
Speaker 4: even more stuffs that we got. Because so we we
Speaker 4: stayed in Swutobashi.
Speaker 3: For most of the time that we were like in
Speaker 3: Tokyo proper.
Speaker 4: We were out in Hakone for a while, having a
Speaker 4: beautiful nature, hot Springs Adventure.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: And also we got to go on this cool like
Speaker 4: ropeway car, which totally validates my opinion that we should
Speaker 4: have that as a means of public transportation over the
Speaker 4: canyons in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: So get on that LA infrastructure.
Speaker 4: But we had we hadn't gone to the book Off
Speaker 4: in Akihaber yet, so if you don't know a.
Speaker 3: Book Off is, it's this big chain in Japan.
Speaker 4: It's a big like reseller of video games and books
Speaker 4: and all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 3: And when we were at the book Off, we did.
Speaker 4: Find a Super Mario kart for super Famicom, so we
Speaker 4: bought that because we thought that was and also like
Speaker 4: it's pretty beat up, so it was really inexpensive, like
Speaker 4: I think it was maybe fifteen dollars.
Speaker 3: So that was that was a cool acquisition.
Speaker 4: I was very happy because the last time I was
Speaker 4: at Super Potato and Achia Harboro, they didn't have this,
Speaker 4: but this time they did have the really cute pink
Speaker 4: Famicom cartridges of Super Mario USA. Yeah that is they
Speaker 4: did have an inbox the last time I was there,
Speaker 4: but that was expensive and I'm.
Speaker 3: Not like really a video game collector.
Speaker 4: I just like to collect cartridges and boxes that I
Speaker 4: think are cool and our games that I liked, like
Speaker 4: for example, this very fun uh super Smash Brothers sixty four,
Speaker 4: really cute.
Speaker 3: Art on it.
Speaker 4: I want to say, you spent maybe like nine hundred
Speaker 4: yen on this, It was like nothing if you don't know,
Speaker 4: like right now, the dollar is really really strong compared
Speaker 4: to the end, so everything in Japan is so so affordable.
Speaker 4: But then the my big purchases is actually for Gabe
Speaker 4: is a Super.
Speaker 3: Mario World in box.
Speaker 4: I'm present from you know, our time at Super.
Speaker 2: Potato and looks like, yeah, that one's.
Speaker 3: In pretty good shape.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I was just wondering, uh, I kind of randomly.
Speaker 1: It was a shower thought of like I have like
Speaker 1: Google Translate now, and I can like point it at
Speaker 1: at like signs and it will translate for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Does that make like playing Japanese games that I mean
Speaker 1: obviously like it's an action game something really quick, that'd
Speaker 1: be difficult. But if I was like to play an RPG,
Speaker 1: would be able to translate it enough to understand what's
Speaker 1: going on.
Speaker 4: I mean, like my men, I was gonna say, if
Speaker 4: it's a if it's a really like menu based game,
Speaker 4: then sure, yeah, you could definitely do it for the menus.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that would be a great way of play RPGs.
Speaker 2: I would say, though, great way to play it would
Speaker 2: say the exact opposite. Actually, if something that doesn't have
Speaker 2: a ton of text but has like Japanese measures, yeah,
Speaker 2: I've done that. Actually that's a yeah, you can easily
Speaker 2: get through uh through there.
Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah. I was like, I could just point this
Speaker 1: at the screen and it'll just translate that sign for me.
Speaker 1: So yeah, of course it would work. Okay, very cool.
Speaker 1: So back from Japan, what do you miss the most
Speaker 1: about being there? Was the food? Uh, the you know,
Speaker 1: the vibes, what I mean, make it a face public.
Speaker 1: That is such a good answer, honest answer.
Speaker 4: Their train system in Tokyo is like, I don't think
Speaker 4: there's a better system of public transportation on the planet.
Speaker 3: The trains come like every two minutes I got to train.
Speaker 3: You're yeah, okay, but.
Speaker 4: It's ten minutes between every single train, and so if
Speaker 4: you have to transfer and you miss it at a
Speaker 4: time like good luck, it's going to add an hour
Speaker 4: to your journey.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like that's that's the problem. Is that just like
Speaker 4: the train system in Japan is just.
Speaker 3: It's so good.
Speaker 4: And then I miss convenience stores. You know, Japanese convenience
Speaker 4: stores are the best?
Speaker 1: Do you are you? I'm getting my hopes up because
Speaker 1: that seven eleven says they're going to try to make
Speaker 1: you I mean hearing more like the Japanese ones. I'm
Speaker 1: getting my hopes up. I hope they succeed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really really hope.
Speaker 1: So yes, fingers crossed. That's right?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, into the week, I won't want to
Speaker 1: just do a quick check in with everybody. Anyone else
Speaker 1: have anything else before we do our draft? Or should
Speaker 1: we just get into it? All right?
Speaker 5: I've never played a video game before.
Speaker 1: Well I don't think that's going to hurt you here.
Speaker 6: Well, no, it's like not even not even like attached
Speaker 6: to this specific task.
Speaker 3: I just realized you've never played it.
Speaker 6: I just don't think I know what these things are,
Speaker 6: and that's hard for me because you guys keep talking
Speaker 6: about them and I just don't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I probably should just shut up here at some point,
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, talk about something else. I mean, hey,
Speaker 1: football is almost back. We're really close to that.
Speaker 2: Oh god, we need to pivot away from.
Speaker 5: That almost baby. The NWSL season starts today.
Speaker 1: Everybody's back.
Speaker 5: Everyone's back from the Olympics. Sports are happening.
Speaker 1: Sports are back.
Speaker 2: Jeff, you ever heard about this thing called Pokemon by
Speaker 2: any chance?
Speaker 1: I mean Pokemon?
Speaker 2: Yeah, as you incorrect because you're white, you've heard of it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: World Championships happened over the weekend. I just want a
Speaker 2: year and that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2: They announced the next two back to back in California,
Speaker 2: and I'm in San Francisco, so I'll be there. There
Speaker 2: you go, You're gonna be there. There, Jan's gonna be there.
Speaker 2: We're all gonna go out. They find some nasty boys
Speaker 2: and hang out. Some Pokemon.
Speaker 5: Win the World.
Speaker 2: You're gonna win World.
Speaker 1: So what's stopping you is it wasn't in your town.
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. Nikky knows that they changed it. So
Speaker 2: you have to be like top one twenty eight in
Speaker 2: the world in order to qualify for World. So it's
Speaker 2: very impressive that you're going to go all around the
Speaker 2: globe to all these different events to be the best
Speaker 2: you can be playing the World.
Speaker 4: Championship, Pokemon, the card game, correct, all of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they have different you know, basically divisions. I
Speaker 2: guess you would say for the car game, the video game,
Speaker 2: and then the side games like going Unite.
Speaker 6: I was gonna ask if there's Unite because Telly this
Speaker 6: morning was talking about how everyone who plays Unite is nine, correct,
Speaker 6: So like, do I get slotted into the nine year
Speaker 6: old's bracket?
Speaker 1: They bracket?
Speaker 5: I was gonna.
Speaker 2: Higher bracket than yeah, to see a nine year old
Speaker 2: kick it is junior, seniors, and masters. It's roughly like
Speaker 2: what up to like twelve, and that's like thirteen.
Speaker 1: Senior league, like actual senior league, like not senior, but
Speaker 1: like senior. I'm older and forty like me, you'd.
Speaker 2: Be masters of me, so I could kick your ass.
Speaker 1: Damn it.
Speaker 5: They should add person's Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. We have a couple of competitive sports
Speaker 2: people on the show today. I thought I would ask
Speaker 2: you about something that happened during Worlds. Okay, so it
Speaker 2: was in during the tcg uh in a top eight match.
Speaker 2: So this is on stream, you know, like very big match,
Speaker 2: like tens of thousands of dollars on the line, is
Speaker 2: very important, and so this guy defeats the other guy
Speaker 2: he's playing against and two to oh. It kind of
Speaker 2: wasn't even close. After he wins, he like does a
Speaker 2: jerk off motion into the camera. Oops, because he's like
Speaker 2: twenty and is a come an idiot. After that, they
Speaker 2: do a winners interview, they're like, yeah, dude's moving on
Speaker 2: to top four and anything like that, And after really
Speaker 2: come back from sort of like a commercial break, they're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: actually that guy won't be moving on to top four.
Speaker 2: So what they did, what they did, and this is
Speaker 2: where it gets interesting. Obviously you need punishment for doing that,
Speaker 2: for doing like an obscene gesture friendly event at a
Speaker 2: family friendly event, yeah, sporting event.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what they did was instead of like giving him
Speaker 2: a fine, instead of even disqualifying him. Know what they did,
Speaker 2: they killed I can't do that anymore, Big, you ain't
Speaker 2: having this anymore. It said they reversed the match that
Speaker 2: just happened, so the official record shows that he got
Speaker 2: too ode instead of.
Speaker 3: Interesting.
Speaker 2: So this other guy then moves on to Top four
Speaker 2: and Top two and top one. He wins the World
Speaker 2: Champions changed. That changed history. Yeah, he goes on to
Speaker 2: win the whole thing, So sore, Like, that's a weird
Speaker 2: situation to get eliminated for the tournament. And then win
Speaker 2: the whole thing. I was just wondering how you feel
Speaker 2: about this whole like basically rewriting.
Speaker 1: It's an asterisk, right, I would put an asterisk on it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it.
Speaker 6: I think I mostly feel that.
Speaker 5: You people should go home knowing who won a thing.
Speaker 6: Sure, right, and like because they were able to make
Speaker 6: that decision fast enough, I think it's totally fine. Don't
Speaker 6: make sure of motion at the Pokemon that's sorry, as
Speaker 6: seems so funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you could have either like just disqualified him
Speaker 2: on the spot or like given him a penalty going
Speaker 2: in the next round. Yeah, but no, you were like, actually,
Speaker 2: we're gonna say that you didn't you lost it.
Speaker 1: It's not what they would do in any professional sport,
Speaker 1: but they would. They would probably find they might disqualify
Speaker 1: and they say that the other person, but I don't
Speaker 1: think they would reverse the decision.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And like like on on was a tag team
Speaker 2: Sou's Andrew mahone and friends doing a Pokemon podcast over there.
Speaker 2: He was like, yeah, like you know, NFL would never
Speaker 2: do that. They find players all the time, right, like
Speaker 2: big sporting events like this, but they're not gonna like say,
Speaker 2: well you know, fourth quarter, halfway through, Well, the team's
Speaker 2: got you off the field? Were done here?
Speaker 6: Well in so okay, So there's two examples that I
Speaker 6: have for you. And F one they do this shit
Speaker 6: all the time, like very frequently, well not very frequently,
Speaker 6: but a couple of times this season. This happened at
Speaker 6: the last race in Spa, NASCAR or F one, George
Speaker 6: Russell won the race. Everyone saw him win the race,
Speaker 6: and then like an hour later they were like his
Speaker 6: car was too light. Actually, so everything you saw that
Speaker 6: didn't happen. He didn't even actually drive the car. They
Speaker 6: just qualified him entirely. And then the guy that came
Speaker 6: in second won the race. Okay, so only nineteen cars
Speaker 6: technically finished the race. At the Olympics, in the men's
Speaker 6: soccer tournament, in the like one of the first games
Speaker 6: they I think it was Morocco and Argentina question mark,
Speaker 6: there was a penalty called during the game or not
Speaker 6: called during the either one of these the penalty was
Speaker 6: called during the game or the penalty was not called
Speaker 6: during the game. They finished the game, everyone went home.
Speaker 6: The IOC afterwards was like, ah.
Speaker 5: Actually we were wrong.
Speaker 6: Everybody can get back on the fucking bus. And then
Speaker 6: everyone had to get back on the bus and they
Speaker 6: played like eight minutes. They took the goal off the board,
Speaker 6: and then they played eight more minutes of soccer and
Speaker 6: then that was the end of.
Speaker 5: The love that so like there's precedent, but this is
Speaker 5: it's like.
Speaker 1: A variation on like how do we solve a problem
Speaker 1: and like there's no right answer here. I think there's
Speaker 1: things that feel the least intrusive and this is not
Speaker 1: the least intrusive. But also I don't it's not that
Speaker 1: big a deal. Sure, the guy that lost one I
Speaker 1: don't know, do a crotch chop instead of a tuerk
Speaker 1: off Handmok, you just thing Luigi does in Mario soccer,
Speaker 1: Like you're fine there.
Speaker 2: So clearly no, yeah, like everyone's in agreement like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you just did some you shouldn't have done. It's just
Speaker 2: the weirdness of like the rewriting of the bracket right there,
Speaker 2: it felt all that.
Speaker 1: It's fun, though it's like at a certain point it's
Speaker 1: like it's humans and it's messy and uh, you got
Speaker 1: to figure it out, and having a bunch of arbitrary rules.
Speaker 1: Arbitrary rules makes it like, oh, yeah, that's what.
Speaker 5: Yea does find a way to get involved.
Speaker 1: All right, I think that'll do it for that opening segment.
Speaker 1: Let's just get into it. I got a draft board here,
Speaker 1: and what we're gonna do is, first say the teams.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be Jeff rhymes with death. There's Emma Knife, okay,
Speaker 1: tomb Oh, Sean no necro Nikki.
Speaker 5: That's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that works. Okay, So what we're gonna
Speaker 1: do is we're gonna go around the horn. We'll do
Speaker 1: a snake style draft and let's pick five each. Does
Speaker 1: that sound right?
Speaker 2: Well yeah, okay, So what kind of characters are here
Speaker 2: the ground work here?
Speaker 1: I think like okay, I think if they are a
Speaker 1: primary villain or or like someone you kill in a
Speaker 1: horror game, okay, or something that chases you in a
Speaker 1: horror game. Okay, I think all that would count.
Speaker 4: Okay, what about licensed horror games like the Evil Dead game.
Speaker 1: Let's go with no Go No Go no Goku rule,
Speaker 1: so originates in gaming primarily Obviously we can have a
Speaker 1: conversation about it if you want to bring something up, and.
Speaker 2: Then we're still only horror games. No, like spooky characters
Speaker 2: from otherwise non horror games.
Speaker 6: I think we should open it up to that could
Speaker 6: be construed as scary, but in a scary video game,
Speaker 6: that's what it sounds great.
Speaker 2: It's gonna help me and Nikki.
Speaker 1: Honestly, it'll help me too. So yeah, let's uh, let's
Speaker 1: do let's do that. Okay. Uh, with that in mind,
Speaker 1: let's just go here. Let's I'm not gonna go first,
Speaker 1: so we'll go in that order. Emma, you start us
Speaker 1: off and then we will snake back and forth.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna take Albert Wesker.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that sounds about right to me.
Speaker 7: Albert, Okay, let me do this real quick.
Speaker 1: All right, Up next is tomb oh Shawn.
Speaker 2: Now you see, I'm gonna do something extremely out of
Speaker 2: character for me, Jeff, and I'm gonna I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: for the horny crowd and I'm gonna.
Speaker 3: That's good.
Speaker 5: That's good.
Speaker 2: I like it, Uh do? I I believe? Okay, and
Speaker 2: another eye dems is that right? You know you're getting there?
Speaker 2: You're getting there? But like, what if Tresk was the
Speaker 2: ending instead of Strakos?
Speaker 1: Listen? Uh, okay, necro Nikki.
Speaker 6: What's the lady in pt PT Lady pet lady.
Speaker 2: There's a lady in Pete.
Speaker 1: The lady she follows if we have a name before
Speaker 1: we do that, but.
Speaker 5: At least and being told her name is Lisa.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, all right, how are we doing this
Speaker 2: snake style? If you didn't go yet.
Speaker 1: Well, Nick, you will go twice. I'll go twice.
Speaker 2: Just move your column to the right.
Speaker 7: Okay, we do that right now, right, and then move
Speaker 7: it over.
Speaker 1: Oh and oh good, I think that looks good. Yes,
Speaker 1: that looks good. Okay. I I will go with pyramid Head.

Speaker 5: That's good, okay.
Speaker 1: I feel like that has me covered on those types. Now.
Speaker 1: I feel like that market cornered. This means it goes
Speaker 1: back to Nikky Frederick fas bear Oh.

Speaker 1: How do I spell fas bear.
Speaker 5: Bear bear?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 1: Uh Sean, all.
Speaker 2: Right, well, this is one of the reasons I wanted

Speaker 5: Mm hmm, but what if it's a class of guys.
Speaker 1: I don't throw it out there the flood.
Speaker 5: I think does that count?
Speaker 1: I probably should count? Yeah, that's like it's a collective.
Speaker 2: To the initial pitch was like and like villains and creatures.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's a spooky character from non spooky game
Speaker 2: thine that counts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. I'm like, I'm also like running out of ideas.
Speaker 7: I got some ideas, but I'm like not sure if
Speaker 7: that's like gonna get me anything new.
Speaker 1: Here, I'll go. I'll just I'll do it. Since none
Speaker 1: of you've done it, I'll do Nemesis. I know it's
Speaker 1: kind of sar, but that was similar category.
Speaker 2: I would say, I just didn't want to double up.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, I'm I'm kind of I think hitting
Speaker 1: resident evil people will be helpful. Still, yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: let me see here. No, that's still no Goku girl's name,
Speaker 1: but slender Man is Goku, right, yeah, slender we bought this.
Speaker 2: That's a rough one. I feel like no one really
Speaker 2: knew him until the games. That's a little we can do.
Speaker 1: We can have to chat, do a poll for chat.
Speaker 1: Let him be the judge on it. Judge, you are
Speaker 1: acting as judge on this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we have to chat.

Speaker 2: morphs from Dead Space.

Speaker 3: raymy mallick and until dawn it was so good. Huh.
Speaker 3: I was like, I really want a woman, but like
Speaker 3: the dark Presence does actually possess a woman and Alan wake,
Speaker 3: so I like sort of have a woman on my
Speaker 3: account that counts.
Speaker 5: You know what.
Speaker 4: I'm just the ghosts, you know from fast phobia, just
Speaker 4: the ghost.
Speaker 2: Pasmo phobia.
Speaker 1: That's really good.
Speaker 7: I think as mo phobia. I'm sounding it out and
Speaker 7: hoping it's right. Or is it FAsMA phobia.

Speaker 1: that's the resident evil seven, like the head of the family,
Speaker 1: the guy who's constantly messing with you and seven right,
Speaker 1: all right, Nikki last pick.

Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Psychomantis is spooky enough, right, Yeah, I'm okay.
Speaker 1: Throwing this to Chat again and let them decide. I
Speaker 1: feel like this one they could easily say no to
Speaker 1: so Chat.
Speaker 6: What do you think I would just say that. I
Speaker 6: don't think it's strong enough to waste a pick off.
Speaker 1: I well, okay, I don't need your advice.
Speaker 2: Okay, let me put this man. I think there is
Speaker 2: a more suitable metal Gear villain. But if this is
Speaker 2: what you want.
Speaker 1: To go, I don't say no, this is what I
Speaker 1: want to go with because I haven't played enough metal
Speaker 1: gear to know the difference.
Speaker 2: Which is okay? You know, in that situation, I'll yeah,
Speaker 2: I would be okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Dry Bones is pretty good to win ship and no
Speaker 1: more suggestions of chat even though it's my last pick.
Speaker 1: All right, are we okay with me? Pick?
Speaker 6: We want to go to the chair that's so. I'm
Speaker 6: completely fine with me. I just think it's a bad pay.
Speaker 1: I need really strong ones. Yeah yeah, all right, let's
Speaker 1: uh are we ready to read off our lists? Why
Speaker 1: don't we start with you? Emma, go ahead read your
Speaker 1: full list?
Speaker 4: Okay, So my full list consists of Albert Wesker, the
Speaker 4: overarching antagonist of many a Resident Evil story. We also
Speaker 4: have the Dark Presence, an omni present evil that possesses
Speaker 4: people from Alan Wake. Then we have Josh from A
Speaker 4: Until Dawn, who is the brother seeking vengeance for the
Speaker 4: accidental death he thinks of one of his sisters in
Speaker 4: the midst of a truly cruel and elaborate prank. Then
Speaker 4: I have Salazar Ramon Salazar from Resident Evil, for he's
Speaker 4: a dandy little gentleman who sometimes wears a hat. And
Speaker 4: then the ghosts of Fastmophobia, who are ever present and
Speaker 4: in need of identification iconic.
Speaker 1: Y're iconic. I like that you made it closing arguments.
Speaker 1: That's good, Seawan, your turn.
Speaker 2: Okay. So I picked up Lady Dematrisque from Resident Evil Village,
Speaker 2: The in My Eyes, the og Goat ghost of video games,
Speaker 2: gang Gar. Everyone loves ZIMD. I love you so Sor
Speaker 2: represents ghost.
Speaker 1: I was going to say, you don't even that's no Boo,
Speaker 1: but then you made.
Speaker 2: Even more than the Booze, which speaking of, I picked
Speaker 2: the Boo himself, King Boo from the Luigi's Mansion series
Speaker 2: and now Mario in general. I have not played this
Speaker 2: series outside the first game, so the Necromores I believe
Speaker 2: are just the dead Space enemies throughout the series. And
Speaker 2: then welcome to the family son Jack Baker from Resident
Speaker 2: Evil seven. He's gonna take you for a.
Speaker 1: Ride, Nikki, you go now.
Speaker 5: I picked the PTE.
Speaker 6: Lady from pt I learned today is named Lisa Frederick
Speaker 6: Fasbar from Five Nights at Friday's, the Flood from Halo,
Speaker 6: Chew Choo Charlie, the Train from Chew Choo Charlie I
Speaker 6: think is the name of the video game, and train
Speaker 6: and the train and the Creepers from Minecraft.
Speaker 1: From Minecraft, I went with pyramid Head because I think
Speaker 1: people want to have sex with him. I want to
Speaker 1: pick mister X because I think people want to have
Speaker 1: sex with him. Nemesis very very creeping and iconic. I think,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if it's the strongest
Speaker 1: of my other picks, but us slender Man for the children,
Speaker 1: and then Psychomantis because I thought it was a pretty
Speaker 1: creepy character and also a name recognition. I just think
Speaker 1: when people see a name they recognize they vote on
Speaker 1: these lists. Now, Uh, people ask about the criteria. I
Speaker 1: don't think we should say what's the scariest. I just
Speaker 1: say pick your favorite, right your list, your take your
Speaker 1: favorite list?
Speaker 4: I think is the strongest team, you know, like if
Speaker 4: these if these guys were teaming up to.
Speaker 1: That argument, you can but that people don't have to.
Speaker 1: They don't have to vote that way, but if you
Speaker 1: if you want to, if you think that helps your case.
Speaker 3: I think if we're talking about just like easically.
Speaker 2: Just like, yeah, the list you like the best villains who.
Speaker 3: Are going to hatch an effective plan.
Speaker 1: But people are going to vote however they want to vote,
Speaker 1: and I think people are going to interpret this however
Speaker 1: they want. So if you want to appeal to the
Speaker 1: people that are voting for that, I think that's completely
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying now, Sean, you know, we just
Speaker 1: do it a quick pull here in chat, get people
Speaker 1: ready for it. Sound good?
Speaker 2: Someone already did a poll. I think we may have
Speaker 2: to do another poll.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just refresh that. Yeah, let's start it over, because
Speaker 1: like now that we laid the ground rules and I
Speaker 1: had a chance to stay their closing arguments this one
Speaker 1: and then okay, is it ready to go? Because we
Speaker 1: could tell people whin three two one the poles are open.
Speaker 1: Get in there, everybody vote for your favorite? All right?
Speaker 2: Cool?
Speaker 1: What is the mount rushmore? Out of here? Real quick? Everybody?
Speaker 1: Is it? I think pad I.
Speaker 4: Would have taken Pyramidhead if if I'm sure anybody would
Speaker 4: have taken Pyramidhead if you.
Speaker 2: Hadn't Rammy Malick of course, just.
Speaker 3: Because it's Rammy Mallick space. He's not even like really
Speaker 3: the primary antagonist. He just is like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which you know that that does remind me like
Speaker 2: the did you guys end up with any picks that
Speaker 2: you didn't go with like I did?
Speaker 5: Oh no, what do you have?
Speaker 2: Because I was thinking, like the other normy pics I
Speaker 2: wrote down quick, were the Boomer from Leftford Dead? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I definitely think I left Ford. I think I was
Speaker 1: gonna do the Witch from Leftford Dead, but I don't
Speaker 1: know how strong that is these days.
Speaker 2: A curve ball with a Joel from the Last of us.
Speaker 4: You know, I thought about that because I was thinking
Speaker 4: about Abby, and then I was like, I don't really
Speaker 4: think Ay.
Speaker 3: Is the antagonist.
Speaker 2: Abby is the hero of the last I.
Speaker 3: Don't think Abby is really the antagonist.
Speaker 2: And the really obscure one, not super obscure like people
Speaker 2: who have known. But I was thinking Monica from doky
Speaker 2: doky literature. That's abstract, and I think Jack gave me Monica.
Speaker 4: Is a really good idea from friends.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, scariest character I can think, actually, the villain. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, I believe we have the results. Why don't
Speaker 1: we start, Sean, go work your way from the bottom up.
Speaker 1: Built some tension, I guess.
Speaker 2: Okay, So in fourth place, this is a very close,
Speaker 2: really close vote, by.
Speaker 1: The way, way closer, and we've ever had see anyone
Speaker 1: in third or second could have just as Usilia's one
Speaker 1: margin A bear who knows. Maybe you don't even trust
Speaker 1: these results.
Speaker 2: Yeah, raising their arms in victory for their fourth place
Speaker 2: when necro NEICKI, congratulations, thank you, thank you. Uh. And
Speaker 2: then I would like to point out, yeah, third, second,
Speaker 2: and first place are all separated by one vote each,
Speaker 2: so these were very close. And then Nicky wasn't far behind,
Speaker 2: but in third place is em a knife?
Speaker 4: Yes, thank you Wendy who believed in me and the
Speaker 4: power of sunglasses and ABC.
Speaker 1: As ABC points out, you both did better than Mike.
Speaker 2: Which means that second place and therefore not the winner.
Speaker 2: Second almost you want to just say who the winner
Speaker 2: is between us? No, I was point out that second
Speaker 2: place is specifically like worse than third in a way,
Speaker 2: because it's like you didn't win. We did get the
Speaker 2: goal in the second place, Superglasses, Jeff rhymes of death,
Speaker 2: which means that your winner is Toobo sewn. It doesn't
Speaker 2: even really just thinking, like the whole time I was
Speaker 2: leaning up to I'm like, wait, what rhymes of death?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could love scrat of Jeff. I think it
Speaker 1: is close enough or something like that, so I'll do that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm getting very close understood.
Speaker 4: The assignment because I was like ready to make an
Speaker 4: argument for how my.
Speaker 3: Team was going to.
Speaker 2: Accomplish the domination.
Speaker 1: Again, I think some people do read it that way,
Speaker 1: So I think that, I mean, listen, you were right there,
Speaker 1: I was right there.
Speaker 3: I was right there.
Speaker 1: But congratulations, Sean, well done.
Speaker 2: Points on the chat. I need to make sure not
Speaker 2: to jerk off into the camera or.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or well you'll get your we reverse it.
Speaker 1: That means, all right, let's get out of here. Let's
Speaker 1: get to our weekend. Uh Nikki, Emma Sewan, thank you

Speaker 1: appreciate all the help this week. It was a lot
