We got a' veryve exciting special episode for you this week because I know what you're thinking. You want a podcast basically where the Press X to continue trivia is more than just a feature. You're thinking you want it to last an entire episode . Well, if you are that person that thinks that you're in luck because what this is, it is the Press Ex to continue trivia special. My name is Stefan. I'm very nervous as is my co host, Ainel Tomlinson, because we're going to be going head to head , I know in this little situation we have here . Yes, we are. And I've been looking forward to this and you know what? I think yes Andy No is probably looking forward to this even more than we are . So for non regular listeners, yes, Andy No is a lovely member of our disco community who did some fantastic maths to turn our trivia section into like a proper leaderboard. Well, Andy, you can click back and relax because this week we've got the Quiz Master himself , the man renowned for hosting quizzes all across the country. It is that famous celebrity interviewer. It is from Radio One. Ali Plum, friend of PressX to continue Allie with us in the orgy run and back again ? Yes, here I am returning with some vicious questions about the history of gaming. So it's a broad church we're entering into right now. I hope you know a little bit about everything , but also because this was originally crafted to tie in with the Bafta Awards, gaming awards, of course earlier this year. I hope you're up to date with all the recent successes and who 's been nominated and won in the past. So thank God yes we are no pressure. All you have to be is absolutely excellent and you should be fine. Yeah . No, we know when Ali did this first to a pub full of very excited gaming influencers, journalists and that type . Lots of people that we know that have been on press ini as well and with us regularly. They did it and loved it. So I'm hoping I know the week that we at least long as we beat them , as long as we beat them , that's that's the criteria. But also they were in teams of like five and six. You are operating solo going head to head against each other. You've got whiteboards or tablets in front of you you so can write down your answers and I know for sure you're not hearing someone else give the answer and go yeah yeah yeah yeah that yeah as far as we can manage it it's relatively fair other than your differences in intelligence . That's the only unfair 's what we're worried about. We're not worried about that actually reputation is sort of on the line you're at. But you're not on the line for you while it be gentle with us. And before we get started, we do have some things that we have to sort of stick to here on press ext reme because we're sticklers for the format . And we start every episode with an unsung hero game to get us going on a positive vibe and to reflect and remember something that somebody loves and why and Ali, as we're a guest of honor this week, what is your unsung hero game and why please? My unsung hero game is from twenty twenty two. Do you remember back that fall. twenty twenty two Remember last year? Yeah. How can it be an unsung hero and so recent? But have you guys ever played Marvel's Midnight Suns? You know what? I didn't hop on it. I didn't hop on it. I've got it, but not even booted it up. You have no idea how often when I bring it up people say, Oh yeah, yeah, I did get that. I think it was actually relatively recently sort of a free game through PlayS tation as well . But what this is is a collaboration of the MCU, some of the darker side of the Avengers, runaways , those characters and midnight sons themselves. And so yeah, you take a Marvel Comics property and then you smush it together with a Fire Axis game XCOM style setup and then you turn it into a card battler as well and you've got so much that I enjoy. So if you enjoy Slayerspire or Slay the Spire too, which I can't wait to come out on consoles, not there yet, but I can be patient . This is so addictive . It also has one of those because you're this made up superhero called the hunter and you have to join forces with all these different heroes and sort of maybe antiheroes to battle this bigger threat in a very excy way, it's turn based, but you're playing cards that you collect and tweak and it's sort of it's all the usual stuff you're expecting from a slave despire type game, but you do have to keep making friends with everyone who's in your team . My one weakness for this game, as in like my one little problem with it, is it forces you to constantly have those conversations where you're sucking up to characters saying Do you like chess? I love chess. Here's a random chess piece and then it goes boobing . Deadpool loves you twenty percent more. So if you can give it if you can forgive it that side of things, the gameplay loop is dopamine hit after dopamine hit. It's really enjoyable. I remember zoning out to it in the best possible way. Locked in had a great time. It got well reviewed, which normally doesn't fit in this category, but it just didn't sell. And I think the reason why and stop me if I'm wrong guys because I'm just modern logging is that it seemed to a lot of people like it was a sort of phone game Yeah and actually it's so much better than that and so much more addictive than that. It has four downloadable expansions as well. So it's got lots of depth. The story ain't too bad either. And there are so many people on Reddit I know who found it late and are now like hang on, I want more and you know fire accesses are going should have bought it when it came out . So Marvels Min Light Suns , I love this game. I would happily replay at that so much. I enjoyed it and it's full of characters that you know and love . Some of the facial capture isn't great . I like some of that. But it's actually the actual gameplay is what matters and that's great. I think Marvel Midnight Sun struggled. I think a lot with some of the Marvel video game adaptations recently is it seemed to be a clear lack of overall strategy when it came to advertising and marketing these games. They've done so many interesting different things. The Suicide Squad game was actually quite good and the Marvel Avengers game was actually quite good. But because the way that they sort of marketed them almost separately and not in a thread, people feel like in my opinion, correct me if I'm wrong, people who are into Marvel want to feel like they're part of the grand storytelling, whether they read the comic books, they build up to something or Avengers movies that built up to Infinity, which do you know what I mean? It felt like they were on a journey to get somewhere. But all of these little stand alone experiences that they've released recently are all fine well in and of themselves , but because they don't feel like they're part of something bigger, I wonder if that's why they don't find an audience. Not digging with my mind. Am I making sense or am I talking absolute nonsense? No, you are, you are. I think especially since the cinematic universe was so successful , it's one of those things where it's like, oh, like, is this gonna be an add on to that? No, not really. It's gonna be its own separate thing. And it's like, oh, okay. And it kind of makes people pause to whether they should j likeoin in it or not. But I have heard about the notorious book clubs that you have in that game in terms of you can have book club meetings . Oh, I you realize as you sit down for about forty minutes with this game that you've spent thirty minutes doing book clubs all like I'm sold. This is selling it to me. Minding random things . I need to find someone to talk about Warryn Height . Yes Come on. Wolverine is massively into Jane Austen, so he's cracking through pride and prejudice. No, it's not all that, but it can be a bit of that. The actual battling is brilliant. Like I really enjoy that and it's deck building, which I'm always a sucker for. But in terms of it not being like the MCU, I hear that. But for me, that's part of the appeal. You've got characters like Magic who've seen very briefly on the big screen in a Fox movie, but Blade is in this Robbie Rays. Like there's lot to a lot to enjoy that you wouldn't otherwise see and darker and more subversive, sure . But it's enjoyable if you're really into your MCU and look , Stephana knows this. I recently managed to kick my Marvel Snap addiction last year and I am I'm so happy I've managed to get through the other side well, done me , but this had a really nice ending and I was like, right, that's good. I'm done. And gave me that pleasure and then I could move on to the next thing. So yeah, if you like if you like deck builders, if you like rogue lights, if you like term based stuff, it reminded me occasionally of old school final fantasy , but I just really enjoyed it. So yeah, Marvel's Midnight Suns, if it's chickling, your fancy at all, it's bound to come back up as a sort of three pound like sale thing. So stick it on your watch list and I'm sure it'll surprise you sometime. Very good. Well look let us know what you think of Marvel's Midnight Sund. Did you play it? Dave you loved it like Ali? Are you disappointed? What do you think about it? Let us know get involved in the discord. Do you know what to find us now? Find us on social media as well.

You can access live streams, bonus episodes, behind the scenes content and even if you 're feeling fancy, some press to continue merch. Without further ado rather with lots of trepidation , Ali, I hand the range. I've had to do this twice in the last couple of months actually. And once I've been ill recently and therefore Frankie wanted to come in and do a stefan impression and voice the podcast and now I'm handing the reins over to you. I don't know if I like this lack of power all of a sudden. It's over to you, Alex. If you do well, all the power will be yours. The room will be intimidated by just how clever and knowledgeable you are. Okay, so we have three regular rounds to look forward to. I'm going to give you what these rounds are as a concept up top so you can start panicking early. Okay the first round is about the biggest gaming franchises ever . So every question will be about a gaming franchise that has unit sales of over two hundred million plus . We're talking the monsters, the whoppers, the gigantic games. And if you don't know stuff about these then awkward. Next round is about gaming film adaptations so forcing you as a film journalist here to think more about gaming and about pop culture generally. Obviously a lot of these gaming adaptations are rubbish, but some of them are moderately entertaining and occasionally good, but they have entered pop culture, so hopefully you'll know more than a few things about them. The final regular round before the music round of course is all about BAFTA nominated games this year and twist previous years. So I hope you know Bafta Gaming Award winners . I think you do, I think you will. You're going to be okay. I will give hints. That's another thing I'm going to say. If anybody's come to any of my film quizzes, Ali' Pslumitled unt film Quiz Project, you'll know I am not the kind of guy that sees people blank faced staring at me and I go, No, if you don't know the answer, you can go home and cry. No, I will give you him a few punquizzes like that. Please please. I want to see your puppy dog faces as you go. Honey , please. Could we get the first letter, please? To the answer. So let's see how we do. I believe in you both. One of you knows that I believe in you more. So sort of keep it under your hat. Yeah . All right, let's begin with that very first round , the biggest gaming franchises ever . Okay . Remember, they have their own answer boards, either a tablet or a whiteboard in front of them. I'm going to give them a little bit of time to write down the answer and then that'll give you a little bit of time at home. I sound so chewy to come up with the answer yourselves. And don't forget, you can always pause if you want a little bit more thinking time. A reminder that I wrote this quiz with the idea that there'll be six of them as a team. So let's see how we do it. Who wants to be a continuer ? Question number one on the biggest gaming franchises ever What is the name of the shapeshifting Pokemon you play as in pokopia Now this can be I should know through knowing your Pokemon . This is an original series Pokemon . We had Sophie Keenon Kadea was on the other day reviewing pokopia for us very good re aview. We did a couple of episodes back and listen to it. So we talked about it. I think this is right but I could be wrong. What is the name of the shape shape? Board by the way it's massive. Yeah, not a brag . But there's absolutely no need for that. All right , so we have ironically enough, they both have the same answer, which is of course ditto. Dito and a strong. I'm strong. They're feeling good, they're feeling happy. We're gonna keep Come on Allie, let's go. Yeah, I start with an underarmed throw. Easy, easy. No, that's why that would be the hardest question . And interesting I know like quizzes just put you on such edge don't they're so fun. It does and it's a whole different mindset. Yeah. And I'm not just big enough because he's with us on the podcast, but he's a genius quiz inventor of coming up with questions is film one. It goes all around the country. I think there's some love to tell us there'll be some coming up somewhere in a place near you. If you get a chance to go some with your mates, it's a right laugh of a couple of beers, try and answer the questions . It's all very interactive. It's good fun. You know what it is though? There's what there's a thing about Ali that I really like. He's got such a soothing calm voice but the quiz questions I know they're going to become evil. Yeah. I know he's gonna he's gonna show the dark side a smooth voice so it's like ah put in a full sense of you can ask it in as lovely a smooth and calming tone as he wants but we know they're gonna they're gonna get better . Okay, here we go . Okay , Question number two of the biggest gaming franchises ever round . In Mario as in Super Mario Bros , what are Mario and Luigi's full names This question is much easier than you think . In Super Mario Bros , what are Mario and Luigi's full names . There is a clue in the question . You know what? I'm gonna have to go with the Bob Hoskins movie 'cause that's the only time I can recall time I could recall. The answers. Okay, I'm thinking can't let me down. I think it's a trick question. Is there a surname bros ? Or is it just Mario? I know, let's see your answer . Mario Mario . Now here's what's happened. Mario Mario. Their surnames are Mario. So it's Mario Mario and Luigi Mario. Super Mario Bros. Step Buthan got half the way there . He worked out a little bit what was going on. Yeah , but I feel like he got it wrong enough that he didn't get the point. I know it see Bob Hoskins would never let me down. I've been bogged. Never let me down anyway. So we got two points final. Do we give him a half? No, no, no , no we don't do that. You don't do that. I know. Charity like that . Remember that. Question three . In which gaming series would you find green crystals called plumbobs In which gaming series would you find green crystals called plumbobs ? My hint here is bobs . You are always seeing these on screen every time you play them green crystals called plumbs . Think laterally and also remember this question is part of the biggest gaming franchise's ever round . No wrong way. This one I've let the side down . I don't think I've got it down but it's in this genre I've gone Crash Bandicoot I've gone Minecraftraft. Oh Cbrend is a good shot. You both sadly got it wrong . The answer is and you'll kick yourself the Sims . Oh of course. Of course . The reason why I'm gonna put that in is Plumbobs, my surname Plum . Plus Rick and Morty . Just all sorts of win there. That question really wound people up on the night, so this is pleasing me . It's two one two one now. Let's get going. , which video game franchise has attracted such celebrity talent as Jason the State Statham, Lewis Hamilton, and Snoop Dog among others to voice its characters. Which video game franchise has attracted such celebrity talent as Jason Statham, Lewis Hamilton and Snoop Dog S ea amongst others to voice? One of them is the giveaway for me. One of them I think is also the giveaway. But I didn't think one of them had done it. So I'm like hm m, but I'm going I'm going. Let's have the answer. Two my head for me. But like the one that I'm thinking of, I don't think is that huge of a franchise . Oh he's panicking, I can see. He's dead . I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm going for going crazy. I've gone for the little hanging crew. All right, let's do it Says I now call of duty says Stefan and Stefan is right of course was it in the zombie mode? Now Date them is in the very first call of duty and the Snoop Dog is in like four of them now because he's an addict and Lewis at one point plays a sort of mechanic tech guy. He's in Call of Duty infinite warfare and I can remember being sent the footage of him to do an article about it because like what the hell is Photo Lewis Hamilton getting into acting? Because in the same game it was Jon Snow, Kit Harrington, he was the lead cast . I say in space, right? In space, yeah, but I just couldn't, I didn't think Statham had done it. Obviously Snoop Dogg's all the DLC and he's in war zone and all that stuff. But yeah, Lewis Hamilton was the giveaway for me on that one. Lovely. Well, not a good guess. Good guess. Let's crack on . Minecraft creators Mojang studios are primarily based in which Scandinavian country . This is cheating' Is up in there. Hopefully an easy one for the Paravi. Oh, if I got this, I've said I'm very confident now. And if I get it wrong It's Greenland crack on what we got Which Scandinavian country? Sweden . So Eino is writing Scandinavia . He doesn't he doesn't Scandino and Stefan does know when it is Sweden, you're absolutely right . Ah , this massive whiteboard for those listening by the way,in Ao's got a very jazzy brand new tablet. I've got an old whiteboard. That's the size of my entire room. I actually been to work out lifting this up. Happy James Buffer. Yeah. Next question, the big blockbuster around , in which gaming franchise would you find a security company called Group Sax and a beer brand called PISVASA ? In which gaming franchise would you find a security company called Group S ex G, RUPPE SECHS and a beer brand called PISVASA . Estes. Inell in with GTA, Stefan's in with GTA as well .

This is So far, so far, so far . I'm going to let you answer this question together in synchronicity because I believe you'll both get it right and I want to hear you say it together. Okay . So okay.

They're bringing those back. Love that. It's the in the game campaign . All right, here is the eighth question . Which iconic video game was first sold with the tagline the Soviet challenge ? Which iconic video game was first sold with the tagline The Soviet challenge ? This is definitely in the upper league of most units sold of any game ? That's weird . But what iconic video game was first sold with a tagline The Soviet challenge ? Oh very pub quiz question this one . I'm just that's what I could think of at Boy Ghosost Effan. Command and Conquer. Call of Duty from our band conquer was big enough. The answer is it was big enough. Tetris And then you've got obviously Moscow in the background and Topiras, yeah, all that zero points for the pair of you, but everyone at home is going , I knew that 'cause I'm a genius. Question nine . What is the name of the fictional species of flightless, typically yellow birds seen in the Final Fantasy series? you spell it .

You first got attention . All right, here's the last one. I'm being very formal today. I'm very normally enjoying it. I'm enjoying doing my quizzes. All right, so six points to Stefan in this round and five points to Aynelle so far. This one is the trickiest of the lot, I think, but you guys will probably get it in three seconds flat . For half a point each, name the cities the following Assassin's Creed titles are set in . What cities are the following two assassin's creed titles set in? Assassin's Creed Unity and Assassin's Creed Syndicate Furious Scribbling . Stefan's confident, I think. I don't know. He's not confident. I think I got one of them. I don't know if I've got the other one Yeah, I both correctly . Paris and London. Paris is united London a syndicate bravo one point for the pair of you . That means at the end of the first round it is seven points to Stefan and six points to Inell, but I believe , I believe it's still very much all to play for. Of course , as we move on to gaming film adaptations . Okay, you exclude this Question Taste, you know what? Yeah, I've enjoyed it. This is great , well done. I'm sweating like crazy.

It's quite a long day. Another day, another . I will say that movie is not spectacular, but it has an epic ending, like the final act involving two giant ships is what the heck am I watching? Alright, let's see, let's see where this goes. I enjoyed it. Yeah, I might watch it . But don't tell Tom, it's a bit three and a half styles on a good day. Incredible product placement as well, but let's get into that. Question two , who voices Detective Pikachu in twenty nineteen's Pokemon Detective Pikachu ? Our answers are we're getting so into it. We're not even talking though. We're just like, you know what it is? I'm getting confused with my riot. Yes. I'm trying to remember which riot was it? Didn't fall into my trap, you're both correct. It's Ryan Reynolds, Norway and Gosling, well done. One point each. Do you know what helped me remember that Ali is leaving trade secret?

I got the wrong one. Is the other handsome man? It didn't even help. It didn't even help myself. It still worked out you . All right, next one.

Yeah, that's what's throwing me is definitely there's two and I'm banking that there's a third because I can't see it being anything else . All right, I'm going to press you. You got nothing. I'm gonna kick myself and he says Stephan. What you got? Yeah , I got nothing. Sonic the Hedgehog is correct, Stefan. Yes. Ben Schwartz is Sonic, Idris Elbert is of course knuckles . The liskers on . What did you go for Ainel? Nothing Currently it's ten points to Stefan and eight to Ainel . I didn't think there was a third, I can't think. There is a third year that came out last year, I think. They make it a fourth as well. Oh, big time, big time, big time. Next question . In twenty sixteen, ten years ago, Paula Pat , Dtomoninic Cooper and Ben Foster starred in a film that was at one point the biggest gaming adaptation of all time , but what on earth was it called?

He can't spell the candor, so he panicked, but it's Alyssia Vacanda and Angelina Jolie. Well done, both of you. I didn't think the whole passage wouldn't be Angela Joni, would be Vikanda . Yep, she's a very attractive human being. And I thought that tombrider was quite was alright. I thought it was decent, yeah. Yeah . But it is a bit of a shock that they've cast good looking people in Laura Croft roles. It's extreme . All right. Next one question in the Jolly as Yeah. Daniel Craig Daniel Craig's in the sequel one of his finest performances, I'm sure it helped pay his first mortgage before he became Jimmy Bond. All right, next one. How many Miller Yovic Resident Evil Movies were released . The first came out in two thousand two, the last came out in twenty seventeen. We're nearing the end of the round so things are getting a bit trickier. Pick a number, it's more than you think. How many Mil ovic Resident Evil films were released in the the cinema, first came out in two thousand two and the last came out in twenty seventeen. Can you read that number? I can read any of them. I've never seen them. We've got five from Inell, and we've got Oh Stephan, I think you got the board the wrong way around. You want to turn it over ? No, he's doubling down. It wasn't nine. It was six. I was giving you an opportunity to get a point by accident , but I'm sorry didn't hear it . I was trying to do my most official voice like you turn it around, right? I just thought you couldn't read my writing. No, Alice and Mor.n No, it's a nine mate. You'll get there . The odds are six. There were six of them over the course of fifteen years . All right, final question of the adaptation ran. Resident Evil isn't the only video game franchise to feature Miller Yavovich in the lead role. In twenty twenty, she also appeared in which Japanese fantasy RPG adaptation. And I say that clearly '.s not It a JRPG in the truest sense, but it is a Japanese, as in it's from Japan, fantasy RPG . I've not seen this either but I had two people get really up in my flipping grill saying It's not a JRPG. I was like, That's why I didn't say that anyway. You're both correct. It's Monster Hunter . What are your favorite you like? You love a monster hunter game, don't you know? Love it, but never seen the movie Let me help you. You're alright with that . Also apologies to production team goblin ONE Call it Owen Goblin by the way people say 'cause he refers to himself as that. That's a term of endearment. Because I keep banging the microphone out of excitement with my giant whiteboard. So I'm deeply sorry, please forgive me.

Anyway, for now, back to the episode. We move on to the trickiest round of the lot. Here we go. The Bafta nominated slash BAFTA winners. These are all either nominated for best game this year or were or were previous winners of best game. Here we go. You can cut the tension with a knife made. What else? Before this I was fine, I'm sweating like crazy dad. It's question one . Ghost of Yot ai , whose name I've butchered is set on which Japanese island , the country's second largest, I don't know why I said earlier . The country's second largest Ghost of Yotai is set on which Japanese island the country's second largest don't worry about spelling I'm out, I'm not. He's got nothing. I've got , yeah I'm out . Have you enjoyed the game most or did you not get around to it? Too big for me as much as I'd love to play it in love in Shima. It's too much game for the little lad. Too much game for me. Yeah . I did play. I played I played about, did I play about ten, ten hours of something? No I played quite a lot of Susima. I' moreve been Susima than I played Yoti. I played a bit of it and I thought it was fantastic, but I just had to say too much. The graph is bigger than your stomach, got it? Yeah. To big . Yeah . Andel did you play it at all? I played about ten hours as well. I got like the first weapon and then I wanted to fall back to first weapon in ten hours for the first secondary weapon. I understand. The answer is Hakaido. Haakido is the name of the island. Question number two, this should be a much easier one for you lot . In which winner of the Bafta for best game would you play the character of Commander Shepherd in which winner of the Bafta for best game would you play the character of Commander Shepherd? Now I'm gonna stop before you get too excited . I want the exact game. Damn of those games, if you know the game , did it win best game? All right, let's have it . You're both correct. It's mass effect too . Yes . Excellent work, guys. Good doubt myself. So much better than the first one as well. Oh, amazing upgrade. And do you remember the driving sequ ences in the first game? Yeah, scarred me forever . All right, Question number . Which previous winner of the Bafta for Bameest t Gakes place on the f ictional continent of Faun , which previous winner of the Bafta for Best Game takes place on the Fictional Continent of Fairun So think what have been the massive, massive huge mega winners of the past years and which could be set . I'm not playing the continent. I beg as this. All right, here we go . I know your spot on. Boulder's gate three is the right answer. It is not Outer Wilds , Stefan . I know that's a guess. It's just a guess . Next question too much game for me, Paul does get three . You're just scared of the big games. Yes . Absolutely. I think we are. We are. Which British actor best known for playing a character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe would you find in Claire Obscure Expedition thirty three ? Which British actor best known for playing a key character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe would you find Inclair Obscure Expedition thirty three? My clue for you here is the Marvel Cinematic Universe he's in, it's primarily a TV show rather than movies . I can only think of Ben Star from Claire Obscu Oh wait wait wait but I know the guy you're thinking of. I think you don't know it to not work as well. Now what is his name? All right, shall we have the answers? We have Ben Star from Stefan and Einell scribbling something out His name's on the top of my tongue and he plays the main guy in act word and he plays there ville I don't know. We stick with the circus . I might give him a half a point for saying he played Daredevil. I think that's fair. There is the answer is Charlie Cox Ballet . You remember? Don't I get like half a point as I well.'m giving you half a point. I'm giving you half a point. Also in Marvel Universe. You showed you working and I like it. Here's a black panther. So let's yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah here's the next question . Arc Raiders features a subterranean city called Toledo , but despite the name, the game doesn't take place in Spain , but it takes place in which other European country. So my question is essentially in which European country does arc raiders take place? Remember they're underground and then they go up . But which country does it take place in? I'm just thinking of the landscape and how it always looks hot when you see footage of Acras, it looks like the sun's out, it looks like it's warm . So I've gone this. Sun's out, gun's out . All right, Stephan's locked in his answer. Oh no, oh no, I don't know. Inell's gone for the hot, hot place of let me see it, Sweden . A return trip to the sunny sunny shores of Sweden, Stefan has gone for Turkey , which I'm sorry to say you're both incorrect . It's Italy. I was scared that was my second choice. And I mean it . Italy's way . Why did I go for Sweden? There's a desert, there's the second area. I don't know. I don't know . I don't know. Quizzes do mad things do I know they 're your mind. It's Allie's voice. I said it. It's too smooth. Mm , smooth. Yeah, it's like we're in pointless together, isn't it? I pray . All right, next question. We're all . I'm like, Oh snap, Allie's got this. Turns out I got this and I won't mention their name, but my co contestant did not get this. And anyway, a lovely time. Nice to meet you Richard. It was great. It was a great day. Great day out. Blue Prince originally planned to use which of the following titles before plucking for blue prints. Okay multiple choice . Bequest , request chamber or anti chamber . So you can have request, request, chamber or anti chamber or was the blueprints . So Stefan's gone for chamber, Inel's gone for request . The answer was Bequest. Your inner both Both wrong, but amazingly, I don't blame you, I think, because that is truly an awful name . Bequests. quest bequest, Bequest. They changed it. Yeah, blueprints is a fun pun, so they got there in the end but yeah yeah not the one. All right next question The cover artwork for Dispatch sees your character Robert Robertson III standing between two villains turned superheroes doing witch everyday activity . The cover artwork for dispatch a jokey, fun , dark, comedic superherope Ty g ame sees your main character, Robert Robertson III standing between two villains turned superheroes doing which everyday activity. Inell knows and he's very happy about it . Stefan says laund ry, but Ainel says so happily because he's right . Peing . Peeing. I knew white I could picture the white background . You're confused again, Stefan , a laundroman for a place where you please. Not the first time that is not the first time you need to work on. It's not the first time. So that's one point to why I know it is round spicy is getting spicy. This road I wish this is so good. Please find an opportunity to see Ainel's face as he got that correct. He was so happy. All right, next question . This is question eight. Nearly the end goes . Two releases from Bethesda Softworks have won the Bafta for best game in the past. Now, I say the word releases here because they released them. Okay . Two releases from Bethesda Softworks have won the Baft for Best Game in the past, for half a point each, please name both of them. These are guesses. These are guesses? Sometimes and I truly believe this in a quiz, you just need a guess . You need a couple of rounds where it's like oh this one Okay , all right here we go. INL has gone for Skyrim and Fallout four as has Stefan . You are both half right fallout for won best game, but I believe if I remember correctly Skyrim came out the same year as Portal two , which means it did not win in a scandaling shock . The correct answer was Dishonored . Oh , so you get half a point each there . That's another thing I love in my quizzes is hearing people go all right, question number. Stuff and was that that one? Ski knows is dishonored. Was that not too big enough a game for you? All right . Indiana Jones in The Great Circle is the final video game credit of which late great actor, perhaps best known for his work in the Candyman and Final Destination films , as well as playing Venom in Marvel's Spider Man two. I'm going to give you a hint here. He has an iterative name i. e. the first letter of his first name is the same as the first letter of his second name. So Indiana Jones in the Great Circle is the final video game cred it of which Leg Great Actor . He also played Venom in Marvel's Spider Man two. I'm like myself. Yeah, I'm out . I'm out . I don't have it. I think it's definitely an IL's head It is. It's definitely I've got one . Did you write Tony? Yes . That's a study, right? I'm going to give you half a point for that. The answer is Tony Tod Tony Tod I'm generous with my half points, but I think if you were a pub quiz and you had a good few minutes to think it out you'd have got it out, I think. I'd be . All right . Final question . Three games potentially four , you'll see , within the rogue like genre have won the BAFTA for best game in the past . I only want you to say two of them for half a point each . Three maybe four games within the rogue like genre have won the Bafta for best game in the past, name two of them for half a point each . I think I've got all three . All right. You ain't getting bonus points. Lex Daniel bonus points? Well, let's tell you now it's pretty tight. He asked for two . All right . Ooh, this is spicy . Inell wrote Belatro and Vampire Survivors, Stephan wrote Belatro, Vampire Survivors and Hades . The correct answer could have been Outer Wilds if you really stretch it Vampire Survivors correct , that's half a point. Hades correct, half a point. So Stefan's God's full point . Or you could have had returnal and either did not win. The latter did not win. Ah , it won Lord instead of it but maybe he didn't win the big one. I don't think it won best game. Ben Ben Stark keeps coming up a lot in this quiz 'cause I remember him going up with it when he was dressed as the clown, wasn't he? Yeah, I don't believe that was something else media game entirely. Yeah, that was an award . It won the Debut Game Award . It was nominated for best game, but the top prize that night went to Astro Bob. So you know when I said I had all three I didn't meet I didn't alright you still get a point . We have let me do some maths one second . Yeah carry the two . This is how you're feel, I I' knowm, feeling quite stressed you had a really good last round and I was terrible. I was thinking that but Allie looks like he's doing long division so yeah yeah he's sweating as not 'cause of the heat. You sweating more than me look at this, brother. Blue is a bold's choice. Oh no , I forgot Ali was coming. Here's what we've got . And I heard I got the master wrong and there's a good chance I got it wrong and so people please tell me I got it wrong . I think I've got this right with seventeen point five points that's our second place and eighteen point five for our first place. Stefan Powell. That is victorious. Come on, makes me feel good because we had this little quiz going on all year and I felt really bad. I thought that the algorithm has been helping me, but actually it's okay. I've got to say up top , there's significant chance I've got the maths wrong here. I believe even if I'm out by half a point, Stefan is still our winner. I think it was here very, very close around . It was that it was down to the why . It was just Hades. I think there might have been the difference. I think Hades, whatever the weather, Hades is the winner, and also, let's be honest, I know I'll give you a couple of half points being a bit cheeky, I think. So I think whether I've got the numbers exactly on or not . I appreciate it. Look at this garbage. You're still our winner tonight, Stefan. I think I'm very impressed because you pulled that back from the brink. That was a bit touch and go at one point. Yeah. I appreciate it. Well, look at this now. It's been an absolute joy having you with us. It's been a real laugh. Like we were saying while you were off getting your note pad. If you get a chance to go and watch one of Allie's quizzes live, if you're into your pop culture and films, you have to do it. The man is a genius of coming up with quizzes. The questions are so like they're gettable but not obvious ly really fun. So thanks for coming on. I'll be back with a little tour in September so if you don't follow me already on Instagram or whatever I'd be grateful because that's where I talk about it. I've been taking a little break for now doing things like this, but I'll be back in September with more stuff going up and down the country. My final question, which is just a bit of fun, not for points, but which the following quotes would you not hear in Hell Dversi II . How about a nice cup of liberty tea ? How do you like the taste of freedom or say hello to death? Ooh. The last one. The last one I'm thinking. Yeah. I know it's Defan knows because we played it enough that it gets seating to our brains. Yes, say hello to Death. Is it going to be in hell I was three, I believe? Yeah, it should have been in that. Should have. Bali look, it's been a joy. Thank you very much for being with us. We're looking forward to having you back on with us again just to get into all the other things gaming. So you do follow Ali and in September go and see one of his quizzes 'cause they're wicked.
