I'm Andy Cortez and I'm joined by SnowBikeMike. Andy, what video game do you love right now? Tears of Metal. Okay. Greg got me all into Tears of Metal. Wow, I like that. I like that. Got to the second boss twice. Got dominated the first time. The second time, I was so close. It's a really, really fun video game. What about you, Mike?
Celeste. Oh, nice. I'm playing Celeste right now. Finished the main story. Now I'm over on the B-sides collecting some berries, having a great time.
What an amazing experience Celeste is. Celeste is one of the GOATs. That's like, when I think of indie game Mount Rushmores, Celeste would be up there for me. Celeste is going to be up there for you?
Can you name me one more? Probably Hollow Knight. Oh, I like that.
Yeah.
You round it out, give me another one.
Super Meat Boy. Oh, okay. In terms of like, you know, the OG, you know, I think of any of the games on Indie Game, the movie way back in the day.
You got a fourth one?
Give me one more.
Rogue Legacy. Yeah, I'd probably have to, I mean, Binding of Isaac, maybe.
A Limbo.
Limbo. Now, like Mount Rushmore, we always go with like the what's foundational. Yeah. But it's also like, well, do you also give some of your personal picks in there? Because inside would be there for me.
That's why I'm letting you. That's why I'm letting you.
It's a big mountain. We're putting more on the side. Okay. Yeah, we're carving more in there, Mike. We're going to expand Mount Rushmore. Yeah. Everybody get ready. If you're watching live, be a part of the show by super chatting on youtube.com forward slash kind of funny games and let us know what's on your indie game Mount Rushmore. We couldn't do this without our producers on patreon.com forward slash kind of funny. So thank you to Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, Delaney the Psalm Twining, and Lax Nomad. I want to talk about the banner week we had last week before getting into the show. Okay, give me a couple highlights. Well, it was a banner week for pre-recorded content. Oh, we had Ray Narvaez here of twitch.tv forward slash Ray and youtube.com forward slash Ray Narvaez Jr.
Or no, it's Ray LMAO. You can just find Ray Narvaez. And we pre-recorded two episodes of Game Showdown with him. Okay. Amazing episodes. Yes. So damn entertaining. And then we pre-recorded an episode of In Review because we are starting Resident Evil, the movies, In Review.
One of my favorite movie franchises.
I'd never seen any of them. We had to pre-record it because Greg's going to be gone or Greg is gone. And wow.
You're about to go on a roller coaster.
Just a stunning experience that movie was. You're about to go on an epic roller coaster ride. Holy cow. I just, I didn't know. Like I knew from a couple clips and I would see stuff on the internet, the laser room scene. I'd already seen that. Fantastic. But wow, just like they let anybody act back in the day. It's just really stunning.
They got a cast. Michelle Rodriguez is in it. Mila Djokovic, she becomes the household name because of that. The Joker. You know, I think she, oh, that's Kate Beckinsale, who then does Underworld.
Yeah, different movie, different franchise. We were going back and forth at that time. And Jovovich.
Jovovich.
Jovovich, yeah.
Well, she was fantastic.
She's not out there getting MVP many times.
Her and, of course, Angelina Jolie, childhood icons of mine for playing those roles. Now, you named two actors. Yeah, but that's Tomb Raider and, of course, Resident Evil. Fantastic movies back in the day for childhood, Mike.
So, Michelle Rodriguez, Mila Jovovich.
