What game characters will be chosen for the business team?
Hello, fellow gamers, and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. It's time to dust off those resumes, don your khakis and polo shirts, and review the company manual, because today we're competing head-to-head to draft the best team of video game characters to start a company. But first, some introductions are in order. I am your host, Josh. And joining me, he is the CEO of his own company, but he's not quite sure what an accountant and a manager do. It's Ryan.
All I know is my boss is a jerk. Yes. She's got a lot of rules, man.
Oh, Sarah doesn't listen to this, does she? No, not anymore.
Okay, good.
Sorry. You know I love you, Sarah. Gosh, no. And joining us, he may love Disney, Nintendo, and other mega corporations, but at least he doesn't love Ubisoft. It's John.
I have to tell you guys, I feel so supremely confident in this episode. You know who else felt confident?
Ace on the indie episode.
Or, hey, our buddy DK Matt on the wrestling episode. How many people have thought, this is my wheelhouse.
It's my wheelhouse.
And then they get smoked in these drafts, man.
I do have to bow to your guys' experience. You might have me in the experience. I hope we snake one of his, Josh. Either one of us. Oh, yeah. I've got two that I'm worried about, for sure.
Oh, man. All right. So, listen. Welcome in, first of all, everybody. We have a very fun episode for you. We love these drafts, dude. These are kind of like, it's just a fun, dumb thing that we do. We try to find the silliest, just stupid ideas, and then we kind of go head-to-head with each other to draft these teams. to put together whatever the topic is. And honestly, man, these wind up being so much fun. We have challenged people, listeners of the show, fans of the show, guests that we've had on and things like that. And I say it all the time. Everybody thinks like, oh, this is going to be so easy until you get sniped or somebody steals your pick or you're like, dude, I should have taken that guy.
And now you start tilting and everything falls apart at that point, man. And so these are always a really good time. This one, Ryan, you came up with this idea, man. I don't know if you were feeling businessy one day or what, but you were like, dude, let's make a company and you got to use video game characters for it. So the rules of this draft are we have to draft a CEO. an accountant, a manager, and then two just general workers. And however you want to spin those positions is up to you. We are not building any specific corporation or business geared towards something. So there's some leeway there on what you want to build out as well. Uh, I have a good list that I have put together that I am rather excited about. There are a couple characters.
I'm like, dude, I better not. They can't snipe me on this, but you know, this is going to be a neat one because listen, We have always tried to make it where we can't just pick Lara Croft, Kratos, Master Chief, and some of these most iconic people. And this draft, I'll be honest, I'm not seeing it, man. So we don't have to ban any picks. We don't have to do any of that. But creativity is absolutely going to come into play on this one. So we're going to get to that in just a second. But, oh, my goodness, boys, do we have some people to thank today. I mean, listen, we always say, hey, you know, we we need the support of our listeners. People can sign up to support this podcast and keep it going. And one of the ways that we say thank you is a shout out on the show.
And we got some people to shout out, man. This is this has been an epic week for us. So a big thank you to Brett Hutchinson, El Capo de Soldati and Mike Germainio, who all signed up for rare status. We have DaZombieTrick, who signed up for epic status. And then somehow, some way, two of our longtime listeners, awesome members of our community, realized that we had spots open in our legendary tier, which we did not even know were open yet. Speaking of sniped.
Who gets the CEO position in the video game character draft?
Yeah. Good job guys.
And so, I mean, listen, we love you gents, but a huge thank you to hypnotic pyro and Panzer Faust Ali for signing up for legendary status. Yeah. And, and listen, a deal is a deal. The perks remain. We, we said long ago that if you signed up legendary, you got to hijack a host and make one of us play a game of your choosing.
