[B]

What a tease with that Rockstar story.

[A]

You know, I. Story number three, you would think that that Rockstar exploding would make it to story number one. But it was a small explosion, okay. They figured it out.

[B]

You start, you show that before an episode and. And then you hit with like the intro song of the episode of the TV show and you're like, whoa, I'm here.

[A]

Yeah, it was like, well, I got in. What happened? Yeah, that was a boiler room apparently.

[B]

Gotcha.

[A]

Happens. Have you ever like experienced an explosion like in your vicinity or heard one and go, no.

[B]

When me and Mike were riding lime scooters in L. A after summer game fest and people were popping fireworks, but it. We thought we were being bombed. Oh, we thought LA was under attack. Like it was that loud with how much the sound reverberated around the tall buildings and it was legitimately horrifying.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then it turned and then we saw like people running from the scene and we're like, what is going on? It was very scary.

[A]

There's nothing scarier than the sound of like a legit explosion.

[B]

It was a deep rumble. This wasn't like a pat, like a high treble hype. It was like a.

[A]

The base.

[B]

Like one of those things.

[A]

When I was, when I lived in Seattle, maybe the first month or two of living in Seattle, there was an, a gas leak explosion that happened down the street from me, like in a restaurant down the street from me at like 2 or 3am in the morning. And it was one of those ones where like it woke me up. I heard it, it was like. And I, I wake up and like I can kind of like feel the house like rumble a little bit. And I was like, what was that? At first I was like, was that th. Was that lightning? Like, did something get struck or something? And then I was like, maybe it was a car accident because I started hearing police sirens come through. I'm like, what the is happening? And then, like, I opened up Twitter, and people that were neighborhoods away, like, miles away, were like, yo, did y'.

[B]

All.

[A]

Did y' all hear that? What happened?

[B]

I didn't know until the morning pops up.

[A]

Like, I came into work the next morning. They're like, y' all hear about the restaurant that exploded? I was like, did I hear about it, y'? All? I heard it. That was crazy.

[B]

I experienced quite the explosion of emotions over the weekend. Beat Near Automata ending B. Oh, this game is so much better. And it was already hyped up than. More than I could have imagined. Yeah, this game is so much better than what the hype was.

[A]

Like, there's a reason why I ride or die for Near Automata.

[B]

Like, and there was people in the chat that were like, finally somebody. A kind of funny Yoko Tara pill. Then I was like, no, no, no, no. Blessing loves Nero.

[A]

Yeah. Like, I get shamed, though, for loving Naruto because y' all think I like it because the titties. And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. There's a story.

[B]

Like it for the booty.

[A]

Yeah. No, I like it when. I like it for the gameplay. But then, like, the stories, I texted.

[B]

Tim more than I've ever texted in my life about this video game. It's like, tell Gia to delay things a couple of weeks or whatever. We need you to, like. You will Tim love Near Automata, this video game. Oh, my God, man. I cannot believe it.

[A]

Tim will love it. I knew you would love it.

[B]

Barrett.

[A]

Barrett would love this game. Yeah, Barrett would absolutely adore.

[B]

Started it so many times. I just need. I need to get past that, like, first three hours again.

[A]

Just get it.

[B]

I'll do.

[A]

I. I'm so good. Andy was hyping this up to me.

[B]

Yesterday after his come down from ending B, and I told. I was like, hey, I'll.

[A]

I'll put it next on the list.

[B]

Because right now, over the weekend, I started Control.

[A]

Hell yeah. Hell, yeah. Listen, we all play Near Automata, and then we all just. We. We all play Near Replicant as well. Let's all play Near Replica.

[B]

This shit's gonna be top 20, easy. Oh, in all time on my list.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Yeah. Oh, you look at it that much, Dude, I am.

[A]

Can't wait for you to finish.

[B]

So enamored with this video game. It is so impressive and creative.

[A]

Do you know what I'm enamored with? Final Fantasy 10. Oh, I've been playing that. And somebody in chat mentioned it sounds like I'm brewing on a cold. I'm coming off of a cold. Out of. I had a cold late last week. That was. That's why I wasn't in on Thursday and Friday.

[B]

That's why you weren't here for Pico Park.

[A]

I know. And I'm still pissed off y' all played Pico park without me. Because at the meeting, everybody was like, what happens if Tim's gone? What happens if Tim's gone? We'll delay people park for Tim. All of a sudden, I get sick. Y' all still play people park.

[B]

I was with you. I was like, damn. Like, we're. We're still missing.

[A]

We talked about, like, we only play Pico park when you're all here.

[B]

And then what? Bless doesn't count.

[A]

Yeah. It's like, what Crazy. First of all, me and Tim, I feel like bring equal things to Pico Park 2. You know what I mean?

[B]

Like, if.

[A]

If Mike was gone or if Roger was gone, then, yeah, let's delay Pico Park 2. I feel like me and Tim bring, like, the same amount of effort and content to Pico Park. So what is. Why do we delay for Tim and don't delay for blessing?

[B]

It is pretty fucked up.

[A]

It is pretty fucked up. But anyway, I've gotten over.

[B]

It was good stuff. It was good stuff.

[A]

I'm glad you got Joey in because actually, that sounds like good content.

[B]

Yeah, it was a great time.

[A]

It was a Great Final Fantasy 10. Oh, my God. Here's the thing, right? I'm told I'm so sold on this game I've just finished for people who are watching, listening. I got past luca, the LUCA chapter. And so, like, I'm at the very start of the next chapter. I haven't touched the next chapter.

[B]

But.

[A]

But in this game, they introduced this thing called Blitzball. Andy. And when I tell you I know about Blitzball is some fucking bullshit. I can't believe they would interrupt such a magnificent video game. Such a fucking horseshit mode.

[B]

Whoa.

[A]

And it's not even. Here's the thing. People are going to get mad.

[B]

This is a hot. This is the hottest of takes.

[A]

People are going to get mad because genuinely, I fucking hate Blitzball. Now. Did I read the tutorial? The answer is no.

[B]

Were you on your phone during the tutorial?

[A]

No, I was.

[B]

No.

[A]

It wasn't even that I'm on my phone. It's that they interrupt this game that is going real well. Stories being delivered to you at such a brisk pace. There's so much happening. The combat's fun. I love the characters. Oh, Lulu. Salute to Lulu. And then all of a sudden they're like, all right, we're going to play some blitzball. Here's a glossary.

[B]

Ah, click.

[A]

There's like 10 menu items. Once you click in the first menu item, here's a two minute tutorial on how to swim around. All right, you finished that. All right, now here's the next one on how to pass. And I'm like, brother, I am. I'm playing a JRPG right now. I'm not going to sit down and read your fucking encyclopedia right now.

[B]

I'm on vacation. I'm not like, why are you forcing me to play cricket right now? I don't know how to play.

[A]

Here's the thing, right? Blitzball could be a 10 out of 10 fucking game. But like, imagine you're playing Nier Automata and all of a sudden the game stops. They're like, now learn how to play Starcraft. And it's like, no, I'm not going to learn how to play Starcraft right now. I'm Automata. I'm playing Mario 64. Why are you interrupting me So I can learn how to play Pokemon Puzzle League? It doesn't fucking make sense.

[B]

Did you feel the momentum, like severely drops off because of that?

[A]

Well, here's the thing, yes, but to their credit, right, like literally, like right after the Bliss Ball segment, all these motherfuckers, okay, they fucking lock in all the dopest shit happens, man. I fucking love the segments of this game after Blitzball. It's so good. I can't wait to get back. I can't wait. I also can't wait to talk about video game news because remember, this is kind of funny Games Daily. If you're watching live, you can be a part of this show by super chatting in over on YouTube.com kind of funny games. Just like a few people have already done. Kofi super chatted in and then retracted the message.

[B]

Oh, good.

[A]

So I don't know what they said, but shout out to you, kofi, I hope everything's okay. I hope you're good. And then Mr. Nice Guy Ryan writes in and says, in my mind, GTA 6 is delayed another five years because the office next to the boiler room has had the whole game on one floppy, floppy disk. I am broken. Listen, I, I had that thought. I was like, what's the craziest thing that could happen with an explosion at Rock?

[B]

This shit's got to be backed up in 20 different places.

[A]

That's thing the cloud exists.

[B]

They have a copy of this thing. Like, you know, where they. Where they hid Magneto in X Men, you know, like way deep underground. They got a copy of GTA 6 down there.

[A]

Yeah, exactly. You had nothing to worry about. We couldn't do this without our producers. Over on patreon.com kindafunny so thank you to Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster and Delaney the Psalm Twining. Thank you for now. Let's begin with what is and forever will be the Roper Report. It's time for some news. We have six stories today, Starting with our number one, Marathon releases March 5th. This is from the Marathon dev team over at Bungie.net we're excited to share some big news for Marathon. Marathon releases on March 5, 2026 on Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series X s. Preorders are available now. Our latest gameplay trailer introduces one of the many characters you'll meet on Tau Ceti. Gantry. The Mida Faction agent factions and their agents are one of the ways you'll experience the story and world of Marathon. And as you complete contracts for each of the six factions, you'll learn more about their identities, motivations and rivalries as you work together to uncover the mysteries of Tau Ceti's fate.

[B]

I think. I think Gantry is the name of the person. Oh, it felt like you're going City, State.

[A]

I thought it was like the whole thing. Yeah, I thought Gantry was like the neighborhood or something.

[B]

What part of Gantry are you from? Tau Ceti. Oh, nice.

[A]

I live in the mission, you know, I thought it was like one of them ones. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay. You're meeting Gantry the Mighty for the manufacturing agent. Combining world design, gameplay and discoverable narrative to build a rich, living world to discover is key to Marathon's DNA. Completing contracts, finding narrative items and other achievements will unlock entries in your Codex, which you can view outside of your runs. As you collect the colony's lost audio and text logs, stumble across cryptic graffiti, dig into abandoned colony systems and aid factions in pursuit of their various goals. You'll begin a journey into the unknown that is only just beginning. Today, we're also excited to announce the English language voice cast of Marathon at launch. Marathon will feature the voices of. They list. A bunch of voices I just want to shout out a handful that are close to my heart. You got Samantha Bayardt, you got Roger Clark, Jennifer English, which means it's going to be a game of your content. Dave Fenoy, Erica Lindbeck, Neil Newbin, the Homie, Ben Starr and Elias two FXes. I actually don't know how to pronounce two facts. Thank you. Who is my guy from Deus? Exactly. Pre ordering Marathon grants you access to additional rewards including weapon, cosmetics, emblem, and background for Marathon at launch, plus rewards for Destiny 2 linked to your Bungie.net account. The standard edition of the game will be 39.99 $40.

[B]

That sounds about right.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That's what I think we were all kind of assuming.

[A]

That seems like kind of the standard for PlayStation multiplayer thing. But then also extraction shooter, I feel like that is kind of that sweet spot. Yeah.

[B]

Well, I think once Arc Raiders sort of, you know, kind of created the mold for that price point. Also Jennifer English kind of like Zoe Saldana, like, wherever she is. It's just. That game's gonna make money. I think this game will sell not anywhere near the. The amount of Arc Raiders, but I think the success of Arc Raiders has really kind of opened up a neat little lane here for. For Marathon.

[A]

What are your hype levels? As somebody who checked out the Marathon Alpha. What do they call it?

[B]

Yeah, what they called it.

[A]

You checked, you've played a little bit of this game back in. In spring, the unfinished version. What are. Where are your hype levels now for it?

[B]

So I was already excited to just play this new game when it came out, just because it's a new Bungie game and I already played it back in the day, but it wasn't until this weekend when before I hopped on Marvel Rivals. And this is all. Take this with a grain of salt, because this is all coming from a standpoint of I don't really fuck with expansion with the Extraction shooters in the long term. It's a game that I will play for maybe a week or two, and then I will likely fall off, much like what happened with Arc Raiders where it's like I enjoyed for a while and then the luster kind of wears off and I was like, already kind of, you know, we'll see what happens when this game comes out. But then it wasn't until that runner shells video that somebody in the Twitch chat was like, oh, can you. You gotta watch this. And so I was like, all right, I'll give it a watch. And it. It got me really pumped. It looked. The game looks awesome. The different variety types of the different runners they've been introducing seem really cool. And I'm. I. I just. I love the world and the design and the style of everything. And some of the weapons that were being shown off seemed really, really neat. And again, all of that is sort of wrapped in this larger thing of like, yeah, I still don't love Extraction Shooters, but I will play it for a bit and then probably fall off.

[A]

And what don't you love about Extraction Shooters?

[B]

I just don't think it's the style of game for me. Like I, I love a pure PvP game or a pure, or a pure PvE game. I don't. It's the mix of it. I Now that being said, I was mentioning on one of the gamescast recently, I think when we were talking about, you know, our hype levels for Duskbloods, I think it was Friday's gamescast maybe and talked about how, you know, I, I like getting invaded in something like Dark Souls or, or, or Elden Ring or even when we were playing. I am blanking on Arcane Death Loop. Death Loop.

[A]

Oh yeah.

[B]

Like I, I, I like that as a feature where it's kind of a randomized thing that doesn't happen all the time. But I think just the core PvE VP thing is not quite my jam. I'd prefer just 100 of the, you know, of your work in one way or 100 in the other. I don't really feel like mixing things works out too great because then I start to see where the maybe lack of resources weren't put into the PvE stuff. You know what I mean? And that, that does kind of bum me out because I still see this world and I've said it a million times, but anytime I see a video from this, I go, man, if this is just a, a cool single player.

[A]

Game, it's so funny. But the art style, because here's the thing, right? AR Raiders. I enjoyed AR Raiders even though I fell off of Arater hard, but I.

[B]

Really enjoyed my time with it.

[A]

Yeah, I think there's something about hopping into this world and it feeling like, all right, if I see like another crew or whatever, like maybe we can make friends with them. Like we're all not at odds with each other necessarily, but we could be at odds with each other. I think there's something about that gameplay style that feels exciting and fresh and it kind of invokes a little bit of battle royale to me. But even in Battle Royale, it's like that's PvP. At the end of the day, we're going to kill those people. We're going to want to kill those people eventually. But there's something about the makeup of Arc Raiders that works for me. But I think the art style and the world of Arc Raiders Also contributes to that. To where, okay, this is a post apocalyptic world. Okay. There are evil robots out there. There's something. When I look at Marathon where it's not that. Right. But I so want it to be an arena shooter. And I know that's not what it is. It doesn't want to be. And like, I shouldn't want that out of it, out of this Marathon game. But the art style doesn't give me what I got from Arc Raiders where it is. All right, I know what this is. This is. It's not the last list, but it's kind of the last one. You know what I mean? It's like, all right, you got to be aware of other scavengers marathon. I feel like it'll take my brain some adjusting with the art style, but.

[B]

It might be the first person shooter aspect of it also.

[A]

Yeah, there might be that too.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What was that game that you loved from last year that was a roguelite first person shooter with also kind of like a vibrant Void Breaker. Void Breaker. I look at Marathon and I think about Void Breaker a little bit. That said, though, like, I'm excited to give this a shot. The thing that gives me more pause and like, this is something that might just be inherent to the style of game that it is is like, when they talk about, you know, collecting your colony's lost audio and text logs and stumble across cryptic graffiti, it feels like they're doing a lot of environmental storytelling, like storytelling through discovering things and picking up things and reading things, which works for so many games. And I love that out of so many games. But I. I think I'm. I'm having the. A little bit of what you're having as far as preference, I guess, right. Of like, if I'm playing this multiplayer thing, I don't know if I'm going to be locked in into paying attention to some of the stuff that they're using. Like the. Do I want to listen to an audio log when I'm listening to my homie yap about the latest episode or something? You know, like, it's hard for me to kind of like mold those two things together.

[B]

It works in the best case scenario of an E3 summer game fest presentation.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Where you and your homies are walking around. But. And. But you're so locked into the story and. And you could show that in a video and make it go like, wow, that could be me and my friends. But that's not going to be the case. You know, even in something like Destiny, when the cutscene is playing. You know, you're usually just around and like, making jokes or whatever. And I, I think I got kind of pumped up for hearing about what the. The end game of this is where they, you know, there will be moments where there are. There is some puzzle solving and there is some raid feeling, some sort of raid mechanics, but not quite there. I would say more like, you know, I'm not trying to say expect a destiny raid, but I, I love the idea of them getting more creative with the world and kind of making the most out of it, because I don't. I. At the end of the day, it's still like, all right, I'm gonna get, you know, third partied by some random squad and I'm gonna get annoyed. And then that one robot that I was fighting is going to be shooting me too. And I'm gonna be like this, like, sets in there. And. Yeah, so this is something I, I, I want to try out and I will be playing. I just don't think I'll be playing it for that much because it's just.

[A]

Do you think the world's gonna play? Do you think this is a game that's going to hit for the general audience?

[B]

I, I think that, I think Arc Raiders has really opened up people to the idea of this being a genre that's here to stay. I think that the timing's also pretty decent. I think Arc Raiders still hot, but you may, if you released a month after Arc Raiders releases and it's the hottest thing on the planet. Awful idea. I think if I'm looking at this from the optimist perspective, you've had some time where, you know, arc raiders still coming out with content, but there may still be things that the community goes, man, they never fix this, or this is still broken. What the hell? There may be some frustration there, and that's me looking at it from the most optimistic standpoint because I still think Arc Raiders will dominate this game.

[A]

In terms of numbers, Arc Raiders feels like the number one. Arc Raiders feels like it's, it's not even close.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But it feels like it's not an option for even this to try and come through and take that spot. Like, I don't.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Me. If I'm looking at it as like a hierarchy.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Like arc Raiders, I guess, is prime pubg. And this might come through and be Apex Legends. Like, I think that might be kind of the comparison there. And like, honestly, that's fantastic. If this game ends up being that, that's me being generous to Marathon It's.

[B]

Battlefield to War Zone, where I think when Call of Duty, Black Ops 7 is struggling and Battlefield comes out and it's this breath of fresh air and everybody goes, oh, my God, yes, this is what we wanted. And we're catching Call of Duty at their weak point. At their weakest. Right now, this is, you know, one of the weakest entries they've done. A lot of people are unhappy with it. People are doing graphics comparisons saying, man, Black Ops 2 looks just as good. You know, there's like a lot of negativity on code. And then eventually things start going back to COD anyway. And, you know, you see the player count drop off of Battlefield 6 a bit more. And then more people are playing Arc raiders in Battlefield 6, which is, you know, really, really surprising on platforms like Steam and stuff like that. But I do think that there will be the hardcore, dedicated Bungie audience that will play this. And I think someone like Bungie is the only one who could even try to, you know, get a. I'm thinking of the Backstreet Boys documentary where they're like, you know, Backstreet spec. If somebody's gonna make the second Backstreet Boys, you want it to be you. So the same person made in sync. Like, you don't want Pepsi to come along and sort of take shit from you. Why not you be the competitor sort of thing.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I feel like at this moment, you could kind of get the close. You could be the Pepsi too. What, our creators?

[A]

Yeah, you know, Coca Cola. I want to bring in some super chats for you. We got one for Marcus Daniels who says, Ben Starr out here gunning for Kevin Conroy's throne. I feel like Ben Starr's out here gunning for Nolan north in. In Troy Baker's throne. This man's everywhere.

[B]

He's everywhere. Can't avoid him.

[A]

Can't avoid him. I'm trying to see if there's any more marathon related things now. We got some birthday taxes, though. Shout out to Ace Boogie Games who writes in and says, birthday tax turned 40 boys had a good run.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Listen, it's not over here. I mean, it's over soon for you, but it's not over now. You know what I mean? You got a couple years left. Oh, we got one that just came in from Clawmaster who says, I would argue that thanks to arc Raiders that people are open to play games like Marathon and other shooters of the ilk. A rising tide lifts all ships. And I agree with that.

[B]

Right.

[A]

That's to the point you're making, Andy, and I totally agree that I think Arc Raiders has made people made extraction shooter not as bad of a word.

[B]

It hasn't made it this weird niche game genre anymore. This, this thing that is unfamiliar to everybody. Shout out to Micah Parsons, formerly the Cowboys, now in the packers, who tweeted out recently, like man, kind of sucks that you can't just go into the Arc Raider store and like buy stuff like, like where you could buy like 2k coins or whatever. You know what I mean? Like he was just trying to, you know, let me just pay to win. I. I don't got a whole lot of time to play. I just want to get in there and be competitive. Yeah. But yeah, I think that it's. It's the game that has finally made the genre like this. I wouldn't say household name, but it's getting there. Like it's in the same.

[A]

It's like the same way where I think when we announce, they say we is that I'm out here announcing games. But when a new game's announced and it's a multiplayer, either free to play or it has one of the buzzwords, right. Extraction or like whatever words they use to describe high guard, people automatically want to hate the thing.

[B]

Asymmetrical. Yeah.

[A]

People like want to jump to hate. And like I understand parts of that.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Because we associate that with being money grubbing.

[B]

Right.

[A]

We associate that with microtransactions and all this stuff that we absolutely hate. And I totally understand that. But I will say like I think to the extraction thing, it is very much. Everybody will put whatever game is in the same bucket. Or at least pre Arc Raiders it was. If you announced an extraction shooter, for some reason, I won't even say. For some reason people will just say, hey, this thing is going to work out. It's going to fail. It's going to suck. We don't want this. Take it back, stomp it on the ground, fucking tear it into a million pieces and make Uncharted or something.

[B]

Yeah. I think Arc Raid is one of those surprises like Helldivers 2 where when we previewed Helldivers 2 it was like, hey, this is kind of cool. But it feels like another one of these so far. And it wasn't until the game came out and exploded. You're like, oh, this is a big deal. And it isn't just aliens, rogue incursion or whatever the fuck. You know, whenever one of these sort of co op shooters comes out and it's just another one of those. And Helldivers ends up breaking the mold and like, hey, we're a new game that's kind of here to stay. I would have predicted that Arc Raiders would not have like succeeded because of 40 bucks genre that isn't, you know, crazy popular right now. This isn't something people are used to that might turn people off. And the free to play market is still so dominant, you know.

[A]

Yeah, I hope. Yeah, my thing is I hope Marathon is. I hope it's great. I hope like, I'm hoping for like the over of it comes out and it does enough of what it needs to do. I think. I don't think there's any way that it does everything it needs to do. Both because of the kind of game that it is, but then also it's Bungie. And I feel like Bungie always has to like stumble a little bit at launch and then get their shit together through updates and figuring things out. And so I think that's going to. That's going to happen with Marathon. But I hope they're able to get to a place where it's like, all right, this is good enough that we can get to the place to get to the taking king of whatever Marathon is. You know what I mean? And I hope the same for High Guard. I hope High Guard comes out and surprises that game's out like next week.

[B]

I think it's like 10 days or something.

[A]

I want that game to be good. People have been hating on High Guard like crazy. And again, I get it.

[B]

There was that fake tweet.

[A]

Which fake?

[B]

It was a person who put out a tweet with a High Guard in their library and said game sucks ass. And it looked like it was a Steam library screenshot. And it said hours played, 6.7 or something. Yeah. And everybody believed this tweet for so dumb for about a week.

[A]

Who is he playing with?

[B]

Testing? Who knows. Yeah, but they. People believe this tweet for a while. And then, you know, the guy was like, you know, you. You know, game sucks, whatever. And then it ended up being like, well, that's not. The people found out. That's not the icon in the steam back end. Like you're using the wrong icon. Shit's fake. You know, it's just kind of a fake tweet for clout or whatever. And yeah, shit like that sucks. You know, the Internet is in real life and a lot of people don't even use Twitter anyway, so who cares? But it's little things like that that I'm like, oh, man, they could have used it without that.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, God.

[B]

Now, here's my wish. Here's my wish.

[A]

Give me your wish, Andy.

[B]

Magical genie on the magical game genie, I'm here to make you a magical.

[A]

Gaming wish come true. Don't fuck me, don't fuck me, don't fuck me.

[B]

That's always wish number one. Yeah. Wish number two. Wish number two. I want Marathon to be so successful that they pull a titanfall. You know, Titanfall 2 comes out and they're like, hey, let's give you a campaign now.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

At first, Marathon to be so successful that it's like we're working on something marathon. It's not PvP. We're working on something in the background. Stay tuned. And I want this to be a couple years from now. Whatever. I just want a single player, like, game in this universe. This set, in this world.

[A]

I mean, I like the art style.

[B]

I want to create my own room.

[A]

Whoever made this art style, pay them some money, you know what I mean? They did pay them some money.

[B]

I think they.

[A]

Whoever made this art style. Oh, they locked in, you know what I mean? That person should be getting jobs and getting paid.

[B]

I think there was.

[A]

They did come to a.

[B]

There was an agreement.

[A]

Whoever made this art style that was up to their satisfaction, whoever worked at Bungie and cooked this art style from scratch. Wow.

[B]

People on the team, they're watching this on a private jet right now.

[A]

Man. I love the Marathon art style. Let's move on to story number or actually, before we get to store number two, I got one more shout out for store number one. A related thing. A limited edition Marathon PS5 DualSense controller and Pull Pulse Elite headset are coming. I have a link. Yeah, there we go. Barrett, I like the idea of these custom PS5 dual sense controllers. I feel like usually they look good. I don't like how this one looks. And I think it's. Honestly, I think it's just the Marathon logo on the touchpad.

[B]

Oh, it was there.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because I was about to say I just hate whenever the logo was on the thing.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. On the touch.

[B]

Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

I think that's the only thing I really don't like, but I think that.

[B]

That logo is, like, now, now. I don't love that, but I want that style more and more. I don't want a fucking image of Mario on my thing. I don't want an image of, like, solid snake or, you know, whatever the guy from. Because, you know there's going to be a freaking Limited edition thing for Physint. Right?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Whenever that happens by. By Kojima Productions in like six years. I don't want a picture of fucking Robert Pattinson or whatever his name was. Whatever the actor was we thought was going to be in the game. Remember the physint sort of like trailer or not the trailer, but the image. I think you're thinking of 007. No, I'm thinking of fizzing. When Kojima showed off Byzantine, it was that. It was like a little key.

[A]

Oh, the key art.

[B]

Yeah, we thought it looked like Eddie what's his face. I'm blanking on the dude's name. But when the. I don't want an image of that. I don't want an image of a character. I want it to look like it exists in the world somehow. And I like that shit more. And at least it doesn't say marathon. Like I'm okay. That logo is like, still looks like something that could be in the world. Yeah, I'll take that. You know what I mean?

[A]

You gotta do Eddie Redmayne.

[B]

That's a dude. Eddie Redman.

[A]

This wouldn't be a clickable episode of Gamescast, but I want to do a Gamescast where we each bring in our ugliest controllers. That's good. We each bring in like two of our ugliest controllers and try to rank them on ugliness.

[B]

That's good social content. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

I feel like there's something there because if I, if I bring in my skate controller that I always use, I'll own my Outriders controller. I have an Outriders Xbox controller.

[B]

Yeah. You really be having controllers like that. What about that Ultros one? I didn't like that Ultros.

[A]

I don't know what I did with that one. I feel like I might have that one I might have tossed into the street.

[B]

Dude, I throw a lot of controllers away. Like, I'm not gonna lie to you.

[A]

Yeah, you throw controllers away. It's like I put them in my closet.

[B]

Like I give the.

[A]

Give them to my friends.

[B]

I did a big cleaning this in my room where I was like mainly rearranging stuff. But it was like there's a lot of stuff. It's like. And I would come across like an old eight bit dough that I bought like seven years ago. And I'm looking at it and then I look at like the trash bag that I have hanging. I'm like.

[A]

Can I be. Can I be honest? I don't know if I should confess.

[B]

Wasteful.

[A]

It's bad I don't know if I should confess this. I mean, it's not as bad as being wasteful, I think. But around Christmas time, I usually do a white elephant gift exchange where I bring in all the gifts and they're all from PR packages. I do like a PR package, like some bullshit that they send and I'm like, man, I don't want these fucking socks. And like I make it range too, where in one of them it will be like a fucking controller. Everybody's excited for the controller, even if it looks ugly or it'll be like some random like, oh, here's an art book for a game that you never played or whatever. But it's a hit.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Holiday season. And as I'm not throwing it away.

[B]

Guys, a lot of them can be cool for sure. I just want to shout out Annie and bless you. Talking about the controller design. EMT Walkin Jr. The homie and Cameron Kennedy, the other homie were going back and forth on like controller design.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And Cameron like mocked these up.

[A]

See, like this is what I'm talking about when I say that sometimes these control controllers do look good. Like I love these colors that they released. What, this last week.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. So like these are based off of the, the different Hyper Pop collection. But they were theorizing like maybe this.

[A]

Was a part of the marathon thing.

[B]

At one point because it has a very like marathon coated, like, feeling to it, but they just didn't commit to it.

[A]

Yeah, I like these. I like these way better.

[B]

Yeah, the white one's just not. The white one just doesn't work with the marathon aesthetic.

[A]

Bungie, you like stealing art. Steal this from Cameron.

[B]

And then we'll get Cameron in contact with Sony so he can be satisfied with his, with his pay there.

[A]

God. Listen, we got to figure out how to meet in the middle here, right? Because I like what Cameron Kennedy's doing. We also got to figure out how to move on to story number two, which we're about to do right now. Except we're not going to do that right now because I got to tell you about patreon.com kindafunny and YouTube.com kindafunnygames where you can get the kind of funny membership which allows you to get shows and ad free.

We're back with story number two. Resident Evil, Cold Veronica Remake Reportedly planned for announce later this year. This is Tom Phillips at ign. Capcom is expected to reveal its all new Resident Evil Code Veronica remake this year, according to a fresh report. Previous reporting had pinned the still unannounced Code Veronica remake with for a 2027 release following next month's launch of Resident Evil Requiem. Now noted Resident Evil leaker Dusk Golem has said fans should expect a first look at the Code Veronica remake later in 2026. Ijan has previously verified that a new version of the game is indeed in development, while MP first has claimed that the game currently sits with a Q1 2027 launch window. Quote. No, there is not a Resident Evil 5 remake that's going to be announced this year. Dusk Gollum wrote in a post on social media. Quote, Instead, later this year, a re remake that starts with C and ends with old Veronica is going to be announced. I promise you. End quote.

[B]

You think that's a summer announcement? Summer Game Fest. That seems like a perfect kind of Capcom summer game fest thing.

[A]

Yeah, but is that too soon after Resident Evil Requiem Code Veronica smaller thing, right?

[B]

I think it's three months, four, five months after seven, eight, nine.

[A]

I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say September state of play. Oh, okay. Okay. I just.

[B]

I just really think of Capcom at Summer Game Fest as always kind of having some shit going on. Like, I think of Cap, when I think of summer, I think of Capcom.

[A]

You know what like they be. They do be hanging out in the summer. Yeah, yeah, we got fucking. What was the dinosaur? I can never remember the name of this exoprimal came out in the summer along with. What was the strategy game that was like also an action game.

[B]

Oh, strategy game. That was also an action.

[A]

You know the one. It came out like a couple years ago. It was like Path of the Goddess. That was a summer game.

[B]

It's weird because I think of. I think of SEGA for the Summer.

[A]

Street Fighter 6 came out in the summer. Now SEGA loves the like the winter time. Well, not even.

[B]

I'm just talking about like vibes and like. Oh, I think it's just presentation because.

[A]

A crazy taxi chat Sonic.

[B]

I think of Sonic.

[A]

Sonic, Summers. This is what I want from chat. Top five summer video game things.

[B]

Another terrible headline for games cast. But we should do like, what is the company that represents each season?

[A]

Yeah, like match the seasons to the publisher but like the vibe, not the game releases or the schedules or anything.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Chad, I want top five summer vibes from a game company because. Yeah, Capcom and Sega for sure. Summer Insomniac gives me summer vibes, even though I know they always release in the fall. Something about Insomniac says summer to me.

[B]

Sunset Overdrive. You know that? Overdrive.

[A]

The sun being out in Spider Man.

[B]

After you do that, Chad, then go back and watch a kind of funny podcast. Which. Which planets are these boy band members?

[A]

I vaguely remember this topic.

[B]

Saturn was Justin Timberlake.

[A]

That's crazy.

[B]

The Ring, very popular. You know, like, oh, you know.

[A]

But like, who's Earth then?

[B]

I think Earth was maybe. Maybe Nick Carter.

[A]

No shot. Yeah, no shot.

[B]

One of them got left off. I think it was Howie did Big.

[A]

Wait, are we doing in Secretary?

[B]

Specifically in Sync and Backstreet Boys.

[A]

Oh, okay. I was gonna. Because I was starting to think modern.

[B]

Because I'm like, I feel like it was just those got to be in there. It was just those bands.

[A]

Who's Pluto? JC Chase.

[B]

That may have been Chris Kirkpatrick. Possibly. Yeah. Maybe Kevin Federline.

[A]

Okay, that's a fun topic. What are we talking about? Oh, yes. Resident Evil. What's the scope of Code Veronica? I don't know shit about Code Veronica.

[B]

I. Dude, I know so little about Code Veronica for much of my youth. I thought Code Veronica was like a fan mod thing at one point. Like, I just. I never quite knew what it was. It feels like it's always on the. On the. The lower list of priority in terms of what Resident Evil fans want or talk about.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because it's not one of the code or one of the core entries, but it has one of those cult followings followings for sure.

[A]

I mean, people in Chat are saying fan favorite, the Tundra Boy 22 says it's the true re3, code Veronica's mainline. I mean, if all this is true and, you know, I can always trust Chat on everything that's exciting. Right. Like, I want. Here's my thing. Right. I feel like Resident Evil remakes have become such a staple, and whenever they run out of them, I'm going to be very sad. It's like Pokemon remakes where it's like you always got to just keep remaking.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

There's something about a remake from these series where it's like, this is just a new main series now. This is just a new staple now. Honestly, I even went, give Me Resident Evil 1 Remake, remake, remake, the remake.

[B]

I mean, we're. That's going to happen.

[A]

This is where I'm at now.

[B]

Yeah, that. I mean, well, I think mainly from the aspect of, you know, that that game got remade too early it was, it was like, you know, it's before.

[A]

They really locked in on remix.

[B]

I'm too, too young to see the stars and I'm too old to see the dinosaurs or whatever. You know what I mean? One of those sayings, you know.

[A]

Yeah, I know those things.

[B]

But yeah, it's like that game got remade ages ago when I was in middle school. Like that. Yeah. So I, I think that that one seems most likely to get a more modernized, you know, behind the back, third person. It is all the RE engine stuff that you would expect. You know, when you guys, when you.

[A]

Guys did your little gamescast on Friday, that I wasn't at all jealous that.

[B]

I was this little cute one you did little.

[A]

Your little cute cast that I really wanted to be a part of, but I was sick. When you're predicting top 10 games that were going to be on the kind of funny list, did you guys. Where did you guys put Resident Evil Requiem?

[B]

I think Mike was kind of, hey, that could be number one. And everybody was like, that's kind of crazy.

[A]

That's kind of insane. But I think we all were like.

[B]

Yeah, I think that's a safe bet of being on the list. Right? I. I think, I think we're all.

[A]

Gonna play that game.

[B]

I'm not gonna play that game.

[A]

Oh, Barry, you don't be playing Resident Evils. No, not like that. Resident Evil in the last seven years has turned into like such a special franchise to me. Which is funny because pre 20, pre re 2 remake, I couldn't give less of a. About Resident Evil.

[B]

Right.

[A]

But like between that, what.

[B]

What started it? What turned you onto it?

[A]

I think it was just re2 remake. I played that and I was like, this is one of the best video games I ever played. And then from there, like, they all kept consistent where, like, except for Re 3, but like, I didn't really care about that. Right. Like, RE3 was more of that, but it was like two hours long of a video game. Yeah.

[B]

I mean, but that's kind of. I mean that's the game.

[A]

But like RE7, when we streamed that, that was such a good fucking game then Residential Village was cool.

[B]

There hasn't been a fall off. There hasn't been.

[A]

I've not played a bad Resident Evil game.

[B]

I think that you can ask audiences and they might have their nitpicks or, you know. Yeah, the end of the. The village just becomes a first person shooter, Call of Duty style. And you know, and like I. Resident.

[A]

Evil Village is like, it's lower on my List if I'm gonna rank the Resident Evils that I have played. I. I like Resident Evil Village, but I.

[B]

Still impressive.

[A]

But still impressive. Yeah, I really, really dig Resident Evil nowadays.

[B]

It's weird that Roger and Mike don't make Barrett play Resident Evil. Well, I don't make it a part of my personality that I don't with those games.

[A]

Yeah, Bear, if you want to play it, I mean, we have a slot open. I can step down. No. Do you like whiskey? Yeah. We can pour some whiskey up for you and play some Resident evil. Like you.

[B]

YouTube have got it. Like, it's already scheduled. I think I've got something going on that day. It's my birthday month, you know, so.

[A]

Month.

[B]

It's just, you know, it's a lot going on. I don't think half the audience knows that me and Blessing even played the other Pandemic era. Yeah, that was such a good. Like, seriously, people don't even remember.

[A]

Here's what I'll say, because I played about 20 to 30 minutes of resident Evil Requiem at CAPCOM last year. When I tell you that is scary. Me and you're gonna have a time playing that, that is terrifying.

[B]

Okay? So, I mean, I'm. Look, I'm excited to take the. The Leon Kennedy portions. I'm excited to get in the first person shooting mouse and keyboard you're gonna be playing.

[A]

Oh, I was gonna play the whole thing.

[B]

I figured we swap off.

[A]

Oh, okay. I mean, I like that. Interesting.

[B]

But I would. I would have to go to the desk and keyboard mouse it. Yeah. Because I. Ideally, like, they want us to be on the couch, right? Ideally. Or yes. Maybe they put some. A couple of, like, gross pillows with pus and blood all over them and, like, try to, you know, make us dress up or whatever.

[A]

Like, why do you get to do Leon Kennedy?

[B]

I feel like you should do the other character, you know, like, what's her name?

[A]

Grace.

[B]

Sure. You know, I feel like you should be doing such a shooter, though.

[A]

Bless.

[B]

Like, it's. Yeah, I've been playing a lot of Overwatch recently. Oh, my God. Dude, I've never lost. I. I think what it has to. Is that you have to do the same amount of, like, sections for each character, but then you guys have to, like, do a toy coin toss to figure out who plays Grace first. No, I don't like you just suggesting so. Stupid schedule. Use a controller. Andy, don't be a coward. Hey, Andy, ride a bike to work. Why would you drive a car? Don't be a. No, I'm going to go with great point. I'm going to be better. Why would I not be better?

[A]

Just for the record, we're playing this game in third person, by the way. Absolutely. Yeah.

[B]

Well, I feel like the great sections are really designed for first person. Why does the producer talk so much?

[A]

Yeah, hold on. Yeah. Crazy. The Reddit comments.

[B]

Pull out a chair.

[A]

Get out here, Bear. If you're happy on the show. You know what I mean? God damn.

[B]

I'm really excited for you to for you two to this stream this entire game.

[A]

This is a really fun stream. Something not so fun. Rockstar blew up story number three.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

GTA 6 developer Rockstar north is is open and operational after fire crews rush to explosion this is Tom Phillips at IGN. Fire Services attended the offices of Grand Theft Auto 6 developer Rockstar north this morning following a reported boiler explosion. Seven vehicles were mobilized to attend the main Rockstar north building in Edinburgh, Scotland at 5:02am local time.

[B]

That scared me. I thought you were going to say seven vehicles were damaged. I was basically, whoa, this is way bigger than I thought. This took out half seven vehicles were dispatched. Okay.

[A]

Just after midnight Eastern following an incident that local news outlet Edinburgh Live described as an explosion in a boiler room. Crews remained on site for over four hours, but have now left the scene. Scottish newspaper the Herald has reported. Rockstar Games has told IGN that studio opened today following the incident attended by emergency services. In the early hours of this morning, quote, early, early Monday morning, there was a malfunction in one of the heating boilers at Rockstar North, a Rockstar Games spokesperson confirmed to IGN in a statement. Many thanks to those that reached out with concern and also to the police and fire crews who were on scene quickly to assess the situation. Please know that everyone is well and our studio remains open and operational, end quote. Earlier reports from emergency services. Sorry. Emergency service personnel made mention of securing structural damage to the building through Rockstar's statement appears to suggest this was minimal. Wild.

[B]

I mean that. That's a scary thing that something just randomly like that. I often think about just like the random stuff that's out of your control. What happened with this boiler? Why.

[A]

It just. It just did that.

[B]

But like it's crazy that, that, that could just happen.

[A]

I. And like it's. It's. It's such, it's such a crazy thing and it's crazy how much like we as humans just need to accept. Not to get philosophical.

[B]

That could just happen.

[A]

That could just happen. My. In 2020. What year? 2008. I want to say either 2008, 2009, my house caught on fire when I was a kid and I was like, home alone. And this is one of those ones where for some reason our heater system in our home wasn't working. My mom didn't want to fix it. She wanted to save money. It was the whole thing I was using. I was using a space heater in my room. Did the space heater cause the fire? No, it did not. But as a kid, I was home alone. Fire happened, and immediately I was like, oh, I fucking caused a fire with the space heater. Oh, yeah, it wasn't that. It was just that, like, in my sister's room that nobody was in because my sisters had all, like, either moved out or gone to college, there was like a random cable that had caught under the carpet and, like, got cut by one of the needles. It just fudgeing caused the fire. And nobody could have done anything about that, right? Like, nobody could have caught that. That's life. Like, shit. Fudgeing just happens. And that's terrifying. But as humans, we just keep going.

[B]

I mean, like, keep going. I think it's so wild that this is all that it was. Like, this could have been so much worse.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

When we think about it, and obviously great that nobody was there, but very, very terrifying either way, like, that's a terrifying situation.

[A]

Terrifying. Glad it sounds like people are okay. They didn't report any injuries or anything like that. I mean, it was like in the.

[B]

Middle of the night, right? Yeah, yeah.

[A]

But they'd be crunching.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, they do.

[A]

Somebody is like, fuck, I got to make sure, like, this character's knees look perfect for the final game.

[B]

All of a sudden this guy's nostrils are not flaring. Gotta flare those nostrils.

[A]

The horse's balls don't shrink and grow depending on the temperature.

[B]

Well, how does a fungus look on that toenail? Is it still like, man, there's a lot of crunch happening.

[A]

There's a player that will notice if the fungus isn't perfect. On that Toenail story number four, former BioWare exec hits out at suggestions that it should never have made Anthem in the first place. This is Chris Scolion at Video Games Chronicle. A former Bioware executive has criticized player suggestions that the studio should have. Should never have made Anthem in the first place. Last week, as Anthem servers were shut down seven years after the game's release, Anthem executive producer Mark De Raw released a video post mortem lasting nearly four hours. Following this, in a 40 minute interview with YouTuber Dustin Legarie, Mark de Raw discussed the game's development further and defended the decision to make the game in the first place. As the interview concluded, deraw was asked if there was anything he wanted to clarify about Anthem and its history. He replied by questioning Anyone who said BioWare should never have made Anthem in the first place because it should have stuck to single player RPG games. Durra pointed out that since its foundation in 1994, BioWare had tried numerous new ideas and that Anthem was simply another evolution in another of its numerous attempts to try something different. I'm sure there are probably things where I feel like the record needs to be set straight, but I think it's easy to blame ea and certainly they deserve a bunch of blame for Anthem, but it's not all their fault, he explained. But my feeling is that BioWare has always been changing. I mean, by that argument, we should never have made Neverwinter Nights because we were a 2D RPG maker. We should never have made Mass Effect because we were a tactical RPG maker, not an action RPG maker. So I don't know that that argument holds a lot of weight for me. To me it's like, yeah, your studios evolve and they try new things and was Anthem too big of a reach? Yeah, sure. Yeah, for sure. But could you tell at the time? Could you tell? But could you tell at the time? I don't know. I don't know that you could. End quote. I fuck with it.

[B]

Yeah, I mean it definitely was a massive reach for them and they were also kind of hot off the heels of what a failure was with Mass Effect Andromeda and maybe there was already some low morale at that point. It just really, really sucks. After playing it back in December where me, Chris Anka and Kevin a Sex hopped into it played about five or six hours and it's just such. It's. It's so tragic because yeah, there. There is such a good core there. The, the combat is so fun. It's really satisfying. I. It's such a bummer that the. That the pieces just did not come together in the way that they needed to and in a. You know, the m. The magical gaming. I'm the magical gaming wizard. Blessing. I'm going to make this a single player RPG is what I would do.

[A]

Well, you forgot your first wish and so don't up. Yeah, your single player RPG is going to be online only. Online. Online Friday is gonna suck.

[B]

No.

[A]

No romance, dude.

[B]

It's. It's such a bummer, man. They're like, it is still such a wildly impressive game. And such a high budget game with the amount of times that the cutscenes where. Well, well, first off, I will say that it has some of the best procedural, like AI generated animations where. Where it's not facial capture, where it's just like the procedural animation stuff making the mouth do the flapping according to the sounds that it's making it. That shit is like so impressive for how old the game is. But then every cutscene where characters are just looking at you, it's like, man, this is rendered. So everything looks so impressive right now. And it's just. Yeah, not everything came together. And it's really, really sad because I think that. I think if they would have stuck to Anthem Next after, you know, looking at all the mistakes that were made and all the lessons learned, I think there could have been something really cool with Anthem Next and it just didn't see the light of day.

[A]

You know, the meme where it's like society. If X, Y, Z thing happened, I feel like the society of Anthem was good. Yeah, we'd have flying cars, like, you know, everybody would have water, clean water. We'd be living in a utopia.

[B]

Dude, it was so sick, man. Like, there's a lot of really cool, impressive stuff in that game. And yeah, after going offline fully and permanently, hopefully modders do something about it. Hopefully modders can figure out a way to resuscitate it and get that shit, you know, in an online state of some sort. But yeah, it's a bummer.

[A]

Story number five. Nintendo was unhappy at Sega's mascot's foot during Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games development. This is Tom Phillips at ign. This honestly doesn't even need to be in the rope report, but I couldn't.

[B]

I.

[A]

We had to talk about this. I'm on the show. Nintendo allegedly expressed dissatisfaction at Sega during the development of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games after seeing Sonic's foot placed ahead of Mario's. The incident has come to light in an arcade attack Retro Gaming Network interview with Sega veteran Ryoichi Hasegawa, who worked on the WWII and Nintendo DS Sports Minigame Classic ahead of its release back in 2007. According to Hasegawa, Nintendo insisted that Sega change artwork set to be used for the game's cover that depicted Mario's foot placed behind that of Sonic's. Quote, there was one funny story, Asagawa recalled of the game's development. There was artwork of Mario and Sonic and, you know, other characters standing on the field. And those artworks were used for the package. The instruction Manual cover and the cartridge label and things like that. There was one small error, and Sonic's foot was in front of Mario's foot. He continued, And Nintendo demanded us to change the priority, end quote. Asked if Sonic, or asked if Sega agreed to the change, Asagawa said the game's developers, of course, made the change for Nintendo. We were like, oh, my God, we have to change it, he concluded, or there will be no deal.

[B]

This is a deal breaker.

[A]

We had to do something.

[B]

This is hysterical.

[A]

I love.

[B]

Reminds me a lot of, you know, the Rock having in his contract that he can't die in a movie or whatever. So, like. Or he can't lose a fight. So he just always ties with Vin Diesel. Whatever. It's always a stalemate, you know, I.

[A]

Feel like if I could pitch. Since Mythic Quest is gone, if I could pitch a new video game sitcom, I'd want a sitcom that's like. That takes place within the offices of Sega and Nintendo during, like, that era of console wars as it turns into, like, this. Where, like, shit, it says it's like, it would have to be in Sega, like, mostly it would have to base or be based around, like, Sega launching the Genesis, Saturn, then Dreamcast. Right. And then getting out of the console business. Because everything's going to. Because that'd be the most interesting content. But I. I love this episode of.

[B]

It where they're like, it would be awesome if they were sharing a cafeteria in a building.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And there are moments where, like, you know, the walking by with the trays and, like.

[A]

And like, all the Nintendo people are, like, very dressed up and, like, proper or whatever. And the second people are just, like.

[B]

Walking around with chili dogs.

[A]

The second characters would for sure be like the cast from It's Always Sunny and Philadelphia.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Where they never have their together. Like, they're kind of awful. Like, like, that would have to be. Not saying that second people are awful. I'm just saying in this sitcom, they would be the cast from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Because this episode is hilarious. It's like, ah. Somebody comes in and they're like, I.

[B]

Don'T think it's further. It is, dude. Yeah. Check it out. Look. Bust out the ruler. Everybody's, like, measuring everything.

[A]

There's like a very uptight character that comes in the room. They're like, who made this asset? They're like, bob, like, you put Sonic's foot in front of Mario's ghost. Crazy.

[B]

I didn't know Mario, honestly. What a diva. Mario.

[A]

Oh, huge diva.

[B]

To be so Controlling and of his image.

[A]

But honestly, like, let's be real, though. As much as I love Sega, as much as I. As much as love Sonic Sega, you shouldn't be putting Sonic's foot in front of Mario. You should know.

[B]

But I hate this because, like, Mario, you're not a fast guy.

[A]

You're.

[B]

You're a jumper.

[A]

He's Mario.

[B]

But also, I, I, I. In my brain, his foot was just ahead. Not because he's faster. Doesn't he just kind of have maybe like longer legs?

[A]

Yeah, this is what Andy is somebody who watches sports. You know, I mean, like Netflix, they're putting out a documentary about the last, the last 15 years of the NBA. And on the COVID of the documentary, they're gonna put Steph Curry and LeBron James, who's getting, who's like, who's in front of the other in that art?

[B]

I mean, you have to have LeBron James.

[A]

It has to be LeBron James. And listen, this is me calling Sonic the Hedgehog, Steph Curry. Yeah, Sonic.

[B]

Still a great compliment.

[A]

Oh, my God. Sonic the Hedgehog will clutch up when he needs.

[B]

Best three point shooter of all time.

[A]

Best three point shooter of all time. Sonic the motherfucking Maurice Hedgehog. You know what I mean? But Mario's LeBron James.

[B]

You're right.

[A]

You got to show him respect.

[B]

He's right, Chant.

[A]

He's right, Andy. Big news that we had to end it with here, right? Fucking Sonic and Mario beefing once again. But if I wanted something smaller, say the tiniest news I needed to know about, where would I go?

[B]

You'd go to our last story, the WE News Channel, where we cover all the small news items you need to.

[A]

Know about story number six, we news. Let's start off with one from the Gameverse. Star Wars Jedi 3 is being revealed and released this year, according to Insider.

[B]

Tim Gettys, of course, I heard about this recently.

[A]

Yeah, it looks like there's been a. There's been a note. Tim Geddes has stated he did not confirm this information and does not know anything regarding this, per his own tweet.

[B]

I think if you watch the show, he said, I've heard things. I've heard whispers.

[A]

Which show was this?

[B]

It was Gamescast. It was the end of Gamescast. Or he was like, oh, is it.

[A]

Like a cute little.

[B]

Yeah, it was our. It was our cute little games cast.

[A]

And like, we were like, no, that would be crazy.

[B]

And then he just went, I've heard things.

[A]

Wait, did you buy this? Yeah.

[B]

Oh, I just wanted to show you my cool card. Look at that one. Audio listeners. Mike has magic cards. Look at this one. Look at that one.

[A]

I had to miss out on the pre release because I was sick.

[B]

Chronicle of Victory. Chronicle of Victory.

[A]

Look at this guy.

[B]

Wow. That's a shadow urchin. Holographic. Oh, yeah, bro. What, What. What brand is or what is.

[A]

How was it? Was it fun?

[B]

This is Lord, When Eclipsed.

[A]

I went for the pre release party on Friday night.

[B]

I went one and two.

[A]

I went 02 at the beginning.

[B]

Got real down on myself, got slapped. Andy, you get 45 minutes to play a best of three. Three first two matches were done in like 15 minutes.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

So there I was, twiddling my thumbs, looking at the wall, hating life. And then I slapped this jabroni around. So I'm on the up. And then I was so into it. Bless that.

[A]

Unfortunately, sold out.

[B]

It was so popular.

[A]

It sold out.

[B]

I couldn't partake in Saturday or Sunday.

[A]

So I went to Gamelandia and I bought myself some packs cuz I needed it.

[B]

I bought a collector's booster. Didn't get anything.

[A]

Yeah, I was supposed to go to game Landy on Friday 45 for collecting.

[B]

Wow. No way. Is that good. Oh, it's a lot of money. Okay.

[A]

Oh, man.

[B]

Jim in the chat says, Mike, there's a show happening right now.

[A]

I've not gotten. I'm not even.

[B]

They were talking about Tim who's like, I. I know something about Jedi. Stop talking.

[A]

I don't think that was a sentence.

[B]

We were talking. We were mid sentence. Mid conversation.

[A]

But yeah. Twitter is a trash fire. Medieval battle food truck has been announced from this from Steam. The description reads like. Reads like this. Medieval battle food truck is a rog like cooking game where your food truck is just as vital as the battlefield. And burger flipping can be more important than swinging swords. Every meal you serve directly strengthens your army and the quality of your cooking can decide the fate of war. I added this in because, like, this looks kind of crazy.

[B]

That seems cool.

[A]

Yeah. Like right here, if you're watching live, right, you can see kind of the cooking aspect of it. But then you open your food truck and there's like soldiers in the background at war and they're coming to your food truck ordering shit. And the art looks really good. This looks cool.

[B]

Pretty rad.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Art style reminds me a lot of Rollerdrome.

[A]

Okay. Yeah. Tides of Tomorrow has been delayed to April 22, which is probably good for that game because February was getting packed.

[B]

And then finally forgotten what that was. I had to re google it and when. Oh, shit. That game is kind of neat.

[A]

Kind of like the narrative game where you're following in like other players footsteps and shit. You've seen it. Might not remember it, but you've seen it. Far Cry 3, Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon and Far Cry Primal are getting 60 FPS patches for current gen consoles. And that is it for we news. Andy, before we get out of here, let's hop in to super chats, see what people are saying. We got a few more birthday taxes here. Billy Schnauzer says Birthday tax turned 30 yesterday. Love you guys. Happy birthday, Billy.

[B]

Thank you, Billy.

[A]

Nate goes live. PS5 says birthday tax day full of Forza Trophy hunts before Forza 6. Happy birthday. Mad Rock says. I feel like. I feel like I associate remedy with fall for some reason. Yeah.

[B]

Cozy.

[A]

Cozy. Okay, okay. I don't know if they cozy, but.

[B]

Like, maybe it was Alan Wake too. He's always in a jacket. It's always kind of chilly.

[A]

You know, nothing about those games will say summer. Right. Because control took place indoors the whole time.

[B]

You never see him with a Mountain Dew or a soda.

[A]

No.

[B]

Tundra Boy says. How often do you think about Sonic's feet?

[A]

Never.

[B]

Yeah, not once.

[A]

Sometimes I forget Sonic has feet because I don't think he's ever taken off those shoes. I would wonder if the shoes are part of his body.

[B]

Skin.

[A]

Yeah, like, those aren't shoes.

[B]

It's really gross when Pokemon do that. Yeah, there's a Pokemon like, has who looks like he's wearing a hoodie. And I had to ask her. I was like, is that just skin? And they're like, yeah. And.

[A]

Oh, Barrett. Oh, no, I can't bear. Don't you have a thing against feet?

[B]

I really hate feet.

[A]

Yeah, but like, for the content.

[B]

Now I'm gonna be thinking about this.

[A]

This is gonna make me hate feet.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Let's see. Benny Baskin, 3618 says, fun fact, Resident Evil. Code Veronica was supposed to be re3. Oh, okay. Jesus Christ. There's no way this is. This is appropriate.

[B]

Yeah, I don't know if we can.

[A]

Do that on Twitch.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Deshawn, for if you're an audio listener, don't look at the video version. Deshaun. Fortune 912 says code Veronica is so important to the overall re story and needs to be done before 5.

[B]

I disagree, man. Because there's that. There's that moment where Chris punches the boulder, breaks it.

[A]

I guess that's why I've never played a bad RE game. Is I never played five or six.

[B]

And you. And you still won't if you play.

[A]

This, you know they'll remake them.

[B]

Yeah, those games are something by 20.

[A]

By 2035, I better have a re5.re5 remake at my door. Yeah. I mean, 2035, 2035. I think they're gonna resist as long as they can.

[B]

I think that'll happen.

[A]

I think they might remake all the other games again. Yeah, they'll remake before they get to Rev 5 and Re 6. Aaron Lime says, speaking of state of play, we're probably a month out from the next one. Which publishers do you think we'll see a lot of? Sega Atlas, Konami, Capcom Square? A lot of unknowns right now. Publishers. I mean, Capcom, because they're going to want to talk about Animusha and Pragmata.

[B]

Right. With that being so close on the horizon. But also, this just sounds like a. Sounds like a good gamescast.

[A]

It sounds like a whole episode.

[B]

Yeah, there's a lot of. That's a lot to unpack right there.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

Adam Gumby says. Wanted to let you folks know I had Jerrica Hannah on my show, the Tier List, a video game podcast that dropped today on my YouTube and podcast services now.

[B]

Hell yeah.

[A]

Shout out Jerrica the homie, the DJ DEFCON says blessing. Andy, have you tried out Expedition 33 DLC yet? The final boss has a killer soundtrack.

[B]

No, I have not. I've been. I've been just deep in the world of Nier Automata. We. We were told.

[A]

Blessed that we're. We're fake, clear, obscure fans because we haven't played the DLC yet. Who told you that? Like a Super chat.

[B]

Oh, YouTube commenter. I've just been busy, man. You guys had this game on your top tens and you haven't played the DLC yet.

[A]

I mean, you guys are fake fans. Yeah, yeah, I'll.

[B]

I'll take it.

[A]

We should both take it off our list, Andy. We'll.

[B]

We'll.

[A]

We'll give blueprints Game of the Year. Listen, all right, I was real. I put that number six on my list.

[B]

All right?

[A]

I was honest.

[B]

You were real. But, hey, blessed. You were still pressured by the industry to put it on your list.

[A]

I kept it 100. You know what I mean? I gave five other games higher review scores throughout the year. So I was like, I gotta put it. Listen, I can't put it above Hades, too. I enjoyed him.

[B]

You know what I mean?

[A]

I can't put it above what else is on My list blueprints I probably could have put above DK Bonanza. I was like, I really don't know. I really don't know. Claw Master writes and it says, I would argue that thanks to Arc Raiders that people are open to play games like Marathon and other shooters of the ilk. Oh, we already read this one. We read this one. Oh, I think we're caught up then on super chats, Resolute says, who has bigger feet? Sonic or Sora? I don't want to make Sonic feet a thing. Listen here. This is what I'll say.

[B]

It already is. Too late.

[A]

This is what I'll say. The Sonic feet stuff stays on this episode. If I show up tomorrow on KHD and I get a hint, a whiff, you might say, How to play dot com. You're wrong. Rewrite in. Let us know what we got wrong as we got it wrong so we can correct it. For those watching later on YouTube and listening later on podcast services around the globe, let me tell you, I. That Scottish town name pronounced it wrong.

[B]

Edinburgh.

[A]

Edinburgh. Okay. But that's not how it's.

[B]

I've always called it Edinburgh anyway, because I live in. There's an Edinburgh in my, like, kind of, you know, hometown or whatever. Well, it's like it's just a separate city, but there's no H at the end. But I always grew up calling that place Edinburgh as well. Edinburgh.

[A]

Here's what I'll say. Barrett brought up pictures of a picture of Mario's feet. Something about it is more comforting to me. I saw the Mario feet. I was like, actually, you know what? You can leave this up.

[B]

Well, because it's a human foot. Like, we saw Mario's nipples, right?

[A]

Yeah, that's true.

[B]

And so there's something weird about seeing a furry hedgehog with just smooth blue feet. Yeah, because the fur is blue. I don't know if he's blue. You know what I mean?

[A]

No, no, that makes sense.

[B]

If you pluck every hair off of Sonic, what does he look like?

[A]

Yeah. The feet shouldn't be blue.

[B]

Yeah, right.

[A]

I digress.

[B]

Thank you for the five dollar super chat from Alva Alvarock, who says Your Final Fantasy 10 journeys have been great, blessed. But you need to learn the greatness of Blitzball.

[A]

No. Absolutely. Learning of Blitzball. No. Oh, maybe I'll go back and learn it. I just don't have time in the middle of the. I'm trying to defeat sin, Andy. Just like our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ did on the cross.

[B]

Bless up, dude.

[A]

This is too much. For the feet. I don't want to see Mario's feet that big on the screen. And then we'll close out with this year along from Mad Rockdose who says on the buzz today Tuesday's stream is going to be 2xko. And they have said that due to the large patch with the launch, the servers aren't going to be live until 6pm Damn Pacific Standard Time.

[B]

How are you gonna launch a game at 9pm Eastern?

[A]

Yeah, that's kind of crazy.

[B]

That sucks. Wait for the next day. Yeah.

[A]

What are you doing?

[B]

I'd be so mad.

[A]

PM Eastern. I never even heard of 9pm I don't think they celebrate that over there. That is it for Kind of funny Dot com. That is it for your episode of Kind of Funny Games Daily.
