In short
Kinda Funny Games Daily (Oct 7, 2025) covers Nintendo’s mysterious animated short “Close to You” and the community’s debate over whether it’s a Super Mario Galaxy movie teaser or a Pikmin hint; then discusses Marathon’s closed technical test, Mina the Hollower’s delay, and a few smaller updates (Silent Hill 2 on PS Plus, Mega Bonk sales, 2XKO character additions).
Guests/hosts
Blessing (host), Addy A.O. Jr. (host), Snowbike Mike (co-host). No other guests appear as interviewees; they reference IGN’s Tom Phillips, GameSpot’s Steve Watts, and Gamsatsu’s Sal Romano.
Key claims
“Close to You” has dialogue-free Pixar-like animation; some cues suggest Pikmin music and even a tiny red “invisible” Pikmin in the background, while others argue it’s more Mario Galaxy/Rosalina/Luma and tied to New York Comic-Con. Marathon’s test aims to validate improvements (maps, runner shells, prox chat, retuned combat pacing, solo queue, environmental storytelling). Mina the Hollower is delayed only briefly for polish/balancing.
Notable examples
Marathon technical test dates (Oct 22–28); Mina’s original Oct 31 target; “Close to You” pacifier chase; Mega Bonk hitting 1M in two weeks; Silent Hill 2 remake coming to PS Plus later this month.

1:15Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Today's stories include Nintendo uploads a very strange video, Marathon lives, and Mina the Hollower has been delayed. We'll have all this and more because this is Kind of Funny Games Daily.
1:39Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Tuesday, October 7th, 2025. I want your host, Blessing, Addy O.A. Jr. Joining me is the master of hype, Snowbike Mike. Les, what up, big dog? Morning. How's it going? Congratulations yesterday on Kind of Funny Games Daily 2000. Yep. I'm happy to bring in the new century with you. 2001. The new vibes. 2001. Come on. You and I. The 2001 boys. About to take over. Here it comes. What was your favorite thing about 2001? Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. That's really good. That's a really, really good answer. You can't get better than that.
2:12Blessing Adeoye Jr.:How are you feeling after yesterday? Blutz, I'm feeling really good. Took myself a nice little walk. We were talking about Snowmike might get back in shape, getting healthy. And so I took a nice little walk. And then played a lot of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. How about yourself? I'm feeling good. yesterday I played more Hades 2 I'm still stuck on Hades 2 it's actually becoming not a problem because I'm really enjoying myself I think that's the thing we're in video game release season there are so many video games to play and I think for the last maybe month or so there's been a little bit of fatigue because I've been going hard right reviewed Ghost of Yote, reviewed Sonic Racing Cross Worlds, reviewed Hades 2 and there's like a level of I'm not going to climb out because I still want to play more Silk Song I only played the first few hours oh man I just started Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 I want to play more of that to get more impressions in all that stuff right and I think because of that I've been turning video games into work but one video game has been standing out among the rest as not feeling like work and that is Hades 2 Hades 2 is such a natural man I want to play this right now I'm talking to you Mike I'll be honest I'd rather be playing Hades 2 right now I fucking love Hades 2 that's what we're all looking for is that fun game that we just can't get enough of yeah what takes over our mind you know what took over my mind and still on top of my mind i tell you this every morning it's magic the gathering oh do you imagine ever since that spider-man pre-release party that i went to four out of the five events over three days i can't stop thinking about magic hell yeah it's all i want to do it's my favorite thing around bro be careful because like they don't tell you this but not even once you know what i mean once you play magic once it then turns into an addiction be careful and be careful because it will consume you like it's consuming me we got some fun news today oh yeah a little bit of a smaller news day that's all right we're starting off games daily 2001 not a light day are you holding your kingdom come deliverance to impressions where are you at with kingdom come deliverance to because i'm not talking about this i'm down to vibe with you talk with you i'm on adventures right now in kingdom come deliverance too i think okay people have played this game they know that it is a kind of i don't i don't know how to describe it but it's a slower more methodical game right there's a really fun, rich narrative going on.
4:22I enjoy the stories. I enjoy the tales and the quests that I'm going on. There is something to it where you can spend four hours and feel like you've accomplished nothing, but really you've accomplished a lot, right? I'm dirt poor in this game. I gotta get to work. So I'm clocking in nine to five at the blacksmith. I'm out there pounding horseshoes. I'm out here pounding swords. And then I gotta sell it back to him. And he's not giving me a good deal. I'm trying to haggle him. And if you haggle wrong one time he says no more and so i you know i'm trying to get my money up less yeah so i can go out there and get armor i need a bow this man promised me a bow didn't come through on that bow and i'm gonna remember that but he did give me a house that i can now sleep in whenever i want and i steal his food on the daily so i'm always up always up always up little does he know i'm up
5:12Blessing Adeoye Jr.:so i i played a probably about what three to three to four hours somewhere in that because i did just two streams of it and i i've not played nearly enough to like really get a full gauge of the breadth of this game because this game is gigantic and see and as i'm playing people are telling me like yo you're just in the beginning you're just the beginning and even by the time i finished around the time i finished my second stream finally got to like the title sequence of the game i was like damn dude this shit is only this shit is really just beginning um but what i will say is in that first three hours i not that i wanted to be a hater mike because i never want I dislike any game but there's like a level of you know aggression when it comes to the audience being like you guys gotta play Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 to the point where like y 'all overdo it sometimes and y 'all make it so that we want to resent games sometimes they're like you gotta play Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 oh y 'all don't know shit until you play Kingdom Come Deliverance so I start playing I'm like alright let's see what's up I'm not gonna lie Mike this shit has the sauce this shit has the sauce the world the music the vibe is all there there are some frustrating moments the saves are kind of awkward and weird you know you gotta drink a potion to save you gotta save and exit when I learned that that was definitely like the checkpoints very frustrating if you fail the combat is difficult at first the combat is kind of wonky and not fun it definitely doesn't feel like 2025 combat that you're playing in other games it is much more they want you to be slow they want you to be thoughtful it feels like it wants to be Elder Scrolls in the mid 2000s yes and i'm like just so you know skyrim like we passed that you know what i mean like we got past that skyrim give you magic hands i'm just swinging and this game is like oh you gotta swing to the left then swing to the right then swing up on top and do a combo and i'm over here talking with tom tomcat and tom tomcat's like you got to learn how to combo and like homie i'm hitting the combo but it's just not doing it yeah but i'm gonna get it i'm to keep playing it.
7:12I'm going to keep going.
7:12Blessing Adeoye Jr.:It's funny because I describe it as a game that has very obvious quality to it, but I don't know if it's for me. I'm going to give it one more sit-down or one more stream, just so I can actually get into the world a little bit more. But the more I play it, the more I'm like, oh, this is obviously an excellently made video game. When I look at the cutscenes, I'm like, damn, this feels like I'm watching a movie. The character performances are awesome. The environments look gorgeous. Even the menu UI, when you look into the menu, oh my god map the map that map why why do the menus have good lighting why is the lighting immaculate in the menus like there's so much that it has uh going for it and there's obvious quality there but it's also one of those things where i'm like okay i can acknowledge that this game so far at least excellent is it my thing is it my jam or do i just want to go back and play some more hades 2 we'll see it's gonna be a lot of hours to invest in this i am glad i booted it up to at least check it out a little bit you should boot up it's your mom now i i played the preview i play i played the preview i know it gets better past the preview yeah yeah well they did jump me forward here's the thing i played parts of it where i was like oh this is really good i don't know if i'm about to devote my life how much of it have you played uh seven hours you played seven hours of yeah we just had a whole day where i just played it did you mind bro i got that fat man i got that agumon is it called fat man well you know i don't think so when i call that it's a cute little jelly bean you know what did you watch did you mind growing up i did way way way back in the day okay i watched probably like the first couple seasons of digimon because it was right before i went to elementary school bless is how i would wake up you'd wake up it would go pokemon x-men digimon and then if you woke up really early you got sailor moon oh i do take it all off i love i'm a sailor moon kid yeah dude so that was my rock and block if you woke up correctly and you would leave for school and x-men would just be turning on so you get that sick guitar riff yeah and then you'd be like i gotta run out to get the bus i was gonna ask which x-men but yeah you're doing that old x-men i was watching x-men evolution was evolution the cartoon network one from the early 2000s that was my shit dude oh there was a nightcrawler episode where they talked about like where he goes between teleports that shit's crazy it's not what you think where does that guy go where does he go i'll tell you where we're going into video game news because remember this is kind of funny games daily each and every week they run you through the nerdy news and need to know about live on youtube twitch and on podcast services around the globe if you love what we do support us with the kind of funny membership on patreon youtube spotify and apple podcast to get all of our shows ad free watch us record them live and get a daily exclusive show for a chance to be a part of the show some of your thoughts and opinions as youtube super chats as we go housekeeping for you we're an 11 person business all about live talk shows so today after kftd you're gonna get games cast which are our hopes dreams and predictions for marvel's wolverine uh very much looking forward to that one were we supposed to prepare things for this episode i probably should have asked i'm not on this so i'm hoping for storm from x-men i love storm spidey man reference maybe spidey shows up and a whole lot of blood okay i was waiting for you to say something that had to do with not another character it's not wolverine you're like man i can't wait for all the other marvel characters i want storm um give me um saber to the show up i'm gonna throw hands uh so that's happening as games cast then after games cast is the kind of funny podcast then the stream is the call duty beta this one i'm gonna do i'm gonna go into the games cast slack okay and ask were we or no are we should we have prep for this are we supposed to yeah you should probably always prep for anything for this wolverine episode because i'm not gonna have time anyway because i'm here but maybe during i'll think they'll bring you ideas and you'll you'll hit them with the counter ideas because now yeah if i seem like i'm a million miles away yeah it's because i'm thinking about wolverine things don't worry i got you you know i'm because i'm about to deep dive into this trailer we're going to talk about there we go i'm gonna turn off my brain i'm gonna let you go off on this nintendo thing that way i can just go into my mind palace and think about wolverine uh after games cast is the stream which is the call of duty beta yeah spartan says who wants to watch the Call of Duty beta Spartan, you have to remember that we have a Call of Duty fanatic here in the office.

So Nick is excited to finally jump into Call of Duty. He wants to give his impressions. Will he like Call of Duty Black Ops 7? Will he like Omni Movement Plus? We're going to find out today.

13:47Blessing Adeoye Jr.:At just under four minutes in length, the dialogue-free animation titled, quote, Close to You sees a blonde toddler taking their first steps as their pacifier is mysteriously picked up by an invisible force. Nintendo fans will note several musical cues from the Pikmin series as the pacifier is picked up and seemingly carried away though no pikmin can actually be seen at the same time some nintendo fans have said the child could be space princess rosalina who is surely set to debut in next year's super mario galaxy movie without any explanation at all from nintendo itself this is clearly something fans are being left to ponder about by themselves though igan has contacted nintendo for more uh mike i woke up opened up social media saw people freaking out about this one okay what what were their vibes um the comments are turned off in this video yes i tried to dive in and be like okay what's what's the audience thinking no comments on this i just saw so what did social media say at first i was just seeing people be like what the fuck like what the fuck is this like nintendo what only nintendo only nintendo nintendo can do this can upload a four minute short that looks like it's been animated by pixar that looks incredible about a baby chasing a pacifier all around the room um i saw at first i saw a couple people being like oh this is obviously a mario galaxy thing but then i started to see the pikmin stuff okay um i saw somebody i'm not mike you play pikmin i've not played pikmin i saw people like um uh acknowledging the pikmin it seemed like there was pikmin music i can't confirm because i don't really know pikmin music like that but it seems like there was some musical stuff and then uh i think during this scene somebody slowed it down extra and showed there was like a thing running in the background stop it i'll see if i can find i didn't see that i'll see if i can find the post but yeah people are like trying to take this apart to see what this is you watch this i watched this twice and then i had to go to reference shout out to youtube recommendations i watched the pikmin short movie treasure in a bottle to try to get a vibe of like okay well they put out a pikmin like mini movie before that was seven minutes long what was that vibe right and blessing I'm still baffled by this.
15:54I could still go left, right, whatever way you want to try to convince me. Yeah. But I'm thinking not Pikmin. Really? Yeah. So these are my reasons for not Pikmin, okay? In the Pikmin world, everything is larger than life. Now, I know we kind of got the baby's perspective, but none of this feels like larger than life to me. It feels like we got a cute baby at the center of all this, and that is the focus. It is not about, hey, we got a problem solve. We got to go out there and complete a task. That's what Pikmin is all about. Using your resources, trying to delegate, figuring out a plan, and then executing that plan in a timely manner.
16:33So none of this gave me that's the vibe, right? And then, bless, as I compared it with the other one, music, a little too whimsical. Too whimsical. Too whimsical. More Mario vibes than Pikmin vibes. Now, it's tough because, you know, there's a lot of Pikmin games. There's music all over the place. But from what I watched and what I felt, it's like at first you're like, oh, that's kind of Pikmin-y. But then at the end, it's like, you know what? That's not quite perfect on the Pikmin. And I'm telling you, I didn't get the vibe of Pikmin here. New York Comic-Con later this week. I'm thinking it's Mario the movie.
17:12Wait, wait, wait. You said Newark? New York. Oh, New York Comic-Con. Yeah, New York. i thought you said newark new york there's no way they're doing this shit at newark um oh new york comic-con yeah now here's the thing show me the pikmin under the bed maybe i could be wrong i'm because i'm trying to find i'm gonna be very happy i'm trying to find don't
17:30Blessing Adeoye Jr.:get me wrong the evidence i dropped this in assets of andre from game explain he points out this no stop what are you supposed to say no it says those are pikmin colors okay i can't stop it those are pikmin colors okay okay uh kevin okay i can't find this but kevin if you can go back to the youtube video and like find the part where the baby's like climbing on top of the shelf okay because we might have to freeze frame this because i swear to god i saw somebody point this out of a thing in the background what i will say that's going to work against this is that this pacifier it doesn't look like there's like a pikmin no and the pikmin make little noises they make little and also how small are pikmin because they're definitely not so small that you can't see them right they're small are they microscopic oh okay well i i mean i'm pretty sure you would see them you would see them you would see you would showcase pikmin if it was a pikmin like this and also you clearly there's nothing well actually hold on press play actually i want to see how this thing is moving it is moving in a very interesting way i don't know if that's all though but if the pikmin's invisible yeah maybe we're deep in the sauce we're so deep in the sauce and somebody's saying they saw a pikmin in this I'm trying to find it.
18:40I think it's the homie taco, but for some reason I forgot. Lakers shed. I know you're a Pikmin homie like me, but like you give me your reasoning. Super chat away with why you think this is Pikmin or super Mario. Here's the reason why you got to think it's Mario. Yeah. Cause New York comic-con is right around the corner. Of course, we just had the announcement of super Mario world galaxy. So the movie. Yeah. Super Mario galaxy. Taking it to the galaxy. Remember that. And so this feels like a perfect vibe of like, here is a short story about the next character we're going to introduce into the world.
19:14Here's what you get, right?
19:15Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Okay, I'm almost there. Here we go. Okay, okay. I found the thing that I was referencing. I'm going to place it in assets. As Kevin's pulling this up, arguments toward Mario. Obviously, like you mentioned, Mario Galaxy, New York Comic Con's coming up. Also, that baby looks a lot like Rosalina. Baby could be Rosalina. Maybe it's the star thing running around with all the toys. Oh, the Luma? You think it's the Luma? Could be. Okay. Could be, Blast. So this is somebody who's claiming that there's a red Pikmin running in the background at 140. Yep. Oh, you're telling me that little thing right there?
19:48Look at the way it moves. Look at the way. You ready? You ready? It is moving. Watch it. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. It's moving. It is moving. Okay. We got you. oh nintendo's cooking hold up hold up everything's different everything's different
20:10Blessing Adeoye Jr.:everything has been different now now somebody says matt you and chat says in the lore pikmin are invisible to the human eye so then i wouldn't be able to see that pikmin so we wouldn't be able to but like but but we can see it with the character the baby can't see it which is why it's fucking invisible okay at the start of the trailer it has pikmin music okay i see i'm not picking up on the Pikmin music. Kevin, can you play the beginning of the trailer with Sound? A little too whimsical. This is such a dumb episode of this show. Exactly. Let's bring Mike up for Sound of Funny Games Daily 2001.
20:43Blessing Adeoye Jr.:This is slow news day, by the way, everybody.
21:01Blessing Adeoye Jr.:It'll kick in.
21:13Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Mike, do you know how Pikmin music sounds? Now, see, can I get a counter-reference here? Can I get a counter-point? Kevin, I'm going to send you a video right now. If you could play the start of that one. Let me send this over to Asus. I'm going to play the Pikmin movie. Okay. And I think that has more Pikmin music-like vibes than this does. Give me the reasoning for this one. I mean, people in chat are like, this is for sure Pikmin. People in chat are 100 % sold. Well, let's start breaking it down. When was the last Pikmin? Pikmin 4 was just recently. I reviewed it for Kind of Funny. So it's not like it was that long ago.
21:45Well, here's my question to you.
21:46Blessing Adeoye Jr.:We turn in and burn a Pikmin now? My question to you is, why do you think it's a game? Could it be the Pikmin movie? A Pikmin movie? Look how quality that animation is. that's an animation studio putting their all into that short that reminds me of like one of the shorts that begin the Pixar movies you know what I mean like the one about the bow or the one about the volcano now Kevin oh yes Kevin it's called Treasure in a Bottle click on that one now listen to the music here on this one
22:19Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I see what you're saying see what I'm talking about like that's Pikmin music oh they are really small
22:32It's about Things being larger than life Accomplishing a task with your friends None of that baby Gave me a vibe of that I think we should call Tim over He could identify music better than anyone we know Tim Tim said he's going to enjoy me trying to break this down For 20 minutes He was very excited about it in general tim get he's making him tim what other what other super chats do we have did we have did laker shed come over here and break it down sorry i'm i i just sent the thing out to general daniel z i'm not one with words and music but there's a lot more beep boop bops a little more robotic-y i said it's important uh in that pikmin movie trailer yeah compared to the the show that's why i'm giving him more but i think
23:19Blessing Adeoye Jr.:maybe they're trying to throw you off i think maybe the baby thing is to throw you off of like oh what is this the baby looks so much like rosalina that maybe it's like a oh they'll think this is mario movie but then we're gonna swerve and show them and then we're gonna give you that little tiny red dot in the background making think it's a pin dino what's up everybody it's pikmin music guys okay there we go there we go music it's pikmin what's your analysis on what's going on i don't know your breakdown this is the w-s-w-n-d that's ever happened like i woke up and i saw this and i really had to be like did i take drugs last night like what is going on right now i i am truly a little bit confused like this nothing about this makes sense the one thing that i don't think it is for sure is oh nintendo's just make its nintendo pictures they're making a movie oh you don't think so that's just completely unrelated to video games are all like pikmin movie just its own baby movie oh no i don't think yeah no i don't think that pikmin movie that's where my brain's going that is wild yeah but i mean maybe maybe it's just like some type of series of shorts or something like this being on nintendo today is the funniest thing too like i love i love that we all just wake up we're like what are you guys doing here yeah like there's enough they're thinking about what this could be all the rosalita theories oh my god y 'all are hilarious like i get it i kind of get it but i don't get it like no no no no no but uh the pikmin stuff this doesn't scream pikmin right sure yeah but you gotta understand the world of pikmin bless used to be our world did it is this pikmin zero are we getting a prequel to pikmin is this the before the human spell pikmin zero is such a good pull Pikmin Zero is fire this is crazy you know the chess thing it doesn't scream Pikmin it whispers Pikmin I'm getting a lot of whispers getting a little Pikmin whispers you know but it's it's a bizarre thing overall no matter what way you look at it it looks weird I don't like the look of it you don't like the look what don't you like about the look of it there's something about it that just I mean and I know that this is just a trend in where we're at as a people at this point that we see something and our first instinct is, is this AI?
25:34And I know that that's bad. I do not think that this is AI. If this is AI, I'm cooked. But there's something about the face of the baby that I just don't like. I'm not saying it's not a good looking baby. The baby's fine, but the animation, all the stuff, I'm like, this doesn't seem Nintendo to me. There's something about the Nintendo seal of quality that I don't get from this.
25:56Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Really? Well, I think I get what you mean as far as usually what Nintendo aesthetic is. Because there's something that's a bit more animated about it. Fun? This gives Pixar to me. But, like, if you are making a Pixar thing without... But Pixar's not doing it. You know what I mean? Like, somebody really tried to replicate Pixar here. Yeah. And I don't know what that says. I think maybe that just says... For me, it says that Nintendo wants to make more movies. Yeah. And they're really trying to go after that Pixar bag. but even if this is pikmin like what's happening i mean i think it's them trying to figure out how to introduce pikmin to a wider audience right like you know so i saw so many chat mentioned that pikmin's not like a box office like that's not like something that's gonna sell but it pikmin is something that i so when i look at nintendo ip and what nintendo wants to expand and focus on all that stuff i look at the nintendo store and i look at the sections of the nintendo store and i look at marketable products and i do think there's something about pikmin that aesthetically is inherently marketable it is colorful it is whimsical it is unique and i don't know nintendo likes it like it sounds like blessing saying that pikmin's a top five nintendo franchise based on nintendo's own i didn't say that no but the pikmin are walking to the store i've been making that argument all the time when we see the different nintendo characters walking to the nintendo store those little dudes are there.
27:25Pikmin's there. Miyamoto loves Pikmin. I don't know if their blockbuster seller. I think you turn into a blockbuster seller. No, you go Animal Crossing first. There's a list above that.
27:40Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Here's my thing, right? What's selling the Pikmin movie isn't Pikmin. It's Nintendo. When Pixar puts out a new movie, it's the Pixar brand. But saying that though, does this sell anybody on anything? This is not good enough. It's selling us. I'm talking about it. True, but like not positively. I'm not positive on this at all. Really? At all. Which guy has babies? No, but it's like, because that's the thing. It's like, cool. We can talk about the animation quality, which I don't think is Pixar level. We can talk about the narrative story of this and the cuteness and the whatever. Not on Pixar level.
28:10Like, I think that this is worse than any Pixar short I've seen. Any Pixar short. And Nintendo just dropped this on a random Tuesday morning without context. And now look, I'm not saying this is the worst thing of all time. like i don't think that this is bad yeah i just don't think that it's good nothing about this is interesting yeah besides the conversation of it being random yeah like what's going on here that's
28:33Blessing Adeoye Jr.:i think it's the i think this is a conversation mover for something that's going to end up being i don't if they announce a pikmin movie i don't think it'll look like this i think it'll be something completely different but maybe this is just to stir a conversation maybe you'll go what the fuck is this uh and and have and have that lead to something i mean nailed it i also think though that like we should talk about the fact that this is such a like big tomo says tim is a wild hater this is phenomenal no i mean phenomenal's pushing phenomenal phenomenal's pushing it but i i do what's up with the target audience here this feels like nick jr this feels like you're trying to um speak to parents with small children or like very like small children themselves right is there something there is this them starting an even like younger brand we got it we got to give kids more credit than this then man we really do but i'm talking about three-year-olds nick jr face used to be talking to me this baby's just losing his pacifiers bouncing all around yeah but baby's like they like watching this i'm talking i'm talking like patrol i'm talking two and three yeah look here's the thing jokes aside of me just being a hater right now like in the just being an asshole way um you're right like nintendo clearly are trying to indoctrinate the children and they they're putting out the rosalina storybook right the nintendo store does have a large amount of like baby uh uh stuff for whether it's for all their different brands that they have and they're going to continue to push into that market and then you look at pokemon overall i know that's not pure nintendo but it is nintendo co-signed at the very least and they've been making a lot of pushes and i'm well aware of this now given the situation of my life that i'm in um there's a lot of pokemon branded like pre five year old like systems of like go to this pokemon club and like you'll learn math that you'll learn yeah through pokemon you know what i mean they're just trying to get you in and sell you on stuff which like you know capitalism but like if if we're trying to if nintendo's trying to turn pikmin into more of a popular like you know thing that can be a box office thing i think yeah you have to look at it and go all right what's another demographic of audience that we can widely go after with this ip that already exists for us we want to push and if you look at pikmin and go all right let's see if we can go after the the baby audience right the parents that have kids that are toddlers that are three four five years old i could see i think it is a weird it's a little bit of a weird ip to do that with but i could see it i could see okay so let's just assume it is pikmin yeah why do this put out a random animated movie seeming trailer
31:11named close to you. The human are always close to you because you can't see them. That doesn't even make sense as a sentence, Mike. That's what they said. You can't see pigments by the naked eye. The human eyes can't see.
31:25Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Pigments are invisible to the human eye. I learned that like 10 minutes ago.
31:31The name close to you. is very interesting to me. It's just like such a weird, it's so weird. Yeah, Among Us. Among Us was taken.
31:40Blessing Adeoye Jr.:They went close to you. You think I'm joking? I'm dead ass. Yeah. I don't know, man. I'm smiling like this is a game. I don't know. I'm very interested in what Nintendo has to say for themselves. Yeah. That really is it to me. I'm like, how do they follow this up? And now here's my bigger thing. Here's my dream. All right. My dream of dreams. they never mentioned this again oh my god that'd be crazy they can't do that they can't drop this and then like and then not acknowledge it they always leave the comments off forever too they're like we're never letting anybody comment on this uh yeah i mean like it's a close my point i guess right like i think the fact that there's zero dialogue in this and it's all just watching a baby go after a pacifier like for me that is the peak nick jr we're making something for toddlers here, which I think that's a bag.
32:31What a wild one. A wild one on Tuesday. Let's rip through some of these super chats since they're about Pikmin. Yes. And then we can go on to keep the show moving. Okay. Shout out right now. We got it's Hugo who writes in and says, look up Pikmin to area overview theme. That's it. So a lot of people are saying Pikmin to that. If I can get the Pikmin to area overview. Red Hudson says, Mike, it's time to squeeze into that Pikmin t-shirt. If this is Pikmin related, I'll fucking squeeze into that button up and I'll pop every button on it right now. Hell yeah. All right. At the start of the trailer, it has Pikmin music.
Read the full transcript
33:05So we're thinking it's Pikmin 2 here. Matty Yu says, in the lore, Pikmin are invisible to human eyes. We learned that today. Here comes Greg Miller to say something. This is the music that was requested. Yo, Mike. The new Skate Season's live. They got an Isaac Clarke outfit. You could be fucking dead space. Oh, that's crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy. that's pretty lit that's pretty lit uh dark rewrites and says pikmin lore is that they're invisible to the human eye but are everywhere close to you just so you know the chat fucking chat out of my bag they're like Mike that made sense Tim was just hating right now
33:42Blessing Adeoye Jr.:yeah no I'm on your side too they're like uh the holy spirit exactly they're everywhere you can't see them with your eye but they're everywhere they're all around you they're omniscient is that the word omniscient oh shit Chad, are the Pikmin? I'm looking it up. No, omniscient means you're knowing everything. What's the word I'm looking for? Omnipresent. Omnipresent, I think, is what I'm looking for. And then Motor World Hype agrees with you. What if it's not a Pikmin movie, but a Pikmin streaming show for kids and toddlers, a la Muppet Babies? I'm with that. I like that. That's where I'm leaning.
34:15Alright, well, that gives you your... Oh, I like this one as well. Pikmin E-Day. If it is Pikmin Zero, that shit would be lit. God. wait that would be really smart if it's a show for toddlers because they're making that pikmin five and in like five years it's going to be done those toddlers can now play video games those toddlers are yeah they're all pikmin fans from diapers very odd all i'll say is new york comic-con uh-huh end of the week you know like that mario chris pratt who knows either they talk about it there or they never acknowledge about it again never acknowledge it again but on the side of pikmin if there's a new pikmin video game that would be really exciting that'd be fun i also don't think that's in the cards for me right now but if they do that's lit hey they're omnipresent so uh we're gonna move on to story number two and talk about some marathon but

36:34Blessing Adeoye Jr.:remember that reptar dude everybody loved a reptar man i used to watch um rugrats all grown up which was like the sequel series where they all grew up. That's crazy. I had the theme song memorized. Oh, dude. I was interested. Was it as much of a bop as Rugrats was? Because you can still think of that song. Well, that's just the melody. Yeah, All Grown Up was more of like a punky, like... I don't even know how to describe it. That's what they looked like? No, not in All Grown Up. No, this is like an adult version. Oh, yeah. No, that's fan art. That's fan deviant art. That is not All Grown Up. Why did you have a beard like that um but yeah no rugrats is my shit but yeah all grown up that was like daily phantom era that was i forget what else was on nickelodeon around story number two marathon closed technical test has been set for october 22nd to october 28th this is sal romano at gamatsu bungie will host a closed technical test for a marathon from october 22nd at 10 a.m to october 28th at 10 a.m across ps5 xbox and pc developer announced applications are available via the official website now until october 16th at 4 p.m pc applications will also be available via steam starting october 13th at 10 quote this is an important checkpoint for us as we test our improvements since alpha including three maps five runner shells prox chat retuned combat pacing solo queue deeper environmental storytelling and more bungie said quote that said the technical test build is a work in progress and will only include a portion of what's planned for marathon's full release focused on the early player experience and quote it's back mike it lives yeah yeah it's blessing this is gonna live yeah i do still i'm still on the side of like marathon will get to the finish line regardless of how it is received afterwards but it will get to the finish line yeah this is gonna make it there uh i am a little surprised right i did think that this team would go quiet until 2026 and beyond of like we're still retooling we're still reworking but when you really think about it this sounds right right like they have a a groundwork here they have a foundation already laid we've played it before they've taken in all of the feedback and now they've gone to reworking things and of course when you're reworking things you need more feedback right so they do have to have one of these of hey let's put it out to the public here on this closed test let's see how they react to what we've done the changes that we've made let's see if we're moving in the right direction and so yeah i mean did i think this is too early of course but at the same time this is right on on track because when you really think about it this is probably around the time when we marathon would have been released yeah it was supposed to come out late september yeah this is like right in the between the go time of where we should have been yeah if this game hit where it was supposed to and so yeah we gotta continue to test and tool this where do you think we go from here in terms of when marathon lands you said we're gonna see it come out do you think it comes out and it hits do you think it stays around do you think it stays relevant or do you think it comes out and then fizzles away 2026 is gonna be a tough year yeah gta is about to take over the world right we have a lot going on here but you kind of start getting out of the way of the games like escape from tarkov now hitting 1.0 you start to get away from arc raiders rights we're still waiting on ExoBorn right so there's like a lot of games that was in that genre that it was competing with so when you look at next year it's hey if everything goes really well during this closed technical test right people are giving the feedback going I like what I'm seeing I'm enjoying this I could see a February March where they're like hey we're really confident in this we're coming out or we got a long time here and we have to clearly avoid Grand Theft Auto let's wait until late next year yeah what do you want to see in this closed technical test they detailed some things here right three maps five runner shells proc chat uh combat retuning uh solo queue environmental storytelling when you when you read those buzzwords coming off of the previous marathon beta that they did or tests that they did does all that entice you does that excite you do it'll sound like the things that you wanted to see out of this i mean proc chat is the big one that everybody circled yeah when you think about this genre you think about first person shooters right now in general with Call of Duty and such.
40:58You think of Prox Chat and the fun that can be made of it. And so, yeah, Prox Chat is a massive one of like, that's got to be in the game. I am really circling retuned combat pacing. This is a game that, in a heartbeat, could go really fast and never let go. Whereas some of the games, they go really fast and it picks up. But there's also a lot of downtime of like, I'm looting, I'm walking, I'm searching. This one always felt like you're at 60 miles an hour from the get-go and you got to keep moving or else you'll never breathe. And so, yeah, I am looking forward to that combat repacing of like, how do you tune that up?
41:34How do you make that feel better for the player where there's a little more give and take?
41:39Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Let's move on to story number three. Shovel Knight devs next game, Mina the Hollower, has been delayed, but not for long. This is Steve Watts at GameSpot. The follow-up to Yacht Club's indie hit, Shovel Knight, will have to wait a little longer as the studio has announced that Mina the Hollower will be delayed out of its previously announced Halloween release date. While Yacht Club said this delay will be a short one, it isn't prepared to nail down an exact date just yet. Quote, This week, our team made a tough decision. We decided to delay Mina the Hollower, the team wrote on its official website.
42:10Blessing Adeoye Jr.:The entire crew has been working tirelessly day and night to finish the development for release on October 31st, but we're just not quite there yet. This isn't a major delay. It's just a stretch of time to apply some final polish and balancing to make the game truly shine is another one that's been like a hotly anticipated title that feels like it's been being worked on forever obviously is the shaquille o 'neal quote right a delayed game is going to be good that's what he said big aristotle he always says it right he always says it right you know delay the game that way it's not bad hopefully it comes out and it's good that's what he'd been saying when he played for the lakers um so in a weird way this is good news but also yeah take your time take your time yeah we always say it take your time especially in this year right now where it is jam-packed everyone listening and watching right now has about 10 to 30 50 games to play yeah it is already overwhelming on the game release side and yes if this game drops and it's great i'm sure we'll get the love and all that that it deserves as of right now there's so many games that like it is tough to find time to play these games so if it's just good that's a problem and so take your time get everything dialed in make sure it's great and then uh come out when it's a little bit quieter i think it's the right move do you push to 2026 to possibly get a nod for best indie game of the year next year when it's not as crowded as literally today when you could name 10 incredible indies i mean i know this year is a historical year for indies right i would say that next year you don't like next year could also be you know like i feel like indies come out of nowhere oftentimes when it comes to um like games that come out and then end up being the talk of the town like indies like nobody knew that blueprints is gonna be blueprints i'm sure somebody did but like for the most part we didn't know blueprints he listened to a podcast yeah barrett barrett listened to a podcast and so barrett knew right like the year before people didn't know that bellacho was gonna be bellacho except for barrett because he listened to a podcast right um you don't know what's gonna to come out next year and so if your thing is to try and play for indie game of the year or whatever i don't i think delaying into next year will only probably be delaying into more tough waters to exist in um that said like i don't think this game is the kind of game that needs to thrive off of like i guess like avoiding anything else you know what i mean i think as i feel like the Shovel Knight slash Yacht Club audience is so dialed in.
44:44Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I think you already have the people that have that buy-in. You know what I mean? People know they want to play a Zelda-like. People know they want to play the next Yacht Club game. If anything, I would say maybe come out in December. I think December usually is kind of a free time for that type of stuff or January. Maybe that. But then, aside from that, it's like the rest of the year is going to be packed. So, pick your poison. Mike, I'm sure Meen of the Hollower is going to come out. It's going to be big. it's gonna get some big reviews but if i wanted something smaller say the tiniest news i need to know about where would i go let's you go to our last story the we news channel where we cover all the small news items you need to know about um also i should shout out people in chat were mentioning pipastrello that's the zelda like indie game where you have a yo-yo oh okay a lot of people were saying a lot of good things about those games and so about that game and so if you're looking for something to fill the meat of the hollow or void maybe check out pipastrello story number four is we news for you according to bill bill coon silent hill 2 remake is coming to ps plus later this month nice that's cool i like silent hill 2 a lot megabonk has sold 1 million in two weeks this game rocks yeah you blessing don't play this game not even one don't put if you play this game blessing your week will be megabonk yeah you will be bonking all around bro this game rocks i'm so fascinated by the games that have hit the million two million three million in a few weeks in the last few years because we're talking about megabonk we're talking about geek we're talking about um oh mike what's another one of these games that you'll be streaming repo is out there headliners was out there this year there's like a lot of these fun indie games that you know involve your friends and just hit you know schedule one was out there one i mean this is Mega Bonk is$10 on Steam.
46:34There's something to be said about like the perfect price point matching like the perfect fun addicting game that is vampire survivors with a different perspective. Right. And just saying, there you go. I know you love this kind of game. Get after it. And it being very good. Yeah. It's just a recipe for success.
46:52Blessing Adeoye Jr.:It's like you come out, you come out cheap or at a good price point and you just create opportunity for people to have fun with their friends or you create just an addicting like gameplay loop. Right. with Megabonk. It's so addicting and fun that you will see large streamers. So Shroud, one of the largest streamers, you know, Big Shroud. Yeah. Greg Miller's favorite streamer. Oh, really? He got really good at it to the point where now other streamers are calling into Shroud and he coaches them in Megabonk while they play together. We live in crazy times. Crazy times. Crazy times. 2XL adds Warwick as a character.

Over under on this becoming the next day before. Or the next Dr. Disrespect game that got canceled. Remember that one too? Midnight Society was the company that was making it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is just a bad idea. this is millionaires doing some dumb shit this is billionaires I got too much time on my hands I should be focusing on helping better the world but instead I've decided to just go off and do a dumb side quest where I affect millions and others that I shouldn't be affecting so many people are probably going to work on this dumb AI game and then companies are going to lose a bunch of money and they're going to lose their jobs great times and that is it for Wii News let's talk about the super chats before we get out of here uh let's see dexter schwarzer says i feel like mina will be shadow dropped at tga but glad they're taking their time also bless wash your mouth with soap for the t-word on taste swift oh you said terrible oh terrible did you say trash or terror you said the t-word t-word honor did you listen to the full album no absolutely not okay did you No, of course not.

50:02Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I did listen to wood. That shit was cringe. I usually don't use the word cringe, but she wants to be Sabrina Carpenter so bad in that song. Everybody wants to be Sabrina Carpenter. And guess what? You're Taylor Swift. You're not Sabrina Carpenter. That's right. I don't want to hear you talk about. I don't want to hear you talk about Travis Kelsey. They just toured together. She left a little bit of lasting impact on her. that's all you know what i mean she was she was sharing the vibes with t swift she picked up on the vibe this morning what song was i listening to this morning i was listening to some song where i was like i just don't like the vibe um let me look it up i listened to eldest daughter this morning and i was like i don't i can't i don't know i feel like there's like some some subliminal stuff in there are you saying i think she's saying some shit and i don't know if i like it I don't need to go deep on my Taylor Swift thoughts.

You know, LeBron James going to make a big announcement today, too. Today's a good day. What kind of big announcement? Big announcement. Do we know what? I mean, I have to lean towards retirement. I think I think this will be him announcing. I got one year in the tank. Wow. Get ready. Crazy times. Zeke Speak writes in and says two things. One, been a Bungie fan forever. It's a commercial, Mike. Oh, my God. LeBron, dude, you can't be doing that to me. You can't do that to me, LeBron. It's a Hennessy commercial.
51:57Pull your life together, LeBron, LeBron. Of course it's a Hennessy commercial. I'm over here. I'm worried that I got to go put out fistfuls of dollars to go see LeBron James on his final year. He's just trying to sell me more Hennessy. I already bought the Hennessy bottle, LeBron.
52:13Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Jesus. And then I'll tell you what, there I am at the liquor store across the street. They got the Hennessy LeBron James bottles. I'm like, oh, shit, this is a big deal. Yeah. Guy behind the counter is like, this is limited edition. You got to buy it now. They'll never be sold again. That guy's got a thousand of those. Of course he does. And there I was panicking. I had to buy it. Jesus Christ. Why are you such a mark? I swear to God, half the stories I hear come out of your mouth are either you getting got or you getting Roger. You know what I mean? it's just you getting got and then passing that on to roger fucking roger um did i already read this one from zeke speak about bungee no zeke speak writes it and says two things i've been a bungee fan forever um i am so worried about their future it looks so bleak and two i need both of you to do the dainty phantom rap um yo dainty phantom he was just 13 oh it's been so long he was just 13 when his parents made a really strange machine I don't know if I can go past that.
53:11Blessing Adeoye Jr.:It's been so long. I never watched really Danny Phantom. Oh, do Danny Phantom sick. Okay. Is that in the background? He does look sick. You know, the Danny Phantom rap, the Danny Phantom rap. He's coming. Oh, I feel like Barrett's got it on right now. He might put on 14. He was 14. No, I don't. Cause I was way less into Danny Phantom. Then like, by the time Danny Phantom was coming around, I feel like I was slowly moving on to other stuff. You know, that's fair. That's 10. Yeah. Like Ben 10. Ben fucking 10, bro. Can I be honest? I didn't fuck with Ben 10 like that. You didn't fuck with Ben 10?
53:45Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I don't know why. Ben 10 just never hit for me. He had the watch. He did have the watch, but I don't know. He just never worked for me. I was such a Teen Titans kid. Teen Titans. They rock. Dude, Teen Titans is a kid. They rocked. Y 'all don't know about Slade? Oh. I'll always be a Kim Possible guy. Dude, Kim Possible is great. I think that might be the tippy top. We don't talk about Camp Laszlo. You ever watch Camp Laszlo? I loved Camp Laszlo. Camp Laszlo was my shit. How about Total Drama Island? Oh, yeah, Total Drama Island. That was great. Here's one that many people don't pull up. I know you have before.
54:15Uh-huh. Jackie Chan Adventures. Oh, dude, Jackie Chan Adventures. That's my show, bro.
54:18Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Jackie Chan Adventures was fucking awesome. Watch out, man. That, and then they, after that, they tried to do it with Jalyn Showdown. It just wasn't the same, but I liked it. Jalyn Showdown was nice. I liked it. What was the one with the kids that were luchadors? Mucha Lucha. Mucha. Man, that show. Mucha Lucha. That show. The Flea? Oh, man. Oh, man. I'll tell you what, I like Angry Beavers as well. We don't give enough love to the Angry Beavers. But now you're going further back. You know what I mean? At that point, we're talking about Cow and Chicken at that point. You know what I mean? And if we're talking about that, let's be honest about the big three here.
54:50Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Oh, wow. The big three? Let's be honest about the big three. You can't name a big three. Dexter's Laboratory. Ooh, that might be up there. Ed and Eddie and Powerpuff Girls. That's the big three? That's the big three. That's the big three? Are you saying overall 90s? Well, no, because that's like 2000s for me. That's like early 2000s for me. Who's the Samurai guy that everybody loves? Samurai Jack. You're not going to put Samurai Jack on that? No, I don't think I... He's number four. I think now I'm talking... He's number four? Now I'm talking about... He's number four? Now I'm talking about Cartoon Network.
55:20Blessing Adeoye Jr.:If we're talking about cartoons, if we're talking about early 2000s cartoons period, then the victory is different. Then we're talking about SpongeBob. SpongeBob has to be in there. You're talking about Cartoon Network, so you're bringing up SpongeBob? No, now I'm just saying cartoons period. early 2000s cartoons Spongebob has to be in there what about X-Men we going that far back I'm saying early 2000s I'm saying Spongebob and even though Spongebob technically started in 99 I'll give it to you I know I know it came into it's prime in 2000 what would you say is number one cartoon because I go to Dexter I think Dexter's laboratory I don't know if that's number one he's up there but I don't know I don't know if that's one.
56:02What from Cartoon Network are we putting above Dexter? Samurai Jack. Samurai Jack for sure was the GOAT of that time.
56:08Blessing Adeoye Jr.:But like Dexter just had the popularity. What about Johnny Bravo? Dexter was just on. Johnny Bravo was sick. So I love Johnny Bravo. He's a top dinner. Dexter was on is the thing. Samurai Jack, you had to tune in at a specific time. If we're talking 2000s, Avatar The Last Airbender. Oh, that's up there. I think that's in the conversation for sure. That's up there. That could be a top three. Yeah. That could be a top three. Mike, did you watch Avatar The Last Airbender? are like, but that's like one of the, that's one of the better young adult heroes journeys that have actually hold up in the last 20 years.
56:38You know, Invader Zim, I fuck with Invader Zim.
56:43Blessing Adeoye Jr.:These are all kind of like, not deep cuts because everybody knows these things, but like they're more, they have, they're in niche pockets. Avatar is not though. Avatar is, it's not, but it's in a nicher pocket than Dexter and a Spongebob. I think Avatar was global. SpongeBob, yes. Not Dexter. More people watch Dexter than Avatar. No. That's insane. No, no, no. You think more people watch Avatar The Last Airbender than Dexter's Laboratory? Does Dexter have a live-action Netflix adaptation? Dexter's Lab, yes. Does Dexter's Lab have a fucking sequel? We got some great pulls. Fairly Oddparents? They need to be in the mix here.
57:22Fairly Oddparents needs to be in the mix. What about Codename Kid Next Door? Those kids rocked. People love those kids. Billy and Mandy, though. What about recess? People say blessing as well. Here's the thing, Chad. Here's the thing. Recess. Avatar The Last Airbender. Never get a kid who doesn't get his recess. You 100 % could be the lead of recess. That was a Halloween costume I did one year. That's you, baby. Me and Alyssa did that. He doesn't pay attention. Chad, I'm not trying to take away from the quality of Avatar.
57:50Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I love Avatar The Last Airbender. Neutron might be top three. It is not as popular and watched as Dexter's Laboratory. We gotta be real. Reality exists The more the people Pull this out I think Dexter's Constantly going down For me right now Yeah He's going further What reality do you live in I live in the reality Where Dexter's laboratory Was on constantly Like non-stop It was very good Yeah in an era Where there was like Five shows And three channels Bless Yes But that doesn't take away From the fact that like It was on I'm just saying Avatar dominated Even with you know More programming If I go on the street And ask people about Dexter And ask people about Avatar More people are gonna be like Oh yeah I watched Dexter's laboratory I'm not saying it's better Ask Charlie across the street That's a great That is a good test right there And he's going to say The fuck you talking about Get out of this store I was going to say another one No okay Actually never mind I was going to bring up Scooby Doo But that's way outside the bounds He's timeless though Scooby is timeless You know what Think about it Scooby Doo is the Dragon Ball Z of kids cartoons You know what Fuck it yeah sure Why not?
58:59Blessing Adeoye Jr.:If we're talking about all-time big three, Scooby-Doo, Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny. All right, close. Open a showcase. Scooby-Doo, they get reimagined every 10 years. That's more like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, right? Yeah, but I feel like there's a peak Scooby-Doo. Like, oh, this is the one that everybody watched. When they had Don Knotts. I think that that's the one that you watched. I think there's one that I watched which was the old one but I think I watched the old one you didn't watch the teen one? I watched all of them we were all watching the Batman crossover and the Harlem Globetrotters I didn't know who the fuck Don Knotts was but he kept showing up who knows leave them in the comments down below give us your big three that's it for Super Chats I would also say Adventure Time and a regular show I mean, like those are now.

Let's see what people are saying and you're wrong. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Okay. Well, actually, we already covered that. Kebab says I have super chats, Mike. All right. Kebab.
