Warner Bros Confirms Hogwarts Legacy Sequel - Kinda Funny Games Daily 08.13.26

28:32Why are so many pushing back today on the Marvel Midnight Sun stuff, on the Darksiders stuff? And then I see there's people like Chaos Killer out there. I'm sorry, I'm getting choked up. There's people like Chaos Killer X7 out there who have learned from my messages and my teaching and understand a good game versus it. It's not good. I enjoy it. You know what I mean? like the words matter that we use on the review scale the patented kind of funny review scale thank you story number three uncharted designer says he doesn't want to make a remake or remaster because quote it doesn't make any sense this is chris scullion again at vgc.news and it's times like these where i get two chris scullion stories in a row and i go huh where's jordan midler you You know what I mean?

29:18Hey, big dog. Where you at? The hugest dog. The biggest dog. Big dog. Where you at? Is he holding up the earth right now like Atlas? Is that what he's doing? A former Naughty Dog developer who was a designer on the first three Uncharted games says he doesn't want to see the first entry being remade or remastered. In an interview with FRVR, Benson Russell, who was at Naughty Dog for nearly a decade and worked as a game designer on Uncharted 1, 2, 3, and The Last of Us, was asked whether he'd like to see a remake or remaster of the original Uncharted game. Russell replied that he didn't want to see this happening because he doesn't see the point in remastering a game like Uncharted, as opposed to an older game that's less easily accessible today.

29:57Quote,

30:10Uncharted, as a thing, is still in the zeitgeist. There's already a version you can play on modern consoles to get the experience. what's the point of remastering or remaking it end quote addressing suggestions that one reason to remake the first game would be to make it slower more emotional game like modern naughty dog titles russell said that would change the entire point of it quote i just don't see the point of remaking it you have to rewrite the whole story to make it better which means you're going to change the spirit and you're going to change the scenes and what the first one was all about right uh you're going to have to add all these scenes or take away things and a lot of key set pieces are you going to keep those are you are you going to have to redo them because they don't fit your story he added i honestly thought the same thing about last of us part one these are old games for a reason instead russell said he would rather see naughty dog quote take the spirit of the series and make a new game in an earlier time era and go back to what it was end quote michael he's right okay mr russell like you're you're spitting facts yeah big dog like you're You're saying what I think the community and gamers are feeling, especially in the last kind of remaster cycle that we got.

31:19But unfortunately for Benson, who is a former Naughty Dog employee, it's all about the money. And we will remake Uncharted until we die if people keep buying it. So, like, I love what you're saying there. I totally agree and feel that. But unfortunately, if dollars go up and it makes sense, we do it. I guess my thing here, and granted, I've been on vacation playing games so I could come back with great opinions. Has there been a new rumor swirling for an Uncharted 1 remake or a remaster? It was just a question from the, because like, fuck no, but like, let's make another Uncharted. Like, the going back in time thing, I'm less about.

32:02I would rather them go forward with where we left Uncharted 4. We've all talked about this. Spoilers for Uncharted 4. I'd rather see us. Let's pick up with Nate and his daughter, but we're playing as the daughter Cassie, right? And then Nate's our Sully and we have a lane in the mix or whatever. We go do that. I think that'd be a great way to pass the torch. And maybe even it is that it isn't Nate in the Sully role. It is. Nate is a phone call halfway through the game where he gives a piece of advice when she needs it the most. And then she's off on an adventure. You don't have to be so hackneyed as to repeat the thing, but like that would be way more fun.

32:33I would love to go off and do that. Then go back and have a young Drake moment or do something like that. You know what I mean? like no no or be solid or any of that shit like no no no let's let's uncharted is still in the zeitgeist as a brand and i think you could do a lot of fun stuff with it and i don't think it needs to be this is podcasting broad brush i don't think it needs to be as lazy as oh let's just remake one because i also just think yeah you could go get the collection you could go get this thing i miss the days where it really felt like playstation in particular let their developers do things by generational basis and then you've put it down you went cool i'm done i'm done with jack and Daxter I know there was you know lost frontier but Naughty Dog moves on right all right we're done with Uncharted which is kind of messy but we're on the last of us now there's Interstellar like let's see people go we're sucker punch right where hey we do a whole bunch of infamous we do a whole bunch of slide we do a whole bunch of infamous then we move on now we're doing a whole bunch of ghosts and what comes after that like I like that lineage and moving on and not having to double back and say okay well what about x y and z yeah it's interesting why are these conversations not being had in the boardroom or are they right of like oh they have like you the creatives and the gamers have the vision of what we all would like to see and what we want right and then there's the bean counters and the people who are like hey i'm investing a ton of money into this and i just want to see the dollars go up and that's where we kind of have this miss this disconnect here where it's like why is that not happening but we also now we're on these longer dev cycles now we are looking at a team like naughty dog who is creating a lot more titles and it's not Uncharted, right?

34:02We are kind of looking at a Todd Howard and Bethesda situation where it's like, hey, you want to go back to the thing you love? Well, that's really far down the timeline, right? And so are we bringing in a new studio to make this? Is there a new studio that's just going to do a remake of one to kind of give the people what they want with Uncharted? That's where we kind of stand right now in 2026 with this franchise. My hope here would be, and I know it's a lost hope to ever hope a corporation understands anything, But for where PlayStation is at right now, where you have, I mean, you're still in a storm when we talk about hardware.

34:35Obviously, when we talk about the ramifications of let's chase live service and that was a bad move, right? But to be almost on the other side of at least the game decisions and how you've run your studios, right? To sit there and have the lesson be, well, let's remake something, that would piss me off. Because, yeah, okay, like, I guess in theory, to what Benson's talking about, if we turn to Studio X, because it's not going to be Naughty Dog, and said, hey, remake Uncharted 1. It does become, okay, well, we're going to go through and we have to revamp the story and do different things and film new content.

35:09And at that point, you're making, I think, a new game. It would be faster because you have the bones of it and the outline, so whatever. But it'd be so much more exciting to go make another Uncharted. And I would also say, you know, as I continue to try to figure out how to make single-player games profitable and make these companies understand, I would still be like, cool, go make a new Uncharted entry that is smaller. It doesn't need to be a sprawling thing like Uncharted 4 was, right? Like, I always forget the name of it, but, you know, the Chloe and Nadine one. No, no, no. That's not right.

35:38No, it is right. It is right. Yeah, Lost Legacy. Thank you so much. But, like, make one in that size, and let's sell it for 50 bucks or whatever, and, like, let's, you know, get moving, especially as PlayStation moves to all digital. Like, let's play with that scale. Let's give you an Uncharted game. Hopefully, we're telling you in sequences that you're going to get faster. We're going to do this thing. You are speaking the dream, Greg, and it's an interesting one. Of course, I really agree with Benson here of like, you can play Uncharted. We have all that. Like it's there on modern consoles. Give me remasters and remakes of games that are hard to play or like games that don't match up well now with modern day controller settings and keyboard bindings.

36:14Like those are the remasters I want. I want the games that are so old, I can't play them anymore or like they deserve this. I don't need Uncharted 1 being remade again because I can play it right now and it feels just fine. As you all know, I know everyone here. Melodic Quest says, don't drag Nolan North out of the retirement home. Nolan North is still the hardest working man. He's fucking Deadpool right now in Marvel Tocan Fighting Souls. All right? Let's not be throwing shade about Nolan North being retired. Not to mention, if you have a child and you turn on Blaze and the Monster Machines, fucking there he is.

36:46You know what I mean? He's out there goddamn doing. I'm looking at this thing right now. He's doing more Rick and Morty, apparently. He's got Chuck E. Cheese mini episodes. hell yeah tomb raider the legend of transformers earth spark blazing the monster machines 173 episodes that's get that check god damn right he's good yeah you know what i mean he also narrates audiobooks like i'll i'll put on a kid's book every so often for ben or we used to he's kind of grown out of it i guess but like in the car and there he'd be ready to go don't be talking about nolan north all right don't do it but don't yeah don't remake this give me a new one yeah give us a new one where will the uncharted series go where are we uh it's just one i like uncharted a lot and that's one that i've been dying for of like let's get back here and yeah we're kind of we're waiting we're in the holding pattern for this one number four it's a dusk fade review roundup currently a metacritic of 78 and open critic of 84.

37:48Your Steam description reads as hopefully we see a trailer because I think I know this game but I'm not sure. Shatter the shackles of time as you jump, swing, and dash through a fantastic world in this love letter to classic 3D action platformers. Zirian, accompanied by his mechanical cuckoo. Cuckoo? Cuckoo. Cuckoo? I like cuckoo because it looks like a little bird. Yeah. Must save his sister from mysterious clock tower that has plunge the land into eternal night. Now, this is the one I think a lot of people saw and said, oh, this looks like Kingdom Hearts, right? Yeah, this is the one that we've been talking about when we do the Hey Every Game coming out in August, September, all these new games.

38:28Every time we see this, everyone kind of gets excited of like, oh, it looks like Kingdom Hearts. Like this could be something interesting for like a Tim, a Mike. Maybe the team gets behind this because the art style looks good. The gameplay looks fun from what we're watching. And so we've been kind of patiently waiting for this. Well, let's see what the reviews say, everybody. We go to Usama Maymood over at Dual Shockers who gave it a 9 out of 10. Dusk Fade reminded me that a game doesn't need to reinvent the wheel to leave an impression. Sometimes, all it takes is a colorful world, satisfying movement, charming characters, and a genuine sense of passion behind every little detail to make you feel enthralled.

39:03There are certainly areas where its simplicity may not resonate with everyone, particularly with its straightforward combat and occasionally childish writing, but I never felt like those things took away from what Weird Beluga, great dev name, set out to accomplish. If anything, they made Dusk Fade feel sincerer. It's a game that wears its inspirations proudly while still having enough personality to stand on its own. After spending so much of my life playing games, it's always nice when something comes along that makes me feel like a kid again, wandering around a colorful world and seeing what might be hiding around the next corner.

39:37okay meanwhile uh jazz sagu over at cog connected gave it a 75 out of 100 dusk fate is a confident reminder of why 3d platforms platformers once reigned supreme packed with charm and character it's a great adventure which places a movement and traversal at the forefront while the game's influences are evident and it doesn't add much to the formula it's a well-crafted adventure that reminds us why the genre remains so beloved although it doesn't reinvent the wheel it does prove there's still plenty of life left in classic 3d platforming and then final one here comes from azario lopez over at noisy pixel gave it an 8 out of 10 dusk fade is an imaginative 3d platforming adventure with a strange memorable world and satisfying exploration its lengthy pacing shallow progression and underwhelming rewards hold it back but strong platforming and a surprising amount of heart make the journey worthwhile i won't lie to you i expected harder reviews when I saw a 78 on this.

40:32Really? I thought we were going to be a little bit harder on this, but from everything from those three reviews seem positive. Seems like something I actually kind of want to check out and just give a try to you think you're going to. Yeah. I would like to give a try for this. Maybe one night just to see if I fall in love. This definitely reminds me of like, if I was 12 years old, this could be an awesome game for me. Yeah. It's definitely giving, you know, my two children tell you right now, pine, they would love this. Okay. I think they would love this. Yeah. That's a good point. Yeah. Ben will probably be looking into it.

41:02I'd seen it earlier. I'd requested a code. I hadn't had time to kick the tires on it yet. It looks good. And these reviews speak to it. I do wonder, you know, they talk about it being a little bit lengthy or whatever, and a little bit simple in the combat. I mean, I, maybe that's how I'm going to fall with it to get in there, play it for an hour or two and be like, okay, I see what you're doing, but I don't want to commit to X hours of this, but not bad for review. Mike, you playing dusk fade, Falling in love with it and never being able to stop playing Duskfade would be huge news. But I'm sick of the big news.

41:33Can I get the smallest news I need to know about? Where would I go for it? Of course, Greg. I take you to our last story, the Wii News channel, where we cover all the small news items you need to know about. Number five, the Wii News. From Nintendo Everything, the Pokemon company announced that it's shutting down Pokemon Bank. The service goes offline on February 26th, 2027. Michael I'm the new generation of Pokemon fans You're my Pokemon guy I'm the new generation of Pokemon fans I've heard the old heads forever Be pissed off at Pokemon Bank About this, that, the other, blah blah I forget We have something new that's replacing Pokemon It's already out there Yeah, that's it, right What's the fucking difference?

42:17I don't understand If you're a diehard Pokemon fan you know this well but I am not one of those of like when we got into the bank and storing Pokemon then transferring them into the new games that you're playing I never got it it's just it says bank was home for DS generation and the demon hacker says Pokemon bank death means there's zero way to transfer from GBA to modern console so again what I would call out is stop being old be new be part of it you know what I mean like I understand that you had a Charizard you really fucking loved on GBA now you got a fucking Pikachu that swings. You don't need to introduce them.

42:51They don't need to be there. You got new Galarian. Last time I checked when fucking huge ass losers like Tim start up Final Fantasy 7, they don't mourn that Rifa from fucking Final Fantasy 6 can't come over and play. It's a new fucking... It's a new game. It's a new world. I've never done all this shit. You're the voice of the new Pokemon. I'm just saying, man. I'm happy you're saying it. It's like, ditch the old Pokemon, catch new ones in the new game. Start a new life out there. Why do you want to start with a whatever? Why am I bringing Gen 6 with me? I'm a Gen 7 guy. Altaria saved my fucking bacon in that Pokemon game.

43:30Love that fucking guy. I don't need him to come over here. I'll catch another Altaria. I'll be stoked that he's there. You know what I mean? It's a new bacon. Exactly. Who's going to be the savior of this one? You know what I mean?

43:44This means something to somebody. I'm too fucking, I like two weeks in two days is too much time off content. I got too much energy. I'm overcharged over here. Anyways, that's a shame for all you bank weirdos. From Noble, Pokemon Fire, Red Version, Pokemon Leaf, Green, Pokemon Home support launches in October. You get a Celebi on Pokemon Home if you finish the Pokedex in FRLG. There you go. Still need to get back to that. You know what I mean? Yeah. I was playing Pocopia when it dropped. I was so into Pocopia. Keep that energy for the end of the year. Oh, for Pocopia? Don't worry about Pocopia.

44:23We did this on a show recently, right? Yeah, when I did Pragmata. I still think right now it's mixtape. Then it's Pocopia. Then it's probably Pragmata. Yeah, I'm saying it right. Yeah, sure. We got to get back to Leaf Green. Oh, that's the energy I need. I thought you were saying energy of remember Pocopia. I want you to remember Pocopia. Okay. But I'm impressed that you're like, I got to get back to Leaf Green. Well, it works out really well not having a Pokemon this year. That's true. Because I was hungry for it, but then I'm playing Hermit the Pig, you know, from yesterday. And that kind of fills a little bit of a turn-based gap.

44:55And then, of course, I got Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy Residence? Is it Residence? Oh, yeah, Residence. Yeah, I'm stoked for that because you know how much I love Octopath. It's going to be the same vibe there. But I know I need to get back to this. But I also am just stoked about the next Pokemon Winded Waves. We got a whole bunch of stuff going on.

You can go watch it on YouTube.com slash kindoffunnygames. At the end of it, the one and only Sam Barlow shows up to be interviewed about precognition and why he decided to show no footage.

Let the devs talk and tell you about their games and mention games that aren't there.

49:10They nailed it. And that is the end of Wii News. We move on to Super Chats to see who else has shown up to say that I was right and that everybody else was wrong. Rival Kizuna says, Greg just swinging at people. God, I miss this. That's what I'm here for. You know what I mean? A humble Psyduck says, Hey, Greg, I lost my dog Ruby. I'm sorry. Rugby a couple weeks ago. was hoping you could give him a shout out. Y 'all are great. Thanks. A humble side up. We are sorry that you lost your dog rugby. I know personally how painful it is, but that's the gig, man. Yeah. You know what I mean? All those years, hopefully you got with rugby, right?

49:54The pain you feel right now is just showing you how real that connection is and how long it'll stay with you. Look at the dichotomy of this show. I can yell at people and threaten to beat them up and then cry five minutes later.

50:07Let's get back to video games. Robbed Hood. No, Robin Hood. But he spelled it weird. How many dudes just I got how many dudes just based on Snowbike Mike's recommendation. I love it. You play how many dudes? I did. It didn't. Not your thing? No, that was my thing. It's not that it was bad. It was one of the games. I guess I also tried. Were you big into Bellatro? No, I never was. You have my questions when I think of how many dudes. I was going to recommend it to you yesterday, but I was like, I don't know where Greg kind of falls. I was like, I know you liked Vampire Survivors, but I don't know where you fall on like a, or a Bellatro.

50:38These kind of new deck building, roguelike experiences. Yeah. How deep you are into those. I really haven't been bit by one. Like there, I don't think, I can't think of. The ball pits of the world. I enjoyed it. The rack coins that. Yeah. Rack coins, I looked at it, I was like, that's not my thing. Yeah. I mean, it's, it kind of falls into, I'm not at all an insult to the game. A lot of those I feel when I look at them go, oh I see the enjoyment factor in it but for as much as I value my gaming time to spend 30 minutes with that I think would then be like okay that's 30 minutes I'm not getting with what I should be reviewing some narrative I'm trying to do some other whatever that I feel is like more my kind of game so I don't want to get into something like that where it's like okay even um I did the demo for Blood Dungeon and I was like oh man this is a lot of fun but like Blood Dungeon beyond the demo I wasn't like, I don't know if I'll be back to play 50 hours of it.

51:34I've never seen where you stand on the auto battlers. Vampire Survivors, you're clearly moving. It's an auto battler, but you're moving. There's strategy to that. There's progression in a very interesting one. With how many dudes it's simply like, this is an auto battle arena. You're going to put your dudes down in the arena and they're just going to fight and you're going to watch. When I think of you, Greg, I think of something a little more active. Yeah. We have a lot of Super Chats. Thanks everybody so much. you must have seen the show was coming in light and knew we'd have to go uh demon hacker says speaking of audiobooks how's the expanse going if memory serves i bought the audiobook for the expanse but i never started it okay is my thing right now i'm i'm reading listening to uh living dead uh this i didn't know about this i did a whole thing on gregway about it go listen to gregway if you want more on that but it's uh i'm enjoying that right now i'm like 12 chapters into that right now i'm having a great time you know how much i love okay zombie movies let alone Romero.

52:28So like this book, that's some of his stuff inspired by the guy who did shape of water. Daniel Krause. I think you're looking at it, right? Yeah, he's on it. Yeah, nailed it. We just got to like the shoe has dropped. Oh, you know, the dead walk. And I'm like, ah, this is a good build up to it. I like how this one. Uh, Zach's on Galaxian says double birthday tax. My dad's was yesterday and mine is today. Uh, we are spending two weeks in Spain, partly for the eclipse and partly to see the sights we missed the eclipse because of weather but we had a fun adventure anyway happy birthday to you and your dad yeah what a beautiful little combo there to have your birthday right after your dad that's awesome did you ever do a vacation with your family like that no i've never gone like that with my family yeah for sure no that would be wild yeah we were up and you know we're on this vacation and like jen and her sister are talking about family vacations and her sister turned to me and was like where did you guys go for i'm like we didn't and jen's like you went camping i'm like yeah we had a motor home until like the fifth grade or whatever you know what i mean like yeah we didn't like go like we went to disney once like i don't have this like built in that's cool i mean that's what we want with bet you know jen just came on the i mean you guys are killing that it's right you'll be interesting to see when he gets into his 20s and 30s yeah is it still hey mom and dad let's take a european trip together on the one time i think that's the big thing you know like so again coming off of summer vacation here it's that idea and you've probably heard it but maybe you haven't of like when you know we had Ben and maybe even Jen was pregnant she was like me and Jen are both work all looks that's you know we would work now it's off and she looked at me and she's like we get 18 summers with him so we're taking two weeks off every year to be with him and I was like alright cool like that was very hard it still is very hard today I profusely apologized as I said like I know I told you this is Gamescast I got it for the record Jen is the one who was the first one to say go just go you gotta I understand I'm like okay whatever but yeah the hope is We are building this into his life and everything.

54:21So you do get to this. It's 18 summer. Sure. But at 19, he's, we go somewhere with him or whatever. And then when he has his own family and he is 30 and again, we've, we've talked to him, even though he doesn't understand any of it, right. Of like, whatever his dream is, wherever he wants, if he moves to New York, we moves to England. I don't know. You know what I mean? It would still be that idea of like, we'll still come two weeks and be around, not in your house, get a hotel. You know what I mean? Like we'll see for dinners every other night. You know what I mean? but like we still want to keep that tradition i love it greg and i think you guys have the great and right idea for me i think you're instilling the confidence of travel which is a big deal for the youngsters right of like you're hoping at 18 to 25 you've got it in his mind that's like hey the world is there you should go out there and travel right a lot of kids get bogged down with school to work and they don't get to travel that much and it's like you're instilling in him right now it's like hey take a week go to spain yeah go to australia i'm the blue why not you know yeah 100 % I think that's something to build in there and it's gonna be really interesting even though he already gets tastes of it obviously he's come to on work trips before but even when he's older and able to self-entertain a bit more you know what I mean of like cool you and me are going to BlizzCon you know what I mean come on down and go to BlizzCon with me and sit in the audience for the one panel we have to do or whatever it is and then we'll bum around and then we'll do it yeah my son's gonna be at BlizzCon this year but not at BlizzCon you know what I mean he's in the hotel room he can't be seeing what little is up to out there oh man i was gonna say that would be a wicked mind-blowing experience there uh gavin super chat and says i played through all the uncharted games last month for the first time and i agree with everything you guys are saying but also the first one at least definitely needs a remake because it's a very old game yeah i mean i had nick play it and yeah i mean you could still play it that's the thing is like still playable but yeah it shows its age shorty sorry i wasn't understanding where i was going when i first read it with the recent show cancellations at kind of funny is tim now considered the asha sharma of the review industry of the in-review industry only time will tell p.s greg deserves the kind of funny game showdown win as always thank you i have been robbed as you know and now the doomsday device is in play yep and so kevin can i get the one tim i know you're not here i know that but when you see this when you're watching this, probably while G is cooking a lovely meal, you're entertaining baby Sammy, I need you to look around your apartment right now, all right?

56:46See the lovely life you have. See how happy all three of you are. And know that if you cash in stars in the bank, I will open the nuclear device. I will open the doomsday device. And everything you see in your living room and kitchen right now will go away. I'm begging you, as your friend, as your brother, as one of the people who spoke at your wedding, don't make me do this. Don't make me open the doomsday device. Cash in, stars in the bank on Andy or Mike, Team Purple. Just do it. Don't make me open my case. I love you.

57:36Levi Hunt Superchat and says with Greg and Mike both on the tactical train right now have either of you put any real time into Mugenics it's one of my favorites game of the year for game of the year I put 20 hours in uh it is a really fun and tough as nails game I'm really bad at it yeah I haven't figured out the breeding system quite yet yeah there's no I know I know I remember going into it. But yeah, this is a fun game. It's just too difficult for me. I think I'm like one step below that on my tactical journey. I of course respect Edmund in the games he makes. I never like the art style. I don't like the art style of Mugenics, which is a turnoff and the same thing for Binding of Isaac.

58:19I know how good it is. Jen's sister was up there playing like 300 hours still when we were hanging out at the cabin. and I was just like I get it it's just like there's other games that are that are more appealing to me that I would want to jump in visually and spend a lot of time on the cats and the puke and stuff I'm not about it Goldfish Boy says can we get merch celebrating Mike's hernias yes yeah once I once they're repaired once they're repaired get them in a jar we put them on the set oh we can auction them off during top 100 all proceeds go to me Jeff Bull Jr. says love for Tim people dunking on him for making hard decisions also welcome back Greg and get well school soon Mike if I would have redhead we wouldn't have done that you know what I mean yeah no never of course the joke about in review is fine you know what I mean that yeah I we of course we need to stop there's too many video game things we got a lot going too many preview events too many people in and out too many that's 100 % I'm not joking about the stars in the bank

59:14RC Platypus says respectfully the RPG part of Midnight Suns really grows on you once you play the game long enough again I'm 15 hours in and I just want to get through it to get back to the fun card battles. That's long enough. It's not even that the systems are bad. Like, I understand. I want to upgrade my cards. It's very fulfilling to take a card and, oh, my God, this doubled the damage by, you know, doing this thing. It's not to sit there, Tony Stark fucking moving this thing around, and they want research and they want artifacts, but, like, I'm like, come on. Make this a menu-based system.

59:44They could have done a lot of stuff here. MikeLikeMusic says, Greg, I'm meeting Troy Baker at Chicago Fan Expo tomorrow. Is there anything you want me to tell him for you? Yes, Kevin, give me the one. Mike, I need you to tell Troy Baker to call Tim in front of you and tell him not to cash in stars in the bank on me. Tell him to tell Tim that the Doomsday device is real and will ruin Tim's life. Thank you. You can even boil it down just to that. Say, Troy, I need you to call Tim Gettys right now and tell him that the Doomsday device Greg has will ruin his life. Easy. Avnut says, who wins rock, paper, scissor, Greg or Mike?

1:00:28Okay. I was going to say, rock, paper, scissor, shoot. Rock, paper, scissor, shoot. Rock, paper, scissor, shoot. Boom. Greg wins. And then final one of the day comes from ShortyZ93. Mike, post-surgery, we expect the hardest truffle shuffle you got. Oh, my God. Jesus. I'll hit one for you. No, please. I'm trying to work on the Dougie. You'll rip some stuff. I want to do the Dougie. What's the one dance move, Greg, that you wish you could master? The worm. The worm? I'd love to do the worm. Forward worm. Yeah. Yeah, because I feel like I got the backwards worm. You got the backwards worm. I got the backwards worm, but like the forward worm feels like that's the worm, like the real worm.

1:01:05Backwards worm, too easy. Fair enough. Oh, okay. There's some good, I got, I like this, I like this, I like this. Tundra Boy says, Hogwarts Legacy wasn't the only game to outsell Call of Duty. Rockstar managed the feat in 2013 with GTA 5 and then in 2018 with Red Dead Redemption 2. Nice. Dexter says, Marvel's Midnight Suns is the persona of the Marvel Universe. And that is so spoken like somebody who's never actually played a Persona game. Persona games, so good. So connected to these characters. You're fucking connected to Robbie Reyes? You're listening to this idiot fucking talk about... Y 'all need to play better games That's the problem really I guess a lot of you got kicked by a mule Forgot every game you ever played Then picked up Midnight Suns You're like this is as good as it gets And then Kabob says I said Celebi for the Pokemon Is pronounced like celery Kind of looks like an onion pixie though Huh Yeah Celebi you just hit right there at the end So that's what they want Celebi Yeah I think you hit it with the Calabi Got it thank you Good one there And that's it for your run Some people came in with some stuff about Metacritics and Starfield, but it was all smeared.
