What's up and welcome to Kinda Funny Games Daily for Tuesday, August 4th, 2026. Of course, I'm your host, Tim Geddes. I'm joined today by the master of hype, Snowbike Mike. How you doing? Tim Geddes, I'm fantastic because I get to see your face to kickstart the day. I love it, man. Me and you on back-to-back shows. We're on Games Daily. We're about to be on Gamescast. You just did an amazing Halo stream on Friday.
Yeah.
Halo on Gamescast, Fire Emblem Fortunes Weave here on the podcast on Kind of Funny Games Daily. It's a killer day. It's a killer day.
Lots to talk about, including Kind of Funny Games Showdown. I don't want to spoil anything, but your episode of our Who Wants to Be a Millionaire knockoff, insert coin to continue, went up yesterday. And everyone needs to watch it. Everyone needs to watch this. I re-watched it. I was here live when it happened, but I watched it and... First off, shout out to Bless and Raj for killing it. Great job. Making the show look so damn good. I will never forgive you for your sins. Tune in to find out what I do. You commit to it. Even afterwards, you're like, oh, yeah, didn't even know. I had a plan, Tim. I had a plan. I stuck to it. Y'all need to watch to find out what I'm talking about because, Mike, you – the way that your brain works needs to be studied.
You know, Tim, you're giving it to me just like last night. I got it from Gary Whitta.
Yeah.
Gary Whitta got on the phone with me, and he gave me about an hour-long Gary Whitta rant. Yeah? Oh, yeah. He was mad at me. Can you talk about what? Oh, yeah, because I didn't respond. Well, he wrote, how many dudes? And I wrote, Gary, this game's great. And he wrote, Goatee. I didn't respond past Goatee. Oh, so he called you and got bad? He called me, got on me. That sounds like Gary. That sounds about right. And then, Tim Geddes, just to give a little taste, last night I kicked on Shadow of the Colossus for the first time. No! Tim, I love you. Tim, this game rocks, bro. Yeah, it does. Tim, I'm playing the PS4 version. I love the PS4 version. Let me tell you what. This kid doesn't know how to swim, but man, I got up in this birdcage, and it was flooded.
And I crawled, and I swam, and I swam, and I crawled up on top of this rock, and I looked at the bird, and I was like, ooh, ooh, ah, ah. I'm trying to come. Get over to me. And it's not moving. I drew back my bow and I shot this thing, Tim, and it fucking elevated off the perch and it started soaring at me. And I'm going, this is the craziest video game I've ever played. And Tim, I promise you, it soared at me like a hawk looking at a gopher. And I jumped at the last moment and I grabbed a hold of its fur. And next thing I know, I'm on top of its wings and we're flying around the avium and I'm like, ah! It's the greatest game ever.
In the same way that you were shocked that they were making games like Ocarina of Time in 1998, how wild is it that Shadow of the Colossus is a PS2 game from 2005? Are we not making more of these? And the remake is... Very faithful. It's so good, Tim. It's what a experience that game is. I can't imagine being you playing all the 3D Zeldas back to back, playing Celeste, playing Shadow of the Colossus, Fire Emblem, Three Houses.
You are on such a tear. I'm on a journey, Tim. Oh, my God. This is like Zelda. It's so much like Zelda. You open up. It's a guy on a horse. He's holding something underneath a blanket. Epic music. Beautiful world. You're like, oh, man, what's going on? It's like, oh, man. Dead wife. You know what I mean? Dead wife, dude. Thieves and dead wife.
