Welcome to kind of funny games daily for Thursday, July 9th, 2026. I am Andy Cortez and I'm joined by snow bike, Michael Howard.
Good morning, Andy Cortez. I have so much to talk with you about. Yeah, I don't like that. That's better. Andy, good morning. Good morning. How are you doing today? I'm doing great. Your hair looks great. Thank you, man. Purple jacket. Awesome as always.
Thank you, man. Got the Splatoon shirt. I got a New York splat. Splatfest.
You said a word. Are we pumped for this or what?
I'm so excited. I need my damn code already.
So now it's just single player only or can we team up? No, you can team up. But there's no PVP. It's not 4v4.
No PVP.
It's like four dudes fighting fish.
You're fighting fish, yeah. It's not a fishing minigame, but you're fighting fish. Yeah. Kind of like Helldivers vibes? Uh... like no no you're not like trying to extract okay and then taking a risk by leaving it i think it's more like let's do that level with that boss because it'll drop this loot and we do it on the hardest difficulty we'll get better loot and when you're down there if you're playing solo you could make you could send out the call like in monster hunter and be like i need someone here right now i can't do this by myself or uh you know you go for that day and and you're you're mainly in the turret guy. You're like doing turrets. Cause that's how you love your play style. But I love getting up close with like the, the big rain, you know, the, the closer range guns or whatever.
Yeah. It's going to be a good time.
And then on top of that, it's going to be a good time. Andy, see a lot of voice acting coming out of you. Senior playing replaced with voice acting. I like it.
Thank you. Thank you, Mike. Man, I'm so close to beating that game. Good game. I told you about an awesome moment last night. Yeah. Followed by just what a fumble in that game. And I was like, oh, man, this is why that game got a lot of like six fives and seven, seven fives.
The traversal and just like the pathing was a little tough sometimes.
Why do you kill momentum right now? The story was killer. I mean, the story's so killer so far. And then they're just like, let's kill the momentum of this right now. Things are going a little too well.
Let's frustrate the player. Yeah. And so what about the voice acting? How's it going? We put a little spin on some characters, put an Andy on it.
You know, I like putting voices to characters in games that don't have voices.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I like that.
And it's a cool way to just practice. Instead of streaming yesterday, I spent about four hours doing that, and it ultimately just deleted everything. I was just so mad. I was like, I hate this. I just hated everything that I did. And I was like, it's 10 PM. I'm mad. Like, fuck this. And I just deleted everything.
Hey, you know what though?
After like all that work, like you still learned something. You still got something out of it. Even if you didn't put it out there, you know, I learned that like, I just can't settle for it. It's so annoying. About four different times. I talked to myself. I was like, just fucking render it and post it. Yeah. Who gives a shit? Why not? And I just kept on finding little things wrong, and then I'll fix one. And eventually, I just went into my OBS recordings folder, and I just clicked and dragged to like fucking 30 different files and hit delete. Just bring me into that room. I'll get you in that booth, and I'll be your director. I was so annoyed, Barry.
You know that we all ride for you, and we love seeing your talent. You just share the talent with the world, Andy. When's the last time you texted me?
