How did hosts introduce today’s headlines and Patreon Pledge Month?
It's Kind of Funny's Patreon Pledge Month. Support us at patreon.com slash kindoffunny. We really appreciate it. Today's gaming stories include analysts predict GTA 6 sales, more of the Xbox layoffs aftermath, and some neat Nintendo updates. We'll have all this and more because this is Kind of Funny Games Daily.
What's up and welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Thursday, July 16th, 2026. Of course, I'm your host, Tim Geddes, and I'm joined by Blessing Adeoye Jr. Good day, Tim. Good day to you. My first Games Daily in like, it feels like 15 days.
I was going to say, I feel like it's been a while since I've hosted with you in particular.
I was off for six days, so I think that goes a long way. Yes. And then there's weekends, and then there's all this stuff.
And then I was gone for a little bit as well, too. That's true. That's true.
So, yeah, this is nice.
Did you already talk about Pokemon Go and all that stuff?
Well, Gamescast today is going to be a 10-year retrospective of Pokemon Go with Andrew Goldfarb and the director of the game. That's really cool. VP of product for Pokemon Go is going to be joining us in the studio. Really exciting. Awesome guy named Michael. I say all that, and he is fancy. He's very fancy.
What were the hosts’ reactions to Pokemon Go’s 10-year retrospective and museum visits?
But he's also just a cool dude that we hang out with at Pier 39 all the time, catching Pokemon.
Oh, that's fun.
It's pretty legit.
That's really cool. Was he able to go to New York to the thing that you went to?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's really cool. I hung out there with him, too. So, yeah, it's like, that's where we asked him. I was like, hey, do you want to come on the show? He's like, yeah.
This was a lot easier than I expected. I think I... knew that you were going to New York for this thing, but I don't think I internalized that you were going to New York for this thing. So when I saw you posting about it, I was like, hold up, this looks way more cool than I thought. Oh, it was crazy, dude.
Like, yeah. I can't wait to hear about it. I want to save it because, yeah, I want to save it more for the show. But, I mean, dude, it was... one of the craziest, most special experiences of my life. It was definitely the... There were 2,000 people here, and we are all shaking and on the brink of tears for how hype this is and how much this moment means to the people.
It was... It was wild. While you were doing that, I was also doing a Pokemon theme thing that I already talked about, but I went to the Pokemon Fossil Museum in Chicago. You didn't talk to me about it. I didn't talk to you about it. Was it cool? It was really cool. It was really fun. It's definitely something you bring a kid to, though. It was me and another friend. Not one of those. You have one of those. That's the thing. It's like, I don't know how long it's going to be around, but I'm sure, I'm sure it's something that they'll sunset bring back all those things. But whenever Sammy is around like five years old, six years old, I'm sure when, whenever they open it in San Francisco or whatever, you got to take her.
That's enough.
the kabutos oh my god do it i mean that's one of the things that you could i not that's pretty cool so literally but there was a place where toward the end of it there were interactable things where it's like you open a thing and then you can kind of see the fossil outline and then there's another thing where you can hold up a flashlight to like find certain things but it was very much kiddie stuff that me and my other 32 year old friend weren't going to yeah yeah yeah But it was still really fun to just go around, see all of the inspirations for the different fossil Pokemon and see that they actually have origins as far as, oh, Kabuto was really based off of this very specific fossil. Oh, the Helix fossils, this thing, right?
All respect to Helix God. Respect to Helix God. Like seeing those one for, man, Pokemon. What's that called? Which plays Pokemon. Which plays Pokemon. Legendary. There will never be anything like that.
Never again. Not to derail so hard, but man. How wild is it that like,
