what is up everybody and welcome back to kind of funny games daily for tuesday march 3rd 2026 i'm heroes for today roger picorni today i'm joined by my ceo gregory james miller what's up baby huh you saw that bro everyone saw that he hit me
I'll do a lot more than that. All right. I just threatened to lay you off in the last show. I don't think you need to worry. Can we start in a nice place here? Yeah. As I'm downloading Rotwood, can we start in a nice place, please?
If you are tuning in just for KFGD, before this, we did our reactions and review of the Nintendo Indie World presentation. So if you're looking for all that news, go over there.
I gave you a little bit in here. Oh, you did.
What is the latest news on the Fallout: New Vegas remaster?
I just gave you a little bit of a run. Just a few bullet points in there. So if people are like, I hate the Gamescast and I don't want to listen to Mike, they could just get boom, boom, boom. This is the big thing you need to know from the indie world.
Yeah, for sure.
Why is Pokémon Pokopia considered the highest-rated Pokémon game?
Greg, how are you feeling? How are we doing today?
I'm feeling great. There's too many games to play, which is always the problem. It's always the issue. It's always the thing going on around here. But, you know, we saw this drop here. Mini Shoot Adventures, Rotwood, all exciting stuff. I'm all about that. Somebody calling out that Under the Island game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
So how do you deal with this immense first world problem? Right. Are you, cause I'm at the point now in my life where I was thinking of like, what if I just have a board in my house where I just start moving around like with post-it notes of like what I need to be playing? Because I like had that balance of like, I want to play games for our top hundred. Eventually there's some, there's some games that they're wind waker. There's games I want to play, but then I also have, you know, redacted all these big games that are coming up.
What are the details of Highguard's final update?
These shadow drops over here. How are you dealing with this?
I mean, it all comes down to the workload and what we're on and what I'm needed for for a review or preview. Today I'm previewing a redacted game we talked about in the last episode. We can confirm we have Crimson Desert and we're working on a review for that for the day before release, which I think is the 17th. Don't quote me on that if that's right. Whatever Mike said in the last show. So like... that kind of game is going to take priority, right? Everyone wants to have an opinion on that. I need to go play that and see if I should be on that review. If somebody else should be, a lot of codes are here obviously for it. So this other stuff, this smaller stuff falls by the wayside. Yeah. One of the reasons I was giving you shit in the show of like, let's do Rotwood for party mode is like, that's my chance to play Rotwood.
I don't know what repo is. I don't care.
This is my shot to play a game.
You know what I mean?
That's the downside of the job. in quotes, is that I don't know how Mike and Andy do it. But they go home and stream for hours and they don't stream the thing they're reviewing. Now, granted, they have lots of free time that I don't have, both as CEO, as husband, as father. There's just so much going on. Yesterday, Barrett was on the couch playing Pokemon on the big screen out there. And I walked over and just laid down and started, but Kobe's like, I cannot look at my computer. This close to GDC and everything else that's going on and the schedule. announced the indie world yesterday. The amount of planning it goes to run this ramshackle business, I was just like, I need to play Pocopia for 20 minutes and not worry about what's going on over there.
