Is Xbox being sunsetted according to its co-creator?
We'll have all this and more because this is Kinda Funny Games Daily.
Yo, what's up? Welcome to kind of funny games daily for Wednesday, February 25th, 2026. I want your host blessing at a junior. Join me is the master of hype snow bike.
Mike bless my guy. Good to see you.
What did the new Xbox CEO say about AI integration?
I want everyone to know. I did not know that this was going to be the title of today's episode before I jumped in. First of all, you know how this works.
You know how this works. I saw somebody in chat that was like, oh, this is a dumb headline. Well, guess what? Tell that to Seamus Blackley. He's the one who's saying it. We're going to talk about that. Okay. Seamus Blackley. What are we doing? Okay. That's the whole conversation. Right. And also, you motherfuckers want to hear about Xbox. We're going to talk about it.
We got to talk about Xbox. Big article just came out from Jez talking with nothing where they said nothing.
Did you read my mind? It's a nothing burger.
What is the first look at the Backrooms movie about?
Oh my blessing.
But also, listen, I'm not trying to talk shit. I'm not going to talk shit. I was going to talk shit.
I'm not going to talk shit. Well, here's the deal. It's a nothing burger because simply put, she is coming into a new role.
Why did Amazon abandon its open world driving game?
She has a lot to learn. It's like that little Uzi vert. I just got here like yesterday.
What is the significance of Discord's age verification delay?
Yeah, I just got here yesterday.
I'm just out of here.
This is my new job.
What are the implications of Nacon filing for insolvency?
I just got here. I don't have much to say. You come back, okay?
Why did Clint Hocking leave Ubisoft amid franchise changes?
And that's simply how this is. She is coming into a new role. She has a lot to learn on top of everything. But, like, she's not making decisions tomorrow. So, like, you're going to wait some time. Here's my beef, right? Tell me.
You had gamesindustry.biz. You have Bloomberg, Jason Schreier. You got the game business, Christopher Dring. You have IGN. You have a list of people that you can go to to have that first big interview, big conversation, lay out like, all right, where are we at with Xbox? I don't know. I feel like the place that you went isn't the place that you go if you're trying to have a good interview, if you're trying to get something that is like... Windows Central. It has Windows in the title of the website. Here's the deal. I don't go to Jez for my fucking objective journalism about a big corporate shakeup at Xbox.
It's just a fine opening interview. There will be many more interviews in the next three to six months. It's just fine. There's nothing to be said.
And we're going to go to the person that's going to make sure that they're okay with us saying nothing. What do you want to do, grill her on day one? Ask questions that are good. Have somebody that's going to follow up. Have somebody that's going to ask questions that matter. Have somebody that's not going to fucking serve you the most softballs of questions. Have somebody that's going to give an objective answer.
fucking stance. I'll get on the line with the crew. We'll get a hold and we'll get an interview for you. I'm crashing out, Mike.
It's all pissing me off today.
I'm crashing out. Before we start the show, hey, Bless, how are you? I didn't see what you did last night. Did you stream? What did you do?
No, I went to Oakland. Oh, my God. Yes, I went to the Grand Lake Theater. So cool. Because I got to watch Sinners in 70 Millimeters at Grand Lake, which is Ryan Coogler's favorite theater. And Ryan Coogler, the director of Sinners, was in attendance. so sick when i tell you i was so excited was there a vibe was there like an air to it all of like this is something special oh for sure yeah it was so shout out to the people that brought us out this is part of um this is being organized by sf film um but they reached out to us as like a press outlet to come through and get to experience this and so like it was cool to be invited shout out to kevin who relayed the invite to me because they hit up kevin because kevin is our movie and tv contact movie bro
