What's up and welcome to Kinda Funny Games Daily for Monday, August 17th, 2026. Of course, I'm your host, Tim Geddes, and I am joined today, making her return to the show. It's host and creator of Gaming Decoded, Andrea Renee.
What's good, Tim? So nice to see you.
Nice to see you, Andrea. It has been way too long. I feel like the last time I saw you was WrestleMania, not even last year. Not even the year before. It must have been like the three years ago one. Maybe I'm wrong.
No, I've definitely seen you before then. Like no, you know what? It was two years ago. It
was two years. It's still a long time. How are you doing?
I'm doing really well. It's been a very interesting year in terms of what's happening in the gaming world. And my daughter just started kindergarten. We were talking about what is the passage of time. It's wild.
I know.
What new Kingdom Hearts news was revealed at D23?
Um but yeah, it's uh it's going well. Thank you.
Yeah, that is exciting. You just spent the weekend at D twenty three. I'm very jealous.
I did.
I've never been to one
Oh that is so tragic, Tim. We have to fix that. No
D twenty three and no Star Wars celebration. I'm just like, man, I would have so much fun at these things, but I get it. There's stuff we have to do here, this whole life thing, you know. Ugh.
Yes, it's true. But I feel like the next one we need to like plant the seeds now so that you can come down and and experience the magic. I mean, it really is like something truly special. And I'm happy to tell a couple of anecdotes, but I had some really fun run ins while I was there. I
I well go for it. That's what this is all about, this little rigmal section of the show.
Well So anybody who knows that I enjoy Disney or has seen my bounding outfits on Instagram knows that Ariel is my girl. Princess Ariel, Little Mermaid Under the Sea. It's uh it's my vibe. Um obviously the red hair is a huge part of that. Um I've been a huge fan for a long time. I decided for D23, I was like, I don't want to go hard because like they have really amazing cosplayers at D23, like Comic-Con. So it's like, I'm just gonna go for a casual bounding look. And for people who aren't familiar with the bounding is when you go to the Disney parks, you as an adult are not allowed to wear costumes as the favorite characters because they don't want guests, kids, et cetera, confusing you with the actual cast members who work at Disney.
So if you want to dress up like your favorite characters, you have to do this thing called bounding, which is like, you know, casual. Version of what the character wears. And I have several of these looks for Ariel. And so I wore one of them to the show. And this producer walked up to me randomly and was like, What are you doing in like 45 minutes? And I was like, Uh, if I didn't work in video, this would have been like a really random, weird conversation to just start with somebody. But I was like, uh, what is it? And he was like, Well, we're doing a surprise video shoot with someone that's. That's part of your world, wink wink. I was like, what does that mean? I was like, hey, I'm here, I'm here for it.
Let's go.
How did Tetsuya Nomura assure Kingdom Hearts 4 won’t be delayed?
And so then I show up where he tells me to meet, and it's these people in incredible costumes, handmade, hoop skirts, the wigs, full makeup, everything. And here's me, my casual bounty look, feeling like very inadequate. But I'm like, okay, I'm just gonna be here as the casual girl. That's fine. And then they have us all face the same direction. And then up from behind walks, Jody Benson.
Very cool.
That is so cool.
