Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Monday, January 19th, 2026. I'm your host, Blessing, Addy Oye Jr. Joining me is the Nitro Rifle, Andy Cortez.
What a tease with that Rockstar story.
You know, story number three, you would think that Rockstar exploding would make it to story number one, but it was a small explosion.
They figured it out. You show that before an episode, and then you hit with the intro song of the TV show, and you're like, whoa, I'm here.
What is the release date for Marathon?
I'm sat for the next hour. What happened?
It was a boiler room, apparently. It happens. Have you ever experienced an explosion? Like in your vicinity or heard one go off?
No, when me and Mike were riding Lime scooters in LA after Summer Game Fest and people were popping fireworks, but we thought we were being bombed.
What rumors are there about a new Resident Evil remake?
We thought LA was under attack. It was that loud with how much the sound reverberated around the tall buildings. And it was legitimately horrifying. Yeah. And then we saw like people running from the scene. We're like, what is going on? It was very scary.
There's nothing scarier than the sound of like a legit explosion.
It was a deep rumble. This wasn't like a pat, pat, pat, like a high treble hype. It was like a like one of those things.
When I lived in Seattle, maybe the first month or two of living in Seattle, there was a gas leak explosion that happened down the street from me, like in a restaurant down the street from me at like 2 or 3 a.m. in the morning. It was one of those ones where like it woke me up. I heard it. It was like when I wake up and like I can kind of like feel the house like rumble a little bit. I was like, what was that? At first I was like, was that lightning? Like did something get... struck or something and then i was like maybe it was a car accident because i started hearing uh police sirens come through i'm like what the fuck is happening and then like i opened up twitter and people that were neighborhoods away like miles away were like yo did y'all did y'all hear that like what happened i didn't know until the morning app pops up like i came into work the next morning they're like y'all hear about the restaurant that exploded i was like did i hear about it y'all motherfuckers i heard it that shit was crazy i experienced quite the explosion of emotions over the weekend beating your automata ending b
This game is so much better, and it was already hyped up more than I could have imagined. Yeah. This game is so much better than what the hype was. There's a reason why I ride or die for Nier Automata. And there was people in the chat that were like, finally, somebody had kind of funny Yoko Taro pill. Then I was like, no, no, no, no, no.
What happened at Rockstar North recently?
Blessing loves Nier Automata.
I get shamed, though, for loving Nier Automata, because y'all think I like it because of the titties. And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. There's a story here.
He likes it for the booty. Yeah, no.
I like it for... One, I like it for the gameplay. But then, like...
