Chapter 1: Who are the hosts discussing today's gaming news?
Today's stories include the Mario Kart Direct is 15 minutes long. We got some big Xbox updates and Destiny 2 is about to get some big reveals. We'll have all this and more because this is kind of funny games daily. Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Wednesday, April 16th, 2025. I'm one of your hosts, Blessing Adeoye Jr. Joining me is the master of hype, Snowbike Mike.
Good morning, Bless. How are you, man? I'm happy to be back with you. Thanks for having me on Kind of Funny Games Daily. Nice to join you and talk some game news.
Chapter 2: What is 'Bionic Bay' and why is it on the wishlist?
Yeah, I'm doing pretty good today, Mike, because CJ Splitsit in chat says, Who has Bionic Bay on Fantasy Critic from KF? And I'm happy to report that I have Bionic Bay in my Fancy Critic.
If you didn't think Blessing didn't have that, one step ahead of you. Now, what is Bionic Babe?
Bionic Bay.
B-A-Y.
That's why you were asking me about boobies before this. Well, because you started giggling. I was like, okay, is it a hot chick? No, Bionic Bay is a 2D play. There's nothing about this game that would say boobies. Okay, okay. Right now on Fancy Critic, the open critic is at a 92, meaning it's getting me 24 points. That will drop. This is the initial first wave. The embargo just dropped.
This could drop by so many points.
I'm not... You gotta think positively, man. It could go up, too. It's not gonna go up.
That's not how this works. The more reviews come in, the more negative people come in. Barrett is saying, I mean... Oh, Barrett's coming in.
I will say Blueprints started at like a 92, went down, and then went back up.

Chapter 3: What is the new RuneScape Dragon Wilds survival crafting game about?
Everybody's back.
Well, I know you're like, I'm thinking of like who all would be on the cast. Cause I'm thinking Roger played it too.
Oh yeah.
But like Roger gave up Roger's week. What? Yeah. You don't remember? You played like seven hours and was like... That's crazy.
My boy Washi trashed it. He wasn't happy with it. But it's like, Washi, get out of here. Get some taste. People don't know good-ass video games. You know what I'm playing right now? What's that? RuneScape in 2025. Dude, I've been seeing this. New survival crafting game in RuneScape? What's it called? RuneScape Dragon Wilds? It's called RuneScape Dragon Wilds. Dragon Wilds.
And you know, me and Andy, we love our survival crafting games. Mm-hmm. And this one dropped on me out of nowhere. Just browsing Twitch last night before I was about to go live. And I saw Shroud playing. And I was like, RuneScape has a survival crafting game since when? It literally dropped yesterday. It dropped yesterday. It was only announced a couple months ago. Crazy. So I bought it.
Bought a bunch of copies for my friends to force them to play with me. Because you know how I deal, right? And I fell in love with it. At the beginning, the opening, it's just like every other survival crafting games. But it has its hints.
of what it's going to do a little bit differently and what i really enjoyed was it felt and looked like velheim but in just a smaller different art style which appealed more to my senses here and i loved chopping wood but i liked the use of magic that they got going on here i like the small tweaks and elevation to combat of course you know me i love building a good little farmstead home and getting lost in it
I'm going to siege a castle tonight. There's a dragon that I'm definitely going to take out of the skies here. Me and Madoc did one of the dungeons, and I really liked the little 3D platforming puzzles they got going on here. I liked the monsters inside of it. It felt like another good survival crafting game, and it got me because I love RuneScape, and I like the idea of playing with four friends.

housekeeping for you we're an 11 person business all about live talk shows today after kft you're going to get games cast which is us going through andy's steam wish list we did it with greg we're going to do it now with andy a lot of i want my up to bat how do you feel about this you want your up to bat on the steam wish list do you put stuff in your steam wish list also i
I do. I do. I usually put games that I think would be good for kind of funny streams slash like me and my friends playing. So they're probably more multiplayer focused as opposed to maybe Andy and yours, which is like the curated. Hey, this is what blessing wants to play. Mine is more work focused of like, hey, try not to forget that game. That could be a good stream game later on.
So I'm not worried about it because like. I just talked about Final Fantasy X for like two weeks. You know what? That's very fair. I've had my moments.
Now I'm super excited to talk about Andy's. But now I'm like, I'm itching. Your turn. I'm itching. I'm like, let me talk about my Steam list.
You know what? I like it because, as you know with Andy, a lot of unaccounted four hours. A lot of unaccounted four hours. And I want to know what he's got on that Steam list, okay? Tell me what. What's on your list?
You think we're going to find out about the hours through the Steam list? You think his wish list is going to tell us where he is? What's Andy doing?
I'm excited to hear yours too, Bless. It's like, what draws your eye?
Are you... I mean, you know what draws my... Give me... What are the three adjectives you would use to describe my gaming tastes based on what you know about me?

Chapter 5: What are the details and hype around the Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct?
I'm on the studio in Hex. Those are my two must-watches. Oh, I need to catch up on the studio. Barrett's got me back on anime with Lazarus and My Hero Vigilantes.
Yeah.
So that's kind of where I'm at.
I got to watch the one that I keep talking about, the Adult Swim, like, drug drama. Side effects? Yeah, common side effects I got to get back onto. This is a lot of TV happening. Then the stream after that is GTFO with the dev team.
Yeah, this is a fun one, of course. As you know, Andy did a preview for Den of Wolves and got Greg excited because it's a PvE experience, not PvP. And that's what 10 Chambers is known for with GTFO, which is this like super intense kind of horror style first person shooter that like has you solving puzzles and like getting through certain levels. And Greg got really interested in that.
So we hit up the dev team. They said, hey, let's go have some fun, make a dope stream. So get ready for that.
if you're a kind of funny member you can get today's greg way which is 15 minutes about if the drama and shenanigans he misspelled shenanigans around stars in the bank is real or scripted oh thank well maybe he didn't misprint because it doesn't have the red line under shenanigans no he's missing the a he misspelled it oh okay he said shenanigans well it's a tough word to spell you know yeah let's get andy to spell and andy can spell anything why doesn't it have the red line under it that seems wrong well i'm gonna google this word
Yeah, no, that's not a real word. That's not a real word. He made that up. Thank you to our Patreon producers, Anatoly Ost, Delaney Twining, Carl Jacobs, and Omega Buster. Today we're brought to you by Imperial Factor and Shady Rays, but we'll tell you about that later. For now, let's begin with what is, and forever will be, the Roper Report. It's time for some news. We have six stories today.
A baker's dozen. Starting with our number one. I definitely forgot to number these stories. Starting with story number one. Nintendo confirms Mario Kart World Direct runtime. This is Jordan Miller at Video Games Chronicle. I do have a Super Chat question for you. Like I mentioned before, what are your predictions slash hopes slash dreams for the Mario Kart World Direct?

Chapter 6: What online features and improvements do fans want in Mario Kart World?
And for you, because I view you as more of the, I guess, like, you probably played online in this game more than I did. I played a lot. I played a lot of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but I feel like online wasn't necessarily my go-to outside of, I don't know, maybe playing with some friends on Discord or whatever. But I assume, you being Snow White, Mike, were you organizing tournaments?
Were you organizing community stuff?
I think we did do a Mario Kart tournament. Barrett might have won it, to be honest with you, because he's crazy. But yeah, we definitely put them together. I liked the lobby system. I appreciated that it was easy to get friends into the lobby. But if you remember, and from what I remember, and I'm sure Bear can correct me, it was always just like a game of chance on how the races went.
If you remember, we'd all kind of pick what race you wanted, and then it would randomize it, right? And so... I always wanted a little more control of, well, hey, if I have all my friends here, let me pick the Grand Prix. Let me pick the eight races that we're going to play through here instead of kind of leaving it up to chance. I never loved that.
And when I think of what I see here, right, there's a couple other things now with the free roam stuff where now it feels like, hey, I need my own dedicated room to say, hey, we're not bringing in 28 players. I just want four people, and we're going to choose hand by hand. And that has to happen, right? Yeah, I would think so.
I think the fact that you have the online lobby being a drive-around sort of area, I don't think you're going to be in the... You know how they had it as you're looking at the planet, and then you had people. You're just sitting on a screen telling people you're using tilt controls.
you know like i don't expect that i expect it to be more of a hey we're hanging out kind of thing here and with that yeah i would hope that you have a bit more control as far as yeah like i wanted to be me and my friends fucking around but then also being like all right this is the race that we're gonna do and hopping in there and
Allowing you as the lobby leader or your party to have full control over the way you want to play.
It will be interesting because now you add that knockout mode you brought up, right? Bless is that where you do the four races and then like you're racing in between. But every time if you're on the backpack, you get eliminated. Then the backpack again gets eliminated and you keep going forward. So it'll be interesting to see those of like, are those just a quick time?

Chapter 7: How will the new open-world area and collectibles enhance Mario Kart World?
Yeah, to, like, add to your radio station. If you're doing an open-world driving game, you kind of have to have a radio.
if you don't have a radio then that's kind of that's a missed opportunity well they have great music already like you said it would be interesting just to maybe just switch tracks and pick what track you're on because yeah it'll be very interesting of like you're on this track right let's just call it Moo Moo Meadows and we're just exploring is it always just that song playing will it loop to something different because we're out there for 20 minutes driving around
and that's what i'm saying yeah and do i have control of skip this one i don't like that song let me go to this one another one would be fun i know now we're kind of getting into the open world tropes here but like what if we did roll up on luigi and he was like hey race me to the other side over here on this day i think you have to have that like just something like that where it's like you kind of there's more incentive to keep driving and there's things to do instead of just us like all right we're just kind of putzing around here i will like um
I mean, different types of races. Obviously we've already seen the knockout mode, right? Which is really cool. And that's a longer mode. I, to your point of what if I pull up on, on Luigi, like what if it is a, Hey, you pull up on Luigi and it is a short race. It is, Hey, we're drag racing and you have a minute to like get to the other side of wherever this thing is.
like i want to see them play with that format because they now they have the space to do it right before when it was no here's your here's your grand prix it is four tracks and the four tracks more traditional whatever like i understand why you don't have that variation i think i'm in a mode that maybe i'm painting this too much to be like forza horizon or whatever yeah the world loves forza horizon and this is your shot to do it i'll love to see that kind of variety i'll love to talk to characters i'd love to have it be a diddy kong racing i'm sure the chat or barrett can correct me but do you know how many people are allowed in the free roam
No. How many of my friends can gather with me to go and do free roam? Because I don't expect 24, but I would love more than four, right? Like, I do think we all have these friend groups of, like, eight people would be pretty sweet to drive around in this open world kind of hangout format.
I would like to see that. That's where... I start to wonder how they do it, where I think when you're driving around with your friends, that's a lobby mode. I don't think you're going to have the collectibles and missions and stuff like that.
Oh, no, that would be a miss. That would suck.
Yeah, but I think they save that stuff for single player. I think that's just how you lobby up and hang out, but then the purpose there is to usher you into whatever race you want to do. I think single player is where you're running into Luigi and being like, yo, let's drag race.

Chapter 8: What characters, vehicles, and battle modes are expected in Mario Kart World?
Is by racing them?
Also, what's with the, like, are you, the costumes, from what I understand, right, is like you get an item in a race and then it'll change costumes. Is that how you're permanently unlocking costumes and stuff like that? Like, I hope that's something that they, like, address a bit more clearly tomorrow.
And to be clear, when I was playing, in the character select screen, you would have regular Mario, regular Peach, and all that stuff. But then you would also have their costumed selves, like different versions of their costumes, in that same character select screen. Okay. So they are permanent unlocks. Okay. But yeah, they didn't really specify how you permanently unlock them.
Also, if there's no Shy Guy and no Link at launch, that really sucks for me. Those are my two mains.
What about Hydro Thunder over here with the jet skis and the airplanes? What was that like? Is that an instant switch like that Sonic racing where we just get to that and all of a sudden it changes on the fly like that?
Yeah, I don't remember.
Will there be jet ski races only or no?
No, I don't think so. Yeah. No, it's like immediate. Like you hop in, you're in the sky and then your, your cart transforms or your cart like gets wings or whatever flies, but it's not like, Oh, this is a jet ski race. Even though maybe there's a, maybe there is a, like a track that's all water or whatever. And they have you on that. That'd be fucking sick.
But I don't, I don't, I don't get the vibe, but that's where, that's where they're going.
