What's up, everybody, and welcome to Kinda Funny Games Daily for Friday, June 26, 2026. Of course, I'm your host, Tim Geddes, and I'm joined by the man that's matching me, Snowbike Mike. A lot of sixes.
I'm matching you.
You're matching me. We're matching each other.
We're feeling it today, Tim. What are you feeling today? Tim, I want to tell you, we got good news today. Yes, we do. And I got some good news for you. A lot of people are saying, I'm back. You're back? Last night, Tim, two nights ago, I'll set the stage. Two nights ago, I got beat down. I got hit with an obstacle that I couldn't overcome. For many of you, I'm currently playing The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword, and I'm having the time of my life. First two nights, I'm having a blast. I'm lost in Skyloft. I'm having so much fun with the lore, the world, the art direction of this game. I'm smiling from ear to ear going, more Zelda all the time. And then people were like, Mike, this is a Wii game. You need motion controls.
And I will say, I was the first two nights just kind of flinging my sword around on my pro controller, having fun, getting by it. Then on night number three, I met the boss. And he said, oh, Mike, you need to be playing on motion controls. You need the control. Of the Wii remote. You need to be able to control your sword as Link like no one else can. You need to kingdom come deliverance to this thing. And I said, I don't want to do that. And I bashed my head against the wall back and forth and I couldn't overcome this challenge.
And you walked up to me yesterday and you said, Tim, I'm having the best time, but I hit a wall and I'm going to come back to that wall. And if I can't get through it, I'm putting this game done.
So, Tim, last night, I blasted the best Disney training montage music you could imagine. Hercules, Lion King, Mulan. I'll make a man out of you. Mulan, there we go. I'm playing all of your favorites. It's a goofy movie. Okay. And I'm just sitting there. Yeah. Smashing this Joy-Con, whipping it all around. And I'll tell you, last night, I stepped up to the challenge.
You overcame everyone.
I defeated the second temple. I had one hell of a time. And just like Zelda's, Goddess is protector. You know, she looked right at me. She said, you were late, Link. Let that sting a little. Damn. And I said, I said, I feel this. Feel the sting. Feel the burn. I feel this sting. And I'm going to go and complete the trials now. And I'm going to get stronger and better for when my moment has to come. Because just like Lady Yuna on her journey, she had to go off on a journey. So do I. And I'm going to go off on this journey to get better so I can meet Princess Zelda when she needs me the most. Mike, I want to let you know.
I'm so back, Tim.
i'm such a proud father you know and it has nothing to do with samira god i love you it's all you battle fantasy 10 going down the z-hole you were experienced peak man god this is such a what a time to be alive do you know mike do you remember e3 2009 i want to say when skyward sword was first revealed might have been 2010. Shigeru Miyamoto comes out on stage and they did a live demo and he's up there waggling and it just wasn't working. It just wasn't working. When we have a less busy news day, we'll have to pull up. But it's one of those all-time moments of like, oh, bro, this just ain't working.
