Chapter 1: What did Phil Spencer confirm about the Xbox handheld?
Yeah. All good.
How's easy allies doing down there? I, it's been way too long since I've seen any of you.
Yeah.
So thank you for coming through today.
It's fun to be up here. I never get to come up to SF, so it's really cool. Yeah. But LA is good. It's warmer.
How's my baby boy Huber doing?
Yeah.
Everyone go send Hubert some sweet nasty love. All right.

Chapter 2: Is Microsoft still pursuing acquisitions after buying Activision Blizzard?
He deserves it. Ask me that two weeks ago. The answer is he's great. Yeah. But yeah. No, we're good. Yeah, we're good. It's fun. It's crazy. You know. Yeah.
What you been playing recently?
I've been playing. I just got an iPhone for the first time like two days ago, which has been very emotional because I've been an Android person for like 100 years. So I was trying out like Warframe on that. I was playing Alien Isolation on that.
So why? It's pretty cool.
Why now? Just need some change? I just did it. I don't really know. Are you enjoying the experience so far? I've gone insane. It's good so far, I think. It's kind of good.
How's the gaming on it for you?
Actually pretty good. The screen is really good. I'm a convert. It's a boomer phone in some ways because it doesn't let you do certain things, but I like it otherwise.

Ooh, that looks good.
I don't know when I'm going to talk about it, but soon. Soon I'll talk about it. And I went to Digital Eclipse's studio, and I've never been there before. Really cool spot. Their lobby is a full-on 80s arcade. Oh, I love that. They have the rug and the black lights, tons of real arcades, arcade machines, full bar. Like they just went hard with this.

Chapter 4: What is Sony teasing for PlayStation's 30th anniversary?
And we had maybe like an hour before the event started to just kind of hang out. And they had a DDR extreme machine. And I was like, I looked at that and the temptress that is DDR. I can't say no.
Yeah.
So I played, and I don't got it like I used to. You know what I mean? My brain can see the arrows. My body understands it, but I just can't get there as fast as I need to. I got through one and a half songs, and, you know, DDR usually plays three songs. I'm one and a half in, and I'm like, I don't know if I have one more in me. Do I have this? I don't know if I have it in me. I did it.
I pushed myself, and I'm still feeling it. Still feeling it today. But the lesson of that story, everybody, no matter how old you get, no matter how beat up your body is, never say no to Dance Dance Revolution.
Yeah.
It makes you a better person.
My buddy that I'm staying in town here with while we've been here, before he had kids, we drove four hours to go to see a new DDR machine that they got at a round one in the city of industry.

Chapter 5: What new games are being announced?
Love that.
And he was like, yeah, it's okay. And I played the Silent Hill Arcade machine, which sucked.
Silent Hill Arcade? What's that even look like?
bad. It was just like all fog and then like a little nurse would come out and you'd kind of shoot at it with a broken gun and then it was, you know, that was it. That's it, man.
Arcades. What a lost treasure to everybody. Today after Games Daily, you're going to get a kind of funny games cast that is our LEGO Horizon Adventures review. Oh, thank you very much. There it is. It is exactly as you would explain. Man, recently I saw a video that Barrett, if you could do me a favor, I think I posted it in random a couple, like, last Friday, I want to say.
I saw a video of this guy absolutely crushing it at Time Crisis 2 in an arcade. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Chapter 6: What updates are there on EA CEO's potential job at Disney?
Yeah.
It was, like, a choreographed, like, full-on performance. And it's, like, the coolest video I've ever seen. And then Blessing, as I shared it to Slack with everybody, and Blessing was like, I met that man. I saw him do it live.
Whoa. Tim, I'm so sorry to say. The post has been deleted.
No. Oh, man. That's so upsetting. That's so upsetting. Forever Enders says Don interviewed him.
Chapter 7: What are the latest developments in arcade games?
Yes, that guy. Yeah. Don interviewed him. It's a great video. If you know Don Casanova from Easy Allies, he does real weird, crazy stuff. He just went to a pinball expo and did like four videos based on that. But yes, he did interview that guy. I think he's like friends with that guy.
I'm pretty sure. I love how small the world can be sometimes.
Isn't that weird?
Chapter 8: How can listeners support Kinda Funny?
Just a random fact, just because anytime pinball comes up, I need to bring this up. Do you know Fran Mirabella?
I don't think so.
Well, it's Fran Mirabella, formerly of IGN. He's kind of funny family.
Okay, yeah.
Do people know that Fran Mirabella is like a professional pinball player? Oh, really? Like, he takes pinball incredibly seriously. And like, Barrett, when you see Fran Mirabella do this, He mounts a pinball machine like no one in the world.
I'm glad I've never seen that. And I'm surprised I haven't just because, you know, the old IGN office downtown, there are a lot of pinball machines. And I never saw him play pinball, which is insane.
Yeah.
When you really got it, sometimes you have to kind of rein it in.
Yeah. You need to not brag. Nobody likes a boastful kid.
