Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Friday, March 13th, 2026. I'm your host, Blessing, Addy Oye Jr. Joining me is PC Gamers, Midas Whitaker. Midas, how's it going, man? I'm good, man. Thank you so much for having me back in. The UK is back in the building. Yeah. Welcome back, of course. Last time you were here, it was you and Jordan Middler a couple years ago.
How did a games media site face consequences for using AI-generated content?
Yeah, it was a UK takeover. Yeah. Yes. So it's nice to have you back in the building. How you been? I'm good. I'm good. Over for GDC, just like everyone else.
What updates did CD Projekt Red provide about Cyberpunk 2077 DLC?
Checking out some games, talking to some people, meeting some dope people. But obviously the highlight is being here. Yes, of course. It always is, right? Like, I love it because we're so out of the way. And so for the people that really want to show up, they got to like commit to the Uber ride. You got to commit to going a bit further out from where GDC is happening in order to make it to us. But of course, we're honored that you want to come through, hang out, have a good time. Of course, talk some news. Oh, I love it.
What is the significance of Silent Hill 2 Remake selling 5 million copies?
I feel like I'm actually seeing real SF where when you're just around a convention center, it's not really real. I want to see the gritty. I want to see the streets. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We brought you to the streets for sure. How's your GDC been going?
Who are the original founders of Boss Fight Entertainment and what are their plans?
Yeah, it's been really cool.
What are the highlights from the Wee News segment?
I've been on the floor talking to people, getting people's hot takes on video games, and some of them are bizarre. Stella, who was on yesterday, her hot take had me laughing in stitches. What was it? It's all about Death Stranding and Kojima being obsessed with feet. Okay, well, yeah. There's a scene in Death Stranding where I was like, yeah, I see what's going on here. And you know what? I'm not going to think too hard about it. I'm not going to think too hard about it. But what was like, did she give any specifics? Was it the same thing I'm thinking about? So I'll be honest. There is one scene. At first, she couldn't really think of anything. So I would say my hot take is, and please don't burn me down the whole internet for this.
What are the implications of the Sony lawsuit for digital game sales?
But I was saying, I don't really like Death Stranding. I was like, I don't want to play as a FedEx driver. I'm like, that's just not fun to me. And then it made me think, is Kojima as genius as I've always felt he was? Or does he just make games that just don't make sense to me? And then she was like, oh, actually hers is that he's obsessed with feet and he's got a foot fetish. So yeah, we went down this foot fetish rabbit hole. Interesting. Interesting. Now for people who don't know you, right? Of course, I've originally known you as Mr. Midas, but you recently, I don't know if it's too recently, but you joined PC Gamer. Like how's that journey been? Yeah, it's been dope. So yeah, my background, I've been a video game presenter for the past 10 years and done stuff with like BAFTAs.
done grm daily loads of cool stuff and um yeah joint pc gamer Almost two years ago now. So it has been almost two years. Yes, it's almost two years in August. And I've done some mad stuff. Like I've hosted out in Japan. Wow. I'm obviously in GDC interviewing people on the streets, making some really cool videos. And yeah, man, it's just such a great team. I feel like PC gamers really doubled down on video in the last couple of years. Because I see you on the social a lot. Yeah, yeah. So I'm doing long form ones. I'm working on a gaming documentary about video game music. Yeah. So yeah, doing some dope stuff. I'm really excited. I really want to see the documentary.
