It's a Mike and Roger Friday. Okay, I was going to say, I think it's everyone's Friday, technically. Yeah, but it's going to be our Friday with them. Yes. Because we're running all the shows.
Yes, we are. Because, of course, we have Games Daily here, and then the Gamescast is going to be me and Mike as well. And then, right after that, Mike is going to join the streaming crew, which is going to be Bless, Andy, himself, and Tim... and they're all going to play Halo. A campaign evolved for a little marathon stream, so make sure to support and make sure they go as long as humanly possible. Let's keep Big Tim Dog in the building.
It's all about keeping the Big Daddy in the building.
That's all that matters, everybody. That's all that matters, everybody.
Roger, it's Friday. It is Friday. How are you feeling? It's the end of the month. How are you feeling?
I'm feeling good, feeling relieved. You know what I mean? We're here. We hit the Friday. Are you feeling accomplished for the end of July? No, I feel like everything's just starting. I feel like we got a lot of things good in the horizon. We got top 100. We got a lot of fun stuff coming up. I feel like it's like, oh, no, that was the break. We announced Skyrim. We announced Skyrim. I'm very nervous, honestly, because it's like now that's barreling towards like a week of just like it's just going to be a blur. Mike and I are just going to be in a room and just playing Skyrim together. I'm pretty pumped up about it. Doing a great time.
Roger, I also played what could be one of the hit games of 2026 last night. Let me guess.
Dino Blade, Dino Blade, Dino Blade.
Dino Blade, Dino Blade, Dino Blade. Low-key, real fun.
Shout out to Dino Blade.
There's no way. Made by two jabronis. They did their best. We got to say, hey, they did a good job. They did their best. Dino Blade's a lot of fun. Killer rock music. Nice. Fun bosses. Dinosaurs that have to ditch the flesh and embrace the blade. That's how the evolution went, that the flesh wasn't enough, so they had to embrace the blade. The flesh wasn't enough? Yeah, flesh and bones. When you're fighting each other, it's just your mouth and your claws. Oh, okay. And it just wasn't enough, so they had to embrace the blade. Who made the blade for the first time?
Did they explain who made the blade?
The Earth.
It came right from the Earth. I mean, it's sick, though. So, Dino Blade's not it? No, Dino Blade is good. I like Dino Blade a lot.
Dino Blade is a solid, fun, good time, for sure. It definitely shows its indie. Hey, we're developed by two jabronis at the max.
I fuck with it. I fuck with it heavy.
But, like, at the same time, there's voice acting. There's really fun parry and dodge mechanics. It's a great, great action RPG. I like it. Dino Blade's a good time. Okay. Now, Roger, I want to talk to you about... How many dudes, the newest, possibly the hottest, upcoming roguelike deck builder to hit the scene? Okay.
Can we see this?
How many dudes? It's a simple question, Roger, that we've asked for many years. How many dudes would it take to take down one silverback gorilla? How many dudes to go up against 972 infants? I requested a code as soon as I saw it in my email box.
How many dudes has dropped today? We can pull up some of this, Kevin. I know it's the last minute.
