Chapter 1: What happened to Tony Todd, the voice of Venom?
We don't have time now.
Of course, we're an 11-person business all about live talk shows. Today, after KFGD, you'll get Gamescast, which is actually a surprise screencast reaction show to Mission Impossible, Cap 4, and Thunderbolt trailers. The stream after that is going to be Mike playing the Halo 2 E3 demo.
If you're a kind of funny member, you can get today's Gregway, and you can get Penguin in review this afternoon and tomorrow on YouTube and on podcast services. Thank you to our Patreon producers, Delaney Twining and Carl Jacobs. Today we're brought to you by Sonic at Topgolf, Marvel Snap, 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 five stories today. I'm listening. I just need to make a note for myself.
Do you think, do you think? A baker's dozen. 22 minutes in. 22 minutes in. Here's the thing, right? People in chat are like, get to the news, get to the, it's a slow news day. There's not much news.
We're doing you a favor. Because I think. Because there ain't no fucking news.
This might be the longest it's been into a show that we've gotten to the rope report.
No, no way. It might be.

Chapter 2: What are the details of Kojima's meeting with Carolyn Polachek?
But it was sick. Kojima would say that. He would say that. He would say that in an American accent.
It's a really good Kojima expression. Do you speak through a translator? How is his English?
Yeah, it was through a translator. Yeah, I mean, there were some things that I could tell when we were saying he understood a little bit.
Yeah, he obviously speaks English, but I think it's one of those ones where I think a translator makes it easier for everybody.
Did you hear what Mike gave to him?
No, I kind of want to hear what you all gave to him. What were these tributes? I mean, did you sweat over this? Oh, yeah.
Well, I think a lot of us did. Actually, I'll say all of us did. Yeah, definitely did. I gave him a Challengers Blu-ray because I knew he loved Challengers, and so I just decided to give him a Blu-ray. Okay, that's fair. That's kind of a cheat, though, right? Yeah, but I wanted to be safe, and also, like, I do also love Challengers, and so it was kind of this thing of...
oh there it is oh my god he's brought it out so uh well that one was really really quick but the challengers one was really great and he uh uh talking about how cool kojima is he's so sick where he he got the uh the challengers and he was very excited because they didn't sell it in japan he was trying to get you trying to get blu-ray couldn't get it and then he says oh my friend did the music for that movie and i'm like bro your friend your friend trent resner like you can't like that's insane that you're just calling them in front that's awesome
This is Mike. This is what Mike gave to Kojima. It was Snowbike Mike Goes Big. It is an actual DVD of him doing snowbiking back in the day. And this is one of those early YouTube videos where he's just doing extreme sports and he's smoking weed and Wiz Khalifa's in the background. It's just the stupidest video in the world. And he burned a DVD and gave it to Kojima.

Chapter 3: What gifts did the Kinda Funny team give to Kojima?
Chapter 4: How does the passing of actors impact the gaming industry?
Oh yeah.
Right. He's someone, he's someone else.
The fact that he's got a vibe to bring that to Venom to inspire me in like such a cool thing. Like this brings me back to, I think, The fact that video games have gotten so big that now, like, there's this crossover between actors that you know from Hollywood, things like Final Destination, right?
And now, like, you know, a story like this has, you know, been able to infiltrate into the games industry because this is somebody we love for the role of Venom, right? Venom was, like, such a major part of the last Spider-Man game and was a character that all of us were looking forward to, right? To, like, seeing being portrayed in that game.
Brings back to, like, Lance Reddick, who's another Hollywood actor that passed away.
a lot of great black actors this year. Lance Reddick, Andre Brower, James Earl Jones. Yeah. Tony Todd.
Like that's like in, yeah. Like it's been such a, like, you know, such a string of losses, but then also, you know, seeing that crossover with video games of Lance Reddick, of course, you know, I'm from all the movies, but then you see him.
And he really leaned into that role.
oh yeah like leaned into the role to the point where it's like oh dude when they adapt the horizon tv show like i want to see him maybe portray that character again right um and so it's always sad to like you know read stories like this especially for people who are uh playing roles that i think they bring that same level of oh okay you were an actor you do tv you do movies but you obviously are bringing that same respect to the role into video games you're not treating the game as lesser did a hilarious uh xbox ad as well that you should check out at some point it's very very funny um

Welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Monday, November 11th, 2024. I'm your host, Blessing, Addy Lea Jr. Joining me is the force that is, Gary Whitta. Hello, happy to be here again. Good morning, Gary.
This is like back-to-back almost. We did it just recently.
Yeah, like what, like two weeks ago? Yeah. It still feels too long. Like, I love having you on this show. I would do this every day with you if it was up to me. Now, I wanted to ask, because it's a rainy day in San Francisco. It is, and I'm grateful for it. I love the rain. Okay, that was going to be my question, because on the way here, I realized how much I miss the rain.
Yeah.
Because before this, I used to live in Seattle. Before Seattle, I lived in the Midwest areas that it would rain a lot, right? And, like, on the way to work today, I had a moment where I'm like, man, I love the rain so much that, like, on this car drive, I'm getting emotional just for the fact that it's, like, raining and this is my time.
It's kind of cleansing. It's nice. Like, I actually enjoy standing out in a nice thunderstorm. It's nice being inside when it's raining outside. It's cozy. And, like, as you know, we just went through, like, a really hot summer here in San Francisco. Yeah. Like, record-breaking hot. And I hate that. Around the world, too. I don't like...
heat i'm much i'm much happier when the weather's cold than when it's hot and in san francisco we're we're fortunate that you know most of the time it's pretty moderate right we never get like super duper extremes um but no i was surprised this morning because i'd not been following the weather forecast but it was like oh it's raining and i drove it was a pleasant surprise this morning i don't i don't enjoy driving in the rain because a lot of people don't know how to drive in the rain in places where it's not like when i lived in la and it would rain
Don't you don't want to be on the roads because people in LA don't know how to drive in the rain.

Chapter 7: How has the gaming landscape changed with celebrity involvement?
vibe right his job is just to explain the shit to you that oh yeah this is why you're all dying off is because you know the universe is like correcting the balance of the people that should have died on that day but he does it in a way that makes it feel like dude you seem to know a bit too much about this like who the fuck are you and he has that and Tony Todd is the kind of guy that can
Deliver that. Oh, he's a mortician. There you go. So yeah, but he is, but again, there's the vibe is like, that ain't no fucking mortician.
Oh yeah.
Right. He's someone, he's someone else.
The fact that he's got a vibe to bring that to Venom to inspire me in like such a cool thing. Like this brings me back to, I think, The fact that video games have gotten so big that now, like, there's this crossover between actors that you know from Hollywood, things like Final Destination, right?
