Well, that's not right.
Today in the nerdy news you need to know about, we've played Assassin's Creed Shadows, the Celestev's next game has been canceled, and Dragon Age, the Veil Guard, didn't meet sales expectations. We'll have all this and more because this is kind of funny games daily.
what's up everybody welcome to kind of funny games daily for thursday january 23rd 2025 i'm one of your hosts greg miller alongside forbes 30 under 30 aka the okay beast aka magic the gathering poppy blessing eddie oye jr My favorite thing is that I'm pretty sure Kevin was trying to catch you off guard with the cold open. Yeah. Because he hit the 3-2 out of like, oh, man, I'm trying to help you with your hair. I was like, does my hair look fine? You're like, yeah, you got one thing. He's like, 3-2. I'm like, let's do it. Let's fucking go. And so I think he was trying to prove a point to us. But then he got himself. Forgot to press the second button. You got yourself there, Kevin.
No, no, no. It's like all automated. And for some reason, the system connects to the thing that controls the camera. Didn't want to work. So I had to manually go and hit the button.
It's working now. How are we doing? Blessing. I'm doing well. I'm excited for the Xbox developer underscore direct. I don't have any, I guess, predictions because I know we already know the bulk of stuff they're going to talk about. But there is that question mark on there that people are saying could be some kind of like JRPG franchise. Okay. Like a legendary JRPG franchise. Yeah, they said something there, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like, what could that be? Who knows? But I'm excited to see what. Okay. Are you excited? How are you feeling? Yeah, of course. It's Xbox Direct. I was thinking about this in the car ride-in. For so long, when I started, you had to wait for, of course, E3. That was when you got the Christmas presents. That's when there was the big thing. That's when everybody revealed their new shit, blah, blah. So it was this huge buildup to E3.
And now we're so lucky, even though we want to poo-poo it all the time, be angry about it, that there are so many mini Christmases. You know what I mean? Where it is like, cool, for some reason today, Xbox wants to talk about three or four games and then also this secret game we don't have. Fuck yeah, let's go. That'll be fun. This will be cool. I'm super excited about that. So it's good to get in here, have that vibe, have that energy to it. There's always a different energy. Of course, we're doing the show an hour early so we can react right at 10 o'clock to the Xbox Direct. So yeah, there's a whole bunch of fun stuff happening in that regard as we're out here doing it. So yeah, I'm stoked about it. I'm excited about it. Like, I'm not...
excited about it like, hey, we're going to have this amazing thing that you've never seen before. No, it's not going to be that, obviously. It's going to be like, all right, cool. We're going to hear about some cool games and it's going to be fun. So it's like, all right, I'm not worried about that. I think because of hype culture, right? Because of like... us being about the headlines being about the game announcements i think oftentimes we underrate just developers talking about their video games and how enjoyable it can be to like hear people talk about the ins and outs of what makes their game work or what may or like what they're excited to reveal what like features that they have in their games that like they think is going to push it to the next level yeah
I really like the Annapurna showcases for that, for the ones that we've gotten. For sure. But like, even though they're still around, but they're different. Everybody got fired. It's, nevermind. They got a new team in there. Yeah. The old team left. Now they're over at Private Division. Yeah. But, or they've taken over Private Division's things. Yeah. Who then laid off a bunch of people. It's weird. Cause like, but i really like those showcases for hey we're gonna fly over to portland it's always portland always we're gonna fly over and we're gonna talk to these developers and like have them talk we might not even have a game we're just gonna watch like hear them talk about what their passions are oh man i like pianos i'm sure that's gonna like feed into this game that i'm making and i'm like you know what cool
