What are today's gaming news highlights?

Tim Geddes 0:00
Today's stories include Foam Stars is seemingly coming to an end, Snoop Dogg is performing at the Game Awards, and EA is making big moves for accessibility. We'll have all this and more because this is Kind of Funny Games Daily. Welcome everybody back to kind of funny games daily for Thursday, December 5th, 2024. Of course I am Tim Geddes.

What are the latest updates on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle?

Tim Geddes 0:30
This is Andy Cortez and running the ones and twos is Kevin Coelho. The big dog is back everybody. How you doing Kev?
Kevin 0:41
Good. It's just me and Barrett do things differently. Like I have a button where everything's automatic and he's got a button where it just plays the intro and I hit his button instead of my button.
Tim Geddes 0:52
Here we are. You know, here we are. Warring factions. Warring factions. You know what I mean? Both hearts in the right place. You know what I mean? But they need to share a mind. We need a fusion situation going on here between Kevin and Barrett. I don't know how we'll get there, but we got to figure it out. We got to work on that. We'll work on it. How are you doing, Andy? I'm doing great, Tim. How are you? Good morning. I'm doing good. Doing real good. Yeah. Thursday feels like a good Thursday. You know what I mean? Looking forward to not many days left in the week, but it feels like we've accomplished a lot this week.
Andy Cortez 1:21
I don't like that it's December already. I've been on the record on that many times. I think we need to do something about it. Okay. I think we should write to people, to officials, because it was too fast. As I was streaming last night, I was just already thinking about what does the top 10 start to look like? How do I massage the list?

What are the pros and cons of the 13-month calendar?

Tim Geddes 1:42
I've been trying to not think about it. Like, honestly, anytime that thought gets into my mind, I'm like, you know what? I still got a couple weeks. Who knows how many games I'm going to beat in the next two weeks? No, you're right.
Andy Cortez 1:52
No, you're right.
Tim Geddes 1:53
You're right.
Andy Cortez 1:54
Because here's the thing. There's a lot of, like, the backlog right now. Shit, I got to add Prince of Persia to that backlog. Yes, you do. Prince of Persia. I need your axe, Andy.
Kevin 2:07
Andy, before you go too deep into what you're saying, I want to just for a moment bring up the 13-month calendar again because I think this is my opportunity. God, it's such a low-res image.
Andy Cortez 2:19
Jesus Christ.
Kevin 2:20
I don't know why it's so low-res.
Andy Cortez 2:22
This has got to be 180p, Max.
Kevin 2:25
When I clicked, how nice that looks.

Which games are in the backlog and how do they rank?

Andy Cortez 2:27
I clicked this image. You could right-click it and then do open in new text.
Kevin 2:33
It was great audio content. I had no idea you could do that. You could right-click it?
Andy Cortez 2:37
Yeah, right-click that image on the right.
Kevin 2:39
Really?
Andy Cortez 2:40
Do like an open image and new tab. Look at that. That's exactly what I did. Look at that.
Kevin 2:45
Whatever. It doesn't seem like it. You want one more month, Andy. We can do it if we just commit to the 13 month. It would still be the same amount of days, so we would be in the 13 month.
Tim Geddes 2:57
But it would feel better.
Kevin 2:58
But it would feel better.
Andy Cortez 2:59
You know? I totally agree with you. I'd be down for this change. Yeah. I just, because here's the thing. It wasn't even necessarily about massaging the list, okay? But let me get back to the list one more time. The backlog. Yeah. Prince of Persia Lost Crown. And I'm at the point where I'm getting them consolation pieces. Man, they're real far away from where I'm at. Like, that's crazy.
Tim Geddes 3:21
Do you have the update, though? Because they changed how fast travel works, and it's much better now. If you download the update, you can fast travel from any state. Would it not just auto update?
Andy Cortez 3:31
I don't know.
Tim Geddes 3:32
I imagine it would.
Andy Cortez 3:33
Because that's a little pain in my craw right there, Tim. Because I can't, whenever I go to one of these whack-whack trees, I can only teleport to the fast travel stations, not the whack-whack trees. Are you saying the whack-whack trees allow fast travel? If I remember correctly, they changed it so that, yeah, whack-whack to whack-whack is possible. Because that's what I've been needing. Like, that's the one thing I've been looking... So why would it... I mean, you've got to assume if there was an update, it would have updated for me.
