Today, in the nerdy news you need to know about, a Gears of War developer direct is following this year's Xbox game showcase. Asha Sharma officially kills This Is An Xbox, and Bungie says they're in it for the long haul with Marathon. But is PlayStation? Because that's what we got to worry about. 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 Monday, March 30th, 2026. I'm one of your hosts, Greg Miller, alongside GameSpot's Lucy James.
Hi.
Hey, Lucy.
What announcements were made at the Xbox Games Showcase 2026?
How are you?
I'm well. How are you?
I'm good. Do you want to show off your cool shirt?
Yeah, I do actually. Look at that. That is an Okami Den 3 wolf shirt. Apparently it was like a Comic Con exclusive or something, but a friend of mine just found it in a cupboard at Capcom and gave it to me and was like, you like Okami?
Why did Asha Sharma cancel the 'This Is An Xbox' campaign?
Yeah. Isn't that kind of an understatement? Doesn't everybody like Okami?
They should if they have to.
Do you love Okami?
It's one of my favorites of all time.
What's new?
Not much. Sad I missed you guys yesterday.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course, Lucy, as you know, Ben's godmother was going to come over and babysit. But we had a trifecta of problems at the Miller household. We're like, we're canceling date nights. Don't even worry about it. Don't worry about it.
But otherwise, no, I'm not traveling for a little bit. Yeah, you've been on the road nonstop. Yeah, although I'm going to London in a couple weeks.
Is that business or pleasure? I don't know if everybody knows she's from there.
What future plans does Bungie have for Marathon?
You can hear her.
You can't tell from the accent, but I assure you I am.
Well, you know, I did my best today.
Yeah.
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't immediately undercut Jen at the table, but I did inside wins. And I know you would have wins too. When somehow we started talking about the Beatles and Jen was like, we were talking about London already.
That's what it was.
You're talking about London. And then Jen was like, you know, the Beatles are from there. And I went, and Ben, I was like, I was Ben. I read them the, we are the Beatles book all the time. They're the lads from Liverpool. Come on, Ben, say it, Ben. And he didn't say, I was like, all right, you know what? We're letting mom slide today.
Yeah. You know what? She's got enough going on. You don't have to bring up London and the Liverpools. Oh, thank you. I was worried about that. Thank you. We're getting coasters.
Better to stop slipping.
But otherwise, no, I'm good. That's good.
You've been playing a bunch of games. Don't mention them. You're going to mention them on Gamescast after this.
I didn't say anything.
You're sticking around for Gamescast. You're just giving it out for free out there, telling everybody who'll listen what it is.
No, I'm not. I'm waiting for my envelope of cash for coming in early on a Monday morning.
