Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Monday, February 23rd, 2026. I'm your host, Blessing Adeoye Jr. Joining me is the tastemaker, Roger McCorney.
How are you doing, Blessing? I'm doing very good, Roger.
What did Sarah Bond say about her exit from Xbox?
How are you doing? I'm so happy that I escaped the East Coast. I want to shout out everybody on the East Coast. I'm getting live texts from my mom and she's miserable. It is horrible out there. So much snow. An insane nor'easter of snow is going over there. So I was able to slide through the security doors as they were falling down.
What are the details of the Xbox leadership shake-up?
I saw the Zoran Mamdani video of him being like, guys, don't go outside.
Please just don't go outside.
It's going to snow. And then it's going to be warm enough that it melts. But then in the night, it's going to freeze. And if you go outside, you will die. So if you're in New York, just don't go outside. They canceled school. You have no reason to leave your home. Call out of work. If your work's not letting you just work from home, be safe out there.
How did the gaming community react to the Xbox changes?
How long were you in New York?
I was there from Wednesday to Sunday. Oh, so you just got back yesterday. Yeah, so I just got back yesterday. Yeah, again, it started at noon and I left at like 7, 8 a.m. So I was like right there. If it was just an hour later, I'm sure they would have canceled my flight and moved everything over. So yeah, so I got out there. I was able to go to WWE headquarters. We'll talk about that in a second and some fun reveals and some little videos for you. Oh, videos. I'm excited for that. For me, specifically. Yeah, for you. For you, specifically. Are you excited for the rest of this week? Wait, hold on. I want to know. You talked to Liv Morgan? Like, what's going on here? I got a video for you. I got a video for you.
Okay. What's up? Are you excited for this week? Are you scared for this week? Because, of course, it is the Resident Evil Requiem launch and our marathon stream. I'm feeling a little scratch in the back of my throat. Uh-oh. So we'll see if I make it there. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's opening his mouth in public trying to get people to cough into it.
Yeah, I'm like, please cough into my mouth. Yeah, like, I don't know. My grandma might die. I don't know. It's not a terrible joke to make. It's okay. She's already gone.
She's been dead for a while.
It's okay.
I'm not killing her.
No, I'm excited for the stream. I'm excited because, like, you know, Resident Evil has been a franchise that I've grown to fall in love with over the course of the past decade. I guess seven years, which feels longer than it feels in my brain. Because essentially, it's been since Resident Evil 2 Remake. When I played Resident Evil 2 Remake, I was like, damn, it's a really good game. And then I got to do those streams on Kind of Funny, which is why we're doing this, right? Yeah, seven. You know, I got to stream seven with Andy. We also streamed some of eight, which didn't go as well. Because we kept making fun of Ethan Winters.
What did Roger experience at WWE headquarters?
Oh, yeah.
People were mad that we were making fun of Ethan Winters. Oh, fuck Ethan Winters.
I love Ethan Winters. He is boring, though.
He is annoying. But I'm excited because, like, I... I'm locked in for Resident Evil now, where I want to play whatever new Resident Evil game is coming out. And so I'm excited to play through it all in 24 hours, hang out with Andy. I'm not as much of a scary cat as Andy is. Andy's going to be where the entertainment is at. I can deal with it.
You say that, and then we're going to have some clips. We're going to be able to take this moment, and then we're going to find, I'm sure, some moment where you're going to freak out.
Resident Evil doesn't scare me as much as...
