What did you think? Did you like it? Was it worth it? What did you think? Kebabs already pops off and says, felt like a very long state of play from 2019. We'll get to all of that in a second. Remember, of course, we couldn't do this without our support from our Patreon producers over on patreon.com slash kindoffunny. Thank you, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, and Delaney the Psalm Twining. For now, let's begin the show with what is and forever will be the Roper Report. Time for some news! One item on the Roper report.
Baker's dozen.
I've been there, too.
Yeah, because I was thinking tots because we're all together.
When we audible on the shows, it gets kind of wacky out there. Who's going to do whatever there? Of course, number one on the Roper report is the Xbox partner preview. We, of course, will go title by title through this whole thing. Talk about what we thought of each game, what we thought of the overall deal. But at top level, hot off of it. I thought this was awful. Oh my God. Oh my God, everybody. I understand how hard it is to do a showcase. I understand having partner restrictions, but I think what's crazy is I had to go double check my work, right? Of like, wait a second, wait a second, wait a second. What is an Xbox partner preview, right? And to jump back, and of course, when you go back far enough, you find, of course, November 20th, 2025, there was an Xbox partner preview in which they promised us an exclusive fucking look
At 007. And we got to see a car. So the fact that here we are, they could have learned from that lesson and said, hey, we're going to give you Stranger Than Heaven. The official promotion for Stranger Than Heaven in the Xbox Wire post. You'll get an in-depth look at RGG's new project, Stranger Than Heaven. Fuck you. Absolutely not. We did not. We got a trailer and then a tease to come back on May 6th for a deep dive. That is awful. That is terrible. This is arguably one of the three things you promoted. You can't do that. You can't bait and switch. Like, I'm not even... That is offensive, but then surrounding it were trailers for games that don't look bad, but just don't have the stuff.
What games were highlighted in the Xbox Partner Preview?
I'm flabbergasted by this performance. There's stuff in here that I'm excited for, of course. There's stuff in there that caught me off guard that Ascend to Zero game, right?
