Yo, what's up, welcome to Kinda Funny Games Daily for Wednesday, September 30th, 2026 I'm one of your hosts, Blessing Adeoye Jr. Joining me is the little croy poppy, Tim Mungie Gettys.

Tim Gettys (0:42)

Are we allowed to talk about the game we were just talking about?

Blessing Adeoye Jr. (0:44)

I don't think so.

Tim Gettys (0:45)

OK.

Blessing Adeoye Jr. (0:46)

No, yeah, no.

Tim Gettys (0:46)

I'm very happy I said it that way. I'm like lost in time right now because we're working on Top 100 So I have no idea about embargoes and stuff. I'm staying out. I'm letting y'all handle that right now.

Blessing Adeoye Jr. (0:57)

I mean, everybody knows right now is review season, which means at any point we could be playing any number of games.

Tim Gettys (1:02)

Any number of games. It is absolutely wild. It's been crazy to just be in the office and not even be talking to people, just hearing conversations happening. I don't think there's ever been this many side conversations that aren't content about different games.

Blessing Adeoye Jr. (1:15)

Oh, yeah.

Tim Gettys (1:15)

You have to kind of sit there for a second and be like, what are they talking about? You know what I mean? What is it? And it's across every platform. It's very, very cool to see. And I also think it's very interesting at how much discrepancy there even is between people's opinions. I feel like the split between people liking or not liking certain games is wider than it normally is.

Blessing Adeoye Jr. (1:40)

See, I definitely agree with that. I, on the other hand, am surprised by how many games...

How do I say this without... I'll just talk about games I've reviewed so far in the last fall. How many games that I absolutely love. In a way where I'm like, I gotta find something to give a 5 out of 10 Like, hey, somebody released a bad game for me so I can do one of them reviews that gets everybody mad.

I'm having such a good time with video games, is what I'm saying right now.

Tim Gettys (2:11)

That's awesome, man. There's just so much good stuff out there. And it's like, there's so much good stuff that it really does feel like it's impossible to get to it all. And I really have been listening to a lot of the reviews. And I know of the team, who I relate to in terms of this genre or this genre and how much I understand and or at least not understand. I know, understand, but also can relate to personally my taste to theirs. And it's just like, man, there's so many games I'm hearing about that I'm like, oh, god, I really got to give that thing a shot.

Blessing Adeoye Jr. (2:43)

And the worst part is, I know how much time you don't have because of Top 100 and all the things you got going on and you're not having a bathroom.

I have been playing a lot of games, and it's a shame how many of my babies I got to kill still. There are games where I'm like, I want to play you. I want to play Ace Combat, Wings of Thieves, because I did the preview, and I loved my preview. But I look at it, and I'm like, I don't even have the time to think about playing this game, because I'm reviewing a couple other games. I'm doing Witcher Wednesdays with Greg.

I might be messing around with that AYN Thor. Oh yeah, of course. I mentioned it briefly yesterday, but for no particular reason, I booted up Star Wars Episode I Racer. I'm like, AYN Thor? When was the last time you played that game?

Tim Gettys (3:30)

Dude, I think it was a week after Summer Game Fest, because that's right where... No, it was Game Awards, after they revealed Galactic Racer. I'm like, oh well, I got the itch. I got to go back. Dude, that game, I feel like it gets well. I think it ages better.

I think that it gets better over time. Yeah. Because I remember we loved it for what it was, but now I'm playing it, I'm like, no, this is legit actually a great game.
