Today's gaming news stories include GTA 6 keeps leaking, PlayStation's rebooting, Horizon's hunter gathering, and how Redfall released a patch after everyone got laid off. We'll have all this and more because this is Kinda Funny Games Daily.
Good morning, gamers around the world. Welcome to Kinda Funny Games Daily for Wednesday, August 19th, 2026 I am Andy Cortez and I am joined by Snow Bike Michael Howard.

**Michael Howard** (0:38)
You're 1.1 in your heart.
Good morning, Andy. Good morning, Mikey. Andy, great to see you. I've been missing you. I know you've been busy. Of course, you were battling a little bit of a cold and so didn't get to spend some time with you in Unstrouted or in Shrouded last night.

**Andy Cortez** (0:53)
How did that go?

**Michael Howard** (0:54)
Really positive. Really? He's having a really good time. He's over 80 hours. Of course, when I say he, we're referring to Nick Scarpino, who has fallen head over heels for this game. Even got a text message. I don't know if you did late last night, 930 p.m. Hey, grinding some in Shrouded, you're trying to join.

**Andy Cortez** (1:10)
I didn't get the text message. He's going to hear about this.

**Michael Howard** (1:14)
Let me tell you, he's up.

**Andy Cortez** (1:16)
He's going to hear about this from me.

**Michael Howard** (1:18)
So yeah, we've been playing without you. We miss you.

**Andy Cortez** (1:20)
When Kevin walked up to me yesterday and he said, Andy, did you know Nick is like a level 20?

**Michael Howard** (1:28)
What?

**Andy Cortez** (1:29)
Dude, like I'm, you know, again, I've started a lot of characters in this game. I got a lot of hours in this game, but I'm like a level nine or level 10

**Michael Howard** (1:37)
He's a level level up in this game. It does. It does. You know, currently level 22
He's exploring parts of the map that I'd even think were there. And we're having one heck of a time.
It's really impressive to see you'd be so proud of him, how he's taken to this game. He understands this game. He has the answers to the game that you are looking for. Of course, he's getting some help from Twitch chat, but he also is playing this really all by himself. He's played a lot alone and he has a lot of answers and he's very good.

**Andy Cortez** (2:05)
He made himself hidden on Steam because I was the one who called him out one of the first times after we played. I said, hey, notice the little achievement got unlocked. You know, what's up with that? You're not going to call me and invite me. And he was like, oh, you saw that. And then he made himself invisible.
And that doesn't make me happy because I want to get in on the enshrouded love. But I was playing a lot of Mortal Shell last night after a weird day of just kind of feeling nauseous with like I wasn't eating correctly enough for the medicine that I was taking. So it was just kind of an off day. It was an off day.

**Michael Howard** (2:39)
So you played some more Mortal Shell. You had a review yesterday that we can hype up. Of course, yesterday's Gamescast Marvel Tokan Fighting Souls with Blessing and you with Mortal Shell to do both positive. Tell me what we got.

**Andy Cortez** (2:50)
Mortal Shell is it's got motion right now. Like the streets are talking, Mike, and everybody's like, Whoa, do I have to get this Mortal Shell game? I saw I don't know if Ray Narvaez streamed it, but he tweeted randomly last night, Mortal Shell fucking rocks.
And it's like, yeah, it does. Wow. I didn't know Ray. Wow.

**Michael Howard** (3:11)
Okay.

**Andy Cortez** (3:12)
Wasn't familiar with your game. You know what I mean?
So it's like, it's a really surprising Souls-like. I think it's very, very fun and ran into a lot more surprising shit last night that I thought that I was done with a certain thing and explored a bit more. And suddenly there's this gigantic dude with like a knife for a head. And it's awesome. Really, really great video game.

**Michael Howard** (3:35)
You know what else has got motion just before we get into the show? That Phantom Blade Zero PlayStation state of play. I know you reacted to it. You talk a little bit about it with Tim, but I watched it and I should have pushed him out of the way.
Talk about a game that's got a little motion.

**Andy Cortez** (3:49)
Man. I mean, a lot of motion.
