Kinda Funny's Top 100 Games of All Time Day 2 (#80-61)

SPEAKER_1 (0:01)

If you're ready for Kinda Funny Live, make some noise! 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

SPEAKER_2 (0:25)

What does Top 100 mean to me? I think it's another way for the audience to get mad at us.

SPEAKER_3 (0:34)

It's something that we're going to debate, we're going to laugh, we're going to probably hate, but that's the point. It's so exciting to see all of the different viewpoints of everyone at Kinda Funny come together into one list. Game of the Year, Gamescasts, building out this entire studio. It is the culmination of so much of the stuff we've been doing here.

SPEAKER_4 (0:56)

Something that I found very interesting in myself when I reflect back on my life is I was always interested in video games, not just playing them, but talking about them. I owe so much to the magazine. I grew up with and learned so much about video games from Electronic Indian Monthly's Top 100 Games of All Time. That is where I learned about the majority of classic video games. I would walk around with that magazine as if it was my Bible, reading that top 100 list over and over and over.

SPEAKER_5 (1:25)

For 11 years, it's the people that make Kinda Funny. These are the games that have made the 11 of us.

SPEAKER_6 (1:34)

Top 100 are games that are both monumental to the industry, but then monumental for us.

SPEAKER_7 (1:39)

These are the games that you ride for. These are the games that you want to tell all of your friends about.

SPEAKER_8 (1:43)

Games that challenged us to learn more about ourselves and the medium as a whole. The stories we've experienced and made together.

SPEAKER_9 (1:55)

We took these seven people's lists and combined them into one that even they haven't seen yet. It's time to reveal Kinda Funny's Top 100 Games of All Time.

This Kinda Funny list is entirely subjective, and the team of Kinda Funny take no responsibility to make you sad, mad or downright bewildered of their choices. Nor does this list invalidate any Top 100 list you might have in your head. It's just the Top 100 games that could come up using their minds, their tiny minds, their tiny, brilliant, silly, silly, dumb, dumb minds. If you're still angry, please feel free to use your own tiny mind. I know I do, and unfortunately, it's not fit for broadcast.

SPEAKER_10 (2:36)

Ladies and gentlemen, once again, welcome back to the stage, Nick Scarpito.

SPEAKER_11 (2:42)

Hey, hey.

All right. What is up, everybody?

SPEAKER_10 (2:50)

Welcome back to Kinda Funny Games, Top 100 Games of All Time. Give yourself a round of applause, guys, for coming here and being in the live studio audience with us. Thank you so much for supporting us here. If you're watching at home, thank you as well. Big views yesterday, great day yesterday. Guess what, guys, we're going to keep that energy going right now. I, of course, have been tasked to give you the rules of this little shindig, the housekeeping, if you will. If you guys were watching yesterday, it's going to be the exact same. And if for whatever reason you weren't watching yesterday, well, you messed up. OK, let's kick it off, guys. What is the top 100 games of all time? What's the definition of that bad boy? Well, is it the best? Is it our favorite, our most iconic, influential, timeless, classic? All of these are factors, but in no mathematical way. It comes down to these are the games that we would fight for. These are the games that the people who make Kinda Funny love the most. Let's talk about the franchises for a second. What qualifies, right? Up to the individual, how to handle multiple franchise entries, remakes, remasters, reimaginings, and similar versions. Barrett highlighted overlaps in similar games and had individual conversations with us to see where we felt strongly before locking the final list. Now, what qualifies? Of course, the game had to come out before December 31st, 2025 It could be on console, PC, mobile, arcade, those handheld Tiger electronics from the 90s. If we consider it to be a video game, it counts. Most importantly, if you're watching for the first time at home or in the audience, this will be full spoilers. So if you're in the audience, I guess cover your eyes. I don't know what we're going to do guys. But if you're watching at home, you've played these games before, you love these games. This is a celebration of these games, and we're going to do 20 of them today, which is going to be great. And lastly, no ties. We prioritize passion. If there was a tie, it went to the game that averaged highest on everyone's personal lists. Now, listen, we did this show yesterday, and it was pretty great. Round of applause if you guys were here in the audience yesterday with us.
