I'm one of your hosts, Greg Miller, alongside Forbes 30 under 30, aka New York Game Awards nominated, aka Smoothie Poppy. It's blessing at EOEH Junior. Good day, Greg. Is this a protein shake or a smoothie? Protein smoothie? Okay, cool. What's the difference between shaking a smoothie? Dude, I don't fucking know. Do I look like I've had any? What do you have in there? Silk milk, protein powder, creatine, strawberries, bananas, blueberries. Okay. What's that? What do we call that? I mean, it's a protein shake. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, that's what that is. I'll give that to you. Of course, next to him, the master of hype, the master of the in and out protein shake. It's no like Mike. Back in my day, I used to smash pre-workout all the time. My heart was really getting up there. And you would never work out. Me and creatine, I had a moment with creatine. It was like creatine's fine. There was probably about a six month stretch. I was smashing that daily. Daily. Daily. Yeah, you should be. Yesterday. You should be. The Ram here, Bella walked in like two weeks ago. He was like, using that creatine. I'm like, yeah, I was like, why are you talking to me like that? Ram, I'm Ram. Yeah, I'm at IG and I drank, you know, Adwalla, like the, not the weird bottle people, but the juice that's in your grossers free fridge. Roger's looking at me like he's never heard of this juice. Adwalla is very good juice. They made, they made a protein shakes or whatever they were, not shakes, but like they had the juice and then they had the smooth protein, whatever. And I was like, Oh, I can replace breakfast with these. And I did it. But then like after a few weeks, I was like, I haven't had a solid shit. I was working out. I was working out. You know what I mean? I was supplementing a meal for the liquid. And I was like, I'll sugar. What do we all got buff? Dude, we've got buff. That'd be nice. You know what I mean? I would enjoy that. I hate it when I put out the BS. That's a blue sky. Tim and then notice if we had a shower in the studio, we would make an hour gym time for the team. Cause then that'd be nice. That's what's holding this back. It's all zoning. It's all zoning off outside. Or we just all go to your house. We just use your shower. Everybody showers in my place. Yeah. That's your dream. What if we all shower at play of the fitness? I mean, yeah, we work out here, but then we just shower. Yeah, that's good. That works. Yeah. It'd be awesome if we had the exercise bike or someone over there. That'd be awesome. Yeah. That'd be awesome. I remember Nick yelled at me because I was like, I want to pull a bar outside. You said, what if I put it in your backyard? I was like, it's not the same thing. I'm here like fucking Nick. I mean, that's the taste maker, Roger. But Gornie, how are you? I've never met somebody who all he, all he does is talk about supplements. He hates creatine. I'm like, what are you talking about? Nick? It's like the one healthy one that you do that's out there. What are you talking about? I mean, I'm just shocking the secret. The amount of research I had to do because I was like, I don't trust, I've only heard of what creatine was. There's so much research for creatine. I keep looking it up. I'm like, what's the caveat? There's no caveat. What's going to kill me? What's the catch? What's going to get me there? Yeah. And everybody's like, it's totally healthy. And I'm like, all right, I'll try it and we'll see. Of course, this is a very special episode of kind of funny games daily because we're doing a live react to the Xbox partner preview. We're going to bring you, if you've never joined us for one of these, we are going to bullshit with you right now for another seven minutes at 10 o'clock. We'll watch live alongside the debut of the Xbox partner preview for March 2026. Then of course we'll end that reaction, even though nothing will change for you because you're watching live and we'll then roll in to kind of funny games daily. We'll go through, recap every announcement, talk about our opinions, give you a review score and then get to a little bit of we news. So it's still got that kind of funny games daily paint job. You love so much. Of course, let's talk about what we're getting into right now. Right? Xbox announced that this week we'd be doing this here, Xbox partner preview. You're getting stranger than heaven and update on stalker to heart of Chernobyl plus a new look at the expense. Osiris reborn, but quote, that's not all we'll have for you with first looks and announcements from more great games coming to Xbox consoles, Xbox on PC and Xbox game pass. Roger. Hi. The world turns its lonely eyes to you as the RGGG, GGG, GGG, GGG super fan. Yeah. Stranger than heaven. What's our hype level right now? I'm pretty high. I'm excited. I want it in depth. Look at what this game is. That is my major thing here because Mike, before this was asking, Hey man, you excited for this one? This is going to be great. It's like, I'm sure it's going to be good, but like I need to understand what this game is fully. Is it actually just, you know, a Yakuza that looks better, that is in a different time or is this going to be something that's going to be an actual like, Hey, from the ground up, we're doing something different studio RGG. The right hold it all though says I have zero expectations, but I'm here for the content. I appreciate that. Thanks for hanging out. Mike, what are your expectations coming in? You know what? My expectations are pretty in line with what I expect to see today after coming off of a couple of other partner showcases we had. Okay. Okay. Past couple of months, but I will say when you line up the three games here, we got three pretty star studded events here. I mean, we're talking about an RGG game with stranger than heaven. That's awesome. We're talking about stalker to low key, a pretty good game. Okay. He had a long time ago. Low key, a pretty good game from 2024. 24. 24 believe it. An update to this game. DLC. Remember people were all, it came out at a weird time. I remember people played it and they were like, Oh, it's too hard, but it's early X or what was it? Help me with it. Was this during the, it was during like the height of the Ukraine war. Was this the team from Ukraine? Yeah, this is the team from Ukraine. They battled to get this to the finish line, right? And so a lot of, a lot went into this and then they got there and then yes, I think it came out a little bit buggy if what I remember there. And then you have to expect there's been some updates. This might be a big DLC or patch update that will get people excited to jump back in. And then on top of that, I mean, we're talking about my favorite, the expanse, right? The idea that we're going to get a mass effect style expanse video game. Woo. This is a pretty strong lineup of three big games to watch. The expanse is the one I'm stoked for. And it's one the chat has been stoked for before we were even live. People were freaking out nonstop saying that's what they're here for. We have a super chat just like you can on YouTube.com slash kind of funny games with your thoughts on the games, your opinions about where we're about to see your review for the post show. How's it going? I'm Kohan says I'm fucking pumped for the experience. Let me put fucking pump. As you should. If we get an Amos in the expanse now, Greg, you haven't watched the show yet. I saw I read one chapter of the book. My man, West Chatham killed it as Amos. Okay. Amos, one of my favorite characters. Bless you. You're going to love Amos. James Holden. Whoo. This is a crew. I don't know where they're going to go with this, Greg. I don't know who's going to be the main character. I don't know anything about the plot of this. Okay. I'm very excited to learn like this is my day to learn everything that I want from this game. I'm so pumped up. I'm pumped for that too, to learn everything about it. And I'm pumped to know what blessings pumped about. But before that, I do want to squeeze in an ad. Remember, of course, you can of course support us.

I loved the first chapter of experience. I want to see what's all about. But I'm more excited for these other announcements. When you're going to say, we got other stuff coming. When you're going to come out and go, that's not all we have for you. With first looks and announcements from more great games coming to Xbox consoles, Xbox PC and Game Pass. All right. What do we got? Who is the day in, day drop? Who's dropping it right now? Who's announcing a drop into the cool? Oh, do we have a shadow drop? I think you do. I hope not, man. I think you do. There are too many games. Don't shadow drop right now. April is very crowded. So it's like, yeah. If you shadow drop right now, it might not be good for you. Okay. We got 39 seconds here. Telling a threat. I will not play your game. No, you got plenty of space. Shadow drop something. Don't shadow drop anything. Come on, Sammy. Come on, Sammy. Come on, Sammy. Zelda, drop a game. Shadow drop. Hear me out. Shadow drop, Super Meat Boy 3D. Oh. Right here, right now. Right here, right now. I mean, it said you've caused it. March 31st with the Nintendo Direct. Does it have a daily limited Steam page on that? Is it even coming to Xbox? I have a story. No, it was announced on the Xbox. It was announced at the Xbox. There was a rumor. There was a leak, right? Of like some... March 31st of the Nintendo Store was saying. Oh. March 31st. Okay. So. I'm just saying, you know. I mean, I was... That's an end of fiscal quarter or whatever. Persona 4, no way. There's no way. There's no way. I mean... Ain't no fucking way. I mean... Starfield. I mean, don't... That's very up and low. That's very up and low. That's his partner now. We just wanted to remind you, in April 7th, we're doing a lot of shit here. Okay. R.P. to M. Big range. Be anything. There's such a bore. No adult owner. T.M.M. Who's that? I don't know. T.M.M. I'm saying. We look at each other. A.Con. White Wolf World of Darkness. Oh. So when you... Oh, unannounced Hunter the Reckoning Game. What? What the fuck's Hunter the Reckoning? Hunter the Reckoning is an old school PS2 game that I used to play. Hmm. Is that what this is, or...? The voice is no way. Maybe he's parasitizing. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Shaw took control. There's nothing here. Oh. Damn! A corrupt cop. I thought cops were good guys. Vampire. Oh, no. Are we finally gonna get the vampire game that gets us all in? We have learned. We've prepared. And we won't let it happen again. I think it is Hunter the Reckoning. Oh, for sure, yeah. He said pray. Fucking New York cops. I've never heard anything bad about New York cops. Well, remember, this is a post-bomb Donnie worm. What's the socialism got in there? He made the buses free and he let the vampires in! No. The buses were keeping them out. Chad, this is not the way. There's no way. Yeah, fuck yeah. That's a long title. Yeah, I'll just be making any game. That's cool. I love that. Gameplay, here we go. Summer 20th? He said that was a... Summer 20th. Yeah, GameCube, OGX, Fox and PS2. Wow. Summer 20th, premiere. And the dangerous art of hunting. It's so far from now, okay? Vampires and werewolves, though. You got that going. Is this one you ever expected to come back? Is that multiplayer? No, but I think about it now, man. Miles Dompierre loves it. This is a... Phonic. Solo level? Is it? No. No. He doesn't become a whale. That's too far. Oh, never happens. The Genshin Light. Oh, what? No, that's not that one. That was the one. That was the one. What do you think? Sword Art Online? No, I was thinking that one game, that was like a Metroidvania... kind of Game Persona vibes from one of the recent things. I have no idea what this is. People are saying Wuthering. Oh, is this what Wuthering Waves is? What? The name we've all heard so many times, we've no idea what it could be. Get out of the fucking line up. Someday. I mean, it's dope looking. Is it? I'd push back. You don't think it's a school look at that? I mean, it's dope like... Look, it's like the character model looks great, sure, but like there's just so... It's everything, the most bland background in environments I've ever seen. He doesn't know anime. He doesn't know what. He doesn't know anime. I still think Genshin is like one of the best-looking games I've ever seen. I wasn't saying this. I'm not an insult to Genshin. I'm insulting all these bland ass backgrounds. Coming July? Is that better for you, Mike? You have your... I don't care. Was that not on Xbox? Here we go. What I care about. Apparently not. It was like another life. Everything made sense to you. Is this Expans? Yeah. I thought you were just saying generic shooter. This is what I care about. Wait, so you do little that? Now, every voice a tight beam. ...gord of general easily turned us into a massacre if they want. We need him alive! Locked on to you. Like a torpedo. Do not do that, yeah. The universe never tells us if we did right or wrong. Dude, you guys are gonna love the Expans. I promise you. We say that word again. The Rossinate is the space kid. It's super sick. The Rossinate. This is dope. Mr. Choices? I have become a mercenary to run away from my enemies. Fear festering into hatred. Typical. Surely a little gun doesn't scare you. A chosen boss. Protegent that it's all made of easy. An enemy of my enemy. Is my friend? Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Damn. This was the best gunplay in the world? Absolutely not, but do I want a Mass Effect RPG? Sure, yeah I do. Let's go. This is dope. I love Tappen X. Okay. We're flying the ship. Oh yeah. Whoa. He's about to be the pole. Oh my god. Does this have a date, Mike? Spring's morning 27. That's not a real year. Damn, that's far. Close beta. Uh oh. We gotta get on that right away. For a single player game? Eight point seconds. The Expans, Osiris Reborn, is getting a beta. Find out how to get in and what's in store. What? Over on Xbox One. That's Aeropol. Is it? That's Jesse. No. Yeah it is. Oh yeah, okay. Okay, drop it today. Blumhouse, let's go. Oh, it's just the horror one that we knew about you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Roger, you'd like this. I don't know. I don't know. Ashen Ridge is a good humble town. You gotta open your heart. Good people. I only think you put this on. Oh, this is crazy. I want to play it. My friend works on this. I have fun memories. Don't trust his opinion ever. I hope you can make a few. You think it's garbage? Game of the year everybody. Yeah, I played this at an SGF last year. I'm interested. Bring your portrait. Wow. August 14th? It's a really good trailer. That narrator was killing it. Okay. Serious Sam. I know so little about Serious Sam. Yeah. It's like a multiverse of Serious Sam. Yeah, is it like a Duke Nukem? What if the vibe of the series is... Like Serious Sam is a game that I only know from browsing the store. And there's a lot of PlayStation stores. Like, is the fifth one now? We're like, I scroll past and I'm like, somebody's playing that. Just the sound mix of how upfront the VO is is so grading. Rough like, no. I know. You can show me anything right now. We are not the same style. I don't... Arjan and the Chat are sort of Duke Nukem's situation. It looks like it's like a roguelite situation. They have the three-way... Yeah, they have the... The cart situation. The three upgrades. Oh no, he's dead. Shatterers. It reminds me of... Arcade of Get It. It's a weird presence. It's weird, man. And then we had Aaron Paul for five seconds and then he's gone. Somebody called out dispatch today on Xbox. I was like, oh, I could see that. Is that not already there? You know... Oh, here we go, everybody. Shout the fuck up. Greg, shout the fuck up. You got the e-bow soundtrack. Nice. Whoa. That's cool. That's cool. Train riding in five areas. Okay. I thought that was supposed to be right now. Nah, that's a teaser to it. Will that be the second half? The Xbox showcase, so they just say we're gonna show more there. No, no, they're saying they're showing more on basics. But why can't we just show them more now? Oh, I was just taking this like, that's the second half presentation. I want to spot those two spotlights. Well, that's not gonna be till like June. Oh, this is in May. Yeah. I'm just like, why tease it for here and then use this? It's 100%. Yeah. Okay. Okay. It's cool. I mean, it's a good trailer. He was jumping on that trolley. It's a cool trailer. Yeah. I was saying that was Snoop Dogg. Is that true? What is that? There you go, Super Meat Boy. Hey. Put it on my fantasy critics. You know, this will be my first Super Meat Boy. No. Very exciting. I'm gonna play the other ones. Just give it out now right now. I need that. We'll say Thursday. Yeah. That could be an out now situation. Or March 31st. The store, the Nintendo store page was right. Tuesday. Right guys. I was gonna say. I was afraid of. I'm a baby. I'm a baby. Fuck. That guy's wife's dead. Aw man. One jump at a time. Oh, it's got the jumping from Kerms' Desert. Yeah. Fucking kiss her. Aw. Life is about stories. It is? It is. About where we've been. Right. About where we're going. Still as beautiful as I remember. About the people we meet along the way. Oh, hello sir. Welcome to Carl's Pumpin' Mart. It's fucking Annapurna, so you know they're gonna say 2027 or 2029. Hey, what are you doing to my van? What does it look like? I'm fixing it. The things we discover. Hey, what are you doing out there? And the things we leave behind. What? Dead. How will your story end, Alfie? Ball. I'll be right there. Whatever happened to that full bright game? Did that ever come out? Which one? The latest one. The Venus. The people in the car. The mom and daughter. Yeah. Yeah, oh yeah, I came off forever. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, shit. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what is this? Andy, wake up! Stop time. Stop your engines. Shit. Boxel stuff too. Beat the club. Beat your destiny. Beat your beat. That was a good one. See, I stopped myself from saying it. Up your ass. Up your ass. That was too much. Save your friends. Save your future. Save your cheerleaders. Save your world. There it is. A set to zero. A set to zero. A little much for my eyes. Okay. I don't know if I like the title, but... Oh, here it is. That's why Aaron Paul was here. Oh my god. Oh, shit. This has to be out today, right? Every day there are new games that didn't come to Xbox. Still a lot of the way shit. This wasn't there already? That's not a lot in your life. Summer. Check out how Dispats changed the game over at Xbox Wire. Spoiler, they just made all the characters hot. Special dedicated broadcasts. Like this screen right here, I like it, but we need something. Yeah, you guys, you need somebody like reading it out or something. Yeah, he's something. This is what we did before. Now, let's look to the future. What the hell happened here? Stalker? Where is everyone? I can't. What the fuck, there's a lot of wind. Is this the water? Take shelter. They've been this. Alien deaths. Kinda cool. Damn. What is with 2027? Mike. Hey, Greg, I don't even know. This is a wild one. I guess they're saving everything. Mike is shot. Mike is shot. In an interview with developer rebellion over on Xbox Wire. That did nothing for me. I'm sorry. No. Is that also the air ball? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Party mode, that deal. Friend like. We have the Xbox. Oh, Mike, tell me about frogs. What? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Mike, tell me about frogs. What? I have no idea what frog. What is, but it's got the vibes. It's got, it's got the friend slot vibes to it. Hungry hippo. June. Okay. I like the art. Bluey. Hold on. Now we're cooking. Bluey's happy snips. Explore. Bluey's wrote like never before. Bluey's. Very pretty. Such a slap. This song. This song. This song. This song. This song. This song. This song. This song. We were locked in. So this is just Pokemon Snap, but Bluey. I guess. I'm not against that. Aw. At the fox. We're coming to entities like. Like you know he was in the Duffy. Yeah, he was. Right in the 1600 or whatever. It's a story that's full of mysteries, like the Zone itself. I could never understand why those guys can't just live in peace. The Zone has enough to offer without spilling blood over it. And I heard what happened that sunny day. A chill ran down my spine. I was there. It was night. And it was raining. Do you call this peace, Faronin? Is this what peace looks like to you? Bye, guys. They let your men in, shared their food, and what did they get in return? According to Section 6, paragraph B of the D4 agreement, in case of suspicion regarding one of the parties attacking the other, the effective party has the right to secure and surveil a member of the suspected aggressor. No one is being taken. That is my decision to make. There can be no compromises in this war. We are the ones standing between the Zone's plague of felt and ordinary people. Whichever way we go, we always end up in the same exact spot. That's justice. I suppose. That's the end of D4. Host of Hope. Are you ready, Sceve? To discover the price of freedom. Whoa. Uncover the first details that make up Stalker 2's upcoming major expansion on Xbox Wire. You should listen to this song when you're running. Yeah, I can see that. Oh, let me want a nice single source. Although not quite enough enemies on screen. Yeah. It's got the hack and slash action. Which I'm down for. I like that. Who's on 27? Dirty fate. I liked so much in that trailer. Some of it didn't hit as much as I wanted to in the combat. Everything around it seems cool. Yeah, I think the trailer was really cool in the beginning. But something about not having sound effects and everything. Yeah, you needed sound effects. Oh, yeah. What is this? This is... The eternal life of the Goldman Sachs. I was going to say eternal life of the Elizabeth Ward. That's not it. And it was really good. Played the demo during Steam Next Fest. Really gorgeous art style. Really, really gorgeous art style. It's like a full Metro-ing key. Or he plays Oldman, yeah. Oldman Goldman. Oh my God, what the fuck? He just pulled that guy's tail out. Gorgeous fuck, man. Everything I see about this game, I'm like, this is something cool. This is special. Oh, the demo's still up. That was nasty. Of course. I don't mind blindly hope that certain creatures might rather choose to withdraw if only out of immense respect for the age-old wisdom of the venerable reanimated museum exhibit. But most won't be surrendering without a fight. Demo's up on Steam for people who want to check it out. Wow. Yeah, it's like that. No way. Holy shit, y'all. I prefer the sad old man with his dog game. Of course, the sad old man in fucking Metroidvania, Hollow Knight, so soft. This is the average life of an old man. That's what they get into. Acidic. That's cool. No release tape. Oh, demo available on Xbox. It is demo on Xbox. Really fucking cool. Yes. That's all we found in that Baron rock. I know stranger to death. Oh, is it like an XCOM? Oh, interesting. Third person XCOM type. Or maybe they're just standing still. Maybe it's Valkyria Chronicles type. Who can forget? It'll be like five. Don't act like I'm the weirdo. You got cards. You go from top down, you choose cards, then you come back down. A lot of weird trailers during this. A lot of rough trailers going on. Yeah, I feel like the trailers are rough. Yeah, I feel like that's happening. They have an art style. That's what's happening. Yeah, right. You know what I mean? I thought it was all about AI. You know, man, I do know you. That's the problem. See, it's given me the vibes of like they reached out to them for the Borderlands license. And they said no, and they're like, fuck it. We'll just make our own.

This is a good game right here. You playing on Xbox? No. Not because I hate Xbox. Not everybody. It's because my save is on PC. I'm not playing on PlayStation either. I gotta get back into it.
