I'm one of your host, Andy Cortez, alongside Blessing Adioje Jr. who was showing me remixes for Saw and Rugrats earlier.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Damn. It goes deeper. Oh, it goes way deeper. I guarantee 99% of our audience will understand the reference. But there is an artist called J-squad who back in the day. If you're in the comments or in the chat, just type in the number five if you know who J-squad is. Type in the number five.

It's going to be maybe one person. You had to be in the crump culture to know who J-Squod is. you had to be in the mid-2000s to late 2000s. You had to be like, you know, you gotta know who Tidey's is. You know Tidey's? No. No, I never heard of. He was the guy who invented Crump.

Okay. Yeah, it was Tide-Eyes. I can't remember all their names. There was like a group of people. But in like the L.A. area, crumping made it big. And then it spread throughout the country. And let me tell you, it got to me. And so J-Squod, they were popular, maybe not popular.

They were an artist who made a bunch of crump remixes to every single. song imaginable. What do I told you? He remixed Sephiroth's album. Oh shit. It made it crumpable. And when I tell you, crumped and like, it's like theme deck verifiable. Dude, I was, I could tell you all the crumptable song. Because I was crumping like crazy. Yeah.

Separat's theme, the Rugrats theme song, and the saw theme. Because you were humming the saw theme earlier. Yeah. And I was like, I recognized. I got the saw theme on my head on my brain. I don't know what. And I was like, I know that. And then Blessing just started showing me the craziest remixes of progress do do do do

dude if you want to have one of the best pieces of content ever we can go through and I'll rank the top 10 J-Squod Am dude

we had to do it we can't do it on like a video like a vaude thing it'll get claimed oh damn because one of the number one again if you know

you know Alex Weber company says will it crump and all the ranking I'll crump to each of the song oh damn okay I was crumping

last week oh shit Yeah. What's funny is I can't talk about it. It's an embargoed crump. Oh, shit. It's an embargoed. I can't talk about it.

I got an NDA and the crump. I got an NDA on the crump. I was crumping in a plane. I can't hear about it later. I can't wait to hear about that whenever that embargo is up. If you are watching live, be a part of the show by super chatting on YouTube.com forward slash kind of funny games. The Lion King remix too.

Remember, we couldn't do this without our producers on patreon. God.com forward slash Kind of Funny. So thank you to Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, Delaney the Somp-twining, and Lacks Nomad. They got Ghostbusters on here. They got Pirates of the Caribbean.

I don't know why they were remixing everything. But like when you listen to the J-Squod remixes... I'm really trying to get claimed. It's all very... But they're still up on YouTube. That's the incredible thing. This Pirates of the Caribbean,

J-Squod remix has been up for 17 years. I just imagine Bob Iger being like, not let it go. Oh, man. Don't claim that one. And when you listen to them, they got a Simpsons one as well. They have a family guy one, I'm pretty sure, because I used to go crazy to that. They would also be very, like, low quality, but, like, the drums were so loud.

Like, you can barely hear the music behind the drums. Well, they're like, no, we don't mix her master. No, everything is super, like, compressed and low quality sounding, but it made it even more hype. Okay. You know what I mean? Luis 9,000 asks, what do I look up to listen? Just look up J squad

That's all you need to type in J squad and the results will come in Cameron Kennedy said Greg Miller is Googling so many words right now I'm looking at a YouTube video called J-Squod, Yugao Buck song Just so you look How many views I got?

136,000 Nice, that's pretty good That's pretty good The crump community we're about about it man Back in the day I saw a great comment that I want to just shout I forgot who it was but they said I'm typing in number four

out of respect for Jaden Daniels. That's such a very small, limited amount of people that would understand that joke. But shout out to you for that one. We have a special one today. Because we have blessing on the therapy couch. Like we did with Greg last week. So let's get the topic of the show going right now. Tots, dots, dots, dots, tuts.

And why am I mask? Because I don't want my germs all over the mic. Getting over a sickness. Yeah. I don't want my... I was going to say, because you could probably take it off with me, because I'm also getting over a sick. Tim's got the baby.

Ben is also here. I don't want to bring my germs in. You're better than me. Because I woke up, I woke up yesterday and I was like, oh, thank God, my sore throat is getting better. And I woke up this morning and went,

oh, God. Yeah. Like, something happened. I don't know what, but like something happened in the last 12 hours that, like, I feel like somebody just choked me

while I was in my sleep. Damn. Yeah. It's hot. Pretty hot, yeah. That's what's up. This is, video game therapy

aka fixing blessing Adioia Jr. That's me. And we'd like to get your super chats in. I would like you all to know or I would like to know from you all what are your video game therapy questions for blessing?

And what are you all video game therapy things you'd like to admit to us about your own your own personalities whenever you are out there and you're playing games and you're like damn I really wish this about me. I really wish that about me. Shout out to the references in chat.

People saying the NyQuil rifle. Yeah, we're all up on the NyQuil. We're all up on the DayQuil and the NyQuil. I was doing Yucinex over the weekend. I was doing a lot of DayQuil and I'm on my Z-Pack, my Zithromax. The antibiotic. Oh, okay. My mom buys antibiotics from Mexico and sends him to me.

I was going to say, don't you need like a prescription? Nah. Damn. My mom's a nurse. She knows the way it goes. She's just like... Interesting. Like, we'll just go to Mexico.

buy those Z-packs for fucking $2 or whatever they are. How is she smuggling them up? Bring you around. To the side of the border. You just cross? They're cool with it. Really? Yeah, you go to Renoza.

Man, you go to Renoza. You get whatever you want, man. It's the best, dude. That's crazy. It's amazing. It's amazing. I don't got to go to a night clinic. I don't got to do all that bullshit.

When I watched Euphoria Season 3, they had to put those drugs in, like, ungodly places to get them over the border. Oh, no, you just come right over. Wow. I think those were different drugs. Yeah, different drugs. Yeah.

I think they're okay with being like, yeah, you could cross with a, you know, a prescription type medicine, but, you know, maybe not cocaine, you know. I think that's the differentiation there. Okay. Yeah. But like, like, you still need a doctor's note, though, or like, you come back across and they're like, you know, you don't need a doctor anymore. You just get it directly? No, yeah. You're good.

You're chill. I don't know. I don't know if you should admit that in the microphone. That seems like, I don't know, man. I don't know. Euphoria says difference. Zendaya was doing crazy shit. It's amazing, yeah.

And that's why whenever I get sick, guess what? I'm right back to work. Snowback, Mike, looking at you. All right? You want to be on this regimen. Pay me five bucks. We'll get that Z-pack to you immediately.

So, like, at what point are you taking the Z-pack? Is it like as soon as you even feel a hint of sickness? As soon as I know what, I know my body so well when it comes to sicknesses. And when I feel that little tingle, that little it's, I'm like, ooh, it's happening. Can I admit something? What's up?

I have antibiotics that I did get, prescribed to me over the weekend, didn't take them. Oh. But like, it's because my, this is more so because of what the doctor said. But you also got sick like on Thursday or Wednesday, right? Yeah, I got sick on like, I think it started Wednesday, like, end of day Wednesday. And it was like a light scratch in my throat. And it's only been throat stuff.

You know what I mean? Because I'm the goat. And I went to the doctor by Friday? Yeah, by Friday I want to say I went to the doctor. And he was like, he was like, I'm prescribed this for you. But like, take it if you start to feel like a fever, like, you know, start to like get warm or whatever, anything else. And it's, it's not been

that. It's only been the throat. And so I've been waiting. But part of me is like, should I have just taken it? At this point you're already, yeah. I feel like I'm already past it. You're far gone, yeah. Because I feel great except for the throat. Yeah. It's killing me. Yeah. You should be good now, I think. If there's any doctors in chat, let me know what I should do.

Yeah. I think you're good by now. Okay. Yeah. But also, like, you paid for them. So it's like I did pay for them. Yeah. A little copay, right? Not bad. 40 bucks or whatever. Yeah, it was not expensive. Yeah, not bad. For like American standards. Yeah.

Video game therapy, everybody. All right. So, oh, what's on here? You hear that? What game engine are you? What game engine am I? I think I'm unreal.

Because everybody uses me. I'm sorry. Who are you? This is not a comedy session. This is therapy. All right, so let's be serious about this. Who am I? Who are you?

Um, I am a, I am a person that likes video games. Um, I have many other hobbies as well, but I like to think that I'm a pretty authentic person, sometimes funny. Not oftentimes, but sometimes every now and then I can be funny. Um, you know, I think I'm empathetic. Um, I care a lot about people, especially those who are marginalized, because we're all in this together. I meant more like video game. Oh, sorry. Who am my video game wise?

See, I don't know. That's one of my issues, is that I don't know who I am. How do you want me to get into that? Maybe we can find that out. If you had tiny QA workers in your brain, what bugs are they fixing? Oh, that's a really good question. What bugs are they fixing in my brain in regards to video games,

specifically? Because let me tell you, I'm pretty sure I have some other bugs my brain going on. Yeah, maybe not when it comes to, you know, trauma or... No trauma. Okay. You know, I'm thinking more, you know, something gaming-wise when you go, what's wrong with me here?

In a similar way when Greg Miller goes, why can't I enjoy Expedition 33? Yeah. I think for me, I'd say a bug that I have in my brain, I think I'm liking video games less as I age. I think as I get older, and maybe this is just I've played so many video games now in my lifetime, that I see new AAA games, and I'm like, I get excited less and less, and I hate that feeling. And I think I beat myself up over it. You think you're becoming a little jaded with all of it?

Yeah, I think so. I think I'm definitely becoming jaded. I think part of it probably is talking about video game news and reporting of video game news every single day. I think I see too much of the industry now and how it works and how it functions and it brings me down. Interesting. Yeah.

What's bugging you currently? What's bugging me currently? I have a couple of things I've written down for this one. Okay. I'm also going to bring down the music, but thank you for helping us at the mood-bear it out there. That's really good.

And you were doing that music live. Like, for audio listeners, that wasn't just a pre-canned thing. You were playing the piano live. Well, the chords are going. The chords are going. Oh, yeah, those notes you're playing. I, uh, that's very impressive. That's me on a plane right there.

I was trying my best to like, how do I, like, bring the lights down, but like not. Yeah, I started, I started, I started feeling it too. I was about to fall asleep. And that's, honestly, when I'm on a plane, I'm listening to shit like that, man, with rain in the background. With rain drops and just, like, these resonant tones. Just a question from the peanut gallery who struggles with flying in particular. You're listening to this and this is, you know, letting you disassociate from, you know, all the...

Well, it's that on the Lexa Pro. Ah, ah. Yeah. Okay. You're letting that disassociate you from, you know, all the turbulence happening around you. Oh, man, I'll tell you what. Random five foot drops. Oh, man, I'm knocked out.

I'm like an elephant that just got like seven fucking shots for, like, trained shots, you know? Like, I'm out, dude. I had a flight. My most recent flight, I knocked out, woke up, and I was shocked by how much time it passed. I thought I took a 30 minute nap I looked at the clock and I was like Whoa I've been gone for that long It's an amazing feeling

So what's been bugging me currently I have two things I've written down for this one I'll start with the top one I've written down right And it harkens back to what I mentioned just before I feel like AAA I'm focusing it on a specific genre here Because I think it's the biggest perpetrator AAA action adventure games

Have gotten so formulaic That I don't find them interesting anymore And somebody in chat mentioned Plus we know you're talking about Wolverine It's not just Wolverine I think Wolverine's an example of it. But there are so many AAA, like, I think back to a game, God of War Ragnarok, for example,

and God of War 2018, I think those games are immaculate. When I look at them, when I see the cutscenes, when I see the craftsmanship, the artistry, the budget, everything about those games, it's like I can't really deem anything about this. But I feel like, I don't feel as much anymore

when I'm playing those games I like there's a level to it where I feel like I've been there done that so many times with AAA action adventure games and like the ways in which they deviate obviously story the story in all these games are different and so like a god of Oragner Rock

that keeps me in because I'm like oh I'm locked in into what's happening in Crados' Story and a Trace's story. So you feel like that's the main variable. Yeah and like slight mechanics here and there pragmatia for example right that's a game that I feel like I had this thing of very strongly, where I'm like, I'm playing this game,

and I remember saying this during my, maybe not my review, during some other moment where we were talking about Pragmata, and I was like, yeah, it kind of feels like every other action game to me, and somebody in chat was like, what the fuck are you talking about?

It's so different than every other action game, and they're talking about the hacking system. And I'm like, yeah, but that's just like one added feature. Like when I, when I play all the other parts of Pragata, I very much have played this video game a million times. Just because you add in the hacking system doesn't then make it entirely a different thing to me.

and I promise I'm not trying to turn this into another pragmat I'm stopping on this game. You apply that to any other AAA action game that I played in recent, I would say even beyond years at this point, right? Like I think I felt this way for a very long time about action adventure games. Okay.

So. And I want to reel it back and say it's not that I'm not enjoying them because I am enjoying them, but I think I'm not excited about them as I once was. Do you wonder that if you have to change the genre, or if you have to add mechanics that make it feel like something different,

that you're maybe looking for a different genre completely? Like, what is it, like, when you see these AAA games, and they are, you know, cutscene characters talking to somebody, back into the hack and slash action. Yeah, back into the, follow the linear path. And it may be very similar feeling. when you ask yourself, how would I make this game better?

Are we talking are we talking about mechanics that would fundamentally change what the game is? And then does that maybe pull us out to the macro and go maybe it's just this genre completely? Maybe I'm looking and yearning for a different genre.

Like if I said, I wish I had a lot of choices and consequences and it's like, okay, well, you're maybe wanting like a much bigger RPG. I wish I had character and it's like yeah maybe I am yearning for something else completely then you know I think it's a little bit of column A, a little bit of column B

because I there have been examples for sure this generation of certain action adventure games coming out and have me like I'm totally locked into them an example being returnal like when I look at the catalog of PlayStation

for in fact though death stranding in here as well right PlayStation first party games a lot of a lot of a lot of which I feel like kind of fall into the formula thing for me. Like a ghost of Yote, for example, which I reviewed last year. And like even though I think I gave it an eight out of ten, I think it sounded like I was not enjoying my time with it. I look at a returnal and I'm like,

that was such a breath of fresh air because structurally, they did something different with it, right? The way that they were telling the story, the way that they were interweaving that narrative in like a really unique way really worked for me. I look at a game like from this year, my current game of the year, I want to say, is 007 First Light, which is kind of like, that's just a AAA-ass action-adventry game. But I think because it had so much of the I.O. interactive, almost like immersive sim, choose your route.

Like, there was enough in the core foundation of it that makes it feel like I have choice. I think choice is a very big part of it, which I'll get to it a second. But yeah, that game did enough for me to make it feel fresh and new. But I think part of it is choice. Because Returnal, the choices I'm making moment to moment really are like, all right, do you want to go into this room? Do you want to go into this room? Do you want to pick up this thing that will upgrade you this way? Or do you want to pick up this other thing that's going to downgrade you this way, but upgrade you in this way?

Or do you want to play with this build or this other build, right? Like a lot of Rogelites do that. that 007 First Light has the thing of yeah, do you want to go this way? Do you want to go this other way? Do you want to solve this problem this way? Do you want to do it this other way? I feel like a lot of action-adventure games don't have that level of meaningful gameplay choice. And so I think a little bit of it is the genre thing where a lot of the conventions kind of just lead you toward like, all right, here's a skill tree.

You're going to fill out this whole skill tree anyway. You know what I mean? Like, here are these missions. Really, you just got to take down all the enemies and then move on to the next cutscene and then do enemies after that. right and the story's going to be serviceable to good to great sometimes they're fantastic when i think of a ragner rock oh a blessing yeah let me wipe your mind let me give you a men-in-black mind wipe okay give me a mind wipe yeah you played 007 first light yes and i want you to be completely honest if you told yourself i'm going to play 007 first light and you experienced all of it

but suddenly this time that you play it the story and the characters and the writing are pretty mid what if I gave you a 007 first slide from a different multiverse that comes out

and the acting and the writing just doesn't quite work out everything kind of mid across the board yeah everything gameplay-wise identical how do you feel about double first light now way lower

definitely way lower i think the story definitely carried so much of that experience um here's the thing because i look at a hitman for example and hitman obviously different video game but didn't doesn't really have a story that grips me whatsoever

ask me what happens in hitman's one through three i could not tell you shit now let me cut you off there What's up? Many people will say that what first light did was a very diet version of what Hitman does

depth-wise mechanically. Yes. Almost a facsimile of what Hitman does where it's just it's the Coke, I shouldn't say Coxier's coaxia is awesome. But it's, you know, you're getting the calorie.

You're getting the calorie-free, sugar-free version of what it's doing gameplay-wise. Yeah. And if I pair that with awful writing and awful characters, I said, I should say mid. Sure, sure. But you're going to be disappointed by this experience. Yeah.

Would that also, would that game not come out and you go, damn? I'm very jaded by AAA video games. Yes. I'm so over this experience. I see where you're driving this. Are you saying that I am jaded specifically by the not great? AAA video games. Blessing? Yeah.

I think that's exactly what I'm saying. I think the story and the storytelling and characters we give a darn about pushes so much of this. Yeah. And leverages an already fun video game with, you know, decent enough mechanics. And then we get fun, quippy writing,

and I'm not talking to it, you know, the cheesy MCU type shit, but like stuff that feels. good. Your, I will say, your happiness to cringe ratio, like a nine to one. For every nine times you're like,

damn, that was a good line. You might have one moment of like, I didn't really like that. But for the most part, you're like, what a great narrative experience this was. And I think we are getting maybe a lot of samey games

and maybe you're feeling the, you're starting to feel the sameness all over the place. And when those narratives don't hit, it exacerbates how sameness all of those are. Yeah. But first light really hit narratively, I think, in my opinion.

I agree. Compared to other AAA games in the space, I think it really, really knocked it out of the park. Yeah. So is it possible that if a lot of these games come out with very samey mechanics, but character-wise and narrative-wise, they are all just immaculate 9 out of 10, 10 out of 10. Do you feel like that might change your perspective on these?

I could see that. I could see that. I feel the same way with me. Like, I feel like if so many seven out of ten, six out of ten games came out and had amazing stories, I'd be like, wow. These are, I put these at eight to nines, you know. Sure. And a lot of that, especially when these developers focus on those aspects of game development,

and they really, really want you to care about their story. But sometimes they just don't got it like that. But when they do have it, it makes that experience all that more. more memorable. I like that. I like that a lot. I think I've been fixed. You were fixed. What do you want to fix about your gaming habits, blessing? Okay, this kind of goes hand in hand a little bit with what we just talked about, but I'm playing less weird games, right? I'm becoming more turned, like I mentioned, right, I'm playing less, I'm, I've become more turned off by AAA action-adventure games, but I feel like I have to play those games for work, resulting me playing

less weird games. Does that make sense? I know I said that in a weird way, right? Sure. Like, I look at my gaming in the last couple of years versus the kind of games I was playing in the late 2010s, early 2020s. You know, I keep track of all the games that I beat. And I feel like because more and more

and more games come out, that means more and more AAA games come out. And I feel like for our job, that means, oh, we got to keep up with the big things for Game of the Year conversation and all this shit, right? But I was thinking about this Because Bear, you'll like this. Last week, I played Delta Rune Chapter 3, only Chapter 3. I want to

play, I want to keep playing. You got through the entire chapter. He thought you're going to say titanium cord. He got really excited. Yeah, I got really excited. I know it in his mind. He was like, oh my God, you got all getting. Because I knew you were playing Delta Rune. Like, that's not like, alright, what else this fucking do? Yeah, but I say things all the time that I don't do. Yeah, it's true.

So I actually did play Delta Rune chapter 3. and I got such an intense nostalgia to an era of gamer that I was in 2015, 2016 where like, I started thinking about when I first played Undertale and like how that hit, right? And like playing the games like Life is Strange or playing like weird puzzle games

or like I feel like in 20, 2017, I remember having the back to back to back of playing Gough Story than Dead Cells and like other indie indie titles. I know I'm not saying like the most deep code. games by any means. But like even that same year. At the time.

At the time. And like I'll pull out a game like jazz punk that I played, right? I feel like I'm making less time to play those games. And I'm more focused on the action adventure than like more of the AAA stuff, just period now. And I think it's, it's, that's contributing a bit to my jadedness, I guess. So that's something I want to, I want to change about myself is I want to play more weird games. Okay. This year, are there any weird games?

besides titanium court like Barrett's going to recommend. Yeah. And I know I got to play it. And it's my promise to bearer that I will play it by the end of the year. It'll be my nighttime steam deck game. It'll replace Fields of Mystery right now. Are there any games? And chat, let us know on the Super Chats.

If there are any weird games that you would say, these are the weird ones you got to check out. And I'm talking like, I'm not, guys, I'm not talking like Hades or something. I'm talking like, I'm talking the games that came out in 2026 that, that probably sold 4,000 copies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like something truly, truly under the radar. And it's not just under the radar for under the radar.

Like, it's not just one of those you're trying to champion. And it's like, oh, it's a super awesome game that does everything that all the best Rogelights does. I mean, like, I would say even like past Roguelight. Like something really funky. Like, give me a fucking, like a dating sim that's also like a fucking, like a fucking, like violent rogolike. Yeah.

What about a what about? I guess I did love boyfriend dungeon. What about Zalavir's? That's a really good example. Yeah. Yeah, Truccoon is supporting me from hell or whatever. Yeah, supporting me from another world. Yeah.

That's a really good call out because I did want to play that game and I just didn't get around to it when I came out, which I think it came out like a week or two ago. That for sure was on the list. Do we count Denshetak? I think Denshetak's weird enough. Yeah. I think that's a very weird game that just also happens to. to resonate with a lot of people are kind of funny,

so it seems a lot more, maybe, mainstream, you know? I think it's mechanically, maybe a little bit more mainstream, but just aesthetically different, is what I would say about Denshotak. Yeah, which I did play more of Densatack the other week as well. That game, that game hits.

It's a really good game. I had another one in mind that I lost. Oh, what was it? Was it a weird deep cut game? not even a deep cut game oh okay this isn't this isn't like a deep cut by any means but big walk

yes big walk is a game that like is different and looks like it would be completely my type of shit like that's the kind of game where if it came out enough years ago it wouldn't even be a question of like oh yeah I'm checking out this game with the homies but like that game came out and then fucking Marvel Tocon came out

and like games that were reviewing are coming in and I'm like damn I'm letting this shit just passed me by It's really hard. Well, okay. It's very hard to get on the schedule right now a day where all of us are in the office and all of us are available. Yeah. But the plan has been to get a party mode for us or big long extra jumbo stream for us to do a big walk. But we would all be from home on the prox chat, not in studio, so we're not next to each other easily talking. Like the whole point of that game is to be apart but together, you know, and you're using the prox chat as. one of the main mechanics to communicate and talk to people.

Are we going to play through that whole game? And also, is that a game? I want to. Is that a game that I could play elsewhere and then play with the KF crew? I have had people tell me that it's like you get some of the magic of the puzzle spoiled. Okay. And it's not this. I mean more of like the discovery.

You know what I mean? They're like, whoa, that thing is this. You know, like I've heard from some people that playing through multiple times is like still fun, but loses some of that. first time magic. Yeah, because logistically, I would like to figure that. Because I think part of this, too, is just how our job affects the way that we play games. Because I'm in a

Discord group with a bunch of homies. Yeah. And like, they're talking, or I think I was one that brought up. I was like, any of y'all playing Big Walk? Because I think I thought it disappeared from our schedule. I know we talked about it, but I was like, oh, I don't see it on the schedule, so maybe we're not playing it. So, like, I went into that Discord and I was like, any of y'all trying to play Big Walk.

And then they started scheduling. But then like, as they started scheduling, I started thinking about like my free time and like this is I think the most Greg Miller about it it's the most first world problem okay where like I started thinking about like oh but I want to play volleyball and then I have D&D and then I have this and I have that and like you know I got a hinge date plan for this day and then like I was kind of like do I want to spend or do I want to commit this time to playing a video game and I'm like what life do I live I'm so blessed to people will even have that thought yeah but it's also the thing where video games have become such work now that I'm kind of

Kind of like, oh, if I can figure out a way to play Big Walk, it's part of my work hours. That way I can do something that's not video games when I go home in the evening. I don't know. That's something for me to reckon with, Chad. I can't wait to hopefully get to reckon with that with you. All right. And we're also going to get to some super chats, some very good questions from people in the super chats. Again, give us your very, very under the radar weird games that blessing can maybe look into for the rest of 2020.

thank you to Andy for being responsible about the germs. Thank you, Katie, G. Also, did you check to see the K. AD rate like the kill death ratio on the halo thing you said you're going to do that I said I'd ban me you like 10 bucks not that much work for you it's only like 10 hours of content if you could do watch that and just keep track of who has the most kills and deaths that'd be great I think I think Tim might have paid for them to not do that oh got you yeah understandable um you're also on keyboard and mouse let's just throw that out there for context like you had an

advantage that's it that's a great point you bring that yeah I'd like to also dive into that. Fuck. I got myself there. I'd also like to dive real deep into that one. I got myself there. Because there's a very, very obvious avoidance. To whenever you have the option to play keyboard mouse.

Should I just talk about my biggest gaming insecurity? I would love to talk about your gaming biggest insecurity blessing. But also, I want to ask, how feel you? I say, I don't feel you. How feel you? you? It's an oppressive Yoda from

Phantom Venice. Oh. But I can't even hear the word you say. I always imagine Yoda on a like do it like he's

him as a therapist going how feel you. Oh how feel you. Oh that's funny. That's really funny. All right.

Go ahead. I love first person shooters. I love multiplayer first person shooters but most of the time I'm bad at them. I and like

I like to think I'm good like and I have moments of goodness. I have moments. I have like rounds. All around that I'm great, and then the rest of the night,

I'll play like trash. But like, I love Rainbow 6 so much. I love Overwatch so much. I love, like, call duty so much, right? I'm so bad at them. Okay. And I would love to impact it.

Yeah. Because a lot of this is not even therapist, Andy. A lot of it is just friend Andy, co-worker, Andy. Sure, sure, sure. And almost like, rescuer Andy. When I'm, you know, if I'm driving down the road and I see somebody on the side of the road with a crash car and I'm like, I should help them. Sure.

I should hop in and assist in the situation. And there's a lot of resistance. There's a lot of, there's a lot of, like, blessing saying, yeah, I would like to give that a shot. and then once it starts an immediate never mind I don't want to do this yeah

and I've been saying for the last three or four years we got to just do a you are only playing keyboard mouse on this game because the tools that I so dominated with

in Halo are also available to you busing yeah and it will change the way you play and it will launch you into a different realm of confidence and you will feel a lot more like you belong in some of these matches.

And there will, the ratio will totally flip of you going, man, I had a couple good rounds for the rest of the time, kind of getting just dicked on it. The ratio will flip and it'll, you will feel so much better about your skill. And there's just, what is it about, what is it about the keyboard, mouse experience that makes you so hesitant towards it. It's relearning a new language is what it is. It's because like I've, I'm 32 years old now.

I've been playing video games for as long as I have been conscious. Like I fucking woke up one day and I was playing Mario since before. Wayne Gretzzi's studio hockey actually probably my first one. And I've been using a controller that whole time. Now I've had some instances of playing with mouse and keyboard. Usually it's single player stuff on PC. like Starfield, I played on PC with a mouse and keyboard because there are so many fucking menus in that game

and all that shit, right? I think SkyRum I played with mouse and keyboard. But for the most part, if I'm playing something that's fast-paced that requires quick thinking, I have to play on controller because it's like, I don't have to think about it, right? It's like, it's right there, I know where the buttons are. I know if I'm playing Overwatch right now,

you ask me, how do I go invincible as Reaper? And it's like, oh, L-1, how do I teleport around, R-1? You know what I mean? Like, what's this point? button is Hanzo to do like the area of effects scan. Oh, R1. It's switch. Like, I know it so immediately that changed it in a mouse and keyboard, it feels like you threw me into a new country and went, learn how to speak this language that you don't know. And I'm like, oh, man, I got to start from scratch now. And that's the part. And I'm even though knowing that like, if I lived in a

Spanish-speaking country, guess what? If I learned Spanish, I'll be able to move more efficiently. For me, it's the same thing where I'm like, I know I can. I know I can. should, but I'm just so, I'm intimidated. That seems like such a tall task. Are you, are you intimidated to, to be bad in public about it? Are you like, people are going to see me struggling on this learning a new language.

They're going to laugh at me for not knowing Ustead is and different parts of the Spanish language. They're going to laugh at me for not knowing that shit. I'd rather not get laughed at. I don't think it's that. I think it's more so the fun factor. where I'm having enough fun playing on controller, even though I know I could be better if I just got good at mouse and keyboard.

But like, if I'm playing Reaper or Hanzo on controller on Overwatch, like, it's immediate to the fun. Whereas keyboard and mouse, I'm not having as good of a time, but that's because I haven't gotten there yet. You know, it's going to take some practice to get there. And I think I'm scared that it's going to take longer than probably what it is.

You know? Like, how long will it take? That's definitely true. How long will it take for me to get as good on keyboard and mouse that I am already on controller? That's the thing for me. Yeah. That's a good question. How long did it take for you?

Well, I mean, I was just like you. I was, I'll never forget when Overwatch comes out and the homie Louis Medina, Funky Lou, Funky Lou Medina, was watching one of, was watching, I think, me play Overwatch at Rooster Teeth. on controller and he was like man this shit looks slow i was like dude but i'm fucking awesome his zaniana like i play controller i'm i'm the goat and i wasn't the goat right but like i grew up only playing halon controller and that was like those were my my my my that was the foundation of it all uh and then just decided to do keyboard mouse during the pandemic and i feel like i took to it pretty quickly like within a week

of just playing matches and watching that one video about the 360 rule and sensitivity and you know if you could do a 360 with your character on a mouse pad

that's a good spot to start with sensitivity because every game you're always like why is it's going to just have that baseline of knowledge because otherwise you're like Nick or Mike

the first couple times are hopping in a keyboard mouse games where every game has a different starting sensitivity and you're like fuck this feels weird and different but and and it's probably a me thing like no it's a game thing and you could just make all the games feel a lot more similar to each other if you make the sensitivity the same thing so you know that when you move your mouse that much this way it's going to move that

much on the screen and all that stuff just kind of like it I feel like I took to it pretty quickly the and what helps me a lot is like the thumb mouse buttons because I don't love hitting the alt I don't love hitting Control for Crouch Oh I hate control for Crouch That's always C for me Oh okay I don't like

I don't like the The V button too much Like a lot of people put like V on a melee And for me that's not That's just Mouse 4 Like so I got really really used to that With Overwatch once I swapped to a keyboard mouse And so Mouse 4 is like

Always my melee button usually And the other mouse 5 button would be like an ability or throw grenade or some bullshit like that or whatever but i feel like i i feel like i was kind of like a what do they call like a duck to water like a fish to water okay like a moth to a flame like a horse to a to a stream you know yeah i like that and i really picked it up fairly quickly i would say and i don't it's just like it's just so much easier to shoot at the thing you're trying to shoot at when you know that like

I'm using my mouse something that I've been using on a computer my whole life you know yeah but like for as long as you've been playing first person shooters on controller you've been making a mouse click on shit on a computer even longer than that that's a good point so it's that's true it's less of a you're better than you think you are okay I think like Tim has the issue with the buttons yeah with the left hand of the movement and things like like that. And once I realized that like I hate crouch on control because my pinky just doesn't like

going over there. See for crouch slash slide right? Yeah. All of that stuff just became like second nature to me. Like it just feel like it was inherently in my in my brain. But yeah, the aiming the aiming stuff just yeah, once I kind of watched a couple of videos of like that 360 rule, that's your foundation. I got a lot more comfortable with it. We have a super chat here. from Go Go Monster Truck who says Play Foonie Raccoon game Bless and Barrett

Foonie Raccoon game? Yeah Derek can you bring up a trailer or something if you have the time? I thought my brain is going crazy I was like Does this say fun?

But no, that's F-U-N-I Raccoon game. Never heard of this. I assume that's the one that came out in 2026. Oh. This looks weird. Yeah, this does look like weird shit.

Yeah, you're playing as a little pixelated raccoon, I guess, in a 3D world. It looks like as a Windows 95 screen saver. This seems like less art. This seems like something Roger would play. Oh, Roger would love this game of the year. Yeah. Roger would definitely love this. Yeah.

Oh, my God. So, yeah. We were asking for weird shit. That's a good one right there. That is very weird. We have a super chat here from M. Knight Shamanamanan. who says, bless, if you enjoyed limbo and other puzzle platforms,

you should try Bionic Bay. Has some of the best physics puzzles and pretty short. Dude, I'm funny enough, I did try Bionic Bay. I got some good scores. Yeah, that's why I got it on my fantasy critic, is I played a demo, I'm pretty sure, and then bid for it. Or was it the other way around?

I think I saw a trailer, and then I bid for it. And then we got the review code, and I played a little bit and went, oh, this seems really incredible. I should play more. And then I probably went on to whatever AAA video game I was playing at the time. So yeah, that's a really good suggestion.

I'd love to go back to Bionic Bay. Oh, blessing. You have some gaming gaps in your history, and that brings you some stress. Yeah. So this goes along with, you know, what is my gaming insecurity? And, like, am I super insecure about this? Not necessarily, but I think it does. Maybe sometimes I'm insecure about it, depending on, like, what the conversation is.

So I have gaming gaps. Obviously, like, we all probably do to some extent because my parents didn't buy me every single console. Particularly, I didn't own a GameCube. I didn't own a DS or 3DS. I didn't own an Xbox. And then I also didn't own, or 360 for the matter. Were those cousin consoles? Xbox was like a next-door neighbor console.

My next-door neighbor, Freddie, I was at his place all the time playing his Xbox games. Tell me about Addison. Addison had a PlayStation. He started off with the Super Nintendo, which funny enough, that is also a guy. actually is the Super Nintendo, except I played all the time at Addison's house. So I learned about Street Fighter and shit. Really cool. He then went on to get a PS2 before I did.

That's how I experienced a lot of these PS2 games early on. It's through Addison. Freddie, I'll play in jet set radio feature at his place. Oh my God. What a video game. Freddie and Addison. Freddie and Addison. Freddie also had Blinks the Time Sweeper.

Man, blew my mind. I was like, what is this? This shit looks crazy. But then also like PC stuff, specifically like early 2000s, half-life. DeusX, the kind of games that I know are completely my shit because I love Deus X Human Revolution and I love dishonored and like all these immersive Sims. If I had a like PC set up early on, I feel like I would be a completely different gamer. Gotcha.

But I note those as insecurities mainly because like I think it gets on my nerves whenever we're having an Xbox conversation and then people in chat or comments are all like, oh, Boston's talking about Xbox and you never even have. I had an Xbox and I'm like, well, I couldn't control that my mom didn't buy me an Xbox. You know what I mean? I can't go back in time and tell my mom to like get me an Xbox because one day I'm going to be on kind of funny games daily and Ashton was going to fucking lay off everybody. Like it's not really something I can do, but it does.

I think it isn't insecurity because no matter what, it still gets on my nerves because I'm like, I wish I did though. Like I wish I had the history with every gaming ecosystem because I do, I think I do love video games that much to want to know everything and be the guy. that's like, oh, you have such a wide variety of like experiences and all that. But inherently, I'm just not that person because, you know, like my mom didn't buy me every single thing because you probably just didn't want to spend all that money. Yeah, I mean, you know.

Expensive hobby. My parents barely wanted me to buy, barely wanted to buy me like video games for consoles I had because they're like, you're addicted and you're getting bad grades. And I was like, yeah, but Smackdown versus Raw 2007. I was the king of just rentals, you know? constantly renting games. Yeah. Like purchasing games

happened maybe on a birthday or Christmas, but everything else is like, you go to Hollywood video or you go to a Hollywood video, I'm going to freeze frame, I wish they let us rent games more. My parents would let us rent games early on.

And it was mainly when all my sisters still lived at home because they have three older sisters and they would, we would go to trips to family video because that was down the street from us. And my sisters were always getting movies. It was always like,

okay, what movie do you want to watch tonight? Let's go to a family video. And while we're there, I would see that video game section. And for some reason, as a kid, I would only rent the same two video games. It would be Wave Race, 64, which I fuck with Raver Race. And then it would be Paper Mario, 64. Was it out of fear that you might get a stinker? Um, was, were your renting habits similarly to me at a restaurant where I'm like, no, but I like that meal. I don't want to take a risk.

I think it was a little bit of that and then a little bit of... I only get this once a weekend. My parents knew those were kid-friendly games as well. So, like, I think they saw that and were like, oh, yeah, you can get the... Maybe they just didn't know about Zelda. Maybe Zelda was always already checked out, you know? Because I'm like, why didn't I play Zelda as a kid? I played Zelda when I was, like, in college, or Ocarina specifically.

You have here written blessed that. Yeah. You've lost sight of why you review video games. Yeah, so that goes back to what is bugging me currently, right? I have to write down a bunch of stuff under this because, like, yeah, when it comes to video game reviews, I think I've lost side of it a bit. And I'll go bullet point by bullet point here, right?

Because I feel like if I review a game and my review is like off from the consensus of like what Metacritic is saying or what other reviewers are saying, then it's deemed as like invalid. Like I'll look at the top comment, which I know I shouldn't read comments. And that's another problem.

Put that in here somewhere of like problems that I have that need fixing. is that I'll see the top comment and it's like Put a note down Fuck the comments Fuck the comments, yeah But they'll be like

Oh, but other reviewers said this It'll always be the top comment Of like, oh, you're the lowest review thing And I'm like, well, that's not why I review video games, right? I'm not reviewing video games So that I can agree with every other reviewer I'm giving reviews

so that I can give you my perspective on this video game But I feel like And I know I shouldn't let comments dictate my total view, right? But I feel like so many people don't feel like that should be reviews. I feel like more people want the blanket recommendation of like, no, just, I am listening to you so you can tell me that Spider-Man 2 is a fantastic game.

And if you don't tell me that, then why am I here? And I'm like, well, then why am I doing it? Because you have so many other people to tell you that. You know what I mean? Go to IGN, go to GameSot. Go to anywhere else is going to tell you that. I'm also going to tell you that because I like Spider-Man too. But you get what I'm saying.

like whatever the popular video game is, I, yeah, I'm like, I think as I review more games and as I see pushback, and it's not just me, it's when any of us review something that's like off the average score or whatever, where people get up in arms, and I'm like, why are we doing, why am I doing this then? You know what I mean?

I'd rather, I've gotten to the point, I'd rather talk about video game news and layoffs sometimes than I'd rather talk about my review for video games with how, like, people react to it. Because at the very least, like, I don't know. Like, there's something about, there's something about the reaction reviews that very much has me, maybe it contributes to the burnout of it as well, where I'm like, I don't look forward to it anymore, you know?

I used to love looking forward to, like, digging into a game and talking about, like, how it hit us differently and all this shit. But yeah, I feel like it's, I feel like it's an impenetrable task to, like, get an, original thought that I have about a video game to the audience. And maybe that's also like, maybe it's a reflection of my own ability to review games. I think that's, that's another thing that's like gotten into me as well of like, am I not communicating this in an effective enough way? How feel you? And this is to when Greg did this.

I feel like Greg expressed the same thing of him, like, one of his insecurities is like his own ability to review video games. And I think I feel the exact same thing. but mainly from the angle of like I don't know how to make it work. If I can't give a review for a game that everybody's like, oh, this is an eight and I can't give it a seven.

I'm rambling now. But you get what I'm talking about. We have a super chat here. From Mellow Fellow, $5 super chat says, I'd recommend tormenture based off the OG adventure game that leans into scary and has inscription vibes.

I mean, I did love. inscription. Tormenture. If you have the time and energy, you can see a trailer. We get a look at tormenture. I love to look at tormenture, please. But yeah, that's pretty much all I got to say about the

review stuff. Like, I look at, ooh, hold on. So you're playing it off of like a CRT screen. Yeah, it's got that sort of rounded CRT filter on it. Yeah. I'm kind of fucking with this.

When did this come out? It's one of those things that, like, I keep on, I keep on just harp into people that, like, your game, like, art direction means so much. Yeah. And your game doesn't have to be the DLSS-5 path tracing thing for me to like the way it looks. It's just got to have a style and it's got to have a confidence to attack that style and say, like, I'm going to,

commit to this vision. When you commit to that vision and if the vision's cool looking, it's like, damn, that's some good art direction right there. Yeah, for audio listeners, it looks like an Atari game, but like, it's doing some crazy shit with it. Swap into different, you know, swapping into 3D at some points and things like that.

Resolute $10 SuperJat says, I look forward to your reviews, especially specifically because we have similar taste. Too many people ignore that, and they don't, that they don't have the same taste of every reviewer. Take the human aspect out of it. That's why I review games. Yeah.

That's why I care about reviewing games. And that's why I... Because you know there's people out there that are looking forward to what Andy has to think about this thing. Yeah, to make like an informed purchase and say like, I usually align with the stuff that Andy likes. I will probably like this as well. And also, because sometimes I want to champion something that I feel like maybe won't be the biggest hit. and if I could sell, if I could help us really, really small games, sell a couple dozen more copies.

I'll feel good about that. That, like, more people are playing this small thing that I really, really love. And I'm passionate about this thing. And I'm glad that other people, like the amount of citizen sleeper and the King is watching comments that I've gotten from so many people in the past couple of months, ever since King is watching hit consoles of like, oh, man, I'm so glad I bought this. Thank you for like never shutting up about it. It's like, yeah, dude, the game's awesome. And it's a really, really small team.

I'm glad that they're, you know, seeing some more success with it. Yeah. Pan Heights with a $2 superjad says, Andy, are you using mouse and keyboard for playing Red Dead Red Dead Redemption too? I am, and it's not a great experience. But any game that has like an aiming aspect to it, I love keyboard mouse. And that when I played 007 for a slight, I was playing control the whole time.

And anytime we got into a shootout segment, the license to kill segments, I switched to keyboard mouse and it was the coolest third person shooter ever because I love the skill involved with trying to get the headshot and all that stuff feels great but it was that

that's the only game that I've played that way with where like controlling on the normal control I felt great to do the everything else whether it's sneaking gadgetry all that shit and as soon as things busted out until a license to kill stopped the keyboard mouse bam and it was fun as fuck

it's one reason why I gave that game like such a much higher score than a lot of other people I feel like I think that's like I think it was like a nine out of ten like I love that game and the because the license to kill sections were really really hard on controller

when I saw it to keyboard mouse I was like oh I'm this is so fun like I'm hitting headshots this feels so much fun one thing I'll say to the review thing I think it's part of it is probably just the scores aspect of it and like it's it's a tough one for me to reckon with because

as somebody who consumes video game reviews, I do like scores. You know what I mean? Like, I consume scores all the time. I'm on open critic. You know what I mean? We look at Faisa Critic for all this shit as well.

But I think I don't look forward to the score because when I give a score, because I feel like it distracts from all the other shit that I'm talking about. And like, if we bring up a game casually, like you talk about Citizen Sleeper, right? Like, I think if we're on a KHD

or if we're on a games cast, that's not a review, but like I happen to bring up a game that I'm playing. or that I'm enjoying and I talk about it, for me, that's pure euphoria of getting to, like, share this thing that I like with other people or talk about this thing.

But yeah, when it's like a formalized, oh, I'm giving this thing a seven or I'm giving an eight and then I have to, like, justify it, I think that's where a lot of people, I feel a lot of people take the words too seriously or maybe take the number too seriously and then they pick apart the words in a way where I'm like, man, if I didn't give a score to this thing,

then, like, you would just hear the words that I'm saying, and you would not care nearly as much. Yeah. I'm just the Billy, says Annie needs to host every therapy session now. Yeah, you're a good therapist. Thank you. I did my best. I wish more therapists came with a keyboard.

Resolute also with a $5 super chat says, Lutz, he should play this small indie game, Kingdom Hearts, Birth by Sleep. Man, let me tell you. When the Kingdom Hearts news is happening over the weekend, there was... Fever pitch. There was a little bit of a voice in my head. I was like, what if you, what if you picked up Kingdom Hearts too and tried it again. But then like,

Goblin masks. Coming to Switch too soon, you could have it on the go, buddy. But then like, I saw all the gameplay footage they showed of Mickey Mouse running around. I was like, never mind. It's just too goofy to me. When I got to the part of Keynes, I got to Keynes to

you, Mickey Mouse is doing fucking Yoda flips with the key, and I'm like, what is this goofy shit, man? We got a super job from Justin Rina who says, off topic, but will Andy give us a Mortal Shell 2 review? Tomorrow. Yeah.

was only going to be blessings Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls Tocco and Fighting Souls review but I will be hopping on as well to give my thoughts on Moral Shell too because I'm about 24 hours in been playing the shit out of this game I didn't realize you're playing Moral Shell like that I'm playing the fuck out of it

Wow it's pretty great yeah Pretty good video game guys so yeah Can't wait to hear about it Let's see here any other super chats We have my might pick up King of Hearts do. What? I might pick up King Marks. I might, I don't know. Oh, shit. I want to feel the magic

that y'all feel. I've never like, King of Harsch... I'm jealous of you feeling that. Dude, for real. It's like, when I look at someone in a loving marriage, I'm like, I want to feel that. Yeah, it's like when you look at somebody that's like doing something like sickening, you know, it's like when I look at somebody doing cocaine and I'm like,

no, no, no, not for me. But then it's like, damn, but y'all, you're enjoying that shit a lot. I want to know how that feels. Yeah. Let's do cocaine. I like that. Super chat here from currently working. Says recommendation, Love Eternal, Precision Platformer slash Horror.

I'm liking all these suggestions before I make it. Alec Bobko says Kaz is one you should check out. Kaz. From Meliger Solid 5. Grub Killer. I don't know if it's weird enough, but try the mermaid mask. Oh, my God. Wait.

Oh, this is scary. Oh, I remember this one. Yeah. We saw this on some I didn't realize this came out I remember this one looked very fascinating And then the pixel art Whenever it showed

You know like we saw that one lady With the kind of close up shot of her Like whoa they get really really Detailed with the pixel art Bless What's that one Game with all the different Personality thoughts

Talking inside your head That's a RPG top down Citizen Sleeper No Disco Elysium. Disco Elysium. I was playing esoteric Ebb for the first time last week. And that's exactly what I'm talking about.

If that's something you're in the mood for, I've only played like the first 30 minutes because I unfortunately started it like at night. So it was like I'm a little too tired for this. But the writing immediately, I'm like, oh, I'm laughing. I'm having a great time. I see, I didn't realize that Disco Elysium was the way it was because when I described the blessing what esoteric Ebb was. And I was like, yeah, like all the stats being strength and dexterity.

and intellect and all that, but all of them, all of those stats being different personalities and talking to you and strength being like, we got to fuck them up and intellect being, but we got to be smart about this. And I brought that up to you and you were like, oh, that's kind of like what disco elysium does.

Yeah. I was like, it's like exact one I got to get back to, man. Yeah. This is one I would love to get back to also. We should do it in September. Esoteric, yeah. We definitely should.

We definitely should. Chat, that's going to do it for blessings. Esoteric Ebb should like, we gotta make a smiley for it. It's like the game of the year that none of us play. Yeah. You know what I mean? No, don't give on up.

Don't give up on it yet. It's too early to give up on it. Oh, but we know the schedule though. I'm just saying it's 20 hours roughly. Oh, it's 20 hours? Yeah. Oh, I can do 20 hours. It's not a huge thing.

Oh. I think it's what you make of it type of thing. So that's why I'm like, I want to like, I want to commit to it. You know what? Maybe it's not right now. For the sake of fixing myself. Before the end of the year. I'm going to give Esoteric Ebb a shot before the end of the year.

Killion also says, Blessing for Weird Games, you should check out. Killer 7. Classic grasshopper joint, Sue of 51's first game. Release in the U.S. I want to say I played Killer 7. It was either that or Killer is dead.

I get them mixed up. Me too. Because we got them all wrong on a game showdown one time. Because we all said Killer is dead, I believe. That's going to do it for today's games cast, everybody. deconstructing Blessing Jr. Yeah, I hope I didn't sound obnoxious.

You know what I mean? It's the theme of the episode was complaining. I know that everything I talked about was first world problems to like the greatest degree. It's video games are my job problems, which I know are probably

insufferable for some people to listen to. But, you know, I'm out here trying to be open and honest and real. And make sure that you are open and honest and real with yourself, everybody. This has been the kind of funny games. cast, make sure you click like, subscribe, leave a comment for the algorithm. Take care of yourself, take care of each other, and we'll see you all next time.

Wrong note, fuck.
