What's up and welcome to the Kind of Funny Games cast for Friday, July 18th, 2025.

The last couple days have been filled with red.

A lot of that Nintendo red goodness.

But today, I'm feeling pretty blue, bless.

How about you?

I'm feeling pretty blue as well, Tim.

And it's nice, you know? Because it still feels a little red if you know what I'm talking about. Oh, yeah. Like, Astrobot may be the closest video game to a Nintendo video game that's not made by Nintendo in history? Everything got a little bit of red in it. Everything has a little bit of red in it because, you know, we all came from Nintendo. How are you doing these days? I'm doing good. I had a fun day yesterday, of course, playing Don Kong Bananza.

I'm very excited. Everything has a little bit of red in it because, you know, it all came from Nintendo. How are you doing these days?

I'm doing good.

I had a fun day yesterday, of course, playing Don Kong Bonanza. Very excited to get back to it during the stream later today. And then afterwards went and grabbed drinks with Janet Garcia, who's in town for a preview event. How was that? How is she? It was fantastic. She's awesome, right? It was me, what? it was me, Janet, Jill from the Indian former, Barry and Alyssa, right? So we were just all kicking it, yeah, having a good time. And like, it was one of those ones where I was like, trying to be an adult. And I looked at the time. I was like, all right, it's like, you know, it's 8.30. I should probably get home, go to bed at a decent time so I can do all that stuff. And they were like, I think I got time for one more drink. One more. Just one more. See, what surprises me is that group of people, right? Oh, really? Janet, Jill, Barrett, you, Alyssa. Out. Yeah? The launch night at Donkey Kong. Oh, yeah. Any other time now. But I mean, that group specifically? Yeah. That's a don't up group. Legitably, it was the thing where I don't think I had realized when Janet first hit me up that it was the launch night of Donkey Kong. And so like, it was this week where I looked at the calendar and I was like, oh no, what have I done? But it's like, you know, Jane, it's not in town often.

Yeah, exactly. Donaldon's not going anywhere. Did you play anymore after the stream yesterday?

Not much more. I, so I ended up doing that last drink and then got home late. And honestly,

it was one drink too many. I slept like shit last night. But got home, um, played like, I could probably got like five more golden bananas. And I was like, I just got to go to bed. Barrett's not here yet. Yeah. You're just putting it together. You're just putting it together. Yeah. Yeah, Bear's not here yet. Kevin walked out. I was like, where's Barrett? I'm like, I don't know. I haven't seen him yet. That is very, very, very funny. Yeah. So I don't want to spend too much time talking about this because we do have to talk about the little bot, astro bot, but you haven't officially talked about Donkey Kong Manza in your first three hours with it. Yeah. I mean, I'm enjoying it. I almost don't want to like let it out until I'm furthering.

Because also like, we will be doing a another review, at least another review of Donkey Kong with more people playing.
