·1 hr 13 min·4 clips

Solid Snake and Sam Fisher are teaming up in Rainbow Six Siege, with David Hayter back as Snake.

1. Kinda Funny Games Daily centers this episode on PlayStation 6 timing, a Rainbow Six Siege crossover, Layers of Fear 3, and Hideki Sato's death at 77. 2. Andy and Blessing Adeoye Jr. host the show, and Andy opens on his birthday while Blessing reacts to the headlines and the ads. 3. The episode asks what happens to game hardware and game development if RAM prices keep rising and console cycles keep slipping. 4. Chris Scullion's BGC report says Sony is considering pushing the PlayStation 6 to 2028 or 2029 because Bloomberg described a RAM shortage driven by AI data centers. 5. The hosts note that Apple, Tesla, and at least a dozen other major corporations have warned about memory supply problems. 6. Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing is quoted on a "structural imbalance between supply and demand" that is not a short-term fluctuation. 7. The conversation turns to Nintendo, with the report claiming the company is considering raising the Switch 2 price this year. 8. Blessing says modern dev cycles are so long that Sony first-party studios have had fewer releases than expected this generation. 9. The discussion names Bluepoint, Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, The Days Gone studio, Ben, and Cory Barlog while talking about games that have not arrived yet. 10. The hosts also bring up Fizzant and Kojima Productions as examples of projects that may shift depending on PS6 timing. 11. Andy says the game industry feels like it has less time to recover from delays, cancellations, and studio pivots than earlier console generations. 12. Both hosts compare the AI boom to the dot-com boom, NFTs, blockchain, and crypto mining hardware shortages. 13. Blessing says AI is now integrated into everything, from Google search overviews to apps, which makes a future crash harder to ignore. 14. The episode's most sustained debate asks whether an AI bubble burst would delay consoles even further or instead change how hardware is marketed. 15. Blessing predicts PS6 software may stay cross-generation for a long time, with many PS5 versions continuing to ship alongside PS6 releases. 16. The Rainbow Six Siege story confirms Solid Snake is back, voiced by David Hayter, and that Sam Fisher appears in the reveal trailer. 17. The hosts react to possible Snake abilities like soliton radar, adaptive camo, a silenced pistol, and other Metal Gear-style tools. 18. Andy and Blessing spend part of the Siege segment watching the trailer, joking about Snake's voice and debating whether the crossover would bring them back to the game. 19. People who follow PlayStation hardware, Ubisoft crossovers, and Sega history will get the most from this episode. 20. People wanting deep reviews, long interviews, or spoiler-heavy story analysis can skip it.
