Okay, so I looked it up. As of basically a year ago, May 4th 2017, PoGO had dropped to 5MM daily users. I have to assume it's only gone down further since then. (if there's more recent information then it's proving quite difficult to find)
Oh definitely. I still watch this one PoGO youtuber just cuz his vlogs are dope and there are a lot of people really engaged with go who aren't hardcore into the main series games. I can see this getting some of those people over with the integration between both games if they advertise it to them well.
Many of the people who still play GO regularly are super engaged with the updates relating to GO.
So basically the only people still playing GO are dedicated Pokemon fans at this point lmao. Seeing those numbers actually makes me think these entries will underperform, even despite the x-factor the Switch seems to have going for it with sales.Okay, so I looked it up.

Funnily enough, I never even considered trying out Pokemon Go at its height, but now I've been itching to download it actually. I've been going on walks more lately just to try and stay in shape and it seems like it could be a good way to pass the time haha.
It does! I've lost count now the times Pokemon Go has gotten us out of the house (we're home bodies) to walk through the parks enjoying some fresh air and catching Pokemon! Plus you'd be surprised how many other players you'd run into (at least in my area).
A dad with his two young kids overheard my wife and I talking Pokemon and asked if we played Pokemon Go. We said yes. He then asked if wouldn't mind helping him with a lower level raid that he couldn't do by himself. We said of course!
Just little events like this is cool enough imo to play if it's something you're somewhat interested in!

Started now watching E3 predictions and bets. Waited so long for this. First three are very interesting.
TimGettys' reaction to killer queen is soooo damn cool!
Gamescast was really cool this year. Some really nice thoughts.It was a great episode. Loved watching Tim's get hyped reactions from Greg's predictions. Can't wait to watch the E3 post show! I am sad Andrea wasn't part of it (since she couldn't as she's a host for EA's conference now (I think that was it).
Watched the KFGD from two days ago this morning. The discussion gameovergreggy and Andrea had about "good" games was on point. Honestly I just cut some games I actually felt like trying from my list before watching 'cause I realized...who has the time? Ni no Kuni 2, Yakuza, wrapping up backlog from last year will carry me into September. Then suddenly I get smacked with Dragon Quest, Spider-Man, Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, and Red Dead 2, and I'm supposed to play a game I think is "just okay"? C'mon man.
There's still room for those games, if you're a person who just has a craving for what that game's offering, but most people just won't have the cash or opportunity to invest in decent games. Not that this is anything new. In old EGM days giving out a 7.0 rating meant the game was kind of a pass unless you were a fan of that series or genre.
Funny enough this point has been on my mind this morning. When they used to work at IGN and give a game a 7(good by IGN scale), they would say you should play good games. But I agree with their current thought process, why should I buy a good game when I have so many great games coming up and on my backlog. I too stopped playing NNK2 even though I liked it more than most here but I thought it was just good.
I think it's a "getting older" thing. For me personally I had way more time before to play games. Now I started buying games I have full intention on playing (Jak and Daxter, Telltale Batman, .hack, xenoblade 2) I've started to realize I'm fully in the same boat as Greg and Andrea now that with the more limited time, I can only devote to playing the "great" games. With all their new careers (IGN to KF for Greg, All contract to WGG + Contracts for Andrea) I can understand now where they're current mind sets.
I have learned something very important lately.
Kevin has terrible tastes in movies.
That is all.
I just started watching My Hero Academia and am on like ep 28 so NICE AVATAR
I would change this to say all of Kinda Funny has terrible taste in movies lmao
Games Daily, X-Men in Review, and sometimes the morning show. Party Mode when it's a game I like.Random question. How many of the different KF shows do you all watch/listen? I watch KFD, Gamescast, and GoG almost daily/weekly. I use to watch/listen to the Kinda Funny Morning Show pretty often but then for some reason I just dropped it and now I only check it out when they do reviews of stuff; in which I skip to where they do what I want to listen to and then stop. Party mode; I have only checked out the latest one with IGN, otherwise I haven't seen a single one.
What about you all?

I listen go GoG, In Review, and Gamescast. Too much going on to watch the daily stuff.I'm really liking their new "In Review" shows. MCU in Review was amazing. And though I'm not as excited with XCU In Review I've still enjoying the show. Actually currently watching the X2 episode and loving all of Greg's "anti-mutant" rants. Lol.
I watch/listen to GameOverGreggy Show, Gamescast and Games Daily. Was watching MCU In Review but am not interested in their X-Men series and I skip every episode of KFGD that has Jared on the show. I also used to be a daily viewer of the Morning Show but stopped because it's literally just an hour of housekeeping and I got tired of hearing them shit on The Last Jedi. When it comes to Party Mode I pick and choose what I want to watch. If I like the game they're playing, think there's an interesting premise or the game intrigues me I'll check it out.Random question. How many of the different KF shows do you all watch/listen?

I know this is heresy but the X-Men series has been easier to get into because I align with more of their sentiments, unlike the fairly unilateral MCU appreciation.I'm really liking their new "In Review" shows.

Also, yes, Greg and Nick have been off the rails for the past couple weeks and I love it. Sending muties to camps is such a crass joke but it makes me giggle. Listening to Kevin cringe audibly and exhaustively helps too.

Hey--
Hey--Is it just me or has Greg been giving Tim helllaaaaa shit a lot more throughout any of the shows?
Everything now makes sense.Hey--
It's not just you. It's something I've noticed myself doing, and frankly, I'm not OK with it. I don't want the shtick to become me dumping on him. We just work so well together and know each other so well that it's easy and funny to give shit, but I don't want it to become the relationship or have people think that's how I feel about him.
Except for the upcoming X-Men: The Last Stand Review. He deserves all the shit I give him there for his terrible movie opinions.
Greg
Hey--
Yeah, we mentioned doing that, but E3, man. Time just got away from us.

Agreed. That was super cool. ♥Watching you actually apologize (and hug it out!) on air kinda feels like why I watch you guys to begin with. Seeing the "best friends" ethos you champion all the time in action was awesome. It's not even a thing you had to do on air.

Thank you.KF's E3 content is on point as usual. I decided to watch alongside them for the EA one (because I already knew it would be harder to get into) and they had me rolling with their jokes. Especially the Rock Lobster Command and Conquer Rivals bit lmao.
Also Andrea did an amazing job hosting EA! And did anyone catch Danny and Adam Boyes in the background during the Quake Champions section of the Bethesda conference? I got all unnecessarily hyped lol.
