I am so thrilled that i caught this entire sequence. I stopped watching right up until the mario kart and saw the whole showdown through. Soo funny
I wish that were the case. I routinely see comments on YouTube and Reddit that KF is too PC and they need to stop catering to women and minorities. Fifteen different people jumped on me the other day for pointing out that maybe Nick's usage of "takes balls" referring to women being brave for coming out with assault stories was accidentally tone deaf.
Aw, I missed it. I think I fell asleep around 1:30. I'll have to go back and watch.
I am guessing they make a bit from ads, and they have apparel sales as well.
And agreed, KF is 10 times better since Colin left. Much more positive and you know, they only have people now who actually care about games.
That and it got us Danny O Dwyer, KFGD, Andrea Rene and Gary Whitta on their content.
Twitch and in particular Amazon Prime twitch subs has been a big increase in reveune around the same time this happened. though think tips would be down due to the morning show being shorter and tip not getting as much time as they used to.
However the Extra life was not as much as last year, this may have been the 2 hours they went of the rails and told ghost stories and were not doing any of the fundraising things. Also KF3 numbers were down from KFL2.
Personally follow both still and hate what it has done to the community but was probably for the best of both parties if Colins heart was no longer full into it/had different plans for the future.
Also love that they don't clear the PS best friend properly as read mine twice in a week lol
We'll likely not (for good reason) see Vince Ingenito appear on any KF content any time soon. (Context: https://www.resetera.com/threads/ex...allie-plagge-and-then-blamed-her-for-it.5395/)
IGN should really be taken to task for this. I'm now really glad they didn't try to hire him after he was laid off from IGN. I was someone who thought he would've been a good hire. He never seemed like that type of person, though.
I wonder if it will be brought up on on KFGD on Monday. I think Greg (maybe it was Colin) helped bring him into IGN. I hope Greg doesn't feel like he should regret IGN hiring Vince.

It's impossible to always know when someone will act this way. Greg understands that, I'm sure.
The good news is it won't be super reactionary because over the weekend there will have been enough time for things to shake down. I imagine they'll acknowledge it, apologize to any who got hurt, and reinforce that it's not okay to harass women. It's unfortunately boilerplate at this point.
As a follow-up, Vince responded on Twitter. https://twitter.com/Vincogneato/status/929173459019665409
I won't embed it, because it's a multi-tweet thing (like 12 tweets in total).
I typically ignore explanations/apologies, but he genuinely seems sorry, though I know that's probably naive of me.
Edit- Wait. He says out of respect he won't post pics of a chat where she seemed to accept his apology, then goes ahead and does it minutes later? That's... odd.

Greg super briefly mentioned the accusations today because apparently most of the employees at IGN are on strike until they issue a statement. Greg said they'll probably cover the story tomorrow.
Oh good. I checked the timestamps and didn't see that story and was disappointed. I'm glad they are not avoiding this story considering they know both parties.

Greg is going to interview Andy Serkis tomorrow. That's really cool.

Wow, that's a fun get.
Someone replied that he needs to be asked whether Clerks is better than LotR hahaha.
Greg's dismissal of the micro-transaction issue is getting me really frustrated. The point isn't that you can still unlock things in gameplay - it's the perception change you get when you offer the product for sale. It devalues gameplay and actually ruins the sense of reward. These discussions are frustrating because these people have the power to influence the industry in positive ways, and instead they are taking the devil's advocate side of understanding "they need to make money" which does not help the cause of the consumers who are viewing their content.
Edit: I wrote this a few hours ago because I was feeling very annoyed listening to the podcast. I unsubscribed from the podcast since then, but thought my posted was too inflamed so edited out that bit.

Just wanted to say how great of addition Andrea Rene has been. The fact that they have someone who says "I have an obligation to play other games" and does is something they really needed.
Agreed. I love her so much.
That's a fair opinion, but keep in mind that different people have a different idea of what devalues gameplay. Like I happen to think trophies are gross, and it's boring to me whenever a story about them comes up.
Of course. And even on this subject they are entitled to feeling the way they do. I just thought sounding my discontent with the situation was worth it for the discussion. Personally I will take a break from their content just because this topic gets me worked up and some topics just don't deserve a devil's advocate. I'll come back eventually as they are all good people and the podcast is fun.
Andrea and Andy have been great additions, along with their guests and other co-hosts like Gary and Danny. It can't be stated enough how much their content improved with the Dailies and Gamescast restructure.
Oh it's absolutely worth it to sound your discontent. As long as nobody's being cruel about it, and people are arguing in good faith.
Yeah. She was on Always Open a few weeks ago though and she's recently ish started game streaming, so it's not unfamiliar territory for her.

Don"t forget to vote for Andrea Rene for trending gamer, edit: Steven Spohn is in this for AbleGamers? He does some bloody brilliant work.

Loved Andrea and Gary hosting KFGD, Gary is really turning into a great addition he really does not pull his punches also Congrats to Andrea on the trending Gamer Nod, let show our might and get this for her, Steven Spohn is a great shout too but need to focus our votes, hope she is writing her speak though act to follow after Gregs speach, also hopes she thanks Greg last to keep the joke going lol
I hope I got something started here. If you didn't know, Abby is one of the newer hires at Giant Bomb. She has some really funny back and forths with Greg and Gen on Twitter. She'll be in SF for GB's GOTY's in mere weeks. I asked if she (along with Dan Ryckert) will stop by KF. Well, the Kinda Funny account responded with this:
(Dan Ryckert liked their response)
Edit- This is probably my most popular tweet ever. So many notifications!
