You can feel all that love and respect just oozing through the easy allies fan base.

I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but I've been seeing that a lot recently. When I watched Easy Allies react to the Electronic Arts stream, a lot of commenters were blasting Greg for "betraying" Colin. I know there are many people who don't like Greg, but come on! There are those who hate Greg for his association with Colin and there are those who hate Greg for his disassociation with Colin. The latter was the right thing to do for Greg and KF, but there are people who seem like they'll never, for any reason, forgive Greg for the former, even though Greg was hardly the only prominent video game personality to be friends with and supportive of him (and some still are). It's like a no win situation. I'm glad he has a thick skin.
How is it a no win situation? Colin fans are cancerous toxic trash as they continuously prove. Disassociating with them was the win. This shit would be way worse except targeting towards all the people on the side of receiving abuse speaking out as it was before. Like what a pathetic life to not get over it.
Enjoyed the discussion between Tim, Greg, Brandon and Brad. Also had the impression everyone was a bit more rested than on other days.

To be honest, the whole narrative of Greg "betraying" Colin always seems so bizarre to me. People seem to forget that Colin wasn't fired or pushed out; he quit. And he didn't quit over a tweet or anything, he quit because the direction he wanted to take KF was not where the rest of them wanted to go. Not even politically, just in terms of what the company should be.
I don't know it just seemed like certain people always wanted to create this massive drama out of it which just wasn't there and it sucks that KF still have to deal with that 2+ years later.
I mean, Colin was going around interviewing basically saying he felt let down and hurt and betrayed by Greg and them for not standing up for him and now their friendship is over. It's a little more than just business disagreements.
Except is not the EZA fan base, it's Kinda Funny's lmao
Your hate boner for EZA is ridiculous, onto the ignore list you go!
I enjoyed Jared. This thread was constant Jared bashing when he was on though.
I don't think anyone would have minded Jared as much if Tim and/or Greg had even tried to reign him in a bit. Jared is great and insightful but his long winded and hyperbolic tangents got old when you heard them on a regular basis.
A major problem with their games coverage is everyone besides Andrea seems deathly afraid of anything resembling confrontation even if it's a "Okay we need to move on."

True, which was a shame tbh.
True, he could sometimes ramble, but I usually found those tangents interesting. Even if he got off-topic he always had something substantive to say.
Andrea is too confrontational if anything, she doesn't handle conflict well. And I say this as a big fan of hers and patreon supporter for WGG. She has a hard time admitting when she's wrong about something (which is hard for anyone, tbf, but sometimes the lengths to which she will double down are a little ridiculous). She's definitely not boring though!
Jared was a horrible fit for Kinda Funny. I enjoyed him on Beyond, but it's like they just gave him free rein at KF. I think it comes down to Tim's "hosting". He doesn't do a whole lot outside of just introducing the next segment/topic, which is why you get things like Jared going on massive tangents that overstay their welcome for minutes at a time. It's the job of the host to pull the show back into focus when that happens.
I actually liked Jared most of the time, but his verbose tangents just remind me of that guy everyone knows who likes the sound of their voice a little too much and brings group conversations to a grinding halt with their take-the-scenic-route stories.
Blows my mind seeing Greg and Tim on the EZA couch filming a Gamescast. Really hope this becomes a tradition. The day we get Miller X Bosman to actually happen will be a glorious moment of salty love and respect.
There was some weird comments made by Greg and Colin and Kyle Bosman about each other which were taken in the wrong way from both sides. Then there was something with David Jaffe bad mouthing Bosman onstage with Colin and Greg. I don't think Kyle has ever really commented on it but Greg did offer a heartfelt apology when he did that discussion with Jones at the old garage (last year?).
As usual the vocal minority have made it a way bigger thing than it actually is or ever was.
Well it's good that Whitta seems to be aware of what's happening (judging by his retweets), so hopefully he'll bring it up to the team if they've been living under a rock in regards to all of this. Greg should never mention Max's name again on the shows.
I don't think he has been mentioned since the initial allegations came out (over a year ago?)
Greg mentioned it in a reddit post when things first started going down and they've never brought him up on shows again afaik
I remember from following Anna Akana, a while ago (years before any of this stuff went down) she dated a guy who was friends with Max, and she was pretty open about not liking the guy. Or at least having problems with him
Probably was, yeah. Damn, time flies.
Either way, he's a prick.
Get the impression that they've known for a while about him since he hasn't been mentioned on any of their content for at least a year now.
Still it would be good of them to put out at least a tweet about it; he's been on their shows numerous times over the years.

Yooo what happened to the Max Landis post on the Kinda Funny subreddit? There were at least 30 replies this morning and it's been wiped.
He was first put in hot water a long time ago. That was pubicly known, and when they stopped mentioning him.
Greg made this post but this is the furthest capacity he's been mentioned since I believe. https://www.reddit.com/r/kindafunny/comments/7ljnyg/accusations_against_max_landis/dro1cgm/
This has been known for a very, very long time. Always thought he was a hack fraud living off daddy's clout, so I'm glad I never gave him the time of day.
Great to see Greg defending the all-digital future as some sort of utopia while at the same time episodes of Minecraft: Story Mode have to be put up onto storefronts again for $100 so people can download the things they bought in the first place.
That reddit post this morning had some valuable discussion in it that I was hoping one of the team would address, as that's generally the only place they really engage with the community. But it's seemingly been deleted and KF themselves are mods on there...
Somebody tallied up the E3 predictions on the subreddit (Tim won according to them), but god, seeing it written out just shows how hopelessly uninformed Fran was and how much of a joke Andy treated the episode as.
At least the dude came around through reflection although it's like ~2 years later? But good on him. But also it just reaffirms what type of fanbase the guy has.
I dont know how max Landis had fans in the first place. His work is awful, and he had that Joss Whedon syndrome of blaming his own shortcomings on others.
Nepotism is the only reason he has a career and the fact he is such garbage on top of that is just yikes.

No, obviously they don't, but it's a lot more fun when people actually play along with the game properly instead of making predictions like "Doug Bowser will wear a perfectly dark shirt."
His dad is not a great guy, either. Look up the Twilight Zone movie incident if you were not previously aware of it.
It looks like the OP deleted it, FYI. Probably because he was getting downvoted heavily in the comments for taking the stance that "KF supported a serial abuser"
I FEEL like the subreddit is terrible these days. Again I could be wrong, but that's the way it comes across to me. Maybe in the grand scheme of things it's ok, but it feels ehhhh.
