Apart from the odd visit, I doubt it. He moved to the other side of the country to raise a family.
So this is really cool:
I didn't follow GI or the podcast but I like that Greg is using KF to promote people who need it and helping out.
He's announced on Twitter that he's moving back soon.

lol I just saw it. I assumed it was just wishful thinking on lemonade's part.
He's really outspoken on Twitter which I think puts some people off. I don't mind it really but it can be come off as quite abrasive I suppose; he's very strongly opinionated and will call people out if they disagree with him but it's not that different from, say, Gary to be honest. He's also really left-leaning so those two things combined led to him getting James Gunn'd where people dug up some old racist tweets he made back when he was first starting out in the industry. There's some people on the KF reddit saying they wouldn't be comfortable with him being back on KF content for, I assume, that reason.
How long ago were those tweets? Because if we're talking like 2013, it's silly to assume he's still like that now, but if its relatively recent then fair enough
Danny is basically just left-leaning Colin, so for the same reasons I don't ever want Colin back I could do without ever having to see Danny again. Regardless of that, I'd much rather them bring in new voices rather than old ones.
I see people rag on Danny for being a shill, particularly Bethesda. Fact is, he is a well known huge Fallout fan. So it was no surprise he was invited to do the FO76 coverage. People called out his enjoyment of the game post-release, accusing him of being paid off. I also see people angry he was kind to Total Biscuit and had some friendly twitter conversations with Boogie.
In the months after he left KF Danny made some of the most unhinged and disturbing tweets I have seen from someone who I would otherwise wholeheartedly agree with politically. I couldn't believe some of the stuff I was seeing and it just made me personally see him as a complete fake in hindsight. I don't want to support him but you're all welcome to if it's that big of a deal. I shouldn't have posted in the first place because it's not like I watch their games content anyway anymore.
Couldn't really care less about the Bethesda docs, at least his bias was made apparent there which is important for anyone wishing to make any attempt at creating a decent and reliable documentary.
I agree I want new people. Excited to see Javy and Suriel next week - that I will 100% be tuning in for.

I can't remember exactly but it was a fair while ago, say 2010 or 2012, something like that. And Danny is definitely not the sort of person who would be writing stuff like that anymore I think.
Does this mean we're getting Tim, Greg, Fran, and Andrea, plus the GI crew on the Gamescast? If so, that sounds like a clusterfuck, but also a guarantee that some more games will get talked about! Last week's episode was a little better, but if Greg wasn't given a few preview opportunities it would have just been more of the same. I'm really hoping Imran becomes a Gamescast staple and is able to provide that much-needed variety.
So instead of Greg and co. we're just getting Imran and his crew? Super weird.
As a super fan of the GI podcast, I am so down for this reunion. Even if Greg and Tim aren't there
Haven't we had something like this before? When Jared was the only person around he brought in some IGN guys or something so it was basically none of the usual crew except Jared.
Same deal here; none of the usual crew except Imran for next week.

holy shit the 'Kevin Apology' Song is some god tier KF/AF stuff, I'm almost crying I'm laughing so hard.
Oh god, I'd buried the memories of that podcast so deep down that I'd completely forgotten about it. I may have actually fallen asleep during Jared's Gamescast with those gaming historian guys.
It'd be nice if Kinda Funny could actually communicate what the setup of Gamescast is going to be. For somebody who always talks about how communication is extremely important for a company, Greg sure does run a company that is god awful at it. Even letting people know about minor schedule changes is an issue for them.
I was driving and I had the video on as background noise and I literally looked like a maniac on the road lmao when it played. Them realizing Kevin wasn't even there after the fact was the icing on the cake.
To each their own, but I hated that Gamescast. IMO the lowest point of the "Jared-era". But then again I also hated the Critical Role GOG episode that everyone loves so it's probably just a me thing.
I listed two episodes I disliked, but sure go off, queen.
I'm not 'going off', just saying you tend to be negative here.
A trend that is definitely exclusive to me out of all the posters in this thread.

This just feels like it takes their brand in a direction they had avoided in the past. Yes they host game panels or reveal shows or whatever, but that feels different than an ongoing piece of content in which they're basically the mouthpiece for a huge, billion dollar publisher.
I don't know, I'm usually totally fine with the corporate gigs they do but this one just seems odd.
Greg hinted at this on one of the KFGD's this week. He mentions that these sorts of shows/events won't affect their reporting of news, but who knows for sure.
Well, I guess we can safely ignore their Borderlands 3 review then. I mean, how can you review it with a straight face after taking that gig? I don't know why they put themselves in such a position.
Don't worry, just tune into What's Good Games for Andrea Rene'$ completely objective review of the game!
