Support NeoGAF

[BrightLightLava]

Wtf man that's too much over a throw away tongue in cheek joke? People have lost thier minds of late.

That's a symptom, not the cause.

It seems like he's gotten further and further away personality wise from Greg and the others, and his reaction to the joke (not so much the joke itself, which was just a dumb hacky joke) probably put too much stress on the company.

Their whole business can only exist with fan support, and if you have one of the key members of the team calling their fans "humorless sacks of shit" that's going to cause problems.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

He is probably going full into political commentary now.


Being on that Ruben show was a trial balloon.

 

[mattwhite924]

Can't say I'm surprised.

I'd stopped listening to KF stuff a few months ago due to Colin, I just couldn't enjoy his personality. He doesn't seem like the same person he did back in his TRL or Beyond days.
I guess I should give the KF stuff a try again. I'm curious to see who takes his place in PSILY. I like Tim, but I don't know if he fits a PS podcast.

As much as I don't like Colin's attitude lately, and I don't really approve of his behavior, I do wish him the best. He genuinely has seemed depressed for a while, so I hope maybe he finds happiness. Who knows, maybe once he's happy with himself then he can view the world a bit different.

 

[AkelisRain]

I am going to miss him.

 

[TheDragon]

I may check KF out more now. This change is certainly to my taste. And according to Colin, this has nothing to do with the lame joke he made, so nobody needs to feel bad for him as he took the decision himself.

 

[G0523]

Wow that was sudden. I was just wondering about him last night in the JonTron alt-right thread and now this. Things sure do move fast nowadays.

 

[sasliquid]

You guys do know that Colin is a gaffer and is likely reading all of this shit, right?

I care as much as Colin cares about the feelings of women and minorities he upsets

Spoiler

i don't

 

[simatron3000]

Going into politics I assume.

He won't be missed on the gaming front

Speak for yourself. I always liked his opinions, it's good to listen to people you don't always or sometimes never agree with, gives you a better perspective.

 

[Apathy]

Wow, they actually canned him huh?

No no, he "resigned" after talking to the other guys and after he just happen to talk to Glen Beck

 

[miller.skippins]

Colin reminds me of Marcus Beer back from the GT days....always pissed off about something...and rambling about...........stuff...

 

[Ninja Scooter]

You guys do know that Colin is a gaffer and is likely reading all of this shit, right?

Should we make this a safe space for him?

 

[DNAbro]

You guys do know that Colin is a gaffer and is likely reading all of this shit, right?

Well he knows how a lot of people feel about him already so nothing should be shocking.

 

[Nibel]

Ah. Peace and quiet.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Is Breitbart looking for a gaming editor?

Actually they are looking for a tech editor after their guys resigned after coming down with a strange case of pedophilia.

 

[newbong95]

recently geoff joined and now colin resigns ....

Spoiler

the dorito effect ...

 

[Kyoufu]

Well this is very surprising.

No it's not. He was attracting the wrong kind of attention from the wrong kind of people and effectively dividing the Kinda Funny community as well as receiving criticism from others in the games industry. This was coming.

 

[MadLaughter]

I don't agree with the dumb joke he made, but that's all it was. A dumb joke. I loved the back-and-forth between him and Greg. I don't agree with everything he says, but to see this happen over nothing more than an eye-rolling tweet is sad.

It started with that, but he really didn't help himself by calling a ton of people 'humorless shitbags' (or whatever it was), undermining Greg's damage control attempts, and doing nothing to curb the tidal wave of alt-right shitheads attacking Greg/Tim/Altano.

Guy's got a pattern of selfish, arrogant behavior and the joke was just the last little nudge that pushed everything over the edge.

 

[Morts]

Politics 100% aside, his alternating stubbornness and disinterest in their gaming podcasts got me to stop listening. I we see what happens with PS I Love You now.

 

[Ocelott]

I really hope Tim steps up but I think they need another body.

 

[diaspora]

No no, he "resigned" after talking to the other guys and after he just happen to talk to Glen Beck

Isn't Beck a proponent of BLM?

 

[firehawk12]

Breitbart is pulling a Vice and starting a games website?

 

[Servbot24]

Man, Colin is really a polarizing person for me. I think he's great on podcasts and he seems like the kind of guy who would be cool to know personally. On the other hand some of his views are so frustratingly illogical and short-sighted.

At any rate I wish him the best.

 

[Stealthcobra]

You guys do know that Colin is a gaffer and is likely reading all of this shit, right?

So?

 

[Holundrian]

Nice I can listen to kinda funny again. He really created a super toxic atmosphere be it involuntary or not. The people that flocked to him in the recent shitstorm are fucking scary. Made me quit KF entirely but maybe I can come back now and they actually create this welcoming and positive community like they set out.

Also not a Colin hater I enjoyed his other perspective many times especially during the beyond years but the recent month the guy just displayed less and less empathy publicly and it became unbearable.

 

[Nairume]

You guys do know that Colin is a gaffer and is likely reading all of this shit, right?

He already said he thinks gaf is an echo chamber.

 

[mlclmtckr]

You guys do know that Colin is a gaffer and is likely reading all of this shit, right?

Oh shit, I take it back, his political opinions aren't stupid and wrong after all. I thought he was just uninformed and intellectually lazy but now that I know he's a gaffer I guess he's a cool dude.

 

[Kilau]

Good luck Colin, I've been following you and Greg since podcast beyond. Interested to see what he does next and what KF does also.

 

[Matush]

RIP KF I guess.

PSILY XOXO was one of the main reasons many people subbed and supported them, I cant see Greg and Tim being able to continue with as much support now. Watch their Patreon numbers go down.

Best of luck to all of them.

 

[Pryce]

I'm happy for the other three + Kevin.

 

[Bgamer90]

I don't agree with the dumb joke he made, but that's all it was. A dumb joke. I loved the back-and-forth between him and Greg. I don't agree with everything he says, but to see this happen over nothing more than an eye-rolling tweet is sad.

I think it was far more than just the tweet. I definitely believe that it was a build-up as well as stuff we may not know about.

 

[DarkConfidant]

Which cabinet position is he taking?

"Opportunities are already popping up for me"

Hm…it all makes sense now.

Spoiler

Maybe he’s getting a talk radio show gig?

 

[phanphare]

Man, besides Greg the other guys left are just not entertaining or interesting to hear.

Nick and Tim are the best part of Kinda Funny

Was there a big backlash or something? Been too busy playing Zelda, but it can't just be that...

Yikes.

 

[RodzTF]

RIP Kinda Funny's greatest content, Colin & Nick Live

 

[Tank Jr.]

Colin WASN'T Right.

 

[MadMod]

So I found Kinda Funny last week, watched all of Colins video's and conversations. Loved how in-depth they were and now he's leaving?! Brill... Just when I was getting started and began to enjoy/understand his views on everything he's leaving? Hope he carries on his videos in some way. But I guess he may go the Final Bosman route.

 

[shira]

It's time for your boy Tim to shine

Eh, dude is a nice host but he's no Colin replacement.

 

[Primethius]

Which cabinet position is he taking?

God damn.

 

[meanspartan]

While I don't think he handled this particular situation well, I am very sad to see him go as a long time fan from the Beyond days. Bummer.

 

[Ray Down]

is his twitter handle "Notaxation"? Dear god. Nothing else needs to be said.

Worse is I'm pretty sure hes a Randian.

 

[Eleuin]

You guys do know that Colin is a gaffer and is likely reading all of this shit, right?

as long as his mom and gf don't have accounts I think we're fine

 

[GravityInsanity]

Ah. Peace and quiet.

 

[RoKKeR]

Holy shit.

 

[Kaizer]

Ah. Peace and quiet.

DEAD

 

[Icolin]

Good luck Colin, I've been following you and Greg since podcast beyond. Interested to see what he does next and what KF does also.

I'm in this boat as well.

I'll continue to support KF, but man... I can't believe there's gonna be no more Colin and Greg.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Tim's time to shine, he has been the best part about KF's gaming side lately, will miss Colin though.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

https://twitter.com/notaxation/status/839542070050115584

What an absolute idiot. I accepted his different views and still enjoyed his commentary. Guess he was just always holding back shit like this and didn't feel like it anymore.

 

[Real_Madrid]

Wasn't this rather predictable? It seems like a difficult person to work with, especially for a small group of people that KF was/is.

That said, I like Colin and his view on gaming, I agree with him on a lot of things. He has weird political views, but I don't care about that. I listen for his opinion about gaming.
So it's pretty safe to say I'm anxiously waiting to see what he's doing next (about gaming).

Kinda Funny is fine without him, Greg alone will attract enough people to their channel and without Colin they can also do more conventions etc. It always seemed like Colin was the one who was holding them back for such things.

 

[aGuyInaBearSuit]

Dude always rubbed me the wrong way, going back to the IGN days. Always had an air of self-importance and when he spoke about games, I always felt like he did so with the angle of "I need to prove why I'm right about this and why people who disagree are objectively wrong." His recent behavior was just icing on the cake.
