[karasu]

He has the most video game knowledge and actually knows what he's talking about when it comes to the industry. Greg is a big fake. Who comes off as fake. Tim is just tim really young dude who likes talking about video games.

Colin actually has ton's of knowledge on the industry and many contacts.

That's bullshit. That is complete bullshit. Greg was at IGN right beside Colin and everyone else. The guy has contacts and uses them all of the time. We saw him having dinner with Shu and hanging out with Kojima, etc. He's hosting shows, guesting on other shows(and has been for ages), doing all of the live events with huge turnouts. What are you talking about?

 

[Joni]

Simply voting for Brexit isn't enough for me to class someone as racist, and that is from a remain voter and someone trying desperately to get Scotland back in the EU. This tips into the collectivism I am not fond of. Many voters to leave the EU might be racist, but everyone of them? Nah. I'd need to see a lot more damning evidence of Cleese to feel comfortable just calling him a racist.

His opinions on Scots is sick.

'Why do we let half-educated tenement Scots run our English press?Because their craving for social status makes them obedient retainers?'

His opinion on migration mirrors all right-wing talking points.

I would have thought that limiting immigration more effectively would reduce competition for work and protect jobs.

And he doesn't like what happened to London, as there aren't enough English people.

'I'm not sure what's going on in Britain. Or, let me say this – I don't know what's going on in London, because London is no longer an English city.

'I mean, I love having different cultures around. But when the parent culture kind of dissipates, you're left thinking, "Well, what's going on?"'

And just being an ass old guy as the following was not a joke.

It should give up the Euro, introduce accountability,and hang Jean-Claude Juncker

For a self-proclaimed liberal left-winger he sure like giving Farage talking points. And for all his Trump talk, he is launching similar statements on Britain.

Go ahead and watch him try and have a conversation with a gaming figure. Then go watch one with colin.

It shows the difference in Knowledge about the industry. Colin brings facts and sometimes numbers Greg brings, nothing but generic questions.


I'v seen both at panals, Greg is the funny show talker, colin is the one dropping knowledge. And greg has no clue when it comes to technical thing's, colin does.

 

[Lime]

What's N'gai doing these days? Not heard from him in a while.

Mock reviews for game pubs and devs last I heard

 

[Peltz]

Not really. If that were the case Colin was right wouldn't have had the types of people on it that it did.

Greg may be the face of Kinda Funny, but colin is the reason you actually listen. Say what you want about his views on politics and what not but his views and knowledge about teh industry makes Greg look like a big fake when they talk video games.

Nah.. If I watch KFG it's because Greg is genuinely fun to listen to. Not for knowledge.

 

[fastmower]

"there are so many people that play video games, so many people that enjoy entertainment that don't have anyone speaking for them".

Man, fuck this guy. This might be the bit that's made me most irate in this saga.

I mean this WHOLE THING started because he couldn't hold back with his hot take on International Women's Day; a day when the industry is trying to make things more hospitable for women.

Cause lord knows most of the games media, the games development industry, and the games community ain't always the best to women. At best they're subject to the same kind of marginalization, pay inequality and discrimination in any other industry, at worst they're getting death and rape threats, being doxxed, having their sexual history plastered over the internet, having the places they try to speak up subject to bomb threats. Usually because they dared make a video about Mario or some fucking troglodyte thinks there's a grand conspiracy involving non-existent reviews and sexual favours.

And so a day comes along when its time to try, as a society and as an industry, to make things less fucked up for women in a field that honestly I'm surprised any of them still have the patience or tolerance for but nonononono Colin's gotta get in there with his sick burn to validate the unvoiced, much neglected voice of the straight white male who just wants to say hahahaha aren't chicks kind of noisy and/or annoying.

Fuck. That.

No Colin, pieces of shit like you already have a voice in the industry. It is deafening. That is the problem. You couldn't even go one day without being the centre of attention.

Thank you.

 

[GodParticle]

I might actually watch some of their content now that he's gone. He always came off as a smug asshole to me =/

 

[APF]

Just look PewDiePie who got target by WSJ few weeks back. Resulted that he lost a few contracts because bad taste of jokes.

One of the responsibilities of the press is to hold public figures accountable. PDP is the most followed person on an enormous platform that competes with TV and movies. He had deals with Disney, his fanbase is likely hugely-proportioned of children, and both his sponsors/partners and his fans' parents deserve to know that he "happens" to have a habit of making anti-semitic jokes and using Nazi imagery. The idea that informing the public about this sort of stuff is somehow wrong or remotely controversial is mindblowing to me. Youtube isn't some scary underground network that only elite hackers know about. It's literally as mainstream as it comes. If *any* TV star began making anti-semitic jokes, you will hear about it. No one is treating him unfairly, it's actually the public starting to take venues like Youtube seriously.

I think you're confused by Colin's more extensive vocabulary or something. he says fuck all."if you like this you're just wrong. period."

 

[bananafactory]

Y'all are crazy if you think Colin is the main draw

He has a very large and vocal audience but Greg is Kinda Funny

The channel literally started as Greg's channel (GameOverGreggy). The first content on it was Gregway which was just him talking into a shitty webcam for 10 minutes and people watched.

Colin built a platform there but it started and ends with Greg

 

[fastmower]

Moriarty supports the struggle of Black Americans, he just ridicules Colin Kaepernick for protesting

Moriarty supports women, he just makes sexist jokes on Women's Day

Moriarty supports diversity, he just only invite white men on his show

Moriarty cares about transpeople, he just complains about people protesting against professional harasser and transphobe

Moriarty cares about poor people, he just doesn't support policies that benefit the poor

Moriarty cares about removing safe spaces, he just blocks anyone who legitimately criticize him

Moriarty cares about native Americans, he just complains about them for 10 minutes straight when they write something about cultural appropriation

Moriarty cares about polite discourse, he just calls oppressed people humorless sacks of shit when they voice their displeasure with his humor

For all the things that Colin Moriarty claims he is, and all the defenders, moderates and supporters who claim similarly, I've yet to see something that supports this narrative of being in support of oppressed people. His actions speak louder than whatever things he claim to support.

Bravo

 

[Papacheeks]

Nah.. If I watch KFG it's because Greg is genuinely fun to listen to. Not for knowledge.

Guess we watch for different reasons then. Greg rubbs me the wrong way because of how he comes off when I see him at panels. I listen to kinda funny for Colin's view on the industry because I could find 10+other loud people who are funny to listen to who talk about video games.

I think you're confused by Colin's more extensive vocabulary or something. he says fuck all."if you like this you're just wrong. period."

Have you watched recent Colin was right? There's a bunch of him talking about the industry and one that's him and Adam Boyes talking about PSN and indie game flood.

Guy can hold his own.

...what? So Colin had guests on his dedicated interview series? What does that have to do with anything. Go look at a list of past guests on GOG

Also I don't know how Greg is fake. That's such a weird narrative to push. Like if you're arguing that Colin is more knowledgable (which i'd argue) are you implying that everyone less knowledgable is a fake?

This post is weird af

What are you talking about? Do you even watch the shows? PS I Love You is basically Greg interviewing Colin every week for his take video games while Colin Was Right is easily their best content. Colin is more of a gaming scholar than Greg - Greg has admitted as much himself.

And greg comes off as a fake guy.

*Dropping knowledge* don't bring in views Greg is the one busting his ass going to panels and conventions while Colin stays holed up in his safe place, people thinking Colin is the main draw are fanboys, KF will survive and it will grow.

Greg is "interviewing" Colin cause he barely puts effort in the conversation, It has to feel like Colin is the main one of the show otherwise his ego won't flare up and actually engage in the conversation.

I've heard people say things similar to what you're saying time and time again. Please tell me some examples of when he's showed that he has some really insightful knowledge of the current video game industry or the history of video games. People in our own NPD thread have analyzed data far more than I've ever seen Colin do, including some people who later went on to become professional analysts. I've never heard anyone, whether it was on Beyond, KF, or PSILY offer anything that would lead me to believe they knew much about games history than the average GAF member; let's not even mention the human encyclopedias on Retronauts or someone like Shane Bettenhausen. I mean if anything they kind of prided themselves on having a pretty narrow taste for games (i.e. not playing the majority of Japanese games outside of the most notable ones).

I used to love Beyond because they were loud and funny and covered a console where I play games but I've never thought of listening to them to obtain any sort of knowledge. Anything insightful usually came from the guests that would appear like Shu, Scott Rhode, or people from the first party publishers.

So again please provide some sort of examples.

so because you and a friend saw him at PAX and formulated an opinion that invalidates *everything* he's done because the dude is objectively fake now

what a crazy narrative to push

 

[FLEABttn]

I thought thought NeoGaf stood for something else. People attacking him for writing a article in 2012 about criticizing the industry for self-censorship. There has been so many people who have fought against us and tried to censure video games inside and outside of the industry. And now some of us trying to portrait Colin as bad person for trying to debate this. It's okay to be provocative but using a opportunity like this against one of us is ugly. As a reminder he is a part of or community.

"And I'm glad you brought that up specifically because there are so many people that play video games, there are so many people that enjoy entertainment that don't have anyone speaking for them."

The "us gamers" mentality, where a form of entertainment is somehow above criticism and reproach and that doing either is tantamount to attacking the rights of an underserved minority, is completely asinine and infantile. This isn't some form of digital red lining; framing it as a community under fire who needs leaders to speak for the unspoken demonstrates an incredible lack of perspective. You consume games for entertainment, nothing more. If you feel your consumption creates an in-group this worthy of advocation, hit pause and talk to groups who need actual advocates.

I don't go to colin to learn things i already know, i'm saying his knowledge of the industry far exceeds gregs or anyone else at Kinda funny. And for some people who dont listen to giant bomb or other's that are super knowledgeable colin can hold his own. Like someone else noted maybe go watch some recent colin was right videos. Or go watch him talk about numbers in an older episode when talking about wii u or Dreamcast.

I listen to get his view since he's got similar gaming taste's and history as I do console wise. But seriously you can go google and watch some videos when he gets into heated arguments especially when talking about PS4K, Wii U, Vita.

so because you and a friend saw him at PAX and formulated an opinion that invalidates *everything* he's done because the dude is objectively fake now

what a crazy narrative to push

It's my opinion not a narrative, seriously go outside. I was just stating what me and my room mate who is a NEWS journalist thought of him when seeing him at panels. It's a more raw encounter one not prerecorded.

Seriously I'll see myself out since no one can have an opinion in here about kinda funny, or why the like/dislike colin as a video game commentator.

 

[Nanashrew]

I've never found Colin to be that knowledgeable to be honest. And his Colin Was Right show just proves that for me.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

People who think Colin always knows what he's talking about must not be Xbox fans whatsoever. My 9 year old nephew can navigate the Xbox One dashboard with ease, for example, yet this grown ass man makes mountains out of molehills by saying how complicated it is. And the funny thing? He doesn't even use his Xbox.. Him and Greg are both guilty of some unwarranted hate thrown towards Sony's competitors. It's messed up how they feel so compelled to throw shit at things they have little knowledge of.

Just listen to the latest Gamescast.. Listen to what Colin has to say about Zelda, putting off his opinion as objective fact. Shit is crazy man lol. Though at least with Greg it seems like he's more receptive to differing opinions.

Tim's just awesome and seems chill af. I enjoy their content and I don't even own a PS4 of my own yet either, but that hasn't stopped me from enjoying most of their content, including watching a majority of PSILY episodes.

Or go watch him talk about numbers in an older episode when talking about wii u or Dreamcast.

All of his videos are completely ignorant and just him making completely baseless assumptions that fit his worldview though. Like "Mobile gaming ruined AAA gaming." No actually, that's just late capitalism and rising development costs while game prices remain relatively static. Colin may SOUNDS knowledgeable because he speaks as someone with absolute authority. Never underestimate the power of a dude speaking without an ounce of self awareness or self doubt and no one around to challenge his views.

 

[vitalogy11]

So I listen to every Kinda Funny podcast (and many other outlets) and because of this I'm about 5 weeks behind current episodes of all my podcast.

It's almost surreal listening to the Games Cast or even PS XOXO and just hearing Colin either not saying much, just going through the motions, or just going on the same exact rants that he is current or just currently released on his latest Colin Was Right.

The only thing he really gets excited about is when he gets a chance to talk about his writing and how he is either writhing again or how he hates that it's not the focal point of games coverage anymore.

I maybe projecting, but it's pretty obvious he wants to write and was getting stale on doing multiple podcast and twitch streams a week. Combine that with him looking down the barrel of several live panels and KF3 live, I'm positive he had already made up his mind.

Mind you this 5 weeks before the tweet has happened. Just something to think about.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Colin was/is very good with gaming trivia-style knowledge, you know solid facts and figures IE: Developers and publishers and what they've worked on and when. Which makes sense as he was a history major which is largely knowing names, places, dates and significance. Though I did like listening to his speculation and opinions, he didn't really offer anything to a discussion that many of us here on GAF aren't capable of.

I think a lot of the appeal of listening to him is how quickly he can rattle off things and how definitively he makes his often controversial statements/opinions on games. He speaks like his opinions are facts which can be entertaining in the right scenario. Someone said in another thread that he's a lot like Skip Bayless. I can't believe I haven't heard that comparison before because it's perfect. A pretty knowledgeable but not encyclopedic dude who doesn't offer a whole lot of interesting insight but is compelling to listen to because of how forcefully he states his at times wild opinions.

 

[BlastProcessing]

I have read this thread I see the things many are pointing out and it doesn't look good.

Many things are taken from its context. The image that is projected here is not the image I have of him as a fan. He has been a public figure trough his professional career. He is not a huge star or political figure that have thought about what consequences the statements will have.

To be honest I'm kinda disappointed of some of the statements. I thought thought NeoGaf stood for something else. People attacking him for writing a article in 2012 about criticizing the industry for self-censorship. There has been so many people who have fought against us and tried to censure video games inside and outside of the industry. And now some of us trying to portrait Colin as bad person for trying to debate this. It's okay to be provocative but using a opportunity like this against one of us is ugly. As a reminder he is a part of or community.

"Us" is a powerful word, full of potential danger. You are throwing it around pretty recklessly here.

I think he was getting burned out on games coverage somewhat and was more interested in the political topics. I think that changing directions was on his mind for some time.

Anyway I hope he can prove people wrong about him and do well without the trolling.

I've been watching the gamescast for the last few days now, Colin has nothing to add. Latest video, "I can tell you from playing this game for a couple hours, in no way is it a 98", "if Splatoon was on Playstation no one would give a fuck about it!" lol, what a gaming scholar.

I'm sorry, but stop calling Greg fake. That's bs.

On point by just saying hypothetical examples and using his early opinions as objective fact?

That's some level of discourse I'd expect from just any old member on here, and they would be taken to task for it. I would hope a dude with a platform such as kinda funny games, and seemingly respected for his insight would be able to craft something more articulated than just a bunch of empty rhetoric.

He was talking about how people over rate Nintendo ideas because they were from Nintendo. I absolutely agree with him that if splatoon was a PlayStation game and if Zelda was a game on another system, it wouldn't be rated the same. He's 100% right.

Don't wanna de rail the thread about this though.

Am I crazy or would Colin be a perfect fit over at Vice/Waypoint?

They are focus on writing and journalism in games media.
They are openly political.

Oh but they are also very very much about being Liberal ....Maybe not then, but they are totally his style.

That's the last video with him as a KF member, right? Good riddance. Vile person.

I've been watching the gamescast for the last few days now, Colin has nothing to add. Latest video, "I can tell you from playing this game for a couple hours, in no way is it a 98", "if Splatoon was on Playstation no one would give a fuck about it!" lol, what a gaming scholar.

It's his opinion.

And do you think Splatoon would really get the same or more attention on ps4 or steam?

The platform something is released on exclusively does matter to how it's received and it's quality.

I actually think Colin is right about the last two Zelda console games. Twilight princess and skyward sword were way overrated in reviews and issues were overlooked. The same thing happens with other big franchises like halo 4, gears of War 4, killzone, , God of war, peace Walker, etc.

We will probably see it even with mass effect Andromeda where superfans of that series will rate it much higher and ignore the issues.

You're *CRAZY*

There is no way they would let even the shit he had done in the last week fly, especially with Austin as EIC

Has anyone from Waypoint mentioned it, I'd like to tweet at them, just not sure how to ask because I'm sure Colin wants to work for himself.

I just think it's interesting, they are both pretty similar, just happen to live on other sides of the fences. (or soon I should say Wall)
