Support NeoGAF

[EdReedFan20]

They already have perks for patreon backers.

Yeah, I guess that is their premium content.

Edit- Apparently all that mayo wrecked Xavier's stomach and he had to use their bathroom before he left. And he has to wrestle tonight. ARE YOU HAPPY DAN!?!? Yes, you probably are.

 

[Myggen]

Yeah, with the YT stuff, they have sponsors like Lootcrate and Crunchy Roll. That's not unlike the non-premium Bombcast having SquareSpace. I wouldn't be surprised if KF one day gets a full on premium section like GB. I think GB are masters at making the non-premium ads entertaining. I mean, it gave us this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lZaO5PtfuA

In some ways their Patreon tiers are already hiding some content, at least for a time, in the same way GB's Premium membership does. GB just does it a lot more cleanly, and it's easier to understand what you get for what price than KF. KF's Patreon model with two separate Patreon's is a bit of a mess to me, but they're getting a lot of money from it so go with god.

I much prefer GB's model though. $50 a year and you get everything, and with no ads. I do understand that GB is probably an edge case though, and running your own service is expensive. I believe I remember Jeff saying that if he was trying to start GB today he would probably turn to one of the crowdsourcing platforms.

How somebody willing watches those Kinda Funny streams every day is mind boggling to me. All they do is just read off other websites articles.

How is that any different then twit or technewstoday or any other daily web show like on engaget.

Also its the ONLY daily live video game story news show with great host and fun to watch on the internet right now.
Fantastic concept that folks really want to support.

I forgot to cancel my Crunchyroll account again and it charged me for another month today. I watched no anime during my July month. This is what it feels like to be a member of EA Access.

On behalf of Anti-Anime, fuck you for funding anime.

I like mayo and sour cream. I'm the Guy Fieri of white condiments.

Nah, you're just normal everyone else is just broken.

So, I'm watching the Deadly Premonition ER, and Vinny finding that infinite ammo SMG is pretty much like Drew modding the M4 in MGS4, isn't it?

I really enjoy the no ads part of the Patreons I support and of GB. And the API/apps and video downloads.

I like mayo and sour cream and mustard (yellow only) and ketchup. And on a home made cold-cut deli style sandwich, I will blend mayo and mustard, essentially making it one condiment.

he could find all of the infinite whatevers he wants, he never gets the radio : /

 

[Zaph]

Yeah, that's just how Twitch works and why I've moved away from Twitch streams more and more. You gotta do what you gotta do, but it gets to be a bit much.

I actually like the Kinda Funny guys, but I rarely watch the Twitch streams because of that and stick to the YT stuff.

Thankfully there are the odd exceptions. One of Twitch's most popular streamers (who I watch when I like to kid myself that one day I'll get good at Hearthstone) has none of that shit on screen. He accepts donations but doesn't address them, and just gives people a quick shout out if they sub. He seems to be doing very well for himself (apparently just bought a house outright), so it does seem possible to earn a good living tastefully as a streamer.


Not sure about the rest of the crew, but Greg is always great. Only guy in the enthusiast press industry who's anywhere close to Jeff when it comes to mic skills.

I like ranch.

 

[EdReedFan20]

I like ranch.

Forgot about ranch. I like that too! According to Consumer's Report, the best ranch is actually Wal-Mart's generic brand. I've tried it. It's actually really, really good. Who knew?

thought you guys would appreciate this, from the Kotaku Rare Replay review:

Fun fact: thanks to this collection, there are now more Nintendo 64 classics available to play on Xbox One than there are on the “virtual console” service on Nintendo’s own Wii U console. Shameful, Nintendo. Shameful.

damn, they ether'd the fuck out of nintendo with them facts

You should watch Gintama to make that bad feeling go away.

I have no idea how Giant Bomb pulled it off. However, I've never felt that I wasn't getting my $50 worth out of the site. I'm sure if they had to re-re-launch with a Patreon or a Kickstarter, I would be there on day one.

I did that a couple of months ago. I fell for the "come back for a free month" deal, never watched any anime, then got charged for the next month because I forgot about it.

that's a bad hair cut

Aw. That's not nice.

Looks like they are doing a Microsoft conference stream tomorrow.

 

[robotrock]

We Talk Over Microsoft's Gamescom Press Conference

I'm excited and I'm also late!

Probably an East Coast joint. Or maybe Dan just sitting there by himself talking over the conference

It's what we get for Europeans having to deal with the E3 conference times. :c

 

[robotrock]

Is it just gonna be Jeff/Brad/Drew?

Edit: Had not actually considered the possibility of it being an East Coast show. Cool.

I doubt it'd be West Coast since Dan/Jason are going to RAW

I just have to avoid the news until the archive goes up. Yay!

Well, I would be surprised if it was. Can't imagine Jeff beginning his commute at 5am for this. GBEast with Dan Skyping in, you heard it here first.

The chances of them wanting to do a stream at 7 in the morning is about 1%.

I wanna watch the gamescom show live, but damn that's too early for me.

I'm still following it. Close to 700 episodes in and I'm too invested to back out now

 

[robotrock]

There's no way it's West coast if Dan and Jason are going to RAW the night before. No way

 

[Myggen]

The Gamescom stream is on at 3:30pm here. If I'm at work 7am I'll make it.

There's no way it's West coast if Dan and Jason are going to RAW the night before. No way

Oh, I thought RAW was tomorrow for some reason. Yeah, you're right.
