I occasionally find myself getting frustrated that the missed something really obvious, but that's half the fun of it. I wouldn't want them to actually be good at the game!
The only moments I get frustrated is when Brad isn't doing something super obvious that Dan is telling him to do. Like just dropping the gun in that alley. Or standing at the door when Dan is telling him to move.
But them failing to play the game properly is why the series is fun so the rest doesn't bother me. It's what makes it special.

Why is half of this not on my schedule? What kind of conspiracy is this?

The whole point is that they're fairly bad at the game.
They've added more stuff to the schedule since then, so some of that has been pushed off. The schedule on the site only displays 5 things at a time. The Hitman thing etc. will start to show up as the content today drops. If you want to have the entire schedule I recommend the Chrome extension Live Bomb.
that doesn't stop it hurting!

At work right now and needing that GBeastcast real badly about now! Usually takes a few minutes after the top of the hour for the feed's to get updated?
Still no Total Warhammer I bet.
About that or less. It's inconsistent.

But does the hurt feel good?
i'm invoking my right to not talk about hurt feeling good
Welp, this calls for a playdate: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/06/03/stellaris-kerbal-space-mod/
Vinny would figure out a way to explode the galaxy.
Did not know that. But it makes sense. An option to view the entire schedule would be nice since I don't use Chrome.
It's the best kind of hurt.
scruffy vinny is best vinny

why doesn't the Premium cast go up at the same time ;_;
I ask that myself every damn week.
Listened to the Kinda Funny thing with Jeff. It was good.
I think Kinda Funny in general is not for me though. The angle of "WE'RE CONSUMERS! WE CONSUME THINGS! CONSUMERISM HO! WE IDENTIFY WITH CORPORATIONS ON A PERSONAL LEVEL!" is pervasive in game culture in general, but they really embrace that to an extent that actually kind of rubs me the wrong way.
Dunno.
More power to them though. They're clearly good people and successful in what they do.

If you are covering games, yeah absolutely.
Well, Greg is like the biggest PS fanboy on that show
Sure but Colin and the guy who looks like this guy from the side
Chimed in on it, agreein pretty much that fuck those nerds, then two weeks later they were sponsored by Total War Warhammer.
(I'm sure it was mostly a joke, but still, they haven't done any PC stuff)
I tried to give Kinda Funny a chance but I just can't stand Colin. His whole attitude is annoying as hell even if he is a smart dude. Greg is a cool guy and the other dude most of the time doesn't say anything interesting.
And yeah, the whole "brands!" aspect of it is something I don't identify with. They have an entire podcast dedicated to Playstation for some reason. That says it all for me.
So they are neither funny or particularly insightful (except for Colin) and I don't identify with their attitude towards video-games. Terrible combination.

Exactly. I play all kinds of stuff myself, so I also want to see a wide variety of stuff covered. I want everything from big AAA to obscure Indie being covered. As long as it's interesting/fun show it to me.
I think it's hilarious that they basically benny-hill their way through it and somehow succeed.
People complaining about how other people play games is basically becoming a cancer to 'lets play'-type videos. Why would you sit down and watch an hour long video, when you should know exactly what to expect by now, and go on a big rant about how they aren't play up to your standards?
I don't get it. Just go play it yourself the 'right way'?

It seems silly to have an affinity for any one platform in particular (especially if you're in journalism, but I guess Kinda Funny is more enthusiast than press). If you're that about video games, you go to where the games are.

Them talking over the conferences and then the podcasts are always a great time.

I'm looking forward to hearing the song that shall not be named.
are you sure about that
Well, except for Jeff obviously. He hates video-games.
Yup, I want to see everything interesting no matter the platform. Giant Bomb is fantastic with that. Even if I won't play everything GB has me covered.
Hell, GBEast with that Contradiction game was a great example of that. They played and covered the game in a fantastic way that I doubt many websites would. And they genuinely liked the game.
Yeah, I can't relate to that at all. I don't have a gaming PC because money but I have like 100 games on Steam that run on whatever PC I have. If a game is good I couldn't care less about the platform it is on. Separating things based on the hardware they run on is just weird to me. Games should be focus.
