Why does he wear the mask!?
They do, it doesn't make it any less annoying though
Glad Sony was not dumb enough to risk this at launch.

I thought this thread would be bumped because of the Twitter heat going on between Colin and @bobservo right now.

I like both Bob Servo and Colin. Sad to see them having beef.

Who's Bob Servo?

From Retronauts.
Challenging someone to a random debate and claiming they have no balls which leads to his followers harassing Bob is worse.
For one thing it's going to go to charity. And second any extra chash they have left after supporting the show is theirs and can do whatever they want with it.
Lol.

That seemed to be in response to this

not exactly a respectful declination you know?
I've been off twitter all day, but I'm confused to what prompted Colin's original tweet. Lady Gaga is fairly progressive and protested Trump - why are the "far left" trying to censor her?
He's whining about the Berkeley riots still.

Colin went off on all the kids at Cal who protested the Nazi's that came to speak on their campus. I believe he reflects that act as an act from the "far left"

Lol, the Moriarty defense force in that thread.
It's crazy how much people stand up for that dude.
His response is pretty much expected though.
He just really thinks Milo is worth hearing out... and doesn't understand free speech.

I think it is laughable that people try to defend this guys actions when he acts like like this both on and off the channel.
He behaves like a child.

It's kinda creepy honestly...actually really creepy lol. Twitter and Facebook minions all eating it up. Now Greg has chimed in and Colin has called him a coward. Alrighty.

Agreed on both points...this week has really soured them quite a lot in my eyes. Can do without...
What a fucking tool. Such a fucking tool lol. Someone in the fucking games media business throwing around celebrity status? Lol that's delusion of the highest order
Writing off a great game like Abzu like that is fucking embarassing.
Really sad that this is the #1 PS podcast. The brand deserves better.
Yeah. I usually defend Colin, because I do think that he gets a lot of undeserved hate, but he should've just ignored that guy's bullshit instead replying, let alone replying with that.
I came close to dropping Kinda Funny after Colin said people who enjoyed TLG and FFXV are playing mental gymnastics to convince themselves that the games are better than they actually are. But man his ego is quickly becoming the stuff of legend.
Agreed. With that logic we should write off Bloodstained because "we already have Castlevania" or Detroit because "we already have Heavy Rain." It's okay not to like a game, you don't need to create such arbitrary excuses.

Check out Greg's recent videos on Twitter. That kinda stuff can go to your head. (not a shot at greg)

The guy has been getting hate left right and centre all week. If I was in his position, I don't think I'd be able to hold my tongue. Good on him for not letting the shitheads get him down.
Man, what I would do for a EZA bloodworth v KF Moriarty debate.
Or debates with gaming personalities in general.
Lol, now Colin is heckling the dude, telling him to come have a public debate.
But Colin doesn't debate on normal human terms, and he doesn't accept when he's been beaten. Colin only debates on Colin terms, which means he harps on technicalities and minute irrelevant details until the opponent just gives up. Case in point:

I respectfully disagree. I'd never heard of the guy either before venturing in to this thread and seeing the hubbub. The guy is small time and is being antagonistic for attention. Look at his twitter feed. Colin was right to give as good as he got imo.
The political shitstorm that has been going on the last few months has really soured me on some people, not about who they support or their political views but how they go about them, how they present their arguments and the attitude towards others.
I don't always agree with Colin and I always like hearing different opinions I try to go out of my way so im not in a bubble that pats me on the back for agreeing with them, hell Colin Was Right is my favorite thing on Kinda Funny.

I'm not defending Colin in the slightest, just some amateur analysing but I get the impression that he doesn't want to be too political at all times on twitter, so when something really sticks in his craw (such as the world getting too PC) he can't resist posting so that means his political rantings end up being his most polarising viewpoints. Take the miniscule riots at the Trump inauguration for example, he tweets about that, long Facebook post about positive, non-violent protects, next day we get the women's march which was exactly what he supposedly wanted and he goes radio silent. The guy can say pretty objectionable things on podcasts but he's a million times worse on twitter, any nuance he has just completely falls from the wayside.
Anyway again, not defending, just trying to figure out why he's so awful on twitter.

Wow. Bob's been a huge part of Retronauts for years, which is a much better podcast than anything KF does these days. it's a shame to see Colin behave like that.
You have to wonder what the other KF people think when they watch him go off like this. It might not be damaging to the brand, but it certainly doesn't do any favors to a community that refers to its members as "best friends". I'd have to imagine that, on more than one occasion they just think to themselves "dude, shut the fuck up..."

Why isn't it a shame to see Bob behave like that? He did create this shitstorm, lest we forget.

You should watch the last couple Kinda Funny Morning Shows were Colin and Nick are hosting. Colin makes some fairly polarizing points, and Nick doesn't look like he knows what the hell to do lmao.
I'm curious as well. I know they have a business model centered a small but insanely loyal audience that worships the ground they walk on but stuff like this is... How to put it... Dangerous? It turns off potential new viewers which hurts their room for growth. Now that isn't an issue, at least for now. However if the bottom ever falls out and they begin losing Patreon subscribers, things could get very ugly for Kinda Funny very quickly given their near nonexistent effort to expand their audience. Colin's Twitter antics and abrasive arguments and attitudes seem to be a major contributor to people's departures.
I pretty much agree with this. There is definitely a side to Colin that I like, and I don't care whether I agree with the substance of his opinions. It's just the way he carries himself that is so scattershot. Sometimes he does a good job presenting his argument and I can see his point of view, and other times he is so fundamentally illogical in his message and abrasive in his presentation, it's just unbearable. Maybe he thinks he's being a "master troll" or something, but it's just the worst.
If I disagree with you, but you are respectful and logical in the way you present your argument, then we are all good. That's just not Colin.
Kinda like attacking someone for having only 8k twitter followers

Nowhere near as personal.
Judging someone's work is by definition not personal.
