Kinda funny gaming
2 of those guys are more behind the scenes guys but the other 2 are big names with IGN. This is a big shakeup for them.

I feel like up until the early 00's, the IGN crew did have some writing and journalistic integrity.

Once these two jokers started mugging it up at conferences and podcasts it was a completely different show.


It reminded me a lot of watching TechTV turn into G4TV.

I think Colin is a great writer, Greg is more of a host. I liked them on Beyond more than anything.

best review guy they had. annoyingly nerdy, but his reviews are spot on

Kinda Funny Games isn’t going to break the news or get exclusive reviews. We’re here to interpret games with you. Colin and Greg Live is about having you on the show via Twitch chat and covering everything from comics to TV to games to movies.


I would like to think they made a huge fricking mistake; however, people love watching "let's play" videos so who the frick knows...disappointing because I lost my most trusted reviewer of games

I wish anyone, except my competitors, the best of luck.


hope it's a huge success, disappointing that the trailer rewinds and "let's play" is what people want...because miller for sure did an excellent job reviewing, and if he (or anyone at IGN, and that still holds true) give a game over a 9.0...it's a definite buy if I have the time and interest.

Well they want to get into conversations about games like their podcast was on IGN, except without being censored as much. They won't be doing formal reviews with a score or anything. If you really trust Greg for his opinions, just follow him on these videos.

I'm pretty sure in a video he will go into it more than that

eta: Greg hasn't done reviews for a while now by the way.

What a rip off that is to pay people to make Youtube videos that they are also going to get ad revenue from.

IGN no doubt went the way of a media company more than anything, much like ESPN has done. You have to just take it for what it is.
