Cool, will miss XOXO but this sounds like a good alternative.

It's rare that I love everything about changes made to the content coming from a given outlet, but everything here sounds really great - *especially* that they've got Danny on board. I very much look forward to seeing everything getting off the ground in a couple of weeks!

A daily show seems a bit like overkill especially considering they're still doing the morning show but I like the KF crew and I hope they do well in the post-Colin era so I'll check it out.

Glad the Gamescast is one episode now, it was always too hard to watch on YouTube split into parts and released at different times.
The new daily games show sounds great. A little concerned about it been daily BUT it's one of those things in practice that might work out to be a GREAT idea.
Not too familiar with the new recruits but hope there's someone to fill the gap Colin left... i.e more of a serious/analytical/critical industry guy to play off the others more fun/playful personalities.
Excited about the changes. Great work everyone involved

Opinions. Opinions. Colin's shown himself to be an unpleasant person but his analysis on the industry is top notch.

Give NoClip a watch Danny is producing some of the best In-depth Interviews/Documentary's in gaming, his Doom one was amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS6SBnccxMA
I like Danny O'Dwyer (was subscribed to his individual Youtube channel already), and view pretty much any new content from the Kinda Funny team as positive anyway. Still miss Colin - political views aside - but can't win 'em all. Between KF, Giant Bomb, Easy Allies, etc., we're spoiled for choice.

I don't know, he was never able to put his personal opinions aside when discussing anything. Case in point the mobile games argument him and Andrea got into on the gamescast last year.

As a daily consumer of their content, all of this sounds amazing. As funny as the guys are, they needed a breath of fresh air into their output, and this seems to be the perfect solution to that. Seems like quite a lot of shows though, so hopefully the garbage truck on fire doesn't tip over.
Yes, and the cool one.
She's a bit of a blind fan girl for certain things but it's just a minor quibble.

Great, big fan of O'Dwyer
Colin was fucking clueless about the industry. Thankfully he longer covers it.

Not even close to being true but the new show will be interesting regardless. I'll watch it. I do wish Greg could be switched out too from time to time.

No PS centric show

I like it except the daily part. Even twice a week would have been better. The show will just devolve into nonsense. I wish I was still a patron to voice that but I'm sure the decision has already been made.

Some good gets here. They can wash the nasty taste of the blowhard who used to be there.

I don't really understand KF Games Daily being the evolution of PS I Love You XOXO.
PSILY was a spiritual sucessor to IGN's Podcast Beyond. A playstation-focused show that was more structured and took on the PS related news of that week. While this new show will have the same news-style segment and will be hosted by two people it doesn't feel like an evolution of the previous show the way Greg had set it up previously.
To me this feels like a show they already had planned and with Colin's exit and the death of their previous show they decided to sell it not only as a daily gaming podcast but also "The successor to PSILY" It's pretty clear this show exists because of them rebranding the Kinda Funny Morning Show and them wanting a gaming equivalent.
Basically I don't see how the successor to their Playstation Podcast is a Livestreamed Gaming News Podcast that's posted 5 times a week at half the length.
As for the show itself,
I have qualms about the show's format and how it's gonna get made. Livestreaming it will make the video quality take a hit in most areas. I also don't really see the point in streaming it. There's no focus on their donations and they usually field questions from their forums. I have to assume it's streamed live because it's easy to rip a vod from twitch and upload it so they can avoid the effort that comes from editing footage/audio, rendering and uploading. It also being daily and 45 minutes long doesn't seem great. Seems too short and it being daily is gonna lead to droughts when it comes to news which may become a problem.
That said it makes sense. They need to grow the KFG's brand and a daily gaming news podcast will do wonders for that. It'll be a more fresh and topical version of what the Gamescast is right now and it'll have some much needed fresh blood with Danny and Andrea joining in. While I roll my eyes at this being a continuation of the things Greg did with Beyond and PSILY I do have some excitement for this.
Here's hoping it a good listen/watch during the week.

I miss hearing Danny talk about games, will definitely watch his episodes.
I guess I might watch KF again; hope the format will be good
Why does this narrative exist
He is a GameFAQs poster with a mouth who sometimes reaches bottom-tier GAF poster levels when he has a good day, and I say that as someone who watched KF before shit hit the fan

Good for them! Sounds like they're making several great changes to their content. This is exactly what they needed after losing Colin. For the first time in awhile, I'm very excited for their future content.

Love Danny! Haven't really watched Andrea on anything I think. Well definitely watch and see how this goes.
