Do you have ears? He is not obnoxious all the time, but when he tries to be funny, you can tell he really tries, and it ends up being obnoxious instead. Then again, humor is different for everyone. So, I am sure some people think he is hilarious.

I believe I do, thank you. By your post you said "very obnoxious" not "obnoxious some of the time". That's the first thing. Second, that's strictly opinion based and none of the people like you that always say that can give an example.

Great show! Is this show replacing the KF Gamescast as well?
Click to expand...

In case no one answered this (I didn't see one), no this does not replace Gamescast. Gamescast will be same 4 topic breakdown but to be more relevant timing it will all release as one video instead of day by day.

The old format made some topics obsolete by the time they aired and this will resolve that. Will be nice to have balance of daily and long form shows to choose from.

I love the new content. By separating games daily from morning show they serve both serious game talk and shenannigans separately but equally. Morning show also delves deeper in to movie and comic book news since they don't cover game news.

Tim has gotten much better at discussing games and I really enjoyed his first GD show. Also was fun to watch their first Party Mode episode with the group Star Trek Bridge Crew play.

Colin is doing something he loves and is passionate about and the guys are evolving their content in fun new ways. I'm happy for all of them with how things are settling.

I havent had time to listen yet but I was very impressed with both Tim and Andy during the E3 coverage this year. They both had great points and arguments and did a great job IMO.

Andrea does a good job of hosting for What's Good Games and Danny is awesome.

Im always going to miss PSILY and the old Beyond but Im glad they are adding new shows.

Did you see when Andy awkwardly asked the Crash people about the sex dungeon they were staying at? I just thought that was funny.

Listening to Wednesday's show. The whole thing of "what are you playing?" "I played What Remains Of Edith Finch last night, listen to another podcast on Friday to hear my thoughts" was a bit weird. Not into that at all.

I am enjoying the show, I think my only complaint is that episodes are a bit too long for a daily show. I can already see myself falling behind,

~40 minutes would be the sweet spot. I hope they get closer to that as the show becomes more routine.

Love it otherwise, everything I enjoyed about PS I Love You but expanded to other platforms.

I have watched Games Daily this entire week. I like Greg and Andrea combination as it's the best since Greg and Colin simply because they're more opposite than similar and that will make the show better. Tim is okay but he's too much focused on Nintendo (and Crash) where as Andrea is more focused on gaming overall which is better for the show.

Love the setup and formula to the show as it's like PS I Love You but for gaming in general as opposed to only PlayStation. Hope they keep it up as this is the first time I have watched their shows and been into their shows since Colin was there. When he left, I lost all interest in Gamescast because it was simply boring and not entertaining.

Now, it's close to being back to what it was but longer which is even better. My only complaint is not having time stamps and youtube user does it. Some segments I have no interest in (like PSVR) and would like to skip them but seeing as how this complaint is minor and my only one, I'll keep watching.

All I need now is ACG getting back to having an international podcast every week and I'll get back my trifecta with KFGD, EZA and Karak. :)

I believe in a GOGS they mentioned how the "What are you playing?" segment is more for the Gamescast than KFGD, and in this case Andrea wouldn't necessarily be on the Gamescast. All that aside I'm fine with the shoutout regardless.

I really like the new format, they have taken the basic structure of PSILY (which was great) and made it shorter, daily, multi-platform and with a variety of co-hosts. Really looking forward to this weeks gamescast, sounds like a great lineup.

KF seems to be going stronger than ever, removing all of that negativity has done them the world of good. Just 6 months ago I was their biggest critic.

Hate to agree as I never really paid much attention to IGN during his tenure(or even KF really), but have caught him in various guest segments on podcasts and videos I do watch and found him exceptionally off-putting. Constantly mugging for the camera and saying very little of substance unless it was directed at himself.

I will grant him that his confidence does make him a good fit for his role as mostly a 'hype-man', but he also kind of represents what I really dislike about the direction of enthusiast media. Total personality/celebrity-focus and less on the substance. Danny is generally the complete opposite of Greg given his work at Gamespot(and beyond) in direct comparison, which could make for an interesting dynamic, but I really don't think I can take Greg. I'll give an episode a try though.

Yeah I thought it was going to be just the two of them from the misleading thread title.

I'm sure Miller is a nice guy in real life or whatever but something about his delivery annoys me. I tried one episode of this and he was doing the whole 'Roper report'/'time for sooome news' schtick I always hated it and I had to stop.

How does Titanfall 2 having a campaign hurt the game sales in any way? if anything the lack of content in the first Titanfall lead the game to have somewhat poor reception and hurt the sales of the second Titanfall.

For me, if Titanfall 2 didn't have a campaign I would've not bought it. And No Greg a multiplayer only Titnafall 2 by EA won't be less than $60 and if it was the revenue would be much less.

Otherwise, pretty good episode.

I really want to like the show since Andrea and Danny are great. Unfortunately, Greg still says "You know what I mean" every 10-15 sentences which is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I'm envious of people who can ignore it as I can't no matter how much I try.

Yo Greg and crew. I love the new additions and the new energy. Danny and Andrea have always been great, Tim is shining, and now we get all of this in one place? KFGD is some of the best content you've done. Praise where praise is due.

Yeah, they do a great job. Problem I have is that there's way too much content...every day during the week for an hour each time. I just end up not watching any of it because of that. I feel that even something like Monday, Wednesday, Friday would be a big improvement. Just focus on the bigger news.

I have enjoyed it when I've watched once in a while. They do a great job. But I still feel they do the show too often. I think Mon, Wed, Fri would be ideal. Once with Danny, once Andrea, and once with Tim.

You could just watch a couple episodes, or pick the ones that seem the most interesting to you. I throw the newest episode on when I'm eating dinner sometimes.

Yeah but the problem is knowing which episodes/topics will interest me. The headline isn't enough. Doing one per day spreads the news too thin and fills the shows with a bit too much filler IMO.

Agree completely. Literally how long would it really take them to do this? I remember reading somewhere that they responded to this complaint saying they're all really busy and just don't have time for it (or something to that effect) but to me that seems a little like bs.

Damn. No more Irish Cream.

As for this show being done too often, I don't understand the complaint. I crack it open daily, watch the Roeper Report while I fix lunch or breakfast, and by the time we're 30-40m into the episode they're finished and I usually stop watching. It's a good distraction while I cook.

His work is the best video game journalism has seen. Would've loved to see where CLS was going. I loved the first episode of his new podcast (audio essay about videogames), hopefully it's the mark of a slow return to gaming media. Some kind of return at least. He won't stop doing CLS for a while but I could see him and Greg doing a podcast together in the next 2-3 years.
