Support NeoGAF

[Bryank75]

Quite impressive that he has done this against all the odds.
I would say it's an admirable feat and shows that gaming is a hobby for everyone, not just the far left (Although they are the loudest).

Please refrain from idle accusations if you do not like Colin. You can simply state he is not your cup of tea and move on... (Many thanks).

sophnar0747 You are a part of this! Congrats!

 

[Slings and Arrows]

If he's the second biggest in the world he doesn't need support.

Jk well done fella. Enjoy your 100 tacos and the Dr Who marathon.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Era be like

 

[Punished Miku]

How much does he get a month now? Is that hidden on Patreon now?

It's optional if you want to hide it

Probably makes more than Kinda Funny though, which is kinda funny

 

[Bryank75]

How much does he get a month now? Is that hidden on Patreon now?

I've no idea, it must be around 50K a month...maybe more. He just bought a house in Virginia and he is the part owner of an indie studio. Their second game is being worked on at the moment....

That's true but when Colin started out he was at 39K if I remember correctly... so I assumed he would be making more now. Maybe I am wrong though...it's hard to know because he has a few tiers and I can't see a breakdown of the tiers...

 

[Bryank75]

His content is excellent by the way, particularly if you are into PlayStation!
I'd recommend it very much.

Never listened to his stuff, comments on it?

Found Colin

 

[McCheese]

Have never heard of this guy before, but resetera hating him is a pretty damn good recommendation; seems like the content itself is free so those folks are donating to support him.

Man I wasted my life, imagine making 30k a month talking about something you love.

 

[Bryank75]

Did you ever see Beyond! on IGN back about 6 years ago? It's like that for Sacred Symbols / PlayStation podcast.

Then he has a retro podcast with his brother Dagan and he has Sacred Symbols + where there may be reviews, spoilercasts or other discussions. He also streams on Twitch... he just got partnered I believe.

 

[Portugeezer]

Good for him after the BS he got.

He has been consistent, his PS podcast is probably the best but always feels a bit late for a non-patron.

 

[MoreJRPG]

So happy for Colin, it’s great to have someone real in the industry and not some SJW shill. He’s more successful than ever before when he got blackballed from the industry.

 

[Bryank75]

Yeah, I am a patron but I think he should just release the Youtube version for everyone 24 hours later instead of 3 days... People would support him anyway!

Can't say I have, Ive just gotten into podcasts lately. Is he on Spotify?

I think he actually has an account here. sophnar0747 writes for him...

Yes.. search "Sacred Symbols: A PlayStation Podcast"

 

[Trogdor1123]

Yes.. search "Sacred Symbols: A PlayStation Podcast"

Thanks, will do

Edit:
Wow they are long!

 

[Coolwhhip]

Back when I still thought reeee was a gaming forum, they actually kinda had me believing he was a tool. But then I saw some videos of him and of course he's normal.

 

[Collin]

Good for him. Always liked him. I know his political opinions are controversial for some, and as someone who leans left I don’t agree with all of them personally, but he is well-informed and interesting to listen to in a political context. I wish people saw that more. I also wish the people who try to take him down know that while he have certain right-leaning takes, he’s much more of a libertarian these days than a conservative. I bet a lot of people who try to cancel him don’t even understand the difference between those two things.

The tweet they fired him over is so fucking benign though lol. Success is the best revenge. Kinda Funny probably is embarrassed over how much they overreacted over that dumb joke tweet.

Personally Greg Miller and Tim Gettys annoy me. Just a crew of bland unfunny boring ass dudes. Colin helped ground them and was a great foil to their blandness with his cynicism.

Everything you said is 100%. He even annoyed me with his dislike of the PS4 Pro but I disagreements happen a lot on life... if you can't deal with a little disagreement, what hope is there!

Greg always seemed like he was acting and I never saw the true him and Tim... I don't like him at all, I think he ousted Colin to get his own relative in there.

But anyway I am so so happy for Colin, he has a really nice family and he has been decent to everyone. I never understood how people could have done that to him...

 

[cormack12]

We have an OT as well

Sacred Symbols |OT| PS, I Still Love You

Sacred Symbols is a weekly show all about PS5, PS4, PS Vita, and PSVR. Co-hosted by games industry veteran Colin Moriarty and comedian Chris "Ray Gun" Maldonado, Sacred Symbols aims to both inform and entertain, going through the news of the day, scouring the most recent games, and taking plenty...

www.neogaf.com

It's good, and they were talking about changing the schedule and splitting the show recently into different styles iirc. To bridge the gap between patrons and non patrons.

It's not a one sitting podcast for me. I generally get it done in two days while working out. I'd recommend checking it out for sure.

 

[Steve.1981]

Good. I don't listen to his stuff, but congratulations to the guy. It's crazy to think that he was forced out of his job & treated like a leper by other game "journalists" for the crimes of having right-wing views & cracking an inoffensive joke one time.

His success is the perfect karma. Hope he's enjoying it.

 

[KiNeMz]

Definately my number 1 podcast. Sony need to work closer with him and Chris.

 

[Roufianos]

Never listened to his stuff, comments on it?

The best video game podcast out there, by some distance too.

This is great news anyway, a huge fuck you to the SJWs who tries to destroy his career.

 

[Apollo Helios]

Honestly I don't listen to any podcasts but even I know the story of how they ousted him out o the company. I watched their last stream together and that was telling, that they had a fight and weren't on speaking terms, instead of what they have been telling they are still friends and all that. Tim's face on that was like gtfo here and since then I feel a sting dislike in my bones towards Tim. Good for Colin, I wish he was not political at all.

 

[Woodchipper]

I would say it's an admirable feat and shows that gaming is a hobby for everyone, not just the far left

You’re right, it is for everyone, which, if the far right had it their way, would not be the case.

(Although they are the loudest)

Doesn’t that contradict the title of this thread?

Who are you calling far left anyway? Kinda Funny? IGN? Gamespot? Easy Allies? If you think any of those are far left, you don’t know what far left is.

 

[angelic]

Just goes to prove that chasing the limp dicked SJW crowd isnt they holy grail.

 

[The Fartist]

Don't completely agree with his politics but when it come to PlayStation, Colin is my ninja. Been listening to Sacred Symbols since day one. Fuck the haters.

That Chris Raygun kid is a smart little boy, too.

 

[Coolwhhip]

The opposite actually. SJW don't have any money anyway.

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Awesome!!! Definitely a fan of Colin who says what he wants/feels and doesn't apologize for any of it. Congratulations and hope he has even more success for years to come.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Good. Well deserved.

And greg.. fuck you
You spineless backstabbing pos

This.

Colin is great. Greg is a twat, which sucks because I used to really like him back in the IGN days. Podcast Beyond got me through some rough times back in high school. I'd be lying if I didn't tear up on the last episode with the two of them. I still go back and listen to the PSN outage episode, and that last episode every once in awhile.

I loved PS ILY as well even if it wasn't quite on the same high as Beyond was. Sacred Symbols is my favorite podcast currently along with the Giantbomb podcasts, and Easy Allies.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

Not surprised, the guy is like a gaming encyclopedia (too bent on Nintendo for the old stuff, but at least he knows what he is talking about).

And it's good that he is not with the losers at kinda funny, that place is worthless since he left.

 

[Hendrick's]

Go woke go broke.

 

[mekes]

Oof, Rogan the other week and Colin this week. Poor reeee.

Congrats to Colin!

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

This is great. I didn't realize he was this popular. Kinda funny is kinda shity anymore. This is probably eating era alive. If they alowed members to say his name that is.

 

[Hans Bubby]

God damn, good for him. Dude is raking in the money.

Thanks, will do

Edit:

Yes, the most recent was the 100th episode, so that was an hour and a half extra.

If you need time-stamps, they are on the youtube version, so you can skip what you are not interested in... cause they often talk about random stuff in between.

 

[Apollo Helios]

This is great. I didn't realize he was this popular. Kinda funny is kinda shity anymore. This is probably eating era alive. If they alowed members to say his name that is.

Hey what's up with that? I really do not know what happened between the sites.

 

[Great Hair]

Why would someone pay money to have him read old news by a celebrity (or questions from his fans)? News we have read days, elsewhere before. Are all the episodes structured like this?

Used to watch Giantbombcast for a while and it was much better paced, focused due usually having 4 to 5 people talking and not just 2 where one barely has anything to say.

4h of which

Spoiler

recycled old news from 4 days ago
more questions from patreon for hours (main source of content, filler ...)
advertising new games coming to the PS4, PSVR
daddy likes the witcher tv show
Alana did not drink or eat
The Witcher franchsie hits 50mill. milestone
no real playstation news at all, past accolades? new events? secrets? Where is Shu? Where is Jack? Mentioning Slycooper in the same sentence as Ratchet&Clank aint enough.
DS4 back button addon he dislikes
their xbox 360 days
his gamecube library
he finds geralt sexy
Sonys new team in san diego (WE knew this years ago)
... nothing else, rather boring and less about Playstation and more about them. Biopodcastgraphy ... Who´s Alana?

Without all the filler, the episode would be less than 60min long

Also its nissssccccchhhe not nitsch.

I would support Giantbomb, but they kinda bombed.

I just dont get how ppl. pay for old news. HELLO!? Have to check other podcasts, maybe they are all like this. Is reading an article for 2min too much?

I agree with how to pronounce niche. He is a voice I value, that was earned over many years.. I can't speak for everyone and of course some will not value his opinions or the content as much... that is human nature.

 

[Vawn]

And he did by being himself and not conforming to the rest of the SJW media.

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

I've been rooting for Colin since the whole tweet debacle.

I check his content out every once in a while and it's always pretty solid

 

[MrS]

Fuck cancel culture, Era and those who tried to down him. Buncha jealous cunts.

For £1 per month, it's well worth a sub. Shit loads of content even at the lowest level.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

good news!

 

[Great Hair]

He gets paid a lot it seems. Why not come up with something special, researched? Instead of reading everything of neogaf and similar.

You know, actually follow your vocation? Come up with your on topic, thema ... no? Old news from a prompter will do? Add some questions and that will net anyone 60min to 120min if you can stretch it enough.

That episode was dull, lacked any information (especially playstation) and did not "reveal" anything new or interesting. I guess this falls under "podcasts you listen when you doing something else?". Who cares about Alana? Or their 360 collection?

As a yurobean i cant stand any of these ign, gamespot, giantbomb and all the new ones celebrities. But why does Colin´s opinion (which he had none in this epi) matter more over someone like Gerstmann?
