Yep. He appears on the recent daily show, told his sob sob brap story then he joined in (pity invite I think). Dude still act clueless about people hating him.The guy formerly of Game Informer?
Fellas Fellas I'm disappointed to hear how few people are aware of the Easy Allies. These guys are truly the best in the Biz. They were the old Gametrailers crew that reformed into Easy Allies after Gametrailers was shut down. They started 3 Years ago and gaming would not be as enjoyable if I hadn't discovered them I implore you to give them a try. They are very passionate, lots of fun, and they make some of the best gaming content on the internet. These guys deserve sooo much more attention and authority than Kinda Funny.

As someone who grew up reading Nintendo Power I don't really mind an always-positive content source. It's not like they're trying to pretend like they're something else.
I don't really frequent Kinda Funny too much, and I loved the Greg/Colin dynamic back on Beyond. But I don't really understand why Kinda Funny is the "very worst" of gaming media.
I think most people who put themselves out there in such a public way put on a persona. The thing is, to some it comes naturally and they are able to do so in a believable way, while others will instantly come across as fake. From what little I've seen of them, Greg just seems to be a part of the latter group.
So I've never really understood their success. Looking at their youtube page they don't do reviews, or any sort of "shows" or journalistic work. Seems to be mostly some not particularly likeable people sitting at a table talking about the latest gaming news
As a Beyond! fan i have to agree, Beyond! was great, amazing podcast. KFG never was good, the mood changed and without Colin it became a circle jerk where no one is informed on the topics and because Greg doesn't have anyone who challenges his stances.
Sacred Symbols is suffering something similar, while that podcast feels more wholesome due to Colin's more nuanced comments, his co-host is hardly on his level and also feels like most of the time there is no meaningfull discussion.
I have to say that from this whole Game Journos Exodus that happened, the better channels are Easy Allies because how much effort they put in the content and Funhaus, because Funhaus is like constant comedy with games as a background.
Then 1up was slowly dismantled piece by pieceWe're a long way away from the days of this.
I think Colin's a lot better off without Greg, Sacred Symbols is the best podcast he's done.
Chris is actually funny unlike Greg who, like a 5-year old, thinks that shouting is the key to humour.
