I'm... a little saddened...
not because of the new format, but because of the lost things that made the old format so popular in the first place, I think I'll break it down in a Bosman fashion:
- The Bonus bits are gone, they were of the most encouraging aspects of the old show, not only tells you a little (complicated and awesome) story about a man with videogame issues (lol), but also encourages the whole audience to keep an eye for the next episodes so they continue the story, in fact, it didn't even matter if there was not lore-relevant bonus bit at the end of the next episode, it only mattered that there is an story inside that show for all of us who want to continue watching.
- The suit, the background, the little reserved area for the show is kind of gone, this is something important for me that kind of was lost with defy media last year, but having an own space, different that everything else, with a background of sorts (like the Space Shutter!) was unique, it made a little eye candy for the viewers, the desk, the mugs! (where are the mugs??) the little items that made the show an staple. The show doesn't need anything I told in this, but the point is that it needs something of a more produced format.
- The thing I really really most missed: the acting. I know how excellent Kyle is performing, this was proven way too many times in TFB and was undoubtedly the most cherished aspect of TFB for me, because it made each episode unique, not only in a sense of a wise man talking about videogames, but in a sense of someone who genuinely express his feeling through his own expressions and voice and absolutely loved that, no one needs a complicated story or a background or even a suit for that, the only thing needed is that passion for what one does. You don't need huge production values to do this brilliant boss parody or this genius Pokemon rejection those were the things that almost no one can do in the gaming media and I loved it so very much, I hope that is just because of the start of the show, but I would love for that to come back. May be it's just a matter of confidence
Still, if you see this Kyle, know that I'll be there watching your show every time you upload it, I'll be glad to see how this new thing will go and thanks for doing it, I really appreciate it.
