    Yeah they started Kinda Funny (non-games) like in Sept/Oct last year as I recall. Greg and Collin started with Conversation with Colin, Oreo Reviews and other non gaming stuff (IGN would not allow them to talking gaming on their own youtube channel)

    I enjoyed this Throwback Thursday video playing the NES version of Ghostbusters. I remember playing it and getting just as frustrated as they did.



    Anyone else play this one? Like them, I could get to the Zuul building, but always died on the stairs.

    Greg Miller quits IGN for new venture

    Holy shit! I had the game on the SEGA Master System (I also had the Genesis version). I didn't even know it was on the NES. It's essentially the game, it appears. I beat it as a kid. The stairs were harder than the end fight with Zuul.

    Yeah their throwback videos are always fun - played/rented Ghost Busters as a kid and I always died exactly where they ended today - never could figure out the stairs.

    I remember Zillion on Sega. That was hard as me and my brothers drew maps by hand to help navigate the tunnels and levels. A lot of fun. Also the old school third person/isometric Rambo games were a lot of fun.

    I also remember a Rocky game back then. Very unbalanced as Creed sucked. No boxers were equal and Dolph lundgren was impossible. I remember almost knocking down the Russian once. Was the closest ever to doing it but my brothers and I could never come close again.

    Alfredo Diaz also leaves IGN to go full-time Twitch streamer - best of luck to these guys but this just feels like a bubble that is going to pop and hurt allot of the "lesser" known people doing this now.

    Yep. It may be a good move in the very short term, but this has disaster written all over in a couple years.

    So far, things are working out. They just created a new studio for their shows:

    Following a joke last week that had some upset (leading to him avoiding PAX), Colin Moriarty is leaving Kinda Funny effective immediately.

    One day people will learn not to post anything on Twitter, EVER! Nothing good comes out of it. There is always someone out there ready and willing to be offended.

    I didn't think that tweet (or follow-up) were that offensive, but I've read others say he has a "history" of comments like that.

    Over recent weeks & months it seems like he has lost some interest in gaming and instead would rather be covering politics and news. This morning he appeared for a segment on Glenn Beck's radio program.
