Whoa, that is super weird timing... I'm watching the GamesDaily video right now and he was JUST answering your question when I clicked this thread and read your post. Pretty cool!
Your question was really thought-provoking, thanks for asking it.
Heh, funny that. I actually listened to the episode a few minutes after it went up on YouTube, just didn't think to say anything until now.
You're welcome! Thought provoking are my favorite kinds of questions.
I generally listen to Games Daily first because... well... because there's more news there and I don't always have time for both. So on days like today it's fun to hear Gary and Greg spar a bit about what I assumed happened off screen... then listen to the Morning Show and bam their scheduling conflict resolution in all its hilarity happened on air.
In my experience best friends run in a lot of the same circles :P
A Nintendo fanboy stays being a Nintendo fanboy lol. He was advocating and salivating for a Netflix-style Virtual Console service to be included and now that Nintendo has announced their service he flip-flops to defend it. I love Tim, but he goes into bat for Nintendo wayyyyyyy too hard sometimes.
Yeah I really like tim too but forgot how much of a Nintendo fanboy he can be at times. Just guess I was expecting a bit more from him in regards to his analysis which just ended up being "nothing effects me so it's fine and you get what you get from nintendo".
I liked him at IGN and I enjoy Pockets Full of Soup, but I can't take him anymore on Games Daily. I've taken to skipping any episodes he's on and I'm tossing up whether or not to listen to this week's Gamescast. The combination of him hosting + me not at all being interested in Kevin's opinions and thoughts on video games make it extremely unappealing, but it's also more Andy content which I can never say no to lol
His very ranty style turns me off. I feel like they reigned him in a lot at IGN when he was on Beyond, which helped get the absolute best out of him imo, and obvious on PFoS he's just acting as interviewer so he doesn't really rant. When it comes to Games Daily and to a lesser extent Gamescast he sometimes just lets loose an enormous stream of consciousness and it doesn't really jive with me, particularly because it's usually about an obscure old game I've never even heard of. I'm also not a big fan of the overly descriptive ways he describes games. At this point it seems like he's called about 50 obscure games "revolutionary, genre-defining, masterpiece" etc. and something about that is a little offputting to me. He clearly has an incredible wealth of knowledge, but I think Tim, Greg and co. need to reign him in more to get that knowledge across in the best way possible.
