@DMCMaster Uploading the first episode now! Sorry I've been inactive, I've been on break for a while, so I haven't been to attentive. My bad.

@FF7Cloud I was thinking we could chat over PS4 party chat if possible. Maybe even chat while playing some games.

Hi, allies!
I've been kicking around an idea for a while, and was wondering what your opinions on it would be. Kinda Funny community members have been doing this for a while, and I thought it'd be cool to bring it over to the EZA side of things.

I'm proposing a community podcast (hosted by me) where I'd interview fellow members of the EZA community about their experience with EZA. I'm not entirely sure about the details (how, when, where, etc.), but I'd just like to gauge your thoughts on this.

Would this be something you'd like to listen to/appear on?

I've been hosting my own podcast for a while now, but my commitment to it has been wavering due to it being a solo podcast. I think it'd be an awesome way for me to continue podcasting while providing a unique perspective on the EZA community.

So, what do you think?

We got a little taste of that with some Huber-Jones Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Really loved their dynamic and the game was strong enough to support some good visual stimulation, too. Would love more stuff like it!

I think your vocal delivery could use some work, but it's a fantastic start! It can only get better from this point.

Watched Kilo Two Bravo this morning.
I liked it; it's very tense, if a bit slow at times.

It's sad, but I saw it coming. Colin's been growing past Kinda Funny with his appearances on Rubin Report and Glenn Beck's show, and it's no secret that his truest passion lies beyond gaming.

I thought the controversy surrounding his joke tweet was completely overblown - especially considering it was, after all, a joke - and unfortunately served as the catalyst for his decision. Too much toxicity (from both sides of the fence) was surrounding him and his co-workers' work, so I think it was beneficial and smart for both sides.

It'll definitely serve as a huge shake-up to Kinda Funny, as they'll have to re-organize shows and events to compensate, but they'll survive. I have no doubt they'll find a suitable addition to serve as the new member. Greg, Tim, Nick, Kevin, and Joey are all still there, being great people.

It's important to note that while there were many-a-dispute, Colin's departure is on good terms. They're all great friends, and Colin still shares a home with Greg. It's saddening to see so many attempted character assassinations on Mr. Moriarty surrounding this controversy from many outlets like Polygon and IBT simply due to his political affiliations and misunderstood jokes.

I hope Colin Moriarty finds success in whatever his next venture may be, and I hope that Kinda Funny lives on without him. To be perfectly honest, I think this split is better for both parties.

Just finished Horizon Zero Dawn on Friday! Loved it. The narrative is awesome, Aloy is an incredible protagonist and I had a blast playing it. As far as open-world action RPGs go, Horizon might just be my favorite. Whereas Witcher 3 felt too dense and a little clunky in the gameplay department, Horizon had a perfect balance of solid narrative and fun gameplay. It has a few technical and presentational issues, but overall, the positives heavily outweigh the negatives.

9.8/10

I just want something very narrative-focused, genre be damned.
