Kinda Funny crew.

Whenever I get anxiety or my depression kicks in, I just play a random episode of theirs that I haven't seen and I immediately start to calm down. Cheesy as it may sound but I always felt like I could fit in with that group of friends. Like I'd try to chime in their discussions internally and whatnot. So yeah, definitely them.

If any of the KF crew reads this, thanks for always keeping me company whenever I'm down, like I am right now.

To me it's the Easy Allies/Gametrailers crew. Especially liked Isla, Kyle and Elyse at Gametrailers.

I liked Beyond/Kinda Funny before they shived Colin. Now I can't watch neither Kinda Funny or Colin's content..

 

[Fare thee well]

It's really obscure. I miss Campbell Lane. He was the narrator for the intros and outros to Homeworld games, and I loved his utterly unique voice. Sadly as he passed away before deserts of kharak and that also means he won't be in Homeworld 3. I almost wouldn't mind if they found a strong immitation.

It’ll be hard to only choose one because so many people in the gaming industry has impacted me in different ways, but I’d say Koji Kondo and Nobuo Uematsu are definitely up there as the first ones

Kojumbo. I am mega excited about every game he directs. MGS is my favourite gaming series. Death Stranding was my goty. Love the ideas he comes up with, the amazing trailers he does etc.
