It's called Colin's Last Stand

Colin's Last Stand is a fan-funded video series focusing on politics, history, and fantastic stories delving into both worlds.

The Patreon has already surpassed $16,000

 

[MadLaughter]

An appropriate name considering the hills he chooses to die on.

 

[caliph95]

From lurking in the gaming thread from time to time
Bet Gaf is going to love this

 

[Moppeh]

An appropriate last name considering the hills he chooses to die on.

Amazing.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Will be interested to see how much of his gaming focused hardcore fans are going to give a fuck about this.

 

[Silver Arrows]

How long before he starts a full blown alt-right channel? Considering that's who he was courting in Kinda Funny.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Well I hope he's more enthusiastic about it than he was about video games since before he left KF.

 

[McDougles]

$16k/month for THAT level of production.

Following the Milo path of leaning into an audience willing to throw money at you.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Will be interested to see how much of his gaming focused hardcore fans are going to give a fuck about this.

He'll undoubtedly have tons of funding to start with because that's how these things go, but I'm more interested in how steady that holds.

 

[ezekial45]

None of this surprises me at all. Not even the fact that it's already a success.

He's no doubt gonna double down on all of his views.

 

[thekonamicode]

Will be interested to see how much of his gaming focused hardcore fans are going to give a fuck about this.

His Patreon seems like it will easily settle at over $20,000 a month.

 

[Heroman]

Yes what the world needs another white conservative guy show about history.

 

[Jebusman]

Oh hey, now Off-Topic can join in on the fun.

 

[Portugeezer]

I am happy for him.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

"Hey, guys; here's what my white ancestors did for you. Please understand."

 

[louiedog]

A semi relaunch of his career and rebranding seems like a great time to get rid of those earrings.

 

[chromatic9]

Was Reich to Reply taken?

jk

 

[hydruxo]

An appropriate name considering the hills he chooses to die on.

Oh man lmao

 

[Spaced Harrier]

Well he is the Brett Ratner of kinda funny games.

 

[Fjordson]

Good. Now he and his wacko following can have their own safe space.

 

[Sou Da]

What the hell is up with the way he titles shit?

 

[Sandoval]

I always thought he was an uninformed, self-righteous dick on Podcast Beyond... hearing about what he's into now doesn't surprise me.

 

[Dude Abides]

I dunno. The market for angry right-wing dbags ranting about politics and acting like savants because they took some undergrad history courses one time is kinda crowded already.

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

His Patreon seems like it will easily settle at over $20,000 a month.

Sigh.
Well atleast Gaming is free of him and his trolls.

 

[BitStyle]

Saw this coming

 

[riotous]

His Patreon seems like it will easily settle at over $20,000 a month.

Will be interesting to see if it lasts.

I'd like to think the show will become boring and repetitive; but if it becomes a "defend Trump" show, he'll have endless topics to babble about considering how Trump does something obscene almost daily.

 

[Jebusman]

I dunno. The market for angry right-wing dbags ranting about politics and acting like savants because they took some undergrad history courses one time is kinda crowded already.

On the contrary, the more they can get the more they can feel their opinions/views are validated, as they have further public examples to point to.

 

[Kurdel]

With patreon he doesn't need a super wide audience to have a confortable living.

 

[Corpekata]

He's going to get a lot of funding right now but in a few months time his fans will realize he's not talking about video games anymore and abandon ship.

 

[shira]

 

[Dirtyshubb]

Not surprised in the least, we have seen that being an outspoken conservative/shitbag is a viable career option and its clear that's what Colin is going after.

 

[Mael]

Because one thing we all needed was another uniformed right wing channel about history.
Wonder if Jontron will go on his podcast instead of Sargon for a while...

 

[Jakoo]

It was clear even before the tweet firestorm, dude was burnt out on video games and apathetic about his work on PS I Love You XOXO.

Colin's Last Stand is a super pretentious name for a series, but, at this point I suppose that part of his brand. Best case scenario, perhaps he will churn something along the lines of Dan Carlin's Hardcore History series. I think his Colin Was Right series proved the Colin can at least do good enough research on topics he's interested in.

 

[outlawauron]

How long before he starts a full blown alt-right channel? Considering that's who he was courting in Kinda Funny.

What about Colin is alt-right?

 

[eggandI]

Who didn't expect this lol? Right-wing pseudo-intellectuals with victim complexes who make YouTube videos is practically a career path at this point

 

[Jacce]

Oh boy a youtube channel for him to spout his sexist/racist "jokes".

 

[Discotheque]

20,000 a month for just being some annoying cunt online. Wow.

How much of that money would really be needed to even produce this show? The amount he pockets for this is crazy.

 

[Armaros]

Who didn't expect this lol? Right-wing pseudo-intellectuals with victim complexes who make YouTube videos is practically a career path at this point

Following that Milo path.

 

[Primethius]

An appropriate name considering the hills he chooses to die on.

What a perfect first post.

 

[The Salt Life]

Hmm sounds interesting, I usually find history boring but I'll listen to Colin deliver it.

 

[Jacce]

I can't wait to hear from him more about how he thinks Black Lives Supporters are idiots!

Hmm sounds interesting, I usually find history boring but I'll listen to Colin deliver it.

If you find him talking about why civil rights movements are dumb and advocating policies to only benefit rich white men are interesting I suppose you could find it entertaining. If you have an ounce of empathy to non-white males steer far, far, far away from this.

 

[Dude Abides]

On the contrary, the more they can get the more they can feel their opinions/views are validated, as they have further public examples to point to.

With patreon he doesn't need a super wide audience to have a confortable living.

But he's gonna have to compete for that 4channer dollar with Sargon of Akkad, Stephan Molyneux, Milo, etc.

 

[hawk2025]

Because everyone needs to see more videos of that one libertarian college roommate in a state of arrested development!

He played the game well, though. The exit strategy was transparent, but obviously it worked.

 

[Vital Tundra]

20,000 'effin dollars. Wow.

 

[digitalrelic]

What a terrible, amateur looking logo. Wow.

 

[benicillin]

All the power to him. He can go do his own thing and if people want to support that it's fine.

That logo is awful though.

 

[_Ryo_]

Let's hope it actually is his last stand and he fails miserably.

 

[pokeystaples]

I'm glad he includes his name in his podcast titles.

It's called Colin's Last Stand

Already above 16K/month? But the gaf experts on that huge neogaf topic told us all that he wouldn't be able to do much

Yall got any more great predictions lmao??

 

[BocoDragon]

I actually think him focusing on politics/history is appropriate. He clearly wasn't interested in just staying focused on gaming topics, and I think he gave up the right to be thought of as a gaming personality.
