UnboxTherapy, the guy who faked an iPhone giveaway with hundreds of empty boxes to gain millions of extra subscribers. One of the biggest sleaze balls on Youtube.

I'll be giving that episode a miss!

 

[wiibomb]

I'm just a little sad that Kyle is working primarily behind the scenes, I love that man's work on camera, he is such a creative person.

I wish you the best Geoff, I'll be watching it.

 

[Nirolak]

Are people actually surprised at insanely popular YouTubers and Twitch streamers being on the YouTube Gaming show?

I mean a lot of these people are basically what modern television is to much of the youth audience.

Edit:

Here's a good chart from Variety a few years back: http://variety.com/2014/digital/new...mainstream-celebs-among-u-s-teens-1201275245/

 

[Salty Rice]

I just wish there would be good youtubers that are gaming related on there.

 

[El-Suave]

Always happy to have more Geoff and kudos for employing Bosman - I just hope this won't be mostly Youtube promoting Youtubers.

 

[LycanXIII]

Geoff, are we going to see the other EZA guys as guests occasionally?

 

[GlamFM]

Geoff is one of the absolute best in the industry.

This is super cool news.

 

[GlamFM]

Show will also be archived for us EU folks, right?

 

[thetester77]

Think of it as an extension of what we do at E3. A lot of those guests have big audiences and represent a new generation of gamers, and it's on us to figure out how to bring all the audiences together and grow this industry.

Its different from the usual Game Journos from various magazines as guests.

I'm pleased Geoff is back with a weekly show and looking forward to it.

 

[j0hnny_385]

Kyle is working behind the scenes but will also likely be on camera from time to time - he's shooting something this weekend that may make it into the premiere.

Oh whow...

 

[Bizzquik]

Great news.
There was an audience before for this kind of show, and there still is now.
YouTube is the perfect home for it.

 

[Volotaire]

Joe and Keighley will be very interesting. Glad to see Kyle is going to be working on the show.

I can definitely get behind this idea. Videogame entertainment is so segmented that it sometimes feels like these communities are their own isolated islands. Echo chambers are never good, so I hope your new show can encourage debate and a healthy exchange of ideas between these communities.

And I know Kyle previously said he was working beind the scenes, but that butt is just too juicy to keep hidden behind the camera.

 

[WooHooAlex]

YES!

This sounds great!
Gratz to Geoff, and Kyle. I'll definitely be watching.

 

[j0hnny_385]

I love Geoff's work so I'm behind this 100% .
Best of luck and hope it has good traction.

 

[Trago]

Sounds exciting.

 

[sora87]

Terrible list of guests. Just make it the Keighley and Bosman show

Now that's what I'd be down for.

 

[ArjanN]

Gonna get my Doritos and Mountain Dew ready.

Bud light you mean?

 

[jett]

Youtubers don't appeal to me but I enjoyed watching GTTV each week and since really don't have a show like that anymore anywhere I'll be giving this one a shot for sure.

 

[Trago]

I wonder what kind of exclusives we can expect.

 

[Roto Prime]

Geoff Keighley is one cool dude, KEEP GOING!

 

[jett]

I wonder what kind of exclusives we can expect.

NX reveal confirmed.

 

[Tsosie]

Back-door shady deals between Geoff and Kyle? . . . Love it. Hope it is successful. I will at least be there day 1 to see how it shapes up.

 

[Zalman]

I want Geoff to interview Reggie again like the old days.

 

[Messofanego]

GTTV is back baby.

Aww yeah WORLD EXCLUSIVE

 

[Trago]

I want Geoff to interview Reggie again like the old days.

Could be a perfect place for Nintendo to 'ok' content on Youtube

 

[Salty Hippo]

Youtuber guests only? Updates on e-sports? Yeah, not for me.

Let me know when and if you make something like the Bonus Round again, Geoff.

 

[styl3s]

Youtubers don't appeal to me but I enjoyed watching GTTV each week and since really don't have a show like that anymore anywhere I'll be giving this one a shot for sure.

Yeah when i first read all the guest people i immediately thought "this is targeted to my young nieces and nephews who eat these YT stars up". I'll probably watch whatever Kyle is in and one on one interviews between Keighley and industry people but i just have 0 interest in youtube people and that's 100% fine i am not that demographic and i understand that i am just glad he's back and he's getting people interested in my favorite hobby.

Seriously. GAF looking seriously out of touch right now lol

 

[suedester]

So this is what Kyle Bosman was working on apparently. Hopefully in front of the camera.

 

[Hale-XF11]

Neat, I'll definitely check it out.

 

[Servbot24]

I think the YouTubers will be fine if the format is simply having conversations about games rather than talking about their channels or how zany they are.

 

[Mariolee]

This sounds great for the industry overall. Would you be open to taking suggestions for Youtubers we would like to see on the show?

 

[Sad Affleck]

I will watch the shit out of these, I like Geoff a lot.

 

[RoKKeR]

Nice, happy to see this. I had missed GTTV.

I still have the MW2 and ODST episodes saved on my iTunes account, was so damn excited for those episodes. Hopefully as they grow they'll be able to get back to doing some of those big, blowout previews. It sounds like they are already trying to do some of that, which is great to see.

 

[RiggyRob]

If this airs at a decent UK time I might watch this.

Also a good way to make YouTube Gaming actually relevant.

 

[Nzyme32]

I'm hoping these weekly shows will not be continuously focused on just the "AAA" games and becomes a platform that is able to showcase some of the more unique and exciting titles that wouldn't usually get the publicity they deserve

 

[GamingOblivion]

Bosman's working on this show? Time to dance.

 

[Auctopus]

Great answer, Geoff.

 

[geoffmk]

Absolutely!

 

[wideface]

Only watching for Bosman and Keighley.
I do hope they get some cool guests.

 

[joms5]

Featured YouTubers in season one include MatPat (The Game Theorist), iHasCupQuake, iJustine, Nadeshot, AngryJoeShow, and UnboxTherapy.

So why should I care about any of these people?

Do they have any real experience in the industry or are they just marketable Youtube personalties?

Because 2 people on that list I feel don't have anything of value to add to a conversation unless it has to do with making Youtube videos. And that's putting it nicely.

I think they have valid perspectives to offer, but I hope we get some interaction from developers too.

 

[Nesther]

Glad for Geoff and Bosman but... yeah, those guests are sounding terrible.

Had the exact same reaction. I'm going to see what Bosman has in store for us, but if the dose of any of these mentioned guests is too big, I'm bailing.

 

[joms5]

I would prefer to have developers, consultants, journalists and hell even Michael Pachter.

I think Pachter has lost touch with what games are today but at the same time I appreciate his knowledge into the financial side of things.

But having guests with significant experience in the industry is the difference between a show with credit, and me and my friends just sitting around talking shit.

And that show would appeal to a insanely small crowd.

Keighley is smart and is building a show that will have mass appeal on the modern sense. And talk to the younger generation in a way then most of the other products today from IGN and similar sites.

 

[MisterR]

Cool, I really like Geoff.

 

[daveo42]

Def excited for this. Love Geoff and everything he does do, even if it doesn't quite shake out the way some of us would like all of the time.

 

[sixteen-bit]

live Reggie interview pls

 

[TheDangerMan]

Huge fan of both Keighley and Bosman, I'll be there day 1!
