Hmmmm.... Sept 29. I wonder if the first episode is about the NX. Maybe Geoff knows something....
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.
Yup, same here.Huge fan of both Keighley and Bosman, I'll be there day 1!

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.
Is someone being bigger than the entirety of youtube supposed to mean something to me? My nieces/nephews who range from 11-19 will eat this shit up all they do is watch youtube on their phones/ipads that's all they talk about. Pewdiepie this, i justine that etc. They weren't even interested in video games till they saw a bunch of these personalities and i think that's AWESOME. I don't have anything against youtube personalities i just don't watch them but i respect a lot of them and i love that they are getting more people into a hobby i love.Congrats Geoff and also cool to see Kyle on board as well.
GAFs reactions to the guest list is hilarious because you see all these posts about "I'm out" and yet 1 of some of these YouTube guys crowds is bigger than the entirety of GAF by several times. Don't get me wrong I'm not crazy about all of them either but it makes perfect sense to have them on.
Will watch to support Keighley
"Guests including .."
Yeah, no way I'm watching those wank stains.
I know it is on YouTube but using youtube "celebs" is not the way to go.

So no plan for those of us in the 100,000 but not in the millions then? lol

Finally it was killing me not knowing but Kyle's been working on but now where will we get our Bosman in a suit fix?
You're right. And that's great. I would rather it know what it wants to be than to try to appeal to everyone and water it's content down. That's the problem with Keighly. He always sells out.
Wants to create an awards show that gamers would be proud to watch, but then brings celebrities to the event. I don't give a shit about celebs when it comes to games. That's what the other 3 awards shows are for during the year.
Bringing these people on may attract a younger segment but then it's time to ask why you're doing this. It's either have integrity or be rich and famous. Very few can straddle the line to have both.
I never understand what his end game is. He did the Game Awards last year which was pretty damn good. Then he goes and does the Dorito's stage and this stuff.
Obigatory:
Maybe i'm the minority here, but are people here actually excited to see Keighly do something, or are they excited about the Youtube personalities being on the show?
You deserve a pass for that majestic beard of yours.
Eh, that hasn't really been derogatory anymore.C'mon man not even one post before this?
You need to fucking relax dude. I'm a hardcore gamer and I enoy AngryJoeShow and Nadeshot. Maybe it doesn't appeal to you but there's plenty of gamers that clearly love their content so who are you to question the authenticity or the appeal.
You sound like an old man yelling at a cloud out here seriously.
You need to fucking relax dude.

I don't know whether I love or hate the name iHasCupQuake

This is not a circle jerk thread. joms5's message is a valid argument. Geoff gets a pass on criticism a lot of times because he is perceived to be someone who has a passion for industry. His critics sit on the other side of the fence for that very same reason. When you stop drinking the Kool-aid and take a hard look at his business model, it is just that, a business model and one arguably that strives when he caters to the industry ("celebraties") before he does the gamers. When he does criticize the industry, it is as an opportunist. The whole "Kojima/Konami" thing is an embarrassing example. Days later, the two are high fiving each other on twitter. Fuck me.
As a rule, I generally have little respect for these self professed gaming "journalists" who think that airing someone's dirty laundry on air is a good for the industry or gamers or whoever. Other people in his circle , and many more on twitter, think that cheerleading developers with blind optimism is good for the industry when its really only good for their own brand. These poor developers: They work haaaard. They spend hours of their liiiiiives working on entertaining gamers. So by default, I guess we should blindly support them with the hard earned money we make with the little disposable income we have.
Nah, lol. Pandering is a problem in our industry and Geoff is a panderer and the Jimmy Fallon of the industry. I have zero interest in not calling it out when I personally see it. It's fine to enjoy it, but it's dumb to not criticize it when warranted. Two things can be true.
A 1 hour and weekly show with Kyle Bosman as the Producer??? How does he even have time for Easy Allies?
The show some people in this thread are saying they want, with no "celebrities", or corporate influences and brands (doritos and mountain dew all the way!) would be an absolute money loser. Even the NFL is brought to me by Verizon and Budweiser.
Angry Joe.
I understand this. I think maybe it's the way it's implemented that just seems sleazy.
Plus can't Geoff get sponsors that people would actually want ads from? For example, I would have no problem and would even like ads from people such as:
Nintendo
Sony
Microsoft
Intel/AMD
Samsung
Nvidia/ATI
Logitech
Corsair
Best Buy
etc.
I hate both Doritos and Mountain Dew.
I remember watching the Game Awards commercials like a hawk because they were actually advertising things I may actually want to buy.
