Activision only has eyes for Call of Duty, so Kyle has tips for their neglected franchises to get some attention.

This is so great. It's like the good old days have returned out of nowhere.

[@DarshUK1]

I know right! I don’t wanna say the shows name because at this point I think Kyle’s sick of hearing fans mention it on all his vids. But this format and goofy humour really take me back to a time when KZbin didn’t suck :D

[@hisokabeatbox9053]

YOu mEAn FinAL bOSmAn?!

[@Ruskles06]

Less returned out of nowhere and more Kyle needs money to survive.

[@Kango234]

With Giant Bomb pretty much ending out of nowhere it feels like the universe is balancing itself out.

[@snc237]

@@Kango234 whoa what! Giant bombs gone

[@MrConeman]

Somewhere Kyle's mom and dad are watching this, not understanding it all, but are very proud.

[@DerUserX]

lol I was thinking the same thing.

[@DarshUK1]

His parents are so cool, I hope we’ll get an update in a few years because they have some great takes on “Kyle” and “what it’s like to have a kid who loves video games” lol

[@UziSuicide666]

The same can be said for me!

[@ShionShinigami]

😂😂😂😂

[@Thelmas]

This is the kind of content that I had always hoped to get when I started supporting Easy Allies from day1. There really isn't anyone that surprises every single week like Kyle in this industry, I've enjoyed mostly everything you did during the last years but I really missed this kind of content.

[@danlet]

Kyle, tossing and turning in bed, losing sleep: “... Mostly? Mostly?!?!” He correlates the evaluation of his content with that of a videogame receiving an 8.8/10, a similar phenomenon with a similar flavor of torture. Kyle then forgoes sleep entirely, spends his dwindling energy on conceiving a new series, growling to himself, “Wait ‘til they getta loada this!” The next day he publishes the first episode of his new series “Cuz Seven Ate-Point-Ate Nine” to much critical chagrin.

[@jecobian]

Kyle, I am and Elyse is really the only reason I watched gametrailers videos

[@leonidas6682]

Thank god he left them so we can see actual good content rather then his talent being wasted on lazy group streams.

[@mrshmuga9]

@@leonidas6682 It’s not like he couldn’t have made this content too, right? I mean he used to host the GT podcast and write weekly shows with skits at GT.

[@leonidas6682]

@@mrshmuga9 I remember one thing that happened when he was still there. He was doing a few popular single let's play streams a week. They were very popular. And then he made a comment just before he left that he no longer can do them because they as a group decided that will focus on doing more group streams and no single person streams. Who knows why but I would assume that a lot of ppl like me only really cared for Kyles personality and a few of them for salty he was very popular so needed to have more group streams to cover their own lack of entertaining personas. Best of GT before easy allies was. Final Bosman. First 15 and any stream or scetch that had Bosman in it with Damiani and Huber hype was great. Huber syndrome sucked in easy allies era. And easy allies stopped putting the quality effort into their content. Just streamed. I remember once clickihg on a video and it was that longer haired alternative type guy that's a bit fruity californian playing the keyboard musical instrument in a front yard.l for no reasons. That's when I was like yeah nah.. this gone downhill. Was a lot of things with Brandon making Lego I think or talking about Disney stuff. Easy allies was just weird. They were getting so much patreon money they were really pissing it always just doing random lazy things. Playing board games and stuff

[@matto-san7631]

Between the backdrop, the kind of fancy sweater, and the video game talk, this has school picture day energy.

[@Gamescook]

Can't find that red Rica Lewis sweater anywhere. Vintage?

[@francesoxberry6816]

I'm here for this

[@iPervy]

Its funny how seeing Kyle even wearing something even slightly resembling a turtleneck has me expecting some German.

[@isaacddestroy3674]

Kyle just talking about what’s interesting to him I’m the moment or what’s been on his mind is peak Bosman. And the drawings, bonus bits and just general editing and effects style is just so nostalgic and eternally engaging.

[@isaacddestroy3674]

Call it whatever you like bro, if you’re having fun we are having fun. L&R

[@justindenton599]

Can't wait to buy a "Don't Touch that Slime Bobby!" t-shirt featuring an image of cartoon Bobby Kotick looking at a glob of green slime with a speech bubble where he's saying "I think I'll touch the slime" and carton Kyle Bosman screaming from the distance "No Bobby! Don't you touch that slime Bobby!"

[@michaelmoratto]

That'd have to wrap around from the back to the front

[@guidohywuler9916]

Kyle, I needed this show. Thank you. Still rewatching The Final Bossman every year.

[@chrisdell2072]

The episode endings were always the best

[@Schyz]

I'm so happy you are back to this format, I know it's a lot of work compared to streaming, but each one of them is a masterpiece.

[@CozyWizardVibes]

So good to have you back with a regular show Kyle. Love it so far!

Thursdays are now my favorite day of the week, ty Bosman

[@demonpirate5453]

[@ultimadrago]

I wasn't ready for the Crash Bandicoot "Woah!" lol 9:05

[@aslakbjercke]

You've still got it. Your unique energy, combined with your tight script which almost seems improvised because of your impeccable timing, build up and convincing deliverence is best in the biz, if you ask me.

[@EricJackson]

Always love the Bonus Bits. "3 or more than 3?" Love it.

[@Banditolore]

Awesome coverage Kyle! I'm enjoying this new format to discuss industry shenanigans.

[@mattlandry]

Kyle is such a creative genius. I'm sure he has big things he wants to move on to but I can't get enough of just hearing his interesting thoughts like this. Nobody else on the planet can fill this void.

[@Davey_Cakes]

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 Remaster was a pitch perfect game. Gave me and many others EXACTLY what we wanted. An experience that touches on the classics and helps us relive them in full glory. It’s a miracle we still get those pure experiences.

[@clausewitzianwar]

Probably your best episode yet. This one really feels like a classic Final Bosman episode.

Sherk randomly being inserted in each episode will always be a good joke.

[@isaacddestroy3674]

[@franklinbrooksstoppedcomme3267]

LOL, that end bit caught me off guard, and I loved it! XD

[@fincampbell]

Kyle knew how much he would rile me up with the suggestion of a right analog stick in a Crash game. He knew it and he did it anyway.

[@hoyoungwon]

Gentlemen, the Final Bosman...is back 👏

[@ThunderRazorYT]

Also need to randomly bring back the Binya Binya glitch during other updates just so you can update again in a few days to 'fix' it... again. Keeps that Binya Binya convo going, baby!

[@DeesertFox416]

Kyle, bro you are one of a kind. That Binya Binya call-out knocked ME off a cliff. Ahhhhhhh....

[@RichHomieBodhi]

Binya Binya reference just made me bump the Gulla Gulla island theme song on my speakers.

[@Kango234]

Just reading this comment was enough to make me realize how much of that song I still remember.

[@milesmorkri]

working at an Activision-owned Call of Duty development studio was rouuuuugh. i'm under NDA until the day i die, but suffice to say, things are soooo much more tumultuous on the inside than people realize. setting aside crunch and other poor work conditions (hey how about some game dev unions), we worked in fear that at any minute our projects would get canned (which happened twice in the span of 7 months), or that it would be taken away and given to a different studio. it is insulting that while a MAJORITY of ATVI employees are contract/temp workers, upper management is receiving multi-million dollar bonuses on top of their extremely high salaries. the AAA game industry is unsustainable.

[@Kizaru3314]

I'm not going to lie, been away from games for a while due to other commitments -- recently popped back into Easy Allies. Those podcasts just aren't the same without Kyle.

[@joshuawiljanen3403]

Agreed. I'd recommend the MinnMax podcast. It's my new favorite since Kyle left Easy Allies.

[@thejoshway764]

Why did he leave

[@joshuawiljanen3403]

@@thejoshway764 I think part of it was that he wanted to travel the world but Covid prevented that.

[@yoloalchemist]

Of course they’re not the same without him. But I’d hate the notion that just because he doesn’t host them anymore that automatically means they’re bad. They’re simply a different thing now. It’s up to each to like them or not, but I can already say Jones has been really good lately.

[@idrago01]

@@yoloalchemist let's be honest their podcast is pretty bad, i gave it a chance but it's boring and most of what they talk about is out of date

This one and Action Buttton are the two channels I stayed subscribed to all this time just in case one day they became more active.

[@PintsofGuinness]

yo i unironically want a tony hawk battle royale now.

[@RoyalGoldPretzels]

The Sly Cooper 4 mention brought back the memory of how I remember thinking it had done well the month it launched in the US. It actually made it onto the NPD chart that month, but it was right at the time where the industry was starting to shift in such a way that it didn't even matter if your game managed to chart, it wasn't enough to keep the series going. Heck if you look up that same NPD chart for Feb 2013 it's an interesting oddity to look back on in general. Fire Emblem Awakening also launched that same month and didn't chart, but performed in a way that it's the first title people say really hit it off with the Western audience. And then at the top of that chart is Dead Space 3, the Dead Space people point to as one of those games responsible for ending the franchise it came from commercially.
