Video Game Olympics - Delayed Input w/ Kyle Bosman

[@Perfectlyfineok]

Mom…Dad…. I need a 10 second clip of you in your living room doing normal stuff. No you may not ask what this is about.

[@twincherries6698]

In the end it turns out he actually did commit to the bit

[@ManyDeserts]

Kyle never disappoints with his weird and special way of putting thoughts into words lol

[@RickGenis]

Just like Tom Waits, yep!

[@ThespianageActs]

Delayed Input with Kyle Bosman gets gold for Best Shrek Cameo Show.

[@guitaromania1345]

You're not drawing a false comparison. We're all tired of the bullshit and you're the only one with the emotional intelligence to call it out. Thank you Bosman I needed this

[@WeltallZero]

I think obviously fake and scripted enthusiasm is less of a "COVID19 issue", as it is a "game industry issue" that COVID has either robbed us of the patience to put up with, or simply made (even) more obvious. Particularly on point with the comment about Sakurai character presentation videos, which are always pitch perfect in tone. I wish all game marketing was like that.

[@Xbob42]

Man, when Kyle is hitting all cylinders he's hysterical.

[@isaacddestroy3674]

Bonus Bits are returning to the wild, nature is healing!

[@Alic4444]

freeeeeee

[@nilehardin993]

I don't know if I fully "get" Kyle Bosman but I will stick around until I do.

[@St_Fish]

I'm so glad someone is finally filling the need for experimental video game journalism.

[@nyrisj]

I will continue to tell everyone who will talk to me about your content so long as you produce.

[@sidsigsiro]

This episode feels like a fever dream Very engaging content. 8.9

[@emlea555]

This was wonderful! I couldn’t quite put my finger on what felt so weird about this years Olympics and “family prom effect” sums it up absolutely perfectly

[@DangerSimmons]

I've never jived more with Kyle than this episode.

[@timytimeerased]

Man sometimes I have those same thoughts and I wish I had the talent of Kyle to make a good video about it :) So right about BS scripted excitement VS simple regular dev talk. I feel japanese devs are so much more natural in their PR than americans. Its like they’re not ashamed of talking specifics, they don’t need to dumb down everything to « Cool, amazing, exciting, LETSGOOOO »

[@Ayoul]

I think there's some confirmation bias here about japanese PR. We remember the best presentations like Sakurai's, but some of them drag a real long time and are really dull. Both ends of the spectrum have their flaws IMO.

[@timytimeerased]

@@Ayoul I said more natural, I didn't say literally every japanese dev is improvizing. They're not, but what they say makes sense most of the time, it isnt buzzwords, they don't speak 5 min about nothing "We really care about our community and we're as excited as you and we wanna hear your feedback and we love you and we're in this together" and just state what the game is, where they are right now, whats the plan. You can find Sakurai dull, but he never waste people's time, he just goes into extreme detail about the GAME not the excitement of the game, not the "hype" for the game, he talks about the game itself.

[@Eohnni]

I was 9 and a half minutes in before I realized we weren't doing the Olympics thing

[@hubhikarilives]

Subversion of expectations is my favorite facet of comedy

[@Dashx64]

You have no idea how much final bosman ending gutted me. I love this channel, thanks kyle

[@ginsYT]

In the periods after The Final Bosman (and Bosman at Home), I watched other stuff and slowly started to cope with it having ended. Life goes on, channels come and go. Sometimes I thought back and wondered why the end of that show was a big deal at all. Episodes like this remind me why that was such a big deal. Thank you for doing this again.

[@nopestproductions]

The Tone, The "content", everything about how he describes Joker in ME is just perfection. He knows exactly how empty soul crushing content is produced.

[@Aragorn7884]

That Ubisoft exec. sounds like a Bond villain unveiling his evil plan 🤣

[@atmosphericfloatything2472]

Terrific episode Bosman. I'm pretty much with you on every point made.

[@NerdPicnic]

I follow your work since you started at GT ( I'm Vinnie0003) and I'm really glad and happy to have your input about this kind of subjects! I've been talking about the way many companies communicate with us, not only in English but also in my native language (Portuguese) and almost always feels like they are trying to "guide our hands" towards their products like if we don't know what their are talking about and they know what's better for us to consume because our brain doesn't work or even exist in the same plane as theirs, so "eat that info like that", put of touch and impersonal and made to work in full with your limbic system and finally, give your hard earned money to us because, well you are nothing but a wallet to us. Please be excited 😆

[@TrevorNickell]

I still recoil like a church lady whenever Kyle cusses. 😅

[@TheKavernacle]

Just a comment about the Fiji stuff. Weirdly Rugby Sevens (which is what they play at the Olympics), not Rugby, is Fiji’s national sport. And why I understand what the commentator was saying (even though is sounds silly because winning the gold medal won’t fix Covid) is because in England the Football team doing well was massive for the country - just in terms of being a big lift for everyone after facing a year of so much shit. Maybe it’s hard to understand as an American but the entire of the England just lives and breathes football. Due to many teams having origins from unions, factories and general working class institutions people are just so attached to the sport. It’s nothing like the franchises of the US for NFL and NBA. And the team were such great role models since many of them come from poor backgrounds all over the country. I assume the population of Fiji feels a similar way about winning the Rugby gold two olympics in a row. Yes won’t solve any issues, won’t stop Covid, won’t increase vaccinations - but I think a lot of people are feeling shitty and sport is just a nice thing to take pride in as a nation (as much as I think countries as a concept are stupid) sorry for the rant Bossie - love all your work (I do share your sentiment about the Japanese population being screwed over. 80% of them didn’t even want the olympics)

[@Steve-Fallon]

This was a weird episode. But I also think this was your best episode yet. The parents gag is top tier.

[@BaltzerH]

Kyle Bosman

[@elconejofunco]

I have the same phone case as Kyle's dad, so that's where my life is at right now.

[@MarcelE80]

I'm so grateful for this. Thank you Kyle

[@valenpro9512]

There are so many layers to this video. That's good writing, man.

[@Richie_Godsil]

Kyle should have tried to call Disney Infinity Jack Sparrow, he could have definitely gotten DI Jack's number from Brandon Jones

[@rhenevers5229]

I've really missed this non-sequitor sense of humor of yours! Gives me many flashbacks to the old Gametrailer day.

[@nuthinguseful]

"it's okay to just be okay" - this is some good fucking advice right now AAA+++

[@HylianTicipated]

Really great episode, man.

[@mrchiefbs]

This video is incredible Kyle. Tying in real life with video games in a very mature and insightful way. Each video you break down real emotions in a genuine way. I feel like you're talking to me. I love delayed input and the evolution of Kyle Bosman. Wish we could hang out and talk about games once the pandemic cools down... if it ever does.

[@Richie_Godsil]

Delayed Input with Kyle (my life is a regular hell but your encouragement means a lot to me) Bosman officially my favorite part of my Thursday, brings me back to those weekly The Final Bosman vibes from back in the day LnR, Kyle

[@AlleyKatPr0]

*NEWSFLASH* Gamers like being spoken to like human beings!

[@smashedupwards]

i need to hear the conversation kyle had with his parents for this setup, "yeah just do your normal stuff but while were on the zoom call, no it's not stupid, mom its for my show, see dad gets it.. just please, for me, just act normal. mom we talked about this, don't look at the web cam, it's fine just, this is gold just keep acting normal I only need like 10 seconds of footage."

[@metromantis]

Welterweight? Kyle you're a heavyweight in our books. Loving the new show!

[@eugenes3395]

I wanted to support you before but i was busy af and found no time, BUT this episode forced me to go to patreon and support you talented beast! Keep on doing!

[@MikeyP84-q5z]

By far the best show on KZbin!

[@drd7of14]

The Master of Meta strikes again

[@EbbFlowe]

“We’re doing video game olympics” I love how just Kyle and Mucho constitutes a we’re lol

[@BloodlessWolf]

Kyle was describing the end to Contagion with the family prom thing.

[@invalidude]

Peak content. I just love how pure Kyle is. His analogies are so PG.

I love the fact that the title of this episode was just a bit.

[@starfoxconfessor]

I’ve started to learn that most of his titles are rarely what the episode is actually about

[@twincherries6698]

Honestly relieved lol

@@twincherries6698 Yeah, I was honestly, that I was going to enjoy a long section of that.

[@xsoujirox]

This may be the best episode yet.

[@gaffyh1745]

Good job Kyle, this was great and really creative. Loved it.

[@DavidAniki]

This was such a creative video Bosman. Great job!

[@prettybird4322]

Good to see you Are back on KZbin . Missed you

[@GoodPunk]

That episode was sooo amazing. I really love the chaotic energy but still getting to the point. :D

[@rikkuricky]

I love this. The bit matching the theme of this week's show got me so good

[@FBNL]

very good episode - hits the nail on the head

[@michaelgranger146]

I love this show so much

[@juliobonetti]

This keeps getting better. Actually, Kyle, you never miss - so this continues to be cool

[@machinejuice5965]

damn, dude i forgot how brilliant your comedy is at times. it really is everything

[@PaulSSalazar]

I was so baffled by seeing E3 summer camp in Space Jam. It just wasn't the year to see that.

[@macias1236]

"I lost family members due to covid... BUT WE WON THE GOLD MEDAL BABBBBYYY!!!"

[@archonrex5600]

*Thank you* Kyle. Can't even put in words how good Delayed Input is. Laughed so hard at the corporate gaming talk bits. Genius. And just, _real,_ down to earth. Wonder why the gaming industry/corps/bigwigs sometimes just lack simple common sense and humanity. Companies..

[@acuity1980]

5:27 thank you for clearing that up, Kyle. I was indeed wondering about that. You mind reader.😆

[@OrangeVision]

A+ tier bit. Actually chuckled at 00:55

[@LearnedFingers]

Loved the format

[@idrago01]

this is the type of episode ur fans want welcome back

[@SamtheLPer]

ok the scoring bit got me

[@bywatterson175]

God this is so good. What a treasure Bosman is.

[@orangeclover21]

Giving away the awards AND an athlete.

[@vgFaisal]

Best EP yet

[@Badalight]

I knew exactly which Xavier clip he was going to throw to.

[@plufim]

Also: bits within bits within bits

[@MadMaxBLD]

Kyle, I so much agree 100% with what you said. Human values matter most right now, not faking it till you make it. I’d also rather not have something that is a shell of what it’s supposed to be.

[@joaofreitas2899]

This is so good Kyle, congrats.

[@KineBuds]

Never change Kyle

[@JasonBRhoades]

I already had this thought, but now it's even more pronounced, that I think Kyle Bosman is really going to enjoy the FFXIV live letters. Maybe not the WHOLE live letter, but just the general vibe and production of it!

[@AshrielDrummer]

The real meta: Being okay is okay. Thanks Kyle!

[@nateriver7848]

I think the reason why the announcer mentioned Covid when Fiji won was to say that it's a morale boost for the country. Smaller countries like mine see Olympic medals as a very big deal, and to win one is like one good news in a year full of bad ones.

[@undercurrent32]

Adorable episode

[@Chimwizlet]

Last years Realms Deep was one of the best gaming events I've seen; every trailer had gameplay, it had a ton of interviews that were actually interesting (mostly because they were pre-recorded and weren't scripted), and there was little to none of the bullshit marketing. If you're hungry for events that feel less fake defnitely check out the next one in August.

[@Kbohls157]

Jump cutting for messing up 'similarly' to 'and just like...' is pure gold

[@HeyYoHelloHi]

Oh don’t think I didn’t notice this tie-dye also, well done sir.

[@Stereohead228]

"joker from mass effect: legendary edition" looool

[@alsoknownas885]

This is hilarious thank you Boseman

[@Nikleas]

The video game olympics awards 40 categories with Bronze/Silver/Gold, I would legit totally watch that…

[@mattlandry]

Jesus christ bosman this show is absolute fire

[@Nifava]

I'm currently watching the 7th minute of this video and I'm worried Kyle might not have time to go through the 40 gaming categories medals in the 5 minutes he has left. So far he has awarded only a bronze medal.

[@SodaPopBot]

I’ll see you on the Battlefield, Bosnan.

[@wallacelovecraft8942]

Great unique episode. Funny.

[@ブタでよろしく]

Can't wait for part 2 of the Summer Project Ice saga

[@AveryCope]

Great job Kyle!

[@jonathandorozowsky4005]

Insincerity will eventually destroy everything we love.

[@timokobe]

Best show on KZbin

[@hylianhaxorus9689]

This was… cinematic perfection

[@Myoldusernamewasgood]

Kyle's votes should count for more.

[@8rb1]

Amazing episode.

[@kendawooda]

All the sports had this exact same problem last year. There was no fans so they just put crowd noise into the broadcast and it gave the games a weird forced vibe. Would rather just listen to it the way it is then try to replicate the “normal” way

[@RickGenis]

Tom Waits, to me, is a purveyor of the downtrodden. He likes to sing praises to the underbelly of the world. The forgotten. In that, I think you two are alike. You celebrate the 4s and 5s of a game. 15 Minute games is a remarkable example of this: you put a highlighter on the weird and expose it in a playful way that doesn't cast shame like so many like to do. Even the games you, yourself, make are an inspiration to me in my game making career in the same way that Tom Waits is to me in my story crafting. You both pinpoint a uniqueness in the world and celebrate that uniqueness in your own unique and charming way. Being compared to Tom Waits is one of the highest caliber comments I can give, my friend. Kudos to you.

[@tylerstravis]

As a massive longtime fan of Tom, and not nearly as long as Kyle (Kyle hasn't been in the game for 50 years), I was ready to tell you how you got them both all wrong. I'm happy to see that this is a drastically different take than I was expecting you to take. Nice take :)

[@RickGenis]

@@tylerstravis Hahaha Tom Waits has been my favorite musician for about 13 years now. I'm sad to say I got into his music far later in the game than I'd have liked, considering the first time I had heard him and loved his music was when 12 Monkeys came out and "Earth Died Screaming" was on the soundtrack I owned but didn't get into him until after I started working in record stores at 23. I'm assuming you were expecting someone to say it's because he's abrasive or weird sounding? Bosman certainly doesn't sound like "the cookie monster" (which I find far more attributable to Loui Armstrong than Waits). Waits is also the perfect blend of that weirdness but toned down, unlike some of his inspirations like Captain Beefheart - creating a more suitable experience to dip one's toes into the avant garde. Not unlike King Crimson or Tool is a good first step into the wildness of Prog rock, rather than delving straight into Gentle Giant or Omar Rodriguez-Lopez.

[@tylerstravis]

@@RickGenis I'm lucky enough to have seen him live about a decade ago :) I was expecting someone to take there persona aspect of it.

[@RickGenis]

@@tylerstravis Yeah I'm pretty jealous. My old manager (RIP) used to always brag about having driven to the mid west to see him and that he loved that Waits would stomp, and dust would fly up into the air. Sounds so awesome. Yeah I could see that, I suppose. They do both carry personas. Though Kyle is far more prone to bits than Waits is. What's your favorite album?

[@tylerstravis]

@@RickGenis yeah, I had to fly to Arizona from Portland with little warning. No luggage, just the shirt on my back. A mood listener, bit I'd probably have to go with Bone Machine :)

[@Animenji]

Did you purposefully pick a shirt that's an off-color version of your background? .......GENIUS!!!!

[@justahuman4862]

That's a Korean drama show " it's ok to not be ok". Good show.

[@Samtheman229]

Post-workout Kyle is best Kyle. Good stuff dude

[@Samtheman229]

Love the second angle

[@stellar8healing]

This killed me 😂 Thanks for this

[@metalgearbill8827]

Kyle do you ever watch Limmy? He’s a Scottish comedian turned streamer. You and him together would be something else

[@darthmarth87]

The western game industry seems wholly out of touch with the people who go out of their way to tune into these things. Its been that way for a while though, I think the covid depression effect just makes it all less ironically amusing.

[@jSIMSj1985]

Kyle your a genius. 👍

[@MsLottie84]

We’ve all peaked behind the curtain one too many times and now we’ve caught a glimpse of the keys turning slowly in their butts
