Why We Love Video Games - A Conversation with Colin

[@ntomatas1]

Give any straight adult male two action figures when the world isn't watching and he will make one punch the other. Guaranteed.

[@JROD082384]

Would a gay adult male make one action figure bitch slap the other action figure? ;)

[@streetz180]

Lmfao so true

[@satyanjoy]

Amen brother

[@NeOmega83]

Im 32 straight adult and I would do it even with the world looking at me. #Noregrets #nevergrowup

[@YashuaElohim7]

Yes yes and yes, I'm 34 years young and I still fine myself playing with my 7 year old toys and he loves all the old ones like Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the point where he sometimes has to ask me back for them. Lmfaooo, it's kool to be young at heart.

[@BiggCMan]

"I realized for the rest of my life i'm gonna need these games. And everyone that's involved in my life has to know and accept that these are a huge part of my life. And if they don't, too bad" The most important sentence for any gamer in the world.

[@bartkomedy]

I was bullied a lot when I was younger, from about 4th grade until maybe 9th grade. I read a lot, I wrote a lot, and I loved learning and that led people to bully me. Videogames were my way to get back at the other kids. They were my escape from troubles, from the assholes out in the world. I have so many fond memories of playing games and so many bad ones of not. I actually met my best friend with videogames. The games have always been there for me when real people haven't and for that reason I will always love gaming.

[@timhamann8517]

Whoever is editing this new season of "A Conversation with Colin" is really good, (I'm assuming it's Nick or Kevin?). From a production standpoint these are some of the best videos I've seen you guys come out with so far. Keep it up!

[@tim_brodonnell]

I love how this conversation spiraled into Colin talking about what people would do on ships when they were the only means of traveling between continents. This is why I love A Conversation with Colin, and this is why I believe this series will continue (despite Greg stating otherwise). Keep up the great work guys!

[@doublejumpa]

HOLY FUCK, THEY CHOSE MY QUESTION!

[@MidEastBeast99]

This is BY far my favorite Conversation with Colin. Period. GG GREG AND COLIN

[@Cerepr0]

I love when these two guys have conversations. Especially when it goes of the rails and they have honest reactions on each others weird shit. haha

[@aznxCOOLxguy]

Finally another Conversation with Collin. You guys really need to do more of these videos again.

[@Newadventuresinpony]

Another solid episode. Can't believe this series is going to end. It's great.

[@livelyfilms9578]

I'm with many others here in saying that I'm a bit disappointed this show won't be continuing. I just now discovered Conversation with Colin and I've been marathoning them like crazy. I like the fact that Colin has a chance to really go off and give monologues about crazy stuff. I don't feel like he has the same opportunity on the GOG show, so this series will be sorely missed. But whether this show continues or not, I enjoy your content and wish you all the best.

[@draven_sword7092]

I started gaming to stay out of drugs and the party scene in my town ;P I always loved art, I loved writing, and I loved being entertained ;) ;) ;) So it all worked out. Gaming really started transforming for me after I bought Battlefield 3. (My first online FPS) I later joined a clan, met some guys and we've known eachother for almost 4 years now :D They're my best friends, and the only people outside my family that I consider family :) Anyways! I love gaming because of the way people can express themselves, as well as how I can express my own self through the games that I know and love to play :)

[@BamBoJam]

This series is the reason why I'm even subscribed to you guys in the first place! I have been a subscriber for a very long time and now your telling me that you will end this series??

[@bluecentauro1]

I really enjoy watching a conversation with Colin :)

[@MilkyInfinity]

Games have their own scientific laws, goals to achieve, theorys of how the world is and what we can do with it, social interactions between characters, an explanation of a lifes purpose, an ownership of what the world has to offer, doing something directly that accomplishes a tasks....the lives inside video games are like little parallel realities we can control to an extent....our brain truly feels this stuff

[@Patrick-bo2ct]

What is that beat at the beginning and end!? I love it!

[@MrGreen626]

Why does this have to be the last season? By far, this is the reason why I subscribed to this channel in the first place. This show should be a staple of your channel, and something you continue and modify for quite sometime. Having said that, I completely understand you wanting to change directions; or just flat out being tied of this show. It's your channel, and you obviously have the right to run it as you please. Still, I enjoy this show!

[@0815name0815]

I actually thought about this myself today, why I play videogames and why I love them. And I think the keyword for me is immersion. to really immerse yourself in a world, by also using your imagination ofcourse, is what makes gaming so great for me. But also my competitive need is important through playing like poker for example, but over all I still a have to go with your answer that other then that I just don't know why I'm so attached to them. Thanks for reading. David

[@itachi65ful]

Greg you're not the only who played with action figures well into his teens. I think it just that some people have more of a imagination than other. Also I remember hearing somewhere that's a Dev team actually did that to come up with ideas for a game before.

[@filmgob]

I had WWE figures I'd play with well into early teens, my sister does not let me forget.

[@Mavryk]

I'm in the same boat as Colin, I don't know how or why I love games any more than how and why I love Star Wars, it's just been a part of my life for so long that just interests me on so many levels. While I stopped playing with action figures, I kept playing with Lego (as in creating stories with minifigs not just building) well into High School until other class mates found out and ridiculed me for it. While I don't play with them any more, I still buy the large sets to build and still get a thrill from building the complicated and challenging sets.

[@ThePhilipoconnor]

Please keep conversation with Colin going. It's quality. Plus my hometown was mentioned in this episode, Liverpool England. Not that its important or relavent in any way, just thought it was cool ha.

[@jcnba28]

I love video games because it's a way for me to escape reality for awhile and experience a world that will never exist in our lifetime.

[@joemoore4665]

I love this channel so much :D

[@_Renzokuken_]

For me it´s pretty easy. i think when you have a big imagination, when you love stories, when you grow up with toys and cartoons. Games are all of those stuff together, cool stories with characters that can do awesome things (unreal things) and you get to control that. I agree with greg in that regard.

[@shafty]

I like games for so many reasons, but i think the most important and obvious ones are because they allow me to be anything I can't in real life, they allow me to free my mind in them and get in world's of unbelievable structure and history, and also because of the feeling I get when I go through a tough or any kind of level really after the 100th try that; sense of achievement is just amazing. Keep doing what you'r doing, your shows and contents are getting better and better really enjoying hearing your conversations and how some parts of em relate to what i live or what I experienced although i live all away in Algeria, Africa!!! lot of Love from across the ocean!!!!

[@JordReimer]

Love ya guys!

[@cyro789]

Probably too late to send in a submission but, I would love to hear Colin talk about the Toronto Maple Leafs. Thanks guys keep it up!

[@jackbauer5636]

Man- the last 2 minutes of that were sick!

[@jolucasher]

Favorite Conversation with Colin

[@MALDINGAS]

Greg, I get it, I did the same till around my 16s, totally get it.

[@browdy222]

Conquering the Uruk ranks in Shadow of Mordor right now and on Vita I just "platinumed" Mutant Mudds

[@Matthew-cm1ph]

4:50-5:00 is one of the funniest moments ever on this channel..... absolutley priceless

[@sidshekar]

7:06 funnest shit ever. haven't laughed this hard in a long time.

[@JakeAPoe]

I like games because when I was a kid my parents bought my brother and I a PS1 as consolation for my dad having to go overseas for a year for work. I was about 4 when this happened, so my formative years were spent playing Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon in addition to Pokemon on the GameBoy I already had, instead of playing little league baseball like my older brother.

[@TheApexHound]

Gonna miss this, haha

[@jaggerjavion6048]

Instablaster

[@Captain_Neckbeard]

My family got an NES when I was 4. I've been a gamer ever since.

[@Zeldaschampion]

Colin should do a documentary on the history of ancient gaming and post it on here.

[@TheHampster101]

Hella good conversation

[@Paul4AllSeasons]

cool video. one of my faves yet

[@karehansen3727]

The last toys i remember playing with TMNT, and then i got a NES and never looked back. I was 9

[@EmilioFahr]

*Raises eyebrow* "Yeah..." I love you guys.

[@0815name0815]

PS: really loved your video about RPG's to

[@thebetas6464]

You guys have to do a kinda funny animated series episode where greg shows a girl his action figures and there needs to be a scene with him painting a xena action figure like wonder woman with a jeweler eye and everything!!!!

[@cwatz1221]

Games are the ultimate form of entertainment. They can provide a story, they can provide competition, they can provide satisfaction and personal accomplishment, they can be a social activity, or they can just be a new and creative experience. That's not to say everyone needs all of these things from games, but at least one of these can apply to just about anyone.

[@johnreeder5323]

You guys are really cool and awesome!

[@WingedSoda]

Love this show

[@shingetsu10]

Mastersystem for life! ♡

[@craigzochsgametalk8304]

I was an only child growing up and for some reason I cannot recall me and this other kid Joe were always fighting in school and I was only in first grade. One fateful day my mom and I were coming home from the store and she saw this kid riding his bike in the alley behind our house and she invited him in to play with me before I could stop her and yes I tried to stop her, but to no avail. He came inside and we played my new NES entertainment system and we played a game called Gyromite for a couple hours and all I can remember is that we couldn't stop laughing every time we would squash the guy it made this great farting sound. Joe turned out to be my best friend for the next several years until my mother made me move far away, but that is one of my first video game memories and I'm not sure if that's why I love games, but I have loved them ever since. Also I think you guys are great and I was really disappointed when you guys left IGN since it was my one stop app for news about movies and video games, but now that I found and subscribed to this I'm happy again and I know I can just watch it through youtube, but one day if this all works out good for you guys ( and I think it will) you should try to get your own app on PS4 Great work guys I love what your doing and some day soon I'll be a paying subscriber

[@callumlaird1952]

I must say I played with action figures till I was 16-17 too. Think it was because of games and stuff becoming more and more popular with me and my friends. Slight urge to still play with figures.........maybe.

[@nebrotstraum1348]

Loved the judgemental looks Colin gave Greg while he was telling his action figure story. "I don't want to be judgemental" hehehehe Don't stop this show.

[@AndreAroyan]

Are you guys still taking topics? If you are, I would love to hear Colin talk and Ayn Rand and Objectivism

[@kuunami]

I like Colin. He always has something interesting to say.

[@Junkiespop]

Colin's a goddamn stud - never noticed his eyes before 'kinda funny' ... In all honesty.

[@jasonandrews7355]

No Ooooooh, keep the Convos with Colin!

[@calcal2145]

Why not continue this series. People love Conversation with Colin!

[@kryptonianBane]

you guys are heroes and I will follow you boys till time is out!!! hashtag1love

[@girthpapi]

Please, for the love of all things, don't let this be the last season. Please!

[@PaleShelter123]

I would love to see a spin-off show, A Conversation with Clements.

[@daynmitchell7543]

The star wars black series 6 inch figures are amazing

[@kryptonianBane]

you guys are heroes and I'll follow you boys till time is out!!! hashtag1love

[@thestad8]

this is great

[@dementedavenger2784]

I'm in the same boat as Greg. People give me shit for gaming a lot, but then sit on the couch for four hours watching sports. I need an interactive experience. I don't watch a lot of tv. I'd rather be involved.

[@DrTurdsley]

The action figure talk was great.

[@chardrive]

IT HAS RETURNED

[@Ymir252]

My GF totally understands i need time to play games so i get to play between the hours of 12am and 7am while she is asleep.

[@kingofkings32584]

I miss the kitchen could u guys go back instead the bar.please

[@BHow-lg9hr]

You guys should do a show playing Poker in the bar with the 4 of you.

[@BiggTonyStyle]

Action figures in high school...God bless Greg Miller

[@Playahstation]

Colin is the best.

[@LookingTheBest]

It's all cool Greg, I did the same thing at that age... And I'm only a few years older now haha

[@giannipoopoopants]

I can't help but think you guys could make a good Coversation with Colin video discussing your Tattoos. I'm only a casual fan so maybe you have already talked about them or maybe just aren't comfortable talking about them. After watching the goat episode it seems like you guys will go anywhere.

[@GolfturatGaming]

“When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” ― C.S. Lewis

[@godstriker8]

I really hope that all of the topics people submitted weren't video game related. They talk about games in so many outlets, the charm of the original seasons imo was the interesting perspectives on offbeat topics.

[@weemanbop]

Lol Greg "Potatoes"

[@NicholasLionRider]

2 questions about Conversation with Colin 1. Why are they selling out shooting this series in a loud, populated bar? Just to support that Follow the Liter series that no one really cares about since most of us don't live in California to go to the bar, are able to drink in general (being underage) or care about how to make drinks. The apartment was fine... 2. Why is this the last season of Conversation with Colin? This is what makes no sense at all. You guys quit your jobs...your youtube career is full time now...not enough people are supporting patreon or youtube to make sufficient money...along with this, the youtube business won't last forever, so why take one of the most popular series, and get rid of it? It makes 0 sense! Oreo Oration would make sense because there are limited amounts of US oreos left to review, Follow the Liter can only make x amount of drinks and who really cares about unboxings or random crap you bought? Is it that hard to record a 10 minute video of you and Colin talking from the thousands of topic ideas we submit? So why is THIS show of all things ending, makes no sense.

[@stevocon8521]

Gameovergreggy show pretty much is a conversation with collin but with other people talking too lol

[@alexanderchilton911]

Colin is already in two other of their podcast where he gives his opinion on things, so this series is pretty redundant. But I do like to get up close and personal with him, because he seems like a cool guy.

[@TrimblyWimbly]

This is the first episode that has had background noise. More than that I think they probably enjoy getting out of their house where they now do all of their work. If you want more content you can see an hour of colin talking every day on twitch.tv/kindafunnygames, see an hour and a half of conversation on the game over greggy show every week and an hour or more of content on the Kinda Funny Gamescast every week. Between the three and this season of Conversation with Colin you should get your fill of these guys talking lol.

[@elitegodfathers]

Conversation With Colin is now Colin and Greg every weekday on twitch.

[@Patthebaker321]

Don't think they're selling out, but I agree. They make money from us now. What do we want? More Coversation With Colin and yet they're getting rid of it. Doesn't make sense at all. Also wish they had went back to the original setting of this show with the kitchen in the background. P.S. I miss the broken fridge handle.

[@BiggCMan]

YEAAAAA!!!

[@AQArchMageA4S]

What was the answer? : S We don't know / action figures / travelling ?

[@shinigamimaster1971]

+Jin Guy sex

[@TheeVande]

how tall is Greg?

[@TheEr910]

I play games because I like to solve problems and test my reflexes. Also, I stopped playing with toys when I went to high school because my Dad told me too. I'm almost 40 and I still buy G.I. Joe, Transformers and Lego.

[@viewtifulman]

Thought I saw Punch Out on that TV in the back.

[@AsaLewisKing]

lol I love you guys!

[@Breegullbeak]

I stopped playing with action figures in the 8th grade when Super Smash Bros Brawl came out.

[@s15specv]

These new conversations are missing the magic the originals had.

[@dannymIufc]

Does anyone else wish Greg and Colin would continue to freelance Podcast Beyond? I honestly don't know why they can't. Probably down to time constraints, amongst other things. But damn, it sucks to be losing them from the show.

[@JROD082384]

It's definitely going to be the end of an incredible era in playstation podcasting.

[@dannymIufc]

I agree.... BEYOND!

[@tissot233]

I think there's problems from both sides. Time constraints as they jump all in for their own ventures. Plus IGN probably doesn't want to keep paying forever two freelancers to host their most popular podcast, that are not anymore "IGN faces".

[@JROD082384]

danifye Beyond!

[@JacobTheProtector]

danifye You probably know this by now but since they left IGN, Greg and Colin now have their own daily live Twitch stream on twitch.tv/kindafunnygames where they talk about video game news (and also some tv shows, movies, etc thrown in). It's awesome.

[@johnhorigan186]

I feel like the alcohol hit them in particular in this conversation hahah

[@picklexis]

Colin, your eyes are boootiful!

[@singh60]

games are the theatre of imagination... I stopped gaming after the n64 (unlike greg i never found mgs), and bar an encounter with nemesis i was done...till assassins creed and midnight club....so now im in the reverse position lol, and have a (un)healthy backlog

[@TheMikerocks85]

New Hampshire!

[@abnormatilus]

GSW game in the back

[@eganzale]

Some video games for me allow me to live out my fantasy dreams I know I never could in real life. One game that really does this for me is FIFA because I love to play futbol but kinda suck no pun intended hahahah, anyhow, I can do moves in that game I would never be able to pull off in real life. But believe it or not im strangely not afraid to tell people im a gamer whether im with my buddies or a girl I just meet.

[@bck-qo7te]

Can you guys start doing different topics that don't involve video games, I know that since you quit IGN you want to talk about this stuff, but I liked watching this show to hear Colin's political views or opinions on real world stuff. Still love the show though.

[@GCTRN]

100 percent agree!

[@BentleyBombers]

I feel like everyone likes video games at least a bit if they grew up exposed to them

[@94noj]

Anyone else watching the boxing match?

[@N4TE_94]

Why i like games you ask .. my answer is the same as Colins .. I DONT KNOW :D

[@thecodgamer57]

Where are all the hard hitting or interesting CWC? Like the time travel or the abortion epsoide or about the atotmic bombs epsoide or the gay rights issues or the ghosts epsoide. Im not very happy with the final season so far i hope the next epsoide changes that

[@SuperBearPoo]

Maybe you should lighten up?

[@Gdean25]

I'm still enjoying it but I know what you mean. It went from random interesting shit to just more random and sort of less interesting. Some of those that you mentioned are what hooked me to the channel!

[@singh60]

i think its awesome, i guess im glad they are folding it into the gameovergreggy show, but i'll also miss the format

[@chrisdogniez1725]

I think they're trying to cover topics that they previously weren't able to talk about because of their IGN jobs: Games and other media of the like. I also preferred the obscure philosophical topics, but it makes sense to me that they're focusing on these other things.

[@Patthebaker321]

Agree. Hopefully the rest of the season brings us more specific thought provoking topics

[@DannyB10uAwesome]

oh lord and I thought I was a nerd

[@JoshLuck95]

i love video games because............ i dont know ! but i do know they have helped me through my parents divorce and my mental health difficulties. i have always said if i was a millionaire i would want to provide video game consoles and games to whose who cant afford it.

[@CRAY0NEAT3R]

I expected a more romantic response to this question.

[@zempmasterz]

Colin looks exactly like nick kroll

[@FoxBodyBlake]

nothing nerdy about loving danganronpa
