Greg Miller And Friends Quit Jobs At IGN, Start Kinda Funny Games Channel On YouTube

Greg Miller, Colin Moriarty, Nick Scarpino, and Tim Gettys are starting off 2015 with a huge change in their lives. The four men behind the Kinda Funny YouTube channel have quit their jobs at gaming-oriented entertainment website IGN to focus their sole attention on that channel and launch a new one called Kinda Funny Games.

The Kinda Funny Games channel will feature daily let’s play videos, a new gaming podcast called The Kinda Funny Gamescast, and a streaming morning show via Twitch called Colin & Greg Live. The Kinda Funny team has also created a separate Patreon

account for their new channel so fans can fund the four guys’ video game-themed initiative separate from their original channel. Supporters on Patreon will gain early access to things like exclusive podcast episodes before the content is made available for free on YouTube.

In addition to the Kinda Funny Games channel, Miller, Moriarty, Scarpino, and Gettys will continue to update their original Kinda Funny channel with content in the form of new web series and pop culture news coverage. The team also plans to keep making current fan-favorites like The GameOverGreggy Show.

“I’ve loved working at IGN for the past eight years, but the Internet’s changed,” Miller said in a release. “As Kinda Funny, we have the chance to create and connect with our audience every day. That’s why I’m excited to get out of bed in the morning. This isn’t just a community; this is a family.”

“It’s a strange feeling to turn the page in our lives and strike out on our own, but now is the time to do it,” Moriarty explained. “We love our audience, we love making content for them, and now, we can focus entirely on an enterprise aimed squarely at their interests.”

The Kinda Funny channel boasts over 83,000 subscribers, and the new Kinda Funny Games channel currently has just over 3,000.
