More than a year ago, the four of us -- Greg Miller, Colin Moriarty, Nick Scarpino, and Tim Gettys -- left our cushy, secure jobs at IGN.com to strike out on our own. We figured it would be a good idea to try to do Kinda Funny, our one-time side project, full time. The success we enjoyed in 2015, thanks entirely to your love and support, proved to us that we made the right call. Hell, we even managed to snag Kevin Coello as our very first non-founding employee thanks to your overwhelming patronage. Now Greg and Nick don’t have to kill themselves setting up every shot and editing every video. So that’s pretty cool. Thank you.

As you probably know, a major Kinda Funny initiative was (and is) Kinda Funny Games, a spinoff of our original YouTube channel and Patreon. Kinda Funny itself was originally founded as a way for us to vent our non-gaming passions; Kinda Funny Games is an offshoot that allows us to focus on what we’re unequivocally known best for: video games. With some 40 years’ combined experience in the video game industry between the four of us, we’d like to think that we have a pretty formidable amount of knowledge and passion when it comes to our favorite pastime. Perhaps we can share that knowledge and passion with you like… all the time? Something like that.

So, think of Kinda Funny Games as a trifecta, a holy trinity of gaming goodness. Our flagship is the Kinda Funny Gamescast, our weekly video and audio podcast about all things (console) gaming. Accompanying the Gamescast is our daily nerdy morning show offering -- Colin & Greg Live -- that airs each morning on Twitch. And in the last half of 2015, we finally delivered what you’ve been asking for the most in the form of a spiritual successor to Podcast Beyond called PS I Love You XOXO. Thanks to you, the world has a new No. 1 PlayStation podcast.

No matter what tier you support us at here on Patreon, know that your subscription (which is what we consider it; “crowdfunding” is so blasé) allows us not only to eat, pay our utilities, and make rent, but to produce better content for you, as well. Kinda Funny simply wouldn’t be a reality without the support of thousands of our biggest, most ardent fans on Patreon, and for that, we thank each and every one of you. So whether you just give us a buck a month, or subscribe for early access to the podcasts, or even up the ante to one of our higher, premium tiers, know that you’re part of the engine that makes Kinda Funny go.

2015 was The Year of Kinda Funny. Fuck it. Let’s make 2016 that, too.

With Love, -Colin
