The calendar just flipped over into a new year, so it only makes sense that we chat about what the best video games of 2017 were. In order to make the conversation great, I invited SIFTD's Shane Satterfield to Santa Monica to talk about what we thought were the cream-of-the-crop titles of the pre...

Happy New Year!
I hope this letter finds you all very well, and that your respective holiday vacations were enjoyable, restful, and fattening. Yes, fattening, because it’s probably cold out where you are, and who doesn’t like to sit on the couch and eat all day instead of going outs...

One night over Christmas vacation, while my family was hanging out at my mom's, I set up some equipment in a spare bedroom and, one-by-one, asked everyone that was there to come talk to me about New Year's Resolutions. Do they believe in them? Do they think they're worth anything? Do they have on...

With CLS two-thirds closed down for the Holiday Season (CLS and Side Quest are both on hiatus until early January, although Fireside Chats trucks along uninterrupted), I figured you might be a little bored. As promised a couple of weeks ago in a letter to the audience, I've the...

Hi!
Last week, I put Episodes 1-5 of CLS: Fireside Chats together into one, imageless YouTube video, because so many people were requesting the show there. It did incredibly mediocre traffic, but that doesn't matter; lots of people appreciate it, and I wanna keep it going.
So, the seco...

Hey All,
Work is (finally) done for the year, and I'm headed to Real America with Erin and Lola tomorrow to see family.
I'll be scarce until the New Year, but wanted to show my appreciation for all of you with this brief video.
Happy Holidays, and thanks for everything. -Colin
I don't know if this is useful for any of you here, since many of you get early access to Fireside Chats upon release, but I wanted to let you know that -- in response to a desire for Fireside Chats on YouTube -- I've come up with a solution that I think works best.
I'm batching together epis...

I hope you're all doing great.
As you probably know by now, I like to over-communicate with you guys and gals about what's happening, so I figured a brief post about what the plans are for CLS over the holidays would be handy.
You may remember that, earlier in the ...
Today's episode of Fireside Chats features my old friend from IGN and The Comedy Button, Brian Altano. Brian and I have a frank talk about "The Joke" that spawned CLS to begin with, and discuss our differences over what happened, how it was handled, and its lasting effects. We also find plenty of...
