It's funny how battleship and chess games were some of the most thrilling content at EZA for the past year haha. Wouldn't have expected it.
i agree with that.I'm sorry but I'm not excited about these nebulous goals for a fundraiser from a group of people that have done nothing to make me feel excited about their prospects over the last 12 months.
yes, it bothered me that a group whose entire existence, whose entire being, is crowd-funded.... needed to do a crowd-funding event. it's sad. i wish that they, after this amount of time, can work their... whatever they want of call it, into a business that has some type of sustainability without needing to ask
Oh weird, must be a country by country thing. Someone in chat told me that the price for shipping went down from 19 Euro to 3.40 by going through the UK shop instead.Well, that chess stream is completely holding me off my work (which is probably not great, but fuck it).
I am way too bad at chess to understand it properly. I technically know how to play chess in that I know all the moves and rules, but that's about it.
But I am still enjoying myself. The tensions is insane.
Edit:
Also, Brexit basically made it impossible for most European countries to buy any of the shirts/posters without paying customs/extra postal expenses. Which is probably not worth it for me. Customs + postal expenses always starts at 30-40 euro for me for anything that costs over 20 euro, so yeah. I am not going to try and get a shirt that's probably going to be at least 60 - 70 euro after all the extra costs. I don't even think it matters any more if I buy at the US or UK shop, it's going to be all the same. But it's probably a lot better for UK residents that roosterteeth has a US and a UK shop.
Obviously nothing that EZA can help and I do hope they sell a lot of them, but that cuts out quite a bit of people except if they want to take the risk. Maybe it's less extreme in some European countries, but I noticed that after Brexit they are way more strict (over here in Belgium at least) with checking imports from all over the world. I had to pay extra for shops that never got checked before, so I'm even less inclined to take a risk on this.
I'm sure shipping is way cheaper, but once things shipped from the UK get in the country customs gets a hold of them and put 21% VAT on them (on the article + shipping + postal costs). Our postal costs are insane, they depend on the price from 20 euro and up, but I believe they basically start at a 30 euro rate for everything from 20 - 100 euro or something (and this is for basically anything that gets taxed by customs). So that means that the full price will become (shirtprice + shipping + 30) * 1.21 (21% VAT extra).Oh weird, must be a country by country thing.

It's their anniversary week and it's not mentioned on the schedule (https://easyallies.com/), so I don't think so.Have the allies mentioned if they are reacting to the Future Games Show or the Microsoft indie stream this week?
yah, was wondering if I had missed any of the discussion during their streams. I know they said they have more "surprises" that are under embargo, so maybe some of it is tied to whatever may be announced later this week.It's their anniversary week and it's not mentioned on the schedule (https://easyallies.com/), so I don't think so.
But I haven't watched all that much of the streams, so I might have missed it.

Yeah, the shipping is £3.40 but the issue is the tarriffs that are now involved with getting it through the EU border now that the UK isn't in the Single Market. The problem MrMette will have is that he'll buy a shirt, it will get all the way to the border of his country and then Customs will send him a letter saying, give us another $20 or we won't release this parcel.

Hall of Great starts in 6 hours! What are the predictions for nominees?
Dungeons and Dragons is unbanned, perhaps Ian will bring it for a third time lucky?
I think someone's going to bring Arkham City, but I'm not sure if it'll be Huber or Jones.
Did they have a general rule how old the game has to be before it's eligible as a nominee? If BotW is old enough, then I could def see someone bringing that. Insta win though haha.I think tonight is the night someone brings Breath of the Wild.

I would shut that down so hard. One of the worst campaigns from Bungie's output, and the multiplayer barely held together by the seams and full of glitches, exploits, and generally poor balance. I have fond memories of it, don't get me wrong, but Halo 2 is one of the last choices for Halo games to be put there.
That's a thing???How long has the podcast had extra L&R for patrons? I'm a $1 patron but I just listen to the version that shows up in my YouTube subscriptions because it's simpler

I just heard about it from the EZX stream. They might have mentioned it on the podcast but I'm just so used to tuning out when they talk about patreon stuff.
Okay cool, thanks. It's a bit annoying because I don't get patreon emails for the podcasts and they don't seem to have a tag if I look on patreon

It's only been for a few weeks. It materialises as extra L&R questions.How long has the podcast had extra L&R for patrons? I'm a $1 patron but I just listen to the version that shows up in my YouTube subscriptions because it's simpler
Bens pictures killed me. Those outfits and his tiny little face lmao
What were the nominees and what won this HoG? Don't have time to watch it.
Just caught up. Excellent HoG, really brilliant. Both Ian and Don were amazing. Actually a really hard HoG for me but I think I'd go
3 points to Trials. 2 to God of War. 1 to Diablo 2. Love them all
