Right, right, early access. I've always been against it, but clearly I'm wrong. No surprise they went hard on it. Its working.
Yeah, they bounced back stupidly fast. The best number to me are the Patron numbers. Shows that they are organically growing, rather than having to rely on existing Patrons upping their pledge.
That betting special was EXCELLENT, so many great moments. I liked the "game show" approach honestly, more streamlined and better structured than last year's.
I need Ultima Brad to win, two weeks of Poptart the Clown would be hilarious!

The Betting special Intro was amazing! especially with the 8-bit feel and Rainy Day Ian's Anime transformation.
Oh and what about Benzilla about to attack Lego Brandon's Garage?
Ian should've asked for Brad to do the ending of a Kingdom Hearts game. Every character, every line, played by Brad.
Also
Also
surprise Barlog wowa
I think the reason why Ian didn't chose to have Brad do the Kingdom Hearts thing is because He knows Brad would be to excited to do it.
He had to humiliate him somehow!
Also, looks like Barlog was in on the numbers ending.
Ian's stakes are fun and inventive but not sure what the payoff would be for the viewers. I think that's something they need to think about when coming up with them. The clown thing is perfect.
For Patreon I really hope they plug it during E3. As I said that's when the most eyes are on them and last year the numbers didn't move at all, which felt like a big wasted opportunity. With the crazy momentum they have right now I can't imagine what a successful E3 would bring them on Patreon. Sky's the limit!

I imagine it's the reactionsthat are meant to be fun.
As in, he tells something to someone and they just lose it, someone else starts crying, someone else starts sweating and looks nervous as hell all the while you just see Brad walk away casually
To me that's what Box peek is. A 10 episode epic bonus bit
This Game Sleuth was great. It's crazy how much work Damiani puts into these.

Will the audio from Conference commentaries and end of day impressions be posted on podcast services this year?

Whew, this might be the craziest and biggest non-E3 day in Easy Allies history. So far we've had a 10/10 betting special that re-released the horrors of CHIM on to the world once again, a 10/10 Game Sleuth, a podcast with an Elyse reunion and another with E3 previews of Sony/Nintendo that all went live to the public today along with a Huber Hype approved promo for their coverage of E3. And then we can look forward to Kyle playing some likely bonkers game on Twitch later tonight. Also, today they reached a new record in both total # of Patrons and total amount earned per month. The equipment looks great and everything is clicking at just right the time.
They are so close to a studio now, and they have huge mometum entering E3 season this year. I think they might achieve that goal soon. Maybe adding one or two slots to the podcast sponsor/megasponsor tier would help?
This week has been crazy with EZA content, kudos to the team! But I want to give a special shout out for Damiani with another fantastic Friend Code and the Game Sleuth. Going the extra mile with that RE2 hoax.
Since they mentioned two Sleuths were in works, wonder if the next one also has something to do with RE or EGM?

IT'
You know I kinda wish these final bets would stop being so ridiculous.
I loved how they unvaulted chim and played into that whole situation
I understand why a lot of people don't like chim, I personally don't care for it either and it could have stayed dead for my part (although I loved the moment it was born).
I just try to enjoy it as much as I can and because I usually don't read chat, I will probably be fine.
That said, I do think they made the best of that whole situation.
Loved the betting special in general.

And they're filming a frame trap today that'll be up this weekend for early access and Monday for others!
2 frame traps in a week's time!
Whoa, when was this confirmed? I assumed it would just be Noodles and Broth.
It's on the website schedule and earlier today I was watching the Huber weds stream archive and mentioned he was on it and they're recording Friday (so today)
Nice! So much stuff coming up.
FYI Greg mentioned on KF Games Daily that the Allies (likely Jones and/or Huber) will be live on the Gamespot stage with them on Thursday at some point.
Brandon and Huber losing it multiple times in the Showcase lol
"Ben Moore will just say GHOST OF TSUSHIMA."
"Did you play Cat Quest? DID YOU REALLY?"

Same. Last Guardian and Shenmue 3 were at least somewhat likely back when they were the final bets
There was nothing realistic about Shenmue 3. And even then they'd add so many additional details to even when they happen they don't win
Betting Shenmue 3 in 2014 was in absolutely no way more realistic than each company having a shadow drop lol
Maybe, but I'm now more excited to keep my eyes peeled for any shadow drop in each conference. And Dark Cloud 3 isn't that far off what Shenmue 3 once was...
I remember there being a lot of hints for Shenmue back in 2014/2015 from Mark Cerny and Yu Suzuki having GDC talks where they'd talk about a possible 3, Yu Suzuki directly bringing up he was considering kickstarter for Shenmue 3, Suzuki teasing heavily he was appearing at E3 for a big reason, etc. Granted I'm not saying it was seen as a sure thing, it just seemed more reasonable to me than some of the other final bets lately considering there was a least rumors around it.
Yu Suzuki was absolutely stating his intentions to make a new Shenmue game as long as he got funding, and re-iterating that it was intended as a 4 part story as early as 2014 during interviews and GDC talks. Sony confirmed The Last Guardian was still in active development in February of 2015 after they re-registered the lapsed trademark, and Ueda himself said it was progressing only a couple of months earlier. Neither of those bets were that wild, what was wild was them being in the same conference lol
And I'm saying there was still nothing realistic in having Shenmue 3 as a final bet. Yea the game creator said he wanted to make the game. He's been saying that for years and years and years. That wasn't a new thing. There was no way Sega would make it and it seemed even more absurd Sega would loan it out to another small studio....for a kickstarter. Like I can't think of any other instance where that has happened before or since.
And I'd content Dark cloud 3 is in TLG territory. Kyle's final bet wasn't just it'd reappear but he said they'd say the release date and maybe something else. Dark cloud 3 isn't a stretch IMO. The devs that made it are still around, they made a No no kuni 2 just recently. Its not an absurd prediction IMO. Only thing that makes it absurd is it being on PC since Sony owns the IP
Yu Suzuki always stated he wanted to keep doing Shenmue though. The mentions of all the chapters and stories exist since forever. Thinking Shenmue 3 - the third part of a ridiculously niche Sega exclusive game with a 2nd part that barely existed in the US (OG Xbox rerelease only), one of the most expensive games of its time, about slow exploration and discovery with a young japanese dude walking around China, after its author was thought not to be at Sega anymore (the owners of the rights) - had hints of existing in 2014 because of a GDC talk, is just... Use the 2011 Mega64 skit as evidence, too, I guess.
It's saying like a Chrono sequel was likely in 2009 because of this, or heck, saying it's more likely in 2018 because of the Steam port. Or that a Namco x Capcom port/remaster was going to be released outside Japan after Project X Zone 1 and 2. It's the prequel, after all!
Shenmue was 100% dead. As is, nowadays Super Monkey Ball, Samba de Amigo, Fantasy Zone or Space Channel 5. They still get referenced/rereleased in a somewhat regular basis. Still not getting a new game.

I am actually impressed a new Space Channel never happened. Update it with a popular artist like MJ back in the day, do wacky reality show antics. Ulala has serious potential to become a viral sensation and appeal the younger female crowd.
At the same time, Sega, nowadays, making an effort like this, yeah.

bless who could forget this iconic tweet??
Believe it or not, I'm familiar with what Shenmue is. And yes, I obviously know it was mentioned before hence my use of the word re-iterate. Your weirdly pointed tone and attempts at ridicule over nothing have been noted, though!
I never suggested Dark Cloud 3 etc are even unlikely... in fact I didn't mention the newest bets at all. Point is, I don't think the newer bets are significantly more or less outlandish than the old ones. Jesus christ it's not that deep.
Sorry if I sounded condescending. I tried to make a fair comparison, but I don't know how to properly moderate my tone in english.
Made some gifs:
Bossman is sooo adorable. :3 Nice bets but I miss Brand Manager. :(
Did anyone make a "Chim saga" video last year that recaps all of the Chim segments of their E3 streams?
I don't think there's a specific Chim saga video, but FarisR did a bunch of Best of E3 videos and linked to the specific Chim sections:
