First time ever I've heard of uniqlo or whatever. Don't get the big deal.
Me neither, but I have to admit that I don't care that much about clothing compared to a lot of people, so I am not that surprised.First time ever I've heard of uniqlo or whatever. Don't get the big deal.
Yea, noticed it too. He looked exhausted.Last podcast was great but I noticed damiani didn't say anything for almost 40 minutes. I almost thought he left the podcast
Same, it's one of my favorite things. The Fortnite event video was a pleasant surprise.I will say I miss the random game streams from the studio with a couple of allies like they were doing for the first month or two. I remember thinking, "okay, NOW I get why the studio was such a good investment." And while I still think that, the random game streams have basically completely stopped.
Has anyone even mentioned the group stream last night? I think that's pretty telling for how uinteresting some of the games they choose to play is, i don't wanna come off as a downer but it's like the only time they have everyone (almost) and they pick these weird generic game-choices with no creativity at all.
I enjoyed last night's stream, would be nice if they had a way to swap gameplay pov though.Has anyone even mentioned the group stream last night?

Yeah, that last night stream was fun and all but the game did not help. At least for me, it was not engaging. Coming off the high that was HoG, it probably looked worse.
Maybe I was just too tired, though... Had a long day yesterday.
Yeah, just read up on this uniqlo. They are quite big.
I really hope this is an ACTUAL sponsorship from the company, not some dude who works in the store and is sponsoring them on behalf of uniqlo.
That would be really stupid of the allies and probably prone to legal problems I'm guessing. I'm sure they know that though.
Jones' story about meeting Kyle's Mii for the first time is great.
It's in the latest Friend Code, the beginning of the 3DS discussion.
Correct. Will be interesting to see if Ben starts a new one without Ian. I'd be down for some other table top games while they wait.
Oh, Ian will be back? Nice!I'm guessing they'll be taking another break since it's perfect timing for E3 BABY, which Ian will be back for anyway. So I'm not expecting anything until after then, but would be good if Ben talks about plans at the end of the next episode.
Haven't been keeping up. I know Ian's been away for awhile and was back this past week. Is he slowly stepping down or going to be busy for the foreseeable future with other projects. Sad to have less stuff with him in it to be honest.
Of course, none of our business anyway. Just wanted to make sure or not if he was leaving or something. Great to know he will be back. Now off to listen to some tabletop escapades.He's had to go home for a while, he's not talking about it just yet. But he'll be back for E3.
On one hand, I enjoy anything that involves the group gathering around to play games and have fun together so the group stream is one of my favorite things they do.
On the other hand, it annoys me greatly that they basically copy/pasted a format that seems unnecessarily truncated and chaotic and applied it to the studio with no changes. This all made sense when they were in Jones' garage, but much less so when they have free reign over a gorgeous studio. 9ish people gathering around to play video games for about 2ish hours is often wayyy too chaotic. There's usually multiple conversations going on, attention to what is going on is all over the place and there is no real "importance" to the games as they are all basically "one-offs." The inherent format of the stream often greatly restricts what games make "good" stream games and that's just the way it has to be right now.
Like, it irks me greatly that we often only get 2 hours of games being played a week in a studio that has a room specifically designed for such a thing. To me, 10 solo streams from home is worth 1 multi-person stream. Also doesn't help that the group stream starts at 9pm my time and ends after 11pm and I'm often debating rather to watch the NBA playoffs, prime time tv, the group stream or to go to sleep. I do usually enjoy Kyle's streams, but those also start at midnight for me (obviously this is much worse for people living in Europe and so on). Also, not an anime guy, but it seems wholly ridiculous having a live show start at 9:30ish pm their time on a Tuesday night.
To be clear, i'm still extremely happy with everything. It's just that I think the Allies group chemistry is unrivaled in the industry and it's frustrating they often don't play to their strengths. Right now, so much of it seems like 9 individuals mostly doing their own thing.
Do we have any info on how they're going to do the E3 Betting Special this year?
Thanks.
is Gameboy advance the worst Nintendo console? not counting virtual boy? I grew up with it and I can't imagine any of its games ending up in the hall of greats when every other Nintendo system has at least one obvious one on lock if not already.
nes: already in
snes: already in multiple times
gameboy: already in multiple times
gbc: Pokémon gold/silver
n64: already in multiple times
gamecube: already in multiple times
wii: galaxy
ds: lots of good alternative options like virtual novels and puzzle games
Wii U: Tropical freeze
3DS: Link Between Worlds, 3D Land
hmm I never played boktai. I agree with Wario Ware as well. I suppose an argument could be made for the Fire Emblems especially with Damiani.Advance Wars can make it in. It's a serious contender for an instant classic depending on what else it's up against.
Personally for me, the first warioware, the golden sun games, boktai and a few others are video game classics. But those are just off the top of my head.
How the hell did I forget to mention Aria? Punching myself for that. Rhythm Heaven is a great pick too although I admittedly never played it since I'm not really into rhythm games.hmm I never played boktai. I agree with Wario Ware as well.

If I had to pick 3 they would be
Aria of Sorrow
Rhythm Heaven
Advance Wars
It's good. But like I wouldn't argue that Aria is the best castlevania and probably wouldn't argue that GBA is the best rhythm heaven.How the hell did I forget to mention Aria? Punching myself for that. Rhythm Heaven is a great pick too although I admittedly never played it since I'm not really into rhythm games.

Boktai is like $50 used now lmao gotta get that sun chip
The problem with rhythm heaven and warioware is that they have both received much better releases on the 3ds. I do agree that golden sun should be in there but I think ben (and maybe kyle?) Doesnt like it very much which would really hurt its chances.
I cant speak to castlevania games. GBAs biggest peoblem is that it didnt have it's own Mario or zelda games (minus minish cap).

I never owned a Gameboy Advance myself, but my sister has a couple (a normal one and an SP) and I believe it's here favorite Nintendo handheld (I suspect the SP especially). But even though I don't know a lot of games on the system, I don't think you can call something the worst console just based on the games alone.is Gameboy advance the worst Nintendo console? not counting virtual boy?

Neither his link nor yours works for me, and I'm in the US. Just shows a bunch of random tees.Our contact posted that it may be a redirect issue in other countries, try: https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/ut-graphic-tees/eza

This is correct, it's just a collection of things related to our interests, and sounds like more will still be added.Yeah, that's what it is, a selection of shirts that they think would appeal to EZA viewers. I don't believe it's actual EZA merch.
