one of my favorite videos ever, i bust over laughing literally every time i watch it
The episode where Kyle forgot to end it, I remember thinking to myself "oh man here comes a correction" and he saved it at the last second I burst out laughing so hard. Or Wars is so funny, gotta hope there's a bit of a run away for the Scrappy Little Pigs so we can squeeze it in at the end of the year!
Aye, growing pains and all. I think what was the more... not frustrating but confusing thing was they actually did quite a few 3-4 people streams when they first moved in to the studio and then just kinda stopped that. Hope they get back to a schedule where that's a thing again.
In other news i've been watching Barry the past few days and it really is brilliant. I can't help but picture Kyle blushing at some of these scenes though lmao.
Love how much of a blast Brad was having in the achievements video. Also it might've sold me on Yoshi.
I obviously don't know for sure, but it's possible they are holding off on those type of streams because of the full playthrough patreon goal.
But it can be a coincidence. They are for sure very busy at the moment, so who knows.

Just a quick, 15 minute podcast. One trope a week. I'd up my pledge for that.
It'd also be super helpful for me because I am very much like Brandon when it comes to anime.
It would be nice to have some sex positive games. We barely have any. Even Bayonetta, which some folks point to, has an aversion to actual sex.
The games are a reflection of where they are made and published. If you release a game with sex in it, no store in America will sell it, regardless of the context.
Then again, have we actually seen anyone attempt to make a game with sex in it that wasn't pure juvenile titillation?
The most sex positive game I played may have been The Witcher 3...
But then The Witcher 1 had you collecting women Geralt slept with as trading cards, so it's not all roses, lilacs and gooseberries.

Yeah the interactions in the third game are a complete far cry from the first.
And yeah a lot of games with sex are made for juvenile purposes, the games with moe blobs with enormous jugs still far, far outweigh the good stuff. Still, would rather more attempts with sex rather than violence. Apparently life is strange 2 just had a really good, natural look at sex although I haven't played it myself
Anyone know the little wind up Kyle does at the start of these is supposed to represent?
I think it's just a record arm/needle drop sound, as if from a jukebox.
When digging through the GT Twitch archives for old FPFs, I found this very old playthrough (pre-Defy) of Kyle playing Bad Boys Miami Takedown. I knew he'd done the First 15 of it and the Pop Fact, but I didn't know Kyle did a longer playthrough and it's super good. Classic Friday night Kyle.
I don't think that's necessarily true.
Something like the new Wolfenstein games have sex, nudity, and a breast feeding scene all without much issue and done quite well.
Lighting is so weird on the podcast stage.
Everyone looks lit to varying degrees, and none of them particularly well. Ben's lighting is coming in a bit too hot, with his forehead shining, but still weirdly warm color temperature, and Brandon and Damiani are off in shadowland, particularly Damiani, whose hat has him sometimes almost completely in shadow.
Compare this to the garage, which was far more evenly lit in its later stages (note that even with Damiani's hat, it still looks good):
Hope they can work on this. Would be weird if the garage-days E3 coverage looked better than their new studio set.
EDIT: to be fair, it often looks better than the first shot there (from the newest Frame Trap), but it's still pretty inconsistent.

Ian "The Lighting Guru" Hinck will be back for E3 so I think the lighting will be dialed in just a bit to have them looking their best. Definitely noticed when Ian's not around, no matter the show, the lighting comes in a bit hot...part of learning the ins and out of the studio I assume.
TL;DR: Ian is frustrated that Dark Souls got banned from the Hall of Greats, concludes that his next pick should be something catered to the tastes of the other Allies, and is crowdsourcing that pick. Any popular option or good pitch commented on his video will be considered for his next Hall of Greats nomination.
Here's my pitch comment, in case anyone wants to be a pal and Like it for more visibility, and/or tell me whether or not my reasoning is bogus:
... Have Ian nominate Super Smash Bros.
I want you all to imagine Ian pitching Super Smash Bros to the other allies.
It's art waiting to happen.

Alternatively, the allies don't put any votes for it and the internet burns Hall of Greats to the ground. Either way, Ian wins.
I kinda wonder why he framed it as "Destroying" the Hall of greats tho.
Uhhh..... Why? He didn't make it quite clear why he framed it as "Destroying" the Hall of greats.
The 5 minute segment that brings in thousands of dollars on Patreon?
Weird flex.
Each to there own, I think the podcast is greater than the sum of its parts.
If Ian wants to destroy hall of greats the real way to do it is to bring a game that other allies like and give it the worst presentation ever. Like, mention everything that's bad about it and say nothing good. During cross examination, just agree with anyone bringing up bad points and if they try to make their questions be about good things disagree with them.
In the face of the other serious submissions it would be difficult for even fans of the game to use one of their votes for it after a presentation like that, so hopefully it gets 0 votes and you get the game banned for a year.

You couldn't be more wrong.
By the way, not everything in life is free.
Those sponsors help out a lot.
What a post SMH.
Five minute Podcast Halftime btw...
i cant remember if silent hill 2 competed or not, but thats a good bet, super smash bros is good too, there's no blue bomber too so i would try the one most people say is the best is megaman 2.
sonic 2 or 3 could be a good bet too
final fantasy tactics is also a good bet since there's lots of rpg fans in easy allies

Ian already brought Silent Hill 2 before (twice, you can check it here: http://hallofgreats.com). I'm almost sure he is doing just what Aero is saying. He is going to bring a great game and not defend it. I understand where he is coming from, but I hope he doesn't end up killing HoG.
I don't think Sonic has as big of a chance to get in as some other games. They will eventually, but there are plenty of games they will vote in before it. Final Fantasy Tactics does seem like a good bet from how I hear most of them talk about it.
That said, the most important thing is which games get brought by everybody else. If there is only one or none extremely popular choice, most games that get brought have a chance (because almost all of them are great games). If you are unlucky and there are 4 other contenders, there is always a chance it won't get votes. Especially if there are similar games that get nominated (like last time with Dark Souls and Sekiro).
I am sure Dark Souls will get in eventually, it was just unlucky this time.

You have no right to tell me my opinion on a podcast is wrong. Get real.
I'm not saying podcast halftime needs to go. I'm saying they could afford to make the core discussions a little longer.
Podcast half time is five minutes and people pay for support EZA for that spot.
Why does it bug you so much? Specifically podcast half time.
Why would someone even bring that up? An Quip ad I understand but these are actually patreons, wow.
I understand where you are coming from, but this is what the EZA podcast always has been (even during the GT days as far as I remember). It's a fun, lighthearted podcast which talks about news and has some games and patreon questions.
It depends on how much news there is and if it's close to E3 or not. It's also because Kyle doesn't seem to want the podcast to be as long as Frame Trap and that's the only option to have more discussions. Create a longer podcast (which I totally get why he doesn't want to).
They can't create the news themselves.

Podcast Half time is not part of core discussion, why someone would bring that up is beyond me.
"taken up by podcast half time" ... what
