Filled out the survey, couldn't really go into as much detail as I wanted as 300 characters isn't a lot when you have multiple things you want to see them start/improve with.
I'm sure its not intentional that Weekly Clips hasn't had a new one done by the community member for the last 3 weeks, but boy has it resulted in me feeling more disconnected from EZA than ever. It feels like everyone is on summer break for the multitude of reasons, but even harder.
I do enjoy Easy Livin', but I worry it also feels at times its where they play non-Nintendo retro games for one of the only times of the year and get it 'out of their system' unless a new compilation comes out. Ben will seemingly never play Panzer Dragoon Saga (one of the best jRPG's ever made), Huber will never play more of GodHand (despite being by Mikami, his favourite game designer), and so on. I know Blood often picks up the slack by going retro with the Pact, but it definitely feels like something lost after GT and post the very early beginnings of EZA when streaming together at each others houses.
As a result, the EZA Plays channel just doesn't feel like it has anything on there I want to watch. I definitely commented in the survey how I wanted the edited plays to come back that Bosman very briefly experimented with. Something has to give there if they're not doing Weekly Clips themselves, not doing this, not doing that, and so on. Just uploading huge 4-5 hour streams onto the internet doesn't really feel like content creation but mass dumping/pollution past a certain point. Especially interesting considering the Hottake in Frame Trap this week about more produced shows like Mike Ross' The Excellent Adventures versus just marathons of intermittent thanks for 100 Bits and the general sentiment that maybe they're not really using this new studio for a brand new start and getting past the loss of GT.
