Cup of Jones - January 13, 2020 - Audio
Added 2020-01-14 20:22:49 +0000 UTCWe have a big meeting today to look ahead at the new year, and because we’re all getting prepped for that there is not a lot to talk about at the top of today’s episode. Tomorrow night’s group stream will feature our 2020 predictions, and the week after we’re announcing our GOTYs, so all of the allies’ minds are trapped between deciding the best of 2019, and thinking of how we can maximize our efforts in the next 11 months. As always, your input here on Cup of Jones is a big part of that, so thank you!

PERSONAL QUESTIONS
WU_TANG_CLAM - Not a question but I think it would be a tragedy if you (=Jones) missed this: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/490746154?collection=ugwXICRNPxWjgw&t=0h2m59s JONES - I DID MISS THAT! Kyle never sends me good stuff like this. Thank you. That was amazing. I’ve always wondered if someone could patchwork a video (or several) out of all the VO I’ve done.
STEVE S - After another play-through of RDR2, I was wondering if you think Arthur's sacrifice for John was ultimately for nothing when John came back for revenge against Micah? Arthur repeatedly said "Revenge is a fool's game", and in the post credits scenes it shows Ross and Fordham finding Micah's corpse, and that led them to John's farm. JONES - Since this is a big RDR2 spoiler I’ll leave it here in Personal Questions. I’m actually not a fan of a lot of aspects of the end of Arthur’s timeline in Red Dead, especially after learning what making different decisions amount to. I love all of John’s stuff in the Epilogue with a passion, but Arthur’s ending kind of fizzled for me. The chase, the standoffs, the depressing lead-up. Kinda disappointing.
Comments
I checked on my podcast app and it's fine. Not sure if there's anything we could do to remedy it. -Bloodworth

2020-01-15 20:05:38 +0000 UTC(not a question) Strangely, when I try to download the podcast version of this episode with my podcast app (Podcast Addict), it's only a ~6minute file, which cuts off hard. However it's clear the recording worked, because the .mp3 file you link to hear goes the full hour. Not sure how this could happen, but something to keep an eye on when you're uploading audio versions in the future!

2020-01-15 19:14:53 +0000 UTCIn regard to the Red Dead 2 question I feel that was intentional. These are hardened cowboy criminals. Revenge is in their nature and is a huge basis for films in the genre it’s based from. People die with hopes and dreams for those that outlive them and they never truly get realized the way we want them to. Arthur got his redemption dying for John and John died for his honor and family. The cycle of red dead.
