Cup of Jones - Update from Hawaii

What are your thoughts on Robert Pattinson being casted as Batman for Matt Reeve's "The Batman"? It's disappointing that people are complaining about the casting since they only know him as Edward from "Twilight". Pattinson's recent movies ("Good Time", "The Lost City of Z", "High Life") showcase serious acting chops from him. I'm looking forward in seeing what he does in the role.

A little late, but I wish that you had an amazing time at Hawaii.

Hey Jones (and Amanda too, if she is there)! I used to be big into theatre and acting, but ended up taking the game design route when I got to college. If I ever wanted to get back into acting in the future, what are the first steps one would take? Do you get an agent? Take lessons? Take headshots? Go to any specific website looking for casting calls? I’m sure it’s yes to a lot of these, but where do I start? It all seems overwhelming to try and figure out where to take those first steps.

My wife and I went to Japan for our baby-moon. And you're right, you won't be going anywhere anytime soon heheh. My little one is 3 now and as much as I crave a vacation, I love being around her. Cheers to you and your new family!

Hey Brandon, and Hey Cup-Heads! (That’s what we call ourselves, right!?) Since day one, I have been a proud Patron of your collective... However this month I have hit an unexpected financial snag… I was unable to fund ANY of my subscription services this month. That meant no Netflix, Amazon Prime, SIFTD or, most importantly… My family at EZA... I must say that I truly missed not only the flagship Podcast on Wednesdays. But.. that sweet, sweet insider scoop that makes me feel like a stock shareholder.... Those Monday episodes of Cup of Jones. I felt like I could make it this month without you guys…. But I wanted to let you know that Bloodworth's email to my Credit card payment error is what made me re-sub and give you... Thanks for listening to me Brandon/Troop.

Hi Jones, a quick tabletop escapade question. Ben said that there may not be a season 3 can you shed a bit of light on this? Is it fatigue, scheduling issues, viewership numbers? It's one of my favorite EZA show and would be really sad to see it go.

Nice stubble

Insert obligatory "MUST BE NICE " comment here.

Hey Jones I just wanted to ask, is the Life is Strange Spoiler mode still on the schedule? Episode 3 just came out so I’m cool with waiting I just haven’t heard any info about it, if this get answered already or it was mentioned somewhere just let me know!

Megan Linart

Have you thought about doing a series of posts on a service like Medium on the fall of GT and rise of EZA? Might make an interesting series of reads.

Steve S

Yes, shes tweeted about it

Mr Jones, If fatherhood becomes your sole priority, and you decide to adjudicate from your position, who has the most legitimate claim to "the iron throne" of Easy Allies? I know that you have said that it is a 9 way partnerships, but I still can't help but see you as the King Arthur of this round table. Would you try to appoint one of the allies? Remain hands off and let the 8 decide? Bring in an outsider? Community vote? Would love to hear your thoughts on the EZA line of succession/ chain of command. L&R Morgan Mohalla

Hi Brandon, Regarding your sponsor Uniqlo, I heard a similar question in the last cup of jones but no real answer was given. I am interested to know how that happened, if you have approached them or they approached you. Until now all sponsors were rather small companies or private persons, so I was just floored when I heard in the podcast that UNIQLO is a sponsor. I am living in Japan and here it is probably the biggest clothing department chain. It is even the main sponsor of professional tennis player Nishikori-san. So if you could give insight how that happened that would be greatly appreciated. And congratulations for becoming a father, as a father of 2 children, I can imagine that it feels unreal in the beginning and yes, your life will change completely, but I can also tell you that you will never have any regrets, once you hold your child in your arms. Love and Respect, Karsten Koller-Nitta

I am super happy to see that patrons' money goes not only into you guys working hard, but being able to sit back and take a break! Hope your Jones&Troop baby-moon went well :)

Nice! I was in Hawaii not too long ago, enjoy your time both of you!

Hey Jones, quick lightning round about open-world games just for the heck of it. Just saying the first thing that pops into your mind, and accepting that they are by no means your Official Picks, which game in the genre has the best: -Mode of transportation? -Photo mode? -Summit / really high area? -Non-essential collectible? -Map screen? -Easter egg? -Setting?

I’m happy you got to enjoy my home! Take care and malama plenty!

Speaking of vacations! What is one place of your bucket list that you really want to go to one day?

Sekiro505

So basically an 8 hour HoG? Should be easy :P

Eduardo Ortiz

Hi Jones hope you had a great trip and could unwind a little before the craziness of E3 and parenting hits you =)

Enjoy!!!

Hello Jones I saw this idea in the youtube comments of the HoG stream and liked it so much I thought I'd float it by you. What if, during Easy Livin', you had a Hall of Greats as the finale of the stream and, leading up to it, each Ally plays an hour of their nomination as part of their presentation. So when you all present your game you can make call backs to what you did during the stream.

Enjoy the break Jones! Cheers ;)

S.F.

I approve. Jones you deserve this more then anyone.

Jeffrey Tessar

Enjoy you time off man
