Easy Allies Podcast #84 - November 1st 2017

I watched it as every friday and still enjoyed it. L&R from Costa Rica!

Inside Out got to me pretty good, but it was Monster's Inc. that about had me bawling in the theater. Tough to hold that back.

I have a funny story about Inside Out; My wife and I saw that movie in the theater and during the scene that kyle brought up there was a grown woman in the seat in front of us crying, not stiffed whimpers, but full on bawling in the theater. It made me very uncomfortable and I nudged my wife as if to say "What the hell..." and she turned to look at me, her cheeks wet with fresh tears. And I whispered to her "Never mind, I guess I'M the monster here"

Certainly no one should be *forced* to divulge such information, but those that do may find their voices more respected, or, in the alternative, the market of folks seeking review information may simply not care. We don't really know until the alternative is offered. It may be worth it to explore for someone seeking to differentiate their brand, and could be useful tool. But definitely shouldn't be forced.

First of all, great episode, short but sweet. Personally I think the notion that reviewers should have to make their profiles public is nonsense, and agreed with basically everything you said. It's not technically a correction, but I think an important point that you didn’t touch on, is that there was a huge flaw in that “Exposed” video’s theory. The reviewer only having the trophy for beating the game on explorer, does not prove they played the whole game on that difficulty, it merely proves that at one point they turned it down to explorer difficulty. This may, or may not have even been for review purposes.

Honestly, as spoilers go it's not massive. You will still love the film.

Great L&R question and great answers!

CORRECTION/INFO: The Tsushima Islands was the landing spot for the Mongols during their planned invasion on Japan. The war that broke out took SEVEN years to end. This war is also the first recorded time that there was artillery used in a war. Bombs, fire bombs, smoke bombs, etc. The Japanese won over the Mongols in a very convincing manner. The Tsushima War is considered the pre-cursor to heavy artillery warfare. Because of the way war changed Samurai had to change the way they approached battle. So this is where more stealthy approach comes into play for the Japanese military. (AKA ninjas)

I hadn't seen Inside Out, but was interested in watching it with my son. At least he didn't hear the spoiler.

Kyle holding onto that ghost spite for a week.

POKEY CLYDE

Love seeing Kyle rocking the WeWork T-shirt while I watch the podcast from a WeWork office in Amsterdam Netherlands - great place to hot desk in a community that is open, supportive, positive, socially minded and fun; much like Easy Allies! L&R

Kyle Scared of Ghosts lol

John Wingate

Correction: As a Mongolian I can say we would talk like that. Because subjugation of good warriors and generals was a top military policy. Gengis Khans top generals were once his enemies and even one was a warrior that injured him in battle. Recognition of military talent was one of the pillars of why the Mongol Conquest was so swift and brutal. Even if the person was on the enemies side a surrender meant that the person would serve the Khan in life and death under the ETERNAL BLUE SKY.

It hit me in the heart to hear them talk about the joy we get when an underserved genre gets a new game.. on the same day Housemarque says Arcade is dead :-(

Get well soon, Kyle!

Brian "FriendlyMerlin" A.
