Cup of Jones - 06/10/17

If a Cup is too much maybe just a Sip of Jones. Maybe a Cup of Troop! Or Cup of EasyAllies done by the Bossman or Blood or Huber..... But whatever you do I wanted to say thanks for all that you have done and continue to do in creating a community that is all about the Love and Respect.

Yeah, i miss good Cup of Jones!

I suggest a cup of jones before the 3rd of August. What says you?

Jones, I've left a comment in your Brandon Plays Persona 5 video so I thought I would leave the same one here too. When I say this, I am being absolutely serious because I want to see this happen. How much do I have to pay on Patreon for you to finish Persona 5 this year? I'm already a supporter, but I will raise it if it means you finishing this game. I will pay Kozachenko level of money if necessary.

Great episode, Brandon! Also, nice desk. I was wondering about it in the newer videos.

When will you talk about the 2$ tier that I just noticed because of a community post? :3

What an awesome E3 EZA! Now to catch up on 874 hours of E3 coverage.

Gotta say, this is a bit of a shame. I like that each podcast has a unique visual look: Frame Trap has the desk, the Podcast has the couch. I'll miss the laid-back vibes, and Sophie's occasional incursions.

James McCoy

Im seeing this late. I literally thought to myself 'what a nice desk' during e3 lol.

The desk looks great! One thing it may take away from is Sophie's occasional presence on the podcast. Seeing her relax beside Blood and Huber (or Ian's bet to keep her beside him), or having her come up to someone who yelled or​ seems distressed )"Human! I must protect you with hugs and face licks!") gives the podcast a "jolly vibe".

Cheers Brandon, have a wonderful E3!

Howdy, I had an idea for 2nd anniversary stuff for overseas patrons. Considering how, in general, we cannot come to a shindig in the US, how about a sending a cute little exclusive "wish you were here" EZA enamel pin for 1+ year supporters? I guess they cost less than a dollar each, and it would be a neat gesture. Secret link via email to the merch store to sort out shipping. Just a thought.

Thanks Jonesy, enjoy the week and can not wait to hear your feedback for the next few days! Desk is rad!

Thanks for what you do Brandon, grease those palms!

Brand Manager, cruising through E3 booths, all the backdoor shady deals to be made, so little time

best in the biz baby

We're gonna miss you Jones, but we know you're trying to spread the good word of Easy Allies! Good luck and have a great E3! L&R

Desk Hype! It sounds silly, but Im so happy you guys have a desk now. It makes everything look so much more professional - and it looks great on camera, too.

Looking forever to a joyous E3, one and all. So thankful for the Allies and their unique contributions on the whole. As well, the community; best there is.

So great that you brought up the nervous thing Brandon. I saw you last year at San Diego comic con and was just to nervous to say hi, I didn't want to bother you as you were walking past with your wife and seemed like you were in a bit of a hurry. Hopefully next time I can get the courage to at least say hi and express how gratefull I am that EZ Allies is going strong.

Great Cup of Jones as always,but i'll miss the couch when the desk take place on the regular podcast after E3... snif... xD....

Hey Jones, I recently went back an watched all of the cup of Jones you have recorded so far and pulled the marketing/promotional ideas that either you or viewers mentioned in the past as something you were planning to explore/would get back to later. Figured post E3 would be a good time to reevaluate and if you could let the community know if there has been any movement on these ideas or if you had decided against them. Creation of Social Media promotion materials, short videos or posts etc that can be used by the community to evangelize Easy Allies. As a related matter an update to the Patreon intro video to better reflect the current state and goals of the Patreon Sponsors for Frame Trap Creation of a Patreon Tier for a viewer participation show in addition to community comments A check in with the balance between evergreen and topical content Mobilizing the Easy Allies community in charity work, charity marathons have been specifically mentioned BloodPact equivalents for other allies Cultivation of large tier and or long term patrons A place on the Website that can help facilitate gifts by giving information on Allies clothing sizes, food restrictions, what is already in the EZA games library, also potentially creation of an amazon wish list so those interested know that they are getting something someone is interested in/can use A revamp of the Merchandise, better quality, more diversity of items Several of these have come up multiple times, and or I have collapsed related queries into one topic. I love the peak into the process of building out a brand from scratch that Cup of Jones sometimes gives us and I hope that looking at all these laid out like this is useful in some way.

See you soon!

Such good vibes. Great desk!

iconmaster

Jones, what's your go-to dance move during parties?

I like the new desk. I think it will be an improvement over the couch. You guys won't have to turn around as much to look at each other while talking. Thumbs up ! :)

Whiskeyjack

As much as hype I am for E3, there is no chance that I would ever step foot into E3 coliseum. I would just be frustrated and annoyed

Love all the meetings, spread the EZA brand Brand-Manager Jones!

Rhodesiensensical

PRIME!

HYPE! Thanks for the video Jones, hope you enjoy E3!! Setup is looking great, just under an hour for the EA pre show!

Steven Vella

Best time of the year. Can't wait to watch your reactions on repeat between press conferences!

Same. I'm honestly kind of worried that we will loose the cozy living room vibes of brandon's garage once you guys move to an office. Hope the new set won't look like Kinda Funny's and more like a living room.

I hope everyone has a good time!

See ya Jones have a fun safe E3

Have a great E3, everybody! I gotta say that I really like the couch setup for the podcast, though. Especially with the garage as a backdrop it has such a comfy vibe - much better than the rather sterile GT set. I hope the new desk doesn't take away from that.

Matthias Mistlbacher

Good luck Jones! Good luck allies! May all your E3 dreams reveal themselves!

klastical

I'm super hyped for E3 this year, especially after hearing that Factor 5 is back. I feel that this E3 is going to be absolutely insane, and you guys will once again provide best coverage, because you are Best in biz, afterall.

OMG Hyped! Bring on the Trailers!

Jason Walstrom

Loving the desk! Compact, stylish, simple, maybe stick one of those nice handmade Easy Allies logos on the front there!

Have a wonderful E3, Brandon (and the rest of EZAllies)! I can't wait to see what will be revealed.

As someone who panicked and made myself gut check to say hello and introduce myself pre-show, yep. I'm STILL nervous. AND WE SPOKE AND SAT NEXT TO EACH OTHER! Have a wonderful E3 and I'm looking forward to your Judge's Week wrap-up, Trailer Jones, and all of the EZA coverage, starting in under two hours!

Brandon K Gann

I REALLY love the set up this year Jones, doesn't look as flimsy this time round.

Have fun in E3 SHADY DEALS.....Brand MANAGER. :P

Otoshigami

If they plan to have E3 open to the public next year, I'm definitely going. But for now, I'm gonna relax in my chair and watch the Allies deliver the E3 goods this year. Have a wonderful week as a E3 judge Brand Manager. You deserved it.

Karl Williams

Hey Jones, I work at a studio that does exhibit design, set design and custom furniture. If you ever need concepts for things drawn up let me know.

Enjoy it Jones. Looking forward to the EZA reactions. (In smug Kyle voice) Best in the biz baby!

Grease those palms, Jones. Have fun!

I love this time of the year. :D Enjoy E3~!

Tetsujin

Jones "i hope 8 people is enough to entertain you." ??!!?? So Don will be there??

Angelo Torres

Cheers, Happy E3 Jones!

Henk Groenendijk

All the best Jones, spread that L+R

I have been watching some old GT lately and I think your desk shows how EzA has matured from the GT days. Having the simple black desk rather than the lit up glass front desk is a prime example of how EzA takes its time and puts content first over superfluous crap. Same thing with the video reviews-- the new ones put the content first over those old animation breaks-- while they were good at the time, the new versions show a much more confident voice. So, in other words, I like your new desk. Now, can we do a single month raise to get ride of those awful card table chairs? :) L&R

Patrick Dixon

The set looks great, you look great too Jones! It's E3 BABEH! What a shame, to have less Jones at EZA this year for the E3 coverage, but it's so important and really exciting to get the Easy Allies name out there, and to have Jones as a judge :) Totally worth it :) So I wish you the best of luck this E3 for all of the allies! Thanks for the update.

Mumble Mumbleton

Enjoy it Jones 👍🏻

Grease them palms, Brand Manager

Henry Ramirez

I love the stage setup, glad you guys brought it back!

Thank you for all that you do, Jones.

Good luck Jones! Represent the Allies well!
