This Week's Group Stream Night

Hi Allies--

    For this week's Group Stream Night I'm proposing another unusal event stream, but if you're not feeling it, we still have two regular options to choose from.

    You may have heard some of us toss around the term "one of the greats" from time to time, perhaps so frequently that it's become careless. I think it's a good idea for Easy Allies to make an official, definitive list of The Greats. This week's group stream night would be a live induction for the Easy Allies Hall of Greats.

   How this would work: Each of us will be a personal champion for one game we believe belongs in the Hall of Greats, as in one of the greatest video games of all time. One at a time, we'll stand and deliver a speech of up to seven minutes making a case for our game. After this speech, the floor will be open to a three-minute Q&A about this game, in which the game's champion must field any concerns from the rest of the allies. Once we've heard each game's case, we then vote on who should be inducted. Since there aren't many of us, each ally gets three votes, worth 1, 2, and 3 points. The two games with the most points will be inducted into the Easy Allies Hall of Greats. (Any ties would be broken by a vote here on Patreon)

   If the Hall of Greats induction goes well, it'll be something we put up for vote every four months. If it doesn't win the vote, no big whoop, we just move on. Speaking of which, our other nominees for this week are:

Halo Wars 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RHzU9r0t2c

Final Fight 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=008XnNaH90U

If you're holding off on voting because none of that makes sense, ask any questions in the comments below!

Group Stream Night is every Tuesday night at 6pm PT on twitch.tv/easyallies and archived with our other streams on youtube.com/easyalliesplays

Love & Respect,

Kyle

A top tier stream, surprised it took this long to get here honestly. Good to see MGs be the first main choice. MGS 3 is my pick for the franchise, but I understand the argument for MGS1. It needed more RPG love, namely Chrono Trigger!

Bokthand

Hey everyone, where can i vote for the second place in the hall of fame?

This was a great stream. i'm sorry I doubted the epicness of this idea. Thank you Kyle.

Ibrahim Sozer

so... are we doing some bets on what game we think each ally will nominate?

Hall of Greats is a cool idea. Because each of you have a unique perspective on great games, why not assemble personal lists as well as a unanimous master list for all of you? Also, great to finally be a patron!

Great idea! Chrono Trigger will win

EZA Hall of Greats is a great idea

You itching for more Damiani fights? But no, sounds fun! Like Kill Your Babies with less baby-killing.

Samuel Cardwell

But then again, maybe that is part of the fun in which one gets added first haha. For instance, when you decide this is a terrible idea when Damiani nominates a link to the past ;) (u should do Windwaker, lol)

Brogan Trull

Kyle- like others have said great idea but we should have a couple shoe ins immediately where we don't have to debate those otherwise we are going to hear debates for about 2 years (every 4 months) on Mario 3, Mario, Super Metroid, Metal Gear Solid, etc. that I bet if you just said does anyone dispute this- no one would.

Brogan Trull

HoG sounds awesome! Reminds me of Eberts 'Great Movies'. HoG Videos would be a must then - Just the Presentation of the game in a well produced Video. As added Bonus to the 40k Tier maybe?!

David

I thought it was an obvious choice, and it is. Always prefer hearing your opinions on things. Granted if you need something else to fill time after the Hall of Greats, my vote would be Halo Wars 2

Kyle please bring forgotten PSone multiplayer gem some time: Crash Bash.

Łukasz Wizła

Can't wait for Don's speech.

Alexander Zyryanov

Lists are generally dumb and boring. It'd be more fun if you made people do a stream or, even better, edit a personal "greats" trailer for their entry if you're going to do this. After the GOTY stream, it seems clear to me that group stream debate is a bad format for this kind of thing.

Bradley Spies

I had to read it a second time to get what's going on and what I'm supposed to vote on but I think I got it.

LukeW

Also I've had an idea. With the current consoles we've had recording capabilities. What do you think about presenting your clips from video games and the communities clips from Psn and Xbox clubs.

Alexander Mcloughlin

This first HOG is gonna be crazy, maybe a good strategy is to hold of the top tier game for a later HOG victory. I guess Bloodborne is a guaranteed landslide.

Alexander Mcloughlin

Literally 91% right now. 😆

I'm all for the mix-up with HoGs. I just hope all of the allies make it to the stream!

I hope this overwhelming lead in votes showcases how much we want you guys to do fun shows and op-eds compared to just watching you guys stream games. I know the twitch streams are easier to do hence the higher volume, but I personally would rather watch more shows and podcasts and have less livestreams :) Love and respect!

Nut Kon

You guys talking about video games will always win over you guys playing them; no question

Randy Verschueren

Bloodworth f zero gx deserves to be there!!! It's the only 10 you gave out and I 100% agree with it!!"

ahsan khan

Hall of Great sounds too much like other stuff we've seen. You already do Kill Your Babies and we've see tons of top 10 and top 100 lists. This would probably be dominated by the usual games on these lists, Zelda:OoT, Mario 3, Super Metroid, etc. They're all great games, but I don't see the point in having a debate again. Halo Wars 2 sounds like a lot more interesting.

Dustin McNab

Hall of Greats just seems like a more elaborate version of Kill Your Babies. But with just one game getting the attention & motivations for being great instead. Which I'm kinda tired of, having been done by EZA and so many others frequently. So let's play a videogame instead please!

oh hell yeah eza hall of greats, that is an awesome idea. just bring non-obvious games. we don't need SMB3 inducted on the day 1. or do a lightning round and induct 10 obvious games at once.

Michal Dudic

Needs more Scott pilgrim

ZyloWolfBane

I believe Kyle means that every 4 months they will have an option to induct another game into the Hall of Greats. Not that the game chosen Tuesday night will be on a poll to play for group stream every 4 months.

I really don't like this idea for a few reasons: -A great game isn't always a great stream. -I don't wanna see repeat games on stream. -The HoG game would win by default.

issa

This stream will be one of the greats

I think Hall of Greats is a great idea but to play Devil's Advocate the parameters that are set as now I can just predict a bunch classic games from the NES, SNES and N64 era filling the lists which really isnt that interesting in 2017. Like do we really need to hear why Super Metroid is great for the hundredth time? But it could be fun.

John Meza

Hall of Greats is too good of an idea. Even more hyped for the group stream now!

Kyle, how do you prevent that some allies suggest the same game? But I'm sure you will come up with great rules, as always😊

I can't wait until u guys get a studio and reach the next level, seriously!

It has to be Hall of the Greats, We will have other times to see those games, but Hall of the Greats will be what we want most.

Welp.. Did not expect to see that big of lead.

Obviously the weird option. Great idea!

Kevin Weaver

As much as I love Final Fight 3, I'm voting for the Hall of Greats. FF3 was a game I never bought but would rent continuously from the store. One week I went on to rent it and found out a kid broke the cartridge. To this day, I've been heartbroken over this moment.

Dragons Crown !? lol One of the greats sounds fun

John Wingate

'Hall of Greats' is a fantastic idea. The 'Kill Your Babies' episode with you, Ben and Ian had moments where you had to defend your line of reasoning and if it's an extended version of that, sign me up!

lol @ Hall of Greats. Brilliant.

Great idea! Can't wait for the speeches.

I'll always vote for the weird option. But! Will there be insurance to make sure no one is doubling up? I don't want to see three different presentations for Link To The Past!

James McCoy

This stream will be one of the greats!

Tokyo Slim

Event streams are the best streams. Start writing those speeches

Bdun912

This is an awesome idea, Kyle. Props.

Tony

I'm really hoping we see the Great(s) Debate. Each of the Allies has such an eclectic taste, it'll be interesting to see how much overlap there may be.

No

Easy Allies

Kyle gave a great short "One of the greats" speech at the end of the Kill Your Babies episode with Ian and Ben. I think one per person might be too easy though, because there are so many greats. How about choose a console....like the 'Genesis' and everyone has to do a 'one of the greats' for that. Between now and the end of the year you could then do one for the NES, SNES, PS1 , XBOX etc....maybe once a month

Sean Callaghan

I like the idea I'm just worried you guys wont champion a lot of games. But I'll vote for it because I like when you guys get creative.

Heru Muharrar

there really is only one answer... I'm super hyped for the HGI

Chris

Legend of Zelda and Super Mario World is going to win

Ibrahim Sozer

Heck yes, the EZA Greats!!!

Is this because you couldn't think of another game to play

Ibrahim Sozer

Love that you guys are trying new stuff and this seems like a great idea. If your GotY stream is any indication, this could easily get heated, which is fun in its own way
