Don's Discount Gaming: The King of the 90's Arcades

diggin' this show so far :)

I loooove this format. It's somewhat fast and lose but still very personal AND informative. Excellent work!

Great story told through Sengoku. Keep em rolling.

Gerred Evatt

Hahaha man I love sengoku! That was a great episode, Don. Can't wait for next week.

Love the show. Put Don in anything and ill watch it! :-)

Hey Don, this is a great show, loving it so far! One of my friends thought you were taking this show in a slightly different direction and I thought it was a pretty good idea. He thought you were going to spend the money you made last week on your next purchase, and then try to make more profit, so you slowly buy bigger/better games, and make more money. How to make money and play games at the same time.

Tom Bowen

Also those games were firkin crazy!!!

Jason Stamatyades

This is the best video I have ever seen. You just brought Easy Allies to another level.

Jason Stamatyades

Consider this another vote to keep the audio as is. I really appreciate how this episode stuck with your theme, but changed things up quite a bit. Looking forward to next week!

Brandon Patton

the low-fi audio really adds to the overall feel of the video. i vote to keep it!

This was an awesome episode!

I dig it, we're on the streets man no time for fancy boommics

OverNightGaming

I love it, Don, and don't worry about the audio. You come across loud and clear, and one doesn't need studio quality sound for everything anyway.

Leif

How much money do I have to pay to become Don?

Really liked this episode and the first. Like how you're changing it up each one. Good stuff Don!

Ben Bernard-Smith

You have such a great style and delivery Don. Loved the episode!!

This show came out of nowhere and is taking EZA by storm. Love the lo-fi audio, love Don's stories, love how you tie some sort of gambling or otherwise backdoor shady deals into the episodes. Kind of a small deal, but I also love the "next episode" teaser we get. I was legit excited for this episode, and now I can't wait for the next one.

Don, you are to video games & gambling what Caine is to Kung Fu and walking the earth.

Great show Don. Had know idea what to expect from you but I'll all good stuff. The fedora, glasses, retro games/stories, some low-fi locations, gambling - gold. Love the Neo Geo nostalgia too. What a crazy trick holding down that button. Don't change a thing Don.

This is great. Great new show

I feel pleasure alright....from all this great content that's been provided to me!

I love! how to audio sounds old skool :D, great show Don!

Love the show and concept. Just needs better audio quality.

Sengoku, just tried it recently for the first time on my Neo Geo X. Love that handheld/console. Shame it had legal troubles and won't be getting more support.

this show is so weird and I love the sort of trash tv vibe you go for while also just making it really entertaining and still game related. Love ya Don boi

Kolby Keith

Ah my god!!! I love this show. Honestly love it. The low fi feeling just fits so perfectly. Anybody know the song playing during the introduction of the game? Sounds awesome!

This show is amazing Don, love the low-fi ...everything! Props to who ever is producing this as well, just a great executuion of a simple and fantastic premise. Consistency of tone is what makes each of the easy allies shows so great.

I feel like Don would make an amazing rapper. Don, you're killing it!

Awesome show the Don, you sure put a lot of work into this show how can you do all that. The good olds days. Games have come along way. so cool.

Wow Don, another awesome episode, quickly becoming my favourite EZA show this!

Rhys Simons

Love it!!

Impact93 (Jon)

This show is fantastic!

Daniel Fuchs

Don's show is one of the best in EZA

You are really cool and you are totally atatched to your rules, respet.

Don, you are the wind beneath my wings.

We now have an Easy Allies fan group on Facebook, for those of you interested! There's literally only a few of us right now so I'm hoping this post (and others) will pull in a load more members. Come join us! <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1726278730989525/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/1726278730989525/</a>

Dunno if it's just me but I got a kinda Noir vibe while listening to Don describe his road trip and Sengoku. Love the show, I'm crossing my fingers Don is able to find a way to do more of these eventually or at least some other type of show.

Fantastic stuff once again, Don! The description of the events surrounding you discovering Sengoku really made it even more special. Keep it up!

Chris Orr

I like how it looks like this show may have a dramatic arc... This is the episode where we first learn that Don may have a gambling problem. Four episodes from now there will be no games, only tears.

James Kennedy

This has a great feeling to it! I actually love the audio style!

In Australia we have a saying. Is Don, is good.

I need more Don in my life

ArkhamFantasy

Pitch and Toss is what that game is known as in the UK..,, or "pigeon toss," as I misheard as a child

This show is just rad. Great Saturday gift from EZA.

Daniel Ray

I'm loving this series!

Good vibes on this video! :D

OverNightGaming

This has become one of my favorite shows.

Jason Walstrom

My favorite EZA series next to the podcast.

Great episode! The low-fi audio is perfect, it captures the grittiness of Don's life.

I was entertained and felt pleasure while watching this episode. Thanks, Don, you're a legend!

Brian "FriendlyMerlin" A.

Another great episode! Personally I dig the dodgy audio, it adds to the whole vibe of the show. I think if you went for an intentionally bad audio it would ruin, it too, so don't mess with it too much. It's not bad audio, it just adds character.

Great show, Don! You should appear more on allies' videos.

Sengoku looks so cool! Never heard or seen it before.

Goddamn the way you narrate has me on the floor xD great episode

Damm, what an awesome gem you found here, don. Thats just amazing, so much crazy stuff and original things happening in that game! 10/10

This is an amazing series, great job on this. It's got that exact right feeling of sleaze that accompanies finding hidden and amazing stuff no one else knows of. I mean that in a good way, bravo Don! Get us that Don's Derby Club tshirt release on the next episode too!

Super episode. Love how it turned out in the end. That's so real, like life. You're pure magic Don!

MBUN

I see some on point comments about the audio! I absolutely agree that it's perfect just the way it is. Really adds up to the personality of Don's Discount Gaming. Overall another great episode, Don is such a cool and chill guy, I'm so glad he get to have his own show.

Monika

I love these so much. Not much else to say other than that I just really really love what you've done so far and I'm really looking forward to that next episode.

That game has awesome music.

I wanna play quarters with Don....

Mikey "MyxeQ" Novak

This is a great show i have added it to my weekly must haves. Thanks for your hard work Don

Really fun concept !

I'm really liking this urban feel in these episodes. Keep it at least on current level.

Ville Ranto

I agree. This episode was great and the audio gives it personality. Maybe you could even build off of the audio and have it be a part of the show in a more real sense.

Olf Himself

Great video, Don! Other than expected (which is a good thing)!

That was another great episode, Don. The production value and the narratives are so on point. About the audio, I love it how it is too, it just sets an "investigative" tone to it, reading your post now it doesn't sound like it was intentional but it works for me.

Great 2nd video Don, your already raising the bar. I love Sengoku too.

Michael Rielly

while the lofi mic matches the thriftshop and retro nature of this series, give this man a portable tascam or something :) oh ps: love the show Don! this episode was even better than the last one, love it when the allies talk about their youth growing up playing videogames..

Don FWIW I kinda dig the sound quality. Makes it sound like listening to a shady secret tape or something, IMO adds to the aesthetic. As long as its clear and audible it works.
