Hey everyone! I know I said the end of May would be when this new episode would be dropping, however there is a realistic chance it will slip into the first week of June. The reason being is that at the end of my research, I found a thread that I wanted to try to see if I could get more info out of, and I got a reply regarding my questions. However...

I got to play Dreams! Woo! I’m excited because holding that PS4 controller was the last key to the puzzle of this game for me. It looks and sounds so promising. The creations are inspiring, but it’s unclear just how much the game does for you, and how much you can alter yourself. It turns out that there are very few places you can’t drill int...

Jones is remodeling his garage in preparation for new equipment most of this week and the earliest we'll be able to shoot the upcoming episode of Frame Trap is in the afternoon on Sunday. Because of this, the early access for Frame Trap won't go up on Saturday as it's normally supposed to. I will get the episode to everyone as soon a...

This post is my last official piece of business for the week before I start unplugging every piece of equipment Easy Allies owns. Cup of Jones might not sound different next week, but lots of changes are coming to our studio, from how it looks to how it functions. In the meantime, here's some clarification about how Judge's Week works and, at the e...

This is the week we finally put together all the equipment we've purchased recently, so Cup of Jones might look a little different next week. A few of you had questions about Judge's Week, so I think going into a bit more detail about how it operates makes for a good, light editorial. That and I have a fun outtake for those who stick around to the ...

Huber and I are still pumped for Days Gone, even more so after the demo we recently ran through at Judge’s Week. There are definitely technical issues still plaguing this game, and Huber has some concerns about the difficulty, but the world and the people in it are fascinating to explore. We can’t wait until we get the next chance to do so. Her...

We're back, baby! With a new logo and jingle that I hope you enjoy. I would like to continue to make some graphical tweaks to the show (like a mortise that the trailer can sit in when we do picture-in-picture) but we've made a bunch of changes since we last posted an episode of Trailer Jones. You can now see us as we watch the trailers, and we cove...

On the last day of Judge's Week, I got the chance to be among the first to play an hour of Black Ops IIII multiplayer. Brad immediately asks how I did, and the answer is - my best. It's frantic trying to understand each specialist, make their abilities work on the battlefield, and try to sort out all the new information. I incorrectly stated there ...

Hi everyone, Bloodworth here.
Last month, I got the chance to head up to Ubisoft and play the first four hours of The Crew 2. They have a new preview space with individual booths set up for 4K capture, making it really simple to just sit down and play. The only downside is that they didn't have it set up for us to control when to start / st...

As always, he's honest and insightful, sharing some crowdfunding chall...
