Shot on a Tuesday, posted on a Thursday evening - here is your latest Cup of Jones. Questions answered, Comic-Con games reviewed, and a special, musical appearance by Amanda! I have some fun ideas for upcoming episodes. Thank you for giving me the time to finish this show when I'm able. Have a great weekend!

Huber doesn't expect you to watch this episode, but you may be surprised if you do.
This week on Tabletop Escapades, Law's war in Hethensberg ends and the rest of the party gets into trouble on the ship. Will they manage to make it ashore? Will Law survive? Find out in this nail-biting episode!
It's definitely another transitional episode this week in a lot of ways. Things are changing and I think those changes are leading t...

It's that time of the week where I collect your topics and questions for the Love & Respect segment on the Easy Allies Podcast. Last week we had one games biz question, one meaningful advice question, one genius game of Devil's Advocate, and one super short question about pizza. I like to pull this sort of variety,...

Hi Allies!
The penultimate episode of Brandon Plays Pokémon is here. I gotta be honest, as Brandon describes the oncoming sunset of his journey, I see a changed man. In nine episodes of this show I've seen him evolve from this regular guy who wasn't even sure this was an RPG into a Poké-pro who slides through his final ...

On this passionate episode of Frame Trap, the allies share their feelings on the Pokemon Go craze and how they enjoyed EVO 2016. There's also plenty of love for Kentucky Route Zero, I Am Setsuna, Inside, and Furi. Outside the realm of gaming, Huber expresses a lot of frustration about the WWE draft. The podcast ends with some heated talk about Soni...

Hi Allies!
Hi,
Please forgive the lateness of this post! I just got home from shooting frame trap and four DnDs! It was a super fun day, but also pretty long, so I'm a little behind on this post!
I got home and now the DnDs are exporting, so all is well with the world!
How are all of you? You are all wonderf...

Huber recently got to check out the new Deus Ex one last time before release, replaying the intro mission and getting deep into side-quests along with a bit of Breach mode. I sat down to talk with him about what he's played so far as we're both neck-deep in capture for the upcoming Deus Ex Retrospective. -Bloodworth

When I first heard about Mighty No. 9, I was filled with hope and enthusiasm. I've always loved Mega Man in all its permutations and I think its fair to say the series has gotten the Capcom shaft over the years. Mighty No. 9 was a chance at redemption. Unfortunately, it is not the successor I was looking for. There are some interesting ideas here a...

Hi Allies! It's Tabletop time again. Episode 16 is definitely one of the most ambitious episodes of the series. We tried a whole bunch of things that we haven't done before. Hopefully, you enjoy where things ended up. Regardless, this is definitely the start of a new "arc" for Tabletop. I'm excited to see where things go.

Hi Allies!
We've got a real interesting episode of Brandon Plays Pokémon this week. With the entire map unlocked, Jones takes a healthy trip to discover anything he's missed, including an intensive search for the final gym. Where could it be? There's nothing left on the map!
It definitely seems like we hav...

Square Enix and tri-Ace reunite to take us to the vast reaches of space in Star Ocean, but the latest entry, Integrity and Faithlessness, is a less-than-stellar RPG.

Huber talks about the importance of story and emotion in another two-part episode.
This one is definitely late, but I just had to get my formalized thoughts on Zero Time Dilemma out there. The Zero Escape series has been a wild ride and one that I've greatly enjoyed. I'm happy ZTD lived up to my expectations.

Hi Allies!
This week's Easy Allies Podcast is here. Of course we gotta talk this whole Pokémon Go nonsense, then this whole WB/YouTuber nonsense, then this whole Evolve free to play nonsense, and finally we have some very fun Love & Respect topics to cover. Video link above, secret audio link below.
Hello allies! It's that wonderful time of the week again. Those of you excited by the idea of the group leaving the town will hopefully enjoy this episode. The start of a new "shift" in the campaign happens here. As always, Law finds himself in a whole bunch of trouble, but in my opinion it's pretty entertaining seeing what he does to get out of it...

Questions, questions, and more questions! Pulling comments from the last four episodes of Cup of Jones, I spend most of this episode catching up on pre and post-E3 chatter. As we look to the future, it's also time to start talking about ways Cup of Jones will have to evolve to make sure we have time for the important stuff. Thanks to everyone who p...
