Hi Allies--
It's me again, filling up your inbox with reckless abandon. It was brought to my attention that our original poll for Group Stream Night included a game that definitely will not be out before tomorrow night, so we must have a new vote:
StarTropics vs Hitman vs Samurai Gunn.

Hi Allies!
Monday was Memorial Day in the US, but there's still plenty of streaming left to do this week. Of note: Damiani has booked a beefy Friday time slot for Naruto, Kyle repents for missing Dumb Game Monday with a bonus PokéPark stream on Wednesday, and Huber is playing a little Dragon Quest VIII on Saturday. As always, you ca...
2016-05-31 08:32:34 +0000 UTC View PostGood evening! (for me at least)
Here's our show schedule for this week. Nothing out of the ordinary, but I did finally finish The Banner Saga 2, so look forward to that review. For those wondering, I just started on The Witcher 3: Blood & Wine tonight. Not sure how long it will be to finish, but trying to get that review out as...

Here's an episode of Easy Update where I sing a song about my only love and hang out on the couch with Omar and Bender.
My personal opinons of it is that it came together ok. I like the song, and the visual stuff I did with these new plugins I bought for myself. I think the talk with Omar is chill and nice, we mostly talk about mo...

For my first Easy Allies review, I sure picked a divisive game among the group. Hopefully I've effectively made my case for what type of player would get a kick out of Battleborn, and what Gearbox could have done to appeal to a wider audience. Thanks for giving me the time to add some of my own stars to the EZA review collective!

Hi everyone,
Just a quick reminder that part three of the Hearthstone tournament will begin tomorrow (5/27) at 3:00 p.m. PST and end at 10:00 p.m. PST. If you know you have a match, please be ready by ensuring your opponent is on your battlenet friend list. It's hard to say when exactly your match will be. Here's the current bracket:

Bloodworth here,
Ben recently got a chance to check out Civilization VI, and was given 60 turns to make the most of it. This being our first official preview makes it somewhat of a milestone for Easy Allies, although it's more of a continuation of getting "back in the saddle" so to speak. Previews come up as the opportunities arise so do...

Huber gets dark and twisted when he talks about Manhunt and murder.
Hi Allies!
On this week's EZA Podcast it's time to finally surrender ourselves to E3, digging into the first two press conferences, EA and Bethesda. Video link above, secret audio link below.

Hello dear patrons! I have good news! Last Saturday we shot the latest batch of Tabletop Escapades and I think you're in for a treat. The shenanigans that ensue are some of the craziest and most hilarious yet. As far as this particular episode is concerned, things start off with a bang. Law has to make the most important decision of his life and th...
2016-05-25 18:51:28 +0000 UTC View PostHi Allies-
What are you thinkin' we should think about this week? On last week's podcast we learned what the deal is with IGN's purchase of GameTrailers, and Jones had a sweet movie idea involving a world made up of Tetrominoes on the molecular level. So, serious questions, stupid questions, I want them all. Let me know in the comme...

To make up for a late episode last week, here’s a tour of EZA HQ. After I was done cutting it I noticed a bunch of things I forgot to point out, but hopefully it’s an interesting look at the place the Allies now call home. Leave your questions here (or in the previous episode) for next Monday’s regular episode. Have a great week, everyone!
On this episode of Frame Trap, we have the largest panel yet with Brad Ellis, Michael Huber, Kyle Bosman, and Ian Hinck all filling up guest spots. Topics of discussion include Doom, Uncharted 4, Batman: The Animated Series, Valkyria Chronicles, Tearaway, Destiny's leaked expansion, and Kyle's fascinating encounter with an escape room.

UPDATE:
It's 7pm PT, time to call the vote or Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon, and I've discovered the game does not run on my Xbox 360. Tonight I'll be streaming a Mystery Bonus Dumb Game, and then we'll pick up Bruce Lee on Monday, June 6th, since I'll be away next Monday. I guess if we come back here and Spyro has somehow overtaken...

Most of these will stay the same each week, but things always shuffle a little of course. Let us know what you think and have a great week!

Coming in right before the end of the week is this round of fancy cups and EZA updates. Huge week for the Allies, and lots of questions to cover after taking a week off. Thanks to everyone helping us get closer to our new milestones.
Fresh episode tomorrow as well!

How's it going fellow Patrons? This will be the last update for Game Sleuth before the first episode finally arrives. You get your first sneak peak at the graphics/logo being used for the show, a confirmation on the status of where the show will live (tl;dr - on EZA YouTube), and a final window for the first episode - before E3 week. New episodes w...

Trainer Jones is back, and this episode is a doozy. I might even go so far as to call it self-indulgent, but honestly that's because I love shooting this show and I love having these conversations. Brandon has returned from his vacation looking almost like a certified a Pokémon master, but it's clear he still has a couple things yet to uncover. If...

Huber imagines what it's like to cheat on a significant other as he sits down to discuss Dark Souls III without the other Allies.
On our group stream this week we announced two new Patreon milestones: The E3 of Dreams 2016, and Trailer Jones. We knew our next milestones would have to be something we were capable of producing right away, but also something our community could get excited about, and has been asking for.

Hi Allies--
Apologies for the late arrival, but here it is: this week's Easy Allies Podcast. If you missed our big announcement this week, you might be surprised to hear the voice of Michael Damiani, who has once again abandoned Texas for the glitz and glamour of video games coverage in LA.

This week on Tabletop Escapades, our heroes finally reach town, giving them a chance to roleplay and uncover some crucial information. Additionally, quite a bit happens with Law this episode as he frantically tries to find a way to deal with his infected foot. I hope you all enjoy the shenanigans and I'll see you next week.

I bet those are two words you were not expecting to see in the Patreon for Easy Allies. Today I helped IGN announce that they have acquired GameTrailers.com, YouTube.com/GameTrailers, and the entire video archive that still remains after several site revisions over the years. Their purchase was just the URL, the YouTube account, and the videos. The...
