I see Brandon is doing a full playthrough of the best Final Fantasy game, I hope the Verendus leak is true and a remake of that game is coming.

Alright. Nier Automata route b is done! 35 hours in and I've done 75% of the side quests. I know I could have done it faster if I skipped the side quests as they haven't been that compelling or rewarding but I'm oddly addicted to them. Not sure why. And I'm on track to finishe before Persona 5. So it's all good. Route b is as others and the review ben did seems a step down but it wasn't as bad as I feared. And now I'm ready for things to go into overdrive for the next playthrough!

Finally put some time into Hollow Knight and man not sure what it is but it's the first metroidvania in quite some time where exploration is really interesting. Exploring is a bit like in the steamworld dig kind of way fun. Don't quite know what it is but with games like Ori, Dust, Axiom Verge exploring had a very different vibe.
Also playing Hollow Knight made me realize that 2d metroidvanias are the kind of games I actively need to take a ton of small breaks for(like every hour like 10 minutes doing something else). Something about playing these games mentally tires me out which is honestly weird cause I can play dota, starcraft, well games I would consider more mentally demanding with far less breaks.

Finally got round to watching the live show, Bosmans rap was amazing but man Ian stole the show, that was incredible.
I can never trust a Roman Reigns fan like Verendus. Believe that.
j/k ily Verendus
We also need Bushido Blade VR
Guys, Verendus has been outed as a fake and permabanned from GAF six or so months ago. He just made up crap and nobody noticed before.

I don't think he was thoroughly a fake, he definitely had inside info but yeah, he finished his run of GAF with a slew of fake information just to rile GAF up.
I think BruceLeeRoy is the only insider I really trust now (and DemonNite but haven't seen him in a while).

What would be the incentive for Square to do a full blown remake of FF6? I know it's regarded as one of the best or even the best game, but that game in particular is not a franchise itself, like FF7.
Until they release the first episode of the FF7 Remake, I don't think we'll hear much else from Square anyway.

I mean Nomura has already come out and said after 7 he would like to remake V and VI. So we will see if that happens

Brandon's doing a Dissidia 012 full playthrough?!?!?!
They never make it to a shop before entirely burning the town anyway, won't matter.
I still need to beat this game, but every gameplay footage I watch makes beating it look like a giant pain in the ass.

An update on the march EZAnime might be good to have since it seems like is going to be delayed? And if it is a short Patreon post on that would be good just to let everyone know?
Aren't they doing One Piece, may take a lot to review.

Incidentally, A Link to the Past looks so easy whenever I watch it streamed. Can anyone attest to that game's difficulty?
Good point, still nice for Nikkater and Yogalla I suppose!
Wondering the same, I *really* want Ian to see Free Fire

As of right now, it's not getting delayed, but as someone else mentioned One Piece is a lot to review. If we do decide to delay we'll definitely communicate on Patreon and Twitter.
One Piece very understandably means a lot to many people and I'm not personally satisfied with how JoJo pt. 1 turned out. I want this next episode to be better. It also happens to be Persona 5 review time AND we're just getting off of the anniversary. Not trying to make excuses, but yeah it's just a lot all at once right now.
Regarding TTE, the economy is definitely borked, but we were getting to a spot where it was time to move on and get beyond Kalveed. That's what you're seeing now. It's basically me trying to move things forward while still giving them as much agency as possible. It's not perfect (it never is), but that's how it goes. I'm very excited for future developments!
P.S. - I really hope they do something crazy with that stupid amount of gold. What a wonderful/dumb mistake that was.
Have them find a giant coin pusher in the tunnels or some other cave
Watch as they spent the next 3 episodes slowly depleting their fortunes

This would absolutely work. Every coin spent.

Just add the lucky hit game in the next time they arrive. Huber will fix that money problem real fast.

Oh I see thanks for the update I was confused since it didn't show up on the release schedule made me jump to conclusions. Also didn't mean to cause additional stress sry if it did. Thanks for the hard work as always looking forward to both.

No I'm glad you spoke up! I forgot to put it on the schedule so it was good to clarify. No extra stress.
I don't think I've ever seen someone play the Lights Out minigame as good as him.

Ben should take notes on how well Blood played Lights Out
This is the one i wanted to suggest, italian superhero movie They Call Me Jeeg. I heard it recently screened in LA, i hope Huber gets a chance to catch up because i think he'd really like it.
I saw this movie a couple of months ago! There was a screening in my town with a director Q&A afterwards, I'd love to see Ian and Huber discuss it too

Speaking of Ben Wheatley films, I'd love to see Huber's live reaction to Kill List.
Amazing film that has some very disturbing imagery without being particularly gory. Complete mind-fuck as well.

So we're having an argument about streaming on Twitch in the Twitch chat right now. Basically, my question is, why is no one currently streaming the new DSIII DLC? Game is hot on Twitch right now, it's free exposure. My main issue with EZA is that they aren't nearly as day-and-date with everyone else.

Do you know if Huber is going to do any MLB 17 streams?

Because they want to play it before streaming it. I love EZA, but their fear of TeH SpoilerZ is always a gripe.
..but i do hope they have a special just played for it like the last DLC.

That's another issue I have with them. "Media blackouts" when you are both 1. the media and 2. a small team that needs every hand on deck, lol.
But they could easily avoid spoilers by doing follower/sub only chat. Many streamers are doing that right now.

uh.. I just streamed Mass Effect like a week before launch. Brad is streaming the new version of Kingdom Hearts II as soon as he can. Just because it doesn't happen with every single release, doesn't mean it isn't happening.

I'm not saying you never do it, and the comment is slightly more catch-all than just streaming a new game. Occasionally reviews are pretty behind (Nioh, Nier, Mass Effect, among others).

I'm sorry I haven't been quicker with it, but Arthur Gies got through Mass Effect by playing 80 hours in a week. That's not always doable for a variety of reasons. I probably could have done a little better with it, but a lot happened last week, and it was all pretty worthwhile.
Nah blood your doing fine same with all the Easy Allies busting your ass the last few weeks.

Honestly, I don't think the Allies should be rushing reviews to meet deadlines. It's nice when it works out but personally, I wouldn't mind if they decided to be a bit more picky going forward (especially now with Don't Skip). And better to have a great review, than one that's rushed to meet deadlines.
But that might just be my perception of it. I started watching late last year and it's been a pretty packed Q1 so it feels like they're trying to keep up with the sheer onslaught of games and this very well might be EZA being picky.
I would also love a GB quicklook type deal for for some of the games. Maybe balance the load between reviews, don't skip and quick looks. For example, I loved when Blood was playing Andromeda before one of the group streams. For me, that is all I need to see from that particular game along with listening to some of his thoughts. I'm sure other games will fall into that category as well in the future.

I have no problems reading reviews from trusted sources that aren't on the day of release. These days, I just can't buy many games day one due to a heavy backlog and $$$, so I'm more than fine with EZA and other places taking their time.
