The thing is that I wouldn't have been bothered by it if this bet was for werehogs (and he was cheating/finding loopholes or whatever you want to call it to get those).
But again, let's all agree to disagree and enjoy EZAs other wonderful content without being at each others troat.

(There is 5 pages on this topic and I'm catching up.) But, I did mention contract law and past bets vs expectations in my orginal post and said nothing of the negatively of video game culture. So, I guess I'm not sure where you think I'm overracting?
People did get a bit silly over a bet. And that was what my post was commenting on.
Plus. Kyle still has to survive the council of nine.
The ninth is Sophie.
*edit*
Yeah, sorry if you didn't mean to sound harsh, melon. What I wanted to say is that dogpiling on the thread with angry words like "shameful, ridiculous" and the ever-popular "entitled" might not help the overall tone of the discussion, which I was enjoying at that point.
Whoa whoa whoa, no personal attacks dude, don't go there.

Bossman should be banned from the prestigious Slusser cup. He should now be relegated to the Troll Bowl. Damiani vs Bosman
He avoids playing ALTTP to play the trash that is Skyward Sword.
That's the real troll.
Honestly, it's kinda funny that he finds these loopholes and shit, but in the end he comes off as being kinda scummy. I really like his betting specials with Huber, but it's kinda pointless if he's just gonna bullshit his way through every time he loses. When Huber lost he played his flute concerto without any shenanigans.

How far did he get last night? Did he make it to the end of the speedrun or does he have one last day? I fell asleep before it ended.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Wow. Taking it too seriously. They should just relax. It's a joke man. Don't they get it?
Yeah although in fairness he spent far longer there than he needed to... because he loves it so much, and rightly so... because the intro is (IMO) a very enjoyable intro to the Zelda timeline with fun characters and well designed exposition.

What? I wasn't calling him a little bitch or jackass like some people have. I was using it as a joke, saying that Huber and Ben are fine manly men specimens, like noble Samurai who respect the bushido code of honour and all that (you know, like how Huber is 3/4 Viking and Ben is basically a Japanese Husbando).
People need to chill a bit.

Kyle Bosman should be kicked out of Easy Allies quite frankly. Any man who can't honour a bet is no man at all, and the discord amongst the community that his despicable trolling behaviour has caused lately leads me to believe that he doesn't adhere to the same love and respect mantra that the rest of the crew lives by and promotes on a regular basis. He's obviously not a team player, but rather someone who revels in conflict formed by his own petty actions, and I think it's high time he bid farewell to the team, for the good of us all.
Let the Easy Allies continue to be just that - easy allies.

Yeah, at least with the standup he actually delivered the jokes himself. This is like putting on a netflix standup special and reading a book in the background. I don't really find the betting games that appealing or fun anymore if this kind of stuff is going to keep happening.

What is all the drama about? I watched the stream and saw nothing wrong with it. I don't understand the troll, someone explain please.

He already streamed a complete play through!
Or is it?
Maybe... luckily I'm under no contract to confirm or deny
3.5 stars -- lacking in verisimilitude and controversy, but solid overall
He was pimping the Charity moments after the SGDQ video flashed up

Mhmm. What I'm learning here is that some people are really defensive of A Link to the Past.

Kyle was supposed to stream A Link to the Past because he lost the E3 betting special against Huber but instead he's been blowing it off. He played less than 5 minutes in the first stream and in the next one just ran a speed run in the corner while he played the intro to Skyward Sword instead. He only has 3 chances/streams to fulfil the bet and hasn't given it an honest try yet. Some people are annoyed at this, some people think it's funny and like it, some people think it's funny but are disappointed because they wanted to see Kyle actually play through it and give his reasons for why he hates it so much.
bosman tried to weasel his way out of his bet. some people didnt think it was _that_ funny. other people think that a few people saying it wasnt _that_ funny is them playing right into a masterful troll. unclear if they think bosman is funny or if trolling people is funny or both. any discussion is now being shut down by hyperbole from both sides.
Again, "giving them credit" doesn't make what he did okay for me. He was supposed to be doing his own playthrough of ALTTP, but instead he randomly took someone else's work off of youtube and put it up for his run. That's not making your own content. I supported them on Twitch for their own content on it. Playing Skyward Sword over it doesn't make it him making his own content either when it was supposed to be an ALTTP run. The whole thing was just really gross, doubly so since an ongoing charity that takes an immense amount of work was involved while he just haphazardly threw up their work on his stream.
While I do agree his not honoring the bet how it was inteded is not respectful to Huber (and it does show him as a non-teamplayer), I wouldn't go so far as kicking him out. I do agree that a lot of people in this thread have become uneasy allies because of this (which is not really how EZA was inteded at all).
Kyle lost the E3 bets showdown, here's the contract he signed (ridiculous for them to do a contract, but it's because Kyle kept weaseling out of bets):
For his first stream he just played for about 2 minutes then quit, saying he couldn't take any more. For his second stream he streamed someone else's play-through of ALttP because it arguably fits within the specific wording of the contract. He only has one session left if he's going to honor the spirit (or arguably even the actual terms) of the contract, and everyone's freaking out. Some people are annoyed that Bosman keeps trolling, some people are happy that people are annoyed, etc., etc. We don't know what's going to happen yet with a third stream or a supposed council/trial or something that Bloodworth apparently mentioned on twitter. That's about it.
I think that one is obviously a joke, man.
I don't care about A Link to the Past to be honest, I just think if you bet something you should do your best to keep that bet (and he knows very well how it is intended).
The streams are funny, but a real man honors his bets. That said, I usually really like Kyle and most of the content he produces, so no big whoop.
Probably, but just to be sure. You lose all of the nonverbal communication by writing on the internet.
Yeah, we get it. It seems like you're trying to make this a thing for other people and that isn't going to happen. It's fine if you think it's "gross" but it seems like you're the only person THAT offended by it.
You're too lenient.
Quite frankly, I'd also ban him from Twitch, due to his shameful behaviour.
i'd like to reiterate this too.
Pretty much. Also, there were like maybe two people actually mad about it and everyone else was just playing along with the bit.
I say ban him for 2 months from EZA content..
I am a patron and I feel entitled to ask for it
huge sarcasm levels for anyone believing it
It's plain for all to see that Kyle should be kicked out of Easy Allies, but why draw the line there? I don't think that's going far enough.
Do we have any legal experts in here that might be able to suggest whether this bet welching would be enough to be considered treason towards the United States of American in a court of law. I'm wondering whether being permanently banished is the most appropriate punishment, or perhaps some serious jailtime?

Only if we can discover the secret to the Pokemon bio-organic digitizing tech so that we can store him in a PC and insert him into a Link to the Past rom for all time.
god dammit
