Correction: Easy Allies Reactions are typically posted on the main Easy Allies YouTube channel, NOT Easy Allies Plays. Therefore, The Game Awards 2018 reactions will likely be uploaded to the Easy Allies channel instead of EZA Plays

Tim Goemans

The fact that nobody on the panel knew any of the Tekken characters or even stopped to think for one second about Armor King cracked me up even harder than it did Kyle. Glorious content! Congrats on the studio and looking forward to it. L&R

Luke Sandstrom

Correction: Kenner never made a Grand Moff Tarkin action figure.

Xeltos

Correction: The song for Or Wars is not by All-American Rejects. It's a song by Eagle-Eye Cherry. Unless that was a slip up. lol

Is Brad’s mic on? He sounds like he’s just getting picked up on other people’s mics

regarding the epic store. Its great that they wanna give devs a better deal but I think there in the discussion is missing some things that isn't taken into account. first Steam is on PC but its covering 3 platforms of the PC (Mac, Linux and windows). if a dev makes a game that works on all platform they sell to a broarder community then on epic store and valve is using its own money to make sture steam works on all the platforms. Second Valve has been dumping a tone of money into Proton which is a engine that will let a windows game which is not portet to Linux run on that OS. That means they take the burden away from the devs to make a game that needs to work on that platform on PC. Valve does alot of legwork. I am not saying Epic store can't do this also but if I was looking at making a game and had to choose a store to put it on there are alot of factores to look at. Proton has an official list of games that they know are supported but you can actually even if its not on the list boot up the game and try it out. my brother is a 100% linux guy and he ash found many games that actually work fine without being on the list. The steam proton community keep giving valve feedback on this and they have been expanding the list.

Hoeg's new show on his YouTube is called Virtual Legality. They are short 20-30 minute episodes on the latest gaming news. I encourage people to check it out because it is always interesting to hear the "lawyer" side of things. And, yes, Jones the creature that grabbed Luke on the Death Star was a Dianoga.

I'm noticing that as well. They don't usually miss that nowadays, with Ian there as well as Brandon editing. Well Brad is at least louder in general so not super annoying so far.

Gustav Strömbom

For everyone wondering why 1 of the mics are off, they fix it at around the 30-minute mark =D

I love the Sony response^^ Especially considering that the Dead or Alive Extreme series is rated 12 in almost all countries^^ ah puritanism disguised as child protection or even feminism is the best (ie worst) kind of sexual repression^^

Puritanism?! But that would mean that we haven't progressed in over 200 years! That's umpossible. You must be a witch!

Love me some Eagle Eye Cherry, thanks Kyle

James Sanders

best Recruit Me debate yet! Way to hold true to your beliefs Jones!

Matthew Antezana

I love Huber, as do we all, but I cant express how wrong he is on that MGS question.

Aaron Amendola

This episode isn't showing up in my RSS Patron feed. Hmm.

CORRECTION: "Brisky" is not a word.

Correction/Clarification: Name of the dude who cried when the Rancor died in episode VI was Malakili (he was the rancor's handler) <a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Malakili" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Malakili</a> Fun fact: In the PS1 game Star Wars: Demolition (which was twisted metal, but in Star Wars), the Rancor was one of the "vehicles" you can play as... and Malakili was the "pilot"

Huber forgot his onimusha too at the end there but it’s all good lol

Jack Cullen

Correction: It's called "Quake Champions" not championSHIP... I've been playing it everyday for like a year at this point. Also it just recently went Free-to-play, and they are releasing a December update soon that will completely revamp the currency system to be more similar to Fortnite's Battle Pass. The game is not "finished" or "over" by any means :-) Love and Respect, Jack Cullen (Also you guys forgot my name in the podcast producers :-( )

Re epic store convo: could epic make fortnite an exclusive to their store? So if apple etc. wants to keep it, they have to allow the store? Would that be financially feasible/worth the huge risk? I have no idea the answer to any of these questions

Raven Perez

Marduck and Armor King are POKEMON! ?! HA HA HA HA. LEGENDARY!

Kyle was off the rails in this podcast and I love it! Haha

Joey

Alright, gonna defend Huber here. The boss he was talking about is "King K. Kutout" from the Creepy Castle level of DK64 (which happens to be the last traditional level of the game before the final boss fight). The boss is a large cardboard cutout of K.Rool that is quickly running around the perimeter of the arena and in order to defeat him you need to launch one of your Kongs in the arena's available cannons at him. As you hit him eventually he'll start losing limbs and once you knock off the head you win. However, if you miss a shot that Kong is gone for the rest of the battle. That means you can only miss five times before its game over and you have to try again from the beginning. Like standard Nintendo bosses, you have three phases: 6 hits - loss of arm 6 hits - loss of other arm 11 hits - that head is gone, baby. Anyway. Huber got far in that game. Not far enough to actually beat it and play in the wickedly awesome boxing match to end the game but props to him for grinding through anyway.

My entire library lives in Steam. Not only my Steam-Purchased games, but my HumbleBundle DRM-Free games have been added as "Non-Steam Games." Not only are all of my modern games launch-able through Steam or Big Picture Mode, with any of my controllers, but even my Emulated games, and Virtual Systems like Windows 3 (Myst), are one click away from launching via their respective Emulator through the use of the Target field in the built-in properties for Non-Steam Games. I've added many Custom Images to my Steam Grid View for both Steam games and otherwise from steamgriddb. Steam Grid View, Custom Images, and Non-Steam Games all work very well in unison with one of the still newer features of Steam, CATEGORIES. I have over 1k Steam games and over 200 Non-Steam Games either DRM-Free, Emulated, or on CDs, and Steam Categories (especially the built-in Recents) allows me to keep tabs on what I've played recently, what I want to play next, what is emulated, and from what, or games that ask for a CD, and which games need to launch with an external program such as Destiny 2. An external application called Steam Depressurizer will generate Categories from existing Tags or Genres from your associated Games' Store Pages which can tidy up a large Steam Library. Steam is clunky and old, but it is also very robust due to its many years of activity. I encourage you all to play with these features for yourself before you trap yourself into an ecosystem that equates to a bookshelf in its current form. Here's a cropped together view of one of my Categories the way I see them scrolling through my Grid View: <a href="https://i.imgur.com/DiZh8Gh.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://i.imgur.com/DiZh8Gh.jpg</a> Happy Hacking!

Correction: The games on the Epic Game Store won't be cheaper to the consumer. When a publisher signs distribution contracts with distributors (which includes the likes of Amazon, Walmart, Target, Steam and the Epic Game Store), there is a clause in the contracts that fixes the final price to make sure none of the distributor can undercut the others (not even the publisher himself when he happens to have a store (such as Playstation). This is the reason why games cost the same when you buy them say on the Playstation Store or at Gamestop. Publishing digital games costs less than physical version so without those clauses, digital games would be cheaper and the other distributors would feel cheated.

Eric Crone

I am one of those people who is stingy about using Steam and only Steam. I have a lot of friends on Steam that I talk to while playing games, and the overlay makes it easier to do so. There are already cheaper games on GoG and I never go there to buy them. In fact, I have actually avoided some games because they were not offered on Steam. So far it has usually EA games on Origin (I'm glad I missed Andromeda), but if there is a killer app I want on PC then I'll go through the store that it is sold on.

Pablo Leiva

We need a compilation of all the Or Wars intros. I'll take it as a podcast special

The Kirby discussion was fantastic.

Everytime I hear about the movie version of cats I think of the movie Six Degrees of Separation...
