New era?

New era?

No

I was looking for this thread

When will Damiani get fired?

What happened?

I didn't see their tweet saying the link had been sent out yet, but sometimes I miss it so fuck it, here's the thread.

Not soon enough.

why is Don so pure

>Damiani isnt that bad
>Didnt pay any attention to Nier
>Goes autismo mode on amiibo

Fire his ass

>they had to disable comments and dislikes on his last nier video

he won't get fired, he'll leave and blame it on toxic white males. I don't care either way, this guy ruins everything he touches and the yearly game sleuth that he'll shit out is not worth him being in every other podcast.

>Sup Forums - youtubing streaming e-celeb bullshit

>that Nier playthrough
>that ending

wew fucking lad was that bad

What happened?

Oh wow
Love and respect huh guys better not say anything negative ever.

How did Blood allow a video to be posted with votes and comments disabled? How is this not a shitstorm in the fanbase right now?

It almost can't be put into words.

He gave up on the credits, ignoring the chat and the comments the game tells you

He called games silly little things

During his playthrough he would switch to easy mode if he died once

They're getting awful man. The channel turned into shitty podcasts and streams.

>Tfw want retrospective every month
>In cup of jones, when he ask for retrospectives back in GT, he wants a series that's older then 10 years
>Picks the souls series because Brad can't shut up about it

Amazing.

Why am I not surprised?

Damiani BTFO

report neogaf threads

"Love and Respect" is killing them and every channel like them. An absence or criticism and any negativity becomes an echo chamber, wherein all they need to do is satiate the teenage trannies and desperate fans that send them free shit every week. It's pathetic and they have terrible quality control.

>new Frame Trap comes out
>OMG DARK SOULS
Every fucking episode.

Anyone has some timestamps for the damiani nier video? Is fucking 4 horus long

Jones, upload the podcast already. Like wtf, man.

WE LOVE
AND RESPECT
LOVE
AND LOVE
AND RESPECT

LOVE LOVE LOVE
RESPECT RESPECT RESPECT

THE EASY ALLIES SHOW!!

WOAH WOAH WOAH
SPOILERS MAN

I never watch the livestreams so I don't know what all this Nier controversy is but Damiani really pissed me off on last week's podcast.

>Be the self appointed "Nintendo expert" of the group
>When discussion of Nintendo ceasing production of the NES Classic comes up, the only contribution ot the discussion he can make is "Nintendo hates money!".

I'm pleased Kyle at least tried to push him for a serious answer (at which point Damiani just went into NeoGAF conspiracy mode) but frustrated that not a single person on the panel was able to touch on the most obvious reason for why Nintendo would stop producing the NES Classic (licensing issues with all the third-parties).

>Sony dicksucking
>bad journalism
>e-celebes
Same busted old era

>"Nintendo hates money!"
Sup Forums has said that shit for years

Id expect ecelebs with podcasts to give more insight into things than Sup Forums shitposters

Yes; because it's a funny thing to say when Nintendo makes the crazy decisions it makes. But saying it as a contribution to a gaming discussion podcast and then doubling down on it when pressed (because Damiani loves to be "le master ruseman") is just frustrating.

Damiani is one of the reasons I stopped watching the East Allies, that and I have no time to listen to five podcasts a week.

Damiani is the main reason I never gave them money because at least I can ignore Ian.

I'm not being paid to say it though.

>at least I can ignore Ian.
>there are at least three Ian-centric shows on their trash heap of a channel
>whenever anyone else has things to do he fills in on the podcasts since no one wants to be around him
Ian is every bit as bad as Damiani. They are both cancer and the main contributors to their stagnation

>obvious reason for why Nintendo would stop producing the NES Classic (licensing issues with all the third-parties).


Nintendo is a big multinational coorporation, they make plans months ahead, a year or two ago when they concieved the idea of the NEW/Famicom Classic they also determined its life cycle, making more units all th way to april was the most they could deviate from their original plan, the NES/Famicom classic was always going to be killed this quick, as you say , the licenses arent eternal , they probably only got so much time on them and third parties would ask for more to renew it given the success of the thing.

I miss the old Gametrailers, especially around E3.

is that a tranny?

...

You mean back when anyone gave a shit and didn't constantly phone it in appealing to the same people forever and ever?
I remember when they used to make actual shows, with actual production. Man what a fucking concept

No...... why is that the first place your mind went to?

I don't watch any of Ian's shit so I miss 90% of him, Damiani is shoe horned into everything else and wreaks the discussion by going off topic and talking over everyone.
He even ruined the last half hour of a gundam stream by barging in and talking about Zelda, when the guys tried to talk about other things he would bring up Zelda again.

Ian use to be unbearable but he has calmed down a little, he goes off topic less and less and I have not see a screaming ten minute rant from him on frame trap in weeks.
My only problem with Ian now is he hates video games and just uses the Easy allies to post his shitty "art".

It has nothing to do with licensing. Any company in their right mind would want to make money on what is effectively vaporware. Hell, with Nintendo's shady business practices in the NES era; I bet they would outright own most titles licensing.
Nintendo only makes small amounts of consoles at a time so they can cater to their niche market by 'selling out' to make their little business a bigger deal.
Nintendo fans are mobilized. If the supply keeps 'selling out' fans are gonna keep camping out Toys R Us for the latest stock and buying it immediately. Where they either flip the merchandise or sell it to their other 'collector' friends.
It's just a clever marketing gimmick asspies and autists can't see through.

no bully ian

...

Who the fuck are they?

>People are complaining that he shit on Nier

Nier is a really fucking garbage game so who cares?

>he hates video games and just uses the Easy allies to post his shitty "art"
And somehow he's better than Damiani? On what fucking planet. Ian encapsulates everything wrong with people working in videogames

They have amassed their fans, they dont need to try hard anymore, tons of people that give them money just so they have a safe /comfy space to relax, no talent or real insight needed
Now they can make videos about pleb anime with opinions a 13yo will have and building plastic toys
Its really sad, but we will all check them out during E3 Im sure

There's no point in creating "artificial demand" for a product you're never going to sell again.

My guess is they didn't expect the NES Classic to be as successful as it was. When they realized how popular it was they immediately went to the third-parties to extend the licenses. The third-parties also saw how popular the device was and naturally all wanted a bigger cut. The device itself is only $60. If all the third-parties demand more royalties then any profit Nintendo makes is soon gone. Nintendo probably did the math and came to the conclusion it wasn't worth producing a second batch.

...

>mfw it's true they disabled comments in the Nier Ending video

Oh wew

They say they love receiving not just love but also criticism, then proceed to disable comments when people express their dislike because "some people in the comment area were just haters".

Very mature.

Their patreon has plateaued hard at sub 7k. They will never make the $50k goal because they refuse to put in the effort to expand their audience. Look at the views on their videos compared to their subscribers compared to their patreons, it does not paint a pretty picture

Yes he is because I see less of him and because he no longer impedes discussion anymore.
Ian is a seat filler on podcasts, Damiani acts like some sort of Messiah sage of the Easy Allies whose opinion holds more weight than everyone else, worse the other allies seem to feel the same way.


Ian is the annoying SJW but Damiani is the autist at school who never took the hint that nobody likes him and he needs to shower more.
He is a browner, fatter and more successful chris chan.

But thats the thing they dont need the 50k, they will just keep on going with 40k for years and years

Couple people brought that up in the last Cup of Jones.

Bosman Tier

Literally Who? Tier

Can we all agree?

If that's all they want to do then I guess it's up to them. If I were in their positions and wanted to make a full time job of this shit, I'd be trying a whole lot harder to actually DO something instead of making the same insipid rehashed podcasts forever, but that's me
>EZA podcasts are 30 minutes of light news and 45 minutes of answering emails
>Frame Trap is 3 hours of talking about the same four games and 1 hour answering emails
>anything with Ian is trash
>Damiani sucks the soul out of anything he's involved in
>Kyle is a neurotic fag so in his own head that he refuses to ever make anything again
It's fucking shameful how lazy they all are

I've played games with damiani before, before easy allies
he's a faggot lol

Watched some old Invisible Walls last week, that was some good shit. Marcus and Shane had some good arguments, as much of a shitter as Shane was.

Don Tier

FTFY

Don is God tier.

I don't know why people jerk off over Bosman, he hates everything and does not contribute besides the podcast.

I think they are just not very ambitious, they are amazed this thing got rolling in the first place. So now they are just doing the bare minimun while the easy money and gifts flow

Story time

Numbers will skyrocket during E3.

Why doesn't Bosman ever do anything?

>dropped P5 because the MC was too cool

I expected him to dislike the game for being heavy on story and having strong japanese themes but this was even worse somehow

He's turned into JonTron

And a month later they'll be back at 6k since people will realize that they don't make anything worth paying for. Cup of Jones is not an enticing reward
I seem to recall this exact thing happening last year at E3

No one else is as outspoken and opinionated as Damiani, shame he can't express himself that well. Damiani at least tries to shit on devs and publishers while the rest of the crew is like "Okay, how can we be as nice and respectful about this as possible?"

And it's a shame Damiani can't into commentary or chat interaction. He streams the most but is the most boring person to watch.

>simply shitting on a person is criticism

and yet the worthless nigger mods do nothing about these blatant neogaf shill threads

Damiani

Welcome to NeoGA/v/, where Sony and eCelebs can do no wrong.

It's the ending although the entire play-through was a shitshow.

>Damiani on podcast: "I hate these scalpers and people who buy multiple copies of Nintendo products when they announce them!!!"
>Damiani on Twitter: "Got lucky and just pre-ordered 10 of each new Zelda amiibo. Will keep them indefinitely, just for safety. If anyone can help me get more, hit me up."

He's by far the worst member of Easy Allies.

Yeah, I bet 100% of the posts were shtting on Damiani.

By the way, saying "Damiani, I really didn't enjoy your attitude while playing the game" is not 'shitting on' the person.

Why is Huber so high on these lists?
He's not that good.

He is hilarious.

He's the child in all of us.

And as a long-time SEGA fan I was right there with him losing my shit at Sony's E3 2015 conference.

Remember before you came to Sup Forums and actually loved videogames? That's Huber.

Can some please explain the nier thing?

Most comments in the videos are just "Damiani sucks" and whatnot.
That's not criticism.

Damiani shit all over a really bad game. Weebs got butthurt

Jones is a big fake. With spending more time with him with EZA you come to realize that he's super eager to sell out and he pretends to know everything. When asked about something he doesn't know about he says it's right on the tip of his brain. He's afraid to say he doesn't know unless it comes to how they can make EZA better.

How much do you want to bet there were no mean comments and it was just someone legitimately wondering what Brad actually does for EZA.

>be eceleb
>cant deal with shitposting and cry like a little bitch

Every time man.

So nintenbros are mad they didn't get it and Sony/PC fags are mad cause he insulted it

Who cares?

So cause he sucks every games dick he's great?

He has the occasional quip nothing more.

>So nintenbros are mad they didn't get it

They should be glad considering the game sucks shit

"Most" is not "all". They could very well delete those, instead of simply disabling comments and the like / dislike bar.

All e-celebs are cancer. Quarantine board when?

Man you are mad about not getting it

more like people asking him stop having his landwhale girlfriend on streams

He wasn't saying that about himself, he was saying that for his gf after people started shitting on the twitch mods

I bought it used. The game is fucking shit. People only force it because of tryhard waifu garbage.

This happened?
Fuck I missed it, details?

more context

Jones has outright said a few times on podcasts and streams he is a sell out and will do what is best for the company.

I bet it was exactly that. Brad seems like a cool dude, but he doesn't do anything there. This Souls retrospective seems more like an excuse to say he does something than a genuine retrospective.

He barely, BARELY reviews games, has no shows of his own other than a MONTHLY one which he was supposed to host but ended up being carried forward by Ben Moore and streams once every week.

He gets $4k~ every month for that. Think about it.

As a long time GT fan I was super relieved to learn that EZA was a thing and existed. But after a year of them not getting any better and the content turning into just one set up with hours of talking is so tedious and boring. They've given up on insightful comments and have just resorted to saying things are "Very Cool".

People with not even a fraction of the money and only two members produce way better videos more often with actual production values and they only get a couple of views.

All in all after the first year I'm pretty disappointed that they're comfortable in just keeping it going as easy as possible, But hey, I guess it's in their name.

EZA needs adults like Jones and Blood to succeed

>He gets $4k~ every month for that. Think about it.
Sure, buddy.
