The Trickster questions get *so* much more aggravating than that
Damn I know more random trivia facts then I would have thought lol. Was answering along with them and got a lot of the questions right.
Are they seriously planning on doing this monthly? I hope Ian is finally getting a full-time salary for the amount of editing needed.
I think it's one loot drop per successful answer against a defeated monster but some of the rules weren't entirely clear.
Loved the episode, had a few good full laughs too. Huber looking into the camera and asking the audience how they were doing was perfect, and Jones laughing at the moment made it even better.
My only question is what kind of contestant rotation will there be and what are the chances of developer/industry contestants coming on. I love EZA, I love the chemistry they have, and I love love love the idea unsuspecting developer guests getting sucked into being a contestant.

lmao don't change Era :DThis is a good suggestion. An outline would fix this up immediately.
Also another nitpick. There's some stray pixels in the big thing that weren't made transparent.
And even some images to prove the answer, for example, with the Space Invaders question.
I haven't played ALTTP in forever so I don't remember the exact mechanic, but from how Damiani described it you use the mirror when in the Dark Realm which brings you to the Light and creates a portal in that spot in the Light world to go back to the Dark. Considering the method of going back to the Dark world is using a portal that was created by the mirror I think it's still fair to say that you use the mirror to go back. I'm not sure I would have accepted that correction tbh.
Sorry if this has already been answered... is this a bit? Like they are pretending it's a real show? Or is this actually a show, I watched half of it. And I don't understand what's going on.
They don't really bother with setting up just about any of the rules. Like the shop stuff, scoring, and the health stuff. It's a real show that needs some workshopping to reach its full potential.
Gotcha.
Yea the lack of explanation makes it feel like a bit, like I'm not supposed to get it. Like an Eric Andre game show or something...
But I hope the rules are actually in place and consistent cause I love this stuff.
Simple rule of thumb when asking this question while watching EZA content:
If Kyle is there, it's a bit.
If Kyle is not there, it's probably not a bit.
In this case, Kyle was not there, so it is safe to conclude that it was not a bit.
It is not a bit, will be a recurring show, and has a consistent ruleset.
Getting the rules to the viewers is tough. A full explanation would take several minutes with nothing interesting happening on screen, so we opted to jump right in and try to use the Wizard's Wisdom pop-ups to help. However, there was a good deal of confusion regarding weak point numbers/randomness and lucky loot tokens, so I think it's worth taking a bit more time to explain how those work specifically.
We'll be streamlining the process over time and figuring out the best way to keep viewers and contestants from being overwhelmed.
Bi-weekly might be feasible, but that's always a weirder schedule for people to keep track of in their heads.

This is...a tall order. The Allies need to arrange guests and schedules, and more importantly, it's an *extremely* time-consuming edit for Ian. I'm not an Ally so I can't speak to their schedule, but it's a lot.

This was fantastic! The enemy designs and the Sprite-work was all on point. I love the great shop as well. This definitely is well deserved for all the right reasons.
game shows usually tape 3-6 episodes a day. would it be possible to tape 2 (maybe 3) in one batch?
Since you'll be burning through questions quickly, do you think there will be an email address for patron-submitted questions?
I could think of a few unusual ones about European releases of games and their, at times, strange names.
I'm surprised he didn't even mention anything about how he got the absolutely perfect question
To be fair, several allies have played XIV and the city mentioned is a starting city, the kind of thing that appears in a generic product description of the game. I'm sure most of them could answer, if only needing some time to think. Just a "I don't recognize the name so it's not any I played" filter would boil down to XI or XIV for the ones that didn't play.
And if you're going to make questions for pop culture in general, unless you only go to the absolute surface of the medium, you can't avoid this kind of stuff. And i'd rather have the random "here's a Tales of question that probably only Ben can answer" than only having "which famous nintendo game features a red clothed italian protagonist?" that would avoid this 'issue'

This is incredible.
It has a lot of rough edges, but it's just spectacularly impressive that it exists and works as well as it does.
Game shows are also usually made by ~100 people, not ~10.
That's just the immediate staff per episode, they're also usually made by a production company with plenty of general staff above and beyond that, and budgets in the $millions.
