Good luck!
And after revisiting again through the best of videos I'm convinced that Ep 71 of the podcast is the best episode they've done. It's loaded with gold
I don't know how easy it is to set up, but the guys should really approach you (or another editor) to publish these best of on the main channel. Quite a bit of channels (especially of twitch streamers) do that and these videos are always among the most popular. There's so much EZA content out there, it'd be a nice way to keep up with the lore and all that.
Hell yeah!
So great you do these, man. Good luck trying to decide what Easy Livin' clips to use!
Dead space 3 is killing Huber.

Thanks Otoshi for the clip. It's been 30mmins since that happened and Huber is still not recovers from that cough.

Raps?
I still got "Ian and Don hit the beach" stuck in my head.
Both wrong, this was a Master Sifo-Dyas apology rap.
Nah I saw it I was just joking that this was recent while I still have that song pop into my head daily, months later.
im working on a full blown song for don's rap. i really really liked it. it's gonna take me a few days tho. but seriously, why didn't i eat the plain?
edit: lookin at kyle's face during don's rap he's clearly thinking like "oh no this is really good" but if you look at huber's face it's just nothing but "HOLY CRAP"
i love eza
3:45 on that video a couple posts up.

Don's was definitely the catchiest. The chorus melody has been stuck in my head too.
I'm also wondering about that, but there's nothing in the schedule yet from what I've seen.
Finally got a chance to sit down and catch up. All the raps were great. I love the fact that the allies can make these bets secure in the knowledge that they have a group of individuals who are creative enough to meet the challenge. I really enjoyed this weeks podcast, Damiani and Ian were on great form.
I found the mini Switch port videos for Skyrim and Rime very useful too. Having watched, I'll hold off on Rime but pick up Skyrim next year.
Completely agree, it felt incredibly good-humored and slightly loopy. Damiani's Dragon Ball FighterZ story had me rolling. Only criticism would be Jones comparing EA's implementation of micro-transactions to Kickstarter just after Podcast Halftime. Nah.

Very well written review, covers the game's systems succinctly and with real clarity. An "insidious implementation of loot crates" really sums it up. Credit to EA, it takes talent to make such a good-looking game seem ugly.
Excellent Battlefront 2 review, though I did expect the end score to be lower based on both the Frame Trap episode and the review itself.
Negative, critical Huber needs to be more of a thing though. Can't always be jolly about video games!

The lowest I'd ever see him going for it even listening to his FT thoughts was a half star from what he gave it.
you're not alone.
today i was all day "Eating right sometimes can jump you through some hoops but don't forget about the basic four food groups"
EZA are never going to bother reviewing shovelware though, which is potentially restricting their rating system by half. I personally think a 5/10 equivalent should mean "average" and if a game is bad you should use the full scale to reflect that.
The word "inferior" really sticks out to me. The only good things said about the game were the sound design and that the heroes were fun. The progression system is broken and pay to win. That's a bit more than "inferior" to me.
The graphics are incredible. The sound design is incredible. The core gameplay is solid, but the campaign is uninspired, and the dystopian business practices sink the whole ship significantly.
Huber's review is completely fair.
I would give tons of games less than that and nobody would say they are shovelware. Jade Empire, for instance.
Yeah, I also thought it was a fair score. Like, it could have been 2 stars or 2.5 stars and I would have accepted it either way.
Also, one thing I greatly appreciate about EZA reviews in general is that they take the time to explain the mechanics and how it affects the gameplay experience. Blood's GT Sport review was like that too.

They're different genres so I don't really compare the scores in my mind. Mostly I just pay attention to the text of the review and whether it matches with the final review score.
The scoring systems don't quite scale 1:1. The Allies themselves have said that 3 stars is about the same as a 7, not 6. Seems like Battlefront II still landed in the 6.X territory, which isn't very flattering.
Thats strange.
So a 3 star is a 7, but a 3.5 star isn't a 7, its an.....8?
It's not that strange IMO. Many outlets that use or have used a 1-10 rating system only ever use something like a 4-10 rating system in practice, with 7 being "decent" or "average". When scoring with 5 stars, it's visually easy to see that 3 stars should be about the average since it's in the middle, and this also allows EZA to make use of the whole scale.
They reviewed Umbrella Corps (1 star) and Mighty No 9 (2 stars), so no, sometimes they do review shovelware.
Obviously there won't ever be an official conversion chart (that would defeat the purpose of moving to stars) but I view it like this in my head:
3 stars = 7.0
3.5 stars = 7.8
4 stars = 9.0
4.5 stars = 9.5
5 stars = 10.0
3 stars = 7.0
3.5 stars = 7.8
(Really 8.0 but had to include a meme)
4.5 stars = 9.5
5 stars = 10.0
