Had to miss pretty much all of today's stream and won't be home until later, any mention of progress on the new studio?

First time hearing this remix, this is amazing.

I should point out that no one is like... upset that he wanted to go home to his cats. It's 100% people worried about him getting into an accident because he nods off for a second while driving.

WE CARE ABOUT THE MAN.

Damiani would know this if he watched Better Call Saul like Kyle and Huber.

Wow people made way too big of a deal over damiani. Obviously no one here is in favor of any form of impaired driving, but guys we have no idea how long he has to drive and whether or not he was actually not capable of doing it. An arguement I saw many people make on the last few pages was "if he can't play a game then he can't drive!" That's not a fair arguement to make. If he has eye fatigue looking at a big light emiting screen is harder than looking at the road. Unless he showed major signs of nodding off during the stream none of us are in a position to harshly criticize him for driving home when he did.

He was too tired to play a video game( he showed those signs). He had no business behind the wheel no matter the distance (and it wasn't a short drive). There's no defense for it. Kyle today even regretted letting him go but he just left w/o saying goodbye

I think all the allies were scheduled with enough sleep time. I'm guessing lack of AC was a huge factor in a lot of the allies not being able to sleep well. They mentioned it being very hot and having to sleep in sweat a few times.

Suggestion for next year: Easy Livin' Mountain Retreat (but with internet that can support them)

I wouldn't say 100%. The Damiani hate train are jumping on this aswell.

I'm with Rezbit on this. Huber should not have been overly hands on. Part of the experience is playing the game without help.

But as this was a 7 1/2 hour stream, they should have instead gone for easy. That was too much of a time crunch.

I think everyone underestimated the difficulty that Damiani would have. I am a RE vet and RE3 usually takes or 6 or 7 hours for a first time playthrough. Even Huber thought they would have tons of time to spare, I expected there to be at least 2-3 hours of time to spare especially since Damiani isn't new to RE.

Them not finishing on time was due to them playing at a very leisurely pace in the first half and poor inventory management. I really hope they do the "redemption" stream because it was really fun before things started going downhill. Damiani was getting fatigued and you can see the frustration as well.

For the Full Playthrough Fridays, they said they'll do one a month, but I assume it'll operate much like it was at GT (if they can't finish it in one sitting, they'll stop after a few hours and reconvene the week after).

Again it is not fair for us to say whether or not he is in a state to drive when we were not there. If he's nodding off during the stream and didn't seem like he could physically stay awake that's one thing, but being "too tired to play a video game" is not a valid determination. I have been too tired to play a video game because looking at a giant light emitting screen is hard on the eyes but perfectly fine to drive. If Damiani was truly in such a bad state that he shouldn't have been on the road then the other eight allies NEED to stop him.

Humans love to underestimate their own limitations until they put themselves and/or others in a situation that jeopardizes them (and when it's too late). But you don't give a fuck, right?
yeah this is a fucking fair thing to say.

Hey buddy, you don't know me. You don't know what I've been through and how I carry myself on a day to day basis. I'm not about to provide a detailed explanation of my life story on a forum, but to say that I'm deeply offended by your comment implying that I "don't give a fuck" about human life would be an understatement. Go fuck yourself. Seriously. You took what I said out of context, deleted the rest of my post where I explained myself, and made a baseless accusation on my character. You're acting like you're some all knowing paragon of right and wrong. But you're just some asshole on the internet.

edit: I see that a mod posted in the thread as I was writing this comment. I am not deleting this statement and I do not regret standing up for myself, but I will not add to this any further.

Chill beauty boys! He's home safe. Maybe Brandon can ease his schedule this week and the allies can have a chat and let them know their concerns.

So does anyone know if there are towns in Valkyria Chronicles 4?

Also, I was scrolling through the VoD and I found a frame of this Porky Pig game, and yeah, I just know it's gonna be a doozy.

I will take a drop in audio quality in order to have real ocean sounds. Makes the whole thing feel much more legit instead of a group of dudes hanging out in a house.

I hope next year they make an effort to stream more games they have never streamed before/series they have never played before. I dont need to see another resident evil or castlevania stream again for a long time. On the other hand some of my favs were the porkey pig game and the sonic tournament.

I agree with the second point, it seems like a good opportunity to check out a bunch of stuff they didn't cover or classic stuff some of them never played.

It's honestly a little ridiculous because it's dangerous to himself and others. I feel like if they're going to a weekend like this, it needs to be said ahead of time that everyone in the group stays there until the end. The cats will be fine, they're cats.

This is a standout post for me.

Why do you have the right to determine if someone can drive or not? You are in no positiion to make such a call. Equally to your point that all must remain until the bitter end.

And as for the cats comment. I might be wrong, but this smacks as coming from someone with life experience/responsiblity outside of videogames, living with parents and watching Twitch. Yes, the wellbeing of pets does matter. Animal wellbeing > videogame streaming.

Jesus. Are we really discussing whether or not someone has the right to drive while sleepy?

Look its not the brightest idea to drive while sleepy but maybe have faith in Damiani in being a smart human and pulling over to take a nap before driving again?

How long was the drive anyways?

Full Playthrough Fridays is a misleading title if they're only doing it once a month. I assume they'll change the title?

Well this was way better then last year for me. Loved that there were multicams, with close ups when applicable. Sound was also much better then last year. Not much to add, except that yes they could have done a better job advertising their Patreon and the new goals, but i'm guessing they'll do a promo vid in the next few days.

L&R, this weekend was awesome. Cheers guys!

Hmm not vibing the guest star show thing unless its very close and personal and heavily edited. A lot EZAs talking head stuff is pretty samey.

I think they need to lean more into their fun side if they're not gonna do editorials. Huber is indispensable, I wanna see stuff like him and Blood teaming up for interviews, one asking professional questions and then Huber asking crazy hyped Huber questions.

I don't see what's misleading about that title. They will do full playthroughs on a Friday. If they do it once a year, it can still be called Full Playthrough Fridays.
Also, it's perfectly fine for them to call it Full Playthrough Wednesdays and then do it once a month on a Friday. It would be stupid, but there is nothing preventing them from doing that.

I loved Easy Livin (just as last year). I have seen half of it or something like that (but some of it in the background).

I am honestly not too fond of the GT Live type thing as I usually am not the biggest fans of guests on almost anything I watch (that said, I did enjoy most of EZA's collabs). I want to give it a chance for sure and I am happy they are setting this as a goal because a lot of people seem to enjoy GT Live (I never watched it back in the day). I don't think I will be able to watch it each week as it will probably take too much time.

I am interested in Full Playthroughs, but will possibly not have time to watch those either (but again, great thing to bring back as a lot of people were asking for that).

I am honestly glad with the extra goals even though I will probably mainly watch the Huber one. I do think it will help push EZA further, which is the main thing.
