Doesnt seem that Jones has gotten his RDR2 code? Does any other outlets have it?

Just sad in terms of like at this point no way will he be able to hit embargo for the most part and that is easily a huge review for them

I'm not sure where Brandon says it either, other than Huber Syndrome which was recorded a couple of weeks ago.

Giant Bomb sounded like they had their code. The Beastcast talking about what they were playing had Dan from GB and Jeff from CNET say they couldn't talk about something they were playing, but would be able to talk on next weeks podcast on Friday.

He says it in this week Huber Syndrome, which was probably recorded on Tuesday.

Hubers clearly capable of passing an eye test to get his liscense so it's not like hes practically blind like some people seem to think. Leave the dude alone, the meme is funny but then people always get too serious about it.
I passed my vision test 8 years ago without glasses. My vision has gotten far worse since then, requiring glasses or contacts for daily life, and I've had my license renewed without needing to take another test.

Nah, it was recorded the week before. Technical issues delayed it.

If I understood Jones correctly, what they recorded last week wasn't usable because he turned off his mic. So they re-recorded it this week (guessing Tuesday as Huber is wearing the same shirt that he is wearing on the Group Stream).

Ah, well by the sounds of it, Giant Bomb didn't get their code until after that Tuesday anyway

Yeah i dont get it neither. Let him judge that shit himself, its none of our business. I dont see why eyesight is such a big deal here. I dont hear anyone telling Kyle to go to therapy to deal with his depression for example. It's a private matter. Its nice of people to care, but to get upset over his choice, i dont get it.

Guys we are talking about 30 year old adults, if they can't or don't want to take care of it themselves then there is not much you guys can do, let them be.

Huber's the guy who had a gambling lounge in his house, drove expensive cars in illegal races and admitted to playing Pokémon Go while driving. I love the guy but he's not the best at taking sound, healthy decisions. Sure, he can do whatever he wants in his life, but the fact that people care about him and want him to do "the right thing" is the least offensive and least annoying thing ever. It's called having "empathy for" or "being friends with" somebody.

I wish there were more people telling me when I fuck up something and I don't realize it.

EDIT: Also, he's promised it to everybody on stream. He could have not, but he did. Also, even Jones jokingly brought it up recently, it's not just fans trying to pressure him.

It's funny people harp on Huber when I'm pretty sure Ben has it worse; I recall someone mentioning how his phone has the old people magnification on.

There was also the end of that one stream where someone asked Don if he could see and he said "not at all."

Do the allies collectively have something against wanting to see

I love Brad's initial reaction when Kyle starts to read the entry for Recruit Me at the beginning of the podcast.


He's having none of it.

Hey, look. Another EZA "controversy"

Someone just needs to tell Huber that his awful eyesight is going to make him miss a lot of the detail in RE2make's gore and he'll probably schedule an appointment within minutes.

I mean I know that huber syndrome was from tuesday, but just saying feel like I would have seen something from someone about having a review code and just havent seen that.

Just hope they can hit that embargo, that will be huge for them.

My eyes suck too but they're good enough to get me around so whatever

Huh? No, my phone doesn't have any sort of magnification. It's not that bad. I appreciate the concern, but I think we may be collectively overdoing it a little bit at this point.

Ben why you gotta ruin the fun?? If we can't criticize the Allies' life-choices, then I don't see a point in ResetERA even existing anymore. Might as well shut it all down. Pack it in. This bird is baked.

But seriously, when's Blood gonna cut his hair?? I mean, it's been AAAAAGES.

Short haired Blood would be a sight to behold.

Petition to add it as a new tier.

In the post for Cup of Jones, Brandon states that there will be no Cup of Jones (or supplement) this upcoming Thursday, because of an unusually busy week. Am I reading too far between the lines in thinking it is because he received his RDR2 code?

Disclaimer: I have yet to watch CoJ to see if he elaborates on what the busy stuff is.

The Death Stranding early code won't play itself you know.

I'm guessing that since we haven't heard that they HAVEN'T received a code, that they have indeed received it and are officially under embargo and can't talk about having or receiving a code.

Hmm, they said that Jones was "on assignment" in last week's group stream, which I assumed meant that he finally got a review code. This was last Tuesday, which would track with Hasney saying that was probably when Giant Bomb got their code also.

Jones ended up on the podcast that day (shot after the group streams), so if he really was on assignment, it didn't involve extensive travel at least.

Even if he didn't have a code by the most recent CoJ, he'd be assuming he'd have it by then and would either be writing, voicing or editing a review.

Well the unofficial Easy Allies Fan Group page on Facebook now has people posting GamerGate memes that attack western game journalists for being "afraid" of breasts and the mods don't seem to care.

So I'll be leaving that crap.

It was always a weird place.

The subreddit can be depressing but at least it was about EZA. The FB page... it was all over the place, just weird as heck.

What do you all think about EZA hiring a woman? I understand that given that this whole thing was started by people at GT and then it morphed into this patreon thing that hiring anyone brand new, man or woman, would be kinda weird with such a tight knit group but looking forward, especially after a studio has been secured, hiring a woman seems to make sense to me?

I'm not gonna sit here and demand it happen or else, but I personally think it's important for women to be represented in this industry, and that the Allies can only benefit from diversifying.

Thoughts?

They are financially incapable of hiring on another person at the moment, but Jones has said on CoJ that if/when they can, they'll seek to hire diversely.

Jones said mulitple times on CoJ that he would love that too. Its a far off dream though as they don't have the budget at all to add an extra person. I guess hiring anyone extra would only happen once they'd reach 65-70k / month.

Edit: dammit Noah :p

As long as the new person fits well with the group I am up for who ever they can come up with. For me personally it wouldn't really matter who that person is, so of obviously a woman would be fine with me as well (I don't see why it wouldn't be). It's unfortunate (but understandable) that Elyse left back at GT, but she for sure added something great to the group. That said, I don't think they are in a position to hire anyone at this point as Noah and Stinkinmushroom pointed out. I personally don't think that hiring a person at the moment is a good idea.

Actually, I thought that, but checking this list: https://forums.easyallies.com/topic/4919/patreon-exclusives-episode-guide

We've gotten Spiderman, Life is Strange 2, and Dragon Quest 11 in the past two months. So as many games as non-games, after accounting for Daredevil. Really happy with their output on this recently (5 of them alone in October). Also, kudos to Blood for keeping that list up to date! It's listed on post #2 of the thread (along with the Cup of Jones episode guide) in case anyone wants to find it again.

Oh cool, that does ring a bell actually now that I think about it. I don't often watch CoJ and just pickup the odd tidbit here and there, thanks!

That's my bad, you're right.
