Damiani (TSA) was THE speedrunner guy back in the day, it's crazy how influential he was. A lot of the runners that made it really popular later on were all influenced by what he did in the really early days. It's a shame it ended this way.

The only time I heard it mentioned on EZA was a random stream I think, when Huber or Brad (don't remember) said "Damiani used to speedrun" and Bosman replied "yeah but he doesn't want to talk about it".

Damiani coming out to saying "Yeah, I did some dumb shit back then. I grew up" would nuke all the tension. We're not all perfect God beasts. It's safe to poke fun about it imo :)

what.

I never realized that Damiani was THAT Damiani. Used to be a legend in the early days. His OoT WR might have been the first run I ever saw.

damiani guest in maximilian dood channel to talk about the last jedi

Thanks for sharing after listening to it I was surprised to hear them share a lot of the same feelings I had about the movie. Given that everyone around me RL or online generally seemed to have been really into it.

I've recently seen more of maximilians content like his monster hunter stuff and psx thing. I think it would be cool if they could have him guest on something.

Also someone wrote Jones a while ago about recommending EZA looking into hosting other similarly sized or any streams they would personally endorse as a small gesture to build possible connections within the streaming community. I thought that I idea was really good so just wanted to bring it up again.

Max and the EZA crew know each other and are fans for years. I believe Damiani and Simmons used to be room mates. Max did a collab on GT back in the day. Plus max has been a twitch sub of EZA since they started.

EZA got a nice shoutout from Shesez in his latest Boundary Break video about Final Fantasy VII (@1:57):



The whole video is worth a watch by the way.

I went back and listened to the second Hall of Greats episode. Six minutes in, Jones asks Bosman to clarify the rules in regards to voting in a pair of games. The specific example he asks about is Zelda: Oracle of Ages / Oracle of Seasons. Bosman responds, "Nope, one game only!".

In the most recent Hall of Greats episode, Kyle nominates Pokemon Red and Blue, a pair of games which end up getting into the Hall of Greats. Not saying they don't deserve to be there-- I think, though, some clarification would be appreciated in regards to voting in a pair of games. Is it just that Pokemon Red and Blue are less dissimilar than Oracle of Ages / Oracle of Seasons?

Eh, he clarifies that if he has to pick one he picks Blue, but I don't think it was officially decreed only Blue got in. hallofgreats.com shows both Red and Blue.

However Pokemon Red and Blue are way more similar than Oracle of Ages and Seasons so I'm ok with Pokemon being together and OoX being split.

Yeah, Blood chimed in and said that both should get in, and I agree. There isn't really that much differentiating them, and most people will only bother playing one as a result.

Ages/Season are two COMPLETELY different games though. Red and Blue are nearly identical.

I'm just watching the PSX 2017 Easy Update and damn TheDarkKnight, you're like a celebrity within the Easy Allies! Good on you bringing Don some gambling entertainment for the go.

In a world where a lot of people have sexual harrassment and abuse as skeletons in the closet, i think Damiani cheating in a game a lot of years ago isn't that terrible.

Hah no. No celebrity. I was pleasantly surprised to see that show up in the episode. It was my first time meeting the crew in person and I saw don was playing a game that looked familiar. When I saw the box I pointed out to him that I think I gave him that gift. He was so happy because he said he brought it partially because he lost/couldn't remember who gifted it to him and brought it in hopes someone would say they were the person. So when I mentioned that to him he was really happy. Turns out he likes the game and that was his first time to play with 4 people. I figured a game about horses with chips, dice AND cards would make for a great don gift.

I appreciate that Ian left my dumb face in that new EZA(i look pretty much like my avatar here, just past the 8 minute mark if you're curious), even if only for a few seconds. Also enjoyed that it ran until his camera was literally out of juice.

The return of kyle and Huber full playthroughs might be my favourite thing about EZA year 2

Kinda funny mentioning easy allies a lot in the newest gamescast with Ashley Burch. In the first ten minutes they mentioned that it was weird that EZA streamed the psx conference because of how low key it was. Andy mentioned hanging out with Jones before the psx event began.


Don't think this needs to be said but: Greg wasn't attacking easy allies for streaming psx, It was more of an offhand comment.
