Sounds like Heist is next then! Huber and heist sounds great.
Did the guest that was on White Hole ever make a return? He was really good.

He did once in the episode called "Home Invasion" or something like that. Great episode as well!
I've definitely started skipping the DBZ talks, no interest in that game and they talk about it a lot it seems haha.
Incredible stuff
I'm sympathetic to this. There have been times when listening to other gaming podcasts that I get sick of people bringing up the same games. I'm also trying to understand this specific criticism, though. The last time we brought up MH: World on Frame Trap was a month ago and Dragon Ball FighterZ was even longer that. With both of them coming out before the next Frame Trap records, it seems pretty reasonable to have lengthy discussions about them.
It's also what I've been working on for review and since they're both massive games, it's hard devoting too much time to anything else.
Ah okay that makes sense. I stopped following late June/early July
Oh man, FT got me feeling the hype for Monster Hunter. I didn't plan on buying it but I feel like I'm going to end up impulse buying it soon because of the hype EZA is building up, and then barely put anytime into it.
Frame Trap is my favourite podcast by far these days. The podcast as a whole was great, but I loved the Hottake and emails sections the most. Something about it feels super cozy and relaxing.
I am getting it next week or the first week of Feb so if you ever wanna play online, PM me and I would be willing to play! I have a group already and we could easily include if you wanna play multiplayer, as long as it is PS4 since MHW doesn't have crossplay
Does anyone miss the old 4 person frametraps? I feel like they should rotate the formats do 3 people some times and 4 people other times
Yeah, it was mentioned above (or last page) too, but I do prefer that. The rotation is too long for some people about what they've been playing. Not so bad now as things are quiet, but in busy periods I wish they'd do 4.
Not really. I like it being 3 people more because it puts more weight on each individual, requiring them to speak more.
I guess it'd be interesting to see them try out the 4 people cast with the game-by-game format but I'm fine with the current system.
Not surprised they ignored the Japanese gaming renaissance on the ds/psp when discussing the state of Japanese games during 2007-09 on frame trap.
And Ben downplaying dsiware lol, still love ya Ben.
;)
Oh and there has been Dragon quest monster joker games with toriyama designs without his work, so they are already using his designs without his involvement.

Not shut down, just made "unofficial" (unless I missed a shutdown somewhere).
Ah well what made the change?
Was it just too hard to mod? Just curious is all. Not a huge deal if they never gave an answer
I think that at a certain point, the Allies realized they didn't have the time to properly monitor and manage all the various communities that popped up on various social media platforms. So they picked a few that they had time for (their Twitter, Facebook, forums, etc.) and asked for all the rest to be unofficial.
Makes sense.
I have so much stuff to catch up on lol
A lot has happened in the 6ish months I was away from EZA
Obviously Reindeer is a show within Box Peek.
Reindeer being a show in everything is how we know that the EZACU is a thing.
So Huber now has a date for when he needs to have his franchise replay done. Should be doable
I said the exact same thing when they started doing it, and I stand by it.
Honestly, sometimes I open frametrap, look at the time stamps, see no games that interest me, close frametrap. Thats happened once or twice. I would say about 25% of the time, I'll find literally 1 game interesting out of everything. It does kind of suck sometimes.
I both do and don't miss it. I miss it because I feel like they talk about less games now, especially smaller games. But I don't miss it because it did feel like during some of those segments, not everyone could feel involved in the conversation and on video that looked weird. I'm fine with the format as it is now, but I tend to skip around and only watch the segments about games I care about. Can't even remember of the last episode where I listened to/watched the whole thing.
I tweeted more to them. With Santa being the main villain, I pointed out that Santa can be an anagram for something far more HELLISH.
I mean, Santa's all about that red!
I also said it would be cool if the good guys at one point had to find the "first Santa" St. Nicholas, which would lead to an epic showdown of good verses evil.
I did not bring this up, but Krampus should also factor in to the series.
I just had an weird idea.
Remember Brandon's fitness stream?
... what if the committee selected a EZA group fitness stream? Would they do it?

Remember when Huber had that fitness phase at GT for like 2 weeks and he was grumpy all the time?
I too prefered the old Frame Trap, mostly because I loved the way the Allies would bring up random guys in their "what you've been playing" segment. I wouldn't even look at the timecodes, just to keep some kind of surprise in a weird way.
Now it's much more formal, it's Ben bringing up the games (which I know doesn't really matter, but it does change the vibe) and the discussionsare longer, which tends to make me check out when the game doesn't 100% interest me. Also since the discussions are longer, Ben has to talk so much to keep it focused, he tries to rephrase what the others are saying, find some threads to follow, which kind of hinders the flow. It's not at all a criticism to Ben, but it's the nature of the beast I guess.
Basically I liked FrameTrap when it was a speed dating kind of thing, to keep up with the Allies, each bringing up a list of games, big or small, in quicker successions. And then go for the in depth discussion with the Hottake.

Oh man lol! Yes! St. Nicholas and Krampus definitely need to get worked into the lore somehow haha! God there is so much potential for Reindeer Academy, it's incredible.I tweeted more to them.

That's never what frametrap was though. It was often times one of the allies practically monologing for half an hour or more about the games they had played while the other day there disinterested or vaguely engages depending upon there interest in the games being discussed. Frametrap turned into a very bloated show that was hard to manage because you don't want to tell someone to stop talking but at the same time if everybody's checked out, maybe that person should stop talking. Hence the switch to talking about games so that each ally has a chance to chime in even if they are uninterested in the game they don't have to wait long before a game comes up that they are interested im/knowledgeable enough to talk about.
I guess that's what it was for me and I loved it. "Catching up with 4 allies" was more enticing to me than "let's talk about this big game for 40 minutes but it's mostly Ben because he has to do so much to keep this engaging" I suppose. And let's face it, you still get lenghty monologues, like when they talked about Divinity.
Idk but now I want you to suggest it when the comitee post comes out
I agree. I don't think there's anything wrong with one of them doing the majority of the discussion on certain games, because it allows me to hear more variety in the games played and better understand what each of their tastes are.
I understand the appeal of each format, even though I preferred the earlier one. It used to be a loose "What are you playing" discussion, and now it's a roundhouse discussion of set games.
I think we just have to agree to disagree here. We definitely still get lengthy monologues, just less of them I suppose.
Maybe I'm not understanding the format change but as far as I'm aware now everybody just tells Ben the games they want to talk about before they start streaming and Ben writes them down. No games are getting left off the list and frequently people have a "wait I forgot to mention..." game that they tack on at some point anyways.
I'd say the way the games are brought up and talked about changed a lot though. Also, they're only 3 now, so less diversity.
You basically summed it up better than I could in my post. Not that I don't like the new one but I miss the days of co-host Huber and his random games.
Yup. These no-gimmicks stream are nice to have from time to time. Just the allies playing something for two hours and that's all.
Yup. The addition of the bit streams has been great but it's good to get a jolly chilled out stream
I'm hoping we get a non tournament DB Fighter z stream next week. IMO They need a night just learning the game some before a tournament
