I don't think that sort of atmosphere will happen when they are crowd-funded. The reason they could drop in and out like that at any time was because they were all at work.

Virtually none of the criticism was constructive. Much like not reading YouTube comments, I'd just not bother too.
Hopefully with a studio many can be more full-time or just hang out at studio doing work
You wanna know my theory about the studio that I don't think anyone here is gonna like........
Lets say they get the studio.
They aren't gonna be working 9-5 there. It'll be brad comes in for a few hours, does something then bounces. Or there'll be 3 or 4 of them there at a time by chance. Or Kyle doesn't even need to come in because he doesn't need to do anything there.
Thats the harsh reality. The days of all 9 being there all day is LOOONG gone.
I have such a love/hate thing with him because of just this. He seems to halt podcasts because he doesn't so much have a conversation with the others as much as he stays silent until someone asks him what he thinks then he kind of rambles for a long period and even loses track right then and there. The videos shows he doesn't really engage as well, like rarely makes eye contact. Love the guy, but it's like he's always a little nervous and maybe too quiet.
I think that "rambling" is what makes his reviews so good, though. I loved the Odyssey review because I knew Damiani would kill it in the writing, but maybe that's his strength: writing over the podcasting and he zeros-in on his thoughts better. Kyle should take him to an improv class, he's got the opinions but needs to focus them better when speaking.
We can just ask this on the next Cup of Jones.

Yeah, it shouldn't be looked at as shunning us. Especially with some of their past experiences at the other forum.
Nice Mario Odyssey review from Damiani. Personally speaking, I wouldn't have given it a perfect score (as I really disliked the required partial motion-control implementation for entire arsenal access, Broodal presence was too much for how uninteresting they are as personas/bosses and the sheer Moon count watered down my accomplishment in finding them).
However, his position in the review is understandable and you can tell he's been waiting for an advanced take on Mario exploration since Super Mario 64. And there's a certain strength in having full stages "combined" into one large area over leaving and returning for each. In even less words, I respect the review.

Go for it. Jones has always been super cool about answering questions. Since he started doing it live I believe he starts from the top of the list and just works his way down. I have a ton of respect for him because he doesn't shy away from anything.
no need for that, jones already said in one of the first cup of jones that to get on the same level of GT he would need like 200k at month. even with the studio lots of them are part time. it's still would be a huge help (if the studio is in a convenient place for all of them, or at least the full time allies) but it's not gonna bring miracles
I'm hoping that hosting the Friend Code podcast for a while will help Damiani with his conventional presence on camera. I haven't listened to the latest Friend Code yet, but outside guests helps too; find different characters to interact with. It aids with general rapport and ideally gives the audience a new perspective to listen to.
Kyle teasing him helps too. Quick comebacks keeps you on your toes!

This is the ERA Souls retro thread, btw:

Forgot about those. Thanks.
I'm wondering if the OT author could add 5* Reviews to the OT along with their Hall of Greats? I think that would be something worthwhile to newcomers to say, "hey, these are the games this group loves and if you like them too, you may be interested in watching their stuff." Maybe.
Also, I think Damiani should reveal himself in this thread.
Not like that.
Give us a second chance, Damiani.
Yeah, I put my reply in there if you guys wanna check it out.
I continue to be incredibly impressed by the Souls retro. The comprehensive scripts and superb editing make these videos feel genuinely definitive. Can't wait for Bloodborne.
If the game gets hard all of a sudden and you keep getting mobbed, check your equipment to see if you have 'charismatic autobiography' or whatever equipped. And if so, unequip it. :)
Wow, awesome selections :) I would only add The Witness
Glad you're all enjoying the retro so far. I'm looking forward to sharing part 4 with all of you since its my personal favorite.
Kyle regularly obtains corrections from YouTube comments so to suggest not even bothering is reductive and short-sighted. Similarly, no one ever said we were special nor that Damiani had to post here. It's a strawman fallacy. Damiani has every right not to post here. But to try and understand why that might be the case and offer feedback on the situation is a perfectly legitimate course of discussion. If anyone isn't being constructive, it's you.
did we get updates on tales from japan? i guess the project is on hiatus for the heavy review season
Ok so Kyle was wearing a shirt that says "Do what you love wework" so I googled wework and its a company that rents office space as far as I can tell. Is this supposed to be some sort of a hint at a studio? I know they are not even close to the goal. Just curious what you guys think.
He loved it, I think he talked about it somewhere? Or maybe I'm just going off his disappointment at the box office's performance for the movie. In any case wouldn't be surprise he and Ian do a Reaction Shot on it.
Probably has a friend who works there. Or he's so annoyed by his guitar neighbours thst he's considering renting a small office to sleep in, ha.

Looks like it's a series (not sure if podcast, youtube, or just a series or articles on their site) about startups. Maybe Kyle was a fan, or interviewed by them recently? Or maybe they're a fan and sent him a shirt. Unfortunately I don't think it's a hint about a studio, haha.
Ian said they plan to do a spoiler mode on it a few weeks ago.
I can relate to Damiani in that regard. I'm much more elaborative in my writing than I am when I'm speaking in a conversation. Sometimes I have so many responses coming through my head at the same time that I lose my train of thought and don't speak as much.
Oh yeah, I'm in that same boat. That's why I kind of get Damiani but also why I wouldn't try to be on a panel too. I think he has a lot of say but needs work on how to say it.
