Brian and max from ign have started a new series called weird heat and I think a lot of easy allies fans would enjoy it. The first episode is about optimism. I was pretty skeptical of these two people creating something serious but I was 100% sold by the end of the first episode. They come off as very genuine and sincere and I'm very excited to see where this project leads.

They can be listened to as podcasts for convenience, but they're role playing table top shows first and not what people usually think about when talking podcasts in general.

They are both tabletop role-playing games that are recorded and presented for entertainment purposes. My gut wants to say they are not podcasts BUT your argument makes sense especially as there are lots of different d&d shows that are presented in an audio format that can only be described as a "podcast" even if it's not what the word means in the traditional sense. You can also point to shows like nightvale that really stretch what the word podcast means.

I didn't know they were available on podcast services as I don't listen to them that way.

I certainly understand where you are coming from, but to me that content isn't podcast content the way I think about podcasts.
To me podcasts is people talking about specific topics (usually for quite a while) and this is more a tabletop gameshow.

That said, if you feel they are podcasts, you are of course more than welcome to give those as you answer. They are certainly fantastic shows.

I see your points. I can understand thinking of them more as role-playing shows. I'm not well-versed in RP shows outside of those and in my mind I've considered them fiction podcasts in the same vein as Halo 5 Hunt the Truth and that Serial thing,

Total nitpick but Serial is not fiction. *runs away*

Never been a fan of Tim calling himself the master of hype or whatever it is because his stuff never felt genuine to me like Huber's and honestly that's quite a pretentious title to give yourself (if you're serious, cause if not then it's just cringe-worthy) so I'm not a fan of calling this the "hypening" but I'll check this out. Back when I was still watching KF stuff, Tim already thought of bringing Huber on the show so I'm happy for him to finally have Huber.

Suuuuper looking forward to it. Always wanted an EZAxKF collab that doesn't just involve Brandon. Super cool he's doing both show, and one of which with Greg.

You take this stuff way too seriously. I don't know how you can look at someone who's using terms like "Gatorade hype moment" and think "this guys pretentious."

Let's just let the jolly vibes flow!

I mean sure, the fact that I don't see Tim as a pretentious person is why I don't like it (and like I said, that's if he seriously considers himself that, which I doubt is the case).

Didn't know Ben was streaming DW9. I'll check this out as impressions seem...eh.

Edit: Well shit, Ben and Jim Sterling just saved me $60. Hopefully they figure out what they want to do with this new engine/formula by the time they get to PW4/FEW2/AoT3/whatever other warriors game I'm actually interested in.

I think it should look better now, got into some stupid problems downloading the original image...
It looks great!

I actually would love to see a Jim Sterling x Easy Allies thing. he's a big sourpuss, but he loves games. It'd work. I remember that video Marcus Beer and Bosman did after some E3 at gt. It was great

Damiani -- massive props for the latest Friend Code. The new segment was fun. It was hilarious hearing you guys talk Mario movie...some of the scenarios reminded me of the pure gold that is Reindeer Academy. Thanks for acknowleding the challenges with last episode. Keep up the great work!

re: Dear Nintendo.
don't make it a discussion segment. just read one or two of them and let it just be a this is what the mindset was at this point in time. like a little time capsule. they're really fun to hear.

They were also running low on Nintendo Powers if I remember correctly. I suspect this is an other reason why Damiani removed the segment.
I liked Dear Nintendo, it always made me laugh, but I really didn't miss it too much last episode. It was a good episode even without Dear Nintendo imo.

Greatly enjoyed the latest Friend Code (Ian and Kyle shooting sequel/adaptation ideas is always fun), but wow it was over so fast ):

About the podcast question from the last page, it's a toss up between Frame Trap and Reaction Shots to me.

No problem, I think I remember someone bringing it up a few weeks ago in here, and I just started getting into making avatars for people on here recently, so I figured I'd help out.
Oh, that was me -_-
Sorry Wiibomb, two days later I started helping with my parents' move and completely forgot to do that.
