Box Peak was really good

I missed like half the show, any announcement?

Also, I am getting weary of the Allies content lately. All I listen is the Podcast and Frame Trap, and the ocassional Huber Syndrome. Friend Code is really dull sometimes and I just don't like their single player streaming.

I have been a Patreon for a year and hardly see any direction of the content an what's the destination. What's the end goal? do they plan growth at all? any plans to improve the production values?

Apologies if my rant is disjointed but I am a bit sleepy. I want the allies yearly events to have the size of Kinda Funny events, they deserve it. I know, 9 guys against 5, yada yada.
I'm with you to an extent. It was a great show but I hope they use this anniversary to talk about the future. They really need concrete plans laid out to the patrons and viewers if they're serious about the studio. It can't keep going like this forever, with that vague carrot dangling in front. It feels like it's the year to go for it seriously, or it'll never happen.

Just going through the concert last night and Ian's songs are always so much better live than the produced ones on Easy Update. Man those songs are so fucking good with a full band.

As for the studio talk up above, I've made peace with the fact they'll probably never get it and enjoying what's there.

Not that i doubted Kyle, but i wasn't really interested in Box Peek's initial pitch, but of course first preview episode and i'm already hooked, Kyle is creative super saiyajin tier.

Omg Box Peek sure is something special.
As soon as Jordy threw that anchor out the window of that ship I knew it was going to be great.

So much Pokemon inspiration.
It's almost like Kyle likes that franchise or something

Same here. Jones in particular really seems to want it and seems very receptive to new ideas and changes that need to be made but at the same time is very complacent about the position they are in. I want to see the studio happen but it's not going to unless they make some big efforts in outreach via social media and new games coverage. The tweet about that guy being on last week's podcast didn't include an @game informer or @whateverthatguysnamewas in it, as an example of improving social media use.

They spend a lot of time streaming older games but very little streaming new releases. This needs to change if they want to attract new people via twitch in an effective but low effort way.

Loved the concert and to my surprise my personal highlight was Ian and Band. Usually tune out or skip EU-music, not my style, but in a live-setting I didn't want it to end, haha.
Box Peek premiere was amazing, super jolly and that theme song is stuck again in my head.
Really awesome that the production values of the concert held up!
Brandon' did a classy job with his performance!

Huber was the natural stage and hype-up presence of the concert, you really noticed how his segment "popped".

Huber streaming Fortnite and doing it with a collaboration stream as well. More group streams and a new game streamswith Monster Huntee World and Vermintide 2. Blood with the new game one off streams and Ben did one recently with Into the Breach

I cried so much last night. EZA is such a huge part of my life, they get me through so much darkness.
It's incredible how talented every single one of them are.

Amanda's voice work in Box Peek is absolutely fantastic. Just her "Episode 1: Jordy Gets a Box!" had me break out into a huge grin.

It's like she's a professional or something.

Hah, did you say "damiani" instead of "Kinda Funny Games Daily"? Got allies on the brain.

Your not wrong in saying that they are doing the things I mentioned more. The point of my post wasn't to say that they are not doing those things at all, but to say that those are things they need to do more.

Reading back my post I can see how it comes of as more negative than I intended. It's easy to do that on the internet. All I was saying is that Jones seems very happy with where EZA sits right now and while he does want to see changes he's not in as big of a hurry as some people want him to be. He speaks about this on last week's cup of Jones in a round about way.

The Allies are firing on all cylinders right now. What an amazing show last night. Kyle should be very proud of his creation. I hope they can find a way to leverage this into some additional Patreon support. Tomorrow should be a good time.

I feel totally different than the people who want more content. Between a 3 hour frame trap every other week, a podcast every week, group streams and other streams (usually archived) including Weekly Hunts and whatever Bosman is getting up to, I usually find I can't even keep up with what we already have.

Wait, is the Nintendo Direct friend code still going up today or is it tomorrow since Frame Trap went up early?

Oh, mainly asking about youtube, but ok. Thanks

Looks like it's set to go live on YouTube in about an hour and 15 minutes, at 2 PM CDT. You can always check their website for the schedule in your time zone: https://easyallies.com/

Seems like it isn't up there but it should be soon. I don't ilsten to Friend Code so I don't know how long the gaps are between YT and Patreon but I assume it's not long.
It's usually up on Patreon on Sunday, up on YouTube for everyone on Tuesday. This one was a little different, it went up Saturday on Patreon so it's going up today/Monday on YouTube.

I'm with you. I'm very frustrated with lack of direction and focus. I honestly don't think it would be hard to fix. Kyle once said that they need a person who says no sometimes and i totally agree.

Some of the shows definitely needs some direction like Huber Syndrome, it feels like a cross between a lesser Easy update and some weird previewish/podcastish format
Easy Update is good though, although I don't always watch it

The show was fantastic,superb! The stream was so good, with great sound quality!

And the 2 t-shirts on fangamer are so beautiful, with very good "bonus' too. I Bought both.

Thank you so much Easy Allies, i need you in my life. I really hope until 2019 The Allies have more money to use a studio too. They deserve.

I liked box peak a lot.

I really like the design of the buildings when it panned up to show the city.
