I remember telling people here that i thought kyle would leave soon after box peek was done and everyone was shitting on me... i saw this coming from a mile away.
I'm sure the small validation will get you through.

I remember Kyle not wanting to do a Final Bosman type show for EZA...but one of the first things he did after EZA came together was an independent "Bosman at Home" show on his own YouTube channel...which was basically The Final Bosman on a budget lol.Yeah... I hope Jones carries on eventually. Idk with what other member, because I feel like it needs 2 for sure.
I always thought it was Bosman. You could always read or see him being a little different than the rest of the group and not wanting to do Final Bosman. I think at first I agreed but now I feel like Ian is just as essential as Bosman but in a behind the scenes making things tick kinda way.
Sometimes I feel like I'm missing something. How do you figure that?I'm simultaneously not surprised Bosman decided to leave, given how he seemed to be in the most precarious financial situation of the Allies
Even he is in a similar situation (well, besides escaping from Kotaku)

3-4 years is a good amount of time to spend in one place. Hope he does find his Main Thing.
Also RIP fantasy league.
I love Tim but he'd be a bad fit. He doesn't let anyone else speak.

Love Tim Rogers but he would not fit in well with the other Allies.
I've been watching the reruns they've been showing on Twitch and chatting with chat and it's been nice. So much love there right now. It's made it easier for me at least.I love EZA, but I won't lie, this kinda sapped my desire to watch some EZA stuff right now.
I got the podcast still to watch, but I kinda dont want to right now.
Anyone else feel the same?

I think the biggest loss is how much Kyle challenged the group.
Both during the podcast, and during streams. Kyle would confront an ally, and force them to explain themselves.
It is night and day, how other podcasts/streams just route tell headlines... whatever... that happened...anyways....
I hope Jones can take up the mantle and provide a unique angle to the news.
Indeed, I think out of all the Allies, I think Ben could take on the role.That's one reason I like Ben and feel like he could do a good job. He tends to ask these sorts of questions on frame trap while still keeping things light. It's one of the reasons why frame trap is so great.
I watched the podcast after I read and saw the news and still enjoyed it a lot, but I can understand how you feel.I love EZA, but I won't lie, this kinda sapped my desire to watch some EZA stuff right now.

So far on stream:
- States Box Peek kept him around probably longer than he would have originally. He wanted to finish Box Peek before he left, and when he finished it that's when he seriously looked at where his life is going and what his "true thing" is.
- LOVES streaming. Will continue to stream in the future in whatever endeavor he pursues (ex. chiseling marble)
- Cali has never felt like home, wherever he goes next (NY being appealing) will be Main Thing first location second (ex. where to go to chisel marble).
- Still doing RE3 with Huber
- Told the guys in the beginning of January. Also told Keighley ahead of time.
- Hands-off on Together We RPG, still all in on
- Has to leave May 1st because currently he's on a waitlist for a Master's degree at a university (he's not even supposed to really say he's on a waitlist so he's definitely not telling us what school lol)
- No more Reactions lol one of his least favorite things to do
- Will try to incorporate comedy in whatever he does in the future.
- He might just start swearing.
- He will dab on stream before leaving.
- Easy Allies is split 9 ways so he won't own any intellectual property once he leaves. Also wants it to be a clean cut so he won't have any recurrent segments. But happy to make cameos. Guys were sad he's leaving but supportive and understanding.
- No replacement as 9th person any time soon, but obviously could be possibility.
- Leaving Rufus with podcast
- Parents knew he was leaving when he made the parents podcast
- Did you feel you're not growing through Easy Allies: Kinda, grew threw Box Peek but it's hard to say. It just feels emotional.
- Doubts he will ever leave public eye.
- Will finish Never Too Late to Dreamcast
- Podcast: Sick Owls will disband, can't be exact same show with Jones taking over so it will definitely be more "Jone-sy" so he'll let Jones explain it on his own time. The two weeks he was gone where Jones replaced him was unfortunate timing, and will not be what the podcast will look like in the future.
- Wants to "create" more than react. But unsure lol
- Unsure how much he wants to "haunt" Easy Allies for example with a picture hanging on a wall lol but will keep his emotes
- Most likely will work with Keighley again but it'll be difficult due to not living in LA.
- Will finally release Robot Party!!!
- Coronavirus has definitely complicated his plans, like for example in a month if he's not able to leave LA. But nothing compared to the effect it's had on other people's lives, it's nothing so he can't complain.
- Will be on April Community Showcase.
- Emotional when he told the guys but held it together. Definitely hard to click send on patreon post, but it's a relief from the weight of keeping this secret. Devastated when he saw Huber's tweet though.
Relaying a post from the gaming thread on Kyle's departure about what Kyle's been saying in his stream tonight, since Kyle addressed a lot of concerns:
I'll be okay if Ben was the EZA podcast host, if he added other news beside gaming like anime then i'm 100% on board with thatIf they were to add someone new, even in a limited capacity, it should be Jess if she'd be up for it. She's great.
EDIT: I also agree that changing up hosts for Frame Trap and the EZA podcast would probably be the best way to handle things. Then Brandon wouldn't have to change who he is and what he's good at to fit as a host for the EZA podcast and Ben could come in and kill it. I feel it's absolutely essential for the Allies that the "reboot" of the podcast is a success.
I also think back to thinking about how Kyle seemed somewhat disconnected when talking about the future of EZA. I think I even posted about it on here. Turns out that video was probably only a week or so after he announced his departure.I was just thinking about how much last week's Easy Update cracked me up, and how the other allies' humour, while different, also brought me a lot of joy. And then I remembered we probably wouldn't get a Kyle and Ian new years Easy Update again. 😢
Great video. Just finished it. Kyle seems like he's not in a great place mentally. Like his heart just isn't in the business anymore. Hope he starts feeling better and that he stays with EZA (not that he made any kind of implication that he would leave; just my own thoughts based on this video).
A lot of it was how you describe for sure. But some things, like him saying how he's not excited at all about a PS5 reveal, and the only thing he says about EZA for 2020 is he wants it to be more weird, and how he doesn't really have anything to say about games for 2020 and wonders if it really matters. It seems like he just doesn't really care anymore, to a greater-than-normal extent.
Maybe because I have been watching these guys since GT, but hearing this announcement affected me more than I thought it would. I know Kyle will go on and do great and whatever he will eventually do.
3-4 years is a good amount of time to spend in one place. Hope he does find his Main Thing.
Also RIP fantasy league.
