If I'm not mistaken Ben already compared their second podcast to a Giant Bombcast type thing format wise, so that'd make sense. "What have you played recently, what did you think of _____" etc.
The only reason I donated money was for the reviews and retrospectives. I didn't watch the shows on GT outside of reviews, retro's and top 10's. They are as important as anything else they produce.
Yeah, during the DS3 stream he mentioned that it'd be similar to TotalBiscuit's Co-Optional podcast, except everyone in person. Discussing what they've been playing, what they're going to do, etc.

I loved the latest episode of their podcast. Listened to it yesterday and was immersed completely with their talk on PS4K and VR.
Also, Kyle Bosman's new format for his show is cool too. Week 2 was great.

Great episode, loved how they kept saying "okay we really should talk about games" then talk about games for like a minute before going on to something else.
Videos like this show just how likeable and down to earth the whole Easy Allies crew is. Like I would be down to just chill with literally all of those dudes and I don't think I can say that about many other groups of "video game personalities".

I think end-stage mandatory update might have had my favorite vibe of the GT shows. This was really good!

Thank you Ian! I was sitting bored here not knowing what to do. Saw this clip posted and decided to give it a go. Those 40 minutes flew by pretty quick.
Please keep doing more of these driving episodes (go to other SoCal restaurants and L.A. landmarks).
Hopefully that Ben's podcast is up on Itunes, et al. I normally listen to my podcasts at work but I am making an effort to watch the main podcast on patreon the night it comes out. It would be nice to have the second podcast to listen on Mondays at work.
I am starting to think putting the main podcast behind the patreon is an interesting choice (especially since the views that it is getting on youtube). It would make more sense for some of the other shows (TTE, 2nd podcast, easy update) to have the 2 day delay. As a patreon supporter, I would have no problem if they switched around what the patreons get.
So nobody gets upset, it would be a great poll to ask the patreons what they want behind the patreon paywall and just be upfront about what would be changing.

Just let it go fast and loose haha. No reason to force it.

Fantastic episode! Reminds me of the format the last "Mandatory Update" episodes had. I hope he does something similar next week.

I agree. Guess Ian heard the complaints about the lack of video game content in the last episode loud and clear.
Brad is streaming Overwatch at 1:00AM tonight, that's 20 mins from now, if anybody is interested.

Holy I had no idea that Easy Update was secretly a podcast. This second episode is great and I hope they do more of this off the cuff kind of conversations.

I'm new to this,loved gt reviews, just finished watching parts of EA episode 2, and I Didn't get the "hype",is this a bonus clip?
I'm not familiar with the crew,perhaps the characters on the show grow on you right,and they hardly talk about games anymore ?

Easy Update 2 was great. I didn't care for the 1st episode, but I loved this one.
Are you talking about the video just released with them talking in the car? If so, there is no "hype." It's just two people chilling in a car talking about things. Some people like that, some don't.

Yeah,so I guess there are no plans for a website? Just pod cast and random videos,sometimes about games?
You usually have to be a bit familiar with them to enjoy it though.
That works for everyone though, i watched a Funhaus video the other day, and couldn't get half the stuff they referenced, same was true for Giant Bomb at first.
And it just feels awkward.
That's the drawback with personality based content, it takes some time to get into it.
But i still prefer it to the faceless approach you had some years ago.
Their Youtube (and Patreon) page is their website, arguably.

To be fair they are only 2 weeks in. They will have more and more traditional content as it moves forward from infancy.

This is just Ian's show. He kinda does his own thing. Check out the main podcast to see what they are all about.

Hopefully they have more personality driven shows that aren't necessarily focused on gaming.

Makes sense,I hope it becomes like cinemassacre,was screw attack part of game trailers at some point, and screw attack hosted avgn right?
Just video game reviews, video game podcasts, shows about video games, video game retrospectives, and regular video game streams...
I think nerd culture as a whole is fair game, but I really hope that video games are always central. I think Ian stuck a nice balance with this episode. We heard fun anecdotes from both of them, but video games kept being addressed throughout. It was loose, but it kept coming back to them over an over again. Which I am good with.
Oh hey they passed by my apartment
I too have been to that subway but I forgot that fatburger existed.

I liked the latest episode of Easy Update. Although the first episode was very free-form-y, this second episode seems to have a natural flow to it which the first episode lacked.
Keep up the good work Ian!

Of what, the podcast I assume? No, it's purely news focused. Sounds like the second podcast might have more of that stuff though.
EDIT: Which might be up later today! If not, blame Bosman.
Tried with paypal as well didn't let me. I'll try with my credit card instead of debit.

Cup of Jones is an odd show to put behind a paywall (at least that 1st episode).
It's the only place where all the thoughts and plans of the group have been layed out as a solid plan. That should be out there for everyone so they can see what's coming and decide to subscribe for the planned content.
Feels like paying to watch the trailers at a cinema and the main movie being free.

It'll also have Brandons opinions on something in gaming. It's just that first episode had a lot to rattle through.

It's like his weekly address to "investors" about what they're working on. He named multiple new shows and the people paying for it hear the news first.

My favorite was at the end.
"Have you ever seen like a news anchor eat"
"Yes once and it was terrifying"
The delivery was so smooth it was hilarious
If this graph is correct in listing all Patreon projects, and it seems to be lagging a bit behind in updating due to your updated information, it is the third highest Patreon if we proxy using monthly earnings. Note, a lot of these projects have been out for much longer and may have experienced subsequent spikes and drops. Therefore, it is not an apples to apples comparison.
Holy crap, that was an awesome episode. The random and non scripted talk feels very genuine, which happens to all of them when they are together, just watch their second group stream from last week.
Keep the good work Ian
EZA is your job, Kyle...don't leave us =(.
About what is behind the paywall or not, i'm totally fine with Cup of Jones being behind it, it will be both a show to tell Patrons what's going on and an editorial piece. I'm much less inclined to agree about the EZA podcast being behind it, once it goes to everybody on friday it already lost momentum and timing, imo. The number of views seems to be down a fair amount this week.
