Yes, because they are content creators.
Gaming is too big in scope nowadays, they're are like million subcultures often with very little intersection. You can't necessarily market yourself as another gaming channel that also does other stuff.

It's not gaming related so I expect the numbers to die down considerably post initial launch hype.

I can't say I am surprised that the nut jobs of the internet are willing to shovel coal into that shit-show of a furnace and I am not surprised it isn't gaming related. From my experiences of him you could fit his gaming knowledge onto a stamp and still have 90% of the space left for putting snot on.
Happy Anniversary, Easy Allies! Here's the new OT design. There's a few things missing right now, even some notable absences but I wanted to create a new foundation for an OT that can be added to fast & loose in the future. There's also some information that could be communicated in a more "fun" way but it's a work in progress! The BB Code is a lot simpler and relies more on images now so it should load nice and fast.
There's links to all of EZA's sites etc. so it should be pretty intuitive for new fans as well! L&R.
Please take a look if you get the chance and let me know any critiques or additions that you think should be made.

- the background color choice is a little dull... to dark? seems off. I am not graphic designer.

I love Don Casanova standing alone on that OT.

GameTrailers has a capital T. Other than that, I think it's amazing!
EDIT:
I'd add that Don is also an editor.
Well, I wanted it to follow EZA's house aesthetic but make it a little different. I still could only really work with Black, Red & White. That's probably why in the end, the colour feels a little dull. I'll see in the future I can make it a little more enjoyable.
Hahaha, I didn't notice that until you said it. I was going to add some gold trim in places originally too.
Oh yeah, thanks!
The lack of a period at the end of Huber Syndrome is upsetting me far more than it actually should
Another vote for Sophie as well. Also, is it worth mentioning Fiasconauts?

- Fiasconauts
- Twitch Shows
... are all missing atm. I'm trying to think of a way to display it cohesively without it being an information dump.

Fiasconauts is absolutely worth mentioning as it's a regular program (and the best)
Don's is worth mentioning but you should note that it's elusive and exclusively shadow dropped.
Misspelled "discussion" in the Frame Trap section
For Fiasconauts maybe something like this?
Fiasconauts:
On the last friday of every month, the Allies gather to play a game of Fiasco. There's about 45 minutes of setup, and 2 full hours of completely improvised storytelling in 2 acts. The "game" comes in whether the player succeeds or fails in their scene (as decided by other players). Beautiful, hilarious chaos in this one-of-a-kind cinematic experience.
If you wanted to keep it brief you could delete the second to last sentence too

Yeah, Sophie definitely needs adding. She is another part of why I love EZA so much.

Happy anniversary everyone, hope everyone going has the greatest of times and to a successful year 2!
That sucks not sure what to do to be honest for youtube comments I kind of resigned that they're probably mostly going to be pretty bad. I downvoted the comment you seem to refer to because I don't think stuff like that has any place anywhere but I doubt that, that will do anything.

Haven't seen it all yet, you mean in the comments or the actual ep?

This looks great. Not sure I have a good solution, but I don't know that the Bud Light and Fat Burger jokes come across as jokes to a newcomer.

JOKES?!?!?!
Me too! I was crying while driving to work this morning!
Happy Anniversary Easy Allies! Your good vibes are just what I need every day! Thank you!
Thanks, Blood! Yeah, you're probably right. I tried to strike a balance between something long-time fans might enjoy reading and something that would introduce each person well to new fans. Those two references might be two of the more stranger ones (and legally consequential) to include.
I'll give it some work, glad you like it!
I remember the moment I found out GT was shutting down. I had just had a long terrible day at University, got back to my student house, and was sitting playing Bayonetta on my WiiU. After a while, I went up to bed, and then I saw the thread on NeoGAF. I had to reread it three or four times because it just didn't process. They were so good, they were going so well, everything seemed great. Why had this happened? I was still reeling from Elyse leaving, so this was salting the wound to an insane degree.
I stayed up until 3am watching that whole final stream, and I felt like crap for a few days. I can only imagine that's the way people feel when their favourite bands split up unexpectedly. I had lost a fundamental part of my schedule, a community I'd grown to cherish was slowly fading away.
Then Easy Allies came along not a moment too soon! I felt a rekindled enthusiasm for the industry I worked in and enjoyed. I've been so happy to support them for a whole year, to many more!
