Just finished the film podcast. Liked it. Great guest.
Speaking of which, I'd been meaning to ask if you could archive Damiani's Zelda II full playthrough. I wanted to check it on my phone while I was actually playing the game, to learn a thing or two, however Twitch doesn't want to work on my shitty Windows Phone.

Happened so late at night, I don't think I even knew that he did more than another run through Mario 64. A lot of those bonus streams tend to go under the radar, but since you asked for it, I'm exporting it now.

Ben-kun still debating if a Persona game without Chie can truly be 5 stars.

A game without Chie? Sounds like Ben is just trying to figure out a way to make the 6 Star graphic fit in the video review without it getting squished.
Also listened to the movie podcast. Fantastic first episode. Ian did a great job hosting. Got a bit panic-y when they started talking about Get Out, had to skip a few minutes, but other then that I am very happy with what we got here.
The commentary track-idea is great. Would absolutely love that.

There's a Michael in EZA :O??
The one authentic place I tried seemed to really hold off the spices. Usually when I order something mild I expect it to be spicy enough. Not in that case.
But there aren't remotely as many Indians in California, and I assume a lot of them work in tech. At the end of the day Chicken Tikka Masala is a British dish

It's weird, I think Sony have always been interested in a more traditional approach, just with the addition of a mid-gen upgrade, whereas Microsoft had the intention of taking consoles in a more iterative smartphone-like direction. But the way things have turned out, I don't think that iterative model is a possibility. AMD's tech advances just aren't fast or compatible enough right now to make it a possibility, which is why the PS4 Pro and Scorpio are still stuck with those janky old Jaguar CPUs. Once the PS5 and BX3 are out there with their Zen CPUs, developers are going to want to transition over to it (after the typical cross-gen period), which will make it a proper next gen.
As for the name, I think Microsoft's still going to want to distance themselves from the Xbox One, so I don't think that name is sticking around.

The games it'll play are Xbox One games. It will be on all game box art for the system. It will have Xbox One in the title. Doing anything else is brand confusion. It'd be like the reverse Wii U
LiquidSolid

Sure but all they'd need to do is update their box art designs with whatever new design they come up with, kinda like when Sony ditched the Spider-Man font PS3 covers.

But only the design changed, not the name of the console.
I mean, Nintendo did the 2DS, so who knows...

Honestly, the best thing about exporting to YouTube blood, is that stupid twitch deletes archives after x amount of months.
A TON of your GT stuff is just completely gone forever. It's by the grace of God and some awesome users here on Gaf that they were able to save the archives, such as bosmans Chicago enforcer playthrough that just vanished.
Long story short, please archive absolutely everything you can blood. For posterity's sake.

While true for GT, that was due to most content not marked as highlights and thus phased out of the archives. For EZA they've been marking everything so far. So since the launch last year it's still all there.
But I would like it all on YT as it's much easier to find and playback
How'd you finish so fast?

I visited the Patreon page to listen to the podcast and I noticed that they're finally, FINALLY, FINALLY doing Patreon RSS feeds.
To me, this is like the 14th greatest thing you guys ever did. Amazing and wonderful. Thank you guys so much. This makes me a much happier Patreon, because I'm finally able to make use of the early podcast release(es). This is really good stuff.

Don't watch Black Sails but I weirdly enjoyed the Huber Syndrome discussion man.
Well not that weird, just super cool in depth discussion.

Man, the technical discussion on the podcast hurts. Yikes.
"I feel like we're out of our depth"
Ben is on point, as always.
I'm glad that Kyle turned it around pretty quickly with the waffles.

Maybe one day one of the allies will be able to talk semi confidently about tech. Not super important, but would be nice.

It would certainly be nice, but they don't have to be. It's okay if they don't. But at the same time it would be better if they don't attempt to talk about, like Ian did with the RAM comparison and all that.
I hope that next week Kyle brings up some of Spencer's answers from the Q&A he did. It might clear up some of the uncertainty they had.

Watching Damiani play through Zelda II is a treat
Such a cool game. I've barely played it, got up to Death Mountain and just kinda dropped it but I appreciate the stuff it does.

I had some reservations about the movie podcast since i'm not a movie buff and thought I was going to get overwhelmed with a whole bunch of cinephilia I wouldn't understand but I gotta say, I liked Reaction Shots way more than I expected.
Never watched Brazil so i'm looking forward to it.
Would love to watch movies/anime/shows with the allies like what Brandon and Kyle did with Pokemon Origins.
Game of Thrones is in the horiz....no...watching Black Sails with Luke Arnold Patreon goal, let's go!

Fantastic, especially from Season 2 on.

Watched the first half of the Pokémon TCG stream I missed and the bitter rivals-east meets west-hearthstone vs gwent match lived up to the hype.
Not gonna watch it all right now, but movie podcast seems off to a good start.
Thank you, will give it a try.

Bosman finished up a playthrough of the Japan-only sequel a month or so ago, if you didn't catch that. Might scratch that itch.

No, it's already available on their youtube channel.
Really liked the movie pod, great discussion. Nice set with the curtain, changes up the look from the other pods. Ian did a great job as host moderating the discussion and naturally bringing in patron comments.
I do think maybe have two different segments to bookend the main topic of the month discussion. Like maybe a 'what we've watched this month' and give opinions (like frame traps what we've been playing), and at the end maybe answer a few movie club member questions, before closing with the quote off showdown. But that's just my two cents.
I really like the commentary idea as well, I've been wanting the allies to do movie commentaries for a while.

re: the technical talk, it would be nice if the Allies had a little more hardware literacy (Ian probably comes the closest)
BUT I thought Bosman and co. did an alright job reaching the right conclusions. Scorpio is not a generational leap (simplest argument is thatit's still on 28nm), liquid cooling, diminishing returns potentially changing what console cycles mean, specs being neat to discuss but not all that telling until the games show up, and VR not being in the presentation being a suspicious omission.
Assorted comments:
* per-machine undervolting, liquid cooling, and the fan are related, and kind of fascinating with regard to Scorpio. (the lower voltage you run at to reach the same clockspeed, the less heat you need to siphon away)
* AI won't come from quantum computing (probably), but there is (already!) custom hardware that could be added to a future console and might represent a generational jump -- since it's not like you'll retrofit a every existing PS4 Pro with a google TPU, and covering the same ground with a GPU might be untenable
edit: correction, it's on TSMC's 16nm like the PS4 Pro/XBox One S. My bad.

Oh, movie podcast is great! My only recommendation is to type its title in a different way, using brackets or parenthesis to separate the different information. "The World Speaks - Reaction Shots: The Easy Allies Movie Podcast" is a longass title and I wasn't sure if the podcast was called The World Speaks, Reaction Shots or if all that was title and subtitle of the episode and the name was just The Easy Allies Movie Podcast.
Oh, I know, but I really want to play it again. It has been so long, like, over 10 years, maybe, since I last played pokemon TCG in any shape or form.
So, Luke Arnold is apparently kind of a big deal and it's pretty cool that he's a fan of Kyle and EZA. I had no idea who he was during the last group stream, and I missed the first one he was in. It would have been cool if they mentioned who he was, since I think it's cool in and of itself that he's bringing more exposure to EZA just by being there and being a fan.
I know Bloodworth said in one of the comments for EZA Plays that it was just a mistake to not mention who he was, though. Still, I can't be the only one who was confused by what seemed like a random stranger being there. In Huber Syndrome they actually introduce the guy, so now I'm looking into Black Sails and could see myself watching it soon.

Suspicious cancellation of GWG/PS+ segment this month given a certain game. Disappointing that they'd really let Kyle slide on that so easily. Won't be surprised at all if it comes back next month as if nothing happened.
LOVEEEEE the movie podcast, though wish it was on a different day. Can't wait to see how it progresses.
