Guess not? Too bad as I was quite looking to see and hear more about Ben's thoughts on Japan first-hand.
I can't help but feel a huge sense of disappointment for Brandon Sun Kyle Moon. Coming off the weekly series of Brandon discovering a storied game series for the first time, expectations were obviously high. Now it looks like they're going to do two episodes, poorly structured, weeks apart, and no excitement like it had before.
I thought that the idea to wait for Sun and Moon would be crazy and exciting, but the attempt at an interesting follow up was a failure. I guess people were right, they should have done Gold and Silver. :/

^^^^ eh, I think it's just bad timing with the holidays.

Jones can't upload any videos right now, he tweeted out an apology already.
Ah, so it's already ready to go? Sounds good. I was just curious; thanks for the info.
What would have changed with gold and silver? It was coming up to crunch time as it is, timing wise if would have been similar.
Well if it would have directly followed, you would have had the continuation while maintaining the weekly format. BPP ended in July, so they would have had a while to play Gold and Silver before Sun and Moon.

You think Brandon was sitting around doing nothing after Brandon Plays Pokemon finished? Come on, he's the main EZA video editor and is super busy, especially at this time of the year. Back when Brandon Plays Pokemon was going on, he mentioned a couple of times how he barely got any sleep because he had so much work to do.
Brandon Sun Kyle Moon, despite the weird name, is fine. Calling it a failure is a ridiculous over-reaction.
And besides, even if Brandon had played Gold/Silver (though they aren't even available on modern systems), it would've been a lame series anyway. Playing through the series chronologically is the best way of getting completely burnt out on the series because they're all so insanely similar. Jumping straight from RBY to SuMo is far more interesting because you skip all that.

It's really not as bad as scalping. There's a chance Damiani could have loved it, he was going to give it a go. He was honest about his apprehensions (and we're talking very old games here, there's good reason to worry about how well they've aged). A scalper never takes it our of its packaging, for risk of damaging the resale value. They won't ever play it just try to sell it to some chump for 3x the sticker price. You're telling me that one is as bad as the other here?
I want Easy Update to be fortnightly so that Ian can have a "spin-off" show. I want a show based around the online multiplayer episodes (SpyParty and What the Box) and the cozy playing a game together episodes (the two horror games with Huber).I really hope in 2017 they can find the time to make a show about more retro games, have 2 or 3 of the allies just talk about a game from the older consoles as a throwback thing, maybe make it fortnightly or monthly. That's the next show I really want from EZA going forward now.
Probably not what many others want but ah well
While yes it's just another series with them playing games, the games Ian chose for those weren't stuff that would ever get mentioned elsewhere by the allies, whether it's because they're obscure or because they're on PC. But also they were edited and not simply a stream.
The alternative, which I expected, would've been just an episode or two after they beat the game. A full series is better IMO.
It would've been nice to have the series start (well, the second episode) closer to release, but then again I started the game on launch day and beat it pretty fast so it wouldn't have mattered to me ¯\_(ツ
_/¯You wanna draw attention to the difference in view numbers, or the similar pose here? lol
Nvm, just saw the upload time. Derp
Battleborn is waiting inside.

Wow he is steaming a lot. He might actually like Titan fall 2. Easy AI, platforming, etc.
Whoa, just checked the schedule. Tip of my imaginary hat to Damiani! The guy is a beast!
Though, I don't really follow the streams myself except some of the group streams from Youtube. I still have to respect this.

Knowing then it's there but they won't have it added to the schedule. The whole huge block of Saturday streams was all just shadow drop streams.Was hoping for a huber and brad jolly christmas stream
Brad mentioned wanting to stream more bloodborne, Overwatch and maybe the first Nier game

When is the next Frame Trap coming?
Some time today
Was hoping for a huber and brad jolly christmas stream
Brad said in Huber's Destiny stream that they'd definitely be doing some streams over the holiday. They're probably just gonna be casual and not on the schedule.
new show hype!!!!!
Oh boy, seeing the lenght alone made me smile! I love Frame Trap, thank you Ben!
Still not sure if I'll check the TLG spoiler discussion. I mean, it's very unlikely that I'll ever buy PS4. But still it's such a game that I would love to play some day. I've stayed spoiler free about Journey and Last of Us too.
Hope so, another nes mini stream or something would be jolly.

Wow, wow, Brad and Ben anime podcast?! I'm so in!!! Haven't even finished watching the podcast but this is huge!
Can't wait for the berserk horse discussion. xD

Yes. Yesyesyes. Good point. I'm almost positive it will be the second episode. I assume the panel will be myself, Brad, Kyle, and Jones.

Good title. I spent about 10 minutes last night just petting Trico. I really should be pushing through with the game but I just can't stop myself.

Oh Jesus! But unfortunately I'm gonna skip the Berserk talk because I'm stuck on volume 26 until next year :'(
Anime podcast?
Will the new show center on anime only, or on manga as well? Asking cause, while I watched quite a few anime, I read like 150 different manga in the last 15 years, so there's a vast gap between my anime and manga knowledge. However, if you stick to the very famous ones, I'm pretty much set either way.
BTW - If you need any recommendations, do ask.
SECONDED. It'd be simply perfect.

We will be talking about manga too. For instance I'll be talking about the manga parts of Berserk a lot
I dabbled in anime in my younger years. So this could be interesting to get some recommendations and check some new stuff out. I quite enjoyed some of what I watched, Fullmetal Alchemist, Samurai Champloo, Hellsing and few others. And ofcourse I've seen some Miyazaki movies, also Akira, Paprika and Ghost in the Shell. So while I wasn't exactly thrilled to hear about the new show, I should try and make the best of it.

I prefer reading manga to watching anime at this point since it's just easier for me to consume quickly. The way the show is (tentatively) structured right now is we'll talk about a series in all of its different forms. So Berserk, for instance, we'll discuss the manga, the 97 anime, the movies, the 2016 anime, potentially the games, etc. It will be a broad look and then we'll dive into critical discussion/appreciation for the story as a whole. I hope that gives a clearer understanding. Keep in mind that this is still a work in progress so things could change.
Nice, absolutely adore the idea so far.
I'm glad you're finally getting your own show Brad and I love everything you do Ben, so I'm stoked.

Would love to hear the Allies discuss Naoki Urasawa's Monster.
That'd be good! Or an episode discussing all his works in general (especially 20th Century Boys).
That'd be cool, gonna throw out Oyasumi Punpun too as something that could create some interesting conversation.
As somebody who isn't into Anime particularly, I hope the new show will be noob friendly because I'd like to check it out. Maybe they could give an overview about the show of the month and introduce it to newcomers and why they think you should watch it. How many episodes/seasons are there, is it done, where does it sit in the spectrum of Anime. Then go into a deep dive for those that are familiar with it for the rest of the episode.

Looking at other popular Patreon games people.... don't fall into the trap of over-promising and spreading thin.
