[Obliterator]

YES

This was one of their best betting specials yet. Jones looking like a straight up Yakuza character, Ben the Rising Dragon, Ultima Brad, and the possible Redemption of Huber.

Huber burning the Giants merch at the beginning was a great touch lol

 

[trejo]

Rupees are rupees smartass

Lost it right there. Easy Allies are too good.

[Dragonslayer_023]

Need more confirmation on the rupee bet. Does each rupee count as one, or does it go by their value (blue rupee = 5.)

 

[renegade_dewitt]

This was something special. I totally loved it and enjoyed every moment of it. Proud to show off my EZA badge on my avatar. Great stuff! Classic even.

"Ultima Brad is the biggest try-hard I've ever seen"

Damn STRONG WORDS FROM BENZILLA!!!! It seems someone forgot we are in the NEW ERA

 

[jnWake]

Can't believe we have no GIF of Bosman's intro yet. It's wonderful.

I also lost it at Brand Manager praising everyone like a true boss. I hope Benzilla wins though, his callout on Ultima Brad at the end was hilarious.

 

[PeterGAF]

That new era look. That new era feel.

 

[Yonafunu]

As long as Bosman loses I'm fine with anyone. Rooting for Rainy Day tho.

 

[Seiryoden]

I love these guys so much, very proud to be a patron. I laughed so hard at Benzilla and Brand Manager Jones.

 

[dickroach]

the rules are so convoluted and stupid.
tone it down, Bosman.

just have questions and answers and have correct answers be worth points.

The convoluted nature is part of what makes it fun. Its supposed to be silly and over the top

 

[Hasney]

Yeah, keep the exhibitions convoluted. The 1 on 1 match ups are to the point.

 

[Qwark]

Just please, no more Bosman stand-up.. it's too much cringe.

You guys just don't get dry humor.

Lol,

I secretly want more stand-up.

I like how Jones played some Yakuza 0 earlier that day then he ends up looking like that

The bets played out pretty fun once they actually demonstrated how it works, so in the end it was worth it.

The way the rules/rounds work fit nicely with the competitive nature of the special since the outcome will determine who gets to go up agains "Ultima" at E3.

 

[Asd202]

This was amazing laughed all the way. Jones as Brand Manager was great .

 

[CoolOff]

Best in the biz! Brand Manager was amazing.

Rainy Day Ian is the best ally though. < 3

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

Just please, no more Bosman stand-up.. it's too much cringe.


Lol,

Spoiler

I secretly want more stand-up.

I was about to say.

I wish he'd make a genuine effort though.

His pre-GT days (although amateur) showed potential
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s39mBpPZ32Y

And we all know how awesome he is on "Dear...", and "Final..."
..It's time to see a real stand up (maybe even gaming focused) special.

I really hope we get a betting Royal Rumble at some point where every few minutes they add a new better to the mix

Pull in around $40,000 per month via Patreon.

 

[sora87]

The podcasts do well, the reaction videos do really well.
Everything else has criminally low views, especially Tabletop Escapades
Thanks to patreon though they're doing fine, breaking those patreon records.

Ya they need to find a way to grow beyond patreon, but that's tough. I hope they can break out to a larger viewership and get more going for them.

 

[Obliterator]

How are these guys doing? The number of views per video isn't looking too hot...

They are doing well. They get close to 40k every month from Patreon. Not as good as they should be given how awesome they are though. I wish they could get to the new studio stretch goal, it would help a lot I think

I loved it and Brand Manager is everything.

But why is Link as a girl still in question? Didn't Nintendo say some ridiculous things that confirm it as a hard no already?
