A prerecorded episode today to give some behind-the-scene details regarding last Wednesday's Puppet Spectacular. I ran out of time to put in everything that I wanted into the feature, so here's what's lying on the cutting room floor, other ideas I had about the show that didn't make it, and inspirations behind what did. Leave any questions you want me to ask next week, and thanks for tuning into our E3 coverage!

DISCLAIMER: I take questions from the post comments on the previous week’s episode here on Patreon. You can ask a business-related question which I may answer live, or a personal question which I may answer below. If your business question was not answered live, I either replied to it in the comments, or referenced the answer in a recent episode. Feel free to inquire why your question wasn't included, or ask the same question a second time if you think I may have missed it. I will edit your comment/question before reading it live to ensure the show moves as quickly as possible. I typically grab all the questions by midnight (PT) the night before each episode.

Hey Jones! What is your feeling about the Blue Box Game Studios speculation? Kojima ruse or could it actually be Silent Hill?

Was there a noticeable bump in patreon? That kind of stuff. Cheers! Also, no worries but my last name is pronounced with a soft "ch" sound. Think 'Charles.'

2021-06-21 03:20:47 +0000 UTCBy far my favorite part of the Love and Respect portion of the podcast is the game[s], but these last two podcasts haven't had any. I can't recall this ever happening before. What's going on there?

In the recent square conference at e3. Most of the music was not included in the live streams. Why would a developer not include something for the live streams that’s not copyrighted? Thanks for all you do!

But when Easy Allies makes its triumphant return to Broadway, will it be for gala opening nights again, to see your name in lights again, to go from dark to brights again, or to make your spirits high as kites again? Bonus question: when will downloadable versions of the Puppet Spectacular songs be made available?

2021-06-20 05:43:08 +0000 UTCHey there Jones, Watching the last two weeks' podcasts have reminded me how much I missed seeing everyone in person in the studio together. Overall, it makes conversations more natural than Zoom calls allowing for better flow, and especially great audio quality by comparison. While online gaming is certainly easier in some cases, it also makes me excited for anything upcoming that you can all do in person. Mini Game Champions would work especially well in an in-person setting, but I definitely think that there would be a considerable energy to another season of Hunting Huber now that everyone can actually feed off of each other. These shows could even now have the rest of the Allies as a live audience, or possibly off screen with occasional commentary. Are there any plans to shooting these shows that were initially recorded through Zoom at the studio together? When can we expect another season of Mysterious Monsters? Sorry for being scattered! I think you're all doing a tremendous job and just wanted to check in on future plans and schedules for shows and whatnot. Love and Respect, Brian
Happy Gaming

Since the games submitted for the podcast take up the most time usually in the L&R section, I thought it would be kind of cool to do a separate show that is all about patron submitted games. I think there are some fun ideas that you could do with this. Maybe make it like a game show (I know we already have mysterious monsters) or something else. This way you might be able to take more L&R questions for the podcast and it could be a new fun show that I think viewers would enjoy. I know I would love it! Anyways, thanks for taking my comment!

2021-06-17 04:21:38 +0000 UTCHey Jones, no question, just wanted to say thank you once again for the Puppet Spectacular and now added thank you for this Cup of Jones episode! The bonus bit with Kyle was very funny, he even said on his stream that you made him laugh a lot and he was cracking up. Anyway, I've watched the show several times now and it's still amazing, I love the songs, especially the opening Castlevania, I caught myself singing it just randomly during the day. Great work, thank you! <3

2021-06-14 17:21:27 +0000 UTCJones director's commentary is the best. The after credits scene was great too. I hope we get another puppet spectacular some day. Or a pupper spectacular ft. Sophie.
