Cup of Jones - November 9, 2020
Added 2020-11-09 18:01:01 +0000 UTCI moved! Amanda, Milo, Norbert, Sophie, and I all packed our bags and I'm now broadcasting (kinda) from a new location. I'm going to need a bit more time to get everything working the way I like, but my spirits are high. This was definitely a positive change for myself, and hopefully, my role within Easy Allies when it comes to the quality of the stuff that I produce from home. I'm looking forward to making small improvements to the stuff I edit and stream, and showing you some fun corners of the new House Troop-Jones. Leave questions/comments if you have them here, and I'll do two weeks worth of catch-up next Monday.

Have a groovy next-gen launch, everyone!

Hi Jones, Hope you and the family are doing well after the big move and that everyone is staying healthy and safe. I have missed a few COJ episodes recently so im not sure if this was answered, but my question is about Hall of Greats. My understanding was that there was going to be a HOG episode every quarter/3-months-ish posted. We are now wrapping up 2020 pretty soon and we only have 2 episodes so far. Im assuming there will be one more left before the year end, but what happened to the missing episode? I'm just curious thats all. I was wondering, was it the pandemic that pretty much messed up the schedule of everything? Or have you guys decided not to follow the original schedule of HOG now that Bosman is gone and only do it when you guys have time? I realize 2020 has been a complete mess, so I understand if shooting schedules were completely messed up. I just hope you guys continue the regular schedule of HOG, as it's one of my favourite shows on EZA. Thanks again. Keep up the amazing work. I will always continue to support you guys no matter what. -Babak Karimian (you dont have to read this part on air Jones, but if you wanted help with pronouncing my name, it's pronounced "Ba-back Karim-ian" hopefully that makes sense?)

2020-11-16 00:02:55 +0000 UTCHey Brandon on your last cup of Jones you talked about the team needing some time off. I guess my question is are you and the allies seriously considering taking a vacation. In my personal opinion and I think I speak for a lot of people in the community I think you guys definitely deserve some time off and should take some time to recharge your batteries after this crazy year we have had and especially now that we’re finally passed the next GEN craziness. You guys have gone above and beyond with keeping your content great and consistent throughout this entire pandemic thanks for all you do and hope your move went smoothly love and respect to the entire Jones clan-Quinton

2020-11-15 11:30:37 +0000 UTCHello Jones! In a past episode I mentioned that for next years patron party you should do a personal questions only Cup of Jones. Your response was that it would be very short and might not be worth it because you don't get very many personal question now-a-days. I would like to dispute that claim by saying that you don't get many personal questions anymore because you don't answer them in video form. Which is not what the people want, so they don't bother. Also you might have some kind souls out there that know CoJ takes time and don't want to waste your time with simple curiosities. All I am saying, is that if you were to ever put out the call for a special personal questions Cup of Jones, you would most likely get a usual length episode. Thank you for your time.

2020-11-13 02:44:15 +0000 UTCHey there Jones, I had some questions regarding EZA and scriptwriting when doing reviews. Do you typically aim for a minimum or have a maximum amount of words you cap off at when your or other Allies are writing a review or script? I ask mainly because on average, it appears that minus a few exceptions, reviews are between 7-8 minutes long. Minus a few games like Persona 5, that are particularly lengthy, and a few others that go above that time mark, this continues for all of EZA's reviews. If a game has a lot of content to cover, do you encourage everyone to cut a shorter script to stick with the time average (as I imagine going past maybe the 12 minute mark would begin to lose viewers) or would you prefer to cover more from the game in a review and script, and risk making the video lengthier? I'm curious about the process you and the other writers and editors of EZA go through to make sure a script and video maintain a good time and length without going overboard. Love ya, hope you're liking the new home Brian from Happy Gaming

2020-11-13 02:43:44 +0000 UTCHey Jones, Already posted on last week's cup of jones but shoot I got another comment to make! I believe it's time Brad gets his own show. Since Kyle left the allies earlier this year, I surprisingly find Brad to be the funniest ally just off his blunt and straight forward remarks while also keeping it 100. If given the opportunity I could see him thrive in the spotlight! Love and Respect

2020-11-12 05:22:35 +0000 UTCHi, Jones. Congratulations on the moving. Can all CoJ from now on be in nature?! I kid, but it's really great to see some very green plants outside, I love nature. No questions this week, just wanted to congratulate you and comment on how beautiful nature is. And before I forget, it's your job as Papa Jones to convince the Allies to do an "EZA Outdoors" special. Probably impossible, though maybe there's a hunger for it after so long in isolation, but no pressure. lol L & R

2020-11-09 20:25:13 +0000 UTCCongratulations on the move Jones! Hope it goes smooth the rest of the way! QUESTION: With the Hall of Greats approaching, instead of playing A game within a year, would a yearly round table type of discussion about the games that got in, be a better option for all of the Allies? Or would it be the same type of issue concerning time?
