Easy Allies Podcast #74 - August 23rd 2017

I agree. I preferred the plot personally for Heavy Rain, but Beyond's execution was their best thus far. I'm excited to see how Detroit fairs off against each of them.

Hey Allies, Todays segment is called: Organise my nerd life. I am a 28 year old father and husband who works full time. My hobbies are gaming, comics, movies/tv and reading novels. I have been experiencing difficulty balancing these hobbies as i have been focusing on my gaming (zelda, Persona 5, Bloodborne, Splatoon 2 just to name a few). My availabilities for my hobbies are on average 2.5 hours at night and 1 hour during the day. I am a member of a monthly book club plus a member of the easy allies movie club. I am struggling to watch the podcast movies and read my book club book. Any help woyld be greatly appreciated. Love and respect. Steven Beaumont

Did Brandon Jones missed the treehouse stream of Joshi for Switch?

I was surprised the allies didn't think Beyond two souls was very good. It has a very interesting story, awesome and it was one of the earlier games to do full on acting which I love. and seriously, who doesn't love willem dafoe?

In cause its not clear, the Windows10 Edition is the one you buy through any of the Consoles, on Phones, or in the Windows10 embedded store. The Java edition is the version you download from Mojang's website, and is the version used for modding. There is no crossplay between the two versions, but Java edition also has a separate but equal version of Realms. Otherwise Windows10 Edition and Java are at this point identical in features beyond the fact that Windows10 Edition can't be modded.

Minecraft Realms is a subscription service for $3.99 per month for a server supporting up to 3 simultaneous players (including the owner) or $7.99 11 players(including the owner). The appeal is that its the only way to have dedicated servers on the Windows10/Pocket Edition of the game(this isn't the java version), and that anyone who plays on Mobile/Console/PC can all play together now. You can also load premade minigame maps to compete with friends on, and they're continuing to add more.

CORRECTION: did you guys forget the HD Rumble? thats motion control mix with the classic control.

Jones, everything you said you want MG Survive to be is already greatly done in State of Decay, I personally think it's the best zombie game because of its "survival" feeling and knowing exactly who are people in your group. And I can't really recall if you told if you played it, and if not I really suggest you to try sandbox survival in it. Don't want to depreciate Survive,I just really think its a hidden gem game and was reminded of it after your speech

Tom Petty is the best! In fact my parents named me after him

That platypus "sound" killed me ;D

I liked Jurassic World >.>

Karl Williams

So there is a reason Madden sales were effected this week by numbers so I don't know if this messes up the bet or not. Madden the $60 regular version is released this Friday and not on Tuesday. The Madden version released on Tuesday is specifically the $80 G.O.A.T. version. There are people, like myself, who opted to wait until Friday to pick this up as I didn't want to spend an extra $20 for early access or any of the other extras it gave you.

Joey and Cait

Thanks for keeps talking about fan games! And thanks Rick Hoeg for insights! I actually got really hyped and pumped on working on my fan game again (The Legend of Zelda: Sheikah's Curse, as ranted on I think 2 podcasts ago?) Anyway I guess you're even more in the clear if you just show vids or trailers of the game and not make it downloadable?And it makes sense for the 'brand damaging' or that Nintendo felt kind of awkward about AMR2, since they already themselves made a Metroid 2 remake. (and then again, maybe they're also working on an MM style sequel, which mean they could double down on me, lol.) Hmm.. I wonder if they have something similar to Breath of the Nes in the pipelines because they shut down that game too?

Correction/Info - The original Xbox pack-in game was Tetris Words and Star Wars Clone Wars.

"Is that a cat out there?" 5 star distraction.

POKEY CLYDE

please make "Forbidden Stream" a regular stream where the allies play games that have been delisted.

Sean Dupree

Regarding CoD WW2 multiplayer: the game America's Army always has you playing on the side of the US, while the opposition is seen as a fictitious, generic, middle eastern, insurgency-style enemy, which works really well in my opinion. It does so since 2002 throughout four games.

sweet mother of god, this needs to happen!!! It's brilliant!

Kexx

The SAG-AFTRA voice actor strike actually does not include Sony. It affects Insomniac, so it may have an effect on Spiderman, but otherwise it appears that SAG-AFTRA voice actors are free to work on Sony's games.

Sam Handrick

I want ... JUST ONCE... for Ben (in the middle of the Easy Allies Podcast) to reveal someone has caught them all in a frame trap. Cross over lore!

Raven Perez

I was just going to post this. The real version of the game, standard, isn't even out yet. Pretty fishy bets

Brogan Trull

Madden Deluxe Edition released Tuesday (it's an extra $20) but the "Normal" version doesn't release until Friday

I'm surprised Ben didn't lock DBFZ.

Games feel better on the pro than they do with joycons though.

VGJunky

I just want to add another fan game that, against all odds actually got approval from a big corporation. Installation 01, the Halo multiplayer game that is been developed by fans and for the PC with full go ahead from Microsoft and Team 343.

SnakeEyes

Weird that nobody mentioned the Joycons for the Switch as controller innovation and everyone acted like the Pro Controller is the default for the Switch when it doesn't even come with a Switch normally. Going from NES to SNES to 64 to Gamecube to Wii to Wii U to Switch Nintendo has NEVER stuck to a similar base controller design, so they're the last people you should wag your finger towards for stagnating in that department.

MBUN

Thank you, Kyle. Time was short and you clarified my L&R was more nuanced than what you mentioned. It's enough for me to know you read it. Much Love & Respect

GREAT sleeper pick Ben. The previous (non f2p) was Assault Horizon, not Event Horizon, although I don't blame anyone for pushing it out of their minds.

The name of the studio head of Biomutant, Stefan Ljungqvist, is pronounced correctly in Google Translate. The 'L' is silent in this case <a href="https://translate.google.com/#sv/en/Stefan%20Ljungqvist" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://translate.google.com/#sv/en/Stefan%20Ljungqvist</a> /Ojli (from Sweden)
