The Easy Allies E3 2019 Betting Special: Total Degeneration
Added 2019-06-07 03:21:57 +0000 UTChttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ7YLz-nRCc
Before clicking play, let us first give thanks to Ian Hinck for somehow assembling this monster edit as quickly as he did.
The last couple of weeks I've been trying to keep the format of this year's betting special under wraps as best as I could, because this one is probably the most unconventional (and degenerate) idea I've had yet. We had a lot of fun shooting this one and I hope that comes across. We'll shoot the results show the night of Monday, June 17th, so please do not badger any Easy Allies before then.
Also!! An EZA community member named Christian Davis (perhaps more commonly known as FireworksOrDie) has been working with a friend to create a site where you can play the betting special at home--same rules, same bets, everything. Check out ShockOrScoff.com to play along.
Good Luck, and Happy E3!

2019-06-08 10:40:40 +0000 UTCThis was the best special so far, amazing stuff! Also be aware guys, it doesn't say Todd Howard has to apologise for Fallout 76, it could be for anything!

2019-06-08 00:41:41 +0000 UTCThis was a real treat! Well done implementing those poll results and the precious Don bucks. I'm so happy to see the betting special return with a bang. E3 Starts right now!

2019-06-07 23:18:19 +0000 UTCThis was incredibly entertaining. Honestly, I'd wager it was the best Betting Special yet. Great incorporation of each ally, cool evolution of your core concept, and the stakes are going to produce a fun showcase for each loser. The reveal we can play along at the end was the icing on the cake. You all nailed it.
2019-06-07 22:31:23 +0000 UTCI'd put it second to the Nintendo conference/Direct.

2019-06-07 20:58:06 +0000 UTCAfter a long and slow day at work, this was definitely what I needed. A great start to the weekend. Thank you so much Easy Allies, this was so enjoyable to watch. The new format is awesome.

2019-06-07 19:23:34 +0000 UTCI've been following you for a long time and have loved all of your betting specials. With that being said, I think that this is definitely the best one yet. Really good stuff all around everyone! Huber is a maniac with that bet... but I think it's gonna happen

2019-06-07 18:49:41 +0000 UTCI love all the bets and am very excited to see the results, but I have to be honest and say my favorite part of the vid was Jones performance in the beginning. Brilliant.

2019-06-07 18:31:38 +0000 UTCExcellent return of form for bets! Mine are below: https://shockorscoff.com/2019e3/tickets?username=Dangerscouse
2019-06-07 18:27:30 +0000 UTCCouldn't fit it all in the form but wanted to share it anyway; here's my FINAL BET: Looks like a Mario&Rabbids2 trailer; a RABBID MARIO is rummaging around in Peach's castle basement and finds an old, dusty toy box. Inside? A GENO doll. Huge crash and lightning from outside, the floor shakes as a thud reverberates throughout the castle. RABBID MARIO runs out to the bridge, looks up to see EXOR sticking straight into the castle. RABBID MARIO jumps off the bridge as it collapses, panics, and flees. Pan back to the toy box in the basement, and the GENO doll is gone... Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars 2 LET'S GO
2019-06-07 17:30:08 +0000 UTCThe roundup at the end of the video of explaining the stakes and getting everyone to agree was so jolly

2019-06-07 13:25:52 +0000 UTCSo good. Keep up the great work guys!
2019-06-07 13:20:12 +0000 UTCLove the addition of real betting. For motivational factors, the previous specials mixed the allies' desire to be right with their desire for great E3 moments. Now, like gasoline on a fire, comes greed. Love love love it. Blood doesn't seem affected tho, heh. And re: the Todd Howard bet---I can't wait to watch the Council define "apology."

2019-06-07 09:21:43 +0000 UTCI've watched every single betting special at least once, but this is hands down the best one. Love the edit, love the final bets, intro and outro and every second inbetween, great job! I had a blast watching this and can't wait to check the website and lock in my own bets. L&R
Monika
2019-06-07 08:41:40 +0000 UTCAre there official ally entries on shockorscoff.com? Will there be?
2019-06-07 07:50:33 +0000 UTCI would watch it Right Now, but I just got to work and in my opinion the betting special deserves, no, Requires a big screen, so I'll save it for when I get home. Can't wait!
