Easy Allies Podcast #131 - 9/26/18

Long segment or not, I'm really glad you guys took the time to just honor the Telltale gameography. They were easily one of my top 5 developers, and in light of all the negative backlash towards their working conditions and management flaws, it's nice to focus on the good memories that they gave us over the years. They truly did pioneer a genre and it was so cool to see them find success for so many years with their weird, quirky games.

Nimbus

I didn't even consider that, but I would be so in for a Policenauts translation (or any other previously unlocalized game for that matter).

Nimbus

Correction: 30 is not old

geography correction! In regards to where the X0 2018 will take place: Mexico DF is the capital city of Mexico. "Distrito Federal" in spanish = Federal District in English. Think of the name as the equivalent to "Washington D.C". dunno where Damiani was going with his answer to that hahaha. By the way, as of a year and a half ago or so, Mexico DF is now referred to as "Mexico City". Which is a more intuitive name for the capital lol, there are more reasons for that but it would be too boring to explain

Audacious Manatee

Maybe a good unreleased PS1 game would be Thrill Kill, it was completed and even leaked to the internet before, much like Star Fox II.

ha ha ha. Oh my god.. the reactions to the your vote doesn't matter bit. priceless.

Raven Perez

CORRECTION: Why not dive into the legal stuff about Tell Tale?!?! We have Hoeg on Hand, and it's super friggin interesting!

Comment about Pocket Card Jockey: there's no gambling and it's lots of fun :)

I prefer to meet everyone in the middle with Mega-Man.

Nick Geurtsen

lol jesus kyle. For god sakes vote people!!!

Chris Georgaras

You talking about Apocalypse? I had that on DreamCast! It was cooooooooooolll

Sean Dupree

The uncomfortable stewing provided by the panel when Kyle started talking about how voting doesn't matter makes this podcast an instant classic.

Nick Geurtsen

love that final word from kyle, little bit of optimistic nihilism.

collin

So the results for this week's bet is going to be fun. I'm interested in seeing how many reviews will write Megaman vs Mega Man. Seeing how even Capcom isn't straight about how it's spelled either.

Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were Rabbit is amazing and Puzzle Agent 1 & 2 are really fun too.

GW Fawkes

To the Daxter question: I'm currently playing Lunar 2 for ps1 and was shocked with out often one character uses the word retarded when he thought another character did something dumb. Times have definitely changed for the better. Still a very good game though and would recommend.

Joey and Cait

Puzzle Agent was the only Telltale game I ever played. It's cute and fun. It's just like an all-ages Fargo with Professor Layton-esque puzzles.

Phazonmasher

...nearly 30 is old?

Michael Cook

+1 for Greg shadow sponsoring Scorn. I missed the somber tapestries.

Larry DuPreez III

I can see where Kyle was going with this. Every time has been a time we should be paying attention to our country. The message of "your vote matters" has been said time and time again and I believe even a heartfelt message from Jones won't get them to vote (I believe Jones has talked about the importance of voting in the past). This message from Kyle was trying to convince those people. I'm sure at least one person will be voting because of that.

Rappy

Not sure if that was a bit, Kyle, but yikes! Thanks for the final word, Jones. The voice of a person can often feel insignificant but the voice of the people can be extremely powerful. Is my Patreon pledge insignificant? That way of thinking is dangerous. Please go vote, everybody. L&R

Matt McCarthy

Jet Moto, Syphon Filter, Tomb Raider, and that one game with Bruce Willis, and I am sold on the PS CLASSIC.

DF means Federal District, Point Mexico City as the Capital, Just like DC in Washington

Gabriel Heilborn

In a time when we should all be encouraging one another to pay attention to what's happening in our country I think it's in poor taste that Kyle used his soap box to attempt selling voting as "pointless fun." This is not a productive or helpful way to talk about it, just straight opinion sold as fact.

The wrong trousers is Hilarious. The train chase scene is soo good.

cnote51

Because their products aren't selling well? As they said themselves?

DaleBastion

Kyles final word on voting was gold lol thanks for that love and respect and Please GO VOTE! The people are the power patreon is proof of that.

John Wingate

Bottom line is Microsoft let's you do it and Sony doesn't. And has Sony detailed why it is so difficult or why it hasn't happened yet? Because if they haven't, it's on Sony and the flak on Layden's last comment on the subject is warranted.

Rappy

I find it in poor taste that the panel makes a bit of a mokery of the PSN name changing. I think that topic should have been handled better and with more respect. As a IT administrator and knwoing a lot about accounts it is not as simple as yuou think and there are many rules involved why you just don't change names. One big problem I am thinking of is finatial history. Sony is a worldwide company and has to abide by the laws there. That means keeping track of the finatial data and they need to keep that for a long time. in some places up to 10+ years of backtracking. Try changing names and accounts on that and still be able to actually give the correct info to the government in that country. ITS NOT THAT SIMPLE. I hope this will let the allies think a bit more about how they handle stuff that nobody but the people that actually sit with it each day has the knowledge to talk about this.

Christophe Fettouhi

I dont understand why a big publisher doesnt just buy Telltale

An English translation of Policenauts included on the PSOne classic would be pretty damn sweet! Doubt it will ever happen, but it would be an awesome add.

Correction(sort of) the reason GTAV still sells so well is simple, there's multiple 13th birthdays everyday all year round.

The new game shark card doesn't work unless you use different accounts

Ibrahim Sozer

Lars... has grain

D-Up Gaming

Correction: I believe what was trying to be said with GTAV and shark cards is that a new copy of GTA V comes with $100 worth of shark money for only a $60 dollar game, thus meaning if you wanted $100 of shark money its cheaper to just re- buy game at $60 than pay $100 on psn. Than you trade in the game and use that money for PSN cards etc. NOTE that may not be the true amount just using them to clear up the point.

does the background of the close-up cameras look tilted to anyone else?

jif52

Damiani, looking good with the haircut!

Josh Burcham

Danke Jonesy.
