Easy Allies Podcast #112 - 5/16/18

Great show guys. A curious thing struck me while talking about Just Cause 4. Blood said that all that comes to mind are islands, planes and explosions, why would a woman be there? Is it that hard to think a woman would be on an island, or flying a plane, or being part of an explosion?

Miguel Pires Ramos

Can’t wait for the next podcast. E3 is real now! And I’m going there for the first time! #Hype

Just wanted to say this was such a fun podcast this week. Lots of different discussions, the E3 excitement is in the air, a good podcast...cast. Loved it!

CORRECTION: my mother is a dentist so i asked her about flossing and that what she said : " you need to floss once a day recommended in the evning and it dosent matter if it before or after you brash, I floss in evening in frot of the tv and then brash before I want to bad. It's important to clean the small thing's that get stuck between your teeth it can creat gum infection" She made write the full quote

bangos

Wasn't the burning chateau in uncharted 3?

Barnstar

i think it's the disappointment of it that sucks eg a game like mad max does not have any stakes as a game series so he can enjoy the good parts where as something of that quality is now in a acclaimed series it's much worse(same with God Of War: Ascension)

Michael James Hudson-kohlmeyer

CORRECTION: The medical term for a runny nose is Rhinorrhea, the same way Halitosis is the medical term for persistent bad breath

Hubers dislike of Gears 4 is baffling to me when he loves average games like Quantum Break, Outlast 2 and The Evil Within. I'm not sayin Gears 4 is as good as Gears 3 but it is a solid 8/10.

Can we have a podcast of Ian, Brad, Huber and Kyle just impersonating Disney cartoon characters? Pretty please?

Karl Williams

I loved how Ian handled the objective. Great podcast as always :) L&R

Thales Augusto

Correction: Actually Mary Poppins is not better than Princess Bride.

Samuel Cardwell

I just wanted to say thank you for pointing out Blood has yet to win one. I rooted for Jones and Blood for the longest time and after Jones finally won I root for Blood every single time. I'm sure he says he doesn't care but like the Cleveland Browns you know they hurt on the inside.

Joey and Cait

Leaks ruin the fun of announcements. ..

Chris H

Good show guys :)

erni

CORRECTION: The fire escape sequence is in Uncharted 3, not Uncharted 2.

Andy Goergen

Huber I liked your 'on the platforms with the fortnite' joke. I also liked how much floss chat there was at the beginning.

Game looks like Borderlands with better graphics

William Craig

CORRECTION: Tom Crooze is a stuntman in the new Mary Poppins, not to be confused with the actor Tom Cruise.

Star Tsurugi

Not quite a correction but something that will be fun to clarify next week: Kyle was almost certainly hesitant about playing the Kingdom Hearts L&R game because there's a big KH3 preview event happening this week in LA. Wouldn't be surprised if one of the Allies scored an invite. In any case, the embargo on it will be lifted by the time this podcast goes public, so hopefully we'll have some guesses confirmed. (Mary Poppins summon FTW)

DaleBastion

This comment tipped me off that they played my Kingdom Hearts L&R game and got me excited so thank you :)

DaleBastion

CORRECTION: While the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. devs do probably have Russian names and some are probably ethnic Russians. The studio is Ukrainian. Just how it is with the Soviet Union's dissolution. Russians everywhere.

Star Tsurugi

Airships? And for that reason... I'm in!

Tokyo Slim

Floss first. Use good quality floss. It works.

Barnstar

Talos Principle speedruns are amazing. Look it up if you've never seen one.

MBUN

Cliff Bleszinski gave us the Lancer..he is a legend for that alone. The unused ideas he shared on twitter...people discussing how the rejected game ideas were all better than the games that were actually released. It is a shame. That dragon idea (code name Dragonflies) looked great and some of the concept art from the DogWalkers game is my background now. He wanted a 40 million dollar budget for Dragonflies...that would have been something to see. "A singleplayer/co-op game about samurai/ninja clans that operate out of massive airships and ride high-tech gun-toting dragons against an undead army." You find and raise your own dragons...how did this not get made?

ComboBreaker

In fairness to Kyle, I opened Microsoft Edge which I never use and don't have cookies for, and searched Amazon on Google, and it's still basically every link that comes up. In fairness to you, I did get a non-Amazon the company link at #62 which would've given the point to Ian instead of Jones. Interestingly, the same link actually moved up to #61 when using my regular Chrome session and was again the first non-Amazon the company link, despite the fact that it should be more heavily biased to Amazon as you say (I'm on there frequently).

Nicholas Poer

This is the moment they were thinking of: <a href="https://youtu.be/GwofRzkROo4?t=5809" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/GwofRzkROo4?t=5809</a> Ian mixed them up, so the correction would be that Kojima requested the Mad Max Fury Road music, and Shawn Layden didn't mention a specific song or soundtrack but merely that Walking out to an orchestra is "the most amazing thing ever".

GermanScientist

Sadly, RAGE 2 currently looks like all that I hate about Avalanche's way too over-the-top, action-heavy Just Cause series, and nothing similar to the things I love about their atmospheric and immersive Mad Max game.

Camian

Hi Kyle - just so you know regarding the Amazon bet. Google uses your cookies to give you search results. Using Incognito won't change your search results right away - it just doesn't add to your cookies during that session (you can do a quick experiment). So all this tells us is that your search history is heavily favored towards the company Amazon :)

Kevin

So I was looking for Shawn Layden talking about walking out to an orchestra, and unfortunately I couldn’t find it, but I did find this video where he says the Kojima actually requested to walk out to the Mad Max theme. Around 5:50 <a href="https://youtu.be/lOB7Z-sUT9U" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/lOB7Z-sUT9U</a>

NoaZo

OMG just noticed the Gengar - is that the one I gifted? Sweet.

VGJunky

It doesn’t matter what kind of mood I’m in. That opening theme song always brightens my day.

Michael Miller

This podcast surfaces by popular demand.

I'm here for the gas station.
