Happy Anniversary, Allies!
Added 2018-03-22 05:29:07 +0000 UTCGetting this enterprise off the ground was one thing. Lasting two whole years is another. When we got into this Patreon I was elated because it meant that I was going to keep doing what I love. Now it means even more, because of the amazing opportunities that are opening up to us. We can gather around the gloriousness that is video games, but things like Box Peek and our second Concert this past weekend are on another level for me. They’re something that a greater audience can enjoy. It’s work that you can appreciate without knowing who we are. It’s stuff like this that we’ve wanted to make, and you’ve asked about, for a long time. Seeing pieces of it finally come together fills me with a joy that’s hard to describe.
Some of the greatest bits of creativity come from you, the community. We had to stop requesting “And For That Reason…” entries during the podcast because there were just too many good ones to talk about. Our Community Showcase continues to impress each month, and some of my favorite conversations have spawned from excellent questions and submissions. So as year 3 begins, I encourage you to maintain that engagement. Introduce yourself to people on Twitch, ask me that burning question on Cup of Jones, contact us through Patreon when you have a concern. We have tremendous strength in numbers here at Easy Allies. Not just money, or subscriptions, or followers, but people with opinions to express and dreams of where we can steer this crazy ship.
I’ve never been prouder of the fine gentlemen I work with each day, and the incredibly supportive audience we’re fortunate enough to entertain. I look forward to talking to you about some fun stuff we have planned in the coming months. Each step of the way has been built by you, no matter how much you donate, or how long you’ve been an ally.
It was a fun party this week. Time to get back to work!

2018-03-23 20:16:54 +0000 UTCjust thank YOU Brandon.
2018-03-23 16:51:09 +0000 UTCThank you guys so much. I can’t believe it has been two years. Started following y’all after the year of dreams by listening to GT time. Never realized you were the voice of all those video game reviews on g4 I listened to. I can’t believe it has been two years since checking Neogaf a month after all shut down and saw the announcement, subscribing immediately. I want to say I was in one of the 1st 100. What a wild ride and thanks to each of you

2018-03-22 21:45:59 +0000 UTCI may not have gotten in on the ground floor of GT but I did for EZA and it's been amazing and I love you guys. Here's to many years to come!

2018-03-22 21:42:12 +0000 UTCHappy anniversary! I was very disappointed when GT was shut down, but I am more than thrilled with the amazing group that is Easy Allies that has come forth out of it. Easy Allies has become an important constant source of joy in my life and I’ll proudly keep supporting you guys.

2018-03-22 20:32:23 +0000 UTCLove and Respect my friends. Wish you the absolute best for year 3 and beyond. From the Trial of Kyle Bossman to the EZA concerts, it's been a fun ride and I for one can't wait to see what you guys come up with next =]
2018-03-22 19:36:50 +0000 UTCOn break at work...reading this. Man feels good. My wife and I watch more Easy Allies content than tv/movies. I'll be 80 and still supporting you guys as long as you keep it going. Great community!

2018-03-22 18:15:18 +0000 UTCSO does this mean there will be a "And for that reason..." Only podcast to handle all the callously discarded gems that followed the rules but were passed over for other entries that clearly did NOT follow the rules???? Many Happy Returns of your Anniversaries Allies! Admiration and Esteem!

2018-03-22 17:12:35 +0000 UTCMuch love and respect to you and the rest of the allies. I was a big fan of Game Trailers and am so glad you all decided to take on this venture. Happy 2 Year Anniversary. May there be many more to come!
2018-03-22 16:04:44 +0000 UTCLove & Respect, Mr. Jones! Cheers to you and the whole crew for making a difference in the world of video games. Please keep doing what you love!
2018-03-22 13:29:24 +0000 UTCLove and Respect to you, Jones, and to all the Allies. Happy to have supported for almost a year, and looking forward to a great year 3!

2018-03-22 09:25:38 +0000 UTCI spend so many hours with you guys every week, really appreciate your positive energy in this gaming world of ours. I wish you a bright future going forward!

2018-03-22 09:23:26 +0000 UTCIt feels strange to say that I’m proud of people many times more successful than myself, but it’s true - it’s been a true joy watching you all grow and develop on your own terms for the past two years. You’ve done great work with the support the community has given you, and I’m excited to see what comes in year 3!

2018-03-22 09:14:29 +0000 UTCI'll never be able to express this enough, but just thank you all for coming back after the end of GT and believing some chat farts in a dying Twitch channel when we said we'll carry yall with our wallets as long as you're happy continuing to do this crazy thing. It was a risk none of you had to take, mostly for the sake of some fans that just didn't want to let go, and I'm sure even if EZA never happened you all would've moved on to success elsewhere. Instead you put your faith in us, introduced us to Sophie and a plethora of wonderful new projects we couldn't have dreamed of, and continue to take a pay hit compared to what you guys could be getting elsewhere to break your backs and hurt your fingers making us happy one way or another. It can be easy to forget when drama springs up and people get heated, but thank you for the continued sacrifices.

2018-03-22 06:37:44 +0000 UTCThank you EZA for providing the absolute best video game content out there. Here's to another prosperous year!

2018-03-22 06:20:49 +0000 UTCMy understanding is the segment is still continuing, they just have so many good suggestions already that they are not asking for any more at this time. I believe it's been mentioned before but I could be wrong.

2018-03-22 05:58:10 +0000 UTCI'm so happy to have found this community. It's been one hell of a ride, a ride I'm happy to be on and ride again and again. You guys are awesome, can't wait to see what the future holds for Easy Allies, I predict it continues to go up.
2018-03-22 05:57:40 +0000 UTCThank you for everything you and the rest of the Allies do, Jones. I’m so proud to be part of this community.

2018-03-22 05:55:24 +0000 UTCLove and respect to everyone! So glad to be a part of the community and I am constantly inspired by the people in it. I wear my Love and Respect pin with pride every day and I can't wait for Year 3. Keep being the amazing folks that you are and we'll keep comin' back. Love and respect to all! :)
2018-03-22 05:48:10 +0000 UTCYou're awesome Noah! Keep being an absolute badass!
Chris Leroux
2018-03-22 05:47:52 +0000 UTCI'm so proud of what the Allies have accomplished in that past two years. I can already tell year 3 will be the best yet!
2018-03-22 05:46:09 +0000 UTCStarted as a GT spin-off and evolved into a whole new sort of digital media community entity, the likes of which I did not know existed but is even better. Cool stuff, Jones.

2018-03-22 05:46:01 +0000 UTCNo more "And for that reason"? Was that stated somewhere else, or is this the first place it's been said?
2018-03-22 05:45:14 +0000 UTCGG
2018-03-22 05:42:55 +0000 UTCYear 3, onwards and upwards! Cheers!
2018-03-22 05:42:32 +0000 UTCJones is the kind of person I want to be when I get older, kindhearted yet conscientious, experienced but not jaded, and most importantly classy but not pretentious.
2018-03-22 05:40:12 +0000 UTCHey- thanks, man. I know every time we see each other we joke about how all we do is spout a neverending cycle of 'thank you' to each other, but I think that might be the best thing about EZA. It's not a one-sided thing and never has been. What you treasure is the community you're building, the people you directly inspire, the folks you've helped. Both the creators and the audience get an equal benefit and a mutual appreciation that I'll never get tired of. So here's a sincere and lasting thanks. You've done a lot for all of us (and definitely for me). Here's to the future :)

2018-03-22 05:36:32 +0000 UTCCongrats on everything Jones! It brings me such joy to see Easy Allies continue to succeed without compromise. You guys are authentic, passionate, and so joyful. That's why I love you guys and this amazing community. Cheers!

2018-03-22 05:35:41 +0000 UTC2 years feels like an eternity. Congratulations on reaching this milestone. Hopefully you guys would do something bigger for the upcoming year (perhaps maybe taking part in Extra Life 2018)
2018-03-22 05:35:25 +0000 UTCL&R Mr Jones !!! Year 3 Let's GO !!!!
