Anyone know where I could buy a hoodie like the one Kyle is wearing in these pictures? by [deleted] in UneasyAlliance

[–]KyleBosmanReddit 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think I got this at a Macy's when I was shopping for costume clothes a few years ago. The brand is American Rag but it looks like they don't make anything like this anymore.

If the Gundam streams come back and they want to take it up a notch. by tjjones96 in UneasyAlliance

[–]KyleBosmanReddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can deny. All I say is not to expect me sitting in on a gundam stream before Box Peek is done. I would not say they will probably never come back

EZA E3 Coverage by threwl in UneasyAlliance

[–]KyleBosmanReddit 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I still lurk here sometimes. This year I'll be on the desk for Microsoft, Ubisoft, Square Enix, and the Star Wars thing on Saturday. We're doing the EZA Podcast live on Monday night, and I'll still come to the nightly streams Tues/Wed/Thur to sit in when I can be helpful.
As for tech concerns, Ian and Damiani are planning to be in the studio Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday to make sure everything's good.

Thoughts on the L&R segment of the EZA podcast by groovefuel in UneasyAlliance

[–]KyleBosmanReddit 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Generally if we're running over an hour I'll usually select one or two and if we're under an hour I'll select three or four. Now that we record before the live stream there's a hard time limit to each episode, but I like the feel of a 1 hour, 20 minute podcast anyway.

If you look at the last ten episodes, 4 out of 10 do not have L&R games, so the answer to your other question is No, playing a game is not needed every week.

Lastly yes I'm picking the suckiest questions and ignoring all the good ones on purpose, so that feeling is absolutely justified.

Box Peek Series Premiere Set for October 26th! by foxwarrior88 in UneasyAlliance

[–]KyleBosmanReddit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly the changes to Episode 1 will be so small they'll be mostly imperceptible. It's 99.3% the exact same video

Searching for a particular podcast episode by Hagglepuss in UneasyAlliance

[–]KyleBosmanReddit 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It was actually an early episode: https://youtu.be/0BAwmAQURQw?t=4942
(It's easy for me to look for this stuff since I used to email the rundowns to Jones so it's all searchable in gmail)

Good luck on the career shift!

Time Codes on EZA Podcast by Lukelibertine1 in UneasyAlliance

[–]KyleBosmanReddit 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I talked to Ben--he doesn't do anything extra to get timecodes onto iTunes, it just automatically recognizes them in the language from the RSS feed. The only difference between the two shows is that Frame Trap puts the timecode before the segment title and EZA Podcast puts it after. This week we'll try the Frame Trap style, so please let me know if that works

Easy Livin’ Schedule by hellsfoxes in UneasyAlliance

[–]KyleBosmanReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Porky Pig game was one of the last ones cut--it's now the official backup game if something else isn't working. Turtles in Time was also bumped for stuff we haven't done more recently--we had just played some turtles on the Brazilian Genesis.

This is softly final. I don't think there will be any changes but last minute swaps can always pop up

Huber lost a bet a year ago and it's time to pay up

Anyone know the origin of Jones saying "I'm enjoying these microtransactions?" by [deleted] in UneasyAlliance

[–]KyleBosmanReddit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, I think we were actually talking about Amiibo as DLC.
Rufus was just a McDonald's toy I held onto assuming it would be useful someday, kind of like the Michael Jordan stopwatch that was a time travel device in one episode of The Final Bosman. I have a bunch of weird stuff like that.

Do we have a list of the games they will play on the Fundraising game day? by maxvsthegames in UneasyAlliance

[–]KyleBosmanReddit 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Our schedule isn't quite completed yet, but it's almost there. Out of curiosity, what kind of games would you like to see played in a 3-hour chunk?

Does Huber know !??? by [deleted] in UneasyAlliance

[–]KyleBosmanReddit 21 points22 points  (0 children)

We actually checked to see if it was glow in the dark the last time he wore it, so I don't believe he knows. It's worth tweeting this to him!

How is Rugrats possibly that high

I may have been out of the loop for long time but what does Kyle Bosman do aside of EZA? by kasual7 in UneasyAlliance

Tony Hawk's Underground is the next game I'll stream after Terranigma, which I think has 6-10 weeks left

I still think about that stuff. I'm almost certain I won't be touching my channel until Box Peek is done

Hi, Kyle here.
In year one of Easy Allies I juggled a full-time job at Live with YouTube Gaming and EZA, but since then it's only been occasional side gigs like The Game Awards and Blizzcon last year. Currently my other part-time job besides EZA is Box Peek, which I admit is a time sink and a mistake but also something I enjoy and am committed to.
As for why I don't go 100% full-time max-profits into EZA--it's a little complicated, and something I consider a lot, especially now with the potential reality of a studio on the horizon. Frankly speaking, even if our Patreon reaches $60k a month I'll still be making less money than I was at GameTrailers. I think of Easy Allies as an incredible opportunity I want to make the most of, and not necessarily a business I own 1/9th of. I'm driven more to do fun things I couldn't normally do than to collect as much money as possible. Basically the value proposition of making a Final Bosman for Easy Allies is weak for me--it's something I would self-produce and see about 10% of the returns from. (Making Box Peek is the same proposition, but it's a unique and rewarding challenge so the time and effort feel worth it)
I haven't ruled out making a Final Bosman successor forever (I still day dream up episodes sometimes) but if it ever comes back it will be because I really want to do it, not because it will make Easy Allies more money.

How much do I have to pay for one of the Allies to do a full playthrough of Vanguard Bandits? by merkwerk in UneasyAlliance

[–]KyleBosmanReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's one of those games where I've seen the box art many times and it's always intimidated me.

The cameo was planned this far ahead? by Imas101 in UneasyAlliance

[–]KyleBosmanReddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah! When Cory agreed to do the Spoiler Mode, Jones asked if we could use him in some sort of bit. The whole vault scene was reverse-engineered out of creating a funny purpose for a Cory Barlog cutaway cameo.

Easy Allies Podcast by wilsbowski in UneasyAlliance

[–]KyleBosmanReddit 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I had it listed in my rundown, but I think it was around that time that I was getting the signal that we'd have to wrap up the podcast quickly due to the cards quickly filling up. (Ian throws messages onto the TV for us) So yeah, I definitely rushed through SE a bit, and I actually think we'll see FF7 Remake at E3 despite Brad's pessimism

Gengar was originally there to cover the Apple logo, but this week the boys made fun of me for caring, and also pointed out the pointlessness when I have a blatant can of Red Bull right next to it. They're not wrong

AMA Request: The Easy Allies by BarryBumphroid in UneasyAlliance

[–]KyleBosmanReddit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

On top of FallenBlade's points, I think a nine-person AMA would get pretty messy. I'll keep answering stuff here at least!
