After years of creating entertainment together online for a specially devoted and enthusiastic audience, the goal of Easy Allies is to keep the party going as long as possible.After closing doors elsewhere, we’re opening new ones here at Patreon. To start, we're shooting a weekly podcast and streaming each weekday, with group streams on Tuesdays. If you want to see us do more than that, this is the place to support us.

We are Brandon Jones, Daniel Bloodworth, Kyle Bosman, Mike Huber, Ian Hinck, Ben Moore, Brad Ellis, Don Casanova, and Michael Damiani. As the name implies, we want to work with everyone. The more support we get, the more we can meet up with special guests and partners. Your donations will go directly into making our stuff bigger and better, along with giving you early or exclusive access to shows. You might get a question answered, a comment highlighted, or a starring role in one of our ongoing series.

Our milestone goals represent our previous production capabilities. We want to bring back shows for Huber, Ben, Ian, and Damiani. We want to review games again. One day we hope to get back on our own stage and produce weekly gaming talk shows and epic event coverage.

Subscriber Song - $200 per month
The New Couch - $800 per month
Production Equipment - $1,000 per month
A Respectable Gaming PC - $2,000 per month
Mike Huber’s New Show - $4,000 per month
The Return of our D & D Adventure - $6,000 per month
Ian Hinck’s New Show - $8,000 per month
A Second Podcast - $10,000 per month
Reviews Reborn - $15,000 per month
Michael Damiani’s New Show - $20,000 per month
The Return of Retrospectives - $30,000 per month
A New Stage - $50,000 per month

Easy Allies does not employ any of us full time, yet. But its size and reach is completely up to you. If you remember the type of stuff we used to produce, you can get a good idea of what we’ll be capable of at each milestone we reach. Thank you for stopping by, and we hope you’ll consider becoming an Easy Ally.


They're back! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

EasyAllies, not the best name they could have come up with but a nod to their work over the past 18 months

It's basically the whole gang back and maybe Damiani too! Will be interesting to see if they can sustain it, the fact it's not their sole means of income is probably a good thing.

I'll chuck them a fiver a month which they're overdue from me Hopefully they can get a good amount though I think the upper reaches are unattainable without a big backer. They should probably reorganize those goals though, Hubers new show should not be a priority, if they put Damiani and Retrospectives at a lower level they may have more chance of pushing some people to pay earlier.

Take a look at @KyleBosman's Tweet: https://twitter.com/KyleBosman/status/7 ... 51168?s=09

Sounds like he'll be doing the podcast and a few streams with EasyAlliance. The follow up to The Final Bosman possibly on his own channel?

I wonder how the streams will work with people all over the place. I must admit I lost interest quite quickly with those that have happened in between because the production of the GT ones were so good it was like watching a casual tv show. When it's just a poor quality games stream with ad hoc comments from someone in a tiny box in the corner of the screen it loses a lot of appeal.

Might be worth updating the thread title so people know if they want to support the new venture.

Pledged €10 because these guys are awesome.

Wow, really didn't think they would get so high so quickly. I'm sure the promotion from Rushy and Shuhei Yoshida didn't hinder them. Good that they've got a bit of steam behind it, hopefully it can reach to Damiani's involvement and more Retrospectives, which everyone on here loved.

Pledged my support, considered going up to $20 but really want to see how it turns out first. My current pledge is just back payments.

Yay, glad for these guys. I'm going to back either $10 or $20 love their output and didn't think I would when Satterfield, Beer et all left GT, but then they became my faves.

Subscribed to their new youtube, looking forward to their return. It'd be great if they can get to E3 and do their thing as a way of sticking two fingers up to their former employers.

Only just seen their Patreon Video after subscribing, total gold. Great to see and have them back!



Nice little Damiani reference at the end.

Wow 21k!

A real positive early boost for the guys even if it tails off a little. The video is good, Ian's initial 'ugh' followed by Bosman waking up in the street is perfect. A little surprised Ian is involved to be honest.

They're up to 26k pm in under 24 hours. Great to see them getting so much support. They should reach 30k by the end of the week. Will be amazing if they get to 50k before any tailoff begins but I don't think it'll happen unfortunately.

I think it's only $5 and above, great to have the guys back and good episode. Love the chiptune music intro and outro, the safe noise has been upgraded :lol:

Yeah the intro music is quality.

That reading the names at the end is going to become aby of a pain in the arse too. When I saw it I thought it seemed like a dumb excercise. I guess they really didn't expect to get as many backers as they have.

31k now too so Retrospectives are coming back! I hope they can push out some real high quality stuff and maintain the steady income up to E3 where hopefully they'll get another boost to push them to 50k and a studio.
