Good shout, hopefully they get a push to 40k tonight too.

Looking forward to seeing what it is.

Hardly the most astounding prediction in the world but good to be on top

Looking forward to it anyway, Keighley is great and hopefully Bosman's input will be like he is when he's by himself and not trying to be to pro about it.

Holy gooseberry fool, Brandon as Han Solo!



Also, Frame Trap this week was GREAT, particularly the hottake at the end. Ian

I haven't watched much of Frame trap, I just don't find it as enjoyable as the main podcast.

This fan made video of EZA's first year is amazing and fits the music perfectly! Excited for them in 2017, love EZA

Yes!

Ex-GameTrailers man Marcus Beer (aka Annoyed Gamer) has suffered a major heart attack and had to be put into a medically induced coma yesterday. A GoFundMe for his medical expenses has been started and has been promoted by Shane Satterfield, EZA Crew and others.

Hope he pulls through, I think he's barely in his 40's and just adopted a kid with his wife recently! Enjoyed his videos back in the day, horrible news and no age what-so-ever!

There's a new Don's Discount Gaming.

Been getting back into this again lately. By that I mean listening to the podcast and Frame Trap, and watching Don's Discount Gaming, which seems to have returned at the same time that I have. I still find Ian almost unbearable, and some of the others get a bit annoying in other ways - plus some other minor annoyances - but on the whole enjoying being back into it.

Just out of interest what do you find annoying?

I don't mind Ian. Tbh I don't find any of them annoying, which is only a good thing.

Only thing I don't like about Ian is his incessant use of the word 'like'. But at least he (and others) are trying to crack down on it as heard on last week's episode.

Ian - obnoxious, doesn't seem that knowledgable about what they're supposed to be talking about, constantly derails the conversation, always 'humble bragging' about things, very negative, doesn't listen and then makes stupid/irrelevant comments.
Kyle - sometimes can be a bit...silly. Don't mind him for the most part, but also don't get why everyone loves him so much.
Not a fan of their obsession with bets.
Not a fan of these little gimmicks to try and liven things up; prove it ticket, like potato, poison thumb, etc. Doesn't need any of that.
Constant repetition of little annoying things..."You're a subscriber now!" and "I just can't wait for the Switch!" being prime examples.

Huber trying to explain his cleaning diaper on the latest frame trap is priceless.

Yeah, was brilliant.

Best ending ever too, I don't wear the diapers! Queue laughing to end, brill.

Glad they are doing well and they've got past the one year mark, here's to many more!

That diaper gooseberry fool was amazing. The whole time he was talking I was wondering what the strawberry float he was on about and why everyone else didn't find this weird. Thankfully Brad finally said something.

They recently got voted the no.1 trusted site for reviews on opencritic which is a big coop for them. Seems like they've had a real Patreon bump too as they've bust 6k patrons and are currently at 42k a month

They have added a new top sponsor slot though which is going to make the podcast more of a pain in the arse to listen to. Wish they'd find another way to shill out, maybe sponsored content or something. They've also added a new tier for a film club and podcast which is a bit frustrating. This'll be their 4th podcast which is a bit dumb if you ask me and they really should focus on producing the stuff they've already promised like Game Sleuth and Retrospectives which are actually original shows rather than finding new ways to package 'bunch of guys talk about stuff'.

They're getting a lot of people upping their pledges and new pledges during their 12 hour live stream, it's been on for about 4-5 hours and when i knocked it of to go to bed they were make my some crazy woman character in Wrestlemania.

The EZA community is filled with some right lunatics. The gifts people send in are insane and getting more insane week by week it seems like.

You should see what they got Bosman this week and how much effort and money goes into it, it's so weird and culty. They really need to call time on the mania because the community is increasingly becoming this cliquey impenetrable bunch of weirdos and if they're not careful it's going to start putting people off.

Though I guess it depends how much of it is visible to casual viewers. I'm just waiting for vessels of blood to start being sent. If I was Brandon (or his wife ) I'd want this out of my house as soon as possible before fans start making pilgrimages.
