So i had no idea but these guys are all back. I remember seeing the threads about it getting closed and how we were all sad. So i figured i would let some of you know. They are back as a group called Easy Allies. They are just on Twitch or Youtube so far. They have everyone and will continue doing all their old shows, just under a new name.
>>332728089
bump
Is Pop Fiction still dead? This is important.
Obvious April Fools joke
>>332728383
They say they are up for any of their old shows to be back. Be it Huber, or Final bosman. Just figured someone would appreciate knowing about them being back together
>>332728495
If you dont believe it, just go and look for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXrab4xqyvg
I found out about this yesterday, their content is pretty good so far
I just hope someone else finds out and is happy about it.
>>332728973
we have known about this for at least 2 weeks. They are one Patreon goal away from going full time and getting a new studio.
for the record bossman is doing a show virtually identical to final bosman, its just on his own channel rather than the main youtube one

>GT is back.
>Patreon.
>All their previous content is copyright of their previous owner.
>Half their personalities are shit.
>>332729054
sadly they never will reach that goal, chances are the patreon will go down a considerable amount after the first donations due to alot of high paying patrons that cant possibly afford to pay every month (even brandon said that in regards to all the $500 ones)
they will probably have around $28,000 when all is said and done, which is great and enough for a few to do full time but still they wont reach that $50,000 goal.
I just finished watching the second episode of the podcast. I think it's actually better than GT Time. Everything's just chill now they're independent.
Ben's livestream of Dragon Quest Builders was also comfy as fuck. I really hope that game cones to the West.
>>332729212
the only one who's shit is ian
>>332729212
>>Half their personalities are shit.
Ian is the onl one
kyle is charming
huber is hype
ben and brad are good weebs
brandon is a bro
and domiani isclever
>>332729321
Oh im sure the cash flow will dry up, but im still glad they all got back together. Even if its not as often or the same quality, im glad i have a place for reviews again.

>>332730064
Brandon Jones was the gt reviewer man right?
>>332730064
I dunno. i would personally move Jones up to great. I might not like disney infinity, but that man was so dedicated to what he liked. Other then that, perfect list. Fuck Ian
>>332730064
why so much hate on ian anon?
>>332730219
He isnt funny, Mandatory Update was fine, but it was Elise that carried that show.
>>332730314
is that all? i didn't know these guys were suppose to be comedians
Ian is funny when bickering with the rest of the staff.
>>332728668
but do they have a giant room filled with shovelwre from the past 2 gens?
>>332728089
Damn this is a big whoop, thanks anon
>>332730796
Damn right, this is no little whoop
>Bosman is doing it on his own channel >>332729212
Why..
>>332730917
He is trying to market himself as a business. He is still part of Easy Allies though.
>>332729329
Something I never really appreciated until it was gone was how good of a podcast host Bosman is. You listen to fucking any other vidya podcast and they all ramble, talk over each other, cut everyone off and/or stay on topics for way too long while Bosman switches topics at good times, makes people explain things clearly, controls the flow of the conversation well etc.
>>332730764
I bet one of them does. They were able to go through the library and take what they wanted. So i bet someone just took all the leftovers.
I'm watching their new D&D series they just started up. It's cozy as hell. Ben is a great Dungeon Master.
>>332730917
His reasoning was since EZA still isn't a full time job, he doesn't want to be in a position where he won't be able to consistently write and deliver episodes if/when he does find employment, and thus make patrons feel like they're giving money for something they're not getting. By putting it on his own channel he's making it clear it's something he does when he can, though I believe they said they'd also host it on the EZA channel in a playlist.
>>332731312

I love Bossman
>>332731583
Nothing more was needed. We knew everything about the man.

>HE WAS PUNCHED TO DEATH.
>>332731583

I'm pretty hyped for Kyle's character though.
>60 year old man is the only one that gets through the dex check.
I think /v/'s love for Bosman pretty much cements the fact that as long as your self-deprecating, /v/ will like you.

Alternatively, he's just an amiable guy with fun opinion pieces.
>>332732340
Naw that couldnt be it.

Next you'll say Katie's and Ronnie's comics are actually funny or something.

"I'm the coolest dude with the most video game knowledge on the internet" -Kyle Bosman
>>332732785
Wouldn't know anything about that.
I just like Kyle Bosman.
Pretty obnoxious to tell other people what their opinions are and why they hold them.
But you likely know that and just don't care.
>>332730447
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdueLFEoJiY
Watch this. This is the first episode of Ian's new show. If you don't understand why people hate Ian and his stupid show after watching this I don't know what to say to you that will change your mind.
>their livestreams have almost all been worthwhile so far
>first podcast was as good as I expected.
>patreon support is apparently doing above average
>the guy that made those Mario Maker videos is showing up next month.
couldn't be happier.
>>332733150
Still pisses me off that there are two episodes of Don's design lab that are tied to GT and can't see the light of day for legal reasons.
His Trials levels are GOAT.
>>332733078
I still think Ian should just go make his movies and get away from the game industry. He would be fine at movies.
I've never watched or played D&D bit I watched their first episode on a whim and I fucking love it.
>>332730219
Ian is a literal SJW San fran hipster
He's a pretty chill guy when he isn't talking about social justice or feminism shit which is 90% of the time outside of his own videos where he has total freedom
>>332733150
Mario Maker guy (Don) was in the group stream this week
Speaking of, I'm OK with the individual streams but it would be nice if they could get at least one other person with them sometimes. I dunno how far away they each live from each other but having Ben + Brad or Bosman + anyone or whatever would be nice.
>>332733460
Brandon and Blood were on a stream last night. So they still get together atleast.
>>332730064
Brad and Don don't really show much personality so they deserve the good tier.
Brandon is a great guy though, should promote him. Ben has been outstanding, I think his opinions on games fit /v/ the most.
>Bloodworth

I can't wait for today's podcast.
>>332733742
>Huber
>>332731350
>Kyle Bosman is GTs most promising contributor
>Most wanted content is on his personal account
He's being smart at making sure he can break off on his own if EasyAllies turns into a cringefest of forced huber hypes and Ian being Ian.
WHERE'S /v/ HOMEBOY AT?
>>332733078
While this video wasn't particularly enjoyable I can't seem to "hate" ian just of this one video. it is simply not enough to hate this guy. he is just doing his own thing, wasn't being offensive at all.
I don't know man, either you picked a weak example or you have this high school mentality where you pick this one guy out of the group because he looks like he doesn't fit in with the rest of the guys
>>332734981
Its the fact that everything he does is like that. Its just so different from the rest of the group.
When is the Dorito Pope coming back then? He was literally the only reason I ever watched GT.
>>332735156
Never. he is with spike tv.
also he has his own awards show.
>>332735156
He has been a free agent doing his own thing for years now. He has never really been part of GT. Just of their TV show and random conventions.
>>332734981
His virtue signaling is cringy, he's constantly making sure everyone knows he's "a nice guy" with SJW-friendly bent.
Funny enough is he's the one most likely to say something rude or off color. I remember everyone freaking out once during GT Time when he made a joke about someone who had died like that same day.
Guy seems to reference being in a permanent friend zone so he pretty much fits the nu-male stereotype. Elyse carried that show and without her to keep him under control he's liable to turn into a cringe machine.
>>332735156
The pope does shit for Youtube Gaming now.
>>332730064
RIP in Piece Waifu Tier:
Elise
>>332734981
when he was still doing manups (post Elyse) people complained that the show was too long and full of nothing (this was around the time where the start of every episode was "Oh well, I didn't do any work for this episode either. Let's just wing it.") and so instead of taking that criticism on he filmed the show like he always did but sped it up 1.5X. This resulted in a show NO ONE liked instead of one that people still liked, but would have rather it being edited down.
>>332735747
I thought the first video at 1.5X was funny. But then i noticed it was a thing he was literally doing. It was bad.
>>332734142
>Brandon Jones
>>332734562
From what people have murmured about him IRL he's got serious anxiety and depression issues. He's keeping his stuff separate because he might take too much spotlight from his friends over on the EZA channel and they'll end up hating him for it.
>>332736298
What I heard was that he was so anxious about the quality of Not-Final Bosman possibly affecting the Patreon he decided to make it separate and free rather than face the possibility of failure.
>>332736298
I believe the first part but not the second.
>>332736298
I can believe this as well.
Haven't watched GT in years, thought they where spastic fucks. Went back to watch some after /v/ wouldn't shut the fuck about how great they are when it got announced they were done. They got fucking worse
>>332736617
How about going into specifics you fucking dingus. What show did you watch
>>332736298
>You'll never be friends with Kyle Bosman
>He'll never call you in the middle of something important so you can come over and play random video games that nobody cares about from the 6th and 7th generation.
>>332736467
That actually sounds more in line with the first part of my post. Bit of clouded judgement on my part, whoops.
What it boils down to is that Bosman has personal demons to sort out, and that's why it's not on the EZA channel.For real though I'd just like to see people who aren't shit get some kind of credit in this tire fire of an industry.
>>332736759
My god, i just wanna play the first 15 minutes.
>>332735281
It's funny how Ian and Kyle are the only single dudes on the crew.
Kyle makes sense cause he has his own issues and I bet he's beta ie: this miitomo he made
Ian is just a SJW faggot who I bet scares women away with his shit.
So was the Bosman at home bonus bit a one off thing or was the speech at the end about him not having the resources to do it anymore just sarcasm?
>>332737046
Probably a joke. Self-depreciating humor is a mainstay of his comedy. See >>332729329
>>332737046
>at the end about him not having the resources to do it anymore just sarcasm?
I felt like he was saying he won't be doing serious bonus bits, like that entire fucking storyline about Liquid Bosman and the like.
>>332737023
Damn, I wish I could add Kyle on miitomo.
>>332737230
Liquid Bosman is owned by Defy Media.
>>332733218
His 20 minute video where he goes through his thought process when making the level is amazing
>>332736670
Final Bossman, some of the E3 coverage, listened to the pod cast

>>332731106
Yeah, I realized how much I enjoyed the podcast after GT shutdown.
>>332737721
My god, ive never seen this and im only 4 minutes in and im good. Like i dont need to see more. I enjoy just how real that man is.
>>332737721
This is great, I watched the whole thing earlier. Nearly made me tear up.

>>332737721
>only 2,3% of total viewers of this show stick around for these bonus bits we do at the end. Sometimes we put a lot of work into these, but now there's barely anyone watching right now.
>>332741014
Their patreon is got funded to like 34,000 dolla or something a month within hours of the announcement. I think they'll be okay.
>>332741404
And then there's the Twitch subscribers, though I don't know if there are metrics about tose,
What's the story behind the smudge on the wall?
>>332741572
It's a smudge. Instead of cleaning it he incorporated it into a storyline. ta-da.
>>332741451
twitch subscribers aren't likely to bring in that much more money
maybe 2k tops due to how much twitch is taking
>>332741193
highly doubt that was actually true, that was just relating to the episode about how many people actually finish their games on psn
