Bosmans punishment for a no show should have been a Drawn to death stream.

 

[Uno Venova]

EZA has lore deeper than some RPGs.

 

[Bahorel]

Bosmans punishment for a no show should have been a Drawn to death stream.

The no show punishment is not as bad as the low effort punishment imo but I'm so hoping someone gets voted as a low effort. I love the suffering.

I haven't made a shoebox diorama since I was 7 and I'm curious to see if anyone will go out with action figures and artificial moss and grass and painted backdrops etc

 

[Zomba13]

Who has the best Betsona? Benzilla is a strong candidate but I don't think you can beat Brand Manager. Rainy Day Ian is also pretty strong, has that jolly attitude and pink is always good.

Why? The game is gonna be good

 

[brandonh83]

Man looking at those "Simple" envelopes... really wish someone in EA were named Jack.

 

[jacobeid]

I love EZA so much haha.

Bosman made fun of it in one of his segments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhccG0dDHnc

and Jaffe didn't appreciate it. https://twitter.com/davidscottjaffe/status/799474062611267585

Jaffe calling someone else out for acting like a dick.

Hahahhahaha.

 

[Frozenprince]

Jaffe calling someone else out for acting like a dick.

Hahahhahaha.

You missed the best part where Shu said live on air that he loves Kyle when they got on him.

Best moment.

 

[Requeim]

Let's go Kyle. I want to see Bosman vs. Brad.

Jones easily had the best character, he was super funny.

Kyle had the best intro though, nobody does "crazy nutjob" like he does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYlj4rAjeog&t=242s

 

[LewieP]

Hahaha Jaffe is a baby and his game looks awful.

Jaffe moment at 18:45 and Shu moment at 42:20

Hahaha Jaffe is a baby and his game looks awful.

I agree, thin skin. But the game was a lot of fun to play at PSX.

 

[Revolutionary]

Hahaha Jaffe is a baby and his game looks awful.

The only babies here are the ones that are still bringing this up. It's been resolved.

[SinCityAssassin]

I loved it and Brand Manager is everything.

But why is Link as a girl still in question? Didn't Nintendo say some ridiculous things that confirm it as a hard no already?

It's mostly because the recent trailer with the woman (Probably Zelda. Probably) wearing the same sort of clothes as Link have some people theorizing that she's a female Link from this time period, considering he was in stasis for a century.

 

[Axass]

Yep, it's pretty much wrestling personas applied to bets.

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

That was both incredible and terrible at the same time. The commitment to each character was... admirable lol. I like the format they chose for dealing with a large group of contestants.

[Pandacon]

These betting specials are a nice companion to these big gaming events. Also the buildup of EZA lore is entertaining.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

His devil eyes show his unrepentantness.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Everytime Bosman does his creepy heel act, he looks so much like that old homeless Bosman-alike video it's like some self fulfilling time travel loop.

 

[Burt]

Bosmans punishment for a no show should have been a Drawn to death stream.

REVII full playthrough on his PSVR

 

[AAK]

This is an almost perfect Junkrat impersonation

 

[Fat4all]

Bosman is basically CM Punk.

Love this new Era.

This is the first I've heard of it. How was it resolved?

 

[Cess007]

EZA has lore deeper than some RPGs.

I love then shows do that. I loved the lore that the Miller Report brought to Videogamer.

 

[wiibomb]

Who has the best Betsona? Benzilla is a strong candidate but I don't think you can beat Brand Manager. Rainy Day Ian is also pretty strong, has that jolly attitude and pink is always good.

I still can't decide... I love so much the idea of Punished Huber...

but I think Brand Manager is the most genius one there... those palms are so greasy

 

[Joqu]

Great special. All these amazingly cheesey personas.... I love cheese.

Not gonna participate in the betting because it sounds like a pain to figure out afterwards but I am gonna guess that Kyle Bosman will be our winner. That's all.

 

[Fat4all]

I still can't decide... I love so much the idea of Punished Huber...

the fact that the visor is damaged just above his eye patch is the real kicker.

 

[Pernicious Panda]

EZA betting specials are always amazing. I really hope these guys get their studio goal this year.

 

[filly]

I was laughing the whole way through. I love these so much, they just keep getting better and better

 

[FunkyPajamas]

<3 Bossman. I love these guys.

 

[ElTorro]

EZA has lore deeper than some RPGs.

Heck, even Bosman's weekly Tetris stream has lore deeper than some RPGs.

 

[Tankard]

That was both incredible and terrible at the same time. The commitment to each character was... admirable lol. I like the format they chose for dealing with a large group of contestants.

Also because I don't think anyone else has posted it yet:

LOL.

 

[Par Score]

This was fantastic. These betting specials just keep getting better.

This is an almost perfect Junkrat impersonation

OMG yes.

 

[Prompto]

This is an almost perfect Junkrat impersonation

Can't unsee

 

[DoctorFling]

Also because I don't think anyone else has posted it yet:

Kyle looks kinda like Willem Dafoe when he does that face

 

[emb]

The rupee thing was still very unclear. They had the whole convo about it, but only talked about the counter. Never mentioned whether seeing a red rupee means 1 or 20.

The characters were a little over the top. Could have done without some of them laying it on so think. Brandon did great with it though, and Kyle can't help but be likable.

Anyway, might as well place some bets:
- Will the word "Metroid" be spoken? No. Sadly.
- Will Wario reveal himself? Yes. I expect to see him in a Kart or Smash game, could easily show up in Party or some other spinoff.
- Will the phrase "You're a kid now, you're a squid now" reveal itself? No.
- Will Wave Race be shown in any form? No.
- Will Waluigi speak? (This includes grunts, laughs, etc.) No. Will be visible at some point though.
- Will Link reveal HERSELF? No.

- How many Rupees will we see? 10 Edit: The more I think about it, the more I expect almost none of these. Doubt we'll get much time with Zelda, and what we get will probably be a trailer that's more cinematic than normal gameplay.
- How many Fire Flowers will appear? 3
- How many Switch games shown will star Mario? 3
- (The Elyse Special) How many Double Jumps? 14
- How many Switch clicks will we hear during the presentation? 10
- How many times will the phrase "Make the Switch" be said? 1.

- How many times will a word be spoken out loud that rhymes with the word "Switch"? 15 times. Of those, 2 will be used to actually rhyme with Switch in a phrase. (The word "which" is pretty common in unrelated use. I might have missed how this works though? Only half paid attention.)

EZA betting specials are always amazing. I really hope these guys get their studio goal this year.

I hope so too, as I think it would help a lot if they could get a nice studio similar to something Kinda Funny has. It would just make their videos look so much nicer to a casual viewer, but I'm not sure they will or not :-(

They haven't been able to hit it over the course of the whole first year. Maybe if they get some kind of major boost this year its possible
