Just Dance 2019 on the Damned Wii while Interviewing the Voice of Black Cat from Spider-Man - Easy Update

 https://youtu.be/dNs8ZBjlIO0 

So they put out Just Dance 2019 on the WII!  The OG Wii not the Wii U.  Anyways, my friend Erica and I got together and played it while I interviewed her about being a super awesome actor.  Erica is the voice of Black Cat in Spider-Man and she's Futaba in Persona 5, and she was Barbie, like actual Barbie, and she's in Soulcalibur 6, so she's really cool.  ...

Frame Trap Early Access Will Be Later Than Normal

Hey allies,

I’ve been out this last half of the work week traveling for a preview event. Because of that, it’s been a little more difficult than it normally is to schedule Frame Trap. We’ll be shooting tomorrow afternoon after the Xbox event. The episode should still be up sometime Saturday evening for early access. Worst case scenario is it goes up Sunday morning for early access. The episode will be available to everyone on Monday at around the normal time. Sorry for the delay!

Cup of Jones - November 8, 2018 - Audio

As I post this, I'm going to walk Sophie and then crash BIG TIME. I've been going non-stop this week and I'm looking forward to getting some rest and then checking out some more potential studio locations tomorrow. I felt kind of scatterbrained during Cup of Jones and the Showcase, so apologies if I skipped over a question/comment or two accidentally. Lots of different business questions, a healthy chunk of personal questions, and an editorial regarding our old friends at Defy Media - it's a ful...

Cup of Jones - November 8th, 2018

The holiday season is in full swing, and there are not many Cups left in 2018. I really enjoy today's collection of questions. Lots of valid concerns across the board that I'm looking forward to discussing. I'll say this up front: we were $300 shy of the $50K goal this month, but the studio search goes on regardless. I'll go into a couple of reasons why, but the biggest is that we owe you all big changes here at EZA and a hiccup like this isn't going to get in the way. For today's editorial, in ...

Box Peek Episode 3!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMKIAGdk6II

A part of the joy in spending months and months on Box Peek is just letting everyone catch up with everything I've been sitting on for way too long. By the end of Episode 3 I feel like we're all on the same page as to what Box Peek is. Your third episode establishes the pattern--expectations for tone and visual style and where the story is going. From here out it...

Don't Skip - Castlevania: Rondo of Blood

Hey everyone!

For this Don't Skip, I decided to try something a little different. I VO'd and edited this one in the hopes of giving it a more personal touch. I'm certainly not as skilled as Brandon, Ian, or Don, but I hope the video is still enjoyable regardless. We may go back to the old format depending on what you think, but I believe it's important to try new things, even if those things are imperfect. Thanks for watching!!!

Cup of Jones - November 1, 2018 - Audio

I didn't have a lot of questions today, but Amanda crashed the stream and turned it into a two-and-a-half-hour episode anyway. We kick things off by re-capping all of the features that we posted at the end of October, and wrap things up with an editorial about how we handle review criticism and learn from strange projects. No break for me next week, so if you'd like to be a part of next Thursday's episode, leave a question on the video post (not this one). See you then!

Cup of Jones - November 1, 2018

After a two week absence, I'm back with a surprisingly short list of questions and a long list of features and events to talk about. We had a lot of stuff go up right at the end of the month that I hope you all enjoyed, with more on the way before the year is out. I'm a bit sad that my favorite spooky month has come to an end, but I'm ready to shift into the rest of the holiday season and wrap up 2018 with a bang.

Box Peek October Update

I guess it seems a bit silly to write one of these right in the middle of season one, but I promised monthly updates and I intend to deliver monthly updates!

Firstly, as always, thank you for your patience. It meant a lot to me to finally announce a release date and make a trailer for that release date and hit that release date with almost everything going okay.
