Cup of Jones - March 2, 2020 - Audio (Patreon)

Today’s episode should be on the shorter side. Only 1 takeaway (so far) and all of the posts from our Patrons are questions rather than suggestions. So there are less items for me to take to the rest of the team, and more inquiries as to how we handle our business, and how we plan to handle events this spring. Three of your raised concerns over COVID-19 (aka the coronavirus) and EZX, and I’ll handle that right at the top of the episode. Short answer is we’re still going forward with our 4th anniversary event, but it’s an important topic to discuss.

PERSONAL QUESTIONS

ALI SALEMI - TRIVIA Question: Who and what game is this quote from: "The monster never dies no matter how many times you kill it. It just sheds its skin and changes form. I can feel the weight of the world pushing me down, I try to carry it nonetheless. One last time, then I can rest." JONES - Bigby? From The Wolf Among Us? I never finished that game and don’t recognize the quote.

OLF HIMSELF - What's your take on this High Republic stuff? Personally I'm really excited! I recently listened to the audio play "Dooku: Jedi Lost" and the pre-Phantom Menace world is really interesting. JONES - I’m curious. I don’t have a ton of time to absorb material outside of shows and movies, and if I did I’m not sure if I would invest that in more Star Wars. So I’m waiting to see what people have to say about it before making that call. If I’m going to make the effort, I would want it to feel very, very different from the world we’re already used to. I felt the world in the KOTOR games was fun to explore, but it felt extremely familiar to me.

KARL WILLIAMS - Thoughts on Bob Chapek replacing Bob Iger as CEO of Disney? JONES - Considering Chapek is currently the one in charge of theme parks, I’m excited. I think large-scale interactive entertainment is the logical place for the company to focus their attention.
