Cup of Jones - March 9, 2020 - Audio (Patreon)

This past weekend we made the tough call to cancel EZX. That didn’t give you patrons a lot of time to bring questions to this episode, but we do have a few comments addressing it. I’d also like to do an Editorial about the cancellation process (at the beginning of the episode instead of at the end) and share some personal thoughts on the difficult decision. You’ll also notice things look a little different today on Cup, and I’ll explain why.

DISCLAIMER: I take questions for each Cup of Jones episode from the original video post. Questions from this audio-only post will not be used in future episodes. The video version is typically posted just before this one, so scroll down our Patreon page to find it.


PERSONAL QUESTIONS

SPONGEJAY1 - Given your love of things such as Batman and Star Wars, I'm curious if you have a dream developer/property combo in your head that you've always wanted to happen. Doesn't matter how outlandish it seems, if you've always wanted to see it, I'm curious what it would be. Personally, I've always thought it would be cool to see Criterion (if they still have their Burnout spirit) make a Wacky Races game or I.O. Interactive (the Hitman devs) to get the John Wick license. JONES - I’d love for DICE to move away from Star Wars after they get their fill and focus on a multiplayer-focused game based on the James Bond franchise. All the Bonds, all the villains, all the locations, all the guns.

ALI SALEMI - TRIVIA: Where does the phrase "Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series" originate from? JONES - You labeled this as “easy” but I have no idea. I have definitely seen that sentence somewhere before, but nothing is coming to me at the moment.

MORGAN MOHALLA - Are you a fan of George R.R. Martin's other works? Most of his more popular works pertain to "A song of Ice and Fire" and I have found the satellite material just as well written and entertaining. Recently though, I picked up "Dreamsongs” as an audio-book on Audible and have been enjoying it immensely. It is a collection of short, sci-fi and fan fiction stories from George R.R. Martin's early years as a writer. The stories are brief, but have a lasting impact. More than a few are narrated by the late Roy Dotrice as well. It is about 56 hours of content and just thought I would make the recommendation if you had time for listening while you work. JONES - I’ve dabbled in the extra Westeros stuff a bit, and I’ve also read Fevre Dream, his novel about vampires in the southern states of America during the 1800s.
