I can almost count this week’s questions on one hand! Today’s episode would have been pre-recorded if I was summoned for Jury Duty, so people may be saving their questions for next week. Ben is back from vacation, so expect to see him in a bunch of stuff soon like Spoiler Mode, Fast & Loose, and the triumphant return of Amateur Gundam Construction. I also had to skip Mass Effect last week to be at the studio for maintenance stuff, so I’m stoked to get back to that series as long as the Los Angeles Courthouse deems it worthy.

DISCLAIMER: I take questions from the post comments on the previous week’s episode here on Patreon. You can ask a business-related question which I may answer live, or a personal question which I may answer below. If your business question was not answered live, I either replied to it in the comments, or referenced the answer in a recent episode. Feel free to inquire why your question wasn't included, or ask the same question a second time if you think I may have missed it. I will edit your comment/question before reading it live to ensure the show moves as quickly as possible. I typically grab all the questions by midnight (PT) the night before each episode.

Hey Mr. Jones! As is often the case, because I always leave/post my submission the moment you hit the outro, I’m typically a week or so behind anything topical, and it’s true for this post, especially with the serious subject matter I wanted to ask. That being of course Mr. Moore’s Twitter getting hacked. And I can understand why you did not bring attention to it last week, but it still feels like a serious issue to be discussed. HOWEVER, if you feel my question shouldn’t be discussed, for ANY reason, PLEASE disregard this post and I’ll leave a new one for next week as I always do. As I feel I’m not the only one who had an avalanche of questions, and an even greater amount of concern, I wanted to reach out, but beyond the email address used for Frame Trap (And I refuse to send unsolicited emails outside of the intended purpose), I didn’t know what other way to do so, and as you stated in the text post, he was on vacation as well, so it would have been doubly as hard to contact him. Apologies for the multi-part question, but after whittling it down to these three, I couldn’t proceed any further. So here goes: First, and absolutely most importantly, how is he? With such a severe violation of privacy, the mind is left to wander what other risks he may have been exposed to, and I wanted to put it out there that myself and many others want to express support for him as he’s had to deal with this garbage. Second, until Twitter can actually get around to doing something about the situation, will he create a back-up account or rely on the main EZA Twitter if he needs to get anything out there? Since his activity before the hack didn’t show him tweet all too much, I don’t think it’s something he would do, but I thought I would ask. And lastly, and more broadly, how is the security for the rest of the Allies? This reminds me about E3 doxxing everyone and while I do believe this incident was only isolated to Mr. Moore, has this caused anyone else to cycle their protection to make sure everything will stay in each respective Ally’s control? To close, thanks for reading, and I want to repeat, please skip this if you feel it shouldn’t be addressed. Regardless, as always, I appreciate the time you choose to give me each week. Have a wonderful (and safe!) rest of your day! Cheers! QUESTION: Apologies for the three questions, but because of the serious nature, I couldn’t whittle it down any further: How is Mr. Moore doing with the violation of his privacy due to the Twitter hack, will he create a backup or rely on the main EZA account until Twitter can get around to get this fixed (if use Twitter at all), and is the security for the rest of the Allies holding strong?

Today's episode is why I tune in as often as I can. Love these editorials. And now for my question: On the recent Gundam stream Ben and Brad talked about games they or another ally got almost all the way through but got stuck in a spot or on a boss and never actually finished the game. They discussed an interest in helping that ally or having help through that part just to complete the game and I thought this would be a great stream or show idea. What do you think of this idea? I even thought of a Quote from Tony Stark that would be a great title: "We have to FINISH THIS!" Thanks for everything you and the other allies do to keep us entertained and informed. L&R Jessie

Hey Jones, Was thinking about the response to not having bits in the podcast and I totally think you should do you Jones. For the record, I have enjoyed your bits especially gaming gladiators. Was the first time I got anything on the podcast which was Corvo vs Adam Jensen. So I am in favor of bringing bits back and was wondering if it needs to be video game related or can be something random. For example, what did each ally eat for breakfast/lunch, what was the last video game they played, restaurant recommendations, or just patron submitted random facts. But if you just don't feel like doing bits I completely respect your decision and will be there for every podcast anyways. L&R, Cody.

Hey Jones! I'm sure you've already heard it but the Brad and Don food review show needs to be a thing! Give the people what they want! L&R

Hey Jones! Two quick ones: Someone brought up merch and I was wondering if you'd ever bring back the color options for shirts or if you just can't because of who you use now. I've wanted to get another shirt or two but I miss the options and didn't want a shirt in the color provided. Second, I was trying to learn perfect pitch once with a friend (he owns his own recording studio. I used to be a big music guy before video games). There's a course with David Lucas Burge. We never finished it but he goes over notes as colors as one of the lessons. For example, C is very brown, F# is red, etc. Obviously it's subjective but your editorial reminded me of that. Might be something fun for you to seek out if you're ever interested/bored. Anyway, L&R, ~Matt

About the shirt colors - it's just a different way that Rooster Teeth operates. Rather than having a full range of colors for different designs, we have to choose which color shirt to use. So we could have some additional colors, but we have to specifically request them. You can see the 70s shirt and EZA shirt both have color options. -Bloodworth

Hello Jones! You have stated that part of the reason you don't want to do "occasional" (I'm only using quotes because I can't think of a better word, not to dunk on you or be passive aggressive or anything) and/or one off content is because you want to avoid comments and questions asking when you will do that show again. So my question is, in your mind, what is the difference the current people asking for/suggesting new content, and the potential people asking for more of something that already exists?

Hey Jones. I know top 5's and favorites are always changing. I like engaging in those conversations just to see how much someone's list changes or stays the same throughout the year. So to put you on the spot, what is your top 5 favorite games at the moment in order. (Just to make you struggle a little bit) I recall asking this in a Q&A episode but some people ducked out (I won't say any names but I got a good laugh out of it)

Just wanted to say: I'm happy that you make the podcast your own Jones. I actually didn't realize that the starting bit is gone. I love the podcast. Some people think you are not funny? Haven't they seen the Puppet spectacular? People are weird. L&R Chris

Hi Jones. As of writing this question we're knee deep in the reactions to the Activision Blizzard allegations. There's more stories coming out all the time and I certainly don't expect anyone to make knee jerk reactions to it. However I am interested in if the Allie have discussed or made any decisions on the coverage of Activision Blizzard games going forward. A number of outlets have announced they won't be covering their games at all until meaningful changes are made. I can see both sides of the argument and I'm interested on where you guys fall on it.

Hey Jones! A couple podcasts ago during L&R yall talked about favorite main menus! You mentioned that you loved the Mass Effect main menu music playing before your stream, and then later you also brought up how the Spider-Man opening theme from the menu blew you away. Well boy do I have a coincidences to share with you! John Paesano, the composer of Spider-Man's score, actually worked on Mass Effect ANDROMEDA, (presumably before Spidey? Unclear.) so this same composer made a similar main menu track in the style of this epic space saga! I hope you'll listen, it's probably what I would have brought up for the best main menu question. Here's a link: https://youtu.be/vEqZ0d2QU_M (Track is called "A Better Beginning" if patreon has any link shenanigans.)

Hi Jones, I really loved seeing that toy with the jingles for each specific colour. These all fit amazingly well, though I feel like the melancholy tone really undersells blue. Blue is a pretty colour and it'd be a shame if it were solely represented by negative feelings because I feel it might have an adverse effect on children and not make them associate it with joy. Although I do agree that the arrangement of airy string instruments would be a nice fit for blue - maybe some motif akin to Korsakov's Sinbad and the Sea would be a better descriptor for blue. It's a very romantic, adventurous song, although it should come in some watered down form(pardon the pun). And on the subject of green! You compared the sound to 1940s vaudeville acts, but I actually think green has, for me, the coolest kind of sound. It uses Hammond organs and that sound is specifically tied to 60s instrumental rhythm & blues, jazz, and soul music, and because of this it sounds groovy, fresh and vital, just the way I like in my sixties music. If you need to see this kind of soundscape in action, look no further than Booker T's 1962 hit "Green Onions". It even has "green" in the title. You'll immediately understand where the inspiration came from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bpS-cOBK6Q Cheers!

Heya Jones, Yeah, probably. But I think we can work around it. But are EZA's dreams something sweet as a new millionaire, pre-packed and ready-to wear, or fat like a chocolate eclair?
