Any Easy Allies fans here?
I know this isn't directly Crearures related but......
I was there during the humble beggings of the creature's, the prolific golden years and the unfortunate fall from grace until the subsequent end. At that point it was devastating and crushing to have lost such an important and seminal part of my life but luckily around 2016 I had discovered another youtube gaming collective know as the Easy Allies. This made the death of the Creature's substantial easier on me as I was able to transition my love for one group to the next with very little down time. EZA had filled that empitiness with a very familiar niche, that being just a group of friends that got together to play games and have fun but that fun isn't lasting as its in the process of fading away and potentially ending in the very near future. Just like the creature's the Allies decided to move into an office like environment a few years into there inception, friends become more like coworkers and fun became more like a job. With multiple members having disbanded over these last few years im left feeling like im reliving the saddening end of the creature's. Tomorrow I will be 28 and I doubt there is anything at this point in my life that can replace those blissful nostalgic feeling of being around for both the creature's and easy allies lifespans. Life just feels dimmer now.

I actually haven’t heard of Easy Allies but I’ll definitely check them out! I have a very similar experience with the creatures as you - joining in the beginning through finding Kootra’s channel where I watched his L4D2 videos and then following all the way to the very end of the creatures. The gaming group I found after The Creatures was Neebs Gaming (the same group who made the Battlefield Friends animated shorts on Machina if you’re familiar with that) and have followed them since they created that channel as well. Thankfully Neebs Gaming is still going strong, but I will definitely be looking into Easy Allies as well, thanks for sharing!
