Community Showcase is a monthly stream hosted by Michael Damiani where $10 and up Patrons submit their comments and creations to be shown off to the community.
The streams originally started as Community Comments in May 2016 but evolved into Community Showcase in November 2017. Starting in June 2018, they began picking unique thumbnails from the community submissions.
History[]
Community Showcase originally began as Community Comments on May 3, 2016. The show allowed Patrons $10 and up to submit their comments to be read aloud live by Brandon Jones and featured edited footage by Jones as well.
Community Comments wrapped up on October 12, 2017 and turned into Community Showcase. The format changed to a conversational stream with Jones and a rotating Ally as he reads community comments and showcases creations submitted such as art, photos, music, audio, and 3-minute videos.
Starting in June 2018, they started picking a unique thumbnail for each Community Showcase from the art submitted each month. They also changed the naming convention to match when the showcase video goes rather live rather than be named for the previous month.
On February 7, 2019, Community Showcase debuted in The Studio with Michael Damiani.
On April 6, 2020, the Showcase shifted to streaming at home due to the global pandemic. Kyle Bosman made his final Showcase appearance in the first remote episode since they got The Studio.
Easy Allies officially returned to The Studio as a group on June 10, 2021. The date coincided with all of the Allies being fully vaccinated and COVID-cleared as well as the first day of E3. The July 2021 stream was the first Community Showcase back in The Studio which also featured the inaugural Studio guest, Michael Damiani.
On February 21, 2022, Brandon Jones announced on Cup of Jones and Twitter that he was taking a leave of absence from Easy Allies to support his family following his son, Milo being hospitalized. He revealed that his day-to-day involvement would be sporadic while productions like the Easy Allies Podcast and Community Showcase would be hosted by Bloodworth and Damiani, respectively.
It was revealed during EZX 2022 that Damiani was now the permanent host of the Community Showcase after Jones announced he was retiring from Easy Allies and games journalism. The final Community Showcase featuring Jones was held on May 2, 2022 and included numerous tributes and memories from both GameTrailers and Easy Allies.
