3k, and Almost 1,000 Patrons

Well what a few days these have been.


I genuinely did not expect to ever hit that goal, and here we are at it already. I thought, at best, that the new video would be bring in another hundred or two dollars worth of pledges. I thought there were a few people that didn't know about the patreon. Turns out there were a...

New Patrons - Discord Color!

Please post your name on the Discord channel here so we can promote you.


Or if you're not a new patron but are missing your name still.


I might set up a bot to do it--Patreon has an official one--but for now let's do it this way.

No Early Access on Tomorrow's Video

This is a courtesy message that the video currently uploading won't have early viewing, didn't have the script posted, or credits at the end. It isn't a "real video" for the channel. One of its main goals is actually advertising the patreon, so it only makes sense not to make it exclusive. And putting the credits at the end does...

Early Viewing - Ringed City Review

As always: PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THIS LINK. THIS VIDEO WILL BE PRIVATE UNTIL 9-10 AM TOMORROW, JUNE 10TH.


We've had two videos so far without having to set up a mailing list. Which is good! If the link  gets "leaked" I'll have to publish to everyone and then hassle you all setting that up for next time.

Early Viewing - Little Nightmares, and the Importance of the Experience

PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THIS LINK UNTIL NOON TOMORROW. THIS VIDEO WILL BE PRIVATE UNTIL NOON ON JUNE 1ST


If anyone shares the link somewhere I'll have to collect email addresses and make a big viewing list. No one wants to have to do that because it'll be hassle for me and you. This simpler system worked well with BotW ...

Discord Server Early Access

Hello everyone. I have no idea how popular this is going to be but it was suggested by a couple of people: the channel now has a Discord server that I will be sitting in for at least a few hours most days. It's like a chat room and a vent/teamspeak/mumble combination.


The idea is to hang out and speak to people abou...

Zelda Video in About Five Hours

Update #1 -- It's 5:40 PM and the video is only at 43%. It can jump around a lot but it's not usually this slow. I can't do anything about this but I'll do another update at 8 PM. I might have to push the public release date to later on Saturday.


Update #2 -- It's 7:48 PM and we're at 60%. I think it might be my com...

So We Had a Baby

My wife and I welcomed our second child on Sunday afternoon. Boy number 2! I mention in the Q&As that we have a rule about the internet and information on the kids but maybe their names are okay at some point. One or two pictures wouldn't be too bad either.

My personal life leaks into my videos a bit too much for my liking...

Pledge Rewards Now Active... I think.

Hey everyone. I wanted to have the next video done before putting up the pledge rewards but I also want the Q&A reward to be a middle-of-the-month thing, so I'm out of time.


The current rewards will go into effect with The Last Guardian video--which is up next after Fallout 4. If you are at five dollars or above...

Fallout 4 One Year Later Script

I know a few of you might not follow me on twitter so I'm posting it here as well. In the future I'll format them for patreon but this one is so long that I think it's better to link to the blog post.

Fallout 4 and Upcoming Pledge Rewards

Hey everyone. As you can tell from the title of this post I have two big things to talk about. Before that though I want to say a huge thank you. The total amount of pledges has reached above 800 dollars. Usually there's some fluctuation, and I'm expecting the number might dip a bit after Christmas, but it's more or less a given...

Is there a way to embed the video here? There should be right? I might try doing that with this post so it might look weird.

18 - The Witcher Plans, and Some News

Hey everyone. So in case you missed it, I ran a poll in conjunction with the latest video to decide what the Next Big Project will be for the channel. It was The Witcher vs Mass Effect and Geralt won. By a tiny bit.

I wanted to lay down some of my plans for the games but first there's a few things I want to get into. T...

JosephAnderson post 17 - The Channel's First Year from patreon

My ms paint skills are pretty poor but I think the graph should be readable. I thought some of you might find that interesting.

Okay! So, that was pretty crazy. The view counter for the channel just ticked over to 1 million. 200,000 of that came in the past 3 days. Patreon hit 100 pledges. Subscribers is about to get t...

16 - Do you want Pledge Rewards?

Posting this to test how people feel about it. Feedback would be really useful.

I've thought about it off and on since I started the Patreon. I'm not adverse to the idea of making videos available a day early for people who are sending me money to make the video. I'd say anyone who pledges anything should get that, so ther...

The next (and final, hurrah!) Uncharted video will be out on Monday. I'm on the video part right now. It's going to be about 80 minutes long. I have a lot of work left to do but this is the part that I can sink a lot of hours in a row into.

I want to talk a little about that. The original idea in my head for Uncharted ...

14 - Finally Finished

The big Uncharted / Last of Us time is over. There were a few new pledges this week and a couple of people increased the amount they had before. Thank you--to everyone. I hope the video was worth all the time it took.

I'd say the average video length on the channel is somewhere around 30 minutes. So at over 3 hours lon...

#13 - The Situation

That's a pretty melodramatic title right there.

So you might be wondering why I haven't uploaded a video yet this month. I think I should explain what I've been doing.


I started working on the Dark Souls 3 script immediately after I finished with Bloodborne. I had to play the game a lot, and over the first week o...

#12 - The Plan for May

First off: April has been the best month for the channel yet, both in subscribers and here on Patreon. There was a big bump and the number that I keep looking at is the "patrons" nearing 50. I keep trying to imagine 50 people in a room and that is *a lot of people*. All of which think that my videos are worth some money. I know ...
