Choose What We Stream On New Show Plus!
Added 2025-02-03 19:50:47 +0000 UTCEvery week New Show Plus lets supporters at the Backstage Pass tier on Patreon vote to choose a new show for us to create, or to continue an older show from a previous week. If you missed the reveal, you can learn more about the format in this quick video.
This week we're trying a little something new. Certain shows like Thirst Council have so much heat behind them that they're hard to dethrone, but should they even be dethroned if the community is enjoying them? We're gonna see what happens if we split this power player into two variations. Will it split the vote in favor of the new shows, or just give the frontrunner two chances at winning? Remember you can vote for multiple options, so make your voice heard either way! Let us know what you think of this idea in the comments or in the Discord, and thanks to McGreevy for help brainstorming in the Backstage Pass chat!
So check out your options below, and vote to choose the next episode we create for New Show Plus airing Tuesday on Twitch!
Video Game History Expedition - The Video Game History Foundation just launched their incredible Digital Archive and we could peruse the massive collection of old magazines, press videos and more, taking suggestions from the chat for keywords to search through this unbelievable vault.
Peer Review: Giant Bomb - We'd pick a fellow games enthusiast outlet and react to an hour of their content, giving comments and critiques as much as we're comfortable with, starting this week with Giant Bomb!
Thirst Council: Pokémon Edition - Here's a direction for Thirst Council: no more filler, just confusing cartoon beasts. The community would submit the best and most challenging Pokémon to evaluate by hotness.
Thirst Council: Just Their Voice - For a sharper turn from the Thirst Council we know and love, we could try finding hotness rankings based only on the character's voice. Thanks to Aging_Poorly in the Discord for the idea!
Choose wisely, and may the best show win! Remember you can vote on multiple shows if there are a few you're interested in, and the winner will be back on the poll next week for a potential follow-up episode! Don’t be bummed if your choice doesn’t win the poll, if we hit our New Show Overflow sub goal on Twitch we revive a rejected show for a fun one-off!
We’ll be going live at noon Central on Tuesday, so we’ll see you on Twitch. Feel free to shoot a sub on Twitch our way (you have a free one with Amazon Prime) and you’ll get us one step closer to reviving a rejected idea for New Show Overflow.
