NEW VIDEO!! Derek's Weird Controller Collection | [SSFF]

Hey all! 

Happy holidays! So we ended up having a difficult time getting videos started up during this month. The Xbox One video is probably my favorite video that we've made ever, with the N-Gage Past Mortem being a close second, but unfortunately those videos are difficult to replicate quickly! Also, they take a bit of time to recover from. So this video is more of a chill video, going over some of Derek' s controller collection. 

For December, we are planning on having one more Delisted episode plus the Past Mortem on the Zeebo. We wanted to have those videos out sooner, but a couple of factors including shipping delays made us need to put those on the back burner during this month. We've been having a difficult time balancing so many different video ideas, topics, and formats, but I'm really happy with how this turned out.  

Derek and I are starting to realize that we want to continue to make longer videos, like in the 40 min + range, which is exciting! I'm also noticing that I personally enjoy watching long videos on YouTube. Kinda odd considering the idea of watching a 90 min movie gives me stress sweats, but I would love watching a 120 min + breakdown on that movie? Don't know how that works. It's becoming clear that we need to reshape our workflow to make longer, more comprehensive videos like the Xbone video possible to make without us crashing. 

So with that in mind, I wanted to give y'all the first heads up that we're going to make some changes to our channel and to our Patreon next year. One thing we're going to do is switch the Patreon from per video to monthly starting in January. (finally!) It's something many of you have been asking for a while, and I'm sorry it took us so long to get there! But it's finally happening once we get ourselves through December 😎

I don't think that all of our shorter form videos like Punching Weight or Delisted will go away. I think that they will be more comprehensive and entertaining than before! Our first experiment with a longer form Punching Weight is going to be a video covering every single commercially released Zeebo game. This is inspired partially by the N-Gage Punching Weight we did earlier this year, where we didn't end up covering as many games as I'd have liked due to time constraints. Honestly, I hope to do a pseudo remake of that video next year, but with every N-Gage game. I am excited! And then maybe I'll finally be free from cell phone based systems....

...Or maybe not. 

I'm going to put up a dedicated blog post later this month that lays out my thoughts on this more clearly, but I wanted to give you guys a heads up now. We appreciate you all!

Thanks,

Grace (& Derek)
