Evening all! Here's this month's Patroncast for you :)

Ha wow...actually just found this after about a week. Well I'm glad I got to listen to the first Patroncast. Definitely excited for the future of this. I hope it works out well enough that you can do it for the long term future. Good luck! Can't wait to see the videos you come up with!

You mentioned Amnesia... While I tend to agree with you about the horror genre, I heard it was pretty good and doesn't use jump scares, and it's free on Steam until sometime this Wednesday (9/16/2015), so I got it and figured I'd check it out.

I really hope that after a couple days, once the number of Patrons has leveled off again, you'll post something talking about how much your Patreon has grown after you actually mentioned it once. :)

I've been following you since Kotaku ran the article about your Fallout 3 Kill Everything run. I never knew you had a Patreon and even when other creators made Patreon accounts and promoted themselves, I was reluctant to join Patreon and contribute because even a small amount every month adds up. Also, I feel like if I contribute to one creator I follow, why are they any better or worth more to me than any other creator I follow? Then you said you had a Patreon account, and not only do I love watching your videos, I completely agree with the way you approached it and your views on it, even if maybe you did go a little too light on the Patreon promotion. You are the reason I joined Patreon. Congratulations on quitting your job and I hope this works out well for you.

I didn't realize you had a Patron account till today or I would have thrown my wallet at you sooner. This is exciting news! Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching. Cheers.

Congrats, really made up for you. One piece of advice from a former home worker: go out every day, even if it's only to the shops. Cabin fever creeps up really quickly.

The curious expedition devs are really responsive on their forum as well. One of the few Alpha games I've ever bought and that's why.

I love Jasper Fforde, still hoping for a sequel to the Nursery Crimes books. Need to reread Thursday Next at some point. Have you ever been to a Fforde Fiesta? (I saw a copy of one of his books in your first video and got very excited (Hopefully that doesn't sound too stalkery)).

So pumped that you're going full time! And make sure you remember to mention that you have a patreon in the future! I had no idea until the full time announcement that you had one.

Or even just adding the patreon symbol to things :)

I think you're the only youtuber i would enjoy watching play a shooter. Look forward to you getting over excited and the occassional 'oh gosh ive been shot in the head...'

Yes, actually - we've got the YouTube subs for it, so it should hopefully be a formality.

What is, undoubtedly, the best, one and only flavour worth eating of monster munch?
But seriously. I've tweeted at you a few times but your PC is going to cost a lot less because you don't need to pay VAT as you are now a business. You can claim that back. That's a good 17.5% less costs.

Wales has awesome history - and great mythology too, plus an amazing language, but we weren't formally taught any of it, and I doubt anybody outside Wales is.

Damn the more important nations. Doesn't anyone care about how the Welsh started the Industrial Age? *Sarcasm about Welsh Importance of course*

Not so much - because education is partially devolved and schools have freedom to a degree of what history they teach, Welsh history is mostly only taught in Wales - I had a very English and other European nation focused history taught to me.

Enjoying your work for almost a year now. A question (best for next time) I have is, how familiar are you with the Welsh and its culture/history? I know that outside the UK, many people know of Wales but little about its contribution to Great Britain. Do they teach more about the Kingdom in English education?

There's a special place in my heart for the Medea story too - for anybody who shows up on a dragon chariot to gloat over her enemies, really.

The Iliad is awesome--I love that story. I would so very much love to see more ancient culture/mythology related games.
Thank you for being such a polite YouTuber, to both developers and viewers! You're awesome, Jon!
