New Video, New Topic, & Grad School!

Hey Patrons! Thanks for your continued support. Here is everything new from me this week.

New Video Coming Soon - Sony's 3 Biggest Mistakes

This episode came in 2nd place when we voted on topics a few months ago. Mario Paint won, so that got made first. But I figured why not make this one too? 

I've got everything researched, written, and filmed. Just doing the edit now and it shouldn't take long. I'd imagine you will see this video next week! I want to get it out before grad school starts. Speaking of...

Grad School. Uh oh!

In about 2 weeks, I will start grad school. I'm nervously excited about it. The biggest question mark for me is about this Patreon. By September, I should have a general idea of what my workload will be like. And then I'll have to make a decision. 

Since 2015, I've been working on this show full-time. So having a Patreon that charged per-month made sense. But with grad school, I'm not sure if I can work on the show full-time. My first idea was to switch the Patreon to "per creation." That way, you only get charged when I make a video. But after talking with support, they don't allow you to switch to that once you are already established. 

So the only other option is to shut down the Patreon. Again, I hope that I don't have to do that. But I wouldn't feel right charging people per month if I can't commit to working on the show full time. Not sure what else to do, but if you have suggestions, let me know in the comments. 

Also, grad school doesn't mean the show is ending. But it might mean episodes will be further apart.

New Topic! Mega Man on PC

If you can believe it, Mega Man was released on the PC back in 1990! In 1992, there was Mega Man III (nothing to do with the NES Mega Man III). In 1995, Mega Man X was ported to the PC. 

I've always been curious about these games and I had a chance to interview the creators a few days ago. It was an interesting story and this should be the video for September. Stay tuned for more info.

That's it from me this week. Have a great weekend!
