Posting Upload Lists?

So lately I've started to make public posts on Youtube to list everything I uploaded that week, which seems to be useful for a lot of people who don't see everything in their subscriptions / notifications.


The question is, should I post it here on Patreon as well? Or should I post every individual link to a newly uploaded video here?


I think the extra notification or sort of upload log can be a good thing but I don't want to spam everyone's inbox with a bunch of lin...

Patron Giveaway! (Everything Taken Now)

First one to call dibs on one of the things in the video gets it. One item per person only. [UPDATE: All done already!]


Sorry for the abrupt start and end of the video, I originally had this part in today's video about the knife sale but then I realized it would be pointless to tease non-patrons with this. :)

Ideas for Rewards?

I just deleted the $50 reward because I've been struggling to keep up with the calls and want to avoid new slots being taken. 


However, I'd like to replace it with something else. Does anyone have ideas for rewards? Obviously you already pledged so I can't ask what kind of reward might make you consider it, but imagine for a moment you hadn't. :)


What would you find worthwhile?

New Design in my Teespring Store

The new shirt design I've been working on is finished. It's not as  professional as what a more skilled artist could produce but I'm pretty  happy with how it turned out. 

Also there is a New Year sale on Spreadshirt, 18% off with this coupon code: NEW18

It's valid from January 8th to January 12th.

Thank you

Hey folks,


Since there have been a number of new patrons recently I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone for the support.


Every pledge makes a difference and helps to acquire new material for videos. It's also comforting to know that there is another source of income in case the recent tendency for demonetization on Youtube becomes worse in the future.


By the way, if you have any ideas for new rewards, let me know.

Armor project - Where we're at currently

Just wanted to give you a quick update on the armor project, also for the new Patreons who have pledged recently.

Right now all the funding goes toward a suit of 16th century armor, which is going to be made by the master armorer Jeffrey Hildebrandt at Royal Oak Armoury in Canada. 

I've paid deposit and am on his waiting list. From now it's going to be about 8 months until he can start working on the armor. A suit like this would have been worn by a German Landsknecht officer. Highl...

Annoying delay with the ballistic gel

So today I realized that it has been a month since I ordered the ballistic gel. Logged in my account, found that the order status is still on "not processed".  WTF?

I sent an e-mail to the store (crimesciences.com), and hopefully that will wake them up. At least they haven't charged my credit card either. If there is no response soon I'll order it elsewhere.

Gaming with you folks?

I suddenly had the idea "why not play some games with my Patreon supporters?" Is that something you might be interested in?

Lately I've been playing mostly 7 Days to Die and Unturned, but there are other options as well (Creativerse, Life is Feudal, Fistful of Frags, War of the Roses, for instance).


Let me know.
