Earlier today we set up a new poll over on our YouTube community page featuring five match-ups that have been cropping up a lot here on the Patreon. The aim of this new 'Hive Mind' poll is just to get a snapshot of what fans think of a bunch of match up ideas. A win doesn't mean a match up will be made, whilst a loss doesn't mean an idea is in the trash. We think all five of these ideas have real potential. :)
We were just gonna conduct the poll on YouTube, but it's always interesting t...

Hola! Just want to give all our writer and director tier patrons a quick update on a few battles we are working on right now. So, if you don't like to know that sort of stuff, then maybe don't read this post any further! :)
The situation with Coronavirus has severely limited our ability to meet up with each other in person. But, we have been researching, writing and recording over the last few months. Some of you have attended our Discord chats will already know but for those of y...

Hello and welcome back to another round of #MakeThisBattle. I’m Nice Peter, I’ve got a chocolate chip stuck to my foot, and I’m happy to be back in the hot seat. In the words of Keemstar, whose voice plagues my mind, let’s get right into it.
He-Man vs Barbie [submitted by Padsdemic]
I mean, right of the top, this is amazing. This battle would be awesome, so many jokes, so many funny gender things. He-Man is so outrageous, Barbie i...

Lloyd has been invited to perform on an online quiz show tonight at 6pm PT. The show is called UJOKES. It will feature Lloyd alongside Eliza Skinner (from Adam Ruins Everything) plus the audience. Its all based around the concept of coming up with jokes, so it should be a fun event. If you like a gag, or like the idea of creating jokes please tune in.
You can watch live on YouTube at https://www.youtube....

The results are in for last months quiz! Two lucky / skilful folks are winning stuff.
The highest scorers were Eoghan and JustGamer who were both tied on 11. So the tiebreaker question came into play - Eoghan picked 333 and JustGamer picked 880.
The number Lloyd was holding up was 205, so Eoghan was closest on the tiebreaker and he wins the Star Wars helmet. It's the luck o'the Irish! Commiserations to JustGamer.
Big shout out to......

What got you into video editing in the first place? [submitted by Evan Powell]
The first time video effects or editing piqued my interest was watching "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" as a kid. They had a sketch where Colin Mochrie would act as a news reporter in front of a green screen, and he'd have to guess where he was based on the ...

Roald Dahl vs Hugh Hefner [submitted by Padsdemic]
Hugh Hefner is a must for me at some point. James Bond vs Hefner was a big player back in the day but we covered Bond with Powers, so I'm not sure who the right match for him would be now. I don't think it's Roald Dahl. But I ...

Ash Williams vs Ellen Ripley (submitted by Tony Rigatoni)
I actually really love this. Not sure if it's because of the match-up or just because of how dope these two characters are. They seem like the perfect combo for one another as both of them kick so ...

Thank you to everyone who took part in last months quiz. We can now reveal the full answers plus confirm the various prize winners. It was another very tight finish with three patrons tied for top spot: BTTF, Zak Allen and Bantha117.
As Zak Allen was the highest finishing Director tier patron he wins the Star Wars Helmet from the Boba Fett vs Deadpool battle.
But to decide the overall winner - we go to the tiebreaker question again - what number was Peter holding up!? BTTF guessed...

"Most Wanted" is back!
This time around we are seeking ideas for opponents for swashbuckling legend and man with a deep love for wearing tights; yes - ROBIN HOOD.
He's always seemed like a character deserving of an ERB appearance, but we've never really settled on the best opponent for him. So... that's where you all come in!
We want you to dream up your best suggestions for who Robin could face.
