Resident Evil 4 Remake: New Game+ with Brendon!

Hello! This is Brendon! Resident Evil 4's remake has absolutely swallowed me whole since its release — I really can't put the game down. As such, I started a New Game+ run almost immediately after finishing the game for the first time and recording our episode about it. And wouldn't you know it? I recorded the whole thing too.

Please enjoy this very long Patron-only YouTube video in which I try to beat the game as quickly as I can armed only with the knowledge of my first run to guide...

God of War Ragnarök with Brendon | Patron Video Series

Hello! I've asked on the podcast and elsewhere if people would enjoy me just casually recording my playthroughs of games and putting them here on Patreon, and the response was overwhelmingly positive so I've decided to start with God of War Ragnarök!

Norse Mythology | Patron Bonus

Hello patrons, you lovely people! This weekend we're going to be recording a very loose "part 2" to our Nintendo DS season premiere to go a bit more in-depth into the system and some of the games that didn't come up naturally.

Alongside that, we'd love to answer any questions you have about making the episode or the DS in general, or just any DS related comments you may have. Can't guarantee it'll make it on the show but we'd love your input either way.

Thanks so much for your ge...
