MMO Podcast with Callum Upton + font reduction

Hi all

Cool bit of news, after some planning with Callum Upton, we've been able to find time to product a weekly podcast focusing on the MMO / scam game landscape.

The filming will happen live on twitch every Monday, 8pm to 10pm, but if you're not on twitch don't worry, the recorded video will then be uploaded to youtube, and the audio will be uploaded to all major podcasting sites.

The general vibe will be more mature discussion about games and gaming, with the ability to ...

The new PC

Hi all

Hope everyone is doing well!

Your support has meant I've been able to turn down endless crappy sponsorships, you are the reason videos aren't filled with raid shadow legends, dragon raja or dungeon fighter ads.

You're also the reason I'm able to recover and upgrade after my PC died.

The new PC build is almost complete and we should be back to business as usual by next week, videos will be in higher resolution, games in higher quality, and super high fps.

Dying PC, getting a new one ASAP

Hello all

Hope everyone is well.

For the past 6 months I've managed to put out 3 videos a week, come rain or shine (oh god the melting, burning shine) I've kept that schedule.

Unfortunately my PC has now paid the price. I bought it 7 years ago, it's got a 512gb hdd, and its dying, badly.

C drive usage has gone to 100% with nothing running, booting up is taking 15 minutes, its reached a point i can't open a folder, a basic folder, without lag.

So, with the c...

Finally a decent sponsor!

After months and months of turning down raid shadow legends, merge dragons, raid again, disgaea rpg, raid again, hair loss cremes, raid again, standing desks, bitcoin miners, mystery boxes and raid, again, I have finally been approached by a decent, genuine sponsor.

NordVPN have agreed to sponsor 1 video. They're willing to sponsor more but I want to see how people react to it and how it works for them.

This does NOT mean every video is going to be sponsored,...

Raid: Sarcastic Legends

Hi all, hope you're all well, few awesome updates.

I have been contacted by NordVPN, a company I actually trust, and offered a sponsorship, i would feel comfortable taking this as they are a company I can actually endorse.

I have also been contacted by various marketing companies to create a 15 min sponsored video for the new mobile MMO 'DISGAEA Mobile', and asked to include 'Raid: Shadow legends' video ad segments in my videos.

I want to ass...

Thanks to a great suggestion by Patron Carl Henry, all active Patreon supporters now have identifying discord ranks.

See, I do listen, sometimes.

Worst of the Worst - A new series idea

Hi All, hope you're all well!

First off, happy easter!

Now, I need your input and feedback. I know my channel has been focused on MMORPG games for quite some time, and the 'worst MMO ever' series has been very well recieved.

The danger with this series is how it limits the terribleness to just the MMO genre, which is why I'm looking at the possibility of expanding into more.

Worst RPG
Worst Adventure

Worst Hack n slash

Otherland Part 5 Special Guest!

Hi all

Hope you're all well.

Amazing news, Lucjan, founder of Drago Entertainment and current developer of 'Otherland', spoke to me for over an hour and answered all my questions, the interview will feature on episode 5!

Otherland Part 4

You may have seen how 'Otherland part 3' ends on a cliffhanger.

Just so you aren't worried about the series, i can confirm, there is a part 4, and beyond.

Hope you're all doing good :)

Internet is borked

Multiple videos are ready to be uploaded, but until TalkTalk fix the internet on our whole estate, they will be delayed, shouldn't be more than a day or two disruption.

The next Worst MMO ever is adventure quest 3d.

This is what you all prevent!

Hello you sexy people

I get emails, like the above image, often. Every few days I'll have another company pushing another mobile game or gacha game or time-gated mobile mmo and they'll offer me some money to put a 60 to 90 second advert in the middle of a video.

I like to only sell what I believe in, so I play every game I get offered a sponsorship deal with and up until now there has only ever been 1 game I liked and even then I didn't like it enough to put it in a vid...

Super sexy Patreon sneak peak

Heres the next 7 videos, sneak peak.

50% MMO, 50% REVIEW

Hello you gorgeous people.

My niche on youtube is MMO, its how most of you found me, i will always to some degree make mmo content.

The last 3 videos however have been 'retro reviews' of older games, as i believe pushing into the general gaming arena is a vital step.

Future videos will contain more green screen live comedy skits, and be between 30 to 45 minutes.

If you feel i could improve the content in any way, please let me know :)

Josh

Test footage of the comedy skit intro style - Dino Crisis

Sneak preview of new content, i'll be adding in live comedy skits through the reviews, only short, but they should help break up the review into nice sections.

You Pay, You Say

Morning all

As you financially support this channel, you have a great deal of power over helping dictate its future and its content.

I focused on MMO content, guides and reviews and that will continue, and now i'm pushing into the 'retro review' stuff, replaying older games.

Before that I've made warhammer 40k guides, tabletop dungeons and dragons guides and opinion pieces on MMO design.

As you pay to support the channel I want to know what kind of content y...

Retro Review Master List

Morning all, hope you're all well.

I'd like to update you on the new series 'retro review', how it will work, what it's about and how it will affect future videos.

I've made 20 'Worst MMO Ever' videos so far and they're fun, I love MMO's, but another passion is older videogames, so...

I'm going to replay the older games we grew up playing, from the early 1990's to the late 2010's, and make indepth videos on them, this will require a few thing...

What were your favorite Childhood games?

Hi all

While 'Worst MMO Ever' will continue, the next series I'll be working on is 'Retro Review', where I'll be replaying the videogames we all played growing up, so, what games do you fondly remember from your childhood, and I'll make sure to add them to the list!

Your names are now at the start as well

As most people dont watch all the way to the end of a youtube video, most people weren't seeing your beautiful names.

So all patrons will now be listed at both the beginning, and the end of videos :)

Patreon Update!

I am now able to consistently put out 2 to 3 videos a week, with videos being part of several different series:

Worst MMO ever - playing the lowest rated MMO games

Was it Good? - Playing the highly rated games from years past, from the SNES era up to now, and seeing if they still hold up today.

General MMO guides.

As the video schedule is now sorted and I'm getting much, much better at editing thumbnails, i'm updating the look of the patreon, with new tiers...
