MMO Podcast with Callum Upton + font reduction
Hi allCool 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 veer off into personal stories if they are relevant.This may me...
The new PC
Hi allHope 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.Twitch streams will be buttery smooth!Looming Looking to getting back to ...
Dying PC, getting a new one ASAP
Hello allHope 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 channel hitting 200k subs very soon and the patreon support growing daily, i w...
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, far from it, thanks to you fantastic people I can turn down every offer if I need to...
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 assure all of you, I am negotiating heavily and will only agree to them if they allow me t...
Discord Ranks
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 RPGWorst AdventureWorst Hack n slashWorst ps1 / ps2 / xbox / gamecubeYou get the idea.How would you feel about seeing the truly terrible games played, rev...

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 peopleI 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 video.But, thanks to your support, I DON'T HAVE TOO! I don't ...

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.
