4 Months of Previously Unpatroned Content (Patreon)

Holy hell, I let this get out of hand! I was gonna make one of these in February and then also in March, but both times Davoo ended up working so far down to the wire on the last video of the month that it didn't leave me with enough time (In March's case, we were leaving for a trip that day), so now I've got this mammoth amount of stuff to mark. But this is the last time we'll have to do this, because as of next month, all of this stuff will be accounted for in the first place! Anyways, here's the categorized list:

*** = Must-Watch, ** = Worthwhile, * = Only if you're bored
