Upcoming Topics / Facebook / Giveaway! (Patreon)

Now that the massive Tetris episode is finally done, it's time to turn our attention to slightly shorter episodes. Currently we are discussing what our next giant episode will be. But in the meantime, here are some upcoming topics you can look forward to.

Upcoming Topics

Currently i'm streaming retro games Monday - Thursday at 2PM CST. This is a nice way to take a break during the day and help grow the Facebook page.

We are also posting a new video series called "Today in Video Game History." These are short videos, around 4 minutes. They are perfect for Facebook, but would not be successful on YouTube. We are reserving YouTube for our longer, documentary videos. 

A lot of people have been wondering about the recent Facebook postings. Long story short, Facebook wants to increase it's gaming presence and they reached out to us about it. We wanted to grow our Facebook page, so it's mutually beneficial for both of us. We'll see how it goes!
