Tom has been down an absolute rabbithole with his recent obsession, "The Bazaar" - a freaky new auto-battler that should NOT be sold to anyone with a remotely addictive personality.
Check out this bonus playthrough/natter if you're interested - but consider yourself warned! This stuff is dangerous.
Bonus Bits: Matt's Quiche Crime
We decided on a whim to make a quiche for a video, and then edited the whole process down into something silly. It went BADLY.

Matt & Tom enjoy a leisurely playthrough of one of our favourite games of the year.
Join us for plenty of BEEF and GLASS.

Bonus Bits: The Games We Miss in 2024
Tom: I wanted to make this a bumper issue to kick off the new year, but ultimately felt I should put all of that energy into making some really solid main-channel videos. We’ve got three in the bag already! Wonderful!
Next month should be different - but for this month please enjoy this quick little roundup of the bits we didn’t cover last year. There’s a few hidden...

Tom: Hello! As a little extra Bonus Bit in-between newsletters, we've filmed a playthrough of Joyride - the game featured in our latest review! Check it out right here.
I'm joined by the ever-lovely Rob and Kylie for this one, and I'm sure they'll be back for similar videos in the future. We'd ideally l...
Arcs Session Report
Finally, someone on the team has been playing an Arcs Campaign - though they’ve requested we keep their identity a secret as part of an ‘Arcs Anonymous’ program. If you or a loved one has a problem, then there’s a way to find help.
That person has written and recorded a dinky ‘session report’ for interested parties! You can hear all about their most recent e...

Secondly, we recorded a little bonus podcast that we’re tentatively titling ‘BONUS BRAIN WORMS’! We wanted to have a space to chat about the games that might have slipped through the net of our coverage, and a tidy extra podcast episode felt like the right place to do it. Let us know if you want more of this - or indeed if just having a donor-exclusive bonus episode of the podca...

Tom: I’ve been absolutely inundated with brilliant video games this month, getting that kid-in-a-sweetshop feeling whenever I look at my Steam library. Rather than write at length about them, I figured I’d make a breathless little video explaining the joys I found in just one of them.

Tom: Bears! Bears! Bears! Myself and Matt played some Barenpark and we’d love you to watch it and have a chill time. I totally biffed it in this game, it was a complete nightmare. Not a relaxing experience for me, but it might well be for you, who knows?!

Not A Tier List Video
Secondly, I didn’t make an AllPlay tier list video. Well, I did? It’s complicated.
We almost got the Barenpark playthrough sorted in time for this month but main channel vids took priority! I thought about pushing this newsletter back a bit to accommodate that, but I want to try and get these out as early as possible in the month so people aren’t waiting until ‘almost ju...

Tom: We’ve got two great chunks of video for you folks!
