Hello! Just a silly video idea I had this afternoon - features disturbing imagery. Careful now.

Heroes of the Storm - Eurogamer Let's Play

This is a little video I made for Eurogamer about new Blizzard MOBA Heroes of the Storm - I thought you guys might fancy a look, so here it is!

Dark Souls II Diary- Part 1

I wanted to record my first playthrough of Dark Souls 2, but I didn't like the idea of doing a Let's Play. Some games are best enjoyed alone, without a camera! ;) This felt like a cool compromise - recording footage while I play through, and recording raw audio of my experiences at each stage while they're still fresh in my heart and my mind. I'v...

Daft Souls #2 - The Dark Room, Bravely Default, Immortality, No Ghosts

Forgot to put this up last week, here's episode 2 of the podcast. Enjoy! Oh, and don't forget you can also now subscribe to the Q&A video as an audio podcast if you prefer - iTunes link and RSS feed are both here: http://www.patreon.com/creation?hid=315369

Just a bit of silly bullshit to cheer you up on this very grey Wednesday. Enjoy! Matt x

Oculus Miffed: What do Facebook want?

Here's a semi-serious vid on my thoughts about Facebook's Oculus buyout. Silly video incoming too though, look out! :D Matt

Daft Souls: Episode 1

BRAND NEW, BABY. A handful of the cash you guys send me each month will be going towards buying GOOD PEOPLE a beer. While they drink that beer they'll sit and talk about games, and I'll record it. I've got a few more surprises up my sleeve related to Daft Souls, but that can wait... :D I sincerely hope you enjoy! Subscribe on iTunes here: 2014-03-24 21:15:10 +0000 UTC View Post

Sponge Squad #3

It's quiet... TOO quiet.

Year of Luigi: End of Year Exam Guide

I had this idea while I was eating fried eggs. It's pretty bonkers and largely devoid of jokes, but I'm really happy with the way I've managed to capture that GCSE Bitesize vibe!

Sponge Squad #2

Previous upload was totally borked. Ich bin ein muppet, etc. Hope you enjoy!

BAFTA Interview with Hideo Kojima

I heard today that Geoff Keighley is being flown to the UK to interview Hideo Kojima at the BAFTAs on Wednesday. That seemed REALLY silly to me, so I decided to step in and do the interview myself.

Due to popular demand: A new XCOM series!

Hello you! Loads of people really wanted me to start a new XCOM series, and it sounded like a ruddy bloody fun thing to do. Without further ado, here it is! (Feel free to suggest new recruit names below - I'll pick a handful from Benefit Spongers. :D)

Dark Souls 2 Reviews: Worth Worrying About?

This ended up being slightly more of a ramble than I initially planned it to be, but hopefully you'll find it interesting! It's a lengthy chat about the realities of the review process, and how valuable most early reviews of Dark Souls 2 are likely to be.

Diddy Kong Racing 2: The Game That Never Came

Hello there! Here's something flippant and slightly strange - a video about why I'm genuinely upset that Diddy Kong Racing never got a sequel. There's not a great deal of substance here - as it's basically unrefined nostalgia - but hopefully you'll enjoy the daft visual gags. :D

Benefit Sponger Vids: HERE'S WHAT'S GOIN' DOWN.

YO! So it seemed like all of you guys unanimously decided that the weekly update videos should be available to everyone - so here's the way things will pan out from now on: - The video will be posted on here every *Thursday* in a post that only Spongers can see, allowing me to have a bit of a follow-up chat with backers in the comments. - The vi...

Dark Souls: The Reason New Players Give Up

Had this spoof idea in my head for a while, after trolling a stranger on a Twitch stream last year. BWAHAHA.

A QUICK UPDATE!

Allo allo! Just wanted to quickly check in and say: OH BOY! We've ruddy well gone and smashed it. I've got a few bits and bobs I need to sort out this week before I can kick things off properly, so you'll have to bear with me for a couple of days. If you've got the time for a BIG update, check out the Q&A video I posted on Friday: 2014-02-24 13:59:52 +0000 UTC View Post

Benefit Sponger Q&A - Answering the big Patreon questions.

Hello! This is a MASSIVE video because I wanted the first Q&A to be open to everyone, and also because I wanted to properly address the big questions about how this whole Patreon thing is gonna work. NEXT WEEK: The Q&A will be for Benefit Spongers only - keep an eye early next week for a post that only BS funders can see, and you'll be ab...

Update Video: 20th Feb 2014
