• Tuesday: Project Hospital
• Wednesday : Either Thief Simulator or Train Sim World
• Thursday: Project Hospital
• Friday: Transport Fever
• Saturday: Either Train Sim World or Thief Simulator
• Sunday: Train Sim World and Motorsport Manager (backer exclusive)

Some of you may be aware of a shift in the wind. I am about to undergo a change in work which presents an opportunity to upweight my video releases. If this goes very well indeed I may be in a position to transition into working on Colonel Failure's Big Book Of Plans full time. This would be fantastic, but I've a long way to go to get there so expect some energetic promotion of backer benefits for the next month. 

On which note, here's the latest from Bad Company where I just passed the 50 exclusive video mark, and you can view them right now if you sign up on Patreon. I didn't say I'd be subtle.

The inaugural Sportsball season is now midway through. This first season has been a learning experience for all concerned, but we have some front-runners who look likely to contend for the first Electrosports Bowl. You should expect to see a video in the near future.

Rumblings are that The Colonel has a scheme for those space pilots who fancy an evening of nonsense in Elite Dangerous. There are now over 30 pilots in the Bad Company private group, regularly meeting up in the star system that has been dubbed Pocahontas. Expect a live stream soon.

7 Days to Die alpha 17 is in the wild, and once it settles down there will be an extended stream featuring a one-off event. Given how many Bad Company members joined to play 7D2D this is likely to be well attended. Expect a live stream soon.

Motorsport Manager is now 2/3 of the way through the first GT season. Will it continue into a second season, or will it be replaced with something else? Voting commences shortly.

The team Factorio build is ongoing, and while I'm not personally involved, the half dozen team members rarely shut up about it in Discord. That's fine, they have their own channel and are open to new-joiners. Make me want to play Factorio some more, but I'm waiting for Satisfactory.

You can join Bad Company and get stuck into multiplayer merriment either by supporting the Colonel on Patreon or by becoming a member on YouTube (hit the join button!) YouTube joiners also score a snazzy icon that displays beside their name in live streams... yes I don't do enough of these... but that's the only difference between the two. JOIN NOW. DO IT NOW. DON'T THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT.

Back to the public viewing channel and I'm looking to get some education of your taste for the next major series. I'll still cover new and quirky games that take my interest but I'm hoping to pull together a second primary series to sit alongside Transport Fever (which will be back to 2 episodes per week very soon). If you've not done so already, take this quick poll and let me know what you'd like to see. 

Right, that's your lot. Get back to work.
