OSW Update! (Jan 2026) (Patreon)

Helloooo!It's far too late to wish you a merry Christmas and happy new year, so...happy first Monday of January! ...That's absolutely not a thing. But I hope it's treating you well. Here's what's going down in OSW-land :)

• December saw the release of THREE OSWs! What a terrible idea for me 😂 OOC warned me not to, but I love pushing the limits of what I can do, editing/production/release-wise. It meant we recorded in bulk, which took a bit longer on the front end (editing 3x audio) but it meant we got more out overall! (Otherwise Beyond the Mat would've been January's episode). The most stressful week of 2025 was the last week of November, as I was finalising the Louis Theroux video at the same time as finishing the audio for Beyond The Mat. Usually that'd take 2 weeks, but I didn't sleep and drilled it in 5 days!! Conversely I was exhausted but ecstatic when I finally sent in the copyright appeals for Beyond the Mat, so it'd be unblocked for Christmas Day! I'm super proud of Steve, the editors, animators and myself being able to get it all out 🙂 I can’t get to ‘em all but there were so many lovely comments in the BTM comments section, of people grateful for the OSW Xmas special. Me too man! Love that ye guys spend part of Xmas day with us 🍻 YouTube and other YouTubers warn you to not release videos on holidays (Christmas especially) so I feel doing a live premiere each Xmas, me and you have the run of the place!Anywoo I still work over Xmas (I don’t ever take a day completely off) but it’s mostly copyright stuff - speaking of which…• OSW In Your House 2 should be back online next week!IYH2 got copyright struck 8 days after release, due to the Backlash 2023 footage. (WWE must not have liked OOC’s Savio Vega shade 😂) I’m hoping it’ll be back online in a few days, but if it doesn’t, I’ll get an edited version on YouTube. For now you can watch it here: https://vimeo.com/1139898690

• Next episode is the 10th Golden Noggers!We have 12 main OSW episodes and 9 games/films so that’ll be good to bank before we start a new arc! Otherwise you’ll have long forgotten about Heidenreich! Any suggestions of what we could add to the show, as it’s the 10th one?

V1 and I are working to finalise the nominees, there’ll be a follow up post for voting, prob in the next week!

• Fresh batch on NoggerU axcloosiv reviews are well underway! I have Jabatoons working on a new animated intro and everything. I’m gonna get mainline OSWs stuff cooking first (recorded, audio edited and video editing started) and then start finalising the first - gonna keep it a surprise but you’re gonna pop! The first one probably early Feb.

• 'Free' Patreon Merch!I’m pretty happy with Patreon’s “auto-send out gifts” function (at $10 or higher for a few months, Patreon will send out OSW physical merch to you!) but it’s a bit narrow in scope of what you can send out, so I’m looking into hiring more help and sending it out ourselves! I’d love to send out stuff to the main tier ($5) but it’s below Patreon’s threshold for physical gifts. Bah! I’ll figure something out!Btw if you have received your patreon merch (stickers / jumpers etc) please send me a pic on twitter or bluesky or email me [OSWreview at gmail dot com] ! It always pops me.So TL/DR?• Next episode is the 10th Golden Noggers, voting to begin next week. Any suggestions of what extra we could do in the show to celebrate?• Next nU axcloosiv is being edited and prob out early February! It’s a doozy, you’ll never guess it but you’ll be very happy.• Any questions? Comment below and i'll get to 'em!I hope whether you've had a great, average or crappy 2025, that 2026 is your best in years 💚

See ya in the funny pages! Love, Jay
