Hey all, sorry this isn't early for the $5+ supporters.

It's been a busy few weeks. By all rights, we should have given up on doing this video, and saved it for the new year. Now seemed like the perfect time for this message, though, and we couldn't shake the feeling that someone, somewhere out there, needed to hear it.

Here's hoping this video doesn't end up flopping because we're posting it at a bad time.

Because we're all sick, we had a pretty hard time making this video, and it probably shows, especially in out outtakes. There will be a behind the scenes special blooper reel for this video, which we'll release to you exclusively on Patreon soon - sorry again that it's not ready now like the endslate on the video says, that was written during what we'll have to call a more optimistic time.

Anyway, here's hoping that whatever you celebrate (or not), you have an enjoyable end of year.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds: The Story of Brendan Greene

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has become one of the biggest games of the year, which is interesting considering that its creator doesn’t actually like video games all that much. Hey everyone, Kotor here, putting the finishing touches on this video long after BretonStripes has gone to bed. It’s coming up on 3am, and when I’m done with this, that’s it – I’m on a vacation of sorts over Christmas. I worried that now might not be the best time to publish this video, but I didn’t want another week to go by without one. We’ve been insanely busy in the run-up to Christmas, as is logically going to be the case considering that Baby Gamer is just two years old, and really excited to do every possible Christmasy thing. We’ve also been really sick, which has slowed things down. The outtakes for this video are really weird, and I’ve been putting together a behind the scenes video with all the best flubs and snippets. BretonStriped accidentally slipping into an Irish accent, discovering that my script is an unfinished mess, and calling me out on not actually writing down the full name of the game (apparently half the time I wrote PlayerUnknown Battleground instead of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, because I didn’t bother to proofread or even check the spelling of the game’s name). It’s been fun. The outtake video will be going up for Patreon backers once I find the time to finish it, which probably won’t be tonight, because I need sleep. Now probably isn’t a good time to upload a video, considering that most people aren’t going to be watching YouTube over the festive season, but this story felt like one that was important to go out now. If you’re alone over Christmas, we wanted you to know that you are important. It may not always feel like it, but you have something special to give, and there are people in your life who care about you. That’s all we wanted to say, and it’s why I’ve stayed up so late to get this done. Have a wonderful festive period, and keep on working hard at whatever personal goals you have in life.
