Surprise! We thought it would be nice to share some of our bloopers to lift everybody’s spirits going into the weekend.

This collection was originally posted to our Patreon as our very first bonus episode! We know not everyone can afford to join, but if you can join at the upper levels, you will get an extra episode every month, so here’s a taste!

We recently posted one about Mass Effect and Dragon Age for fans of those games. They are so much fun and we are grateful to have the resources to make some extra content thanks to Patreon.
