The Back Log, vol. 33 - DAWGS (Patreon)

YEAH BABY!

Look at those dawgs! This lil' pouch is the Patreon merch reward for the Merch Pocket tier over the past three months, so to all those who were eligible, they've been sent out to you this past Friday, and you should start seeing them some time this week! 

And in good news, we're gonna be revealing our next merch piece very soon, so that those who want to sign up specifically because of the item can do so. We understand it's been frustrating for some people to not know what the piece is until it's too late to get it, so we're changing up our workflow a bit and we're gonna see how this goes for us. But for now, enjoy the dawgs! And a massive thanks to Dion for once again assisting with the design.

Not too much else on the housekeeping front this week, so let's jump straight into...

THIS WEEK ON BACK POCKET

Back Pocket Tonight: We Asked 100* Gamers ft. Trash
What a stacked show this past Thursday! Joined by the wonderful Twitch ambassador Trash, we interviewed Sarah Jacklin, voice actor for Portal Revolution, feuded in our entirely original creation We Asked 100* Gamers, and engaged in some Very Good Gameplay with Aussie-made Which Way Up: Space Olympics! And that's all if we don't include What We've Been Playing, where Pete talked about Portal: Revolution, Gus gave his takes having finished Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Steph gave us the latest on her Red Dead Redemption 2 roleplay journey, and Trash introduced us to the world of Poppy's Playtime. And to round it all out, we had our very first live cross in Back Pocket history, to Will at a Skull and Bones event...

PocketBuds: The Sex Update ft. Josie Fletcher
No, don't worry, our PocketBuds is still very PG (well, probably more M-ish). But this week Ruby had a big ol' chat with Josie Fletcher of Massive Monster, and the mastermind behind the Cult of the Lamb socials. The core podcast is great, but let me tell you, the bonus episode is where it's at...

NEXT WEEK ON BACK POCKET

Well, if there isn't a brand new weekly Back Pocket thing to announce! We briefly mentioned in the show on Thursday, but we will be streaming every Monday afternoon from 4-6pm! It all starts this week with a sponsored Helldivers II stream, but don't worry, there'll be plenty of non-sponsored stuff in future weeks too. I'll make sure to chuck the details in here whenever I have them early enough to do so!

In terms of our other content, we're still waiting to lock in our guest for Thursday night, but on PocketBuds we have none other than Garrett Hunter of Mega64 (for reals this time)!

That's all for another Back Log, and another week of 2024! It's incredibly hot right now down in Melbourne, and apparently Adelaide and Perth as well, so if you're in those areas, make sure you're staying safe, hydrated and that your pets are ok too! And maybe play some video games in front of an aircon too.
