Geek vs Geek Let's Play Show
We will act on an idea we had after the first NES Marathon and put out a Let's Play video at least once a month. This will be a show featuring Pat & Ian as they play games and have fun at each other's expense, and while also educating on the games they are playing with trivial knowledge, etc. Think of the fun times had during the NES Marathon... now think of it on YouTube!
Ian's Happy Handhelds
Ian will produce a monthly video review show for YouTube featuring LED and LCD handheld games. Video content MAY not be limited to just these reviews but may also include streams or other videos on topics pertaining to his interest. The goal would be for at least one video a month, most likely uploaded to his personal YouTube page.
This goal is lofty for a couple of reasons. Ian would have to learn the basics from Pat in terms of writing, shooting, and editing these videos on his own (which requires a good amount of time). Equipment would be a big cost here as well. At the very least, Ian would need to purchase an editing-capable laptop, an HD camcorder and accessories, a microphone, as well as editing software. These factors (and the fact that there's no guarantee people will want to see this to make it worth the time) is why it's such a reach goal. While this goal may not be hit, if it is reached the videos will be available to everyone on the interwebs, not just to Patreon folks.

Every two weeks Pat Contri & Ian Ferguson discuss the latest in video game news, movies, comics, pro wrestling, retro game and collecting topics, and take Q&A from the audience! It's the Completely Unnecessary Podcast!
We recently passed our 50th episode landmark thanks to tremendous help from our patrons!
For two years and running the Completely Unnecessary Podcast has been recording every two weeks covering all the topics you see above. It's been growing in popularity slowly, and all the while we've been getting requests for additional content, such as having the entire video of the audio podcast uploaded. We've also been approached about potential sponsorships/advertisements. This is our way of trying to fulfill those requests while also giving a bit more content to those who'd like to experience more of the podcast. Keep in mind, the amount of free content on YouTube will not be going away... nothing will change there. However, via Patreon we can offer additional videos and written material that would never be available on YouTube!
What is Patreon?
Patreon lets fans support their favorite creators by becoming patrons. Unlike other fundraising services, which raise for a single big event, Patreon is for creators who create a stream of smaller works.
Where will the funds go?
Besides direct support to Ian & Pat, funds from the Patreon will be used to go towards better gear to improve the visual quality of the show, help compensate trips to events such as Too Many Games where we have recorded live podcasts and meet fans, and also go towards additional video content, such as a Let's Play show and the often-spoken and rumored legendary Ian's Happy Handhelds review show!
