Milestone Goals

Costs covered!

$25 per episode

This should be enough to cover various hosting costs, equipment upgrades, software licenses and all the other noise required to maintain the podcast and all its related paraphenalia.

Monthly news rollup show

$50 per episode

Yes! Instead of dropping the news at the beginning of each show, I'll roll up all the news of the month in a bonus news-only digest episode.

Quarterly group discussion shows

$75 per episode

Every few months, I'll get together with two or three listeners over Skype or Hangouts and have a chat. It could be about some topic in retro gaming news, or anything related to the show you guys want to talk about. Want to discuss the resurgence of adventure gaming? What you think VR will do for the Sim genre? Which joystick was the best? Which modem handshake noise was the most annoying? Let's talk!

Monthly Giveaways!

$100 per episode

Once a month, I'll give away a game (maybe classic, maybe modern), UMB swag or something else to a lucky listener!

4 Milestone Goals

reached

UMB Plays!

$150 per episode

This goal will create a new ongoing video series called UMB Plays!

Since I want to do more video content, if we get to this goal, I'll start doing long plays of some UMB-era games. What will I play? That's up to you guys! I'll set up a time every week where we'll get together on twitch and stream for an hour or two.

T-shirts & swag!

$200 per episode

I'll get some UMB merch designed and put up a storefront for folks to buy! This also means that swag will be included occasionally in the giveaways!

Classic Console Game Reviews!

$250 per episode

Every so often (scheudle to be determined), I'll release a special episode where I give a classic console game the UMB treatment. Mario? Sonic? Resident Evil? Let's see what happens!
