Anyone know what the're referencing /parodying with the racist couple and the Xbox logo? Considering the episode was originally released last year, I'm not sure what was happening at the time.

I think it's taking the piss out of racist American kids on Xbox Live or America generally because of Trump with the use of an American product.

Kelvin

Ah, yeah, Xbox live probably.

Latest youtube episode is up. First half isn't great, but the Reggie Fils-Aimé and the fake devs sketches towards the end are really funny.

They uploaded the game developers sketch to an actual porn site for good measure.

This episode and the next one both felt a little bit flat in comparison with the first few, but the run from episode 7 to the end of the series is very good.

That Fake Game Devs sketch had my skin crawling, it was fucking amazing.

Is that what they're calling it nowadays.

Bunch of episodes popped out. Most recent one being really good.

Still shockingly low view count. Poor bastards, anti scottish racism no doubt.

The last episode of the 'main sequence' of series 4 is now up on Youtube, for those who want to see some closure to the ongoing storyline in the original run.

This is so hard to follow, in terms of releases. When something new appears on YouTube I don't know if it's them reposting something from the archives or something brand new to consume.

I know people were put off the Patreon by the episodes not being downloadable, but starting with the one that popped up yesterday they are.  They're going back and adding links for the old ones.  This should have been the way it was from the start, so hopefully it gets them a few more subscribers.

All episodes, up to and including last month's episode 7.1, are now on Youtube. I believe the plan is that future episodes will show up on Youtube a week or so after the Patreon release.

For those who thought that the new series was too slavishly following the format of the original run, 7.1 shakes things up quite a bit.

Rev+

'Shaking things up' is one way of putting it.  I've just watched 7.2 and it looks like this is the new normal now.

It's now a show with about 3 reviews in the old style, with the space in between just being the hosts sitting in a takeaway or wandering down a road having a discussion that maybe touches on video games.  Not in some authored style, just the uninteresting bollocks of a normal conversation.  Almost everything that made Consolevania what it was is gone.  No sketches, no music, no comedy.

They've clearly bitten off more than they can chew with promising monthly episodes, and have killed the thing by doing so.  Take a break.  Fuck off for six months, or a year.  Their justification was that they'd given some thought to what the thing would be like if they were starting it for the first time right now, but that's bollocks.  Ideas don't come with price tags - they're struggling to do monthly episodes, and won't admit it.

Rab Florence has been pretty busy recently so can understand that he might not really have much time to commit to it.

Rev+

They're mentioning personal issues more than they used to, and it's clear that Ryan has a load of stuff going on too.  I suppose that this is the trap of Patreon:  you have to keep producing 'content'.  I'd prefer them to park it for a while and come back refreshed.

Did they finish the top 100 games thing? Because I was enjoying that.
