Hi everyone, and welcome to today's Subscriber Sunday video. So this last week we've been
taking a look at a few games, a bit of hardware and so on - the usual. But we also have our
first Patreon prize pool winner. LogicalX was the name drawn out of the hat and he's
chosen the Inateck wireless Bluetooth speaker. It's waterproof as well to IP 97. That will
be going out on Monday for him, congratulations again to Dean for winning that. Now if you
want a chance to choose something from the Patreon prize pool all you need to do is become
a backer on Patreon. To donate $1 per month to help keep us 100% independent and free
from influence from all those PR and marketing people and allow us to just be an honest opinion
direct from the UK. All you need to do, head over to Patreon, make your $1 pledge and you'll
be entered into the prize pool for next month. Now we've had a bit of feedback and ideas
from some of the guys who are Patreon backers. So firstly, there is going to be
an exclusive Patreon forum coming, that will be where you guys, if you're a Patreon backer,
can come and talk to us, give us thoughts, feedback, ideas or just discuss things you're
interested in with each other. There'll also be a merchandise store that's something else
you guys have asked if we will put together. We're working on that at the moment and it
will offer the usual fare, T shirts, baseball caps and things like that. Badges and stickers
if you're interested. Coming up over the next week we're going to be taking a look at a
number of games that I've been battling my way through for you. We've got Dragon Age
Inquisition, we've got The Crew, we've got Far Cry 4 we've got Mordheim: City of the Damned,
that's an early access title I'll be bringing you a preview of probably end of this next
week coming up. What else have we got, ooh God! Um, there's loads of stuff frankly. Civilisation
Revolution 2 on mobile and a range of different mobile games as well and we've also got another
Asus tablet to take a look at as well. They've sent us a 7in tablet to have a bit of a look
at, let them know what we think and then send back to them so it won't be going into the
prize pool I'm afraid. Oh, speaking of the prize pool. Things going into the prize pool
I had a bit of a think the other day and it dawned on me that one of the things that we
can quite easily do is to make sure that always in the prize pool is some opportunities for
things people want. Now, one easy way to do that is to make sure there is a gift voucher
in there and that gift voucher can effectively be converted into whatever you want. OK? So
what I'm thinking it will be a £20 gift voucher and we'll do this to try and keep things really simple.
£20, $20, 20 Euros, whatever your local denomination is. You'll be able to choose that as one of
the prize options and if you want, you can then say OK, I'd like an Xbox Live code. I'd
like a PlayStation 4 code, a Steam code, whatever you want basically. Even game time for World
of Warcraft if that's what you want. So that way, even if you're maybe not interested in
some physical hardware there will always be something in the prize pool that you will be interested
in or that you can put towards things that you actually want, rather than us saying,
here's some stuff, you know, maybe you want it, maybe you don't, let's keep it mixed up
as it were so there's always going to be something that you could potentially have. So, you know,
if you happen to be a Patreon prize pool winner there will be a range of different hardware
maybe some pre-set games as it were like Sunset Overdrive but then you'll also have
a 20 denomination gift there if you want to choose that instead, that you can then have redeemed
against Steam, EA, Origin, whatever, wherever you want to redeem it basically, we'll buy
you that code and send it across to you it's as simple as that. So do please keep your
feedback, thoughts and ideas coming, we do love hearing all of your ideas and comments,
even if we don't always get to reply to every single one of them. Some days it's so busy
here I just don't get a chance to kind of deep dive through every single comment, especially
if those comments are kind of reiterating something someone else has already said and
I've already replied to, it doesn't necessarily make much sense to keep repeating myself even
though I'm repeating myself, go figure. Anyway, do keep your thoughts and comments coming
in and do please look to subscribe if you're not already. If you are not a Patreon pledger
please do consider it. We are thinking of adding some backateers so do let me know what
you think about that. We'll always be $1 is always going to be the starting point but
I've noticed that quite a few people have pledged $5 and some people from last month
have actually come back and upped their pledge to $5 and so I'm kind of thinking to myself
well maybe we should look to reward people that are willing to go that extra mile as
it were and what that might actually look like. So let me know if there are things within
a tiered structure that might interest you. So, for instance, for argument's sake as it were
what if we offered a T-shirt to people who pledge $20 a month? Would that sit well with
you, would that not sit well with you? Likewise, what if it was some badges or some stickers
or something that we just sent out for $5 or $10 pledges. Now these would be unique
in the sense that you're not going to be able to get these anywhere else. If we did a T-shirt
design or badges or stickers or whatever it happened to be, we would have a unique design
done that wasn't something you could just buy from say a merchanised store or something
like that and it would be very much a unique thing that only pledgers can get hold of.
It has to be exclusive from my point of view because otherwise, why would anybody do it?
So unlike many pledgers and backers and all these kickstarters that go on out there, where,
you know, you can just pop over to a merchandise store and buy that T-shirt for a tenner, we'll do
something that is very, very unique for pledgers and pledgers only. Perhaps it's a gold version
of our logo in some way, and our ident, something that is very, very obvious and distinct as being
only available to pledgers and pledgers only. Do let me know in the comments what
you think of that. We're always open to ideas and we're constantly looking at, you know,
what can we do next, how can we reward you guys for rewarding us? So like I say, do
let me know in the comments what you think about that and we'll take that on board and
see where we go from there really. Anyway, have a very good week ahead of you guys and I'll see
you again next Subscriber Sunday. Thanks for watching. Don't forget you can pledge $1 a
month on Patreon to help support the Androidizen, keeping us 100% independent. An honest opinion
direct from the UK. If you pledge $1 a month you'll be entered into our prize pool to win
cool items from our review bag. Also don't forget to like, subscribe and comment. We
love to chat.
