History[]
- The new channel was teased in a post-credits sequence during Let's Play NEMESIS RETALIATION, then again before the credits in Let's Play BLABBI.
- It was launched on 3 July 2024 with a livestream of Mario Kart 8.
- The channel focusses on couch-based playthrough of video games, typically shown as a screen split between cast and game - often with the cast in picture-in-picture.
- The main series is Video Game Club, which roughly follows the format of the No Rolls Barred series Board Game Club, with a starting 'first rule of video game club' followed by playthrough. Initial episodes were released weekly thanks to a sponsorship deal with Wizards of the Coast, who supported the whole channel.
- After some gaps in the schedule associated with cast availability, it was announced via a YouTube community post, on 9 October 2024 that the channel was without a further sponsorship deal and video release was to be dropped back to monthly.
