We come to you with some exciting news: We are changing the Patreon around! It feels like we just did this, but the last major change was back toward the beginning of 2017. We’re trying to constantly observe what’s happening with the network and learn what to do better. That means making changes like this from time to time.\n\nWe’re also aiming to never shake things up in a way that is too disruptive to you, the listener. We want to give more (or at least focus up and give better). So we put a lot of thought and consideration into making sure these changes either solve problems or help us achieve goals.\n\nHere’s the summary of what we’re planning, and you can find the details below. In order to grow the network, give patrons more, and cover rising costs, we plan to:\n\n\nBring back Bonfireside Chat as a Patreon show.\nGive Patrons a whole episode of Watch Out for Fireballs!\nMove from theme months to covering big-name games more frequently.\nChange WOFF! Listener Response episodes to WOFF! Dispatch, make it more interactive, and have broader topic discussions.\nMake Adaptation Decay a monthly show.\nWe are getting rid of the content store, and making premium episodes available on Patreon in perpetuity.\nWe are phasing out the promise of physical goods, and sending out an “I’m Sorry!” package to people who never got theirs.\nIn general, we are simplifying the Patreon drastically, while offering more at each tier.\n\n\nSo without further preamble, let’s get into more detail.\n\nWe want to grow.\nWe want to grow in both listenership, patronage, and income. We are proud of the work that we do, and never want to stagnate in any of the aforementioned areas. Growth requires change.\n\nWe want to give patrons more.\nThe best way to keep listeners and members around is to always try to give more (or give better). This is also the best way to bring new people in. We are grateful to our patrons, past and present, and we want to make sure we’re giving them stuff they want.\n\nWe want to meet rising costs.\nThere are costs associated with doing this at the professional level. Traveling to live shows is expensive. Hosting, web services, applications, and equipment are expensive. Being self-employed is expensive (both Gary and I do this full time and need to cover things like health insurance). And since we’re covering more new games, we’re spending more on games! This is not a hobby for us, we’re committed to doing this full time as our main means of support, and this means keeping up with costs.\n\nPeople want Bonfireside Chat.\nAnd we want to give it to them. We also want to play to our strengths as a network whose bread and butter is games club content. We put Bonfireside Chat to bed when it felt like it was the right thing to do. We stuck with our guns for a long time. But with Sekiro on the horizon, and some damn-fine Soulslikes already here, it feels right to take the show out of cold storage.\n\nSo we are bringing back Bonfireside Chat as a Patreon show, with a slightly different format. Listen to Bonfireside Chat 2.0 Episode 0 on the feed to learn more. Our first game is the Soulslike shooter Immortal Unchained!\n\nWe want to value WOFF! appropriately.\nWatch Out for Fireballs! is the network’s flagship show. It also takes a lot of time to produce. We play through the entire game (whether it’s 1 hour or 100), research the games, write outlines that total in the thousands of words, record for hours, and edit. In looking at how to make this tenable in the long run, we have decided to make one episode of WOFF! per month premium.\n\nThis does two things: It makes the Patreon more valuable for our members, and it incentivizes more membership.\n\nBut don’t panic! When an episode goes premium, we will include a good portion of it on the public feed (up through the Generalities). So you still get something each week, it’s just that the play-by-play goes to members.\n\nNOTE 1: This won’t go into effect for January. We already announced those games, and we don’t want to revoke access to something anyone was excited for.\n\nNOTE 2: We will still have multi-part episodes, but we will never put a whole episode (Part 2, 3, or 4) behind a paywall. Only single episodes will get this treatment.\n\nWOFF! Theme Months are going away.\nThis was a very fun idea. But it was also hell to plan for, in addition to other WOFF-based pattern incentives. So we feel like it has run its course. We want to exercise more control over the games we pick for WOFF! so we can pace out the year and cover exciting stuff. Anyone who has paid for a WOFF Theme Month will still get their topics covered, but after that hopper is exhausted the theme months will go away.\n\nWe want the WOFF! Listener Response episodes to be more interesting.\nRight now, not a lot of folks listen to the letters episodes on WOFF. Additionally, not a lot of people listen to the behind-the-scenes episodes of DuckTRAX, and we don’t get very many prompts/responses. SO! We’re getting rid of DuckTRAX and changing the listener response episodes to WOFF! Dispatch.\n\nSo the last episode of WOFF! for each month will contain responses about the games from that month, prompts and questions from the Patrons, and a segment that is a longer-form discussion about a particular topic. These will be fun experiments, and we hope you’re down for them.\n\nWe want to do more Adaptation Decay\nAdaptation Decay is our premium show about how video games are adapted into other media, and it’s a fun show to do. Right now we have it on a very strange “8 times a year” rhythm. With DuckTRAX going away, we are taking Adaptation Decay monthly!\n\nThe content store is complicated, and having content time-gated on Patreon is confusing and dissatisfying.\nSo we’re not going to fuck with that anymore. If you back at $10 per month, you’ll get access to the firehose of content. Every premium WOFF, Bonfireside Chat Exquisite Suffering, Adaptation Decay, DuckTRAX, Try This… and whatever other one-off Duckfeed Presents stuff we make for you. We appreciate people who support us, and we want you to get your money’s worth, both in terms of the backlog and future value.\n\nWe really biffed the physical goods.\nUnder the old scheme, we offered physical goods packs and a DuckZine. We failed to deliver those, because we overestimated our ability to meet that logistical challenge. So the new scheme has no physical rewards.\nTo say sorry for our past neglect of this promise, we will be sending out one large package to everyone who was qualified for those rewards (you should have already received an email about this). We are sorry that we disappointed you on this front, and there’s really no excuse. We hope the I’m Sorry package helps.\n\nWe’re honoring our previous commitments.\nPeople who paid for theme months will get those theme months covered. If you have a WOFF! game demand or Abject Suffering demand in the hopper, that’s still there.\nThe current Patreon scheme is complicated and we want to simplify it.\nWe have a lot of reward tiers and stretch goals. Some of the reward tiers require backing for several months, which is confusing. In general, we let the Patreon grow tangled and weird, and we want to prune it down so it’s easier for you to pick the right tier.\n\nSo, we’ve got less of everything, but what remains should be even more valuable. We are reducing the number of new shows on the horizon, because we are already stretched pretty thin. But there’s still stuff to aim for, and we hope this makes the Patreon much more valuable and friendly.","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eHello, listeners and patrons alike.

We’ve got a lot of stuff to talk about, and we want to hear what you think. So we’ve set up a survey to gather your input.

Here’s a brief timeline so you can know what takes effect when.\n\n\nJanuary: WOFF! expands beyond retro games.\nMay: Brayton replaces Gary on Check It Out, Comrade!\nLate June: Changes to the Duckfeed Patreon will take effect.\nJuly 1: Early Release shifts to 1 week early instead of 1 day early.\nJuly 9: Bonfireside Chat Victory Lap season begins.\nAugust 1: Watch Out for Fireballs! schedule change takes effect.\nAugust 20: Final Bonfireside Chat airs.\n\n\nBonfireside Chat is Ending\n\nIt’s strange to begin an announcement about Watch Out for Fireballs! with news for a different show, but the fate of Bonfireside Chat affects everything on the network. We’ve thought about it long and hard, and we’ve decided to end Bonfireside Chat in August of 2017.\n\nBonfireside Chat and the Dark Souls series have both been very good to us. We’ve met a ton of great people doing the show, built an audience, and made some great episodes. But the Dark Souls 3 season kind of broke us. It was the first time we had to spend so much time playing, examining, and talking about a game that we’re not crazy for.\n\nWe knew the end of Bonfireside Chat would happen some day. As early as a year ago, FromSoft told us that the series was concluding. We entertained the notion of continuing the show by talking about SoulsLikes, but those are of wildly varying quality. And all of our thoughts come back to this: Dark Souls was a game that was so good that we couldn’t **not* do a show about it.* Most of the sequels were as well. But it makes no sense to bind ourself to things that merely imitate something that we love.\n\nWhat if From releases a new SoulsBorne game?\n\nE3 is in a few weeks, and it’s totally possible that From will announce something related to Souls. This won’t change our decision. Instead, that game will be covered on Watch Out for Fireballs! The same applies to any really good SoulsLikes.\n\nHow is Bonfireside Chat going to end?\n\nWe have a plan for ending Bonfireside Chat, and we’ve alluded to it before. This summer, we’re walking back through the whole series in the opposite order that we’ve covered it. Each game will get an episode + appendix pair, and we’re going to talk about each entry in the broader context of the series now that we know how it ends.\n\nSo that means the order is as follows:\n\n\nBloodborne (July 2)\nDark Souls 2 (July 16)\nDemon’s Souls (July 30)\nDark Souls (August 13)\n\n\nThese episodes will have guests, and they’re already chosen from our Bonfireside Chat After Dark tier backers. They are John Hurst, Mitch Benes, Randy Walker, and Kilo Pascal.\n\nPrior to that, we’re going to cover the remaining soulslikes we’ve committed to covering. Namely, Let It Die, Nioh, and Hollow Knight.\n\nYou’ll notice that this brings the entire podcast around full circle. We like how appropriate that feels.\n\nWhat Happened to Bonfireside Chat After Dark?\n\nWe miscalculated when we added Bonfireside Chat After Dark to the Patreon. We had no idea what would happen with the series or the show when we thought that up. We’ll own that mistake, and we also want to make it right… and here’s how.\n\nThose backers who would have been guests on Bonfireside Chat After Dark will instead guest on those final revisit episodes. It feels right to get people from the community involved in the victory lap, especially if they are people who have supported us as much as those individuals have. We’ve spoken with them, and they’re cool with it.\n\nIf you paid for a prompt or question on Bonfireside Chat After Dark, we will use your responses during those recap appendices. Please look for a message in your email inbox toward the beginning of June.\n\nWhat’s Replacing Bonfireside Chat?\n\nWe’ve gotten a lot of suggestions about what to cover after Bonfireside Chat ends. People were pulling hard for games like the Witcher and Nier. We seriously kicked around the idea of starting up a show that chronologically examined the Resident Evil games. The Crystal Chronicles was on our Patreon milestone goals for a very long time (more on that later).\n\nStarting up a new show about a new series of games makes less sense than making big changes to Watch Out for Fireballs!, which has always been our flagship show. What happens if we broaden that umbrella, and make changes to the schedule to allow us to cover more games in greater depth?\n\nWhat’s it look like if the Witcher 3 becomes a game we could cover on WOFF!?\n\nYou end up with something we’ve codenamed WOFF! 2.0. But we likely won’t use that name in the future.\n\nWatch Out for Fireballs! is Going Weekly\n\nWOFF becoming more frequent is a huge deal for us. And here’s what it looks like.\n\nThe first 3 weeks of each month (or the first 4, if it’s a 5 week month) will feature full episodes about short or medium length games, or episodes about portions of larger games (like we’ve done with large games in the past). The last episode of each month will be a collective listener response episode about all of the games we covered that month.\n\nThis kind of grouping will also let us do themed batches of episodes each month. Hypothetically, this is what “Weird NES Sequels” month would look like.\n\n\nWeek 1: Super Mario Bros. 2\nWeek 2: Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest\nWeek 3: Zelda II: The Adventures of Link\nWeek 4: Feedback episode about all three of the previous games.\n\n\nOther ideas for themed groups of episodes would be a long look at the Wolfenstein series, going from Wolfenstein 3D to the 2008 reboot to Wolfenstein: The New Order. We could also do a Resident Evil cleanup month, with Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Code: Veronica, and Resident Evil 6. We aren’t promising that either of those will happen right away, but they’re examples.\n\nIf this sounds familiar, it’s similar to how we’ve treated JRPGs and CRPGs in the past. The Neverwinter Nights II series of episodes was a test model for this, and we think those episodes turned out very well.\n\nLooking at the math, our old “tick tock” model of release would usually result in 26 episodes per year. Our multi-part episodes have made us come out with slightly more than that (for example, we released 30 episodes in 2016). Under the new model, you would get 40 mainline episodes per year.\n\nHere are a few things that will happen as a result of this:\n\n\nWe will cover more “small” games. The Pac Man 2 episode in the Duck Bundle was a test for how this would work.\nSplit episodes will go away (namely, single episodes that feature two games, like the Starflight/Toe Jam \u0026amp; Earl episode, or the Brawler special).\nWe’ll be a little more liberal about splitting meaty games into multiple parts (example: Metal Gear Solid 2 is on our docket, and we’re splitting that 12 hour game in 2 because we will have a lot to say).\nWe’ll have to be more comfortable with some episodes being “only” 60-90 minutes, as we cover some shorter stuff.\n\n\nTwo things that won’t go away are poll episodes and executive produced episodes. Those will be folded into the model, and remain unchanged. That means one of those will happen each quarter (or four times per year).\n\nAnother consequence is that listener response episodes will be much meatier since they’ll cover 3 or 4 games, and there will be a more consistent deadline… namely, responses about all of the games should come in by the 15th of each month.\n\nWOFF! Will Change Schedules in August\n\nThe changes to the WOFF! schedule will begin August 3, with Final Fantasy IV month. That’s right, we’ll be covering all of Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. For reference, here’s the schedule up through that point:\n\n\nCrimson Shroud  (May 11)\nPilotwings (May 25)\nYakuza (June 1)\nSSX Tricky (June 15)\nNOX(June 29)\nMetal Gear Solid 2, Part 1 (July 13)\nMetal Gear Solid 2, Part 2 (July 20)\nFinal Fantasy IV, Part 1 (August 3)\nFinal Fantasy IV, Part 2 (August 10)\nThe After Years, Part 1 (August 17)\nThe After Years, Part 2 (August 24)\nFinal Fantasy IV Responses (August 31)\n\n\nWhat’s Happening to the Crystal Chronicles?\n\nYou may wonder what us covering FF4 on WOFF! means for the Final Fantasy show we had planned. It means that show won’t happen. We pegged that show at a very high milestone amount because it would take a tremendous amount of work. But as Bonfireside Chat wound down, we realized we probably wouldn’t hit that total any time soon. And redesigning WOFF! presented an opportunity to cover the Final Fantasy games that were meaningful to us without taking on an unreasonable workload that would harm the rest of the shows.\n\nIn general, we want to be very circumspect about adding new shows, so we’re going to make some changes to the Patreon campaign to reflect that. Expect more details later.\n\nOf note: Heartbeat City will not go away. Gary will record and release a pilot for that soon.\n\nWhat’s Happening to Other Shows on the Network?\n\nThis change shouldn’t have a huge impact on other shows, but there are some things we’d like to announce/clarify so people know what’s up.\n\nGary is taking a leave of absence from Check It Out, Comrade!, the network’s indie game show. Brayton Cameron from Teenage Dirtbags will be replacing him. Gary made this decision to free up more time for working on his book, and playing things for the new iteration of WOFF! We’re really excited to have Brayton take over his seat. Brayton is hilarious, and has different taste in games than Gary does, so you will see them cover different stuff. Gary will still come back for specific games (think Thimbleweed Park or Torment: Tides of Numenera).\n\nFile Under Water has an end date. Right now, it’s slated to end in late October. A show about R.E.M. was always going to be limited, because they only put out a limited number of albums. We currently have no plans to cover another band.\n\nRadio Free Mid-World is a limited show as well. Once we run out of Dark Tower books, related works by King, and related media (the movies, TV show, whatever else comes) we will end that show. Don’t worry, this won’t happen until 2019 at the earliest.\n\nHow is the Patreon Changing?\n\nWe’re making some adjustments to the way our Patreon works, in order to reflect these changes to our show lineup. Chiefly (and logically), we’re getting rid of the $75 BSC Afterdark tier, and removing the “get a prompt on BSC Afterdark” from the $10 tier.\n\nWe are also removing The Crystal Chronicles as a milestone goal.\n\nBoth of these will be replaced by something else in due time… Look a little further down to see what we’re thinking of (and to see how you can help).\n\nWe’re also making two other big changes.\n\nEarly Release is getting better.\n\nEffective around the end of June and the beginning of July, episodes on the Early Release feed will come out a week early, instead of a day early. We are also raising the price of this perk to $5 per month. This is more valuable, we think, and it brings us closer in line with other Patreon campaigns that offer a similar perk.\n\nWe’re going to make a great deal of these changes in the middle of June, and the “1 Week Early” change will happen for any episode that would have normally come out in July.\n\nThe only show this doesn’t apply to right now is The Level, which will come out 1-2 days early because of how that show is produced.\n\nWe’re changing the Slack access tier.\n\nEffective sometime in June, Slack invites will only go to backers at $5 and up. If you already have access to the Slack team, or access the Slack team before the change is made, then you will be grandfathered in. We will not revoke Slack access from people.\n\nWe’re doing this for a couple of reasons. The community is getting very big, and it’s requiring more work and more touch than it did in the past. This will help control that. Additionally, it will reduce the number of drive-bys that happen, as $5 is a bigger investment.\n\nSomething to note is that the $1 tier will not go away. Those small donation amounts are huge for us. You will still get access to incidental content, and access to Watch Out for Fireballs! polls.\n\nWhat are some open questions?\n\nEverything laid out before this paragraph is a decision we’ve already made. We feel like they are good decisions, and we wouldn’t shake things up so much if we didn’t feel so secure in how things are going.\n\nBut each big decision is accompanied by multiple smaller decisions. And that’s why we’re running this survey… to gather useful information from you, and to hear your thoughts and ideas about how the network can get better at giving you things you want.\n\nHere are some questions that have gone unanswered, and we want your help.\n\nWhat’s a good replacement for the $75 tier? That’s a lot of money to give, and we want to make it awesome. Would you want to guest on an episode? Dictate a piece of media for a Try This type show? Dictate the subject of some video content like Let’s Plays?\n\nWhat kind of new milestones goals would you like to see? Should we do another live show each year? Should we hold a virtual DuckCon? Include more guest episodes on WOFF!?\n\nDo one-off milestones interest you? Not every milestone needs to be an ongoing commitment. Maybe we could do some actual-play tabletop one-offs. Maybe we could set a goal for Gary and Kole to stream some co-op games.\n\nAnd there are other questions we haven’t even thought to ask. We want to know what would make you a patron if you aren’t one already. We want to know what stuff we do that you care about, and we also want to know what you don’t care about.\n\nWe’d also like to hear how you feel about the changes to our biggest shows. We’ve already made our decision about ending Bonfireside Chat, but it’s worth understanding how this will impact your listenership and patronage.\n\nSomething we don’t want to hear is “Stick to Games” or “Stop mentioning politics.” We also don’t want to hear “Be more positive.” Save yourself the time and hassle if that’s what you were going to say.\n\nWe’re holding a survey.\n\nAfter this novella of a post, we want to know what you think. Use the button below to fill out the survey. It will be a huge help to us. Completing the survey and selecting “Yes, I would like to enter the contest” will enter you for a chance to win a $20 Steam gift card (we are giving out three of them). We are especially interested in your responses if you’re not already a Patron of Duckfeed.tv on Patreon.\n\nA link to the survey: https://duckfeed.typeform.com/to/LDPTnY\n\nThank you so much for reading this, if you’ve gotten this far. Your support has meant the world to us, and we are incredibly excited about what these changes mean for the network.

We’ve thought about it long and hard, and \u003cstrong\u003ewe’ve decided to end Bonfireside Chat in August of 2017.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBonfireside Chat and the Dark Souls series have both been very good to us. We’ve met a ton of great people doing the show, built an audience, and made some great episodes. But the Dark Souls 3 season kind of broke us. It was the first time we had to spend so much time playing, examining, and talking about a game that we’re not crazy for.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe knew the end of Bonfireside Chat would happen some day. As early as a year ago, FromSoft told us that the series was concluding. We entertained the notion of continuing the show by talking about SoulsLikes, but those are of wildly varying quality. And all of our thoughts come back to this: \u003cem\u003eDark Souls was a game that was so good that we couldn’t **not\u003c/em\u003e* do a show about it.* Most of the sequels were as well. But it makes no sense to bind ourself to things that merely imitate something that we love.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat if From releases a new SoulsBorne game?\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eE3 is in a few weeks, and it’s totally possible that From will announce something related to Souls. This won’t change our decision. Instead, that game will be covered on Watch Out for Fireballs! The same applies to any really good SoulsLikes.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow is Bonfireside Chat going to end?\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe have a plan for ending Bonfireside Chat, and we’ve alluded to it before. \u003cstrong\u003eThis summer, we’re walking back through the whole series in the opposite order that we’ve covered it.\u003c/strong\u003e Each game will get an episode + appendix pair, and we’re going to talk about each entry in the broader context of the series now that we know how it ends.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo that means the order is as follows:\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBloodborne (July 2)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark Souls 2 (July 16)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemon’s Souls (July 30)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark Souls (August 13)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese episodes will have guests, and they’re \u003cstrong\u003ealready chosen\u003c/strong\u003e from our Bonfireside Chat After Dark tier backers. They are John Hurst, Mitch Benes, Randy Walker, and Kilo Pascal.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePrior to that, we’re going to cover the remaining soulslikes we’ve committed to covering. Namely, Let It Die, Nioh, and Hollow Knight.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll notice that this brings the entire podcast around full circle. We like how appropriate that feels.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Happened to Bonfireside Chat After Dark?\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe miscalculated when we added Bonfireside Chat After Dark to the Patreon. We had no idea what would happen with the series or the show when we thought that up. We’ll own that mistake, and we also want to make it right… and here’s how.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThose backers who would have been guests on Bonfireside Chat After Dark will instead guest on those final revisit episodes.\u003c/strong\u003e It feels right to get people from the community involved in the victory lap, especially if they are people who have supported us as much as those individuals have. We’ve spoken with them, and they’re cool with it.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you paid for a prompt or question on Bonfireside Chat After Dark, we will use your responses during those recap appendices.\u003c/strong\u003e Please look for a message in your email inbox toward the beginning of June.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat’s Replacing Bonfireside Chat?\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ve gotten a lot of suggestions about what to cover after Bonfireside Chat ends. People were pulling hard for games like the Witcher and Nier. We seriously kicked around the idea of starting up a show that chronologically examined the Resident Evil games. The Crystal Chronicles was on our Patreon milestone goals for a very long time (more on that later).\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStarting up a new show about a new series of games makes less sense than making big changes to Watch Out for Fireballs!, which has always been our flagship show. What happens if we broaden that umbrella, and make changes to the schedule to allow us to cover more games in greater depth?\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat’s it look like if the Witcher 3 becomes a game we could cover on WOFF!?\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou end up with something we’ve codenamed WOFF! 2.0. But we likely won’t use that name in the future.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWatch Out for Fireballs! is Going Weekly\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWOFF becoming more frequent is a huge deal for us. And here’s what it looks like.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe first 3 weeks of each month (or the first 4, if it’s a 5 week month) will feature full episodes about short or medium length games, or episodes about portions of larger games (like we’ve done with large games in the past). The last episode of each month will be a collective listener response episode about all of the games we covered that month.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis kind of grouping will also let us do themed batches of episodes each month. Hypothetically, this is what “Weird NES Sequels” month would look like.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeek 1: Super Mario Bros. 2\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeek 2: Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeek 3: Zelda II: The Adventures of Link\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeek 4: Feedback episode about all three of the previous games.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOther ideas for themed groups of episodes would be a long look at the Wolfenstein series, going from Wolfenstein 3D to the 2008 reboot to Wolfenstein: The New Order. We could also do a Resident Evil cleanup month, with Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Code: Veronica, and Resident Evil 6. We aren’t promising that either of those will happen right away, but they’re examples.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf this sounds familiar, it’s similar to how we’ve treated JRPGs and CRPGs in the past. The Neverwinter Nights II series of episodes was a test model for this, and we think those episodes turned out very well.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLooking at the math, our old “tick tock” model of release would usually result in 26 episodes per year. Our multi-part episodes have made us come out with slightly more than that (for example, we released 30 episodes in 2016). \u003cstrong\u003eUnder the new model, you would get 40 mainline episodes per year.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere are a few things that will happen as a result of this:\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe will cover more “small” games. The Pac Man 2 episode in the Duck Bundle was a test for how this would work.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSplit episodes will go away (namely, single episodes that feature two games, like the Starflight/Toe Jam \u0026amp; Earl episode, or the Brawler special).\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe’ll be a little more liberal about splitting meaty games into multiple parts (example: Metal Gear Solid 2 is on our docket, and we’re splitting that 12 hour game in 2 because we will have a lot to say).\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe’ll have to be more comfortable with some episodes being “only” 60-90 minutes, as we cover some shorter stuff.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things that won’t go away are \u003cstrong\u003epoll episodes\u003c/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eexecutive produced episodes\u003c/strong\u003e. Those will be folded into the model, and remain unchanged. That means one of those will happen each quarter (or four times per year).\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother consequence is that listener response episodes will be much meatier since they’ll cover 3 or 4 games, and there will be a more consistent deadline… namely, \u003cstrong\u003eresponses about all of the games should come in by the 15th of each month.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWOFF! Will Change Schedules in August\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe changes to the WOFF! schedule will begin August 3\u003c/strong\u003e, with Final Fantasy IV month.

Gary made this decision to free up more time for working on his book, and playing things for the new iteration of WOFF! We’re really excited to have Brayton take over his seat. Brayton is hilarious, and has different taste in games than Gary does, so you will see them cover different stuff. Gary will still come back for specific games (think Thimbleweed Park or Torment: Tides of Numenera).\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFile Under Water has an end date.\u003c/strong\u003e Right now, it’s slated to end in late October. A show about R.E.M. was always going to be limited, because they only put out a limited number of albums. We currently have no plans to cover another band.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRadio Free Mid-World is a limited show as well.\u003c/strong\u003e Once we run out of Dark Tower books, related works by King, and related media (the movies, TV show, whatever else comes) we will end that show. Don’t worry, this won’t happen until 2019 at the earliest.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow is the Patreon Changing?\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe’re making some adjustments to the way our Patreon works, in order to reflect these changes to our show lineup. Chiefly (and logically), we’re getting rid of the $75 BSC Afterdark tier, and removing the “get a prompt on BSC Afterdark” from the $10 tier.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe are also removing The Crystal Chronicles as a milestone goal.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth of these will be replaced by something else in due time… Look a little further down to see what we’re thinking of (and to see how you can help).\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe’re also making two other big changes.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEarly Release is getting better.\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffective around the end of June and the beginning of July, episodes on the Early Release feed will come out a week early, instead of a day early.\u003c/strong\u003e We are also raising the price of this perk to $5 per month. This is more valuable, we think, and it brings us closer in line with other Patreon campaigns that offer a similar perk.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe’re going to make a great deal of these changes in the middle of June, and the “1 Week Early” change will happen for any episode that would have normally come out in July.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe only show this doesn’t apply to right now is The Level, which will come out 1-2 days early because of how that show is produced.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWe’re changing the Slack access tier.\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffective sometime in June, Slack invites will only go to backers at $5 and up.\u003c/strong\u003e If you already have access to the Slack team, or access the Slack team before the change is made, then you will be grandfathered in. We will not revoke Slack access from people.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe’re doing this for a couple of reasons. The community is getting very big, and it’s requiring more work and more touch than it did in the past. This will help control that. Additionally, it will reduce the number of drive-bys that happen, as $5 is a bigger investment.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSomething to note is that the $1 tier will not go away. Those small donation amounts are huge for us. You will still get access to incidental content, and access to Watch Out for Fireballs! polls.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are some open questions?\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEverything laid out before this paragraph is a decision we’ve already made. We feel like they are good decisions, and we wouldn’t shake things up so much if we didn’t feel so secure in how things are going.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut each big decision is accompanied by multiple smaller decisions. And that’s why we’re running this survey… to gather useful information from you, and to hear your thoughts and ideas about how the network can get better at giving you things you want.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere are some questions that have gone unanswered, and we want your help.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s a good replacement for the $75 tier?\u003c/strong\u003e That’s a lot of money to give, and we want to make it awesome. Would you want to guest on an episode? Dictate a piece of media for a Try This type show? Dictate the subject of some video content like Let’s Plays?\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat kind of new milestones goals would you like to see?\u003c/strong\u003e Should we do another live show each year? Should we hold a virtual DuckCon? Include more guest episodes on WOFF!?\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo one-off milestones interest you?\u003c/strong\u003e Not every milestone needs to be an ongoing commitment. Maybe we could do some actual-play tabletop one-offs. Maybe we could set a goal for Gary and Kole to stream some co-op games.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd there are other questions we haven’t even thought to ask. We want to know what would make you a patron if you aren’t one already. We want to know what stuff we do that you care about, and we also want to know what you don’t care about.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe’d also like to hear how you feel about the changes to our biggest shows. We’ve already made our decision about ending Bonfireside Chat, but it’s worth understanding how this will impact your listenership and patronage.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSomething we don’t want to hear is “Stick to Games” or “Stop mentioning politics.” We also don’t want to hear “Be more positive.” Save yourself the time and hassle if that’s what you were going to say.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWe’re holding a survey.\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter this novella of a post, we want to know what you think. Use the button below to fill out the survey. It will be a huge help to us. Completing the survey and selecting “Yes, I would like to enter the contest” will enter you for a chance to win a $20 Steam gift card (we are giving out three of them). We are especially interested in your responses if you’re not already a Patron of Duckfeed.tv on Patreon.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA link to the survey: \u003ca href=\"https://duckfeed.typeform.com/to/LDPTnY\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ehttps://duckfeed.typeform.com/to/LDPTnY\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThank you so much for reading this, if you’ve gotten this far.

The former is an essential play, the latter is dull garbage.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLINKS OF NOTE:\u003c/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[ID on SMB3](\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj4HJkeQSg0\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ewww.youtube.com/watch?v=cj4HJkeQSg0\u003c/a\u003e)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Moraff\u0026#39;s World](\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPaEx35bWSA\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ewww.youtube.com/watch?v=uPaEx35bWSA\u003c/a\u003e)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Errant Signal on Doom](\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyOF2RsO3ck\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ewww.youtube.com/watch?v=TyOF2RsO3ck\u003c/a\u003e)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[The Wrestler](\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61-GFxjTyV0\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ewww.youtube.com/watch?v=61-GFxjTyV0\u003c/a\u003e)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Terrence Trent D\u0026#39;Arby](\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynIHsHYaig0\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ewww.youtube.com/watch?v=ynIHsHYaig0\u003c/a\u003e)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[What Brownian Motion Actually Is](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownian_motion)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e","summary":"Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross walk backward and talk about Commander Keen in \"Goodbye, Galaxy!\"\r\n","date_published":"2015-04-02T14:00:00.000-04:00","attachments":[{"url":"https://aphid.fireside.fm/d/1437767933/99480f72-818c-40fb-b60e-e4151233300f/2aa26d29-b586-48f7-9754-9761099d566f.mp3","mime_type":"audio/mpeg","size_in_bytes":76502537,"duration_in_seconds":6301}]},{"id":"tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/197847977","title":"Extrasode: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare","url":"https://www.watchoutforfireballs.com/96e","content_text":"Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross read your responses to... well, some weird stuff, because nobody wrote in about Call of Duty 4 on time.\n\nLINKS OF NOTE:\n\n\n[Jan and Dean](www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_Qr6Ky1Lbg)\n[The Fabled Lands](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabled_Lands)\n[Wolf in White Van](www.nytimes.com/2014/09/26/books/…rnielle.html?_r=0)\n","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eGary Butterfield and Kole Ross read your responses to... well, some weird stuff, because nobody wrote in about Call of Duty 4 on time.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLINKS OF NOTE:\u003c/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Jan and Dean](\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_Qr6Ky1Lbg\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ewww.youtube.com/watch?v=x_Qr6Ky1Lbg\u003c/a\u003e)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[The Fabled Lands](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabled_Lands)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Wolf in White Van](\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/26/books/%E2%80%A6rnielle.html?_r=0\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ewww.nytimes.com/2014/09/26/books/…rnielle.html?_r=0\u003c/a\u003e)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e","summary":"Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross read your responses to... well, some weird stuff, because nobody wrote in about Call of Duty 4 on time.\r\n","date_published":"2015-03-26T17:00:00.000-04:00","attachments":[{"url":"https://aphid.fireside.fm/d/1437767933/99480f72-818c-40fb-b60e-e4151233300f/4820de83-277a-4cea-9eed-75555e828cb5.mp3","mime_type":"audio/mpeg","size_in_bytes":22029064,"duration_in_seconds":1810}]},{"id":"tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/196659001","title":"Episode 96: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare","url":"https://www.watchoutforfireballs.com/96","content_text":"Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross noscope with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.\n\nCall of Duty has become emblematic of AAA bloat.

Eternal Darkness revels in playing mind games with you, and we’re all the better for it.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLINKS OF NOTE:\u003c/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShub Niggurath: \u003ca href=\"http://www.yog-sothoth.com/wiki/index.php/Shub-Niggurath\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ewww.yog-sothoth.com/wiki/index.php/Shub-Niggurath\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShoggoth: \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3YAdWKeHQc\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ewww.youtube.com/watch?v=T3YAdWKeHQc\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Master: \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-UUTGamYp8\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ewww.youtube.com/watch?v=6-UUTGamYp8\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSqueaky Voiced Teen: \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuaZbcAgyeo\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ewww.youtube.com/watch?v=kuaZbcAgyeo\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuster’s Chair: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_on_a_Li…ted_Development)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoundabout: \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tdu4uKSZ3M\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ewww.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tdu4uKSZ3M\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHastur: \u003ca href=\"http://www.yog-sothoth.com/wiki/index.php/Hastur\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ewww.yog-sothoth.com/wiki/index.php/Hastur\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanity Effects: \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSXcajQnasc\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ewww.youtube.com/watch?v=RSXcajQnasc\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e","summary":"Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross lose their shit while talking about Eternal Darkness.\r\n","date_published":"2013-10-30T20:00:00.000-04:00","attachments":[{"url":"https://aphid.fireside.fm/d/1437767933/99480f72-818c-40fb-b60e-e4151233300f/a83f27bf-3314-4367-963f-4a0796b28674.mp3","mime_type":"audio/mpeg","size_in_bytes":70241978,"duration_in_seconds":8675}]},{"id":"tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/160543331","title":"Episode 58: Fun Centers","url":"https://www.watchoutforfireballs.com/58","content_text":"Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross roll their experiences with fun centers up a gentle slope and into a small hole, rewarding them with points and (hopefully) tickets.\n\nTwo grown-ass men return to conquer the Valhalla of their youth.
