Of course the thread about an all-woman gaming podcast has to have some smelly distraction post on page 1.
It sounds good, I'll give it a listen.

What's Good Games [Patreon Launch] (Andrea Rene, Alexa Ray Corriea & More)
- Thread starter Auctopus
- Start date
Andrea Rene? No ta.
She's the biggest corporate shill going. I remember her on the bonus round a few years back trying to defend Microsofts actions about used games.
What's the point of this? There isn't anything wrong with these tweets.
Also if you're going to throw the "corporate shill" tag around. Then you might as well apply that to anyone and everyone that has access to the industry.

I follow her on Twitter. She's with some company called VRV now, which appears to be a cable-style bundling of premium web content under a single fee. (You pay a set fee every month, and get premium access to multiple sites). Believe they work with Rooster Teeth & Crunchyroll.

This is bothering me more than it should, but how should I be reading the name? I feel like I'm missing something, because every time I say it, it just feels wrong.

Sounds like you need to donate more than 10 bucks then, unless you're sexist or racist too.

I don't see what's complicated about it... But there's a video in the OP where they say the name of the site out loud within the first 10 seconds.

Hold on. So if i'm not interested in their content, and therefor don't want to give them my money, i'm sexist and a bit racist? Cool, didn't know that about myself. Thanks.
OT: I've liked what i've seen from Andrea Rene, so i'll give it a shot. I barely watch podcasts anymore though, so not sure if i'll stick around.
So, asking as a non-native speaker, "what's good?" basically means what's up, right?

Huh? "What's good?" is a pretty common expression in the states, at the very least.

Thanks for the heads up. I just pledged and can't wait to see what they have in store.

Strange. Are they not live yet? Can't find podcast on Pocket Casts.

I'm at work, so I can't watch it. I don't know what is bothering me so much either, but it just really got under my skin. Must be one of those days.

First podcast is coming on Friday, apparently. They made a comment to their Patreon supporters that the RSS feeds will be updated and working correctly by Friday.

Good for them. I don't do Patreon or crowdfunding, but I hope they do well with this.

I don't really do the whole patreon thing if the main content ends up being available for free (albeit delayed) but I'll definitely give them a listen/view.

I'm not sure any of them have worked together before but I think they've all been friends for quite a while and have done PAX panels and the like before. (Andrea, Alexa, & Brittany were all on this panel at PAX East this year: Panel Link)

Steimer and Andrea are great, heard good things about Alexa Ray and Brittany as well. Will definitely listen to this.

What other multi-female Youtube gaming channels are there? Only coming up with Geek Remix off the top of my head.

I don't understand needing money for podcasts. Not just a swipe at this show, but others who ask for donations to do it. There's really nothing expensive about doing a round table chat show

This is great! I'm a big fan of Andrea Rene, it'll be great to hear her on a regular podcast. Alexa is great too. I know who Steimer is, but have never watched/listened to any of her stuff. For awhile I followed Britney, but her style/personality was a bit too gonzo for my personal tastes.
Overall though, really excited for this, can't wait to check out the podcast.

Ignoring the weird idea that NOT donating money to random strangers on the internet is somehow bigoted, how is it racist not supporting 4 white women?

Pretty sure that poster just making fun of "sjws", don't put too much thought into it
On topic, will definitely check out the first podcast! Cool to see more people going this route

I liked Andrea Rene whenever she was on Weekend Confirmed. Probably won't donate but if it's free and legal to view the final output, I'll give it some support. I always thought she was funny and seemed more like a normal person I'd see in the real world than a lot of the other cast.

I'm subscribed to MissClicks although it's a shame they don't play as many videogames

They mention in the video that they're not all based in the same city (so it's not a round table show, and doing it that way on even an occasional basis would require money), and that the Patreon isn't really for the podcast but for additional content on top of the podcast.
I don't know why they need $2k a month to add video to the podcast but I haven't looked very hard into their plans yet.
"In the early 2000s", though
Agreed, I'll be supporting this as soon as I get back to the office.
I think GB still needs more diversity but Austin and now they added a lady to GB East, are great first steps. Her name escapes me right now, but she loves Katamari so I'm all for her.
