First time I've ever subscribed to a Patreon. Drew's a great guy, and his North Korea/Iceland videos are two of the best in Giant Bomb's history, and that's REALLY saying something.

Between Cloth Map and Noclip it seems we're getting a lot of great gaming content. Excited for Drew.

Wish I had money to back this. It's awesome seeing people break away from big game sites and do something with a scope like this.
The travelogue videos are some of the best content on Giant Bomb, so I have no doubt that this will be fantastic.

This is so great. Drew is fantastic, between him and Danny we're living in a golden age of game docs from all kinds of perspectives. Easy decision to back him on Patreon.

I will undoubtedly throw money at this. NoClip has been fantastic and I can only imagine how good this will be. Good luck, Drew!

The Iceland and Korea travelogues were cool as shit, glad to know he's going on that same line
Also perfect time to turn that meme money into Patreon Powerbucks

He's almost funded already! Best of luck, Drew, this looks like a great idea.
EDIT: Already funded at the lowest level!

This sounds really promising, good luck Drew!
So if I'm understanding the pitch correctly, this is a travelogue that'll peer into, for example, the wonderful worlds of: nordic lawn games late in the evenings of midsommar, after-school board game clubs in NZ, little old ladies sitting around smoky mats in Japan gambling at mahjong, an uncle's weekly bridge night, that sort of thing? I hope so!

He's a great guy but he was the least knowledgeable about video games at Giant Bomb (and that's saying something) so I'm not quite understanding why someone would pay to watch him make "explore the people, places, and cultures of the world through the lens of games".

Cloth Map is an awful name for this venture. But best of luck to him.

It sounds really awesome and I hope he pulls it off.
Looking forward to seeing what Drew has in store, sounds like a really cool project. Wishing him the best of luck!
Personally getting abit financially tired of all these Patreon's in gaming though. There's a subscription for everything these days, I have them coming out my eyeballs.

This seems really rad. I love all the new ideas coming into the gaming industry, pushing further than just basic review/news commentary (though I still love that stuff too)

This sounds crazy ambitious! Hope this works out, it sounds like it'll be really awesome if he can fund a few trips. I haven't watched the North Korea video he did but the Iceland and South Korea stuff for Giant Bomb was sweet.
I mean, hey, we don't know that this isn't a big scam, I guess. If you're really that worried, don't subscribe to the Patreon and see how the first few videos work out. I'm willing to give Drew the benefit of the doubt and then some on this, though.
