In for sure. Good luck Drew! Can't wait to see what you do.
I don't subscribe to any Patreon actually.
I think Drew has a big enough history and breadth of work to base a decision on if you want to pledge towards his Patreon. You know what to expect.

i won't contribute unless he gives us a meme a month
Pretty funny someone actually agreed with your joke post
Anyway, good luck to Drew, this sounds a perfect idea for him!

Subscribed because of Drew, but I wish Patreon offered options beyond the pay-by-month plan.

The possibilities are endless.
Well I've seen his previous work so I feel like he'll come through with this?
No need to call Patreon supporters sheep.

I look forward to seeing him play a gameboy in rural Mongolia

Except we're familiar with the dude for years, and we've seen him make similar travel content on Giant Bomb that's been great.
Also, it's weird when people judge others on how they spend their hard earned money. I'm willing to back good ideas because tried-and-true is everywhere.

I wasn't trying to say Drew would cover North Korea exactly the same, I just mentioned that it was a slight worry. The way he was talking about North Korea on the livestream made it sound a bit like puppies and rainbows (we're all just people who can all come together over games!), and that's what worried me. I'll go watch the North Korea video so that I have something more to go on.
Generally, I really like Drew, and I think the Iceland video was great. I would trust him with most travel videos no problem, and I think there's a decent chance I'm worried for nothing.

I have 8 years of 'seconds' to know what type of person and content producer Drew is. That's more than enough.

Best of luck Drew.
Will miss you a lot on GB but this concept sounds very interesting.

Some of you people are incredibly cynical. Drew Scanlon might be the one person I would trust to do something like this right. This seems fascinating, and if I had the money I would absolutely donate.

The cheerier Bourdain of video games, eh? Cool, wish him the best.

Seems on track to be much higher than that, even.

I'm too broke-a-dope to contribute, but good luck to Drew regardless!

Is 5k really enough if he is self employed? I guess it depends on where he lives.. but it doesn't sound like there would be anything left after travel expenses.
Strange that there aren't more Patreon goals.

Surprised no one thought of "Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, but for games" a long time ago. Looks cool.
There are, the next one is at 8k

He doesn't have to know everything about the stuff he's going to cover and discover. This isn't a new format for a show. He's acting as the vessel by which we learn about stuff we might not necessarily know about. He just has to know how to properly communicate and ask the right questions.

What time is it?
You are probably used to looking at Kickstarter campaings as this confused me too. There are next and back arrows that show more goals.

Drew Scanlon is the Anthony Bourdain of video games

I imagine the initial conversation was similar to this at the Giant Bomb office when Drew came to the guys with the idea.
Good luck to Drew. I think it's a pretty amazing idea.

"Cloud Map launches immediately!
With this level of funding, the dream becomes a reality. Frequent, high-quality projects that expand our perception of the world and its cultures, inspire us to explore, and foster a sense of global community."
Typo?

What a stark contrast to the JonTron debacle.
Good to know that for every shithead in this industry, you've got genuinely awesome people like Drew who choose to eliminate ignorance rather than propagate it.
What if "Cloud Map" is Cloth Map but like... on the cloud?

So excited. A perfectly "Drew" idea, and I wish him well! That Iceland video was :chefkiss:, and I think about his description of North Korea whenever they pop up in the news. Backed with enthusiasm.
He's still streaming live right now: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_6gVNVQOgq6MGDdt3h8HQ/live
