EXP Update - May 3rd 2025

Hello Patrons! 

Chris here, with another update from EXP HQ.

If you’re reading this, it’s because you’re a free subscriber to our Patreon - welcome!

Here’s what you might have missed from the last month or so, and some exciting stuff to look forward to in the near future.

Community Creations Episode #1 - submissions open!

It’s time for the first edition of our Community Creations episodes! This is your chance to get something in front of the eyes of our experts.

Whether it's a fun scene from a movie, a cursed creation of your own design, or some particularly cool armour that took forever to unlock, we want to see it! Grab some gameplay, a screenshot or a link, and send it our way. 

If you’re in the Extended Episodes tier or above, click the link below, and fill out the Google form to send your submission to us, and we’ll pick our favourites for the episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/127976702

Annual Memberships available now!

We’re happy to say we can now offer Annual memberships on Patreon! We’ve had a few comments and messages about annual memberships over the past few months, and we’ve basically been waiting for Patreon to give us the green light. 

If you'd like to change to an annual membership then check out Patreon's guide here.

Signing up to an Annual membership gets you a chunky 16% discount, which equates to roughly two free months of EXP each year compared to paying monthly. Nice! 

100,000 Subscribers!

This was officially designated 'Bananas' in our EXP Executive Branch chat.

In case you missed it, last week EXP hit 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. We’re absolutely blown away that we’ve managed to hit that number this soon after launching. It feels great to have built such a big audience and community so soon into our journey as a channel, and we’ve already ordered our big shiny silver play button from YouTube - look out for that in the background of Dave’s shot some time soon.

But, since we’re talking rewards, it only feels right that you get something in return for your support too, right? Well, we’re happy to say that our long-requested episode on Valkyria Chronicles will be launching this month, and will be an Extended episode that we'll make available to all on both YouTube and Patreon.

Finally!

What’s next?

Our episodes covering the winner of our retro (ugh) Call of Duty poll are out now: Expert Reacts to Call of Duty: World at War is available now in both Early Access and Extended flavours as usual - the Extended episode is another monster, clocking in at over an hour long!

Next week on the Patreon we’re doing something slightly different, covering a selection of games across a single franchise, specifically one that has a new addition coming soon. Any guesses?

If you’ve enjoyed our videos with Toby, then fear not - we have two more episodes with him coming soon, one of which will be launching on Patreon towards the end of the month (if the Emperor wills it).

Alongside the Community Episode and the Valkyria Chronicles bonus episode, we hope you’ll agree that there’s plenty to look forward to.

Thanks again for your support, and we’ll see you on the Discord.

Lots of love,

EXP x
