EXP Update - April 7th, 2025

Hello there! 

It’s Chris here once again, with another update on life at EXP. 

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 what’s coming soon (it's loads).

Who could that be? Read on to find out.

Records were once again sent tumbling over the past month as the Director’s Cut Edition of our episode on Escape From Tarkov clocked in at an eye-watering 1 hour 12 minutes - and only around 60% of that runtime was taken up by Jonathan sighing in exasperation at Dave’s frankly astonishing Greece/grease pun.

Agony & Ecstasy, an EXP Production

The Extended Episodes are also something that simply wouldn’t work without support from our Patrons - having their support means we can take the time to make those episodes as long as we like and not worry about how ol' Al Gorithm over at YouTube HQ feels about it.

We also loved the response to our episode on the Cursed Guns of Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, and it was great to be joined on Respec by Anton, the game’s Project Lead. As many of you will have seen by now, Anton recently made a little April Fool’s update to the game inspired by our chat on that very edition of the podcast, and rest assured we’ll be showing that to Jonathan ASAP.

Thanks again to Anton for taking part in Respec, we're hoping to have more guests on soon!

If you're wondering how that April Fool's update came about, you’ll have to listen to find out - Respec is available to all Patrons on the Early Access tier and above.

What’s next?

This Friday on Patreon, Jonathan’s got his archeology brush out to examine the whip-cracking fun of Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, followed by a look at Rebellion’s latest offering Atomfall next week. 

Surely this will make the curatorial part of Jonathan's brain itch...

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL.

We’re very excited to announce that our first video with our new expert Toby Capwell will arrive on Patreon on 15th April. If you’re not sure who Toby is, don’t worry, as this first video is a bit of an informal chat, and will serve as a perfect introduction to his work and expertise ahead of his first episode of Expert Reacts. 

As for that first episode itself–well, there was only really one game we could show him, right? Armour Expert Reacts to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will arrive on Patreon 22nd April, and in both Extended and Early Access editions as usual. 

That’s not all we showed Toby, either…

If the time isn't right to join us here, don't worry: the public editions will arrive on YouTube a week later, and if the Extended Episode tier ever does take your fancy, every extended episode we’ve ever put out will still be there waiting for you if you do sign up.

Cheers,

EXP x
