Newsletter: Things Are Getting Crazy!
Another two weeks have passed since the last email and we've had a few new subscribers to the list after I mentioned it in my 40k celebration video - a warm welcome to you all! I've also recently had a few new subscribers on YouTube as well since the Ill-Gotten Gains Part 2 DLC and surrounding videos. It has been a crazy fortnight but I'll be bringing it all together here. Enjoy :)
Ill-Gotten Gains Part 2
It's probably guaranteed that if you're reading this you've also seen my IGG Part 2 DLC fastest cars video, and the response on that has been ridiculous. It was shared around by a lot of people and it already has nearly 80,000 views! The T20 brought us a very interesting new vehicle too with a dynamic spoiler that, if broken, actually reduces car performance, and Rockstar have actually done a great job in balancing it with the other top supers. All covered in the videos below!

Keeping Up The Usual Stuff
Despite all the craziness I've managed to keep up to my promise of a video every day, and that also includes my usual series which give my channel some consistency. Tony makes his return to the channel with the most watched GTA Live video to date, BUN1T132 continues his adventures in GTA Live Racing, I have a pretty rotten time on Project CARS, and of course the Commercial vehicles class gets the testing treatment. I like being predictable :)

Criminal Mastermind Series Continues
It's a slow burner this series. Mainly because the videos are so long. It seems that they never get very many views initially compared to other videos but are constantly gaining views later as people are catching up and watching when they can. These two weeks were all about the Humane Raid heist but the best is still yet to come!

Humane Raid Finale - Criminal Mastermind - GTA Heists Live #10
40,000 Subscribers!
I suspect many new faces on this email list will have come from my 40k subscriber special video, but as I write this I'm actually closing in on 44k. Pretty crazy considering just under two weeks ago, the morning of the Ill-Gotten Gains Part 2 DLC, I had just passed 38k. It just shows what the last two weeks have been like and I for one am exhausted. Onwards and upwards though! There are still plenty more videos to make!
Avatar Story! - 40k Subs Celebration Video!
Thank you all so much for the support. I know I say it a lot but it's still never enough. I never take all of this for granted and to those of you reading this, thanks for signing up to this email list to get even more involved in what I do (and remember the second channel too). I appreciate it! :D As always let me know if there's anything you'd like to see with this and/or reply with whatever you want :)

From January to October 2015 I sent a newsletter every two weeks which linked all the videos I’d published during that time, helping those who signed up to not miss anything. It spawned from a CGP Grey idea/blog post and led to me creating one of the worst clickbait videos I’ve ever made. The short-lived newsletter did have some limited success with over 100 sign-ups, but eventually proved too much effort for the small benefits as social media and other ways to connect with viewers grew significantly faster. All of the newsletters I sent have been brought over here for archival purposes, as they formed a baseline for what would become the monthly Patreon blogs that started in September 2016 with “The Big Patreon Update”.
