After our last improv recording session, Nisha and I still had some prompts left in the hat so we decided to record a couple of extra games just for patrons. Enjoy!

This month's watch along is going to be myself and Karl watching Iron Man!
We'll be going live on January 18th at 7pm GMT. It will be through Discord, so make sure you're Patreon is linked to Discord so that you can get access.
Just a reminder that the watch alongs are a perk available to everyone at the friend tier or above, I'm currently looking into whether we can keep the stream for the future, but it may have to be just our audio and not ...

Following on from Fridays 'Nisha's Niche' video where I look back at old drawings when I was young, I ended up looking through more of my old work.
I found some more drawings that I did more recently (maybe 10 years ago), along with a mixture of VFX Photoshops, Concept Art and Photography.
All these being things that I really want to get back into again, hopefully this year!
But for now, please enjoy a look into some of my old work :)

2023-01-16 18:14:00 +0000 UTC View PostHappy New Year one and all! We hope everybody enjoyed the holiday season and you, like us, are gearing up for a great 2023.
We thought, going forwards, people may like to know what to expect from us so here is a January update about the channel as a whole and our individual projects.
USC AND PATREON
The changes to the channel and tiers have been implemented and we are currently figuring out the transition. We've yet to update our goals and there's still some...

Hi everyone, Lucas here!
I want to record a video in the vein of Family Feud but, to do so, I need input from you lovely Patrons!
Just like in the show, I have a survey for you all and Karl, Brad and Nisha will have to guess what the most popular responses in the survey are.
This survey will be live throughout January so that we can get a good number of responses, and then in February we'll record a video using all your results!
Thanks to everyone who participates,...
Just before the holidays, Brad and I returned to your screens with another Photoshop Challenge (possible name change coming soon) where we took 2 un-festive films and made them look suuuuuper festive. We gave each other objects to add into the Photoshop and set ourselves a 45 minute time limit to see who could come up with the best festive themed film!
But we can't decide that for ourselves so we need you patrons to vote who you think had the best Photoshop for that episode? Vote below!...

It's been, shall we say, a difficult year for a lot of reasons; not just for the USC team but also for the world in general. We've been very transparent about a lot of the issues we've been struggling with but there's also some things, personal things, that we haven't shared. Let's just say that I don't think any of us are sad to see 2022 go.
It's not often we decide to take a break but we've got a big year ahead of us so it only makes sense to clock off for a few days, enjoy the festiv...

Hey everyone, Lucas here!
In honour of the holidays, I asked everyone to join me in watching one of my favourite Christmas movies, Jingle All The Way. For copyright reasons, neither version can actually include the movie, so you'll have to have access to that yourself and sync up with us at the beginning.
All of our lovely patrons here get to enjoy the audio version of this here, but if for whatever reason you'd prefer the video version with a few movie stills,...
2022-12-23 13:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostWe're expanding! As announced earlier this week, we want to try and do more with the USC in the new year and a big part of that is giving patrons more for their money. To that end, we've redesigned our tiers here to fit in more with our new theme and to offer more to all of you!
Rewards currently available include once a month streams/movie watch-alongs, patron voting, credit and shout-outs in USC videos, bonus content and behind-the-scenes sneak peeks. We have plans to expand this even...
2022-12-23 11:51:06 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! We hope you're enjoying the holiday season =)
We have a big announcement to make regarding changes being made to Fact Fiend and the Untitled Side Channel from the start of 2023. If you're interested in the full breakdown of these changes, read on. Otherwise, skip to the end for the TL:DR. We know time is precious.

The voting results show that Shrek won that Poll! So I'll be using the script and adlibbing some scenes from it, which I am really looking forward to :)
As mentioned in the previous post, there are numerous methods I can use to get random words but feel I wanted to get more involveme...
2022-12-13 14:52:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! Nisha here!
So I'm planning on doing a new series. Something which has a similar feel to the 'Truth Devil' series but I will be using movies instead of Fact Fiend articles and will be 'ad-libbing' (I think that's the correct wording) instead of using Google Translate. If you've played Madlibs before, its basically that but I will be taking scenes from movies, choosing certain words to replace and will, hopefully, perform and edit them in an entertaining way!
So below...

2022-11-25 12:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostToday's Untitled Side Challenge had us trying to present our strangest or most unique item to all of you. Who do you think met the criteria of the challenge the best?
The forfeit for this challenge is that the winner will craft an object that the loser must display in their house.
The poll will be open for two weeks.
2022-11-24 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostHi guys! Back once again with another poll for my Pet Shops series, where I Photoshop pets into film posters or movie scenes.
If you want the chance to have your pet in a Pet Shops video, you can submit photos in the pet-shops channel on the Patreon discord. (Remember to post a clear shot of their face otherwise it may be unusable)
Vote below! :)

Thank you to everyone reading this for your continued support! As transparency is very important to the team, here is a full update of the upcoming changes to Fact Fiend and answers to any other questions you may have.
As we announced in our Fact Fiend update video, we're shaking things up a bit by restructuring all future content on the channel into categories. Along with the videos you're all familiar with come some new types we're experimenting with. Here is a bit more information ab...
2022-10-17 23:44:40 +0000 UTC View PostSo for the Untitled Side Channel I want to do a video (or maybe a couple of videos) that are Halloween themed!
For this one, I wont say what the video is going to be about but down below are a few options where you can vote what the main aspect of the video is going to be!
Happy spooOOooOOky season!
As always, thanks to all you for your support!

It's rare that all four of us are in the same location so we thought it would be nice to share this screenshot from an upcoming video.

Big recording session today! Thought you'd all appreciate a candid behind-the-scenes snap.

Tomorrow, Karl, Nisha, Lucas and I will be getting together in person to discuss the future of the Fact Fiend channel and to record some new content. It would be helpful going into this discussion to hear some feedback from you, our viewers, as to what you think of the recent editor-hosted videos as well as your opinions on the content we produce as a whole.
We've honestly been having a lot of trouble figuring out what people like and what they don't like. YouTube comment sections, whil...

For anyone that doesn't know (because I always forget to plug it) I have my own personal channel where I act like an idiot and try to make videos out of it.
My current ideology for the channel is that "you can make a video out of anything" and I try to prove that by doing whatever I feel like and saving it in the edit.
I took a long break from making videos while I was moving back to Sheffield and this is my first video after that break. There's also a big backlog of random videos...

In order to loosen up during our first recording session, Nisha and I shot for over an hour. We've taken some of that unused footage to make an extra video just for Patreon. Enjoy!

With so many people coming forward to support us over this weekend, we have smashed our original goal of 1000 Patrons. With the channel going in a slightly different direction at the moment and with Karl taking a break, we're unlikely to be able to fulfil the 950 Patron reward in its current form. We can, however, fulfil the 1000 Patron reward - Green Morph Suit Karl!
A Fact Fiend video with Karl wearing a full body green morph suit will be published within the week. We hope it li...

After setting up the Discord I have received some great pet photos from you guys, which I can include in this next instalment.
