September 2019 Recap

The spooky month is upon us, which means September is gone and good riddance I say. What did we do last month?

[ PUBLIC ]

We posted 10 new Modern Rogue videos at a total runtime of 2h 7m 47s! We did some escaping videos, a little sprinkling of Trever, a smattering of HQ upgrades, and the big booms of our LPL collab and our 2-part pickpocketing series.

• MR212: Shoelaces vs Zip Ties  [Legend Testers] (7:42)
• MR213: Why Are Those Glasses Shaped That Way? (15:04)
• MR214: Can Lighters Be Used as Flashbangs? [Legend Testers] (9:20)
• MR215: Bypass 8 Locks in Seconds (with LockPickingLawyer) (22:45)
• MR216: 5 Unstealable Things That Got Stolen (12:12)
• MR217: Before vs. After $3,500 of Sound Treatment (12:38)
• MR218: How Pickpockets Steal Watches (13:37)
• MR219: What's in a Store-Bought Everyday Carry Bag? (15:26)
• MR220: How Pickpockets Steal Wallets (10:45)
  
• * You Won’t Believe How Much HQ Has Changed! (8:18)

We published our last The Bizarre Briefing from the old spare-bedroom studio, and have already recorded the first from HQ. Reminder that those get broadcast live on twitch.tv/nightattack at the end of each month, we usually post some kind of reminder in the discord.

• TBB: Saga - August 2019 (1:35:29)

[ ALL PATRONS ]

We've had an influx of some all-patron material, including a new (monthly?) show!

• MRPS // 001: Jason wants to commit a war crime. (1:24:07)
• Excerpt: Jason's Crazy Manacle (3:00) -- early access
• Behind the Scenes: EDC
• Behind the Scenes: Prison Food!
• Behind the Scenes: Martial Arts and Giardia

[ $5 PATRONS ]

A little light on First Pass Edits this month, about 3.3 hours worth, but when one of them features a guest who primarily only does very short videos, I like to think every minute in these FPEs is special.

• MR209-FPE: Cocktail Shrubs (1:00:21)
• MR213-FPE: Cocktail Glasses (47:23)
• MR215-FPE: 8 Lock Bypasses (59:29)
• MR219-FPE: Pre-Bought Everyday Carry (34:34)

Discord access is always a big reward for this tier, and as regulars are well aware, we had some chaos strike this past month. Our Patreon bot broke and all the roles went with it, so we had to open the gates to public chat a little bit. We've been assured that the engineering team from Patreon are trying to figure out what's going on, meanwhile, I've been manually adding patron roles to keep some semblance of order.

[ $30 PATRONS ]

Shirt surveys will soon be sent to all patrons in this tier from any month in Q3 (July, August, September) for the latest ionosphere / skywave design. Hoping to get the ball rolling on that in the next day or two, so keep an eye on your Patreon DMs. We always have to wait for what we consider the bulk majority of responses to come in, but it doesn't help us much if you respond 5 months later, or if you don't even respond at all.

[ HQ UPDATE ]

We have sodas in the fridge and desks in rooms.

[ COMING UP ]

Everything is subject to change of course, but this month we have more LPL stuff, prison food concoctions, more from Trever, and we're planning on recording a little bit of Halloween stuff next week. So hopefully that all falls into place by the end of the month.
