Side by Side was a video series on local multiplayer games. After ten years, it has come to an end.
In this video, I walk through the history of Side by Side and explain why there will be no more episodes.

What a shame! My wife and I enjoyed Side by Side a lot, and we’ve played quite a few of the games you featured on the show. We always watched it [drum roll] side by side, so you can add at least one more previously incognito true fan to your count. 11 true fans, maybe not enough to make it all worthwhile, but we are very grateful for your efforts. Thank you, Joel and Gregg! <3
Aww, that’s lovely to hear Dan! Thanks for letting us know 🙂
Thanks to you and your other half for following us over the years Dan! I never tried calculating the number of “true fans” again as that way leads to sad panda thoughts – chasing stats makes everything not fun. So maybe we were up to 20 true fans by this point and then I wasn’t thinking 1 view = 2 people so that changes everything.
