Video Games Awesome is a Let’s Play series I’ve been watching for many years now. But previously, the people behind it worked on a comedy series called Awesome Video Games.
Before moving from Canada to Japan, Fraser filmed a whole new season of Awesome Video Games. Over five episodes have been released early to patrons in an unfinished state, currently without credits, and not for public viewing yet.
