2022 is dead, long live 2023
2022 is over! The year feels like it's flown but looking back January also feels like a lifetime ago.
I want to start off by saying a big thank you to all of you for watching, chatting and enjoying the streams. You’re all welcoming, positive and make jokes I wish I'd thought of myself. Thank you for all of your generosity and kindness, you keep the channel going and have allowed us to do a lot of fun things like the recent LEGO stream.
We have achieved so much! 4,000 followers and 4 somewhat-running Youtube channels – the VODs being the hot new thing recently. The CBT family has also expanded as we adopted our lovely greyhound, who has added so much to our lives both off stream and on.
I hope that 2023 will be a great year for us all. We have some great games coming up and some great plans for the channel this year and I'm looking forward to seeing what we achieve!
For now please cast your eyes below to look at the games we have played in 2022 and how these game ranked in the CBT Game of the Year awards.
