Weekend Bonus Stage (March 2026)

 

Welcome to Bonus Stage! This is where you'll find the links to as well as show notes for the ROM hacks and audiobooks featured in each episode during the month. If you have any comments, feedback, recommendations or suggestions for future episodes please leave all that in the comments section for this post and not the comments sections of the other platforms where the episodes will be posted, because it would really suck if you left your stuff there and *Poof* that platform is either gone, turned to crap or my account there is deleted haha (I'm trying not to jinx THIS site 😅). I hope you enjoy this series, thanks for watching and listening.

(Since YouTube will block the regular version of WBS I found a nice little workaround - the YouTube version won't have the audiobook audio, instead it'll have music. Mostly old school South African house and dance. Shades of House of Sounds :) I thought it would've been a waste to not have WBS on the YT channel and hopefully this is fair alternative, people can still check out the regular version on BitChute or the Internet Archive)

(I had this idea of making the Sunday edition of the YouTube version of WBS feature anime and game songs, so I put that together and wouldn't you know it - the video gets completely blocked. Had hoped that would fly but nope and this is why I stopped uploading Counting Electric Sheep on YouTube. So I'll re-do the video but with the house and dance tunes since that worked for Episode 3. Those of you who want to check out this anime/game edition of Episode 4, I'll upload it to the Internet Archive)
