# Non Multiplayer Let's Play Content

While Couches n' Cables main content has always been multiplayer let's plays, there were a number of attempts at other types of content. Some stretched a very large portion of the channel's lifetime, and others were fads that only lasted brief periods of time. Here's all of the non-multiplayer let's play content uploaded to the channel.

### Singleplayer Let's Plays (May 2017 - March 2022)

By far the longest lasting content of the channel excluding multiplayer let's plays were single-player let's plays. Majority of this content was uploaded by Justin, however a number of lets plays from others existed as well. Majority of singelplayer let's plays were also left unfinished due to lack of enjoyment or demand. Ultimately, the members decided to stop uploading singleplayer let's plays to truly embrace the multiplayer nature of their channel. Here's a list containing all Singleplayer let's plays uploaded to the channel:

### JReviews (Aug 2018)

When the channel transitioned from the old Jukedama channel to Justin's main channel (which is currently Couches n' Cables), Justin initially wanted to make Jukedama Gaming a subset of his main channel's content. In order to achieve this, Justin also had two other series on the channel, one of them called "JRmysteries" (which would later be a side series) and "JReviews".

These videos were reviews on various video games and planned to contain many games from Justin's childhood. Justin also wanted to upload them on a weekly basis, however this quickly became impossible due to how long it took to edit and upload these videos. In the end, only 2 JReviews videos were released; one of them was a video showcasing various Nintendo ripoffs, and the other was a review on Bendy In Nightmare Run.

### Jukedama / CnC Compilations (Jan 2019 - May 2021)

The second longest lasting side content on the channel were monthly compilations; originally called Jukedama Monthly Compilations, and then renamed to Couches n' Cables Monthly Compilations when the channel was re-named. This series highlighted the funniest moments from multiplayer let's plays (and later included singleplayer let's plays) with fast paced editing and included character arts, memes, and other humorous edits.

In total, 23 compilations were created, with 21 of them from Jukedama and 2 of them during Couches n' Cables. Justin edited and uploaded all of the compilations besides the first episode from January 2019; which Kevin F. created. In addition, two compilations were created before this series; one of them for the old channel's 100th subscriber special, and the other was a bonus for the New Super Luigi Wii Dark Moon series.

While compilations were praised and enjoyed, Justin said the workload required for these videos became increasingly difficult, even when compilation moments were written down in advance during Couches n' Cables. Eventually, Justin decided to stop uploading compilations, however he said they are very likely to return in the future; maybe when the channel gains more popularity or someone else can help with the editing process.

### Side Series Videos (Feb 2019 - Aug 2019)

Once Jackson was invited to the channel in January of 2019, he mentioned how he would like to upload music album reviews to Jukedama. While this was far different from the multiplayer let's plays being uploaded, Justin invited the concept and gathered everyone else in the channel to release side series videos, which didn't have to fall under let's play content.

Here is a list of everyone's planned side series content:

\*Reece deleted his Reece plays videos from the channel so the exact number of videos is uncertain.

### Jukedama / CnC One-offs (Apr 2019 - May 2021)

Another fairly long lasting series on the channel were Couches n' Cables one-offs, previously known as Jukedama longplays and Jukedama one-offs. As the same suggests, these were videos playing though large chunks of games in one-off format not tied to any let's play. These videos were unscheduled and longer videos that could range anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, and sometimes included more than 4 members.

Originally, these videos were randomly played as filler content or when members were bored of current let's plays, but during the begging of couches n' cables, from March - May of 2021, the members recorded one one-off video per week and called them weekly one-offs.

Eventually, when the channel went into a large hiatus period from May 2021 to September 2021, one-offs were cancelled due to running out of ideas and stalling let's plays. When CnC returned, Justin stated that one-offs would not be a part of their regularly scheduled content and would happen every once in a while. That said, two more one-off videos were released afterwards.

Nowadays, one-off videos are still occasionally recorded for the channel, however they would be considered within the new "Cable Video" series name. A full playlist of past one-offs can be found here.

### Post Let's Play series era (Sep 2020 - Nov 2020)

After Covid-19 struck the world and sessions were forced to go online for a bit, Justin had a revelation and temporarily determined let's play videos were irrelevant and he wanted to try something new. This short lived era was known as the post-lets play era because no multiplayer let's plays were uploaded; instead, members would individually upload their own types of content which frequently involved the other members as special guests.

This was very similar to the original side series era, however there were no Jukedama let's plays and all content had to at least be video game related. Ultimately, due to the short lived nature of this era, some members never uploaded content and there were not many uploads. Justin ended up feeling like he had to pressure everyone to upload videos and felt burnt out from uploading in general, so he stopped uploading and went on a long hiatus from November 2020 till March 2021, where they would come back as Couches n' Cables.

Here is a list of all their side series content, including planned upload times and video counts.

### The Cable Cast (March 2021 - May 2021)

When Jukedama transitioned into Couches n' Cables, one main planned series was weekly podcasts talking about random stuff, whether it involved gaming or not. These videos were typically 30 - 60 minutes in length and contained 4 - 6 people, and also frequently included special guests who were not main members.

Despite being fairly easy to upload and not very time consuming, the series ended up getting canceled when couches n' cables had its first long hiatus. When they returned, Justin explained that these videos were awkward to produce with people constantly cutting each other off, diverting topics, not engaging in conversation, and not bothering to participate when they said they were available. In general, the podcast episodes were clunky and had very little views in comparison to the rest of their uploads, so Justin decided to cancel the series.

### Cable Videos (May 2022 - Present)

Currently, the only non-multiplayer let's play content on the channel is considered cable videos. This is a fairly free form series where any member from the channel can upload and participate, can include special guests, and does not need to follow a structure or pattern. Justin has stated the only requirements for videos in this series is they must include gameplay and multiple people, as they are a multiplayer gaming channel.

While Cable videos has had a slow start, the members have many plans for various uploads in this series. Justin has stated this will not follow a specific schedule but rather it will be an option for uploads outside of multiplayer let's plays for members who are interested.
