MatPat and Stephanie Patrick return to YouTube with PatChat and no weekly schedule

MatPat and Stephanie Patrick have launched PatChat, a new YouTube channel built around conversations about the subjects that interest them. Their opening video, "Hello (again) Internet", sets one clear expectation for returning viewers: the couple will upload when they have something to share, rather than commit to a weekly episode.
