It has been questioned by people why the show is called "Ben & Tom", if there are more people in it than just Ben and Tom. This is mostly because Ben & Tom serves as the hub for all the other mini series that are meant to fill in blanks on the channel, for if an episode of a playthrough can not be uploaded on a day, the members could quickly find a small game to record and send out as an episode at the deadline for an episode's release date.

Even though One Hit is one of the oldest and most popular series on Ben & Tom, it is not the only mini-series the show has to offer. In a little less than two weeks, the channel had another mini-series to come up. Salt Factory was different from the rest of the series because it focused less on telling jokes over unedited gameplay, like One Hit or Ben & Tom, and more on getting angry with the game. Salt Factory was quite an achievement for the channel, gaining more views than the average video on the channel. The series only featured one person, opposed to the previous two-person formula, so it had more room for Alden, the series main member, to get mad at the game without being distracted by others. The series' first two episodes were released within two days of eachother, and the behind the scenes of the first episode was released a few days after. The series on the channel began to grow at a rapid pace, with more of them popping up the more videos that were released.

Eventually, more and more episodes of One Hit were released on different games. Salt Factory caused Alden to become a more prominent member in the show, as well as being featured in more series down the line. One more series appeared after though. It wasn't as big as Salt Factory or One Hit, but it was a little segment of the channel called "Bootleggers", given the name when Tom and his friend Nick were planning on making a series where nick plays old or bootleg games. The first episode was on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game from 1989, and was shorter than the normal video on the channel.
