Jamison's June Update!

Hey everyone, Jamison here. It was a pretty quiet May from me, mainly because I was away for almost two weeks on vacation and because, as Joe mentioned, the content drought is in full effect. 

Anyways, I am back and getting into the swing of things again. We've got some larger summer plans that you'll hear about soon but I wanted to drop in and give a little update for what to expect from me for June. 

First up, there'll be a pair of Halo Infinit...

Upcoming content and the dreaded quiet time of the year.

Hey guys Joe here!

I posted an update on our current situation on our Community posts on the Youtube page, if you missed it, a link to that is here: https://www.youtube.com/c/defendthehouse/community

The TLDR is I injured myself like an idiot so videos have been lesser and also we have been struggling to remain consistent with the games we currently have. We can't see the future so it's hard...

Deleted Scenes - Vol. 24

Two whole years of doing Deleted Scenes, craziness! It's another smaller episode but that shouldn't come as a huge surprise after another quiet month. Look for a little post soon giving an idea of what our next few months will be like - in short, it'll continue to be a bit quiet due to how all the main games have sort of fizzled out. 

Anyways, thank you all for the support! Again, I can't believe it's been two years of deleted scenes, what a wild two years. Much love to you all, ta...

Halo Infinite Mythbusters - Vol. 8

It's time for more Halo! We had some very successful recording sessions which have allowed for another main episode to come together. 

Look for it Friday!

  • Myth: You can be killed by your own rocket. (revisited)
  • Myth: If your weapon is stuck you can save yourself by pushing your weapon through a wall.
  • Myth: You can slow the momentum of a rocket by shooting it.  View Post

Halo Infinite Mythbusters - Vol. 7

After a bit of a hiatus while we dabbled with multiple 100-hour-long RPGs we're getting back into the swing of things which means more Halo Infinite Mythbusters again.

Vol. 7 will be hitting on Wednesday and then we should have Vol. 8 for late next week!

  • Myth: Moving backwards will slow down projectile speed. 
  • Myth: If equipment is stuck and then picked up, the player will be stuck.

Elden Ring Mythbusters (The Revisits)

It's time to dive deeper into some things we tested in the past and also to fix a few whoopsies we might have done.

  • Myth: The Ruptured Crystal Tear explosion can save you from fall damage. (Revisited)

Deleted Scenes Vol.23

Hey guys, bit of a shorter one this month. I had some time off due to Covid and Jamison did some solo stuff. We appreciate your support in times like this. It's nice to switch things up from the usual Halo and Call of Duty (while it lasts).

Your support means a lot, I hope all is well with you guys!

The Beauty of Elden Ring

Hey everyone, I finally saw Elden Ring to the end and wanted to do a little Beauty video for it because there are a lot of really amazing, painterly environments throughout the game. 

It's much easier to produce than the Horizon video thanks to it being on PC so  it's coming together pretty quickly. 

Look for it Friday!

We'll be getting back into some Halo Infinite Mythbusters recording next week. Aside from that, expect us to keep dabbling wi...

Elden Ring Mythbusters Vol.2

Hey guys, sorry for being so slow to get this one done, I went away to Scotland for a weekend and came back with Covid! So I have been off for over a week now. Feeling better so we are back on the Elden Ring train!

The Beauty of Horizon Forbidden West

Hey everyone, 5 weeks after release I've finally gotten to work on a beauty video for Horizon. I wanted to play through it all in my own time before working on the video and it turns out they made a 100 hour game so it took a long while to get through it. 

The original plan was for this to be live tomorrow but that's not happening because this video has ballooned in size and is now the longest Beauty video ever by a factor of several minutes. Twice as long as The Witcher 3's video!...

The Details of Halo Infinite - Vol. 1

Hey everyone, feels like it's been a minute since I've done a video but maybe that's just because of other stuff making it feel that way. Anyways, I wanted to do something different with Halo Infinite.

The mod tools allow me to do all sorts of things in campaign since there's no theater mode, including spawning enemies that ignore me which has allowed me to put together the first of hopefully a few Details of Halo Infinite videos. 

This one will focus on a handful of UNSC thi...

Deleted Scenes - Vol. 22

The year keeps on ticking away which means more Deleted Scenes are here!

It's a bit of a scrappy video for what was a scrappy month. Between the release of two 100-hour RPGs and the slow death of all multiplayer gaming, we've been ping-ponging around to all sorts of new games and that's going to continue into March. It's rather enjoyable, honestly. Trying content out in new, mainly singleplayer games, and trying new content out in general (especially for this coming month) is a nice way...

Halo Infinite Mythbusters - Vol. 6

Hey everyone, we've been buried in not one but two 100-hour-long RPGs and it's amazing and exhausting and oh god right we have Youtube videos to make oops. 

We've dragged ourselves away long enough to film some more Halo, this time for a proper main episode. We cover a fair few myths in this one that have been long asked for, a couple of which haven't been doable prior to our recent discovery of the Infinite Runtime Tag Viewer tools. 

Check the list below and View Post

Horizon Forbidden West Mythbusters - Vol.1

The single player Mythbusters just keep coming and yes, we will be looking into Elden Ring for sure!


  • Myth: You can kill an enemy with a Rock.

Halo Infinite Mythbusters - The Definitive Answers Special

Hey everyone, sorry the schedule has been a bit weird lately we've been busy with all sorts of stuff in addition to having juicy new single player games to sink into for the first time in what feels like years. 

Anyways, Halo continues! Thanks to an amazing person in our Discord, we learned of the existence of modding tools for Halo Infinite. If you watched our revived Halo 3 Mythbusters series in 2020, you'll be familiar with a lot of what can be done with it.

Halo Infinite Mythbusters - The Threat Sensor vs Vehicle Mystery Video

Hey everyone, this was a bit of a different video where we wanted to get knowledge from the community to try and help us solve the myth of whether or not a threat sensor impact can destroy a vehicle. It was done early and so it's available to view now for you lovely people!

It'll be live tomorrow.

Dying Light 2 Mythbusters

This game and video are a complete hot mess so this will most likely be a one off and not a series. This game might be the most broken one we've made in a video in ever.

Also Discord Patreons got todays video early so make sure you're in the Discord to get your eyes on stuff first!

Deleted Scenes - Vol. 21

It's already February, so that means more Deleted Scenes - yay! Big thanks for another month of support, especially now as we slowly watch every big shooter that isn't Halo fall apart at the seams (though Halo has proven fragile). We're having fun though! Sometimes... Here's hoping these games start to get better sooner rather than later. Either way, we'll keep making dumb videos in them for your viewing pleasure.

Warzone Pacific Mythbusters Vol.3

Making Warzone Pacific and Battlefield 2042 videos is giving me a midlife crisis so I would personally like to thank each of you guys for your support during these trying times. I have been sick this week so I am a little behind schedule, this video might be out tomorrow but the plan is for today!

Halo Infinite Mythbusters Vol. 4.5

Hey everyone, just a quick little update on Halo!

Coming on Monday, there will be a small Vol. 4.5 episode where we put to bed two of the myths that got a lot of comments from Vol. 4. Then, the week of Feb. 7th I'll have a big, full Vol. 5 for you! More on that later next week. 

For Vol. 4.5 we spent a ton of time looking into equipment impact kills and that takes up most of the video.

Hey everyone, just a little update on the next couple videos from me. 

First up, we have our 9th annual(!!!) massive discussion video where Joe and I break down our favorite games of the year. As always it's a 3 hour monstrosity - I've been putting together over the last week and will be done very soon!

The Best Games of 2021 goes live on Friday. Stay tuned to the discord as I suspect a link to it could be sent out as early as later today.

Halo Infinite Mythbusters - Vol. 4

Deleted Scenes - Vol. 20

Hey everyone, sorry this is a bit late. I am back from my holiday trip and am slowly getting back into the swing of things (and shaking off jetlag). This was a lighter episode after the behemoth that was Vol. 19 but it was a lighter month for content due to our breaks and I honestly wasn't sure what I was going to use in future content because I forgot to cut up deleted scenes stuff before I left!

Anyways, thank you all for an amazing 2021. I hope you had a great holiday season and are ...
