The Yakuza 6: The Song of Life Review is up early for Contributors and above!

THE YAKUZA 6 REVIEW IS HERE!

This one took a bit longer than expected thanks to a combination of me continuously adding more and more onto it during production and currently being in the middle of trying to sell a house, but this absolute monster is finally ready to go!

This is the biggest Yakuza video I've done so far, and just one of my biggest videos in a while beyond that, so I really hope you guys enjoy. I'm personally really happy with how it came out, and I'm thrilled to fi...

Quick update on the Yakuza 6 video:

Okay, so it's been about a week since the last update, and a lot has happened since then.

The script has been written and finalized, all of the voiceover has been recorded and spliced, and I currently have about 10 minutes of the video edited. I estimated last week that the video would be somewhere around 30 minutes long, but now that everything has been nailed down, I had a lot more to say than I thought I did even a week ago, and we're now looking at a solid 55 minute video.

So ...

Update on the big project:

Alright, so after about a week without any updates, this probably comes as a surprise to basically no one, but the next video is Yakuza 6: The Song of Life!

I just finished playing through this one last night in a playthrough that took just over 40 hours, and I started on the writing this morning. I'm not sure how long this video will end up being, but I have a lot of things that I want to talk about with this one, so I can pretty confidently assume that it will be more than 30 minutes ...

The Resident Evil 7 DLC review is up early for Contributors and above:

THE RE7 DLC REVIEW IS HERE!

This one ended up being a way bigger production than expected, as I didn't realize going in just how deep and varied the DLC experiences of this game were. There ended up being a ton to talk about, so rather than my 30-35 minute estimate, the video ended up being a bit shy of 45 minutes. It's definitely worth it to give every piece of content here its time to shine, and I'm really happy with how it came out overall.

As always, I hope you guys enjoy, an...

Here's what we're working on next:

Alright, so I'm a couple days late on the update again, but I swear it's just because I've been working away at the next video.

Next up on the schedule we have the insane DLC roster for Resident Evil 7. This game has a whopping 8 DLC's to cover, so the video is actually going to be pretty big. As of right now, I've already recorded through all of them and written the entirety of the script. I'm working through the voiceover today, but I'm currently expecting the video to be somewhere ar...

The Resident Evil 7: Biohazard review is up early for Contributors and above!

THE RESIDENT EVIL 7 REVIEW IS READY TO GO!

It's a little later than I expected to have it out, but that's mostly because I decided to make some additions to the video that brought it above the 30-minute mark 😅

I've been super excited to share this one with you guys for a while, and now that it's finally done, I hope that you all enjoy it! We're nearing the end of the Resident Evil retrospective, and thankfully, we've got a pretty great string of games to cover while nearing the...

Here's what we're cooking up next:

Alright, the update is a little late, but here's what's going on.

THE NEXT VIDEO IS RESIDENT EVIL 7! I've been waiting to get to this game for a while now, as I've been super anxious to get myself out of the "action-horror era" of the Resident Evil franchise. Without spoiling too much of what I think about this one, I will say that I normally look at the Resident Evil franchise as having three eras. The classic era of RE1-Outbreak, the action-horror era of RE4-Umbrella Corps, and then R...

The Yakuza Kiwami review is up early for Contributors and above!

THE YAKUZA KIWAMI REVIEW IS HERE!

I've been slaving away at this one for a little over 2 weeks now, and I'm very happy to finally have it done (and pretty quickly considering the scope of the video if I do say so myself). I had a lot of extra time since I haven't been able to stream thanks to a recent vocal injury, so I really put a lot of effort into this one, and I genuinely feel like it's the best video I've made in a while! I'm super excited to share this one with you guys, and I ho...

Here's what we're working on next:

Okay, so I've been working on the next video a lot over the last week, but things have been a little hectic due to me healing from a recent vocal injury and trying to work around it.

The next project is Yakuza Kiwami though! I'm excited to have finally reached this one, as I'm a really big fan of the original PS2 title, and I've been itching to see how the remake is for a while now.

For where we're at right now, I've finished both my playthrough of the game and the script for the...

THE UMBRELLA CORPS REVIEW IS UP EARLY FOR CONTRIBUTORS AND ABOVE!

THE UMBRELLA CORPS REVIEW IS UP FOR EARLY ACCESS VIEWING!

This was one that I was fairly excited for due to the game's... colorful reputation. I had never really taken the time to check Umbrella Corps out for myself before, and I have to say, what I found was even more interesting than I had expected. I'm really happy with how this one came out, and I'm excited to finally share it with you guys!

This one won't be going public until Monday as I'm trying to keep things at least some...

THE METAL GEAR SOLID DELTA REVIEW IS UP EARLY FOR CONTRIBUTORS AND ABOVE!

THE MGS DELTA REVIEW IS HERE!

I've been working pretty much around the clock on this review for the last week and a half, and it's finally at a point where I feel ready to share it with you guys! I was obviously really excited for this one, as any opportunity to revisit Metal Gear was one that I would've jumped on, and now that the game is out, that opportunity is finally here.

I'm really happy with how this one came out, and I'm thrilled to be able to share it with you all. The p...

Quick update:

Okay, so since the last update on the MGS Delta video, I've written and finalized the script, gotten all of the voiceover recorded and spliced, and I've clipped out nearly half of the video. The full thing will be just shy of 30 minutes long, so for those who have been looking forward to this one, we've got a fairly sizable project on our hands.

Over the next few days, I'll be doing the remainder of the clipping, going back through to put the background music in and clean up the audio,...

Big update:

Okay, so like I mentioned earlier this week, I got a lot of the work done on the Umbrella Corps review already, but the Metal Gear Solid Delta review is taking priority now that it's finally out.

I finished my second playthrough of the game last night (one playthrough in the New Style, non-lethal. The other in the Legacy Style, lethal), and started writing the script this morning. I'm going to be working hard to get this one done in a reasonable amount of time, but I don't want to rush ...

Quick update on what's next (kind of):

Okay, so weird update, but bear with me.

Since finishing the Revelations 2 video, I've been working on a video for the most notoriously hated Resident Evil game of all time. Umbrella Corps. I've played through all of the game's singleplayer content, gotten some time into the multiplayer as well, finished the script, and am working on the voiceover now. However, this will not be the next video uploaded to the channel.

This is because on Tuesday, the early access for Metal Gear Soli...

The Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Review is up early for Contributors and above!

THE REVELATIONS 2 REVIEW IS COMPLETE!

This one took a couple days longer than expected to finish up thanks to some issues with the video's sponsor, but it's finally ready to be published! This is definitely one of the most interesting spinoffs the Resident Evil franchise has ever produced, and I'm more than excited to be able to share this one with you guys :)

The public release of the video is on Friday, so as always any sort of support on that would be greatly appreciated. I hop...

Quick update on the next video:

Okay so I was supposed to have this update up earlier in the week, but my girlfriend got really sick (up to a 102.7 fever, never seen one that high before), so I ended up forgetting in the midst of taking care of her.

Excuses aside though, the next video we're doing is on Resident Evil: Revelations 2, the follow-up to my favorite Resident Evil spinoff of all time. It's a really interesting project with a lot of great strengths as well as a lot of major weaknesses. The video is currently...

The Yakuza 0 Review is up early for Contributors and above!

THE YAKUZA 0 REVIEW IS FINALLY DONE AFTER NEARLY A MONTH OF WORK!!!

This was easily my largest undertaking since the Metal Gear stuff that we were doing last year, and I'm really happy with how this one came out. I really wanted this video to feel like something special considering the significance of Yakuza 0 within the history of the franchise, and I genuinely feel like this is the best video I've done on the series yet, so I'm thrilled to finally be able to share it with you guys! 2025-08-09 01:27:57 +0000 UTC View Post

The final update (hopefully):

Okay, so it's been a week since I last updated you guys on the Yakuza 0 video, and things have been moving along pretty smoothly. Things have been progressing a bit slower than usual since my dog recently had a surgery and needs a lot more care/attention than usual, but all things considered, I'm happy with where things are right now.

I finished writing that absolute monster of a script (it ended up being about 10k words), I've gotten about half of the voice work recorded and spliced up...

Quick patron-only poll for upcoming live streams:

I'm looking to start up a little bonus series of streams for something that I wouldn't typically play on the channel. What games would you be interested in seeing me play? (You can select as many as you like)

For those that might not already know, these streams happen daily on both my YouTube and Twitch, so feel free to stop by and say hi sometime if you haven't before :)

Quick follow-up on last week's update:

Okay! So I've finally finished Yakuza 0 after a solid 70-hour playthrough, and I've been getting a solid start on writing the script since then. I don't really have much else to share right now, just wanted to get another quick update out there so that you guys would know what's going on since it's been so long since the last one.

I'll still just be keeping my head down and grinding this one out until I have more to show, so I'll hope to have another more interesting update for you guys...

The big update.

Alright, it's about that time of the week that I let you guys in on what's next, and it's pretty much what everyone seemed to be expecting.

We're doing Yakuza 0 next! I've been grinding away at the game for AT LEAST 6+ hours a day all week, and am currently a little over 34 hours into my playthrough! The catch though... is that I just finished Chapter 7.... out of 17. So at this rate, it seems like it will be at least another 5 days before I'm done with the game, but that's likely more ...

The Air Combat 22 Review is up early for Contributors and above!

THE AIR COMBAT 22 REVIEW IS HERE!!

This was a really fun look back at the early history of the Ace Combat franchise, and one that was definitely very different from what I had expected it would be. If you enjoy the Ace Combat series at all, then I really think you'll find this one interesting, as it's genuinely just a bit... weird.

Any sort of support on the public release of this one on Wednesday would be greatly appreciated, and as always, I hope you guys enjoy the video! I'll h...

Here's what we're working on for next week:

Alright, so now that we got one cool preservation port for a former review series finished, who's ready for round 2?

This week I'm working on a review for Ace Combat 22, one of the arcade game predecessors to the Ace Combat series proper that recently got a new console port from Hamster Corporation! This is a really cool look into some of those old arcade machines that led to the creation of what would become THE badass fighter jet games, so it's a video that I'm naturally pretty excite...

The Armored Core Mobile 2 Review is up early for Contributors and above!

The AC Mobile 2 video is ready to go!

I'm a little late to the party on this one thanks to my ORC and RE6 videos being too far along when the Mobile 2 port dropped, but I'm finally able to share my thoughts on this one with you guys! This one is essentially a handheld version of Armored Core: Nine Breaker, which if you remember my thoughts on that one... you can probably already tell where this video is going. There are definitely some cool things to talk about here, and I'm very happy ...

The next video I'm working on is not one that I expected.

So I'm back at the grind working on next week's video like usual, but this one is definitely one that you wouldn't have thought was coming unless you keep your ear pretty close to the ground on these things.

We recently got another port from G-Mode preserving one of those old Armored Core mobile games, so our next video is one reviewing Armored Core Mobile 2! I've already finished playing through the game, written and finalized the script, and have just started working on the editing wh...

The Resident Evil 6 Review is up early for Contributors and above!

The Resident Evil 6 review is ready to go!

This one took a bit, and despite some monetization issues when I tried to put it up earlier today, it's finally ready to share with you guys! RE6 is obviously one of the most interesting games in the series to talk about due to its reputation, so I took a couple extra days just to make sure that I really nailed this one down. I'm really happy with how this one came out, and I'm excited to finally be putting it up!

As always, any sort of s...

Quick update on what I'm working on next:

Alright, this next video we've got coming up is a big one. Surprising probably no one, we're doing Resident Evil 6 next.

This is obviously going to be a pretty big video, as Resident Evil 6 has uh... a bit of a reputation. It took a bit to record through since RE6 is split into 4 different campaigns that are each 5-7 hours a piece, but as of right now, I've recorded the entire game, written and finalized the script, and am just getting started on voice work and editing tonight! This vi...

The Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Review is up early for Contributors and above!

The Operation Raccoon City video is done!

This was definitely an interesting video to work on, and one that I was looking forward to making quite a bit given the game's black sheep status among the Resident Evil fandom. I definitely have my opinions on this one now that I've played it, and I'm really excited to share my thoughts on it with you guys!

Speaking of black sheep, I have to get back to work on the next video... but more on that soon. As always, I hope you guys enjoy the ...

Quick update on what I'm working on next:

Alright so the next few videos in both retrospectives are going to be pretty interesting, meaning I'm pretty excited for just about everything we're working on for the next 3 months or so!

First up we have the next video in the Resident Evil retrospective, Operation Raccoon City. This game is infamous for being one of the worst titles ever released under the Resident Evil brand and after having played it... yeah...

This one's already pretty far along since my girlfriend and I play...

The "Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin!" Review is up early for Contributors and above!

The Ishin review is finally done! Thank you guys for waiting so long for this one to be ready, I just really wanted to make sure I nailed this one and I definitely feel more confident in this video than I have in any of mine since probably the Yakuza 5 review.

This game was super interesting to look at in so many ways, with the setting, narrative, combat, and side content all being some of the most unique from the series so far. I had a ton of fun playing the game, a ton of fun putting ...
