Update on the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Review:

Not much to really report quite yet, but just wanted you guys to know that the project is in fact alive and progress is being made.

I'm still playing through the game, currently sitting at 46 hours of playtime and 38% total completion. As far as where exactly in the game I am, I just finished Episode 23, so I've probably got another 2-3 days of just playing through the game to go. I've been taking my time to really see all of what the game has to offer on a first run and experiment with...

The Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Review is up early for Contributors!

A video done in less than a week? Feels like it's been months since we were working on a schedule like this!

Anyway, it's ready to go nice and early, and I'm really excited to share it with y'all! I had some expectations going in, and the game ended up being exactly what I had expected in some ways, but pretty much the opposite in others...

The public release is on Saturday morning (extra day delay to avoid Elden Ring DLC launch day), so as always, any support on that is greatly ...

The Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Review is in the works!

I've been working on the MGSV: Ground Zeroes review for a few days now, and things are coming together pretty quickly. The script is already finalized, I have most of the voiceover recorded, and I've just gotten started on the editing today! This will be a shorter one (shocker), with it currently looking like it will be somewhere around 25 minutes long, and I'm definitely expecting to have it out by the end of the week!

Anyway, more time writing means less time editing, so I'm gonna ge...

The Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Review is up early for Contributors and above!

Alright, so after a couple more small additions and a TON of issues with getting the video monetized, the Metal Gear Rising Review is ready to go! I thought I would be able to keep this one shorter, but alas, another 1 hour video. Thankfully though, this is easily my favorite video that I've done in a while, so even though it's long, I'm super proud of how it ultimately came out!

For such a short game, I took my sweet ass time making sure that I covered it in a way that does the source ...

Progress update on the Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Review:

Okay, so progress was a little slow for a few days, but things have really started coming together on the MGR Review! The script went through some major rewrites and additions, which definitely slowed things down for a bit since that obviously meant redoing a good amount of voice work as well, but it was definitely worth it!

I'm expecting the video to sit somewhere right around 60 minutes. Currently, I would say the first 33 minutes are roughly 90% complete, and the first 12 minutes are...

Next up: The Game of Memes.

The Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance review is in the works, and coming along pretty well so far! I've finished up my playthrough, written the majority of the script, and have just started on recording and splicing the voice over. I don't really have anything interesting to show off just yet since nothing is finalized at this point, but wanted to get a quick little update out and let you guys know what's going on.

I'll have another update for y'all in a few days where I should have a bet...

The Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Review is up early for Contributors and above!

Another long one, but hopefully a good one. I didn't expect to spend nearly 3 weeks on this one again, but Peace Walker had way more content than I had anticipated, so we ended up with another hour long video 😂

I had heard a lot of things about this game from both people who love it and hate it, and now that I've played it for myself, I have a lot to say about it myself. I'm super excited to finally be able to share this one with you guys, and I hope you enjoy!

The public relea...

Yet another update on the Peace Walker video:

My workflow has been a little weird lately, but the Peace Walker review is almost finished! I currently have a little over 56 minutes of the video fully edited, and once I wrap up the last little bit of that, I just have to mix the background music in and we'll be good to go! In terms of release timeline, I'm expecting to finish it up sometime during the day tomorrow and have it out in early access by the end of the night, and the public release is currently scheduled for Friday.

So if...

Quick update on the Peace Walker video:

Okay, so the Peace Walker review is a good bit into production now, with a mostly finished script (though I may add some things still) and about 9 minutes of the video edited so far! I'm expecting the video to be more than an hour long, as the script is sitting at 12,429 words without any of the possible additions being made. So it will probably be a little shorter than the MGS4 video, but not by a wide margin.

I'll have another update up in a few days, but until then, let's just hope ...

The Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Review is in the works!

I was going to wait until I had finished the game to give an update, but seeing as that's taking a bit, I'll just throw one out now. I'm near the end of the game, currently working through my Zadornov/ZEKE grind, and I'm hoping that I can get it finished up today and start working on the script!

Just wanted to throw a quick confirmation out there that I am working on Peace Walker next, and I'll have another update out in a couple days to give a better idea of how things are coming alon...

The Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Review is up early for Contributors and above!

After nearly 3 weeks of production, I finally managed to get the MGS4 video wrapped up late last night! I know that this game is generally seen as either one of the best or worst of the entire Metal Gear franchise, so I was really excited to finally put this one under a critical lens and see how it stacked up, as well as just share my own subjective opinions on the game.

Part of the reason it took so long was just the sheer amount of rewrites/edits the video went through to make sure it...

Last update on the MGS4 video (hopefully):

I've been plugging away at the editing for the video, and I currently have a little over 50 minutes of the video just about done! It's been a bit of a weird process this time around, as I'm editing the video in smaller chunks rather than doing full passes, which I'm mostly doing so I can record the script one section at a time and not destroy my voice doing it all in one day. I've got another 30 minutes or so to cut up, then I'll be going through to add the background music and touch up the a...

Quick update on the Metal Gear Solid 4 video:

I'm gonna keep this post relatively short, but the script has for the MGS4 video has been finalized, and it's an absolute unit. I started on the voice work for the video last night, and I'm currently expecting the video to sit somewhere around 90 minutes long, though I'm not sure of the exact length yet. Progress is being made, but due to the scale of the video, it's a bit slower than usual, and I'm expecting to still be working on it for another week or so.

Anyway, I'm gonna get back ...

Kept you waiting, huh?

It's been almost two whole months since the MGS3 review went up, but the Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Review is finally in production. I'm about two hours into the game currently, and with the amount of notes that I've already written down, it seems like this one is gonna be a doozy.

I'm gonna get back to grinding through it, and I'll keep you guys updated as I go :)

The Metal Gear Solid Mobile Review is up early for Contributors and above!

After a pretty speedy production process, the Metal Gear Solid Mobile Review is up early! This game was definitely not what I was expecting it would be, and considering that it's been abandonware for well over a decade, I know that there aren't many Metal Gear fans out there who have actually played it for themselves. I'm super excited to not only share my thoughts on this one, but also give those who have never experienced this game an idea of what it was like!

As always, the public ve...

The Metal Gear Solid Mobile Review is coming along...

In a nice change of pace, the MGS Mobile review is coming together quicker than most videos! I've completed the game, finalized the script, and I'm currently about halfway through splicing up the voice over. This will probably end up being the shortest video in the Metal Gear series so far, as I'm expecting that it will be about 15-18 minutes once it's finished, which is mostly due to the fact that the game is only about 2 hours long.

Anyway, I'm going to get back to working on it, and...

The Metal Gear Solid: Mobile Review is in the works!

Alright, so instead of doing one big update in the middle of the video's production, I'm going to try out doing a few smaller updates throughout the week for a bit.

After a bitch of a setup process, I've managed to get an N-Gage phone emulator up and running, allowing me to actually play Metal Gear Solid: Mobile for myself! This game was only available via download on N-Gage phones back in the day, so it was pretty difficult to find an archive that actually contained it as it's total ab...

The Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Review is up early for Contributors and above!

After an extra couple days in the oven, and almost a full day of my editor crashing on me when trying to export the final cut, the Portable Ops Review is finally done! There is an audio issue where the background music for the first minute or so is playing in the wrong pitch, but I figured that with how small it is, I would get it up for you guys rather than making you wait another few hours for me to fix it.

I'm excited to share my thoughts on this one with you guys, and I hope you enj...

Quick update on the Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Review:

So I forgot to write an update for the week...

Anyway, progress on the Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops video is a bit slow thanks to me having a pretty packed schedule this past week, but it currently looks like I should be finishing it up on Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.

I have a good bit to say about this one, so I'm excited to wrap it up and get it out to you guys! That being said, I'm just gonna keep my head down and continue working on it, so I'll let you all know when ...

The Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Review is up early for Contributors and above!

The final video of the Ace Combat Review Series is complete, and I'm super excited to be able to share it with you guys early! Thank you again to everyone who has supported this series, I'm truly blessed to have had your support throughout working on it, and I hope you guys still enjoy the rest of the Metal Gear Series, and wherever we go after that!

As always, the public version releases on Monday as well, so any support on there is appreciated :)

The Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Review Script has been written and finalized!

Okay so I had originally planned to do Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops this week, but since we only had one more Ace Combat game to go, I decided to just close it out so that we could totally focus in on Metal Gear from this point on.

This one isn't overly long or anything, but there are a lot of talking points that I've crammed into here, and I definitely have a lot of opinions that I'm excited to share here. I'm really going to try to have this one ready for Monday to get things back o...

The Ace Combat 3D: Cross Rumble Review is up early for Contributors and above!

THE SCHEDULE IS RECOVERING!

Managed to get this one cranked out in just a few days, and I'm super excited to not only be closer to getting back on schedule, but also to be able to share this one with you guys! This is the one and only time that Bandai Namco ever approved a remake of an Ace Combat game, and the results are interesting to say the least...

The public release is on Tuesday morning, so any sort of support on that is greatly appreciated! Aside from that, enjoy the video...

The Ace Combat 3D: Cross Rumble (Assault Horizon Legacy) Review is in the editing stage!

The Ace Combat 3D: Cross Rumble review is well underway! Thankfully, the game is incredibly short to play through, which helps a lot with trying to get the reviews back on schedule again 😅

Because of the game's length, it's not going to be a particularly long review either, and I'm currently estimating that it will be somewhere about 15-18 minutes long. Anyway, I'm gonna get back to work on it so I can try to have it done on time, so with that, I'll let you guys know when it's ready ...

The Metal Gear Acid 2 Review is (finally) up early for Contributors and above!

OKAY! I finally managed to wrap up work on the Metal Gear Acid 2 Review, and I'm super happy to finally have it done! I underestimated how much work would need to go into this one, and may have scheduled a bunch of extra stuff for the week... BUT IT'S DONE NOW!

I had heard that this was a big improvement over the original Acid, and considering I enjoyed that game a decent bit, I was pretty excited going into it! I'm excited to finally be able to share it with y'all, and I hope you enjoy...

The Metal Gear Acid 2 Review is in the works...

The Metal Gear Acid 2 Review is coming along, but much like the last one, it's definitely going to be a little delayed. We still haven't managed to totally recover from the MGS3 video, and this game was almost 20 hours long...

I'm working through the editing stage now, and I'm hoping to have it up by Tuesday, but it could get pushed back if I run into any extra hurdles. Anyway, I'm gonna get back to work, and I'll let you all know when it's ready :)

The Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Review is up early for Contributors and above!

The Ace Combat: Assault Horizon review is finally done! Once again, a pretty short early access window on this one, but you can thank the MGS3 and AC!D videos for that...

For a lot of people, this is seen as the worst Ace Combat game ever made, and I certainly have some opinions on it. I'm excited to finally be able to share it with y'all, and I hope you enjoy!

The public release is Monday morning as usual, so any sort of support on that is greatly appreciated! Aside from that, I ...

The Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Review has been written and finalized!

The time has finally come to cover the black sheep of the Ace Combat franchise! I have a lot to say about this one, and I'm going to try to get this one produced as quickly as I can so that I can share those thoughts. A quick thank you to all of you guys who contribute as well, as getting a PC copy of this game isn't very cheap nowadays since they don't officially sell it anymore, and your contributions allowed me to buy a fresh Steam copy of this bad boy.

I'll keep y'all updated if thi...

The Metal Gear Acid Review is finally up for Contributors and above!

Okay so after a short delay, the Metal Gear Acid Review is finally done! 

This is definitely one of the more interesting games I've covered on the channel, as I've never covered a spin-off that deviates from its mainline material so drastically. I have a lot of thoughts to share on this one, and I'm excited to finally be able to share it with y'all!

The public release is Tuesday morning, so any sort of support on that is greatly appreciated! Aside from that, I hope that you g...

Quick update on the Metal Gear Acid Review

I've been working on getting the Metal Gear Acid Review ready to go, but this might finally be the week where the Monday schedule needs to go out the window. Things were still about a day behind schedule at the start of this week while I was working to catch back up from the MGS3 Review, but what I didn't expect was that Metal Gear Acid took a little over 20 hours to play through, and the scale of the review is reflective of the amount of content in the game. I might be able to squeeze this o...

The Ace Combat X2: Joint Assault Review is up early for Contributors and above!

Alright, so I'm slowly getting back on schedule after the MGS3 review, and the Ace Combat X2 Review is finally ready to go!

I heard basically nothing about this game before playing it for myself, and I have to say, I'm not really sure why. I definitely think it's one of the more interesting entries among the Ace Combat series, and I'm excited to finally be able to share my thoughts with you guys!

As always, the public release is on Monday, so any sort of support on that is greatly...
