Leg-Breaking - Battletech part 2

The Robot Jox return for another thrilling assault on people we have been paid to think of as enemies.

-CF

Mechcommander Failure

It's a new series! Do you like big mechs? If not, you should.

Far be it for me to tell you what to like, but you really should like big mechs.

Anyway, big mechs comin atcha, like Cleopatra. If she was driving a big mech.

It's Railwerkz! On Friday

I think this is episode 3. Honestly? Does it matter? I'm bimbling around in Satisfactory, doing things. Most notably making the steel mill.

The Colonel Reduced September 2025

Existential angst, the video.

-CF

Railworld gets Rail

It takes a mere 2 hours to find a blueprint I'm happy with. Or am I?

-CF

The Colonel Reduced - August 2025

What is going on? Let me tell you.

-CF

Railworld Returns!

So, you all enjoyed the snapshot of the railworld in Satisfactory, so rather than continue with that caper, here we go again. Episode 1 - the setup!

The Movie Mogul Hunt Concludes

The movie mogul game hunt concludes with two more contenders in today's show.

FInding my movie studio - Movie Tycoon

I'm on the hunt for a really great movie mogul game in order to make a full series out of it. In today's audition - Movie Tycoon.

The Colonel Reduced - July 2025 audio edition

It's a video in podcast form. Yes. I'm also annoyed because it means FORMAT C: is the only remaining course of action. I've eliminated recording software, editing software, hardware problems, length of video file, recording codec, video drivers, and size of video file from my investigations, which means it has to be something on the OS level.

I'll do a recut with some videotronic something to accompany it after the weekend, but there's no time for that today, so have a podcast in the s...

The Colonel Reduced - June 2025

It's still June.

Regular viewers will know that I've be waging war with my recording facilities for the last couple of months. Casualties of this conflict have included recording schedules, unpublished videos, recording software... ... turns out that criminal number 1 was not my recording software. It was SOMETHING ELSE.

What? Still unknown.

However since recording this I've updated all recording codecs, I've run disk checking wizardry, and that should at least help, but ...

The Colonel Reduced, May 2025

What's next!
or should that be
What's next?

31 Days In May - Extended

The short version: I'm taking a month off from all things video in order to do some much-needed behind the scenes bit and pieces. Yes, all video. Yes, including live streams.

So, why?

The month of bad performance I've had with my recording software was really HARSHING MY VIBE and I hadn't realised exactly how much my vibe had indeed been harshed until threatened to take my (Brutal)ball and go home on Discord.

A segue into Brutalball, briefly. It's fabulous for Dozerverse cha...

The Is The New Freight Airport - Transport Fever 2 Evolution #54

You want a freight airport, I want a freight airport. Let's build a freight airport.

-CF

Can you even spell reliabal, dude?

Spot the difference time!

A: What should happen on a Monday
B: What hasn't happened on this Monday

If you guessed "a bank holiday" (because every Monday should be a public holiday), you're right, but also wrong. If you guessed "the exclusive episode of Transport Fever I've coughed up 25c (possibly more) in advance to receive" you'd be right.

Good news! It'll be along tomorrow.

Less good news! It might be Wednesday depending how much of a fight my recording softwar...

The Colonel Reduced - April 2025

Jeff forces me to show you the new bunker.

Transport Fever 2 Evolution Part 51

No pithy title for you today. The creation of 2 truck stops, and trying to find a plausible bridge pillar hardly warrants it. Still, some nice train action going on in here.

-CF

Fever Tomorrow!

Sorry folks, I'm a day out of sync. Fever day is now Tuesday this week.

Again with this junction | Transport Fever 2 Evolution part 49

I swear I'll stop redesigning the same piece of track repeatedly at some point. Today is not that point.

-CF

Transport Fever 2 Evolution live...

At a loose end on Monday? Fancy joining in for some junction improving and prettification? Well, I have you covered.
-CF

Quest For Queuing - Transport Fever 2 Evolution #45

It's fixed now. We can all get on with our lives.
-CF

Enjoy Queuing - Transport Fever 2 Evolution part 43

I made an ineffective junction heading into the main port. It causes a lot of queues. Rather than fix it, I'm going to make it worse.

-CF

Making Things Work - Transport Fever 2 Evolution episode 41

This episode is long. The next episode is longer.

You don't need any other videos. Which is fortunate (I'm pushed for time - I assure you, variety will soon be our collective homeboy again).

-CF

Gap filling part 1 - Transport Fever 2 Evolution episode 39

I've got bits and pieces of completed product chains all over the place, so I need to make more. Not complete chains. No. That would actually turn a profit.

-CF

The port project | Transport Fever 2 Evolution part 37

What's better than building a port? Bulldozing a port.

This would have been here yesterday, but it took 5 attempts to get it to render because it's so gosh-darned great.

-CF

Pillars! Transport Fever 2 Evolution episode 35

I didn't think I'd enjoy setting up pillars as much as I did. Here's a video on the topic.

The Colonel Reduced February 2025

An hour of finest rambling, for you fine consumers of such rambles.
(Also open to the $1 Transport Fever club this month as a part of it relates to you.)

The Start Of Port Ankh-Morpork - Transport Fever 2 Evolution #33

This here is a messy collection of truck routes, and one train. And a ship. But, it's what, if one were to pay attention to the words in the thumbnail, the "this". The "that" will come later, but it cannot come about until I've nailed the "this." Trust me, this almost makes sense.
