XCOM CHIMERA SQUAD REVIEW

i never want to think about this stinky ass game ever again.

Note for those of you who are interested: This is the first video I ever made where I had to drop the script entirely for a while then come back to it months later. Usually, I get so fixated on a game that I just full-steam ahead bash my head against the wall until the video is done. This one was different. I wasn't satisfied with the first script back when I streamed it, had to put it away for other things, and it haunted me ...

Next Video Intro PREVIEW (and a sidenote)

Hullo! Here's a preview of the first few minutes of the next video - exclusive to all of you fine people on Patreon. 

It's XCOM Chimera Squad. Some of you may remember the Patreon-exclusive talk I did about the game a few months back. It wasn't enough. The game has continued to haunt my brain like a phantom, and I must make an official video about it to rid myself of this curse.

Fortunately though, I like ranting about it! So my goal is to make this video ABOUT the game vastl...

MORE LETHAL COMPANY

Had way too much fun with this game, had to make another video. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Take care!

NEW VIDEO | Lethal Company

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. 

Or, if you're not American, just get really fat in spirit with us.

Take care everybody!

NEW VID OUT | Mortal Sin Review

Hullo! New vid out. Mortal Sin. It's a game with very fun combat and very weird visuals - both of which I like. I hope you like it too, or at least, enjoy watching the video, anyway.

Take care, and have a good weekend!

Verac Discord™ is Alive (For Now)

After many, many requests, I have finally made a discord. Be not afraid of the scary looking emojis. They're from my streams.

It's exclusive to Patrons and YouTube Members at the moment, so you can join it by connecting your Patreon account to your discord. It should have the server pop up automatically on your sidebar - something I learned the moment I integrated Patreon to the server and 20 people immediately joined.

Come check it out and let's talk vidya! 

PAYDAY 3 REVIEW

Hullo there. Do you like games that haven't been finished? I sure do.

I had more fun making this video than playing the game at certain points. Which doesn't speak well to Payday 3, but I'm very happy with how the video turned out. So I hope you enjoy it! 

For those of you asking: Yes, I did try the new Darktide update. I like the new talents a lot, but I haven't explored everything that's new yet. It's promising to say the least.

More to come soon. Take care!

Verac n Femrac """Podcast""": XCOM CHIMERA SQUAD

Hullo everyone. How ya doin? We're doing good, Baby is good, and most importantly, Dograc is good. Posting this at 11PM at night because it's Real Dad Hours.

We took some time to sit down and record something for you fine people on Patreon just cuz I like ya so much. So here's a PATREON EXCLUSIVE for you. I felt like Veracsplaining to my wife for a while about the video I'm making on XCOM: Chimera Squad (not that she hasn't heard about it already but she doesn't have a choice).  2023-09-12 04:26:40 +0000 UTC View Post

ANNOUNCEMENT

Hullo everyone! I'm Dadrac Now. Not a joke, not a meme - I am now a father. Wow! Look at my babby!

I have slept approximately 15 hours this week. Fortunately my wife and I are a good team. This was planned and prepared for. We're happy, but very tired.

Questions:

1. Will this change your videos/style/humor?

No. I am still the same ol' Verac - silly jokes, editing, and the occasional sexual innuendo. I just have more responsibilities now! My child will not be seeing my ...

BIOSHOCK REVIEW

Wow! A BioShock Review in the year 2023! I'm striking while the iron is completely encased within an iceberg. Hopefully you like it anyway. 

Poll soon for Vidya Elite as I look for new games to play.

Take care!

Bioshock Teaser

Hullo!

Here's another peek at the Bioshock video. I'll let it speak for itself.

Video will be out in approximately 2 to 3 weeks.

Take care everybody.

-Verac

BIOSHOCK Video Teaser

Hullo!

Here's a taste of the upcoming video. I'm enjoying this one a lot so far, so I'm hoping you will too!

I really wanted to use Papa Loves Mambo in this (a real song that Bioshock features via licensing) but can't for obvious YouTube reasons.

Full video still a ways away, enjoy the teaser for now. Probably streaming this week a couple times though - I'm thinking XCOM 2. Let me know if you have other game recommendations.

Oh, and for Americans, hope you had a good h...

side project SNEAK PEEK - 6.21.23

Hullo!

New video on the new side channel (@VeracTWO) on a game called HYPNOSPACE OUTLAW. I had a lot of fun recording and making this. I plan on making this video public sometime tomorrow morning - But until then, it's unlisted and just for you guys! I hope you enjoy the early viewing.

I made this to avoid burnout while working on the Bioshock video. You can expect more weird bullshit on this side channel whenever I want to upload something that probably doesn't belong on the main...

UPDATE 6.6.23

Hullo! Hope you're all doing well.

Next video is well underway. It's about Bioshock! The first game, specifically. The other two Bioshock sequels may have their own videos in the future.

I expect this video to be done in a few weeks so long as nothing comes up. There have been some big life events in our little family here lately, and I'll have more to tell in a few months. For now I focus on making good videos that I hope you'll enjoy!

A sincere thank you to all of you here...

DD2 | VERACSPLAINING | Extras

Hullo!

Here's some cuts that didn't make the final video just for you guys. Some splaining, some speculation, and some bad jokes. I hope you like that kind of thing. 

As I say in the video, consider this a kind of podcast. A PodRac, if you will. I'm not going crazy on the visuals for it because I want to keep up my pace on the next video. I have a few different videos planned, and one huge-ass script about 90% done, stuff I think you guys will love. So look forward to that! 2023-05-17 12:36:43 +0000 UTC View Post

A Brief Review of DARKEST DUNGEON® 2 | "Dungeons® Not Included"™ Edition™

Wow! A new video! 

More DD2 Veracsplaining/Bloopers/Extras will be uploaded exclusively for patrons here in a few days, so look forward to that.

Have a great weekend everybody. Take care!

Update and Gratitude - 4.22.23

Hullo! Short post here to keep you guys updated with things.

Firstly, I've been enjoying streaming a lot recently and always like seeing you guys pop in when you can. I'm feeling extremely grateful lately for how many people support the ol' Verac Family every month here on Patreon, and via superchats now too. Thank you.

Secondly, here's the plan for the near future: 

- Currently streaming Bioshock trilogy and will probably make a trilogy review about...

RE4 VIDEO

Hullo! 

Here's a video about the RE4 remake and my time playing it on stream. I had a lot of fun playing and making the video for it, so I hope you enjoy watching.

Thinking of the next game to play live on the channel - considering TF2, or maybe Bioshock. Feel free to let me know what you think.

Take care!

-Verac

CHANNEL UPDATE - Reviews, Streams, and Videos - 4.4.23

Hullo!

Plans for NEW CONTENT™ are coming to VERAC CHANNEL™. If you don't mind what I do and just want to support me - genuinely, thank you so much. For those who are interested about what's in store, and for those who can scale this wall of text, read ahead.

To preface: I use all the income I earn from making videos toward supporting my family. We don't have much, but we get by. For me, as long as Mrs. Verac and our dog have food to eat, I'm happy.<...

SLAY THE SPIRE Review

Here's the new video. Two in one month?? Wow!

I have many thoughts about upcoming videos - which games to cover, when, and how I'll go about making them. I will probably stream more in April as well. But more on all that later.

Hope you like the video. Enjoy, and take care!

-Verac

Slay the Spire | Preview

Hullo everybody.

Slay the Spire video is underway and should be out in approximately one week. Here's a teaser for you in the meantime!

Music subject to change, feel free to let me know what you think about it. I couldn't find anything that matched well with this part of the video from the game's soundtrack so I'm trying something different on this part. Still going to try to use the OST during the rest of the video.

Anyway, I hope you like it! Back to work for me. Take care...

UPDATE and Give Me Your RECOMMENDATIONS - 3.6.23

Hullo everyone. Hope you're doing well. 

The reception to the FTL video was great. Love to see it, and I'm glad when I can catch your comments on it as well. I don't see every single comment, but I tend to focus on them when I can recognize a username from Patreon. 

Couple things I wanted to fill you all in on. 

FIRST: This upcoming video is planned to be on Slay the Spire. I've played way too much of this game. It also has a billio...

NEW VIDEO - FTL: Faster Than Light

A new video? At this hour??

It's true. And I hope you like it too.

There was a lot of good audio for this one that didn't make the cut. Mostly about weapons and some Verac Pro Tips. I may upload it as a Patreon Exclusive here at some point. Or maybe I'll revisit the game in the future with mods? I hear the Multiverse mod is pretty fun.

Thank you as always for your support, everyone. You help keep these videos coming.

Have a great weekend!

-Verac

UPDATE 2.15.23 - FTL Teaser

Hullo everyone.

FTL video is well under way. It's a lot longer than I initially was planning, so it'll be another week or two yet. Here's a teaser of the opening to the video to tide you over.

I was thinking "Let's do a 15 minute video, nice quick one after that longer Darktide video." 

Then I ended up making a 30-40+ minute video again because I apparently like the space game too much.

Anyway, back to work for me! Hope you all have a wonderful day. 

UPDATE 2.2.23 - plus FTL Artbook Stream!

Hullo everyone. Hope you're doing well.

The script for the FTL video is finished. Voiceover is next, then I expect editing to take about two weeks. I'm looking forward to this one - FTL is a personal favorite of mine and I love talking about it.

The video here is a sort of impromptu podcast, or you could consider it a "pre-recorded livestream". I was looking for resources relating to FTL and found this official artbook that I previously hadn't seen before. I was interested in it a...

Patreon Exclusive: DARKTIDE VERACSPLAINING | Extras | Outtakes

Hullo! Here's a compilation of bloopers and fun behind-the-scenes moments from the Darktide video. 

I had initially planned for a longer Veracsplaining section in the Darktide video, similar to the Darkest Dungeon one, but it just didn't make the cut. 

However, I saved the funniest moments as exclusives for you guys. Enjoy!

DARKTIDE VIDEO

Hullo everyone.
Hope you're having a good start to the new year. If not, then maybe I can make you laugh a couple times with this new video.
I hope you like it.

Truly, thank you all for your support. It's thanks to you guys that I can continue to make videos like this one.

Back to work for me. More videos to come!

Have a Happy 2023 everybody!

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: Darktide Video Preview

Here's a preview of the intro for the upcoming Darktide video. I hope you like it!

Full video should be out within the first couple weeks of January. It's gonna be a doozy.

Hope you had some good times during the last week. Relax where you can, and have a Happy New Year!

UPDATE - December 15th 2022

Hullo everybody. How you doin? Just thought I'd check in and keep you updated on things.

Darktide video is in production and should be out in January. Wanted it done in December, but I got The Coof and it knocked me out for a good week. Still feeling it a bit, but I'm functional now and enjoying getting back to work. 

This video on Darktide might be a little different than usual. I like the game a lot, but I also have more criticisms than usual compared to other games I've ...
