You're an Adult Now | Splatoon 3 (Definitive Edition) + Small Update

Hey everyone! The original "Patreon Cut" upload with the integrated TikTok section had some issues in the export that hurt the quality so I wanted to make sure there was a "Definitive Edition" with a best-quality export of the Patreon Cut (while still at the mercy of Patreon Videos processing). Here it is! There's a couple of small fixes that make it further "Definitive" too, but nothing substantial...

You’re an Adult Now (YouTube Cut) + My Commentary + Next Episode

Hey everyone! The video went live on YouTube today!

For previous videos I have written a bit more of my thoughts on the game and given commentary on the video itself, so I'm going to do that again.

Here's what the final timeline looked like!

It would be cool if Premiere let you see how many cuts you've made! I've shared these for previous videos so I feel like I have to keep that pa...

You’re an Adult Now | Splatoon 3 (Patreon Cut)

Kid then, adult now.

Hey everyone! It's hard to believe that this day is here, but the Splatoon episode is finally complete! I talked a bit about the prolonged creation of this video, and I'll go further into that in the blog post soon (I'll go in depth on more about the games and talk more about the video's creation), but hopefully it'll be a satisfying watch for you all and you'll see the amount of care I put into it!

Review of TikTok

This here is the main Patreon-exclusive section of the Splatoon video, a review of TikTok! It is included naturally within the Patreon cut too, in case you'd like to see it there in context. You might be wondering why a video on Splatoon would contain a review of a social media platform.

Please enjoy! This is very different from the rest of the episodes and all of my previous ones but it was a fun section to put together, and it will be more relevant in the future. It was practically ma...

January Update

"It'll be done next month (January). I've said that for three months in a row now. It sure would be funny if I was wrong again, so I'll keep the pattern going!"

I don't have a ton to update on this month because it's mostly the same story as previous months. I'm working hard on it and it increasingly surprises me what this project is taking to get done. It's way closer to the to the finish line than before and it should be done in February, but w...

Video Preview (reupload)

Here's those first four minutes again! Not much is different, don't worry about what I changed! Enjoy :)

Just a reminder before I get to finalizing the ending, make sure your name on Patreon is what you want to be listed at the end of the video. If you for any reason don't want your name shown or would like a different name, feel free to let me know!

It'll be several more weeks, thanks for sticking with me!

December Update (Almost there!)

Something I've heard a few times from YouTube creators that I've watched in the past is that the amount of work a video takes increases exponentially with size. I don't think I understood this. Surely a video twice as long as another video should take twice as long to make? Turns out it is exponential, and the amount of work would be closer to 4x.

I really thought the Splatoon video would be done in December, but I keep being surprised by how much work is required. I don't know...

November Update

Hello magnificent Patrons! Unfortunately, I overestimated my ability to not get COVID and completely forgot Thanksgiving is this month. This made the month have almost 2 weeks less of time than I planned for, so the video isn't going to be done this month (I guess I lied!). 

Those aren't the only reasons; the video's scope has grown quite a bit since last month when I expected it to be done this month. I probably should learn my lesson and not give timeframes, but I have no doubt t...

October Update

Hello Patrons! Another month has passed somehow. It's November now, the video will be done this month! 

It's been roughly 2 months since the Xenoblade video dropped. The extra time this one is taking is due to a few different factors, but the biggest one is that I'm just trying really hard to make sure it's done right. I'm not exactly sure what's different about this video compared to the last two, but I think there's overall more moving parts, higher expectations, and a b...

September Update

Hey everyone! Tomorrow is the first day of October (today for some of you) which means my accidental streak of having a video out in every month since April has ended. Early this month I was busy with a bunch of stuff, but I'm at the point now that I can dedicate more time to the new video. 

It's Splatoon, by the way! I've now played through the campaigns of every Splatoon game three times, and I'm going to play even more of them because some of my OBS recordings randomly failed. <...

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Shouldn't Exist

This video took me a lot longer than I expected. It seems like these things keep getting a little bigger! It’s funny now thinking back to my plan for the last pair of videos, Drakengard and Xenoblade, I originally was going to do Drakengard as a 5ish minute piece similar to the Wuhu Island video. It evolved once I realized how passionate I was about the game; and the same thing happened this time.

I first planned to do a pre-release Xenoblade 3 video that would be about how the intern...

[Early Access] Xenoblade 3 Shouldn't Exist

It's done! I hope you enjoy!

The blog post about it will be up tomorrow :)

Patron names + Final Xenoblade Update

The video is 98% done! 

One of the last things I need to do is list Patron names, so I wanted to send out an announcement before I do. The name that will be printed is whatever is visible to me on Patreon, so in case you don't want that name to be in the video for any reason, please update your Display Name in the Patreon settings or send me a message within the next day! 

Huge thanks to all of you–as always! The video will be up for Patrons either tonight or tomorrow ...

Video Preview!

The Xenoblade video has entered the final stage of production! 

It's going to be a bit longer than the last video but it should be done in about a week. For now, here's what the first minute and a half look like!

August Update - Next video is in full production

I was pretty confident it would be a safe idea to promise the next video would be on Xenoblade Chronicles, and after finishing XC3 a few days ago I am now ecstatic that I made that choice. I've had my concept for it for a while now and the game being as great as it is has reinforced it. 

The script is coming along nicely and just as I feared, this is turning into a large project like last time. I am desperately hoping I can get it done within the next three weeks because I...

The Drakengard 3 Post (+ Sneak Peak)

Wow!

As I mentioned in the video, I finished Drakengard 3 and immediately knew I had to do a video on it. I was surprised how little YouTube content there was on the game. Most of it is either reviews from when the game came out or story analysis of how the Drakengard and NieR games connect. 

My original plan was to make it a shorter-type video like the Wuhu Island one to fill in the...

Three Houses/Hopes Video - My thoughts & the future of YouTube content

Hey!

In preparation for Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes I figured it was a good time to talk about Three Houses. The game really meant a lot to me, in fact there was a time where I'd say it was a Top 10-er. Because of this, I wanted to create a bit of a tribute to it (similar to the NieR: Automata video but on a smaller scale) and also explain why I played 300+ hours of a game with 80-100 hou...
