At the start of the month, I promised a bunch of new and fun bonuses going forward for all supporters here on Patreon. At last, here is the first entry in in the final bit of content I announced: The ArTorrium Podcast. Or just The ArTorrium, hosted by Davie Karczewski and yours truly.
Over this course of this show, we'll talk about a variety of topics in the world of video games, movies, television, and other things we're into. For this first episode, ...

Here's this week's episode of ParkesTorr (a day late), where I tell the story of my time working for The Escapist YouTube channel back in 2023-- and why it all came to an end. Let me know if you have any ideas for future ParkesTorr episodes-- and please enjoy!

Welcome back to ArTorr Monthly!!!! Let me give you the scoop on what I worked on last month and what you should look out for in the month(s) ahead!
Remember The Clone Wars
A video I announced in November and tried to get out last month (do or do not, there is no try) is still not done by the time this is dropping on ...

Hey AGAIN everyone-- the Clone Wars video will now be ready later this week, making it my first video of 2025.
What happened going into the two previous deadlines was that I wanted to get this video out as soon as it was done, and given that this was a much shorter video than any of my usual full-length video essays, I underestimated how long that would take. Then a mixture of long hours at my day job post-Christmas and catching a cold stalled me eve...

It probably goes without saying as today is just about over, but Remember The Clone Wars will NOT be releasing today, December 27th, as I previously announced. It will now be released on Monday, December 30th, with Patreon Early Access the evening before on Sunday, December 29th. The video was not quite where I wanted it right before Christmas, and then of course the holiday itself stalled the last touches I still need to put in place. Thank you...

Remember The Clone Wars will be coming December 27th. I'm very close to finishing this video, and it's come along AWESOMELY. I can't wait for you to see it!
The Rogue One video will now be coming in January. In the end, it was just a bit too much to try and get two videos out in a single month, even if both were smaller projects than what my videos usually end up being. December is just so busy-- plus I really want to enjoy m...

Hey again everyone. Last week I put out a video talking about some big ideas I have for the channel in the new year. In case you didn't watch the video or didn't finish it, this post will basically be a summary of what I talked about in a more digestible (less ramble-y lol) format.
Why is ArTorr Changing?
It probably comes as no surprise to hear it's been very hard running the channel this year and even last year. A myriad of new circumstances personal, profess...

After a recent bit of teasing, here's my first post talking about the ambitious "Future" of ArTorr. Though it involves necessary overhauls to many areas of the channel and the business behind it, one thing at the center will not be changing: the kind of videos I make, and that you know me for making.
I'll put up a wrriten post summarizing specific changes in a couple days, but for now, watch the video and tell me your thoughts! Feedback is very important...

Welcome back monthly update posts! Last year I wrote these almost every month, letting you guys know what progress I had made on videos in development month-to-month. Then they became monthly update videos. Then we stopped doing them altogether, in favor of "creator diaries." After almost a year of this model, I've come to the conclusion that I greatly preferred the consistent, written communication of these monthly update posts. So, going forward, you can expect ArTorr M...

Hey everyone! I hope your November has gotten off to a great start. I caught a cold last week so unfortunately stuffing my face with Halloween candy has been pretty off-limits. It also means I haven't been able to properly sit down and record a larger update video for Patreon that I've been thinking about making for the last month. It concerns some big changes coming to all aspects of ArTorr in the coming year. Not all details of those changes have crystalized yet in my mind, but as it's been...

The Rise of The Bear is now live on ArTorr!
My journey with The Bear first began over a year ago in early 2023. A couple of friends and I had just finished our weekly Dungeons & Dragons session, and were looking for something to put on in the background until we were ready to leave for the night. Having heard nothing but rave reactions to it on Twitter over the last several months, I suggested The Bear. Needless to say, we were captivated. I h...

Due to some unforseen copyright troubles (I should've forseen them this happens every single time), the early access launch of The Rise of The Bear for Tier 3 supporters is being delayed from Wednesday to Friday. I'm deeply sorry.
In place of the full video on Wednesday, I'll be putting out the first HALF of the video as a preview for Tier 3 supporters (the half of the video that isn't affected by copyright).
The video will still go live for everyone on Monday. If you are a Tier 3...

... And when is it coming out? This short update video will answer both questions. In short-- I got very busy this summer and have had to fight for the time to work on this thing. Tentatively, The Rise of The Bear will arrive in September.
If you have any other questions I didn't answer in the video, leave 'em below. Until the video is here, thank you tenfold for your patience and support during a difficult time for the channel. Here's to smoother times in the next few months....

Promised Land: The Journey of Jedi Survivor is now live on ArTorr!
A video on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was a no-brainer. I love Fallen Order, and our Failure is Not The End video is how many of you found me a few years ago.
But at the time Jedi Survivor found me, I was spread thin between three jobs, and could hardly spare the time-- or the motivation-- to work on any new videos; at the time, the Jurassic Park video was...

Hello everyone! I hope we've all had a good Christmas, holiday, time off of work, or jolly December. Last week I announced the next video coming to the channel, and introduced new Patron benefits along with it. Chiefly, there is now Tier 3, early access for new videos, and mini-docs I'll be doing for videos as they develop. Wanted to make this brief post to outline how this will all work and the outlook here for the next few weeks.
First, ArTorr Updates is over. I'll no...

The Digital Doomsday of Jurassic Park is now live on ArTorr!
At the outset of editing my previous video on the Indiana Jones sequels, I began to consider making a video that would address and support the 2023 WGA strike against the AMPTP (at the time the SAG-AFTRA strike had not yet started). Writing is obviously very important to me, and I wanted to find some way to shed a light on the exploitation of working artists through a piece o...

Hello everyone! It's been a minute. Since my last update in July, a lot of my plans for the channel this year have unfortunately hit the fan. So here is a long overdue update on why that is, and what the plan is going forward!
I decided to do this one as a video rather than a written post, as A) There's a lot to update y'all on, B) I don't have a lot of time, and C) This might be a better way of talking to you!
Check it out, and let me know what you think below, if you'd like. ...

Hello and welcome to a new monthly update post! I skipped June as I was deep into wrapping up a certain Indiana Jones video at the start of the month, and had worked on pretty much nothing else but that video in the weeks leading up to it, so it wouldn't have made for a very substantial post. But that won't be the case for this post, nor what I've spent the last few weeks working on...

Work on the long-delayed "Indiana Jones Sequels" video began earlier this year in January. I went into the project with one concrete idea-- the Indiana Jones sequels were some of the only sequels of Steven Spielberg's filmography and therefore worthwhile outliers to explore-- several vague notions about the parallels between Indiana Jones and Spielberg's career or personal life, and a desperate goal to write a better video than the Raiders vi...
