The Resident Evil Remakes Have an Identity Crisis

Roll up folks! It’s time for another early access post!

Been working on this one in the background for a week or two, it’s just something I had this deep desire to put together.

How I feel about RE4 isn’t the popular opinion, but I don’t feel how I feel for no reason. I wanted to explore why I feel so at odds with it and I think the result is genuinely very interesting.

I have no other mini projects in the background anymore so my next videos will be on Spider-Man 2...

Assassin's Creed Chronicles China - A Forgotten Gem

I don't remember when I said I'd make this video, but I did say I would make this video.

I've always loved Chronicles China, and it doesn't deserve to be forgotten, so I put this together, to talk about why I think this game is so much better than most people chalk it up to.

Enjoy folks, got some more small projects in the works before the big RDR2 one.

Across the Spider-Verse is an Artistic MARVEL

FINALLY, I'm talking about Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. It's been a while I know, but I just got around to re-watching it after the digital release dropped and I can finally do this commentary I meant to do when it was in theatres. 

I love this film, it's just spectacular from start to finish and I cannot wait to see what they do with the sequel.

The Jazz Lounge - #7 | Ollie

Hey fellas, welcome back to another episode of The Jazz Lounge!

Sorry it's been so long, I go over it in greater detail in the pod and talked about it in the recent update post, plus there's some other things that have just been in the way of my productivity but we're back and we're rolling. 

Had Ollie on this video, someone who's been a good mate for a few years and been a recurring character on The Clubhouse Pod before, as well as being the co-host of Switching Stances with...

Bit of a personal life update.

Hey everyone (TLDR at the bottom of the post)

Hope you’re all well!

I feel like I sort of need to update you guys on where I’m at and what I’m doing, I’m not sure if it’s really the case but I’ve felt absent the past little while, especially here on Patreon. But I really just wanted to check in with you guys.

I want to say I appreciate you all a fuck ton, you don’t know how much your support on here helps me when it comes to creating t...

The Clubhouse Podcast Reunion - #1

Well folks, here you go, the first reunion episode of The Clubhouse Podcast.

It's been a while but it felt like no time had passed at all. Thank you to everyone for the topics and updates, this really was such a good time for us both.

We'll do another before the year's out I'm sure.

Thanks again folks <3

The Clubhouse Podcast | Topics Thread

You didn't read that wrong, we're back!

Okay, well we're not BACK, back, but we are back for an episode of Clubhouse.

We said when we left we'd get together every so often and have a chat, read some topics and shoot the shit just like we used to do and the time has finally come. SO... Give us your best topics, advice requests, life updates, stories, questions or whatever you want! we're recording on July 30th so get your topics in before then.

We're both looking forward to t...

Grand Theft Auto V - 10 Years Later (Retrospective)

Well well well, we're finally back with another big project. I absolutely loved working on this, more than I thought that I would. GTA V is a big and, in a lot of ways, complicated game. There's so much more to talk about than people give it credit for and I feel that despite it's success and fame, the game doesn't really get the credit it deserves. It certainly has it's flaws and it's by no means my favourite GTA, but it has a lot going for it that people should admire.

Thanks everyone...

So I Just Finished Final Fantasy XVI...

Well, I just got done with FFXVI and it's safe to say it was a hell of a journey. 

There are issues, flaws and criticisms to be had but regardless, it was a game that will stick with me for a while to come. This game did so many special things and resonated with me so strongly. I was enjoying it throughout my time with it despite some frustrations, yet once the credits rolled, the game took on a totally new form, something clicked in a new way and the game hit me like a freight tra...

"The Gay Crisis" | Four Pillars Podcast REUNION - #1

Here's the audio only version of the first Four Pillars reunion episode. I'm making it a public post so nobody has to pledge to be granted access, just allows people to listen to the audio version if they so choose!

Was such a blast to get the gang back together and have a good ol' laugh. I hope you enjoy!

The Jazz Lounge - #6 | Repaduski

Hey folks! We're on time this time... Or maybe even a tad early!

Thanks for all the continued support, really appreciate you gamers. This episode we had on Repaduski, a creator that I really admire, and we had a great ol' chat about plenty of things.

Hope everyone is well, keep safe, I'll catch you soon!

Final Fantasy XVI's Prologue Did Something Unbelievable

Hey folks! With the release of FFXVI upon us, I thought I'd put together this video essay on the prologue featured in the demo that was recently released. 

Of course expect full spoilers for the Demo (but only the demo).

I had a good time writing it and I'd like to do more like this and my Starfield & AC Mirage videos, stuff that's a lot more from the heart, a subjective look at something that resonated with me, I have a lot of fun writing these.

Hope you enjoy the ...

Starfield: The Power of an Empty World

Well gamers, looks like I've got another video for you!

Starfield sort of blew me away yesterday with the showcase so I just had to talk about it in some way, but I didn't want to simply do a breakdown or opinion video I thought I could look at one of the aspects that has been a point of contention and offer my own insight into how it will ultimately bolster the experience this game is trying to convey.

I had a ton of fun writing this, like a ton of fun... These shorter videos are...

The Jazz Lounge - #5 | Random Side Quest

Hey fellas! Welcome back to another episode of The Jazz Lounge.

Today's guest is none other than Random Side Quest, we had a great chat about plenty of different things so I do hope you all enjoy.

Thanks again for all the support 💚

An essay about Assassin's Creed Mirage... Sort of

This isn't REALLY about Mirage... I mean it is, but it's also not. I just found myself writing in the shower a few days ago, I sometimes will do that, I'll just riff in a google doc, sometimes things come of it, most times I just leave it. I have so many documents with opening paragraphs or first pages or closing statements for videos I'll likely never make. 

This one just sort of flowed and came out and I realised that I did have something worth saying with regards to this game. I...

I'm stuck for my next major project...

I have two large videos that I really want to make but I'm not sure which to prioritise and go for first, could even be that I only end up making one of these depending on which I pick because of the other projects I need to do this year... so I thought I'd come to you gamers. (Because this is a very specific poll that I genuinely need help with, I'm opening it up to all tiers (sorry producers))

I want to make a case for both, give you the gist and then let you vote, so allow me to elab...

A Video Essay about Bolt + Update

Hey... I know it's not been long since my Jedi Survivor video but I had this script ready and the edit was incredibly fast so... Here it is! 

Bolt Video Process/Questions/Suggestions??

I'm gonna hold off on the YouTube post mainly to give my Survivor video time to breathe (Despite the algorithm totally tanking it), there's still time for it to pick up. Plus I have no idea what I'm going to call this video, any ideas are welcome. I'm hoping this one can sort o...

Jedi Survivor - In-Depth Analysis & Critique

Hey there folks!

Really enjoyed this game and putting this video together. In the end, this game really spoke to me, in a way I genuinely didn't expect it to and I found that incredibly special. Hope you all enjoy!

Thanks for the continued support on Patreon, honestly couldn't do this without you. I feel I'm able to more comfortably work on these sorts of projects knowing I've got that support backing me up from everyone here. Seriously, properly, thank you!

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 reminded me what superhero movies SHOULD be

Loved this movie, absolutely LOVED this movie, I just had to talk about it.

I Watched Tales of the Jedi... And it was actually good?

I was surprised at the fact Tales of the Jedi was actually a good time with some nice theming and character work that I honestly didn't expect. Hope you enjoy me ramble about it for a little bit.

The Jazz Lounge - #4 | ItsElva

Hey folks!

Welcome back to another Jazz Lounge, this time I was joined by my girlfriend, Elva who I'm sure many of you are familiar with, to talk about our recent trip to Florence, Italy.

It was great to get away and there was plenty we did, so join us as we sit and reminisce about our time in the birthplace of the Renaissance.

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores - A Critical Analysis

Haven't finalised a thumbnail for this one yet, but I wanted to drop it here for everyone since it's finished and complete!

I overall really enjoyed Burning Shores but that doesn't mean it's without it's obvious drawbacks, issues and growing pains, I hope you enjoy the critique.

Thanks for the continued support everyone!

Jazz Lounge #4 | Topics Thread

Hey fellas! Elva will be joining me on the next episode of Jazz Lounge and I wanted to mix things up a bit. We'll be talking about our trip to Italy but also I wanted to make the most on having Elva on the pod too.

So go ahead and drop questions and topics that we can go through on the episode, about whatever you'd like. Elva and I don't often talk together genuinely on the internet, usually we just talk shit but I thought it'd be nice to sit down and do something genuine for a change, ...

Italy Photo Dump #2

Back home now, but wanted to drop all the photos from the second half of the trip.

Had such an insanely good time and it was just the thing I needed after years with little to not real breaks, will definitely be travelling more.

Going to have Elva guest on the next Jazz Lounge to chat all about it and more 👌🏻

Italy Photo Dump #1

Thought I’d drop some random pics I’ve taken while in Florence over the last few days, still have 6 days before the trip is over and I’m sure I’ll take some more, so I’ll do another photo dump in a few days.

Having a great time, plenty to talk about once I’m back, as well as a vlog we’ve been cooking 👌🏻👌🏻

Much love gamers! 💚

The Forgotten Stories of Altair | Altair's Chronicles & Bloodlines - Retrospective

Here you go folks! My AC1 video may be premiering to the public today, but you gamers wont go empty handed.

Here is the spin off to my AC1 video that I worked on along side it, focussing on the spin offs for Altair, both Altair's Chronicles and AC Bloodlines... and I have to say, this one was really funny to put together.

Enjoy!

Assassin's Creed | 15 Years Later (Retrospective)

Well folks... Here you go!

This has taken a lot of time and a lot of work but I'm happy to finally present my AC1 Retrospective to those of you on Patreon.

This is the longest video I've ever made, and I want to say "I'll never make a video this long again" but I do plan to eventually (next year) create something for Persona 5 Royal... So I simply cannot promise that I wont ever make a video this long, if not longer, again.

That said, thank you all for the support, and patie...

The Jazz Lounge - #3 | LeoK

Hey everyone! 

Little bit late with this one, apologies for that but I explain myself in the episode... Hopefully you can forgive me 🙏

Great guest this episode, someone I've always watched but somehow never spoken to, LeoK makes some truly great content focussed on pure skill his video games of choice from Assassin's Creed to Tetris, man is really a master.

There's been issues with people not being able to hear the last 10 seconds of the previous episodes, which is s...

Patreon Changes - Important Update to Tiers

Hey everyone,

I appreciate your support since the relaunch and it's been nice to be able to give stuff back, but like with all new things, there's definitely some growing pains on my end when it comes to producing content.

I think I better understand what I want to do with this page and given my workload (which is stupidly a lot) I wanted to make some minor changes to two of the tiers to just adjust what I'm putting out.

The plan is to adjust the $3.50 to not longer include ...

So I Finished HBO's The Last of Us...

After coming to the end of HBO's TLOU, I thought I'd put up a commentary for you all since I've not yet really used this reward tier yet for anything.

Overall, I enjoyed the show, thought it was decently solid if not a bit misspaced at points, but overall a good time, looking forward to season to. But here's my take away after finishing the final episode.

Thanks for the support, Actual Comments coming soon!
