It's Friday the 13th Somewhere

Hey Patrons. The Halloween Build the Roster is finally done... at least I hope it is. I haven't had time to watch it yet and make sure it looks good. But if it does look good it'll go live tomorrow (or today depending on where you are). So before that happens, take a look and enjoy. 

Halloween BTR Sneak Peak Part 1

Hey there Patrons! So I've got the first half of the Halloween Build the Roster ready to go (although it's actually going to be more of a Friday the 13th BTR). It's already got some copyright claims on it so it's going to need more editing, and I still got the second half to go, but this will let you see what we've been working on. 

Halloween Indie Game Poll

Hey there Patrons, earlier this week we uploaded a poll for several games I had that we could do a video on for Thorgiween. But it occurred to me it might be better to divide them into categories, that way if I find myself thinking "We really need a specific game" I can see what you'd all prefer. 

And I always like to focus on indie games when I can, so in case I can squeeze in an indie game this year, which would you like to see me cover? 

Dredge - This game came out ba...

Vote on What We Play for THORGIWEEN

Hey there Patrons! Thorgiween is here, or more accurately it will be at the end of the month. And that means I need some games to talk about in some short videos. 

So here is a list of multiple games that I'm considering for this year's Thorgiween. Vote on up to 5 different games by following the link (because there's 12 options and Patreon won't let me do that many choices).

Now here's a big disclaimer, I need to make this super clear to everyone. This isn't voting on what g...

Patreon October Update

Hey there Patrons! It's finally that time, my favorite month of the year. It's time to work on our Halloween content and since last year I didn't get to do much for it due to medical stuff, this year I'm going overboard.

For starters we have a brand new Build the Roster all based around horror movie characters. I'm editing the audio for it right now and it's going to be big. But the big thing I'm working on is Thorgiween returns. A week of videos all about horror games, and this year I'...

Fight for the Future 2023

Hey there Patrons! This week (hopefully tomorrow) I'll be posting the announcement video on Youtube for this year's Fight for the Future Charity Stream. For anyone new to the channel we have an annual charity stream over on Twitch where we play fighting games for a week straight. This year the charity we're donating to is the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. I go into more details about th...

Patreon September Update and Discord News!

Hello there Patrons! Welcome to your monthly update and there is indeed some news to share. 

First up, the Patreon roles are getting a bit of a shake up. For starters now everyone has access to the Discord, and you even get a special Patron role. Let me know if anything goes wrong with it but it looks like it's going smoothly so far.

Secondly, as you may have noticed in the last video, anyone signed up for Patreon gets their names listed at the end of the big videos like Retr...

Street Fighter Retrospective Early Look

Hey there Patrons, the next part of the Retrospective is complete and we'll be going live with it tomorrow, but for now you can all get an early look at it. Enjoy. 

Fight for the Future Poll Part 3

Hey there Patrons, so I had the whole schedule for the Charity Stream worked out, but then a bunch of stuff happened and long story short, I now have one extra spot to fill.

So I'm going to leave it up to you guys. What would you like to see me dedicate a block to during our charity stream?

Unsung SNK Franchises - We all know Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting and KOF and SamSho. But what about World Heroes, Aggressors of Dark Combat, Kizuna Encounter, Last Blade, or King of Monsters?...

Street Fighter Retrospective part 3 - Part 2

Hey there Patrons. I was hoping to have the next Retrospective up this weekend but if you've been following me on Twitter then you know my internet has been all kinds of busted this weekend. I've spent the last three days getting almost no work done as I've been trying to fix my internet connection. But I was able to get the next part of the video done so enjoy this early look. 

Street Fighter Retrospective Part 3 - Part 1

Hey there Patrons, got a preview for you of the opening of the next part of the Street Fighter Retrospective. Now some of you might be shocked to see this because typically the preview is only for people at the $10 and up tier, but as I mentioned at the beginning of the month we're going to start changing around the rewards here, and the first big change is that the early sneak peeks will be for the $5 and up tier. I felt that just getting an early look at videos wasn't a good enough reward f...

Charity Stream Spotlight Poll

Hey there Patrons! For the Charity Stream this year we're going to have a block that spotlights one franchise. We won't go through every game in the series, that would take too long, but we'll play through three or four games from it, checking out different modes and characters.

So I'm going to let you vote on which series we spotlight. Here are the choices, let me know which you'd like to see us take a look at. 

Patreon August Update

Hey there Patrons! Hope everyone has been having a good summer. Time for your monthly update. As I mentioned in Part 2 of the Street Fighter Retrospective, Part 3 (dealing with Street Fighter 3) is already written and recorded. I do need to adjust some stuff because I had originally written it to be part of the same episode as the Alpha games, so I need to go back and write a new opening and change anytime I say "Earlier in this episode" but that shouldn't take too long. So that video should ...

Fight for the Future Charity Poll

Hey there Patrons! Coming up in August is our annual week long charity stream, Fight for the Future. For anyone who hasn't been here in the past, we spend a week playing fighting games over on Twitch, and we break the week up into blocks, each block built around a theme.

Well I'm still putting the schedule together and I decided to let you Patrons vote on two of the blocks. Here's four blocks I'm thinking of doing, and whatever are the two highest ranking choices will be added to the sc...

Patreon July Update

Hey there Patrons! Time for your monthly update, but this one is a little different and you'll see why in the video... also sorry for the audio, I'm still learning. 

Fighting Game Spotlight - The Final Poll

Hello Patrons and welcome to the final poll for our Fighting Game Spotlight show. And boy what an unceremonious one to go out on but a weird one none the less. Sorry that this poll didn't go up sooner, was hoping to have this all done by last week but had some bank and doctor stuff to deal with this month which kind of delayed everything. But here we go, let's see what will be the final game we'll be...

FGS Poll - Dengeki Bunko Vs Power Rangers

Hello Patrons and welcome to the Penultimate Poll. The Bracket that just happened to have the biggest names of all the games on the list is finally coming to a close. So let's see who gets a spotlight.

FGS Poll - Final Round - Red Earth VS Fight of Gods

Hello Patrons! And now for the second match in the final round of our polls. And today I have zero idea who is going to win, this one is totally up in the air for me. The lost Capcom fighter finally available to audiences, or the most insane idea for a fighting game ever. Like last time I'll include some videos with gameplay to help you decide

FGS Poll - Final Round - Million Arthur VS CVS2

Hello Patrons and welcome to the final round of voting on the Fighting Game Spotlight games. This will decide which four games get added to the fighting game spotlight show. Now, if you missed the poll from earlier this month, you might be confused as to why Under Night isn't up here today. That's because since the Under Night sequel is coming soon we're just going to do a full blown Retrospective on...

Patreon Rewards

Hey there Patrons! Earlier this month I mentioned I wanted to start offering more Patreon rewards. Whenever I look at other Patreon accounts they tend to offer more stuff so I feel I need to step up and provide you guys with more for your support. But I'll be honest with you, I'm drawing a blank on what else to offer.

I know a lot of creators list the Patrons in the credits, so we could do that if you want it, but since I only put out one video a month I don't know if that would be that...

Under Night Poll

Hey there Patrons. So this month we're going to finally finish the tournament to find what games will be featured in our fighting game spotlight show. And so far it looks like Under Night in Birth is a shoe in, it's destroyed all of its competitors.

However there's a problem. There were rumors that a sequel was in the works, but in the last two weeks the Korean Rating Board leaked that there is...

Patreon June Update

Hey there Patrons! A new month is here so it's time for another Patreon update. So we just got two massive Street Fighter videos out, one of which I hired our first editor for, which I was able to do thanks to all you Patrons, so thanks for that. Now I want to keep striking while the iron is hot and get to work on Part 2 of the Retrospective. Hopefully I can get that out by the end of this month. But I'm still waiting on my copy of SF6 to arrive (fingers crossed it comes tomorrow) and once I ...

FGS Poll - Round 2 - Jump Force VS Last Blade 2

Hello Patrons! And welcome to the final day in Round 2 of the Fighting Game Spotlight show. Yes after today we're moving onto the final round, and what a match to go out on. A famous stinker vs an obscure gem. Who will win?

FGS Poll - Round 2 - Rage of the Dragons VS Chaos Code

Hey there Patrons and welcome to the final week of Round 2 of the Fighting Game Spotlight Poll. Starting the week are two more obscure games but they still have die hard fans and funny enough they both recently were announced to have some kind of a revival coming, with a rerelease of Rage of the Dragons on the way, and a sequel to Chaos Code in the works.

FGS Poll - Round 2 - Brawlhalla vs Power Rangers

Hello Patrons! Today I have no idea who is going to win because I thought Brawlhalla was going to get taken out in round one. Instead it dominated the last round. So we got two heavy hitters here ready to go.

FGS Poll - Round 2 - Battle of Big Names

Hello Patrons, time for another round of the Fighting Game Spotlight poll, and today is easily the two biggest names in fighting games... no seriously, I can't find two fighting games with longer names than this, I couldn't even fit them both in the title.

FGS Poll Round 2 - SoulCalibur 6 vs Fight of Gods

Hello Patrons, here comes another poll for our new show and boy is this a crazy match up. (I feel like I say that every week but this one is really wild) Who will win? Nightmare and Geralt, or Jesus... yes Fight of Gods is the fighting game that features Jesus, that's not just a meme online it actually exist.

Hey there Patrons, time for the next fighting game spotlight poll. Today we've got a game I joked about in a retrospective and now everyone wants me to talk about, versus one of the biggest legends in fighting game history. I seriously have no idea who could win so let's get to it.

Fighting Game Spotlight Poll - Round 2 - Day 1

Hello Patrons and welcome to Round 2 of the tournament to find what four games we'll spotlight in our new show. First up we have two of the most anime fighting games I've ever seen that weren't based on actual animes.

I already gave a brief description of them both in Round 1, so for Round 2 I'm going to link you to the trailers for each game so you can get a bit of a look at them yourself.&nbs...
