Objectives Update

Greetings GGN,

Clearly 2026 is doing it's darndest to out fuck 2025 , but I hope you're doing well and remaining alive. I wanted to send out a little progress update/explaining of the no video this month. BASICALLY, it's looking like the SIREN video is going to be on the longer side, maybe even the longest game review I've done! The script is in excess of 50 pages. Turns out I had a lot to say about this one on top of it being a nightmare to organize in a coherent way. Plus the prospec...

NEW VIDEO IS LIVE!

Howdy there, GGN!

Feel like it's been a minute since I updated everyone on whats in the works! Firstly, I hope you enjoy this video, it's one I've wanted to do since my channel's inception. Like many of those first ideas, it's a game I found in a thrift store or flea market and had nobody to talk to about it. It was totally meant to be a 40min max affair, but...well...I don't know...content just kept happening. I fell into this spiral of "well this part isn't funny so I should add 5 m...

DRAKENGARD VIDEO IS LIVE

Hey there GGN,

I have not raised my nose from the grindstone in weeks so I'm gonna keep this short and sweet. I hope you like this video for a game that really put me through the wringer! (I think I permanently fucked up my wrist) and that it's a sufficient mix of me being pissed off, but having affection for Taro's output. I'm gonna take a couple days to rest and then continue work on a game review that will be a secret for a little while and then in the coming days I'll be holding an...

NEW SECRET MENU ITEM AVAILABLE

whatsupgothgamernation?!

I have a new offering of goofy paranormal media for patrons only. This one takes a look at the first half of the horror anthology series, A Haunting. A very silly show that was a great comfort during the COVID pandemic. I sift through the first six seasons looking for amusing moments and links to other media in that weird world I recognize. Parts of it make giggle, and parts I'm actively thinking, "why did I make this?" Like most of these videos it's a...

SECRET MENU serving on the way/NEWS

Hey there GGN,

I'll try to keep this brief so I can get back to editing!

Just wanted to apologize for lagging and explain/reassure/promise you that I'll be posting something soon, within the coming week or so. WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS, I was working on Drakengard Video and another secret menu item, but a DIFFERENT secret menu item that I had been working on here and there seemed like it might be a smarter bet to focus on since more of it was finished. That's what I'm editing now. ...

SLITTERHEAD video is LIVE

WHATSUPGOTHGAMERNATION?

Okay, this thing really fought me at the 11th hour, but it's finally done. Apologies for the delay. I hope you enjoy it! I have to say the process of this one felt real weird and experimental, I feel like there is a lot of deranged brain broken improv in it. Maybe in part because it's a new game but also because it's such a weird game and if given infinite time I could fill it with endless goofs and bits of trivia. There was a few failed uploads that got flagged...

Prepare the tubes...

WHATSUPGOTHGAMERNATION?!

Just wanted to share a progress update. I usually feel a little bad when I don't have anything ready to post at the end of the month, but I just wanted to assure you that I'm real close!Initially I had figured the Slitterhead video would be on the shorter side, but I found a lot of fun material to include so it's looking to come out close to 2.5hrs. It's actually really strange writing for something so new that I don't have prior life experience with or decades...

The Riddick video is LIVE

Howdy GGN,

After putting up an admirable fight against my PC, the Riddick video has surfaced. Thanks so much for waiting a little longer for this one. I wanted it to be extra big and extra dumb to differentiate it from the recent wealth of Riddick content. So, hopefully that paid off! I'll keep this short and sweet so I can get back to work on the other two projects on the back-burner and maybe take a nap. I'll be running a poll on the discord soon for the game I cover after Slitterhea...

A glimpse at the coming horrors

Whats up GGN?

Just wanted to thank you dearly for supporting me and my channel and keep you in the loop on whats headed to your content plate. Right now I have three things in different states of completion, with the most complete being:

1. Escape from Butcher Bay/Assault on Dark Athena/Universe Retrospective: Apologies for lagging on gaming content, but I really wanted to go nuts with this Riddick video and make it worth the wait, it also touches on all t...

New SECRET MENU video is LIVE

Greetings, GGN

I don't think I've made it a secret how much of a David Lynch fan I am and even though I had mentally prepared for his passing, it still left me with the desire to pull his work towards me, around me like a security blanket, so the result is this little video looking back at his film career. It's semi-scripted, semi-improvisational. Full of me just rambling about fan theories and favorite scenes and using the word "esoteric" a lot. For sure the guy made a lot of stuff be...

February Update

Howdy GGN,
Just wanted to update you on the progress of whats to come. The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay video is coming along nicely and I've found a wealth of insight and tidbits to include. Unlike many of the games I've covered recently there is actually A LOT of documentation and interviews/commentary from the developers. It will of course include coverage of the 1.5 version, Assault on Dark Athena and I also touch on the films/greater mytho...

Death by Degrees video is LIVE

Howdy GGN,
We got a video in the can! Thanks so much for your support and for waiting a little longer than usual on this one. I felt like I was on a bit of a creative roll and just kept throwing bits at it because they were flowing, ya know? My process is increasingly stream of consciousness haha. Hopefully it doesn't come off as a scatterbrained mess and you find some enjoyment watching me untangle a franchise I've only experienced in my childhood periphery.

There's a couple gags...

Holiday Update

Howdy there, GGN

Hope you're having a swell Solstice and that Holiday Man™ has brought you all you desire, lest you be put in "the device". Just thought I'd fill you in on what I'm working on next, in our post Nancy Drew world. So, the obvious one first: The next game video I've been working on is about the 2005 Tekken spin-off and PS2 exclusive, Death by Degrees. I'm still finishing up the script on it but I feel like there is a lot of fun stuff to explore about it, seeing as ...

DREW CREW, ASSEMBLE

Hey there GGN,
The Nancy Drew video is finally up! Hope you enjoy it. Now for the apologies (it's for me if you'll indulge) due to some significant life changes I had to move rather unexpectedly and my schedule was thrown out of whack in order to find a new place to live and set it up for videos. I'm not big on dumping my personal lore on to you, but for the last 5 years I think I've moved at least once a year. A big part of this is I grew up and have always lived in various places around ...

Shadow Man Video is LIVE

Hey there, GGN. Sorry for the abnormally long wait for this one. Things got IN THE WAY. This ain't the way we should be runnin' things! But, hey we did it. The Nation prevails. Hope you like this one, there are at least two parts that make me giggle.

I have already begun some work on the next two things I wanna get out, one a review of an older adventure game and the other a (less absurdly long) patreon vid. So, I don't suspect as erratic an upload sche...

Fourth Secret Menu Item is live(dead)

Hey there GGN!

I feel like it's been a while. Has it? I dunno. I've been in the content mines for a good while and was just emerging to tell you that my latest deep dive into paranormal content is up for patrons only! A few things:

There is good news and annoying news, for one, it's over 4 hours long. I don't know which category that falls into, but also it's age-restricted. This is sort of justified because it deals with a lot of heavy subject matter...or rather it deals with...

The Max Payne 2 video is up!

Well, 7th times the charm. YouTube really fought me on this one but for now, the video is up and monetized! Hoping it stays that way. Every video is a bit of a learning experience and the lesson this time around is just don't use any clips of a John Woo film from here on out!

Thanks for being patient with this one, I still plan on sticking to the schedule I posted last time so i'll be finishing up writing/recording the patron only vid while I'm setting things up for SHADOWMAN. Thanks ...

Some things are coming...

Hey there GGN,

Just wanted to give you an update on what to expect over the next couple months. Firstly, I kinda F'd this month and got too invested in different projects and couldn't complete one of them in time. So, here I am with a couple vids in various states. I guess, to in some way make up for being late I'll tell you what I'm planning to do for the next 4 vids! I am sorry about the wait between vids being so long, it's not a thing I want to make a regular occurrence, but I thi...

The BUFFY video is LIVE!

Howdy there, GGN

Just stopping by to let you know that the Buffy video is done and dusted (a little Buffy style humor for you hehe(ironic?)). This one started out real easy, but then became a massive headache. On top of having to source all these random clips of things I mentioned, I wanted to update some bits of my format and incorporate a new set (corner of the room) for retro gaming stuff. I've let the video sit online for a while and YouTube doesn't seem to have a problem with it y...

Third Patron-Only Video is LIVE!

Hey GGN,

Just letting you know that my third exploration of obscure paranormal content is now uploaded and it's a little over two hours long. It takes a look at two shows from two different eras that share a host, but feature wildly different vibes. Hopefully some of you get a kick out of a non-believers fascination with this stuff. I mean I've watched so much of it, I have to do SOMETHING with it.

Right now I'm going full steam ahead on a video about the 2004 Buffy the Vampir...

New Video Is LIVE

Hey there, GGN,

Lots of cool stuff going on this month. For starters I just posted my review of Blair Witch: Volume I: Rustin Parr! Terminal Reality's entry in a budget trilogy meant to resurface their flat-lining publisher. I hope you find it interesting and I hope  you don't mind that the video is probably longer than a play-through of the dang thing!

In other news the next patron only video is coming along nicely and is looking to be around the length of the last one at...

Michigan: Report From Hell video is LIVE

Hey there GGN,
Hope you're all doing well and were adequately prepared for Holiday Man's ascension. I won't keep you too long, I just wanted to post the video and let you know how thankful I am that you've supported me all this year. Every day I'm thankful that I get to make these profoundly dumb little videos. Have a good one <3

SYNNERGIST video is LYVVE

Howdy GGN,

It's almost 2AM and I'm coming off some kind of flu so I'll keep this brief. This one was meant to be a shorter, simpler throwback type video, but a lot of life got in the way and well...it may have wriggled out of my hands. But, as I say to myself after every video I create..."I'll do better on the next one." Either way, I hope you like it and that it isn't too apparent that I was sick for half of it and exhausted from moving in the other half. Excited to be set up to work a...

Achievments/Trophies/Spookiness Unending

Sheesh, Whoof, Huff...How ya doin GGN?  I just wanted to share some interesting developments and give you an update as to what I've been up to. BAD NEWS FIRST. I don't have anything finished in time for Halloween. This is rather unfortunate in my eyes as it's the only holiday I observe (aside from the day that Holiday Man visits us. Praise his ascension and may we ascend with him). Thankfully, for me...It's always like this.

The good news is that I have a video that is in editing a...

Invisible War video is live!

It's done. It's finally done. The longest video I've made so far also happened to be the most frustrating. NO FORCE IN THIS WORLD WANTED THIS VIDEO TO SEE THIS VIDEO BROUGHT TO LIGHT. I hope all my fussing over this thing at the very least gets one or two giggles out of you. Thanks so much for your patience and just now that, once again, I do not at all intent for this to be the normal pace of my output. This was a weird fluke that coincided with a lot of life garbage.   I think i'm...

September Update

Hey there GGN, I don't have much of an update to share with ya as we start the new month. As you can probably tell, it's been a couple months since my last game review and I'm sorry it's taken so long. I don't have a great excuse other than I really got into that ghost video and also, the Invisible War video turned out to be like 40 pages long, required (okay, it didn't) three playthroughs and I really want to go all out on it. I promise the next video I'll try to be less ambitious and actual...

New Patron Only Video is LIVE(dead)!

Hey there GGN,

I made an almost 2hr video that wound up consuming a lot of time and I chose to dive head first into it because it was a great help in seeing me through a dark time. You know when you just recede into hermitdom and mainline a shitload of one particular thing? Thats what this is the result of. So, it's been up for a while and hasn't been blocked, but it was the first time I tried. I guess there's no harm in me just editing/reuploading if that happens since it's just for y...

Universal Disappointment

Hey there GGN,

My latest video is live and it's about A VIDEO GAME. It's an odd one and I hope you enjoy me trying to keep track of character names and making funny noises. I felt like I needed to dive into something wacky and obscure to reset my myself after doing two AAA games in a row. I'm going to be honest, I have no idea how this video wound up being so long. It's all such a blur. It was like a constantly escalating challenge to myself. Like, what if I just put the same amount of...

June Update

Vagrant Story is live

Howdy GGN,
My contractually obligated discord vote video on Vagrant Story is finally up. After much struggle and a wacky schedule last month, it is here and as usual I feel like it's not the best, but ALSO as usual I am emboldened to do better next time. I got a lot of ideas swirling around in the ol gamer brain. I'm gonna move full steam ahead with the next Patron only video and pick away at a game review. I've been kind of neglecting messages as I was deep in the content mines, but I'm ...
