Pathologic, For Those Who Will Never Play it Pt. 2 - UPDATE - 07/12/2012

Hey ya'll, hope you're doing well!! The first peek at the next half of our grand play is finally here! I'll be posting it for all the $3+ Patrons immediately after this post goes live, but wanted to provide an update on the overall status of the project to everyone first.

As noted in the title, it is a very rough cut with quite a few assets missing at the moment, including:  

-The majority of voic...

Cyberpunk 2077's Best Scene (& Why It's Terrible)

AND SO IT FINALLY ARRIVES. 

Currently recovering from my second vaccine so gonna just leave this here, hope ya'll enjoy, I'll be back with an update about the Pathologic video soon <3

Update 05/07/2021 - Hell Month and Future Plans

CW: Suicide, grooming, and COVID-19

Hey ya'll. As you might be able to guess based on those content warnings, it's been an eventful month.

But first things first: The Cyberpunk 2077 video will be done within the week. Everything's finished save the last couple minutes and some last minute editing. I know it's been taking way longer than expected. Whole project expanded into way more than I'd expected it to be, but I believe it will be well worth the effort.

That said, tha...

Cyberpunk 2077 Bumper and Update (04/02/2021)

Hey ya'll,

Wanted to touch base real quick. New video is progressing well and should be done within the next week or so. Been taking slightly longer than expected due to some private matters taking up more of my time than expected, but can promise it'll be well worth the wait. This whole project is coming together in ways that I'm incredibly excited for. In the meantime, here's a sneak peak at the opening bumper from the new vid. Think it came out way cooler than I originally planned, e...

Pathologic Part 2 and Plans For March - Update 03/06/2021

Hey ya'll!

Just wanted to touch base really quick and let ya know what's been happening. I know I said I was planning on getting that Cyberpunk video out which obviously didn't happen, but for good reason.

Largely by accident, I wrote a TON of words for the Part 2 of the Bachelor's Route script last month. I wasn't planning on spending so much time on it, but the video has been performing exceptionally well with a pretty constant stream of people talking about how much they're loo...

Advent Children is a hot mess, and I choose to love it.

After spending much time in production hell, the Advent Children video is finally live. Hope ya enjoy~

Still working on scripting for Pathologic Part 2 and currently planning on throwing together a light video about a specific scene in Cyberpunk 2077 that I just can not get out of my head. That will be out by the end of the month. See ya'll then <3

Where to even start lol - Update 01/17/2021

Hey ya'll,

So, first thing's first: Apologies for the lack of updates these past couple months. In case you missed it, the first part of Pathologic, For Those Who Will Never Play It was released. Having gained some distance from it, I've only become increasingly happy with how it turned out and I'm already looking forward to putting together part 2. Given it's massive length and the level of effort that went into it, I...

Pathologic, For Those Who Will Never Play It Pt.1 (PREVIEW: Intro+Day 1+2+3)

IT IS COMING TOGETHER.

This cut has over 40 minutes of new content, the majority of which goes into Days 2 and 3. Other sections such as the intro have been polished considerably, and the majority of voices lines have now been added with only 2 more left to go.

As always though, do remember that this is a preview cut. There are still some placeholder elements and places that will be getting polished, particularly in the latter chunk of the video, but overall I'm quite happy with w...

Pathologic, For Those Who Will Never Play It Part 1 (Early Preview)

Yo!

Been a hectic month, but things are finally coming together. Here's the first 35 minutes of what will inevitably become a 2 hour+ video. This is by a wide margin the most intricate thing I've ever worked on and I've been fortunate enough to have a lot of talented people agree to help me make it a reality by voicing certain characters. In total, this project already has 14 different collaborators, and there will be more to come. Some names you might recognize, others you might not, a...

Perfect Parry Podcast Ep. 8 + Update

Hey ya'll,

First off apologies for the absence again. I touch on what happened a bit in this episode of the podcast, but I feel I owe you all a more nuanced explanation:

So, I finish the FF7R, post it on Youtube, and I was going to post it here along with some behind the scenes stuff because at the time I had gone through kind of a unique process for making that video and I wanted to talk about it a bit, but that kind of write up takes a little bit of time and I didn't want to jus...

Why Final Fantasy 5 Is The Best One (Preview + Update)

Hey ya'll,

New video on Monday, as promised. Got mildly sidetracked with FF7R as well as mental health issues that meant I wasn't able to get this COMPLETELY done until just a couple hours ago, so I'm going to be holding off on publicly posting it till tomorrow for the sake of appeasing the algorithm. However, save the final credits, it is now fortunately totally ready to go, and I figured giving ya'll an early look would just be fair. Probably the most humor centered thing I've ever m...

Post-Animal Crossing Update and New Video Preview

Hi.

First off, sorry about vanishing (again). As most of you probably know by now, I (as well as Jade) was hired to work on the official guide for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It was a fantastic experience, spent a couple months basically living at Nintendo of America which was a thing which I'm sure I'll talk about in the near future. It did come with downsides though, most notably in that it was, shall we say, slightly undersold to me how much of my time it would require. ...

Perfect Parry Podcast Ep. 6 - Tuchungus, Home of the Krangen (Feat. Cullan)

New P3 for ya'll, now featuring our first guest! Once you've finished watching, be sure to check out Cullan's channel and give him the love and support he deserves. Planning to have plenty more guests as time goes on, so if there's anyone you'd really love to see us invite on, don't be afraid to let us know! (Though try to keep it realistic lol)

Life's been especially busy lately as I've been working on another major project not too dissimilar to the Sekiro book that I'm not allowed to...

Perfect Parry Podcast Ep. 5 - The Totally Super on Time 2019 Wrap Up

The Perfect Parry Podcast is officially back and sporting at least part of it's new look! This is going to be the first part of a more general overhaul of the channel's visuals. Planning on having at least one proper video out this month that's unrelated to the Final Fantasy project as well as one more episode of the podcast. Going to make a serious effort to keep the podcast coming out on a consistent schedule. What that looks like exactly is something that remains to be seen, but with the n...

Persona 5 Analysis [Part 5]: This is Totally Fine. // Codex Entry

finally did the thing, ya'll

be back real soon <3

Persona 5 Part 5 (Preview)

Hey ya'll,

Gonna be heading out of town for a week as part of preparation for another major upcoming project (On the scale of the Sekiro guide), but I wanted to get ya'll something before I step away for the the week. This is the first half of the upcoming Persona 5 video which covers up through Okumara's boss fight. The editing is slightly rough in some places as these things always are at this stage and there are certain things I know for a fact will change before final upload, but I...

Final Fantasy 8 'First' Impressions (Post-Disc 2 Discussion)

FF8 is one hell of a game ya'll, let me tell you. For the past week or so, it's been slowly but surely unraveling Jade and mine's sanity like a string of yarn kicked down the Sweet Bro & Hella Jeff stairs, so we decided it was best to just do something, fucking anything, to get those feelings out and next thing we knew the mic was on.

First off, apologies for the audio quality, this was super impromptu and casual which is also why it's kinda rambly, ranty, and you can hear my goofy...

Update 12/02/2019

I am feeling SO much better.

Officially got my head back on, excited to get back to work, and I've been making solid progress on the Persona vid as well as various scripts that are coming together. Next week I'm going to be away from the office for a few days as part of another major project, so I'm going to do my best to get ya'll a preview of the first half of the P5 Part 5 vid before then and I have complete confidence that it'll be out before the end of the decade. However, in the ...

Update 10/28/2019

Hey ya'll,

Hope all's well. Just wanted to touch base about where things are right now and the glacial pace of content at the the moment. Well, there is some truth to that. I talked about this a couple weeks ago on twitter, but to keep it super brief: Shortly after posting the Eva video, my mental health more or less completely tanked. Not even entirely sure why. Could have just been burnout from the Eva video, could have just been a stressful few months getting to me, could have just b...

Neon Genesis Evangelion Episodes 25 & 26 Are Good, Actually // Codex Entry

It is done. Hope ya'll enjoy <3

now back to bed i go

Neon Genesis Evangelion Episodes 25 & 26 Are Good, Actually (Final Preview)

Still needs some polish, still needs the credits, and there is an incredibly egregious editing mistake where a screenshot of my audio files show up due to a file pathing error, BUT it is still none the less more or less complete. I'm going to be taking tomorrow to give it a couple watch throughs and get some feedback, but with any luck the final product should be up on the main channel by Sunday, Monday by the latest. God damn, what an ordeal. Once the dust has settled, I'll be taking some ti...

Evangelion Preview and Update

Emerges from the Video Editing Mines covered in the dust of both diamonds and doritos

Howdy. 

So, turns out, editing an hour long video is, as the experts would call it, Not Easy ™ and I may have slightly overestimated how quickly I could turn them around at the level of quality that I'm comfortable with. The audio editing in particular was an exhausting nightmare to get through because it turns out it takes more than 10 hours to edit 10 hours worth of...

Update and Evangelion Preview

Hey ya'll.  First off, good news: The scripts for both Persona 5 Part 5 and Evangelion are officially recorded. Around 21 hours of audio all together. Going to take a day or two to quite literally breathe a bit, then get right on the Eva video. Having read through and performed it, I'm really excited for this one to come together.

On a related note: A few days ago I started editing a few pieces of the Eva script and wound up making what will be one of the two bumpers ...

Update 7/21/2019

Hey ya'll, just wanted to touch base and let you know where I'm at.

First off, we have begun uploading audio only versions of the Perfect Parry Podcast! That can be found here. Episode 4 is currently live there, but the video version will appear soon.

As for major projects, the upcoming Evangelion script is more or less done outside of some minor tweaks and rewrites. It has become quite the behemoth, cloc...

The Perfect Parry Podcast Ep. 3: The First One About Underrated Games

Episode 3 ya'll. Hope you enjoy <3

Update 06/25/19

Hey ya'll,

How we all doin'? Been about a week since the DMC4 video has been posted. The response has been universally positive so far, to the point where it's still got like a 99% like ratio so far despite pushing 20k views which, given what YouTube is as a website, is absolutely mind blowing to me. I'm also really happy with the balance I found between the more light/jokey elements and the denser, more mechanical focused stuff in that video. Think I'll be trying to strike that vibe a ...

The Perfect Parry Podcast Ep. 2: Gamers Are Upset - E3 2019 BLOWOUT!

New episode where we rant about E3, hope ya'll enjoy <3

Devil May Cry 4: A Flawed Masterpiece // Codex Entry

FINALLY HERE. 

THERE WILL ALSO BE A PODCAST TOMORROW.

THANK YOU ALL SO, SO MUCH <3

DMC4 Video Preview

Hey ya'll, how's it going? Here's an early preview (and functionally the first half of) my upcoming video on DMC4. I was of course hoping that would be a full video, but it's the end of the month and I want to give ya'll something to prove that I'm here and that this is happening.  I am back, and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon.

I apologize for going so long without posting on here. After the Sekiro announcement, life just continued to happen and I still couldn't quite find t...

An Explanation, Finally

At long last, I finally have permission to talk about where I've been:

For the past couple months, I have been working with Future Press on the guide for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. This has been an amazing opportunity that I hope and plan to talk about in great detail in the near future, but suffice to say I am very proud to have been...
