And we're back

Hi All,

I've turned the donations back on, it should begin happening each month as usual now. I know some of you disagreed with my decision to stop in the first place but I do think it ended up helping me a bit.

Halt to donations

Hi All,

With the Galaxy footage I had accidentally recorded in 4:3 even though the Wii has a 16:9 option available so ...

Hi All, The new year is coming on which has me thinking about what I should be working on in the future. This time last year I decided it might be interesting to attempt videos on more independant/small games and as a result I put out a few videos on those in 2014, namely: The Stanley Parable, Uplink, Dustforce and Antichamber. Unfortunately this is only a fraction of what I had hoped to do as I quickly found that doing smaller games wasn't quite as simple as I thought it would be. Just because ...

Hi All, Don't know how many of you will actually see this since I haven't been very active on here but I thought I'd give you all an update on how things are going. First of all let me say that I appreciate the support you've all shown, especially since I didn't even offer anything in return. I wanted to let you know that the money you've sent on has made a tangible impact for me so here's some of the stuff I've bought with the money or will be buying soon. - A 3TB Hard Drive - In order to do ...
