Speedrun Explained 28: Update 1

First off, aiming to get the next Fan-Fiction Friday out this Friday for you all for us hitting 125 Patrons. It's a Transformers fan-fiction so like half of it is absolute gibberish for me and the words make no sense so if it isn't out this week, it's because I'm struggling to read it lol


So, for the next SPEEDRUN EXPLAINED, I'm doing a slight pivot. In my previous updates I had said that I was planning on doing Fallout 4 VR for the next video, but I'm pretty busy right now a...

Speedrun Explained 27: Update 2


Welp, here we are, first draft of the script is done and it's certainly long and packed. I expect it to only get longer after revisions as more info is added. The script took longer to write than any other to date, but it's finally done and we're still on track to have the video done by the end of February.


Things are going much more smooth over here after the rough spat I...

Speedrun Explained 26: Update 1

Hey all, sorry for the lack of posts and updates lately.


I've had a lot going on in my personal life and between just general business from the holidays, in addition to some mental health stuff, haven't been in a good place to work on the video too much lately. I do want to let you know though that it is underway, despite rather slowly.


The next video is going to cover the Any% speedrun of Titanfall 2. It'll likely be out late February. There's a lot to this ...

SPEEDRUN EXPLAINED 24: Update 2

Hey all, would just like to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and hope you're having a save holiday, and say thank you again for supporting the channel through Patreon.


I've spent a lot of the past week and a half on the script for the next video and both myself and collaborator for the video are happy with its current state, and the recording and editing of the video will be beginning this weekend. I'm spending the morning today and tomorrow making all the assets that will b...

SPEEDRUN EXPLAINED 24: Update 1

Hey all, so I've already started writing the script for the next video, which will be a SPEEDRUN EXLPAINED for the Any% run of Breath of the Wild.


I'm super excited for this one, because while Breath of the Wild is outside of the typical wheelhouse for games we go over (in terms of genre), it's right in the wheelhouse for all other things I look for in games to make videos about.


It's a great length (~30 minutes), has a ton of visually stimulating glitches, a...

SPEEDRUN EXPLAINED 23: Update 1

Hey all, there are a few updates contained in this one post.


First is that the next video is going to be a SPEEDRUN EXPLAINED for the Any% DOOM Eternal run. I'm working with seeker again for the video, who helped me make the DOOM (2016), Dishonored, and Prey (2017) videos last fall. I'll be beginning to write the script either tomorrow or Monday, and the video will be out sometime in November.


Now a couple other things. We recently hit 100 patrons, which is a...

Untitled Video Project: Update 2 & Reminder About Billing Change

Hey everybody,


Just one more update on the upcoming video. I've completed two of the three sections for the video (one of which I've shown off to you all in a preview about two weeks back), and the third one is almost finished.


Once it's all wrapped up and approved by the person whose section it is, then the video will be pretty much done aside from wrapping up the intro and outro. Hopefully that should all be taken care of in the next couple days.

Hey all, I finished up 1/3rd of the upcoming video, and I'm super happy with how it came out.


As a thank you for supporting the channel, here it is, 11 minutes of my next video which should be out in about a month.

Untitled Video Project: Update 1

Hey all.


In previous updates (dating back to like April or so), I mentioned that I had an idea for a video that I would be making on the side of my SPEEDRUN EXPLAINED videos. Well that video has finally become the number one priority and I'm solely working on it now. In short, the premise of the video is this...

SPEEDRUN EXPLAINED 22: Update 1

Been hard at work on the next speedrun explained, which as I've mentioned before is covering the Any% run of Fallout 4. Sorry for the wait, but I hope to have it done for you to view on Patreon in the next two weeks.


So far, audio has been recorded for the first 20 minutes of the video, which will be around 60 minutes long. Recording audio is the fastest part of the video making process, and I've knocked out most of the editing that will be going into the video, so I...

ATTENTION ALL: A return to Patreon billing soon

Hello all. (Please read full post because it details change to payment structure)


It's been almost three months since the last Patreon. If you've read my last post, you'll know it's because of the fact that I've been grinding the Fallout 4 Any% run with the goal of getting a run I'm happy enough with to make a speedrun explained for. Well, that goal has been met.


I've started working on the next speedrun explained, and will begin posting updates on i...

BONUS VIDEO: Why is my username tomatoanus?

Video that I've been collecting clips for over the past 8 months or so. Threw them together for this video answering the question that I get most often.

ATTENTION ALL: A change to Patreon billing for the time being

Hello all.


As you know, I currently have the Patreon setup so that patrons are charged at the start of the month. Well, here's the thing. After the latest video, I'm going to transfer my focus/attention to streaming for a few weeks/months as I try to grind out a Fallout 4 run to make a video for. It's been over two years since I did a video covering strictly the Fallout 4 Any% route, and I very much want my next speedrun explained to cover that run since I think it's long ove...

Here's a test rendering of the two minute intro for the next video. Audio will for sure sound different in the final version, and may make a few additional tweaks by the final version. The video itself will be out by the end of May for certain.

SPEEDRUN EXPLAINED 21: Update 4

Just wanted to fill interested parties in on the progress of the next video (100% run of SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom).


I finished up the first draft of the script about a week ago, and spent the weekend reviewing and revising the script on my end before sending off to the person I'm working with on the video.


I got back the notes for the run, and as I expected, they are extensive and lengthy. I'm going to be jumping into a Discord...

SPEEDRUN EXPLAINED 21: Update 3

Hi there, another quick update on the upcoming video on SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom 100%.


I finished up the first draft of the script yesterday, and will be taking the next two to three days reading through it and revising on my own before sending it off to the person I'm making the video with for review. It normally wouldn't take a couple days to revise it myself first, but the script is 46 pages long as it stands. This is one page longer than my...

SPEEDRUN EXPLAINED 21: Update 2

Just a brief update today in regards to the upcoming video.


As I mentioned in a previous post, the next video is a 100% speedrun of SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom.  This is a very long speedrun, clocking in at around 75-80 minutes. 


I've been working on the script over the past week and it's going well, but due to the length of the video we're still a good way from finished. As it stands now, I've scripted about the first 2...
