Hi,
Spider-Man 2 and Alan Wake 2 are releasing a week apart from each other, starting with the former on the 20th. I expect to pick one of these up after I am done with Phantom Liberty. I will for sure get to both, but let me know if you have a preference for which you'd like to see prioritized!
Thanks,
Welonz
Hey everyone,
Hope you’ve been well!!
We’re starting to get into the crazy busy times, so tbh I’m very much sitting here thinking UGHHH let’s hurry up and write this out so I can get back to other work lol. I’ll try to keep this one to the point!
TL;DR
Hi all,
Apologies for the late-ish post! It’s been A Month and I am just. Wow. Okay. And the big gaming block in September/October hasn’t even rolled around yet. 💀 Let’s get started!!
TL;DR
Hi all!
Hope you’re doing well in these summery months. I’m hanging in there although there are some days where it’s Really. Hot. and I literally record with sweat rolling off my forehead 😭(I tend to close my windows/turn off fans to avoid distractions & noise which probably doesn’t help lol)
Anyway! This past month I’ve been struggling a bit - my output’s not where I imagined it to be. In the back I tested various approaches to recording/video publishing workfl...

I’m back from vacation! I hope you’ve been well!!
I had a nice 2 weeks away from the PC and whew did I need that “detox” lol. In doing the whole channel thing, it’s so easy to fall into the hamster wheel routine and lose sight of all else. However I did find myself constantly thinking about what to play next lol, so I’m glad to get back into it again!
There’ve been about 5 million finished series & first looks since the last update post so t...

Hi everyone,
I hope you’re doing good! This is going to be an abnormal update: I am Trying My Best to figure everything out but it very much feels like the "this is fine" meme except the chair the table and even the cup are also on fire……..………… bear with me!!! 🥹
TL;DR
Hey hey,
Hope you are well!
It’s ramping up to be one of Those Months (when is it ever not lol)!! I took the last bit a little easier, did a bunch of first looks cause I didn’t want to commit to big stuff before RE4, which inevitably led me to the “now I know this game is good & I wanna continue but I feel this way about 50 games simultaneously” pipeline and I’m just 🥲...
well I will leave all that for FutureWelonz to think about…!!

Hi!
Bit of a later update again, apologies!! I forgot February is a short month 🗿…
Hope you’ve been well! January over here felt like there was So Much happening, but it’s calmed down a bit (my bathtub faucet is fixed thank goodness) so I am now a sane person again, for now 🙃
I checked & it looks like I did everything I said I was gonna do from the January update post! I know video games are entertainment to be enjoyed and all, but when you make a list, stick...
2023-02-25 19:33:40 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Sorry for the late-ish update! Everything has been A Lot this few days: my day job has been at DEFCON 1, my bathtub faucet has been leaking, and it's getting into busy game release period too!!! It’s one of those times where I just wanna go to a cliff and scream AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA….!!!
... I’m actually still sane so don’t worry – I just need to Get Stuff (= this update post) Done!! Let’s goo!
TL;DR
Jan 21 edit after poll end: Thanks everyone for your help & the food for thought in the comments! I'm actually a little surprised by the poll results, but I absolutely do feel better now that I can see what majority opinion looks like. I'll be continuing with CCR & will make a proper update post in the next few days.
Hi all,
It's been about a day after I uploaded my first Crisis Core Reunion video and surprise surprise, once I started actually p...
2023-01-19 23:41:47 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
It’s the last update of the year!! Hope you are already in relaxation mode, spending time with friends & family. It’s gotten massively chilly + snowy in Western Canada the past few days so I’ve been stuck at home (implying that I would not be at home otherwise right, ha ha ha 🤡)
I won’t keep you for long - let’s get started!
TL;DR
Hi, hope you are well!
Where does the time fly? It’s almost the end of the year already, yet I feel like I got nothing done 🥲 I’ve got a bit of a long one today so let’s goo!

2022-11-23 21:50:39 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Hope you are well!
It felt like we were in a bit of a drought but with October rolling around the release schedule is getting packed again! It’s weird but I think I actually feel more reinvigorated with being busier lol. That, or maybe it’s because my IRL work has been letting up a little too, finally…!
TL;DR
Hi all,
It’s been a rough few weeks with my IRL work being nuts – I hope you’re all doing better than me over here!!
Today’s is not the most groundbreaking of updates but I do have a conundrum with Final Fantasy 7 towards the end – please let me know if you have any thoughts on it!
TL;DR

I say this every time already but with the polls you really can't guess who the winner is until the last second! Congrats to Dragon Age, but no fret to all the other options - I'll get to you eventually...
I feel like it goes unspoken (which I'm changing now lol) that if I end up liking Origins, this will end up being a multi-game commitment leading to the next g...

Feel free to pick up to 14 (total # of options - 1) games in the poll that you'd like to see on the channel!
The number in brackets is the estimated playtime hours (me eyeballing a time between the Main + Extra and Completionist option at HowLongToBeat.com).
The poll will be open until ...
2022-08-16 01:09:58 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Hope you’re staying out of the summer heat! (Or if you’re down south, the cold!)
Here in Western Canada it’s been REALLY hot… that and the lull in release schedule I think has been making me feel kinda off in the past few weeks, like I can’t muster up the energy to do anything. This happens every now and then though so I think it’s a summer thing. A sign from the Gods telling me to go touch grass?! 💀
Anyway, we’ve got a big update today with polls an...
2022-08-12 20:11:14 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
First off, apologies for the late update post! Towards the end of June I had been feeling really overloaded. Something had to give, and I decided a delayed update post is better than delayed videos...
(FYI when things don’t go as planned I do try to tweet out quick updates so you’re not just in the dark, which is what I did prior to this post as well!)
Let’s quickly get to the meat of things!!!

2022-07-07 19:32:50 +0000 UTC View PostHi hi,
It’s been a whirlwind!! Hope you are well as always. My work has been extremely, extremely busy up until this week, but my boss is on vacation for a bit now so I finally have a little time to write this update LOL :^)
TL;DR
Hey all,
April’s come and gone! Games aside, I feel like it’s generally a busy month with Annoying Life Things like taxes, fiscal years ending/starting, school exams, etc. Hopefully yours has been treating you okay!
I had a work break this past week and basically spent it playing games and more games lol. It’s time for me to go back in tomorrow 🥲 but nonetheless it was a relaxing time that really let me stay on top & ahead of the video schedule and all that!
Hi all,
Hope your March has been going great!
This month has been more a breather compared February, but still full of toooons of really interesting games coming out. I only wish there were enough hours in a day to check them all out…!!
TL;DR

2022-03-26 18:11:39 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
Hope you are well!
Things are quite hectic over here both IRL and on the channel so I will try to make this quick! I thought this month was gonna be manageable until Horizon came out, but SIFU ended up being a really big time commitment 💀 Anyway, we’re over that hump now so hopefully things will smooth out.
TL;DR
Hi all,
Blink and it’s a new year already! Hope you’re having a great start to yours 🎊
Over here, I’ve been having a bit of a “break” (mostly focusing on just 1 video series) in the last few weeks. It’s slower than I would like, but I think there’s something here about the myths of 100% productivity and dangers of burning out… Learning to have realistic expectations of myself…! 💦
Anyway, now that February is around the corner things will really ...

The poll finished and the winning game is…
Hollow Knight!
I’m a little surprised by this result! I remember having HK as a poll choice maybe even multiple times and don’t remember seeing this level of support for it. Maybe everyone is dying for Silksong!?
I think this is something a little different from what I usually do (just like how Subnautica, genre-wise, was not Strictly Up My Alley) but it’s also a good chance to try out somethi...
2021-12-20 20:40:45 +0000 UTC View PostFeel free to pick up to 21 (total # of options - 1) games in the poll that you'd like to see on the channel!
I tried to include a mix of AAA/indie options and mainly considered medium length (10-30 hours) games, but did make a few exceptions for things I'm personally interested in/have seen many people consistently bring up. I pulled options from previous polls as well as everyone's suggestions from the last post's comments - thanks so much for those!

2021-12-11 20:31:41 +0000 UTC View PostHey hey,
Blink and it’s the end of the year already! Hope you are doing well with the holiday season kicking in. On the channel we’re gearing down with the big releases and lengthy playthroughs, which means it’s time for a poll soon…!! See the bottom of the post for details!!
TL;DR
Hi!!
The September-spilling-over-to-October wave is over… mostly!!! Whew, I feel like more great games have come out in last month alone than the rest of some slower years. It’s been amazing but I am also breathing a sigh of relief to be frank 🤣
TL;DR
Hey!
It’s been (and still is) a very, very busy month...... apologies that this one is on the later end. There’s a lot to cover so let’s jump right in!!
TL;DR
Hi,
Hope you’ve been well! 😊
Summer’s ending, school'll be back in session soon, etc etc, and the release schedule looks to be kicking into gear again. It's gonna be reaaal busy soon but I definitely can’t complain about lots of cool games coming out!
TL;DR
Hey hey,
How have you been!!! I hope you’re well!! 🙂
Over in west coast NA, we’ve recently had a historic heat wave, and big changes are happening at my IRL workplace too – the whole org moved to a new computer system and you can guess how well this went lol. I’ve been feeling a tad spent cause of all that, but working on the channel has always felt like a nice steady constant! (…for better or worse????? LOOOL don’tworryiamnotdepressedthisisjustajoke...
