Hi all,
We’ve made it halfway through 2021 and summer is beginning! The season of spending relaxing time with family & friends, enjoying the sunshine, and of course, playing (and watching) video games 🤣
There’s quite a bit to get to so I’m going to jump right in!!
TL;DR
Hi everyone,
Aaaaaah! Things have been so hectic I nearly forgot to write a post!!! Feels like I blinked and it’s the end of May already! We're almost half-way through 2021!? Whaat!?!?
Hope you're doing well wherever in the world you are. Here in Canada, vaccine rollouts have been steadily increasing, and a lot of my friends are finally getting their first doses. Looks like the end is in sight and we can regain some sense of normality… soon-ish? (but I am still probably going ...

Hope you are well! It’s been a really busy month over here. Usually I try to sneak in writing these at my day job (lol) but we are undergoing some big system changes lately so everything has just been insane.

Subnautica! 🐟
I feel like this was one of the most competitive votes we’ve had! Disco Elysium and Subnautica were neck to neck for most of the poll, but Subnautica pulled through in the last stretch with a burst of support.
As a reminder, every option in these polls is something I'd like to play someday, so if your choice didn't get picked this time have no worries - it's unl...
2021-03-18 08:17:03 +0000 UTC View PostFeel free to pick up to 6 (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 (rounding up the Main + Extra option at HowLongToBeat.com). The poll will be open for a week.
2021-03-10 19:55:10 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
Hope you’re doing well!
Firstly, apologies for missing last month’s update!! I prioritized getting the Q&A out because I reaaally didn’t want to write yet another update about how it’s still not out (though I did miss the “goal” of not starting a new game before it came out, sorry! 💦)
If you haven’t seen it yet, you can find it here:
Hi everyone,
Hope you’re having a good start to the new year!
Since the last update, I wrapped up VTMB and the channel’s been coasting along with Hades and Cyberpunk.
Some of you may have heard that my dad is currently in the hospital (I had made a video update on Twitter.) He was in the ICU for a brain infection since last Christmas, but has apparently been transferred to a normal ward n...
2021-01-23 01:18:48 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
2020 is almost over!! It’s holiday season, so hopefully all of you are mostly lounging around, relaxing and all that. Things have been running pretty per usual on the channel so we’ll cap off the year with a short-ish update.
TL;DR
Progress on Current Stuff
Hey everyone,
Hoping you are all keeping safe! Over here, we’re officially on lockdown again, so there’s that 😬 It’s the second last month of 2020 already…. where has all the time gone!?!?
The next gen consoles have launched on the bright side! For those who’ve got them, how’s your experience so far? I’m probably going to get a PS5 down the line but am in “wallet recovery mode” at the moment lol. Speaking of which - I’ve managed to secure a new RTX 3080 grap...
2020-11-23 21:44:28 +0000 UTC View PostHey hey,
It’s the month of spooky horrors. Happy one week before Halloween 🎃
In Western Canada, our case numbers have been spiking up again. I think similar things are happening in many places around the world since everyone’s been cooped up for so long and understandably feel like they need to get out and breathe. I hope you remain careful and safe out there. Silver lining is that now we all have a bigger excuse for staying indoors and playing video games 🤷

And the winner of the vote is....
Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines! 🧛
VTM Bloodlines lead the poll until the last day when RE1 caught up, then they were tied even up till the last few hours... but Bloodlines pulled through in the end! (Interestingly enough the top two contenders for the last poll were VTM and RE2 - both series seem to be popular choices.)
I've heard good things about Bloodlines so I'm excited for this! I'll be star...

2020-09-19 17:30:33 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Some boilerplate here about it being September already, 2020 sucking, hope you are all safe, etc etc :^). Haha seriously I had a look back at the previous posts and I feel like that’s how I start most of them!! I do hope you’re well though.
Over here in North America’s west coast we’ve recently had some forest fires (thankfully none directly where I am) and the skies have been smokey and the air quality awful. I hope none of you are also affected by this.

2020-09-17 16:48:31 +0000 UTC View PostHey hey,
I hope you’ve been well! It’s the end of August 2020 already… On one hand I feel like it’s crazy that it’s already this far into 2020, but on the other, 2020 can’t be over fast enough. I am sure we are all in agreement of this 😬
I’ve had a super busy month IRL - turns out stuff that needs doing starts piling up if you don’t go outside for too long… but it might’ve been a blessing in disguise! If my driver’s license didn’t need a renewal, I would...
2020-08-23 23:21:50 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
I hope you are well!
Hard to believe but we’re almost 8 months into 2020 already. Time really flies. All the days and weeks seem to blend together, but at least we’ve still got some video games as entertainment and small comfort.
TL;DR
Hi everyone,
Hope you are doing well! Drinking your 8 cups of water a day, getting some exercise and sunshine, etc etc….
I’ve been a bit under the weather the past few weeks so my progress on channel stuff has been slower than I’d like. (No worries I am fine! Maybe it’s the lack of going outside that’s getting to even me, normally an introvert, lol.) TLOU2 got me in gear again though so I’m gonna pick things up again.
Over the past month the channel also hit 50,0...

Hope you are doing well! (It's kinda crazy how quickly that's become the "standard" greeting nowadays, huh...?)
Over in western Canada, restrictions have started relaxing (restaurants opened this week), but the general atmosphere is still to stay home so not much has really changed. It feels pretty dreary but I'm hanging in there. Wherever you are, I hope your situations are letting up too.
Last month, most of my efforts went towards FF7R so it’s going to be a r...
2020-05-22 23:11:31 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
Last update I started off saying the world has been unpredictable - this is probably an understatement now :(
Over here with me in Canada - everything is shut down & I've transitioned to working at home full time. Some of my coworkers are still working on site though so I recognize I'm really fortunate to be able to do so. I'm hoping you & yours are all doing safe and well too.
One thing I'd like to note before jumping into the games stuff: ...
2020-04-22 19:03:13 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
Things have been unpredictable these few weeks - I hope you and your family/friends are well.
Over where I am in Canada, most recreational things + school have been shut down. I work in health care so I’m still clocking in everyday but overall things are okay for now.
Silver lining: being stuck at home with more free time is perfect for video game stuff!

Feel free to pick up to 11 (total # of options - 1) games in the poll that you'd like to see on the channel. (I noted down your indie suggestions from last post and put the longer ones in the poll - the short ones (< 3 hrs) I can probably get to sometime even without a poll.)
The number in brackets is the estimated playtime hours.
May the best game win!
Hi everyone,
It’s the first update of the new decade! It's a little late but I hope you had a wonderful winter holiday, New Years, etc etc.

2019-12-19 19:30:11 +0000 UTC View PostThe poll has concluded and AI: The Somnium Files has come up as the winner! A little surprising to me since other titles like Resident Evil 2 had a strong lead in the first few days, but I guess you never really know until the final second strikes!
This game has both Japanese and English voice acting options - I'm personally okay with either so I'll make another poll to see what is the majority preference is in the next few days. (The Japanese can probably considered th...

I hope you’ve been well! I’m back from my vacation – it was a nicely timed (and much needed) break after finishing Witcher 3, but I’m ready & excited to get back to the wonderful world of playing video games and talking to myself for multiple hours on ends again (....???)
TL;DR
Hi everyone,
Hope you are well! I’ve been delaying this update until two big things finished up so I could file them under “completed” when I made this post lol. Apologies for it being a tad later than usual!
This is also going to be a Sep + Oct combined update as I’ll be away for vacation 2 weeks next month.
TL;DR
Hi everyone,
We’re over mid-way through August! It’s been a relatively standard “started things are ongoing” kind of month as I’ve taken on three mid-to-long length titles (why do I do this to myself), but I’ve completed Wolf 2 today so it’s time to look onto the horizon for new things!

Hey everyone,
The hot summers of July are upon us! 🔥 I hope tons of you are having fun vacationing halfway across the world or something, but for as for me...... Surprise!! I'm gonna be playing video games l o l
