This is to give you guys an example of the amount of work that goes into these things. This is nearly a 2 hour production, requiring well over a thousand hours. I really hope you guys like it, because mike and I poured our souls into this one. If you guys haven't, I'd recommend reading the other posts on stuff we've got in development, and other fun things.
Because there is a lot of fun.
And madness.

We are ON TIME to get this out by the 20th. The sheer amount of nonsense we put ourselves through should hopefully make this a hell of an episode.
Thank you all for the support.
Okay, I've decided on my next big 10 with feedback from youse guys, youtube, and so on. I took your input and realized I'd also announced the earlier list a few times, so I sandwiched these lists together:
1. (Part two of Exodus to Elementals) - this one we're doing right now
2. The Mackie and the rise of the Battlemech
3. The Rifleman
4. The Marauder (A lot of requests for this over the time we've done this)
5. The Warhammer (A lot of requests for this again)
6. The ...
2020-05-09 19:01:09 +0000 UTC View PostGentlemen, Here's what the next 90 days are going to look like at least insofar as my creative space:
May: Videos almost every day, Podcast shitposting whenever, until the 20th. Then TTB Launches on the 20th with part II of Exodus to Elementals. It's taken a long while but you have to understand they take forever to make. I'd rather do a goddamn great job than read straight up from the wiki verbatim. That video will be the only video "new" from the 20th till the end of the month so fol...
If you guys wanted any of this, to use or whichever, please do. It's fan art, and I'm getting some of this framed in my house. I think it's neato and I look at it when I feel a bit sad. Picks me up. Self motivating and all that. Also, some hot memes.

Guys, its the end of the month. If you got big bills coming up, got laid off, or want to put it toward self-betterment/other projects/other creators - please, now is the time to drop the subscription before you're charged. A lot of other content creators have been fairly shit at this recently and I've been shown where some switched 'per video' from 'per month' in order to ring out some more dosh during these trying times. As per usual, I'm the guy who's going to tell you anything you give is ...
2020-04-30 16:16:16 +0000 UTC View PostAlright: Mike's working his magic. Film is completely scored, we may go back and make final tweaks on the MEAT of the film. However, we have some fine details to wring out. Commercials are one part. Another is some fun cameos from folks. We're thinking maybe 1-2 weeks though I am hugely tempted to put this out on May 20 to Celebrate Tukkayid's victory. It's insane to think it's been a year since that video, but this ties back to it. Beautifully.
Anyways, a decision to make for you guy...
I'd recommend you guys check this out. I occasionally show here, either playing, or in the audience. But This is fun. If you need something else that's equally fun I have two more recommendations:
1. This is Mr Welch. He's forgotten more about RPGs than most game devs will ever learn. His series "Mad Musings" is a personal favorite of mine and serves as probably the best goddamn review of any game ever made. If you want to know more about an RPG. Any RPG. Ask Mr welch

Just as an update - We are Currently SCORING tex talks battletech. Next up is glorious commercials. Then polish till we're done.
Looking at earlyish next month guys!
This one has been a huge labor of love. I hope you guys enjoy!
1. Podcasting has been pretty damn fun. It requires little effort other than moving the mouth hole and that's easy. There will be episodes whenever we feel like it but I've lined up some guests for the near future and I'm very excited to see where this can go. I'm intending to answer some questions in future podcasts so thanks for putting those to us.
2. Tex Talks Battletech: Mike and I are nearly at the end of what we call the "Bare Bones". That's the timeline complete with all the p...
We're almost done with the bare-bones of Tex Talks Battletech's next episode. I hope to have at least 3 weeks of enhancement and polish to follow to ensure everything is top top. This means scoring, enhancements, gags, animations, and the commercials.
The latest update of the Podcast is up, episode 5 is a Q&A where I answer questions from folks re: What I do and behind the scenes and such. If you want to ask any further questions for a future Q&A, here is quite fine. I'll add ...

1. That's Professor Tex. Drawn by Cenith who does awesome art-draws which we've featured on the channel. You can hire her at Cenith.Arts@gmail.com She's learning how to do battletech shit and is pretty fuckin phenomenal not to mention hard working.
2. More fun podcast shit coming
3. We are hard at work on Ep 2 of Exodus to Elementals. It's just turning out to be a hell of a lot of work, and with the lockdowns in place currently, nothing is going as smooth as we'd like. However, ...
So, as it turns out anybody who plays as much Space Station 13 as I do has a firsthand experience with the wilder and weirder part of the internet. Lo and behold I may have found something too strange to believe, so I decided to share.

2020-04-07 18:02:34 +0000 UTC View PostMike and I are still very much hard at work on Tex Talks Battletech. This episode may be the longest one yet. We're working on making sure we don't just recycle content, but continue to improve in ways we think we can. Aiming for late this month release, possibly early next. Depends on everyone's availability and IF none of us get sick. Here's hoping. So far everyone on the team has been staying safe and doing as well as we can given the circumstances.
I can proudly say there's co...
2020-04-03 14:04:16 +0000 UTC View PostTex Talks Battletech: Part 1 of Episode 2 of Exodus to Elementals is donezo. There are 5 parts. These things take a while and with me being "essential Personnel" I am now picking up as many f'ing hours as I can at work to compensate for us being way down on labor and manpower. Basically I'm one of those idiots who they put in charge of a thing and now realized they sent everyone home who works on that thing. So now the thing is my problem. Thing. That is the job. No like. Mike is powering thr...
2020-03-27 20:24:50 +0000 UTC View PostUpdate: I can tell based on metrics that many of you are indeed home as I am. Worry not about Tex or the Editor as we are both well provisioned, safe, and absolutely ready to see this challenging situation through to the end. We're taking care of our people, and in doing so finding it easier to take care of ourselves. Now, that being said, let's discuss something actually fun.
Content.

As Per Normal, I posted on the YT Community page to let people know where we were - naturally you guys here (being financial supporters and not just randos) get the "Fuller" version of events
So, like many of you I am currently in a status of Isolation for my own safeguarding/safety/preservation. I am not ill but I do fully expect to be before this is all over. I have taken adequate preparations to ensure I do my best through this time and have made further measures available to ensure...
Update: I am working from home as my place of business finally closed. I had volunteered to be the last man standing in any contingency as I felt it was my duty to do so for a few reasons:
1. Sick ass Overtime
2. I'd be the only person there, meaning I'd not be encumbered by the fuckadoodles that make my job difficult and therefore I could get a SHITLOAD more done
3. Many of my coworkers are either old, have lung issues, or have family that do and they're pretty much scared shitl...
Firstly, here's some fun fan art. There's some excellent watercolors and a fine rendition of clan snek Cobra. Lastly there's a drawing by the Legion's own Cenith of me. This is as close as you're going to see a "face reveal". I'm also nowhere near that handsome, I can guarantee you that. These arts are fun times and I appreciate them deeply.
Now, with what's going on in the world, we're going to need to keep our chins up, and accordingly hope for the best. It is my hope in these coming...
I just wanted to say the following:
In the coming days, weeks, and months there's gonna be a lot of crazy in the world. The Media is going to hype up the situation out there, driving nominally sane people to doubt everything, including their safety. I feel full well that youtube being what it is, it will give a platform to many people trying to milk the situation for cold hard latinum. I'm already seeing a hell of a lot of content popping up surrounding this. Either trying to sympathiz...
Audio issues on my end though, curse them

Greetings.
Update is as follows. Final draft is done. I am recording Voice-Over. Then begins the long road to edit and push. ETA is unknown. Juggling a lot of pieces.
Just wanted to let you boys and girls know where we were, and what I was doing.
Now, enjoy yourselves.
