Here are the outtakes from the most recent video!

Crimefest 2015 day one - MICRO-TRANSACTIONS IN PAYDAY 2

I didn't stick anybody's names on this one, partially because I wanted to get it out on time, and partially because it's polarizing, perhaps, and I didn't necessarily want everybody's name on it.
Also, I'm making this one a patron supported video on behalf of all the videos I do on Crimefest. None of those other ones will be monitized, just this one. Last video for the month will be Duskers, so stay tuned! To those of you that are looking at my channel for other things, sorry for all the Payd...

Payday 2 - Chivalry DLC review

Hope people don't hate me for using their clips.

Payday 2 - Captains, Case files and Customizing, Crimefest 2014 goals realized at last!

New Enemy in Payday 2! My goodness.

Payday 2 Perk Decks Updated!

Been coming for a little while, work has been hard, etc. IT'S OUT NOW.

Payday 2 DLC review - The Yakuza Pack

So many Payday 2 related things, I'm swamped! I'll be doing Payday videos until practically next month! Well, here's the start of it! The Yakuza pack.

Major Mayhem PC review

A bit late to the party, but I got a new job that's been draining a lot of my energy. 

Payday 2 - Dodge Vs Armor Vs Grinder

Probably my most rant-y video about payday yet, but I kinda had to get it off my chest. This will not be a paid post, since it's not really a review and it didn't take that much work to get off the ground. Enjoy everybody, enjoy the wonky audio transitions that worked their way into the final draft!

Payday 2 Ninja Pack review

Overkill might have gone a little too far with this one. As a whole, an enjoyable pack, but another in a step which might be leading Overkill down a dark path full of danger and darkness and danger.

Early Access Review - Subnautica

In this video I talk about childhood fears, and how I take pleasure from them in modern/semi-modern gaming.

Payday 2 DLC review - Golden Grin heist and Sokol Character park

Final review of the month! The Golden Grin has been a THING for the last six months since it was announced at the Hype Train. Was it worth the price? Well, check it out.

Dirty Bomb Review - Was it worth my time?

Dirty Bomb, being a free-to-play game, won't cost you any money. It will however, cost you another precious resource: time. This is why I must play! This is why I must review! Was it worth my time? Will it be worth yours?

GUYS I HAVE TO FIX THE XBOX

Turns out that some people noticed me at Overkill! WOO HOO.

But then some other people noticed that video. And then I had to fix the xbox. Apparently.

Payday 2 DLC review - Gage Weapon pack #2 and Gage Sniper Pack

Folks were waiting for this for a long time, I know. Well, here it is! Carl Sagan impression incoming :p

Fallout 4 trailer: A light analysis

My thoughts on the Fallout 4 trailer released over the midnight today/yesterday depending on where you are.

Payday 2 DLC review - The Alesso Heist: Worth $6.99?

Payday 2 Alesso Heist: Satire, Straight up Colab, or Advertisement? 

I came in knowing nothing about this DJ/Producer, and I left hating him. Just collaboration with a games studio does not mean that you can just have your fans pay for an advertisement for your album.

Killing Floor 2 - Early Access Review

This one took a little bit more time to finish, mostly because Claudia gave me a cold, and I fell off my scooter and broke my elbow, and was recovering from that. Despite all this, the review has been finished! I am looking forward to feedback. 

Payday 2 Meltdown Heist review

This one had a quick turnaround, thanks to there being no job in the way of playing, writing, and editing. Happy Mothers Day!

Late to the Party - Elite: Dangerous

I'm really itching to play Star Citizen. With that an impossibility right now, we must play what we can. Fortunately, Elite: Dangerous is actually damned good, and far more than just a replacement for a "better" game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qaWTfpG1Dg&feature=youtu.be

This one took a long time, and I'm sorry for that. Mostly work-related slowdowns, I've had to work a bunch more hours these days. Hopefully I won't have to shortly, but that is up to fate. In the meantime, I am making my conclusion to the Hype Train series a paid post. If you guys mind that, just lemmie know via an email.

Hype Train: Days Two, Three and Four

Behind the 8-ball (my new favorite phrase), but I have my analysis of the middle of the Hype Train event coming to you semi-live here on the youtube machine!

Payday 2 Hype Train - Day one: better than I expected.

I will be covering the Hype Train event for Payday two day by day. I'm a bit behind the 8-ball here, but dayjobs being what they are, I can't devote ALL my time to this project. Still, I think it will be fun to try and cover the event in semi-real time. Don't worry, a review of the Overkill pack is also incoming.

Late to the Party: Sunless Sea Review

Sunless Sea is a game that I have enjoyed, for the most part. There are however a number of flaws that have colored my enjoyment of the game. It's always harder to say a negative thing about something you have enjoyed, but at the end of the day it must be said.

Payday 2 DLC review - Clover and The Diamond

This is a re-upload, in pursuit of a more perfect review. I had left out the information about the Burglar perk deck, and somebody pointed that out, and I felt a fool. So, a day later, here it is.

Payday 2 DLC review - Historical Pack

This one took a while. Work, life stuff, lots of things contributed to this taking almost a month to finish. Still, It's there now, right? I hope you guys all like it!

Preview of Viscera Cleanup Detail review (Patrons Only)

Been working on this one for a little while, or at least, had it in the que for a long, long time. My wrist is finally at the point where I can work on it for more than an hour at a time, so here it is! (p.s. It's small, just a preview version, lemmie know what you guys think!)

Payday 2 review - Gage Weapon Pack #1

Every modicum of support I get brings me closer to being able to make these adorable videos full-time :3 The first DLC pack for Payday 2 focusing exclusively on weapons also included some mechanical tweaks and fixes, setting a precident which Overkill software has lived up to since. The question is, does Gage Weapon Pack Number One measure up to it's brothers? Spoilers: Yes, but with a few caveats.

Payday 2 DLC review - Armored Transport DLC

Out of all the Payday DLC, the Armored Transport heists stand out as the heists that stand out the least. They're not good, they're not bad, they're so mediocre that nobody wants to play them, ever. Why is that? Follow me on a journey into the first paid DLC for Payday 2 and discover the mediocrity!

The Big Bank Heist: Is it worth 6.99?

The Big Bank Heist marks the first time that Overkill has charged for a map pack. Now, veteran heisters wonder: is it worth 6.99 for one heist?

Early Access Review - Prison Architect

A review that has been a long time in the making, six months is a long time to finish a review, but hopefully the wait was worth it!
