A video of me touching some stuff and talking about said stuff. Hope it's interesting, and not TOO erotic. *warning - fingers in computer slots*

Hallo.
Here is a video about some rubbish box arts I found.
I took a couple of gut-punches mentally in April, but I am rolling with them rather than curling up into a ball which is nice. Apologies for the lower content output - I'm hoping to get back up to speed in May.
Also you are all awesome and thank you.

FINALLY got round to doing this one. Absolute beautiful bobbins of a game.
I'm very tentatively but confidently thinking I'm in a better mental state at the moment. I still have very bad days, and my work/studying is commencing at an absolute snail's pace. But small steps are still steps.
It's been very strange with this sporadic therapy that the NHS has been able to offer me, that I have realised how damaged I am. The anger has nowhere to go, and I do think that has directl...

So, yes. There’s been a lot going on. In between the YouTube algorithm kicking my ass, a literal war in Europe, and a lot of personal stuff, it’s been a kinda difficult to pull all my thoughts together into a newsletter. But there’s also been some really amazing stuff going on. I...

Well for some reason, YouTube removing my last video apparently got to me more than I thought - because it took me forever to find the right mindset to do any more videos at all. There is another one on the way (Big Rigs) but I am going to reupload X-Man as soon as I can.
When I say "as soon as I can" I mean "whenever my crippling anxiety allows me to."
You lot are lovely and I hope you enjoy the vid

I am self-isolating on new year's eve and feel like crap. Which means you guys got this next video! YAY. Or maybe not yay, because it's another Atari 2600 "sexy" game. But you can see it before YouTube slaps the 18+ restriction on it, because they absolutely will and that blows my mind.
This is X-Man, released in 1983 by Gamex. It's not just of note because its a "sexy" game, its also one of the worst games ever released in my opinion. I do hope you enjoy the video, but remember to aver...

Hallo
It's another AWFUL Phoenix-published "game" that has no right calling itself. I managed to complete the final edit of this one and upload it before realising that I had recorded about 30 seconds of windows error noises into the footage. Removed them now, but I don't know what it says if I was that zoned out after watching the frigging "film" however many times.
Hope you enjoy it anyway <3

I recorded the on-camera stuff for three videos which I'm currently working hard on! But Reverend Teacake was keen to make that as difficult as possible.
I know some of you really enjoy seeing the rats be dickheads so thought I would share

Oh hello there you beautiful bastards. I hope you are okay and having a nice time.
What I've got here is the follow-up to the video on the original Mystique three. I found out some really interesting gubbins about the infamous gender-switched versions of the Swedish Erotica games and the other "sexy" ones Mystique did. I actually had fun writing this one.
There is one more "sexy" atari 2600 game to cover which I might end up releasing this month instead of my planned R...

However, the nights are drawing in, the weather’s getting chilly – and you know what that means?

This video does come with a trigger warning, because traumatic subjects are addressed.
It was really interesting to revisit Custer's Revenge now that I actually know how to research a video properly - and found out lots of interesting stuff. There is a follow-up video about the Playaround "sexy" games also coming up soon, I'm just doing the final edit on that badboy.
You may have gathered from my rather dramatic Twitter feed from the last month that I've been in a bad place. I app...

It's another early access for ye olde patronuses. I had this one when I was smol, and I thought it was bobbins. But from what I gather, a lot of people remember it rather fondly.
In any case I do hope you enjoy it a lot. I really did dial back the amount of ball jokes, so I think you will all be very proud of me.

Hallo!
This took far longer than it was supposed to because 1. I was sad and 2. I am a moron who accidentally exported my drawing of Chubby Gristle to use in the video as a 4K asset and couldn't work out why Premiere Pro was melting. I would blame my medication change but I think I'm just generally a bit of an idiot with technology.
This video features the voice talents of Kim Justice, who did such a perfect, aggressively Yorkshire accent for Chubby I couldn't edit her recor...

Hallo my friends. Haaaaaaaaaaaallo.
Thought you might like to see this first draft of a new video, which is purely just the ad-libbing in front of a greenscreen I did while looking at some weird cover art. The final video will have some voiceover bits, because I tend to think of the decent jokes after the camera has been switched off.
This video will probably be out this month and then there are two more which are nearly finished, so you guys will get both of them this month...

New video, this is the most recent game I've looked at. Anubis II, not Ninjabread Man because I feel that's been covered enough (although I did cover that one in this video briefly. I also did a playthrough with a V/O of me raging at that one which I will make exclusive to you lot for like a few months or whatever)
I really hope you enjoy it, you are amazing and wonderful and excellent and all the good things. Capturing the footage for this one was AWFUL. I would certainly ...

Literally this evening I attempted to record on-cam bits for three videos, and my two girls rats had other ideas. Detective Trifles (the one that has worked out how to get out of the shut cage?) and Reverend Teacake (the one who likes to loudly use the running wheel when I'm trying to record) try to get involved.

Hallo Patreon peoples, I was obliged to put my newest video up today because of an agreement with the sponser, and I felt a bit bad that meant you guys didn't get it early. So here is the first iteration of the video ever - back when I just did it as a playthrough with no intention to make it into a fully-fledged video.
Not sure why I decided to make it into a fully researched video, maybe I was having too much of a nice time and needed to bring myself down a peg or two.

We played some crappy Pokemon hacks on a stream, and I had to make a video about them.
Really hope you enjoy my writing in this one, it was fun to do because I grew up with Pokemon and used to be a big fan before the games got easy as all bobbins.

I am back on my baubles with another video. The Action 52 nearly killed me, that video was exhausting to make! But here we are, now hopefully I never have to mention the Action 52 ever again.

Hallo my dear Patreon supporters - here is your early access to a vid that will be going out on Sunday. As you may have gathered, this game nearly broke me.
One weird thing is that I had to use an emulator while I couldnt find my capture card. The ROM for some reason shows a different HUD than on my PAL PS1 version. Tried to work out why that might be, but then realised I was putting a lot of time trying to find the answer to a very boring question. Suppose it's a localisation thi...
