Erin Plays

Odyssey 2 and other updates :)

Hey guys! I hope you're staying safe and keeping as sane as possible during these times. Anyway, I just wanted to give you all an update on what I've been working on. 

I'm currently in the process of shooting my video on the Magnavox Odyssey 2! For those of you who have been my patron for a while, you probably know this has been a long time coming. Well, I finally recording game footage and I'm in the process of finishing up the scripted portion and then it's on to editing! I feel ...

Upcoming video updates and more!

Hey everyone! Things keep getting crazier and crazier out there it seems so I hope you all are okay and staying safe! Because of that, I'm trying to be as productive as possible to get out videos and streams to try and keep the escape that is "Erin Plays" going strong. 

My next video is on Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon aka, the first Sailor Moon Super Famicom game. I've been putting off doing a Sailor Moon game video pretty much since I started my channel. The first plan was to do on...

Super Dumb and Silly Outtake from the Final Fight 2 Video

Hey guys! I'll probably regret sharing this, but whatever! Here's a really silly outtake from my Final Fight 2 video. I was awake for waaaay too long while filming this, and then Mike walked in and I lost it. Enjoy :D

And an update on the next video is coming soon. Hope everyone is staying safe!

Upcoming plans for the rest of the month!

Hey guys,

I hope everyone is staying safe out there and washing their hands! With all the scary stuff out there on the news lately, I've been trying my best to stay away from crowds and eat a lot of my meals at home, because I'll admit I'm a tad bit paranoid about getting sick. I heard people with asthma were included on the "at risk" list so I'm staying in doors even more so thank usual. I'm still trying to go for daily walks though. But that's okay, because that means I can just recor...

Update time! Also, I'm pretty sure the video I'm working on is cursed.

Hi everyone! I hope you're well and I wanted to update you all on what I've been working on! 

So, I'm currently edited a playthrough of Virtual Bart on SNES. I hate this game, but in my head I thought this could make for a fun video. I FIRST filmed this in the middle of last year, then scraped it because I thought it sucked. Even with heavy editing, it would just be a shitty episode so I set my Virtual Bart idea to the side. 

Well, I filmed this video AGAIN last week and...

Patreon-only video time! And some updates!

Hey everyone! I am very sleepy while writing this but I wanted to get this out to you all soon since it's been a while. I recently bought this Gradius III soundtrack and I thought it would be fun to do a little unboxing/first impression type of thing with you guys :) So I hope you like the video and I got the record from the Yee Tee:  https://theyetee.com/ 

Anyway, as for updates I have been working on a video about...

Happy New Year! Here's what's coming on the channel

Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed the holiday's more than I did! I was unfortunately pretty sick so I slept through most of it. Anyway, I wanted to get on here and fill you in on what's happening with the channel AND wish you all a very happy 2020!

Also, before I forget I want to mention that I'll be posting a Patreon only video on a lil' something I got recently very soon. I just wanted to make this update separate. 

You may remember a few months ago when I was explaining tha...

Happy Holidays from Pac-Man and I!

Hey everyone,

I hope you’re having a happy holiday season and I wanted to say thank you SO much for supporting me and believing in Erin Plays. I truly appreciate you guys and I hope you have a wonderful New Year.

I’m currently trying to MAYBE get both of these videos out before the new year: first, I’m doing a classic “Erin plays” style video on McDonald’s Treasure Land Adventure on Sega Genesis. I did not expect to enjoy this game as much as I did, so I hope it turns...

I already put this back up high on the shelf so this pic will have to do the job. I'm mad at that thing.

Hey everyone, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving if you celebrate! If not, I hope you're doing well. Anyway, I just wanted to give a quick update about what's going on and vent a little. 

So first off, yes, the room tour is happening. I started filming it last night. It's one of those things where I was like hmm, this should be quick and easy to do! But, NOPE! I'm enjoying the process though and it's forced me to clean up around here, lol. It's coming soon and I hope it turns ...

Patron-only video time! Taking a look at some new CRT TV's!

Hey guys, here's a new video just for you guys! I recently acquired some CRT TV's and I thought this would make for a fun video. Funny enough, one of you actually messaged me after I purchased the Princess TV saying I should buy one. You know me too well XD

Also, it's Patron appreciation day! I just want to say thank you guys SO MUCH for supporting me here. I say this all the time, but every little bit does help. I mean, it helped me buy the wacky princess CRT, for example, which will b...

What's coming to Erin Plays in November

Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed October's Halloween videos. I know I had a good time making them. They were all MAGICALLY easy for me to record and edit. Usually something happens, or I just dread the editing process, but I was lucky enough that it was an enjoyable and non stressful experience. I can't believe it's already the middle (ish) of November!

That being said, I wanted to update you guys on what I have planned. 

My next video will cover Bible Buffet on NES. I know I...

Deleted Scene (scenes?) from my Satan's Hollow Video!

Hey guys! So by now, hopefully you've seen my Satan's Hollow video and if not, you can check it out here: https://youtu.be/NRl_ZyS-XNA

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to share this short portion of the video with you that didn't end up making the final cut! Originally, I had this starting off the let's play portion of the video but after a second pass through I realized it was a bit too choppy. However,  I think...

Update on next Halloween video and more :)

Hey everyone! I'd like to start off by mentioning that juuuust in case you missed it, I posted the Patreon Q and A video last week! Here's a link: https://youtu.be/gY_fXhS5xn0

Anyway, I just wanted to update you on the next Halloween Erin Plays video! This time I'm playing Satan's Hollow. It's a classic arcade game that's a bit like Galaga, but instead Satan is involved and what not so that's always fun. I know it prob...

PATREON Q AND A VIDEO IS HERE! . . . and more!

Hey guys! The Patreon Q and A video is finally here so I hope you enjoy it. It was really fun answering your questions and it was my first time doing anything like this, so, bare with me :P 

ALSO! I am putting the finishing touches on my next HALLOWEEN themed video right now. I'm probably going to be releasing it later today. It's a look at the super controversial video game, CHILLER. It was first an arcade game and then got a super crappy NES port. It's wonderfully awful, and I ha...

Sneak Peak at my first video of the Halloween season!

Hey everyone! Firstly, I'd like to say thank you SO much for leaving me all of those questions for my Patreon Q&A video! I was worried no one would really have anything to ask me, but you guys came up with some really cool questions so I will be making that video very soon. I unfortunately came down with a bad cold so I'm just NOW starting to feel okay to talk. I'm now playing catch up with filming but at least I got a lot of editing done.

Anyway, I wanted to share a quick clip of t...

A look at this year's Halloween Erin Plays "set!" AND Patreon only Q&A!

Hi there! I just wanted to update you all and say that I'm finally starting to film my Halloween videos! So I thought it would be fun to show  you guys a sneak peek of what my little area will be looking like this year.  I love my eyeball lights so of course those made a come back :)

Secondly, I wanted to try something new! I thought it would be fun to do a Patreon-only Q&A. Meaning, you guys can leave me questions here and then I will reply in a video that I'll post soon....

New Video Details!

Hey everyone! I hope your week is going well and I just wanted to give a quick update on my latest video which I personally think is really fun. I try out all three of the Game Boy Advance Lizzie McGuire games! I knew these would be AWFUL, but these are really, really, REALLY bad. But "bad" in a way where it gave me A LOT to talk about, so it's great material for an Erin Plays episode!

Even if you didn't grow up watching the series or having a sister that had these games, I think it sho...

September and October Updates, and more!

Happy September, everyone! October is quickly approaching which means a bunch of Halloween shenanigans are just around the corner! I don't like making text-only posts, so I figured this picture of a random arcade game I took would be a nice touch. (I tried googling this game and found nothing. It was broken when I took the picture, so who knows what kind of game it is/was!)

Anyway, so many of you have been with me for a while now, and if you are newer, I always like to do Halloween-them...

Patreon Exclusive Pick-Ups Video!

Hey guys, I hope you're all having an awesome Summer. I'm about to leave to visit my family in California for a few days, but before I left I wanted to be sure to post a video. It's nothing crazy, just me chatting about some random trading card packs and toys I recently bought! I hope you enjoy it :D

Also, even though I'll be gone for a few days a new video will be coming out next week. I tried my best to get ahead :p I'll post again soon with more updates and as always, thank you SO mu...

Hmm...I wonder what my next video will be.

Hey everyone! I hope you’re enjoying the final days of July. I FINALLY filmed my Spice Girls PS1 video. This was a bit harder to do than I thought it would be because the game is so INSANELY minimal. But I feel like with some editing and my blabbering about childhood memories with this game can make it work.

Anyway, I really do appreciate you for supporting me and I’ll have this video out ASAP! I had more to say and now I’m blanking due to being very sleepy, so I better just end ...

Patreon-Only Video! (For now, anyway.) Interesting early Handheld!

Hey everyone, I hope you're all enjoying the Summer! I'm currently in the middle of adding some shelving/re-arranging "Erin Plays Land," (along with the rest of the house) so I apologize for being MIA from streaming these past few days. I'm hoping to be back into stream mode by later tonight/tomorrow and back to working on videos :)

I'm currently deciding between 2 different things to film at the moment. I'd like to do something that would be easy to edit so I can get it out sooner rath...

E3 madness, Too Many Games and Upcoming Videos!

Hey everyone! I apologize for the lack of posts in June. June was a very amazing and tiring month for me. I flew back to LA to see my family AND film that Sega Genesis Mini segment for E3. That was a very cool experience and I got to meet a lot of people, which was awesome. 

It took me DAYS to finally have the guts to watch the E3 segment. It could have gone worse, but I did notice I misspoke about the cartridge slot (I said "controller port" instead :p) Ah well, what can ya do! It...

Patreon-only video: A few Windows 95 Memories

Hey guys, I wanted to make this very brief video talking about some childhood favorites that I recently bought on a late night eBay binge. So I guess this is a "pick-ups" video? I don't know. 

I'm not much of a ~*PC gamer*~, but I do have fond memories of playing these shitty games when I was little. Enjoy!

I never thought filming gameplay would kick my ass this hard, but here we are.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to give a quick update on the power pad video I mentioned earlier. It’s coming along! But it’s a pretty involved editing process. But first, let’s talk about FILMING the gameplay portions.

So, being an out of shape-asthmatic 31 year old, I knew that some of the more physical power pad games would tire me out. My plan was to originally film this over multiple days, but since I wasn’t thinking about how I would need to do a whole multiple camera set up...

Announcing the launch of my 2nd channel here first!

Hey guys, so I know I've been talking about doing this for MONTHS but I finally have it up and running. Well, kind of. Anyway, my second channel, called Erin Plays Extras is now public!  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwv1mTcHPPZF8-KU1H4rxwQ 

But I'm not really promoting it yet. I wanted to share it with you guys here first because not only are you my biggest supporters, but I al...

I'm excited about my next video!

Hey everyone, I hope you're having a nice weekend. I just filmed the first part of my next video and I'm really hoping it turns out as well as I'm thinking it will.

I know I've talked about some of this before, but I just wanted to give a quick backstory on this: The SNES was my first system, and I got a NES sometime around the time I got my N64 as a kid. I remember seeing a Power Pad at a used game store and I was like "OMG WHAT'S THAT?!" My mom said I didn't need it and she was probab...

Speaking of controllers . . .

I thought it was a funny coincidence that after posting that previous video sorting through controllers, these guys came into my life. Retro-Bit was kind enough to send me their new N64 controllers, called the Tribute 64. They were also who sent me their Genesis controllers (which are actually pretty good, by the way.)

I’m currently editing my review of these and it will hopefully be up very soon.

I always talk about using original hardware, but I understand that’s easier sa...

Patreon video time! Let's talk about controllers

Hello, I hope everyone is having a great week! It's been a while since I've made a Patreon-only video, and I needed to sort through and re-arrange my controllers, so I thought hey- I'll make this a video! 

There's a slight chance I'll make this public at some point in the future but for now, it's Patreon-only. I hope you enjoy this low key vlog :)

Thanks so much for your continued support and I'll be posting soon with more channel and stream updates.

Talk to you all soo...

I filmed something ridiculous last night.

Hey everyone! Long time no talk. It's not that I've been forgetful, it's just that sometimes I have NO IDEA what to write here or post. Anyway, so I've had this idea for a while now but I finally did it--

I thought it would be fun to play a game and try to defeat all the bosses with a Power Glove. (And you guys can probably guess what game I decided to try with this :p ) I never even used one of these things until last night (I got it for Christmas) and yeah--- It's pretty awful. I woul...

Passing 20K Subs on YT (!!!) and other stuff

Hey everyone, I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to say hello and give a quick update on what's happening in Erin Plays land. 

The other night I hit 20,000 subscribers on YouTube which was a pretty big milestone for me. I kind of already said this in my tweet, but when I started back in 2017 I had no idea if anyone would watch my videos.  I remember the first video of mine that hit over 1K views was my Contra video, and then after that I slowly started gaining subscribers...
