Erin Plays

March Update/ Rambles/ I miss you

Hey everyone! First, I'd like to say thank you so SO much for continuing to support me here on Patreon and hello to the couple of new Patrons I've received since my last update! 

I wont get into it, but I haven't been feeling too well so that has kinda slowed down my video output a tad. BUT I just recorded a new video tonight, which will be a review/reflection/my experience finally beating Batman on NES. I'm really excited about it because I feel like it should turn out to be a sol...

Patron exclusive! Burger King Games outtake: Big Bumpin!

Hi there! I finally put out my Burger King games video the other day (which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPdHKTKqKqM&t=1s ) and it took me FOREVER to edit.

After watching the video, you may ask yourself, "jeeze Erin, why did it take you so long to put this out?!" Well, for some reason editing this felt SUPER tedious. Every once in a while a video does that to me. I didn...

Erin Plays is finally dipping into the XBox...

I can’t wait to get this video edited and be able to share it with you all! I’ve been wanting to do a video showcasing these Burger King games ever since I started my channel back in 2017, and it’s finally happening! I just wasn’t sure how to do it. So expect to see this video come out within the next few days.

I’m a little scatterbrained trying to grow both my YouTube cha...

I'm Starting a New Series . . . Maybe.

Hey everyone! So for a while now, I've been trying to come up with an idea for a video series that could allow me to put out videos faster than my let's plays or reviews. I ALSO know that you guys have been wanting me to share more of my collection/game room, so I decided to put the two together and create a series called "Erin's Show and Tell Saturday's!" 

Now, this wont necessarily be EVERY Saturday, but I would like it to be a semi-frequent thing. The first episode will come out...

BONUS Frozen games and outtakes- Patreon only!

Hey everyone! So, with my latest video on completely disturbing bootleg Frozen games, I had to trim it down a bit because I didn't want the video to be too long. At first I was going to talk about the OFFICIAL Frozen games you can find on the Disney website, so I recorded one of those games which you'll see at the start of this video. It's actually pretty fun!

The other two games are some more weird "pregnancy" themed ones that I thought were funny but they didn't end up making it into ...

Princess Gaming is coming

Here’s a little “inside look” (ugh, I hate using that phrase but I think you get the idea) into my next Erin Plays video!

I think it’s going to be a really funny and good video, but I’m a little nervous to see how people react. Oh, and I’m dressed in a full blown Anna from Frozen costume :p

Anyway, I’m currently editing the video and I want to get it out ASAP. I just thought you’d enjoy this silly picture.

Patron-Only Video: Rambly Life Update!

Hey everyone! I hope you are all having a fantastic start to 2019. Here's a casual video update letting you know what's been going on with me. I'll be posting here again within the next few days with a look into my next video. 

Thanks as always for being amazing. Enjoy!

Christmas Pick-Ups! Patron-only Video

Hey everyone, I just wanted to show you guys some things I recently received for Christmas! What did you get? I hope you enjoy this quick little video :)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

So, a Christmas miracle happened and I actually managed to finish a last minute holiday video before Christmas! It's currently exporting, so unless I want to make any last minute changes after my final watch through then that should be up later tonight. Psst....it's ICE CLIMBER on NES!

Anyway, I would like to wish you all a very happy Christmas/Hanukkah/New Years! I sincerely cherish your support and this year has been amazing. I would continue to go on a sappy rant, but I figure I shou...

3DS Capture Card?!?!?!

Hey guys, I’m currently editing my Laseractive video and I just wanted to post a quick update to let you know that I will now be able to capture DS and 3DS games! This opens up a ton of new possibilities so I’m stoked . . . And a bit overwhelmed since it’s not like I already was drowning in a sea of games/systems to cover! (Not that I’m complaining at all!)

I’ve stopped paying attention to a lot of ds games because since starting my channel, I pretty much only play things I can capt...

Upcoming videos, come see me at Gifts for Gamers, and more!

Hey everyone! I can't believe how quickly December is approaching and it's freaking me out a little. Anyway, I just wanted to give you guys some updates. 

I'm currently editing down the rest of my Rondo of Blood streams, so I can upload them as videos. I ideally wanted this to only be a two part series, but it looks like "part 2" will be me beating the game, and then "part 3" will be me going through the alternate paths are Maria. I guess it's cleaner to have them broken up in parts like ...

McGriddle Taste Test! Patron-only video

Hello! So, this is a silly little video of me trying a McGriddle for the first time ever. I think it's fun to talk about fast food items, so I hope you guys enjoy :) ALSO, you should totally let me know what your favorite fast food breakfast items are. Has anyone ever had Wendy's breakfast? I haven't. 

And more importantly, with Thanksgiving coming up, I just wanted to let you all know how incredibly thankful I am to have your support. I waited a very long time to create a Patreon page, b...

Updates! Updates! Updates!

Hey guys! Buckle up for some ramblin'!

I literally just finished writing the script for (what should be) my next video. Besides my Vectrex video, this is probably the most scripted thing I've ever done. Except I'm taking a bit of a chance because this actually has nothing to do with gaming what so ever. And I know that I've done this before with Lunchables and Kid Cuisine, but I feel like this is slightly more niche. 

Besides retro gaming, another big passion of mine has always been...

Alien Vs Predator Patreon Exclusive! (For now, anyway.)

Hey everyone! So I intended for this video on Alien Vs Predator to be one of my October let's plays. I really enjoyed the game, but after editing the video I wasn't quite sure if it was strong enough to post publicly. I think it starts out strong, but doesn't really go anywhere? Sometimes it's hard doing videos on arcade games like these by yourself because they're a bit repetitive and I was running out of things to comment on, ha. But on the other hand, I really enjoyed playing this and I think...

Decap Attack (Sega Genesis) - Erin Plays Patron Only

Hey everyone! I hope you're enjoying the Halloween season (I know I am,) and I wanted to give you all an exclusive "EP" episode . . . Decap Attack on Sega Genesis! This is like a normal play through of mine except for a little twist - this is me playing it for the first time EVER to get a hang of the controls, figure out what to do and see if it's even a good fit for an episode. Because of this, it has a but of a slower vibe compared to my other play throughs but since you guys are Patrons, I wa...

Patreon-exclusive video! Let's talk about building a Famicom collection.

Hello my lovely Patrons! I thought it would be fun to make an exclusive video for you where I talk about my Famicom, Super Famicom and Japanese Game Boy games. Enjoy!

Another Patreon-exclusive video is coming before the end of the month, too. October has been nuts and I'm trying to get everything done in time, as well as stream plenty of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood! October should be twice as long. I say that every year, but I mean it extra this time!

For example, I spent yesterday filmi...

Everything happens all at once when you least expect it, doesn't it?

Hi everyone! I apologize for the lack of content lately. Without getting into personal details, I've been extremely sick, and I haven't been able to do much due to the severe lack of energy. You may have seen this on twitter, but I received the honor of being YouTube's FIRST Gaming Creator on the Rise! I was going to film a video about this (just for you lovely Patreon people!) but I'm not quite peppy enough yet. This caught me completely off guard and I think it's a wonderful feature they are i...

This isn't for a Halloween episode...this is for September!

I've been wanting to do a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles episode for a long time, but I wasn't sure where to start. Do I focus on one game? Do I do a gigantic episode covering ALL of the games? Just do the NES games? There are A LOT of ways to go about this, but last night on a total whim I decided to kind of throw everyone a curve ball and do a video on the first TMNT Game Boy game. I would like to cover the others games at some point down the line (I mean, how could I not?!) but I think this is ...

Halloween is already here in "Erin Plays" land!

Last year was my first ever "Erin Plays" Halloween. Some of my favorite videos came out during that time, like Splatterhouse and Dracula's Curse, but it was a very stressful month for me. I ended up running out of time to do more Halloween/horror related videos because I didn't plan ahead. I told myself I would be more prepared this year and I am making 2017-Erin proud!

I'm trying to get a head start on my Halloween-themed videos this year so that is what I'm doing this week. My goal is to hav...

Patreon "Vlog" #1- Intellivision games!

Hey guys! Here's my first Patreon-exclusive video. This is simply a laid back look at some Intellivision games I've recently picked up and feel like sharing with you. 

Also, if you haven't seen it yet, my latest video came out yesterday and I think it may be one of my favorite "Erin Plays" videos yet! Pac-Land is a super fun game and I think it's impossible to be sad after playing it. Here's a link just in case: 2018-08-13 17:55:20 +0000 UTC View Post

Doing something very different tonight.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to give you a peek at what's coming up for my next "Remembering. . ." video. Tonight I tried 6 different Kid Cuisines and it was an experience, to say the least. Ah...the things I do for nostalgia. 

I found the Masters of the Universe dinner tray at a retro gaming swap meet a few months back and I was super excited to finally have a use for it in a video! I guess I could have maybe incorporated it somehow in my He-Man video, but what can ya do? 

I've...

Working on my next video

Hey everyone! I hope you're all having a great weekend. Last night I filmed my next video . . . MEGA MAN 2!  I've always put off Mega Man. Basically, throughout my life I'd try different MM games here and there, get frustrated, and give up. Which is DUMB because I'm not afraid of "hard" games. 

I know a lot of people say they don't like the controls in the first one, and the 2nd one seems to be one of the most highly regarded NES games ever. Plus, the soundtrack is amazing and even t...

Hi Patrons!

Firstly, I'd like to say THANK YOU for becoming my first patrons! I was very nervous to launch a Patreon and was worried that no one would care enough to contribute, so I'm totally shocked that (at the time of writing this post) 22 of you believe enough in 'Erin Plays' to show your support! I'm not too familiar with Patreon yet, and I don't want to offer perks that I could possibly fail at delivering, so for the time being I figure my single tier of $1-$10 is good. I'll most likely be sharing ra...
