Pausing the Patreon indefinitely

Hi Patrons,

Hope you had a good new years!

The TLDR of this post is:

  • I need a break from video making so I’ll be pausing this Patreon indefinitely.

  • I’m not sure how long I need a break for.

  • I’m very appreciative of all your support over the years!

The longer version is I’ve just lost a bit of the spark for video making and generally find it a far more stressful process than it should be. I recently took a break an...

New vid - True Crime LA Retrospective (early/ad-free)

Hi Patrons,

Been a minute huh! Here's my latest. If you want to see the main channel version which I'll be updating with chapters/subtitles etc. in the coming days, click here. What a funny game True Crime LA is. Like a fever dream.

You may've also seen that I made a retrospective on Killzone for another YouTube channe...

No charge this month :)

Hi Patrons! As the title indicates I won’t be charging for this month. I’m normally aiming to keep on top of YouTube work even when no big videos are coming out in the month, but with exams/life right now, it’s all a bit busy at the moment so I don’t feel I can justify the charge.

In case you missed it, I was on Back Pocket again a few weeks back. Tons of fun. And 2024-11-21 01:29:16 +0000 UTC View Post

I'm the guest on Back Pocket live tonight (again!)

Hey hey!

I've been last minute invited on as the guest for Back Pocket again tonight, which is like a fun 3 hour live show on a couch with some cool aussie industry people chatting games. Just thought I'd make a post to give a heads up - it starts at 7pm AEST here: twitch.tv/back_pocket

I also have some vids about Killzone 1, Watch Dogs, and a very 007 inspired PS2 game called Cold Winter in the works :)

Cheers...

An update, a new 2nd channel vid, and I'm going to PAX Aus!

Hey everyone,

While I work on bigger videos here's one I threw together on the second channel about an upcoming Australian Rules Football indie game I've been closely following the development of. I just wanted to talk about it/support it a bit as it's a homegrown project I quite enjoy. The video will be going live in about 12hrs.

It's been a little quieter around here lately so for a quick update on why - I've actually started doing a master's degree in computer science! I never ...

The PS2 shooter that uses a webcam (early access!)

Hi everyone - new vid!

In the vein of that Wii horror game that uses a balance board, here's a lightgun game that uses a webcam. Just a fun experimental game that let me play around with a different style of video a bit.

I also recently discovered that some of you have left me lovely messages when you signed up here, and I totally missed those messages. Patreon's notification system is very poor on the creator end but it's still on me - I'll be going through and responding to them...

Tomorrow Never Dies PS1 Retrospective (early access)

Hi Patrons!

Finally a new vid - a big deep dive into Tomorrow Never Dies on PS1 featuring an interview with its director Will Botti at the end. Hope you're all keeping well :) Another video out sooner rather than later.

As always chapters/subtitles/SEO stuff will be added to the video in the coming days - just wanted to throw it up here ASAP.

Cheers,

A quick update on upcoming videos

Hi Patrons!

Hope you’re all well and playing better video games than I often do lol,

Just a quick post here keeping you in the loop of what’s been going on over here in minimme land. 

At the moment one of my video goals is to make them a bit longer and more in-depth. Earlier this year I released one of my longest ever videos on 007 Legends, and reviewing how that video turned out as well as listening to feedback, people seem to be enjoying the ...

New early video - The Wii's most experimental horror game

Here's my latest - a horror game on the Wii that uses the Balance Board! This was a blast to play. As always with early videos I'll be staggering out subtitles/SEO stuff over the next day or so, so you may want to wait out for those, but I like to throw videos up here as early as possible for those who don't mind :)

A solo podcast about how much I like Skate 3 (minimme HOF episode 3)

Hi Patrons!

Here's an unscripted solo podcast where I ramble about my love for Skate 3, it's chill, it's a good time, give it a whirl, and if you'd like to see the last couple of episodes:

New video + I was a guest on a podcast + an update!

Hi Patrons!

I just finished a video about a PS1 game called The Book of Watermarks, a weird Sony PS1 game about Shakespeare.

I found this game super fascinating and I also wanted to test myself a bit with t...

007 Legends Retrospective (new vid)

Hi Patrons!


Here's my latest! Hope you enjoy.


Unfortunately due to a sponsor deadline this is only slightly early and it isn't ad-free like usual - I'm uploading this on the road and can't just quickly render and throw up the ad-free version in a pinch. Hope you understand, as soon as it's up I'll attach the ad-free version to this post :)

A solo podcast about how much I like Far Cry 2

RoboCop Rogue City Review (early access)

Hey Patrons!

Here's a new review of the new RoboCop game - a cool and super aesthetic game from the team behind Terminator Resistance.

Funny thing - I don't outright say it but you can probably infer I actually kinda preferred Terminator Resistance to this. If Teyon keep making games like these two though I'll keep buying them!

Hope you're all keeping well and thanks as always,

The latest Q&A video is linked above! It'll be releasing publicly soon and I'll be following up asking for questions for the next one in the coming days.

Also - it's been a minute huh. We're overdue a chat about what's been going on over on my end. I get into a bit of what the plan is for this whole minimme thing in the Q&A vid, but I want to expand on it a bit more. Also, again, thanks to everyone who said hi at PAX last month. It was delightful.

Sony's weird PS3 safari game - early access!

Hi Patrons - new video! One where I ramble about video game realism and use an interesting game called Afrika on PS3 as an excuse to do so!

This game's such a big curiosity because it's Sony published and was marketed alongside the PS3 itself. It's always been a game that I felt needed more coverage so here we are!

Hope you enjoy and hope you're all well,

Red Steel Series Retrospective (Early Access!)

Hi Patrons - long time no see!

It's been a bit since the last video, this one ran into a few road blocks so I'm very glad to finally be here. I'm also on camera in it for bits of it! Fun to get back onto that - definitely a skill I wanna develop.

Hope you all enjoy this and take care!

New Q&A vid!

Hey everyone - here's the latest Patreon Q&A. Cheers for all the questions as always!

Tracking for later this week is a longer video than usual about both Red Steel games, been a blast from the past to go back and check those out. I quite love the first one despite how shoddy it all is. Bit of a passion project video - looking forward to getting it done.

Take care and feel free to get in touch for any reason!

Fast & Furious Showdown video (early access)

Hi Patrons!

New video here - I wanted to cover every major Fast game and chat a bit about why this franchise sucks at producing video games so here we are. Enjoy!

New Q&A coming out very soon, I'm also working on a project about the Red Steel games and also content on some J2ME games again which is a lot of fun lol. It's like peering into an alternate reality video game library that no one ever talks about

The Great Escape's weird 2003 game (early access!)

Hi Patrons,

Here's my video on The Great Escape game - a super odd little product that kind of turned a tactical shooter into more of a stealth-action thing in an effort to retell a classic 60s film. Weird!

Thanks to those who pointed me towards this one recently, glad I checked it out!

Take care,

I'm doing a bit of live streaming (and I'm about to go live!)

Hi everyone!

I didn't publicise it much but you might have seen last week I tried out streaming Far Cry 2 on my 2nd channel. It was heaps of fun so now I'm going to stream regularly just as a fun side thing to the main content.

The current plan is:

  • Stream (almost) every Thursday morning AEST (which is right now)
  • Stream a different game every week, usually something unusual that interests me
  • Steam only for an hour or so - no streaming marathons just ye...
