DUKE NUKEM FOREVER - EMINENCE FRONT

It's finally come to this. Duke. Nukem. Forever. The legend. The great betrayor. The final nail. 

I thank all of you for your continued support in these trying times. While this wasn't the hardest video to edit, going over footage of Duke Nukem Forever, Randy Pitchford, and anything involved with the production was a depressing affair. I'm glad it's over. The last few days have been mostly tweaks, adding jokes, cutting redundant stuff, and trying to make the video as good as it can...

PRO QUAKE - THE QUAKENING

Hey look it's another video I've been meaning to do forever but I wanted to finish the first three episodes of Duke3d first before starting another "pro" series. I'm slipping it in just before I reach 100k subs and uh... well, you know what happens then.

God help us all. 

And here's the usual stuff:

SINGULARITY - THE LAST RAVEN

Been planning to make this video for months and finally, FINALLY, got around to it. It's a pseudo sequel to the Heretic II video because before doing that one, I'd never played Singularity. Flew right under my radar. What's that? A game that, considering all the money that burned to make it AND the rushed finish, still came out pretty good? I can't describe the bitter taste in my mouth when I typed "The Last Raven," god damn it Activision, #FREERAVEN.  

And here's the usual stuff:&...

PRO NUKEM 3D - SCHRAPNEL CITY

Been a long time coming. I was hoping to get Jon St. John for it but that fell through. Oh well, maybe another time, is what it is, no hard feelings, hope you all enjoy it anyway.

ION FURY - BUILD TO THE BONE

 It's finally Ion Fury time, kiddos, and it's exactly as good as it should be, spoilers ahead, etc, glhf, they pulled it off.

This one will go up tomorrow publicly instead of the normal two-day turnaround barring any major catastrophes or corrections that need to be made.

PRO DOOM: THE PLUTONIA EXPERIMENT

This was actually really fun to make. I hope you all enjoy it because in spite of Plutonia's reputation, it's still my favorite of the IWADs. I like TNT better as a young'n, god I was so dumb.

I HAVE NO MOUTH AND I MUST KREED

EDIT: I HAVE FIXED THE JOKE (AND A COUPLE OTHER THINGS) AN RE-UPLOADED. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.

It's been too long since I've done a baffling, maddening, awful game for the show and this is another one that nearly broke me. And not an in-character, "Civvie gets tortured by a game" kind of way, in the way that I spent two days playing this... THING, and another day looking at other people's playthroughs to make sure they were experiencing the same things I was because there ...

NIGHTMARE REAPER - CIVVIE SHILLS INDIES

I don't like to recommend new games on the channel. I like this one though. And if you don't, I hope it's an entertaining video anyway. Next time we're going back to Civvie Classic ™  with a weird and trashy game, which is always alternatively painful and fun, because the best jokes come from a place of deep despair.

CHAMPION OF EVIL

Amid Evil is a pretty awesome game. Yeah, like Dusk awesome. I don't like to speak highly of a product unless I enjoy it. This one? Amazing. The video is pretty spoiler-heavy - there are two spoiler warnings in it to prevent giving away anything after Episode 4 because that's where the game gets really interesting and unpredictable. Considered doing a series like with Dusk, but like Doom each episode doesn't really have enough meat to fill up 10+ minutes of content unless I ...

MDK - MONSTER DRUNK KAMIKAZE

YEAH, BABY, SOMETHING WEIRD.

This one was fun to do. I got nothing else to say right now. Still waiting on some releases, trying to figure out how to do an extra-special Pro Duke for Shrapnel City, an Amid Evil video, and a few other things currently cooking. I finally bought a giant external drive to keep video capture on which has resulted in me recording almost everything I play. Just in case.

PRO NUKEM 3D: LUNAR APOCALYPSE

Edit: I've re-uploaded another version to cut out the "zoom platform" bit at the beginning because while it's the only place I can find older Duke games for purchase, they've proven to be unreliable. Scott's Mystical Head has failed us! 

It's that time again.

Not the time where I get Jon St. John because that whole thing happened too far into the production of this video

to feasibly get him into it, and then Sigil happened. When I do have a decent plan for what to do wi...

SIGIL - HURT ME PLENTY

So it's finally come to this.

Sigil is going to be a divisive release. Thank god people don't have to pay for it. I suggest waiting because honestly I don't know how it's going to be received from person to person. It took a while and a couple playthroughs to get to the creamy center and really get an idea of what Romero was trying to do. This video went through a few revisions before it was finally ready. TL;DR if you play SIGIL, do it on Hurt Me Plenty First.

Seriously though, P...

POSTAL/REDUX

There's not much to talk about with Postal 1 but there's not nothing to talk about. I'm not a Pro for Postal 1 because, well, it's Postal 1 and it's not as weird or interesting as Postal 2. Scratch this one off the list of long-requested videos, lads.

BLOOD: FRESH SUPPLY - PINK ON THE INSIDE

i don't feel good about this.

But they released Fresh Supply too early and it's buggy and weird. I wanted to like it and for a while it was ok. I've been telling people privately to not buy it. If you're on the discord, there's been a lot of discussion about it over the last couple days as people continue to find more and more problems. It was clearly released too early. I wanted it to be good and could have overlooked a lot of small problems, even inaccuracies to Blood, if it meant a d...

PRO DOOM 2

Been obsessing over this video long enough, trying to tweak everything I could, cutting and adding and trying to get all the weird stuff that only me and like 2 other people might notice.

It's here, now, finally, after catching a couple bugs earlier and re-exporting while trying to reckon with this pseudo-surprise Blood: Fresh Supply thing. It's been a day, kids. I'm not quite sure what the next video is yet - probably something on the new Blood remaster, with Pro Duke #2 and some Posta...

ISLAND PERIL - BAD MOJO

It's been too long since we've had a garbage DOS game on the show. While making this video, I remembered why. Honestly, this is one of the worst things I've ever played. Just trashy even for this show. Makes me feel like a carnival barker inviting people into a freakshow to gawk at humanoid abominations. Some will laugh, some will cry, some will be horrified at the mere sight of them. 

Next time is Pro Doom 2 (unless SIGIL comes out first).

A SHORT VIDEO ON PRODEUS

So Mike and Jason were kind enough to send me a preview build of Prodeus a few days ago. This is another video I'm going to have to make public a little later today so get it while it's hot. Not a bad game so far and I'm kind of shocked at how much effort went into the pre-alpha, like they're doing a kickstarter and want people to throw money at them. (Full disclosure: I threw 20 bucks at them, but I was under the impression that big YouTube influencers like Civvie needed to give them 50 buck...

PRO NUKEM 3D - L.A. MELTDOWN

WE'RE (almost) AT 50K SUBS, PEOPLE! 

Pro Nukem 3D just kind of coincidentally ended up happening around 50k because it's been requested so much and needed to happen. I tried to cram a lot into this episode about Duke history, uploaded it, got a copyright claim on it for a Duke3d music track, changed that music, then remembered I forgot a crucial part of the video, went back, did that, blah blah blah it's here! Enjoy, I love you all, next episode will be some back-to-basics Civvie p...

PRO DOOM - THY FLESH CONSUMED

For real this time.

This is a bit of a shorter video because there's not as much to talk about for one episode of Doom. I wanted to get this one out before SIGIL, which is absolutely coming this month, 100% coming this month and I will never be able to do another Pro Doom video asking where Sigil is. Nope, no sir, not gonna happen.

Next video is another Pro video, long-requested and maybe even dropping around the time I hit 50k subs, or close to it.

PRO BRUTAL DOOM

RIP AND TEAR.
THIS ONE IS GOING TO GO UP  PUBLICLY A LITTLE LATER TODAY BECAUSE IT'S TIME SENSITIVE. THIS ONE IS STILL AD-FREE.
Wanted to have this up Saturday for patrons but it needed more love before it was presentable. 
I'll tell you guys though - Pro Doom: Thy Flesh Consumed is up next ;)

SERIOUS SAM - DEVOLVE OR DIE

I'm not dead, it's just been in intense two weeks of putting this one together and fighting with Premiere to properly export it. Originally, I was just going to do a video on Serious Sam 2, but then I realized I'd be talking about the other games in the main series at the same time and that there isn't a ton of stuff to talk about for First and Second encounter. 

It wasn't the easiest video to script and edit, but I was committed to a gag.

EDIT: I tried to upload this cleaner...

BENEATH DUSK #3

Finally finishing a series, but knowing my luck there's going to be DUSK DLC announced tomorrow.  Next video is definitely going to take longer. It's another review-type video but also an examination of a particular franchise. Could be very, very long. 

Until then: new patrons should read this thing down here:

We're back on track after Hatred, that cursed video that has somehow avoided the wrath of YouTube's bots. Now we're on to not only Post Mortem, but NBlood! What horrors await us in this new port?

THE HATRED VIDEO - SUNSHINE AND KITTENS

 This video turned out to be kind of a nightmare and not for the reasons you might think. Hatred is cursed. I'm almost positive it randomly deleted clips from my timeline during editing and at one point crashed Premiere for no reason at all. But it's here! It's done! It's Postal-adjacent so I thought I should do a video on it, preferably before YouTube notices I'm starting to get a following. Next couple of videos are going to be finishing up Dusk and finally doing Post-Mortem for Blood,...

PRO DOOM - THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY

Why do three episodes when the game is simple enough to do a mind-numbing, one-and-done gauntlet through the whole thing? I'm supposed to be a pro, right? 

I wanted to get this done before Sigil came out, whenever that might be.

500

Holy crap! $500 a month! 

I wanted to thank everyone who pledged to get us to this first milestone. All of you are awesome and I don't have anything planned for it. I never really expected to get this far because YouTube is... you know. I probably wouldn't still be doing this without you guys, THAT'S RIGHT, YOU'RE ALL THE REAL HEROES HERE.

HERETIC II - THE LOST RAVEN

I wasn't expecting this either but it was time for a review video about a good game that I felt was overlooked, again, and also Activision and id are having some weird rights issues and can't re-release it. It had been a long time since I played this game. I'm not saying you should pirate it to get a copy but I'm also not saying you shouldn't do that because it's probably Activision being dicks about it and not id. 

BENEATH DUSK #1

It's DUSK but I'm not a pro because I've had the whole game for like a month don't judge me.

It's about time, though.
