The Nintendo VHS Tapes

I am back! With video!

January 2019 has not gone as planned over here, and I think my video output kind of reflects that. I've just been feeling really overwhelmed lately, life has been doing its thing, and it's really effected my video-making. I think a big part of it has just been dealing with some burnout after making YouTube videos for... however many years it's been. My inactivity has been a huge bummer, because I wanted to storm into this year with unrivaled productivity. But it's...

Gerbert Returns

It's a VHS review! Wowee!

Been a while since I've talked about a tape, and honestly it was a lot of fun! It's kind of weird returning to a typical video format after doing a few foods in a row, it's a completely different set of challenges working on the two different styles. I think the biggest disappointment for me is that I wasn't able to turn this around on a shorter schedule, I was really hoping I could hammer out a VHS review in a week or so. I really want to find ways to upload faster, ...

i forgot to post this here because i am a failure

I forgot to share the new brutalfoods here, my apologies!

This was a pretty interesting video making experience. I'm not sure you can really tell in the video, but filming so early in the morning was super different, and my bedhead is bad(head). I was definitely groggy for a while, but I hope it came with a bit of authentic morning charm.

I'm looking forward to making a Christmas brutalfoods next month - I still think Popcorn Penguins may be my favorite food video so far. I'm also going ...

Tasty Texas Treats

It has been over a month since my last video, and I am incredibly sorry about that. I'm super busy since moving back to Texas, and unfortunately I've had less time to work on videos. I'm used to being locked away in my office 24/7 to make stuff, so all these new Texas interruptions are going to take some adjusting to.

I really hope you enjoy this video, though! It feels a bit slower paced than some of my other food videos, but I hope that's seen as a positive instead of a negative. It was defi...

Tiny Japanese Burger Kit - Popin' Cookin' Review

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS I SURVIVED

For those that don't know, I just moved again. This video was originally planned to be done before I left, but that didn't happen. I basically filmed everything up in Washington, and edited it down here in Texas after I was done moving. REALLY sorry for how long it took, I initially planned to try and not have a gap, but it didn't quite work out that way. Moving is a lot of work!

All that said, I hope you enjoy this food video!! These mini food kits have bee...

Killjoy - Movie Review (I forgot to post my last video here)

Oh my god I didn't post my science kit video here. I'm super sorry, but I hope you were able to find/watch/enjoy it!

Here's a movie review! After the Caught Between Worlds video, I knew I needed to have Chad back some time to talk about an actual film. I watched Killjoy for fun on my own time and immediately knew I need to have him back, since Chad is a man who appreciates low-budget horror. I hope you enjoy the video! It was a lot of fun to make.

Next up is foods! For those that don't k...

Cooking With Twinkies!

I'm back with food! I originally planned to do a movie review after the Yu Gi Oh unboxing video, but I ended up changing plans. These really are super fun videos to make, I'm still not crazy about how much screen time my face gets, but I get to put in so many fun little jokes that it's really been a joy to edit them. (Also it doesn't hurt that it seems like the YouTube algorithm is into my food vidoes, as well.)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy! A lot of fun to make, but dang did it take a long time. ...

Opening Yu-Gi-Oh! Legendary Collection & Booster Packs

It's time for more Yu-Gi-Oh cards! I unboxed a Kaiba collection a few months ago, and have been wanting to do another one for quite a while. I know this kind of video isn't everyone's favorite, but if you missed the first one I hope you give this video a shot!

I have some more unboxing video ideas for the future, too! On top of the other YGO collections I mention in this video, I've picked up some non-yugioh blind boxes to open down the line as well. I'm not about to turn into an unboxing chan...

Frozen Chippy Cheese Snacks - Junk Food Review

It's time for a new food video! This took longer than I expected to get together, honestly. Videos with a longer runtime are always pretty deceptive when I get to work on them, I always feel like I'll get them done faster than I actually do. So sorry for the wait, I'm going to try to put together something easier next time.

I've been seeing these Cheeto and Dorito things in the freezer isle for a while, and finally caved. When it comes to editing this video I tried to be a bit less intense wit...

Vice City Manhattan - PC Game Review

It's a game review! Remember those?

It's been a hot minute since I've done my last gaming video, and making this one kind of reminded me why. In all honesty I'm just not too happy with my gaming videos recently. I can't say what it is exactly about them, but I find it a lot harder to make an entertaining game review than some of my other more recent formats. I think my streams have surpassed my game reviews in terms of quality, I really like doing gaming content over there on Twitch.

Ramen Noodle Tacos - Weird Recipe Review

Oh man, this was quite an adventure. When I filmed this I imagined it would turn out to be a pretty short video, but this one turned out to be a pretty good length, which is great! Last time I cooked something I figured I'd like, so for this video I went the other direction. I've been getting a lot of cook books in the mail lately, so there's no shortage of foods video ideas.

That said, I was really happy with how my Mall Madness video went over, and I really want to review some other stuff as...

Electronic Mall Madness - Board Game Review

I recently picked up a board game from my past, and I thought it might be fun to share it with you guys! I've tried to make a board game review in the past and wasn't really feeling it, but I think this one came together really well. It was fun to get really close up shots of the board game components, I think the cool style of the board really helped with that.

Let me know what you think! I don't know that I'd do a ton of these videos, but it could be fun to talk about a board game every now ...

Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes - Recipe Review - brutalfoods

NEW FOODS!

Hey guys, hope you enjoy this video! Sorry it took me so long. I was working on a Shenmue review video for a while, but wasn't really happy with it and decided to jar up some cakes real quick while I figure that video out.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this recipe review! I'm having a great time making these.

Hearty Pizza Dip - Retro Recipe Review - brutalmoose

I have been so busy lately, you guys. So much crap going on. I'm glad I was able to finish this video before I left on a trip to Texas, and I really hope you enjoy it!

I was going to try something a bit more complex from this cookbook, but I wanted to make sure I had the time to actually finish editing the video before I left. Maybe I'll revisit it some time!

Thanks as always for watching, everyone, and thank you for supporting me here on Patreon!

What Makes a Good Party? - Televoid!

Man, I hope Televoid fans like this one. It seems like the more time I spend on a video, the less confident I am in its quality, and I spent like 3 weeks on this haha. I feel like I learned a lot while making this episode, and I'm going to try to apply that to the next one... which I hope won't take like 8 months to make.

Anyway. Hope you guys enjoy it! I'll try to get a "normal" video out ASAP, I know it's been a while.

Yu-Gi-Oh! - Kaiba's Collector Box Unboxing

Hey hey, it's a video that nobody asked for!

Whipped this up in a couple of days so I could upload something while I'm working on a different video. Not going to be a main feature of the channel or anything, but I hope it's fun for some Yu-Gi-Oh fans out there!

Thanks for the support everybody, I promise I'm hard at work on something I think you'll enjoy!

Organic Vegan Frozen Food Reviews - brutalfoods

Man, I am so thankful that this food series has taken off. I'm still a fan of reviewing pieces of media, but it is just so fun editing these foods videos!

I hope you like this one! Definitely a category of food I'm new too, and it was a fun experience all around!

I've got some exciting and different things in the works, and I'm hooooping the next video will be something pretty cool. So keep an eye out! Thanks so much for the support, everyone, it means so much to me.

Caught Between Worlds - WEIRD DVD Review - Chad & Ian

Hey guysssss! Here's a new review!

This was admittedly kind of a tough topic to tackle, but I'm actually pretty happy with how the video turned out!

I hope you all enjoy taking a weird journey with us.

Popcorn Penguins! - Retro Recipe Review

It's time for a belated Christmas foods episode!

I really thought I could get this video done for December, but I wasn't able to. I hope you enjoy it anyway, and thank you so much for support in 2017!

I hope I can bring you a lot of fun videos this year. I'll do my best.

A Very Cool Christmas - Movie Review - brutalmoose

Hey everybody!

Today I'm talking about a movie I watched for the holidays called A Very Cool Christmas. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm going to be doing one more Christmas themed video, though I think it'll be a little late. It will be a food video, though, so I hope the delay is worth it!

Banquet Beef Showdown - TV Dinner Reviews - brutalfoods

I'm back with more foods!

Lots of people asked for Banquet meals, so I ate some Banquet meals. I hope you enjoy the video! I'm still not totally sure how to tell if one of these TV dinner reviews is "good" or not, so I just... hope it's good. After editing it for so long I just become numb to it and think it's terrible ahaha.

But I hope you enjoy! Next up issss something? I'm not sure what's up next, honestly.

Pajama Sam 3 - PC Game Review - brutalmoose

GUESS WHO? It's me. Ian. From YouTube.

Today I'm back to some game review shenanigans. Specifically, some Sajama Pam shenanigans. I hope you all enjoy the next review in my never-ending-but-maybe-one-day-ending quest of reviewing all of the Humongous Entertainment titles!

Stuffed Rolled Steak - Retro Recipe Review - brutalfoods

I'm back with some new foods! This time I tried to find a recipe that actually looked like it'd make for a good eat! The comments are already FILLED with some (mostly) polite cooking advice, and I'm going to do my best to improve next time. It's fun to try the "wacky" foods like the banana mayo, but these videos are also going to be a great opportunity for me to learn some great kitchen things.

Anyway, next is a game video! Oregon Trail 4 won the Twitter poll I ran last night, but I'm having t...

Dream Bunny - Failed Children's Show Review - brutalmoose

My current YouTube strategy has been "make whatever I feel like making", and so.... here's THIS THING! Ahaha!

I'm 100% okay if this episode doesn't do very well, because the experience of reviewing something so obscure was just so much fun. I wish there had been a bit more MEAT to the Dream Bunny episode, but what was there was still pretty great. The dialogue/music was a bit repetitive, but I hope the episode turned out enjoyable at least for how bizarre this thing was.

Next up is some ...

Wishbone: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - VHS Review - brutalmoose

WHATS THE STORY, WISHBONE!?

I've been waiting to talk about this for at least half a year, I don't remember when I got my hands on the tape but I knew it'd be my H'ween special for sure.

If you remember Wishbone from back in the day, I hope this was a fun little look back at the show! To be frank, this is the only episode I remember super well, because I think it's the only episode we actually had on VHS. But still, it was a fun re-watch!

Not sure what's up next in terms of videos,...

Hungry-Man - TV Dinner Reviews - brutalfoods

HELLO, MEN. People really wanted me to review more TV Dinners, so I'm back at it with Hungry-Mans! Delicious food for MEN ONLY.

Really, though, I hope you guys enjoy the video! I'm having a really fun time trying out new things and just doing whatever I feel like doing in videos, and I think that's apparent in these recent food efforts. I also like that I've been able to get away with more unscripted content, as I think it gives you guys a better idea of who IAN is, you know?

Anyway, hop...

The Thirteenth Year - Movie Review - Luke & Ian

40 MINUTES LONG! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

The goal of this video was finding a way for me to work with friends that feels more natural than writing a script and sending it to them to record. Instead, Luke and I sat down for a couple hours and talked about The Thirteenth Year, and I edited it down like I would any normal video.

I think the result is a much more natural collab that's an easy and fun watch, but please let me know what you think! I'm not sure about the future of this kind of con...

Banana-roll Salad - Retro Recipe Review - brutalfoods

New kitchen, new brutalfoods brutalformat! This is actually a show idea I've been I've had COOKING for a little while, now, it was just impossible to film in the tiny kitchen.

I really hope you guys like this video! I feel like it's a perfect blend of my love of retro oddities and the recent success of my food videos. I hope it's apparent in the last handful of videos from me, but I have just been having a BLAST making videos lately, which is a state of mind I haven't had it quite a while. I k...

The Fairy King of Ar - Movie Review - brutalmoose

Hey guys!

Whew, these past couple of weeks have been incredibly hectic. Took a weekend trip down to Texas for my nephew's birthday, and got everything all packed up and moved to anew apartment! This video was made right in the middle of all of that. I know it's not my best video ever, but I hope you can still enjoy!

Thanks so much for the support, and I should be posting more frequent videos now that my move is over!

Lunchables Pizza - Foods Reviews - brutalmoose

I hope it shows, but this was a ton of fun to make. Specifically, to edit. I'm glad you guys are cool with me trying out stupid ideas! I think branching out and relaxing lately has really helped my content. I'm sliding back in to the "making videos for fun" headspace that has been so elusive over the past couple of years.

I've got a move coming up real soon, so there might be a tiny gap in videos while I take care of that, but I've got some fun video topics lined up for you guys that I'm excit...
