Better Minecraft - Part 7

Hunting for treasure! An epic journey continues...

Better Minecraft - Part 6

Let's venture further beyond the house to the north! That pyramid looks interesting.

Better Minecraft - Part 5

Let's take to the skies!

Better Minecraft - Part 4

Now we're getting somewhere! Exploring further beyond the base and discovering some more unique BetterMC things.

Better Minecraft - Part 3

Continuing in the world of Caledonia, with an increasingly farcical attempt to catch and skin a rabbit.

I had some problems with the sound in this video, I hope that I've got the background hiss into a place where you can stand it!

Better Minecraft - Part 2

This really is a fascinating game.

Better Minecraft - Part 1

Are you ready for Myst 5?! Well I'm not - here's some Minecraft instead.

The somewhat arrogantly-named Better Minecraft is a large collection of mods that comprise a vast overhaul of the base game - I only recently started playing the vanilla version on Switch to keep up with Penny, and I'm now exploring this version to try to get ahead of her eventual exploration of mods and extensions.

The rest of Uru + final thoughts!

While posting the Uru videos publically, I just realized that I never announced them on Patreon! The Discord has had them for months, but if haven't seen them and you've had trouble sleeping recently, I have the remedy:

Uru - 6

The struggle continues!

OpenTTD - The Tile Update Cycle

Back on these again! This video covers a part of the game that you might not ever have thought about, but which I find such an elegant piece of mathematics that I had to dive in and explain it. I hope you like linear feedback shift registers as much as I do :D

Uru - 5

Dare I think that we're getting somewhere? Don't worry, normal service will resume shortly

Uru - 4

Still struggling to really get a foothold in Uru, but it's got to be said that this video goes a lot better than last time. Then again, that's not saying much

Uru - Part 3

After the previous floundering around I think I'm actually getting somewhere now! It's got to be said the game isn't doing a great deal to help.

Uru - Part 2

There's got to be a game in here somewhere.

Uru - Part 1

And just as I complete one arduous journey, another one opens! I'm not sure why I'm heading into more punishment quite so soon, but here is the other branch of the Myst canon - Uru, set 200 years after Myst IV and about rediscovering the mysteries of the D'ni.

Myst IV: Revelation - Part 13

Finally, it ends. With a bit of assistance, I can make it through the last colour-coded puzzle and wrap up the story.

Myst IV: Revelation - Part 12

Frustration levels get to an all time high in part 12, where we're just wrapping up the last threads of the game before we go for the ending!

Myst IV: Revelation - Part 11

...and then there's this.

Not recommended for anyone sensitive to flashing lights! To be honest, not recommended for anyone at all really

Myst IV: Revelation - Part 10

In part 10 I finally start getting somewhere again! Here is some more storyline building up to a big event...

Myst IV: Revelation - Part 9

And another one! Finally, it's beginning to look like we're getting somewhere.

Myst IV: Revelation - Part 8

Continuing to get back into Myst IV while the drive is here to do so! Here, we continue fumbling around in Spire.

Myst IV: Revelation - Part 7

All right, I got distracted for a while but let's get back to this! We're slowly learning more about why we're here and what we're doing - so let's see what Sirrus has been up to for the last few decades.

Myst IV: Revelation - Part 6

Part 6 already! Moving to DaVinci Resolve has sped up my workflow and it's actually enjoyable to put these videos together again. Things are definitely moving now but I'm not sure in which direction.

Myst IV: Revelation - Part 5

At last some movement! I think I'd gone through two or three ages by this point in Myst III, I'm wondering if the pace of the game is slower or I'm just worse at it.

Like for the Transport Tycoon videos, I've ported all my stuff over to a new video environment for this one. I'm using DaVinci Resolve now - Powerdirector had been good to me ever since I started on Youtube, but recently it's just got unusuably slow. I'm really enjoying the new possibilities DaVinci opens up!

Growing Towns in OpenTTD

It's another OpenTTD video! This time, I'm looking at the code that causes towns to expand, and how to take advantage of it to get large towns quickly.

Myst IV: Revelation - Part 4

Back to this! Sorry there's been such a long time between parts. It is because the game is so indescribably boring.

Transport Tycoon - How stations are named

Another new side venture! I've got addicted to Transport Tycoon again, wanted to know about some of its underlying mechanics and couldn't find anyone who'd done it. Some of them are fascinating.

I'm using some new video software as well (I switched from Powerdirector to DaVinci Resolve) so there's some experimentation with that. I'm paranoid that the video output quality on its default settings is very very slightly less, but it could be my imagination... let me know!

Super Mario World - Part 11

By now we're literally knocking on the front door of the end of the game! But is the wisest thing to do?

Super Mario World, Part 10

It's been a while, but we got together to record Super Mario World again! The end is in sight now...

Myst IV: Revelation - Part 3

Let's return to this, where we wander around the jungle and a sideways boat and don't accomplish very much!
