New Twitch Show! - "LOOK MA, NO HANDS", starts TONIGHT!

Hi all! Apologies for the lack of recent posts and updates.

As some of you may know, I've spent the last three months working on an upcoming project called Sweetwater. It's going to be a murder mystery/investigation show and it requires dozens of maps, hundreds of icons, and a LOT of planning, all of which I have to do myself. I'll do a formal WIP update on that soon!

As some of you may ALSO know, ever since November my hands have been in absolutely terri...

Every James Bond Movie - Reviewed in MANY Words!

Hi! Earlier this year I had watched all the Bond movies with the intention to release a video when the new Bond film, "No Time to Die" came out in April!

But Covid-19 moved it back to... November. So I watched all those movies and didn't really have an outlet for it. By the time November comes around I probably won't remember very much about any given film and I might not make a video at all, so I figured it'd be better if I gave you guys this audio clip of my best rec...

A compilation of jokes that didn't make it into the video and outtakes from our Voice Actors! Featuring myself, Alejandro Saab as Ryuji, and Brandon Acosta as Mishima.

Cut lines are first, then outtakes/bloopers. The halves of the video are separated by a double-beep instead of a single one.

Open Thoughts on Persona 5 - [SPOILERS]

[WARNING: CONTAINS HEAVY SPOILERS FOR PERSONA 5]

So I was asked to make a StiB for specifically just Persona 5! I'm having some trouble with it and I hoped that talking about the game at length like I usually do with the other Open Thoughts posts would help.

Mmmm not really?

Epithet Erased - Blooper Reel

A small collection of outtakes from Season 1 of Epithet Erased! As a bonus, I've included all of the unused commercial eyecatch dialogue that didn't make it into the show!


"I got confuzzled."


Dawn is trying to say "Now I'm trying to think of western sayings..." but she absolutely said "Now I'm trying to think of western sex" so I'm including it.

Epithet Erased - Official Reveal Graphic/Eyecatch Templates

Hey all! I've been dying to record more behind-the-scenes stuff for Epithet and get to work on the Outtakes and Commentary tracks), but I got the flu over the holidays! So I've been bedridden for four days instead of getting time off! 

So, instead of doing those things (which will probably start releasing to Patreon in mid-to-late January) I decided to upload one of the most-requested posts: An official eyecatch/epithet reveal card template for your original characters! View Post

Sorry for the radio silence! I'm going to be working 24/7 wrapping up production on Epithet Erased's first season next week, and IMMEDIATELY after that I'm flying up to Chicago for a week to decompress over the holidays.

Epithet Erased - Zora's Credits Theme (EP5-7)

This is a bit of an aesthetic spoiler for Epithet Erased, so if you want to go into the show totally blind, maybe skip this post!

So! As you probably know by this point, our new show Epithet Erased has a boppin', jazzy, electro-swing ending theme called Great at Crime. It's sung by the Banzai Blasters, who are a bunch of garbage teenage bad guys who aren't good at anything, but ...

Epithet Erased - Zora

Epithet Erased comes out tomorrow morning! Wow!!! To celebrate, here's a preview of another character! This time around it's Zora, the stupidly powerful bounty hunter who dresses like a cowboy for some reason.

Zora is one of the series' main antagonists, Bliss Ocean. She's the only one we get to formally meet this season, and she's the bad guy in Episodes 5-7!

Zora's VA is the fabulous Dawn M. Bennett, who was VERY excited to voice a stinky cowboy.
