Pokemon Colosseum Sucks: The Movie

It is finally done! Adobe nearly ate this one. I don't even have more words to say here, I'm just so relieved its out there.

New Series! Tama Bytes!

A new series where I examine one element of game design per video!

Heads up! CONTENT INCOMING!

Ive been in the online content creation business for almost two decades now and the advice I've gotten consistently has been to batch create content so that you can spend more time on other things. I typically work from inspiration, so what drives me to make content is very focused and it has always been very difficult for me to sustain interest in more than one project at a time. However tonight Vidit came up with a really good idea for making smaller videos in between the big essays and I c...

Magic Knight Rayearth - Shelved Video Script

After the Dexit video, I asked you all what extras you wanted to see since that video started as like three different videos. Since the Colosseum video did end up getting made and will exist very soon, I have decided to post what was going to be a stand-alone video about Magic Knight Rayearth for the Sega Saturn. I got fairly far into writing it (about 6 pages) when I realized that I was leaning pretty heavily on stuff that I have learned about the Saturn from watching other creators history ...

Exclusive Patreon Content: Marxist Critique of Detective Pikachu

This was public on my channel for a while, but I privated it because I thought it was extremely absurd and also I didn't want people finding it out of context and having to deal with the fallout from that. But for the Patrons who were asking to see it on Twitter, here ya go! This will live here from now on as an exclusive lol. There is no charge to Patrons associated with this post since it is an older video.

An update! My brain exploded and content is leaking out like confetti

GUYS! THERE'S SO MUCH TO SAY I DUNNO WHERE TO START! My brain exploded and I wrote like 20+ pages about Pokemon Colosseum. It needs revising still a little bit and Im playing through the game a 3rd time for footage now but that is going to be a video either in September or early October knowing how things go with editing and revision and whatnot. Very excited.

I actually have partially made another video too about exploring save data of 2nd hand Japanese copies of Gen 3 games but that o...

Behind the Scenes?

For the new "Dexit" video I have kind of a ton of stuff, because basically it started as like 3 different videos.

First I was originally going to make a video about just Magic Knight Rayearth for the Sega Saturn, the Working Designs game featured in this video. I have had a fascination with that game for most of my life ever since hearing it existed in the Magic Knight Rayearth manga. I finally got my own copy of it at the end of 2020 and fell down a rabbit hole because it turns out the...

New Video: Pokémon's ORIGINAL National Dex Controversy

In early access because I can't wait I'm too excited! It's tomorrow in some timezones! CLOSE ENOUGH! ENJOY!

Courtesy Post! A NEW VIDEO IS COMING THIS WEEK!

Hello everybody! 

If you are in the discord server you probably already know this, but this is a courtesy post reminding every pledge that a new video supported by Patrons is going to be in Early Access TOMORROW! That means that since I charge on a per upload basis, you will be charged for this content. Please take some time to review your payment settings to adjust them to your liking before tomorrow.  

Sorry for the late notice, I got logged out of Patreon, so I have m...

Behind the Scenes: Early Pokemon Red & Blue scripts (and final)

Usually I start writing my videos by jotting down some ideas that I have that I know I want to use in the video, and then once I have a bunch of them organizing that into an outline. Well, this video didn't really start that way. Initially, this was not going to be a big project, it was going to be some random thoughts I had about Gen 1 that came up when I was reading the comments to the FRLG video slapped together into a quick easy essay. The plan was to get this out within a month or two an...

Pokemon Red and Blue: Is It Still Good?

It's here! Enjoy!

Pokemon video will be in Early Access this Wednesday!

Hey Good Eggs!

Exciting news, the Pokemon25 video I have been working on for literally an entire year is finally done! I have watched a final draft, just had one minor note that my editor is going to fix tomorrow and then it will be ready to go up early for all of you by midweek. Thanks for all your patience! This is a courtesy post to remind you that I will be charging for this content this week, so please if you need to make any changes to your pledge, do so now. I will be making the ...

Motivated by Spite, A Pokemon Emerald Diary 11/6/21

Last week I began posting in-depth blog posts about my journey through Hoenn as bonus content here for you Patrons. Here's how this week went!

To start with, I went ahead and finished raising Barnabas the Vileplume's friendship with Tomato berries and mixed some Pokeblocks for the Beauty contests. I've been following recipes posted by u/peterpansexuell on the Pokemon Ribbons Subreddit.

(f...

A Day in Hoenn, Pokemon Emerald Diary 11/2/21

A Patron asked on Twitter if I could write some blogs about my adventures in Pokemon Emerald as bonus content for the Patreon. I absolutely can do that, however I have an inability to be brief so these will probably be more than you want or asked for. Anyway let me know if you like this and want to hear more about what I get up to in Hoenn. If you are a part of the Patron discord you probably hear me talk about all this stuff already constantly in #in-game-hangout, but if you only follow on T...

I'm Alive! And content is coming!

I can't believe I haven't posted since March. I got hired by that place and I knew that it would take me a while to find a balance that would allow me to work full time and still create content, but maybe it took me a little longer than I thought it would. (Gonna ramble for a bit, TL;DR at the bottom, new Pokemon content coming!)

The good news is, I have been making progress on that, and it came about in kind of an unexpected way. At the end of last year, I got hired, a...

Update for March!

Hi Patrons, how you all doin? I wanted to give you all a heads up that in the next couple weeks I'm going to be uploading some "Shorts," which are YouTube's new tiktok equivalent of vertical style vids under 1 minute in length. These will obviously not be charged to Patrons at all since they're not full videos, but they seem like a good way to keep the channel growing between uploads so I thought I'd see if I can make myself do something short for once. So there will be some free very short u...

What to expect next month:

Hi Patrons! As you probably noticed I didn't end up getting ANY videos up in January. I got married this month and it ended up being a bit more work than I was expecting to get it arranged and taken care of. So I decided to just take the rest month off since it seemed unlikely that I'd be able to get anything finished in the time I had left. That's not to say I didn't work on videos at all though, so I have a few things in the pipe that will come out... eventually. The Magic Knight Rayearth v...

Plans for January

In December I managed to get up two videos, but it was honestly quite a struggle. January is promising to be a very busy month as there are a lot of things to set up for the rest of the year (getting married among them). I have endless ideas for content and a lot of footage ready to go but unfortunately I am just going to tentatively plan for one video this month. Two if I can get a collection video done in just a week. I need to take this week off to focus on other things. As always though I...

NEW VIDEO! Pokemon Fire Red & Leaf Green Review

Depending on your time zone, I managed to get this up in 2020. Enjoy!

Update on the FRLG Review

The update is... I am on schedule to finish the review next week! I will most likely upload it in early access here some time during the last week of December and then it may go live on YouTube the first week of January since it begins on a weekend. 

Having fun with this one. It's more of an unhinged rant than anything I've done before so... hopefully people are here for that haha. 

New Video! My Weird Playstation Collection

It is finally here! Thanks for your patience. I'm really happy with how the new gear in my office looks haha. It's a bit gratuitous to use the CRT but I had fun filming it. 

Update on this week's video

Hey guys.

On Tuesday night, there was a tragic incident. I was relaxing in bed listening to music on my laptop and Chaz was next to me playing Genshin Impact. He had just handed me the usual cup of tea I have each evening, and was getting into bed beside me. His knee gently nudged the nightstand, making the perfume bottles I had on it clank together. Since I am an insanely jumpy hyper vigilant person thanks to PTSD, this noise made me jump in my seat, and before I even knew what happene...

December is coming! What to expect

I have enjoyed having a month off but I'm itching to get some content made. I am tentatively planning at least two videos for December. I have ideas for three, but considering I am still working several days a week at my other job I don't know what my new production cycle is going to look like quite yet. I hope that I will find the energy on my days off to push ahead on content, but it's hard to know until I get into it how well that is actually going to work. That said I am SO EXCITED to com...

New Video! The Pokemon Trading Card Game for GameBoy

And here is the last video before I take November off. Please enjoy!

A wild life event appears!

As the image above explains, this is somewhat bittersweet. But also pretty exciting. I wasn't too worried about sharing this news with you, because for most of my long time Patrons, one month between uploads is nothing. Y'all have been with me through thick and thin. However I was really enjoying the 3 videos a month and I'll miss it on my break I'm sure.

I have one more video that I've been working on for October that will be in early access this Thursday come hell or high water. I unf...

The Evolution of My Content

Get ready for some supreme level navel gazing 

Timing Update for this week's video

I ended up losing a couple days to migraines this week, so I got behind schedule. My original plan was to finish the video this evening and get it up in early access tonight. Then it would go live for everyone. Unfortunately the video is also over a  half hour long and although I'm nearly finished there's just no way I'm getting it completely done tonight. So I'm just giving you a heads up that it is still coming and that it will go up in early access tomorrow instead of tonight, which s...

My Weird Nintendo 3DS Collection

Alright, it's a night later than anticipated. Something came up on Monday that put me a bit behind. So this will go live on Sunday for everyone and will be in early access til then. Enjoy! Next week is my week off so I'll see you the following week.

Plans for October! Schedule

I have ordered several things for my office to try to up the production value of my videos, and all of it arrives in the first week of October. Because this will take some setting up, I may do one more video this week and then take that first week of October off instead. So my plans are:

Thursday October 1st  - Collection video goes up in early access, goes live Sat the 3rd

Then a week off

Thursday October 15th - Evolution of my Content video to celebrate my channel's 1...

New video: GameFreaks First Game - How They Made Quinty
