What Do You Want From Noclip in 2020?

Hey Patrons,

Thank you for trusting me during this perio...

Surprise! Three years after we filmed the interview, we finally got this out. This video isn't going live until some time next week so we figured we'd give our wonderful Early Access Patrons an exclusive first look.  We hope it's worth the wait.

Emergency Half-Life Podcast - Call for Questions & Reactions!

AAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!

Friends, it is a red letter day. 

A new Half-Life was just announced which frames Valve's radio silence when we were doing the Half-Life doc doc (and Geoff Keighley's cryptic answers) in a fascinating new light.

1 Week Until Studio Move - Changes To Expect

Hey folks,

I wanted to give a quick update on everything that's going on over here as things are about to change pretty rapidly in the coming week. 

We get access to our new studio space a week from today (November 1st) but we've got some dudes coming over to replace the carpet that weekend so we won't be getting boxes and stuff in until Monday the 4th. Once that happens you're gonna see a noticeable uptick in behind-the-scenes videos posting to what is currently 2019-10-25 19:18:13 +0000 UTC View Post
