Hello friends,
We've been hard at work coloring & editing over 1.5 terabytes of Witcher related footage we filmed in Warsaw earlier this month. So I wanted to give you all an update as to how this project is going to shake-out in terms of content and release timing.
First things first, we filmed a lot. So we're going to have a lot of video no matter what happens. However you may have noticed that our docs have gotten longer and longer over the past year. We've spent more to stay long...

Hey Patrons,
We shot plenty of behind-the-scenes stuff while in Tennessee and Warsaw, but seen as those projects are still a while away from being finished, I thought it would be fun to post some of it early.
During our GTA Online doc we filmed a lot using our Mavic Pro Drone. The plan was to imitate th...

Hey Patrons,
As you are no doubt aware we're working on a bunch of fun stuff including our massive series on The Witcher and a very exciting video where we hang out with infamous GTA Online crew 'Hillbilly Agenda'. So I wouldn't blame you if you probably forgot about all the cool videos we shot earlier this year at...

Hey folks,
We're overdue for a hangout, but it'll have been worth the wait for three reasons.
First, we're coming at you live from Warsaw, Poland where we've been filming our exciting Witcher series. We've just filmed for 4 days, and will have two more left. So loads to talk about.
Second, my right-hand-man Jeremy Jayne will be with along...

Hey friends!
A bunch of folks have been asking about the Warsaw meet-up, and after some conversations with our friends at CD Projekt I found a spot I think should work.
Nocny Market (Night Market) is an old train station in the West of town that has been converted into a market selling food, drink and various knick-knacks. It's outside, has seemingly plenty of space...

Hey folks,
As you are more than likely aware of, myself and Jeremy are heading off to Poland next week so film a bunch of stuff to celebrate The Witcher series turning ten years old. Woohoo! Geralt! But we're actually leaving California today to film another project on the way.
Back when I started Noclip last year I said we wanted to tell stories about the people who play and make video games. I feel like we've done a pretty good job on the mak...

In this video I answer questions about our trip to CD Projekt, future plans for non-Noclip content, launching Danny's Disk Club, driving to Kinda Funny twice a week and loads more.

Hey Patrons,
After months of trying to get my replacement for The Point off the ground, I've finally completed my first episode of Danny's Disk Club.
Danny's Disk Club is a blend of my old games history show Bluffer's Guide (Escape From Mount Stupid) and my more recent opinion show The Point. Each episode I tackle a new story / mechanic / series and analyse its relevance to me and the wider gaming world. If Noclip is the magazi...

We're flying away for the two weeks that Friday so feel free to get as deep as you want into The Witcher stuff, or feel free to ask other stuff too. Truth is we have a couple ...

Hey folks!
So we announced this to Patrons earlier in the week, but the news is now public so here's a public post.
Noclip's next series is going to be a deep dive into CD Projekt's The Witcher franchise. The series will celebrate it's ten year anniversary in October, so we thought what better time to fly to Warsaw and spend eight days talking to the team about the evolution of this franchise.
It's our biggest project to date, our longest filming window and w...

Hey Patrons!
When Noclip launched ten months ago, those of you who were around may remember us blasting through our initial funding goals. In the scramble to figure out stretch goals I reached out to the community for answers. The loudest request by far was for a podcast feed of some description.
It took a long time for me to get around to it, but it's finally here!

Earlier today I posted some Youtube statistics as I was reflecting on the 10 month birthday of Noclip. One of those numbers was 3.7 million. That's the number of views our channel has accrued since launching on September 12th of last year. Another number was $0.00 - the total amount of revenue said views have generated from advertisements.
This caused a number of people to ask; Why? Why not run ads on these videos? If only around 4,000 people ar...

Farewell Cows, Hello Patrons!
Let me tell you, June was a real blur. As you know the FINAL FANTASY XIV series ended up being pushed back to help clean up some of the translations and it just so happened that the week it was pushed back into was the week of E3. So you can imagine how fun that was. Well actually you won't have to imagine, but I recorded a bunch of it. That behind-the-scenes videos is the tip of the content spear™ Noclip will be driving into your unsuspecting toros ...

First of all, welcome to all the new patrons who just signed up to support our work. We hope you enjoyed the FFXIV series and are looking forward to having you on board!
So, I for one am delighted to finally have that project out. It was a wonderful learning experience on Noclip can achieve the best possible results from our work. One thing I've learned is that when we give production room to breath, they mature so much better. Going forward I'm going to use this lesson to f...

We've also put some extra work into the subtitles for this one as we had some feedback that the previous episode was hard to follow (we're going back to clean that one up now too)...

We secured some fun projects this trip and started some interesting conversations for projects next year. Plus the FF videos go live this weekend so we've plenty to talk about.

Hello from Noclip E3 Headquarters!
It's already been a busy time down here in Los Angeles and E3 hasn't officially started yet. Most of the work has involved finishing off these Final Fantasy videos which are going live the second half of this week. But I've also been having meetings with folks about potential future projects, and attending media events like last night's fun at Bethesdaland.
Today I've got an appearance on Geoff Keighley's YouTube stage to break down the Ubisoft Press Co...
