Hey Patrons!
Here it is! The first of our new exclusive extended cut interviews; almost two hours of Bethesda history and insights with Todd Howard.
Our Bethesda documentary had many snippets from this but honestly it's probably minute-for-minute the most interest and dense interview about a studio's history that we've ever done. We had originally planned to publish some of these extended cuts on the channel but with Bethesda attracting so much ire ...

Hey Patrons,
It's been two years since we published our documentary on the history of Arkane Studios so we figured it's been enough time to share the rest of the gameplay we captured at the studio. This video showcases around an hour of gameplay from "Ravenholm" with little injections of context from yours truly.

Hey Patrons,
I don't do written posts all that often, but we have a lot to tell you about in this one so I wanted to make it as digestible as possible.
This is a special moment for me as it's the official unveiling of a bunch of answers to problems I've been trying to solve for years. Namely how to find a good balance between accomplishing Noclip's mission, building a community here, adding value to the Patreon, and not burning myself or the crew out in the ...

It's been two years and while covid hasn't gone away, it feels like at the very least Noclip managed to make it through. And while we look towards a future that is slowly opening up (albeit in small bursts) I wanted to make sure we were prepared for a new way of working.

At long last we are ready to share our Black Mesa documentary with Early Access Patrons.
This cut is 98% done with a few additional b-roll elements (book and box shots), a few minor script tweaks, the credits and some small elements of quality control being added to this doc. But we're talking probably 1 minute of changes in a 130 minute video.

It's time to vote for our fourth episode of Greatest Hits.
Based on your nominations earlier this week I've compiled the following set of nominations. The suggestions were fairly lob-sided this time around. We had some new ideas that were just a little too big - but most of the conversation seemed to revolve around the constant Greatest Hits bridesmaids Legacy of Kain and Homeworld.
