Hiya!
So we were toying on two deas for long form documentaries over the next couple of months, but we're a little behind schedule! We plan on making both of these videos eventually, but we want y'all to pick the one we do next.
The first option is a much needed update of this video (Kojima vs Konami Explained) and would go over how Konami's been doing since firing Kojima, the petty stu...

Hi everyone!
It's DOOM TIME!! So this video will not have as much exclusivity as we'd normally like. This is because we ran into some difficulties with the edit of the Xbox 360 HD DVD video, which pushed back this video more than we'd like. (this video needs to come out today because of sponsor reasons in the Youtube version and because of Youtube algorithm funkiness that I plan on giving you guys an extra update on later today)
BUT. With that out of the way, this video was ex...

Oh my gosh, I am really excited for you guys to watch this one. So after we made our video on Netflix's dealings with the Xbox 360 (which was itself a spin-off of our upcoming Kinect video), I started to get obsessed with the physical media war that directly precipitated it: Blu-ray vs HD DVD. This is the story of how Microsoft tricked Sony into betting on the wrong format, all in the service of win...
2019-09-23 05:17:30 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! We got a action packed September planned for you guys! This vlog (which isn’t charged to the patreon!) was brought on by the upcoming remaster for Link’s Awakening. Derek lays out why this remaster has the potential to be something really special.
We also got a new merch store with two new shirt designs!! One of the designs won’t be live until tomorrow, but you can check out some of the new stuff right now at 2019-09-12 01:08:44 +0000 UTC View Post
Hiya everyone!
Sorry about the delay in uploading this! We had a video project go on a bit longer than we hoped, so a lot of other things fell to the wayside. 😪 Plus side is that next week we'll have a really cool 25+ minute video for you guys to enjoy!
In this ep of the podcast we chatted Autumnal games, video game remasters, and lots of other stuff. Also, this month we moved our podcast recording over to Discord, so don't forget to sign up if you're par...

So for this week we dove into the wild world of 3D graphics on the Game Boy! It was a blast, and I personally had a lot of fun trying to figure out the mysteries behind Faceball 2000. Special thanks to patreon member (patron? patreoner?) cdigames for letting us borrow their copy of Tyrannosaurus Tex!
Next up we're going to put up a video about the Dreamcast, so stay tuned for that one! Last weekend I woke up in a cold sweat because I realized I forgot to feed S...
2019-08-27 20:01:37 +0000 UTC View PostHello Supporters!
Got a new vlog for y'all, talking about Derek's purchase and resell regrets for his video game collection. I realized sitting down for this video that I don't actually have that many collection regrets but that's because these were all so traumatic for me! These stories probably shaped my attitude towards collecting more than anything.
Also, we're going to give these videos an official name, Vlog Skeletons!
Just like that last two vlogs, these are not...

Hi everyone!
Wow! We are so excited! This is the biggest our little patreon has ever been, and we want to thank all of you for your support. To celebrate hitting our goal of 400 patrons, we decided to hit some retro shops and pull the trigger on a couple of Punching Weights we've wanted to work on for a while. I added a pic of a couple of the things we got! :D
I'm going to be real, we got stuff for two videos, and it's the most we've spent on buying games and periphera...

New Past Mortem time! I've been working on a follow-up video on the Xbox for a bit now, but I got totally derailed by a little thing that happened in 2008: the launch of the NXE on the Xbox 360 – and its inclusion of Netflix. At the time streaming on Netflix had only been available for a year... ok now I'm giving away the plot of the video 😜
So anyway, I told Derek about how excited people were about Netflix on Xbox, and he pulled out the Wii's Netflix...

Hi guys!
So we had a bit of technical difficulties recording the podcast live this month, but we don't let that stop us!! We answer your questions, talk a little bit about how we pick video topics, and cap it all off with Derek's latest gaming obsession: Breath of the Wild.
Enjoy! -Grace

We're wrapping up July with a Punching Weight about our favorite Mortal Kombat Ports. I should note here that we're not talking specifically about the worst ones, there are some pretty raunchy ones on Game Boy incaseyoudidn'tknow, but the most Punching Weight-y ones.
So of course we had to start with Mortal Kombat 11 for the Switch. Have you seen that thing?? Just beautiful. Of course we talk all about it in the video, but it really was the inspiration...

People seemed to dig the last vlog that we uploaded, so we decided to make another one! I think that these will be a regular style of video that we'll keep making since they're a bit easier make than our normal videos. BUT since these are easier to make, these aren't (and won't!) be charged to the Patreon. So it's kinda like a fun little extra for you guys.
We actually had two games that we cut from this ...
2019-07-25 18:47:47 +0000 UTC View PostGames with weird carts? I LOVE 'EM! Game with weird carts that allow for primitive motion controls. TRY TO HOLD ME BACK! In this video we cover Kirby Tilt 'N' Tumble, Yoshi Topsy Turvy, and Warioware Twisted, plus 2 Japanese-exclusives and an unreleased prototype, all Game Boy games with different built-in motion controls. Because of that, this video has lots of live-action goofiness, maybe a little more than usual? But we had a lot of fun making this one so we hope you enjoy it!

Happy belated 4th of July
We didn't anticipate talking about Nintendo Switch for the majority of the podcast but the Switch Lite announcement this morning forced our hand! (But also, Nintendo is one of our favorite topics anyway...)
June was a really busy month for us and we're definitely feeling a little tired so this podcast might be more relaxed than typical episodes. But we still manage to debate the future of the console wars and answer questions about the new Yooka-Laylee, a...

What's up skelefriends!
Today is the first wednesday of the month, which means it's time for the monthly patreon podcast. But that's a video over there, so what gives???
Well, it is also July 3rd, the day before a big holiday in the US! And a bunch of Grace's family is visiting Seattle this week for the holiday and we've been too damn busy to prepare and record the podcast this week (also, showing a huge family around a crowded city like Seattle is its own level of exhaustion).

We've got one more video comin' for June!
At the beginning of the month Arin Hanson was rolling through Seattle for a Game Grumps show. We asked him to stop by for a few hours the night before to play some games. Oh, and I asked him to bring the weirdest, wackiest controllers he had! Then we filmed it!
And so we played Crash Team Racing with a Pop'n' controller, Bushido Blade with a racing controller, and Quake 2 with a one-handed RPG controller. Oh and I made Arin ...

Ok, so before I get going, I want to apologize for posting this video so late. We wanted to get this video to you guys on Tuesday, but Bloodstained's launch meant we needed to add a few things.
Anyways, I'm really interested to hear what you guys think about this! I realized this is our first Past Mortem/documentary-style video in a looonnnnng time.... I hope y'all enjoy it! I also know we have a few Bloodstained backers in our patreon (and at least one wh...

After some brief E3 hype chatter, Derek and Grace go deep on Kickstarter games. With Bloodstained finally releasing this month, it's the end of a mini Kickstarter era, the mega-funded spiritual successor. And it's an era that basically opened and closed because of one man, Keiji Inafune. Though it looks like Koji Igarashi's Bloodstained took many lessons from Mighty No 9, it's just impossible not to see Infune's influence on the p...

Hi guys! We have some bigger research projects in the works, but we had a few ideas for videos to put out in the meantime. So I thought it’d be awesome if the patreon could vote on what they’d like to see next since I think that worked out really well for the Random N64 video! If anything seems confusing please comment and I’ll explain it better. OR! If none of these ideas sound good, let me know that too.

This is probably one of the fastest turnarounds we've had on a video in years. Years!! And I'm really proud of how this one turned out. Also it's not everyday you get to make a video with dolphin buddies.

Ok first off, I'd love it if all you guys let us know what your favorite cheats are! Making this video was a ton of fun and I've already been keeping a list of games for if we want to tackle other systems like the Playstation.
Second off, this video was a fun break from how we normally think about videos! It was really fun to dive into our N64 collection and poke around on his games. But even limited to Derek's ~100 game collection it was A LOT. I even had to make a spr...
