Hello Supporters!
You probably know Mega Man 2 is one of my personal favorite games but I've never actually made a video about it. And that was because it's hard to think of something new about a game as popular and respected as Mega Man 2. But I found an angle - the ending!
This is one of the shorter videos we've made in a while but it was one of the tougher scripts we've had to write. I'm really happy with how it came out, it covers just about everything I wanted to say about the...

Happy All Hallow Spooktober O’ween’s Eve!
For years we've done one big halloween video (with maybe a smaller video). But this year we did something a little different and covered 3 games in a video! And they're all 3 games we think you'll all really enjoy!
We also had a lot of fun filming spooky stuff and putting on makeup which we've never done before. 11 Halloween's in a row and I finally put some makeup on my face!
Also, this video has a sponsored ad and because this is the ...

Hi everybody!
This video was a monster. It took us over a month to check and re-check everything we could about the Nintendo e-Reader, but it's here! This is about the most detailed video would could make on the topic.
This vid was also fun because we switched up the production and added in a ton more liveshots. Also I think we were delirious most of the time. It's a pretty fun video if I do say so myself.
FYI the youtube version will have a section added about No...

Howdy y'all,
We have two massive videos for you today coming down the pipe (Derek's wrapping the other one up right now).
This video started when I asked Derek to turn down the battle music in Dragon Quest XI, and then we started to think about why we didn't like it. That led us down a thorny rabbit hole and into a big ol' 20 minute vid! Hope you enjoy it.
I say this in the video, but I'm not confident this won't get taken down or demonetized, so I'd like to underscore how gr...

Hey!
Grace and I are hot off of PAX West weekend and hustling the next couple of videos before I fly out to Connecticut for Retro World Expo this coming weekend. In the fury of convention recovery, convention preparation, and video production, we just do not have time to record our Monthly Patreon Podcast today.
So no live broadcast recording for our $5 tier supporters today and no podcast recording for the rest of our supporters tomorrow.
BUT we're only moving the podcast to...

Hi everyone!
This video's been a looong time coming, but after the release of Bloodstained: CotM, we felt inspired to look at all of the, well, inspirations behind this vintagevania. This video's a bit of an experiment in the style of the Silent Hill 2 Historical Society video from a few months back, but it ended up being much bigger than we predicted.
Watch till the end! We got a Skeleton related scoop packed in there for ya! ;)

Hi all,
You might have heard this already, but Patreon had a bit of payment issues last month that resulted in a bunch of payments being declined. I think that if you are able to read this, you weren't affected, but the issue did involve Patreon being marked as a "fraud charge" by many banks. It's unclear right now what's being done to solve this issue, buttttt I just wanted to put it out there in case something happens again next month.
ANYWAY, here's the link to the archive...

Hi all,
Welcome to the thorny world of Street Fighter ports! When Derek and I were writing this script, we got into more than one yelling match just trying to wrap our heads around all the different versions of Street Fighter. Overall this was a pretty fun video to make because fighting games have such a rich history and culture.
All of this footage was captured by Derek as I am terrrrrrible with at fighting games. >.<
FYI, this was also sponsored by Dollar Shave Club, ...

Hi guys!
This is my first video since I got all in on production again! It's an experiment in a lot of ways; the structure of it is a bit unusual and we're planning on waiting until about July 24nd-ish to release it (to coincide with No Man's Sky's Xbox 1 release). So super duper hot exclusive!
Derek and I are mostly console gamers, so the idea of downloading/installing a patch has been a stick in my craw for the past couple of years. I needed to know why starting up a g...

Hello everyone!
Originally conceived as a follow-up to our series on Mighty No. 9 and Keiji Inafune (thanks to The Metal Gamer for the idea!), we had to rewrite and reconceive this video after Capcom released its Switch trailer for Mega Man 11 a couple days ago.
We followed up on what's been happening with Mighty No. 9's rewards, the company behind the Kickstarter and consider what would have happened to Mega Man if Mighty No. 9 hadn't been such a hot, hot mess.

Hello Supporters!!
Got a fresh new video for ya, and it's definitely my favorite one we've done in a while!
It was supposed to be a quick project and it ended up being out biggest video since the Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death! And it might be our biggest episode of Punching Weight? I was limited to only the games that we had but I don't think this video could've been much longer. I dug pretty deep, I'm confident most of the hottest scoops are present in this video
The idea for this vi...

We're officially back, and here is our first new video post vacation! The response to our vlog was so nice and supportive and we're so excited to get back to making videos again.
What better way to get back than with some more GBA 3D madness? This Punching Weight focuses on some lovable car trashware that really impressed us. Well, with maybe the exception of Big Mutha Truckers.
This is also the first time we've had a sponsored video! We agonized about this, but ...
