SSFF T-Shirt Reveal!

Hey fam!!

Our t-shirts are coming! And here's the design! 

A few months ago we asked you to vote on a design for the SSFF t-shirt and this doesn't look like either of those. That's because our contact at Fangamer forwarded our concept to one of their artists and they came back with this amazing piece. It's definitely better than anything we would've come up with and we couldn't be more happy with it!

We're very excited to be working with Fangamer, they've always created high q...

SSFF Post Script Podcast Ep 2: Mighty No 9/Inafune

Hello Supporters!

The second episode of our backer exclusive podcast is ready! Derek interviews Grace about the incredibly challenging Mighty No 9 and Keiji Inafune videos! It is a fair bit longer than our last episode because there's much much more to talk about, so get comfy!

And just a reminder, there's still a backer exclusive video to watch if you haven't yet. Space Raiders (GC), Is It Really That Bad? is still up for supporters to watch, it will go public on youtube next week, so e...

Hot Dog Gamer Arrives to Youtube

Hey, so I am not sure if you guys can tell, but we MIGHT not have had a concept for an April Fools Day video until the last minute. Enjoy!

[SSFF] Punching Weight Ep 13 | Console Downloads Before the Internet

Hello again supporters!

One more video for ya if ya nasty!

Grace stars in her first episode of Punching Weight, all about the wild world of console video game download services before the internet!

We apologize for dog-piling these videos on you. After finishing up the Mighty No 9 videos, we were super excited about working on smaller projects for once. We were so excited that we started a bunch of them without focusing on finishing them! 

But the good news is this video...

[SSFF] Space Raiders (GC) Is It Really That Bad?

Hello again, Skeletons Crew!

Got another hot n fresh video for you, and this one will be exclusive for the supporters for a couple weeks!

It's a new episode of Is It Really That Bad? and I'm really excited about it. It's the first IIRTB? episode edited by guest editor Alex Cater and I think he did a fantastic job. Alex brought a flair and style of editing that I know I sometimes lack. I think this is definit...

[SSFF] Ghost in the Shell (PS1) Review

Hello supporters!

Here's the first of a couple videos that are coming your way! This one is going to go live in a bit, sorry, it wont be exclusive for very long. But they other's will be exclusive for a time, so get ready for those!

Hollywood's big-budegt adaptation of Ghost in the Shell comes out tomorrow, so the time was right for us to go back to the 1997 PS1 game. Fun fact, we were originally going to cover this game in our Jumping Flash video a few years ago but ran out of time. If ...

Who is this hot, new rising youtube star??

Who is he??

Update! (T-Shirts, Branding, Videos, Podcasts, etc)

Hi guys,

So, good news, it looks like we finally have a timeline for T-shirts, which is they will be available by the end of May. We just finalized our contract with Fangamer, so we are all go! :D

Also, just an FYI, we are planning on updating our logos, banners, and bumpers for Patreon, Youtube, Twitter, etc. So if you see someone on your feeds who looks like a weirdo you don't recognize, it's probably us! We are planning on putting this into effect on April 3rd. 

As far as ...

T-Shirt Update...

Hi Everyone!

On the t-shirt front, first off we would like to apologize for the long delay in getting the t-shirts ready. We have struck up a deal with fangamer, and they are currently tweaking our design to make sure that it is high-quality and print ready. We are hoping to have some good news on that front soon!

Until then, stay radical,

Grace

Mighty No 9 / Inafune Podcast Questions Needed!

Hello Skeleton Crew!!

Grace and I are finally recording a Post Script Podcast for the Mighty No 9 and Inafune videos. I will be hosting the podcast, interviewing Grace as these projects were largely her babies. BUT we'd gladly take questions from you all! Is there anything from the Mighty No 9 Kickstarter Breakdown and Keiji Inafune videos you'd like to know?

We'll be recording it later today, so get your questions in ASAP! 

Also, check out the previous podcast where Derek des...

[SSFF] Mini Mortem: Reggie vs Mother 3

Surprise! Another freaking video!! And another new show (kinda).

Ok, we said that we weren't going to be making any more new shows in 2017, but we occasionally need projects that aren't so research intensive. Punching Weight works this way, but we wanted MORE. So we thought up Mini Mortem, just like Past Mortem but just smaller stories. Pretty simple. Grace came up with both "Mortem" titles by the way!

Funny story, the Marvel vs Capcom was originally going to be the first Mini Mortem but...

Past Mortem: Marvel vs. Capcom vs. The Infinity Liscense

Hi everyone!

Here is our video on why the announcement of Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite was  a bit of a shock. The research of this video was interesting because what started as a video on the Marvel vs. series ended up going way beyond our regular wheelhouse.

Extra points if you spot Tony Hawk in the video!

Thanks,

Grace and Derek

The Inafune Post Script Podcast is coming...

Hi guys! Just wanted to let you guys know that the Inafune PSP will be released later than we'd like because we have some family visiting. We'll get it recorded and uploaded for you guys once we have a recording space free, probably sometime next week. 

Thanks everyone!

[SSFF] Past Mortem: How The Mighty Have Fallen: Inafune Explained

Here it is, at long last, the Keiji Inafune video! We've been working on this video, and the Mighty No 9 Kickstarter video, in some form or another since July of kast year. Grace and I are really happy to have this out, we'll have a podcast out soon talking all about it. 

Also look forward to the Marvel vs Capcom video and a short piece about Mother 3 coming very soon.

Thanks as always for the support!

Past Mortem: Keiji Inafune Audio-Only Preview

Hello Supporters!!

Grace and I have been working on the Inafune-focused follow-up to our Mighty No 9 video for a while now. And I'm happy to say that it's nearly complete. 

For now, enjoy the audio only verion! A couple peices will be rerecorded by Grace but the script will not have any major changes so this about 95% final.

Let us know what you think or if you think we made any errors. And thanks as always for the support!

SSFF Post Script Podcast Ep 1: Punching Weight Ep 12

Hello supporters!! 

Got a brand new exclusive treat for you: the SSFF production podcast that we're calling the Post Script Podcast, or SSFF PSP. We were originally going to wait until the Mighty No 9 and Inafune video's were finished but we were sick of waiting! So here it is, the first episode!!

Grace interviews Derek about what went into making the latest episode of Punching Weight as well as a little inside baseball into the general process of a Punching Weight episode and respo...

[SSFF] Bomberman Act Zero (X360) Is It Really That Bad?

Surprise! One more video for ya! When Super Bomberman R snuck its way into the Nintendo Switch annoucement, we knew we had to hunt down the last major Bomberman game: Act Zero! I mean, how hard is it to screw up bomberman??

By the way, we can't say how much we appreciate your support ... your generocity paid for our copy of this game! But it went to a local Seattle video game store.

Thanks again!

[SSFF] Punching Weight Ep 12: Remakes Better than the Originals!

Hello supporters! 

Punching Weight has returned! In this video, I finally get to talk about the HD remaster of Perfect Dark, one of the big inspirations for the Punching Weight show. Plus, I love any excuse to talk about Castlevania. We used music from Adventures of Cookie and Cream for the Super Mario section to avoid content ID stuff from youtube. I'm curriouse to see how people respond (or if they even notice!). Anyway, this video will be exclusive to you radical peeps until tomorrow a...

Thanks for voting!

Thank you everyone for voting on the T Shirts! It looks like option 1 will be the shirt we'll go with, but I think we'll speak with our designer to see if we can get option 2 touched up to use in the future.

Thanks everyone!

Grace 

VOTE: Pick a SSFF T-Shirt!!

The moment we've been teasing forever is finally almost nigh! 

We have been working on a logo/bumper redesign, and we are finally ready to get some T-Shirts ready to go. BUT, we thought it'd be awesome to hear from you guys, the people! 

We have two designs to choose from attached to this post, so go ahead and pick an option you like the best! Also, the colors are not finalized yet, so feel free to give us any feedback on colors, designs, etc.

State of the Skeleton Happy New Year 2017

Been too long since we've had a BIG update vlog! Last year was a very successful year for the channel but there's still ground to cover in 2017!

We need some feed back for you all plus we had a short Q&A at the end so make sure you stick around to the end.

Also, just a freindly reminder never leave a clock in your shot, especially if you still have months of video footage on your camera's sd card and it runs out of space numerious times during the shoot. 

Anyway, thanks fo...

State of the Skeleton - We want to hear from you!

Hey Supporters!

Once again, Happy New Year everybody!! 2016 was an exciting year for SSFF but towards the end of the year, we got swept up in thing and weren't able to deliver a proper vlog update.

So this Saturday, we will be shooting a full State of the Skeleton update video addressing our accomplishments in 2016 and our plans for 2017. 

We'd love to hear feed back from you so please post any questions, concerns or general comments below and we'll address them in the vlog!<...

[SSFF] No Man's Sky, Is It Really That Bad?

Hiya guys!

Grace here. We are having a SSFF double-feature with an IIRTB with one of the most significant (in my opinion) games of 2016, No Man's Sky. This video is going to be exclusive to the Patreon until the 9th, so enjoy!

We think the fallout surrounding No Man's Sky will fundamentally changed the way retailers, publishers, devs, AND gamers will deal with hype around a video game (hopefully). But, putting all that mess asided, Derek and I wanted to find out if it really was THAT bad...

[SSFF] Wild Guns Reloaded (PS4) Review

Happy New Years Eve supporters! Your first exclusive video is ready and your other one is rendering as I type this! 

The Wild Guns Reloaded review will be exclusive for you for only about 12 hour. I know that's not a very long window but it is very important that we have this public on New Years Day (watch the video, you'll understand!).

Grace is putting the finishing touches on the No Man's Sky, Is It Really That Bad? video, and it will be up shortly. We'll talk more then!

[SSFF] Geoff Really Wants Derek to Play Rule of Rose (Patreon Exclusive)

Been working through our back catalog of Patreon exclusive content, so look forward to a bunch of videos just for our fine supporters!

This is a super cut of footage of Geoff Thew from the YouTube channel Mother's Basement. For the Rule of Rose review, we wanted Geoff to record a couple takes of a single line for a quick cameo. What he actually did was record 17 minutes of him doing the line over and over again. It's been edited down but it's still every damn take he sent us.

Past Mortem: The Mighty No. 9 Kickstarter Explained

Hi guys!

Our Mighty No. 9 video is finally done! Wanted to post it early for you guys to watch; should be up on Monday.

If you guys have been watching the streams, chatting with us on the reddit, or, well, been on this patreon, you have probably heard us talking about this script. Grace has been writing/editing this since June and Derek has been helping to edit the script since August. Once we finally got it ready to put the video together, we still had to revise it up until t...

Reminder: Past Mortem Mighty No 9 Kickstarter Breakdown Podcast Version (Exclusive Preview)

Hey Supporters!

Just a reminder, we're back to work on the Mighty No 9 Kickstarter Breakdown episode of Past Mortem. We had to take a break on this project because of the Halloween projects but most of it was completed so we posted the podcast version a few weeks ago. The finished version will be ready tomorrow but we just wanted to remind you that you can still preview is now!

This is (and will probably be) our biggest video of the year, definitely the biggest I've personally made in ma...

[SSFF] Super Rad Raygun (PC/Mac) Review

I know what you're thinking, "Really? Another freaking indie game inspired by Mega Man and the 1980's?" but Super Rad Raygun has enough interesting hooks to make it a nostalgia-fuled throwback absolutely worth your time!

Thanks for you support! Mighty No 9 and Earthbound videos are up next. See you again soon!

[SSFF] Rule of Rose (PS2) Review (ft. Matt from Super Best Friends Play and Mother's Basement)

New video! The last Halloween video for 2016. We asked for your votes and Rule of Rose won by a pretty wide margin! This was my first time playing this game to completion and I'm sorry to say it didn't exactly wow me. If you can find this game for cheap, it's maybe worth it if you're a big fan of horror and adventure games.

This is first time we'd had guests in a non-EDF video. We've been trying to get Geoff in a project for a few months now and Matt actually contact us to ask if he could be i...
