UDUG December Voty McVoteFace!

Hey good news!

Our new mattress came in, along with our new bed frame! So this weekend we brought over a carload of things to the new apartment and then put together our new bed. Naturally with the mold problem in our current apartment, we needed a brand new, clean mattress and bed frame. Plus I had a bunch of my collection already in plastics tubs so it was easy to load up in the car. And Grace brought over her plants that were in ceramics, she didn't feel comfortable with the movers t...

Exclusive | GTA 3, Is it still good? Re:Certified Classic | UDUG Ep 16

Hey Skele-fam!

You voted for it, so I'm bringing it back, the short-lived SSFF show Re:Certified Classic! Some games are so influential that they themselves become obsolete, while other's still hold up. Few games changed everything like GTA 3, but is it still good? Is it still a certified classic? Watch to find out - I cover the history, the major claims to fame, and of course find out if it's still good!

I also want to say thanks to everyone who watched the Faceball 2000 Document...

SSFF Faceball 16-Player Doc 50 Min Preview

Hey Skele-friends!

Here’s a preview of the documentary I’ve been working on for the last 2-ish years. It’s currently about 70% finished but it’s 50 minutes in total.

This cut is mostly done but there are a few little things I need put in. Plus a few errors I caught that I need to fix but if you see any problems let me know! No matter how much you try to cover everything, projects like this always have little mistakes that slip by.

And this is just for Patreon suppor...

UDUG Voting - November 2024!! (For Real This Time)

I need U for UDUG, ya dig?

Back with a proper poll this time, so vote, vote, vote!

And if you're in America, you should probably vote for the president too. In fact, I'll let this poll go until tuesday night to coincide with the presidential election polls closing too, just so I can pretend this is just as important!

But you remember the drill, right? Vote for as many as you want!

Got a suggestion for UDUG, lemme know! I'll add it to my big ol list!

Thanks

Patreon Exclusive | Spooky Doom Mods! UDUG Ep 15!

I've been gone, but I'm back! Did you think I'd miss Halloween??? It's been a weird few months, if you haven't heard, but I couldn't miss a UDUG for the spooky season!

Between surgery recovery, starting detox from my mold exposure, and looking at new apartments, I've managed to mostly get back to work. But I wasn't able to have a proper poll for UDUG voting this month. I was waiting until I re...

State of the Skeleton 10/24 - PRGE, Surgery, and Mold Exposure

Hey Skele-fam,

It's been a wild few months for me, and I was waiting for things to settle (again). It's really been a rough few years but I'll get to that in a minute.

First - this past weekend I drove down with some friends to Oregon for the Portland Retro Gaming Expo! It was two years ago when we attempted 16-player Faceball 2000 for the Gameboy. It was a bust, unfortunately, but this is where our journey to achieve the worlds first 16-player game started! And we returned with r...

EXCLUSIVE | What Can You Play with the Sega Saturn Twin Sticks? | UDUG Ep 14

Time for some Patreon Exclusive content! After finishing in the top-5 for many, many months, this one finally won the voting and got its time in the Underground - Sega Saturn Twin Sticks!

In an update post I will have later today, a lot has been going on. Too much. In fact this video was actually finished and uploaded earlier this week but I forgot to actually post that damn thing on Patreon. But here it is!

Thanks to Sputnik34 for the edit on this one. And thanks to the people w...

Thanks as always!

EXCLUSIVE | Resident Evil Modes Gone WILD | UDUG Ep 13

Hello again Skele-Fam!

It's that time again for your extra special video!

Mercs! Tofu! Battle! Birthdays! Raids! Dino duels! A single Dangerous Zombie, and so much more as I run through the entire Resident Evil series and discuss all the extra modes in every different version of every single Resident Evil game! This is a show idea that Grace and I thought up years ago that we never made for the channel, which makes it the perfect thing for the Patreon!

UDUG Aug. Voting Round Two - which series to cover??

Congrats on this month's UDUG winner - Modes Gone Wild! The polls closed yesterday and this one took it pretty handily. But now to choose which series to discuss!

The point of this show is to highlight the port/version exclusive mini games or extra modes. For example, Resident Evil 2 for N64 has a random item mode exclusive to that version. Mortal Kombat Deception has a puzzle game, but Arma...

Voting Time! What UDUG do ya want for August '24??

You know the drill, vote for as many as you'd like. We'll run this until Noon Thursday! Vote with your heart! Or your fingers, actually that'll probably work better.

EXCLUSIVE - That Good Garbo! | Deep Fear | UDUG Ep 12

We did it Skele-friends!

A whole year of UDUG! This is episode 12 and it's the first installment of That Good Garbo. If you really love video games, you gotta play the bad one's, at least I do! I need that garbo sometimes and Deep Fear is what won the vote! I played the whole thing and MAN, it's a weird, almost-genuinely-good game that is a ton of fun.

Stunningly bad voice work, a surprisingly cute dog, great monster design, and endless, endless, ENDLESS hal...

EXCLUSIVE 90's Video Game Commercials Hit Different | UDUG Ep 11

Hello Skela Fam!

Here is your monthly Patreon exclusive episode, the June '24 edition of UDUG! This one was a ton of fun to do because it was recorded as a livestream in the discord. Even after editing out some of the technical issues, it's still two hours of 90's pop culture cringe. So enjoy!

The first hour is stuff I pulled for this video and the last hour is submissions from the live chat. And we found some amazing and weird stuff I never would've found on my own!

We'll...

UDUG Livestream Tomorrow + Video / Health Updates!

What is GOOD Skelefam??

Been a wild month but I got a few things to talk about

First, I'll be streaming this month's UDUG episode live in the discord tomorrow at 6pm PT. The topic was 90's video game commercials and I figured this would be a great thing to do with the community. I have a bunch already picked out but I'd love to watch suggested commercials, especially one's I haven't seen before from other countries! Because one thing binds us all, the 90's were weird all over the ...

UDUG Voting - June 2024!!

This will be episode 11!! Almost a full year of UDUG!

You know the deal, vote for as many as you'd like!

Normally I'd leave the polls open until Sunday night but it usually doesn't need that long! A winner rises to the top pretty quickly so we'll go until Friday at Noon.  That way I can get started before the weekend!

Vote with your heart, or your gut, or your feet, I don't need to know the specifics, the important thing is voting!<...

Hey Hey Skele-fam!

Quick update with your latest exclusive video! We'll start the voting tomorrow for June's UDUG video! If you've got any last minute suggestions, lemme know below!

This one went extra casual, I did the whole thing in a tank top! I was feeling extra loose for some reason. It's actually been kinda cold around here and I've been wearing my summer clothes in protest. Even in Seattle it's usually warmer by now!

Fun fact, I needed to correct a few things with thi...

State of the Skeleton May '24 - Sinus Infection Fun!

First thing's first, we missed the 9 year anniversary of this Patreon! May 1st 2015 this account was opened and SSFF was officially born! It's easy to forget about little milestones like this when work and real life keep you so busy. But thanks to everyone past and present that's supported this channel!!

Ok so, this post is mainly going to be about health issues I've been working through basically this whole year. I mentioned this on twitter but, 2023 was the year my family and my dogs ...

EXCLUSIVE | 2D GBA Ports of 3D Games | UDUG Ep 9

This one won by a landslide! So I knew I had to go big! I went through my entire GBA Everdrive with every GBA games and tried to find every possible 2D GBA port of a 3D game (within reason, or else this video would be 10 hours long).

Sorry for the lateness on this one, I've been dealing with some health stuff that I'm going to cover tomorrow on a proper State of the Skeleton. I had two doctor's visits last week and now that I know a little more of what's going on, I can let you know wha...

NEW VIDEO! The Bottomless Rabbit Hole of Japanese Train Controllers | Punching Weight

All abooooard Skele-Friends!

Trains, trains, and more trains! Densha de GO! watch this new video, ad-free and uncensored. Not that I swear much in my videos anymore but it don't seem right to edit out my cussin' for you folks on the 'treon!

Hopefully you won't notice, but as the video goes on, I slowly was getting sicker and sicker, developing a sinus infection haha. But this video started right after New Years, that cold was not the only reason it took so long to finish. I've got...

Patreon Exclusive | The Insane Branding History of Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle | UDUG Ep 8

10 games, 21 different versions, using 8 different licenses. I'm uploading this on April 1st, I wish this were a joke but the Crazy Castle rabbit hole is very real.

Episode 8 of UDUG was maybe the funnest episode yet! So much ridiculous stuff to research. Plus this is a video that was on the SSFF video ideas list for many, many years but Grace and I never thought it would quite work on the main channel. So perfect for just the supporters on Patreon!

It is a very, VERY complicated ...

Patreon Exclusive | Ranking Dumb/Rad Collector's Junk | UDUG Ep 7

Hello Skelefam!

I'm back from the grave! I live! I swear! Once again on that problem of too many project and not finishing any of them! Exhibit A: this is February's UDUG but it's being released in March! That really sucks and I'm sorry about that! But I guess you'll get two UDUG's this month?? Eh? Because I'm a piece of shit who takes on too many projects hahaha

Patreon Exclusive | Crank that Playdate | UDUG Ep 6

Congrats to the Playdate! After finished 2nd place, 3 time it handily won the topic for January 2024! I think I'll leave Playdate on the voting though since there's so many games to play, but not this coming months, it needs at least one month off.

Speaking of which, it's the last freaking day of the month!! Getting a serious sinus cold this month back up my whole schedule up! Good news though, February UDUG voting can begin tomorrow!! So look forward to th...

UDUG 2024!! Let's Vote!

Time for the first Underground of 2024! 

I started out the year with a damn cold! My sinuses going wild right now, got me feeling like crap! But since I'm not leaving the house, might as well get underground and make something fun. Got a few close-but-no-cigar entires and a few new ones to make this interesting.

Vote for as many as you want, voting ends Monday night at Midnight PT!

Patreon Exclusive | Split Screen Multiplayer Games | UDUG Ep 5

Hello Skele-friends!

And a special hello to our brand new faces! We got a couple new people around here, welcome!

I got one last treat before we box up 2023 and put it away for good. The Playdate once again came SO CLOSE to taking the gold but a tribute to Split Screen Multiplayer games is your UDUG video for December. 

As I outline in the video, this video does not really have an outline. I know UDUG videos are supposed to be loose but this video basically devolved int...
