Since we got the Dark Souls/Miyazaki video out, I've been sitting around brainstorming topic ideas, and then it hit me: why don't I ask our lovely supporters what they would like to see covered? Give the people what they want!
So here goes: What topics would you guys like to see covered on Past Mort...

Hello Supporters!
Here is the next episode of Past Mortem, and it's a topic I was really excited about, the Souls games! We had a lot of fun researching for this video and I think a lot of people will be interested in learning about this subject. We were actually kinda shocked there weren't more videos on this topic.
Enjoy it exclusively for a couple days, it goes public on YouTube Tuesday morning!
And for those keeping score, we still have the Resident Evil Re:Certifie...

We missed our monthly IIRTB last month but we couldn't miss our chance to show respect to the 6 God, aka Aubrey "Drake" Graham and play a terrible game that bears the same name. It's a really dumb reason so make a video which is why we had to do it!! We had a lot of fun with this one!
This'll go public Tuesday morning so enjoy it early!
Thank you for your support!

We shot and captured everything in 1080 for this video and I've been having trouble getting the quality high for youtube. Exporting can be such a headache! Your video is done but if the export isn't proper, it ruins the whole thing! And it looks good on export but not on upload. Bah!!

We say it in every video but it may sound like a rehearsed line at this point but I want to make it clear we really appreciate the support of every last one of you.
I'm sure you've seen the recent wave of content ID claims rampaging its way through youtube. I've been sort of lucky in that regard. I've had videos flagged and denied monetization but never had to deal with the threat of having my videos or channel deleted. It's maybe just pure luck, maybe it's becaus...

With Punching Weight and Past Mortem, I had to make new pieces so I thought I'd post them all over again, so check out the attached file for folder of all the used and unused bumper music.

All hands to starboard, we're back to settle some unfinished business! We've reviewed Dino Crisis 1 and 2, now it's time to see if Dino Crisis 3 is as bad as they say.

We're going to make IIRTB? a monthly show, so we need some feed back from you all!

Hello again supporters!
We're back again with another new show for 2016! This one will stay exclusive to you wonderful supporters until Tuesday morning, so enjoy!
Past Mortem is a show that gives a post mortem on past events. Again, we're trying to mix things up in 2016, this is our all history, no review show. In this episode we break down the knitty gritty of one of 2015's biggest controversies: the breakup of Kojima and Konami.

Hello Supporters!
We promised that 2016 would be a year of growth for SSFF, Grace and I have been hard at work on two new shows that will push us beyond the standard review. I'm currently editing one such show and it's called Punching Weight, a show that celebrates ambitious, weird, and unnecessary games that maybe aren't good but, goddammit, deserve respect!
The first episode highlights three Gameboy Color games, this edit is about 60% finished. A couple sections have been...

Hello supporters!
If all goes as planned, January will see two new shows debuting. One a more informative / documentary style and the other a spin on the review / showcase format. If these shows go well, look forward to a more diverse output from Grace and me.
But we're not abandoning the tried-and-true-standard-reviews, the Earth Defense Force 2025 / 4.1 review is in line for the end of the month. So we're busy with THREE new videos for January!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016!
Kick off the new year with the return of "Is It Really That Bad?" From the maker's of Bushido Blade comes one of the worst-reviewed original xbox games, Kabuki Warriors. Is it as awful as they say??
*Note, this was originally going to be Dino Crisis 3 but technical issues got in the way so at the last minute we switched.

We had a very challenging year, 2015 was all about the basic stuff, starting this patreon, establishing the Stop Skeletons From Fighting brand, developing the new look of the show, and developing production rhythm while still pumping out new material. (And on a personal level, it was also the year we moved to a new city and dealt with all the stress that comes with that.)

After counting the tallies from the last post, people want another multipart, longplay of an 8-bit or 16-bit game. But there wasn't much of a consensus for a specific game but the first that came to my mind was Sweet Home. Unless there are any objections, we'll start that tonight! Lemme know in the comments!

Over at the Stop Skeletons Live channel we have wrapped up Illbleed! We chose Illbleed for numerous reasons, for one I just *really* wanted to play it again. More importantly though, playing the same game week after week reduced the number of things that could go wrong and allowed us to lock down our streaming set up. Plus I'd never really done a multi-episode play through stream before, so that was a fun experience.
Now it's on to the next one! But what to do? How about we take it to...
