NEW VIDEO Every. Zeebo. Game. Part 2 | Punching Weight / DELISTED

It's finally finished! I still need to give it proper chapters and a thumbnail but I wanted to get this up as soon as I could! The longest scripted video I've ever made, also probably the jokiest and silliest, but also packed with so much obscure and useless trivia! 38 games reviewed, almost every game was its own rabbit hole, it's a rollercoaster ride of beautiful garbo! I also left this one uncensored, I don't cuss often but I figured the Patreon should get that raw!! unrestrained!! uncle d...

UDUG Voting!! December '23!!

So there I was, finishing off the Zeebo project, thinking "I can't wait to start the next UDUG video after this" only to realize, I FORGOT TO DO THE FREAKING POLL LAST WEEK! Been a banger of a week so far for me, damn!

BUT. ANYWAY. Vote your beautiful hearts out, vote for as many as you'd like! This'll run until Friday at Noon PT because I want to start working this week.

Thanks!!
Uncle Derek

Patreon Exclusive | An Ode to Video Game Passwords | UDUG Ep 4

Heyhey Skele-fam!

Well, Damn! Eight-ish days of travel and visiting family can really ruin the whole months plans huh? But the good news is the Every Zeebo Game Part 2 and December's UDUG should be out about the same time! I'm happy and sad to have the Zeebo project finally finished though, it's been on my back for a few years now, if you can believe it!

November's UDUG video is all about the long abandoned Video Game Password. The times before memory car...

Hey-hey Skellefam! Greetings from the mid-west! Producer Grace and I have been across the country with her family for the last few days for Thanksgiving, or for the rest of the world, late-November Break. I was hoping to have a bunch of videos for you before we hopped on the plane and ok, ...so maybe trying to get three videos out before the Thanksgiving break was a little ambitious! But still have something for y'all!

People h...

Uncle Derek Underground October Voting

Hey Skella-fam! 

This month's UDUG video went live yesterday, check it out if you haven't. The last two I made on my own without any input from y'all but that stops now! I want UDUG to be a monthly thing and I want it to be something that we develop together as a community! Most options below are from a master list I'm always adding to but a few are from suggestions given from the last e...

Patreon Exclusive: Let's Remember Sony's Botched PS3 Announcement | UDUG

UDUG (aka Uncle Derek Underground) episode two is live! Only on Patreon!

I love and miss E3 for all the hype, all the cringe, all the weird stuff in between, each presentation is a little time capsule of this ridiculous industry! Recently the fine folks at NoClip opened a video archive channel and uploaded Sony's infamous PS3 E3 presentation in amazing 4K! I just had to watch it and talk over it. I guess...

Patreon Exclusive Video! McDonald's Licensed Games | Punching Weight

As per the post earlier today, here's the first episode of Uncle Derek Underground or UDUG! Our new monthly, Patreon-Exclusive series! In this video I play and talk about a bunch of McDonald's video games that are all kinda of really good! No endorsement of them, but it's kinda wild that their track record with video games is rock solid.

Something I didn't mention in the last post, this video ...

State of the Skeleton - August 2023

Hello again Skele-fam!

First of all some business stuff - Patreon changed the way they handle payments starting this month, moving all transactions overseas. This shouldn't mean anything really, except this may have caused your pledges to be flagged or rejected from your bank or what have you. So be sure to double-check that all your Patreon pledges (not just ours!) are going through!

Anyway, hope ya'll are doing well and not melting into a pile of jello in this weird, ambitious, ...

NEW VIDEO!! Every Zeebo Game | Punching Weight [SSFF]

I’m baaaaaaaaaack. It’s been a long long while, but I wanted my first video back to finally close the book on the Zeebo. And I’ve allllmost done it. Sorry, video ended up getting long winded which means this is only part 1. And part 2 is coming up soon! Hopefully in a couple of weeks. 

In the meantime, enjoy! And as always, let me know if there’s any mistakes!

State of the Skeleton - June 2023

Hey Skelefam,

**Quick Note: We’ve been having Street Fighter 6 meet-ups in the discord, thursday’s 5pm PT. All skill sets welcome! Hope to see you there!**

It’s Uncle Derek here with a very much-needed update with what’s been going on with SSFF. I know it’s been pretty quiet around these parts. Well, it’s been a very turbulent few months in my personal life, as I’ve stated a few times before, but things have actually only just finally settled down, so here’s the fu...

SSFF May Update Video

Hi everyone, 

Derek's family has had some health scares this year, so Derek is going up to Alaska during this month to spend time with family. He talks more about it in the video above, but the plan is for him to take this time to visit and hopefully relax a little bit, though videos will still be worked on. 

This does mean that the both of us will be taking a step back from the channel, the patreon, and our socials for the next couple of weeks. As for me, I'll be stayin...

SSFP Episode #88 | Tiny House of Luigi Cards

Hey Skele-friends!

**Sorry for the long delay! The last video wiped us out, but I hope you still enjoy it. Derek is going on a sabbatical to visit his family in Alaska, so no podcasts for a while. Will let you know once one is coming.** 

This week on Stop Skeletons From Podcasting, it’s BONGO time as Grace and Derek go BANANAS over the Donkey Kong Bongos. Other topics include plastic peripherals of the future, a tiny review of Mighty Doom, and DVD games.

Thanks to eve...

NEW VIDEO!! Secrets of the Donkey Kong Bongos | Punching Weight | SSFF

Hi everyone!

It feels like this video is loooong over due. I've made no secret of my love for the DK Bongos over the years, and finally, my scheming has come to fruition! 

We've actually been editing our videos ourselves recently, which means the primary job of editing video has fallen to Derek (he's a lot faster than me lol). WELL, the first 9 minutes was edited by yours truly. As always, let us know if you see any mistakes.

We spoke about this on the podcast, but Dere...

SSFP Episode #87 | Strategy Metal

This week on Stop Skeletons From Podcasting, it’s a whopping 14 minutes and 21 seconds to Resident Evil because Grace and Derek get into Metal music, TV gaming, and the merits of the library BEFORE going hog wild into Resident Evil 4.

NEW VIDEO!! RE4 GameCube Demo Vs Remake Demo | DEMOS | Punching Weight | SSFF

Hi everyone!

Like we talked about on the podcast,  Derek has been hard at work on this video since the Resident Evil 4 demo released. I’m not sure how many of you are aware of this, but Derek REALLY likes Resident Evil 4, and even made a video about the Resident Evil 4 Preview disk ~10 years ago. I am writing this on the launch day for Resident Evil 4 Remake, and it feels like we are entering a RE...

SSFP Episode #86 | I Am Coming To Your House Mr. Nintendo

Hey Skele-friends!

Sorry about the late upload! This week on Stop Skeletons From Podcasting, Derek and Grace talk about their mutually traumatizing weeks (KIDDING!) and the upcoming video. Warning, this means that the time to Resident Evil is basically non-existent this episode. Other topics include water in Majora's Mask, the euphoria of Smash TV, and strategies for escaping physical activity.

SSFP Episode #85 | A Fish Flopping in an Endless Ocean

Hey Skele-friends!

This week on Stop Skeletons From Podcasting, Derek schools Grace on Nu Metal, the team chats about the perils of being a "cool" aunt/uncle, and Derek has fully reversed his initial Resident Evil 4 misgivings. As a consequence, the time to Resident Evil is WAY UP this week, at 28:22. I swear we don't talk about Resident Evil this much in our daily lives. Afterwards we wrap up with Patreon advice and answer questions!

iOS Emulation Finally Cracked Thanks to Super Monkey Ball | DELISTED | SSFF

Hi everyone!!

Finally, a new video! Apologies for the wait, but I think we ended up with something very cool and outside of the normal scope of the kind of video we usually make.

So, about a month ago, friend-of-the-show Cass from Bad Game Hall of Fame, messaged me to let me know that a big leap forward in emulation had been made. I ran to twitter, and low and behold: Touch HLE! I decide to buckle down and watch the VOD of Hikari’s livestream (she’s on European time so I misse...

SSFP Episode #84 | Young, dumb, and full of buns

Hey Skele-friends!

This week Derek and Grace talk about the merits of alphabetical sorting, the attractiveness of spiked shoulders and a tragic backstory, and the ADHD medication shortage (we’re doing FINE, I swear). Also commenters force us to talk about dreams, Resident Evil (Time to: 46:35), and recent best things. If YOU want to force us to talk about something, don’t forget to comment on the Patreon or send us an email at stopskeletons@gmail.com!

State of the Skeleton: Let’s get this ball rollin’!

Hi everyone!

Hope you all had a great week. Now that both Derek and I are fully operational again (yay!), I thought I’d share a bit about what we’re up to.

Super Monkey Ball iPhone

Last week, the world of Delisted games had an exciting development: one of the first (to my knowledge) emulators of iPhone games launched!! The emulator is called Touch HLE, and is available to down...

SSFP Episode #83 | Doom (2005) and Beat Sabering with Wolves

Welcome to a very special episode where we review the infamous cinematic masterpiece Doom! This film stars Karl Urban and The Rock and boasts a whopping 18% on Rotten Tomatoes. Somehow, despite coexisting on the same planet for nearly two decades, Derek had never even seen it! Then we dig into Limited Run's business practices and upcoming video topics. It's a rip & tear-roaring good time.  

Thanks to everyone for supporting us and listening! Next episode is recorded on February...
