State of the Skeleton 8/29 - 9/2: Pre-post-production

***next podcast is on Sept 5th at 4pm PT!***

Hi everyone!

Grace here. Thank you so much for your well wishes over the past couple of weeks. I’m still working with my doctors (they actually had to reschedule my appointment >:( ), and am trying to get work done as I can. But in the meantime, let’s go over what’s been going on this week!

State of the Skeleton 8/15-8/19: Ouya Video Game Nerd

Hello Skele-friends!

Sorry we weren’t able to get the State of the Skeleton out last week.

Grace has been struggling a lot lately. It’s nothing serious but she is seeing a specialist later this week and hopefully will be “in the system” and hopefully won’t have to wait several months for follow-ups (hopefully). And then I had family visiting who came over one evening and then needed a ride to the airport another evening. It's always nice to see family but no matter how h...

SSFP Episode 74 | A. B. B. - Always Be Bloomin'

We back, Skele-fam!

It's the ultimate gaming episode as we recount our IRL Pikmin Bloom-ventures. Yes, there are at least four people that play this game and Seattle's Pikmin Bloom Community Day this weekend was a nightmare. Definitely one of the dumbest things we've ever participated in, and that's saying something. But we still had fun!

Plus true crime rabbit holes, gaming peripherals, and Nintendo uncles are also discussed. It's a rip-roaring time that wraps up with your questi...

State of the Skeleton 8/1-8/5: Sacrifice Your Body!

Hello Skele-friends!

How are you? I hope well! This week, Grace was out with family. So for most of the week it was just Derek! It’s been a while since I was flying completely solo, and lemme tell ya it’s nice just to have someone else around to keep you on track (that's why the podcast was so late)! Not quite as productive as I’d hoped but still a productive week.

SSFP Episode #73 | Kelsey Lewin is Not Afraid of Being a Goofball on the Mic

Hello again skele-friends!

This week our intrepid Producer Grace was out visiting family (which is also why this is going up so late), so we asked our local Seattle friend Kelsey Lewin to swing by and fill in. If you're not familiar with Kelsey, she is a very active person in the gaming community - co-owner of local retro game store Pink Gorilla, co-director of the Video Game History Foundation, contributor to Minmax, and North America's premiere Wonderswan collector!

State of the Skeleton 7/25-7/29: Hoppin’ on the Bandikart

This week was focused on getting the Crash Bandikart video ready for an editor. As always, the script-writing process got away from us, but I’m happy with the end result. The plan is to have this video buttoned up and off to an editor by the middle of next week.

Special announcement: Podcast has been rescheduled to August 1st at 5pm PT! We’ll also have a special guest, read on for more!

SSFP Episode #72 | The “the” controversy

Hi all! This week we spend an inordinate amount of time debating proper organizational systems for games, and discussing all the dooms inside of dooms inside of dooms that we’ve dared to ever doom about. There’s future video talk, AVGN talk, and petty arguing about granola bars. It’s a rip roaring time!

If you have any opinions on the state of “the” in the organization of media, let us know via comments or messages!

NEW VIDEO!! Konami’s DELISTED Brawlers | Delisted [SSFF]

Hi all! New video daaaaay!!

Even for us, this video feels a bit niche! A video about Konami's arcade brawlers, but not about the arcade brawlers. About the console ports. But the console ports that are Delisted. I think that Derek's passion for the topic comes through though. He was after all, as we pointed out in the video several times, the perfect age for TMNT, X-Men, and Simpsons. My favorite part of the production was pouring over all of the old news stories, toy commercia...

SSFP Episode #71 | Nathan Drake With A Soda On The Side

Welcome back, pod-people!

After taking last Monday off for the holiday, your favorite two video game lovin' knuckleheads are back with a new podcast! Topics this week range from Cryptids, firework Karens, pre-maturely celebrating Klonoa's newfound sales success, and weird multiplayer nostalgia. Then we descend into madness discussing Layers of Fear and which dead series we’d most like to see revived (Ristar, anyone?). It’s a chill good ol’ podcasting time!

State of the Skeleton 6/27-7/1: Weird Week

Inspired by the events of last week, I decided to take a break from videos to balance our books. This is a task I normally do in February of each year, swearing that I’ll get a better handle on it for the next year. Well, it’s the next year and it’s time to find something better than a google sheet to prep our taxes in.

While I researched and worked on that, Derek focused on videos. The Konami Bunger video is almost, almost done; hoping to get it to you guys sometime next week. Th...

State of the Skeleton 6/4-6/8: Konamaburger + Update Video

Grace here. This week was a little weird because we worked through the weekend to prep for leaving Thursday to visit family in Alaska. I also uploaded an update video to youtube to explain where we’ve been for the past couple months, which I added to this post. Things are a little hectic, but we’ll be back on June 20th with another podcast and State of the Skeleton will be back on June 24th!

SSFP Episode #69 | Is it nice though?

Hello Skelefam!

What an auspiciously numbered episode! For no reason I can think of. This week the gang pours one out for the duders and discusses the games in their lives. Grace has small-fox-big-world sized feelings about Tunic while Derek returns to Let It Die, the 2016 free-to-play rouge/souls-like from Suda-51 that refuses to die. Resident Evil 4 Remake is also yelled about.

Again, sorry about the delay in new videos, but we are back! This one was a bit weird to make as it was a rare Punching Weight with me on point as the main writer and researcher.

Heya guys! Grace here. Since our schedule has been so sporadic this year, I thought that a weekly update blog would be a good way to show off what we’re working on.

Hello Skele-fam!!

It's Matcha May and Grace waxes poetical on sugar milk while Derek wonders how Kendrick Lamar managed to release a new album and bring back Silent Hill in the same week. Shockingly, this is a video game podcast, and they both remember to discuss video games long enough to dunk on the New Super PlayStation Plus Max Ultra Essential service.

SSFP Episode #67 | Yell About Doom RPG All You Want

Hello again, Skela-Family!

Well here we are, deep in the Summer of Morbius, yet we still managed to have a video game podcast! We keep the obligatory Elden Ring talk to a minimum (though not Tunic, sorry listeners that keep asking us about it, we'll get to it eventually!!), before some how having an extended plant conversation involve Jared Leto, Grace's plants, and 70's synth wave albums. That Jared Leto Energy For Your Plants!
