Hello Skella-friends!
You want to know what a weekend spent crunching on a very long video will do to a pair of people? You're in the right place because Grace and Derek were still VERY much recovering from reshoots and editing for the Xbox One Past Mortem when this was recorded, resulting in one of the most scatterbrained, topic hopping podcasts ever recorded.
What can you expect in this episode? Exclusive Pikmin Bloom coverage! Robot trust-issues! The Paranormal Activity m...

Hi guys!
Sorry for posting so late, but we've really been working down until the last minute to wrap this one up. This is the follow-up to the Kinect video that we put out at the end of 2019. It was originally just going to be about the Kinect, but of course the disastrous launch of the Xbox One was about so much more than the Kinect. This is also the longest video we've ever made!! 😱😱 A full 12 minutes longer than the N-Gage Past Mortem! It wouldn't have been possible without the...

This is something I've been thinking about since I first heard about the scrapped head mode in Perfect Dark: Surely someone, somewhere, actually did it. The Gameboy Camera had too many possibilities, and was such a big step in the world of digital photography, that some madlad developer somewhere made it possible, right? And of course, they had. This is our dive of sorts into the 64DD, but it's about something I think hasn't been widely reported and shared. Though not from lack of trying!

Hello again Skele-friends!
We bring you tales of the strange things you can do with a 64DD and a Game Boy Camera, more on the Xbone video deep into production, and discuss how the Switch Online "Expansion Pak" is a pretty terrible deal in almost anyway you look at it (it's not even the most expensive service Nintendo has had before). Plus lots of questions! We've been getting more and more questions lately and we really appreciate it!
We'll be back November 1st with another ...

SSFF podcast is recording later today, so let me know if you have any requests for topics to be covered or general questions!
In other news, I have some minor updates on videos! Derek is still getting gameplay footage for the Zeebo Punching Weight/Delisted, The Xbox One Past Mortem is chugging along in the edit, and a Punching Weight for the 64DD/Gameboy Camera is ready to be recorded. November is going to be a big month for us! Very excited :D...

Hello Skele-friends!
Our intrepid Producer Grace is back from battling bronchitis, and brought a freshly wrapped gift for you all - another podcast! After missing our last episode, the team is back together to about videos and/or video games! Actually we do spend a fair amount of time talking about production stuff, the RE4 Mobile video we just posted to Patreon, and future videos, like the follow up to our 2019 Kinect video, more DELISTED, and of course the Zeebo! Plus questions from y...

**Edit: it looks like there are some editing errors in the video. Will fix and reupload ASAP**
***Edit: fixed! A few things got shuffled around when a giant chunk of the video suddenly vanished right before exporting. It looks like copy/pasting it all from an older auto-save didn't go as smoothly as hoped. But we should be good now! -d***

Hey everyone!
After we posted this video last month, our collabo-writer Cass pointed out that we should talk more about the other versions of Degeneration. TBH, we glossed over it because I usually figure these things out, and I was incapacitated by my cough. She was kind enough to get footage for us, and we added a whole new section! It’s only about a minute long and starts at 12:07.
To the people who are new, we normally never go back and edit a video after it’s been posted ...

Hi guys,
So since the last update I got diagnosed with bronchitis. Which is pretty good news! I'm relieved that I'm not contagious to anyone, and I'm been prescribed some medication to help me sleep through the night and not cough. I've had it for the last couple of days and my throat is feeling better already! Bad news is that I won't be able to podcast for the next couple of weeks while I let my bronchi heal. But we'll be using that time to wrap production on our first Zeebo video, wh...

Hi all,
It's been a rough couple of weeks at the Stop Skeletons clubhouse. I've been pretty sick with a bad cold for the last month that's meant I've spent most of my time delirious and sleeping while poor Derek's had to pick up a lot of my slack while I heal. (it's not covid, I got tested and am negative. yay!) But things have gone a little lopsided as a result and we're running a bit behind on videos. Derek's been an absolute legend though, really appreciate him working so hard ...

We had so much fun recording this episode, I forgot to post the damn thing!! Sorry for being a little late! We touch on a bunch of topics in this episode, like the early era of mobile games, after the Apple App store but before anyone really knew what people wanted. Also the sad but still interesting predicament Friday the 13th the Video Game is stuck in. And Nintendo is bringing GameBoy games to Switch Online? Does this mean 16 player, online Faceball 2000 is...

Hi again!
This is the second video in the DELISTED series (is it weird that we decided to make it all caps? Derek and I both independently did that and I just realized we’ve never talked about it lol).
Anyway! I am so excited to get this video out because it marks the unofficial start of Zeebo mania!!! After this video, we will do a DELISTED episode of the mobile versions of Resident Evil 4, concluding with the Zeebo version. Which will then kick off the actual Zeebo video! I’...

Hi everyone! Today is going to be a bit weird because I have a patreon double feature!
First video is on the long awaited Tony Hawk Ride controller. If you had a chance to listen to the last podcast, you know that this was quite the saga production-wise. This started out as a video about trying to get the Tony Hawk Ride board to work for us, but it ended up being about letting the Ride board do what it willed if that makes sense. Nothing about making this video was straight-forward. Itâ...

Hey er'body!
We're back from our travels and ready to record a podcast! Usually we do these on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month but because we were out visiting family, we had to shuffle things around. But don't worry, we've got some stories to tell!
Be in the discord podcast chat room at 4pm PT to chat along with Derek and Grace. As always, if you can't make it or aren't a Patreon supporter, leave a question or comment below!
Thanks!

New video!! Plus a new series!
Derek has been wanted to make a video series that focuses on what happens to a digital only game once it is delisted and gone forever. And for the first go-around, he decided to make it about Blaster Master Overdrive. Like we say in the video, Blaster Master is a kinda obscure series. However I think it perfectly encapsulates the dark side of last decade's retro revival.
Let us know what you think! There's tons of other games we'd like to...

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but our schedule this week got a little weird and we need to postpone the podcast until next Monday. But that's only because we're shooting a video today that I hope to get to you guys really soon.
In other news, we got your responses from the poll and are hard at work on the Tony Hawk Ride video! It's been full of surprises already, including having to run out and buy a whole new board due to a technical malfunction (the malf...

Hello again Skele-fam!
We survived the recent heat wave by doing what we've many times over, squatting at a Starbucks. Derek's also been playing a lot of Burnout games, which are pretty uniformly great if you haven't heard! Also learn about the Xbox 360's launch webcam and have a mini Punching Weight meeting live on the air. Plus lots questions from the chat, this one ran long, we hardly noticed!
Next episode will be recorded July 19th, until then stay cool!

It's Grace here, with a new Punching Weight! It's over 100°F (37°C) in Seattle at the moment, so forgive me if I write like I have a bit of the heat brain. I've actually been working on this video since March, so it's such a joy to finally get it over the finish line.
