NEW VIDEO! Dual Analog N64 | Punching Weight [SSFF]

Hi all!

So this video came about after one of our supporters donated their amazing N64 frankencontroller they bought off of craigslist. This kind of monstrosity doesn't fall into our laps everyday folks! So we  ended up taking a detour into N64 games that let you play with TWO controllers because that dual analog ended up being so crucial for 3D. It's such a weird time that was only possible because NO ONE knew what they were doing with the third dimension! Such an interesting mome...

December Podcast & Livestream Update

Hey skele-friends!

We hope you're doing well and had a great holiday. We will have another video for you here on Patreon, Thursday New Years Eve. However, we've gotten really behind on a few other things because...

...December turned into a weird month for SSFF.

On the 12th our neighbors above us overflowed their toilet, resulting in a pretty substantial leak through our hallway light fixture. This lead to several other repairs in our ceiling. For almost two weeks w...

NEW VIDEO! Surprise GBA 3D Moments | Punching Weight

We've covered GBA 3D before, and I'd thought we'd hit on all the major titles, but what about games with 3D moments?? We cover a lot of games in this one, including a genuine gem that I can't believe I missed! This one goes public on the 23rd, so enjoy it early!

A quick update - we'll cover this more in the podcast.

It's been weird at the SSFF offices (aka, our apartment). For over a week now, people have been repairing water leaks in our ceiling. This is the 3rd time now, and we'...

SSFP Episode #38 | Castlevania Rondo of Blood / Symphony of the Night GameClub

Who's ready to talk some Castlevania? Uncle Derek certainly is! The SSFF GameClub this month is all about the one-two punching of Rondo and Symphony, widely considered two of the greatest Castlevania games ever. Not only that, two wildly different Castlevania games! And Derek couldn't help but toss out the hot takes like fresh hearts from a hot candle.

As always, the Stop Skeletons From Podcasting episodes are free for all to listen to. In fact, they're now more available than ...

December SSFF GameClub Voting!

One last hurrah for 2020, one last SSFF GameClub for 2020! Let's close out this hell-year with a bang!

Shadow of the Colossus: Not only a great game, it's also been remade so many freaking times! Any version is up for grabs, despite minor differences that might be present. We don't sweat the small stuff here.

Zelda Majora's Mask: Majora was narrowly defeated a few months ago but it's back! I've always had a really high appreciation for this game, despite never actually beating it....

It's going to be all about Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night, so get ready to justify what is a man, really. Post your questions and comments yo...

No Videos For November

Hello Skelefam!

We have some bad news, but I assure you it's not really that bad.

We launched this Patreon in May 2015 and ever since then we have had at least one video a month. Most of the time it's been two videos a month, several times it's been three videos a month! But for five and a half years the SSFF patreon has delivered monthly content.

Unfortunately that streak must end. There will be no SSFF video for November 2020. The positive is...

SSFF Podcast #37 | Hope You're Doing Alright

Hello Skelefam!

We hope you and yours are doing well. We are almost through this challenging year but we've still got podcasts for ya'll. In fact, this is one of the loosest, funnest podcasts Grace and I have done. This episode has it all: news, patreon questions, and Derek 'n Grace bickering like the boring couple they are.

While this podcast is free for everyone to listen to, having it publicly available our Patreon page still limits its availability. We will be uploading both o...

See you there! If you can’t make it, the podcast will be uploaded to the Patreon (and your RSS feed) tomorrow. If you ne...

November GameClub Voting Time!

Halloween is over, but not in our hearts! We've got some more spooky games as picked by our discord members. Also, because of the election, I stayed off of my phone and laptop, and I totally for got to port this earlier.

Zelda Mejora's Mask: Not a full-on horror game but it's definitely dark! Either N64 or 3DS version would be fine.
Luigi's Mansion: Luigi's first major starring game. Great game but not the best way to launch a new system. And now the...

SSFF Podcast #36 | Parasite Eve GameClub Discussion

Hey Hey!

Fresh podcast for ya's, a day early! Parasite Eve is a stone-cold PS1 classic that holds up and honestly doesn't need to be remade (and probably couldn't be remade). Well, that's the short version anyway. We talk all about it plus cover the sequels and other channel updates, hope you enjoy!

We'll have a new poll for November's game tomorrow (double voting tomorrow, yay!) and if you're not a patreon supporter, a new video on Thrusday! 

Thanks as always for the s...

NEW VIDEO! Resident Evil 4 Ports | Punching Weight [SSFF]

Hi guys~

Finally got a video for ya! I gotta ask, do you like this set? I personally think I need to give Derek more headroom next time, but overall I thought this looked pretty cool. We didn't even need to color correct it which surprised me. 

We originally thought this video was only going to be 10 min but we just kept finding more and more stuff to add. As we were making this video, Fallen Star Gamer from the discord volunteered to let us borrow their ipod touch with the R...

October GameClub Voting (Don't Get Spooked!!)

We've talked it over and battled it out in the discord, we've got to 4 spooky, horror bangers for this month's GameClub! 

Zelda Majora's Mask: What's spookier than the damn apocalypse? One of Zelda's weirdest games, it's also a pretty dark and emotionally heavy game. And one a lot of us have played in a long time (or ever)! It's got ports on the GameCube, Virtual Console, and 3DS, so it's a widely available game too.

NEW VIDEO! Valve's Weird Arcade Ports | Punching Weight [SSFF]

Hi all!


Man, this was a bear of a video to get working! Usually if anything requires emulation or troubleshooting, I take care of it, and this is the first time I've ever had a video require me learning so many new types of emulators and just in general techniques. I know how to change the voice files in Left 4 Dead now! I'm leveling up all over the place!

But beyond that, this video was so fun because it felt like we were peering into a forbidden alternate Valve dimension. Co...

Today's podcast was loosey goosey. We talked upcoming projects like the TWENTY SEVEN (good lord) minute video on the Playstation Mouse, our favorite Counter-Strike anime moments, and best-worst Tony Hawk Games. 

We also dove deep into Microsoft's purchase of Bethesda, giving our reactions and predictions for the future. Doomguy in ODST guys. IT COULD HAPPEN.

So, Saturday night is a really odd time for us to post a video for y'all. Sorry about that! We had a deadline to post this video and that coupled with Derek's mom's surgery this week (she's doing great btw!) threw us off schedule.

Vote on the next peripheral video! SSFF

Hello.

So I have a not-problem problem. The problem is that I'm drowning in console mice!! I have a SNES Mouse, a PS1 Mouse, and TWO N64 mice screaming for a follow up to the first N64 mouse video.

So I thought it made sense to put it up for a Patreon exclusive vote. Which one would you rather see first? Cause I'm down to clown for any of these right now.

Also, if you haven't voted on the Game Club yet, the polls are open for one more day!

Thanks,
