Hey everyone! It's time for a new solo episode of Liam Unfiltered with some key updates on content.

In the mean time, here's a podcast where I talk about that and my revised video schedule. I apologise for the delay but I think you'll come to understand why it had to happen. The video will be slightly longer as a result and I've...

[Patreon Exclusive Video] Nintendo's Voice Chat Push, Behind The Scenes Details & More - A Postmortem

In this Patreon exclusive video, I share more on my most recent efforts to uncover the true reasons that Nintendo neglected to do native voice chat on the Nintendo Switch. I talk about Nintendo UK's Game Chat push and some behind the scenes gossip related to that and the making my latest Game History Secrets video, including some unexpected drama that went down.

[NEW VIDEO] Nintendo's Voice Chat Conundrum - Game History Secrets

Hello, everyone! I have finally completed a first cut of my latest documentary video on the history of Nintendo's voice chat software and the 'mystery' around why the Nintendo Switch did not have native voice chat built into it.

Hey, everybody! 

It’s Liam here with an update for all my lovely supporters in the Silver Tier and up. I want to provide a quick update on upcoming content like my next video.

I haven’t been able to record a podcast this week due to, believe it or not, external damage to my recording studio. Recent weather actually broke a part of the window in that room of my apartment, which is where I record all audio for my podcasts and videos. It's freezing cold in my corner of the w...

[NEW VIDEO] Xbox’s Cancelled ‘Uncharted Rival’ From Gears of War Studio (Early Access + Ad Free)

Well, it's finally here! Sorry it took so long. Here is my almost 50 minute long documentary video investigating a cancelled first party original IP from an Xbox studio. This game was shown in a 30 second teaser... and then never again. Phil Spencer then led people to believe that it wasn't a real game and that they shouldn't worry about it, but where does the truth lie? You better believe I get very methodically to the bottom of that.

Going to do a podcast very soon talking about the n...
