The Infinite Review / 23 / E3 2020

Believe it or not, several people have expressed sadness at the prospect of there not being an E3 episode of The Infinite Review this year. I too thought that would be a shame, and decided that just because there isn't an E3 this year - that doesn't meant it shouldn't be reviewed, right? Yes, The Infinite Review is expanding to include reviews of events which did not take place.

I must extend a thank you to Sean (who was kind enough to cohost) for giving me a day of his time, and to pop...

BDs & HFs

Phew, I've been looking forward to getting this one to you for a while. Similarly to the last podcast, it was recorded shortly before the world descended into several unique forms of chaos. Please enjoy the blissful ignorance of my guests Richie, Gavin and Guy.

Special thanks to BRY and Danny for their sting assistance.

Please enjoy, and I'll see you in power.

The Infinite Review / 22 / Final Fantasy VII Remake

Remember Final Fantasy VII Remake? Hell, remember The Infinite Review? Well, they're both back. Hello!

This should have been out sooner, but suffice to say, life hasn't been normal for anyone recently, which slowed progress down. This also accidentally became the longest Infinite Review yet, and I completely underestimated how difficult this video would be. It's not a kind of video I'd ever made before, but hopefully you enjoy it. Now that it's finished, "normal" video service ...

Guilt Free

Grab your red sunglasses and fisherman's hat, it's time for a very freeing podcast.

Joining me on this podcast is MOST of the Supernatural Entertainment System, who I'd like to thank for their time, and forgiveness. I'd also like to thank Danny "Sneeze" Eccles for some audio fun he provided.

Similarly to the previous podcast, this was recorded just before everything began to go wrong, which is why we're all in the same room, and also why it begins to snow at one point.

The Infinite Review / 21 / Lockdown

Let's face it, you can't make a video about the dinosaurs without talking about mass extinctions, and maybe that was a bit too much of a downer considering the circumstances we find ourselves in. I did a lot of research for that video (probably too much) and since things out there have been pretty shite in general, I wanted to follow it up with a lighter, sillier one. I think it's fair to say this is light and silly.

I hope you're all hanging in there okay, taking care and being mindful...

The "Fill Yer Boots" Update

As the days go by, I'm seeing more and more people struggling to fill the time. If anything, this only proves that all those books we have on our shelves really were only bought for show.

I'm unlocking the first fifteen podcasts so that anyone can listen to them. I need to know that in some small way I've helped even just one person from giving up and pulling that Scrubs boxset back out of the cupboard. I do hope none of the Rusty Crows mind me doing this. And if they do, look at it thi...

Boys With Emotions

The trial never ends. In the docks we have Victor, who may or may not be a good person. As we try to figure out we discuss Scandinavian folklore, boys with emotions, and find out which film Victor has seen over 14 times recently. Here's a clue: It kinda happened.

Please note: This podcast was recorded in early February, before current ongoing events became quite so eventful. Perhaps that's for the best, as now it can be both a break from our current situation, but also serve as...

The Infinite Review / 20 / Dinosaurs

Hello everyone! I hope you're doing all right, considering everything. Please accept this humble video about dinosaurs to soothe you in these troubled times.

A video about dinosaurs was one of the first ideas I had when I began The Infinite Review, so I'm glad to have finally gotten around to it. I did a lot of research for this one (probably too much) and I don't know if there'll ever be another Infinite Review with this much Actual Information in it again. Still, videos like Demon Cor...

A-TEN-HUT!

Rejoining me on this episode of the Infinite Review Podcast is Eoin "Macker" MacGabhann, who helps me stage a daring time travel rescue effort in the hopes of recovering Sean "The Other Sean" Gildea. Do we succeed? Tommy Lee Jones would.

And don't worry, I have looked it up since recording and know that Raphael's forks are not called forks.

Thank you to slugfuck for their musical contribution, the Star Wars Lament.

The Infinite Review / 19 / International Cookery In Colour

Happy New February!

Hello again, it's good to be back. The bad news is I brought Marguerite Patten (CBE) back with me. It turns out she made a lot of books, so it may take a while to be fully freed from this curse. Thank yous to Sean for all his help and hospitality, and thank yous to yous for your support. I have ideas for videos this year that I'm really looking forward to making and sharing with you, and it's thanks to your support that that's possible.

The Infinite Review / 18 / Christmas Special 2019

Merry Christmas!

Phew. I'm very delighted to be able to bring you this years special, because it was a tough one to get done. I was very sick for almost two weeks, which made filming and voice recording a struggle. I really thought I might not make the xmas deadline. During this time, I received a note from a fan which had some very kind and moving words, and it helped push me to the finish line. I want to express my gratitude to them here. I also want to thank everyone who submitted so...

Caravan of Love

Oh what a treat! Enter the caravan of love and join me, Richie, Danny and Findlay as we discuss The X-Files Trivia VHS Boardgame and our most bizarre unacceptable impulses. There is also some inflammatory Aliens discussion and a deep dive into the topic of guilt. And if that doesn't tickle you, the theory of "the two first contacts" certainly will. (Mah favorite.)

Thank you to my wonderful guests.

The Infinite Review / 17 / All the Resident Evil Movies

I'm out of the attic but the damage has been done. Just in time for not-Halloween, it's the not-horror movie series: Resident Evil! I've been wanting to make this video for a while now, which is probably how it ended up as long as it did. I'm very sorry about that.

Big thanks to everyone who put up with me filming them (all their answers were genuine) and extra-big thanks to my always wonderful Announcer. But forget all of them because my REAL thanks go to all of you for your support. View Post

Sweaty Psychopath

The doctor is IN, and so are the results! Joining me on this very special episode of The Infinite Review Podcast is none other than Dr. Victor himself.

We discuss many topics, and see the return of the phenomenal feature from the last episode which many critics are already calling "genuinely quite a good idea."

If you still haven't decided if Victor is a good person or not, let this episode be his trial. Enjoy!

The Infinite Review / 16 / The Attic

What's that sound, up in the rafters? Oh no, it's the Infinite Review, back out of storage! This one was a lot of fun to do, even if it did force me to acknowledge just how many poor purchase decisions I made in my early teens. We're all guilty of that, though. You can say you didn't, but I'll know the truth once I come to review YOUR attic.

Thank you all so much for your continued support, The Infinite Review would not exist without you.

An extra special podcast will be released ...

The Infinite Review / 15 / Tarot

Hello again to all my patrons past, present and future. In this Infinite Review I take a look at tarot, which was something I knew absolutely nothing about or had even thought about before starting work on this video, so it was fun to learn about its history and what meanings have been ascribed to each card. Maybe I should consider a $100 patron tier for personal readings? Just a thought.

I'd like to thank Danny, Findlay and Richie for putting up with my filming, 2019-08-26 13:27:00 +0000 UTC View Post

The Infinite Review / 14 / E3 2019

Just when you thought you could put E3 behind you, I appear to tell you that it was no dream. It all happened, and it's your fault.

The 100% Sekiro-free Podcast

Joining me on this episode of The Infinite Review Podcast is videogame critic Matthewmatosis. We chat about a range of different topics (none of them Sekiro) which include intolerable game opinions, Otacon's bad storytelling, arcades... and the Sonic movie trailer which was released only shortly before recording. Halcyon days.

As I'm sure most people are far more interested in hearing from Matthew than from me, it won't be behind the usual $3 tier. If you enjoy it, please consider stick...

The Infinite Review / 13 / Valor's Kids

OUT OF THE WAY, BOY!

I have wanted to do a video about Valor's Kids for a while now, so I'm very glad to be able to share this with you. I was first drawn to it because of its unique look, but ended up fascinated by its production. I must thank the genuinely inspiring Kai Mariah for this one.

What should I do a video on next, though? Are there any large corporate showcases coming up? Fingers crossed.

As with each new video, I will be uploading an ac...

We talk about vinyl, TNG and Barry Lyndon, because we are young, relevant and have our fingers on the PULSE. We also take your questions and hear from the good doctor.

The Infinite Review / 11 / The Hellfire Club

It's March! The scariest month of the year. Go on, name a scarier month. Exactly. So here's a video that should help get you into the SPIRIT of the season.

It was hard to resist making a video on the Hellfire Club, as it is such a well known source of local lore here. You couldn't get through school without hearing about the grisly end of some fool who went there to play with a ouija board one night.

I have to give thanks to some people who helped with this video: Pablo, for his w...

The Infinite Review / 10 / Cookery In Colour

When I have streamed in the past, people have often said they would enjoy seeing a cookery video by me. Whether they were actually serious or not, now they have it.

When I decided to make a video about this book, I imagined it would be a quick, short one. But as I went through its odd pages I realised the only way to really review it was to actually make something from it and to eat it, and it grew from there. Honestly, there are so many unusual things in it that the video easily could ...

This episode of The Infinite Review definitely feels like it was more for the patrons than any previous one. Making the Christmas videos is always tough because I like to go the extra mile with them, even though it's a very busy time of year already. And this time I also had a podcast to do as well, which turned out to be a pretty big one. But who doesn't love a big bumper Xmas edition?
