Alexander - Creator (Normal) Blind Runs

Here it is! x.x Let me know if you see any errors or whatnot because I'm sure I missed a couple... Anyway, hope you all like it!

*Taking it down temporarily to reupload with corrections brought to my attention :P

**Should be up again with corrections shortly.

Dueling Circle of Scorn

I like this name, but it's still a work in progress.  I had way too much fun with this video, though.  So much so I don't even care how well it will do.  It makes me laugh and I'm excited to hear what Jesse and Corey think too :P

Also, keep your volume down.

OFA 2 - Picking a Weapon (Part 1)

Here's the latest installment for the Offline Adventures comic series, still featuring Jesse and I through our Monster Hunter shenanigans.

Patch 3.4 Release with NEST!

Sorry for the wait, everyone.  Hope you all enjoy it :)  Now I'm gonna go sleep... -.-

Line Art for the next OFA comic

Comin along nicely if I do say so myself!  Our artist is killin it!

OFA - Picking a Weapon 1

A new Offline Adventure (OFA) featuring Jesse trying to figure out which weapon he'd main in Monster Hunter Gen.  This is just a rough draft drawn up by yours truly before I send it off to the artist.  Rather sloppy (especially towards the end) but it encompasses the general idea of the story I'm trying to tell.  Wanted to get one of these in the works before I'm swamped with 3.4 content, so I hope you enjoy it and it holds you over while I work on the main course! :D

Overwatch - Salt Mines (NEST vs Fans)

Sorry about the earlier upload, I noticed some errors that flew under the radar in my initial proof-watches.  Anyway, these are some of my favorite parts of our first few Overwatch fan play streams.  Hope you like 'em too!

Stuck in a rut!

So this is more of a rambling post than anything else, but I don't do these nearly as often as I should so I figured it's better than nothing.  Things lately have been a bit chaotic.  It's not that things are bad or getting out of control, but this transitional period has required a lot of adjusting and we haven't quite gotten into the swing of things just yet.  That on top of not knowing how or when my schedule may change consistently with future work has sapped me of quite a bit...

Tank Talk (podcast)

Here's yesterday's podcast.  Raw, unedited (mostly), ready to watch.  Enjoy :)

Names Displayed on Videos

Here on patreon, your profile name is shown to me when you pledge.  I'll be using these for the end credits of my videos as I've been doing up until now.  Since there are more of you, however, I want to make sure everyone is on board with their listed names.   For now I will list each name with the first letter abbreviation of the last name unless told otherwise.  Please let me know soon as I'll be putting them at the end of this TankTalk from today's stream.

Questions on tanking

So I'm doing my best to get Jesse and Corey on with me today for stream to talk about their tanking experience on and off of FFXIV. Post any questions (yours take priority to those on Twitter and facebook) and I'll pick the best ones for them to answer live.

It's here!

The new website is up!  And you're the first to know :)

Now, don't you go crucifying me, all you design majors/programmers.  I've spent a lot of time dealing with the presets on wordpress to make it look THIS good.  When we can afford a designer to take it up a notch, we'll take that chance.  Till then, I hope you guys enjoy the new drakgamestein.com!

TADA!! "Offline Adventures" reveal!

So this is my newest little side-project (art compliments of @SuperSpuddles aka Archimedys).  It's been something that I've wanted to do for months now for FFXIV stuff between raids while I'm not recording, but have lacked the artistic talent (Archi) until now.  Since my adventures with Jesse in MHGen came most recently, however, I wanted to put these out since I can't record it at all (at least until I get my capture card).

There is already a first chapter following this, but I'm go...

Sneak Peak

Alright, I know that not everyone is supposed to have access to these, but it's such a small preview that I'm including you all.  I'm currently working on a project with the artist to... document (let's say) some of our offline shenanigans.  This is one of my doodles I was having fun with, but also a smaller part of a much bigger rough draft.  Any guesses as to what it's about?  More to come for the higher tiers soon.

We've moved! (Life Post)

So I've talked about this a bit before and on streams, but to keep you most loyal and devoted fans in the loop, we have moved away from Phoenix, AZ.  We're still in AZ and are actually with my parents for the time being.  There was a job opportunity here that would allow me to get experience in education without a lot of the red tape you see elsewhere (fuck you, recruiters, you can't make me go back to school for a Master's!  ... yet).  I'm aiming for a long-term sub position...

AMA Time!

I've been busy and gotten distracted lately, so this hasn't been a thing for a while, but I'm gonna do my best to bring it back on a more frequent basis.  Not much changes week to week, so it's easy to forget about.  In any case: ask me anything!  Preferably regarding vids, new projects, and the group, though I'll indulge on some insight to my life as well if desired :P

Prelim Reward Adjustments

My brainstorming hasn't gotten very far, but I have made adjustments to the rewards that I feel will allow everyone to be included considering the current state of things.  It's hard coming up with these things since they have to recur every month without taking away from my main video/streaming work, but I will do my best to keep them fresh and worth it.  Also, fear not $1 patrons, I haven't forgotten you.  I'll keep thinking about something to show my appreciation.  Till th...

Changing up Patreon Rewards

Things are looking to change here in the next few months regarding raiding, streaming, and life in general.  As such, I will be trying to revamp the rewards so they stay relevant and pay off for you all.

If you have any suggestions you've been thinking off, please let me know.  Otherwise, I'll be brainstorming over the next week and will let you all know what I come up with.  Keep in mind I'll only be trying to make them BETTER for you all, so don't panic.  Anything that ge...

Cuff of the Son (Savage) - with [NEST]

Done.  Done with this shit.  Enjoy.  Back to packing up for this move. (fades into the darkness)

Stream Highlight 2 - Palace of the Drak (Part 1)

Here's the latest addition to the Stream Highlights.  Probably the last one for a while since we FINALLY BEAT A6S and I'll be working on that video for the next week or so.  As always, enjoy and let me know if I missed anything in the video (it's very early so there's a chance something flubbed up despite my touch-ups).

Thank you so much for the support this month!

NidEx Guide

Phew, finally caught up!  Enjoy!

3DS Capture Card on the way!

So a good number of you messaged me letting me know you wanted your monthly donations to go towards the capture card, so I took all of that, made up the difference myself, and got it ordered!  It will be on my old 3DS (I was nervous about sending in my shiny new one) so my main game data will be different from what I stream most likely (unless I figure out how to copy data efficiently), but it will be a stream nonetheless!

Thanks for you support, guys, and I'll do my best to make it worth...

Very Bad Voice Acting

I wanted to start making more content between raid vids, so I thought I'd turn to my FFXIV stream antics to fill the space.  I made this as a highlight on my twitch channel, but thought enough people might get a kick out of it as a clipped up video as well.  I hope I was right...

3DS Capture Card Initiative

This is just a very poorly done webcam stream, but something I'd like to do better in the future.  I know quite a few of you are monster hunter fans yourselves, so I'd like to take more of an active attempt towards getting a 3DS equipped with a capture card so these streams can be higher quality and done more often.

How does this affect you?  Nothing is going to be changed outwardly, but if you would like your monthly donations to go towards a capture card, send me a message or l...

NEST x Denmo

Finally got all the assets I wanted for this. Enjoy the old footage :P

New Upfront Payments

Hey guys, quick announcement.  There is a new system in place which allows supporters like you to be charged as soon as you pledge, meaning that there won't be any waiting around till the 1st of the next month for rewards!

How does that affect those of you already pledged?  You will still be charged on the 1st of every month, no changes there.  If you upgrade your pledge, however, the DIFFERENCE will be paid out as soon as you make the change.  So going from $10 to $20 ...

Ringtone Requests

I can make more from our old videos by request, but here are some that are already made.  Message me your choices!
