First Draft of Annihilation Script

We're finally getting somewhere with the new channel, which if you missed it, you can find over here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBPy4X-lQlnyN2-Z4U4t65g

I've finished my first draft of the script, which ended up being a lot longer than I expected for my first project. Tomorrow I'll be reading...

Metroid Follow-up

First of all, whoops, Other M was in the last poll because I genuinely thought it was a 2D game by Team Ninja and never actually checked.

Anyway, the two leading games are Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion, with Super Metroid being the clear leader. For some context though, I'm intending to cover Metroid Dread when it comes out in October. Dread is apparently a sequel to Metroid Fusion, which I didn't really know before. Given this context, which of these two games would you prefer I cov...

Which 2D Metroid Games Are Your Favorite?

I think it's time to finally cover the Metroid half of Metroidvania. Maybe we'll get to the Vania part soon, too. Vote for as many of the below as you want. I've never played any of them, having preferred swords and miserable piles of secrets.

This series would premiere after Subnautica, not Devotion.

[VOTE] Bugsnax vs. Spiritfarer

Alright, we have two clear leads in yesterday's poll, so let's have a clarifying vote.

Bugsnax: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-v1BxSETvI

Spiritfarer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXi5H04EnN0

[VOTE] Next Stephanie Game

Paradise Killer is wrapping up soon, and I thought the next game was going to be LSD, but that game seems to be much too long for a full series to remain interesting.

After having my first choice not work out, I'm not feeling a super specific pull this time around. I've got plenty options, since I always keep to-do lists.  Even really specific ones for games that look like they'd be good for playing with Andrew, Bird, or Stephanie, specifically.

So, uh, here's a selection fro...

[VOTE] Subnautica: Below Zero vs Resident Evil 8: Village

So I usually let myself pick games mostly on a whim, with a series of lists to keep track of my options and which series to follow up on.  Most of the time I don't really care about new releases all that much, and often have one whole newish game running at a time.

But every now and then something comes out that I'm "obviously" going to play, like a new From Software souls-like or something.  Lately there have been a few more examples of things I'll "obviously" play immediatel...

Questions from Patreon Part 100 Finale: House of Leaves

It's been, uh, whoops, like seven months since the last update? For more info on that, watch the intro video.

Intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdORDouUyoI

Anyway, I've decided that I'm going to put out the "Part 100" finale as a video series over the course of weeks or months because it's just an easier project to process in that form. I can chip away at it over time this way instead of doing...

Undeleted Scenes #4 - Andrew's Daddy Cat

There's a lot of setup and cooldown time before and after multiplayer sessions and podcasts.  Any recordings I have from that don't really fit in the content that we were making at the time, but sometimes there's a clip to be salvaged.  This series is those clips.

PATREON CHOSEN GAME - VOTING ROUND

The new public post approach seemed to work for nominations, so here we go.  For those that missed the nomination post (because viewership is locked to them) the messaging system and the dashboard that lists patrons have undergone changes that have made my previous approach less and less feasible, so we're switching to blog posts, which I guess I could have always been doing.

How Should Episodes of Hades Be Handled?

I've finally started my playthrough of Hades, and the game proposes a bit of a conundrum.  It's a rogue-lite, where you go on runs, and it often feels like I should present each run in its entirety, all at once.  The issue is that Hades is not a quick and snappy rogue-lite, so the runs can go on for well over an hour.  I can't really blitz through this game with hour-long daily episodes, as this isn't in the RPG slot (and I'll be quite busy there soon with Cyberpunk 2077).

Wow, We Made it!

I definitely didn't cheat or anything.

Yeeeaaaaah, I got in line for a Valve Index earlier this year and received the notification that I'm next about a week ago. I chose not to let the opportunity pass.

So thank you for your continued support, even if we didn't quite reach the goal.  Look f...

Premium Credits Tiers

You may remember that I was getting rid of the $25 tier because I was no longer going to be offering the Let's Try Curator perk.  In response, there was mention from some people that just being separated in the credits was worth it.  Also, while people from the previous $25 tier have moved on to other tiers, many are still supporting me via the custom amount of $25 while technically in the ...

Undeleted Scenes #1

Testing a new show where I put some of the amusing scraps that occur usually before episodes have really begun.  A Patreon perk, but I have no idea how often episodes are likely to come out.

Repurposing the Let's Try Slot

[I originally posted this in discord, but I figured I should re-edit it, expand it, and post it over here.]

I've found myself questioning lately whether the Let's Try slot should continue to exist.

As the schedule has compressed it now takes up one of four total timeslots, being:

1) RPG

2) Let's Try

3) Patreon

4) The confusing rotating slot

And while I like the variety the rotating slot brings, TLoU2 and KRZ took a very, very long time back to back. S...
