The Final (hopefully) Pay Pause

Hey everyone

So it's happening (or not happening) again. I was able to do some more this month but we're now in Halloween video prep territory without an upload since March (holy shit) so I still don't want to be collecting anything until that's out. I really appreciate all the outreach and offers of "please take my money anyways" etc but it's extremely important to me I don't do that to the point it'd probably be more detrimental to my brain if I was getting income here withou...

Another Month, Another Charge Pause

Hello again

Sorry everyone, some things have been more grim than usual and a few others have been tied up, but unfortunately I'm still not happy with the rate of video progress on my end so I'll be pausing the charge again this month to be sure I have the time to finish the upcoming video with the proper time and headspace. Patreon doesn't actually let me pause a month "in advance", so I'll be doing that on the 27th when the button actually lets me.

Thanks as always! I appreciat...

No Charge for This Month

Hey everyone,

First of all, congratulations to the winners of the Thing concepts! After taking another skim of them, there are a few more (as usual) winners because picking became difficult between the top 3, so now it's top 5.

JSlobber - Offseason hole in the wall island resort has the Thing land. This was maybe the most vivid to me because it feels like the most realistic sequel it could have had in the 80s. Remote tropics instead of ice, ability to have simila...

SOMA STILL ON THE WAY

So usually when I'm collecting credit questions it means the video is a week or two away (which was the plan) but IRL has been absolutely slamming me the past month in some pretty dire ways beyond just other work. I actually had a solid while without internet (the power of cable) in the middle of that going on as a local ISP is starting to roll out fiber and lines got sliced through all over the place and mobile is spotty, but that's thankfully over now. I can't go over the details of what el...

The Thing Giveaway Contest + SOMA Update

Hey everyone!

So travelling earlier last month I caught a pretty bad sickness that was coming in and out which was mainly stopping me from doing voiceover. That's behind me now which is good since now I can get the damn video done, since just having my voice be out is maybe one of the most frustrating blockers I have for projects (I was still able to do the PST Subspace episode since I'm at least playing a bug man in that). It feels like a few years ago I rarely ever got sick, though ap...

New Video Poll

As I suspected with Dark Athena it took me longer to get it done when I expected it'd be shorter. After Thief 2, The Thing Remastered, Homeworld etc I'm finding videos definitely run longer when they have direct comparisons even though Dark Athena should have been an easy "it's just Riddick with these changes" when I outlined it, but there was a lot more in there. It's why I broke the video up into two rather than tacking on a small aside about it near the end of the Butcher Bay one.

An...

Video on the Way (also split in 2)

Mild update from my end, since the video got combined into 1, then I realized it'd likely be better as 2 again, but regardless the first is still coming in the next few days and then the "second part" shouldn't be long after (though I was really hoping to have these both out this month). On the company side we had some surprises come together quickly (we're publishing Endless Legend 2 now) and Heart of the Machine launched today so there were some extra snags.

Thanks!

2025 Plans, potential Patron only video, and more

Happy new year!

Between work and the holidays I was already fairly loaded, but I also decided to maneuver away from the regular videos to work on 2 upcoming ones since The Thing made me realize I hadn't done videos on either and I've referenced them a few times already so should knock them out. I'm also thinking of a way to get a copy of the Thing out that's not an art contest like the usual (but also not some kind of lottery) so that'll also be happening in the next fe...

Next Video FAQ

As always, questions will be collected from the comments below. This one ended up being a surprise embargo game so I can't talk about it yet, but it'll make sense when the video is out in early December. The next one is already being worked on in parallel.

Thank you!

New Video (sort of) and Hurricane Helene

Afternoon everyone!

I was hoping to post this earlier but my utilities have been a bit haywire the past while. So I'm all moved out, and while doing so I made a publisher showcase for Hooded Horse. They're the side job I picked up earlier in the year compared to my regular contract work, though in this case I'm actually on the leadership team for it. I've been scouting out a lot of games (some unannounced which viewers of the channel should be extremely ha...

Moving Update (and more)

Good afternoon!

So I didn't want to say anything until it was a done deal, but I'm moving out of my apartment. It's been a long hunt to get to this point, especially with the neighbors getting louder and weirder to the point it was interfering with my recording times, but I got a place that will be significantly quieter since it's a house with some seclusion. I'm also going to be out of the country in London for a week for my other job, so when I get back ...

Darkest of Days (Delayed) Some Days

Hey everyone!

Bad news - Darkest of Days video will be next week over this one. I try not to bog everyone down with details unless it's a situation where I'm out of commission a while (like when my spine went BRRRK a few years back) so this is more just a bunch of IRL stuff has been popping up non-stop the past few days and I want to make sure the video is good instead of trying to get it pushed out tomorrow (I had aimed for today originally) and I might end up aiming t...

Time Travel Back on Track (and Halloween plans)

Howdy everyone!

Last month got busy irl between going to a friend's wedding, some other work, and quite a bit else that popped up, but the good news is that I'm back editing. The next entry in the time travel game videos is going to be Darkest of Days, since it's more of an obscure one that happens to have an insane level of ambition to it. It's also not actually sold anymore which only helped to bury it, and when it did the thing never went on sale. I also have Singula...
