Next Video - Next Week

Good evening!

I'm happy to report that everything is going smoothly and all the extra time is a godsend. I'm planning to have a video out on Aliens Dark Descent sometime next week as I was given early access to it, and luckily it's not quite the campaign length as something like XCOM. Not sure if it'll be in time for launch with how editing can go, but it's definitely a quicker turnaround than usual. Sins is still being recorded on the backburner since there's still a l...

Northern Journey Credit Questions

Video is on schedule! As always, these will be collected from below. 

Thank you!

Next Video Coming and Other Job Update

Good afternoon!

I've played some of the new System Shock remake, and since it's gotten a lot of coverage (and still has some things that I pray get tweaked up over time like melee feedback) I'm not gonna be doing a video on it until sometime in fall at the earliest. While I'm still getting stuff recorded for Sins, I did complete Northern Journey over this week so there'll be a video on that in this coming one if jury duty doesn't take too much time. It should be a short...

Weird West Credit Questions

Still going through the first person mod, but as usual the video questions will be collected from comments below.

Thank you! 

Next Video Poll

Good afternoon!

The long, long road of getting Pathfinder WotR properly played through and made into a video is done, and while I thought that'd calm things down it's been a bit of a strange time on the backend. The Anonymous Agony video is currently down due to a copyright takedown (an exceptionally silly one, not even music) and is being properly disputed. The next step would be the legal arena, which I don't expect it'll come to with how the counterclaim has been fil...

Pathfinder Credit Questions

As per usual, these will be gathered from the comments below. This one was a bit of a doozy.

Thank you!

Genesis Rising Postmortem & Pathfinder WoTR

Afternoon Everyone!

I've mainly been heads down getting the last bits of Pathfinder content wrapped up, as with luck I'll be able to get the video done by the end of the month and before they release even more DLC for the thing since they dropped a piece of it in early March. I did have some footage get zapped from the data loss in December, but luckily not a ton so going back to regrab some stuff shouldn't be an issue.

On the Genesis Rising side of things, one of the developers l...

Genesis Rising Video Questions

The game on blood spaceships is upcoming so I'm going to start getting these collected now. As always these will be gathered from the comments below.

Thank you!

Next Video Update

Evening!

Back in the country and back in the swing of things. There'll be a video next week on Genesis Rising, which is an obscure space RTS that Callisto Protocol of all things got me thinking about. Even at launch the game was unstable at best, and nowadays it's an even worse nightmare since there's no in mission save system and it has a nasty tendency of crashing. 

Space Horrors Over For Now & The Fight Panel Drawings

Good afternoon!

So this marks the end of the space horror for a while, unless the System Shock remake actually comes out this month which was still showing some worrying polish issues when I played the newest demo. I'll be out of the country a few days but when I'm back the march on Pathfinder WotR will be continuing. There's also a very different kind of space game I'm toying with the idea of doing a video on, but it has some issues running it I'll have to try tacklin...

Next Set of Video Questions

Afternoon!

The Callisto Protocol video should be out this week, since like I said that and the Dead Space remake one were worked on a bit in parallel so it's far along. As usual questions will be collected from the comments below. 

Thank you!

Videos Delayed

That figures.

Apologies for any bad formatting since I'm typing this on mobile. The good news is that I didn't have covid, just a particularly nasty flu I'm coughing out the final bits of. The bad news was the coughing was so bad over such a long period that it caused that lovely herniated disc in my spine from four years ago to flare up. That was a period where I was going insane trying to get a video on Pathologic 2 done since I was ...

Next Video Questions

As always these will be collected from the comments below. Video release date is currently unknown since this past week got dense and I didn't get a review key for Dead Space so the video won't be until February but the Callisto video shouldn't be long after.

Thanks as always for your support!

Just a Brief Status Update

Hope your new year is going well!

It's been a bit eventful on my end. Discovered the back of my car got busted in the parking lot and the trunk latch destroyed (nothing worth stealing in there thankfully, still suspect someone backed into it and took off) right on the same day I got summoned for jury duty. Managed to get that pushed back by a few months since I had both a broken car and I'm working through a nasty virus right now. Not sure if it's COVID since the at-hom...

Holidays Begin (and the nightmares of Kharak)

Good morning!

So the Deserts of Kharak video was absolutely a cursed affair and I didn't want to get into details until it was out and done to not curse myself further. I also don't like talking about any technical problems going on in detail unless it's bringing a video to a full stop, and this one was clearly salvaged now that it's done with.

It was supposed to be out monstrously long ago, as I first back and forthed with Extellus about the animation in mid-2020...

Next Video Credit Questions

The Ring curse has continued with some technical difficulties, but the video is still on the way. As always questions for the credits will be collected from comments below.

Thanks so much!

Homeworld Video is Up Next

Afternoon!

So Ring has won and my primary hard drive is fail. My motherboard has been acting a bit finnicky the past months, but some files are starting to fall to corruption and its time has come. Everything is already backed up on an external and online drive so it's not breaking any projects or any disaster like that. I'm honestly happy the hard drive lasted so long as it's gone between some computers now and has been overwritten to hell and back over the past 6 year...

Next Video Questions

As always, these will be collected from the comments below. The video should be out at the end of next week since I'm beginning to navigate the Thanksgiving prep season.

Thanks so much!

Next Videos Coming Along Smoothly

Good afternoon!

I've been working on a few videos in parallel, including one that's been a long time coming, so hopefully there should be 3 before the year ends. Nothing really to report on that end, so good news there. 

The Ring video is somehow still up so I'm hoping to get the first version of captions up for it soon as it's a doozy to get through. They're later than I'd like them this round since I genuinely thought the video wouldn't last long a...

Ring: The Uncut Backup

Happy Halloween weekend!

It feels like I can properly start getting into the spirit now since I've been swamped all month. Anyways, with the abundance of music that orchestras/random people rapping over the lyrics will be hungry to lay a claim on I don't expect the Ring video to survive on YouTube, at least not unaltered. I'll be genuinely shocked if no one tries to make a grab at it, but in the case that it does I put a backup of the video on Vimeo for now that's embed...

Halloween Adventure Game Credit Questions

These are being collected far earlier than usual, but as I mentioned in a previous post the video will be going up onto YouTube a lot earlier than it'll be public to check for the inevitable music copyright nonsense that'll be awaiting it. So with that in mind I'm getting ahead on everything earlier and they'll be gathered from the comments below as usual.

Thank you!

Arcanum Credit Questions

As usual, these will be collected from the comments below. With luck the video should be out at the usual time before the weekend.

Thanks as always!

October Video Updates/Halloween Video Notice

Evening!

Luckily there's not much to report on the current video beyond "the work continues". Halloween video is underway with some fun things being cooked up for that, but right now my main focus is on getting Arcanum's video done. Hopefully it'll be in the second week of October, but it might end up being sooner if some things in real life line up better since there's some uncertain stuff I'm waiting on that makes mid-October a big question mark for what will be happe...

Duskers Credit Questions

As usual, these will be collected from the comments below. Expect the video in a week from today.

Thanks as always! 

Next Video Poll

Alright, time for deciding.

I'm torn between two Arcanum-adjacent videos that are fairly light on story. The first is Lord of the Rings: The Third Age which is a FFX clone that's astoundingly well done until the game just stops. The other is Duskers which is a horror strategy game about sending drones into derelict spaceships. Even if the winner doesn't make the cut this time, it'll likely become a video in the next few months.

Choose wisely!

Marathon Infinity Art Assets & More

Howdy! 

There's a lot of stuff to post this round. The video really did feel like the end of a long four part project that ran longer than I intended, but I did try to explain Marathon Infinity as simply as possible . . . which still takes a long time. Like the pathways video Dakota Lee (@tat2kid714) did a thumbnail with a bit of a callback to that video and some other affiliated media. 

First off, Gianni Matragrano provided the lines for Durandal in the...

All looks to be on schedule and the video should be out around the usual time next week. As always they'll be from the comments below.

Marathon Infinity & Video Update

Morning everyone!

If you're at all familiar with Infinity, you know what I'm currently trying to make digestible. The separation out of videos did end up for the best, since I'm also going to be covering some previous elements in more depth like Gherritt White and IAM%HERO since if anyone is in this deep they'll find those more interesting than if they were in their standalone game videos. The good news is that I'm in the editing stage of it, there's just still a lot to...

Quick Update

Hey everyone!

So the Marathon 2 video is mostly done, but I came down sick with something after taking a trip that's irritated the hell out of my throat so I can't do any touchup lines just yet. So I'm not sure when it'll clear up but I'll be finishing the video up as soon as it won't sound incredibly jarring. Can't imagine it being much more than a week, tests showed it wasn't COVID. For the time I'll just be getting ahead on some work not needing my voice.
