So I might have forgotten to do the weekly update... better late than never.
I'm currently making pretty good pace on editing the Ace Combat X2 video, and I don't think it should be all that late, despite how behind schedule things were at the start of the week thanks to the MGS3 video. I e...

Okay, so it's not anywhere near as early as I would like my early access to be, but the MGS3 video is finally ready! It took a little longer than expected due to some copyright issues, but it should all be worked out now!
I know that a lot of people have been looking forward to this one for...

I'm currently pretty deep into the editing stage of the MGS3 Review, but it's still got a ways to go. I'm currently expecting to finish this one around Sunday morning, so we're going to be cutting it pretty close on the deadline with this one 😅
I'll obviously be getting it into early acc...

Oh boy.
The Metal Gear Solid 3 video is well underway, and it's going to be a long one. I'm not sure how long it's going to be exactly, but it's going to sit somewhere around an hour long, and with that, I'm pretty certain that much like the MGS2 video, it's going to be one that's hard to g...
2024-02-21 01:41:46 +0000 UTC View PostAfter the video getting delayed thanks to slow shipping times, the Ace Combat 6 video is finally ready to go!
I was really excited to get into this one, as thanks to its Xbox 360 exclusivity, AC6 is the worst selling console game in the series, making it the one mainline entry that a lot of...

So I forgot to do my Monday update... whoops.
Anyway, the review is in a good spot currently, and I'm working through the editing stage at this point. I'm still slightly behind my normal schedule (thanks a lot MGS2), but I expect to have this one done close to when I normally would, as it's...

Alright so after playing catch-up all week, the new video is finally ready to go!
This will definitely be one of the most controversial videos I've done in a long time, but I'm feeling pretty good about it overall, and I definitely think it's one of the more interesting videos in recent mem...

We're getting controversial this week boys!
I don't have a ton to share, as I don't want to give too much away before being able to just share the video itself, but this is definitely one of the more interesting videos I've done in a minute...
Things are a little behind this wee...

The Metal Gear Solid 2 Review is finally finished! Getting this done in the span of a week was really difficult, but it's here and I'm really proud of how it ultimately came out.
It's the longest review I've done so far, weighing in at a little over 52 minutes long, since there's just...

I normally aim to have videos done and ready to go for Contributors by Friday or Saturday morning, but that definitely won't be happening this week. The final version of the video is currently looking to be about 52 minutes long, and I still have a decent ways to go on the editing. It will defini...

I've finally gotten the script for Metal Gear Solid 2 finished up... and this is going to be a LONG one. Metal Gear Solid was the longest review that I had done in over a year, and this is probably going to be 20 minutes longer (roughly speaking).
I don't have a lot to share with you ...

Alright, so after a week with some minor distractions (Tekken 8), the Ace Combat X Review is done!
This is the first of the two PSP games in the Ace Combat series, and I was definitely surprised by it. There's a lot of good, and a lot of not so good, making for a fairly interesting video al...

Alright, so the next review on deck is for Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception! It's the first Ace Combat game to grace the PlayStation Portable, and it's already shaping up to be a pretty interesting review!
The script before any potential additions is coming in at 3155 words, and I'm current...

It seems like crazy work weeks are going to be a pattern for these Metal Gear reviews... oh well.
The Metal Gear: Ghost Babel Review is done! This is definitely one of the more interesting games I've looked at recently, with it being the result of Konami wanting to put Metal Gear Solid on N...

Okay, so these late updates are becoming a bit of a pattern at this point, but I swear it's just because these last few videos have been kind of wild.
Between having some life responsibilities that have taken time away from the video this week, along with needing to rewrite and re-record th...

The Ace Combat Zero Review is finally done, and this is an exciting one!
I know a lot of people were waiting on this video for weeks thanks to the 4 week gap between the AC5 video and this one. I made sure to take a little extra care with the writing and editing this time around to make up ...

Alright, a bit of a late update this week, but I've been plugging away at the Ace Combat Zero review! It took me a little longer than usual to get this one written because I was having a hard time wording myself in an understandable way, but everything seems to be back on schedule now. The video ...

It was a very long week of work, but the Metal Gear Solid review is finally done, and it's honestly my favorite video I've made in a long time. It's officially the longest review I've done since first experimenting with video essays WAY back, I'm incredibly proud of how it came out, and I'm...

Woof.
This will be the longest review I've ever done. I'm estimating that it will be somewhere in the ballpark of 35-40 minutes, so it might not be out for Contributors as early as normal 😅
Needless to say, lots of thoughts, lots of work to be done, so I'm excited to get it out to ...

After a very long week of editing, I present to you, the Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake Review! It's the second longest review I've done, only being beaten out by the Armored Core VI Review back in October!
This is definitely where a lot of the classic Metal Gear tropes got their start, and I ha...

The script is complete, and I can confirm, reviewing a Game Boy title for the first time has been... interesting. This one will be the shortest review in a while, just because there isn't as much to cover here, but from what I have done so far, I think it will be one of the most entertaining revi...

Regardless, I'm excited to finally be ab...

The update this week is a bit late and it's entirely because I've been a little behind schedule on the video work thanks to some life responsibilities as well as working on some new things for the new year. But... the AC5 review is in the editing stages finally, meaning I can start banging this o...
