Exclusive: Powerwashing Tangents

more from the VOD vault!

Exclusive: Terrible TV Games (ft. fuzzywhazzit)

still grinding away at the game music video, but making very good progress. in the mean time, here's a bunch of terrible games and a discussion about the logistics of creating pornography in outdoor alaska.

Exclusive: Sentencing CS:GO Cheaters to Death (in game)

surprise, it's another would-be video from the vault. just wanted to get this out before I headed out of town for a few days.

Exclusive: CS:GO anthology - 2021-2023

in celebration of the game's birthday and the fact that CS2 is coming soon: recut and in shining 1080p, here are literally all the CSGO clips I have from the past 2 years (before that I don't have the original footage). I've tried like 8 different songs and 3 different cuts of this, but this is t...

update: new scripted video in progress

in addition to the first cut uploaded today, I also wanted to update you all on what's happening on the scripted video front. in summary: stuff.

the current script is about the best used soundtrac...

First Cut: 12 minutes of Oblivion

a bit unsure of how the length will ultimately turn out on this one by the time it's done, but I predict the final cut will be less than 20 mins.

second(?) cut: Tale of Two Wastelands mod

the tale of two wastelands video is here in full, uncut, 40 minute glory. enjoy.

all this time I had no idea

attached below are zips containing the upcoming Barrel Vision EP, "all this time I had no idea", in 320kbps MP3 and .WAV formats. enjoy (if you like ambient stuff and quaint little noises).

first cut: Fallout - Tale of Two Wastelands mod

here's the first 6 minutes of a Tale of Two Wastelands video I'm cutting together. I'm debating whether I want to cut everything into one video or make it a two parter for fallout 3/new vegas.

XCOM at deathdoodle's

last night I was on the boi deathdoodle's stream playing XCOM with the bois, and I recorded a lil bit of vlog-style stuff before we started. putting this out on here and twitter as a test to gauge interest, might do some slightly longer (and exclusive) stuff in this vein if there is.

cut stuff: extra Half-Life footage

I had a more than usual amount of leftover Half-Life b roll, so I put some of the interesting shots together with a bit of music for your viewing pleasure.

cut stuff: Insurgency Sandstorm

I've been periodically looking around at some of the half-finished project files I have and figured "some of this is good stuff, but not long enough to make a full youtube upload." hence, here we are. expect more in the future. patron exclusive.

and yes the Half-Life video is still coming.<...

Update: February 16, 2023 - busy, busy, busy

time for a good ol' fashioned status report.

music stuff

a few weeks ago, I decided to give my music toolkit some refreshment. it's something I do every couple of years so that I'm not always working with the exact same plugins, techniques, and so on. in doing so I kinda stumbled in...

First Cut: Orbs, Weaponized Dolphins, & Commercials

so I'm labeling these previews as First Cuts now. before I make the subtitles and do whatever censoring stuff I need to do for youtube, you get them first. text updates will continue to be labeled as "updates".

Update: January 17th, 2022 - what's boppin

alright I gotta start a stream in the next half hour, so I'm gonna be a bit surgical here.

Half-Life video

as the teaser at the end of the best of video implies, the Half-Life video has finally resumed production. I'm reviewing, making edits, and adding to the script again....

First Cut: brave's best of 2022

so this video has turned out to be even more of a big undertaking than I had initially thought. as evidence, here is the first 15 minutes of it, which is all the games leading up to the top 10.

I have more than this done at the moment, but I figured this would be better than cliff...

Update: December 15th, 2022 - a post-blocky un-surprise

hey that video that came out that already here but not there is now there. the minecraft one. you know the one.

so what's next?

brave's annual performance index

yes. that big mess of a thing that I've been working on forever will finally see the light of day by the end of Dece...

Update: December 1st, 2022 - a blocky surprise

so instead of telling you about the status of the next video, I figured this time I'd actually show you with the power of patreon's new video hosting. here's an early cut.

the edit is essentially complete minus subtitles, the end cards, and a few little edits I want to adjust. this'll take ...

Update: November 17, 2022 - agh, egh, ugh

a fashionable 2 days late (technically I started writing this at like 11:30 PM yesterday, but it's the thought that counts). hope you're all staying within comfy temperatures. I sadly don't have a lot to report here, but I figure I may as well give the state of affairs.

video when?

...

Update: November 2, 2022 - first look at the next video

hey hey. apologies for the day lateness, stuff kinda came up. despite my best hopes for this Half-Life video to be done by halloween, it's looking more like within the next 2 or 3 weeks. I hit a bit of a wall with the script, so I dove into the game to get a head start at collecting footage and f...

Update: October 15, 2022 - I finished the stupid album

as you likely already know, Barrel Vision Volume 2 is finally out. I've already issued download codes to all patrons (check your messages here on Patreon), so that's awaiting you if you so desire it. 

the next videos (probably)

...

Update: October 1, 2022 - operation finish the stupid album

it feels like these updates are tiny droplets of water in the torrential downpour of global events, but maybe there's still some value in that. my condolences if you're dealing with a hurricane or an invasion or some other life-shaking event beyond your control right now. on to lighter stuff:

behind the scenes: a general breakdown

Update: September 15, 2022 - a tisket, a task

as you're reading this very post, the latest video has been shipped to screens all across the globe. eyeballs are being re-programmed to suck in double the amount of content. nothing went "horribly" wrong as per m...

Update: September 1, 2022 - new news

exciting things. revolutionary things. world changing things. none of which I have anything to do with and will not be featured in this update post. instead I will tell you about the nonsense I've been working on.

video status

as of last night, the script for the new vegas video is ...

Update: August 15, 2022 - Cope and Seething in Las Vegas

in researching for this video, I've done a fair bit of diving into Las Vegas' history so that I can contextualize it in my observations of New Vegas. most of this stuff isn't going to make it into the script, so I figured I might share some of the interesting bits here. some of them even directly...

Update: August 1, 2022 - this one

ring-a-ding. frankly, the last 2 weeks haven't been as productive as I'd have liked (for a variety of boring personal reasons I won't get into). still, while it feels inaccurate to say that things "got done", some things did get somewhere. 

a video, and a not yet video

the vide...

Update: July 15, 2022 - what's up?

last time on Dragonball Z: I said that I had a Jimmy Neutron brain blast idea for a New Vegas video. what was it, exactly? how am I going to finagle it into a workable script? find out this time on Dragonball Z.

what is the meatman talking about?

I mentioned that I wanted to wr...

Update: July 2, 2022 - seconds, seconds

I swear this day late update thing isn't going to be a trend, I was just enjoying a bit of crunch to get the video out the door. I ran into a few speed bumps toward the end of the edit process that really put a drag on things, but fortunately it didn't take too long to get over them. loo...
