Hey pals! Just thought I'd post here in case people didn't see - the final version of the Vaccines video is now public.
I'm catching up on sleep and getting some admin work done (YouTube just now reminded me I have three days to file some kind of tax form with them actually) and I'll have a...

Hey gang!
Please find enclosed the full-length Patron draft of the Vaccines video! There's a few things that aren't entirely done yet, namely the colour grading of the live-action shots (my face is not normally that green, I hope), and the audio levels / music are still being worked on, but...
2021-05-10 01:31:04 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks!
I was going to post this update on the first, and then worried people might think it was a joke, so I waited a little while.
Progress on the Vaccines video is going really well. Too well, in fact. We've done so much research and writing and editing and rewriting an...

Hey folks! Here's the first 20 minutes of the video.
This part is largely finished, except for the colour grading, which I'm finally getting someone else to do instead of ruining it all by myself. One thing Kat, my genius producer, has already pointed out while I was uploading this version,...

Hey folks!
As I mentioned, because my family has moved out of the house my set was built in, the set is being 'retired' in the vaccines video. So while I still had it, we shot a little tour of the place just for posterity's sake. Check it out if you want to see what the back of the set look...

Hey there!
I like experimenting with ways of breaking up videos that threaten to just be footage of one or two games, so the Fallout video had a few animated illustrations in the corner to help point out which game was being played, and also a small segment in the moral choices chapter had ...

Hey folks! I hope Christmas and new year's was vaguely passable.
The non-patron version of the Christmas video is finally here. There aren't that many changes since the patron version - I recorded a few things that didn't make it in because they were intended to be references back to the Va...

Hey folks!
Please find enclosed the Fallout: New Vegas video. I'm really happy with it, I went for a faster and more defined sense of pace than normal to make sure it didn't get out of hand and become infinitely long. I love this game very much, so that was a clear risk. There's a very smal...

Hey pals,
First off, I'm really sorry about not posting videos as fast as I'd hoped. I got pretty sick toward the end of October - I don't think it was covid, but I was afraid of going to get checked and then spreading it or getting it for real, so I holed up and waited it out. Once I'd com...
2020-11-18 02:53:40 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks! Just thought I'd update you all on my progress.
The video that won the $10 patron poll, Anti-Vax: A Measured Response, is coming along! I tried to keep it under 40 minutes but it continuously threatened to balloon in size...and then a journalist who covered the anti-vaccine scare...

Hey pals,
I've spent the past couple of weeks monitoring the reactions to the RWBY video, doing research and writing for various videos (including the dreaded prequel project), and editing together this piece of the RWBY analysis, which I had cut out in the editing process.

Hey it's really up! For everyone! Go watch it!
Thanks for sticking with me through this nightmare. There were some delays because of dealing with copyright, and also some animation needed rewriting and copious reworking, and there was quite a lot of re-editing based on your feedback. Thanks...

EDIT 19/07/2020: - I've made quite a few changes to this video, including completely rewriting a few parts and adding some more stuff. I really appreciate the feedback I've been given so far, to the point I'm annoyed people are still going to be seeing this version for a while until the new one g...

Hey folks!
Thanks for being so patient. 'A few days' turned into a few more days because it turns out that Rooster Teeth, despite being a company founded entirely on appropriating Halo video game footage, are incredibly precious about anyone appropriating their material, in any...
2020-07-10 02:56:07 +0000 UTC View PostHowdy friends.
The RWBY video is nearly done. I'm looking to have it out for patrons in just a couple more days. I'm really happy with it, I've managed to cut and pace it from almost three hours to around two and a quarter. The fun thing about making long videos is every point and joke has ...
2020-06-30 22:49:59 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks,
Just a quick update, thanks for being patient about how long the RWBY video is taking. Trying to properly pace my points while still making the video entertaining to watch (especially for non-viewers of the show) is turning out to be harder than I thought. The video script really...

Happy May, everyone. Society's still shut down here, but at least that gives me time to focus on the RWBY video, and also, the, uh....star wars videos. OH NO

2020-02-23 19:12:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks!
So I decided very last-minute to do a video on the War on Christmas. I basically made notes while doing my annual 'watch weirdos complain about Christmas and laugh' a-thon to amuse myself, and then realised I'd written most of a video script by accident. 2019-12-24 14:56:17 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey folks!
A day or so ago the first poll for $10 patrons finished, so the next video is going to be about why RWBY is garbage. I'm looking for that to come out in Mid-January. I'm gonna try to get some other small things out before then though, like stuff from the Pathologic video, I...

Here's the final credits reading + scroll of names! It's almost 11 minutes, which i think demonstrates why I can't do these at the end of videos any more lol

Hey folks!
So this video is two hours long and about a pretty niche game, so I welcome any feedback you have on it. I'm really happy with how it turned out but as always I wonder if maybe I should redo all the music or all the volume controls and I'll probably do some minor tinkering for th...

As I've mentioned previously, I have decided to change one of my backer rewards. I'm never going to stop being grateful for every single one of you, but the (current) reward for $10 patrons, where I read out your names in the credits, threatens to really add a long tail to videos...
