If you didn't see it yet, the finished Cameron 4k video is now public. YouTube's default SDR tonemapping made the image dark so I used a custom LUT that kept the brightness identical to blu-ray, but this led to some glitches and artifacts in the SDR version (mostly on screens showing news article...

I decided that if I was going to do this video that I needed to do it in HDR, which complicates YouTube uploads in a lot of ways. Specific metadata had to be injected to the file for YT to display the HDR correctly, and then a look-up table had to be attached for YT to correctly tonemap the SDR v...

Sorry for the lack of an upload last month, but I couldn't share this video until the recomp was ready for release. Obviously, as you can tell by the video, I'm really happy about this development, but I don't expect you to take my word for it; you can try the Majora's Mask port yourself today. 2024-05-10 23:11:55 +0000 UTC View Post
This mod was a surprise to me and I wanted to cover it very quickly while I was still waiting for Jimbo Jams Cameron's AI-enhanced discs to arrive in the mail. The mod is a great time, even when it's busted, so check it out if you're into great times.
Along with the Cameron 4k rev...

I'm still working out some details but the unlisted video is available to watch now- clicking this or ordering the full movie from Breen may put you on some kind of NSA watchlist.
I decided to do the video on James Cameron's AI upscaled 4k releases and have already gotten that one ro...

Long thought to be a myth, the fabled Robocop video is here. I died while making it and had to be put into a mechanical body, which I guess could be considered ironic but I didn't really think so at the time.

I'm offering them in FLAC this time, but if the size is too large there's an AAC option as well.

I didn't think I had any particularly special insights into Mario to offer so this video is just for fun only- this is serious. If you watch it wrong and get hurt it's your own damn fault.

The video isn't quite public yet but you can go ahead and watch now. This ended up being much more massive than I expected and, as I said in the last post, it'll take at least one more video to wrap up the games I wanted to talk about. It doesn't necessarily have to wait until next Ha...

If you find 18 minutes to break away from Zelda, here's an early release of the next Metroid review bundle. I apologize for not making the fourth game in, but the video was long enough that I decided to wrap it up with 3. That was definitely the right call, seeing as the upload barely...

This was finished way too late to upload today so I'm once again sharing it with you early. As you'll be able to see from the clips in the finale, this time I had too many Metroids to fit into one video so Arum's Afterlife Adventure, Cathedral, and Rain World will likely show up in the next...
