Update #40 - Metal Arms was Surprisingly Hard

Afternoon!

I've beaten Metal Arms Glitch in the System and I've started on getting the video files all cleaned up and named and begun the editing process. This was one that a lot of you had been recommending me over the years as a fairly forgotten console shooter, and now t...

Update #39 - Finally a Proper Post Again

Afternoon everyone!

I can't tell you how nice it feels to be able to write one of these from my desktop and not the laggy Patreon mobile app. It's hard to believe it's been near two months since I did this last.

Anyways, I'll start with some of the Pathologic post-vid...

Back at it

Brief post to let everyone know that my ears are doing better and I've created a Torture Throne™ that allows me to edit. I'm back to work on the video and it should be done soon!

Update #38 - What’s Going On

Good evening!


Sorry for format and errors. Posting from phone and it types slow without marking errors.

I’m not dead yet. The amount of people who were reaching out to me to give their well wishes have been overwhelming and incredibly hum...

Update #37 Pathologic 2 Copy Contest

Evening!

Sorry for the rough formatting this has as I’m posting it from my phone. Long story short I got my spine injured so I’m stuck in bed for a few days. This means the video is going to be a few days behind since it’s not finished, but since I’m going to be pausing the Patreon ...

Update #36 - Editing and Next Video Questions

Afternoon!

I've finally completed my second run of Pathologic 2, and now editing is in full swing. Luckily the patch adding difficulty sliders and some bugfixes came much earlier than expected, so I won't be having to wait on anything before uploading the video. When the vi...

Update #35 - Future Patreon Restructuring, Discord, and Pathologic 2

Afternoon everyone!

I'll get the bigger news out of the way first. The Discord server is shutting down, and the Patreon will be paused come July. The two are not related, but are convenient.

So let's get into the details!

To give the short version of View Post

Update #34 - Pathologic 2

This will be a brief one!

Alpha Centauri video is out, though it was a day behind the upload I wanted due to technical difficulties on YouTube's end, and I'm currently recording for Pathologic 2. The game has a patch coming out in two-three weeks that fixes up some bugs and...

Update #33 - Next Video Questions, the Next Small Game, and More LOTR stuff

All is going to plan.

I'm currently recording the Alpha Centauri expansion Alien Crossfire, and have begun some light editing work on the video itself. While I've usually tried to have videos up on a Friday/Saturday, sometimes holding it off until then, I'm going to try an ...

Update #32 - On To Sci-Fi

Evening everybody.

The Return of the King video finally got out last week. When people asked me what the hardest video to work on was, the answer used to be Aurora 4x, now it's going to be the Lord of the Rings The Return of the King. I went through several version...

Update #31 - AHHHHH (what's going on)

Everything is off schedule!

My worst fears realized, the original video dispute is still in dispute process being hit with the dreaded "blocked worldwide". I then made a recut of it shifting some things around, muting tracks here and there, using different clips, also no di...

Update #30 - Next Video Questions & Progress

Everything is on schedule!

I've completed recording for Return of the King after playing through both the endgame PC content, and also giving the Xbox version a go as well. After going through a bit of a nightmare trying to get the PC version to detect triggers (using sever...

Update #29 - The Medieval Game with Co-op

Space Rangers is done!

I'm back to recording both for Elite Dangerous and the next game, though there will definitely still be a few videos until Elite is out. I ran a poll on both Twitter and Patreon to decide what the shorter video would be, and figured I'd weigh both aga...

Poll for Next Video

Space Rangers will be out this week as planned!

In the meanwhile, I had jury duty which I hoped would be a one day affair but unfortunately it's going to take up more of my time in the next while than I thought. While I'll still be recording for Elite, I'm not going to be a...

Update #28 - Space Rangers and Next Video Questions

With the project juggling over, I'm back on track! 

Congratulations to to Alice Cahill, Bodacious Bird, and Nataniel Koulikov for winning the giveaway!

This is going to be one of the shorter posts. I'm actually nearly done recording Space Rangers so I'm taking qu...

Update #27 - Metro Last Light DLC and Ongoing Projects

Afternoon!

The Overlord video will be out this coming week like I suspected. As I mentioned in the last post I've stopped doing stuff with Elite for now since I'm trying to get that one out as soon as possible. However, there are still some long term things going on that I ...

Update #26 - Next Video Questions for Overlord

This will be a short one.

The Metro video is done! On my end anyways since it was a ten minute segment out of a video I believe is around an hour long. There will be a lot more to talk about with that project when the guy making the full video on it is made public this week...

Update # 25 - Overlord & Metro

The guide video went over well! 

A lot more people ended up watching it than I expected. I figured it would have less than half the viewership it does now at this point. I did end up scrapping a lot of "you've made it on YouTube" stuff since that audience is both very ...

Update #24 - Current Projects, Next Video Questions, and more YouTube Issues

There's a lot more to talk about this time contrary to last week. 

The guide video is coming along nicely. I've organized it into sections so that I'll be able to have a nice list of timestamps for people looking for relevant data. For example, if people have a YouTube...

Poll on Next Review Video

This will be the shortest post yet, since there's really not a lot to report. I expect the "making a video" guide will be out anywhere from 8-12 days from this post, as I believe it'll be done before the usual Friday upload. In the meanwhile, I'm taking feedback on what people want to see as the ...

Update #23 - YouTube Issues and Working Ahead

The Stronghold video was a god damn TRIAL to upload.

It turns out there's currently a bug on YouTube where some videos are stuck at 360p forever. I had the first copy of the video uploaded and processing very early Friday morning, and when I went to check at about 3pm I rea...

Update #22 - Stronghold HD and Next Video Questions

So my break didn't last as long as I thought.

 This post was scheduled in advance as I'm out of my place for a short while and I'm currently slightly sick, but I'm hoping that by the time I get back I'll have a voice clear enough to finish the audio and the video by th...

2018 Year in Review and Plans Going Forward

Long post warning. 

TL;DR A lot happened this year, and I've got a framework for videos going forward at the bottom.

Afternoon everybody, and congratulations to Pagan Butler, whose RNG was in his favor for the giveaway last week.

Update #18 - Cultist Simulator, Pathologic, and New Year Schedule

Evening!

This will be one of the longer posts. After dying in several playthroughs, this week I finally managed to figure out Cultist Simulator to the point I know how to win a few cult victories. I also grabbed the DLC and beat that story line as well. I can safely say that it's ...

Update #16 - Some Cut Cthulhu Stuff and Blood Omen Status

Afternoon!

I saw a lot of comments in the CoC video mentioning Jack Walters' detective work in the game. Apparently a lot of people were expecting the video to open with "it's locked" or "it won't budge", since he's internally monologuing for just about every little thing. During ...
