It has been a rough month, I spent a week of it in the hospital, and have spent virtually all the rest of it in bed with some malady or another. Though I'm not back up to 100% yet, I have been feeling well enough to ease back into my process, and have been making solid progress on the Traverse To...

When faced with the question, "Who could possibly compete with Mario's popularity?" A few Squaresoft developers decided it could only be Disney. From one tropical island from another, I am extremely excited to introduce my next Game Break Down project: Kingdom Hearts!
2024-07-20 16:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s been a very busy week, getting everything ready for a new round of Game Break Down, but I feel it’s been very much worth it. The first episode of GBD 3 is all set to launch, and will be live tomorrow! I don’t know what to expect in terms of this series’ upload schedule, I hope I’ll...
2024-07-20 05:32:50 +0000 UTC View PostHere it is, all 10 episodes of Breaking Down Mario Sunshine in one delicious 7 hour package.
Obviously I'm not gonna public this on Youtube until after the Finale goes up, but I see no reason not to share it with you guys right now. Enjoy!
I hope it's been a relaxing vacation for you all. It's been a long and trying journey for me, but just as fun as any vacation, all the same.
2024-06-29 16:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostSometimes I just gotta share when I do something cool. This will make it into the Corona Mountain video in some form, so consider this a sneak peak. That video's coming along well, this particular challenge was the biggest hurdle to its production, so it should be smooth sailing from here.

With the Pianta Village on Youtube, I predictably got a few comments about things I missed in Pianta Village. Some of them were too juicy not to include in this video, so I've gone back and added a few things. I also took the opportunity to make some minor fixes to the sound balance and a few edi...

I did it! I passed an hour! :)
2024-06-08 16:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostThe Delfino Plaza Video is fully recorded and voiced, I am a few days further behind schedule than I’d like, but hopefully I’ll still be able to meet that four week turnaround. Though if any video would need to take an extra week, it would be this one. However, starting next month I should be...

A little video to celebrate a major milestone. It's essentially a compilation of many of my favorite clips from the last 2 years of videos. I hope I can give you a few extra laughs.

These episodes are inching ever closer towards that 1 hour mark... I don’t know how they keep getting bigger, Noki Bay was supposed to be the longest episode, and yet this one just kept growing. I hope you enjoy, I personally think this is some of my best work!
2024-05-11 16:00:26 +0000 UTC View PostThe Pianta Village episode is shaping up to be the biggest video yet, having both my longest script so far, and over 250 gigabytes of raw footage going into it.
You may or may not have noticed, but so far, I’ve made 2 versions of every video, one for Patreon, one for Youtube. ...
2024-04-27 16:37:07 +0000 UTC View PostEpisodes 0-8 of Sly 2 GBD in one 6-hour package. I may make this a full youtube upload some day, but for now, it's just for you guys!

This video was a MONSTER to put together, I was quite literally still learning more about this area as the video was uploading. The more I dug, the more I found, and I hope you enjoy the deepest dive yet!
2024-04-13 16:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostProgress on the Noki Bay episode is steady, but slow. I thought Sirena Beach was going to be the most complicated episode with the most to discuss, but Noki Bay may be proving otherwise. I’m not even close to finished scripting the episode yet, I’m aiming to have it up on Patreon by the 13th ...
2024-03-30 01:36:42 +0000 UTC View PostYou guys seemed pretty positive when I fielded the idea a little while back, so now it's here, my official Discord Server. It's pretty bare-bones for now, but I figure I can think about making it into something more robust as more people actually join. So come on in! First person to join from eac...

You guys get this one a week early this month! A big reason I was able to work on it faster than usual is thanks to all the new Patrons. I'll never say it enough, thank you all SO much!
2024-03-16 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostJust a sneak peak at the next episode. I like to try and teach myself one new editing skill each episode, and today I learned how to match a clip or image's perspective to another!
2024-03-12 02:37:35 +0000 UTC View PostThis is going to be a big month, if I can dial in and get everything done that needs to. The Serena Beach episode is written, and recorded, and it has come out to be by far my longest script yet, at over 10,000 words. Fitting for my favorite episode (Previous record was just over 8800, for Bianco...

The process of deciding on how I wanted Sunshine's thumbnails to look involved a lot of trial and error. After Sly 2, I decided I wanted the logo of the game in the image, but that takes up a lot of screen real estate. Shrinking my logo should have been a more obvious solution out of the gates, b...
2024-03-03 01:19:22 +0000 UTC View PostI wanna read the room on this. How many of you would be interested in joining a community Discord Server? I hear all the cool kids are doing it. Like this post if you would for sure join something like that.

Hello one and all newcomers! My number of Patrons has practically doubled since I fixed the link on my YouTube videos, which is, of course, extremely exciting. I hope you all enjoy!
2024-02-24 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post
Thank you again for your patience! The next video will mark the halfway point for this series, which is a little hard to believe, it feels like we're very much still at the beginning of the game, but then again, Sunshine is paced a little weird.
2024-01-27 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostI've just finished work on the next episode of SMS, and I must say, I'm surprised at how much more work goes into these than did Sly 2. As much as it pains me, It would seem I'm settling into a once every 4 weeks schedule for these, rather than 3 as I had hoped, but I hope the extra effort contin...
2024-01-23 23:34:35 +0000 UTC View Post
Sorry this one took an extra week. I'd love to blame it on the holidays, but the reality is, these are just a lot more work than Sly was. I hope the extra effort shines through, and that you all enjoy!

Secret Levels, Alternative Nozzles, Blue Coins, and so much more to establish the basics of in one episode. This could have been twice as long but there are many things I want to spread out among all the levels.

Game Break Down 2 is OFFICIALLY LIVE! Super Mario Sunshine is a deeply important game to me, and was the very first game I ever saw Let's Played, so I've dreamed of doing it justice for ages. Let's see how I do, shall we?
2023-12-02 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostI am incredibly pleased to inform you all that the next Game Break Down is on track to launch tomorrow! I would have said so sooner, but honestly this one came down to the wire. I have been working practically non-stop to get this one ready, and I think you'll find every second is on display. But...

A new series of Game Break Down is officially underway! As always, an ENORMOUS thanks to all of you here on Patreon for your support during Sly 2.
In a bit of behind-the-scenes news, I am now the proud owner of an HDMI capture card. A Razer Ripshaw HD if you're curious, which means going ...
Ever wondered how Game Break Down came to be? The software I use, or how an episode comes together? This one goes out as a special thanks to all you reading this. You're the best piece of this puzzle.
