Channel Update #47 (Jun)

Hey, this update is a little late and will be a little short.

I’m currently deep in the next video, which will be the romance in games video I’ve mentioned before. It’s turned out to be quite a big project - lots of research, lots of game playing, and a long video (3 hour...

Channel Update #46 (May)

Hello,

The Baldur’s Gate video is deep in production and should be finished in about a week. It’s actually been rather time consuming just because of the amount of game playing involved. I’ve done two playthroughs of BG3, plus one of 1 and 2, which adds up (to about 350 h...

Channel Update #45 (Apr)

I’ll keep this update short.

There is a new video out. It’s not Baldur’s Gate. It might not be what a lot of people want. It is very political. And I’m sorry to anyone who doesn’t want this video. But I felt like I had to do this.

I’m not too sure what else to say r...

Channel Update #44 (Mar)

This is a positive if unexciting update.

The history of rpgs video took a little longer than expected, mostly because it’s the type of video that’s time consuming to write and edit. As for the end result… it’s okay. I don’t actually think this is one of my best videos...

Channel Update #43 – the big one

Hello,

I hope everyone’s year is off to a good start. This is an update about future videos and my plans for 2024, but as always when I make an update like this, keep in mind that plans do change.

Before that though I will say that the last video has produced an… interesting range...

Channel Update #42?

This is a short but important update.

A new video should be going up tomorrow that is about a more serious topic than usual. It focuses on a gaming industry related issue and is quite critical of two specific youtubers. Anyway the video should speak for itself, so I won’t talk about it fu...

Channel Update #41 (Dec)

Season’s greetings everyone, I hope you’re all well.

This is just a short update to say that a longer update is coming soon where I’ll do a full year review of NeverKnowsBest in 2023.

There is a new video though. It took far longer than I expected or wanted but I’m ...

Channel Update #40 (Nov)

Hello,

I have returned from the land of the rising sun but I have not brought a new video with me. Anyway, the trip was good but it’s the new video part I am going to talk about today. As of writing this I am in video limbo so to speak, so I thought this might be a good time to give an up...

Channel Update #39 (Sep/Oct)

Another month, another video… which is something I haven’t been able to say for a while. Don’t get used to it though as I’m about to go to Japan for a little over 2 weeks, in what is the first real holiday I’ll have been on since starting this youtube channel. So that should be nice, an...

Channel Update #38 (Aug)

Hi,

The Final Fantasy video is done. It’s uploading as I write this but it will be live by the time this post is up and… yeah, it sure took a long time. Sorry if anyone was waiting and expecting it to be finished sooner. I was expecting it to be finished sooner. I don’t really know ho...

Channel Update #37 (July)

Hello, the next video is a full series retrospective on Final Fantasy. I wasn’t going to announce it before finishing it, but it’s taking longer than I thought and I don’t want to let the month end with no new video without saying what I’m actually working on.

Anyway I kn...

Exploring the weird world of Adult Video Games

The deleted video.
I'm not too sure what the video quality is like on Patreon but at least it's an option. This is set to public as well, so can be shared with non patrons.

Channel Update #36 (June)

Hi,

This might be a bit of a long update but I’ll break things up.

1. The situation on youtube (this is copy and pasted from the youtube community post I’ve just made):

The second channel lives again - 2023-06-21 17:39:20 +0000 UTC View Post

Channel Update #35 (May)

Hello monthly update time i.e. new video and bad news time. I’ll break things into different topics.

1. The second channel was deleted out of the blue (there’s a little more info in a recent youtube community post if you want to check). I’m still not sure why this happened....

Channel Update #34 (Apr)

Hello,

Just a quick update I guess. There’s a new video on the main channel, which is the first of four videos on gaming history and will be about 6 hours long in total. This is a topic I’ve thought about covering for a while and it seemed a good time. I particularly wanted to connect t...

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous Review

I'm working on something but in the mean time I finished Wrath of the Righteous recently (I didn't finish it at release as it's long and I got distracted making videos) and thought I'd make a quick video review. It's unlisted so think of it as patreon exclusive content or something (although I mi...

Should I upload the politics video to the main channel?

I haven't been able to get the age restriction lifted on the latest video. As far as I know it still hasn't had a manual review but I'm not getting anywhere with support. I did try uploading it to the main channel as unlisted though, just to check, and its had no issues. So I'm debating whether t...

Channel Update #33 (Feb) – a video a long time coming

There’s a new second channel video and I have so much I could say that don’t really know where to start. I guess I’ll try to be methodical.

The video is about politics and the internet… and a little history and philosophy too. When I decided to take a break from the main ...

Channel Update #32 (Jan?) – New Year and new video

Hello,

I hope everyone’s doing well and had an enjoyable holiday. 

There is a new video on the second channel (linked above?). I chose the topic because it felt like a good continuation from the last video and I thought I’d be able to make something quickly, but th...

Channel Update #30 and #31 and maybe more

I've made a lengthy update hopefully explaining anything that needs to be explained. 

This started as a normal update but then I expanded it and recorded it etc. as I thought better to try to explain everything and make something which can be shared more broadly.

Next video will ...

New video

Hello,

I made a video. It's about AI and it is a little weird. See what you think.

Anyway I'm thinking I will leave it on the second channel and make a community post and maybe a mention at the end of a normal video to promote it.

This was made on a whim af...

Channel Update #29 (Aug) – next two videos and not so beyond

Hi, sorry the update is a little late.

Since the Elden Ring video I made some good progress on Gothic, and then switched to working on a Total War Warhammer video. These are the next two planned videos. The Total War video was meant to be more a video for me (as opposed to my boss, the yout...

Channel Update #28 (July) – elden thing

Arise ye tarnished,

Since finishing the last video I have done a second playthrough of Elden Ring and I’m now onto writing the script. The finished video should go live on Aug 10th although I’m hoping to finish it a little before then to give myself a bit of extra time for the next vide...

Channel Update #27 (Jun) – souls, rings, and second channels

Good evening all,

Since the completion of the last video (here if you missed it https://youtu.be/Rx-Cfh3C8NQ) I have been doing nothing but playing Elden Ring, and through the 120 hours I have spent with that ga...

Channel Update #26 (May) – New Video

There is a new video. You can view it here – https://youtu.be/Rx-Cfh3C8NQ

It’s on a different channel because it’s not video game related and it’s likely that uploading it to my main channel will just hurt future v...

Channel Update #25 (Apr) – future unplans

Hello, it’s me, the ungrateful person you support who complains at you once a month. How’s it going?

I’ve been promising a detailed update on future plans for a while now (since December?) so I guess that’s what I’ll do here. Unfortunately, it does feel like a bad time ...

Channel Update #24 (Mar) – An update

I don’t usually talk much about my life outside youtube but in the last month I have:

- moved home (I haven’t actually fully moved yet, that will be next weekend, but it feels like I have and I’ve had lots of things to take care of).

- left my job (I have mentioned this before, ...

Channel Update #23 (Feb)

Hello everyone,

A quick update to say I am still working on a video and I’m hoping it will be finished soon. I doubt it will be live within a week but hopefully within 2 at least. I did also take two weeks off after the last video back in January, after what had been a very work intensive...

Channel Update #22 (Jan) – A review of NeverKnowsBest in 2021

Hello, happy New Year, and welcome to the 2nd yearly review of how things are going and other stuff like that.

To start with I have some statistics ready for anyone interested in pure numbers, with a comparison to 2020 as well. 2022-01-09 23:54:10 +0000 UTC View Post

Channel Update #21 (Dec)

Just a quick update to say new video soon (within a week). As said previously, it's on Final Fantasy 14 and I'll do a big update shortly after it's up but for now I'm just going to focus on finishing it.
