Update time!
So things have been a little quite around here, hasn't it? Well after I completed my blind playthrough of DK Bananza, I decided to catch up on my little side hobby involving music editing. One of my little passion projects within this hobby as of late was to gather up as much music from the Donkey Kong series, along with the modern Mario Kart titles as I would feel satisfied for my collection. I... ended up getting a little carried away with the scope of what I wanted to get for the time being.
Well now I finally feel ready to get back to video production! Though I'm going to pivot a little from my old plans. Speaking of Mario Kart, I'm going to first do a little playthrough of some stuff in Mario Kart World and its free roam collectables. Then since it'll likely be out by then, I'm going to tackle Kirby and the Forgotten Land's Switch 2 additions. You'll find that in the playlist of my old playthrough when they get made and uploaded. Afterwards will be my DK Bananza playthrough.
Apologies again for the slow burn recently, so time make up for lost ground!
Until next post!

Small update:
I'm currently on the last few days of my vacation. Once I get back, I'm going to wrap up the remaining Mario Party videos that were left lingering after the Switch 2 launch party. By that time, Donkey Kong Bananza should be close to releasing. That will be my next playthrough. I will later update on my plans after that.
Until next post.

Plans for the immediate future.
So we are now less than two weeks from both the Switch 2's launch and Mario Kart World's release. As a note about the new system's power: Although it can run a 4K resolution or something high up and 120fps, I'm not sure my aging computer can handle trying to record at those stats. So I'm going to stay at my current standard of 1080p, 60fps for the time being.
Though we don't have much longer to wait for the system, I'm not sitting on my thumbs in regards to channel content. I'm "cooking" up some standalone videos that will be going out soon. Most of them will be from a certain spinoff series.
Until next post

Update time.
The month of April has been a pretty busy one for me as I declared it to be the month where things get done. Mainly finishing up on a few personal goals I wanted to take care of in games like Splatoon 3, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the recent F-Zero 99 update, and one other game I won't mention at the moment. While I could have waited to do them later, I'd rather have dealt with them now for closure and make it so I can move on to other business with no further distractions.
One such business is finally completing my Sonic Frontiers playthrough for my channel. To be honest, it should NOT have taken me so long to get this playthrough done, but I'm now in the final stages of development and it WILL go up very soon. From there, I'll decide on what my next playthrough shall be, so stay tuned for that (if you're really interested in keeping up with my work specifically).
One other big thing to have taken care of in this month was securing my pre-order for a Switch 2. I did say things along the lines of not wanting to dedicate too much time and effort on Switch 2 games unless they really caught my eye. Well I am a big Donkey Kong fan, so that speaks for itself regarding DK Bananza in July. As for Mario Kart World, I suppose I'll do an online series for it. I don't know if it'll be as big of one as 8 Deluxe turned out to be, but we'll see.
Until next post!

Small update time.
I mentioned that Sonic Frontiers will be my next playthrough some time ago. Progress on it has reached a great point, but getting there proved to be unusually troublesome. At one point, my save data got corrupted (ironic if you know the game) and I had to spend time beating the whole game again for a crucial ability I use throughout the recorded playthrough.
As for when I'll have it finished. I plan on this month or the next, but I do have something small I can upload for my 15th anniversary of my channel on March 11th. It won't be the one I had in mind for the celebration, but production on that had to be pushed back to focus on Frontiers. I'll be on vacation for a week, but I hope to get close to uploading the playthrough afterwards.
After I do Frontiers, I'm definitely doing a smaller game on my bucket list to make up for a slow start to the year.
Until next post!

Just a small notice. Splatoon 3 will be rerunning the chocolate splatfest from 2 years ago. As it is a fest theme I've already covered, I'm not doing an extra online set video on it. Only the seasonal reruns with new themes will be covered.

After doing some renovations on my channel and my old videos. I decided to put some of my old stuff, previously deemed failures, into a playlist for anyone brave enough who want to look at them out of curiosity.

Update time!
Hope your holidays have been going splendidly for you all.
Now that production of my Sonic x Shadow Generations playthrough is complete, what are my plans for 2025? Before I get into that, I want to address my potential retirement I considered during 2024. I still feel as if I'm in my twilight years and now I've been putting together a list of projects I would like to consider making before my time is up on my channel. They mostly consist of playthroughs on games I haven't gotten to yet, but REALLY want to. Along with that, maybe an ambitious single video or two. Also I'm making an oath to not make any videos on Switch 2 games unless one on it really, REALLY catches my eye.
As for what's first on my list, two things. First up regards Donkey Kong Country Returns HD in January. Since that version will contain levels previously exclusive to the 3DS release, I'll be doing an extra part on those levels for my DKCR Puzzle Piece Playthrough to make it fully complete. Second is my next playthrough project. I mentioned this in a previous post, but I plan on doing Sonic Frontiers or Sonic 3 & Knuckles if the former needs some reconsideration on the scope of my playthrough. From there I'll be working down my list throughout 2025 and then see how I feel about doing anything else for my channel.
One last thing to mention. I will be holding onto my Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online series until the very end. Though if the upcoming Sonic Racing CrossWorlds game turns out good enough (at least better than Team Sonic Racing), I may do a small online series for that.
That should be all I have for now. Until next post and Merry Christmas!

Not really an update post, just a remainder of a poor and flawed system on Youtube.
As you may or may not have seen, I have begun publishing my Sonic x Shadow Generations playthrough. As of the time of writing, the first two parts have gotten copyright claimed by obscure music companies who don't own the rights to whatever music they're claiming (they have a history for claiming variations of Green Hill Zone music). Just to to be clear, when these claims are made, the videos should still be available to watch like nothing happened on your end. All this does is direct any potential revenue I could get from said videos to those claimers.
In the near 15 years this channel has been up, I have never made attempts to monetize my thousands of videos, and my claim record at this point is less than 15 videos. For a long time, I've mostly ignored these as long as people could still actually watch my stuff if desired and no harm done. These recent claims rubbed me the wrong way however.
As for what may happen, two things. First is the company ignores my dispute and let's it expire, removing the claim. That, or they reject it at the last second and I may redo one of the parts of the playthrough and reupload it.
I find it stupid that these malicious companies would do this kind of crap to wring every little penny from channels of all sizes, and that Youtube's copyright systems don't do enough to prevent these claims from running rampant. Then again, we live in a world were money and greed are at the forefront of the minds of people with much power.
Anyways, sorry if this post was an unexpected downer moment. I just needed to get this off my chest. I'll be back with an actual update once the whole Generations playthrough as is now goes public.
Have a happy holidays, but also be careful out there with any troubles in your daily lives.

Notice: My original trajectory for my Yooka-Laylee & the Impossible Lair playthrough release ended up being slightly off. However, I've made enough progress on it to confidently say that the playthrough will go public the next week for sure.

So you've found me, huh? Well good for you then. I do videos on games. Mostly Nintendo ones like Mario and all that. There's nifty playthroughs, special things I post, some dated humorous videos, and many online matches of games like Mario Kart. Hope you enjoy what you find and see, because compared to bigger channels, I'm an invisible man! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go relax for a while. So don't disturb me! ...You still here?
