Well, my Helldivers 2 guide has just surpassed my Phoenix Point review as my most viewed video. That was unexpected! I also have had a large surge in subscribers since I posted it, so hello!
I will be making more videos about Helldivers 2, including a review. But I also review other games and board games as well so just keep that in mind!
Anyway, thank you all so much for watching my guide. Guides are my favorite thing to make, but the most time-consuming so seeing that effort pay off is really nice!

I really gotta remember that this community tab exists...
Just an update on things I'm working on. I have three board game review projects in the works. Sea of Thieves, Drop Drive Deep Space Edition, and Dungeon Draft.
I also want to get a review of Helldivers 2 out, I'm pretty sure that I've already found my game of the year and it's only February, server issues aside, the game is phenomenal.
I also have to try and clear some space in my schedule to review the new Age of Wonders 4 expansion, Primal Fury, which comes out later this month, and Dragons Dogma 2 next month.
Additionally, I'm also working on improving Gideonsgaming.com and cleaning up it's categorization. Same story for my Patreon, it's a mess and it needs to be redone as there is no real reason for anyone to subscribe to it.

I have a herniated disc that is pushing on a nerve in my spine, it flares up sometimes.
This week has been a bad flare-up that's made it difficult to sit in my computer chair. Combine that with the holidays and I'm a bit behind. More videos are coming though.

I got covid. Video uploads will cease until I heal, my voice is messed up, so I can't really record them. If I feel up to it, I will still attempt to put up written versions on my website, bit i will taket it day by day. Stay safe out there, it's not over.

The channel just hit 1000 subscribers. I wanted to do some type of celebratory video, but I've got many reviews on my plate I couldn't find the time. In any case, thanks a ton for following along with me and watching my videos. I seriously appreciate it, 1000 is a huge number.

Working on a board game video that isn't a review and it's definitely showcased some weak points in the cheap equipment I use and my own skills. At the moment, I have around 20 minutes of talking head footage and I really don't want the video to be 20 minutes of talking head. But holy crap is it difficult to try and make anything to go with it when I'm not speaking about a specific game to use video and images with. Part of me wants to scrap the whole thing.
I need a taco and a nap.

Back from a week-long vacation, and got some stuff in the works, but I want to pose a question. I stopped by a massive board game store and wrote down a bunch of stuff that looked cool. We sat down to watch some YouTube videos to see what they were about but rarely if ever actually found a video showing what a game was that wasn't an hour-long review or how to play. 3-minute board games was really the only brief ones. (Brilliant creator btw).
I already kind of pride myself on making deep reviews that are 20 minutes or under (usually) but is there any interest in a series that's basically "What the heck is this game?" Probably around 5 or 6 minutes of video to learn what a game is about. Not a review or how to play, more like an overview I guess.
Let me know!

Had a rough week, and didn't end up making it to Gen Con. I should have my review of Sp//dr and Spider-Ham out this week, for real this time!

You just found the best place on YouTube for okayish quality content and reviews of board games and video games! Everyone has a schtick, and I like to joke that my schtick, is that I don't have a schtick. There's no persona, it's just me. I mean, I barely pass as a writer, and I pronounce wash like warsh. Do you really think I can act too? Pffftt
I'm transparent about my biases and tastes, and I strive to provide informative and deep reviews that aren't an hour long. By the end of the video, I want you to have all the information you need to compare your own tastes and biases against mine alongside the information I've provided to form a conclusion about whether or not a game is a good fit for you.
I won't ask you to subscribe at the start of a video either!
