The people have spoken.

All of my multistream VODs are gonna live unlisted in this playlist for anyone who wants them. Real life got a bit busy, so it might be another week or 2 until a new video but things are all looking up, and once my internet is back streams (Twitch & YT) should be back in full force next week.

And just on the off chance someone sees this who hasn't seen it yet, go check out the MW2 (2009) video essay I did, I really though it was a banger but its not doing so hot #s wise :/ Happens to the best of us. Talk soon!

Hey all! Progress has been going well on the KH2 video (and a few others), and the start of multistreaming to Youtube has been great, but I have a question for the people watching streams. I don't really want YT pushing my stream vods like normal videos, but would you want them to sit in a public playlist with the videos unlisted so you could sift through them if you wanted? Or just leave them off entirely as I have been doing? Let me know, and I really appreciate everyone thats been popping in on the streams (even if tonights died early bc of my internet lol)

Hey all, update time.

So I’ve managed to get everything set up and working and last night we tried our first Twitch/Youtube multistream, so for the next few weeks keep an eye out for streams on here! I hate asking people to switch platforms, so mirroring the streams I usually do already on Twitch to Youtube just makes sense. I have no idea if its going to be at all successful, but one can hope, so I’d love to see some of ya’ll in chat

Second, and more importantly, I am going to start chipping away at the KH2 video’s writing and editing this next week. If the first video was anything to learn from its going to be a *long* process, but I’m excited to get going on it. Also if you haven’t already go check out the MW2 2009 retrospective I did! Its getting pretty bad impressions so I imagine a lot of my subscribers don’t even know I made it lol

Thanks for your patience, its good to be back and we’ll talk soon

Guess who remembered his Youtube password! (kidding)

Things have finally calmed down enough for me to work on some personal projects, though, and I'm excited for you to see whats coming up next. For now, I edited this! You should watch it! More from me soon, thank you all for your patience.

Hey all, remember when I said I'd have a video out last week? Haha, me neither.

Actual explanation, I hit a good bit of writer's block combined with my day job keeping me busy and I started editing for someone new (this projects a lot of fun). I'm a firm believer that if I have nothing to say its better to not sh*t out a video that says nothing and just keep working on new stuff. Also, these storms hitting the east coast US keep knocking my power and internet out... its obnoxious. For anyone dealing with Storm Debra this week, stay safe.

I can say that I have gotten over the writers block and I'm back to work on some personal projects so you'll see me real soon, the list of videos I have to work on is ever growing but I'm going to pick a few to do start to finish and then set out on the KH2 essay

Until the day arrives that Youtube and content creation income somehow eclipses what I make from my day job, this remains a hobby I'm very passionate about, but a hobby nonetheless, and real life always takes priority. Also, bills. Gotta pay those bills. Anyways, just wanted to make sure to keep everyone updated.

Appreciate you all, talk soon.

Hey ya'll, small update.

I had a project that was about 95% done but felt irrelevant to what I normally post and frankly a little irresponsible to post as well so I made the decision to just can the entire thing. I have another script that is nearly complete and should be edited and out the door sometime in the next week, and I will be starting to really work my way through all of KH2 so that the scripting and editing process on that behemoth of a video can fully get underway.

If you would like to, please feel free to drop by and say hi over on Twitch, I am aware that there are times where it can be a few weeks without a post or video from me on here (not for lack of effort lol) but I am live on there at least a few times a week and will be streaming all of the footage capture for KH2. Thanks for all of your patience and continued support, I'm *still* getting encouraging comments on the KH1 video and that feels very rewarding. Talk soon.

I don't really have anything to add to the conversation beyond "holy sh*t this game is good go play it" so I wont be making a video about it, but I feel morally obligated to tell everyone to go play Anger Foot. Easily one of the best games of the year so far. Stylish, absurd and gameplay that'll kick your teeth in. Fair warning, its uh... its got a lot of toes lol

I know we had a lot of new subs from the Kingdom Hearts Retrospective and so I wanted to make a quick post to let you guys know that tonight at 6pm EST (3 hours from when this post goes out) I am going to be streaming Kingdom Hearts 2 as I do my playthrough where I record footage for the next video essay over on my Twitch channel

I don't normally stream the recording sessions and typically stream a lot of non-Youtube related stuff, but I figured I'd try something different, so if anyone wants to stop by and hang out, I'd love to have you o7

It completely slipped my mind to make a post but it feels more than worth acknowledging, thank you guys so much for blowing right past 3000 subscribers????

I am so beyond grateful that so many of you decided it was worth a sub to stick around and I have some very fun plans for future videos coming down the pipe.

After the Kingdom Hearts video I took a break for a few weeks (which was probably algorithm death sentence, we'll see lol) but a video will be going out later today as I post this, I've started work on the KH2 Essay and I have a few other shorter projects that'll be coming out in the near future. Thank you for your support and patience, and thank you for watching my videos.

Talk soon.

Good new, bad news!

Bad news first. At one point in 2 and a half hour Kingdom Hearts Retrospective I said the word "c*nt" and despite 3 rounds of back and forth with Youtube support they have concluded that the word "c*nt" is on par with if I had dropped the N bomb, very cool Youtube. That being said, the video has limited ads now which is annoying but thankfully no strikes on my channel or anything.

Ok, good news now! The news you've all probably been hoping for, work has *tentatively* started on the Kingdom Hearts 2 Retrospective. I don't have a timeline or a date for it to be expected by just yet, at this point there's just a lot of me playing the game and writing about it, which is a good chunk of the work actually.

Even though the KH1 video didn't get as much traction as I hoped for #'s wise, the response from the people that DID watch it was overwhelmingly kind, and assuming the second video does well it might also bring traffic to the first over time? Who knows.

Until that eventual retrospective comes out, please do me a favor and check out my other videos if they come across your feed! I'm planning on doing my one video every 2 weeks schedule again for a bit with the first video post-KH1 coming out next week after my short break. Thank you again for watching and commenting so much on the KH video, the response really made it feel like a worthwhile project for me. Talk soon!
