I know it's been a while. And I'm sorry about that.

I had another project that desperately needed to be completed first - and it has been - add to that ongoing struggles with mental health.

Episode 11 is in the works. It will be uploaded this week. I'm looking forward to it and I hope you are, too!

Finally got footage recorded for Episode 9 and got the intro done. Sorry it's taking so long, fellas, but one step at a time will get us there.

On the bright side, I expect this one will feel fresher since it's been a little while. I'm excited to bring it to y'all, one way or another!

Have an excellent Friday, everyone!

Haven't made much progress on Episode 9. A lot of personal stuff has been occupying my mind, dealing with balancing mental health and real life responsibilities mostly. It will come in due time - of that you can be sure.

In the meantime, I'd like to know more about you guys.

1. What game are you the most nostalgic for?
2. What game are you really enjoying right now?

Tell me all about it in the comments, I will read all of them 😊

For me:

1. Lots of games give me waves of nostalgia, but I think I get the strongest ones in Banjo-Kazooie. What a brilliant platformer with truckloads of charm, a quirky, memorable soundtrack, and it still holds up today! Sometimes when I'm playing the early levels in it I can almost - if only for just a fleeting moment - see the game through the eyes of child me. It's such a cool feeling... very comforting, but also a lot like a hunger that you can't satiate at the same time. To me, that's what nostalgia is.

2. A game I'm enjoying a lot right now is The Last Of Us. I'm replaying it for the third time. I just think it's a brilliant achievement in game development. It obviously had a massive budget because the lifelike graphics, immense detail and polish are just off the charts. Plus it's got an incredible story that is easy to connect with, well-written dynamic characters and an unparalleled immersiveness. The writer/director of the game is a really cool dude as well, you should check out an interview with him if you haven't. I loved the HBO show they made of this game, too, and I can't wait for them to adapt Part 2.

Had some bad mental health days earlier last week and then got the flu over the weekend. Thus, Episode 7 is going to take me a few more days than anticipated. Sorry about that.

In the meantime, I'm throwing up a mega compilation of everything I've made so far, as it seems people really like that extra long-form content. So enjoy over 2 and a 1/2 hours of tier list rankings and gameplay from our favorite boys. Plus I made a brand new little introduction scene at the beginning of it, I hope you enjoy that as well.

See you in a couple days for Episode 7! Cheers!

We've reached 2000 subscribers! It was only a few short months ago that we hit 1000.

Thank you so much for all your love and support. Expect Episode 7 on Sunday or Monday 🌵

Also, at the risk of getting ahead of myself: I'm starting to think about what comes after the boys finish Super Mario 64. No guarantees, but I am thinking about it. The ideas that come to mind are in the poll. What do you think would be the most fun for them to play? Feel free to comment your own ideas as well.

What should the boys play after Super Mario 64?

A few updates:

1. I'm getting a professional graphic designer to remake my logo and channel banner, so expect a fresh new look soon!

2. Episode 5 of "AI Presidents Play Super Mario 64" will drop probably Monday or Tuesday. After that, I will be taking around a 2-week creative break. Gotta keep things fresh. But I genuinely have a blast making these, WAY more than making the tier list videos, so rest assured I will be back with Episode 6 shortly after the break.

Meanwhile, in the middle of the break, I will release Episodes 1-5 in its own compilation video so that the entire series so far can be watched back to back like a movie. It should be around an hour long!

What did y'all think of Episode 4? Is Joe gonna recover?

At least two more episodes of AI Presidents Play Super Mario 64 are in the works. Episode 3 will be released probably in the next couple days. And then I would expect Episode 4 within the next 10 days. Catch up with the series by starting with Episode 1 if you haven't already. Or watch it again just because. Stay tuned! 🌵
