Most of you are probably already aware, but I released a video talking about the Layton/Ace Attorney crossover a few days ago! Phoenix would be very appreciative if you'd give it a watch ;)

Just a friendly reminder that I released a new video last week talking about the Ori games, mostly focusing on the sequel. It was fun to revisit these games after a few years, they hold up very well.

Check it out below!

Hey, everyone! It's hard to believe it was only 3 months ago when I hit 100 subs, but the channel keeps growing! The Paper Jam video was pretty draining to make, so I've been taking it easy since then, but I hope to have a much simpler video out by the end of next week. I'll be covering a series I haven't looked at before, so keep an eye out!

Oh. That's a new milestone. Thanks, everyone! I don't have anything special planned for hitting 1K, but I am slowly but surely working on the next video. It's a little bit longer than usual, but I'm still planning to have it out sometime next week!

We'll be returning to the Mario RPGs for this one. I'll leave it a secret as to which one :)

Video! This time, we're finishing up the Layton prequel trilogy with Azran Legacy! I talk about the game's fixation with tradition, obsession, and their relation to coercion.

I also consider why a game all about legacy seems to have no lasting legacy of its own. Check it out!

Addendum(!): Last week, I talked about how great Super Mystery Dungeon's first seven hours are. This week, I want to talk some more about how great Super Mystery Dungeon's first seven hours are.

Specifically, I want to talk about how I think it's neat that some games want to risk boring me. Check it out!

So, uh.... Wow. Almost exactly a week ago, I made a post about hitting 100 subscribers, a milestone which took over a year. And now, in 7 days, that number has quintupled. The culprit, as you can see, is fairly clear. But what I really want to say now is the same thing I said last week: thank you for your support!

While this may not be a Pokémon channel, I hope the many of you that have found me through the PMD video will stick around to see if anything else catches your interest. Thanks again!

(...And yes, due in part to the many comments I got about it, I will probably end up covering Explorers of Sky at some point in the future.)

Just to do some planning ahead: since a lot of you are here from my Layton videos, I'm thinking of going back to the series sooner than expected. We have a choice: I could either cover Layton Vs Ace Attorney first (since it released right after Miracle Mask), or I could finish off the prequel trilogy with Azran Legacy and then do the crossover. Which would you rather see?

New video alert! This time, I'm taking my first look at the Pokémon franchise.

In particular, I try to provide an overarching theory on the continued appeal of the series, and why I think Super Mystery Dungeon understands that appeal in ways very few Pokémon games have before. Check it out!

100 subs! 🎉 Thanks everyone for helping me reach my first milestone! There'll be a lot of activity on the channel in the next few days, some of which involves you deciding what you'd like to see in the immediate future, so keep a look out for it!
