Alright give me a few days, I'm cookin
Ended up getting WR in both Mega Man X4 and Monster Racer so now i've been working on trying to get Era VI out. It's gonna be one of the shorter ERAs in the series, but the last 3 (VII, VIII and IX) are gonna be behemoths. So wish me luck y0
Also 90 second ERA VI snippet avaliable on my patreon www.patreon.com/tharixer

Hey all, I'm struggling a little bit to get through the next video. Usually I would show up on one of these updates with a release date or something, but I don't have much this time around and i'll tell you all why, i'll keep it short and sweet.
I have the script ready for ERA 6 and 7 and i have done voice overs for ERA 6 and chopped the bad takes out and such, just have not begun editing yet. The main reason is just that i've found a really good balance in my life between my two hobbies. I've been streaming nearly every day on my twitch trying to get the world record in Mega Man X4 and I'm just so close that I don't feel like i can really start creating ERA 6 properly until I achieve this. I've also been doing fun stuff like Tekken Playthroughs, Daxter, CTR/Spyro speedruns, lots of variety and I've been growing which has made me enjoy the streaming a lot more as of late. If you want to drop me a follow, you can do so here: www.twitch.tv/tharixer - Also I play a ton of disc golf and I'm pretty hooked on the sport, so it's just eating up a lot of time too.
I'm still only 27 and I feel at a competitive peak in my life. I want to excel at the things that I love the most, and I've always found a difficult balance between pursuing that competitive career and this more creative direction.
But overall, I'm happy in my life, and that's what's important. If the videos don't come out quickly enough for some of you guys I understand, but I'm just trying to take advantage of the drive i have right now and compete in the things I want :)

Officially half way through folks. ERA V drops tomorrow evening!! :) Thank you so much for being patient and sticking with me, even though I take forever to upload each part.
ERA V was quite the rollercoaster to write. It features some absolutely insane skips, the rise of a new player, and some thoughts not many speedrun videos really cover towards the end too.
I hope you will all enjoy :]
For those who care about stream stuff:
I'm gonna be speedrunning Mega Man X4 for the PS1 at ESA this year, so i'm gonna be streaming a lot in the next coming days to better my time for the event, but I will likely do runs/casual stuff of other games too, perhaps some Crash Team Racing, Jak & Daxter on OpenGOAL, or Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories :3 www.twitch.tv/tharixer
Hey all, you know the deal. Sorry for the delay, yada yada lol.
I've edited about half of ERA IV so far. It's turning out to be really unique. If you're a fan of my "the man who broke ___ in half" series, this episode will speak to you. ERA IV centers itself around one particular skip, and the players who sought to take advantage of it. We're once again looking at a runtime above 40 mintues so it's taking its time. Give me a week or two and i should *maybe* have it out.
In the meantime i've been streaming some Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories speedruns over on twitch during the evening hours and it's been a blast lately! Drop a follow I will definitely go live later today and also in the coming days www.twitch.tv/tharixer
Hey all, thanks for staying patient. ERA III should be out within the next 7 days. It's gonna be around 40 minutes, which is why its taken so long. Some ERA's have a lot more to talk about than others, so again sorry for the delay. ERA III has been one of my favourite videos to edit in a long time, so I can't wait to show you guys everything contained within. Gonna try to get one ERA out every month but i'm only human <3
Thanks for hangin' in and i hope you will enjoy it

Hope you guys are looking forward to my 9 part series on the speedrun history of Jak 3 :)
I'm grateful for all the love after ERA I, but i'm of course aware that you all wanna see ERA II soon.
The backbone of the script is fully complete for every ERA, but I still will need to do some tiny revisions. But because I don't really have to do much writing anymore the videos should come out about once every 3-5 weeks. They still take a while to edit, and my life has been pretty busy as of late, so sorry for the long delay!
I will be heading to ESA Summer 2023 on the 19th of July, but ERA II should be out before then, so expect a new video very soon!
I post small 1-2 minute snippets on my patreon, and a tiny one is out for ERA II already there www.patreon.com/tharixer
Thanks for your patience!

Thank you all so much for the recent support on the Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories video. Makes me happy that no matter what topic i pick, you guys got my back, and i appreciate that. Gives me a lot of creative freedom. You're all real ones <3
With that said, this isn't the end for Forbidden Memories. I'm streaming attempts of the game over on my twitch right NOW actually. I got a PB of 5:30:08 two days ago RIGHT after releasing the video which was awesome, but i'm gonna try to take it lower. Feel free to hop in and ask questions if there were some things in the video you wanted me to elaborate on, or if there were things you weren't sure of.
Come on by! twitch.tv/tharixer
Outside of Forbidden Memories did you guys play any other Yu-Gi-Oh games growing up? If it's not in the list below, let me know in the comments. There's only 5 options lol
I tell stories about speedrunning
