Announcing: Patreon Wallpapers

As a brand new bonus perk, I will now occasionally make tailor-made wallpapers for all of my wonderful patrons! Starting with this "Nucroix Cola" wallpaper. A post-apocalyptic mural/billboard in the style of Coca-Cola or Nuka-Cola (from the Fallout series), only featuring my livestreaming drink of choice: La Croix.

This drink has...

RUINER Review | Cyberpunk Curated

What if you took the ultraviolence of Hotline Miami and put it into a deliciously grim cyberpunk theme? Let's take a look...

The Temple of Elemental Evil | Troika Games Pt. 2

Here is my latest video, the 2nd part of my Troika Games retrospective and an in-depth look at what I consider the most accurately adapted Dungeons & Dragons video game to date.

The Most Striking Elements of Temple of Elemental Evil

As many of you probably have heard, one of the most damaging disasters occurred in the southeast of the United States recently -- and no, I'm not talking about the Call of Duty: WWII beta.

Hurricane Irma put much of Tampa Bay (where I live) out of commission for both electricity and internet for a week or more, and so my newest video has taken a ...

What bonuses would you like from me?

I know most of my patrons are here to support my work and the voice I put on to YouTube with my style of presentation with my gaming video essays -- and I am eternally thankful for that.

As you may have noticed, I am currently crediting EVERY current patron in my videos as an extra bonus. This won't be the case forever as I gain more support, but...

>Observer_ - Cyberpunk Curated

It's been a while since my last cyberpunk game review. So with a cleaned up and polished format I give you another! >Observer_ is a detective game that plays like Blade Runner meets Inception. You're on the scene of investigation and you can at times hack into the mind and memory of a subject to learn more about them and to find clues to solving...

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura Retrospective

Here is part one of a three-episode retrospective series covering Troika Games. Founded by three key creators of the Fallout series, this game shares many elements from those games but also introduces an amazing new setting and many interesting systems and mechanics to the mix. Take a look!

Arcanum: Roleplaying Evolved

So I'm going forward with my next video, which will be one of a three part of a new series: The Three Trials of Troika, in which I will individually cover the three completed projects that Troika Games created, as well as some history centered around it.

Arcanum was a very special game to me, and though it had some faults (like all Troika games),...

Fallout: New Vegas livestream archive

Here is a VOD for the Fallout: New Vegas livestream from last week. It was a big hit compared to my previous streams (peaked at over 120 concurrent viewers), and it was a lot of fun. I was hoping it would take off so I could revisit the modifications and tweaks I made to my installation to improve the graphics, mechanics and atmosphere of the game....

Why Fallout Isn't Fallout: A 20-year analysis of one of the best RPGs ever created

Here is my latest offering after many, many hours of work. It's a retrospective analysis of all the Fallout games going back to 1997. The good, the bad, the improvements and the aspects of the games that got worse.

I hope enjoy my take on the series and that it helps shed some light on the history of the franchise, and the directions it has taken...

Aiming for Sunday...

Hello everyone! I've been knee-deep in editing for the past week or two, and it looks like my next video will be just over a half-hour (!), likely beating out 'FFVII: Never a Memory' as my longest video essay yet.  Against all odds, I'm shooting for a Sunday release (July 30, 2017) as I want to have at least one video out in July as e...

War never changes... but games do.

Just a quick update here for my patrons, I plan on doing a full channel update soon. My plans have changed a bit, and I think I'm going to go with the following in my next couple videos...

First, I am working on a full retrospective and analysis of the Fallout series, the oldschool games, what they brought to the table, its spinoffs, and the Beth...

Secondary Channel Launched

I've received feedback both in comments and through statistics that I should probably split up my livestream archives and my video essays/reviews, as some of my viewers are only interested in the scripted content.

It is for this reason I've launched the "Indigo Gaming Livestream Archive" channel, which I am currently uploading all of the past liv...

Livestream VOD: Secret of Mana

Watch the recording of me playing Secret of Mana for a couple hours. Great, beatiful classic action RPG by Squaresoft with a fantastic soundtrack.

Is it Just Nostalgia?

My latest video is about the state of the gaming industry and the regular claim that old, beloved games of the past are just nostalgic, rather than very good.

SWAT 4 Elite Force Livestream VOD

I played about an hour or so of SWAT 4 with the Elite Force mod. This adds a lot of realism and extra features to the game, which make it a more immersive and engaging experience. Still a little buggy and rough around the edges, but there are few experiences out there like SWAT, so it was a fun ride.  I bought an additional light to help with ...

The Road Ahead

In between work, moving and a couple livestreams, I've been working on two scripts for my channel, as well as deciding what the next game I want to cover for Not Forgotten will be.

My work-in-progress scripts are a rant/essay on nostalgia. Tentatively titled Is It Just Nostalgia? This was inspired by a lot of co...

Dead Cells Livestream VOD

I did an impromptu livestream of the recent release Dead Cells. It's sort of a roguelite metroidvania game. Where each level of the game is randomly generated, but some areas are inaccessible depending on your equipment and tools at hand. Had a lot of viewers on stream and we found an apparently broken loadout of two turrets -- which dealt a massiv...

Castlevania: The Lecarde Chronicles 2 Livestream VOD

A little extra bonus for those who watch my livestreams, here I played a Castlevania fangame. Kinda like if Simon's Quest, Symphony of the Night and Rondo of Blood had a baby. Check it out, it's pretty fun!

You can download the full game here:

Big Changes, Big Move

Hey guys!

Just a little update here on where things are headed. I just looked at the house I'm going to be moving to over the next couple weeks. It's nice, spacious and swanky. This will affect my channel in two ways:

1. There will be a bit of a delay before my next big video as I will need to finish packing, trucking and setting up my new ...

Not Forgotten - Advent Rising

A look at the flawed but revered space opera action adventure Advent Rising, what it did right, what it failed at, and how we will remember it for years to come.

Next Video's Script (Advent Rising)

I've been interested in space opera 3rd-person shooter/action game Advent Rising for a few years now -- and after several of my viewers suggested this as another entry to my Not Forgotten series, I took a stronger interest in it. It makes sense for that series, as it was a game with a universe of potential, but was held back by bugs, performance is...

Channel Anniversary Livestream VOD

For the first anniversary of my YouTube channel, I played four hours of Time Commando, a personal favorite of mine from 1996. Almost got through the entire game, but my sound bugged out for the last 5 minutes or so. Hope you enjoy!

Chrono Series Retrospective

My latest video is a comprehensive breakdown of the Squaresoft JRPG Chrono Trigger and its unusual mid-quel Radical Dreamers on the SNES, as well as the Playstation classic Chrono Cross. What made Trigger so compelling? How did it do time travel so well? And what happened to the anticipated sequel, rumored to be called Chrono Break?

Let's take a ...

The Greatest Series That Time Forgot

During the making of the two-part Final Fantasy VII retrospective, I started getting into the Chrono series again. Chrono Trigger for the SNES is on my shortlist for favorite JRPG of all time. Between its unforgettable soundtrack, immense and memorable world you could discover in six unique eras, and its fresh and addictive take on combat, I loved ...

Final Fantasy VII Retrospective

NEVER A MEMORY: A Final Fantasy VII Retrospective. Enjoy my latest video about the history, reception and legacy of the legendary Final Fantasy VII.

Patrons Only: Final Fantasy VII Retrospective Script

Here's a little treat for those who like to read really long scripts. Below is the complete script to my upcoming video, co-written by Downward Thrust . This is a collaboration video currently looking like it's going to have a 30 minute runtime. There are some minor chan...

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait

Hello everyone. I apologize for the delay in updates and content. I was gone for PAX East for the week following my last livestream, was sick with the 'PAX Pox' after that, and my newest project is becoming something of a behemoth to slay. If you haven't been able to tell yet, my next video is going to cover Final Fantasy VII -- the best-selling JR...

London 2038 Livestream VOD

The London 2038 multiplayer revival project (http://www.hellgateaus.info/forum/server-reboot/) is a full recreation of servers and working multiplayer clients for Hellgate: London. The devs personally reached out to me after the positive reception of my Hellga...

Cyberpunk Curated - DESYNC

In my latest video, I take a look at the indie cyberspace shooter -- DESYNC, its influences and how well it stacks up against the other games in the old-school FPS revival that we're now enjoying.
