Patreon Revamp

Well, we've finally done it.

In July, Patreon is making some changes to the way it charges tax, and we've adjusted our tiers accordingly. To be honest, we'd been wanting to make changes anyway, to remove tiers that we've been unable to fulfill, and make some of our higher tiers more accessible. We've had to be very careful with our wording...

100,000 Subscriber Thank You!

100,000 Subscriber Thank You!

Thanks everyone.

We've just crossed the threshold and hit 100,000 subscribers. It's a wonderful feeling to have made it this far, and we have you to thank for it.

We started this channel in 2016 as a fun hobby project. We never really had a plan and we didn't ever expect to get this far.

A year ago, we had less than 50,000 subs...

Why Cooking Mama: Cookstar Went Wrong

Why Cooking Mama: Cookstar Went Wrong

Hi all!

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for continuing to support us. Our family income is still dipping, as we imagine yours is too, so it means a lot to us to know that you're still helping us. As we said before, please don't hesitate to amend your pledge if and when you need to.

We've been really busy in April. Kotor writes...

Super Huge Thank You (and the Future of the Channel)

Hi all, Kotor here.

You might have noticed that posts have dried up recently. To be honest, we were in the process of revamping Patreon entirely to make all of our reward tiers more accessible for you guys, but we decided to put that on hold once this whole messy pandemic started.

I had expected our Patreon support to drop over the p...

Sonic Movie Spoiler Review...Podcast?

Hi all!

So today, for Valentine's Day, we went to see the Sonic movie. It was really good! We had fun. We recorded our thoughts, and made a video about them, but we also have a big long half hour discussion of the film. So, we figured we'd give it to you!

Game Freak and DLC

Hi all! Here's our latest video, all about Pokemon and stuff. We had a proper video about Henry Cavill and The Witcher almost ready to go, but then there was a Pokemon Direct and we had to scramble for some sweet, sweet topical content.

This video will almost certainly enrage basically every Pokemon fan in existence. Really sorry if you're...

Hi all!

Sorry for being silent for most of December. We had grand plans of making lots of cool videos, but Christmas kind of got in the way.

Here is our newest video, all about Animal Crossing and crushing loneliness.

Thank you again for continuing to support us, the Patreon is thin on the ground at present so we really appreci...

Politics and Untitled Goose Game

Politics and Untitled Goose Game

So here's a fun video: the politics of Untitled Goose Game. It's an interesting subject, as Goose Game creators House House are actually willing to publicly explain their political influences - unlike certain other games companies that may or may not get namedropped in the video!

We just wanted to say, thank you so much for supporting us. ...

The subject everyone on YouTube wanted us to cover this week, for some reason. This one was a really tough one, now I'm tired so I'm going to bed because it's after 1am.

Hi all! Here's our latest video, a day late, but finished nonetheless. Not sure what our regular audience will think of a non-Nintendo, non-indie game, but then, we had fun with this one, so that's what matters! Hope you enjoy!

Hi all! Kotor here with a sneak peak at our next video. It's a bit of a weird one.

Game Freak just inadvertent'y released footage of a walkthrough the first town in Pokémon Sword and Shield. I decided it'd be fun to build it in GB Studio!

The full video will be along soonish with a link to a playable download of the game, in the me...

Hey guys, Kotor here! Just wanted to share a little something with you that I've been messing around with in my (rare) spare time (like, I drew this a month ago!).

Years of telling video game developer stories has inspired me to try making a game myself, which is something I'd never really thought about until recently. This is a test imag...

So sorry this is late - we were going to have this finished and ready on Friday evening, but BretonStripes fell asleep with Baby Gamer in her arms, so Kotor figured he'd just leave the two to snuggle instead.

Why Banjo Kazooie is in Smash

Why Banjo Kazooie is in Smash

Hi all! So last week's video about Sans in Smash ended up going really big for us. It's already our most viewed video of all time by a very large margin, which is particularly gratifying since Kotor had to do the voice wrok and he felt horribly self-conscious.

We're pleased to report that even with so many viewers, the comments section is ...

Why Sans is in Smash

Hi all! So yesterday's Nintendo Direct is going to keep us busy for a while. Here's a quick video from Kotor about how Sans came to be in Smash (although in practice it's just more about cool stuff that's happened to Toby Fox in the past few years!).

Hey, it's a video! And it's early! Not a big deal video ir anything, just some analysis of Nintendo's game plan with Link's Awakening. Hopefully we'll have something meatier for you soon, but these kinds of short, sweet opinion pieces are actually a lot of fun to make, so we had a good time with this.

We've literally been working on this video since before Cadence of Hyrule was even released, it's been a loooong road for no reason other than that we've been busy.

We did make a fun discovery, though: lo-fi chillhop music fits ...

This title needs work, it's hard to find quite the right snappy, attention-grabbing phrase (that will fit YouTube's display).

Hi all!

So things have been really busy for us the past couple of months. May was incredibly hectic, as we explained in a previous post, and June has turned out to be just as wild, with BretonStripes working away from home every week. 

Kotor's been doing his best in her absence, but he's also had big stuff on. In addition to car...
