It's hard to believe I only played this for 48 minutes. It feels like this session was hours long. This is an astoundingly dumb game.
Sorry this took so long. The render for this finished at 6:30am yesterday right as I was going to bed, and it took most of today to upload.

It's been almost two months since our last podcast! That means this one is JAM PACKED with actual things to talk about. Almost too much stuff, really! After the usual rundown of all the plates I'm juggling, I go in a little bit deeper on my Crash Team Racing video from last month, we talk game design inspirations in the reader mail, and I "spit ...

This looks simple, but nothing ever is. The main problem here is audio -- in the original scene, the close-up of the photo goes on nearly three times longer, because Doc actually uses his finger to point at the fact Marty's brother is disappearing and they both comment on it.
A lot of their comments don't make sense in the context of what ...

The transitional problems when the photo fades should probably look better in the final video. I'm still actually tweaking some things.
The question now is... how soon? We just don't know.

Here's the uncut video for Daymare 1998, which is releasing on Youtube tonight (in about 8 hours).
This video should've been done days ago but I'm starting to think I have too much on my plate right now (four or five more Dare to Scare videos, two more text reviews, and I was hoping to have both my Sonic 3 and Shenmue video out befor...

This is a weird little game I saw many many years ago and was absolutely stunned by gifs and short videos because it looked so unique and weird. I'm not necessarily sure its meant to be scary, just weird and haunting. But that's still seasonally appropriate.
Fun fact: as I was uploading this to Youtube last night, I noticed ...

I'd originally written, "Gonna try to do Dare to Scare again this year" but let's be honest, there is no trying here. I already have a bunch of material recorded and I plan on recording at least two more games.
This is a pretty short video because it's mainly just me bouncing around different episodes in Blood just to get a feel for doing ...

Who's up for a slightly cursed podcast? Technically slightly less cursed as you hear it, as I actually trimmed down some of the worst bits.

Just like with the desktop version, I tried to make these bigger than standard for those of you out there with nicer phones. Phones have lots of different aspect ratios, so hopefully this looks okay.

I just completed a heist on my own Youtube channel.
Some backstory: before Youtube existed, I cut my teeth in video editing by simply sharing videos files with friends. This was a complicated headache, because it often meant your friends had to have the same video codecs installed on their system that you encoded the video with, otherwise ...

Here's the art process for the thumbnail for the upcoming Crash Team Racing vs. Team Sonic Racing video (should be out in the next 48 hours). The artwork is obviously based on the concept of the cover art for Mario & Sonic at the 2016 Rio Olympics, with Crash standing in for Mario.
Tried a bit of a new process on this one. Ess...

It was my birthday! But why are there suddenly so many games I have to write about? And what's the deal with the new Switch? What's a SolSeraph? All this and more in this podcast. Also: you might get kind of sad! But there's a happy ending. Well, happy-ish.

Here's the original version of last night's Sonic GT demo 2 video. As you'll notice, it's almost 100% different.

How the heck did this podcast end up so long? I guess it's because I talk at length about going back to Skyrim after Breath of the Wild, how not enough people are focusing on how little consumers actually want game streaming, Shenmue, and upcoming plans to revamp this Patreon.

Despite this podcast coming out even later than usual, I really think it turned out well for the most part. On tap: writing my first pre-release review, a listener submitted question, Sea of Thieves new story mode, and incoherent yelling about spoilers and Avengers Endgame (but no Endgame spoilers, surprisingly enough).

Six years ago doesn't feel like that long ago (2013), but that's apparently when this was recorded. I found it lying around an old, unused Soundcloud account I had that's been collecting dust. Its tag implies it was for a 1up.com podcast called "Games, Dammit!"

It didn't feel like a busy month, but I guess it kind of was. Also, kind of weird? Should I be talking about the stuff I talk about in this episode? I guess you'll just have to listen and see. Plus: my pick for what 40 games I'd like to see on the Genesis Mini and a screed about old racing games.

It's a sick-cast! Or a bed-cast, depending on how you look at it. Anyway, I'm sick! So apologies for the stuffy nose, the sniffles, and the low energy. Though, honestly, the sickness actually made this a really compact podcast. I cover a lot of ground in not a lot of time. I talk about getting my music up on Bandcamp, the potential for future "D...

It feels nice to be able to put a video out after only working on it for a week and a half instead of months and months of slaving over it.

This came up recently with a friend, so I captured a quick video to show him what it was. Realizing this would make good Patreon bonus content, here we are.
