Hello! New review tonight probably but in the meantime here's a guest spot I did on Guaranteed* Audio where we talked about a John Carpenter movie I had never heard of along with a bunch of other stuff. I don't share every podcast guest spot I do here but I figured a lot of people who are fans of mine would also be fans of the Guaranteed* Audio ...

I switched out some images with higher res ones and tightened the edit a little bit it's not very different from the patron rough overall. Thanks for the support!

I wanted to polish the Deadly Premonition review and have it up on Halloween as like a fun spooky thing but I ran out of time. So here's this instead!
I want to replace some images with higher res versions, add a short text content warning at the top, and maybe add a Homelander clip in and a Struggle Session clip in but it's almost complet...

I went on the Asinine Lupin podcast and had a really great time (some of the most fun I've ever had on a podcast guest spot ever) and I went on a two minute rant about character dynamics and tone in the Lupin III franchise during the episode. I'm ...

Thanks for the support! Deadly Premonition video should be done next week, just needed to get this done quickly. Very happy with how it came out. Definitely a challenge to talk about the show in a meaningful way without spoilers for 13+ minutes but I think I did a good job. Thanks!

This one is just me being upset about a thing I like probably ending and exploring what it meant to me. Currently debating on charging for it (will likely depend on how many other clips/extras I add in/how dense it ends up being overall).
I wrote a little of this when I found out the show was being cancelled when Ken Plume tweeted about it...

I had a lot of fun with this one. It is nice to talk about something really weird that I love.
There is some footage missing at around 14 minutes in and I'm exporting a version with the footage in and with the too small Matt Christman footage fixed as well right now. But I wanted to make sure and hit the patreon deadline so I'll just edit ...

Charity stream video is now live! Main difference between it and the rough is I cut it down by a couple minutes (I replaced the disclaimer at the beginning with a text one and cut some redundant VO) and animated some graphics. That's mostly it.
How to get f...

Sorry to get this one in so close under the wire! I've spent a ton of time on the script trying to make sure I'm articulating myself and what I believe is important properly up to and including last night and today. Lol.
The editing is rougher on this one but I'm very happy with the VO. I need to add in and animate some of the text I read ...

I might license background music for this instead of using the Tomba! music but that's the only thing I'd change for the public version. Compared to the rough I changed some background footage since I was barely talking in the footage I had in and was just staring at people, put in a bunch of podcast clips with graphics for when I talk about Bra...

I've been writing this video on and off for a while (I started it in January) and rather than do two videos this month I figured I would just put more work into the script of this one (I did start a Deadly Premonition review, though! I had never beaten the game until just recently and I'd like to review both it and the sequel!). This is mostly d...

The Chattanooga Film Festival was online this year and we did a live DnD show for it! Shane Morton AKA Prof. Morte, who has done a ton of stuff for adult swim and made the Cheddar Goblin from Mandy (Cheddar Goblin also makes an appearance on the stream!), introduced the show and goofed on Joel at the beginning of it. Tim Reis from Media Team pla...

Will was kind enough to have me on his show to talk about my influences and my philosophy on video essays and editing and so on. I thought it was a really cool discussion and that my patrons would enjoy it. His questions were great and he let me ramble about a lot of stuff I feel really strongly about, and also took me through basically my whole...

I remixed the audio and added a bunch of images and a couple clips to stuff we referenced (a stream our friend Peebs did, Silent Hill 2's voice acting, and a youtube video about cats I kept like subconsciously referencing when I said the word "babies").
Also I don't usually promote live tabletop stuff here but I have a live DnD game with C...

For the final/public upload of the commentary I'm going to remix the audio, censor a couple of cusswords, and add some supplementary visuals of stuff we mention (when I mention potential Lighthouse spoilers I think they end at 2:36, I still haven't seen The Lighthouse though lol), but I'm not planning on cutting/adding any actual commentary or f...

Relatively short review for a cute little comedy webcomic I like a lot!
I'm probably going to start licensing a friend's music for videos! Because their music is good but also to avoid copyright claims! This has the Tomba music I use a lot as a placeholder but look for something else when the actual video drops...

I had a whole segment about queer superhero fiction that reclaims slurs that I cut and I'm debating putting it back in or not. I feel like it's important to talk about but I don't like saying "f****t" so many times in a video lol

I was going to use stills for some games and video for others but I don't really like how it looks so I'm going to record more video and fix it. Probably won't have the usual BGM for this one and will instead have music/sfx from individual games.
Thanks for the support!

I put this rough up last year and finally recut and finished it last night lol

Here's a link to a panel we did a couple weeks ago at ConNooga! It's about how to start, maintain, and promote a TTRPG actual play podcast. It was fun to do and there's a whole lot of information we covered in it. Joel is starting a channel called Critical Tips where he'll do GM advice videos and he put it up there.
I've been working on th...

This is a video about two songs about grief. It's much more polished than the last rough though I noticed a grammatical error in one of the onscreen lyrics and I want to tweak the motion background a little before posting it publicly. The background looks pretty but the way it turned out annoyed me a little bit and I might need to blur one of th...

An old album I really, really love (You're My Lover Now by The Teeth) just got a vinyl release so like with Spirit Phone I used that as an excuse to make a way too complicated video about it. A lot of the links to information on The Teeth are dead so researching it took way longer than I thought and was more difficult than it should have been bu...
