Hello!
Here it is! The first livestream! It's a bit of a test to see what works and what doesn't. There might be bumps. Please let me know of anything you would like me to improve.

Hi everyone!
I can't believe it's been 10 days already since the last update. Time flies, doesn't it.
Basically, I've accepted that I'm just not in the right mindset to edit the video and I've been doing other things. Working on custom music for Donkey Kong 64 romhacks, playing ...
2021-12-19 00:18:04 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
I'll be straight with you all, it's been a bit of a rough week. I had set the goal to release the video before the holidays, and I really wanted to get there, but the energy and motivation just were not there. I fell into a spiral of dicking around, doing sudokus, browsing Twitter, Twitch, YouTube and reddit, never actually...
2021-12-08 18:36:54 +0000 UTC View PostHello!
Apologies for the late update. I kept getting sidetracked by all sorts of stuff.
Well! I'm still in the process of writing the script, but I got past the mental block of not having done any progress in a while and being stuck in a tough place to break down. I've completed about 16 talking points and 7 pages, which puts me at r...
2021-11-26 05:01:26 +0000 UTC View PostHello,
I'm sorry I don't have better news. The past 3 weeks have just been straight up bad for both my girlfriend and me. We were both hit hard by the flu, one after the other, we fell behind on all sorts of responsibilities, and many things around the apartment broke down (heating, toilet, multiple lights burned out in quick succession). ...
2021-11-16 17:11:08 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
I posted about this on Discord but for those of you not in there, I simply wanted to let you know that I have the flu and I've been taking a break to rest up. I got hit pretty hard by some high fever and I haven't been able to find the mental energy to work on the script. I will most likely post the next update on Monday, Nov...
2021-11-05 06:39:49 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
Let's start with a quick postmortem of Part 3. It was very well received, and died down relatively quickly. I'm just fine with that - I think overall, this ABC series is going to be a slow burner that will remain an asset of my channel for years to come. After 6 days it's sitting at #7 of my 10 most recent videos. Certainly...

3 new pieces! Although one is just a conclusion piece and might not be great to listen to on its own. I didn't end up recording that other SMRPG song I wanted to include, but it's gonna be in Part 4.
2021-10-24 21:45:54 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
I'm sorry I forgot to type up an update yesterday. I got wrapped up in editing stuff until late at night.
I do bring great news though! Here's the updated progress on the video:

2021-10-19 20:10:36 +0000 UTC View PostBig week, big progress!
I had a great week overall. I did slow down on the recording for various reasons like my voice wasn't right, my girlfriend had classes, neighbors were noisy, or I straight up didn't feel like it. But editing has been going really well!
Here's the progress as of today:
Hello everyone!
I hope you had a great week. I did! In fact, I want to get right into it.
First, some final words about how Part 2 is doing. Unfortunately, it did not have the second breath that SMB1 4:54 did, and it's fizzling out around 160,000 views. It will probably reach about 200,000 by the end of the month. That is below my av...

First of all, I want to welcome all the new Patrons since the release of SM64 ABC History Part 2. If you haven't already, make sure to join the Discord server to have access to the Patreon channel where I talk pretty regularly about the video's progress! https:/...

For real this time! Sorry for uploading a bad version the first time around. I accidentally had left start/end points from a previous video and so it only rendered 1:20 instead of the full 6 minutes.

Thanks everyone for your support while I was making this beast. On to Part 3!
2021-09-19 21:51:19 +0000 UTC View PostI know I said yesterday the video would be out on Saturday afternoon. Well, that was assuming I would be able to work on it until then.
Unfortunately, last night, I made a mistake. I deleted the whole project.
Of course not, that would be insane. No, for real, the mistake is really dumb, but it was my girlfriend's birthday, we went t...
2021-09-17 14:18:09 +0000 UTC View PostI held my promise!
Back on August 29th, I said that the video should be ready by September 17th. Well, I managed to stay on schedule! I am just about to officially announce the release time of Part 2: Saturday, September 18th, 3:00 pm EDT on Twitch, 4:00 pm EDT on YouTube.
I've been hard at work all week. Some days w...
2021-09-16 19:32:11 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
I had a pretty good week. Last time, I had been working at my girlfriend's old home, and I was hard at work on the very long, very complex cloning explanation. Well, that is now in the past!
I moved back into my office. Still no AC, but days are getting chillier and the noise from the renovations is less distracting t...

Big turn of events this week. After the really poor experience from Monday/Tuesday, I took Wednesday off and went to play golf with my girlfriend. But also, we packed up our stuff and went to her dad's house. It used to be the family home, and it's got a nice basement we could set up in for a little while. I can't record he...
2021-08-29 20:26:11 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
Overall I had a pretty decent week! I finished up the script, showed it to people for review, cleaned up a few things (suspiciously few, I'm surprised I didn't make more mistakes than that...), and started recording. I've been recording about 10% of the script per day, and I am now nearly halfway done with that.
I als...
2021-08-24 14:43:18 +0000 UTC View PostHello!
It's been a long time again. This time, though, I have news!
So, two weeks ago, I was on a vacation trip with my girlfriend. We visited Quebec City and the Saguenay region. I have a few pictures of the trip!

Hello everyone!
This will be short. I mostly wanted to say that I'm out of town for a week, as I'm taking a vacation with my girlfriend. I'll be back on Tuesday next week.
The exciting news I said I would be able to share are unfortunately still delayed. It's something that's out of my hands and that I really wish moved quicker, but ...
2021-07-27 14:40:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello, long time no see!
So many things happened since my last update. Thanks for your patience while I stayed silent. I got in a loop of wanting to update but feeling like there wasn't enough substance, and feeling increasingly pressured to do something. Time started flying and a month later, here we are. I'm gonna structure this update i...

This is the new music used for the SMB1 video. Some pieces were already used before, so those are already public.

Here it is! Sorry for posting it a little bit late on here. Thank you to everyone for their support while I was working on this beast of a project!
2021-06-14 16:27:42 +0000 UTC View PostHello!
I'm very tired, so my apologies if this update is short.
I have a proper release date for the video now. Unless something goes wrong, it's gonna be out on Saturday, June 12th. I want to try a double premiere: first, a watch party on my Twitch channel before the video comes out, and immediately after, a premiere on YouTube. We'...
2021-06-07 04:56:47 +0000 UTC View PostThis week has been unsatisfying. I got busy, I lost entire afternoons to other stuff going on, I lost time to not being in the right headspace myself. Lots of sections required more work than usual, and progress is just slow and frustrating.
But, today I had a pretty good day overall, and I got to nearly 11 minutes done. I'm in 4-2 now, an...
2021-05-30 02:27:56 +0000 UTC View PostHello,
I promised quick updates! And I'm not delivering!
As it turns out, I had a bit of a rough week. I lost the momentum I had before my break and I'm struggling to get it back. I was unhappy with how I was spending my time, so I decided to try and make a quick day plan. I made that decision around 1 pm, so here's how the rest of t...
2021-05-22 04:20:34 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
I am back from my short vacation. It felt nice to take a step away for a while, and I am back refreshed and motivated!
I started editing today. I've been hard at work, and I still plan on working all evening long. I already crossed the two-minute mark! That puts us here for progress:
As promised, here's another update! The script is complete. It sits at 5,565 words and the final video will be undoubtedly close to 30 minutes. It's crazy how no matter how hard I try, these things always end up longer than I thought they would. I guess there's just that much to talk about when there's only 0.68 seconds to save. It's also roughl...
