It’s been several months since I had a video complete for the channel, and I want to give everyone an update on what’s going on with that. I am having one of the most difficult seasons of my life and I am continuing to work through it. There’s just a lot of backup and delay.
Back in the summer, I actually had a major mental health br...
2024-12-13 03:21:07 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
I've selected the questions for the 10th Anniversary Q&A video and answered the other questions as best as I'm able. I'm planning to release that alongside the next video, which I thought would be short but isn't really shaping up to be. As it stands, I am attempting to transition into shorter single-game...
2023-09-25 22:53:40 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
The Fallout Retrospective is finally finished, and things can actually start moving again. There are a number of planned changes for the channel, such as focusing more on smaller videos, but those need some time to be ironed out. In the meantime, I was going to try and do a Questions and Answers video for patrons...
2023-08-31 00:06:32 +0000 UTC View PostThis February is my channel's tenth anniversary, and in that spirit the next video release is going to be a remake/remaster of all my old Fallout content (including that very first video) as well as the Real Life Landscapes of Fallout East Coast as a double feature. I might miss the actual date of the tenth anniversary and push a little into Mar...
2023-02-03 18:09:11 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
As usual, I have both good news and bad news. The good news is extremely good.
First, my novel is almost done! I've nearly completed the full first draft and am now powering through the major and minor edits. My hope was to have it done by the Halloween spooky season but I might miss that window...
2022-09-26 18:24:58 +0000 UTC View PostI feel absolutely awful saying this, but there will be more delays on the travel projects. I've finished the Bloodborne / Sekiro / Elden Ring video at last (https://youtu.be/hPRo4arGaSk), which is good news, and I got within 24 hours of leaving on my trip until some ...
2022-06-29 12:17:20 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! I had intended to leave this May on the Lincoln Highway trip, but I've been forced to push it back by a couple unpleasant circumstances.
1) I got Covid. I'm glad, at least, that it happened before I left and not during or, least of all, before. It's been mild enough for me but there needs to be a few weeks in bet...
2022-05-11 00:36:12 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! I'm sure there's some concern now about where the next video is as we get to the end of the first 90 days of the year. I got agonizingly close, but the next video won't be done until Friday the 1st or Saturday the 2nd of April at the latest. There simply isn't enough time left to allow me to fully finish by end of day Thursday. 2022-03-31 02:01:53 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey everyone!
I think it would be a mistake to say anyone *enjoyed* 2021, it's actually been the best year the channel has ever had. And that's both audience growth and output! I've put together some basic numbers for how the channel has been performing by runtime and games covered, which I don't think I had done before.
<...
2022-01-01 03:32:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe last time you guys had to wait three months for content, it ended up being over seven hour's worth. Unfortunately, nothing about the production process for the Resident Evil video was sustainable for me. I didn't do anything EXCEPT put time into the project, and it did some injury to my mental health and the people around me for me to have p...
2021-10-30 19:39:24 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
I wanted to post a brief update on what I've been doing and what you've been contributing to. I've mentioned it on Twitter, but I'm doing a Resident Evil retrospective that ballooned considerably in scope while I was working on it. It's grown to an 18-game retrospective for which I've written 70,000 words so far an...
2021-07-31 04:20:20 +0000 UTC View PostHello!
I want to make some announcements and clarifications about my plans for travel content and how I've been investing your money.
The first thing is that I've had to bump plans for travel content into early 2022. I honestly have no idea when I can get a vaccine, and that's the key factor in getting those vid...
2021-03-06 22:11:36 +0000 UTC View PostI haven't done a major update on my channel in several years, and the simple reason is that I've often felt lost and confused about that myself. Every month for almost three years I've said to myself "I ought to tell everyone how it's going, what's next" and then chicken out because I haven't had any decent answers. It's surprisingly...
2020-09-09 05:25:53 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
I've finished the second Atomic Tour video, but I had to upload it over a connection so slow it took three days. Now that it's done, there's some kind of problem where it thinks it's stuck at 95% processing even though the video is available in 1080p.
What this means is that, although t...
2019-05-27 21:22:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe four videos are going to be uploading later towards the evening, and I'm sorry to say that I haven't nailed down how Youtube Premier works for a live chat to happen. But the release flurry is just about finished. As they upload later on today, I'll be making some small changes to the Patreon page and cosmetic changes to my other social media...
2019-02-08 19:22:56 +0000 UTC View PostHi! I'm Noah Gervais, and I sure did have a rough year in 2018.
Probably one of my all time favorite comedies is Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox story, which is a biopic parody. There's a scene where Dewey, the main character, is just having a complete meltdown at the back of the tour bus and one of the bandmates asks, "Hey man, is Dewey *okay*? ...
2019-01-28 22:04:52 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
Some of you may be aware I've been working on a Far Cry retrospective-- I'm nearly done but it's the 30th and it isn't all the way done. It's turned out to be one of my biggest projects ever, around two hours of runtime and sixty pages of script and almost 300 hours of work so far.
But 99% done isn't *DON...
2018-04-30 19:09:25 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Last night I posted a draft of a thank you note I was working on, about the Travel Videos and an upcoming Call of Juarez retrospective-- it wasn't all the way there and didn't 100% follow what I was trying to convey, because I was planning on hammering out a second draft later--
I'm sorry if it caus...
2017-12-16 20:56:52 +0000 UTC View PostSo back at the beginning of the trip, before I even left, I said to my wife "If it ever stops being fun, we'll come back."
Well, in late August after the last round of videos we hit a low point with the trip. I got into an argument with my friend Mitty, and it ended our friendship. We went dead broke for a week with no food, electricit...
2017-10-31 20:30:45 +0000 UTC View PostHey Everyone!
I'm sorry this month's videos are slightly late-- I did two at once, and a surprise review I got to do fro Polygon ate into my time. Expect them within the next two days, though. They'll be:
1) Prey vs. Prey, looking at Human Head's 2006 story-driven shooter and Arkane's 2017 immersive sim.
Hey everybody!
So, as you've all noticed, I'm late with the video for December and owe you one for January as well-- I have stuff that's mostly put together, a Dishonored video and one for the Homeworld prequel. And more-- I played Tyranny and will have a video on it at some point, but I'm trying to get an article published on that gam...
2017-01-09 20:59:12 +0000 UTC View PostI have promised travel content for a long time, and not delivered. I haven't been idle. I've been trying to fix my bus. And thanks to all of you, it's ready. I fixed my spark issue. I'm waiting on a friend to help me time it, but I got it to backfire, and that means I have spark. Once it's timed, it'll run in a basic way.
And once it runs in ...
2016-09-17 14:11:39 +0000 UTC View PostAs you know, I've had a Baldurs Gate video in the works for some time. I have taken way too long with it, and my laptop's power circuit has died. I have ordered a new laptop, but it means more delays after the delays I could have actually avoided.
I would be frustrated by this, if I was in your position l, I would not feel like I was getting ...

I've made major updates to the Patreon page to reflect the fact that I'm now also doing freelancing work as a legitimate game critic for real publications. If anyone was waiting until I reached this threshold to stop their patronage, I want to make sure you know that threshold has been reached.
