In keeping with tradition, this video is four months later than I said it would be, but at least it's here now. I often mention how much your support improves these videos but this one might be the best example of that so far; in addition to buying the controllers I was also able to buy new...

This video got rebooted when it was nearly complete because an opportunity came along to test the service firsthand and get direct footage and lag tests. The video had initially just been a collection of the secondhand complaints with commentary about the fiasco, I was able to find much mor...

If it's not clear from the video, I was very happy with this game and most of the criticisms are just mild nitpicks (that no one agrees with! Fight me!). I look forward to reviewing a Metroid game again in eight years when Prime 4 is finally done.
The next video is a review the ...

That's it for this one- in spite of all my missed deadlines I still somehow managed to finish it. There will be other texture projects after this but it will be a little longer before I can commit to what the next one is going to be. And of course the 3D port will still happe...

Epilepsy warning- flashing images below
Those of you on Discord will already know this but I finished the texture pack last month and uploaded it as a beta so that volunteers could test for any remaining issues. That bug hunt is now ending and I'm ready to work on the final r...

I've joked about how badly my AMD Brick™ sucked a few times but it wasn't much of a laughing matter to me- it was previously a mining GPU that was artifacting more and more and had a blower fan that was clicking loudly as if it were going to shatter at any moment. If that thing had died I...

I decided to pause the textures for a few days to do this one after all, mainly because I realized that even if I do get the pack done this month I'll never get the detailed installation tutorial video done as well.
For next month it's going to be all about finishing the pack and doi...

The Huion tablet I've been using started giving me driver trouble with BSOD issues over the past year. It's no exaggeration to say that I use a tablet all day every day, for both video work and texture art, and thanks to your funding I was able to make the much needed jump to better hardwar...

Youtube is taking hours to clear the video for upload and I really wanted it up today, so for now I'll share it here in secret. If a copyright issue does come up due to the 1 total second of Twilight footage then I'll have to take it down and reupload.
Hopefully you're in...

It took a while to get back to this series, partly because I was expecting more games to release last year. I included A Robot Named Fight after all because I thought the internet could use more complaining about things- hopefully that suits you, governor.

Hello all, hopefully you've been vaccinated and if not then I have to ask that only three of you read this post at a time (stay six IP addresses apart). I'm working on the third Metroidvania video now and I think it will include Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, Gato Roboto, and Blasphemous. &nb...

It's finally here- you can finally find out if Star Fox Zero was good or not. It's been a rough five years, but now you can have long awaited peace.
The video only had a few small tweaks compared to last time, so if you want to jump in at the 13:50 mark to start part 2 you won'...

Those of you on Discord probably know that I've been working on the Star Fox Zero/Wii U review, which is another longer one (30 minutes-ish). I originally planned to split the video in parts with the first focusing on the Wii U and the second reserved for Star Fox, which would have allowed ...

This has been asked for a few times and when watching you'll probably understand why I hadn't shown this before- there's only so much timeline footage you can look at before you get bored. But if you want to know more about how these are put together then it might be interesting to see and ...

So here it is, the most massive and by far hardest to make video I've done yet. Was it worth it to mostly just dunk on this movie? You decide. All I know is that I got another excuse to do an Adam Driver impression.
Also- I'm using a new cu...

I once again underestimated how long this one would take... there's a lot to cover for this game, but it's here now so that you have something to stay home and watch rather than going out and getting COVID-19, so in a way I'm kind of a hero

Somehow a farting Wario ad didn't quite cover everything there was to say about 3D All-Stars, so this is the complete thought. Hopefully you're interested and hopefully Nintendo won't turn me into a smoldering crater. Thank you again for your support!

I've had a lot of fun working on both these textures and the video, hopefully it's fun to watch. The comparisons may get a little choppy since I'm using new patches that turn the game into a completely separate entry, so no savestates can be used between them. Tomorrow I'll resume all...

My plans have shuffled over the past month and this is where things have settled: October 26th is the 20th anniversary of Majora's Mask in the US and I figured there would never be a better time for the final video showing the moon. I want the video to do justice to all the time I've spent ...

I've been wanting to give this one a run for a long time and I think the best thing about the game is that it led to this thumbnail. You may notice the audio is a bit patched together from different recordings in different rooms, next time that should be sorted out. Thanks again for y...

A few of the videos (the Steam and SNES controller reviews especially) have called for camera footage and I've mostly relied on weak cell phone recordings to get by.
