I wanted this to be up yesterday to mark the 8th anniversary of the US release, but there were a lot of complications and it got a little delayed. This is the first time this has ever happened. Anyway, it's here now and hopefully you find it interesting to go through the details of ho...

Now that this area is done I have all the footage for the texture drawing demonstration video I mentioned back in April, but I may review Ocarina of Time 3D first. Next month is the eight year anniversary of its release and it seems like the perfect time to cover it. The current...

It took so long to get this uploaded because I kept seeing new comments and arguments I wanted to address, to the point where it ended up being twice as long as the original motion video. I feel like the two videos together sum up pretty much everything I have to say about motion, hopefully...

A lot of things happened with N64 emulation this month and I got a little caught up testing various things out, so the next videos will be a little late. The good news is that May will have a lot o...

This wasn't part of the plan. I don't know how this happened.

I'm working on two videos for April, the first of which is a continuation of the motion control video that I did last year. This time I'm focusing on the responses that video got, which range from "reasonable rebuttals" to "third grader headbutting his keyboard." The video will explor...

This was a very stupid thing I did over the past two videos and by extension it made everyone who watched it a little dumber. I promise I'll never do anything like this prank ever again, for at least 364 days.

Time is flying- it's already NEARLY THE FIRST OF APRIL and I'm already at work on another game. Here is a bundle of artwork for you to do as you please with- look at it, throw it away, or start your very own Wand of Gamelon remake video! Everyone's apparently doing it, god damn ...

If you've never heard of this game then I hope this convinces you to give it a chance. It left a mark on me when I first played it and it was even better than I remembered when revisiting it to put this video together. Thanks again for your support

This is the first half of Great Bay's update, the second will focus almost entirely on the pirate fortress and skulltula house. There are a lot of instances where I wish I could edit the models and mappings here, so hopefully I'm able to do that in the near future. Thanks again for yo...

I mentioned in the last post that I would be catching up on MM for a while, and since then I've finished roughly 100 textures and have gotten most areas of the bay done. Each area grows in size as you go through the game, with the bay and Ikana being much larger than the first two, so I'm g...

It's been a wild ride waiting for RE2 to get a remake but now it's finally over. If you watched the fixed camera/over the shoulder comparison video then hopefully you'll be interested in seeing how I thought the remake turned out. The texture project hasn't gotten much time over the p...

A few years ago I promised to do a review of these games, and now I finally have. I was able to put the capture card I purchased with donations to good use and ended up with a total of 42GB of footage, which I'm told is a large number. Thank you for continuing to support and I hope yo...

This area of the game had more to research than most and I actually feel like I learned a fair amount while retexturing it. Hopefully you enjoy looking this over while I build up a mountain of footage for the next commentary videos!
2019-01-12 15:02:50 +0000 UTC View PostHappy belated New Year! I try to upload something at least once every two weeks but it may take a little longer this time since I'm working on three things at once. I'm finishing up another texture pack update (more about that below if you're interested) while working on the Skyward S...
2019-01-05 04:02:03 +0000 UTC View PostAside from the last post with the Tingle images, I haven't offered any exclusive content on this page. I wanted to ask if there's anything that people would like to see more of and to gauge interest in a few ideas.

Emulation is obviously very important for the projects I do and I've noticed a lot of people warning me on YouTube that Nintendo is going to "shut my texture pack down." I've never heard of such a thing happening- I'm not making a fan game, just some PNG files- but at the same time I can't put...

The second area of MM is now totally done, which is a good feeling but there's a lot more to do! The next essay was going to be about the two most recent Zelda games (that's still coming), but first I want to do a holiday special. "What the hell is he talking about?" It wouldn't be...

Here are my thoughts on motion control and why it deserves a shot on every system next gen. It didn't turn out as long as I expected, but it took longer than usual to get all the footage together. Hopefully this interests you, and thanks again for your support!

I've made a Discord server for questions or comments relating to either my videos or the texture project. If you have questions or comments and want some immediate feedback on them, this seems like the place to do it.

Here's another look at the texture project, which has a few improvements thanks to the suggestions I've been getting. Snowhead temple is the only area left in the mountains and will be the next update.
The next video essay I'm working on is about motion control and its adoption (or lack ther...
2018-11-11 00:06:04 +0000 UTC View PostThanks to everyone who has offered support and happy Halloween! After seeing people struggle with the tutorial I posted a while ago, I wanted to ask which emulation option people want to use. Before voting, please consider this brief(ish) summary of the options:
Fixed camera and over the shoulder Resident Evil are very different things and people can be polarized over which is right for the series. This video explores what makes each game style work and speculates about how the upcoming remake will have to change.

Thanks again to those of you who have supported me in this past month. Most of you are probably here because of my commentaries and may not care about the texture pack I'm also working on, which is fine! But I have put together a brief look at what I'm doing, how I'm doing it, and how to...
