The campaign itself officially launches tomorrow, on Monday, November 6th, bu...

Re:Certified Classic has finally returned and also the channel finally covers Silent Hill! Our plans to Re:Certify Banjo-Kazooie and Goldeneye didn't materialize but we got Silent Hill 2 in the hot seat! It ended up being one of our longer video despite having to trim a couple sec...

Hi everyone!
Hope you all enjoy this as much as we did. We have Charlie Wilson fever!
BTW, after posting the Wolfenstein 3d Punching Weight, it was pointed out to us that we got a couple of facts wrong, and then news came out that the new Wolfenstein game has its own weird version of W...

With a new Wolfenstein game on the horizon, Punching Weight returns to cover Wolf 3D console ports. While we don't go super, super extensive, this video covers SIX different ports! This video will be exclusive until thursday, right before The New Colossus officially drops.

Even though I think I’m mere minutes away from finishing it, I finally had to it put down The Evil Within and focus on games for videos. So my week has been mainly comprised of lots of Silent Hill 2 and enough Wolfenstein 3D ports to make my head spin. But since ...

Hello Supporters,
First off, Happy early Halloween!! Our first (kinda) Halloween video for 2017 is a retro throwback in the vain of 90's PC shooters like Quake and Blood. But I couldn't help but notice all the trailers sold Dusk as a lightening-fast, twitch shooter and not at all the moody, atmosp...

We haven't been formally announcing the Hot Scoops winner since we added the tier, and it occurred to me that this needed to change! So, This month's winner of the Hot Scoops Giveaway is Yeray! I have sent out a message to them and we will send out the game they pick ASAP!
Hello supporters!
October is almost upon us, which means our Halloween videos are just around the corner. But we have some other things to take care of first, like our expedition at PAX earlier this month! We played some awesome indie games and got interviews with the devs!

It's been a rough few weeks. Natural disasters, personal disasters, threats of nuclear war. It's high time we all got together to forget about the troubles of the world for a few minutes and played some video games. Rocket League has proven to be reliable hit so how about we all get ...

Hi everyone!
Derek and I were talking about this video earlier, and we realized that it's the first video we've ever put up that didn't have derek co-writing or video editing (he helped edit the script though!).

Hello supporters!
We got new videos coming in hot! The first one is a sequel of sorts to the Quake ports Punching Weight from last month. Quake was voted on by the Patron's here, but Duke came really really close so it felt like a proper follow up. (This means I'm on the hook for a Doom 2 ports vi...
