I know I just did an update blog, but things do have a tendency to change on me, so I figure this time I might as well let you in on the new stuff. I recently got codes for Typoman and Layers of Fear: Legacy. Both publishers contacted me separately asking if I wanted to do a review and I said I probably wouldn't have time, and they both gave me codes anyway because they're awesome. And you know what, this time I couldn't resist; these are both games I've really been wanting to play. So hey, l...

I just realized that it's been way too long since the last update! Not a ton to report on at the moment, but let's at the very least go over what videos are currently in the works.
First up, I've got a video on Mario Kart Tour. I wish I'd thought to do a video on it when the news was first announced, but sometimes I just don't realize how much I've got to say about something until I've had some time to mull it over. That should have gone out instead of The Gamer's Brief, but I was alrea...

The longest Arlocast yet! Hopefully that at least somewhat makes up for the lack of Arlocasts these last few months.
Enjoy!

Thanks usually come last in update blogs, but that's not gonna fly this time.
On Christmas Eve I posted my Christmas special, and right after I went to a party at some friends' house. When I came home there was a FLOOD of new patrons, and that flood continued for days. Even now new patrons are trickling in. And I can't even describe how much this touches me. Seeing all those notification emails was incredible, and between this and finally reaching 200,000 subscribers (on the 25th, I mig...

Hey guys! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and are now having a great December! Now that the mad rush to review everything in the world is over, I figured I'd pop in and give you a quick update.
First off, WHEW!!! I've been in a mad dash since mid-October, and I tell ya, it feels GOOD to be done with it. I don't believe I've ever put out that much content within one month before. Fortunately I've seen a great return on my time; the videos did well overall, with the Skyrim and Doom re...

Hey guys! Unfortunately I don't have a big, fun update for you, just a quick one to let you know what's going on since things are very unpredictable right now.
My original plan was to work on nothing but my Super Mario Odyssey review until it was done, but something pretty interesting happened. During November, the month with more games coming to Switch than you could ever hope for, suddenly everyone in the world decided to start throwing review copies at me. Okay, well not everyone...

Sup!
Just wanted to drop by and give y'all an update. 'Cause you know, that's like what I do here on Patreon, and stuff.
I'm happy to tell you that I've officially started writing the Breath of the Wild review! ...Wait, had I started last time? Did I say all that already? I don't know, whatever.
I've been busting my bottom trying to get ahead over this last few weeks for various reasons. For one, netting extra time would have meant more time for Super Mario Odyssey if I'd go...

Hey! How's it going?
I don't have a ton to report on right now, but mainly I just wanted to let you know I updated my Patreon profile. It was about time, too, as things have changed drastically since I first wrote all that stuff. Giving it all a read-through will fill you in on everything, but let's touch on the key changes.
I changed the main description to reflect the nature of my videos. I did once plan on making most of my content "timeless," but due to...

Hey you ten-plussers! I feel bad that I couldn't finish my latest video in time to show it to you early. It was made to be published the day before the release of Samus Returns, and I'm only just now putting the finishing touches. But if you don't mind video spoilers, here's a funny little clip I thought you might enjoy.

Hello my friends! How are you today? I'm doing very well.
I feel a little weird doing this, as all of you are already kind, generous, and altogether AMAZING enough to donate monthly to ArloStuff, but I figured it was at least worth bringing it up.
Arlopalooza is in about a month, and I'm trying to raise money for the event. I set up an Indiegogo campaign and everything! I'd be ecstatic even if it just ended up covering the cost of renting the venue (which i...

Hey there guys, just a quick update on the giveaway. I'm opening it up to international patrons, as Nintendo Force themselves have offered to help with shipping in the event that any of the winners are outside of the US.
Sorry to anyone who was bummed by the initial US-only thing. The decision was made without enough thought; in life I tend to stay pretty thrifty, and going into this I originally imagined that doing casual giveaways like this wouldn't be sustainable if I had...

Here we go! I've got five copies of the latest Nintendo Force magazine featuring an interview with Arlo himself, and if you want one all you have to do is leave a comment here! In a few days I'll randomly pick five winners and contact them about shipping. Please keep it to one comment/entry per person, and unfortunately I'm going to have to keep this within the US. International shipping is exorbitantly expensive. EDIT: Giveaway is now open to the whole world! &n...

It's been too long since I've done a blog, so here I am! Really though it doesn't feel like it's been that long. I've been working so much and life is going by so fast that it feels like I did the previous one last week. Oy.
I'm very happy that I was able to get everything on the agenda done except for my "E3 keeps getting better" video. Now I'm just going to skip it, as the opportunity to do it has passed, but it's no biggie. It was never a particularly im...

Hello! How are you? How was your E3?
Well mine was GREAT. Like I said before, I had someone helping me for the week and was able to get a ton of work done. Normally I struggle to get one video out a week, but I was able to do my two reaction videos PLUS three others all within a few days. And that's including the longest episode ever of The Gamer's Brief, and those take a lot of time to shoot and edit! I'm exhausted but I loved every minute of it. &nb...

Just a quick update. Whenever I post a long update blog listing a ton of projects I'm working on, I always post it and then remember two or three more immediate things I'm putting out first. For instance, did I mention anything about my Yooka Laylee review? I can't remember.
Well, if I didn't, I did a Yooka Laylee review! But I guess you probably saw that already, huh? Well then, how about a surprise followup??? Yeah, now I've got your attention.

Hey guys! I figure it's time for an update, so here is the update!
At this moment I'm working on a video that came to me very suddenly and got written and shot just as suddenly, and I'm actually closing in on the end of editing. It's about Miiverse and why Nintendo decided to go without it on the Switch. It also goes off on a bit of a tangent about their policies regarding Youtube, which is kind of fun because it will mark the first time I've addressed the issue ...

Hey there guys! I love you! I missed you! How have you been? You look great!
In case you couldn't tell, I'm pretty behind in my Patreon-related stuff and I feel pretty bad about it. I haven't done a blog in what feels like ages, and I haven't uploaded an LP in months. I'm glad that I got to do those Arlocasts, but I do need to step up my game.
The Switch launch has taken all of my attention, and I'm still hitting the subject pretty hard, trying ...

Hey guys! I don't know if you all noticed, but I HIT 100k SUBSCRIBERS!!! I really am blown away. Hitting that milestone by the end of the year was always a goal that felt less-than-realistic, seeing as the majority of Youtube channels never get that many subs, but I wanted to shoot for it anyway because it's fun to aim for the stars, you know? I didn't technically make it in time...but I was only eighteen days off, so yeah, I'm pretty satisfied, and all the mo...

Hello my beautiful friends! I thought I'd change things up and do a public post celebrating the new year. How are all you patron and non-patron folks alike doing? My holiday truly was fantastic, though I suspect I’m going to have to jog about a thousand miles in order to work off the food-related horrors I inflicted upon my poor body.
Here would normally be where I would fill you in on the projects you can look forward to in the coming month, but unfortunately those ...

Seriously though, yesterday was Sac Gamers Expo, and I had a BLAST. Lockstin and I sat at two tables in the Youtube room across from Andre from Black Nerd Comedy, who we got to meet, and who is a really awesome guy. Super bubbly and friendly, and he even recognized me!
I got to meet way more fans than I ever could have anticipated; just dozens and dozens of them, felt like I was s...
