A LIL UPDATE

Hello, there! Matt here!

Thanks for your patience, and really sorry that it's been such a while since the last update - I've been in a bit of a transition period, and things have been taking a lot longer than expected. I'd been putting it off until I had more to show, but felt I should offer a little update today. First up - some bigger news: after giving it a bunch of thought, Quinns has decided that he's done with talking about videogames for now, and will be stepping away from Cool G...

A MUCH-NEEDED Update!

GHOST PEOPLE! HELLO!

Listen - there's one thing we'd really like to apologise for: we've been absolutely awful at keeping you in the loop about what's going on over the past six months. 

As much as I love being enigmatic and weird and just posting intensely-detailed work out of the blue once every few months, I now appreciate this is less than ideal if A: you just want to know vaguely what's going on, or B: you didn't actually even notice that we'd made two episodes in a brand new f...

AN UPDATE

Yo! Matt here - so sorry it's been almost radio silence for a while, wasn't the plan. Me and Quinns were gonna follow up from my Zelda video with a big cool new thing outta-nowhere like a GRAND SURPRISE, but the timings on that have been messed up to the point that it's now just looking like we're frankly being RUDE.

So yeah, here's what's up: We'll be trying a new format that we think will be fun & different & exciting, I'll be doing a blind let's play of the new XCOM 2 expansion when...

AN UPDATE!

Sorry it's been so long, Matt here! I can't believe it's been five months since I last got in touch with our wonderful Funwraiths, 2016 was quite the blur. I just wanted to give you all a brief update on what's going on, as I'm aware that - wisely - many of you either aren't on Twitter.

The short version of the update is this: Cool Ghosts will be starting up again this month. Thank you *SO MUCH* for continuing to support us during this frankly hellish period of time. Keep an eye out for a vide...

A Tricky Update

Hello! Difficult message to write, but here goes. Some of you who’ve followed my work for a while will know that in 2014 my girlfriend became quite seriously ill - unfortunately, this illness has recently returned. Last time I managed to continue to work to some degree - and I intend to do the same this time - but unfortunately whilst the illness is the same the road ahead of us is looking quite different. Cool Ghosts has been practically dead for a few weeks, as I’ve almost constantly eithe...

Why Satellite Reign is A Cool Game for Cool People

Quinns lays down the LAW. And by law we mean "information about a nice game."

The Witcher 3: Hyper Realistic 3D HD Turbo Edition

Blood, sweat, and tears went into this. Alright so just sweat, but quite a lot of it. It was a HOT day.

HELLDUFFERS Part 3

BUM-DUM-DUMMMMMMMMMMM!

Sorry, forgot to post this here yesterday. Have fun!

The Swindle - Part 5

This week I splash out on a bunch of new toys. TOYS. TOOOYYYS.

GenCon stuff!

Hey-ooo. Even if you're not into board games at that much, this video we made last week will probably be a lot of fun. :D

Matt

Daft Souls!

Is it worth posting this up here every single week? I don't know! Let me know!

Anyway, as promised recently in that big update for backers, Daft Souls will be WEEKLY on a muuuuuch more consistent basis, as part of the brand new world order that will be rolling into town very soon.

Apologies if it's seemed very quiet lately, getting everything in place for the big change is taking up a strangely large chunk of my time, and I'm also inexplicably going through a wave o...

SWINDLIN' pt 4

MORE SWINDLE. Hope you're having a lovely week.

Matt x

HELLDUFFERS

A new light series in which I kill Quinns and then he gets angry. I can't pretend that isn't fair.

I hope you enjoy it! New episode every week, etc. :D

Bloodborne Diaries: The Finale

Had a ton of fun with this series, cheers for watching. Hopefully I will return when the DLC comes out!

The Swindle (Part 2 - The Seamless Whale)

Yo! As the game is out tomorrow, here's another episode so you can see what it's like once you get past the opening stages. Really would recommend it, pretty cool game. I'm away in the States for most of this week, and busy with LIFE STUFF at either end of it - so just wanted to get some light and fun stuff uploaded so it doesn't seem like I've disappeared entirely.

SPEAK SOON, BAE.

The Swindle

I've been playing it! It is dead good! Here is me playing it.

Why You Should Grind Coffee by Hand!

Alright, so I've been working on this one for quite a long time. I don't really know what it is, or how it came about, but I hope that you enjoy(?) it. x

Update video July 2015

Very late and very long!

HELLDIVERS with Quinns

Fun little thing for a fun little Monday. Well, it isn't that fun. But it is a Monday.

What Happened At E3 2015

WHA-BOSHHHH.

And there we are. It's pretty rare that I say I'm going to do something, set out to do something, and then actually see it through to completion. So in that regard alone, I'm very proud of that. Also I think it's quite good.

HAVE A LOVELY EVENING.

E3 Abridged: ZE FINALY

Hello you! IT IS DONE.

Well, almost, anyway - next up is my effort to put them all together to make one big video for people who enjoy such things! Process there is to trim out a few bits that I don't like in retrospect, and maybe add a few extra sections in to change the flow. Maybe not though - we'll see!

Either way I'm looking into the possibility of uploading the full version to Vimeo or something so that you guys can download a proper HD version. Not sure if th...

Bloodborne Diaries Part 14

I *must* be nearly there at this point, surely. SURELY.

E3 Abridged: Nintendo

Part 7 of 8 is here! I am ALMOST THERE. Hoping to get the last one done and uploaded tomorrow.

Matt x

E3 Abridged: Playstation

Almost there now - part 6 of 8. Phewph! x

Bloodborne Diaries Part 13

Sorry we had a two week gap on this - it's back! x

E3 Abridged: Ubisoft

IT CONTINUESSSSS x

EA Abridged

WHOA THERE SALLY yes I've been busy. My wrist can do no more Premiere-ing, and I need to pack a suitcase for a week on a boat. Episodes 5-8 will happen when I'm back next week.

MUCH LOVE, SEE YA SOON.

Matt x

E3 Abridged 2015: Xbox (Part 3)

ALRIGHT THEN! This should be the point where you start to see the overall vision of what Abridged is about this year. I do hope you enjoy it, there's a lot more to come.

Thanks as ever for your love and support, aside from hummus it's the only thing that keeps me going.

Matt x

E3 Abridged Part One!

Hello! I DID say it would be one big video, but actually then I wasn't so sure. So instead - to begin with - we'll have a series in chronological order. More parts coming very soon. 

ENJOY!
