Hello patrons, I hope you're having a great day! I mentioned in the last update that I was planning on recording a gameplay video -- well, there's been a slight change of plans. I picked Pilotwings 64 to record, and actually got a good ways through a recording session. While recording, I discussed some of the history of the game and realized that the subject would be much better covered in a scripted video. I decided to switch gears and make a quick scripted video, specifically on Pi...

Hello all! The Patreon exclusive video is almost ready for editing, so I wanted to check in and make sure you have the chance to get any questions you may have in. As a reminder, this video will be about how B-roll is shot for the channel, so any questions regarding equipment, lighting, etc. are welcome. I'll cut off questions at the end of the day tomorrow, so don't hesitate to ask if you're curious about anything! Thanks again!

I have some exciting information to share today -- some news on both an upcoming video on the channel as well as a video that will remain entirely exclusive to Patreon!
First, let's discuss the next video on the channel itself. As I'm sure you gathered from the thumbnail, it will cover the 1994 MS-DOS game Descent. This will be in a format similar to other "overview" videos on the channel, discussing the features of the game and some historical info. Shaking things up a bit, this ...

Finished capturing gameplay footage and getting B-roll shots today! Editing is next--it shouldn't take too much longer before the video is finished and ready for upload. As usual, Patreon will be getting the video early, I hope you're looking forward to it!
Thank you for your continued support, stay safe out there!

Evening folks, I hope you're doing well today!
This is a quick update about the next video coming to the channel! The topic this time around will be PlayStation Demo Discs. Demos have in many ways become a thing of the past, at least in the form they once took. Some of my earliest memories with video games revolve around trying all sorts of PS1 games through demos, many of which became some of my favorite games on the platform once I had the chance to try the full thing...

Dropping in for a quick announcement post!
Shortly after publishing the channel trailer, inspiration struck for what I knew had to be the channel’s next video—one covering the humble Expansion Pak. The accessory did a lot for the N64, and I thought it would be a perfect fit for the channel. I’m also excited to say that this video will use the most on-camera footage we’ve had on the channel yet! I’ve always wanted to branch out further into “live-action” footage, rather th...

Hello again! It’s that time— time for a short update!
Very soon, I’ll be making the channel’s very first channel trailer public! This is something I’ve always wanted to introduce to the channel, and I think I have enough content now uploaded to finally create one. Channel trailers are a great way to introduce new viewers to your videos, hopefully it can also be used to help spread the word about the channel itself!
(Edit: Going to spend a little more time polishing the...

Hello hello! This is going up later than I would’ve liked (thanks to some processing bugs) but it’s here now! This past weekend’s Famicom Weekend video is an arcade style puzzle-platforming game with a strange title and a lot of charm. Thanks again for all of your support, enjoy the video!

Quick announcement! Since discussing doing something Animal Crossing related for the channel, I decided to record a little tour of my Animal Crossing: New Horizons island as an Easter treat! The video will be available at 12:30 PM Central today, April 12th. Thanks so much for the suggestion, I think the video turned out well! Nice and relaxed, just like the game. 😎
Have a wonderful day, stay safe, and enjoy the video — buffer content starts with a new Famicom Weekend this coming S...

EDIT: 3/31/20 After uploading all day we’re only at 90%. 😐 Bear with me, I’ll have the video up here as soon as it finishes processing! Since we’ve had a couple of delays, I’ll be keeping the video up here exclusively for two days, with the public release on Friday. Apologies again for the wait!
Hello, it's been a little while! I hope you're doing well and staying safe, recent world events have been stressful to say the least. Today I have a few good announc...

Hello again! I have quite a few things to discuss in today’s post, so let’s get started!
First, let’s talk about an idea I’ve been sitting on for a while. Since I started the channel and began to work through some expected and unexpected challenges, and I soon began to take the approach of working on one video at a time whenever I had the spare time. Quality has always been important to me, so I’m not afraid to take my time and make sure things are done to the best of my abil...

It's here, about 9 hours early! I wanted to release this here a little earlier, but I don't want to hold off on releasing a new video to the channel proper for any longer. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the video!

Good evening! As you might have guessed, it's time yet again for another update! I don't know about you, but the dreary weather of the winter starts to get to me after a while. Since we still have a little while to go before consistently sunnier days are here again, I thought a sunny game might suit the channel well!
The next video will cover Wave Race 64! I have so many childhood memories of summer days spent in the digital waters of Dolphin Park, Sunset Bay, Twilight City, and a...

Hello, and Happy New Year! I hope the month of January has been treating you well so far! I'm pleased to announce that the extended cut of Star Fox 2 is nearly complete, expect to see it pop up here in a few days. Keep those notifications on and stay on the lookout!
The additional content in the extended cut of the video will include a comparison of the inspirations that Star Fox 64 drew specifically from Star Fox 2, as well as info a brief look into the Star Fox series moving forward t...

Seasons greetings! I hope the holiday season has been treating you well!
I'm dropping in to give a major update on the next video! You might be aware that Star Fox 2 was recently added to the Nintendo Switch Online SNES service! While the game has been officially available for a good while through the SNES Classic, the second release of the game sparked the idea for the next video!
In case there was any doubt at this point, yes, the next video will cover Star Fox 2 -- the long unr...

The next video is live! It feels good to release another video after such a long hiatus. I had to go ahead and launch the public release for this one, since we had some uploading issues. However, I hope to make it up to you with the Patreon extended cut of the next video! For now, let's kick back and enjoy some Super Mario Maker 2 levels together!

Hello! I’m excited to give you a few recent updates!
As you probably gathered from the post title, the new DSLR camera I mentioned in the last post has arrived! I’ve spent some time playing around with different ideas to bring footage captured with it to videos in the future, and I’m happy to say I’m more than pleased with the results! I’ll be sharing a few clips captured with the camera here on Patreon soon, I think you’ll be impressed with it too!

Hello! Just wanted to drop in and fill you in on some exciting news!
Since the beginning of the channel, I’ve always wanted to have the highest production values possible, with the goal of making the highest quality videos I can. Gradually, I’ve taken little steps up with equipment and I think the videos I create have improved quite a bit. I’ll be taking another step up at the end of the year — I’m purchasing a new DSLR camera! Why does this matter? It means I’ll be able to...

Hello! Just wanted to update you on the next video coming to the channel!
I've kept pretty quiet about this on all fronts, but I wanted to share the subject of it here before I do so anywhere else -- the next video will cover the unique atmosphere of Super Mario 64! This is something that's a little... abstract, even more so than what I think is the most comparable video on the channel, The Use of Atmosphere in Doom. Things shift around as far as upcoming videos ...

When the video releases on the channel tomorrow, I'll simultaneously release an extended cut of the video that will remain a Patreon exclusive! This is an idea I've been playing around with, so I'm excited to see what you think of it!
