Early Access - MvM4: Episode 47!

I'm usually juggling multiple episodes in various stages of completion. YouTube is behind Patreon. Patreon is behind me. And I'm behind the amiibo fights. I prefer for the amiibo fights to be a few episodes ahead, so I have some idea where things are going, which allows me to craft a more informed narrative and also allows me to infuse foreshadowing elements into the episodes I'm presently working on. I took a day to run a bunch of fights to progress the tournament along and I am more excited...

Mii V Mii Smashfest!

 So, I'm brainstorming ideas to infuse more interaction and personality into the end credits. Due to the amazing support of the Golden/Legendary Patrons, the credits often times represent more than 30% of the entire episode! We've already got the whole "Get to know you series" which I intend to continue, but I'm thinking about adding another segment dubbed "Smashfests." It's basically ripped right out...

As many of you speculated, something is afoot in Ep45! I'd like to issue a humble request that all of you please refrain from posting any spoilers publicly. I'm receiving complaints. You are all my trusted inner circle and you all have advance knowledge of future events that the general population isn't privy to.

January Q & A

TJ here, providing the Qs to your As. Thanks for the questions!

Patreon Exclusive! Mandarin Chinese is hard.

As most of you know, I'm an American living in Taiwan. My wife and kids are American/Taiwanese duel citizens. All three of my kids have natively fluent English & Chinese. This is my 6th year living abroad and let's just say my Chinese is...lacking. Unlike English, Chinese is a tonal language, which means, the emphasis you put on the sound changes the meaning of the word. In my day to day life, most people can understand what I'm trying to say contextually even though I have garbage tones,...

There's no better way to test a hero than with a great villain. Who's the best at being the worst? Is it Bowser? Ganon? Maybe Mike Tyson? Let me know in a comment and your answer will be featured in an upcoming episode of mVm! Thanks for playing!

It's been really good blazing through a bunch of episodes over the Taiwan holiday, but it's time to go back to work. I'm going to finish Ep 45, then catch up on some video extras, like the Jan Q&A, as well as a blooper video. In the mean time, please enjoy this advance premiere and thanks for playing!

Early Access - MvM4: Episode 43!

I have a few more days of winter break, so I'm working as diligently as I can on producing more episodes. I've postponed the January Q&A by a little bit, but don't worry, it's still coming! I'm pouring everything I have into getting further ahead of the YouTube releases. I won't have another break between now and the foreseeable end of the show, so I'm really focusing on maximizing my time now. Thanks for playing!

Early Access - MvM4: Episode 42!

This was a challenging episode to produce. I really struggled to find the right balance between what I CAN do as a video editor and what it makes practical sense to do. I could have finished three episodes in the time it took me to do this one. I'm both proud of what I accomplished in terms of solving this episode's specific challenges and frustrated with how much I allowed my obsessive perfectionism to spiral out of control. Mostly, I'm thankful to God for keeping me motivated and inspiring...

I think this episode might hold the record for the fastest completion time from start to finish. I clocked it in at around 8 hours. As usual, I didn't second guess any writing decisions and just performed exactly what I wrote. I will admit, DT made me chuckle to myself more than a few times. I think I might be entirely too entertained by myself. Hope you enjoy! Thanks for playing!

Early Access - MvM4: Episode 40!

This episode was tricky for a multitude of reasons. It's a holiday special, for one, and it's also the return of a Legendary Patron for 2, but the biggest challenge was managing the heavy number of speaking characters. It didn't take as much time as the Christmas Special by a long shot, but it was far more complicated to assemble. This episode is also hovering somewhere in the vicinity of the halfway point of the show. Obviously I don't know exactly how many total episodes they'll be. DT coul...

Cruising right along! It's been a productive few days and I'm really happy about the speedy progress. Things are going to slow down a bit over the next few days though. The next episode has a lot going on. I may try to get to the January Q&A first. Thanks for playing!

Early Access - MvM4: Episode 38!

Another one in the books. We're moving along at a pretty good clip now. It's been helpful to have a string of regular episodes in a row to try and catch up a little. Here's a little insight into how I typically write an episode. Due to the aggressive nature of the show, I never second guess anything. The first draft is the final draft. What you're hearing isn't half-baked, it's raw. With the exception of the Christmas special or any episodes that feature Legendary Patrons, which need to be hi...

Early Access - MvM4: Episode 37!

I've been making some steady progress over the past few days. I'm on a short break from work for Chinese New Year, so I'm just going to keep cranking them out as fast as I can in hopes of rebuilding a little buffer. It's an honor to be able to share them early with my inner circle! Hopefully the episodes will keep on coming fast and furious! As always, thanks for playing!

Another battle in the books! Things are going well in my effort to get further ahead of the public releases. Thanks to my Legendary Patrons for being so understanding and for patiently letting me delay their episodes so that don't have to put the show on hiatus. Originally, this was supposed to be Fiona's next appearance, but she was kind enough wait a little longer. It's awesome having such a supportive community. I think we all just want the final product to be as good as it can be. Thanks ...

Happy Chinese New Year! Lunar New Year's Eve is Jan 28th, the day this episode will go public. Here in Taiwan (where I live), it's the most celebrated holiday. It's amazing to me how many holidays happened to fall on Tuesdays and Thursdays this year! I had a lot of fun recording the lines for this one. Expect a behind the scenes video sometime in the near future, but for now, Xīnnián kuàilè!

Tip of the Shoe: The Sequel

You may remember a while back, I fought a 7 minute battle against the line, "It was like the tip of the shoe and everything!" I don't know why, but for whatever reason, it's the funniest line I've ever heard and the hardest line I've ever tried to say, the irony being, it's NOT THAT funny! As fate would have it, R8cer struck again in his Ep26 follow-up appearance. As soon as I wrote the line, "Well, if it isn't Mr. Kickety Kickerton from Tip-of-the-Shoe Town," I knew I was going to have a pro...

It was a long day, but I finished what I need for next week! Tuesday and Thursday are covered. Now to try and finish as many episodes as I can over the next 3 weeks. I'm so thrilled I can share these early with all of you and get your initial reactions before they go public. It feels cool to have such a supportive inner circle. Thanks for playing!

Early Access - MvM4: Episode 32!

I've been in contact with the Legendary Patrons about this because it affects their episode appearances, but I'll repeat it here for everyone's benefit. The fact is, I'm way behind on episodes. This episode is scheduled to publicly premiere on Tuesday! Which means, I have a 0 episode buffer. I imagine I will have enough time to get Thursday's episode done as well, and then I get a little time off work for Chinese New Year, so I'm planning on grinding away to get a little ahead. Thank you all ...
