Korey Nicholas returns for the 2nd installment of the Shadow Legend trilogy. Will he continue shifting the momentum in DT's favor? I edited this episode last week and after 3 and half seasons, it's the first episode of mVm that I've edited out of order. I really needed to keep my mind palace organized to mentally maintain the order of events. It was an interesting exercise. My humble gratitude goes out to all of you for helping make this show possible and as always, thanks for playing.

Madifal returns as Super Soldier Blake in the first installment of Dark TJ's Legendary Shadow trilogy! I edited this one in a consecutive blitz as it goes up on YouTube NEXT WEEK! I'm sure you've noticed the Patron and YouTube gap shrinking. I'm arranging to have a little time away from my job after January 20th in hopes of building back the buffer. I finished Ep 31 before I even started this episode, but I didn't want to post them out of order. I'm sure you wouldn't want to experience them o...

A critical part of every episode of mVm is editing and conforming the audio. This short video shows my process of preparing ADR for editing before I cut to picture. These techniques are especially helpful when ingesting audio from multiple different sources. In the final mix, all the levels should match up nicely. This certainly isn't my particular area of expertise, but I have certainly picked up a few helpful practices over the years. Special thanks to Fiona for letting me use her audio sam...

Hero TJ and Dark TJ must face the law of the jungle. Who will win? Thanks to everyone for supporting me through the challenging holiday episodes. Thanks for your understanding at the slower rate of progress and the delay in Legendary Patron episodes. Hopefully we're going to get back into the swing of things really soon. I have to build back the buffer a bit to avoid having a hiatus. Let's do this!

Patreon Exclusive! My oldest just turned 12 and we share a birthday! She saw her little brother's mVm Birthday Special and asked if she could have one for her birthday. So I said, "NO WAY! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG THOSE TAKE TO MAKE?!" Just kidding. How could I say no? Only she wanted to write the episode herself, so she did (except for the part where I praise her and wish her a happy birthday at the end). She wanted me to share the episode with my Patreon supporters as well, so here you...

I had fun putting this one together. It's the only thing I've done for the past 2 days and I've consumed alarmingly high levels of caffeine. The Light makes his second appearance! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to deepen the lore of your character and include him in my universe. Please enjoy, everyone!

Happy New Year! This episode is scheduled to go live on December 31st, which happens to be New Year's Eve and the last day of 2024. I'm considering making this a live premiere on YouTube as close to midnight as possible, but I have to figure out how exactly I'd coordinate it. I have some ideas. This is the last of the holidays for a while, which is a bit of a relief. I'm looking forward to picking up the pace and hoping to claw back some of the buffer I burned getting through the demands of t...

Merry Christmas! First off, thank you all for being so patient with me as I worked through this one. It's the reason why I knew I needed to build a sizable buffer because there's no way I could have done this in a week. All said and done, it's WAY over 100 hours. Honestly, I think I could have made a tighter episode that would've taken less time, but I had a lot of ideas and I had a hard time giving any of them up. I figure if this is the last Hero/Dark TJ Christmas special I do, I don't want...

Well, it's been a long 2 days. Here in Taiwan, the weekend is wrapping to a close. It's been a lot of fighting, writing, audio recording, and editing. We still have quite a ways to go, but the audio is locked. Onto cutting picture...

I need your help! I'm trying to collect 100 Mii pics asap! Please share this link with your friends, in your discord servers, or anywhere else we can reach the Mii loving masses. This is also open to all Patreon members, but I'm only going to be grabbing images from the X post. I can fill in any missing Mii gaps if we fall short, but I'd love to be able to feature as many fans and supporters of the show as possible. Thanks for your help!

Hey everyone! I hope you all enjoyed a blessed Thanksgiving. This is just a quick note to update you on the current state of the show. This weekend is completely dedicated to the Christmas Special (Ep. 25) and it'll probably eat up the better part of next week as well. It's a very complicated episode with a lot of unique elements that requires considerably more time and attention. I anticipate it may very well be the most involved episode of the entire run. I could cut some things to speed it...

Patreon Exclusive! My youngest son just turned 8. He only asked for one gift for his birthday: He wanted to star in an episode of mVm, like my Legendary Patrons. How could I refuse? He told me that he didn't want the video on YouTube, but he wanted me to share it with my Patreon supporters. So...here it is.

After I posted Ep. 24, I decided to back and add Snom's sound effect to Fiona's comic. Maybe I overdid it. Let me know which version you like better. Thanks!

Well, team. Here's where we burn some of the build-in back-up. I wanted a 10 episode lead on YouTube because I knew we would eventually encounter production snags. It's going to be slow goings for next few episodes. There are ways to speed things along, but I'm just not willing to compromise on quality. Thanks for your patience and understanding. That said, I have some fun bonus content I'm excited to share in the near future, exclusive to Patreon, that I hope you'll like. In this episode, we...

Some fighters have joined the battle more than once, but 15 Hero Knights have yet to step onto the Smash Stage. Help me decide the order of appearance by choosing who you most want to see enter the fray. Feel free to leave a comment and let me know your 2nd and 3rd choices as well. Let's build this together! Thanks for playing!

Here's a little peek behind the curtain. This episode is the calm before the storm. The next 3 weeks are going to be extremely demanding. Between the upcoming holidays and Legendary Patron appearances, the next 5 episodes are ALL event episodes! I'm very excited, but I'm bracing for rough ride. Thank you SO much for being on this journey with me. It's so much more meaningful that I get to share it with you!

This match-up was originally intended as an earlier episode, but it got bumped by almost a month, so I could fit in all the holiday/event episodes and stay on track with Legendary Patron appearances. I'm glad it worked out that way because I think some of the events that transpired in the mean time helped add a little extra flavor. Enjoy and thanks for the support!

This was a fun episode to make. It presented a few interesting challenges that stretched out the production period quite a bit, but I'd like to think it was worth it. Please enjoy! Thanks to all of you and special thanks to the man of the hour.

We're cruising right along, gang! I'm thrilled to report that we're still on track and holding steady. The schedule has been a bit more grueling than I anticipated, but we've managed to maintain the 10 episode lead on the public videos. For those of you who JUST joined the Patreon family, like TODAY, I didn't manage to slip your name into the credits in time for this episode, but rest assured, you'll be added in the next one. Thanks to everyone for the ongoing support!

After my 7 minute marathon of trying to say "It was like the tip of the shoe and everything," as Dark TJ. I thought I'd give Hero TJ a try in the very next episode. So how does it compare?

Happy Thanksgiving! One of the odd things about scheduling the show approximately one month ahead of time is that we all get to celebrate the holiday festivities unseasonably early. I had a lot of fun making this one, but it was a huge time sink. I worked on it for 2 straight days with a little sleep in between. I say as much in the episode, but it bears repeating right here, I'm thankful for all of you! Thanks for playing!

The mVm turnaround time is ridiculous. I need to be lithe and nimble. I record the ADR in whatever free moments I can steal and 2nd takes are rare. That said, it took me 7 minutes to to spit out one line in episode 17. Please enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at the closest thing mVm has to a blooper reel.
