Starfield is one of the video games I've ever played

If YouTube processing fucked the compression I'll re-upload this.

Starfield Intro

Well, the time has come for me to let this thing out into the world. Here's the intro while I wrap up production on the rest of the video.

September Patron Update

Hello, fabulous patrons!
Sorry this post is coming a little late. I have been working basically nonstop on the Starfield video. I recognize this has now become my Winds of Winter, but I'm also 100% certain it will be out this month. What remains to be seen is if I can get out my Fallout: London video before the end of the year. I think if I can really condense it, it'll be fine. It was really the writing for the Starfield video that took the longest because the game gave ...

August Patron Update

Ah shit, whoops. Forgot to do this.
Hail, glorious patrons!
I've been grinding away at the Starfield video. I've basically been doing nothing else but that, and it's starting to come together. I'm about halfway done with the editing, and I'm actually moving forward at a pretty fast pace relative to how fast I was going back in June. I could probably finish the video by the end of the month, but I want this go be the best video I've ever made, so if it takes a little longer I think I'm O...

It's Quints...

July Patron Update

Dear wonderful Patrons,

Video production marches on. I feel this one has been my most complex one so far, and I'm really looking forward to the end result. That extra attention, coupled with the sheer scale of the game, is also driving up the production time. I want this one to be really excellent since it's the end of the Bethesda cycle and I have a lot to ...

June Patron Update

Well, we're almost halfway through the year, and I still haven't released a video. This also marks the 201st day since the release of the last video. Rest assured, I feel reasonably bad about that. Progress has mostly slowed due to the fact that my day job is taking significantly more of my time and energy. It's gotten so bad that it's started eating my weekends as well.

That said, today is the first day I felt good while editing the Starfield video. It's actually starting to come toge...

Miracle in Lane 2

This one is a little sad, sorry about that. Still a bit of a work-in-progress because of that.

May Patron Update Addendum (Apple)

Also, I've noticed some of you singing up through the iOS app on your iPhone. You shouldn’t do that, Apple adds a 30% markup. This means you're kicking Apple an extra $2.50 per month. Instead, you should unsubscribe from the patreon and resubscribe on your PC/Mac browser. The same goes for all creators you may be subscribed to.

May Patron Update

So it begins.

I've finally finished the Starfield script, recorded it, recorded it again, and begun the editing process. I have about an hour and a half of raw script, I imagine that'll get trimmed down to about 30 minutes when it's all said and done. There are still a few errors I'll need to re-record, but overall, I feel pretty good about this one.

The DCOM segments, on the other hand, I'm feeling less good about. Since I've been streaming DCOMs with the discord server, I've b...

Rip Girls

With this review of this terrible, boring DCOM, we've officially passed the 1 hour mark for the overall video. At this rate, I think the final video (not including intros, outros, and intermissions) will be just over 7 hours long.

April Patron Update

Hey folks,

I'm a little late with this one because of tax season. I'm happy to say I've written and recorded the next five DCOM segments, so you should be getting those regularly for a little bit. The bad news is that I somehow fucked up the audio and need to re-record it all... so... yeah. The watchalongs on the discord server have been very helpful for me, and they're pretty fun too, so I plan to keep doing them as I work my way through the video.

Regarding the Starfield video...

Alley Cats Strike

The Color of Friendship took a while because it's a complicated movie with complicated themes. The fact this one took me a couple hours to make should tell you all you need to know.

The Color of Friendship

Oh, Racism: The Movie

I'm actually going to apologize for this one being as late as it is. Thank you to the folks over on the discord server for helping me get through this one.

March Patron Update

Happy March everyone,

This is the original month I wanted to have the Starfield video done, but uh... yeah that's not happening. February was honestly worse than January, especially because my dentist fucked up my crown and put me on Prednisone for a week, which basically threw me off so bad I got nothing done for any of my jobs, and now I have chronic tooth pain I'm trying to figure out. Basically, I'm feeling very unlucky.

The good news is since being off it, I have more energy...

February Patron Update

Hey fellas,

Those of you in the Discord know my January was pretty terrible for a lot of reason. I won't get into them there, but because of a lot of problems I was having I really struggled last month to get work done. At this point, I think we're targeting the end of April for the Starfield video release if things keep going like they have been. I'd very much like to be able to post in March, but at this point, the script is only about 50% complete, so it's way behind schedule.

January Patron Update

Hello.

I took a bit of time off at the holidays to not play Starfield for the sake of my mental health. But rest assured, I am back at the grind. I really want to keep this video short (less than 20 minutes) but I just keep writing the script. It's up to 11 pages and I'm only 1/3rd of the way through it. For reference the Fallout 4 video was 22 pages. My target right now is March. If I can get it released then, I'll be satisfied. I don't like being one of those YouTubers that only relea...

Up, Up and Away

I'm going to find whoever decided to omit the oxford comma from the title of this movie and slam their hands in a car door (in Minecraft).

December Patron Update

How's it going, Glorious Patrons?

I took off the week of Thanksgiving to go home for the first time in two years, so I didn't get very much done after posting the last DCOM video. However, I did manage to launch the official Big Beak Entertainment Discord server. I think it's gone pretty well so far, and I'm seeing it as an opportunity to engage further with you all. That being said, if you have any suggestions on how the patron side of the server should run, I'm open to about anything...

Discord

A thrilling new age begins, Glorious Patrons.

You might have noticed a new benefit. Some of you may have even been violently subjected to it. That's right, I have decided to finally roll out my Discord server. Having one has literally always seemed like an enormous pain in the ass, but people kept asking for it. So I guess this is a lesson in persistence for you all. As patrons, you h...

Don't Look Under the Bed

Seriously... don't.

The Outer Worlds sure is a video game

It's over. It's finally over.

November Patron Update

Hail, Glorious Patrons,

I've been killing myself to get this Outer Worlds video finished. I have 11 minutes out of 26 minutes completely locked in, which means I have about 15 minutes of intensive editing ahead of me. I've been moving at a pace of about a minute a day, so I'm hoping I can pick up the pace. Most of the last week has been working on the first 6 minutes of the video, which were very underdeveloped, so I'm hoping the next 15 will go a lot faster since they're much more deve...

The Outer Worlds Terribly Summarized Intro

I hope you're all having a spooky month. I'm grinding to finish this video ASAP, but I've finished the intro, which is usually the sign I'm in the endgame.

October Patron Update

Hey, hey, glorious patrons!

The Outer Worlds video is probably about 40-50% complete. I've had a lot of issues getting the footage I need for this one. But hopefully, I've ironed out all the technical issues, and I can get to 70% by this time next week. I've also had a lot of personal items (not issues, just items) interfering with my attempt to get this edited, and I don't expect that to end for a bit. I recently learned that I was going to be spending the next three months designing ...

September Patron Update

Work on The Outer Worlds video is ongoing. I'd like to try to invest more in plug-ins to speed up the editing process. I think I should be able to finish this by the end of this month. Consequently, I don't think I'll be able to make the DCOM post for this month. But I'll try to make it up to you by posting two next month. It is Don't Look Under the Bed, so it makes more sense as an October post anyway. I'd like to try to keep a consistent pace with those when I'm not editing something else. ...

Patreon Pricing Update for iOS App Users

Hello everyone. Apple has recently decided to institute a system by which any transaction taking place through an app on their store has to pay them a 30% cut. I don't begrudge them for this. Lord knows Apple has fallen on hard times. Tim Cook is living leaner since he only made $63.2 million in 2023, down from $99.4 million the previous year. If these trends continued, it's possible he would be making just $30 million this year. That's basically a poverty wage.

So if you're subscribed...
