See ya later (not goodbye)! - PATREON DETAILS

G'day you fucking legends, I hope you've all been awesome over the holiday period and into the new year. Fingers crossed this year will kickass for all of us!

BIG NEWS: I will be taking a MAJOR hiatus from the channel for 2026!

I am going back to SCHOOL!!! 📚
The last few years since moving to Melbourne have been incredible but I found myself for the first time feeling a big stagnant and dissasitsfied with my day-to-day, so I'm ready for a new challe...

Hitman: Codename 47 (213) - Early Access

G'day lethal company, hope you're all doing well. Welcome to the end of 2025! I reckon this will most likely be my last one for the year, though I do have a few more cooking. Might save those for the New Year so I can make them the best they can be.
In the meantime, I played through the very first Hitman recently following my desire for more stealth after Watch_Dogs. Thought I'd just give it a go and OH MY CHRIST ALMIGHTY it turned into a huge undertaking, so I just had to tell you guys al...

skate. First Impressions (212) - Early Access

G'day skate fans... wow, ok... I was not planning to do this!

Seriously I've had zero interest in this project since it was announced, nothing has caught my attention whatsoever. When it released last month I could not have cared less but now my curiosity has got the better of me... so we're gonna give it ONE HOUR to impress me!

Won't lie, I felt kinda out of sorts doing this video. It's been so hard to re-introduce myself to the camera and feeli...

Is Watch_Dogs Worth Playing in 2025? (211) - Early Access

G'day legends, how have you been!

Wow I am so fucking happy to be posting this right now, you have no idea... 😅
Been torn between a Patreon update about life or just making a video for the channel to see, it's been a rocky year to say the least. For now I'll just say thanks so much for sticking around! Expect some changes to how Patreon is run in the near future... more info soon hopefully!

ANYWAY Watch_Dogs!

Reacting to Hawktober 2017 - 5/5 (EXCLUSIVE)

G'day guys, hope you all enjoyed the huge drop of Hawktober reactions! If you missed any, refer to the COLLECTIONS tab to find all the videos!

Final one today is Downhill Jam which has a special place in my heart, both the game but also this video. It really just ended off a week of my life that had a lot of love put into it and what it means historically for me as a creator. Plus it's just dumb fun so thanks for tagging along on this exclusive watchalong!

Cheers guys, ha...

Reacting to Hawktober 2017 - 4/5 (EXCLUSIVE)

Buckle the FUCK up! This one is ROUGH!!!

Hope you guys have been enjoying seeing me cringe at my old self because trust me, there was no enjoyment in it for me. This one in particular almost set off my fight or flight response (if you see me twitching, that's what I'm talking about).

One more exclusive to come after this, stay tuned!

Reacting to Hawktober 2017 - 3/5 (EXCLUSIVE)

Let's take a look at one of the more polarizing episodes of Hawktober: American Wasteland!

This was the most successful video of the first year, not to mention in the channel's history and I've been met with a lot of criticism since, for my criticisms of a fan favorite! Rewatching it now, I totally get it!

But having said that... I stand by a lot of what I had to say in this one! 😉

Reacting to Hawktober 2017 - 2/5 (EXCLUSIVE)

G'day lads, hope you enjoyed the previous exclusive drop!

Today we're taking a look at Underground 2, a video which is ok but perhaps I was a little too critical of at the time. But hey that's the cool thing about rewatching these videos after so long, is the fresh perspective. Plus you'll learn about how the opening logo almost caused me to CANCEL the enti...

This first reaction video is going to be available for FREE to the public so if you're new around here and like what you see, consider pledging to help the channel out and unlock some more secret tapes! ðŸ...

The Adventures of Down Under Dan (EXCLUSIVE)

G'day cobbers, welcome to another exclusive video: today we'll be playing this point and click PC game from 1995 (30th anniversary, I had no idea) about a guy who has a lot to say and most certainly is on an adventure like no other.

I missed this one for the full Australia in Video Games episode as I didn't stumble into it until it was too late so now you get to watch me stumble through it as best I can. It's a damn hard game but it's got a great sense of humour which is fun, I hope you...

G'day cobbers, I hope you're all ding bloody alright aye! ðŸ‘

BIG video dropping right now: we're going Down Under in the gaming world my friends, exploring a whole bunch of known and obscure games set in Australia! It's been a passion project for the past 2 months and I've loved every moment working on it, really found my stride again with this one. I'm really proud of the final product and I'm hoping that whether you're from this part of the world or not, that you enjoy it and maybe ...

The race for a new video! (Blog)

G'day champs! Long time, no see... sorry about that.

For real next time I see the doc, I'm gonna investigate some ADHD meds or something cause man life just goes around and around, not like a circle but more like an oval: short bursts of functioning with the longer sections of just twiddling my thumbs. But having said all that, I AM WORKING ON A NEW VIDEO!!! 1

G'day everyone, hope you have enjoyed this blast from the past talking about such a classic franchise and one that I'm sure we all hold dearly. I decided to immediately get stuck in and watch my original videos of these games following the cringe that was the first video. If you haven't seen that, you can peep the exclusive HERE!

Reacting to my FIRST Pro Skater Video! *EXCLUSIVE*

G'day ramp rats, hope you're all well and enjoyed the first THPS Revisit episode! It's been so nice coming back to these games but not so nice coming back to the old videos! 😬

Seriously it was a ROUGH watch for me to see how out of touch I was talking about this game a decade ago but at the same time, it's also kinda charming I'm not gonna lie. It's fun to see the wheels already turning on the Every Level Ranked so early on and that I had no idea at the time, this wo...

EARLY ACCESS DUMP (THPS Revisit Episodes)

G'day dude, HAWKTOBER has come EARLY this year!!!

Yeah we're doing a big week long sesh of the original Pro Skater games, revisiting them in anticipation for the upcoming remakes of 3 + 4 later this year. I'm really pumped, my original videos on these games were total dogshit so it's nice to FINALLY do them some proper justice after a decade stinking up the channel. The videos will be releasing daily on YouTube but if you're reading this, you'll find individual links to...

Ape Escape & the DualShock (Early Access)

G'day you filthy animals, got a long overdue retro classic for you today: APE ESCAPE!!! (and the DualShock retrospective)

I'm so glad to have finally played this game for the very first time, went into it just for fun but absolutely KNEW that I'd wanna talk about it. Had a blast with the project even if some things didn't go as planned, as you will see in the episode. Regardless, still a new fav of mine, very proud of this so fingers crossed people like it! 🤞

Reacting to my old Mario 64 Video (2015)

G'day everyone, got another reaction episode for you!

This time I'm taking a look at my old Square Eyed Shorty called "HYPE RUINED this Game for Me!!!" which is dramatic, but kinda true. Back when YouTube was really beginning to push for longer content and watch time was priority, a lot of us felt the desire to just have some kind of short format video that we could just chuck up on a whim with little effort. I remember Caddicarus had like 3 different examples all runn...

G'day legends, long time! Thank you all so much for your incredible patience so far this year, it's been a bit of a slow start for several reasons which I addressed in a Blog Post earlier this month.  tl;dr: It's been HOT, I've had stuff happening and it's also the start of the year, always takes a few goes to get the old girl running! 😉

Boom Boom LET'S WATCH! 💩 (EXCLUSIVE)

G'day everyone, hope you all enjoyed the episode! Was a really fun one to make, mostly because it was simple: I got to sit and watch garbage and that made up a lot of the video! So we've got a solid 43 minutes of the 70 minute film here with all of my live reactions. I'd never seen more than screenshots from the movie previously so it was truly a blind watch.

Chuck it up in the background and have a laugh along with me. Enjoy, cheers guys!

G'day everyone, hope you're all doing well. August was a bit of a weird month for me so apologies for not getting a blog up. Found myself stuck between extreme spurts of hyper focus and then just being dead for a few days with no energy to even cook or do basic life shit. Nothing really happened to cause it, think I was just going through a phase. 🙃

G'day champs, hope you all enjoyed the episode on the 2600. Something a bit more loose and unpredictable. The last time I made a dedicated Atari video was back in 2018 which was a poorly received Top 15 ranking of my favourite games. People enjoyed the video... those who watched it did anyway! 😅
