Exclusive: Terrible TV Games (ft. fuzzywhazzit)
still grinding away at the game music video, but making very good progress. in the mean time, here's a bunch of terrible games and a discussion about the logistics of creating pornography in outdoor alaska.

surprise, it's another would-be video from the vault. just wanted to get this out before I headed out of town for a few days.
2023-08-31 01:05:18 +0000 UTC View PostExclusive: CS:GO anthology - 2021-2023
in celebration of the game's birthday and the fact that CS2 is coming soon: recut and in shining 1080p, here are literally all the CSGO clips I have from the past 2 years (before that I don't have the original footage). I've tried like 8 different songs and 3 different cuts of this, but this is the last one.

in addition to the first cut uploaded today, I also wanted to update you all on what's happening on the scripted video front. in summary: stuff.
the current script is about the best used soundtracks in gaming. not just the soundtrack with the best songs, but the soundtrack used most effectively ...

a bit unsure of how the length will ultimately turn out on this one by the time it's done, but I predict the final cut will be less than 20 mins.

2023-05-01 06:40:15 +0000 UTC View PostXCOM at deathdoodle's
last night I was on the boi deathdoodle's stream playing XCOM with the bois, and I recorded a lil bit of vlog-style stuff before we started. putting this out on here and twitter as a test to gauge interest, might do some slightly longer (and exclusive) stuff in this vein if there is.
2023-04-16 23:25:58 +0000 UTC View Postcut stuff: extra Half-Life footage
I had a more than usual amount of leftover Half-Life b roll, so I put some of the interesting shots together with a bit of music for your viewing pleasure.
2023-04-01 05:47:06 +0000 UTC View Postcut stuff: Insurgency Sandstorm
I've been periodically looking around at some of the half-finished project files I have and figured "some of this is good stuff, but not long enough to make a full youtube upload." hence, here we are. expect more in the future. patron exclusive.
and yes the Half-Life video is still coming.

time for a good ol' fashioned status report.
music stuff
a few weeks ago, I decided to give my music toolkit some refreshment. it's something I do every couple of years so that I'm not always working with the exact same plugins, techniques, and so on. in doing so I kinda stumbled into a little groundswell of momentum and ideas, and I think now I have too many songs.
First Cut: Orbs, Weaponized Dolphins, & Commercials
so I'm labeling these previews as First Cuts now. before I make the subtitles and do whatever censoring stuff I need to do for youtube, you get them first. text updates will continue to be labeled as "updates".

alright I gotta start a stream in the next half hour, so I'm gonna be a bit surgical here.
Half-Life video
as the teaser at the end of the best of video implies, the Half-Life video has finally resumed production. I'm reviewing, making edits, and adding to the script again. it's going well. the footage I've already accumulated is promising too, so it's finally getting som...
2023-01-17 08:49:16 +0000 UTC View PostFirst Cut: brave's best of 2022
so this video has turned out to be even more of a big undertaking than I had initially thought. as evidence, here is the first 15 minutes of it, which is all the games leading up to the top 10.
I have more than this done at the moment, but I figured this would be better than cliffhangering you in the middle of #7. some minor edits will probably still be added to what's here as w...

yes. that big mess of a thing that I've been working on forever will finally see the light of day by the end of December. here's a sneak preview list of all the games that I'll be reviewing:

Update: December 1st, 2022 - a blocky surprise
so instead of telling you about the status of the next video, I figured this time I'd actually show you with the power of patreon's new video hosting. here's an early cut.
the edit is essentially complete minus subtitles, the end cards, and a few little edits I want to adjust. this'll take me a little bit to wrap up, so enjoy this early subtitle-less screening.

a fashionable 2 days late (technically I started writing this at like 11:30 PM yesterday, but it's the thought that counts). hope you're all staying within comfy temperatures. I sadly don't have a lot to report here, but I figure I may as well give the state of affairs.

hey hey. apologies for the day lateness, stuff kinda came up. despite my best hopes for this Half-Life video to be done by halloween, it's looking more like within the next 2 or 3 weeks. I hit a bit of a wall with the script, so I dove into the game to get a head start at collecting footage and find more inspiration. promising stuff, though Half-Life 1 has no chapter select so it is a bit annoy...

it feels like these updates are tiny droplets of water in the torrential downpour of global events, but maybe there's still some value in that. my condolences if you're dealing with a hurricane or an invasion or some other life-shaking event beyond your control right now. on to lighter stuff:

in researching for this video, I've done a fair bit of diving into Las Vegas' history so that I can contextualize it in my observations of New Vegas. most of this stuff isn't going to make it into the script, so I figured I might share some of the interesting bits here. some of them even directly relate to the New Vegas you likely already know. but first: a status update.

ring-a-ding. frankly, the last 2 weeks haven't been as productive as I'd have liked (for a variety of boring personal reasons I won't get into). still, while it feels inaccurate to say that things "got done", some things did get somewhere.

I swear this day late update thing isn't going to be a trend, I was just enjoying a bit of crunch to get the video out the door. I ran into a few speed bumps toward the end of the edit process that really put a drag on things, but fortunately it didn't take too long to get over them. looking for Thargoid footage from the older elite games was like searching for Atlantis. anyway, onto b...
