Update Vlog - February 2017

Here's a video describing the state and future of the channel especially made for my Patrons. Thanks very much for your support!

Designers Chime in on Hellgate: London Video

Just thought I'd share some interesting tidbits. On my Twitter post on my latest longform video about Hellgate: London ( http://bit.ly/2leHFi3 ), one of the original designers of that game and the original Diablo games, David Brevik responded to my post and was really nice and complimentary of it.

This was pretty amazing to have the c...

Hellgate: London livestream recording

Here is the video-on-demand recording of Sunday's livestream of the Diablo-esque "looter shooter" Hellgate: London. Hope you enjoy!

Hellgate: London retrospective/analysis

My latest video is about the controversial 2007 action RPG from the creators of Diablo: the context of its release, its failures and challenges, the concepts it innovated which were met with great success in later titles such as Borderlands and Destiny, and ultimately what killed a game that had so much potential.

Hope you enjoy!

New perk for all Patrons: Discord chat server access

Hey everyone! Just sharing the news that I set up a Discord chat server and have an automated invite available for all Patrons. Discord is a free text and voice chat service specifically designed for gamers -- and Patreon recently partnered with them to allow it as a perk for Patreon pledgers.

Patreon assures me that it's all set up for you to acces if you're a Patron, but if you run into any tr...

Not Forgotten - The Wheel of Time

For my latest video, let’s turn our clocks back to 1999 and re-experience The Wheel of Time PC game, one of the few visual adaptations of Robert Jordan's series of the same name.

What makes this game stand out from others in the genre is that more than half of the Ter’Angreal you can collect are supportive or utility-based, and due to their consumability, they provide an ever-shifting playin...

My Next Video (Patrons Only / January 2017)

Wow, it's been an incredibly busy month for me. I've been putting in very long hours and worked through a whole weekend at my real job, coupled with an illness I recently recovered from (which inhibited my use of a microphone). This has been a rough few weeks for me in terms of content creation.

I do have a new video in the works however, and my plan is to put it live this weekend (should the st...

Poll: What Would You Like to See Most on Indigo Gaming?

Looks like Patreon just released a pretty rad poll feature today. Let's try it out!

So what would YOU most like to see on my channel?

Any ideas?

As part of my effort to create a mutually enjoyable and beneficial relationship between me and my patrons, I'd like to extend my offer again that I'd take suggestions for games to livestream and concepts for future scripted videos.

What would you like to see? A livestream of me fighting infernal demons in DOOM, or an analytic look into soundscapes and the atmosphere they create in video games? L...

2,000 Subscriber Special: Fallout 2 Livestream

In case you missed the impromptu livestream I did as a "Thank You" to my viewers and subscribers for hitting 2,000 subs this week. Here's the recording of that stream. Enjoy!

Diablo 20th Anniversary Livestream

We had a blast in the Diablo livestream the other day -- so much so that it went on for four whole hours! Link's above if you missed it.

The Perfect Diablo Sequel

My latest video is out, just in time for Diablo's 20th anniversary. In this episode, I go over several Action RPGs, compare and analyze their best features, and propose the idealized Diablo sequel. This is a follow-up to my most popular video: Diablo 2 vs. Diablo 3.

What I'm up to in December (Monthly Patron's-Only Post)

Wowie. It's been a busy few weeks. Neck-deep in my next scripted video. This one is going to be a follow-up to my most successful video so far by a country mile: Diablo 2 vs. Diablo 3.

I never expected to get as much attention from that video as I did, and as it stands it has about four times the combined viewership of my other videos...COMBINED. That's quite a lot, and although I meant that vid...

Simulating Nostalgia

I may do a vlog on this topic at some point, but I wanted to share a few thoughts about one of the approaches I have taken on creating my videos.

Starting with my Retro-Spec trio of videos covering Looking Glass Studios, I felt the need to communicate the feeling that the older games invoked (such as Ultima Underworld, System Shock and Thief) rather than si...

Recording of today's livestream (AM2R)

Today I did a livestream of "Another Metroid 2 Remake", a fan-made reimagining of Metroid II: The Return of Samus. I had a lot of fun and we got pretty far through the game. Looking forward to my next stream!

That time when two of the original game devs commented on my video...

It was a fantastic surprise when I saw that the legendary game music composer Alexander Brandon as well as the programmer of the classic shoot 'em up Tyrian, Jason Emery both commented on my retrospective video.

Was amazing to hear from the people who helped shape my early gaming experiences from decades ago. I'm still quite humbled!

Awesome nod from RazörFist!

Really cool nod last week from The Rageaholic, commenting on my Daggerfall retrospective/analysis video. Very awesome. Thanks RazörFist!
