Early Access: Return Part 2

Going over some details about what to expect from the channel - apologies for all of the channel related videos, i know it's been a lot. Next one I'm thinking will be Overthinking part 2: online harassment, I have the script half finished and will try to finish it tomorrow :D

Thanks all for the support as always

Next video previews

For the next video I wanted to go over some details on my return to WoW and what my immediate plans are for the channel. The TLDR is that it's still a madseasonshow channel. There will be some WoW videos here and there, but I don't plan on stopping my other series(pandora, mmo theory, overthinking, etc). I'll try to have the early access out within a few days - here are the early previews in th...

They're not for sale yet, the campaign starts on the 31st and will run for 21 days. Details can be fo...

New Series Premiere: MMO Theory

First in a new series focusing on analyzing MMORPGs. In this one we define and analyze MMO "Magic"

Early access tonight :D

Rendering the first episode of MMO Theory right now! I wanted to check to make sure I got everyone in the shoutouts. Let me know if I missed you and I'll fix it asap!

Some previews + big announcements

Hello all

Sorry it's been a bit, I've had a lot going on, both with IRL and videos.

First, the next video is the premiere of a new series called "MMO Theory". This is a general MMO based series focusing on analysis of the genre in many aspects, whether it be gameplay, community, monetization, etc.. The first episode is about MMO "magic", and I've attached the script and VO as early ...

New Series Premiere Early Access

Here is the early access for the next video, a new series I'm calling Overthinking! In this one, we discuss the react genre of entertainment, and its effect in the world of social media. I have some filming to do, so you'll see some placeholders here and there, but other than that this is a finished video. Also, the shoutouts at the end are inaccurate. I usually wait until right before the publ...

Videos Update

Still working on the next video. It's a premiere of a series I'm tentatively calling "Overthinking", which will be long form analyses of a variety of subjects, but ill be starting off with social media and content creation. It's very much similar to my normal style of editing of the WoW days. Not nearly as produced as Pandora, but still fairly edited. I'd say it's a bit higher than the channel ...

Plushie Update

Based on the great response on that recent poll, I am looking into vendors for getting those plushies made :D. I have reached out to a few different ones, and will be comparing quality/pricing/design to try to find the best match.

I am sure this will be a lengthy process, but whenever I get updates, I'll share them! Maybe even discount codes for patrons? No promises, but I'll make some in...

New Video: Hey

As mentioned previously, I redid that channel update I made and never released a few months ago. In this one we talk about the gameplan for upcoming videos. Expect more pandora, but also some less produced stuff in between! Next video is a new series.

Next Vidya Plans, Plushies? & Possible alternative to Patreon

Released the OoT video yesterday. Really great reception, very happy! I'm thinking the next video will be that channel update I previewed to you a few months ago. It's been like 2 years since my non-pandora video, so I want to get everyone up to speed with what direction I want the channel to go in. I will have to pretty much redo the entire video though since so much has changed.

I am wo...

Pandora #4 credits double check

I have what I believe to be the final draft of episode #4, and wanted to post what I have for credits to make sure I got everyone, as sometimes I screw up here. Let me know if you don't see your name here and I'll get it fixed!

Pandora Episode 4 Early Access

Here is the early access for the next episode of Pandora's Box. Some errors here and there, awkward music levels, and I'll also be redoing a lot of the vo as I recorded much of it while I was sick(I'll sound a bit more nasaly in some parts). I may touch up the final two sections a bit, and I still need to add the patreon credits sequence. I like to save that as the last thing to do in-case we h...

Some preview stills

Getting lots of filming done, wanted to share some early pics of some of the cooler shots.

Lil' Mads is getting lots of camera time, I'm quite fond of him.

Pandora #4 Intro Preview

Finished up this intro yesterday....WIP but home stretch!

Pandora #4 update & some behind the scenes stuff

Rough draft is complete! in fact, im about 60% way through the 3rd draft. If you're curious, I edit my videos in a 7 step process:

1. "very" rough draft. The most time consuming part of the process. This is where the skeleton of the video is made. At this point I have all of the script/voiceover done, and the video is filled with footage and placeholders. For the most part, any animation/...

Progress update 3/4

Still chipping away at it. The project has grown slightly, and has become a bit more refined. I'm already deep into the editing stage and as of right now the rough draft is about 75% completed.

I haven't posted the VO/script yet as it has been changing pretty frequently. Formatting is by far the toughest part. My issues right now is the skeleton of its gameplay and development. I want to ...

Progress Update

So remember when I said that I wouldn't go too crazy with this video and I would try to keep it around 20 minutes?

....I may have gone overboard again...

I ended up deciding to graduate it into a full blown episode of Pandora, making it #4 in the series. It just felt really wrong to do a half-measure for OoT, in my opinion one of the most innovative games of all time.

The deve...

Rolling into the next video......series?

If you haven't seen yet I recently released Pandora #3! Thanks for being patient with me. I know it took forever to make! So much so that I'm going to take a little break from Pandora. I have some ideas for #4 that I'll chip away at here and there, but in an earlier post I mentioned that in 2023 I'd like to improve on the quantity side of things.

The next video I'll post will mostly likel...

Star Wars Galaxies - Pandora's Box Early Access

Got some stuff to add, might redo some of the voiceover, but other than that this is pretty much finished. Sorry it took so long but as usual I wanted to do it right! Hope you enjoy. Next video will be much shorter(and not take 3 months to make XD)

Credits double check

Putting the finishing touches on episode #3 and wanted to double check to make sure I have everyone listed in the credits. If you don't see your name here let me know and I'll get it fixed! Will have the early access for you very soon.

Thanks all

Pandora #3 Intro Preview

Still plugging away at this and put together a preview of the intro segment. Most of the animation is done. Now I just need to finish the rest, and also do all of the IRL filming, sfx, outro and touchups. Enjoy this preview in the meantime though!

Farewell for now

Pandora #3 Update

Rough draft complete! Emphasis on rough though - I have a lot of placeholders, and all of the animation work to do. My estimation for the total length was pretty close, as it's just over 1.5 hours long at the moment. I've attached the VO to this post if you want that super early preview. I will be redoing some of it though since I've been fiddling with my mic setup a bit.

It's coming out ...

Christmas Update Preview

Here's that Christmas video I was talking about. The credits at the end are incorrect atm - will be fixed for release

Progress Update + Christmas Vid

Work on episode #3 continues. I wanted to have it out by Christmas, but I'm definitely not going to make that. I try to put out a video every Christmas though so instead I'm making a general what's up/channel update type of video, the voiceover of which is attached to this post. I've already gotten a start on editing it, and you may even see a preview for that today. It's been so long since I d...

Pandora #3 Update

Progress update.

Work continues on the next episode, progress has been extraordinary. The script is almost finished, just need to give it a few more passes and polish it up a bit. Not too shabby considering this will be a ~1.5 hour video! I mentioned the subject matter in a previous post - SWG.

Episode #2 is live and I'm very happy with the reception, but it was a bit on the serious...

Rolling Into Episode #3

Hey all

I went ahead and posted episode #2 to the channel yesterday, go check it out if you haven't yet! I've received very positive feedback on it, which is very motivating. Thanks for that.

I've already gotten a start on the next episode, and feel confident enough about it at this point to share the subject matter with you: Star Wars Galaxies.

Those of you who have been foll...

Patreon Credits Roll

Hey all, the video release is a day or two away(preview is below if you haven't seen yet). I wanted to post a preview of the end-credit page to make sure I got everyone. Patreon allows me to export the list of all patrons into a .csv file, but I've made mistakes before so I just wanted to post these to make sure I didn't miss any of you. As always, for privacy sake I've replaced last names with...

Pandora #2 2.0

Finished up the 2nd draft. Most of the changes are in the 2nd half, including 2 new sections and a new outro segment. I have a couple small changes to make but overall I'm much happier with this version, and it should be live on the channel in a few days.

Thanks as always for the patience, I know this one took forever to make but it's an important series for me so I definitely want to do ...

Billing pause + Episode 2 update

Hey all

I'm working on what I'm thinking is the final draft of episode 2. I have the preview for the first draft down below if you missed it, but I decided to change some things with the 2nd half of the video.

In general I feel like it started to edge the line between educational to a true crime doc, so I wanted to try to get some distance from that and find more subtle ways of deli...
