This Alone in the Dark 2 Playthrough Is Your Christmas Present

Hello gangers,

With Christmas coming up, I'm reminded of my favorite Christmas game: Alone in the Dark 2. And that got me thinking about one of my back-burner videos about the AITD games and their history and influence. I've been writing it here and there for ages, and when I actually make it I'll need footage from all the games, which means I have to record them. And hey, I'm still trapp...

"Adobe Must Die" First 1hr 20min!

Hello, friends (and enemies)!

Here's how the Adobe video is going.

We've made quite a few changes to the early sections, but if you don't feel like re-watching too much, the really big changes start at around the 25 minute mark, where the new on-set shoot stuff starts coming in.

I'm really happy with these first 80 minutes, although watching this through to test it rendered pr...

September Progress Report

Hey pals!

Here's an update on what's going on with the Adobe video! Many of you told us you wanted updates even when it’s not a big update, so here you are!

In the middle of August we went out to Temecula to shoot a bunch of footage. It went really well, RIGHT up until the second to last shot of the final night, when Kat fell down some stairs and sprained her foot really badly. 2025-09-27 04:48:39 +0000 UTC View Post

First 35 minutes of the Adobe video, an update, and two tiny car accidents

Hello darlings,

First off, please find enclosed the first 35 minutes of the Adobe video. A lot more is done than that, the video is shaping up to be much, much longer (the script is telling me it’s 46,000 words, which feels wrong but there we go) but, minor spoilers, a lot of the back four fifths or so of the video are being shot on an actual location (which we’re driving out...

New Year's Update (and disgusting new Oreo video)

Howdy Pardnerrs,

Hope you're having a good New Year's. And if you're not...well, here's a video which will hopefully make it even worse.

I travelled to the USA to keep working in-person with Kat on the plagiarism distribution project, since we wanted to minimize the chance I made a massive mistake while left to my own devices and emailed all the money into a big hole. While I was th...

Oreo Bonus Video (and November Update)

Hello fellow Gangsters,

Kat was just in the UK so we could prepare to distribute the ad revenue from the plagiarism video. We had to explain what the heck we're doing to a real accountant and everything! I had to put on real trousers and talk with a straight face to the person who looks at bank statements that say "latex glove" and "blowtorch". But it's getting there! It's been a really s...

Extra Part Of The Newgrounds Video

The Newgrounds patron-video originally had this over the top cartoon-violent example to show what made Flash so interesting. We decided to remove it to maintain the overall chill vibe but I figured I should post it separately. Warning in advance: ridiculously silly cartoon blood

Newgrounds Bonus Video (and June Update!)

Howdy Paizanos,

Please find enclosed the first of potentially infinite videos about the history and impact of Newgrounds. I accidentally made another main channel video just for patrons again! Making this required me to revisit decades of internet history, so just getting this one done generated pieces of script for about five other videos, some of which I'll put in the next patron poll....

January Update

Hello lizards and other squamate reptiles,

First, the poll for $10 backers to decide the next patron content will be going live right after I'm done typing it. If you're one of them, check it out in a sec!

Second, we (Kat) are (is) in the process of collating everyone James Somerton stole from, so we can share the ad revenue from the last video with them. Since the video's release, ...

Bonus Video: Building the 'Set'

First off, hello new people! Quite a few folks joined after the most recent video, which is a very nice surprise!

Now the nightmare is over, I'm looking forward to getting back to normal videos. And by normal I mean, the normal I have never attained but pretend to be capable of. Can I make a video under an hour long?! I hope so!

Now the reveal of the green-screen fake set b...

Plagiarism and You(Tube) is up!

Hello Friends (I capitalised the F in friends because I really mean it),

In case you haven't seen it yet, the new video is finally up! Sorry once again for not being able to post it here early, but it was one of those topics.

I'm taking a sec to recuperate from working on this non-stop for quite a while now - I meant to finish it months ago, in one of the early drafts I eve...

Plagiarism Video Update + Remastered First Half

Hello Freakers,

The next video, "Plagiarism and You(Tube)" is EXCRUCIATINGLY close to done - we even have a name for it now! I'd love to show you the near-final draft, but I don't want to risk alerting the subjects before the video is public. So instead, now is the chance to show off how much a video develops as I work on it.

Linked above is the final version of the first 80 minutes...

Here's the first 90 minutes of the Plagiarism Video!

Hello Worms (and Beetles)!

Please find enclosed the first 90 minutes (roughly the first half I hope) of ‘Untitled Plagiarism Video’ (name still pending).

I’m trying something new with the patron version of this video:

Normally I do a ‘pacing pass’ towards the end, where I realise last-minute some segments would be better off removed, so the main ideas flow b...

Pride Month Update

Hey! Happy Pride Month! Just wanted to give you a quick update on how things are going.

The next video, currently titled "Plagiarism Video I Don't Have A Title For Yet," is coming along really well. I started researching and making notes for it in December last year, but made it the main focus when certain events transpired lately.

My original goal was to get it out during ...

New Video: Myst is (Still) Genius, And Here's Why

Hey!

Please find enclosed a video about Myst, which I made at the behest of $10 backers voting on it for the next bonus video. I'd intended for it to be a little shorter, more like a proof-of-concept for a full video later on, but as is my custom at this point, it exploded out of my control and became the full-length video it would have been anyway.

I'm keeping it just for ...

New Bonus Video: Remaking My Destroyed Set With The Magic of Open Source

Fancy seeing you here, friend. I hope Christmas treated you well. Mine went great, except I sat next to an Aunt who was getting over some kind of Flu (not covid thankfully!) and managed to get sick. I lost my voice and needed to wait a bit until I could re-record some of the voiceover for this here bonus video, so sorry for the delay. On the plus side, I missed both of the New Year's parties I ...

Christmas Update

Hello, Smellies.

Happy Christmas (we said 'Happy,' not 'Merry,' in my household, and it's the only tradition I respect) to everyone who celebrates it.

Since I forgot to post about it here, as you probably saw, the Oof video went up for everyone else. It has, uh, exploded, in a way I wasn't fully prepared for. As a ...

HOT NEW VIDEO, "THE ROBLOX OOF", is up for Patrons!

HELLO YOU SLIMES,

Please find enclosed the patron draft of the the worst thing ever made.

This video is, or was supposed to be about, the Roblox Oof. The original plan was for this video to be out in early September, as a quicker 30-40 minute video to stave off the burnout from longer videos, but then....all this happened. I can't hide from long videos. They find me 2022-11-07 05:31:10 +0000 UTC View Post
