Howdy friends,
Hope you've all been keeping well since the last update!
I managed to get both the Obscure Compilation and Japan Only Vol.14 out during that window and if you've had a chance to check either out, I hope you enjoyed them!
The obscure compilation seems to have gone down quite well and people also seem to appreciate the CRT/VHS focus in the editing of the video,...
Howdy friends,
Hope you're all keeping well and having a nice Summer!
I've been a little bit quiet for the most part on the update/video front, which is mostly down to a very hectic couple of months. I had a lot of engagements that required me to travel for multiple days at a time and my day job was particularly busy over the past few months as well which unfortunately all eats i...
Howdy friends,
Hope you're all keeping well!
Just a little update to let you know Vol.14 is still in production unfortunately, we're experiencing a rather bothersome heatwave over here at the moment, and lemme tell ye the houses here in the UK are not built for heatwaves and neither is my pale Irish body... so both playing and writing about video games has been tougher than usual...
Howdy friends!
Hope you're all keeping well.
So it's a little over two weeks since I published the SquareSoft video, and the response to it has been pretty crazy. A lot more comments and views than what I'm used to, especially in such a short space of time but I'm very appreciative of all the kind words and hope it lived up to your expectations! As I've said before it wasn't an e...
Heya friends!
This is brief post to let you know the SquareSoft video is rendered and uploading to YouTube as I type. I need to give it a quick run over to make sure there's no errors, but if not you can expect the video to be live later today.
I just want to thank you all for your patience and I hope you enjoy the end result. I'll return with a bigger update after I've ...

Howdy friends,
I hope you're all keeping well!
Just chiming in with an update to let you know how things are progressing with the Squaresoft video, which is to say things are progressing slowly... but well!
I knew initially that recording footage for 47 games (I think I said 48 in the last Patreon update but turns out I can't count and it is in fact 47) would be the longest...
Howdy friends!
Hope you're all keeping well and avoiding that lousy smarch weather.
Just want to give you a quick heads-up on the next video, which will be a return to looking at a collection of games from an influential company in PlayStation history. This time we'll be looking at SquareSofts entire PS1 catalog since you can really only go so long with a PlayStation-centric YouT...
Howdy friends,
Hope you're all keeping well and life is treating you good.
This is just a quick update to outline the channel trajectory for the remainder of 2023.
Normally in the past I would schedule a wheel based video to appear every second video. So for example Obscure & Forgotten / Random Topic / Japan Only / Random Topic / Obscure & Forgotten etc.
B...
Howdy friends,
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and your 2023 is off to a great start.
Many thanks for sticking around during my lil break period! Starting from tomorrow I'm officially back and ready to go full tilt for the rest of the year. That means billing will resume from the 1st of Feb, and regular updates will return as well.
Now inspite of me taking it ea...
Howdy friends,
So the last video for the year is out on the channel, hope it's a nice treat to round out 2022.
I've now paused the billing for the Patreon for January and will resume billing from February onwards, so nobody should be charged at the beginning of next month. Probably handy for most as Janaury is usually a rough month cash wise haha
Just want to say thank you ...
Howdy friends.
Hope you're all keeping well in the run-up to the holidays.
Just want to give you a little update regarding the plans for the rest of the year, since my initial plan has kind of gone up in flames so I'm trying to salvage the remainder of 2022 before I go on my break.
So for those who haven't watched the most recent Livestream (which is archived on youtube b...
Howdy friends,
Hope you're all keeping well and aren't too busy with the run up to the end of the year! Also a big hello to all the new Patreons as well, thank so much for coming on board!
Just want to give you all a quick update and what's happening with the channel, and some details on upcoming streams.
First off, a big thank you to all the kind word...
Howdy friends,
Hope you're all keeping well and looking forward to the weekend ahead!
I'll be filming the next channel update in the next day or two. A big thank you to everybody who has submitted a question for that, I'm looking forward to answering those during the video. If you would still like to submit a question for that and haven't done so already, if you get your question ...
Hi friends,
Just a very quick update to say a huge thank you for the help in getting to 10K subs over on YouTube. I oftentimes don't take the time to sit back and appreciate the numerical milestones this channel hits, but I just want you to all know how appreciative I am for your support of my work wether you've been here since day one or only started watching yesterday. The positive ene...
Howdy friends,
Hope you're all keeping well!
So it's been a little over a week since the Namco video came out. If you managed to sit through it, I hope it was worth the wait!
I'm relieved and not gonna lie a little exhausted after the whole thing, but I'm proud of how it turned out overall. Even if I am personally a little devastated that I missed a few games in the end... ...
Howdy friends,
Hope you're all keeping well.
Just a brief update to let you know how things are going.
The Namco project is about 50% edited at this stage, it's currently clocking in at over hour and a half so I expect the final run time could push three hours making it possibly the longest video I've put out. It feels like the one I've worked the hardest on anyway, so I ho...
Hi friends,
Just a lil update to let you know how things are currently going!
So as you may have seen, we got a new Club PlayStation mix out on the channel and as is now tradition whenever a developer-themed Club PlayStation mix appears, a big long video ain't that far behind it.
And the good news is the video is now into the editing phase, which is the part I'm usually qui...
Howdy friends,
Hope you're all keeping well!
Just a quick update to inform you that theres gonna be a slight change in the order of upcoming videos.
Previously the order was this...
>Fear Effect 2
>Japan Only 12
>Every Namco Game
>Obscure 13
I've decided to swap Fear Effect 2 and The Namco video, just as a test to try see if I can maximiz...
Howdy friends,
Hope you're all keeping well!
It's been eh... quite a busy month on the channel, getting basically two years' worth of subs and views in less than 30 days in kinda wild... but that's the nature of YouTube I suppose, I'm not gonna complain!
As always, I'm just gonna keep trucking along with the usual video plans.
This means the timeline of upcoming vid...
Howdy friends,
Hope you're all keeping well and enjoyed the Psygnosis video.
It took a long time to make, but it's by far the best performing video I've put out on the channel since I started. Luckily it seems the YouTube algorithm has decided to favour me this time around, which you love to see. I'd like to say thanks to everybody for offering suggestions and helping tailor it i...
Howdy friends,
Hope you're all keeping well and I appreciate your paitence while I chug away at this behemot of a video.
Good news, I've finally completed all the game capture as well as finalized the script which is coming in at a whoping 45 A4 pages. (Who'd have though breifly talking about 63 games would take so long)
All that's left to do is record and edit all the aud...
Howdy friends,
Hope you're all keeping well and enjoyed the latest volume of Japan Only PS1 games!
In the meantime since that video came out I decided to dive headfirst into the Psygnosis project since I got a burst of creativity from the idea, and generally whenever an idea excites me I kind of need to follow through on it ASAP. Strike while the iron is hot, that kind of thing.<...
Howdy friends,
Hope you're all keeping well. Its currently very warm here in the UK and my pale Irish skin isn't coping very well with it, but we're pushing through!
Japan Only Vol.11 is currently half way edited, all going well it should be out Thursday/Friday at the latest.
As for the next video, the 'Every Game Ranked & Reviewed' one. Thanks for all your suggestions....
Hi friends,
Since we last talked the Ubik video came out and I'm surprised to see it doing so well. It's seemingly my best performing video on YouTube so far, mostly thanks to YouTube giving it a heavy boost on the platform for a couple of days, which was nice of them! Frankly, it was a nightmare of a video to put together, so I'm just happy to see the back of it and get back into playin...
Howdy friends,
Good news! I've finished Ubik and completed the script.
This was genuinely one of the most difficult games I've ever had to get through as well as write about... I'm amazed theres even going to be a video that comes out of it in the end but it's happening.
If I can get the audio and editing done on my time free between work I should hopefully have it ready ...
Howdy friends,
Hope you're all keeping well!
Just wanted to give you a little update on my next project, its going to be another video on a single game. This time it'll be Cyro interactives PS1 take on the classic Philip K Dick novel 'Ubik'
On PC this game is considered one of Cyros rough gems, on the PS1 it eh... Well we'll find out I'm sure.
Pro...

Howdy friends!
Good news, the latest volume of Obscure & Forgotten PS1 games is rendering and should be out tomorrow Tuesday the 3rd assuming there are no errors that need to be fixed!
My next video will probably be another solo game episode, I've been going pretty hard on the videos over the past month or so and could probably do with working on something ...
Hi everybody,
Hope you're having/had a great weekend depending on when you read this!
Just want to give you a little update on the next video.
It'll be Vol.11 of Obscure & Forgotten PS1 games, the 4 games have been selected, the footage has been captured and the script is about 90% finished, just need to finalize the opening and ending of the script, and then we can move on...
Hi everybody!
Hope you're all keeping well.
So the plan was to have that Fear Effect Video out a few days ago, but unfortunately, I came down with a nasty head cold (Not the rona thankfully) literally right as an I was about to record all the audio, and thanks to a few days of constant sneezing I had to postpone progress on the video temporarily.
The good news is I've picke...
