EU5 Video, 2 Down 1 to Go!

Thanks to everyone for watching and sharing this video, and special thanks to everyone who helped me work out this script! These games are dense, and I'm working with such limited time, the hardest part is definitely just coming up with the joke. The next one is around Hearts of Iron 4, which I have also never played, so humorous suggestions are welcome!

New Paradox video to start things off!

Well this was super fun, making it really felt like the good ol days! I'm excited to start doing more stuff like this again, and I'm also putting together a production team for the video essays. I've been traveling for a bit and had to get this together ASAP after getting back - next up are a couple more Paradox sketches, more essays, and more streams! Hope you all have a fun Halloween!

Kyle-Verse Part 1 or whatever I'm calling this

I have been delaying posting things on Patreon WAY too much, I'm so sorry, here's this video if you missed it or want to watch again! Its views on Youtube have been slow, but it's growing steadily. I put a lot of work into this one, so thank you all for watching and being so incredibly supportive toward me personally!

Latest and Upcoming Videos

Wow I just didn't post this one.

I've been neglecting this Patreon a bit, and I apologize. I'm being very in-character and trying to do a lot of things at once, and if it all works, it'll pay off by the start of fall and then ease up a bit.

This video did NUMBERS compared to normal, and I might have been involved in 2025-07-26 18:41:17 +0000 UTC View Post

How to Rewrite a Story Everyone Already Knows

I was going to do a different video this week, but the The Last of Us Season 2 keeps coming out, and it's all very relevant to the whole conversation of writing women I'll eventually get to, and also I saw an excuse to finally share my unpopular opinions on my favorite Spider-Man movies, so here we go!

Writing Dialogue and TLoU Season 2

I completely forgot to post this upload here - I'm trying real hard to make an every-other-week upload schedule stick, and I plan to have another ready this Wednesday! If my current plan works out, it should also free up a good amount of time to finish and start uploading these Anniversary specials, so you can expect a lot more uploads in the coming months!

Arcane: From Revolution to Propaganda

I made a REALLY LONG video about Arcane, my favorite show turned really ok League of Legends ad! It inspired a bunch of new writing stuff, so please enjoy the newest installment of Kyle's Film School or whatever.

This was way more of a detour from my other projects than intended - thank you for your patience, and I apologize for the delay. When I started on this, I was even ahead of the c...

Entire History of Door Monster, I Guess (10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY - PART 1)

God this took SO LONG, I am so sorry. Thank you for your patience and your money. The following episodes will not be quite as long, though they will be VFX-heavy in exchange so... we'll see. My primary resolutions this year are to sleep and to figure out time management, cause good lord, I got a lot I want to do. Looking forward to sharing more with you all!

Happy new year!

Victoria 3: Texas Conquers England (feat. Squire)

This video wouldn't have happened on time without so much help, so thank you to Fort_Master, Mefek, ACExtravaganza, and Besserwisser on Discord, to Corey S. for writing the script outline, to Matt for script editing and voiceover, and to everyone in the Discord who were ready to record backup voiceover for me if I needed it, among others. You're all incredible. I'll even go sleep some as a than...

Anniversary Update

Hey! Sorry for not releasing that first Anniversary Special last week like I said I was going to, it turns out I drumroll dramatically underestimated it's complexity!

 The first episode is a 30-minute video called The Entire History of Door Monster, and it has taken me way longer than I expected to get it all together, but it is close to done and it is coming. I am also...

Equipment Video Outtakes

Thank Back Door for this, he just cut it together on his own and sent it to me as some bonus Patreon content for you all!

The first Anniversary Special is still incoming - there was a slight delay this week due to extreme emotional turmoil, you know how it be. I'm back at it today though, because life still exists and the Task is not yet complete. Remember to take care of yourself as wel...

10 Year Anniversary Teaser

I didn't quite make my deadline, so enjoy a teaser trailer! Thank you to everyone for supporting while I work on these <3

We Hit 5K???

You're all amazing, and I want to drop a quick thank you! Allison mom is visiting at the moment so I'm too busy to make a long post, but holy crap everybody! The sleep stream is coming soon, and probably some more VFX streams as well, and I'm so excited to start really getting into the specials.

Thank you all so so much!!

How I make movies with no money

I hope this is interesting at ALL. I had fun making it, but I also don't sleep, so I'm clearly insane. Special thanks to CassandrasChaos for helping me with the writing and Back Door for helping with the editing! If you're not following Back Door's channel yet, be sure to check it out!

When do you prefer to pay for subscriptions?

Hi everyone! Patreon keeps informing me that they're implementing this small change, and I wanted to run it by some people here before I make a decision:

Basically, due to some dumb nonsense with iPhones, Patreon wants to switch over to "Subscription Billing," which just means that instead of being charged around the beginning of each new month, people will be charged on the day of the mo...

Excited to learn what sleeping is like.

zzZZZzzzzz ?

Civ 7: No Workers

They're removing the builders from Civ 7, so it's time for another round! This video feels extra authentic because I shot it alone in the wood and then had to learn a new editing and vfx software, just like the good 'ol days.

Just in time to lead into the Door Monster 10-Year Anniversary - a new temporary tier is available to get your name credited as a producer on the specials starting i...

I stayed up too late finding the most high value video game romance

It's late August, and you know what that means - it's time for a video game dating tier list! Boy did I put too much work into this. Also missed some podcast uploads, whoops.

Anyway, love you! Thanks for watching <3

Let me talk about your project in a Door Monster video!

So I'm currently doing this whole sponsor shopping thing again, where I dig through the emails of whoever included me in their mass outreach campaign and try to decide which mobile game I'll be least bummed to talk about in the middle of a video in exchange for some extra cash. This tends to make the video seem more worth spending three days of no sleep on, but also makes those three days signi...

Episode 30 - Our Dumb Pretentious Movie Opinions

Kyle, Allison, and Matt talk about editing software and TV shows they like and dislike! Riveting stuff!

Meant to upload this last week but got busy with other stuff, apologies for the skip!

How movies are STILL failing Mystery?

I'm back, and I watched Fallout this time! Thanks to everyone for supporting these new videos! I also have a podcast to put up, I just forgot because I've been editing this for days, but that's coming soon.

Episode 29 - Do You See What I See?

Kyle, Allison, and Matt talk about their experiences with mental visualization, and then they try to answer basic history questions.

Thanks to all the new Patrons!

We've gotten like a hundred new people just since the last video! Welcome and thank you so much for support, it's so encouraging! As I type this, I'm at a coffee shop about to get back to writing the next video, which I'm aiming to have up around Thursday next week. It's about delayed payoff in movies and television, and is partially a response to the Fallout comments from last time. I am watch...

Why don't characters react anymore? (Video Essay)

I made a new long-form video essay, and it's like 30 whole minutes somehow! Digging up all those clips is way more work than I thought.

I'm gonna make another post about this, but to soft-launch the idea, I'd really love to start putting in ad spots in these, but I hate all the available mobile games and shitty products, so I wanted to ask - do you have something you want advertised? A b...

Episode 28 - Civil War Vibes

It's the birth of a new podcast! Matt joins again to vaguely talk about history, and we decide to just keep doing more of that going forward, so stay tuned!

Introducing CopyKyle! (Shark Tank Pitch)

I reuploaded the CopyKyle video to the main channel today, so just a fun reminder that it exists! I'll be reuploading the other two from Studio in short order, and also doing some fun stuff with other old videos like some remasterings and compilations.

Episode 27 - Uncle Matt

Weekly podcasts are coming back to Patreon! This week it's Oops! All Tangents, but next week it'll be the exact same thing but called History Flunkies, cause we primarily talk about history stuff. Matt has joined Kyle and Allison in New York! We talk about abacuses and living in buses.

Technically Not Tyranny

The hit single from Crusader Kings 3: The Musical! It's not worth $3, but Patreon wouldn't let me go any lower, and it supports more Door Monster videos, so your call really!

Kyle Talks (Target and Burnout)

Hi! It's just me checkin in and talkin! I've been busy lately and didn't want to leave everyone hanging, but I don't have sketch or anything ready, so I thought I'd try something easy. Please feel free to ask questions, related to this video or not, and I can post more videos with even more talking! Huzzah.

Shadows of Doubt Live Stream

Yesterday's stream went immediately off the rails and resulted in one of the funniest hours of my recent life, so in case you missed it, please enjoy. I will very likely be doing more of these, so stay tuned.
