3 video essays DONE!!!
And thus, the promise is fulfilled. The writing streak I was on the last few months has lead to a whopping three video essays this October, all themed in some way around the evil holiday spirit, two of them overhaul...

And that's another video in the bag!
I'll lift the curtain on this one a little- I announced I'd been writing a lot and had another, longer, video planned for this month. This is actually not that video. That one is still happening, but actually turned out too long to really do in the time I had planned, so, in a mad dash of inspiration rewatching Scream, I in...

See, I told you I'd been productive!!
It's another short video, this time covering a game I played and loved last year, Crow Country, and detailing how it leverages its existence as a Retro title to say something big about the future. I had most of this script done last year, but it was written very close to the end of Halloween and , as work on everything else...

Tadaa! The first of the short video's I've been working on, a quick look at Donkey Kong Bananza, and its incredible final boss, an hour-long setpiece I just had to gush about.
As you can see this one's pretty quick and dirty, deliberately so- not long after the Thunderbolts Video was done I buried my head in some video games to try and re-foc...

So the last two months ended up being really, really productive.
I didn't properly update in August for a couple of reasons- the main one being that I was deciding on the order to release my behind the scenes content for the first episode of ...

With the first episode complete, it’s time to let you guys know how this project came to be, starting with this write up detailing my experience making The Thunderbolts Story, a video series where I go through the history of the comic to a certain point and discuss not only w...

Apologies for the late update- has been quite a difficult month, not just decompressing from the release of the video and starting on plans for what's next here or there, but also dealing with a lot of personal events in my private life, both good and bad, that were always going to take priority. We're on the other side of all that now though, so I can really get back to ever...

And lo, 'tis done.
Guys, thank you so, so much for your support and patience over the incredibly long time it's taken me to create this. Every month I found myself deeply grateful there were so many people who were willing to back this project and see it happen, and while I always worried about whether I would live up to expectations, I never stopped appreciating that others wanted to ...

A final update on the Thunderbolts Stories first episode- I'll keep this brief.
I have three pieces of art that I'm waiting on- which are all over halfway complete and should be with me extremely soon (their edits are prepped already with placeholders). There are some tiny bumps I'm ironing out- premiere is running slower with the full file and tweaks...

Hey gang!
I know, I know, I haven’t quite made the deadline, but man, did I try.
What you’re looking at here is almost a full video, about 85% done- but we’re still missing some key elements that are not only leaving it feel unfinished, but sloppily thrown...

Let’s start with the big news- Episode one of the Thunderbolts Story is in the edit bay.
What does this really mean? Well-
All the planned excerpt scenes are in there.
All my narration audio ...

Not a huge update this month- honestly, every day has once again been spent on creating The first Thunderbolts video, and largely on creating the voice acted sequences.
Last month we were at 25 complete scenes, and that nu...

Hi gang!
A lot going on at B-Towers at the moment, largely on the Thunderbolts project. This has lead to a lack of video this month, but it's all been to the benefit of getting this project completed, as you'll see in the rundown of what i've been up to below (without giving anything big away, of course!).

Hey Gang!
That’s another year down. 2025 is fast approaching, which makes this a good time to look back on what I’ve done so far and everything I plan to do next. Was a fairly up and down year, worked on a lot while not hitting every target, but I think a lot of good progress was made and figured it might be a good idea to frame this around those achi...

This year I was attempting to create and upload a video essay I've been wanting to do for a while- About the Operatic nature of The Nightmare Before Christmas. I spent 4 weeks pushing myself to make it happen before the 24th and had everything ready to go, when I got hit not just with expected copyright claims, but a full on worldwi...

While I’ve had less out than I wanted, I’m reaching the end of the year with a good productive feeling thanks to a lot of long held ideas finally getting realised. It’s been an extremely busy couple of months and there’s been a lot of good and exciting news behind the scenes, so I just want to get into all that before the overall wrap-up post at the end of ...

Whew. Promises upon promises have finally lead us to the eventual follow up to my original Better Call Saul video! I'm only sorry this wasn't closer to the time it first released- just needed, between all my other planned projects, to properly unpack my feelings and give this the sendoff I felt it deserved. Really hope this lands for those who were waiting- and if you haven't seen the sh...

Heya Gang!
Quite a bit of work going on this month, though it hasn't resulted in a video. The timeline you're seeing here is for the Better Call Saul video- which was going really smoothly, until I lost confidence a bit with the second half, which didn't quite ring t...

A very happy and productive month, as you've probably been able to tell!
First of all a huge thanks to those who came to support this channel after the Thunderbolts update video was released. As discussed in the last update the final script was almost locked, and as of this month I'll be starting the final recording sessions&n...

Well hey! I know, a bit of a surprise- this was one of the drafts I hammered out a while back, actually based on another draft I was intending to release ages ago but never quite got around to finishing. Something about the recent appearance of Rayman in both the Mario/Rabbids game and the Laserhawk animation sort of re-opened the conversation in my mind, and I felt it was worth just fina...

Hi everyone! As promised in my last update, this is a commentary I recently recorded for my 2020 Vide Essay 'We are the Fantastic Four'. This was an interesting one to record for me, where you can hear me trying to keep up with my own pace and then slowly open up and pace myself as I remember putting it together, and even get a little tearful by the end. I'm very happy that I still feel t...

Short update for the past month- a very quick rundown of where everything’s at right now.
One! The script for the final episode of the Thunderbolts series, at long last, has a completed draft, which I spent quite a bit of this month intensely working with finish alongside all the advice I could get from close friends working on the...

First of all, I'm so thrilled for all of you to finally know the project I've been dutifully working on since 2021.

Hey Folks!
With my Thunderbolts project finally announced, I feel I can show you some more of the behind the scenes work that went into putting it together, starting with the trailer itself and the original rough cut from way back in October 2022.
This was when most of the series had been mapped out to the five episodes as complete drafts, wit...

At long last, you know the answer.
Having begun work on reading the entire series not long after finishing the Fantastic Four video, and then slowly turning it into something much bigger, I really didn't want to give away what I was creating until I was truly ready to start bringing it to life- but now, you can all know what it is I've been working towards.

Not the most exciting update, but not because things haven't been busy, quite the opposite- this month, I booked myself a huge amount of recording sessions with actors for the Marvel project, closing in on all the first episode's dialogue, none of which I can really talk about yet without giving too much away. Still, it's going extremely well, an...

Yes, we're back to talking about Fargo, and this time we're covering the latest season- which covers domestic abuse, the political schism occurring within the last few generations, all forms of societal debt and, oddly enough, how it ends up offering the happiest message of them all.

Since last time we spoke things have been way better than I expected. I was working on multiple drafts last month and two of them made it to audio files- but one, I felt, was doing better than the other, and I locked into that and got it into the edit bay to finish, even with a birthday trip inbetween. That was the Inspector Gadget 2 video ...

Surprise! Of the two short videos I had ready to edit, this was the one that came together the fastest, a video on Inspector Gadget 2, and while I wanted it out a little earlier I felt it needed some extra polish. Yes, another video where we talk about a silly movie and I knock a few points off my credibility scale, but not without making some wider points about adaptatio...
