Nichijou!

You guys made this happen. You should give yourselves a round of applause - preferably for an uncomfortably long time while standing in a circle in a big white void.


I've been up all night. I have no idea what I'm even saying. Time to pass out. Enjoy the video.

Anime Night Tomorrow, Game Stream (Tentatively) Monday

It's coming up on the end of the month, and as promised, tomorrow at 6:00 I'm going to be watching Golden Boy with everyone who's pledged $10 and above. The pertinent information on where to go for that will be posted then (since I have to start the stream first).


Also, the game night stream will be happening monday, and I'm sorry about that taking so dang long. I'd like to have made ...

The Witness Speedrun Challenge

Since I finally have the ability to post unlisted videos back, here's something I wanted to share with you guys a few weeks ago. Mainly because I'm so damn proud of beating this and getting platinum in this super hard game. Sorta spoilers for the witness ahead (though the puzzles are random, so without mechanical context it won't ruin much for you).

Why BokuMachi is so damn good

Since making my What's in a Scene video, I've continued to think about Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi, like, a LOT. The show does so many things well that it's hard to pinpoint just one thing that makes it great. As a thriller, its ability to build and pay off tension is nearly peerless. As a mystery, the way it creates a breadcrumb trail of clues is super satisfying and gives you a lot to think about...

Back from MAGfest. Back To Work

Hey all, sorry for the lack of communication in the last few days. Without a proper laptop my interactions with youtube and patreon are a little limited while traveling. 

  

Speaking of traveling, MAGfest was a blast, but there's work to be done. I have to polish off Nichijou and Dirty Pair posthaste, so I'm gonna be spending the next few days binging on anime to get ...

I left my basement to see deadpool

I might do more of these quickie things in the future. They don't take much time and they're kinda fun to make.

Despite everything, Today has been a damn good day (2nd Milestone State of the Basement Address)

Things that happened today that I don't want to dwell on:

I got a copyright strike on a video that's very plainly Fair Use, which sucks. On the other hand...

The first suggestion Poll!

EDIT: the fifth option is supposed to be Re : Cutie Honey, not Re: Dirty Pair. I feel dumb. 

Alright folks, it's time for the most important vote you'll make in 2016: what anime OP do you want to see me cover this month? Five patrons have kicked in at or above the 15 dollar mark, so you've got four anime (and one game) to choose from. Cast your votes on this here straw poll:

What's your favourite anime so far this season (aside from ERASED)?

So there's one BIG anime in winter 2016 that everyone seems to be watching, and for good reason. ERASED is flippin fantastic. But there are plenty of other shows out there that may not be getting their due. So I'm curious - aside from ERASED, what are you all keeping up with, and what keeps you coming back to it?

January 30th Anime Episode Thoughts

it can be a little tough for me to find time to watch anime, so I tend to do it all in bursts over the course of a couple days each week. Today I watched the latest episodes of Rakugo, GATE, Haikyuu, PS02, and Utawarerumono. Here are my (brief) thoughts on those things.


 GATE: I feel like I enjoy this show more in concept than I do in execution. When it chooses to focus on...

One Milestone Down

Holy Mackerel! 7 hours ago I was NOT anticipating that I'd be writing about passing a milestone today. You guys are incredible and I love you.


So as of now I don't have to worry about adobe costs, replacing lights, or paying for dinner when I film. Which is huge, but where do we go from here? What will the 500 dollar milestone bring us?


Well, I have some rad as heck friends ...
