Merry Christmas, dungeoneers! I know this one took a while. Tried to make it special. I did not intend for it to be 45 minutes long, so it's the video for December, unless I've done some crazy thing where I came up with a new patron-only series of shorts that I'll start releasing to you in the near future.
I might try another upload of this at some point because I'm not happy with w...

Did a quick video about Perilous Warp, a thing I've wanted to do for a while because I find the game fascinating. It's not a ton of stuff to talk about but the aesthetics and design of the game are strangely unique for a throwback.
This is a small episode I decided to put in before starting on the Christmas stuff. Because there aren't really good Christmas games to cover (don't link me ...
There's no Star Wars this November - no movies, no shows, nothing, and if The Mouse won't step up, I will. Good lord this one was a pain to get done as you might have guessed with this one taking a little longer than usual. There's a lot of copyrighted music in this game. None of it got claimed in my test uploads but the midi version of the Star Wars theme that was originally runni...

Yes, YES! It's Halloween, it's jank, it's a breath of fresh air for me, by god it feels like it's been ages since we've dug down deep for that real shit. The janktastic, so-bad-it's-amazing, Halloween spectacular, can you all feel it? Torment, boob-stakes, hilarious faces, all of these await you in this game which was, believe it or not, requested quite a bit over the last year. It was recommen...

It's October, and that means spooky stuff!
I've wanted to cover this game for the longest time. I've also wanted to do a point-and-click again for less than the longest time but still a while. The last one was Blade Runner which was in January. Of 2020.
Scratches is one of those games I still have a physical copy of. The deformed jewel case in the video is a real pictur...
HOOOOOOOO WE GOT THE ORC GIRL HERE, we got Hedon, finally! I was gonna do a video on the first one when I played it a few months ago but then the second one was coming out at the end of August, and then it did, and that turned out to be even bigger and more complicated than I ever imagined (but in the best way.) Really brings out the bloodlust when you're on the 10th try of a room that keeps ge...

Fuck it, let's do some more Half-Life!
Opposing Force was a blast to make a video for and Blue Shift was so goddamned boring I spent half of that segment doing whatever, you know? I know there aren't constant Randy jokes but honestly I don't know which levels he worked on so it's more difficult to bring him up.
I'm trying to squeeze in one more video before Oc...
The tide is high and the end is nigh! Hark! The boomshoot market is oversaturated and I'm a dry paper towel ready to soak up the mess! I've come here to look at some of the demos I could scrape up after the 4 and 1 half hour marathon of trailers and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of trailers! Witness the Monster Energy product placement, watching as the recently-bought 3D Realms breathes it's ...

I know, I know, people have been asking for a while for this one, and I... well, I was waiting for Thursday to be less janky. This was the wrong strategy because Thursday seemed to keep getting more jank with each patch to the point that it goes well beyond the "slightly less janky alpha" status from previous videos. Kinda sad, kinda shit, but also I got tons of material from the game being so ...

Everyone online was discussing this game recently and this video still happened by accident. It was Plan C after Plans A and B fell through. Plan A was Postal 4 Thursday, which was actually too janky for me to make a proper video on, though now it's patched so fingers crossed.
Felt nice to do something a little different because 90% of requests are FPS games and the other 10% are cereal r...

What kind of game is good but can also drive you to the heights of madness?
Cruelty Squad was highly, highly requested because it's insane nonsense im-sim weirdness with just a hint of jank. A light sprinkling of jank, a whiff to acclimate the palate. I love this game, but that love didn't come easy. It required a dedication to playing through it and the knowledge that it would...
I may have gone a little crazy with this one. Originally I'd planned to make Half-Life or Redneck Rampage a 300k special but got impatient and said to myself "eh, 300k? I'd rather wait until 500k to make another special" and then I ended up going absolutely hog wild on this video and spending a good three weeks on it to make it "special." Even if it isn't an hour long, I hope the work shines th...

This one took a while. I never want a video to be 40+ minutes long, but then there's an abundance of context-necessary cutscenes, and then I had to get into all the Prey 2 stuff at the end, and Killian Samuels, due to his failure to exist in a published video game, has no legs. Thanks, Bethesda!
I really enjoy Prey. Strange, since I played it one time around when it was released and for...
Greasy Cursed Randy Episode isn't all that bad unless you're playing it the way it was released in that weird port. However, the community came together to allow it to be played in EDuke32 (with the stopgap version) and now also in the newer port, Raze, which I'm glad I got to do a video using that because it's pretty good. All these build engine ports now!
The end of the video spoils t...
This video... man...
This video is cursed. Right before the edit was done, my PC nuked itself from some kind of incomprehensible driver conflict or registry corruption, which required a re-install of Windows and formatting the C Drive.
I didn't lose anything important because the video itself (the project files, game capture, etc) were all on different drives. It set me back ...

Dearest patrons, I cannot thank you all enough. I was working on this extras video for the last couple days thinking I'd just put it out there and be done with it until I woke up to the notification that we'd hit 5K!
So I guess this video can double as a 5k celebration. I decided after the last one that the next time I put one of these together I'd put a bit more effort into it than...

Another video that took way more time than I expected. I wanted to one-shot the whole cursed series. I've never been a fan of Redneck Rampage and have no nostalgia for it. The last time I played through it was in DOSBox in like 2010, and I didn't care for it then either. Rides Again is better but.... ehhhhh... I'm glad it's over now. Some people in the discord got a sneak peak of this in it's r...

HAPPY EARLY APRIL FOOL'S VIDEO.
This is a thing I've been putting together on and off for about a year. I wanted to do an April Fool's video last year too but then Doom Eternal happened. Because of that, I decided to do something a little unorthodox for this one. Y'know, get weird with it. I recreated a mythical game that never existed. One that can't actually exist since the NES ve...

Everyone keeps asking "how can you get enough material out of Wolfenstein 3D for a video?"
Well, for one, playing with a stupid self-imposed challenge helps. People don't realize that there are some tricks and traps in Wolf3D that are interesting to discuss. Some levels aren't just mazes. In fact, the more mazelike ones are in Spear of Destiny and moreso in the Spear of Destiny m...

If you're looking for the Patreon discord link it's in this post, and all update posts, below me rambling about stuff. Why not do the integration? Because it's weird and buggy and I don't like to tie patreon discord membership to current patrons only. If you paid, you're in.

It turns out that you can't even use the Sega Genesis version of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" in a video without YouTube catching it. Oh well. I saw someone on the patron discord (link for that is below all of this nonsense, and has been since the beginning, I don't know why I was surprised that people couldn't find it) playing this game and it spoke to me. It said all of the wrong thing...

FINALLY CIVVIE DID THE THING. THE HALF-LIFE VIDEO.
This one did take a while because, uh, well it's an hour, has a cameo, and I spent a lot of time tweaking it to try to make it as concise and to-the-point as possible. That does mean that I don't spend 20 minutes shitting on Xen, but I think I get my point across. Fuck Xen.

Along with that, I've got another quick "Deleted Scenes/Behind the Scenes" video. I've been ...

It's about time I did more Blood. Death Wish has been in the pipeline for a while and what better time to do it than October? Death Wish is more horror than OG Blood was, especially in episode 3.
