(Sorry about the double-post, I had the settings on the first poll wrong! Should be fixed now.)
It's time for a survey! We've dipped into a lot of neat games as one-offs over the last couple years, many of which I could see returning to eventually. But I'm curious to know which of these games you folks would be most excited to see become full playthroughs someday.

2023-08-27 16:39:05 +0000 UTC View PostIt's been a while since we did a patron survey like this!
I've got a long list of games I eventually want to feature on PlayFrame, but I also like to check in with you patrons now and then to get a better read on the sorts of games you'd be most excited to see.
So if you have any games you'd like to see appear on PlayFrame someday, 2023-06-25 17:17:14 +0000 UTC View Post
I think we've managed to find the world's most unmake-able decision, team.
500+ of you goobers managed to be perfectly split down the middle on this choice (understandably), so I guess the decision defaults back to me. XD
Our new holiday tradition (trial run) will be 2022-12-10 19:09:14 +0000 UTC View Post
For many years, we've had this tradition of playing Katamari games on christmas week. And this was a good tradition.
Then we ran out of good Katamari games. So now we need a new tradition.
My original thought was "I've got it! Mario games." It's a solid new tradition candidate: it's peppy, it's nostalgic, it's full of opportunities for amusing failure, it's not supe...
2022-12-09 05:08:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe votes are in and it looks like the next bonus playthrough on the channel will be the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door! I had not anticipated this game would receive quite this enthusiastic a response, but I am very glad it did. I've been meaning to get into the Paper Mario series for ages.
The playthrough might start airing as soon as next week! I...

2022-12-01 16:36:56 +0000 UTC View PostA long time ago, back before PlayFrame was PlayFrame, there was a great battle (well, several of them). A series of competitive events spanning various multiplayer games pitting Dan vs Dan vs Dan in a contest for Dan Primacy.
Sometimes Dan won. Sometimes Dan won. Sometimes LeeLee won, which really threw a wrench in the whole premise. But the annual battles raged until, one day, the Dan ar...

I have quite a few potential ideas in mind:
I want to try out a weird video idea and need help picking a game to do it with!
To explain:
As a person who works in video games for a living, it's often helpful (and, at this point, reflexive) to study the craft of any game I play while I'm playing it. To try to figure out how systems are working under the hood, to guess as to the design intentions behi...

We'd like to try something out!
Short Version:
Starting March 7th, we're going to try changing Wednesday's regular episode slot to a "Free Space" slot. This will be a place for sampling new releases, trying interesting indie games or just playing whatever else Dan happens to be in the mood to try that week!

I know we just did a poll yesterday, but I'm curious of your opinion!
Historically, we've favored doing complete playthroughs on PlayFrame, sticking with a game until we manage to hit the end credits. We don't finish EVERY game we start, obviously, and some playthroughs get put on hiatus from time to time, but we finish these games more often than not.
However, one do...

If we ever did a Pokémon Nuz-lite run on the channel, what rules would make it the most fun? And which game in the series would be best for it?
I should probably explain... in this month's Q&A stream, someone asked if I'd ever consider attempting a Nuzlocke run on the channel (for the uninitiated: those are challenge runs where you can only catch one Pokémon per area and ...

The PlayFrame / New Frame Plus "studio" has been upgraded!
Our previous rig has been a reliable machine, but we've been using the thing nonstop since the early Extra Play days and it's starting to show its age.
