Heya folks. Got a few updates which come both as a result of life happenings, and just a few ways I want to change how how we're doing things here. Firstly, as mentioned in a previous video, I'm putting together a new PC since my partner will be taking the work laptop for college - it's a pretty decent set-up, so streaming may be in the cards soon. However, the build plus transferring all my work ...

I've always had somewhat of an uncomfortable relationship with my native accent, a worry that it will cause people to make assumptions about who I am. As such, when promos for the new Venom film went out and fans started up with some complaints about Eddie Brock's "unfitting" characterization as a rough-and-tumble Bronxite but also an educated journalist... I felt a little something. This...

As I said in my last notice, my Venom video essay is taking a bit longer than I had intended - not one to break the One Video a Week promise, however, I decided to do the next best thing in the meantime. What's that, you may ask? Oh, sitting down for like four hours and analyzing my old Sonic OC fancomic that I found from when I was 13, of course! A rare glimpse into the world of late 2000s ...
2018-08-11 13:19:08 +0000 UTC View PostHeya folks,
Hope everybody's doing well! Chiming in today with some regret - for a variety of reasons, getting this week's video essay done within the week has been an increasingly insurmountable task, which means it's unlikely to make it in by the usual Saturday deadline. A silver lining is that at least some of this is down to the scope of the thing - this should be one of the longer ones and ...
2018-08-09 18:50:41 +0000 UTC View PostHowdy, Party People. Just a couple of notices on this fine Sunday.
First thing is a bit overdue, but basically just a prompt to check and make sure everything is fine with your payment options - apparently some technical hiccup last week meant a bunch of people falsely got their cards declined, so give it a check as otherwise your pledges won't go through.
Finally, a tease of next we...

Can't deny I have some anxiety publishing this one, easily the most I've had since getting this channel going. Speaking honestly, whenever I approach these kinds of hazy issues I always have this thought in the back of my head like there's some fundamental thing I'm completely missing that's going to make me look like an idiot once the content's out there - got it with PlaneBae, got it with James ...

There are few things more frustrating to me than 'nuanced' takes on political issues that basically amount to "So you see, both sides have contributed to this problem". That's taken itself to the Nth degree with the James Gunn situation, in which a dishonest right-wing actor has displayed a pattern of behaviour in deliberating mischaracterising and lying about his opponents to exploit so-called 'c...

Hey, folks. Sorry this isn't the big meaty content you might have been hoping for but being caught up helping someone with a big move over Tuesday and Wednesday just made it unrealistic for me to get my 20-something minute long Fallout 3 video essay done by Friday. This content being short and snappy does, however, mean I got a head-start on it, so you can all look forward to your next piece of "R...

Howdy. So I think what I might start doing is having the standard 'video release' blog always be public since they're not really "rewards" - I'm basically just casually running down what the vid is and maybe a bit of my thought process going into it. Instead, I think I'll start including a little 'bonus' blog entry exclusive to Patrons, released shortly after each video, where I go in-depth either...

New vid, y'all. This is probably the biggest essay-style vid I've done on this channel, the first since Captain Spirit that I've actually had to think about editing because I can't just play off sloppy work as a deliberate joke. Which isn't to say the editing in this isn't sloppy, just... I tried, okay?
Decided to analyse the recent #PlaneBae drama, which you can easily get caught up on with a G...

Still trying to get into the swing of things on weekly videos, me and Brit decided to go for a fun one with this light jab and the increasingly finicky Spyro Reignited fanbase - and more generally, at people's growing unwillingness to come to terms with change and growth. Never tell me I can't shoehorn politics into everything I do!
Will also start writing more in-depth blog posts ove...
