Hello! We have a new bonus feature for you. This is the most substantial bonus feature we've ever made. It consists of a four-hour moderated discussion about the production of 'Action Button Pictures Presents "LOS ANGELES NOIRE"'. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I don't want to hype it up too much, nor do I want to...

Hello everyone. I premiered the new Action Button Video on YouTube. It's running now. It just sort of happened--sorry for no advance notice. It's just, if I didn't get this thing out I didn't know when it was going to happen. I had been sittin...

Hello! I thought I'd provide everyone an update on the status of Action Button video productions.
For those unwilling to read the fullness of this post, consider this paragraph the short version: work continues, full-time. I have not spent a weekday NOT working on these videos since my last post. Yes, I know that was al...

Hello my friends! It's been a while! Work continues on the next six videos in this series (collectively, "Action Button Season Two"). And it excites me to announce that the next video--Action Button Season Two Episode One--nears the final stages of editing.

Hello! A little over a month has passed since Action Button Season One ended. I now feel comfortable talking about Action Button Season Two.
Action Button Season Two will feature a remarkably different style than Action Button Season One. In summary, the videos will each aspire more to the c...

I was about to announce this on Twitter when I realized I needed to announce it here first--out of dedication to my earlier proclamation that this blog page here serves The Real Stuff, and also for consistency's sake: ACTION BUTTON REVIEWS Cyberpunk 2077 is finished.

Short version: no more roadblocks (creativity requirements, etc) on the video editing work. Hoping to launch the video early August. Reason for delay: this one's huge (by multiple standards), and also I've been coordinating Season Two. Big Stuff in the works. New Hire coming on for next project. A few vague words on the impor...

Well, ACTION BUTTON REVIEWS TOKIMEKI MEMORIAL (1994) is exporting.

Hello! I have finished editing Action Button Reviews PAC-MAN. The runtime is . . . well, it's in six separate sequences that need to be stitched together before exporting, so I don't know the exact length. I think it's a tiny bit under three hours, this time--sorry!--though purists can rest ...

As you watch Action Button Reviews, you may find yourself occasionally wondering, "Does anyone have any FUN making these?"

I just finished editing the DOOM review video. Wow--three hours and several minutes of blood-packed HUGE guts. I am not sure if I've ever made anything as complicated as this video.

HELLO.
The (four(?)-hour, six-part) Action Button Review of DOOM (1993) is currently being edited!

Hello!! Well, I banked real hard on having this video exported and uploaded and processed and set to "live" at 11:59pm Pacific Time today as a wonderful (and hilarious) joke about the definition of "Monday," though I've absolutely hit a wall of sleep-needfulness :-(

Editing is currently underway for the Action Button Review of THE LAST OF US, with a running time of Two Hours, Two Minutes, and 37 Seconds.

I'm sorry, everyone . . . I finished the video.
It's three hours, eighteen minutes, and 43 seconds long--though admittedly the last ten minutes of that is the on-camera special thanks and epilogue segment. So let's say it's three hours and eight minutes long.
