Soulcalibur Roster

Hard at work on my Soulcalibur Roster Retrospective video and I'm going all in.

I even made a title card for each character to introduce their sections! :D

Back up and running!

Morning, folks!

Laptop is back from the shop this week and all fixed up :)

I have been busying away making some new thumbs for existing videos to give them kind of a "signature" look.

And hey, here's four new thumbs just for you guys to let you know what I am working on right now!

Hoping to get Do...

Unexpected Hiatus

Hi folks!

Just in case you missed the bad news - my laptop has clonked out and so I currently have no way of making or editing videos :(

I will be back up and running in the future when I can get it fixed, but sadly that costs money and at the minute all my money is going into the house move.

Hoping to be...

Summer Update

Hello friends!

Just a little update here to say I'm currently working on two videos: Low Poly Summer (a celebration of sunny fifth and sixth gen games) and also one pretty darned big video that I do not know when it will be done.

This is to say that if I go a little quiet and drop off the radar for a while in-be...

Talking about every character in Power Stone

A little rundown of every character in Power Stone replete with plenty of talk about vibes and aesthetics.

This one will hit the Youtubes tomorrow but I wanted to make sure you guys got it tonight!

June Update

Hello fellow enjoyers!

As you might know, I am currently in the process of moving house so probably no videos this month but hoping to get Power Stone and Garou finished and up sometime in July :)

And in case you were curious, these are all the thumbs for ideas I have right now. Leaning towards doing Dolphin Blu...

Wild Riders Review

It's been at least five minutes since I last talked about cel-shading

A New Look

Messing around today trying to make the Dreamcast Enjoyer character pop a little bit more, so I threw in some thick black outlines ala Jet Set Radio (and fixed the t-shirt fit so there is no more conspicuous lack of neck)

Also a few different decor set-ups for my office here... bonus points if you can spot all the refe...

And another poll!

Whilst we're at it, which game would you like to see me review next?

I'm fixing to play all of these over the summer so I'll want to chat about them for sure!

Please help me choose a topic! :)

I love a good topic video and I have quite a few ideas rolling around in my head at the moment.

It's likely I will just end up talking about all of these things in due course, but if you have a moment please go ahead and vote for the idea you find most interesting!

(I am working on the Dreamcast music video as a...

A Positive Update :)

Hi All,

Just wanted to let you know I've found some space to do a lot of recording this week and so now I have the audio commentary done for several videos: just need to edit together some footage and soundtracks for them. With this in mind, I can confirm the summer schedule for the channel will look like this:

Schedule Update

Hello there, fellow enjoyers!

As you've probably noticed, these last few months I've not been able to get videos out with the frequency I'd hope for, and unfortunately it's now looking like my output will be quite sporadic for the foreseeable.

Don't worry I'm certainly not closing the channel down or...

Musical Opinions Wanted :)

Hello out there, fellow enjoyers!

I need your help :)

So, basically, I have started to write the script for my "Dreamcast Type Beats" video which is all about the musical identity of the console. I'm trying to find the tracks that really capture that clean, futuristic "blue skies" type feel.

Problem is... ...

March Update

Hi All,

Just a little update to let you know what's going on over here at Jank HQ.

Nice news over on Youtube as we've just hit 4k on the channel which is very nice. Other than that I'm working hard on scripts and footage for a few different videos:

- Vibes of Arcadia

- Dreamcast Type Beats

- B...

Vibes of Arcadia

Just started work on this script.

Basically a detailed look at all the cozy towns and stuff in Skies of Arcadia :)

Does Shenmue still slap?

Here's the full video :)

Sadly I will have to remove one of the songs when it hits YouTube due to demonetisation 

Shenmue - Part 1 of 3

I am busying away editing this Shenmue video for the Youtubes which will hopefully drop in the next couple of weeks, but wanted to share my current progress with you guys :)

So far I have done the first part, which is all about the vibes and exploring.

The next section will be all about the combat system and the...

February Update

Hello, folks!

Just a little update here to tell you what I'm working on and when it should be with you 😊

Shenmue (March) - this will be a detailed review of the first game plus the Japan-exclusive "What's Shenmue" demo. I've finished the script and recorded all the footage so now just need to edit.

Lac...

'Hmm... I know this.'

Starting to edit together this Shenmue video and naturally the first order of business is to make a bunch of silly sketches :)

Wanted Dead: A Love Letter to Sixth Gen Action

If you miss the old "pick up and play" vibe of old action games (before the days of crafting systems and open world hoo-hah) then you need to check this one out.

Also, it's janky as hell :)

Bring back Burning Rangers

Some more chat about one of my favourite Sonic Team games.

This will be our January video and then currently scheduled to follow we got:

Making thumbnails is my new hobby

Schedule Update

OK, so, the schedule is gonna be a little less this year than I had hoped, but I'll still do my best to bring you some fun and interesting videos! :)

I had made a schedule of 3 videos per month, but that was when I was off work and hopped up on Christmas juice so maybe it was a little over-ambitious! 

Unfort...

Thanks for your support this year! :)

2024 Video Schedule

Here's a sneak peek at next year's schedule, folks.

I've tried to get a good selection of iconic Dreamcast games in there to celebrate the 25th anniversary year, but I've also chucked in a few essays and non-DC games just to keep things varied!

Looking forward to sharing these with you all :)

Now with added discussion of Sega's shock Jet Set Radio announcement :)
