Hello Patrons!
Today, I discuss why robust game critique is more valuable (and needed) than ever, why evaluating the quality of art based on sales and mainstream popularity is short sighted, how indie games also struggle to not give into design by economics, why nothing seems to stand out anymore, how art gains value ov...

Today is a seminal episode of the Patreon Podcast where I talk about leaving my full time job of six years (and 10 in the office world) and how hollow and empty that experience has been and how much repressed venom I have running through my system after feeling locked up in an office all that time and being underestimated by ...

I have returned from Chicago! Today's episode I think is an interesting one because I had such a great time in Chicago and I do go over my trip a bit and meeting everyone and having fun at the Galloping Ghost Arcade. But upon my return home I've been filled with a really powerful restlessness and sense of purpose where I have...

Hi everyone! As I mentioned in the last podcast ep, I plan on going full time as a youtuber this September (YAY). And since I will be going full time then, I will be revamping the patreon to be more robust and one of the projects is adding a $10 tier. Which I have not done up to this point because I want the 10 tier to be leg...

HI everyone!
This is a pretty landmark ep of the patreon podcast, at least for me personally, where I discuss my goal to go full-time as a youtuber around September 1st of this year and I end up recapping a lot of surprisingly personal feelings about taking the next step forward in my youtubing/creative career -- this b...

Hi Beautiful Patrons!
I have this really cool T-Shirt design by Han, the creator of the DOJ fan film, that he and I collaborated on. I'm calling it "Battle Berserk."

I just had an idea for new content for the Patreon, a reaction vid segment. Here's the basic idea. Every month I allow the shmup illuminati to put in requests for stuff for me to react to - games, movies, whatever that's not political or DRAMA, and then I take all the suggestions and randomly select 5 of th...
