It's been a while since we've checked in on Action Forms, Ukrainian jankromancers who have yet to disappoint me with their resourcefulness and dedication to making me scratch my head hard enough to have bald patches. I wanted to check out Cryostasis because people told me it was the best Action Forms game. And it was. For com...

I've been waiting for so long to get to Life of the Party, a level so massive and so damn impressive that I could dedicate an entire episode to it. Thief doesn't get any more Thief-y than this. A quick, mostly chill video about larceny that is almost completely murderless. I would say the video is 95...

We've got a special! And I do mean special, because this is the longest video I've ever put out, eclipsing the Blood 2 Rawmaster by about seven minutes. A lot needed to be discussed because Epic sucks, Unreal is great, Return to Na Pali is hilarious, and it's about time I concluded the stupid lore bits I've been spri...

Happy New Year!
Yes, it's more Thief, because I'll be damned if I let this series die. I started it at the worst possible time - September - so that it would be pre-empted by holiday-themed videos for months. Hopefully that's over and we can start doing one of these in between every other release. I expect there's...

Last year, while making Ludichristmas II: The Revenjank, I was shocked that I didn't have time to tackle the second video I wanted to put out in December where I played the good Postal Christmas mod. The one that I could kinda-sorta tie into a revenge plot from the bad Postal Christmas mod. One that was weird not because of b...

You asked for it! No, really, a shocking number of people have asked about Quake 4, like really a metric "shit-tonne." So, I dusted it off and completed my first playthrough of the game since ~2006 and made a video. The video only really came together around the fifth day of editing when I decided to cut signif...

The pseudo-monthly patreon-only hit series seen by thousands returns! You know what's fun? Blood. Blood is fun. I missed Blood. Maybe I always miss Blood. Deep down in the warm, fuzzy places I don't like to talk about, nothing can quite compare to the feeling of successfully clearing a room in Blood, where you lead with explo...

I don't think I'll ever start a series in September again. Once October comes and the spookfest begins, you won't be able to get back to it. Luckily, it was a Thief series, so nobody was asking about it.
Now, after many attempts to make these videos more watchable, I relent! In this case, go ahead, watch this ...

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
Halloween approaches. In the mad dash to get out some spooky videos, it seemed like it would be CRIMINAL to overlook Cultic in that shuffle. So this video will actually go public on Halloween, which is a terrible idea. No one is going to be watching YouTube videos on H...
Welcome to the (probably) last video for spooky month - unless I can get the Cultic video together before Halloween.
What can I say about F.E.A.R. that hasn't already been said in other videos? I don't know. I didn't watch those other videos, but I'll confidently say things for 45 minutes anyway, as this is one ...
FUCK YEAH, KIDS, IT'S SPOOKY SEASON AGAIN! All those boomshoots that came out last month? Ignore them! I will not have this sacred time interrupted because 3D Realms did a three day show and everyone started releasing their own shooters en masse.
Go play Prodeus, though. Prodeus is awesome.
And so is ...
SOME OF YOU ASKED FOR IT. AND NOW YOU'RE GONNA GET IT.
Put your taffing hats and your tap shoes on, kids, we're going back to the dark, foreboding, dark fantasy world of "The City," where the only criminals in town who aren't locked up are Garrett and his lovelorn friend Basso the Boxman. Forget about zombies and burric...

It's been like forever and a year since the Wolfenstein 3D video and I'm not going to dedicate much time to Spear Of Destiny, and I'm going to devote even less time to the Spear expansions because they are beneath contempt. Not even showing the bats. This video is long enough as it is and I've hacked off about 5 minutes.

I want more Pro Blood!
We have Pro Blood at home.
Pro Blood at home:
Still catching up after the deluge. This was actually supposed to come out before the Chaser video did. It didn't exactly work out like that. Just like I was going to do Doom: No Rest For The Living next, like months ag...
It's that time again. As foretold by the oracles of jank, as written in the sky on the dying stars of a thousand cursed systems, a video game of such unfathomable horror came into my possession. Its motives alien to me, I sought to not just capture it for study, but to understand the most important of questions... why?
If ever there was a video to make while battling a non-covid sickness, fueled by cheap over-the-counter flu medicine and two hours of sleep per night, it had to be Postal: Brain Damaged.
This video was also the first one edited on my new PC. This is the first PC I've ever gotten that wasn't an emergency buy and I can ...
The Boom Shoot Toob has been fixed. The end is nigh.
It's roundup time again, kids, where I take a look at a gaggle of games from Next Fest and a couple others that were lost in the shuffle over the last couple of months.
I shamelessly copied and pasted the intro to Extraneum from the previous Patreon vide...
Please enjoy this video that was in production before DNF 2001 got leaked, which I'm sliding in here before I start to tackle the deluge of releases in June. Postal: Brain Damaged is the next thing coming up, followed by a roundup, where I play the most games ever featured in one video. I have at least 7 to look at, including...

Edit: this video has been updated to be more accurate and less shitty.
I brought a DNF 2001 video, as it shot to the very front of my production schedule. Old DOS platformer? NAH! Slavjank? We will get to it, and it's magical.
But DNF 2001 is, if not important, at least interesting, and most importantly, gli...

One for the road before I go dark for a couple weeks to do life stuff. And before you ask, next time I'm gonna do something with the DNF 2001 leak, which has pushed itself to the front of the production line. I am very aware of it. I would say that I have reached a trance-like nirvana level of awareness concerning the DNF 200...

I'd like to take a moment to welcome the staggering influx of new patrons since the last video. The magic words that lead to success, apparently, are "sewer count" and I suggest that you practice this mantra in the mirror every morning. Thank you all for showing up and I'm sure some of you will be very happy to finally see th...

Ah, Nightmare Reaper, a game I can finally put to rest. Love this one. I've booted it up countless time between getting it years ago and now. Steam says I have about 100 hours in it after doing this playthrough. It doesn't sound like a lot, but for me 100 hours is a lot for me. I've had relationships that lasted less time.&nb...

This one is a bit more dry than the last. Interesting game that I wanted to get into a little deeper and would likely do a longer video when it gets a full release. This episode is coming out a little later than I'd planned due to life interfering with my schedule. It was so much simpler when I was stuck inside with nothing t...

Despite my best efforts this is another long one. And two, TWO whole jokes about leaving a comment. I think I might be going senile.
I didn't wait until there was a re-release to do a video on purpose. I'm kind of glad I did though because Build Powerslave was not very interesting and would have been a slog of a video ...
So I finally played this game, once and for all, all the way through, and I had a pretty good time. I understand why so many people would remember this game fondly even if it breaks my brain a little. After a couple of days dealing with technical issues (there are a couple parts of this video that Premiere did not want to ren...

DISCLAIMER: I urge you to not take anything I say about the Marvel Cinematic Universe seriously. I don't actually care if people enjoy Marvel movies and don't think less of a person if they do.

Before I retreat into a brief hibernation period as a blizzard ravages the outside and possibly knocks out power for a while, I'd like to put this up for all of you. It's another dive into the magical world of DOS trash. One of those really nasty Doom clones that popped up in the mid 90's that were...

I didn't mean for the video to be quite this long (again...
Welcome to 2022, hopefully the last in this awful series of years that started with 2020, although I'm ready to write off this whole decade as a loss. Unless we get non-creepy sex robots in the next 12 months my expectations aren't very high.
So late last year I was trying to come up with some video ideas for Patreon ...
