Dare to Scare UNCUT: Clive Barker's Undying

Ryan Bloom post Dare to Scare UNCUT: Clive Barker's Undying from patreon

Those of you who have listened to the podcast will know what this is, and it's something I've been toying with for two years now. The general idea is this: I play a horror game for about an hour, hour and a half, and see if it can scare me. I talk about what I think makes it scary (or doesn't). I then cut the video down to only ...

Dare to Scare (INTRO)

Ryan Bloom post Dare to Scare (INTRO) from patreon

I guess it's official. My Halloween Youtube series is called Dare to Scare. I have the first episode recorded and mostly edited. Turned out a lot better than I thought it would. Currently clocks in at about 38 minutes. Would like it to be less, but in a series about playing horror games and seeing if they can scare me, you have ...

The first test recordings

I probably should've started figuring this stuff out sooner than ten days before the first ep is scheduled to go out, but here we are. The lighting working out so well ended up being kind of a happy accident.

Patreon Party People Podcast - September 2016

Ryan Bloom post Patreon Party People Podcast - September 2016 from patreon

Whoops, this took a little longer to get out than usual! For a couple of reasons! Also, over the course of this podcast, I kind of start to sound like a robot. Near as I can tell it's a combination of Levelator being weird and Goldwave's noise reduction also being weird -- but in my defense on the last one, there was a cricket c...

This Kinda Sucks: AM2R, Nintendo, and Fangames

Ryan Bloom post This Kinda Sucks: AM2R, Nintendo, and Fangames from patreon

Given my history “growing up” in a fangaming community, I figured I had a somewhat unique perspective on the “Nintendo shuts down that Metroid 2 fangame” situation.

My conclusions might not entirely be the ones you expect!

How DO We Fix Sonic?

Ryan Bloom post How DO We Fix Sonic? from patreon

More than a year ago, a Youtube channel called “Good Blood” released a video where they described their idea to reboot Sonic the Hedgehog. Given that I have dabbled in game development stretching all the way back to the dawn of Sonic fangames in 1998, I’ve had ideas for how I’d handle Sonic the Hedgehog for myself, assum...

Patreon Party People Podcast - August 2016

This is probably the longest Patreon Party People Podcast yet, and with good reason: I talk shop about behind the scenes of "The Big Video." From last minute technical problems to the bizarre sensation of finally having a 10-month proje...

Music Library: Sepwich 2008, Part 3

So, did you know I "make" music? I mean, you're supporting me on Patreon, so probably. I put "make" in quotations because I technically only remaster music. I never learned how to compose. The general idea is that I take, say, a MIDI I find on the internet, and I give it good instruments and effects and make it sound... well, be...

How to Kiss a Hedgehog: Early Draft (June 2016)

Ryan Bloom post How to Kiss a Hedgehog: Early Draft (June 2016) from patreon

Here is the first 30 pages of the book I am writing about Sonic 2006. This has not seen an editor, and there has been done very little proof reading. Things could and probably will change pretty significantly!

Audacity ate part of the podcast -- you'll know it when you hear it. Not much I can do about that, and it's kind of a bummer, but it's not hard to pick up on what I was saying.

Adding an animated GIF as the podcast image apparently has done weird things when that post shows up in the new dashboard, so I have gone back to that post, re-uploaded the podcast, and added a regular image for the thumbnail instead.

Ryan Bloom post Game of the Year 2014-2015 Podcast! from patreon

So for 2014, I was going to do a whole big Game of the Year video, much like I did for 2013. Unfortunately, 2015 became so busy that I ended up recording a bunch of footage, writing a script, and a bunch of other stuff, but never actually putting it all together.


Now it is 2016, so rather than promise another video...
