So I guess I'll put together a Game of the Year podcast where I talk wrap up my game playing habits for this year. This will also be a good venue to talk about everything from 2014, too -- I wrote an entire script for that GOTY video, recorded all this footage, but was ultimately too busy to do anything with it.
Anywa...

Happy holidays, supporters! I didn't do much stuff that was outwardly facing last month, but rest assured, there are rumblings going on behind the scenes for things. Mostly just, uh, working and typical holiday rush stuff, but, that probably counts. Probably.
New videos did go up on the channel, though, including a promo for <...

Greetings, my Patrons! My default emotion for these is usually one of apology, so it legitimately caught me off guard that I actually had a fairly eventful October! Seven new videos went up on the channel, which is significantly higher than my output has been all year!
Thank you so much for the support this month!

Greetings, Patrons! This is going to be a long one.
So, last month, I said I was going to shoot for September 9th for my second Sonic Boom video, a deadline I very clearly missed. But there's a reason for that!
As I was in the process of creating artwork for the video, I noticed Jontron retweeted that Did You Know Gaming...

Howdy, Patrons! I realized I said I'd get this Sonic Boom video out on September 9th, and it's way later than that! There's a reason, but I'll get in to that in a few days for the Patreon update thingy. I'm gonna shoot to have the video done by Saturday at the absolute latest. ANYWAY
Before Halloween gets here I want to do a s...

Greetings Patrons! Another month, another list of broken promises. Er.
Good news, though! In spite of what might appear as inactivity to some of you, I've actually started feeling creative again. It would seem after the last four or five months ran me absolutely ragged I have finally recharged my batteries at least somewha...

Greetings, Patrons! Last month I made some promises about things I intended to do in July. Of course, what I failed to realize at the time, was that it was like... July 11th that I wrote that? So when I say "last month," what I really mean is "a little over two weeks ago."
There really wasn't a ton of time to ...

So just to bring everybody up to speed that may not remember: So two or three years ago I released a demo of this thing I am/was calling "Sonic Forever." The catch: It was an April Fools joke to riff on the original Sonic 2 HD demo, where a member of Sonic Retro burned a bunch of bridges with the community. Upon booting my demo ...

Here is one zip file containing two builds of Castlevania: Ballad of Autumn.
Castlevania_Ballad-of-Autumn_2008_Demo.zip - The demo build I posted online in 2008. It automatically boots in to full screen and was designed for 4:3. Sorry! There's a video for this 2015-07-13 08:58:21 +0000 UTC View Post
Sorry this is a bit belated, I obviously have a good excuse for it taking so long.
So what's been going on in the last month? Honestly, not a whole lot! A week of (absolutely grueling) 2015-07-11 06:11:05 +0000 UTC View Post

The old $15 tier is going away. Everything that was $15 (all my games) are getting pushed down to the $5 tier.
So, if you pledged at the $5 level, check the creations tab! The bulk of my Patreon posts from the last few months were actually i...

Here's the scattershot final "build" of Shadow of Chaos, a Sonic fangame I once thought was a good idea. As the story goes, Shadow the Hedgehog had just been unveiled in 2005, and I started playing around with Sonic Battle sprites. The end result was a game engine where you played as Shadow, but no levels. And I didn't want to m...

This is obviously super early. Still took three weeks of work at least to get to this point, however.
WHAT WORKS:

- Placing objects. (Right click to place more than one.)
- Moving objects (Cannot be holding...

Given that it's only been maybe a week or two since the last update, there's not much new to report on currently. My replacement HDD is on its way home, and things are in motion with regards to my job training/education stuff. May is going to be a busy month and stress is already kind of high. I just bit the bullet and sent off ...

With the sloppiest logo you can think of (click it to listen/download), here’s something tentatively called “The Patreon Pilot Podcast!” Obviously, music’s temp, name’s temp, lots of things are temp. A Tumblr Q&A Podcast is currently up at as $250 goal on my Patreon, and we’re obviously a long way from hitting $2...

It's been a bit quiet around these parts, so I figure I should clue all of you in as to what's been going on since February. In fact, maybe monthly updates are in order? For starters! I have been enrolled in a job training program. I've been doing a bit of volunteer work at a local thrift store, down in the sorting room. As part...

Given I did a video review for Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing that was just an excuse to complain about Mario Kart, I felt like I owed it to the series to do a video review on it one day. It just so happens to be that Mario Kart 8 is REALLY, REALLY GOOD. Like, the best Mario Kart's ever been. I just wish there was a little mo...

It's here that BLTN "Season 2" starts in earnest. I was making a conscious effort to define the show's "visual style" more; I created a new intro, with all kinds of custom assets and such. This also began the trend of me getting way backed up on reviews and such. I ended up basically doing these three 2014 video reviews almost b...

And its here that BLTN Video Reviews has kicked back in to full swing again. Directly after finishing the Lost World review, I dove right in to doing a GOTY video. Still on the fence about doing a GOTY 2014 video.
