Hell yeah. A good progress update.

An Update

Heya, just posting an update related to something I tweeted about earlier.

Over the past few days I've been crunching hard and avoiding sleep because working on the script was forcing me not to process some stuff going on in my personal life (that I'll keep vague don't worry this isn't a sob story), and the result of that was the stress of both work and personal life shit + lack of sleep ...

Hey Howdy, Surge 2 review is coming out in early December

Heya, just thought I'd let y'all know that the review will be coming out in early December as per an agreement I have with Focus Home and GOG, since there's gonna be a link in the description for people to buy the game at a reduced price/general sale for the game happening when the video drops and that's when they wanted to set it up.

Obviously not gonna be affecting my review or anything...

Surge 2 Review Update o'Clock

Howdy, just got done with some work on the video and thought I'd chuck a little update out there since it's been a minute.

Right now I'm working on structure of the video. I already have the framing device entirely figured out and I think it's one of my best yet, which helps but also makes it a bit trickier in some ways. I've got it just about sorted, and once I'm confident in that I can ...

Patreon update: Credit Scroll

Hey everybody, I hope y'all have had a chance to see the video so this won't be a spoiler, but I want to clarify how the credit scroll is going to work moving forward.

For this video I put everyone who was pledged for any amount of money and time while I was working on this video into the credits because I wanted to thank everyone since there was no announcement about the credit scroll it...

Finally, a good update.

Hello everybody, I finally get to report some good news for this video.

For those of you who don't follow me on Twitter, I have finally (FINALLY) finished the god damn gameplay footage segment of editing the video. To explain what that means: This is the stuff that has been giving me nonstop technical difficulties since I began editing, things  that would normally take me 10 minutes ...

Video Updaterino

Hey y'all, I'm about done putting all the footage in place, about 5 minutes of runtime left to fill. Given that that's where 90% of the technical issues I've been dealing with have lain, I should have that all filled out by tomorrow-ish. Will post another update then.

After that I'm on the home stretch, which is adding all of the overlays and things, which basically amounts to the owls an...

Status Update 1-13-20

Heya everybody, here to give another status update. I'm not sure how many of you follow me on Twitter, but as I've mentioned there a few times there have been a few technical fuck ups that have set me back a lot in the making of this video, namely finding that about 75% of the footage I thought I had wound up being either not recorded by Shadowplay or made essentially useless by glitches caused...

The Script is Done

I'm hoping to have the video finished by the end of the month, I don't want to have gone all of 2019 without anything coming out.

Sorry for being MIA, like I said I didn't want to post until I had something worth reporting, thank you all so much for your support and patience. I'm really happy with how this video is turning out and I hope y'all are too <3

Progress Update (SO fucking close)

Hey y'all, "first" draft of the script is on course to be completed by this weekend. For those of you who don't know, I do a lot of editing while I write (which is bad and I still need to teach myself to stop doing), so the editing process of the script only ever takes 1-2 days max.

It's also looking like this video might break an hour, so hopefully that doesn't happen so I won't lose my ...

Progress Update August 19, 2019

Hey, it's been a minute, sorry for that. I was out of town for a while, and while I was I kind of decided to change my method of doing these update posts, instead of every two weeks no matter what I want to be making these posts when I've made genuine palpable and describable strides in the video's production, that way I'm not wasting anyone's time by saying "yep got a fair amount of work done,...

Progress Update 7-02-19

I've finished writing a major segment of the video! Tangible progress! Yay!

I delayed this update a day because I didn't want to put it out until the segment in question was fully finished, I think a day late "I've finished a segment" is a better progress update than an on-time "I hope to finish this segment soon!" update would've been, I also sorta thought I could finish it before it was...

Progress Update 6-19-19

Sorry this is a few days late! I have no excuses for this one, my brain just died and I thought I'd posted an update already for some reason.

That said, this has been a great week for video production. I've been knuckling down and focusing on big moments in the writing as well as making a bunch of dumb visual gag assets (as well as communicating with an artist on one of the final pieces o...

Progress Update 6-04-19

Hey y'all, still not 100% healthy from the bug I've got but I'm able to keep down some solid foods so let's get into the progress update:

I said in the last update that I'd been refining the stuff I'd written, so for these past two weeks I've been focused on roughing out a bunch of new stuff and start to refine it and the whole thing is really starting to take shape. I know I've said this...

Progress Update Will Be Posted Tomorrow

Hey y'all, I'm at the tail end of recovering from a stomach bug that's had me vomiting up basically everything I eat for the past few days so I'm gonna hold off on posting the update till tomorrow when my head's a bit clearer. Cheers!

Progress Update 5-20-19

Before I get into this update I thought I would pose a question, since it's become more and more relevant as I write these: Do you, as Patrons, prefer the vague "it's a surprise" mentality I take regarding the subject matter of my videos, or would you prefer that I disclose what each video is on in order to give more detailed updates? I personally really enjoy being able to surprise people with...

Progress Update 5-7-19

Heyo, sorry this is a day later than I promised but yesterday I was preoccupied with my laptop kernel panicking 30 seconds after startup so it kinda slipped my mind. Gettin' the bitch serviced right now (gotta love having a macbook (no i dont want to switch the keyboard on the 2013 macbook pro is godly to type on for long periods of time)) so that should be resolved by the time I write the next...

Progress Update (4-29-19)

Hey everyone, before I start I'd like to just apologize for skipping last week's update without saying anything. To be honest I lost track of the date a bit and thought THIS Monday was update day. That's my bad, setting calendar reminders now to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Now with that out of the way, I've made a ton of progress over these past few weeks. I've gone back and done s...

Progress Update (4-8-19)

I don't remember how I format the dates on these so apologies if it's inconsistent.

Hey all, I'm happy to announce that as of about 15 minutes ago a major part of the video making process is now 100% completed, now I get to start grinding away at finishing the script proper (even in its unfinished state I'm extremely pleased with it) and doing a bit of preparation for the editing phase. B...

Update 3/18/19

Howdy howdy, I've got good news for you lads. The most time consuming part of making this particular video is VERY close to being completed, and based on how naturally everything else has been falling into place I should be able to shotgun through the rest of it pretty easily. This is far and away the most fun I've had scripting an Actual Review video and I think it's also the funniest one yet,...

Video Update + Update Schedule (Update 3-4-19)

Hey all, like I said (or at least like I think I said), I'm gonna be better about keeping everyone on here updated about video progress so you folk don't feel like you're being left in the dark about what I'm up to. From here on out I'll be posting progress updates and general information every other Monday, and honestly I'm sorry it took me so long to start doing this, seems pretty obvious to ...

Video production update

Hello! Just wanted to post a little production update on here for everybody.

The video I'm currently working on is coming along very well, I've posted on Twitter about this a few times but I'm already pretty confident that it's going to be my funniest video to date when it releases. It also marks a slight shift in the focus of my videos back towards being primarily focused on entertainmen...

Video Production Update

I have finished editing together the gameplay footage for this video, meaning that I'm finally getting to the part of editing that I actually enjoy doing. My current goal is to have the video finished this month, and if I get 5 minutes of overlays edited every day for the next 10 days I'll be able to just manage that.

I'm sorry I don't update here more frequently, I just didn't want to post anot...

Progress update on next review

Hello all, I know I've been a bit radio silent on here so I just wanted to give everyone an update on the progress of the video (as well as some updates about my life because even though I'm sure the majority of you don't care these things affect video production and I think it's worth bringing up). Now, a major thing that has always affected my video production has been my mental health, which I'...
