Dark Souls II thing for VICE
Hello hello! I'm back in the UK, and just about alive. Normal service will continue shortly, but in the meantime I thought you might enjoy this short written piece I did for VICE after my Dark Souls II video went up. You might like it! Or you might not. I don't know. Either way, IT IS HERE...
Original Sin - Return of the Classic RPG?
(Apologies for the double-post spam! Accidentally deleted the original video because I am an a-grade numpty.) This was originally supposed to be done last week, but then I got struck down with THE ACTUAL PLAGUE*. I'm loads better now though, thanks - and just in the process of finishing up st...
Daft Souls 17: Destiny, Inazuma Eleven, Fire Emblem, Gods will be Watching
Heavy commitments and a mysterious virus have properly scuppered this week's productivity, but I did manage to squeeze in an episode of Daft Souls! With Quintin Smith (https://twitter.com/quinns108 ), Paul Dean (https://twitter.com/paullicino ), and Brendan Caldwell (https://twitter.com/brendy_...
A new comments solution!
Sorted! It's been a lot of work and fiddling (although mad props to Mr. @Mattophobia for helping me set it up and make it look lovely) but I've finally set up a place for open discussion about my work that can easily be moderated by other people. My vids will automatically be posted to the ...
BBC 5Live interview with Yogcast's Lewis and Simon Parkin
Thought this might be of interest! Last week I was invited onto BBC 5Live's GameOn podcast to talk about ethics (It's a good show, you can subscribe here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/jot ) Due to last-minute organisation no-one knew who would be on the panel until the show was abou...
COMMENTS ETC - An Update
Hello there! As mentioned in my video last week I'm keen to find a better alternative for people to chat about my videos and stuff. Originally I naively hoped that the Patreon page might be a good enough place to host all of that, but the influx of new comments also brought spam (which I've...
Daft Souls 16: Dizzy, Skyrim, Fallout, and a Pokémon Sob-Story
With Quintin Smith (https://twitter.com/quinns108 ) and Keza MacDonald (https://twitter.com/kezamacdonald ) WELL HELLO! Yes, so now I've got a bit more free time from not having to read and moderate comments, the YT version now features headshots and timestamps. Enjoy! Have a great weekend! M...
Turning off comments on my YT channel
Hello! Listen, don't panic. Comments will remain enabled here. Watch the rest of the video if you're interested in getting an idea of why I've decided to do this. It wasn't an easy decision by any means, but I've started to realise recently that remaining sustainable isn't j...
The Dark Souls 2 MegaCritique Vid
Hopefully when you see the scale and scope of this video you'll appreciate why it took so long to make it! I've been trying to get my thoughts nailed down for a while, and to be honest it took longer than usual for me to work out exactly how I felt about the game - especially considering how...
Benefit Sponger Q&A - 18th July 2014
Hello! Recorded this yesterday evening after a hot and sticky day of VO and scripting. So yeah, apologies in advance if I seem more tired and cranky than usual! ;) Yet again, I intend to keep it brief and then ramble on for ages. There's some interesting (and maybe useful?) stuff at the end ab...
Sponge Squad #20 - The Final Assault
Alright, SO. So. I probably can't bear to read the comments on this one, for reasons which will become evident! But thank you for watching - and I hope you've enjoyed the series. :) Matt x
Daft Souls 15: Divinity: Original Sin, No Man's Sky, Yogsdiscovery
This week with Aoife Wilson (https://twitter.com/aoifelockhart ) and Gav Murphy (https://twitter.com/cymrogav ) Enjoy! :D
Spongenaut Update
HELLO YOU! Busy busy working on long-form video stuff, but couldn't let the events of this week pass without some form of comment. So here it is, a very brief, very simple, very silly little thing. I hope you're having a good day! Matt
Sponge Squad #19
HOOO MAMA, it's Sponge Squad time. I'm entirely out of in-the-bag episodes now, so next week is gonna involve an XCOM MARATHON. Hope you all have a good weekend peeps! Matt x
Benefit Sponger Q&A - 10th July 2014
Hello hello! Recorded this one pretty late last night, and YouTube didn't finish encoding till this morning. Bit of a lengthy one this time because I babbled on about all sorts of nonsense at the start. Still, cheers as ever for your interesting questions! Have a lovely day! Matt x
Daft Souls 14: Etrian Odyssey, Happy Endings, Transistor, King of Dragon Pass
Podcastzeit! Cheers for listening, peeps - we've managed about 150k downloads/listens for the first 13 episodes - which for a podcast is pretty damn good! Hopefully you're still enjoying it. Have a great day! Matt x
Transistor: IS IT GOOD?
Well HELLO THERE! Wanted to get into the flow of starting to cover more games & do more one-off stuff, so here's a video about Transistor - a game which I quite enjoyed but didn't quite love. Because of that, I wanted to try a simpler VO-led format - let me know if you like it, I might us...
Sponge Squad #18
SORRY CHAPS. This went wrong several times - partly my fault, partly tech being dodgy and my PC failing to multi-task properly. (additional RAM is in the post!) Have a great weekend! Matt
Benefit Sponger Q&A - 4th July 2014
Pretty late this week, but it's here! (XCOM re-uploading now too, was slightly out-of-sync, just like my brain.) Hope you all have a lovely weekend! Matt x
SORRY LADIES Gaming needs to be a sport
WE DON'T MAKE THE RULES, YEA? Hope you enjoy this video, I really got excited about the idea when I was off my face on biscuits and coffee at about 10am this morning. x
Daft Souls #13: ROBO-SPECIAL, ENGAGE.
We didn't intend it, but this ended up mostly being about robots. Enjoy! With Keza Macdonald (https://twitter.com/kezamacdonald) and Joe Skrebels (https://twitter.com/2plus2isjoe) iTunes: http://bit.ly/1iwstGD RSS: http://bit.ly/1lj35b4 SoundCloud: http://bit.ly/1hkTlWw (Podcast theme by Vitali...
Sponge Squad #17
HELLO YOU! Earlier than usual because I'll be away from computers for the next week. See you soon! Matt
FTL: It is FINALLY DONE
Oh boy, this has felt like a real labour of love. Not even sure what I've ended up with, really - but it DOES have a couple of moments that I hope will make you smile. Going to crack on with what I can over the next day, but I'm off to Glastonbury this week, so expect a quiet one! See you ...
Sponge Squad #16
The most intense XCOM mission I've ever played. That's all I'm saying. :)
E3 2014: Ubisoft Abridged!
WAR. WAR NEVER CHANGES. (I done another video lol) Sony *SHOULD* be done for early next week. Up against it this week, will do what I can. Hope you enjoy this vid - got to the point where I'd been looking at it for so long that I couldn't tell if it was funny anymore. Let me know! Matt x
Daft Souls #12: Spelunky, Sir, Kid Icarus, F.E.A.R
With Log (https://twitter.com/disappointment) and Steve (https://twitter.com/misterbrilliant) iTunes: http://bit.ly/1iwstGD RSS: http://bit.ly/1lj35b4 SoundCloud: http://bit.ly/1hkTlWw (Podcast theme by Vitaliy Zavadskyy @VZavadskyy)
Matt and Steve's Amazing Week
Hello! This isn't on my YouTube channel as I didn't really make it - Steve did all the editing etc. But still, I wanted to let those of you who follow the stuff I do know it exists - particularly those of you who remember the original Amazing Week stuff! Enjoy! Matt
The Call of Duty Trailer Olympics
AND NOW FOR SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. This is a silly idea I had last week, brought to life with the help of my lovely and talented friend Mr. Steve Hogarty. I hope you enjoy it!
Sponge Squad #15
E3 week can't stop Sponge Squad, yeah? (Thank PISS for pre-recorded episodes!) Have a good weekend chaps, see ya soon. x
E3 2014: EA Abridged!
NOW THEN, WHAT'S THIS? Much happier with this than I was with the first video - far more comedy material to work with, allowing for a much tighter little bit of work. The MS wasn't bad, I don't think - but it certainly felt more like a personal challenge than a chance to properly do my ...
