Recommendations: Sonic Robot Blast 2 Kart
This game is as perfect a Mario Kart Remix you could possibly get.Not only does this game absolutely nail the feeling of drifting these 16bit Karts around a wide variety of circuits, feature a notable cast of characters, allow you to play local split-screen and online up to 16 players, and allow Mod...
Open World... Nevermind
"Far Cry is a sandbox game."…Says Ubisoft.I just got done playing three hours of the most T-Square linear game-design since Rockstar's shipping container level in GTAV.I'm replaying the mission from Far Cry 3 where I'm on the back of a moving vehicle with a grenade launcher blo...

Joshua Lovejoy AsksWhat's the worst racing game ever made and why is it iRacing?Garfield Kart...The only way that game could get worse is if it had iRacing's subscription model.Shadow Wolfe AsksWhat would be your ideal sim racing game? What features or quality of life stuff would you have?iR...
Recommendations: Optical Delusion by Orbital
Having recommended The Chemical Brothers, and now this, I'm starting to think there's something in the waters of England that's making Electronic Duo's make their best work to date in their old age.This isn't an album you put on for EDM bangers, nor soft ambience you'd imagin...
Post-Mortem: I Love Racing Games, They Suck!
Everytime I upload a video, I always think… this is the one that’s going to make people hate me.I hadn't uploaded in four months because of a wombo-combo of a relationship in December, and a completely unrelated poisoning attempt from god in January, topped off with the effort to make So I&#...
Sony...
The last time Sony brought an innovation beyond six axis motion control, touch-pads, and killing game-studios even more quickly than Electronic Arts, was Playstation Now.It's a service that Sony didn't put nearly as much marketing into as its other products, likely due to its specialized nat...
Q&A: March 1st, 2023
Popey AsksGiven the shift for video games to no longer be Console/PC exclusive, how do you think this will impact the market and gaming experience? What are your personal thoughts on the matter beyond the fact it’s nice to have access to more games/you can play online with friends on other console...
Recommendations: Romance Bloody Romance by Death From Above 1979
How good is Death From Above?Even their Remix album is a banger!Normally these types of releases from bands only get me taking one or two tracks off them for playlists, but for Romance Bloody Romance, some of these tracks pull the ultimate remix praise of being superior to the original songs.
EARLY VIDEO: I Love Racing Games, They Suck!
Yes... this was posted early as an "image" instead of a "video"; do not make posts when you're in the middle of staying up for 48 hours to reset your schedule, it doesn't go well.Hey everybody, I know it's hard to believe but... this project really is in the closing stage...
Q&A: February 22nd, 2023
Alexander AsksThoughts on year zero both the album and ARG (witch btw was done by the same people who did the ilovebees thing for halo 2)No opinion about the ARG, didn't know it was by ilovebees team, that's pretty cool. The album is my least favorite of NIN's discography. While Hesitati...
Recommendations: Forza Horizon
This game was very much the inspiration for me to just take the bull by the horns and make my video about Racing Games. Despite being 10+ years old, and being the barebones origins of a sub-franchise that's still going, a 60fps Boost on Xenia (360 Emulator) was all it took to hook me back in fro...
I Miss These Intros...
I've never played Ridge Racer V.When my Dad got a Playstation 2, NFS Hot Pursuit 2 and Gran Turismo 3 were what I binged for the next 2-3 years. I did absolutely love R4 on the Original Playstation, but being a kid, I wasn't reading magazines or keeping up with news online, so I didn't e...
Q&A: Feb 15th, 2023
RupertLitterbin AsksSince you love Max Payne 2 so much, can you recommend similar games?Mario Kart.Alexander AsksThoughts on shadowrun as a setting compared to pondsmith’s cyberpunk?Unfortunately, the only game I've played in the Shadowrun series, was the Multiplayer FPS in 2008, though from t...
Recommendations: Nula by VUKOVI
Man, I'm so glad we're passed trying to say Nu-Metal is tasteless trash... even if it is, it's just so much fun to have something so edgy be so catchy and danceable!I've previously recommended groups like Wargasm and Stray From The Path, but Vukovi isn't nearly as abrasive as eit...
Trying to Predict Failure
Aye?Ayeeeeeye?Okay, call back aside, it's a genuinely relevant topic as I've now witnessed this happen within just a few weeks of each other.The Last of Us show was building up to release, and all I see in said build up are people on Twitter and Youtube abusing Red Arrows and capital letters...
Q&A: Feb 8th, 2023
Joshua Lovejoy AsksWill we see a So I've Finally Played on Rocksmith 2014?Probably never, being that I've decided I can't put the time into the game that i want to without sacrificing more important work and hobbies, but it's given me a great appreciation for instruments and musicans...
Recommendations: Speed Racer (2008)
I wasn't expecting to say a director's best film is Speed Racer, yet that's the case now. I don't like films that wink and nod to the audience to reassure them that yes, what they're looking at is in-fact, over the top and completely obscene.Speed Racer doesn't do that, it ju...
Update: Cancellations and Current Projects
Hey everybody!Being that it's been a while since I've posted, even by my standards, it's time for me to sit down and write out exaclty what's been going on behind the scenes since the last video.December, while I was starting and stopping projects, Youtube took a backseat for a relat...
Recommendations: The Wire
It's said there's two types of people; those who think The Wire is one of the best shows ever made, and those who think The Wire is the best show ever made.I'm in the first camp, but do understand why so many put it as #1, and the more I think about it, the more I'm tempted to put it...
So I've Finally Played... Dead Space 2
And I prefer the Multiplayer.…there's no punchline."So I've Finally Played" isn't even a correct title either. I've played Dead Space 2's opening hours 3-4 times at this point, and every time, I drop it.The game looks absolutely gorgeous with one of the most distinct he...
Recommendations: American Psycho
You've seen all the memes, the walking, the laughing, the sunglasses, but American Psycho deserves to be watched honestly, because it is one of the most focused, yet varied films I've seen.It's funny, disturbing, crass, profound, fast-paced, and somber.I've always loved it when films...
Trying to Predict Success
It's easy to forget how big of a deal the original Titanfall was. I wouldn't go as far to put it alongside Advent Rising or Too Human, because while those games had a hype cycle due to their ambition, scope, and concepts, Titanfall was a new sci-fi franchise that got attention primarily thro...
Q&A: January 18th, 2023
Dario AsksWith so much on your plate. Making videos, writing Scripts, running this patreon, discord, having to play the games you analyz and so on and so on. Do you have time to socialize, hang out with friends and just turn your mind off, just relax? Because after years of watching you i got this i...
Recommendations: EXPLICIT by Wargasm (UK)
I've recommended Wargasm before, but I forgo to mention that they do have a dedicated EP now, half being a mix of new material, the other half being remastered old material.While I can't admit I prefer the adjustments made to the older songs on this EP, it is a focused project, with enough i...
Why Do You Want a Tram System in Cyberpunk?
Fuck the Revenge of the Jedi alternate universe…I wanna go to the universe where Cabs never existed in Grand Theft Auto IV, yet were announced and revealed in a trailer.I want to go the universe where a game which had one of the most remarkable launches in a video-game history, would in any way be...
Q&A: January 11th, 2023
Canaan Meyers AsksWhat’s your personal favorite Metal Gear game, and why?Snake Eater by a country mile. I really like MGS2's meta-nature, and MGS5's gameplay is fantastic, but MGS3 is easily the best combination of Story and Gameplay.SuperBunnyhop and MatthewMatosis go into more detail tha...
Recommendations: Lonely Mountains: Downhill
One of my favorite little quiet releases not too long ago was Art of Rally. It brough the joys and tension of hardcore simulation rally games into a bite-sized accessible and relaxed simple-poly game.It's in playing Lonely Mountains that I should've invested my time into this earlier as it g...
A Definitive Genre (of Music)
Why do I kinda love NFS Unbound's soundtrack but label Heat's as unabashed garbage?For reference, this is my Hip Hop playlist compared to Industrial…It's not my go-to genre.Do you have distortion, fuzzy electronics, and bass riff?Yeah?I'm there.I'm that predictable.It's bee...

Hammiam SaysB.S.K The Shy Kat AsksDo you like to sing?Hell no.At least, not in public.You'll never hear that....Except that one time I covered Snoop Dogg.Holy Shift AsksDo you think there is a difference between Western and Japanese approaches to game design and would you be interested in resear...
Recommendations: Whiplash
Whiplash is one of those movies where the log-line cannot do justice to how superbly dramatic and exhilarating it is. I've watched people next to me crumbling in their chairs during sequences just due to the sheer bruality and intensity of the events.You wouldn't think that a film about drum...
