Raycevick Recommends: June 2019 (Music Time!)
Yes, it's been too long, so today's Recommendations will be followed up with Randomly Mine tomorrow. Though this time you won't find books or film, because there's just been too much material making the most of my speakers.Monolith by ComadusterWhile Comaduster's still hard at wo...
Update, Pause, and Personal Thoughts
Hello everybody.I know I've been quieter than usual on Patreon, Twitter, and Discord recently, so I thought to maintain transparency I'd make this post. Starting with information and concluding with my thoughts surrounding them for those interested.1. I'll be pausing the Patreon again du...

Le Mans by Lee H. KatzinIt's amazing to revisit something from your childhood as an adult, and see qualities you might've subconsciously registered, but now recognize and respect.The atmopshere of this McQueen classic is simply incredible. It's compilation of beautiful cinematography, so...
Randomly Mine: April 28th, 2019
ButtsTo this day, I’ll occasionally get a comment from somebody viewing my Mass Effect 2 Years Later piece, saying that my idea for reserving Miranda’s obnoxious butt shots to those romancing her was the smartz. I don’t think it’s that outlandish or intellectual, it seems kind of simple to m...

Shadow Movement by The AnixSturgeon's law say's 90% of everything is garbage and honestly, he's not far off. Between all of the stuff I recommend is an extensive list of disposable albums, games, comics, etc. So that moment when you scroll or swipe onto the next piece of work and it clic...
Sorry to Disappoint
Was planning to write this in the morning but got called by the Hospital in-regards to my Mother's broken arm. Seems my own incompetence of time management has combined with personal matters that are guaranteed to delay my content further. Needless to say, but I'll be hosting the Patreon con...
Randomly Mine: March 24th (Rapid Edition)
Being that I’m currently writing the Wolfenstein script, I thought it’d be fun to make a sort of immediately Mine rather than something that accumulates over a couple days.Sound-DesignI actually talked about this in the Wolfenstein script, but had to cut down because it was eating way too much s...

I could write a paragraph about how exhausted I was after completing Metro Years Later and that being the reason why I dropped off the face of Patreon failing to keep my promise of hosting a post-video hangout... but actually its just because I got caught up in Wolfenstein. Having killed my sleep sc...
Patreon February Pause
Hello everybody,The kind Patrons here in the final months of last year probably aren't going to be surprised by this post. Today, I have family visiting from across the Country and I'll be gone on Tuesday which virtually guarantees there's no way for me to finish this latest video by the...
Randomly Mine: Feb 15th, 2019
SponsorshipsI’ve never been against sponsorships. There’s multiple channels I’m subscribed to, friends and colleagues that have done sponsored content over the years and never had an issue. I don’t fault people for hustling in a time where people have aspirations like buying bread without co...
Raycevick Recommendations: February 2019
This month's list of recommendations is going to be, as with one occasion last year, all about Albums! Not because an iconic singer has died, but simply because none of the films I watched this month inspired me, and I'm still deeply immersed in the Metro tunnels. So to kick things off...Sla...
Decisions...
I'm making a video on Resident Evil at the moment and my original plan was to cobble together a quick Battle Royal project I've been thinking about for some time, the only concern is that the next Years Later, Metro, would be rushed or delayed. So I'm leaning to saving the BR project for...
Randomly Mine: January 10th, 2019
Assassin’sThrough purchases made on Newegg last year, the website gave me a free copy of Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, or as I kept calling it, The Witcher 3: Odyssey. However, even if Odyssey was a 7/10 version of Witcher 3, I wouldn’t mind; if you’re going to copy something, might as well be ...

Pronobozo – HackwaveElectronic Music is often characterized by detractors as one note, generic, and repetitive. In fairness, that’s not entirely unfounded. It’s relatively easy for someone to make a catchy beat in software and call it a day. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t distinct arti...
Randomly Mine: December 26th, 2018 (Andromeda Edition)
Randomly MineAndromeda EditionNormally when I make a Years Later video, the majority of the time is spent writing scripts in-order to cover as much of the game as possible. From its pre-production and development cycle to the campaign, multiplayer, downloadable content, or anything else of note.Andr...
Raycevick Recommendations: December 2018
New Blood by Occams LaserMost of the albums I've recommended are ones I could listen to from start to finish thanks to their variety and pacing. New Blood isn't that. It's synthwave beats are repetitive, derivative, and not at all something even casual observers of this sub-genre haven&#...
I'll Accept Donations When...
I have something to show for them, which is why I'm pausing Patreon again. I'm hacking away at Andromeda as much as possible until it's done, not unlike the development team behind it I guess. I do however plan to put people's names in the credits who've applied during my pauses ...
Randomly Mine: November 21st, 2018
PrioritiesPlaying Mass Effect: Andromeda a thought occurred to me. The game addresses a lot of criticisms regarding aspects from past entries and iterates on things previously dropped entirely by design or technical restrictions.The Nomad is the most obvious example bringing back the concept of a Ma...
Raycevick's Recommendations: November 2018
Apologies for my absence on Patreon, clocking 40+ hours in Mass Effect: Andromeda for the past week has taken its tole and I've still got more to go; I'll be informing you of the process on that work in future posts.Sword Art Online: AbridgedSometimes, you just wanna laugh.While I don't ...
What is this plan? (TL;DR - Patreon Will Be Paused)
Asteased in the past, the next big project is Mass Effect: Andromeda, however, I was always hesitant to jump right into it for two reasons...One, at the time, I didn't have a good enough computer to have high-quality visuals. That's since been remedied, due to all of you and your generosity....
Randomly Mine: October 5th, 2018
Dirt RallyWe’re all suckers for Nostalgia. Yes, it’s easy to belittle those soaking their jeans by a company simply resurrecting the past, but then the spotlight will sometimes come to your favorite brand, game, or feature, and suddenly you’re emptying the wallet.That’s kind of what I feel l...
Raycevick Recommendations: October 2018
Fine by SONOIOLast year, I recommend Sonoio's debut album for its entrancing electronic melodies, but shortly after producing that album's sequel, Red, Sonoio seemed to vanished. Probably because the Italian behind it, Alessandro Cortini was neck deep in work with Trent Reznor on both How to...
Discord Hangout & Randomly Mine Next Week...
Post-new video. I once again had to choose between these two Patreon posts or a new video go to up on Sunday, and as always, I choose the latter.And yes, it's about Burnout.Apologies for those looking forward to these two things, but I hope the video will make that wait worth it.Thank you for th...
Randomly Mine: September 12th
Solo QueIt seems that DICE have pushed themselves into a bit of a corner with Battlefield V. I’m not talking about the political discourse online between EA and multiple communities, I’m just talking gameplay.From day one, Battlefield was a sandbox game, with infantry, land, sea, and air vehicle...

The AccountantSometimes a little hunch can lead to lots of enjoyment. All I heard about The Accountant was Ben Affleck portrays someone with high-functioning autism and that he did it well. My doubts and personal interest led me to watching.That doubt didn't stem from Ben, he's more than pro...

Hey Disney…You’re stupid.Was there are reason for that “point?”Not really.Video Game TVOne of the games I really enjoyed my time with this year was The Crew 2. In my time with the beta, I felt like it was nothing other than a textbook sequel, not afraid to change its style and tone for the b...
What's Going On?
Hey everybody;Some have probably noticed neither Randomly Mine or the Hangout happened on schedule. I'm at a bit of a crossroads, because one of the main goals of this channel is to be transparent, and honest, but I also don't want to bombard people with personal matters constantly over Twit...
Raycevick Recommendations: August 2018
Mom and Dad by Brian TaylorI've often criticized Rockstar's writing, particularly the company's frequent satire in Grand Theft Auto. But that's not because I'm against mean-spirited, and over the top scripts that have all the subtly of fireworks; as evidenced by my enjoyment of M...

Lara Croft Tomb Raider (2001)I know what you're thinking.Ray, how could you possibly recommend avideo game movie?I thought the same, until watching it just recently, and had some of the most fun I've had with a movie in a long time. Because while Tomb Raider is filled with dumb-moments, bad ...
