Randomly Mine #14
An AlbumThere’s been discussion over the years on what form of storytelling suits video-games the best. This naturally stems from our inspirations. Creators will watch a film or show and think “Wow that was amazing! How do I make something like that in a game?”For certain experiences, I believ...
Status of Video (Update)
Hello everyone,Since doing this full time, I've tried my best to maintain a consistent schedule of releasing a video every other Sunday, and I'm proud to have maintained this with the only exception being The Orange Box.However, it's going to happen again much to my frustration.Currently...

Kasabian - Self-TitledThere's plenty of artists known for one thing out of their plethora of work. It happens regardless of artform, and music's no exception. Case in point, Kasabian. If you've played Midnight Club 3, watched Top Gear Series 8, or a Counter Strike Frag Movie, you've ...

Narrative is EverywhereOr at least it can be.Whether it’s the psychological storytelling of Spec Ops or Hellbade, political films, or even my video’s, there’s always someone to vent frustrations out of feeling that this is all pretentious.That stories should be straight forward and their purpo...

The Vietnam War (Original Score) by Trent Reznor & Atticus RossHere's the biggest compliment I can give a score, I love it and I haven't seen the show.It's a documentary series by Ken Burns, so I'm sure it's quality material, but I'm an aspiring, amateur writer. So I typicall...

TextsI’ve typed many responses to people in comments but few ever actually get posted; one of the primary factors is that text doesn’t have the strength to properly convey certain speech.Sarcasm can easily come across as serious without body language, tone of voice, or familiarity with the peopl...

Downloading Update...Ubisoft recently announced – quietly – that mid-season reinforcements will no longer happen. For those who don’t play Siege, mid-season reinforcements would be large updates to the game released between seasons. These would include bug fixes and tweaks, but also entire red...

The Pale Emperor by Marilyn MansonManson's been around longer than I've been alive, yet I could never sit down and listen to a record from start to finish. I always skipped ahead to individual songs like mOBSCENE, Sweet Dreams, or Beautiful People; and that edgy and abrasive material is a ch...

My apologies for not assembling this ahead of time. Editing Max Payne 3 took up the bulk of my schedule these past few weeks, but now, I am free.Thank you for all generosity and support.UnlockedThere’s more conflict in my head about Siege than there is conflict in Siege itself.There’s a comment ...

The Defiant Ones By HBOWhen "Documentary" is said, people typically think of talking heads with minimal music and editing. This is done on Television networks that can't afford a larger budget, or Independent filmmakers without the money or talent to make something greater.The Defiant On...

The Lootbox BlameboxRecently, I talked about how people blame Overwatch for Valve’s recent direction in the games they make. I explained how it doesn’t add up, since Valve has multiple games that dominate their own platform, with economies and monetization avenues that don’t exist in Overwatch...

One Punch Man by MadhouseWhen I was younger, I ignored Anime due to ignorant glances at the Television, where upon I only saw over the top action with little consequence or intrigue. Well, not only was this wrong, creators in Japan are very much aware of those tropes. Hence, One Punch Man's exis...
Wherz Muh Contentz? (And Hangout?)
Hello everybody,You're probably asking this question but with better spelling. So where have I been? And what's going on?Well, I do like to be transparent, but also don't like to bombard viewers with what's going on in my personal life. So I quietly mentioned on Twitter that I would ...

Randomly Mine #7Will Service for FansBunnyhop’s recent Metal Gear Solid 4 video is glorious and I highly recommend it for fans of the series, but there’s one section that really struck a chord with me.We’re all familiar with the concept of fan-service, of writers making characters do things th...

Battle Royale by Koushun TakamiDue to my lack of an organized schedule, I haven't been able to finish this novel yet, so perhaps it pulls a Fahrenheit and becomes incomprehensible batshit by the end. But I think that only speaks to its strengths, that I'm recommending just based on the first...

Hour 1 Zzz 1Having accidentally bought H1Z1 in a Humble Monthly package, I decided to boot it up and see what all the literal rage was about and why PUBG was considered such an upgrade.And I’ve left rather surprised, because H1 honestly has elements that are more appealing to me than PUBG, mainly ...

They Call It… Bad CompanyIt’s recently been leaked that Bad Company 3 is finally going to be a thing. Taking place during the Cold War as oppose to modern has me concerned the Bad Company name is just being used for PR, but there’s something else much juicer in regards to appealing to gamers.I...

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray BradburyFull warning, this isn't a list that'll make for a cheerful Christmas, as those who read this book in school probably know what I'm on about.But unlike 1984 or The Hobbit, the writing and prose of Fahrenheit doesn't feel nearly as dated, and compliments ...

AlarmingI attended PAX 2014 and the most memorable game at the convention was definitely Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer. Waiting in line and getting to experience Lockout all over again with gorgeous visuals, beefy sound-effects, and new dimensions was a real treat.As a Halo 2 megafan, it easily won...

Click, Click, No Real BoomI’ve fired a lot of guns in games. From the past, future, and present, I’ve used enough weaponry to surpass a Texan billionaire, and it’s from this experience, a nagging issue rears its ugly head…Destiny is a future fixed in war, against aliens who can only be stopp...

Gone Girl by Gillian FlynnThe film by David Fincher is an excellent book to film adaptation. Not only bringing a unique tale to the big screen, but in a way that took advantage of the art-form.Ms. Flynn managed to do exactly that with the book itself. Using sharp prose and combining it with an hones...
Randomly Mine #2
Depth of FieldI never really thought about this effect until Examined Life of Gaming pointed it out in his video on the game, BLACK. Since that generation of consoles, it’s been a standard. Nearly every mainstream game utilizes Depth of Field in both cutscenes and gameplay. Yet I’d argue, it’s...

Outrage is Now by Death From AboveDeath From Above is a Canadian rock duo that I've always enjoyed but never sat down and absorbed their work start to finish. Boy did that change with Outrage is Now. Their sound truly feels as heavy as people made out the band to be all the way back in 2004. The...

Hey guys,Today is the introduction of a new series, a change on this Patreon that hopefully, will stick. I've been struggling with the noted scripts for some time and I don't believe that people who are so generous as to help support my content financially, deserve to see works that I make o...
Upcoming Changes
Hello everybody,I've often found myself in the position of multitasking Patreon posts such as Recommendations and Noted Scripts while working on the next video, due to the 10th & 11th rarely being on a week I'm able to focus on the former. My inexperience wasn't able to foresee this, so ...

Dummy by PortisheadI was a bit hesitant to put an album in this month's post due to listing four of them previously, but Dummy is just too good to pass up. It's sound and subject matter are timeless in their portrayal in writing, singing, and composition.It can be listened to with a single t...
Lessons Learned 01
Hello everybody,Today's special document is a little different than usual, and you'll see why in the piece for yourself. It's one of self reflection, and hopefully, you'll learn something from it yourself.Thank you,Raycevick

Today's recommendation list will be entirely music based. The loss of Chester Bennington had me revisiting my childhood albums and songs, but mainly focusing on the great work released recently, and soon to be.Offworld by CelldwellerKlayton can seemingly do no wrong in my eyes. He's quickly ...
