Rolling into the next video......series?
🕑 Added 2023-02-14 16:14:15 +0000 UTCIf you haven't seen yet I recently released Pandora #3! Thanks for being patient with me. I know it took forever to make! So much so that I'm going to take a little break from Pandora. I have some ideas for #4 that I'll chip away at here and there, but in an earlier post I mentioned that in 2023 I'd like to improve on the quantity side of things.
The next video I'll post will mostly likely be that channel update I previewed a while ago, though I'll have to change it a bit since I made it so long ago. I was originally going to release it before #3 but just never got around to it so some stuff is a bit outdated I'm sure.
Aside from that, I just finished the rough draft script of a new series that I'm calling "The Hall of Fame". This will be a long running review series of the best games of all time, very similar in design to episode #1 and #3 of Pandora. We will cover not just the games themselves, but also the landscape surround them during their release, and the ways they've innovated the genre. It'll be a very "love letter"esque format. Not as produced as Pandora, as I definitely don't want another insanely time consuming series, but still pretty produced. I'm shooting for around 2 weeks per video from the start of the script to the final touches, but I've been known to be rather ambitious with my timelines so I'm sure they'll take longer XD.
For episode #1 we're going back in time to.....the Ocarina of Time! The first Zelda game to transition from 2d to 3d in one of the most exciting moments in gaming history, at least for me. This was when Nintendo, Sega, and Sony were battling it out with the N64, Sega Saturn, and Sony Playstation, and resulted in titles such as OoT, Majora's Mask, Final Fantasy VII,VIII, IX, Goldeneye, Resident Evil 1/2/3....too many to name.
Like I said the script is done, but it's rough in some areas and I have some sections to finish/polish so I don't want to post it yet. It's looking to be around 20-30 minutes long right now, but may grow or shrink depending on how it goes. In general I want these videos to be much more digestible, and don't imagine they would be much longer than 30 minutes.
I'm really happy with it so far though, I think any OoT fans will love it, and I'm really excited about the series in general. I've found that with the SWG video I've really yearned for covering games I'm really fond of, and based on the feedback so are you guys. I'd like to tap into this feedback, hence this new very broad scope series where we cover console games, pc games, old games, new games. I have a list of hundreds already that I want to cover.
I may also open it up to movies/tv series - any form of media really. At least at the start though I'll stick with games because it's a format I'm definitely more comfortable with, and I think there would be more interest with it in general.
Anyways, sorry for the wall of text, but I'm pretty excited as you can tell. Thanks again for being patient with me. I'll keep you posted on my progress!
Farewell for now, mortals.

Thanks for that. It's really motivating that people watch my stuff, let alone support me on here. It's really a big complement, and I appreciate it - will give it my all to give you your money's worth!

Yeah definitely an option, maybe even necessary for the intricate ones such as the final fantasies

Thanks dude, super pumped about this new series. Covering the scene/community surrounding these games will be a running theme. It's super important to put everything in perspective imo

Aww mate, can't wait for what you have in store. Cause so far everything is dynamite! Your pandoras box vid's are so good i just HAD to join you on here after seeing part 3.

Sounds brilliant, I can't wait! And if you find yourself struggling with 20ish minute videos, shorter ones leave room for part 2s and 3s, if you feel later on that something was left unsaid or some particular area of a game need a more dedicated in-depth discussion!

I love the way you make your videos brotha, with how you deep dive into the scene around the community of the game's genre at the time of their release. My fav part of the very first Pandora's Box video was how you spent as much time talking about the affect of WoW's release on MMORPGs as you did the game itself. Look forward to what you make next, and awesome work on the SWG vid :)
