PATRON UPDATE: Writing & The Future
🕑 Added 2023-04-11 19:11:21 +0000 UTCHey everybody,
This isn't a major update by any means - I just figured it's been a minute, and wanted to keep everybody in the loop. I've been writing like a madman on the Koudelka + Shadow Hearts script, which has been quite different than anything I've written. What was originally meant to be a more straightforward retrospective has ended up as a pretty in-depth character study. As I was writing, I found that the characters of Koudelka are the aspect of the game I'm most interested in. Shadow Hearts' segment comes across as more the review/analysis that I'm used to writing. It has more of a comparative angle as I look at it in context as a sequel rather than a standalone game. I'm almost finished writing now, which means I'll be ready to record narration & edit shortly. The video will probably be a bit longer than 90 minutes. I appreciate your patience!
After this, I'm going to do another lighthearted deep-dive. Turns out that writing about a group of depressed, ostracized & cynical individuals really knocks the wind out of your sails. I'm thinking about doing something with the Phillips CD-I... An "every RPG" video would be about 3 minutes long, but I think I think it's worth digging around for treasure. Let me know what you think.
As always, thank you for your support! I'm looking forward to editing soon. Hope you're having a great spring.

Damn, I blink my eyes and the 3DO video is bearing down on the Dragoon one and you've jumped to 40k subs. Looking forward to Koudelka/Shadow Hearts!

Joe!! You'll have to move to Australia where it's only 1:00 AM when I start streaming, that's a reasonable hour.

I just just wish youβd stop streaming at such on ungodly hour. How can I join you if youβre streaming before mid-afternoon when sane people are up?? ;) Mayo snakes rule

Awesome, really appreciate this list! I'm definitely going to look into some of these.

It's hard to come up with a cohesive theme for an omnibus CD-i review because there are so few games for it that are actually worth playing. With that in mind I put together a list of games whose only unifying feature is that they might be interesting to talk about: - Burn Cycle. It almost feels too obvious to mention because I remember it being, like, THE CD-i game, but I guess that was a long time ago. - Atlantis: The Last Resort, the only true FPS on the CD-i and a CD-i exclusive. - Dark Castle, an infuriatingly clunky and difficult platformer. I liked it when I was a kid though. - Defender of the Crown and Lords of the Rising Sun, both Cinemaware classics (a Cinemaware retrospective would be pretty cool, incidentally) - Lost Eden, an FMV adventure game with great art (and some banger music). - Monty Python's Invasion from the Planet Skyron. I mean, it's a CD-i exclusive Monty Python game. - Kingdom: The Far Reaches and Kingdom II: Shadoan, animated FMV adventure games by the creator of Dragon's Lair (not Don Bluth). Hbomberguy already did a great video on these but I'd love to hear another perspective on them. - Laser Lords, a wacky claymation FMV adventure platform game thing. This should be higher, really. Honorable mentions: Inca 1 and 2, Kether, Litil Divil, Voyeur, Shaolin's Road, The Apprentice (no affiliation with a certain former US president).

Anything phillips CDi would be great. I don't see a lot about it when browsing, except for the Nintendo games on there. Would happily take a 3 minute "cdi rpg" video though. It would pair nicely with a costco muffin.
I dunno why but this just sent me ππ

Oh... wouldn't YOU like to know... (looks at Tupperware container of Mr. Noodles because all my bowls are dirty rn)
Can't wait to see what you're cooking (but that's hardly a novel sentiment)
