WHATSUPGOTHGAMERNATION?!

Just wanted to share a progress update. I usually feel a little bad when I don't have anything ready to post at the end of the month, but I just wanted to assure you that I'm real close!Initially I had figured the Slitterhead video would be on the shorter side, but I found a lot of fun material to include so it's looking to come out close to 2.5hrs. It's actually really strange writing for something so new that I don't have prior life experience with or decades of ephemera to dig through so I tried to shape the video's flow around the game's creator and how his career may have informed why such a weird little game exists. Hopefully it works out! Right now I'd say it's about 85-ish% done, everything is laid out with the proper clips, but I want to refine some points and finish up some live action wrap-around (aka talk to dog scenes). Barring any complications, I'm hoping to have it up next week!

Also, if you're not a part of the discord and therefore did not see the poll that took place, the winning game for the next review video was 2003's Drakengard. Fittingly the only game choice I included that I have never played and judging by some of the reactions when I tell people what I'll be working on, it looks like I'm in for a rough time. Should make for a fun challenge as far as content though! I've been playing it whenever my brain gets fried from editing and i'm maybe 4 or 5hrs in. I found that it looked pretty rough on my capture. Dark footage does not fare well with YouTube compression so with some advice from another mentally unwell Youtube gamer (TheGamingBritShow) I sprang for an upscaler and it's a pretty decent improvement. Having said that, I think playing this game is going to give me arthritis or something. I have to take regular breaks because it feels like my wrist is going to explode from pressing square, real elder gamer shit. If any one has some advice on important info about the game, feel free to let me know in the comments.

As usual, I got my other projects on the backburner and I'm already pretty certain of what I'm reviewing after Drakengard, a point-and-click game that I was convinced I made up in the fog of my adolescence, but I will refrain from putting that down in case I get detracted by something else hehe. All that to say, sorry about taking a little longer on this one and as always thank you so much for the support, which allows me to aspire to bigger and dumber things :)

Have a video game,
