The Haps

Hey all!

Just wanted to give a brief update about what's going on.

First: I just got this  in the mail!  I just...

Scanner Sombre

Hey all!

If you couldn't guess, I'm holding off on that 0451 video until Prey comes out - it didn't seem to make sense to release it with that game on the horizon, so I want to incorporate it in any...

Mayhap let's have some Discord?

Edit: Not sure what I was thinking; I've updated the link to be a forever-link rather than a 24 hour one.  Sorry for the e-mail spam!

Original post as follows:

So taking after my good fr...

Everything

I am not sure whether this episode needed a spoiler warning, so I just sort of put a loose one at the beginning.  Still: Everything!  A game about all of the things!  Pretty neat!  ...

Night in the Woods (Spoilers!)

Night in the Woods is a really neat game about being a cat! Also about being a 20-something facing the ennui of being an adult.  Also it is about Sharkle, who is the best thing ever.

Anyways, I...

THOTH (And How I Talk About Games)

So I get into this a little bit in the video, but I've been running behind all month due to various life things (the new job, getting a new dog, and some other personal stuff).  That was okay, be...

Inside Addendum (Spoilers!)

Apparently I forgot to post this when it went online a few weeks ago!  So I'm correcting that now in case anyone hasn't seen it.  Be warned, there are big spoilers for the entire game throug...

Inside (Spoilers!)

So originally this month was going to be a Dishonored 2 video, and that kind of fell through because I accidentally ballooned the script out into a giant thing that's gonna take a lot more time.  ...

Dead Rising 4

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!  To celebrate here's perhaps the most Christmassy episode I've done.  Well, Christmassy in a Gremlins/Shane Black/Die Hard kinda way.  But at there's snow ...

Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor (Spoilers)

Hey all! This time I'm talking about a game where you pick up trash!  Sometimes you try to sell it!  It's... it's more interesting than that sounds.

Anyways, this week I'm looking at Diari...

Mafia III (Spoilers)

This video took far longer than it probably should have to make, and for that I apologize.  It was a fun mix of technical and game design issues, but I can bore you about that later.  For no...

Anatomy (Spoilers!)

October continues with what is probably our first (perhaps only?) really scary episode: a look at Kitty Horrorshow's works and Anatomy in particular.  I've been a fan of her stuff for a while now...

Oxenfree

The second Halloweeny episode is out!  This time it's a mostly spoiler-free look at Oxenfree, an adventure game that mixes spooky ghost stories and young adult fiction.And despite being a cranky ...

Devil Daggers

I'm kicking off a month of Halloween-y games with Devil Daggers!  It's basically Geometry Wars-meets-Quake, and the results are pretty neat!Anyways, I figured that covering a bunch of jump-scare ...

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Hey all!  

This time I wrote a whole lot about Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The response to this video has been pretty polarized, and I guess it comes off as more harsh than I really intended it ...

No Man's Sky

In this episode I took a look at No Man's Sky!  I feel like discussion of the game proper has been lost in the derailment of the hype train and the kerfuffle about whether its marketing was truth...

Firewatch (Spoilers!)

Hey all!  I've put up a video on Firewatch looking at its overall themes and its structure.

Social Spaces & Payload Races

New video is up!  This time I look at TF2 and Overwatch and how they sculpt their individual communities. 

I don't know how common this sentiment in the video will be, though.  Fo...

DOOM (2016)

The DOOM episode is now up!  I try to talk about why I really really enjoyed the game but also struggle to see where it can go from here.  Plus: DOOM 3 jokes!

Dark Souls III Part II (Boss/Story Spoilers)

And here we wrap up Dark Souls III.  Like I said last time, this was my first Dark Souls game and I'm glad I finally sat down and played all the way through it.  It's an interesting game - I...

Dark Souls III (Non-Story Spoilers?)

Hey all! 

I've posted the first is what looks like is going to be two videos on Dark Souls III.  Originally it was going to be a bunch of shorter essays strung together, but this diffi...

Burnout Paradise

This episode went through a lot of rewrites. Part of that was simply the need to keep my meandering writing habits in check - I love this game, and it was pretty easy to go off onto tangents. ...
