This is much more last minute than I intended, but ask questions or topics to discuss here for the next videochat with fans on 5:00pm UTC on November 3rd at twitch.tv/rossbroadcast. Should be another Halloween video out before then! Also, there will be another Castlevania streaming the day before on November 2nd at the same time. This is a blog post.

Here's the main Halloween episode, though there's one coming up right behind it! I still have a lot of editing left on that one, so no time to say more. For now, enjoy! This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here »

October rambling! Going to have stuff for Halloween + hopefully more FM2 this month! Also Castlevania streaming. Discussed games + world collapsing a little bit in the chat. This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here »

Here's the latest Freeman's Mind! Much more of a delay on this one than I wanted, but I hope to have more FM out this month, along with something else for Halloween. This episode is shorter than the FM2 average, but it's about normal for FM1. I don't usually have a set length in mind, I just go until there are semi-natural stopping points in the game and build it around that. There's definitely some longer ones coming up after this.

Dead Game News! I wasn't even sure about making more of these, but this news was so big and there was so much to talk about here, I felt like I had to. I plan to make a followup video to the "Games as a service is fraud" video also, which this overlaps a bit with, but there was so much here I thought it was enough for a video in itself. It's worth mentioning this did NOT delay the next Freeman's Mind episode, the dialogue on that is done, I'm waiting for sound effects back on those, my guess is that will be out pretty soon. More videos coming! This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here »

Here's the September videochat with fans. I was low on sleep during this one since I was still recovering from finishing the Trackmania episode. This one was more of a blur to me, so the rambling ratio is probably worse than usual. Nothing too important here, just that Freeman's Mind is going to be the priority for a while and I'll slowly figure out everything else hopefully. This is a blog post.

I can look into it, this episode was 5GB, it will probably look better once Youtube processes more. I need to do an archive re-encoding anyway, I noticed a tiny error I made I wanted to fix (I saw it yesterday, but that would have delayed release several hours and I really wanted this one out for August). I also forgot to put in the credits the Atari footage is from the MASH game. It might not even be a theory. I've heard it's to preserve battery life, but if they're obfuscating their gameplan, they're not doing it in an honest way. I forget the title, but it's from the Trackmania Valley soundtrack. I generally don't list music credits if they come directly from the game I'm covering (it would take forever for some episodes). On Youtube, somebody was saying that you can download a stand-alone Maniaplanet 3 version of the games from the forums. I haven't tested it yet, it seems surprising they would allow that. If true, that changes my opinion on them dramatically. I MUCH prefer a "we'll constantly break things, but you can back up the versions you like" approach to normal games as a service.

Here is the latest Game Dungeon! I thought this was going to be a shorter episode, but I ended up having multiple discoveries that made it balloon into what you'll see here. This is easily the most pro-desert video I've done or likely will do. Contains a bonus scandal! This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here »

I think I've seen so much since I originally made that section in the forum, I honestly forgot about it. I'll try to go through it again. The list is a little different though, since it would have to be obscure AND look like something I would enjoy playing. Game Dungeon doesn't necessarily need those qualifications though.
