This is the home of HUGE Castlevania fans and my channel is devoted to showcasing tons of stuff about the series. I also cover news on Bloodstained, the spiritual successor to Castlevania. My review/retrospective series "Dude, You Haven't Played This Game?!" (DYHPTG?!) is a show that entertains and educates, inspired by old school Youtube like HVGN and 16-Bit Gems, combined with fourth wall breaking, poking fun at being a Youtuber and everything about the hobby, self-deprecation, and obscure tv/movie references. There's also Noob Repair: providing tips and tricks for your hardware without the need to solder; Gaming Linguistics: a break down regarding the pronunciation of certain games and their characters/locations; PixelTunes Radio (110 Episodes/4 Years Worth!) and my current podcast venture, XVGM Radio which now is 6 years and 117+ episodes and counting! Plenty of content for you to enjoy!

Some of you may have been confused regarding the temporary removal of the latest video. Someone brought it to my attention that the post source was only available on Reddit despite several news outlets and members of the Castlevania community sharing the info. I temporarily made the video private in an effort to make sure I'm doing my part to provide the most ethical and integral gaming journalism. After doing the proper research and confirmation, I put the video back to the public view. Here's the background of work I did below.
I spent a good chunk of time investigating the source, which came from a reddit post. The screenshot came from a Reddit poster with no actual post showing on any of Konami's social medias, so it appears they either 1. removed it or 2. never posted it. The source was Konami Asia, which is defunct on Twitter since 2018, yet the Facebook account posts regularly. However, no post existed as far as I could tell. The Wayback Machine also came up empty.
It turns out I was able to find a source for this on the App Store itself (Shout out to @StockeTepes for sharing on Twitter! You can find it here: apps.apple.com/us/story/id1896576378
Scroll down and it's on the bottom right that the game is being delisted. Why Konami decided to bury the post is beyond me, but it is, in fact, legitimate despite being removed. I will pin this info to the video as well for transparency sake, as well as share the link in the description of the video.
As an actual Journalist, it's my job to make sure I'm doing my due diligence to report accurately for all of you. When someone brings something like this to my attention, I had to research it myself for further proof. Granted, this could've been avoided had I done deeper investigation which falls on my shoulders, respectfully. I apologize for the initial confusion and am happy to put the video back up knowing the truth, as originally reported, is correct.
Thanks all!

Happy Friday, all! The latest video I released yesterday goes over the Castlevania games being pulled from the PS3 and PSVita in 2027. Is it worth buying these? I showcase some of the contents included if you were to purchase them, for example, the major differences between Symphony of the Night on XBOX vs the PS3 release. Check it out!

NEW VIDEO! A long time coming, I started working on this review 2-3 years ago, but production stalled despite the thumbnail being created two years ago by Dexter Morrill. I picked up production on it not long after the Castlevania Adventure Retrospective video, plugging away for 4 months. This has now freed up my schedule to begin working on celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Castlevania! Please consider watching this review on Golden Axe: Beast Rider, liking the video and hyping it on the mobile app really help share it across the platform. I am a smaller creator who gets by on word of mouth so when you spread the word, it REALLY helps. Please enjoy my fun little review on Golden Axe: Beast Rider!
