Time for the usual 'where is the next Zombies chapter?' update post. Chapter 17 (Rave in the Redwoods) is almost done filming, it's already 2 and half hours long and I haven't started editing the main easter egg run yet so that might be a small clue as to how Infinite Warfare has been going. Hoping to have it done not next week but the week after, expect a nearly 4 hour video yet again. It's been yet another brutal journey but for very different reasons to Spaceland.

If you can't wait for even more Zombie content come check out the Twitch channel where me and Jamison have been trying to beat Tower of Cheese custom maps in Black Ops 3, it's been way more difficult (and fun) than I expected. www.twitch.tv/defendthetwitch

Two years ago today we started our journey to play and finish every Zombies map ever made. Happy birthday to the series! For more frequent updates on how Chapter 16 is going make sure to follow us on twitter, x.com/DefendTheHouse, I have been yelling about it over there.

Hey guys, time for an update on the next entry in the Zombies series. This one is taking a hot minute, first of all me and Jamison were both away for 2 weeks recently which obviously slowed things down but secondly, it turns out Infinite Warfare got hands. I was expecting a similar opening to Advanced Warfare, with a small, fairly straight forward map but this is probably the most trouble a map has given us since Der Eisendrache. This has slowed down the video but personally I think it's worth it, I think we kindof breezed through Chapter 13/14/15 without too much drama so I am masochistically happy the next Chapter has some challenge to it.

No rough ETA on Chapter 16, it all depends on if we can finally take down this maps boss this week! It's gonna be another long video. Thanks for your patience.

Hi everyone!

We are beginning a period of more extreme experimentation for our "classic" content (aka Mythbusters) for a variety of reasons, most plainly to continue to try and get Youtube to like us more while retaining what you expect from us in terms of quality.

Most of the format changes are to allow for more frequent videos that cover individual ideas. This'll allow for way more videos to go up, it keeps (or at least encourages) our videos to be more up-to-the-minute relevant, lets us spend more time on each specific idea, and it keeps the overall runtime snappy and more digestible.

Helldivers 2 is sort of our dream game in terms of it being fun, well made, full of unique gizmos, and having an actually exciting and unpredictable "live service" behind it and we felt we weren't taking full advantage of all of that by sticking to our very old, very tried and true Mythbusters formula.

You'll start to see our experiments today and come into full force over the next week or two. So, let us know what you think as we figure out some fun new ways to cover Helldivers 2 (and other games) in a much more active and relevant manner while still making the unique and high quality content we strive for.

Thanks!

So Chapter 12 of Zombies is obviously taking a while. Sorry for the wait, we took a break to make MWZ content and obviously hoped that mode would be a little more...good.. than it has been but I am back on fulltime work on the main Zombies series.

I still have a lot of work to do, Der Eisendrache has been a hell of a journey but I am hoping to have it out in 1-2 weeks. It's already 2 hours and I have so much more stuff to go through, a 3+ hours runtime is almost guaranteed. I don't want to speak for the video before you guys see it but it's probably one of my favourites (if not my favourite) so far.

(also 2 hours of Chapter 12 is already on Patreon u no im gonna say it)

Hey everyone, I wanted to drop a quick update on our Halo LASO series.

It's already been quite a while since the first entry dropped and I wanted to make it clear that this series is still alive and will continue, but it was always going to be at a very slow pace. It was conceived as a "fun" side project to work on when time allowed and so far time hasn't allowed for much work to be done. I was originally thinking episode 2 would hit around the end of October but than our Avatar/Sweden adventure came up and now MW3 is just days away so we'll be mega busy with that for the rest of the year.

I currently don't anticipate episode 2 of LASO to hit until sometime in the new year. It doesn't fit into our schedule super well and requires a fair amount of recording time to make tangible progress in. But rest assured, it's not going anywhere - new episodes of it will drop infrequently and when time allows.

I know it's a bit of a niche project for the channel at the moment but we love Halo and Halo will always be part of the channel and I appreciate the warm reception the first episode got. We'll get back to The Great LASO Journey soon enough. Thanks everyone!

Chapter 11 of Zombies will be out this week! It is approaching 3 hours long and Black Ops 3 introduces a bit of a production overhaul/upgrade. Wanted to start off BLOPS3 with a bang so there's a bit more going on with this on. Aiming for Friday.

Hey guys, per Zombie episode update coming through, Chapter 9 is tomorrow! Really happy how this one turned out, even though we're still stuck on Advanced Warfare, I snuck a little surprise in there for you guys 😘

Been a very busy year for real life/social stuff and it's looking like I am finally on the other side and things are calming down, determined to start getting Chapters out at a faster rate going forward.

Also August 12th is the 1 year anniversary of the series! Year 2 here we come.

Hey guys, per Zombie episode update coming through, Chapter 8 will YET AGAIN, be the longest episode in the series. I just wrapped up recording the last chunk last night so am on the final push with the edit (it’s past the 2-hour mark and I have a decent chunk to go so should be a big one).


It took longer than expected due to real life stuff/trips for both me and Jamison so hoping Chapter 9 comes together faster (Though I don’t see any reason to rush to get to Black Ops 3 it doesn’t seem like anyone cares about that game).


Not sure on release date, fingers crossed for either Sunday or Monday.
