Appoogies for the nearly two-week dissapearance; there was an issue involving the second half of the Comix extensions being produced incorrectly (they all featured pictures of the 2014 console instead of the 2017 console, somehow), and as a result, I had to remake them all. To make up for that and other delays, have them all at once. The algorithm wasn't showing them much love anyways, so forget pacing them out.

Now we can get back to real content and non-Drossin extension requests. I expect Vectorman 2 to be the next full OST, unless we get exessive demand for something else. That being said, I have some main channel projects that might slow things down here, but I don't think it's anything to worry about.


...I'm typing from a different computer, so I don't have my memes folder to end this post off on. Instead, have this random picture that I found/took that may or may not mean anything.

Appologies for the sudden non-AtGames spam; I had been planning it for a while.
We shall return with Ecco 2 tomorrow, and attempt to burry quality with quantity like we always do :)

So, we're back in the swing of things! What's the plan? Well, here's my timeline:
1. Upload Super Hang-On (DONE! Go watch it now!)
2. Upload the 7 remaining 2014 bootlegs (All preped and ready, basically!)
2a. Pepper in some other extensions I've forgotten? Undercaves? Depends on if I have time.
3. Ecco Jr (All preped and ready)
4. Full OST of Comix Zone extension videos, since AtGames hates Howard Drossin for some reason
5. Probably Revenge of Shinobi? Or whatever people want most.
6. Oh, I also want to upload some non-AtGames stuff. Nothing special or even Genesis-ajacent, just music I want on YouTube that I don't want clogging up my main channel, like with Cannon Brawl and the MDM2 Album. That said, we pray for no copyright issues. Trust me- I theorize we'll need all the luck we can get, if it's taken this long for someone to upload it.

I've been doing background steps for a while now (re-naming files, chunking out future thumbnails, etc.) during the hiatus, so (hopefully) everything that's left to be made can be made efficiently.

As for the policy regarding games not on the console:
I bought the 6-PAK for $9.99 at a used game store because the base Columns cart was $11.99. And honestly, who would buy Columns for more than $10? I bought it by convenience and coincidence. Having bonus AtGames content was just a side-effect. So in the future: If for any reason buying non-AtGames'd games is convenient (like a discount for buying multiple), I'll keep my eye out for it. That being said, it's not my goal.

Ultimate goal: Finish off my entire availible AtGames catalouge before I hiatus again.
Alright, back to work for me. Thanks for sticking around; have a yelling turtle to reperesent the inner turmoil of those who lisen to AtGames music.

Made an update video on the main channel about what progress has been done over the past month with AtGames, Gain Ground, and other stuff. Things were very bussy, but now I'm back in full swing!

Wow... guess I really cut Vectorman's moment in the spotlight short there, huh...
Anyways, update on what's going on: I'll be out for a week at a minimum, but probably longer than that. Yes, I know it's bad marketing to drop a brand-new AtGames out of nowhere and then to disapear as soon as requests open up, but to be fair, I was so excited to get Ecco out there that I had to push myself to get the rest of the backlog out before then- I wouldn't be able to manage the wait.

Anyways, why I'll be gone: I have a vacation. A good, peaceful, familly vacation. I probably won't have anything more than my phone on me for communicating with the outside world, let alone the technology to do anything substantial on YouTube beyond maybe replying to a few comments. But that's not all- I'm also moving, so I've been spending the past week preparing things like insurance and lease documents, all while also doing this AtGames work (and watching/helping a good Gain Ground PS2 Speedrunner; go check them out). And as soon as I'm back from vacation, I have to move all my stuff to my new place (including picking up things I've bought for the new place that I don't have yet, namely a new bed), and then return to work the next day.

Needless to say, I'm very tired. But I'm not a man to regret; every action I take makes me who I am in the long run- so I'd say it's worth it. My only regret right now is that I've been so focused on everything else, I have no time to prep anything for #FixTF2, which is on June 3rd, right in the middle of my vacation.

Long and short if you don't know what the Team Fortress 2 Bot Crisis is: a group of degenerate trolls with nothing better to do in their lives got together and decided to host a good several (ten?) thousand(s) of Team Fortress 2 accounts run by self-operating computer programs simultaneously for the past five or so years. These accounts, controled by a central computer(s) like the Battle Droids of Star Wars, join lobies in hordes and disrupt games by using the class that has the power to insta-kill if you can land headshots (Snpier) and aimbot such that on the first frame they draw a line to your head, they'll shoot. And that's somehow the least offensive thing they do to the TF2 community- they're racist, they dox people who speak out against them, they use AI voices to impersonate people they don't like and make them say vulgar shit over TF2's chats, they publicly insulted one of the game's beloved voice actors who survived throat cancer but died to COVID a few years back- one YouTuber even got SWATted since the bot hosters didn’t like that he was trying to help the community develop a public anti-cheat since Valve wasn't doing squat.

Feel free to check out my video on the bot crisis from two years ago when we tried to get help the first time- nothing's really changed since then, so you should get a feel for how HORRENDUS things are rather quick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9HyM...
If you thought AtGames sounded bad, you ain't heard SQUAT 'till you've watched that video. I personally recommend Match 10b: Altitude for the barbershop quartet of bots.

So if you read this far and want to thank me, then help us in the TF2 community to get Valve to do something about their rampant bot crisis by signing the official petition at save.tf (as soon as they un-crash the site; it's been so popular that it broke itself in its confusion and only registered 1/5th of the incoming signatures) or by simply giving us upvotes across all social medias on the 3rd.

Anyways: Sorry to rant about TF2 there for so long; it's just really sad and the community deserves better. So in short: No AtGames for a week or longer- even once I'm fully settled in and ready to get back into things, it'll also take time to record new stuff since I drained the backlog for this last burst. Feel free to pile up all the requests I've missed thus far under this post if you'd like (and any games like 3D Blast that people have requested before that I denied but can now do); it'll help me organize a plan/vote once I get back- just don't expect me to respond to a lot of it until I'm back in full.

damn i'm tired; thank y'all for readin; enjoy the GIF I threw together in the last 15 minutes

So: Columns III is out! But we're running low on games left on my console to cover that have sound tests! Let's take a vote!

Also: I'm gonna have lots of recording time coming up, but nothing left to record! Give me extension requests; they're the most convenient. I have Woe Is The World (Comix Zone) and Industrial District (Columns III) extensions marked down from requesters, and uploading Collumns III has inspired me to extend some more of those, but I have time for much more than just that stuff! So toss some extra ideas in here, and I'll use them to fill the empty space!

Bad news and good news, everyone:
Bad news: a few days ago, right after I made the vote post, the entirety of the Mega Drive Mini album was copyright struck, and the videos taken down by YouTube. The only survivor was the Gain Ground one, on account of being on the main channel.

The good news is, the claimant is the same lying dumbass who claimed the aforementioned Gain Ground video a few months back and did nothing when I refuted. So, using that case as evidence, I’ve sent my refute to YouTube. They finally responded back this morning, so in “10 U.S. Business Days”, the album will be back. But until then, the strikes still count against me- imma play it safe for a bit and hold off on new uploads until it gets sorted out.

But hey- that just means you’ve all got more time to sway that vote away from Spinball, and I’ve got more time to get the top-voted stuff finished up! Win-win, either way!

Mantinence Log Updates (And another vote, woho!):

-Overhauled the original AtGames Playlist on the main chanel. Now contains every-AtGames related video I've uploaded on either chanel, be them full OSTs, Extensions, Bootleg content, or otherwise.
-Updated the description of the unlisted AtGames FAQ/Request/Gamelist video to included updated information regarding video progress. Also: Links were added! Don't know why I didn't think of that the first time around, but then again, it's caused me to quickly reach the description text limit on that video, so I'll have to work on it.
-Fixed outdated thumbnails and descriptions across the older videos to be more in-line with this channel's layout(s).
-Uploaded Fight Or Lose (Watch it; it literally slaps)
-Removed Herobrine

Anyways... NEW VOTE TIME LET'S GO:
Let's change things up... not all OSTs are easilly recordable. However, for games like that, there are always extensions- and they make great filler between full OSTs. So- what kind of filler do you want until the next full OST gets made?

...Just to be clear, this will just give me a sense of priority. Expect one or two videos from some loser categories to come out alongside the winner videos, just to help support the load a bit. Like, if you voted for Columns, you'd probably still get Toxic Caves soon, but don't expect me to prioritize doing a deathles run of MBM story mode for OST purposes.

Wow, you guys held out that tie for some time...
Anyways: The winner has been decided! Expect them to come out soon- I'm putting finishing touches on the previously mentioned extensions, which will stagger over the weekend.
Now if you excuse me, main-channel Arial still has to make a Gain Ground 4-3 tutorial video...

Have a happy new year!

VOTE: Next AtGames OST!
Also: Updates on recent requests in post description!

The following extension requests have been recorded:
-Arrow Flash: Stage 3-2
-Fatal Labyrinth: Intro Music
-Golden Axe III: A Voyage to Castle (Stage 5B)
-Sonic Spinball Lava Powerhouse
-Vectorman: "Ocean"
-Virtua Fighter II: "Akira Theme"

These six are in production at the moment- the plan is to have them all uploaded before the next full AtGames OST comes out- which is what you're voting on! So expect the extensions between then and now, whenever "Then" ends up being. And hey- maybe there'll be a few surprise Jewels uploaded during the wait, too ;)
