Hey hey!
I hope all of you have been enjoying the Oblivion playthrough! Seems like it will be a long playthrough with lots of awesome episodes to come.
Oblivion has been less-dense than other longform playthroughs as it relates to mental health content, so I decided that I am going to start a second playthrough that will run in parallel to Oblivion.
Which game?
Clair Obscur Expedition 33.
SO MANY of you have been requesting this playthrough, and after looking into it more, I decided I'm going to take a crack at it. You can expect uploads to start here within a couple weeks, but if you don't want to wait, you can stop by my stream over on Twitch and follow along live. My first episode will be tomorrow evening (June 19th) at 9:30pm pacific time.
Two playthroughs at once?! Hell yeah.
You matter!

Hello friends!
Thank you for all of the awesome support of the Red Dead Redemption playthrough. It was a lot of fun to go back through an old classic and analyze it. Which got me thinking - let's roll it back even further and fire up the new Elder Scrolls Oblivion remaster for analysis!
Some of you may be lucky enough to remember my Skyrim run (long lost to the deleted VoD void) - I role played as an Ork and also did a little analyzing on the side. It was great fun, and I intend to handle Oblivion the same way. I'll role play AND provide the analysis that you've come to expect through the years. Lots of laughs, crazy moments, and valuable insights to take away and apply in your own life.
Starts on Twitch tomorrow, and we'll get the VoDs up here ASAP.
See you in Cyrodiil!
You Matter.

Hey everyone!
I recently finished Ghost of Tsushima on Twitch (the episodes will be posted here soon!), but I wanted to give a heads up about the next playthrough. Strap in for Red Dead Redemption 1 with a Therapist!
RDR2 is the most popular playthrough on this channel, and I'm excited to continue the journey now that Rockstar released a remaster of the game. It will begin tonight (February 1st) on Twitch, with episodes dropping here on YouTube right after all of the Ghost of Tsushima episodes are posted.
Let's head back to the wild west and see what ol' Mr. Marston is up to, shall we?
Saddle up and join me on Twitch, or get yourself prepped for the YouTube drop soon.
Either way, thanks for all of your support!
You Matter.

A small and scary (in a good way) update for you all,
Konami was kind enough to send me a code to play the new Silent Hill 2 remake and so we're gonna sprinkle in this playthrough on the weekends. We'll call them Scary Saturdays & Sundays for now. It felt appropriate with it being October and all, even though this will probably take longer to get through than the month of October, but you get the idea.
Ghost of Tsushima with a Therapist will still be uploaded throughout the week as quickly as we can, so don't you fret about those slowing down!
I appreciate you all and I'm looking forward to exploring Silent Hill 2 with you all for the first time!

To those wondering what my next playthrough will be...
It's time to announce Ghost of Tsushima with a Therapist! This game is requested frequently, and I'm excited to finally dive in. I'll be playing the PC version, Director's Cut. Livestreams started last week, and uploads here on YouTube will begin this week.
I can already tell this is going to be one heck of a run, so I hope you'll join me! Make sure you turn on notifications so you know when it drops.
Thanks as always for supporting my channel!

God of War Fans!
Tomorrow, 9/26, I will be posting a very special video collaboration to go along with the release of God of War Ragnarök & Valhalla on PC!
Orion Walker, Senior Writer for Ragnarök & Valhalla, was kind enough to join me for a (mostly spoiler-free) interview/conversation about the ins-and-outs of the many, many dynamics and sources that contribute to how the amazing characters and relationships in the game were crafted.
Big thanks to Sony Santa Monica & PlayStation for coordinating this. If you enjoyed my playthrough of God of War Ragnarök & the Valhalla DLC, or if you've been thinking about jumping into it, this video is for you!
Special shoutout to Sean for his awesome & timely editing work as well.
Check it out tomorrow - and make sure to leave a thumbs up as well as a comment. Your engagement makes a huge difference!

Hey everyone!
I first want to say thank you to all of you for watching my playthroughs. It's been so fun to read all the comments and to see so much engagement. Please keep sharing them!
I'm excited to announce our next long-form playthrough: Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
There will be a slight lull in content over the next week or so before these video start coming out, but I want to announce it to generate a bit of hype for those of you who have been asking for the playthrough. It's also a great opportunity to watch the original Cyberpunk playthrough or refresh your memory on how it all went down.
I've heard nothing but amazing things about this, and I'm looking forward to lots of great analysis.
See you out there!
You Matter.

Hey everyone!
Firstly, thank you for all the kind words on the finale of Horizon Forbidden West. We ARE going to get to the DLC. Just taking a little breather in between our longest playthrough ever on here. And with that breather, we'll be diving into God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla!
Really excited about this and I hope you all are as well.
Part 1 will be dropping tomorrow (2/2) at 9 AM EST on here. As per usual, we'll get the following parts out as soon as we can.
You matter, friends.

God of War Valhalla starts tonight on Twitch, friends!
We recently finished Horizon Forbidden West (46 total parts - we'll get them all uploaded ASAP), which means that I'll be starting my run of God of War Valhalla this evening over on Twitch.
We'll get those VoDs uploaded here as soon as we can, but I figured I'd give a heads up to those of you who might like to stop by Twitch-side and catch it live!
9:30pm Pacific time.
Thanks, as always, for your continued support of my playthroughs!
You matter.
