The Crawl

So, I caught that brutal flu that's going around, which has knocked me out the past week. Good news is, the script for the next video is done and all video footage is captured. Need to record VO (would've been done by now if not for getting sick). Aiming to upload by the end of the month! Topic preview in the linked images... lmk if you can guess what it is.

In the meantime, if you're looking for more Crawl content, don't forget there's The Crawl Collabs playlist on the channel's page, and exclusive bonus videos on the shill site.

Hey friends! Hope 2025 is closing out on a positive note for you all. I'm chipping away at the next upload, but in the meantime, I joined ‪@Wayneisboss‬, ‪@TheGoldenBolt‬, and ‪@ThatTravGuy‬ on ‪@CrubOfficial‬ to talk about Metroid Prime 4.

I got a few more podcast appearances scheduled over the coming weeks, so stay tuned for those.

I wanna give this video and channel a quick shout out! I'm always stoked to see more people playing and enjoying FFXI, and this video perfectly illustrates the wild journey this game can still provide over two decades since launch. This is ‪@Lofileveling‬'s second FFXI video so far, go give both a watch!

New Article: A Meditation on Metroid Prime 4.

I beat Metroid Prime 4 a couple nights ago. 100% items, it took 16 hours and change. It did weird things to my brain, and I needed to write about it. But since it came out too short for a video script, I turned it into another magazine-style article like my Monster Hunter Wilds review. So enjoy this unplanned meditation on the fourth Metroid Prime game. Full article in the images, hi-res version free on Patreon.

I'll be back again soon with more videos and other updates. Talk soon!

While you’re waiting for the next video (hopefully posting in a week or so), I was once again on ‪@thedaydreamcast2961‬ to talk about Diablo 1, Symphony of the Night, FF Tactics, and House of Necrosis!

The Crawl

I'm in another book! I got the chance to write about one of my all-time favorite visual artists, Ayami Kojima (Castlevania, Vampire Hunter D, Dynasty Warriors), for Lock-On Vol. 006! This is now the second time I've been featured in a Lost In Cult book. If you get a chance to check out, there are are dozens of other great writers and artists featured, with articles on everything from Final Fantasy, Metroid Prime, Zelda, Castlevania Symphony of the Night (like mine!), and more.

(Btw--I got sick this week, which delayed the next video, but that should be uploaded in about a week!)

Official THE CRAWL Apparel Is Now Available!

the-crawl-merch.printful.me/



Over the last few weeks I (finally) put together the first wave of THE CRAWL merch. We've got two unisex T-shirt designs and a unisex sweatshirt design up for grabs. All illustrations and logos are drawn and designed by me -- ZERO genAI.



*A couple important notes:* First, shipping is currently US-only, but I'm working to expand that internationally ASAP. Second, these shirts are made to order, so shipping can be a little longer than usual. Also, this is just the first batch of merch -- stay tuned for stickers and prints/posters coming soon, and more apparel designs in the future!



Finalizing the apparel designs and setting up the new merch store took a little longer than I expected, so the next video is still a little ways off, but I'll be back with a new upload soon!
