Shoutout to the original written intro to Ken vs Terry... I am SO glad we didn't go with this! One of the many benefits of having a team where you can get feedback on your silly ideas.

Hey everyone! I've got something exciting coming for you all on TUESDAY morning!

We'll be releasing about 2 minutes of Mario vs Mega Man. It's a self-contained 3D fight that should be satisfying even if we aren't able to complete the full episode. While it's not the full 8+ minute animation we are hoping to create one day, it's a great teaser as we wrap up production elsewhere.

I'm also using this video as an opportunity to announce that I've written a book and finished it! It's called "The Seven Rangers" and it's a character-driven high fantasy novel. The story takes place on a floating island that's attacked by an army of a thousand angels (think Bayonetta angels, not traditional ones). When their entire defense force is wiped out, 7 ragtag mercenaries must fight back against impossible odds.

On Tuesday morning, I'm also launching a small Kickstarter with a small goal to cover editing costs. Unlike previous Kickstarters I've run, this one is more low-key and manageable for a single person—and the product is already completed, just needing editing. I'm super excited about the possibility of bringing this book to life and hope some of you will be interested in reading it!

Hey all I wanted to just share what I have been working on behind the scenes. Work is still happening slowly but surely to finish up what we’ve got.

1. King Dedede vs K Rool Audio Drama is almost complete! Just waiting on a few adjustments as I substitute finalized voice lines for our temporary ones I edited to.

2. We’ve been working on making our original vision of Mewtwo vs Sephiroth a reality, including remastering (not reanimating) the episode and adding in the alternate ending. This is adding a lot of extra animation (3+ minutes) and is a much nicer viewing experience. Approach this version less like a vs animation and more like an animated short story. Really excited for it.

3. Our final episode for the channel has had some delays but is slated to be released in December. That will likely be our official goodbye.

4. Mega Man vs Mario is still in limbo. I think it will work out, but I cannot promise definitely one way or another. So fingers crossed but nothing definitive yet.

I want to give a big shout-out to our artist, Carbonated Jem for one of my favorite thumbnails they have done for us so far, made for the upcoming Koopaling Battle Royale Audio Drama.

We've got some fun stuff in the works!

Hey everyone, I wanted to address yesterday's missed stream. I know last Saturday I said I would be streaming a reaction each week until we made it through all of our videos.

As you probably know, I live with bipolar 1. For the last week or so, Iā€˜ve been going through a mixed episode that made it impossible for me to stream as planned. A mixed episode is when you experience both the highs and lows of bipolar at the same time. In clinical terms, it sucks.

I'm doing better today and wanted to be open about why I was absent.

Living with a mental health condition means some days are tougher than others and it is hard to account for when that will be.

I appreciate your understanding and how supportive you have all been through this! I really hope that I can finish out our content on a high note while also raising awareness for something that is such a big part of my life.

I'm looking forward to our next stream. Until then, take care of yourselves!
