Welcome to the wild world of Leafhaven!

My name is Matthew Smart, and on this channel, I host two series.

- Leafhaven is an upcoming Garry's Mod machinima show that takes the iconic Animal Crossing series and ties it to a comedic narrative.

- Matthew Reviews is where I take a look at video games old and new and share my personal experiences with them and determine how well they hold up.

My videos are kept clean so that all ages can enjoy them. Animal Crossing is the property of Nintendo. Please understand that I'm not interested in paid offers at this time.

So SMG4 is officially over now. I'll have one last thing to say about this at a later date, but for now I'll just say thanks again to SMG4 and friends for your fun and creative show. It really meant more than you will ever know.

In the meantime, I've got a cool unrelated video going up on my channel in a couple of hours. So look forward to it. :D

Merry Christmas, y'all! As a special little surprise, I made a new YouTube Poop of all things about The Muppet Christmas Carol for Schaffrillas Productions' collab! You can find it on my second channel right here. https://youtu.be/2TFo9PXUrL8

You guys should absolutely watch the newest SMG4 episode for no particular reason whatsoever. https://youtu.be/Cb_UngT1Kgc

I've got a new second channel video today! This time, we're talking about the sad state of video game preservation as SEGA removes the original version of Yakuza 0 from digital storefronts in a few days to make way for the "superior" Director's Cut. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjLYX...

Main channel uploads will return very soon, and I only have about 1-2 more of these side channel discussions I'll be uploading for the rest of the year, so they shouldn't take much time away from this channel.

When Matthew Reviews comes back next year, what kinds of games would you like to hear me talk about more? Super Monkey Ball is already a lock, but I'd appreciate knowing what else I should prioritize. Thanks. :D

To all Matthew Reviews viewers, what are some of your favorite moments from the series? I'm putting together a Best Of compilation from the first 8 episodes (that'll now be dubbed as Season 1), and I'm wondering if there are any funny or memorable bits that stick out to you in particular that I haven't considered adding. Please let me know in the comments.

My friend, ‪@seannaboy‬, made this really funny video about Evil Matthew Stuart for Blooper Day. I voice Stuart, Mario, and myself in the video. I watched Sean make this all day on Monday, and it turned out great. So I really hope you give it a watch and subscribe to his channel for more SM64 videos like this.

This'll also be one of the last videos I participate as Evil Matthew Stuart in as I move onto Leafhaven, so please enjoy the moment while it lasts.

Dear, Leafhaven heads. So due to many personal factors in my life, unless I were to work on this every hour of every day, sadly I don't think the Leafhaven pilot is going to come out by the end of the year like I promised. This project is basically my baby, and I refuse to show it to the world in such a sloppy state.

That said, this December, I'm gonna be releasing at least the first scene of the pilot as a sneak peek on the channel. I figured that would somewhat make up for it, and the stinger at the end I think will help set the tone real nicely and get y'all excited for what's to come.

I'm really sorry for constantly promising dates and deadlines for my projects over the years only for them to not happen. I'm learning to keep my mouth shut until things are actually done, but I will say my motivation is very strong right now, and I hope you'll see that in the final product.

In other news, one of my friends made a really stinky and awesome video about me that's coming out tomorrow. I'll share it here once it goes live. I'll see you all again soon. And to my American viewers, have a happy Thanksgiving!

To those that watch my Matthew Reviews episodes, I could use your input for the future of this channel. With Leafhaven around the corner and me pouring my energy into that, but still wanting a place to talk about video games, do you think I should continue making Matthew Reviews videos as they are alongside Leafhaven, should I move them to a more low-stakes casual unscripted setting on my second channel, or should I try to have both of them co-exist? My heart hasn't been into Matthew Reviews quite as much for personal reasons, and while I can continue it, I need to shake it up a bit so that it feels fun to make for me again. So let me know your thoughts.

Friendly reminder that I have a Bluesky page! This is the number 1 place to go for updates on Leafhaven, other videos, gaming thoughts, memes, etc. If you'd like to know more about the man behind the madness, check me out over there. I'm gonna become REALLY annoying about Kirby Air Riders over the next week, so if you're into that, consider it a bonus.
