Hello there!
with Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2 coming to a close soon-ish (~2 weeks from NOW!) , it is time to find out what game is next for us! :D

As usual, i want to include you in this "issue" so i prepared 3 choices for you :)
(Dragon Ball will return eventually, no worries, but lets do something else for a change)

Option 1: Naruto - Ultimate Ninja Storm.. we would start with the first one of course BUT i do own the entire series (1,2,3 Full Burst, 4 and Revolution) so we would work our way through all of them if you want :D i have played through 3 full burst and revolution but i havent touched 1, 2 and 4 at all so those would be blind. I dont know how much content the games have to offer but i would try to show as much as possible of course :D

Option 2: Akuji - The Heartless.. well, this is an odd pick for the channel, i know :D this is a game my dad played when i was a kid but he could never finish it (he didnt know where to go eventually so he got stuck), and i always wanted to finish it myself but havent really given it a try yet :D I dont remember anything from the game cause its been too long but i would use a guide (similar to Legend of Legaia or Grandia) to make this a 100% playthrough :)

Option 3: One Piece - Pirate Warriors 3.. while this is technically the third game of the series, its also the first one to be released on PC and it starts where the anime/manga starts too and it covers a lot of the anime/manga (even more than i watched.. :D) and we havent done any one piece content in quite a while :D like naruto, i dont know how much content this game has for us but i would try to cover as much as possible of course :D

this poll shall start NOW and end either when BT2 concludes (i got like 6 or 7 more videos planned) or the weekend following its conclusion (cause we dont start new games on fridays here, thats stupid :D)

make your pick and feel free to give me other suggestions of course, my list of games for the channel keeps getting longer and longer and has pretty much all genres on it (except stuff that isnt suited for youtube of course) so dont think your suggestion is bad or anything! :D

im looking forward to the results, thank you for participating, tell your family and friends to vote,
see you soon! :D

--- POLL WILL BE RUNNING FOR ~2 WEEKS (~MARCH 2ND) ---

Hello There! :D

as you may know, Legend of Legaia is nearing its End (~5 or 6 videos left, not sure yet) so its time for another Poll! :D

i picked 4 games i would like to play on the channel, let me explain what these 4 games are and what the playthrough would be like :)

(if you dont know the games, feel free to look up gameplay to see what they look like and what they are about :D)

OPTION 1 : ShaoLin (also known as Way of Fist) (PS1)
i loved playing this game as a kid but i havent quite beaten it yet :D
we would do the Story Mode where we start as a little Kid and grew up as we progress through the story. the game has multiple fighting styles (Drunken Boxing or Jeet Kune Do for example) and each style has its own Story and starting Point. I would start with ONE of the styles and do more later, not all of them in a row :) which one would be first i dont know yet, maybe we go in selection order, meaning Shaoling-Style would be first. Its not a Blind Playthrough cause i know the game and its mechanics but i dont remember the story mode at all :D

OPTION 2 : The Granstream Saga (PS1)
its a very underrated and unique RPG which i havent beaten yet but always wanted to :D
the combat system is really interesting cause its not turn based and for some enemies you have to strategize how you attack and how often you attack :D
i dont remember the story all too well and i have NEVER seen a walkthrough BUT to avoid missing stuff, i will use a similar guide i used for Legend of Legaia to give YOU the best watching experience i can :D

OPTION 3 : Grandia 1 (PS1 OR STEAM, idk yet!)
if you know about PS1 RPGs, you have probably heard of Grandia before :D
its the typical "young boy goes on an adventure and ends up saving the world" story but its really great.
the PS1 version has 2 CDs and i have only ever finished the first one BUT i have seen playthroughs so its not a blind playthrough :) i will also use a treasure guide to avoid missing crucial items.

(IDK if the versions have major differences but i think the ps1 version looks better and having savestates for recording purposes is a good advantage :D)

Grandia has 2 Sequels but its really only in name, they dont share the same story or characters. I will also do Grandia 2 eventually BUT i WONT do Grandia 3 cause it differs too much from Grandia 1 and 2 and i personally didnt enjoy watching gameplay of it.. and if i, the player, dont enjoy it, im not sure i could make a good playthrough for you, the viewers :D

OPTION 4 : DRAGON QUEST XI - ECHOES OF AN ELUSIVE AGE (STEAM)
i bought it for my birthday last year during the christmas sale and it looks like a lot of fun but i havent found the time to play it yet so this would be a COMPLETELY BLIND PLAYTHROUGH (i have a treasure guide ready tho).
i played DQ9 on the NDS as a kid and i really enjoyed it (also on my list for youtube :D) so i hope DQ11 is similar in terms of fun :D

to sum it up:
1 Blind playthrough (Option 4), 3 semi-blind playthroughs (Option 1-3), i have guides ready for all of them to avoid missing important items and to give you the best viewing experience :) Episode Length depends on the game and pace of the episode as usual, im not a fan of saying "each episode is 20 minutes long" but by now we found a good way for the playthroughs i think :D

hello there! :D

we actually did it, we hit ONE THOUSAND SUBSCRIBERS! 🎉🥳

to imagine so many people in one room is quite unbelievable, although it may not seem like much compared to others of course :D

its like an early Birthday Present cause i wanted to hit 1k Subs by the end of this year and we actually got there! :D

thank you very much to each and every single one of you out there :)

i dont have a 1k-subs special ready at the moment but i´ll think of something cool, dont worry :D

hello there! :D

i did some tests with Sparking Zero (as mentioned in todays video) and during those tests i also tried out various recording settings (bitrate, fps etc.)

and while different bitrates are easy to see in my opinion, im having a hard time seeing a difference between 30fps and 60fps, even while looking at both next to each other :D

now, this wont change anything cause i will still record and upload sparking zero in 60fps BUT im curious if im the only one who doesnt see any difference :D

well, i guess it looks a bit more fluent on 60fps but surely thats not all there is to it, is it?

so, i wanna ask you:
can you see a difference between 30 fps and 60fps?
and if so, feel free to write a comment with what the differences are :D

Hello There! :D

first of all, thank you for 800 Subscribers! When i see this number and imagine 800 people in one place, thats an amazing feeling! :D

Now, im not sure what to play next so i want to ask you :)

i picked 3 games from my list i want to play soon-ish as well as the current showcase game/hack, Vandal Hearts 2 :)

let me tell you about the games so you know what type of playthrough they would be:

first we got Vandal Hearts 2 with the Take Turns Hack. I already recorded 3 Episodes and i will finish the prologue regardless of this poll. BUT if you want to see more of it and vote for it (or if it gets tons of views) i will continue and try to beat it! It wont be a 100% run cause we already did that without the hack but it will be the full Story and i will grab items that i feel are useful for us :)
Note that the Hack also automatically has Advanced Mode by default so the lategame will be interesting and challenging im pretty sure :D

next we got Legend of Legaia, one of my favorite games although i have never beaten it so far! :D
you might see a familiar face on the cover, thats Vahn, the Main Character and my Profile Picture :D
If Legend of Legaia wins the poll, i will try my best to make a 100% playthrough where i collect all treasures, collect all capturable Seru, beat the Story and try to beat the Optional Boss!

then we got Aqua GT, another game from my childhood which i used to play a lot :D
we play as different kinds of boats and have to win different cups and races to beat the game with ever increasing gear and faster boats :D i havent tested it yet tho so idk how it will perform cause i remember it having wonky controls.. i have beaten all cups ONCE as a kid and i remember it being quite hard in the final cup :D
its kinda like the old hot wheels games but without transforming and without pick ups (i think?)

and last we got Rayman, a playstation classic i would say. its known for being one of the hardest games of its time and to this day i have not beaten it legit ever :D in order to beat the game you need to find all 6 cages in all levels and some cages are well hidden or hard to reach BUT i have seen enough speedruns to know where they all are now :D i also have the sequel, Rayman 2 on my list as well as Rayman Rush :) im not a fan of Rayman 3 but who knows, maybe one day i´ll give it another shot :)

regardless of your choice and the results, all votes are appreciated of course! also, feel free to comment other ideas or suggestions, im always open for new games for most platforms :)

i dont have an exact date for when i will close the poll but its gonna run at least until the Prologue of the Take Turns Hack is finished so id say you have ~2 weeks to pick your poison and tell your friends and family to vote for the next adventure! :D

anyways, have a great week and im looking forward to the outcome!

Hello There! :D

as you may know, Dragon Ball Final Bout is arguably the most successful game on the channel and i want to bring it back :)

the idea is to see how far we can build our Character (SSJ4 Goku this time) aka what is the highest lvl we can achieve :D

this will be like a side-project, first we do the usual build up blocks like before and then we will do an episode every weekend or so :)

Now, here is where you come into play :D

usually we alternate between the german version (with japanese voices) and the usa-version (english voices). i checked what we did last time and so it WOULD be the german version now, however since im fine either way, i want to let you decide :D

so, which version should i play? :)
make your pick below! :D

there is no starting date yet but its gonna be soon-ish :)

have a great weekend!

Hello There! :D


let me share my project-idea with you! :D

as you may or may not know, i have a ton of ps1 games..



i havent counted them, ever, but if i had to guess id say i have at least 200 different ps1 games if not more and most of them i havent even played before so.. here is my idea:



what if i make one video for EACH game (length depends on genre and pacing of course), like a sneak-peek if you will, and if i like the game enough (or you want to see it :D) i will make those games into full projects?





to me that sounds quite interesting because it gives me the chance to (maybe) find hidden gems amongst my games and it also brings variety to the channel :D



anyways, let me know what you think about it :)




also, i mentioned it before but:
if you have suggestions for games you want me to play, let me know! :D



there arent many requirements, my PC can run almost every game i think, just be sure it fits the Youtube-Guidelines and isnt some NSFW stuff, thats content id rather not have on this channel :D

see you soon! :)

Hello There! :)
earlier this week (Monday) we started DBZ Budokai 3 and we can choose between english and japanese voices so im asking you, which do you prefer? :D

lets have this poll running for 2 weeks or so and see what you prefer, im fine with both :)

Takeas Realm

so.. with Final Bout coming to a close in ~2-3 weeks (im running out of ideas because i covered essentially everything the game has to offer..)
i want to ask YOU what you want to see next! :D

originally i had 5 ideas but lets stick to these 3 for now (of course, feel free to suggest other games as well :D)

these are the choices:
DBZ Budokai 3 - Collectors Edition (PS2)
i have never played it before but i know its quite popular :D
the reason i picked Budokai 3 instead of 1 or 2 is that i feel like its the best of its trilogy and nothing prevents us from covering the other 2 later :)

DBZ Legacy of Goku 1 (GBA)
i started playing it many years ago and what i remember was quite fun :D
i will also cover Legacy of Goku 2 and 3 (Buus Fury..) later down the line :)

DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (PS2)
i have completed it once and had a great time :)
i also enjoyed BT2 but it has so many battles.. i think it would be a bit too long.. maybe later though! :D


Budokai 3 and Legacy of Goku would essentially be Blind Playthroughs so idk if i can do 100% playthroughs
Budokai Tenkaichi 3 would be close to 100%, depending on how grindy it gets and how you guys like the playthrough :D

We will cover all 3 eventually anyways BUT i want to have you decide which one we tackle first :)
