I'm Brad (formerly went by Rasen or Rasen Bran, don't anymore!) I do a wide range of video content with an emphasis on video games - reviews, podcasts, let's plays, stream archives, video essays, and more! I'm interested in exploring what entertainment and stories can achieve and what they mean to us in the internet age. This channel and the community surrounding it aims to be a place for fun, intelligent, and emotional discussion from and for people with a passion for media. Also feel free to follow me on Twitter (where I spend most of my time) and Twitch (where I should spend more of my time) as well.

Hey gang! Apologies for the silence for a long while now, but I'm slowly easing my way back into making regular videos after spending a good long while enjoying life, progressing in my career, traveling, and making new friends. Got a new, beefy computer, and I plan on putting it to good use. Expect more from me before the end of the year!
In the meantime, if you're interested in keeping up with me, I've been active over on Bluesky! Here's a link: bsky.app/profile/beinvoked.bsky.social

We're making some changes in 2024. Video out soon. This year's my creative Hail Mary, we're gonna see how and where it goes. Hope you all have a Happy New Year and look forward to new horizons.

Well this is unexpected!!!
Looks like the Nocturne Tabletop RPG... Is getting an official English release?! This rules, I never thought we'd see this material get brought out in an official capacity out west. Certainly happy it's getting a (hopefully) professional quality release that'll definitely be cleaner than whatever hackjob I'd have thrown together.
Here's an Amazon link for those curious, I've already pre-ordered mine: a.co/d/bS9sZ3W
Naturally, I'm sure people are going to ask what this means for that Awakening Edition project I was working on... very slowly. Don't really know yet, but I think the answer is almost certainly "probably not very wise to keep it going if they're putting out other editions of the same game out officially." I hope they don't stop at Nocturne, because at the very least Awakening Edition seems real cool and I'd love to own an English copy on my game shelf.
That being said... I uh, I did buy these books, and I'm an archival/preservation person at heart. I'll see what I can do in terms of scanning the raws and putting them up somewhere, finally (I should have done it by now tbh, just a very slow process lol)

Hey friends I'm about to record my TEN YEAR YOUTUBE ANNIVERSARY video and I thought it'd be fun to slap on a Q&A right at the end. If you have any questions about my time on YouTube/making things ask away

Ultra Queue is back with another episode! It involves a giant balloon monster showing up and jets firing missiles at it and we definitely don't joke around about similarities to recent events at all. twitter.com/ultra_queue/status/1627321271552774144…

I've been a little under the weather (again D:) so sorry for the lack of videos. But you know what's still been happening as I've been away? Ultra Queue! In this episode of the pod we cover Ultra Q episodes 7, 8, and 9: A wild forest man with a gun does a Shadow of the Colossus-style takedown of a giant rock creature! An angry scientist who can't be normal about women makes a giant mole monster! Giant Resident Evil spiders show up in the most haunted house of all time! Watch Ultra Q and listen to our show, we're having such a great time.

Ultra Q is going places and Ultra Queue is here for the ride! Check out this week's pod to hear how an episode about a flying turtle brought back memories of me being shot as a child yet still somehow sits as my favorite episode of tokusatsu I've ever seen. anchor.fm/ultra-queue/episodes/Ep-2---The-Boy-Who-…
