This time discussing Psygnosis, one of the unsung heroes of the 80s and 90s video game scene despite largely being forgotten. As well as discussing their decline at the hands of Sony
Alright, so my last video didn't do great, so I'm pushing up my next video by a couple of days to compensate. So tomorrow, we take somewhat of a comprehensive look at Psygnosis, one of my favourite old school game publishers, and the tragedy surrounding their decline. It's sort of a pseudo sequel to my video on Humongous entertainment, in the sense that it's a story of another developer/publisher.
I'm disappointed in myself, I was looking back on my Matt Hazard video, and in particular the part of the video where I was discussing the pervasiveness of ironic media in the early 2010s, and there are two things that I only thought up in retrospect that would have been perfect to illustrate that opinion.
1. The Wendy's Twitter account. The first of the snarky and self aware social media accounts used to try and humanize major brands. Which was funny/novel for all of 5 minutes.
2. Retro city rampage. A game that had pretty much the exact same tone as sunset overdrive, but with reference humor instead of a plot.
A new video dropped today in case you missed it, this time ranking all the missions in what I see as the most underrated Grand Theft Auto game. Chinatown Wars.
I was going to release a new video today, but I was up very late last night trying to get the thumbnail to work, and I couldn't get it to a point where I was okay with it before my eyes started glazing over, so expect a new video tomorrow.
This is a video that I threatened to make over a year ago, ranking all the missions in Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars. So look forward to that tomorrow at 9:00 am PST.
So in case you didn't catch it, a new video dropped the other day. This time discussing the mounting red flags I'm seeing in regards to the upcoming TV show.
I've been so caught up with WrestleMania weekend, The Last of Us season 2, and other personal matters which are not my business to go into at the moment; that I forgot to upload the video that I had finished. It's on Early Access on patreon right now, and will be uploaded on Tuesday for everyone else.
I should also mention right now, June 13th is a very big anniversary. It's the 25 year anniversary of one of my favorite games of all time, and I need to make a video worthy of its majesty. Unfortunately, I will not be in town for the week of June 13th. So I need to have that video ready in time, as well as the videos I'm currently working on in order to pad my nest in the meantime. Because said video isn't even fully scripted yet, and it's already looking to be upwards of 50% longer than my longest video on this channel. And I need to have some finished videos for The gap so I don't go a month without videos.
In other words, the next month and a half is going to be fresh hell for me. So wish me luck.
Hello all, so I have a different video coming out tomorrow. Ages ago, I was trying to make a video about the age of irony as I've dubbed it, which was a period in the early 2010s to early 2020s. Where there was a virtual landslide of Media made with an ironic, self-referential sense of humor. It was shelved because I couldn't quite really find the overall point that I was trying to make.
Along comes A game I had only ever heard of called "Eat Lead: The Return Of Matt Hazard" which was a game that predated what I've considered the age of irony, and yet encapsulates so much of what I don't like about that type of media. So this ended up being a video that was half topic, half review of said game. A bit outside of my usual output, but I like how it ended up coming together in the end. So I encourage you all to give it a chance because I feel like it's some of my best work.
Plus, the game in question is absolutely terrible, so if you enjoy me ripping a game apart, it's certainly one of those.
Hello bacon brigade, so I'm happy to announce "Every Twisted Metal Ending Ranked From Worst To Best" has surpassed a million views. Making it the second video of mine to do so. Thank you everyone for making this happen. It's funny, I remember back on July 18th 2021, messaging my friend J's reviews saying "Yo, I have this great idea for a video, and I can't believe it's never been done before" and here we are some 3 and a half years later. Once upon A time, getting 100,000 views seemed impossible, and yet here we are. So thank you, thank you very much
(P.S. this is actually a light Photoshop job, because I missed the exact moment of 1,000,000 views, I caught it at 1,000,001)
