The Vampire video might be my last video for a little while, as I want to focus on getting the Wintermute videos out this November. These will be 100% wallthroughs. We don't know when Episode 5 is out, but I am guessing early December like their previous releases. It would be nice to have Episode 1-4 walkthroughs done before then, but will see.

For now, I have recorded Episode 1 completely, but its missing some editing and other stuff (Flare patreons can watch it atm).

I may record some other videos in between, but if you do see a larger gap between releases going forward, its because of Wintermute videos :)

Check out this video by ‪@koruandthistle‬ on common ways to die in The Long Dark. How does your run usually end? For me, its hubris.

Hi everyone
OuterMisery 2 will be out later this week, probably the weekend. After that, I hope to make a Halloween special out before the 31st.

However, after that, it is likely content will slow down again, similar to how it was with the long Interloper video. This is because I want to get started on my Wintermute playthrough/walkthrough in preparation for Episode 5, and naturally these should be released in parts corresponding to their episodes... so 4 videos in total (plus Ep5). So if content slows down again, you know why :)

This little video by ‪@mayasaurus‬​ was funny and well edited!

Question: Has anyone ever experienced starting a TLD run and have the character frozen? As in, the game is running but you just stand there and no buttons work?

I wanted to make a video of an old version and after a dozen attempts across three different time capsules, the same error always happens. Hinterland offered to help, but they need session logs and for some weird reason the file isnt stored.

Anyone ever come across this?
Looks like this:

Whats weird is that I did this a month ago and it worked fine.

UPDATE: Found a workaround

For those of you interested in CSGO and/or editing, my friend Anthony has spent the last few years making a movie about Astralis and it is finally about to be done. Check out his trailer here:

In the last episode of Road to 500 Days, we revisited the Campfire Bear cave. If you don't remember where this came from, remember this little highlight reel of silly things that happened in 2023, with Campfire Bear featured at the end :)

Surprise! The interloper walkthrough is now OUT!

I was going to release it on Saturday, as research suggests that waiting 24-48 hours after uploading optimizes the videos promotion to the algorhitm. But its been 45 hours and this way excited viewers can begin the viewing now on Friday evening, rather than waiting an extra day just because of silly algorhitm stuff. So here it is. Enjoy!
