That moment where you have to turn down potentially thousands of dollars of sponsored revenue because any additional workload would send you into a mental breakdown.

I think I'd like to take another stab at a couple of my older videos. In particular, my Volition Retrospective and my Spider-Man 2000/Enter Electro video. I didn't research thoroughly enough for the Volition video, and the Spider-Man video was rushed out to coincide with Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

So the finished audio for my 200 video is 185 minutes. Including an extended cameo, it'll make sense once the video is out. Boy I can't wait for this shit to be done. Why do I need 185 minutes for a video? Because the subject matter of the video can only be described with this gif.

I guarantee you that 99% of the people who are bitching about the topic of abortion in Invincible are bad faith actors who have never actually watched the show, or read the comic.

"are you sure?"

Now that I have my own place, there will come a day where I adopt a couple of cats. I once had a dream where I rescued a black cat and couldn't figure out a name, so I defaulted to "Buddy" because that's my generic greeting, and the name stuck But I can't think of a good name that would go with it

199 is done, now 200 is all that remains. This next video might just be the end of me.

God damn Bluesky, not even letting me joke about my taxes

Guess who just got his taxes done

I would like to make a few declarative statements about art styles in gaming. Because the topic frustrates me. 1. Realism is an art style 2. There are more art styles than simply realistic or cartoony. There are a lot of styles within these two categories 3. Neither is inherently better or worse

I saw there was some discourse on Twatter about why YouTube game reviewers don't do the whole "comedy focused, skit-filled, story driven" reviews with like, evil doppelgangers and such anymore Simple answer, we outgrew that shit. If you don't enjoy making it, it won't be sincere. Just how it is.

I know I'm not the first to point this out, but this was literally my first thought when watching the latest episode of Invincible.

Me: Literally couldn't sleep and decided to give up on it Also me: Re-records half a script due to subpar audio in said sleep deprived state Why do I do this to myself?

It's so refreshing to work on a project I'm legitimately passionate about. Piecing together the story of Eurocom through various interviews has been some of the most fun I've had producing a video in ages.

You know, I'm not really into cartoons, but I would watch the shit out of a Jeff The Shark animated series

Kind of amusing to me that whenever I "fail" to bring up anti-woke talking points in my videos, there are people who take it as a slight against them. As if their unhinged beliefs are so irrefutable, that me not bringing them up must mean something devious. As opposed to what it actually is...

I was replaying XCOM Enemy Unknown (Or enemy within, but the distinction doesn't matter) a couple weeks ago, and decided to spice things up by changing the lists that randomize the mission names; to make all the mission titles funny. These are a few of my favorite random mission names.

It's funny in a cosmic sort of way, in an upcoming video that I've already recorded for, I mentioned Highguard as an example of a live service game flop and described it as "floundering, despite good numbers day one". In the few days between recording that audio, the game shuts down. Damn.

(E33 Spoilers) This is probably the worst thing I've ever made

I was just talking to a friend about the Game Awards, the biggest issue is that the categories are bullshit, especially as it pertains to Indie games, because what it means to be Indie is vague. E33 and Silksong are both independently funded, but are different levels of the same thing.

My wall of art is complete

Is it just me, or does my portrait of Verso have the same energy as a portrait of Jesus?

Well, after sacrificing two days to the gods, I finished God of War: Sons of Sparta. I can confidently say it is probably my second least favorite god of war game, and simultaneously the overall worst game in the series. Despite liking it better than ascension, Ascension is a less flawed game.

It's more complex than this obviously, but there's no denying that whenever you see someone talking about "what a time to have been alive" it always coincides with when they grew up. Everybody feels that way about their era. Every era is special, but your era isn't more special than other's eras.

So I've been playing Expedition 33 at the request of my friends that have been bugging me to play it. Last night I just got to the end of act one...

Why the fuck did I make this?

I like cats, that is all

Not to brag, but I accidentally cooked here

You know, what does Logan Paul even do? I'm not making a joke, outside of the Japan incident, I've never seen a single moment of his videos. What does he even do and how did he get his popular as he has?

Well, just had my first major frustration as a homeowner. My entire internet service provider is out right now.

Every time I log into this website, I'm always reminded that 99% of online wrestling fans are giant cunts. I've pledged to never cover wrestling on my channel because of the amount of toxicity in this fan base. It's more toxic than even The Last of Us. I don't say that lightly.

I just finished my behemoth two and a half hour Christmas video

You know, I hate gen AI as much as the next guy, but I think people are getting a little bit overzealous. E33 used AI to make some temporary textures which were later replaced by legitimately made textures. What's the problem here? Nobody's losing their job over temporary textures.

I hung the framed posters in the stairway of my new house, so I now present "the Father the son and the Holy Spirit"

Playing SoulCalibur II when suddenly...

Playing SoulCalibur II when suddenly...

It doesn't cease to baffle me how people will still consider me "The Twisted Metal guy" despite Twisted Metal making up 10% of my output this year, and it will be less by the end of the year. Nobody even watches my Twisted Metal videos anymore. Like where is any of this coming from?

Me: I refuse to use the "W" word in my videos, because I have a hard-line stance against using meaningless buzzwords in place of actual criticism or analysis. Those people in my comment section:

One universal truth, anybody trying to correct Exo on tech or specs swiftly learn that their arms are too short to box with god.

And the beautiful irony is that the people pushing for it hardest still wouldn't be able to get laid if it happened. Women could have literally no other option, and it still wouldn't make these people any less repulsive.

What a fucking day... I'd elaborate, but that would require something like 16 follow-up posts.

Going back into my comment history and seeing the types of things I was commenting on YouTube 10+ years ago

It's official, my old faithful laptop that got me through the first two years of TBP has officially croaked. Literally blue screens on startup every time now.

Some people have taken issue with the fact that I said that exclusive games are inherently anti-consumer They literally are though, it restricts the ability for players to play games they want. But they are system sellers, so it's a catch 22. But both things can be true at the same time

I was thinking about the song Wasted Years, and found myself curious. I came to find out that song released on the 5-year anniversary of Bruce Dickinson joining the band. My channel is turning 5 in a few months. My channel is coming up on it's Wasted Years birthday. youtu.be/Ij99dud8-0A?...

Ian Watkins is dead

Me writing a video idea I've had for ages: "Man, this really isn't coming together very well" After finishing the script: "Actually, this is fire"
