I'm not crazy about posting much work-in-progress stuff at this point in the development of "my" game (too many ppl contributing for me to truly call it mine) but I'm happy to report that things are moving at their intended pace. Playtest soon, stay tuned if you're interested!

This is a special announcement from the Federal Bureau of Control. Please pay close attention and follow the instructions. Thank you. CONTROL Resonant releases in 2026. Wishlist now! #CONTROLResonant

just a little talking and sharing, just a little update, just a little chat

Today I listed my Remedy VHS tapes on eBay. I am raising money to make a video game! Other listings are starting (and have sold) at $300. That is nuts! I have started the bidding at the retail price I paid, with free shipping. Every dollar goes into making a sick game FOR YOU

Okay! New video up now on CONTROL Resonant! I feel like I haven't slept in three days! Wow! I am very excited for this game! Reposts much appreciated!

3.5 hours on Harvester, courtesy of Hidden Machine. You're welcome!

Hello! Dropping by to say there is a new seasonal update video where I go into detail on what is happening with the channel lately and what is happening with the video game that I am developing!

Watching a bit of gameplay from Cronos: The New Dawn. Looks cool, but I would like to ask all horror developers to put a five-year moratorium on fuse box puzzles and creepy mannequins. Please. Think of something else. There's an enormously scary world out there, take from it!

I'm sorry, no free feet on Hidden Machine

Gave up on trying to hit 100 million points in a single hand in Balatro and wound up hitting 177.1 billion instead. Damn! The funny thing is, I couldn’t clear the final hand of Ante 8.

Finally booted up the "Max Gay-ne" mod that I found on an old CD-ROM archive. At first, I was like, "oh, this just kinda makes him look like the Postal Dude." Then I saw the front

Six months later, Yeah, I've Played is back with a four-hour episode on DEAD TAKE

This game is so much fun! It’s similar to Vampire Survivors, but with an old school CRPG presentation, more developed combat, and a lot of secrets to discover.

Rubbing my bare feet together like a cricket as I sleepily get into bed and queue up the most unhinged 9 hour long conspiracy theory video I can find

8-bit home computers are a huge blind spot for me. Can anyone make some recommendations for games to check out? I am interested in pretty much any genre.

Is there a game that you think is objectively "bad", but you still love playing it? Whether it's poor writing, poor design, buggy, whatever. I love a lot of the old LJN games for the NES, even though they are often brutally unforgiving and confusing.

Watching Jordan replay Alan Wake 2 and I'm seeing so many things I missed before. I've been writing an analysis of this game since it launched, and I still feel like I need a few more play throughs to digest certain parts.

Jordan going LIVE with more Alan Wake 2 at 7pm ET! That's in an hour from now! See ya there!

Just had a data transfer get corrupted. Also just canceled my cloud storage backup. I lost the entirety of the game I've been working on all summer! All gone! Thankfully it was placeholder visuals, but I have to rewrite everything else from scratch now. Pain!

Just heard that Nintendo is making a movie about the Gulf War Game Boy

I saw Busta Rhymes perform earlier tonight. He was great, but he had AI generated video playing behind him through his entire set, including AI generated celebrities wishing him well and saying that they loved him. It was atrocious. Even his own music video clips were AI filtered

heading out of town tomorrow to catch the great New York State Fair, I'll be sure to take a picture of the butter sculptures for everyone

I wonder if we could hit 10,000 by the end of the year. I am kind of mortified by the idea of ever having a “large” channel, mostly because any time we have a successful video or post it brings out the worst chuds, but it’s nice to connect with ppl who like what we do.

Lately I am feeling the itch to play guitar again. I bought an octave pedal and have been having a blast just playing single note riffs with no chords. I'm playing on a baritone guitar which is already very heavy. The recording quite doesn't do the enormity of this sound justice.

It's been so many years since I last played this, but I still have every secret location in the first three or four levels burned very deep into my memory. Even though I could rush through levels very quickly, I love taking it slow and exploring, even after so many times through.

Jordan is going live with more Alan Wake 2 right now!

new little update vid on the second channel!

Everything they put out is top notch!

Jordan and I are finally back in a good rhythm with Yeah, I’ve Played (our longform game discussion show). Our next two planned episodes are Harvester and God of War (2018). Do you have any suggestions for games that you’d like to see us cover?

Just had a quick 10-minute session with the BALL x PIT demo. Damn! Very addictive. It's a scrolling brick breaker type game mixed with roguelite combat and what appears to be some light resource management/base building stuffs. Very cool!

Sending a big THANK YOU to all who have picked up Alan Wake: Design Works through our affiliate link! All money that Hidden Machine makes goes right back into our videos, the support is super helpful! If you're still looking to grab one, here's our link: bit.ly/HiddenMachin...

Jordan and I are getting ready to do a Yeah, I've Played episode on THRESHOLD. Do you have any questions or comments about the game that you would like us to include in this episode?

Jordan is going live in fifteen minutes! 8:45 pm ET!

Really awesome to Remedy hit thirty years! In my research for the channel, I'm always finding great studios that go under too soon. Seeing Remedy continue to make great games and strive for independence is very inspiring! #RMD30

Super stoked! We got a video here going over a bit about Lost in Cult and a preview of the book! youtu.be/gkpGh1ym2A8

I didn't think this was going to be revealed until 1pm ET, but since the cat is out of the bag, I can tell you that we'll have a little preview video up on the channel today and that you can use code HIDDENMACHINEALAN for 5% off. I love Lost in Cult and am happy to endorse them!

I can't believe that Geoff personally invited us to co-stream gamescom Opening Night Live

Did anyone else enjoy MTV Sports: Skateboarding on Dreamcast? I was looking up reviews from when it came out and was surprised to see that Gamespot called it "unplayable" and one of the worst games of 2000!

did any other Entourage fans play Dead Take and keep calling the main character Vinny Chase (for context, the two main leads are named Vinny and Chase)

~40,000 words and 18 pages later I have finished a video script that I've been working on all summer. Needs to go through a couple of checks, but phase one is complete. Very excited to get this one wrapped up!

I know it's a good episode of Yeah, I've Played when I go to bed afterward filled with anxiety over whether or not we said something too awful to publish

What are some financially successful solo dev games from 2000-2014? The industry began with teams of 1-4 people, and then teams ballooned (and are still getting bigger). I took a long while for solo dev games to become financially viable again, I'm trying to establish a timeline.

Jordan is going live with more Alan Wake 2 in less than 30 minutes from now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mX4...

We're shooting a Yeah, I've Played on DEAD TAKE today. Do you have any questions or comments about the game that you'd like us to cover?

I found the note in #DragonAgeVeilguard that's a Darling/ Control reference!! I'm giggling at how much of a parallel it is 😂

hey hey hey

Just finished Dead Take. Will be meeting with Jordan this week to make a video on it!

I covered this game on the channel when it came out. A pretty tight space shooter with some unique ideas, DEFINITELY worth it at that this price! youtu.be/fa-k--Ewi8w?...
