Patreon Party People Podcast - January 2018
Basically nothing happened over the course of December that's worth talking about on a podcast, so it's time for Game of the Year! I go through my Backloggery and talk about every game I finished. Or, well... most, anyway.Important Links Free Game: Synchronicity Prologue + Translation Patch "Free" Game: Half-Life C.A.G.E.D. Another Game I Mentioned: Aliens Go Home Run! Also This Game: Super Fancy Pants Adventure A Game I Forgot to Mention: Nakiti GenerationsMusic Intro: Mirage Sa...
Patreon Party People Podcast - December 2017
Strap in for maximum rambling and more disasters than you can shake a stick at. Maybe you'd like some cheese with your whine?Links I mention in the podcast: The Big Twitter Moment of "The Packening": 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 The gruesome hospital visit postHere's the music for this podcast: Intro: Checkpoint by Hyper Potion Mid: Cabin Fever from Friday the 13th NES Outro: I'm Back (to Rise) from Killer Instinct Season 2
The Yoshi's Island Video That Never Was (Raw Audio)
A month or two before I got my nice U37 microphone, I wrote and narrated a video about Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island and the state of the Wii U Virtual Console.After that, something else grabbed my attention and though I vowed to go back to this Yoshi's Island video, I uh, never did. While backing up files just now in preparation to reinstall Windows, I happened upon the raw audio for this video.Given that the Wii U is dead, the Virtual Console has yet to launch on the Switch, an...
Sonic Mania Video Review: The Raw, Uncut Audio
So I've uploaded bloopers from my videos before, but rarely are they super funny (you'll note, I haven't uploaded any in a while).So, instead, here's the full length, uncut, raw audio for my reading of my Sonic Mania video review script. Every time I mess up a line, all of the noisy breaths I take, and all of the gross, sloppy mouth sounds you can (or can't!) handle. But also: my entire Sonic Mania video review script! So you can file this under heavy spoilers. If you were wa...
Patreon Party People Podcast - November 2017
No, you're not dreaming. Sometimes I wish I was, though. Music: Gruntilda's Medley from Banjo-Kazooie Symphony
The State of Things
I had wanted to turn this in to a podcast. I got my microphone out of storage and everything. Unfortunately, the way things are right now, that's not possible, and won't be for a while.I've been in Nevada about a month and a half now. Things are very difficult out here. Climate-wise, it's not too different from Colorado, and as long as we're in the city, it's virtually indistinguishable from anywhere else. Actually, in spite of Carson City being the state capitol, it feel...
I'm hearing double
I found this kicking around my harddrive. It's from the big "How Do We Fix Sonic?" video, where I took two different takes and... well, you'll see. Or hear.
Patreon Party People Podcast - June 2017
If this podcast were a sitcom, this would be a "very special episode." Goodbye, Colorado.After a downer and some sniffles, I nail down exactly what my production schedule will be, including my entire Youtube upload schedule for the next two months. Intro: Self Esteem Fund from Portal Outro: End Credits Part II from Twilight Symphony
Stream: OverBite Sprite Art & Chill
Well, this ended up winning the stream poll. You can either watch it in the Youtube embed up there, or you can watch it on Twitch.tv here. If you watch it on Twitch, you can even have your chat show up on the stream. I'm mainly use it to give commentary as I work, because I don't have my mic hooked up.
Patreon Party People Podcast - May 2017
On tonight's show: wrestling with impostor syndrome, the one time Nintendo wrote me back, the one time Sega wrote me back and I was almost famous because of it, the end of Archie's Sonic comics, and Rage. No, not that. Intro: Avalanche Speed by CarboHydroM Outro: Planetarium by CarboHydroM
A Poll To Decide The Next Stream
So I wanted to stream this weekend but I was too tired and lazy for a lot of things. But, should I find the enthusiasm to stream, is there anything anyone would want to see?You also don't have to answer just one thing. Pick as many things as you want! It'll all work out in the end! Probably!But since we only have like, 18 patrons, I'll probably push this poll out publicly eventually. Or maybe recreate this poll identically for the public and just make the Patron votes count for more....
Music Library: The Rest of 2004
If all I had to do was throw zip files of these songs up, I'd have put the complete collection up ages ago, but since I wanted to go through and "annotate" each song, it takes considerably more effort than I anticipated. In 2004 (the year I started messing around in FL Studio), I did over 100 songs. Here's the good half.Also, the obligatory warning: I did not compose or sequence any of these songs, I merely remastered them in FL Studio. Unfortunately, these are so old it's fr...

Stream Archives: Parappa and More
If you listened to this month's podcast, you know I had words about Parappa the Rapper. So, I decided to stream it. All told it was a roughly four-hour stream; above is the hour I spent on Parappa the Rapper. I played three other games, and here's two: Crashing the Bandicoot (49 minutes) Two Screens, One Hedgehog (1hr, 15min)After Parappa, I put in Umjammer Lammy, but I didn't include that in these archives – it was literally 30 minutes of me failing the first stage over and over a...
Patreon Party People Podcast - April 2017
In this podcast: I finish talking about Zelda (maybe?) and ramble on about my old Radeon graphics card versus my new nVidia card. But let's be honest, the real star of the show is the last 25 minutes where all I do is complain about a Parappa the Rapper game I haven't played yet.And hey! For the first time in a long time, this is being uploaded before last month's podcast goes free on Youtube. Intro: Unsealed by CarboHydroM Outro: Prince Fleaswallow from Parappa the Rapper
House Keeping
I've gone through and given the ol' Patreon a new coat of spit polish. Simplified the big description, and went through tagging most of the posts so now some things should be easier to find.
Patreon Party People Podcast - March 2017
It's time to catch up with what I've been doing this month and what's to come in the months ahead. But then, that's every one of these podcasts, isn't it? There's more talk about the potential move coming up and how that could effect my future output, and a good talk about what I think makes Zelda: Breath of the Wild so good. Intro: Lake Hylia - Twilight Symphony Outro: Princess Zelda - Twilight Symphony
Update about this month's podcast
This morning was my "podcast or bust" deadline but a lot of factors have been getting in the way of delaying when I record this thing. In particular today, four or five hours disappeared in to playing Breath of the Wild as I slowly began to feel like I was coming down with a cold.So rather than go ahead and record this podcast at 8am after having been awake all night (I'm a night owl, that's kind of normal for me) I'm gonna scoot off to bed and hopefully I feel better in the ...
Stream: Zelda - Breath of the Wild (First Boot)
I'm trying to get in to the habit of posting about my live streams more here on Patreon as I get more regular about them, but, uh, I'm still forgetting to do this, obviously. Anyway! I streamed the first five and a half hours of Breath of the Wild for Wii U, and here's part 1 of that archive.Part 2 can be watched here , and there's a whole playlist of my Stream Archives I have on Youtube.
Patreon Party People Podcast - February 2017
Things begin on sort of a dower note but it's hard to be down for long when you're blowing up on Youtube. Intro: The Starlit Wilds (Campfire Scene) - Shovel Knight Outro: Strike the Earth! (Plains of Passage) - Shovel Knight
The Definitive Way to Play Sonic Adventure
Well, I'd say I wanted this video up earlier today, but technically I wanted this up three weeks ago. Regardless, you guys get to see this video a few hours early before it goes public.This is the text install guide mentioned in the video.
Patreon Party People Podcast - January 2017
The usual catch up stuff is in order -- I talk about the upcoming NiGHTS video, the new Sonic Adventure video, and the early goings in what will be the final version of OverBite. Then it's a quick stop off to talk about dashed Christmas plans and a half-hearted attempt at GOTY discussion. Intro: Bonus Room Blitz from Donkey Kong Country Outro: Jungle Hijinx from Donkey Kong Country
Patreon Party People - December 2016
It's only been three weeks since the last podcast, and hoo boy, so much happened. And so much is about to happen.- Intro: "MachineHead" from Redline- Outro: "Redline Day" from Redline
Patreon Party People - November 2016
As an alternate title: it's the OverBite cast! All I really do is talk about the new game I've released, OverBite, and what a confusing, stressful time it was getting it submitted to Clickteam's "Weirder Stuff" game jam. Intro: Can't Stop Coffin from OverBite, by Malcolm Brown Outro: This is Going To Suck from OverBite, by Malcolm Brown
Dare to Scare: Slender & Haunted Memories
And here’s the final Dare to Scare. It’s uncut for all, partially because I didn’t have time to sit around and edit it, but also because it’s a special Halloween treat! It covers two games, and why Slenderman can be scary, but isn’t necessarily scary on his own.Because I didn’t have time to edit this, I don’t actually know if there’s tech problems! Given how tech problems plagued the rest of this series, there probably is! I know toward the end of the video the framerate gets cho...
Overbite - Alpha Gameplay Footage
I either have roughly three hours to make some levels, or I have 26 hours. Either way, it took me way too long to get to this point. BUT I WON'T GIVE UP
Dare to Scare UNCUT: Amnesia The Dark Descent
This is a little later than I'd like because I'm juggling this, SAGE, and developing a game. Regardless, here it is, for your viewing pleasure. A game that might actually scare me.Judging by early Youtube analytics, nobody actually wants to watch this!
Dare to Scare Uncut: Five Nights at Freddy's
It's easy to write Five Nights at Freddy's off for being nothing more than a bunch of cheap jump scares, but I think that undermines what's really going on in this game. There is a legitimate sense of tension here, and though I don't cover it in this particular series, the creator (Scott Cawthon) loves to hide tons of lore and easter eggs for those dedicated enough to uncover them. The end result is something highly distilled and better than you'd expect.Coming in just under ...
Dare to Scare UNCUT: Silent Hill 2
Minor technical problems won't get in the way of talking about local vampire legends or literally jumping at your own shadow. I've seen and heard a lot about Silent Hill 2 over the years and honestly the games never really hooked me or spooked me. I've even watched multiple Let's Plays of Silent Hill 2 hoping to steal some sort of wisdom about why it's so beloved. Maybe it worked, because the 90 minutes I spent here in Silent Hill 2 hooked me in a way I did not expect, and ev...
