Delayed Input 506 Post-Show Assessment

This was a weird episode. It was originally much more focused on how weird the deal is that Remedy made with Rockstar, and also how weird it is that they told us all about it. Then I did a dumb thing and I read the reddit comments from dozens of people who are extremely excited for Max Payne to be back. They would even go into real truthful detail about how much they missed this particular game...

Good morning! I had a hard time with this thumbnail, at first I was like, "bro that's an unappealing expression." I then found a couple stills where I'm making a less unattractive face, but they didn't seem as honest to the subject matter. So we're back to this ...

Delayed Input 505 Post-Show Assessment

This was a weird one. We were ready for underwhelming PlayStation Plus news, but I did think I'd at least have a video presentation to pick apart and make fun of. Sony decided to simply create a post on their blog, which yeah I think was the right decision given the low magnitude of the announcement, but that doesn't necessarily make for a great video. The "exclusive games of questionable quali...

Delayed Input 504 Post-Show Assessment

This was a weird one. It took me an extra long time to figure out what this video was about, stuck in an unfun funk for longer than usual. The decision to wear my glasses was simply that I started recording so late that I was attempting to mask my tired eyes a little. It wasn't the best ep, but it feels kind of nice to pull it off on a week with no news, kind of generating something from loose ...

It's up! This turned into a strange sort of Part 2 to last week's episode; I'm curious how everyone will feel about it. Also I might stick with the glasses, at least for this season. They seem like a natural fit for the floral polos. I'll be back here for my pos...

Delayed Input 503 Post-Show Assessment

This was a franchise score episode. I've talked for a while about wanting to return to a regular segment and so I had "Kirby Franchise Score" penciled in for this week since the start of the season. I guess today I'm feeling weird about how un-weird the video is. It's kind of straightforward--I promise a Kirby franchise score, I talk about Kirby (and Shrek), and then deliver a Kirby franchise s...

Delayed Input 502 Post-Show Assessment

This was a weird episode. As you could imagine learning there's a little video game event  is a dream when producing a weekly series. I have to be honest with you, I was expecting the grand re-reveal of Final Fantasy XVI despite my own advice to myself. It was pretty deep into writing this script when I realized how weird it is that I pretend these games are all a big deal just because the...

Delayed Input 501 Post-Show Assessment

This was a weird episode, one of these times where I know exactly what the episode is going to be about but not what my angle is. I wrote a bunch of stuff that felt like "man this is kind of dark" and then came back and toned it down, and found a few fun ideas to run with.  

I tried a few new things this week:
- There's a list in the beginning and end, and neither of them are the ...

Post-Street Fighter 6 Hot Takeaways Assessment

This was a weird week. Capcom made a short trailer, I made a short video, I'll try to make this a short little post too. 

I guess what stands out to me looking at this video are the slight differences between Casual Kyle and Delayed Input Kyle. It is mostly wardrobe and microphone choice, but I think there's something else there. Maybe it's less "Hi guys, I'm hosting a SHOW" vibes. T...

Update: Delaying New Video til Monday

Hi Patreon gang--
  Kind of disappointing news: there won't be a new video to check out this Friday morning as originally scheduled. Plan A was to make a video about making a Playdate game using their free tools. It seemed pleasantly simple and easy at first, and then I learned most of the stuff I wanted to do was going to take some legitimate coding language that's a little out of...

Delayed Input 408 Post-Show Assessment

This was a weird episode. If you read these posts on a regular basis you probably have a good idea of how this one came about--it wasn't really about having too much to say about two important topics, but really not enough to say about either. I shouldn't say "enough," because I could talk about Pokemon for hours, but you know, I didn't have anything that was sparkling off the page. To me the e...

Delayed Input 407 Post-Show Assessment

This was a weird episode. Frequently I write about the process of picking a topic as just exploring a few bad ideas until I eventually land on a good one. This week one of my first bad ideas was talking about why I don't care about Hyper Scape. Then, despite trying to find anything else to talk about, nothing better popped up. And normally I wouldn't read an interview with a Ubisoft executive d...

Delayed Input 406 Post-Show Assessment

This was a weird episode. Here's the last part of last week's post:

"It's a little crazy to me we're about to be six episodes into the season without a big new game announcement or leak. You want to have those news drops where people are thinking "ooh boy I can't wait to see what old Bossy's got to say about this one!" I'm hoping for one of those this week."

So this is kind of bei...

Delayed Input 405 Post-Show Assessment

This was a weird episode. When the Twisted Metal stuff first popped up again I searched through all my scripts (which is pretty easy since I write them all in google docs) because I wasn't sure if I had already done a Twisted Metal take before. Yes I did, just last season. We've officially racked up enough Delayed Inputs to where I'm forgetting which bits I've already done.

So I had the f...

Delayed Input 404 Post-Show Assessment

This was a weird episode. 2022's Delicious Mysteries is a fun title that I'm not sure I lived up to. What's disappointing about the ep to me is that if I started with that title I could have made something more playful and maybe more honest to the premise. Instead of going title first, I was just writing down a bunch of loose thoughts for 2022 games, like "what's the deal with Starfield?" So on...

Delayed Input 403 Post-Show Assessment

This was a weird episode. As usual, it's kind of the result of the process of working through a bunch of things I didn't want it to be. There was a point Wednesday night where I was tossing around in bed late at night wondering what it says about someone if they believe their top 10 list of video games is worth the attention of others. I wouldn't say it's a habit of overthinking things, but it'...

Delayed Input 402 Post-Show Assesment

This was a weird episode. Deep into the edit I wondered to myself "is this TOO all over the place?" Reading through the comments, it probably was. I picked "Kyle's Christmas Wishlist" as a theme last week, but honestly I didn't really have an angle at that point. For one week I wondered what could even be entertaining about a fake wishlist.

The final script contains remnants from a few di...

Delayed Input 401 Post-Show Assessment

This was a slightly weird episode. I feel kinda bad--before the break I asked for your feedback on what you'd like to see more of with Delayed Input, and then the season 4 premiere was probably the most Regular episode I could have made. I still really want to mix up the backdrop, and get more creative with show formats, but somehow that four week break ended up more cramped than I imagined and...
