This was a weird episode. It was another week where I spent some time dabbling in various topics before settling on one, but doing the thing where I bail on a clumsy Olympics-based premise almost immediately was something I was thinking about from the beginning. I guess the idea was just that we'd steer over to some completely unrelated theme. I'm not sure why but I started just writing general...

Once again I'm posting a video completely unsure of how it actually is. Let me know what you think, and I'll be back here tomorrow with the post-show assessment.
Thank you!

This was a weird episode. The Activision-Blizzard news dropped Wednesday night, so it was a relatively quick turnaround by Delayed Input standards. Up until I read the story I was planning to an episode on Ubisoft's XDefiant, but really even when I was developing that idea there was a feeling that I shouldn't be covering this game without also talking about the Ubisoft Singapore story (if you'r...

Obviously not a comfortable episode but hopefully there's still some value to this one. Very curious about your feedback this week, let me know if I botched it.
Thank you!

This was a weird episode. I didn't realize I had that much to say about a Nickelodeon Smash Bros game until I started writing some thoughts down. The first real point was this concept of people who grew up appreciating things being in the position to create those very things. It was a thought, but not an episode. I wasn't excited about the script, trying to find some sort of hook for it, and th...

This is my latest post yet, and it's not even the most complicated episode. Just lots of little baby edits I guess. I'll be back tomorrow for a Post-Show Assessment, please feel free to drop any questions and comments right here on this post
Thank you!
This was a weird episode. It was tough to finally decide to make the season 2 premiere not that special. I worked to make a new backdrop but it turned out very ugly. I bought a few season premiere sweaters but they just were all poor decisions. I thought there should be some sort of meta season premiere narrative but it came off a little forced.
In the end I think just treating this like an...

It feels good to be back baby! Let me know how you feel about this one, I'll be back tomorrow for the Post-Show Assessment.
Thanks!

This was a weird 9 weeks. I'll start with a mini post-show assessment for the E3 Hot Takeaways video:
I didn't land on a Charles Barkley analogy til I re-recorded the intro at the end of the night (which is why Mucho is only around for the first 10 seconds of the video; chronologically he was just showing up for the end of the shoot) but it helped me define for myself why I'm making the ...

It's not quite a Delayed Input, but I'll still be back tomorrow for a post-show assessment, as well as sort of a Season 1 assessment, so as always please feel free to let me know whatever you're thinking and wondering
Thanks,
Kyle
Hey first of all, we cracked 1000 patrons! I know I can dip under 1k again at any point, but it seemed worth pointing out.
But anyway, this was a weird episode. Last week I knew I wanted to do some sort of big E3 season finale. I thought about getting a new Christmas sweater and really playing it up. Quickly into actually writing the script, I realized in my heart I really care about th...

Late night post! Apologies beforehand if you assumed that I was editing this late for a huge E3 production--it's really a pretty regular episode. I'll have more to say tomorrow for the post-show assessment, so drop any questions you might have about the ep here....
This was a weird episode. I'm pretty sure I had the idea of doing a video with Sean asking him about the specifics of Cloud's arms in Remake a year ago. It was one of those ideas you have for a while and then quickly forget. A few weeks ago, when I was thinking about what kind of thing I should do for my weird in-between seasons video I thought of this Cloud's arms thing again. I emailed Sean a...

Here's an unconventional episode. I'll be back to tomorrow to write the Post-Show Assessment, please feel open to deliver every piece of feedback that pops up.
2021-06-03 23:26:33 +0000 UTC View PostThis was a weird episode. As you might pick up from the inclusion of the Sonic trailer, I didn't record this one until Thursday afternoon. That's not because I had a late start this week, but because for a long time I wasn't really feeling anything I had going. There was a lot of uncertainty about going with this idea or that idea, and surely there's a better idea around the corner, so maybe it...

Thanks for your patience. I'll be back here tomorrow for a post-show assessment!
This was a weird episode. We haven't had the perfect episode of Delayed Input yet, but this was a fun week for feeling out the show's vibes and potential. This is much less of a list episode, or one with a strict structure like I've made so far. It also has probably fewer comedic bits than any episode so far.
I decided very late to add b-roll in the little picture-in-picture box. Very, very ...

Trying a weird thing with the broll in the corner this week. Let me know what you think, and definitely keep asking any questions you've got. I'll be back with the post-show assessment tomorrow!
This was a weird episode. Here's the kind of juicy post-show assessment scuttlebutt I otherwise could have kept a secret: up until around 8pm Wednesday night, the whole script was about Mass Effect.
Before I started this Partreon I wrote down enough ideas for 8 episodes so I could feel confident that I'd always have something to talk about for at least the first season. This week was natural...

I got my second shot today, I feel injected with hope and my arm is sore. Post-show assessment coming tomorrow!
This was a weird episode. It was spawned from a Kotaku article headlined: "Now Every Single Activision Studio Works on Call of Duty" (I actually talked about this article for a bit but cut it out because the front half of this episode is so heavy) It's an interesting thing to hear after the last couple of sweet years Activision has had as a publisher. So then I started reading more articles and...

Woo, what a day. This bad boy is fresh out of the oven. I'll have my Post-Show Assessment ready tomorrow
This was a weird episode. I knew coming into the weekend that I wanted to do something about Mortal Kombat, because I was really excited about that new movie. Honestly if I loved the movie I probably would have made a very different show. Instead I got to those credits and was like "oh okay. Now what do I do?"
I realize I give the impression that this week's premise was "Franchise Score" fir...

Here's the second episode! Let me know what you think, really everything, I'll have a bunch to talk about tomorrow.
It's a formal title for an informal post, these will just be my thoughts on Fridays after each episode. I have to say I'm in a pretty good mood today. This week I felt more pressured and energized than I have in a long time, and it's nice to be looking forward to next week too. My relationship to doing this kind of work is a lot like running--I'm having a very bad time while I'm doing it but ul...
