Yes, it's been too long, so today's Recommendations will be followed up with Randomly Mine tomorrow. Though this time you won't find books or film, because there's just been too much material making the most of my speakers.

Hello everybody.
I know I've been quieter than usual on Patreon, Twitter, and Discord recently, so I thought to maintain transparency I'd make this post. Starting with information and concluding with my thoughts surrounding them for those interested.
1. I'll be pausing the Patreon again due to the lack of content, but intend to host a Post-Video hangout and post Randomly Mine.
Le Mans by Lee H. Katzin
It's amazing to revisit something from your childhood as an adult, and see qualities you might've subconsciously registered, but now recognize and respect.
The atmopshere of this McQueen classic is simply incredible. It's compilation...

Butts
To this day, I’ll occasionally get a comment from somebody viewing my Mass Effect 2 Years Later piece, saying that my idea for reserving Miranda’s obnoxious butt shots to those romancing her was the smartz. I don’t think it’s that outlandish or intellectual, it seems kind of simple to me that two people who are overtly into each other will overtly appreciate...

Shadow Movement by The Anix

2019-04-13 22:01:36 +0000 UTC View PostWas planning to write this in the morning but got called by the Hospital in-regards to my Mother's broken arm. Seems my own incompetence of time management has combined with personal matters that are guaranteed to delay my content further. Needless to say, but I'll be hosting the Patreon content after the next video's uploaded, as hosting calls and making RM will just delay it further.

Being that I’m currently writing the Wolfenstein script, I thought it’d be fun to make a sort of immediately Mine rather than something that accumulates over a couple days.

I could write a paragraph about how exhausted I was after completing Metro Years Later and that being the reason why I dropped off the face of Patreon failing to keep my promise of hosting a post-video hangout... but actually its just because I got caught up in Wolfenstein.

2019-03-20 18:39:50 +0000 UTC View PostHello everybody,
The kind Patrons here in the final months of last year probably aren't going to be surprised by this post. Today, I have family visiting from across the Country and I'll be gone on Tuesday which virtually guarantees there's no way for me to finish this latest video by the end of the month.
The video's delay has been caused by how much it's grown as a project steadil...

Sponsorships
I’ve never been against sponsorships. There’s multiple channels I’m subscribed to, friends and colleagues that have done sponsored content over the years and never had an issue. I don’t fault people for hustling in a time where people have aspirations like buying bread without comparing price-tags.

This month's list of recommendations is going to be, as with one occasion last year, all about Albums! Not because an iconic singer has died, but simply because none of the films I watched this month inspired me, and I'm still deeply immersed in the Metro tunnels. So to kick things off...
I'm making a video on Resident Evil at the moment and my original plan was to cobble together a quick Battle Royal project I've been thinking about for some time, the only concern is that the next Years Later, Metro, would be rushed or delayed. So I'm leaning to saving the BR project for later but at the same time, I would then be breaking usual my rule of producing two videos a month and don't...

Assassin’s
Through purchases made on Newegg last year, the website gave me a free copy of Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, or as I kept calling it, The Witcher 3: Odyssey. However, even if Odyssey was a 7/10 version of Witcher 3, I wouldn’t mind; if you’re going to copy something, might as well be something great.
But that’s not what this is about. ...

New Blood by Occams Laser
Most of the albums I've recommended are ones I could listen to from start to finish thanks to their variety and pacing. New Blood isn't that. It's synthwave beats are repetitive, derivative, and not at all something even casual observers of this sub-genre haven't already experi...

Priorities
Playing Mass Effect: Andromeda a thought occurred to me. The game addresses a lot of criticisms regarding aspects from past entries and iterates on things previously dropped entirely by design or technical restrictions.
The Nomad is the most obvious example bringing back the concept of a Mako without entirely redesigning the vehicle like the Hammerhead in ME2, s...

We’re all suckers for Nostalgia. Yes, it’s easy to belittle those soaking their jeans by a company simply resurrecting the past, but then the spotlight will sometimes come to your favorite brand, game, or feature, and suddenly you’re emptying the wallet.

And yes, it's about Burnout.
Apologies for those looking forward to these two things, but I hope the video will make that wait worth it.
Thank you for the support, and enjoy your weekend.

It seems that DICE have pushed themselves into a bit of a corner with Battlefield V. I’m not talking about the political discourse online between EA and multiple communities, I’m just talking gameplay.

Some have probably noticed neither Randomly Mine or the Hangout happened on schedule. I'm at a bit of a crossroads, because one of the main goals of this channel is to be transparent, and honest, but I also don't want to bombard people with personal matters constantly over Twitter or Patreon.
