Hey everyone! I'm here with a new release today and it's a special one. This is our first guest video featuring video producer (and ace videographer) Phil Nolan as he covers the story of TMNT x Justice League Turbo and the passionate community of folks behind the game. It's an awesome watch and I hope you enjoy it.
It's thanks to your support that I can commission and pay people like Phil to create cool content for the channel and ...

I've got a new video hot off the encoder. This time we're taking a look at the Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs series and getting to learn what makes it so popular in Japan, as well as the small but growing scene in the States. Let me know if you'd like to see more on this series. Had a lot of fun learning about the game and would love to do something in depth with the developers if given the chance.
Enjoy the v...

Have a new video out today, this time taking a look at the similarities between the Souls series and fighting games and how playing one might help you better understand the other. Let me know what you think and if you agree or disagree in the comments.
Now that I'm starting to get into a nice rhythm with juggling my other responsibilities, expect more videos sooner than later. Got an interesting idea for a vid...

If you follow me on Twitter, you've probably seen me talk about being stressed about interviews this week. Well, those interviews finally concluded last night and I'm excited to talk about the project: we're doing a feature on the development of Guilty Gear Strive! The folks at Arc System Works were super helpful and open to speaking with us and we have over five hours of interviews with some of the team including development ...

Starting to work on my backlog of doc edits now that traveling has calm down a bit. Here's a clip of Max talking about his idea for Doctor Doom in Assist Me and how it lead to Simmons getting the part.
Hoping to have a script put together for this in the coming weeks and maybe have this out in April. Still not sure yet but will keep you posted!

Hello everyone! I've got a cool gift for you today. The folks behind Samurai Gunn 2 sent me a boatload of codes for their game just for you patrons.

Got one final video to close out 2021 this year and it's a fun one. I reached out to Sajam, Jmcrofts, Black Yoshi, Sharpie, Woolie, and Cuddle Core to find out what they want from fighting games next year. I even drop some wishes and ideas for myself and the channel too. Give it a watch and let me know what kind of things you're hoping for next year.
I also wanted to take the time to thank you all for your...

Anyways, I have a new release today consisting of our mini-docs on Skullgirls from the "One More Once" stream this past weekend.

Just got back from a hectic week of shooting a few of our upcoming projects. We have most of the interviews for our docs on YoVideogames, Hitbox, and Tough Love Arena recorded and I'm slowly making my way through them now. Got a busy few weeks ahead, so no release dates set for any of these just yet, but wanted to post a small Max clip to tide you over in the meantime.
Enjoy, and more news soon!

This weekend I'm talking to the minds behind Tough Love Arena, the fighting game you can play almost anywhere and I want to add some questions from patrons to ask them. Have you played TLA and if so, what would you like to know more about? Let me know in the comments!
And if you haven't played TLA yet, go do that 2021-09-08 13:41:38 +0000 UTC

I got so pumped after AE's All Out PPV this weekend that I wrote up a whole video about it and why we could use something similar in the FGC. First time doing an opinion piece like this, so let me know what you think!

Hey everyone,
Hope you're all doing well. I wanted to take some time to update you all on some of the projects coming next to the channel. In my effort to make more videos more often, I've scheduled quite a few things to film over the next few months ranging from documentaries to weird, more personality focused ideas that I'm pretty excited about.

I had the chance to work again with Max and the Twitch Rivals crew for their MKX Lives event and part of that was getting a chance to chat with folks at Netherrealm Studios about making Mortal Kombat X. NRS (and especially Ed Boon) don't do too many community interviews, so this was an awesome and rare chance to get a behind the scenes look at the series.

Making a doc like this through mostly zoom calls is pretty intense and strange, but I think it came out pretty well.

To celebrate, I'm dropping another sneak peak at our upcoming docs on the audio of Killer Instinct for all patrons, this time we're looking at the interactive audio system and how things adjust during fights.
I also have soft launch dates for both docs. We're looking at a trailer to release on
