Fuck. Yes.

Hey all,

Here’s the latest Video Game Story Time. With Mass Effect: Andromeda right around the corner, this seemed like the perfect time to visit one of my personal favourite stories from the history of BioWare’s game development - the time a fan musician got the chance to get his work featured in Mass Effect 2.

Please share this widely with anyone you know who might be interested. Thanks, you’re wonderful!

Hey, have you played Owlboy? Have you heard of the game but wondered what all the fuss was about?

Well, this ain’t a review, but it will tell you some intriguing things about the game’s development, which was, as indie games go, pretty darn nuts!

This is beautiful!

Hey everyone!

People seemed to like our last video, so we’ve done another one! This tells the story of Eiji Aonuma, when he was given just one year to develop Majora’s Mask. A special thanks to everyone who shared the Pokémon video we did last, we really appreciate the extra help getting people to see this.

Thanks! Have a great week!

Limbo!

Wow! This is an awesome explanation! Thank you so much. I'm going to start queueing stuff up immediately!

So, I'm totally uncultured swine but I have been looking to try and find some good "transition movies" into the world of martial arts movies. My first one was Hero, but nothing really measures up to that. Any suggestions? Keep in mind I've been raised shallow American my whole life.

I, too, was raised shallow American. It wasn’t until I was introduced to Five Deadly Venoms did my martial arts/kung fu movie horizon really open up. Wu Tang and Shaw Bros are the classics. I highly recommend the above mentioned film, along with Kid with the Golden Arm, Come Drink with Me, Have Sword Will Travel, The Cave of the Silken Web….oh man, theres too many to name. Between the late 60s until the 90s, Shaw Bros produced THE top kung fu movies period. I cannot express how much this company means to me.

But, if ‘classic’ kung fu isnt your thing, and you’re more into the fantasy style (known as wuxia). This genre is harder to define, really, since its very specific to directorial style instead martial arts style. Some films that I like that fit into this genre based off of the basic points are: Come Drink with Me (mentioned above, the actress in this film reprises the character’s personality in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon as Jade Fox), Seven Swords (modern film, staring Donnie Yen - an actor you should really look into. He’s….THE BEST), Bride with White Hair, New Dragon Gate Inn, 14 Blades (Donne Yen, again), The Promise (this movie is GORGEOUS and severely underrated), Jade Warrior, Butterfly and Sword…again, I could go on forever.

If you like the fantasy based martial arts movies, but not particularly in a period setting, I highly recommend Dragon Tiger Gate - actually, ya know what, just watch every Donnie Yen movie ever distributed. You will not be disappointed. On the other hand, Japan has some very lovely fantasy based martial arts movies. May I start by recommending Death Trance, Shinobi: heart under blade, Red Shadow,  Azumi, Goemon, Mushishi (not really martial arts, just a visually stunning film), Casshern….

Dude, I could seriously write a fucking novel on every movie you need to see. Theres so many…so so so so many…always learning new films, learning new old films, and everything in between. 

Hey there! I haven’t posted a video on here for a while (mostly because I keep forgetting), but here’s our latest thing. It’s a little different, as it’s sketchy, quick, and more of an opinion piece than a story, but hopefully you’ll like it!

Please take five or so minutes to watch this, as our channel is quietly dying at the moment thanks to the glorious YouTube algorithm that seems to hate us.

Hey, look! Our longest video yet! This story is pretty much the coolest - you may have heard something about how Sega got a bunch of Sonic fan modders to build their own game, but delving into the history of this, there’s a great lesson on persevation and hard work, not giving up, and doing what you love as a way to develop.

Hope you enjoy!
