Hey all, it's new video time. After the undertaking that was the Gun Game Heavy video (as well as the extra piece related to it that's coming soon), I figured it's best to have something more relaxing to follow it up. Balatro seems like the perfect fit for that, so here's me trying to claw my way to victory with the Yellow Deck.

New video time, and it's quite a doozy, this one. For quite a while, I've been playing as Heavy in TF2 in a very peculiar way - making use of an oft-overlooked gameplay mechanic and pushing it to its limits. It was intended as a joke strat to just make things interesting, but with it came good performances - a lot of them. No way that could be a coincidence, right? So I decided to deep-dive into this strat and its uses, and this video's the result of my findings.

New video time, and it's another challenge for Payday 2. Not a full length one, I don't have it in me to do that right now. But a select few heists? That's more manageable, especially since the subject of this challenge is a weapon that's been around since the start - but recently toting a major facelift. How potent is it now? Only one way to find out...

New video time.

With things easing up out here, it's time to get back in the saddle again. Just as well I've got a few things on deck already, starting with a look-in at some more Next Fest demos I've had stocked up. This one's vehicular in nature as we take to roads, rails and waters alike. Should be fun, right?

New video time, despite the coming of a new heatwave. Ever wanted a look-in at British traditions? Well, look no further than the art of Cheese Rolling! Just as I remember it.

New video time, and it's more Isaac nonsense. In this particular run, the game decides my fate right off the bat in what was supposed to be just a standard run. Things only get more chaotic from there.

You will have to copy and paste that link into your URL bar, because for some reason Tumblr decided that this video - and ONLY this video - is apparently some random trailer for a snowy mountain-climbing movie. Go figure.

New video time. It's the tail-end of the heatwave, and hopefully normal service will resume after God stops trying to fry me with a magnifying glass.

In any case, I decided to revisit Portal after over a decade away. Here's what happened...

New video time. Lil' earlier than usual, but no biggie.

We're back on that Company nonsense this time around, determined to do well on this rotation. But we encounter something we haven't really had to deal with in this game prior, which is... well, meteor showers. Buckle up for this one.

New video time. I need to work on some larger projects, but in the meantime, some miscellaneous moments will suffice. In this one, I create a new sub-species of Heavy that acts on the mentality of a loot goblin. Makes for a new experience, huh?

New video time. I remember when I went through some indie demos courtesy of Steam Next Fest. Well, I've still got a bunch more in the tank, so let's take another batch for a spin.

In this one, we fight in a skating blood-sport, traverse vertical shafts, create abominations and clean beaches. Y'know, a normal combination.

New video time. Really time to get back on track, and Payday 2's always a decent way to solve that.

This challenge run is simple: take the recently-added Welrod, and run through Career Mode with it as my only real source of damage. Simple? Sounds that way, but in practice? Not so much.

Well, here we are again. Didn't intend to take such a time off, but stuff continues to cascade and I had to just grit my teeth and deal with it.

In any case, Nintendo's Direct from earlier today provides an easy road to get back on track. Honestly felt a bit underwhelming and was mired with tech issues at one point. There were clear highlights, don't get it twisted, but it seems as though the well's running dry in Nintendo's part of the ocean. We'll see how they get on in due time.

In the mean time, how did the Direct go exactly? You've got the highlights as they happened for me and my friends.

New video time, and it's another Binding Of Isaac run. Tainted Keeper's usually not too much of a tightrope character... so what if we found a way to make it so that you blow yourself up at least once in every other room? Well, that's what this run manages to uncover.

I'm hopefully going to have a bit more consistency going forward, owing to me having a grip over the issues that plagued me throughout the first few months of the year. Anyway, it's time for some more Team Fortress 2 silliness involving Loose Cannon multiplication, angry opponents, and more!

New video time - and it's a bit of a different one this time. I don't show a lot of up-and-coming indie games on the channel, and I think it's time to change that. Luckily, the Steam Next Fest from earlier in the year provided quite a handful of game demos to try out.

In this one, I try out Bombun, Sonki's Lagoon, Deadliest Pigeon and Dash'n'Drops. Some of these might tickle your fancy!

Whew boy. This one's been nearly 2 years in the making, mainly cuz last year was just too hectic to get it done.

Anyway, this ol' project had me trekking through TF2's Two Cities tour in MVM with friends. But to shake up the monotony of doing so, I decided to play a little game of BINGO on the sly, all in the name of content. How well do you think I'll perform?

Hey all,

It's time for some more misc moments, as my current projects are proving lengthier and tougher to get done than I previously anticipated. Not much else to it, really, but it's just as well I have Misc Moments ready to go at a moment's notice for those gaps in waiting.
