More background progress, and a change of plans! (Blog) (Patreon)

Hey guys, I thought I'd give you all an update on what's been going on since uploading StarTropics a couple of weeks ago.

More games complete!

As of this afternoon I've finished yet another game I need for my 5th anniversary project. I've actually reached the "two thirds" stage now, with only a couple more games to finish, which are both shorter games by all accounts so hopefully I can finish those within the next month.

I'll also have a chance to use a bit of kit I've had sat here waiting, specifically with these last two games in mind!

And then I'll work on another review to work as a prelude to it all, assuming I can get the timing right.

It's reached a point where I'm excited to start the production side of things for all of this 5th anniversary malarkey as I think it'll be something viewers will enjoy seeing from me, given my taste in games covered thus far!

A change of plans:

Speaking of getting the timing right, I've realized that Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled is out NEXT MONTH.
I haven't been particularly hyped for it or anything like that, but it was my intention to give the original game it's own proper video prior to covering the remake, as I don't feel right cramming it into a joint video so...

I've moved things around!

Originally, Crackdown 1 andn2 were up next... But I'm going to do Crash Team Racing next instead! There's two reasons for this. Firstly, the timing isn't obviously on my side if I do it now given the anticipation surrounding the remake but also...

Crackdown 3 is really REALLY starting to plummet in price now.
(I know it's available on game pass but I'm not a subscriber if that service... andn my head if I'm going to get it, I'd prefer a case I can have on display and to show in the video)

I've seen it for £15 which is basically my biting point.
I'll wait around a few more weeks but a friend of mine (who I played through all of Crackdown 2 with) has agreed he'll also buy Crackdown 3 at the same time as me for co-op play, knowing that I'd like to do a video on it given I've got scripts and notes for the other two ready!

So while Crackdown is still going to happen, I think a solid 3 game marathon will be much better in the long run! My friend will also provide me with some of his takes in the game as we're playing, which will help!

In summary:

Another game for my anniversary special is finished, Crackdown is on hold (for now) and CRASH TEAM RACING IS NEXT! (I may also go into Crash Nitro Kart too, if I have enough time)

Thanks for the support! I know things are a bit slow at the moment compared to how things were last year but I'm hoping to make it worth the effort soon!
