July Stuff (Blog) (Patreon)

 G'day everyone, sorry I've been a little quiet. I've been working hard on a lot of different things, getting back into the routine of keeping up with all my little jobs has been tough hence why there hasn't been an update here for a few weeks. Apologies about that, please let me fill you in now!

--------------------------------------

Upcoming Videos) I had planned for the next testing episode to have been uploaded by now, however I ended up quiet caught up with real life stuff last week so it's been pushed back to this upcoming week unfortunately. Stay tuned here for Early Access in the coming days! On top of that, I'm also ready to begin editing the FIRST Game Review in the new house! I'm super excited about it and you'll be able to see it by the end of the month.

I've also in the past few weeks started going through some games for a series retrospective that's been on my mind for a while now, been a lot of fun getting into the games as they're all quite short so far. Just something fun my partner and I can play in the evening after a long day. That should go up soon into August! (holy shit, we're already in August) 😅

Planned Projects) I've got a lot on my mind I want to be working on right now, honestly there is just TOO MANY ideas floating around at the moment. With the year rapidly disappearing, I might need to begin working on Hawktober soon. I have a few ideas there but I'm also not entirely sure what to go with this year so we'll just see what happens there. As for other review topics, I'm hoping to explore more movie/game episodes similar to Hercules and next week's episode. They're a lot of fun and it's cool to compare the two mediums I think. But I'm still keen on doing dedicated game series reviews and one off games of course, it's mostly just a matter of sitting down and smashing through some things. I still need to do a test livestream sometime but that'd honestly be an excellent way to start doing that.

Other Goings On) I recently sent off my NES and N64 to a guy named Rob for some modding. Rob has worked on some of my systems in the past, upgrading my NES for RGB output which makes it look so much nicer going into the Framemeister. Well now he's done some extra work on it to allow the signal to simultaneously use the old output so that I can plug into a CRT for light gun games!

This means I can capture games that require these specific circumstances of a CRT like Duck Hunt which has made me incredibly happy. But he has also upgraded my N64 for RGB output as well. I've not got the appropriate cables here to try it out just yet but I can guarantee once they get here, I'll be a lot more keen on trying out some N64 games in the future with a better quality video output.

--------------------------------------

Closing Thoughts) So that's where I'm at with everything people! Early Access backers stay tuned for this week's game testing episode and everyone get keen for a new review on the horizon! Until then, thanks so much for reading and I hope you all have a great fucking day. Cheers guys!
