Plans for the immediate future.

So we are now less than two weeks from both the Switch 2's launch and Mario Kart World's release. As a note about the new system's power: Although it can run a 4K resolution or something high up and 120fps, I'm not sure my aging computer can handle trying to record at those stats. So I'm going to stay at my current standard of 1080p, 60fps for the time being.

Though we don't have much longer to wait for the system, I'm not sitting on my thumbs in regards to channel content. I'm "cooking" up some standalone videos that will be going out soon. Most of them will be from a certain spinoff series.

Until next post

Update time.

The month of April has been a pretty busy one for me as I declared it to be the month where things get done. Mainly finishing up on a few personal goals I wanted to take care of in games like Splatoon 3, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the recent F-Zero 99 update, and one other game I won't mention at the moment. While I could have waited to do them later, I'd rather have dealt with them now for closure and make it so I can move on to other business with no further distractions.

One such business is finally completing my Sonic Frontiers playthrough for my channel. To be honest, it should NOT have taken me so long to get this playthrough done, but I'm now in the final stages of development and it WILL go up very soon. From there, I'll decide on what my next playthrough shall be, so stay tuned for that (if you're really interested in keeping up with my work specifically).

One other big thing to have taken care of in this month was securing my pre-order for a Switch 2. I did say things along the lines of not wanting to dedicate too much time and effort on Switch 2 games unless they really caught my eye. Well I am a big Donkey Kong fan, so that speaks for itself regarding DK Bananza in July. As for Mario Kart World, I suppose I'll do an online series for it. I don't know if it'll be as big of one as 8 Deluxe turned out to be, but we'll see.

Until next post!

Small update time.

I mentioned that Sonic Frontiers will be my next playthrough some time ago. Progress on it has reached a great point, but getting there proved to be unusually troublesome. At one point, my save data got corrupted (ironic if you know the game) and I had to spend time beating the whole game again for a crucial ability I use throughout the recorded playthrough.

As for when I'll have it finished. I plan on this month or the next, but I do have something small I can upload for my 15th anniversary of my channel on March 11th. It won't be the one I had in mind for the celebration, but production on that had to be pushed back to focus on Frontiers. I'll be on vacation for a week, but I hope to get close to uploading the playthrough afterwards.

After I do Frontiers, I'm definitely doing a smaller game on my bucket list to make up for a slow start to the year.

Until next post!

Just a small notice. Splatoon 3 will be rerunning the chocolate splatfest from 2 years ago. As it is a fest theme I've already covered, I'm not doing an extra online set video on it. Only the seasonal reruns with new themes will be covered.

After doing some renovations on my channel and my old videos. I decided to put some of my old stuff, previously deemed failures, into a playlist for anyone brave enough who want to look at them out of curiosity.

Link to that cursed playlist here: www.youtube.com/playlist?list...

Update time!

Hope your holidays have been going splendidly for you all.

Now that production of my Sonic x Shadow Generations playthrough is complete, what are my plans for 2025? Before I get into that, I want to address my potential retirement I considered during 2024. I still feel as if I'm in my twilight years and now I've been putting together a list of projects I would like to consider making before my time is up on my channel. They mostly consist of playthroughs on games I haven't gotten to yet, but REALLY want to. Along with that, maybe an ambitious single video or two. Also I'm making an oath to not make any videos on Switch 2 games unless one on it really, REALLY catches my eye.

As for what's first on my list, two things. First up regards Donkey Kong Country Returns HD in January. Since that version will contain levels previously exclusive to the 3DS release, I'll be doing an extra part on those levels for my DKCR Puzzle Piece Playthrough to make it fully complete. Second is my next playthrough project. I mentioned this in a previous post, but I plan on doing Sonic Frontiers or Sonic 3 & Knuckles if the former needs some reconsideration on the scope of my playthrough. From there I'll be working down my list throughout 2025 and then see how I feel about doing anything else for my channel.

One last thing to mention. I will be holding onto my Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online series until the very end. Though if the upcoming Sonic Racing CrossWorlds game turns out good enough (at least better than Team Sonic Racing), I may do a small online series for that.

That should be all I have for now. Until next post and Merry Christmas!

Not really an update post, just a remainder of a poor and flawed system on Youtube.

As you may or may not have seen, I have begun publishing my Sonic x Shadow Generations playthrough. As of the time of writing, the first two parts have gotten copyright claimed by obscure music companies who don't own the rights to whatever music they're claiming (they have a history for claiming variations of Green Hill Zone music). Just to to be clear, when these claims are made, the videos should still be available to watch like nothing happened on your end. All this does is direct any potential revenue I could get from said videos to those claimers.

In the near 15 years this channel has been up, I have never made attempts to monetize my thousands of videos, and my claim record at this point is less than 15 videos. For a long time, I've mostly ignored these as long as people could still actually watch my stuff if desired and no harm done. These recent claims rubbed me the wrong way however.

As for what may happen, two things. First is the company ignores my dispute and let's it expire, removing the claim. That, or they reject it at the last second and I may redo one of the parts of the playthrough and reupload it.

I find it stupid that these malicious companies would do this kind of crap to wring every little penny from channels of all sizes, and that Youtube's copyright systems don't do enough to prevent these claims from running rampant. Then again, we live in a world were money and greed are at the forefront of the minds of people with much power.

Anyways, sorry if this post was an unexpected downer moment. I just needed to get this off my chest. I'll be back with an actual update once the whole Generations playthrough as is now goes public.

Have a happy holidays, but also be careful out there with any troubles in your daily lives.

Notice: My original trajectory for my Yooka-Laylee & the Impossible Lair playthrough release ended up being slightly off. However, I've made enough progress on it to confidently say that the playthrough will go public the next week for sure.

Time for an update.

Normally I like to wait until I'm mostly done with the editing process of my playthroughs to announce the game I'm doing, but this time I'll toss out what I have planned for the remainder of this year.

My next playthrough, and the final game in my Donkey Kong Marathon is... Yooka-Laylee & the Impossible Lair. Wait... that's not a DK game! In a normal sense, that's right. However, the gameplay is very Country coated and some of the staff at Playtonic Games actually consist of old Rareware developers. So with that, among other reasons, is why I feel the game's spirit (in a sense) warrants me doing the game, marathon or otherwise. If my trajectory is correct, I should have the playthrough done sometime next week.

Afterwards, it'll be time I stepped away from all the Marios and Donkey Kongs I've done all year and finally get back to a series I've meant to do at the start of 2024 with Sonic the Hedgehog. Turns out that Generations is finally coming to a Nintendo (home) console with a fancy port and a new Shadow campaign in tow. I've been looking forward to that one! Afterwards, I'm thinking I do either Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Frontiers, or both depending on how things pan out when I get to them.

Next, I've talked a little about my thoughts about slightly stepping away from my Youtube channel after 2024 before, but now I want to realign my ideas for my "final" stretch of serious content creation during next year. After the Sonic games, I'm thinking of putting together a small list of games I still would REALLY like to get to before all is said and done. I'll put up future updates for that later, but look forward to those. Anything else I end up doing for the channel will be more of a bonus while I take steps into the next phase of my life.

Lastly is a small (maybe unnecessary) reminder about the future Splatoon 3 online sets after my main run of the series had ended with Set 75. All sets covering the holiday splatfest reruns will be labeled as extras and have far fewer matches in them.

That's a lot to cover, but I thank you for your time, however much you're willing to give and until next post!

Time for an update.

This one will solely be regarding my Splatoon 3 online series. I'm wrapping things up with it.

Now originally I planned for the upcoming set 75 to be the last one and thus I could put the "complete edition" label on my playlist, but then Nintendo revealed that the seasonal splatfest reruns will (potentially) have different themes from the first go-arounds such as with the upcoming Halloween splatfest. I'll cover any different themes that the reruns feature in my online series at my convenience, but they'll be considered as bonus sets, kinda like Set 200 in my Super Smash Bros Ultimate series.

Aside from that, I'm pretty much done with Splatoon 3 and with the trilogy overall. I'm glad I stuck around and played these games for the past decade while also doing videos on them! I don't know what Nintendo has in store for the next Splatoon game, likely on their next console, but I don't think I'll be around to cover that.

If my count is correct, then in a way my Mario Kart 8 Deluxe series will be the only remaining online series left during this pivotal era of my channel. I'll probably keep that one around until the end as a stop gap between my remaining playthroughs/projects.

Until next post!
