Hello all!

It's been nearly two years, but the Miles is on Fire + Miles is a Robot series is finally coming to a close. While I'm spending most of my time working on the Epithet Erased novel and Siv and I plan to do a So This is Basically Genshin Impact sometime in fall, I also like working on these goofy highlight reels of our Twitch playthroughs.

Now that Miles is wrapping up, we have a few options for a new series!

First up, the most direct continuation would be Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney which I played with Siv and occasional guest Dani Chambers (Molly in Epithet Erased, Dahlia Hawthorne in the Ace Attorney anime). This would likely be a single video or possibly a pair of videos entitled The Adventures of Tiny Layton as opposed to a case-by case series like our Investigations playthrough. Tiny Layton would focus more on our running jokes with the characters as opposed to Miles's focus on the gameplay issues. For the most part the gameplay is much better than Investigations The story is... uh. Well, Siv and I absolutely despise the climax of the mystery element of this game, but it's simply not possible to make fun of it without spending half an hour talking specifically about why it's so bad, so I think I'll choose to ignore that entirely.

Our second option is a highlight reel of our Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance + Radiant Dawn playthroughs. These videos feature myself, Yam, and Will as the main hosts with a number of cycling guests including Siv, Marissa, and Arim. Personally, I think these would absolutely make for the funniest final video as we had some dynamite running gags and genuinely great acting moments. This duology is also collectively my favorite game of all time, so I'd be happy to make this! ...The downside is that there is over 70 hours of footage, and that's quite a bit to cut down. That's two full weeks of work to watch the footage without editing, and even if I was being VERY conservative this would be a series of three videos at least. GOD they'd be funny though.

The third option and certainly the easiest of the three to edit down is our playthrough of Pokemon Colosseum! The video would be called something like Pokemon Colosseum - Terrorist Dogs, or whatever variation there of doesn't get me immediately demonetized. This playthrough features Yam as a player as well as myself, Will, Siv, and Marissa as guests. Colosseum is by FAR the shortest of the three options and would inarguably be the easiest to edit down. It was only a collective 20-something hours, most of that is skippable, and there's really no question about what to cut or keep because the footage is so samey and there's no plot I have to worry about including. It's just our jokes!

Keep in mind you are able to vote for all the options and I'm planning to get to all of these eventually. I might even hire out a second editor for them, but I'll be honest I kind of like having creative control of what does and doesn't get focus in these, haha.
