Hey everyone!

So I'm working on the Homeworld 3 video and it's definitely giving me a lot more to unpack than I thought it would, but in the backburner I'm thinking of the next video but am honestly stumped since my brain is consumed by what I'm seeing in Homeworld and some other things going on. These are all coming in the next while anyways, it's more what you think should be first.

So the options are as follows:

  • Darkest of Days. The next of the time travel games. This one never went on sale since Activision likely forgot about it, and it was delisted from most storefronts a few years back. It has some wild toneshifts.

  • SOMA. The next of the Frictional games. Big brain time, and also very forgetful, slow main character time. I don't know if this one would feel refreshing or brain hurt in a different way after Homeworld 3.

  • Cryptmaster. This is a cool new dungeon crawler game that came out recently that's really unique, but unfortunately sales don't seem fantastic from the outside even though reviews are good so this could be a good one to swooce right in for.

  • System Shock (the remake). The 1.2 patch is out with a LOT of new enemy behaviors, bugfixes, tweaks, and a new ending section. I was waiting on this before doing the video, and now could be the time.

Multiple options allowed if you can't decide, go for it!



Thank you as always!

I really like the idea of reviewing a recent cool but underselling game to bump its sales up. :)

Played the demo for cryptmaster and instantly added it to my wishlist, I'm interested in seeing your thoughts about it.

Hi Mandy, I was curious: when you are editing, do you do a pass where you only listen to the audio and not look at the screen? Sometimes I'm washing dishes just listening to old vids, and I swear you're making sure the soundscape stands on its own.
