ALPHA PRIME - SMOOTHBRAIN CRIMINAL (Patreon)

It turns out that you can't even use the Sega Genesis version of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" in a video without YouTube catching it. Oh well. I saw someone on the patron discord (link for that is below all of this nonsense, and has been since the beginning, I don't know why I was surprised that people couldn't find it) playing this game and it spoke to me. It said all of the wrong things, but it spoke to me. 

In terms of slavjank I think there needs to be some kind of sliding scale. Which looks like this:

Alpha Prime is a weird, incomprehensible mess. Soon we'll see how HROT episode 1 fairs on this chart - either next time or the time after - but I think it'll be pretty high up there between Vivisector and STALKER. As for STALKER - I don't know how to even approach it for a video, been considering a series since it's such a dense experience. We'll see. Right now I've got the HROT video and a Wolfenstein 3-D video in the pipeline where I play Wolf3D the way it was meant to be played - with a modern source port, dedicated strafe buttons, and only using the lives system instead of saves on Death Incarnate. If you've never seen suffering in text form, you can clip that last sentence as an example.

Aside from that, I've been working on a special April Fool's Day project that's sure to be interesting which will probably also come with a "behind the scenes/cut content" video that I'm going to try to make better and more involved than those have been in the past - fully scripted, with voiceovers and jokes and all that. This video had about 4 minutes cut from it because of how unreasonably long and boring the cutscenes are. I rewatched the Kreed video recently and realized how there was WAY too much cutscene stuff and it just DRAGGED, and not intentionally like that Interloper bit in the Half-Life video. Hopefully, even though this video is longer, it doesn't drag nearly as much.

If you'd like to have a different name in the credits than what you pledged with, leave me a comment, or DM me on here or Twitter or discord or whatever. If your name is wrong, not included, or anything else, shoot me a message calling me an asshole and telling me to fix it. 

Or if you want one of those fancy colored names that everyone gets now if they want. The credits in the video are usually a couple of days behind the actual patron list.
