New let's play that I actually recorded the first part of months ago and completely forgot about. Quality is proper s**te but I intend to keep playing this game so... why not just upload it anyway? I gave myself a chuckle rewatching it, but then again I am my own most favourable critic. Enjoy!

Join me as I read reams and reams of dialogue in this Persona-like JRPG by Nihon Falcom. Poor Kou, seems to quietly put up with everyone telling him what a l...

Next part of my Let's Play of The Shrouded Isle and I'm already close to bringing the cult to ruin! Had some audio desync issues so had to downgrade to we**am audio. Some minor bits are a little hard to hear but nothing crucial! Hopefully this is just teething problems as I play about with different setups. Enjoy!

Not off to the greatest start, only a couple seasons in and I was already at the brink of failure! Apologies about the audio. I didn't use my DSLR today and ...

Just managed to beat this in the nick of time before it left Gamepass. Criminally underrated game, easily up there with the best first person shooters imo. I had actually binged the first two games beforehand for the first time as well! The Metro series has quickly climbed the ranks as one of my favourites. Wholeheartedly recommended! Now, time for me to pick up the books...

Double upload, all the way! Here's a Let's Play I have begun for The Shrouded Isle. I actually recorded this first so there's a teeny bit of repeated info if you have already watched the controller profile video. Hope you enjoy!

My first Let's Play! I feel like games like this evoke Murphy's Law and s**t hitting the fan usually makes for good Let's Play shenanigans. So come join me a...

New video is up! The Shrouded Isle is a great Lovecraftian management sim with lots of personality and a great theme - purge your cult of sinners and choose your sacrifices to Lord Chernobog well. Enjoy!

A nice and easy setup for playing The Shrouded Isle on PC with a controller. Perhaps not as short an episode as I perhaps envisioned for "Quickies" but hey a...

Ok this is a gaming channel but I couldn't resist making a little maymay about this lunacy

Just a "quick" channel update video, plans going forward, yadda yadda

Change of plans going forward for this channel. That's it! ~~~Links~~~ For updates, I aint gonna be selling any s**t: https://twitter.com/AltctrlG https://ww...

Gonna take my time with the next episode, doing a bit each day rather than marathoning it (which is how I usually do things). Body is still being s**t and fatigue persists. Hate to do it this early into launching a channel but need to be mindful of my posture and health. Hopefully the issues won't last and having a blood test at some point this week, I've got the episode all mapped out partially produced but I reckon this will effectively be a week off. Still trying to actually make a game as well so yeah, lots of balancing acts and adjustments need to be made for my health. Oh how I miss pre-30s when I felt invincible :(

Nothing to do with my channel nor will I be doing a video about it, but if you like narrative focused games that are more than just a bit eerie, ye canne go wrong with this. Set on an international space station with weird things going on, you play the part of SAM, the on-board A.I. as you hop from camera to camera identifying and solving problems that could pose a threat to the crew. Just started this tonight and am most intrigued so far! If that sounds like your jam, spread that bad boy on your toast and enjoy!

Currently out on PC and PS4, no idea if Xbox One or Switch are in the pipeline. Very much doubt there'll be a Switch version without serious graphical downgrades, because its quite the looker [wolf whistle]

Aha it finally processed it! New episode is up! I gotta be honest, low effort one this week as I've been a bit poorly [sympathy noises]. However it may actually be more enjoyable to most as its less nerdy menu tinkering and more "lets playish" where I giddily chop up a bunch of gladiators. Next week will be a proper episode with a different game. For now, enjoy more Bannerlord!

Updated controller profile in video description, and the audio doesn't completely suck this time! Hooray!

No mic popping! Also no proper episode! I mention why at the start and towards the end, I do apologise. Buuut if you prefer Let's Play type of content you'll...

Well youtube is being a r**t c**t right now, video stuck on 0% processing. Gonna try again but if not gonna leave it for tonight, head is throbbing and canne be arsed wi'is s**te.

The birth of a new YouTube channel! It's all about creating custom controller profiles for your favourite PC games and seeing how creative we can be with them. Tutorial videos can be a dry affair so I've attempted to moisten things up a bit with a bit of silliness and the occasional dead meme. Wanted to get this video out aaaages ago but as Dr. Ian Malcolm didn't say "Life, uh, gets in the way". That and technical hiccups. Basque in the glory that is my prowess with green screen technology (without any use of an actual green screen) although lament the exporting fail as there is some stutter in the intro segment. It took 4 hours to export so like arse am I doing it again. Also the mic I have is rubbish. Rest assured though, I will stamp these technical problems out as time goes on like a sack of unwanted kittens.

Enjoy! (And no, I will be replacing that thumbnail, as wonderful as it is)

Apologies for mic quality, getting a new mic with one of those anti-pop thingamajigs is a top priority. My green screen without green screen tech is top tier...
