SMW 11 Exit World Record Explained!
Thanks for everyone's support during the production of this video!
Production update 2023-03-04
Hello!Let's get the bad news right out of the way first. I am not gonna meet the planned release date. I fell behind quite a bit and it didn't get any better until earlier this week. I caught up massively but I'm still too far behind to make it in time for Mar10 day.For now, I don't know exactly when the release is going to be because I'm coordinating it with IsoFrieze's next video release, given that the topics are very similar. I'm expecting sometime between March 15th and 18th.But it's not all bad. I actually ...
Production update 2023-02-22
Hello everyone!Hope you had a great week. On my end, I had a couple of stepbacks but overall, things went well. Here's a quick summary of the progress made!Progress is coming along nicely. Today I finished the single longest and most complex part of the whole video, so everything beyond that point will be easier. The script does need a significant rewrite of one of the later sections, so there's a good couple of hours of work that needs to go into that at some point. Other than that, we're a third of the way through recording and ed...
Production update 2023-02-15
Hi everyone!I didn't keep my promise. I said I'd finish the script by the end of last week, and that was a pure lie. All of it. Not a word was true.I ended up finishing the script today (pending some corrections and a few details, of course). I completed a production schedule and started recording as well, so things are going well. Here it is!As you can see, my original planned release date is still holding up for now. This week is a bit rough, with two very dense sections on Thursday and Friday. I am expecting to fall behind a bit, but...
Production update 2023-02-06
Hello everyone!Like I said I would, I took last week a bit lighter. Today though, I have many different things to talk about!Minecraft videoFirst of all, the elephant in the room: the Minecraft video!After a really great first day and an oddly slow next 36 hours, it's now popping off like I've rarely ever seen!As of right now, it's looking like it's slowing back down after being relatively steady for a few days, but it's still at a healthy 2,000 views/hour. It's well on pace to crack 1,000,000 views by the time two weeks...
Production update 2023-01-31
Hello everyone!Already the end of January! Crazy how time flies. I hope you all enjoyed the Minecraft TAS video. It's probably the simplest I've made so far, but I definitely needed the departure from the intense ABC breakdowns, especially in parts 6-8. I appreciated all the kind words I've received about the video and its music!How the video is doingSo, immediately upon release, the video was doing extremely well, but right around the 24-hour mark, it took a sharp drop. I even thought it was flatlining for a moment, since it went a...
Music playlist for the Minecraft TAS video
I hope you enjoy! I had a lot of fun learning and playing these.

Thank you everyone for your support during production! The music will be made available in a few days. I'm shooting for Monday but it could be Tuesday.
New video Early access!!
This is a one off since I finished the video earlier than expected and I never made any production streams. There are only a few little details missing: the music, of course, but also the notes, the Patreon supporters credits, and maybe a few more little touches here and there.Enjoy!
Quick update + Announcement
Hello,Unfortunately I came down with bronchitis and I'm not feeling well enough to stream. It's relatively mild but speaking is the worst part so I'm gonna avoid it as much as possible.I know I made zero production streams for this video, so I plan on making it up by releasing the video early for Tier 2+ Patrons! That's right: progress went so well during the week that I'm almost finished. In fact, if I feel good enough today, I might finish the video and have it ready to be watched early by tonight or most likely tomorrow.T...
Production update 2023-01-16
Hello everyone!I hope you had a great week. On my end, I must admit I didn't have the greatest of weeks. I had a few bad days where I didn't get work done and spent a lot of time in the "Failure" category of my time management spreadsheet. 16 hours throughout the week, for an average of 14% of my waking hours. My goal this year is to get this number consistently below 10%. I suspect I had many weeks in 2022 where it was well above 20%.I also regressed on the sleep schedule, so I'm trying to work towards a reasonable schedule...
Production update 2023-01-04
Hello everyone!I bring great news. I already have some significant progress! I have a finished script. It still need to pass the TAS author proofreading test, so I'm sure there are gonna be small additions or changes, but it's complete. Which means, I have a video structure, a schedule, and a planned release date!As you can see, things are going well. I'm happy with where the script is, and the workload ahead of me. This will be a pretty lightweight video compared to a lot of my other content. I'd compare its complexity to SMB1 ...
Production update 2022-12-30
Hello everyone!I hope you're having great holidays. I spent my week visiting family, eating too much, playing board games and overall enjoying some time off. Unfortunately, right now I have a pretty mean cold and I've been feeling like trash for 48 hours.Thumbnails and CTRWhen the supercut was released, it initially did quite poorly. I think the reason is twofold: first, the thumbnail I gave it was a bit uninspired, and second, more importantly, it was initially shown to my most fervent viewers, i.e. everyone who had already watched the...
Custom music for Part 8!
I also released the ending of Part 7 publicly, with an update to Choco Mountain's piano sound. Also, I plan on releasing a little surprise bonus, possibly tomorrow...
The Finale of the SM64 ABC History series!
This incredible journey has come to an end. Stay tuned for the supercut edition coming out in about a week or so. Thank you to everyone for your continued support during what has been the biggest project of my life so far.
Production update 2022-12-04
Hello!This is my last update before the release of the video. I am working hard on the editing of the final minutes of the video. I've got about 12-14 minutes left to edit and five days to do it.EDIT: I announced the release publicly! It's Saturday, December 10th, at 4:00 pm ET (21:00 UTC) on YouTube and an hour earlier on Twitch.Here's the current progress:And here's the schedule! I'm a little bit behind but not by much. I plan on getting ahead of schedule today in fact. I'm hoping to get Wing Mario over the Rainbow and...
Production update 2022-11-23
Hello everyone!I know, technically it's the 24th now, I started this update in the evening and fell asleep, and it's still the 23th somewhere. Let's get right into it. I didn't have the best of weeks overall, but I had a couple of very good days and so I'm overall pretty satisfied with the progress I'm making.Progress right now looks like this:There are still a couple parts in the script that I need to complete/flesh out, so I totally expect the total length to go up 500 to 800 words or so. On top of a few little details...
Announcement: Production livestream tomorrow (2022-11-23)
Hello! Just a quick announcement that I am doing a production livestream tomorrow, starting sometime in the afternoon (~3 pm EST) and going until about 9 pm EST. This should allow European patrons to catch the first few hours, and North American patrons to catch the last few hours. For Australians or anyone else around these timezones, I'm sorry - I live in eastern North America, so good times for you are ass o'clock for me and vice versa.There should be an update at the end of that livestream. See you tomorrow!
The promised production update 2022-11-11
Hello everyone!Alright, I am back, healthy and rested. It turns out I did have COVID-19, even though the test I did last Wednesday was negative - I tested positive two days later. In short, I was out of commission for about 6 days in total, but two of those days were especially bad.Anyway, how is the video doing? Well, I am behind certainly. It doesn't help that I added new sections to the video so the work left is longer than it used to be. I'm not done adding more stuff to the script either. But I do have over 13 minutes of edited vid...
Production half-update 2022-11-03
Hello everyone!I'm sorry for being silent for a while on here. I actually have made progress, for some reason I just kind of put off writing an update with screenshots and whatnot.Now unfortunately, I have slowed down recently, I got busy and now I got sick. I'm not violently ill, it's just a bad cold which means I can't record and I honestly don't feel much like editing either, nor like writing a huge elaborate update. So I'm gonna give you the current progress and post a proper update with screenshots when I feel bette...
Production update 2022-10-17
Hello everyone!Part 7 has been out a little over a week. I've been relaxing a bit, but I've already gone back to work and finished up all the added material to Part 8. So, how did Part 7 do?Well initially, actually kinda great! It was 2/10 in recent release for 3 to 4 days, but then it lost steam and ended up pretty much dead average. At this point, it's performing exactly like I expect the ABC videos to perform: they are super well received for their core audience, but they struggle to pull in new viewers. As always though, publish...
Super Mario ABC History Part 7!
Oops... I may have forgotten to post it here last night. Apologies!
Patreon update 2022-09-28
Hello everyone!I've been working on the video this month. Unfortunately, I made a bit less progress than I had hoped. This is due to a multitude of reasons, the primary one simply being, I just don't feel 100% motivated. Getting things done is an everyday battle, and one that I don't always win.Nonetheless, I've made a lot of slow incremental progress, which does add up to amount to most of the video! I did fall hopelessly behind schedule and didn't bother to update it to reflect the new reality, so this is how things are lo...
Production livestream 2022-09-16
Available for everyone today because I said so! From 12:30 pm EDT until I'm tired.
Production update 2022-09-04
Hello everyone!I have some good news and some bad news. We're gonna start with the bad news because it's more fun.Bad newsThe last couple of weeks, I had no motivation or energy to work on the video. I made next to no progress after finishing the script and recording about 20% of it. I feel bad about that, but on the bright side I think I am getting out of this rut and I'm ready to get going again.Lately, I've had a bit of demotivation regarding the channel as a whole. I think it's fair to say that I'm not the type to tr...
Production livestream!
As always, if I'm no longer live, the VOD will be available.
