I'm on YouTube
Yes, it's true; I have a YouTube channel. I play video games for the amusement of dozens - dozens, I tell you - of viewers.
I also have a Twitch channel, from which I (very) occasionally broadcast under the heading "Bad at Games." The VODs go up on YouTube unless I think there's a good chance of them getting flagged - for instance, Nintendo really doesn't like their games to be available as videos.
If you're a developer and would like me to play your game, send an email to this domain. Doesn't matter what you use; I get it all.
After I'm done making a series for a game, I (usually) write up an "Afterplay," which is a summary of my impressions, and post it here.

Let's Plays
I play games for the amusement of the internet. The rules I try to abide by are:
- Have fun.
- The game must be released (no alphas, betas, or early access).
- Minimal off-camera time (it's called a "let's play," not a highlight reel).
- Minimal editing (as above, and I don't like doing it).
- Between 20 - 60 minutes per episode.
Anything that falls outside of these rules (aside from #1), I can fit into another category or a stream.
The games I'm currently playing are:
- Atari Vault

Light a Candle
Between game series, I do five episodes of a random game in my collection. It could be a game I've had for a while and never played, or something that I've been playing off and on for years and never recorded.
It's called "Light a Candle" because I'd rather do that than curse the darkness.
All episodes are in a single playlist, which consists of the following games (alphabetical order):
- Burnout: Paradise
Afterplay - Choplifter
Afterplay - Heroes of Loot
Afterplay - Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
Afterplay - Kaiju-A-GoGo
Afterplay - Krai Mira
Afterplay - Magicians and Looters
Afterplay - Mission Thunderbolt
Afterplay - ReignMaker
Afterplay - Savant: Ascent
Afterplay - Sideway
Afterplay - Spelunky: Metroid Mod
Afterplay - Steamworld: Dig
Afterplay - Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack!
Afterplay - The Warlock of Firetop Mountain

Sneak Peeks
As mentioned above, I have strict rules about games that I create a Let's Play series for. However, sometimes I want to highlight a game that I'm excited for, but it's still in early access or some other alpha or beta state. For those, I have single-episode Sneak Peeks, which are all in a single playlist. I have Sneak Peeks of the following games (broadcast order):.
- Defense Grid 2
- Aproaching Infinity
- Strength of the Sword
- Star Citizen
- Ghost of a Tale
Just Play
Some games I just play through with no commentary, because there's nothing I can add. I like having the episodes available for viewing later, when (as technology marches on) the games are no longer playable. And some games just focus so heavily on story that any commentary would take away from the experience. I call these Just Plays as in "Just shut up and play the damn game."
