[00:01] Hi, everybody. How are you? It's been a little bit since an update, but we are back because we have some fun stuff to talk about and fun things we're going to do. First of all, you've probably heard this, but my game Emberville, that I am a co-leader of the studio over at Cygnus Cross, me and the team are releasing it on October 27th. [00:19] So, co.tv slash Emberville, if you're interested, it is all there. And, oh man, it is shaping up to be something awesome. so yes we are very very excited to get this game into your hands in ea and we'll talk about that [00:31] later second it is currently mid-august 2027 and this week is when release soccalypse starts [00:46] oh wait it's 2026 still i'm sorry my brain is my brain has no sense of time anymore um and i was actually thinking of another release date but we have entered the release slips that [01:01] doesn sound right either basically what going on is for the next few months we are seeing not only a ton of natural releases but we seeing a huge amount of games being pushed up because of a major game called gta 6 releasing later and a lot of games close [01:21] to that also being pushed back towards february what this means is that there is no physical possible way that i will have enough hours to play all the games i want to play [01:37] That is the reality of the situation. I've been doing this for over 13 years. This I looked at the release schedule. This is new and and we are all going to be navigating this together. [01:52] Now, what does that mean? That means there will be playthroughs that I will probably drop midway that I'm liking. you're going to see that happen. [02:06] There's going to be, I'm sure there's going to be a game that I'm enjoying and really digging. And then all of a sudden the next day, like Valheim's coming out. Well, I've been waiting for that for seven years. So, you know, like I going to play Valheim the next day and that going to happen That going to happen So what I what I going to tell you is I going to do my best my absolute best to finish playthroughs during this but I also [02:31] going to do my best to return to games as soon as the time opens up in November and December. So there will be a lot of playthroughs that kind of like satisfactory, kind of like RimWorld will [02:43] probably get kind of parked and then we'll return to them at a later date. Another thing I will be focusing on 1.0 releases. There are a lot of great early accesses coming out. There's one in [02:56] particular I might spend a little more time on than normal, but there's a lot of great early accesses coming out in the next few months, but there's a plethora of 1.0s as well. Some of them have been in development for almost a decade. So we are going to be prioritizing 1.0s as we kind [03:12] of get all that done as well. So I think that's about it. Um, my cozy schedule going into this season is Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. Um, I'm probably not going to be doing story games in those right now. [03:25] We're doing EQ legends and things like that, but I'm going to try to use those when I can to try to get like hours of main games in in there that aren like main story things That way we can hopefully kind of get more playthroughs complete get them moved along that kind of thing um also by very popular demand uh and i sorry i [03:43] kind of started slacking on this i will be bringing back far more thoughts videos especially and this is the big request i've been hearing when i leave a game and switch to another a lot of folks go please make a thoughts video then like let us know how you're feeling about it when you leave it and [04:00] that way we'll know should we come back or was he done um i think that's totally reasonable so i i what we'll what we'll start doing is i'm gonna try hard to when i kind of move through these games in the next few months we'll try to cap each playthrough with like a where we were when we [04:15] left what we thought of it when we finished that kind of thing uh so on that note i think that's about it that's the those are the kind of the two big things i very much appreciate y'all's patience I'm going to try my absolute best to play as many of the games and finish as many of the games as I can. [04:31] But I do also appreciate your understanding as you realize this is a new time for us variety, real variety streamers. So it's going to be interesting. Join us on this journey and we'll see you in a little bit. [04:44] Thanks for watching. Bye-bye.
