I'm happy to say that, after a protracted waiting period, my video on Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis has been fully restored. All footage, views, and (most importantly) comments intact. Put that in your phantom and smoke it.
I've never played Silent Hill 2 and I probably never will (I hate playing survival horror games). But the story is fantastic and the music is fucking epic. So when my band @error47band were tasked with recording an EP of music from the game, I called dibs on arranging it. This is how it turned out.
My video about Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is currently unavailable due to a copyright strike issued by one of the people I used footage from. I have reached out to them to hopefully resolve the situation amicably. If they decline, I will be forced to reupload the video. More info to come.
I had the great honor of moderating a panel at @RetroGamingExpo about music in adventure games. The panelists were Sierra composers Al Lowe, Mark Seibert, Ken Allen, and Neal Grandstaff, as well as George "The Fat Man" Sanger. A real treat for a music geek like me to be on stage with people I have admired since I was a wee lil' historian.
My band and I had a chat with @CGGpodcast about our upcoming gig in Portland. This interview goes into more depth about how and why we're doing this, and also what the Kickstarter is for. Time is running short, so please have a look at the campaign here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/seanparkerfilms/error…
As some of you may know, we lost a dear friend recently. Roberta Vaughan was the lifeblood of the adventure game community. She organized countless events that brought fans together near and far, and her tireless dedication to fostering a spirit of togetherness in the community will live on forever.
To honor her memory, @OneShortEye and I will be doing a memorial livestream on August 2 at 9 PM CEST (12 PM PST / 3 PM EST) where we will be playing one of Roberta's favorite games, Laura Bow II: The Dagger of Amon Ra.
The livestream will be simulcast on my Twitch & YouTube as well as on @OneShortEye's Twitch channel (twitch.tv/oneshorteye).
Please join us in celebrating the life and legacy of Roberta. ❤️ We hope to see you there.
Maybe you briefly saw a little blip of a Roblox video appear and then disappear on my channel. That's because, like the dumb-dumb I am, I accidentally uploaded that video to the wrong channel. I've been playing Roblox with my son and recording our little excursions, and that video was the fourth in the series. I've been putting them up on my 2nd channel, which is where it was *supposed* to go. Here's the one that accidentally, for a brief moment, went up on my main channel by mistake.
I've gotten a few questions about why I didn't cover The 7th Guest VR or the fan game The 13th Doll in my recent video about The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour, so I thought I'd address that real quick.
VR games are a bit tricky for me. I don't have a VR headset, which is obviously a major hurdle in and of itself. But even if I did, there would still be a few issues to overcome. Number one: A VR headset would be a major investment for me. Money is a bit of an issue in my day-to-day life. Number two: I wear glasses, so the headset would have to have my prescription in the lenses. Number three: I'm not confident that my computer would be able to run VR games. The GPU is alright but the CPU is getting on in years. I mostly use it to play old games, and it can obviously run those comfortably well, but modern games tend to struggle a bit on my computer. And, lastly, number four: I don't have enough space in my house to set up and play VR games. All of that combined means that playing and recording VR games would be a bit of a logistical nightmare.
As for The 13th Doll, I've always wanted to play it since it came out, but I must sheepishly admit that I haven't gotten around to it yet.
Thanks very much for all the positive reactions to my 7th Guest video. It was a difficult video to get out — I had to render it in 11 separate chunks and stitch them together with ffmpeg to make a single video file. I'm very happy that the end result was received so positively. That makes it feel like the struggles were worth it. So thank you for that.

There's a cool fan community project going on now, hosted by friend of the channel (and the guy who does my video intros), @Lunchpacked180 : Redraw and re-voice the introduction to Beneath A Steel Sky by @RevolutionSoftwareOfficial — but poorly! Check out the Github project page here: lunchpacked130.github.io/BASS-Intro/

My band @error47band will be performing a gig at the @RetroGamingExpo in October, but we need your help. I'll let Robert Holmes, composer and producer of the Gabriel Knight games, explain more. Please support our Kickstarter (or share it far and wide): www.kickstarter.com/projects/seanparkerfilms/error…
