I'm no artist by any means, but this is beyond unacceptable. I can put that extra $10 towards something more worthwhile than a Nitro subscription Maybe I should look at other options like Revolt and see what the hubbub is with them

Making our way into the murky depths of Misery Mire on tonight's episode of LTTP www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7cH...

Welp, the techwear riffing getup was a success... kind of (I don't think wearing a mask would've helped this) Now, to find a decent enough wig if I want to commit to doing videos like this As for these riffs that I'm playing? A little bit of Cypecore's My Confession

So I have my techwear stuff just sitting around, and I've had a few people ask me a long time ago about doing some on-camera performances of my vgm covers ...might have to try something this afternoon. I'll let you know the results

Tonight's episode of LTTP is gonna be a cold one www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeBZ...

Some first stage themes have no business going as hard as they do. This one from Earthworm Jim 2 is no exception www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjXR... #VGMCover #earthwormjim #snes

God help me, I'm going down the Vital rabbit hole

I'm kinda using this cover as an excuse for me to break in the PRS 7 string that I got...maybe www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqkM... #VGMCover #finalfantasy

Almost forgot to upload the latest episode of LTTP last night, but I fixed that. We're going to the Water Temple www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIG-...

What better chance to break in the new Holcomb 7 string than here?

Ohai Mark...

#SongOfTheWeek #altmetal Nothingface Ether Skeletons [2003] A highly underrated alt metal band that should've gotten way more recognition imo 🎵: a.co/d/8q3STGm

For some reason, I can't stop air drumming to this song, though in more of a death metal feel ...should I do it? (main boss theme from 5 is also a candidate) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL9t...

Continuing with some more LTTP, I grab a few more items before I make my way to the Skull Dungeon in the Skull Woods www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHSp...

Talking with a long time friend of mine that I met through Let's Playing. Back then, I never did any titles for any of my episodes, it's always ep 1, 2, 3, etc But now, I'm just throwing up some references to music and movies. And I'm already brewing a lot of ideas for future episode titles

Making our way through the Village of Outcasts, we continue our search for one of the maidens, as well as some very useful pieces of equipment www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMLk...

Continuing through the Palace of Darkness, we search for the first crystal. And then we explore more of the Dark World afterwards www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmSc...

Honestly, I kinda miss doing VGM covers on a 7 string ...that will change soon

It's funny looking back, I started doing Let's Plays back in 2011, then quit after about 5 years. Then I did a little bit of streaming off and on from 2017 until I quit late last year, and now I'm back to LPing At least now it's not as stressful for me as streaming had been for the past few years

So after we get thrown into the Dark World, we make our way to our first dungeon in this world www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFyu...

#SongOfTheWeek #metalcore Bullet for my Valentine Waking the Demon Scream Aim Fire [2008] It's been a good 15 years since I last jammed these guys, and what better way to show it than on Valentines Day...a bit unintentionally though 🎵: a.co/d/i5na2UK

Finally getting the Master Sword youtu.be/DiPfV0KO6sY?...

I think I might be going down another music gear rabbit hole. And I have about 6 or so IRs that I wanna get for this

Continuing with some more LTTP, we make our way up Death Mountain to try and find that last pendant youtu.be/pF8noeGWF9A?...

Sometimes I gotta wonder how the last 20 years of my life would've played out if I didn't get into metal music, or subsequently get into making music in general? www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-Ve...

Even better if you have the option to buy a physical copy of said album. Shows the artists that you actually do care

Back with some more Link to the Past. We scour the rest of Hyrule to uncover some more secrets www.youtube.com/watch?v=5szC...

Fired up PSO2 for the first time in a while. I swear my character looks like he's a few piercings away from being in a nu metal band

#SongOfTheWeek #industrialmetal #cybermetal A Dark Halo Apex Realized -reassembled- Catalyst -reissue- [2018] This has been an industrial metal staple of mine since high school. This band never leaves my rotation 🎵: adarkhalo.bandcamp.com/album/cataly... 👕: heavy-armor-records.myspreadshop.com

Continuing with some more LTTP. We head into the next dungeon and discover a very well kept secret www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwqQ...

We continue through LTTP, heading into our first real dungeon of the game www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBQp...

Think it's about time I dusted the cobwebs off this thing go.bsky.app/BDKBH7t

This was a lot of fun to do. Thanks for having me here tonight

Going live with @reziorenji.bsky.social in 15 minutes. Gonna be talking about some good tunes www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWq0...

Back with some more Link to the Past, where I finally get to explore a little bit of Hyrule www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXmE...

I swear, this theme had no right going as hard as it did. Anyways, here's my take on the battle theme from Final Fantasy Mystic Quest www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V_Z... #VGMCover #snes #finalfantasy

【MUSIC TALK STREAM】 Sunday @ 7PM EST, I'm gonna be chatting with @merton6505.bsky.social, a metal-loving Vtuber who plays the guitar and covers retro VGM. Really looking forward to seeing what we bond over. Does he like glam metal, I wonder? Waiting room here: youtube.com/live/bWq0jib... #ENVtuber

I'm back at it after a very long time www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fFU...

#SongOfTheWeek #metal Machine Head Choke on the Ashes of your Hate Of Kingdom and Crown [2022] Probably the thrashiest song this band has ever made since anything from The Blackening 🎵: www.machinehead1.com/products/of-... 👕: www.machinehead1.com#merch

If you know this font, then you know I should dust off the mic and controllers and give this another shot on my YouTube channel

Yeah, this is gonna be a fun one to cover

I couldn't resist doing another Megaman X cover. This time, it's the cast roll theme as you head down the highway and watch the sun come up, thinking about those lost on the way www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC8p... #VGMCover #megaman #snes
