I am covering EVERY First Person Shooter EVER made in Japan.

From 1985 to 2025, that's over 40 years and 70 games of gaming history.

This was without a doubt the most ambitious video I've ever made.

Well worth checking out Kimimi's stuff, plenty of times I've googled something and found their thoughtful pieces
Hey everyone. I’ll be honest, I’ve run out of rope on this “being a writer” business, to the point where my site either takes off, now, or I start applying for whatever local shop/cleaning jobs are available. This isn’t a “threat”, just an honest statement of where I am. Sorry.

My 16-bit video chronologies are now fully represented (at least until we hit 1991) with the arrival of Turbo Works, a series that will operate under a single unifying premise: "This system was so good, and it sure got totally tripped up by every imaginable setback in the U.S."

Look what's coming together, y'all? Here is an early look at my initial layouts for the "Greatest Hits" themed 32 Bit Library book coming soon! I'm excited to share some of the games featured inside, as they wouldn't fit my usual format for the series.

Right, my latest video has totally stalled. And it's bugging me.

So, if you see this post, do me a favour and repost it. I just want to see if it has any material effect on the video.

Oh, and watch the video. It's dead good. Honest.
