i am currently writing a patreon post about this that is much longer and makes much less sense, so if you want to see that you can pay for it lmao

big news: i have decided that the second i click "public" on this video sunday morning, i am taking two full weeks off. i will do absolutely nothing. i ain't even gonna play any video games. don't even email me. well, back to work btw i make this distinction right now, twelve hours into the friday of a 100-hour work week, because You All Out There can't stop calling me "lazy" in your emails, so i might as well Go For It lmao

i made a massive patreon post about this, so here's the tiny twitter version: the cyberpunk video is REAL GOOD (and huge). it's gonna take another month. it's the best thing i've ever made, so please wait a little longer so i can finesse it! expect it week one of august. additional contributions to the delay: the cyberpunk video too interconnectedly references the next six videos that i needed to also research and write outlines for the next six scripts while making this one. i played 110 video games total for this review.

i'm hearing rumors that nintendo is making a "nintendo switch pro" that will run breath of the wild in 60fps. this could be big the above tweet is a joke. this one is not: my Inside Source at nintendo tells me that the nintendo switch OLED model does in fact run super mario odyssey at 60fps. very intriguing

BIG NEWS: after a year and a half of being My Beast Friend, as of this week "Little" Bibbithy "Bibby" D'Babbis Babbis has started approaching my desk and explicitly asking to be lifted into my lap, where he stands on all fours staring at the front door (his favorite stare-target) i always wanted a dog that would sit in my lap by choice, though not a big one--not the kind of dog who feels more like a bad roommate when they in your lap. i mean like a small one who just kind of chills there. if only there was a word for that. oh well! back to work

it's JULY 4TH aka "America Day"! why not celebrate with my sousaful review of METAL WOLF CHAOS? this is one of the best videos i have yet made. i dare say no other review of METAL WOLF CHAOS is mathematically possible. thanks, @devolverdigital don't YOU want to watch the review that got HUNDREDS of comments like THIS less than an HOUR after it was posted, from people who clicked on a twenty-minute video about METAL WOLF CHAOS and somehow made it through at least fifteen minutes???

for YEARS i've been yelling at anyone who calls SPEED RACER (2008) "actually" "good." no "actually" necessary! it's Just A Masterpiece. love it or go home!

well, @mikeyface went and made a perfectly justified link between SPEED RACER, picasso, and james joyce in this video :-O

https://twitter.com/mikeyface/status/1357743298648096768

a not-insignificant percentage of the worst conversations i have ever suffered in my life have involved a different guy scrounging through thin air for Cool Points by boldly declaring that "pretending to like" SPEED RACER is "just a fad". nope!! it owns, scientifically

well, the new york deadline is sunday so i am finally applying for health insurance today. (i wouldn't be able to use the insurance until february 1st anyway, so i put it off.) i played through demon's souls FOUR TIMES in the past month and i still don't understand this system the psychopaths in charge talk about how valuable "choice" is, though literally all of the plans offered to me have a three out of five star rating. except the "new" plans, which i guess will be three stars next year. also notice a column for an attribute which is ALWAYS "no" lol

hey @Chase . . . if the wait time to talk to the Fraud Department about my account that you all just locked is Greater Than One Hour, maybe don't play such huge loud xylophone and ukulele hold music. just play like an ocean sound--something i can listen to while working . . . :-( the song changes after every time your robot butts in to say "please stay on the line" . . . you won't even let me get comfortable with one song . . . while i'm here can i just say that i'm going to buy a TV in one month, so if you see that, yes, that was me--no need to lock

well, i'll play final fantasy xvi alright so where's final fantasy xvii

several people have asked me, so, OK: yeah, i'll stream myself "reacting" to the playstation 5 event later today. whenever that is, just check out twitch dot tv slash actionbutton !!!

@necrosofty you're invited btw in case you didn't see my text . . . ! i'll try to go live maybe 30 minutes before the event for a "predictions" section. uhh. i got some guys coming to reglaze my bathtub (literally) in a couple minutes, so i hope they're done before that, else i reveal my Full IdiotBaby Self around a buncha professional man's men

here it is--The Final Cut of ACTION BUTTON REVIEWS DOOM! this is the biggest video i've ever made--and that was WITH help of @RyMiTay and non-twitter-user Josh "JW" Watson. thanks also to @Hbomberguy for proving three-hour reviews Are Good (and the cameo) there was an audio mistake with the YouTube Premiered version--we were fixing it while the premiere was live. i'll private that version soon! if you left a comment on that upload, feel free to leave it again on this one :-D

the DOOM review processed on youtube quite quickly (less than one hour!) so perhaps Our New Editor knows his codecs better than i do. at any rate, we got a copyright claim for one of the "royalty free" beethoven tracks i used. i'm gonna try to fix it and reupload if i don't do this, unfortunately, some weirdos are going to light the video up like an advertisement christmas tree, which means i have to occasionally see politicians in my video player when i go to look at comments, which is one flavor away from a horror neapolitan

uh . . . not 100% sure why i'm doing this, though: i'm going to stream myself . . . watching some of my own videos (For The First Time!) and providing commentary. going LIVE on The Action Button Goblin Bunker Network at twitch.tv/actionbutton . . . starting . . . Right Now!! you might ask, "what do you mean by 'for the first time'?" i mean literally that. Making A Video doesn't always involve watching it in one sitting. usually i just render chunks and watch those, call them "final", and line them up for the final export. nothing unusual in that~

i just saw that there's a 24K gold playstation 5. it looks like a CG render. if i were sony, i would never actually manufacture it. if anyone tried to buy it, i'd just fake it getting lost in the mail, and call it a death stranding 2 ARG

anyone buying the gold PS5 is a narc seriously what kind of like 1990s dirtbag cereal commercial backward-hat-wearing rich boy is gonna get one of these for christmas? he'll probably roll his eyes and be like "mom, i wanted an XBOX SERIES X" and then frisbee it into the heated indoor swimming pool

i have finished the final cut of @actionbutton's *three-hour* DOOM review, which contains six big stories in one convenient package. i wrote a big flowery update on patreon, though all you really need to know is, 6K Files Render Slow: Premiere Thursday :-O patreon.com/posts/41373288 actually, i can say a little more: we shot this vid on RED cameras--the ones they used in The Hobbit! also, i worked with TWO editors here. this thing is wilder and weirder than any video i've ever made. the researching process involved 400 hours of playing every version of DOOM

i will buy the mario 3D all stars collection, because i'm an idiot. however i will not do so without tweeting, right now, that

1. they shoulda made 64 widescreen.

2. i have always Personally Disliked mario galaxy. today i consider it a Bad Game

3. why no mario galaxy 2??? fwiw i think mario galaxy 1 is bad. mario galaxy 2 is good. also all the games better be 60fps

last night i dreamt one of my front teeth broke off. minutes ago while waiting for a moving truck at my storage unit here in brooklyn i sneezed and one of my front teeth broke off. luckily my mask caught it. not a great day so far lmao!! well i had a new ziploc bag in my backpack the dentist is going to fix it for free at three-thirty . . . a sentence i just realized would make me sound like daffy duck if i said it out loud

i am glad so many of you are enjoying #moon_rpg! i tried to translate it as "someone else" other than myself. i imagined a person passionately translating the game in 1997, and painstakingly wrote it as they would have. so, please try not to think of me while playing it! 🌝❤️ for example, a lot of people are messaging me about the intro. i don't want to spoil it, though at one point there is a LOT of text on the screen. someone congratulated me on that joke. that ain't my joke, buddy!! that joke 100% originates in the japanese version. et cetera!

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!! and i am living in a yet-unfurnished apartment. let's stream some hardcore #FurnitureShopping over on the @actionbutton Goblin Bunker Network on twitch.tv/actionbutton . . . starting NOW!! thank you for watching my stream earlier, wherein we shopped for furniture and then played grand theft auto v. for those who missed it, here's me weighing in on the conversation about ronald reagan in the new call of duty clips.twitch.tv/TastyHelpfulTh…

today, in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the release of DRAGON QUEST VII, you could listen to Episode 110 of @InsertCredit, in which i (somewhat experimentally) review DRAGON QUEST VII. here's a spotify link open.spotify.com/episode/173MRF… this is the sort of podcast i'd always wanted to do--it's researched and considered though also improvised. i recorded it on my iPhone voice recorder while waiting for a bus outside birmingham airport in birmingham, england, phone up to my ear so people thought i was on the phone
