A Critique on Sonic FrontiersTelekinesticMan2023-04-30 | Sonic's latest 3D outing has, on paper, a lot of what I asked for back in 2017. Does it actually deliver?

#sonic #sonicthehedgehog #sonicfrontiersTalking Shadow Gens, Playing Sonic GensTelekinesticMan2024-08-23 | Let's recap all the new stuff about Sonic X Shadow Generations, along with what I've been up to since my last stream, and then play some Sonic Generations!
Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/telekinesticmanReplaying Pennys Big BreakawayTelekinesticMan2024-05-29 | No Time Attack this time, just playing through the main game from beginning to end.
This might be my last stream for a while, as it looks like I'll finally have work again next week, and then I'll be heading to California not long after that to spend a few weeks with my friends. See you at Sonic Revolution!
Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/telekinesticmanBayonetta (Non-Stop ∞ Climax)TelekinesticMan2024-05-27 | I've somehow never beaten Bayonetta on its highest difficulty, so let's give it a go.
Still not locked in for my next job just yet, but will likely be back at work again in August. In the meantime, I'll be doing a stream or two every week and some 3D stuff on my own time. Except, of course, while I'm in America with my friends during June/July.
Still unemployed at the moment, I have no guaranteed work until August. Maybe something will come up sooner, maybe it won't. It sucks. I'd really appreciate sharing the videos around in the hopes of getting some more traffic coming their way. Maybe one of my videos will get sucked into "the algorithm" and I can make some decent money!
Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/telekinesticmanPizza Tower: The Noise UpdateTelekinesticMan2024-05-17 | Finally getting back to The Noise update for Pizza Tower! Not sure how many more streams there will be, since I might be back at work again soon. I really don't know just yet. I've sent out a few emails to other studios just in case, but I'm still hoping to go back to my last one if they can land some more projects. The animation/VFX industry is very unstable, it sucks.
We often think of Sonic Adventure as the closest thing to a 3D "Classic Sonic" game, but is that really the case? And how much have future games followed or deviated from this foundation?

Sonic???)TelekinesticMan2024-05-03 | My last stream for gathering footage in my upcoming Sonic video! Why do I need footage of Metroid Prime? You'll see.
The video is going well, about 2/3 done editing so far. I hope you all enjoy it when it comes out.
Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/telekinesticmanPlaying Sonic 2 Absolute and Sonic 3 A.I.R.TelekinesticMan2024-04-17 | Continuing to gather footage for my next big Sonic video currently in the works (I swear the script is like...almost done now?). Sonic 2 and 3&K today, might stream Metroid Prime after the script is done and editing has started.
I've heard I may be going back to work again soon though, and if that happens, the video will probably be put on hold, or at least the production will be *heavily* delayed. I apologise in advance if that does end up happening, because I want this thing to be finished and released as soon as possible, but also without rushing it.
Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/telekinesticmanPlaying Sonic 1 Forever and Sonic CD Miracle EditionTelekinesticMan2024-04-12 | I need footage of Sonic 1, CD, 2 and 3&K for my next video, so let's play some of them today! We'll do Sonic 2 and 3&K in another stream next week, maybe along with Metroid Prime.
Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/telekinesticmanPlaying Sonic Adventure 2 (Hero Story) and making Sonic tier listsTelekinesticMan2024-04-09 | Back to record some more footage for my upcoming Sonic video, this time it's Sonic Adventure 2! Maybe I'll be back to stream some other stuff I need footage of, like the classic games and Metroid Prime. It'll all make sense when the video is done, but that's a few weeks away because the script is taking me ages to get right.
Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/telekinesticmanPlaying Sonic Adventure (Sonics Story)TelekinesticMan2024-04-01 | I needed to record footage of Sonic Adventure for an upcoming video, so I figured I may as well stream it. I might be back to record more footage of this game another time, along with Sonic Adventure 2 and a few others. We'll see what happens!
Edit from the future - this stream also ends with me playing a bit of Sonic Utopia.
Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/telekinesticmanPlaying some Monster Hunter RiseTelekinesticMan2024-03-28 | Just chatting while hunting some monsters. Still trying to figure out the direction of my next video project, haven't really settled on a strong idea yet.
Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/telekinesticmanA Critique on Pennys Big BreakawayTelekinesticMan2024-03-22 | From some of the developers of Sonic Mania comes Penny's Big Breakaway, a momentum-based platformer full of charm and finesse.
I would like to mention that this video has been created during a period where I have been unemployed, and therefore not earning any money to pay my bills. If you would like to help support me, please share the videos around, and consider donating via Ko-Fi or YouTube. Thank you!
Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/telekinesticmanPennys Big Breakaway stream (Time Attack)TelekinesticMan2024-03-09 | From the team behind Sonic Mania, it's Penny's Big Breakaway! Watch me try to speedrun some levels in preparation of my video critique.
Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/telekinesticmanChatting about Sonic, playing Pizza Tower and SRB2TelekinesticMan2024-02-11 | Let's chat about recent Sonic news and other junk while I've been away!
discord.gg/0144ErNMluuIsmtakSonic Superstars - First PlaythroughTelekinesticMan2023-10-17 | Let's see how I feel about Sonic's latest classic entry. I have a strong feeling I'm not going to like it very much...
Playing via Steam Family Share from my friend @ApocHedgie
Unfortunately OBS died on me a few times during this stream, and I eventually had to end it early. It could honestly be related to the game itself, considering it has Denuvo and the spin dash breaks at 120fps. Looks like another high-quality release from SEGA!! Woohoo!
Let's do this one last time. Join me in my first (and hopefully last) experience with the final update to Sonic Frontiers. I haven't touched this game since my video critique, so let's see how it holds up after three major patches. No guarantee that I'll finish the update, I'll probably only play for a few hours until I can't be bothered to keep going. No solid plans for a video critique either, maybe a few months later.
Do not be surprised if this stream is mostly complaining about the game's quality. I am not expecting to enjoy this at all, but I'm trying it for a my own curiosity, and for your entertainment. After all, you're here, aren't you?
Sorry about the Discord sounds later on, I completely forgot that I'd disabled Discord's automatic streamer mode to address that. My bad! I also realised afterwards that Discord was much louder than my voice, which should have been the other way around.
Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/telekinesticmanCritiquing Deadlink & The Roguelike GenreTelekinesticMan2023-09-21 | I've complained at length in the past about intrusive RPG mechanics in real-time action games, but roguelikes are finally the climax. Listen to my thoughts about Deadlink and how it subverts, or reinforces, the conventions of roguelikes/rogue-lites.
I'd like to apologise for a brief visual error in this video. I used footage of Risk of Rain 2 when mentioning procedural level design, but I've been informed the game doesn't have this feature. This was simply a poor assumption on my part, as the levels honestly felt random to me after playing a few quick runs to get some footage of other roguelikes. As I said at the start of the video, I know I don't like this genre, so I haven't played many recent roguelikes in my free time anyway. Dead Cells is the one I'm most familiar with recently, and I didn't want the video to be nothing but Dead Cells footage when discussing the conventional mechanics of roguelikes.

Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/telekinesticmanDeadlink & Channel UpdatesTelekinesticMan2023-08-14 | UPDATE: Don't worry about the bad news I said in the video, it looks like I've got future work coming up. This also means I won't be going full-time on the channel, sorry about that. I still intend to make the Deadlink video, though. I'm in the process of writing the script at the moment. [16/8/23]
I've been really enjoying Deadlink, and am currently planning on making it the focus of my next video. I also have some good and bad news to share about my current situation and how the channel will work going forward. This is all subject to change, but this is what things are like right now. I'll likely make a community post & tweet about it later on.
Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/telekinesticmanTalking about Sonic (while playing Metal: Hellsinger)TelekinesticMan2023-07-17 | I'm back to stream again, it's been a while! Let's talk about Sonic Superstars, Sonic Revolution, Sonic Prime, and all the other stuff I did during my trip to Los Angeles! If I can concentrate while playing this rhythm-based FPS, that is. We'll see how things go.
Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/telekinesticmanA Critique on Hi-Fi RUSHTelekinesticMan2023-03-08 | As a longtime fan of stylish action games, how does this rhythm-focused remix stack up?

Let me know what games you'd like me to stream in future, I'm open to suggestions! I'm mainly planning on streaming Bayonetta 3 when it comes out, once I get a capture card. That would be the basis for a critique video afterwards.
Discord Group: discord.gg/0144ErNMluuIsmtakSonic Triple Trouble 16-Bit (14/08/22)TelekinesticMan2023-01-20 | Hang out with me while I stream the recently released Sonic Triple Trouble 16-Bit remake by fangame developer Noah N. Copeland!

We might stream Sonic and the Fallen Star next time, or Bayonetta 1 (then 2, before 3 comes out), or the new updates for ULTRAKILL, or whatever else I decide. I would like to dedicate more time to my upcoming Jurassic Park video as well.
Second channel: youtube.com/channel/UCmzjnUfbvEo3DF77tNqq9QgNintendo Direct 13/09/22 Live Reaction (and some Bayonetta)TelekinesticMan2023-01-20 | Hang out with me before, during and after today's Nintendo Direct! I'm hoping for a little bit more on Bayonetta 3 and BotW 2, and the 1% chance of some Metroid news, but I won't be upset if there isn't any. Prime 4 is probably still a long way away, but there's tons of Prime remaster/port rumours. Could we get some Silksong news, too? That'd be swell.
Don't know if I'll finish it in this one stream, especially since I need to get back to making my latest video. I promise I've been working hard on it for the past month or so.

Second channel: youtube.com/channel/UCmzjnUfbvEo3DF77tNqq9QgA Critique on Bayonetta 3TelekinesticMan2023-01-04 | Bayonetta's third instalment may have some truly brilliant moments that made me smile, but it also left me in tears...and not for the right reasons.
In other words...well, you'll just have to watch and see for yourself.

It seems that unfortunately YouTube has compressed the 5.1 surround sound output and made it much quieter than intended, so you may need to crank the volume a bit more to hear it properly on your home system. This was an experiment of mine as it was my first time using surround audio from these movies, and my first time using Davinci Resolve.
I also regret to inform you of a few render artefacts (glitchy frames) in this video - they are the fault of YouTube and are *not* present in the raw video file on my drive. Thanks, YouTube!
I may have forgotten a few things in the credits, but they were all things I mentioned by name in the video anyway (ARK, Spider-Man 2 and 3, etc.) although I did completely forget to mention Free Guy and Mitchells vs the Machines. Look man, I just wanted to finish this thing, my bad. I've been working on this video for months.

Second channel: youtube.com/channel/UCmzjnUfbvEo3DF77tNqq9QgA Critique on Sonic OriginsTelekinesticMan2022-07-09 | Released on Sonic's 31st anniversary, Sonic Origins is a supposed celebration of the Mega Drive era titles from 1991-1994. But how does it compare to the originals, and more importantly, the existing remasters of these same games?

I forgot to mention that Paramount made a DMCA takedown of a tweet I made that had a photo of Sonic Movie 2 toys released, publicly, out in the wild. So that's pretty cool! Definitely not an abuse of legal systems directed at the wrong person!

What would happen if we combined the two together?
This video is designed the showcase the hypothetical ways that Sonic could adopt a similar gameplay style of the Devil May Cry and Bayonetta series, with a new spin-off developed by PlatinumGames. I don't ever fully expect this game to exist, but I'd love if it did someday.
Most of the footage in this video is from Devil May Cry 5, Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising: Revengenace and Transformers: Devastation, along with a large collection of Sonic titles. There's a spoiler and general content warning in the video already, I'm just making it clear down here, too.

Also, try playing the video at 1440p to take advantage of the higher bitrate, since it'll probably look a bit more compressed with the lower bitrate on YouTube for 1080p video.
Listen to the podcast here! - soundcloud.com/apochedgie/cool-halloween-podcast Unfortunately we still have not recorded the Forces episode due to a variety of issues, but you can listen to the first episode while you wait, even though I'm not in it.

Before I make the full critique video, I thought it would be fun to stream my first playthrough with all of you, so we can share the pain together. It's not a "blind" run because I have seen reviews and playthroughs of the game from other people, but it's my first time playing it for myself.
Discord Group: discord.gg/0144ErNMluuIsmtakA Brief Critique on Team Sonic RacingTelekinesticMan2019-06-04 | How does Sumo Digital's latest Sonic-themed kart racer stack up to not only my own standards, but the standards set of Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed?
Also, in the video I mentioned that this is being made just before I leave for America "in a few days", but thankfully I got this video done really quickly, relatively speaking. So I apologise if I didn't address any specific details about this game, since I did not have time to make an hour long critique.
#sonicthehedgehog #sonicmovieSome Things I Love About MetroidTelekinesticMan2019-02-07 | After the major delay to Metroid Prime 4, I started thinking about all of the things I love about the series as a whole.

Thanks to my brother Keid for letting me use your camera, and Steve for your help with the thumbnail.Super Smash Bros Ultimate Pre-Launch DISCUSSION and REACTIONS!TelekinesticMan2018-11-07 | The new Smash Bros is only one month away! With the hype train only a few stops away from its """final destination""" (very clever joke), I thought I should throw together a quick discussion video about my opinions surrounding the new title.
Spliced in between my thoughts are clips from my original reactions to major character reveals across the past few months. Just a heads-up, those reactions can be pretty loud and intense from my friends, and the video in general has coarse language and stuff. So maybe don't play at full volume in the middle of, I dunno, a preschool or something.

DeviantART: http://telekinesticman.deviantart.comJurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - Group Discussion and Review PodcastTelekinesticMan2018-06-22 | We saw Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom on Wednesday night at 6pm, and we've got some pretty interesting thoughts about the film that we thought were worth discussing. Clearly we had a lot to say with how long this video turned out to be.
This video begins as completely spoiler-free, and we start getting into spoilers at 14:38.
Let us know what you thought of the film in the comments!
Jackson also saw the movie with us, and I believe agreed with a lot of our points, but could not make it to our recording session. Myself, him and Ben have also been playing Jurassic World Evolution since release, and have overall really enjoyed it! I've definitely been the most positive overall, but I would like to try and make a video some time soon about my thoughts on the game, or maybe a livestream of some kind.
DeviantART: http://telekinesticman.deviantart.comRemembering Jurassic Park - 25th Anniversary Retrospective (#JP25)TelekinesticMan2018-06-11 | As of June 11th, 2018, Jurassic Park is now 25 years old. What with it being my favourite film of all time, I felt a form of personal retrospective was necessary, in order to reflect on the first film and the legacy it has established throughout its various sequels.

Jurassic Park (1993) The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) Jurassic Park 3 (2001) Jurassic World (2015) Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) Jurassic World Evolution (2018)
If you have never watched the original Jurassic Park, then please, PLEASE, go watch it as soon as possible. You will not regret it.
