Hello everyone and welcome to a new (probably short) series of videos I do involving the source code from Valve for Half-Life 2, and some guides on how to do stuff with this code. In this episode, I showcase how to add a custom 2D skybox renderer into a Source 2013 Singleplayer or Multiplayer mod. I provide some context near the start of the video as to why you would want to do this, for example, the skybox clipping issue gets fixed when the FOV is greater than 90 degrees with this custom renderer! I also include a small bonus which is how to add the skybox_swapper entity from Mapbase into your Source 2013 mod. I need to give a massive thank you and shout out to copperpixel over on GitHub (and anyone else who was involved with the creation of this feature!) for creating the pull request to the Mapbase code, which was the basis for this guide! I also try something new with the recording of the code changes for this video, I'll be interested to hear what you have to say about it. Please let me know what you think and see you for whatever I decide to do next, thanks for watching!

Hello everyone and welcome to mine and my brothers playthrough of Super Mario Galaxy on the Nintendo Switch as part of the 3D All-Stars collection! In this final part (for real this time!), we obtain the last (121st) star as both Mario and Luigi and read through the storybook, thus concluding our recorded playthrough of the 3D All-Stars collection for good. For some reason, I couldnt import this video into a video editor without either the audio being deafeningly loud white noise, or having no audio at all, making the video unwatchable. Therefore, I uploaded the raw file, so you have a watchable video! I hope you enjoy the video, please let me know what you think and see you for the next playthrough!
