Audiovisual

I've been creating game commentary videos in the form of "Let's Play"s on youtube since 2007 and live streams since 2011. My channel name is Duke of the Bump. If this is a genre of entertainment that interests you, here are some highlights:

Matt & Mike Rank: Atari 2600 Games: Attempting to rank every game on the most historic game console. On hold.

Archipelago Live!: Streams of Archipelago multi-world randomizers, also with Mike. Taking a brief pause.

Dark Souls NG+: Solo streams of my New Game Plus experience, plus playing the DLC for the first time.

See my playlists for more.

About Topics

Topic pages are concise articles on a single subject, usually related to my identity, experiences or beliefs; articles about other subjects I reference frequently may appear here as well.

⚠️ Attention

These are over-simplifications.

Due to the efficient nature of Topics pages, no landing page is provided: you can use the tags view to view all articles at once (if you see AI below this article, you're already there); or, for an indexed list of links, see the Everything page.
