Phantasmagoria 2 episode taken down, video available
A couple days ago Youtube informed me that the Phantasmagoria 2 episode of Ross's Game Dungeon was removed due to violating their content policies, but also said I was not receiving a strike since I may not have realized it was. That's understandable, considering how I uploaded it almost 5 years ago and gated it only for viewers age 18 and up. My theory is that it adhered to Youtube's content standards for 18+ content in 2019, but the same video does not meet them in 2024. In any event, I have no idea where to re-upload it for streaming, since I'm not sure any streaming service would allow it. It's a video that strikes me as definitely R-rated content, but not pornographic, and the internet doesn't seem to have many options for a video like that. It's been suggested I should censor it and re-upload it, but that video was never designed to be censored and even had dialogue to that effect, plus a major point made in that episode is that the game is so full of intense content it's difficult to know what would have to be censored and what is acceptable. In the meantime, I've uploaded a copy of the original video, so you're free to download it, share it, and back it up. I'm unsure of how else to handle it at this time, though I'll definitely recap all of this in a future follow-up Game Dungeon episode.

Videochat August 2024
Here's the August videochat. There's discussion of SKG-related questions for the first portion, then the usual random questions after that. Also that bug re-emerged where the framerate gets dropped recording me, I'm not sure what caused it, I'll try and fix it for next time.
ROSS'S GAME DUNGEON: CULPA INNATA
New Game Dungeon, finally! This is the most-delayed, but also the longest Game Dungeon I've made, but the game earned it. The next one will be shorter!
Questions for Videochat August 2024
Ask questions or topics to discuss here for the next videochat with fans at 5:00pm UTC on August 24th at twitch.tv/rossbroadcast. I'll have some minor announcements on the campaign at the start. New Game Dungeon in a couple days!

Europeans can save gaming! (short version)
Here is a short video explanation of the European Citizens' Initiative, this one should be much easier to share and get the bare bones message across about what it is doing. For those who want the opposite, the long Video FAQ should be out tomorrow!
Europeans can save gaming!
The European Citizens' Initiative has launched! This is the biggest and most ambitious chance to create law on publishers destroying videogames they have already sold to you. Get EU citizens to sign it!
Videochat July 2024

DEAD GAME NEWS: UK GOVERNMENT RESPONSE
We've received an official response from UK government on the issue of videogame destruction by publishers. This goes over all of it, some of it is quite helpful! This also includes some updates on Australia, Canada and Brazil

Game campaign ADHD version
50 second explanation of the game campaign!
The largest campaign ever to stop publishers destroying games
Here's a campaign video to stop games from being destroyed! While a chunk of it is focused on "The Crew" shutdown, there are other options also. There are more legal options brought up here on what we can do stop this than I think has ever been discussed before. Also check out stopkillinggames.com for how to take action directly! A much shorter version (50 seconds) will be up tomorrow.
Videochat March 2024
Here's the March videochat. This started after a chat talking just about the campaign to stop games being destroyed (video just prior to this). It's just the usual ramblings, nothing important.

I hope to have a full "launch" on April 2nd. I'll get back to the regular videos as soon as I can.
Videochat February 2024
Here's the February videochat. This one was more the usual rambling. While The Crew campaign was brought up, there was nothing crucial discussed on it, the most important stuff is still in the previous video. It was mostly just answering random questions again. More real videos coming!

Videochat January 2024
Here's the latest videochat. This one was a little different, the first 45 minutes or so was just talking about possible plans for legal action against Ubisoft for The Crew shutdown + related topics. The rest is just the usual rambling about misc. stuff.

ROSS'S GAME DUNGEON: STATE OF MIND
Merry Christmas! This was supposed to come out sooner, but made it just barely in time instead. This one might be a little more chaotic than usual, but it felt like an experience.
Videochat December 2023
Here's the December videochat. Usual rambling, some of which are topics that have been done in the past, but this stuff can feel a bit like a dream state when I'm doing it anyway.
Questions for Videochat December 2023

Happy Halloween! This ended up being much more 11th hour than I planned, but here is Turkish Resident Evil!
Videochat October 2023
October videochat, there actually weren't as many questions this time, so maybe something went wrong. I rambled as usual, though probably made more sense towards the beginning. Halloween video coming!
FREEMAN'S MIND 2: EPISODE 19
New Freeman's Mind! This one had a lot of delays mostly due to coordination with sound issues. It's still not fully cleared up, but at least it's out now. Also, since I imagine people will think otherwise, this episode had no modding of enemy spawning, it's 100% authentic as you see it in the video (though I'm still using the same build of HL2 when I started FM2). What happened in the vanilla game surprised me on that front.
Questions for Videochat October 2023
Ask questions or topics to discuss here for the next videochat with fans at 5:00pm UTC on October 14th at twitch.tv/rossbroadcast. The next Freeman's Mind will be out before then, multiple other videos still in the works.
More Gobliins 2 with Paul Morgan Stetler
I've been invited back for more of Gobliins 2 with Paul Morgan Stetler (lead actor of Phantasmagoria 2). Last time it went pretty well, the tree puzzle was easily the worst part, hopefully the rest is better than that.
Interview with Pr0nogo about game immersion and RTS stuff
This interview was kind of confusing, since I originally thought we were going to be talking about game environments, but it ended up being more about game character behavior and immersion. The conversation shifted towards RTS stuff later on.
