So, just in case any Google employee ends up checking my website:
Hi. I’ve lost access to my Google account, which includes my YouTube channel!
Meaning I can’t post anything new even if I wanted to. Anyone is very free to help me out with this issue, as I’ve been rejected by the account recovery process over and over again, and I have no more energy for this tediousness.
Thank you.
I’ve spent the last two months hosting a minigame competition on my Animal Crossing island! It’s been a very busy time, but a lot of fun too!
I first posted the edited videos just for the participants to see, but eventually made them public as the production got more ambitious, and I think this grand finale is quite a solid piece of entertainment, and I hope you’ll enjoy! :)

A mashup of music from all the mainline Zelda games!
It was the only logical next step after Mario and Pokémon, and people kept asking for it, so here’s my Zelda medley! I planned to do it in just the same style as the previous two, but adding real drums by Louis Abramson from progressive/alternative rock band JOLLY was just too cool to pass on. It gave the whole medley more of a rock feel, but I’m really happy with the results! Hopefully you guys like it too.
You can buy the song along with my Video Game Experiments album if you want to support me, or get it for free along with bonus content like tabs and different mixes/stems of the medley, by joining JOLLY’s Patreon page.
Update: Oh, and a lot of people are asking what the purple Link is playing in the video: It’s called taishogoto, also known as Nagoya harp! It’s a Japanese string instrument that I actually bought just for this video, because I wanted something that made the video and music stand out a little. Hope you enjoyed it!
Ethan Braun of Culture of Gaming reached out to me for an interview, and he ended up writing a very long and detailed article about my career and life! Can be found here if you’re curious.
A summary of Pokémon music.
Since the Mario Medley did so well, I thought I’d continue on the same path, this time with Pokémon music. Even more ambitious than last time! Maybe too ambitious, because I don’t see how I could top this one..
A guy wrote to me that my song Rainbow Machine got some airplay on the radio station Bremen Eins in Germany!
I tried to reply, but he apparently wrote his email wrong. So, I’ll answer here instead! :) Thanks dude, for informing me! Let’s see if anything comes out of it, heh..
I get a lot of questions about how it’s done, what kind of green screen I use, how many hats and shirts I actually own, and so forth.
I’ll be updating this when I have more time, but for now I can say it’s just one home-made green screen made of paper, and only one red t-shirt and a hat that I modified with paper! The toad hat is the Mario hat backwards, with paper dots taped to it. :)
Then I changed the hues in the computer. The wonder of technology!
I suddenly made the decision to bike through Central America. If you’re curious, you can follow my blog thing!
Well, this is clearly not working out! So I will stop making videos for now, but I will come back again around the year 2020, with an awesome new prog rock album, and a whole bunch of video game covers, which I think is something many have been waiting for. So, you’ll have to wait a little longer. :D
For those who haven’t kept up, I recommend the Disney Medley pt1 (and 2) if you want to watch a new medley.
I think it’s my all-time best, honestly:
If you’re looking for prog rock, I think my Brighter Skies album is worth checking out, and especially the song The Autotelic Self:
If you’re looking for more accessible original music, I’d recommend Unraveled Lies, but my entire Eyes on the Edge might have stuff for you:
Thanks for your support, and take care!
Just felt like I wanted to share some of the behind the scenes stuff, from making the music video. It was so hard to hear the director’s instructions from behind the camera, but we had a lot of fun anyway!
