On Twitter/X, someone posted that they turned their PlayStation 5 on, turned around, and heard what sounded like his PS5 spitting out the disc for Sonic Superstars. In response, I animated what I thought his PS5 looked like while doing it. It was a quick animation, so there's no color or refined line art.

For my Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast review, I wondered what would happen if Kyle Katarn's actions directly affected Stormtrooper behavior. This...was the result. Animated using OpenToonz, background elements screencapped from Jedi Outcast itself, and timing edited in DaVinci Resolve.

This is the grand opening to my final ArtisIan video, a review of Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. Unfortunately, the fanfare has other plans. Animated using OpenToonz, background elements drawn in Procreate, and timing/sounds/music edited in DaVinci Resolve.

For my video about various PopCap games, I decided to animate a small exchange between me and someone I know who keeps throwing words at me. It's Lex the Bookworm. This was the cold open to the video. Animated using OpenToonz and background elements drawn in Procreate.

For my review of ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove, I wondered what would happen if one of their rocket pieces fell in Area 51. Thus, this animation was born. It plays at the beginning of the video and was animated over the course of 2-3 weeks. Animated using Adobe Animate, background elements drawn in Procreate, and visual effects done in DaVinci Resolve.

I intended to release a YouTube video where I watched some of my old cartoons. Some of those cartoons were reanimations of asdfmovie sketches using Wausau and Jackson characters. A gag I would have put at the end was that I would wonder why I didn't continue doing them, then show this brand-new animation based on a joke from asdfmovie14, the latest installment at the time. Animated using Adobe Animate with egg graphics drawn in Procreate.

I made this cartoon to play before my review of the video game Sonic CD. Since the game's time-travel mechanics were based on the Back to the Future movies, I wanted to see how Doc Brown and Marty would react if Sonic were the time machine instead of the DeLorean. Thus, I made this cartoon. Animated using Adobe Animate with background elements drawn in Procreate.

While reviewing the video game Super Meat Boy, I remembered a scene from the movie A Bug's Life where a slug was served a salty dish, and promply yelled, "Hey, I said no salt!" I figured that would be perfect to go with the list of Meat Boy's obstacles, so I animated Meat Boy to the dialogue. Animated using OpenToonz with background elements drawn in Procreate.
