After speedrunning classic PC adventure games, I realized that if anyone was going to make speedrun documentaries about our community, I couldn't wait for anyone else to do it. In the summer of 2020, I released the world record history of King's Quest, and I've been making speed docs ever since.
I currently focus on retro PC adventure games like King's Quest and Quest for Glory. As time goes on, I may branch out, but my interest is finding passionate, smaller communities.

A few weeks back, I hit 100K subs and did one of those obligatory Q&A videos, with questions from you all. Thanks for all the support!

We hit 100K subs! So it's time to do one of those Q&A videos, right? Those are kind of mandatory? Put your question in the comments and I might just answer it.

It is done.
The Dagger of Amon Ra video took about two years from research to release, and I doubt I’ll ever make something of this scope ever again. I’m so thankful to everyone who supported me. The viewers who came to the editing streams. The patrons. The YouTube members. The discord folks. Everyone who asked me, “how is the Dagger video going?” Thank you. All of you.
I’ll be working on some bonus content after a short break.
For now, grab a cup of your favorite beverage, curl up in a cozy space, and enjoy.

Happy October! In honor of Spooky Season, I'm releasing a collection of dark lofi tracks, and every one of them is either a cover of an adventure game tune, or contains a sample from an adventure game.
You can listen to it on YouTube or on Bandcamp.

I often feature adventure game covers in my videos, including music from the talented folks at Error 47. This October, they're coming together in Portland for their first-ever live concert, and they've launched a Kickstarter to help cover costs (since the members are traveling in from all over the world).
If you've enjoyed the background music in my videos, chances are you've already heard their work. If this sounds like something you’d like to support, take a look: www.kickstarter.com/projects/seanparkerfilms/error…

Recently, the adventure game community lost Roberta Vaughan. It's difficult to properly explain just how much influence Roberta had. Organizing events, making people feel welcome, and working behind the scenes in ways that I wasn't even aware of.
To honor her memory, I will be doing a memorial livestream on August 2 at 12 PM PST / 3 PM EST where we will be playing one of Roberta's favorite games, Laura Bow: The Dagger of Amon Ra. I'll be joined by @spacequesthistorian and Anna Vigue from the Classic Gamer's Guild podcast.
You can watch it on my Twitch channel: twitch.tv/oneshorteye, as well as @spacequesthistorian 's YouTube channel and Twitch (twitch.tv/spacequesthistorian)
I hope to see you there!

A lot of the background music in my videos come from the Space Quest Historian and his friends on the SQH Discord, who release their music under the banner Two Guys Records. They like to put their stuff out on vinyl, and they've done a series of albums that remix the King's Quest soundtracks in a relaxed chill-out style called King's Chill. The third volume in this series is currently crowdfunding on Digger's Factory: www.diggersfactory.com/vinyl/319730/various-artist…
