Well, you're here. I don't know why, but you're here. Somehow, the weirdness that is me is somehow appealing to you. Oh well, better put on my sales pitch face...

WHAT IS UP, YOUTUBE? I am your friendly neighborhood NMan64 and I am here to welcome you all to my channel. I hope you all enjoy yourselves and sample some of the videos I make here.

I've completed several Let's Plays on my channel and the playlists for those I have done so are on my page. I'm also preparing to go into streaming as much as possible, so stay tuned for that. I mostly play Pokémon, Mario and Kingdom Hearts, but have also played other franchises like Spyro and Crash and eventually others like Zelda and Xenoblade.

My only rule is that you guys refrain from any political debates. Save that for political channels, or you will be blocked

Weekly Update: Elgato's tests have been a success and mean that I'll be able to get into the swing of things again very soon regarding LPs and projects going forward. With that said, I am going to take my time on these projects going forward, including The Road to KH3. Because of this I am announcing at this moment that Dream Drop Distance's portion of The Road to KH3 will not begin uploading until next Monday, which means more Openings Videos will fill in for The Road to KH3 until then.

As was before, my other projects are unaffected by the Elgato Outage, therefore will not be held back. So Poke Park and Mario Super Sluggers (TBT) will continue on as scheduled.

Today, the final main chapter of Pokémon: Links Between Worlds goes up on my sight on Fanfiction.net and I am super excited about it. And while I do have pretty big plans for another story coming, I am going to be holding back on making more until later on in 2027 to ensure my other projects get the proper work done on them and my story begins to develop properly. An epilogue will go up next week for the story, officially closing the Crimson Fury stories for good.

As per usual, if anything else pops up, I will let you all know. :D

Since there will only be two episodes of TBT tomorrow, I will be uploading another Opening Video for the afternoon/evening tomorrow. But most of my focus will be on working out my new capture card.

Weekly Update: For obvious reasons, there was significantly less work done for Channel Projects this week than usual, all because of my Capture Card opting to no longer want to function properly. Because of this, work will also be delayed this week, at least until Thursday. However, next week I will begin uploading episodes of Dream Drop Distances portion of The Road to KH3, so that we don't miss a beat in that too much this week. In the meantime, as I've already established, I have a series of Openings Videos set to be uploaded in the afternoon/evening of every day this week besides Thursday.

This one will be a much quieter week until I get my new Elgato Capture Card. No real progress can be made on videos until this happens, so I will just have to be patient and allow time to pass as normal. I'll be working to transfer footage to my CPU this week to free up as much space for my external hard drive as possible, because I imagine the next 4-5 days after I get my card (Thursday to Monday) will be me working on all of the projects I need done (namely Dream Drop Distance and Pokémon Legends Z-A). This will then move me towards the Advent Calendar videos and finally the opportunity to rest until my Christmas Vacation kicks in and work can begin or wrap up on the holdover projects.

As per usual, if anything pops up, I will let you all know :D

Okay...again...I finally bought a new Elgato Capture Card. It's the 4K S model, because the Neo was either discontinued or they stopped selling it. I also bought the Micro SD Express for the Switch 2 to make sure I can keep adding games to my Switch. A very expensive day, but I'll have it all in my hands on Thursday.

Okay...while I will be ordering my new capture card tomorrow, I would like to point out that I have fifteen Openings Videos in the event of the capture card not working or being delayed in coming here. That should tide over any issues I may have, at least in the short term. I will let you guys know what model I buy when I know, because I am currently debating between the 4K model and the Elgato Neo. First Opening will be going up no matter what Monday Afternoon/Evening

I am taking no chances with this potential outage from some of my projects. Because of this, I am announcing at this moment that The Road to KH3 will be delayed at least one week until I can confirm more content will come from Dream Drop Distance.

To make sure my video quota stands, however, I will be uploading some of the Openings I've been working on today as well as tomorrow. None of them are Fan Requests and in general are just ones I thought of at the top of my head recently. These will start on Monday, uploaded around the same time as The Road to KH3 usually is, but no premieres or fanfare. Just general Openings Videos as per usual. If I have to keep making more, I will, but obviously I would prefer my new capture card to be working well after I spend the $$$ to get it. Itz_Mild has already pointed me in the right direction of one and I look forwards to buying it on Friday.

The Openings will be a surprise. No spoilers.

If in the event I will be unable to record for a considerable period of time, I will be making a few emergency Openings Videos to keep something coming out. If I do not require them, they will be the first Openings Videos of 2027.

NO, this is not an open invitation for you guys to send me your openings requests. I am going through a lot of stress at the moment and do not need more added onto it. I will get back to those as soon as I physically can.

Brief Update: It is indeed Elgato causing the problems. I will be uninstalling it later tonight and buying the next capture card on Friday (when I get paid). This will cause some setbacks in how quickly projects get worked on and might cause delays in The Road to KH3.

So...I think Elgato is on its last legs...it has caused major problems if I use any audio input besides my Bluetooth headphones, though video seems to still work (in other words, I can record, but I can't commentate, and I am NOT doing postop commentating). I did manage to get a single video of Super Sluggers with it, but it's not a permanent solution. No matter what I try, it won't work. And since my capture card is outdated (bought it in 2017 and no software fixes available on Elgatos website) I guess it's time to upgrade it. My headset still works with the laptop, just not Elgato, so that shouldn't need upgrading. This will set my recording times back a few days at the very least. :(

Weekly Update: Another very productive week for the channel. I got to work on Dream Drop Distance for The Road to KH3 (both editing and recording wise) and while we're far from finishing it, I like where we are. I may record some later today, but that's optional at the moment. I also recorded everything I needed to for Throwback Thursday (sans a randomly missing Mario Super Sluggers game I need to replay, but that's fine), including our last two games for it in one video (I think we know what games I'm referring to). With these projects wrapped up, I can safely say we will begin work on the last few projects of 2026 (namely Pokémon Legends Z-A) in the next week or two.

As an aside, I also had a HUGE idea for a potential writing project, but since it's still in the works as I write this, it won't begin work for a VERY long time.

The main goal for this week is continued editing for Kingdom Hearts and the aforementioned Super Sluggers video I need to re-record, as well as laying down the groundwork for Legends Z-A, as by Wednesday Pokemon XD will have wrapped up uploading and Poke Park 2 kicks off Friday. I'm also slowly getting ready for the build up to 2027 and the many projects for that year, but that's thankfully still a bit of a ways away. For now, let's just get what I can get done quickly and worry about the future when it gets closer.


If anything pops up, I will let you all know. :D
