NOW IS THE DAWNING OF THE AGE OF STUPENDIPOST

Hello there everyone! After years of talking about it the time has finally come!

I have established a PO Box! For the longest time people have asked if/how they can send me things but I've never had a way for people to do it without doxxing myself, which as I'm sure you can imagine, is not ideal!

Setting up a dedicated PO box via Royal Mail is expensive but thanks to you guys is now a viable option!

So if any of you have anything you'd like to send me you are now welcome to...

Rogue's Gallery - Art Assets!

I may have fallen a little behind on sorting and uploading art assets from videos but with the recent reshuffle of the tier rewards I'm making it my mission to get that fixed!
Someone enquired about the assets from Rogue's Gallery recently so I made sure to get these ones sorted first now that the art assets are available to you $5 folks too!

If there are other videos you're interested in seeing the high-res assets for let me know here and I'll take that into consideration next time...

Open the Sky - WAV & A Cappella!

And here's the song again in high quality WAV and with all the instruments locked away in a subterranean city for millennia.

Open the Sky - MP3!

I’m back! The holiday was much needed and much enjoyed but I’m excited to be back and working on a heap of new and upcoming projects! This being the first!

For certain a smaller project to facilitate that time away, this song was written and recorded, with the video mostly completed before I left and now I’m back just took a little more work to have ready. 

It's certainly the saddest/most emotionally intense song I’ve uploaded to the channel in a long, long time. In t...

Patreon Exclusive 'A Pizza the Action' Merch!

You all voted! And no surprises the big recent video won. :P

But I shan't complain if it means I get to see this art on a tee shirt!

When making the video I commissioned the fantastic community artist Jolin to design some additional artwork of the bird to use in the video as cardboard cut-outs, we also have them available as stickers over on the merch store.
But the artwork she made is so good I think it deserves to be on something more substantial than a sticker sheet! So I h...

September Patron Merch Poll!

Hello everyone! I'm back! And it's that time again!

At the end of the month the current 'The Toybox' merch rewards will retire and need replacing with a new design! (Those already part-way to pledging for Toybox merch will still receive it but it will be closed for new pledges.)

So here's your chance to vote on what Patreon exclusive design I release next!

Votes will close in a few days!

The Data Stream - Behind-ish The Scenes!

Hello from the distant past! Ooooh, spooky!

Right now Liz and I are off on our holidays but by the magic of the schedule button I can leave this here for you before we go. ;)

Whilst The Data Stream was made before we were filming dedicated behind the scenes content for every video, we DID have a lot of fun footage from the shoot. We thought it would be cool to share it, even if not as a fully structured BTS!

A PATREON UPDATE VLOG!

Hello all! I thought it was about time I sat down and had a chat with you all about the Patreon! How things are going and how things will be changing going forwards!

But to those who perhaps prefer me when I'm singing, here's the TLDR:

- THANK YOU FOR 1100 PATRONS

- I hired someone! Huzzah!

- The $2 tier will be merging down in to the $1 tier and taking its rewards with it.

- The Patreon credits reward for the end of videos will be moving up from the $5 to the ...

A Pizza The Action - WAV, Instrumental & A Cappella

And here's the track again if ultra high quality Faz-WAV! And uh-oh! Looks like Chica ate all the instruments... And then all the vocalists...

A Pizza The Action - MP3!

Here it is! 

Yet another project that has been in the works pretty much all year! It feels so good to finally have this one out there for everyone to see and hear!

I am honestly gobsmacked that after how this one took to put together, that nobody beat me to it. There are dozens and dozens of Security Breach songs out there and after listening to what I think is all of them, I don't think any have fully embraced the 80s in the way the game does. I knew the moment the game was...

All Over (Your Desktop) Overkill - Wallpaper!

It was suggested that this might make a good wallpaper... And who am I to disagree?

Now your shirt can match your desktop, or your phone!

Will anything on your screen be legible? I highly doubt it! Use at your own risk! I take no responsibility for eye strain!

1080p up top, 4k and mobile variants below!

This BTS was edited by my wonderful partner and official Stupendium Co-Editor, Crayons.

Can't Teach This - WAV and A Cappella!

And here's the track with A+ audio quality and also with all of the instruments expelled!

Can't Teach This - MP3!

It had been far too long since I'd written something that was pure puns for the sake of puns and silly for the sake of silly, so when Two Point Studios reached out to me to ask if I wanted to be in the game and if I'd be willing to make some content in return... Well the stars aligned.
I had to completely rewrite my schedule to make room for them to align, but they aligned all the same! This project didn't exist until about 3 weeks before it was released. Which if you know my typi...

Shelter From the Storm - 2022 Remaster - WAV & A Cappella!

And here's the track in ice-crystal-clear WAV and also what it would sound like if the orchestra died of pneumonia just before the recording started.

Shelter From the Storm - 2022 Remaster - MP3!

Sorry I'm a bit late with this one! Everything's a bit mad around here what with the Two Point video having a deadline, another big project in the works and prepping to fly to the US to perform at NPC in 2 weeks! So much to do!

The Toybox - Behind the Scenes PART 2!

Here it is! Part 2 of the behind the scenes of The Toybox covering all of the 3 filming days!

Sorry for the wait on this one, it's another 1 hour beast of a video!

Huge thanks to Crayons for another fantastic BTS edit! I hope you all enjoy!

SHELTER FROM THE STORM - 2022 REMASTER

Howdy all! Who wants a sneak preview of this week's video?

Probably the most requested remaster of all time, Shelter from the Storm! Just a lil' something to tide you over as I work on several new projects!

This will be re-uploaded fresh on Friday so just be aware that any comments you make won't stick around on the final video!

Part 2 of The Toybox BTS coming tomorrow!

Pull On My String! Patreon Exclusive 'The Toybox' Merch!

'Oh, so you think we're ABOMINATIONS!?'

I think we all saw it coming! The Toybox has won the latest Stupendium Patreon Merch poll and I am exited to reveal the new design! Sing-Along-Stupes is a wonderful companion! Just make sure to stay on the right side of them...

...Or in the case of this design, the left side of them.

As always, those of you still pledging towards the previous 'Room for Improvement' design will continue to ...

It's the Stupendium Mid-Year Merch Poll!

It's fast approaching that time again!

In a few days the 'Room for Improvement' designs will be retiring from the merch reward tiers (to new backers, existing backers will continue to pledge towards them if they are on the way to doing so) so it's time to vote for what comes next!

You have 24 hours! Go go go!

The Toybox - Behind the Scenes

Hello everyone!

Thanks for your feedback on the public release of some BTS! I really appreciate everyone's input!  

I'm happy to share with you all the first part of the BTS for The Toybox, edited by the fantastic Liz! It's a mammoth BTS, an hour long! And this is only Part 1! She really knocked this one out of the proverbial park, it's a real fun watch!

I'll be publicly releasing this a little bit later, alongsid...

Public Behind the Scenes? Your thoughts?

Hello everyone!

I wanted to put something to you all!

I get a LOT of requests for BTS content over in my YouTube comments. And no matter how much I talk about Patreon a lot of folks just don't realise that there is BTS content over here.

So I  was wondering how you'd all feel about me releasing one piece of behind the scenes content publicly to promote the Patreon?

I have here a rather wonderful 'Part 1' of a behind the scenes for The...

No One's Home - Green Screen Cut!

Here's a look at 'No One's Home', comparing the original green screen footage to the final edit!

This was my partner-come-assistant Liz's first foray into organising and directing a video shoot, so massive credit to her for organising so much of it!

No One's Home - WAV & A Cappella!

And here is the song in an unsanctioned higher bitrate.

Sadly the Ministry have caught wind of it and gone on to also confiscate all of the instruments.

No One's Home - MP3!

McGwire is an absolute vocal machine. Need I say more?

It felt good getting back to some good ol' Grade-A Classic Stupendium Evil Bureaucracy.

A look at The Toybox, from initial animatic up to the final video!
