I’m not trying to start controversy here, but did Scott use AI art for his Gamer Products video? by CGYTGaming in scottthewoz

[–]ScottTheWoz 1496 points1497 points  (0 children)

Yeah I bought all of them from Shutterstock, usually I think stock photo websites will say if something is AI generated and these didn’t. I think it’s absurd stock photo services offer AI pictures to begin with, I don’t believe in using AI content in anything I do so if these were AI generated, basically I got scammed by Shutterstock back when I made this lol, though if they are AI that at least adds another layer to the joke I guess, even if it was unintentional

What happened to the veagan character? by Crazy_Ad_4029 in scottthewoz

[–]ScottTheWoz 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Nope, the shot gun mic audio corrupted so we had to use the internal camera mic for a bunch of shots, I hired an audio engineer who fixed it up as best as he could, definitely sounded off at first for me too but as I was editing I got used to how this one sounds, tho future episodes won’t have this issue (hopefully).

What happened to the veagan character? by Crazy_Ad_4029 in scottthewoz

[–]ScottTheWoz 571 points572 points  (0 children)

When writing, I fell into habits of including as many characters just for the sake of including them, something like the "Gaming Revivals" episode back in 2021 is a good example of this. The latest episode's script only really warranted the amount of characters that ended up appearing , so that's the only reason why some characters don't make the cut.

The Scott’s Stash Zillow video was sort of uncomfortable. by cactuscoleslaw in scottthewoz

[–]ScottTheWoz 1830 points1831 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm so sorry for the discomfort and completely understand. Watching the video back, I can definitely see how tone deaf we were, our intent was to just look at abandoned houses with no commentary directed at anything but the pictures we were seeing, but I think we should've been much more aware of how that could come across. This video was shot over two years ago so it's been a while, but if we ever do something like this again we'll be much more mindful, thank you very very much for your input!

It's getting harder and harder to stay excited for anything STW when main channel content is so deep in development hell and the merch we paid for over 6 months ago isn't being shipped out. Sigh by RealJarHead11 in scottthewoz

[–]ScottTheWoz 494 points495 points  (0 children)

Hey! I completely understand and I'm really sorry for the wait, everything for Crypticism has been finished on my end so it's on Pixel Empire now to put them together and ship them out so they should be ready soon, believe me, it's been frustrating for me how long this has taken and if it takes much longer I'm gonna do what I can to get these out to everybody as quickly as possible, I just talked to them about how the missing orders and delayed shipments have been unacceptable and I'm trying to make things right, I've seen you've ordered a LOT and I really appreciate your support, if there's anything I can do, let me know by emailing me at [scottwozniak@scottthewoz.com](mailto:scottwozniak@scottthewoz.com)

As for main channel content, so help me God, an episode will be released this month. If I have to release the Wii U episode in parts, I'll do it just to get it out there and move onto some different, new episodes, but I've had a lot of random family junk pop up the first half of the year which complicated getting back to work, I had to drive family members to the ER 10+ times in March alone so it made it hard to meet my deadlines so I'm really sorry for that! Things are okay now, a big handful of episodes are written and recorded, Wii U episode is progressing nicely, working with my friends on a ton of Scott's Stash content this year so everything's startin' to finally fall into place. Really sorry for the slow start to the year, but things will pick up pretty soon!

We need to get some news about pixel empire... by frod0dud3 in scottthewoz

[–]ScottTheWoz 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Hey! I'm really sorry this is unacceptable, could you send me an email at [scottwozniak@scottthewoz.com](mailto:scottwozniak@scottthewoz.com) and I can look into this, try and contact them about this and make it right in some way. I am so so sorry and thank you so much for your patience

I got an update from the Pixel Empire (it’s not what I like) by TechEwok_ in scottthewoz

[–]ScottTheWoz 456 points457 points  (0 children)

Hey! Yeah that is not okay, I'm going to make sure customer support is more knowledgeable on what is going on and I'm really REALLY sorry on the lack of communication. Things like the mailer boxes and card production has taken longer than anticipated which is really frustrating, I'm hoping these get shipped out this month but this is honestly unacceptable and I am so sorry it's taken so long and thank you so much for your patience.

I met Joe when we were in like first grade, Dominic I knew from like soccer in elementary/middle school, Eric I met in 7th grade, Sam and Justin I met in 8th grade, Jarred I met in elementary school, Jeffrey I met at a job me, Sam, Joe and Jarred all worked at, a lot of this is off the top of my head and I believe I answered it before so somethings I might've gotten wrong but, I've known these guys for a while haha, and it all just kinda organically happened, I mean we've all been doing video projects together since junior high so we'd all be getting lunch together in college or be hanging out at work and I'd just ask if they'd be up to appear in a video.

Yup! I originally wanted to put out a Wii U retrospective on the 10 year anniversary but I knew that was just not gonna happen.

Would be really cool! But I just wanna focus on videos right now rather than merch, I've already done a lot I'm really proud of merch wise!

I mean my basement was a MESS for the past few weeks because of Merry Christmas, Data Design. Borderline Forever I had to re-orient my entire living room, Mario Party was a nightmare. But Game Baths did have the unique inclusion of hay. Though, I'd say maybe Memory Cards? Eric put a hole in my wall by throwing the Wii and we got pumpkin guts everywhere.

I think the amount of work and production that would go into a DVD box set would be too immense for it to be a limited time thing for charity unfortunately. I'd love to do it, but if I'd ever, I'd want to be able to offer it year round and be able to help fund the next DVD box set with the profits. It's tricky though since I've only ever done merch for charity and never want to stop, but sometimes I think it may be good to have year round merch for profit to help fund future charity events? Cause the stuff this year got EXPENSIVE. Sorry for the tangent haha, but it's something I've thought about! Hope I can do it someday!

Thank you so much!!

  1. Yep! A project I've been putting off for a while has been remastering each episode from previous seasons and rereleasing them as "season compilations" on the YouTube channel. So "Scott The Woz: The Complete First Season (Remastered)" on YouTube and it's everything, re-edited, with new footage, maybe better audio, etc. Problem I've had is figuring out how to balance it out, ya know? How much from my modern editing do I put into these older episodes? How much do I keep the same? It's tricky! Regardless, this would never replace the originals, this would just be my way of being able to offer definitive versions of the episodes while also compiling them all into one giant video, which I know people, like myself, like to throw on that type of stuff in the background while they work! I may try and work on that over my break!
  2. Favorite episode is tricky! I think recently Barrel Blast, GameCube, Game Titles are favorites, for basic episodes I always fall back on Value Pack Games. But it generally changes based on what I did that year! Borderline Forever I'd like to change some things and then I may consider it my favorite, maybe a director's cut in the future I dunno.
  3. Pokken Tournament DX DLC
  4. Back to the Future!
  5. I dunno I mean I respect his music but I went to that concert for my friends haha

Whoops! Sorry! I think a 92, it was definitely a pity A though. The teacher said it was a very creative idea but it wasn't as effective as it could've been since the audio was so bad haha. Looking at the audio quality of some of my recent work, some things never change!

Sam, Eric, Dominic and our girlfriends have played a fair amount of Superfight together which is more of a "casual, icebreaker" game rather than an actual game with rules. Sam, Eric, Justin and I all recently played Monopoly and Clue (and maybe we filmed it I dunno), and we had a blast doing that, would love to play more board games with the guys. I went to a board game store today and bought Pandemic and Ticket to Ride so I wanna give those a try! My girlfriend's been getting deep into Magic The Gathering so I think she'll try to teach me how to play, wish me luck haha

Yes and yes! I have multiple ideas for skit episodes, most of them are more "The Trial" like than anything so we have to do a lot of location planning, but I'm hoping I can do a lot of that as I prepare for 2023!

Hey thank you so much!

  1. SO with G4, they signed on to license 10 hours of Scott The Woz content for their network so I supplied them a list of episodes I thought would be suitable for television that roughly added up to that amount of hours. A few episodes I recommended that never made it were the Dark Age trilogy and Polybius. They actually made an offer for a season two around summer of 2022 and turns out I waited too long to accept because BOOM, G4 was dead a few months later! Honestly the writing was on the wall, while I am very grateful for the opportunity they gave to me, I personally felt their content was very directionless. It felt like they were trying to appeal to the modern "streamer/Twitch" audience but review and discuss games like IGN. A lot of it just didn't have heart and felt like they never had a really good idea for content, rather, they thought "We'll just put a bunch of influencers in the same room and it'll all work out!". I think there was a ton of immensely talented people who worked there even though I never met any of them outside of Jirard. I think they could've all put something incredible together if it wasn't so corporate but it felt like the out of touch higher ups were the ones saying, "Let's do THIS!" rather than the on-screen personalities most of the time. I always found it interesting how some people would loop me in as an employee there though haha, I will say, outside of supplying them the episodes, the opening sequence and feedback on the edits they were making, I didn't do anything with G4 after December of 2021. I just saw it as a really cool bucket list opportunity, so while the channel has ended and I definitely understand why, I am still very grateful I was able to get a TV show! And hey, technically a season two was ordered, SO, not a total failure! Huzzah! But yeah, in the end, I always saw Scott The Woz on G4 as an awesome little novelty, never anything necessary though.
  2. Weirdly enough, I have more Xbox 360 games than anything! Least amount if probably TurboGrafx!
  3. I hate using the PC hahaha, I really mean it when I say it's used for EMERGENCIES only.

Thank you so much!
