About Society of Sensation

Society of Sensation is a retro video game review show for the rest of us. It’s about RPGs, RTSes, and other forgotten classics from the time when you had to use a landline phone to get on the Internet. It’s for millennials who like their nostalgia with a side of sociopolitical analysis and seasoned with edgy jokes.

New videos are posted the first week of every month.

Videos are also posted to my X/Twitter account and YouTube channel.

Who are you?

I’m a writer and editor from Syracuse, New York, currently based in Latin America. I’m best-known as the founder and editor-in-chief of Terror House Press, an independent publishing house which I ran from 2018 to 2024. You can learn more about me by visiting my website here. You can follow me on these platforms:

Why Substack?

Substack and X/Twitter are the only platforms that allow free speech. While I have a YouTube channel for Society of Sensation, we’ve heard constant complaints over the years about how YouTube has steadily censored its users, from demonetizing them over innocent jokes to banning them entirely (which nearly happened to my personal channel). Using Substack to publish my videos allows me to be freer with my content without worrying about triggering some idiotic algorithm that doesn’t like blood, guts, or racy humor.

What’s with the name?

You’ll find out soon enough.
