Hiya, I'm Ben! I make videos (mostly) about games, and I wanted to do a thread showing off my most recent (not very recent) works. You can find me here: youtube.com/@heyitmeben
One of the hardest things about researching a video is knowing when to draw the line - I played a lot of A Wonderful Life and Rune Factory 4, some Harvest Moon and Rune Factory Frontier, but I wanted to play much more!

Thanks for sharing your experience w/ BTGM - It's very special to hear that it connected w/ you <3
When I went into @turnfollow.itch.io's Before The Green Moon, I was expecting a quirky farming game - while I did get this, I got so much more than I bargained for.
This video is about my journey to reach the Green Moon. Reposts appreciated!!

Released a new vid yesterday! Apparently YouTube has a 'hype' feature now, so if you feel so inclined, throw some 'hype' points my way and maybe the video will be shown to more people? Not a clue, honestly

Bowser's Inside Story has many admirable qualities, using its obvious affection for the DS to adapt more of the Mario universe into RPG form.
It makes for a pretty strange game, but I wouldn't have Bowser's best and only outing any other way.

Look, I'm glad Zohran Mamdani won that election, but I have to ask - does this positively impact anyone outside of New York? Are we all just happy to see some hope, somewhere in the world?
Or, perhaps inexplicably, is everyone I follow actually from New York? Is this how I find out?

I've just realised a child born on the day Metroid Prime 3 released would now be an adult, just in time for Metroid Prime 4's release
i hope i never have to wait this long for a sequel again

Haven't finished the game yet but I already have a rough idea of my thesis for the inevitable Stray Children video. Feel like it's bound to be a massive undertaking, but it's the most excited I've ever been to talk about a game - so totally enamoured by it

I replayed Pokémon Ultra Sun and, to my surprise, had fun. Unfortunately, some of that fun was undermined when the game started asking scintillating questions like "let's tacitly justify Pokémon torture" and "Lillie is useless."
Oh. Neither of those were questions, were they?
