New video is finally up! A look at how BotW, Hitman, and Firewatch change the way we see the world through exploration, with a good dose of French crit theory and biking montages thrown in. Very proud of this one, please check it out :)

The key to a good academic paper is to open with “What’s up gamers”

Then move onto a webster’s dictionary definition of your topic.

And finally close with “but of course, I had the last laugh.”

A part of the next video (which I have been planning since a year ago and working on this whole past month) has proven to be more than I can manage right now. I’m gonna have to shelve the whole video, maybe until next summer :(

really should be no other questions for microsoft published games this week
NEW: During an interview at the Xbox booth on the Gamescom show floor, I attempted to ask a veteran Obsidian developer for their thoughts on making video games at Microsoft amid layoffs and widespread criticism over the company's links to Israel.

I was immediately shut down.

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

About half of my videos disappear too.

"Politics of Control" has a big section about being trans... The rest I would chalk up to violent gameplay, but "Movies That Commit" has a ton of John Wick footage, so it can't be that. Feels random.
