a friendly reminder from our favorite ranger. (see y'all tomorrow.)
two things have always bothered me about uncharted: 1. since these games are so linear, the title becomes ironic. 2. no one ever talks about the first one. uncharted 1 is far from a masterpiece, but it does so many clever things that shouldn't be overlooked. check it: youtu.be/-Lq0OrU68II
Alternative Title for the New Video: “The End of Gameplay is a fascinating title filled with confrontational ideas about the future of the interactive medium and while I do have issues with it, I also have immense respect for it and agree with its broader points.” Check it: youtu.be/6qmt9LX8pTI
this wednesday: nihilist bunnies, danish movies, the world cup, survival horror, teen angst, and the gameplay apocalypse.
i watched a lot of trailers these past few days. too many trailers, really. now that all the major summer showcases have come and gone, let's take a look back and pick the fifteen most interesting ones. this video is only on patreon, but it's posted for free! watch it here: patreon.com/iamadot

this is a reminder to wear your biggest shoes while watching the new video this wednesday.
kneel before the hamster that coughs up white hot spheres of justice.
new vid! when i was in the seventh grade, i had a two-month obsession with the worst RPG of all time. i may or may not have made a complete fool of myself. youtu.be/g3ZHiycAYeQ
this wednesday: a formal apology to everyone who knew me when i was twelve.
finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel on this next video. i haven't made an episode quite like this before and i'm excited to get it wrapped up and out in the world. stay tuned...
these are the original thumbnail sketches for the drawings in the pokemon snap video. i'm pretty sure these are incomprehensible to anyone else! there are a few extra designs of what the ai character would look like and a cut gag where todd snap gets a taylor swift wig. gotta start somewhere!
mission: play a fun n64 game without doomspiraling. status: unsuccessful. new video drops march 11.
the difference in showmanship between the nintendo and sony showcases is staggering. not really talking about what was announced, but rather how the announcements were sequenced and presented. the energy of the trailers flowed nicely with just the right amount of dev commentary. that hour flew by!
new vid hot off the presses! how badly did i mess up my dispatch playthrough? you'll just have to watch it and find out! youtu.be/t9C3DRoA00o
This vid is incredible! It goes over all of the marketing & design needed to launch a video game system after the Atari crash. It's crazy how different the world of games would be had this launch gone just a little bit differently. Shoutout to VGHF all day every day! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

New vid! I took a look at a bunch of video game award show data and tried to remain sane. youtu.be/nSo22t4J21I
new vid! it's about fire, idioms, pine trees, and change. this video should be safe to watch if you haven't played The Midnight Walk and don't mind a few spoilers. youtu.be/VYoI1Wo31bE
just finished keeper. i think i can see all those extra colors that shrimp can see.
Horror Month continues over on the P'treon! Be sure to check out the latest installment right now (for free)! It chronicles my journey through Rule of Rose, one of the most infamous survival horror games ever made. Also: Be on the lookout for something else later this week...
