finally got my internet back after the tornado knocked out our power so here's some pictures of yoruichi shihoin

What's the real history behind alternative WW2 history? How do video games speak to the experiences of disabled people? What is the connection between American nationalism and Nazism? What do Friedrich Nietzsche and Karl Marx have in common? What does "Punching Nazis" discourse say about society? And most of all, why are the Wolfenstein games so beautiful, and what do they mean?

All these questions and more will be answered in my upcoming video essay meditation on the Wolfenstein games: The New Order, The Old Blood, The New Colossus and Youngblood. Watch to see the full commentary as we dive deep into one of gaming's oldest franchises.

DROPPING IN 48 HOURS: "If Only You Knew | A Wolfenstein Reboot Series Retrospective"

I keep needing to remind myself of this

Valentine's Day at noon:

"Lily Orchard Was Wrong About Steven Universe, But Why?"

See you there!

Alright guys! I've got things all ironed out for you and will be live tomorrow talking to Sisyphus 55! I'll also be going over some fun stuff and have some interesting segments planned! I can't wait to get back to streaming!

Hey everybody, as you might have noticed there's no video essay this week. I'm shifting my work schedule around a bit and will be streaming this evening, so lots of important segments are coming soon, but the biggest reason there's no Friday essay is that my current workload has involved me overreaching a bit. It's a lot of work to write, record, edit and upload a serious video all on your own, and some of the projects I'll be giving you a preview of here have involved a lot of strenuous research and writing. I've written more than enough from the start of last July to now to fill a book -- especially given that the Dark Souls Retrospective analysis is currently at 92 pages and it's not even close to done -- and while I have so, so much interesting, provocative and incisive material to show you, I knew if I tried to push one of them out today I'd be rushing it, so I'm going to try to keep working and have these ready over the following few weeks.

Take care, much love, and I'll be dropping some hardcore effort posts very soon.

Pictured below, in order left-to-right:

"Unfortunately, 'Elemental' Has a Problem"

"The Soul of Man | A Dark Souls Trilogy Retrospective"

"The Many Design Hurdles of Overwatch 2"

"How Elden Ring Broke My Arrogant Mindset"

Some poetry for Halloween and October.

DROPPING IN 48 HOURS: "Sitch and Adam's Bad Argumentation Against Sam Seder"

video's going up in mid to late September for those curious, it's this thumbnail that I teased a while back

I'm working on a new series of videos coming in multiple parts called, "The Last Jedi Videos," where I engage in a study of content creator backlash against the film, what some of the arguments were and what this can tell us about the YouTube review landscape. Surprising revelations and breakdowns in store!
