TRIPITAKA: The Lost Sequel to Cosmology of Kyoto Gavryn 2025-09-29 | In 1993, Cosmology of Kyoto was released by SOFTEDGE, a small Japanese game studio.

Why GGG Can’t Hire You — And Why That Might Be a Problem Gavryn 2025-06-03 | Greetings Exiles today's video is a short research project I conducted going over Grinding Gear Games and their inability to hire outside of New Zealand and Australia currently. The hiring laws only appear to be getting more strict.GGG and particularly Jonathan much prefer a smaller team and they've proven that regardless of their size, they're scrappy, lean and efficient. Will these hiring restrictions allow for them to manage their current resources and support both of their titles?I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!

Building Path of Exile 2 While Maintaining PoE1 - Can Grinding Gear Games Do It? Gavryn 2025-05-15 | Path of Exile is in a strange place right now, a crossroads between 2 games. With PoE2 getting a large share of Grinding Gear Games' attention and PoE1's future uncertain, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on where the game currently stands.My goal is to give some perspective on how spoiled we really are by GGG compared to other studios and to spark a conversation about where Jonathan Rogers and Mark Roberts might be heading with both titles.This video is framed around the concept that GGG is taking a loan out of their built up trust in order to get back on track with both games.I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!

Season 2 Review - Tombs of the Erased is PURE FUN Gavryn 2025-05-04 | Greetings Travelers, today's video is my review of Last Epoch's Season 2, Tombs of the Erased. I've put over 50 hours into my Marksman trying out every DoT variant except ignite for Heartseeker and the season has been a blast! I tried not to yap too much and I didn't have a lot of negatives to say but there were a few. They really knocked it out of the park with this patch and I had a LOT of fun. There's still (always) improvements to be made but this was such a huge step in the right direction for the game imo. All in all I'm super stoked to see EHG pull out such a major W in this season and I'll likely return to make one more character before season 3!I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!

Why Path of Exile Never Had an Auction House - A History Gavryn 2025-02-01 | Greetings Exiles, today's documentary is my research on the history and evolution of Path of Exile's trade and economy systems from 2012 to today and into Path of Exile 2.

However Path of Exile 2 and the introduction of gold as a limiting factor could possibly pave the way to a more modern trade system in-game.

Is Last Epoch Still An Accessible ARPG? Gavryn 2024-08-13 | Greetings Gamers! Today's video is a continuation of my very first video on this channel which documented the story of Eleventh Hour Games and the creation of Last Epoch from Pre-Alpha to 1.0.You can find that here: youtu.be/JjVDwChiJdcThis video will document the history from the launch of 1.0 to where we're at now. I'm not trying to start any drama nor paint EHG or the game in a bad light AT ALL. I'm very passionate about this game and I want it to succeed.

Elder Gaspar and Shades - Mastery Selection Lore Gavryn 2024-07-04 | Elder Gaspar is an integral part in our mastery selection. Through countless previous Gaspars and an innumerable amount of time, he has learned the power and control over a resource called Shades. A Shade is a reflection or projection of you. It’s one of your many past selves that failed to stop the Void and prevent the Ruined Future. Elder Gaspar helps us to harness that power in order to make our present selves stronger.We choose our mastery, a choice that cannot be undone and this is the lore behind why so to speak. By choosing the Marksman mastery as an example, Gaspar guides the souls/Shades of your past selves that had an affinity with the bow to us in order to be even stronger in our current timeline.Our newly found strength and the mastery we have chosen will be crucial in stopping the spread of the Void and saving Eterra.Check out my channel: youtube.com/@GavrynGamingFollow me on Twitter: https://x.com/gavryngamingFollow me on Twitch: twitch.tv/gavryngaming

Keeper Balthas Current Whereabouts in The Ruined Era... Gavryn 2024-06-28 | Keeper Balthas’ current whereabouts in the Ruined Era are unknown but he is alive. Following the events with the time rift opening in The Keeper’s Camp in Chapter one, when Keeper Balthas combined the 2 shards of the Epoch, we’re thrust into the Ruined Era. Balthas is nowhere to be found and only a single piece of the twin Epoch shards remains. Later we find that Keeper Balthas himself started the order of the Elders among Last Refuge. He was the first of the order. His records are scattered throughout The Last Archive detailing his arrival, years ahead of ours in this Ruined time.He located other survivors and provided shelter for them here in the Keeper Tunnels. What were once the Ulatri Mountains, were now a Last Refuge from the Void. Balthas left Last Refuge and allowed them to keep the single shard, to prevent the spread of the Void and keep them safe within the tunnels. Within the Last Archives, he kept the entirety of the knowledge that remained of the Keepers, of Eterra.Check out my channel: youtube.com/@GavrynGamingFollow me on Twitter: https://x.com/gavryngamingFollow me on Twitch: twitch.tv/gavryngaming

A Fast, Fun & Tanky Marksman Bow Build! Gavryn 2024-06-05 | Welcome to another Last Epoch build video! This is my first build diary EVER and very first, the Poison Bomber Marksman! This was all shot in one take with minor edits so it's a bit different than my usual videos, I was trying something new. I may have stumbled onto a cool combination for Marksman that feels both fast and tanky and can be suited towards poison, hit/crit lightning/cold or even ignite (still making planners for these variants).
