Final Fantasy X was an influential game for a lot of reasons from gameplay to its groundbreaking use of voice acting for the series but what series composer Nobuo Uematsu did for the game was truly something else, so let's talk about To Zanarkand, Hymn of the Fayth and how they related to Tidus, Yuna, Auron and the rest of the gang

Title lovingly inspired by The World is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die.
Outer Wilds is a fantastic experience but what's even more astounding than the hand crafted universe, is how composer Andrew Prahlow managed to use some genre's not seen in video games before and the effect that has on connecting the players to the world.

For Zelda Month I decided replay my favorite Zelda game and what I didn't expect is that Majora's Mask helped me contextualize the snap lockdown Aotearoa New Zealand went into back in August, and through that I was able to understand the game in a way I never had before.
Thank you to @wizawhat @iamerror and @weighty for lending their voices for the project and @eurothug4000 @GCVazquez and Wizawhat for the script help. Also a huge up to @AmieWaters for the phenomenal music. All Majora's Mask footage was captured using Nerrel's HD Texture mod pack.

I have fallen in love with the Yakuza series for many reasons, from loveable cast of characters, to the absurd humor in the main but especially sub-stories, the thing that kept me attached to the games though, was the very real humanity found in not only Kiryu and Ichiban, but every single character I came across. Let's talk about how Yakuza humanizes those in a life of crime.

With the recent removal of all roms from Emuparadise at the hands of Nintendo I want to touch on what that means for the games industry and the preservation of the medium as a whole. From remakes, remasters and everything in between

Kept ya waiting, huh?
Mass Effect 3 has one of, if not the most, controversial ending is all of games. But why was that? With this video I wanted to take a look at tragic story telling in games and why it doesn't always land, looking through one of gamings most heated ends.

Far Cry 5 is a confused game that couldn't quite figure out what kind of game it wanted to be. Let's take a deeper look at why that is.
Thanks to Raz for the extra Far Cry 5 footage and to Nerf Guy for the Fallout 4 footage.

There is a relationship between gun manufacturers and major video game publishers that's seemed to go unnoticed, and I wanna talk about how video games are funding gun and arms industry.

Okami is the most beloved game that no one ever played, was that cause it's constantly referred to as a 3D Zelda clone? Probably not but I wanna discuss what counts as a 3D Zelda clone and if Okami is actually the clone people make it out to be.

The Great Plateau is an interesting case for Open World tutorial design that I think does a lot right so let's take a look at why that is and how it helps to continue to evolve the Zelda series as a whole.

This year has been absolutely stacked with games from all kinds of genre's, but the biggest and most pleasant surprise for me was just how much love 3D platformer collectathons got on a mainstream level. So let's look at the design of Yooka Laylee, Snake Pass, A Hat in Time and Mario Odyssey to see if this is a return or just a quick flash in the pan hype revival.

Far Cry has had a wild ride from sci-fi shooter to bland open world series, so let's talk about how Ubisoft go there series there, with towers, unused design from Far Cry 2, where Primal failed and the handling of story and setting.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare broke many conventions of the Military Shooter genre, among all the step ups from the previous games, one that stood out was the second mission of act II, "All Ghillied Up" I wanna talk about why it's so amazing.

Mental Health is something that mainstream media has been struggling to properly represent for the longest time, while things have been getting better on all fronts, leading the charge is video games. And with Ninja Theory's Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice we have seen a real and raw look at dealing with Psychosis, which has rocketed the games industry forward with great representation.

Oh boy I hope I don't make some people mad with that title. So, I love the Star Fox franchise, or at least I thought I did until I replayed most of the games and realized the series is actually pretty god damn messy and I wanted to discuss why that is, and talk about the lost potential of the series many claim to love but don't really seem to talk about.
