Carrion: Movie Monster Simulator @iamerror

i am error In this video, I discuss how Carrion makes you feel like a horrifying movie monster. I describe the game's approach to recreating the "cinematic monster" and the "ludic monster." Carrion is definitely a sleeper hit to me, it is quite unique and wildly fun. I love slinging people around and violently consuming them, what can I say? It doesn't take itself too seriously which is great! If you want some horror movie recommendations feel free to @ me on Twitter or join our discord!

This the first video in the "Error... ???" series (name pending, if I can come up with a better one I'll go with that!), which are long form deep dives into a topic. I'm trying to figure out a name, but I don't know dude.

The Curious Case of Carto and the Map Bigger than Its Territory

i am error 2021-03-15 | In this video essay, I discuss Carto (2020) and its relationship to longstanding discussions about maps. Particularly using Alfred Korzybski and Jorge Luis Borges's thoughts on "Maps and Territory" as they relate to the ways that video games represent and collapse maps on their territories. These authors argued that "the map is NOT the territory," but in Carto the map IS the territory, which is awesome, and insane!

Special thanks to the guest voice from Pixel a Day, her channel is amazing! youtube.com/c/PixelaDay

I had a lot of fun making this video and it is the third in a trilogy on indie games from 2020, you can check out the other two here:

Carrion - Movie Monster Simulator (youtu.be/64XI0WWxcgA)
Defining the Earnest Game Genre (youtu.be/aDhxFelIxKs)

The next video will be tangentially related to maps, as it will deal with Microsoft Flight Simulator, and the next trilogy will loosely be related to environments and nature.

Defining the Earnest Game, or The Sincerity of Ikenfell

i am error 2021-03-01 | In this video, I discuss a crop of games I really enjoy for similar reasons, but all seem to be from disparate genres: Celeste, Ikenfell, Undertale, Stardew Valley.

Ikenfell, being the most recent game, is the one I spend some time in this video recommending. What do you think? Can you think of other Earnest Games™ (btw, the trademark thing is just a dumb joke)?

Stardew Valley is a fun game to speedrun and if you're even a little interested I highly recommend you take the plunge and join the community. I want to again thank the Stardew Valley discord and Primatis for helping me understand the game better. There are a lot of credits here too.

Addendum: Later updates were developed by a team lead by ConcernedApe, I imply in the video that he is the only one to develop the game and that is only partially true.

How the Heck Do You Speedrun Portal?

i am error 2020-12-28 | Speedrunning Portal is super fun and you should try it too! In this video I reflect on speedrunning this great game, each chamber is a new idea that I pontificate on. This is not a world record or anything like that, I am currently 194th on the speedrun.com leaderboards (I've dropped two places since writing this video!) Which ideas from the video do you find most interesting? What game should I speedrun and write a love letter to next? Let me know in the comments!
