Final Fantasy VIII Was Deeper Than You Remember Max Derrat 2024-01-13 | Final Fantasy VIII is an absolutely genius game at its core... yet, it's my second least favorite of all the games I have played. This is because the execution of all those genius ideas at its core tends to vary depending on your personal temperament. Therefore, I can totally understand why people love and hate this game. For some people, those ideas will all be executed very well, and for some, not well at all. Today, though, I want to try and elucidate what I believe FF8 was trying to do, so maybe people who love and hate the game can see the good in it.

This Anime Will Haunt Your Thoughts for Years Max Derrat 2023-11-29 | This anime is something I have wanted to talk about for years, but didn't know how. First, it's subject matter is very sensitive, so I didn't know how to present it in a delicate and respectful way. Second, the critical response to this anime is mixed to put it lightly. From what I understand, people generally love the first seven episodes, but severely dislike the last five, and I can understand why. I even agree with a lot of the criticisms. Nonetheless, I find the premise of the show... and the questions it asks so intriguing, that I think it's worth your time.Patreon: patreon.com/maxderrat SubscribeStar: subscribestar.com/max-derrat PayPal: paypal.me/maxderrat Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCj8orMezFWVcoN-4S545Wtw/joinTwitter: twitter.com/maxderrat Discord Link: discord.gg/EuyNXpN Twitch: twitch.tv/maxderrat#anime
Top 10 Most Philosophical Video Games Max Derrat 2023-11-20 | Video games can be just like any other educational tool.

With this video, I hope to maybe set out a framework so other people can go down a similar path.Extra Game Footage Borrowed From:- Shirrako (for entry #3)- Rabid Retrospect games (for entry #4)- Video Game Movies (Deus Ex)1.

It is sometimes equated with the elixir of eternal life that resides within the Philosopher's Stone, but also with the spirit of the alchemical God Mercurius.Having the enemies of the game pursue Fiona for her Azoth, so she may allow Aureolis to reincarnate endlessly, lines up well with Azoth's identification with the elixir.As for Azoth's relation to Mercurius and why that is relevant... Mercurius is the world soul/spirit that resides within the void of space... who binds and penetrates every aspect of existence like cosmic glue. Mercurius, like the Azoth, is everlasting, and its symbols reflect that fact.There are two symbols often associated with Mercurius. One is the "Caduceus Staff". See, the name "Mercurius" is obviously derived from the Roman "Mercury", whose identifying symbol is the caduceus staff (the intertwining snakes), which we see in numerous places throughout the game and, of course, on the game's cover art. As I said in the video, the compound mercury is associated with the human spirit. For one to contain the spirit (the mercury) of Mercurius, is to contain the Azoth, the substance that grants eternal life.The other symbol is the "Ouroboros", a snake who eats his own tail (we also see that in the game). This symbol represents two things. First, it represents the aforementioned void of space. More specifically, it represents the void of space prior to the creation of the universe, when all of life was contained in one everlasting seed. This seed, like the ouroboros, represents a paradox. It is a unity of all opposites. To round things out, the word "Azoth" represents this unity of opposites as well. The name is constructed to reflect this. A-Z = the first and last letters of the English language. A-O = Alpha and Omega (the first and last letters in Greek). A - T(h) = Aleph to Tau (the first and last letters in the Hebrew language).To summarize everything we have said here as an equation: Azoth = Mercurius; Mercurius = World Soul/Spirit;World Soul/Spirit = Ouroboros;Ouroboros = AzothRepeat in one never ending circle.#horror #spooktober

The Most Underrated Silent Hill Game Max Derrat 2023-09-30 | The Western Silent Hill games tend to get lumped together as being collectively worse than the ones produced by Team Silent (Silent Hill 1-4). Is this deserved? Mostly... but with the exception of one game released back in 2009. A game that introduced many innovative qualities that were in keeping with the spirit of Silent Hill and have tragically remained mostly unexplored in horror games since then. This is Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. Extra Silent Hill 1 Footage borrowed from Shirrako1. Introduction (When You Can't Please Everybody, Make the Best Game You Can): 0:00 - 2:292.

Majoras Mask is One Big Buddhist Metaphor and Heres Why (NEW DISCOVERIES) Max Derrat 2023-08-27 | Welcome to my first ever video on The Legend of Zelda. Zelda has always been a huge blindspot for me. Up until last year, the closest I had ever gotten to a Zelda game was when I played an hour of Ocarina of Time about a year ago. Then last year, I put out a post asking people if I ever did a video on a Zelda game, which one should I do, and the response I got was overwhelmingly in favor of Majora's Mask. That said, I did play Ocarina of Time first anyway (because of its legendary status and because it comes before Majora's Mask chronologically). It took me a full year to get to Majora's Mask, and I'm so regretful that it took me this long. This game's lore is OFF. THE.

This Game Gave Me an Existential Crisis Max Derrat 2023-08-18 | Normally when you go to space in a video game, it's to shoot bad guys... not to philosophize about your place in an infinitely expanding universe.

The Greatest Unsolved Mystery in Television History (SOLVED) Max Derrat 2023-08-10 | TV shows often introduce mysteries that don't get resolved, and this can be for a variety of reasons. Thankfully, these mysteries don't tend to ruin the show as a whole. That said, there is one show that TV fandom tends to point to as the prime offender when it comes to introducing mysteries and not giving them explicit answers. That is LOST. In its defense, most of the mysteries of LOST do have answers, but they are answers you have to intuit for yourself. Today, I want to focus in one what I believe is not just LOST's biggest mystery, but what might be the greatest mystery in the history of the television medium.Inside a Mind's Video on The Lost Experience: youtube.com/watch?v=w9Tw12WskOkPatreon: patreon.com/maxderrat SubscribeStar: subscribestar.com/max-derrat PayPal: paypal.me/maxderrat Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCj8orMezFWVcoN-4S545Wtw/joinTwitter: twitter.com/maxderrat Discord Link: discord.gg/EuyNXpN Twitch: twitch.tv/maxderrat#tv #lost SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 15 OF SEASON 6: I am of the belief that the light that sits at the heart of the island is the divine force of fate that is orchestrating everybody's life. It is why Locke says that the "island brought them there" in the Season 1 Finale. That is where the electromagnetic fluctuations come from. The DHARMA Initiative are manipulating the electromagnetism coming from the light to alter their fate.

Top 10 Video Game Auteurs Max Derrat 2023-07-17 | We are all familiar with the concept of the auteur... of an artist with a larger-than-life or over-the-top personality that takes their craft super-seriously. With this video, I wanted to celebrate the people who embody the auteur concept best in the world of video games.TWO EXTRA HONORABLE MENTIONS: Warren Spector - Primarily for what he did with Ultima and Deus Ex. What he did with Ultima is raise the bar for storytelling, permitting more in-depth narratives in gaming. This reached its apotheosis in Deus Ex 1, which I think has not only one of the best stories in gaming, but is just one of the best games ever made. Tim Schaefer - His inclusion is motivated for his idiosyncratic style and his ability to shift between a variety of different types of projects.Patreon: patreon.com/maxderrat SubscribeStar: subscribestar.com/max-derrat PayPal: paypal.me/maxderrat Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCj8orMezFWVcoN-4S545Wtw/joinTwitter: twitter.com/maxderrat Discord Link: discord.gg/EuyNXpN Twitch: twitch.tv/maxderrat

The Worst Silent Hill Game? Max Derrat 2023-06-30 | This week I take a deeper look into one of the more hated entries in the silent hill franchise and where the hate is rooted from.

The Unparalleled Brilliance of Yu-Gi-Ohs Lore - Eastern Myths Max Derrat 2023-04-23 | Special thanks to Steven Smilanch for editing this video!You get to hear my wife's lovely voice in this video! Last year, my wife and I collaborated on a Yu-Gi-Oh video. In that video, we showed the brilliant ways the creators of the game made use of real-life myths and incorporated them into aesthetics and gameplay. That old video was focused on Western myths, while this video is focused on Eastern myths.

The Most Philosophical Anime Ever Made? Max Derrat 2023-04-15 | This week I finally take a deeper dive and analyze the most requested anime series from my audience, Ergo Proxy. What was once my most difficult to watch series ended up being a self-fulfilling experience rich in philosophy that allows the viewer to experience its many layers with little hand-holding. Ergo Proxy offers a unique experience and may be the most philosophical anime of all time.Patreon: patreon.com/maxderrat SubscribeStar: subscribestar.com/max-derrat PayPal: paypal.me/maxderratJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCj8orMezFWVcoN-4S545Wtw/joinMy Website: maxderrat.com Twitter: twitter.com/maxderratDiscord Link: discord.gg/EuyNXpN Twitch: twitch.tv/maxderratMy Podcast (MAXimum News): youtube.com/@TripleSPodcastsErgo Proxy Episode 1: youtube.com/watch?v=a06fqHQNLNkErgo Proxy Episodes 2-23: youtube.com/watch?v=Xg44r0LerUw1.
