Zootopia and the careless allegory - Movies are for the birds Nichtschwert 2019-10-16 | Edit (29.01.2020):Recently, Jack Saint released the video "Zootopia, Umasou, and the Failures of Race Allegory" which delves into many of the same topics I discuss here, but with a broader sample size of media and some added nuance to the approach. It's well worth watching and not just because I have a little cameo in it.So if you aren't one of the people coming here from that video and haven't seen it yet, I strongly recommend it: youtu.be/7oR6iET6FVoOriginal Description:This is the first video of mine where the politics are front and center. I give my two cents on how Zootopia depicts race and why I think it could do with some improvements in that regard.Music Credits:"Beauty Flow" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0Image Credits and Sources:Maus (ISBN 978-0-14-101408-1)MetaMaus (ISBN 978-0-670-91683-2)by Art SpiegelmanSteamboat WillieTom and JerryPhoto of Art Spiegelman (slightly edited)by Chris Anthony Diaz (licensed under CC BY 2.0)http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0Photo of a Pig Gestation Crate (slightly edited)by the Humane Society of the United States (licensed under CC BY 3.0)http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0+ various fascist propagandaSpecial Thankscattun (cattun.tumblr.com)Broeckchen (www.linktr.ee/Broeckchen89)
Magicmaker is Ridiculous - Games are for the Birds Nichtschwert 2019-10-19 | Originally uploaded on 11 Dec 2018Rewatching this recently I felt very uncomfortable that the video was deadnaming Patricia Taxxon several times. So I re-rendered the video with new text.The content of the video is otherwise virtually the same.This time on "Bird talks about games with customisation systems and procedural generation mechanics and indulges in an uncalled-for Dark Souls tangent": Magicmaker.Oh wait that's neither the name nor the point of the show? Oh no.Music Credits:"Baltic Levity", "Crowd Hammer", "Digital Lemonade", "Graveyard Shift", "Inspired", "Lord of the Land"by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b..."A Fine Day for Magic - The Magicmaker OST"by Nick "Woah Constrictor" Paavo (soundcloud.com/npaavo)Videogame Footage:Magicmaker - tastystewdios.comDark Souls - https://www.bandainamcoent.com/games/...Mercenary Kings - http://www.mercenarykings.comDestiny - destinythegame.com/d1Overwatch - playoverwatch.comGetting Over It with Bennett Foddy - http://www.foddy.net/2017/09/getting-...Hitman - definitive.hitman.comLords of the Fallen - http://lordsofthefallen.comAdditional Footage"SHIELD BASH: LORDS OF THE FALLEN REVIEW"by HBomberguy - youtu.be/hxUmdlhaxmA"Getting Over It | An Exercise in Compassion"by Patricia Taxxon - youtu.be/9s_O3ZacFXsSpecial Thankscattun - cattun.tumblr.comBroeckchen - https://www.linktr.ee/broeckchen89
FarCry New Dawn has some weird Bugs Nichtschwert 2019-03-20 | Like the mission doesn't even end in failure, it's so strange. I'm really looking forward to the patch that will allow me to get out of this state and continue the game
How not to Approach Rogue One - Movies are for the Birds Nichtschwert 2018-03-02 | This is not a review.Instead I talk about how letting preconceived notions about a work of art can ruin your ability to understand said work.
