Given that the channel has just hit its three year anniversary as well as 100k subs, I thought it'd be nice to go back and completely revamp the very first video I uploaded to the channel, giving those ideas the presentation I felt they deserved; how detective game Her Story feels uniquely postmodern in its presentation (it's unbearable, don't seek it out). Took waaay more work and research than previously anticipated but here we are. I hope you enjoy it, and thank you for sticking with me.
Also, stick around until the end for some shoutouts to the following channels:
