Silent Hill: The Short Message (STREAM): We had technical difficulties. My capture card stopped recording mid-stream. Apparently it is too old to handle the game. I'm going to try streaming again tomorrow... either from a new capture card or from the PS5 directly.

Azoth Explanation:
Azoth in alchemy is the name given to the "perfect substance". 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 = Azoth
Repeat in one never ending circle.

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.
It's been over a year since my last Silent Hill Mythology video. I only do a video in that series when I got something new and exciting to talk about. Today, I got exactly that. We all know that the Silent Hill mythos is drenched in occult symbolism and psychological concepts. Today, I got something that involves both, and it has to do with a certain ritual you can perform in Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 4.
Silent Hill's References to Alchemy:

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.

After Konami outsourced the Silent Hill IP to western developers, there was a significant difference in quality in maintaining the Silent Hill experience. Now that western developers are once again in charge of building Silent Hill back up, can we expect them to learn from past mistakes?

This week I explain one of my boldest claims to date, the most profound moment in the history of cinema.
Unlike video games which have been around for less than half a century, movies and literature have challenged human thought for exponentially longer. This is why I have hesitated to make this claim in the past... until now. I have decided to analyze a movie that just may have the most profound and compelling moment in cinematic history.

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.

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.
