![The Outer Worlds in Close Critique [Spoilers]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TpxidRlZyXc/hqdefault.jpg "The Outer Worlds in Close Critique [Spoilers]
This is a full-spoiler critique of the Outer Worlds, a dark corporate satire wrapped up in a bright RPG package. It looks at the contrast between how the world treats its characters and how the world treats its players, as well as asking how different the game is from Fallout 76 anyway.

![A Thorough Look at Fallout [Revised/Expanded/HD]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/V7FLCg4KdyE/hqdefault.jpg "A Thorough Look at Fallout [Revised/Expanded/HD]
This is a video review and retrospective of the full Fallout franchise, from its 90s isometric roots to the Pitt Expeditions update of Fallout 76, with everything in between. It looks at how Fallout 1 established the tone and iconography of the series, and then how each subsequent game interpreted those elements in its own unique way. This video essay doesnt seek to rank the games, instead looking at each in terms of its individual strengths, weaknesses, and fidelity to what came before. FULL SPOILERS THROUGHOUT.
This video made with production assistance from Nate Greene.

![A Thorough Look At Half-Life [Revised/Expanded/HD]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_bsIXA8lNZc/hqdefault.jpg "A Thorough Look At Half-Life [Revised/Expanded/HD]
This is a full spoiler retrospective video review and critique of the industry-defining Half-Life franchise of games. It looks at the arc of development from 1998-2020 that took Gordon Freeman from the popularizer of mouselook to the herald of virtual reality. It also covers Half-Life associated and adjacent games, like Portal 1 and 2, Source Multiplayer titles, and some iconic single-player mods. This is a remake of a video Id done in 2013. That video has now been delisted in favor of this updated, tidier edition. A link to it has been provided below for anyone still curious, as well as download links for mods. Again, spoilers throughout.
