I have too many thoughts on The Great Gatsby (2013) Henry Kathman 2023-10-28 | This video sees me delving into the 2013 adaptation of the Great Gatsby directed by Baz Luhrmann; a film that many have regarded as a definitive version of F Scot Fitzgerald's original novel, while others regard it as a dubstep-laden imitation of the literary classic.

An Objective Review of Celeste Henry Kathman 2023-07-31 | For this next video, I have decided to meet the demands of Gamers™ everywhere and write a 100% objective review of the 2018 video game Celeste. Yep, definitely nothing that isn't objective in this video, no sir.Watch to find out whether I give this game a good, perfect, or the worst rating a video game could receive: 6.5/10.Ok but in all seriousness, this video is my attempt at using the format of a review to act as a sort of memoir, similar to works like The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green or "Playing Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain" by Jamil Jan Kochai. Definitely one of the more personal pieces of writing that I have done in recent memory, but I am overall pretty proud of it, even though I feel pretty certain that this thing is gonna get less view than my other stuff. With that said, I hope you end up enjoying this and perhaps let me know what you think of this format, because I can see myself doing this with a number of other works out there.Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/kathmanhenryTumblr: http://henrykathman.tumblr.comPodcast: pinkaisle.podbean.comPatreon: patreon.com/HenrykathmanBibliography“Definition of AVIOPHOBIA.” Merriam Webster Dictionary, G. & C.

What You Need - A Centaurworld Cover Henry Kathman 2022-07-02 | Just as a little bonus, I have the video cover of 'What You Need' performed by myself and my sister, Emily. This was a more intense music production than songs I've sung in the past, so please let me know how I did!The animation for the Tree Shamans was also done by me using Photoshop and After Effects. It involved cobbling together a couple of screenshots of the show so I could make a riggable body for the large tree shaman, as well as upscaling some of the background art.

The Centaurworld Paradox Henry Kathman 2022-06-25 | This video is about the Netflix series Centaurworld and the harsh anachronism that is present throughout the series' plot and presentation.

The Nihilism of Thimbleweed Park | Ending Analysis Henry Kathman 2021-09-04 | Spoiler Warning for the Ending of Thimbleweed ParkContent Warning for mention of suicideIn 2017, Thimbleweed Park was released as an effort to recapture the glory of the point-and-click adventure game of the 1990s. In addition to recapturing the mechanics of the genre, it greatly exemplified the genre's relationship to Absurdism. Though with the story's end, many fans were left unsure of the game's potential messages, which this video seeks to analyze.Music by Molly Noise: https://linktr.ee/MollyNoiseTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/kathmanhenryTumblr: http://henrykathman.tumblr.comPodcast: pinkaisle.podbean.comPatreon: patreon.com/HenrykathmanTimestamps:0:00 - Intro2:06 - Adventure Game & Theatre of the Absurd6:57 - The Mystery of Thimbleweed Park10:30 - That's a Loadbearing 4th Wall14:31 - The Absurd18:43 - Meaning out of AbsurdityGames Featured:Thimbleweed ParkThe Secret of Monkey Island (Original and Remastered)King's QuestDeponiaGrim FandangoUndertaleDoki Doki Literature ClubWhispers of a MachinePutt-Putt Saves the ZooBibliography:Camu, Albert. “Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays (Audiobook).” YouTube, 22 June 2020, youtube.com/watch?v=3Jf6cGbNVt8.

The Pink Aisle Live! | Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses (PC/PS2) Henry Kathman 2021-06-19 | Welcome to a very special episode of our podcast 'the Pink Aisle' Where Emma and Henry explore different movies relating to doll properties. Though this time, we are taking break from our usual slate of films to explore the world of Barbie video games with 'Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses' released for the PC and the PlayStation 2 in 2006. We notoriously found the original movie a little boring, but will we feel the same about this game?

Infinity Train: The Unofficial Tabletop RPG (TRAILER) Henry Kathman 2021-05-31 | This is a fan-created unlicensed tabletop RPG. Infinity Train is owned by Cartoon Network, Turner Media, Time Warner, and Owen Dennis. Please support the official release of all Infinity Train-related media.For more information and to download the game, visit: hjkathman.itch.io/infinitytrainrpgMusic by Molly Noise: mollynoise.bandcamp.comInfinity Train: The UNOFFICIAL Roleplaying Game is an adaptation of the 2019 Cartoon Network Miniseries which seeks to recreate the experiences of the show for a tabletop setting. This game is meant to be played with 2-6 players, one of whom will act as the Conductor (or Gamemaster) of this mysterious train, while the other players take the roles of denizens of this train or passengers who found themselves transported from earth to this world. This game will use the Powered by the Apocalypse tabletop gaming system, taking much inspiration from games like Babes in the Wood, Monster of the Week, and Dungeon World. While players will not be required to have any previous experience or knowledge about roleplaying games, a basic familiarity with these concepts will prove helpful.This game will primarily take place aboard the titular Infinity Train; a strange train that can create anything that can be imagined. If you haven’t already seen this show, it comes with a high recommendation to anyone playing this game. While this game is designed to be enjoyed by fans of the show, the system can still be enjoyed by fans of speculative fiction stories like The Twilight Zone, Portal, and The Library of Babel, or any fans of western animated cartoons like Gravity Fall and Over the Garden Wall. Using both sets of inspirations will greatly help to fill up the train to ensure that passengers arrive at their proper destination in life.Those who download the game for free will get:- A 94-page illustrated guidebook containing rules, a list of existing train cars, and a history of the train.- Original Art by Evan Kisner. edkisner.myportfolio.com- 8 playable character classes.- 6 original train car adventures to add to your campaign.- Custom character sheets for both passengers and denizens of the Infinity Train.- Custom train car sheets to help you create original train cars for the world of Infinity Train.- A cheat sheet of basic moves that characters can do in the game.If you wish to support the work I do, you can also donate on Itch.io or on Patreon. Those who wish to donate $5 or more will receive:- An original soundtrack containing 7 tracks that you can use for your game session composed by the lovely Molly Noise. (40% of donations will be given to her)- Fillable PDFs of the Character and Train Car Sheets- The original vector files for the Character and Train Car Sheets- A photoshop overlay template for virtual sessions.Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/kathmanhenryTumblr: http://henrykathman.tumblr.comPodcast: pinkaisle.podbean.comPatreon: patreon.com/Henrykathman

Revisiting Pushing Daisies in a Time of Death Henry Kathman 2021-03-26 | To start off 2021, I am releasing short essays summarizing my feelings about last year. These essays have the following self-imposed rules:-The scripts are less than 1000 words long-They are not comprehensive essays about the subjects-These essays are not indicative of my favorite pieces of media in 2020, rather the media that I felt encapsulates the year for me.In a time where isolation and death became more pervasive than usual for many, I want to revisit one of my favorite TV shows ever created, "Pushing Daisies". This meditation will not include spoilers of the series, though it is my hope that I can share the ways that this series helped me so it may help you as well.To watch this show for free in the United States, click here: cwseed.com/shows/pushing-daisies/pie-lette/?play=ad8eb524-f84e-4e96-9a42-504315e0a305Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/kathmanhenryTumblr: http://henrykathman.tumblr.comPodcast: pinkaisle.podbean.comPatreon: patreon.com/Henrykathman

The Aerith Paradox | a Final Fantasy VII Remake (2020) Mini Essay Henry Kathman 2021-02-06 | To start off 2021, I am releasing short essays summarizing my feelings about last year. These essays have the following self-imposed rules:-The scripts are less than 1000 words long-They are not comprehensive essays about the subjects-These essays are not indicative of my favorite pieces of media in 2020, rather the media that I felt encapsulates the year for me.While there were a lot of games from 2020 that I thoroughly enjoyed, there were few that provoked thoughts in me like Final Fantasy VII remake. So as we wait another decade for part two of the saga, I want to consider the place of Aerith Gainsborough in our modern pop culture, and the impact her life and death might bring to a new generation.Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/kathmanhenryTumblr: http://henrykathman.tumblr.comPodcast: pinkaisle.podbean.comPatreon: patreon.com/Henrykathman

Cats (2019): One Year Later Henry Kathman 2020-12-31 | Of all of the pieces of media released in the past year, there hasn't been anything that has caused such contemplation as Tom Hooper's 2019 classic Cats, a movie that has had no shortage of shock and bemusement to all who have seen it. Though instead of focusing on matters of cockroaches, digital fur, and the many war crimes of Macavity: this is a video that focuses on the relationship between Tom Hooper and the story of Cats in order to understand the value Auteur directors like Hooper bring to their productions.Music masterfully composed by Molly Noise, check out her Bandcamp!

Snufkins Spring Song | A Moomin song by Tove Jansson | Translated and covered by Henry Kathman Henry Kathman 2020-11-28 | Snufkin's Spring Song (or Snusmumrikens vårvisa in the original Swedish) was a song written by Erna Tauro and Lyrics by Tove Jansson for the music book "Songs from Moominvalley". The song was one of many tunes composed made in this collaboration, and would later be rearranged in 2019 by Emma Klingenberg for the Moomin Park located in Hanno, Japan. Like many pieces of Moomin related media, there were never any English translations produced for these songs, so I took it upon myself to translate the lyrics myself and have reached out to the Wright Step to help make the instrumental and mixing of the song. Apologies in advance if my translation isn't perfect, but I hope you enjoy this slight change of pace as we move to the cold months of winter.All $1 Patrons can download an MP3 and WAV version of the song at patreon.com/posts/44387699You can support the Wright Step's work at the links below!youtube.com/channel/UCtiFnQKnDSIb9UGKTpFDAhAopen.spotify.com/artist/7AhiUcqwHGmeO1sdatkMKP?si=WsWSIuWqQ9CPLuCbSKYNGQtwitter.com/TheWrightStepLYRICS: I wander through the forest, upon an early springIt was as I expected, as I’ve left itThe ground so full of footprints, the sky so full of wingsOf insects, all awoken from their respite.I wander at my fancy, under my hat of Green.I play at day and night, and the hours in between.I do not seek possessions, for one must always be free,To go about your searching, for your own melody.I longed to write an opus, devoted to the streamsA quiet tune devoted to the moonlightA song on my mouth organ, for migrant birds to gleamA tune of glory to my lonely delight.But hours become smaller, and dusk approaches ere long.And now I can no longer find a singular small song.There is anticipation for the spring’s melancholy.And for this lonely traveler, who is completely free.

Brooklyn 99 is Copaganda and Heres Why Henry Kathman 2020-07-10 | Content Warning: Police ViolenceAs we continue our conversation to #defundthepolice , I wish to discuss an often-cited exception to the idea that "All Cops are Bad", Brooklyn 99. This video is not meant to belittle or degrade anyone who enjoys this show or to attack the showrunners and cast, but instead, highlight the ways that the 99 still reinforces the harmful practices and ideologies that are emblematic to our law enforcement. My hope is that the cast and crew can help address these issues as they rewrite the upcoming season (ew.com/tv/terry-crews-brooklyn-nine-nine-scrapped-episodes-season-8/). #Brooklyn99For more info about the ongoing fight against Police Militarization and Racial Injustice, visit blacklivesmatters.carrd.coAll the revenue from this video is going towards the Marsha P.
