Internet Dan sounds like South Park if I don't watch the window.
So I stand by my opinion that he'd make a great cameo voice lol.

It's like how can we top this shit we've already done? Oh, this movie for sure.
Might be in my top 3.

9 kills is putting in work. Very impressive. Imagine if he would have done that on Unprofessional Friday.

I wonder what Jeff's strategy was. Having never played it, the tactic that makes the most sense to me is getting a weapon and bolting to the very center of the safe zone, then turtling up and waiting for people to approach you. Like Jeff said, the easiest place to get shot is the big, empty zones.
Like, any equipment shortfalls will be made up the moment you get your first kill. That person will have done all the gathering for you.

...Hopefully Kojima's spell on Dan will be released after Death Standing comes out.
Can cats be cute? (Or: are they innately cute?)
That is the real question at issue here.

Yeah, it comes down to personal tastes... It's just maddening when it's boiled down to its arbitrary core. It sounds so, like, arbitrary.

Automata is fascinating. We're told (in the first half hour) that humanity had to flee earth in the year 5000 from alien invaders, and now we're tasked to go take it back. But the ruined architecture of the earth does not look 3000 years advanced from where we are now. Is that because the team behind the game didn't think (or feel they should) update the ruins to look more futuristic, or is it because I've been lied to in the story about this timeline?

Not really.

Time to finally watch the GBE Playdate of TLC Part Deux.
it sure goes places
Did he reveal what Brad even does all day?
Both Styx games are really good. This is a contender for worst quicklook ever.
? The writing in Styx 1 is fantastic. Did you finish the game?

I think it depends on the creator and how the video is going overall. There are some long QL that I'm really glad exist, like Snipperclips.

Got to play some Persona 5 and you guys weren't kidding about Jeff and Vinny ending the QL where they did.
Cool game so far

Seems to me the last sentence of that Patrick quote means he is specifically NOT talking about gameplay footage, but more shit like Totalbiscuit's "listen to me rant for 78 minutes to say something I probably could've scripted and said in 3 minutes instead"
edit: or maybe shit like this that's 80 fucking minutes long, jesus http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1360827
It's no coincidence that the best essayists on youtube (eg Campster, Bunnyhop) don't do this. Brevity is the soul of wit, and good criticism.

Even the best stuff on YouTube is stuff like Noah Caldwell Gervais where every video is two fucking hours long. I like long-form criticism but there's a limit.

Going to spend a day in Birmingham tomorrow for the Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses. Looking forward to it.
That is incredibly disturbing.
yeah jesus christ
yeah, basically
this video popped up in my youtube recommendations the other day and while I'm sure there are some very good criticisms in it, it's also two and a half hours long
oh no
I disagree. Deep analysis, especially on pieces of media that can last tens of hours, is appreciated. It's like that question Jeff got on Jar Time about reviews moving from a consumer-centric view to a more abstract, analytic view. Not all games require this amount of depth, and you can certainly express why you like or dislike something in 5-10 minutes. But to really articulate why, you need more time. It's like when I get into discussions with people about why I think Skyrim, Fallout, and the like are bad video games that I don't enjoy. I can describe my issues in about 5 minutes, but then people inevitably ask me questions about it and I expand on my point of view, and it ends up turning into a half hour to an hour long conversation. Good criticism requires deep dives.
As an example, I appreciate the lengthy reviews/critiques Matthewmatosis does on various series, and that wouldn't be possible in a short amount of time
She seems like a pretty bad nurse.

Better sexy nurse: TLC nurse or Persona 4 devil nurse
Persona didn't show it.

I don't think matthewmatosis is a good essayist at all, he basically just rambles. His videos are more akin to reviews than essays.
I mean you're right in that you can't discuss every single aspect of a game in great depth in a single ten-minute video, but that's the point. You don't do an essay on every single aspect of a game, or any piece of media. That's why Campster's essays are good: they usually focus on specific themes or design elements, and they're still very holistic.
If you read an essay on a film, or any piece of art, it's got a thesis: it's about deep-diving on limited aspects of a work, rather than trying to cover everything. I think the same applies to video essays.

She's easily the worst person in the game. Assuming she's doing shit with the wife then she's actively sexually abusing a vulnerable adult she has a responsibility of care over. What she did to the husband isn't much better assuming he's been effected by the events and wasn't just always a jerk.
