The marriage of story & action in Kingdom Come Deliverance
I had fun making this, but public reaction has been very "meh", so it's on the house.
Enjoy!

The quiz #8 - New video incoming!
I knew this would happen - just a short while after writing about why I don't make videos anymore, I played a new game, got an idea, and finished a script I'm happy with.
So, quiz time if you want to guess the game (although I already posted it on twitter) and if you want to guess the idea behind the video. Hint: it's not abou...

In 2015 I took a small promotion & job relocation. I went from highly rewarding and personally fulfilling job in education, to a very similar job with a little more money but in a hostile work environment. A place where I had little impact and was constantly shit on by my new coworkers.
To fill the gap, I started making vi...

This video was controversial. I love that. It started huge discussions on reddit. But I get that it might not be everyone's cup of tea. So if you want, contact me by email or message here, and I'll refund your money, no hurt feelings, no questions asked. I think maybe you can also set up a pause for your donations and you won't ...

Game Array and I have done another podcast, if you're into that sort of thing.
Currently working on a Skyrim video (mentioned towards the end of the podcast) while the artist works on my Nethack video. Stay tuned for those.

I love Baldur’s Gate 2, and that’s not just the nostalgia speaking. It’s a game I still enjoy playing - the same can’t be said for the two Bioware Dungeons & Dragons games that came immediately before and after it.
I never finished the first Baldur’s Gate, I barely even started it. From the beginning, it lacked c...

The first Mass Effect starts much closer to what I talked about in my video, while later games started to break away from worldbuilding in favor of making things more convenient for the player. Let’s break it down.
1. Characters with their own motivations.

Back in the 90s I used to read gaming magazines in newsagents without buying them. Well, I say read but mostly I just looked at the pictures and the score they gave a game. If it was in those magazines back then I wouldn’t have given a second thought to Unreal World. Despite a recent graphical update the game still lo...

This will go live in 24 hours, but you fantastic people get it early. I may still tweak the music a little bit, let me know if it's too much, too little , or should be removed entirely.

Guess the game, unless you've been stalking me on reddit and already know :)

Mild spoilers for the first of five cases in the video game Sherlock Crimes & Punishments, a game I feel is not really worth playing anyway.
