Video essays on video games.
They may focus on gameplay or writing, or something more abstract and fundamental.
I upload videos as frequently as I can manage. A lot of work goes into them and I'm just one guy.

Bro needs 20 minute essay to tell me why he's bad. A racist can do it in 2 seconds. 😎 Get good
I'm sorry. Not even sure how I ended up on this video, but your genuine outrage at an NPC cheating on the player character had me absolutely cracking up, man! Thanks for the laughs!
Hades has better bosses
i LOVE risk of rain 2 but I agree the secret bosses are shit
I love Grunt telling people they can't come in during the Citadel DLC.
My younger self cried when played Normandy Crash Site in the first time...
Not as bad as liam
Shut up you woke nob
Something I picked up from one line of dialogue, is that Shepard has picked up a lot of hatred and love, in his email you can see he refers to the legend of shepard ending, and you can see in one of the clips that the illusive man compares him to shepard, and tiny bits and pieces have made me think that he's the new cerberus shepard, he is jealous of shepard and understands that he was merely a replacement, if shepard hadn't left, THAT would've been him. While I can't justify everything else, I think I can pinpoint his motivations as an inferiority complex and trying to replace shepard completely or rather hating him so much that he wants to erase shepard completely, I'm sure at one point he even mentions something about the "cult of shepard" or I might be mistaking another mission.
It’s probably kept a secret from the squad for plausible deniability. They don’t get Spectre privileges like you do. Also maybe getting the mission brief so early could be some form of rationale for the Project team’s indoctrination?
Wait it even says in the wiki the only mission that doest count for killing the crew its legion loyalty mission.
I've always liked Jacob, but I also always understood the hate. The only squadmate I actively dislike is Cora.
I will not accept the pinnacle station slander😠😠😠😠😠😠 You live shall end, as the pinnacle station god curses you😠😠😠😠😠
I played Mass Effect 3 a lot back in the day, and couldn't even remember this guy name and that he was a major villain
Eh i don't love him but he's alright.
I absolutely agree with the S tier but I disagree with pretty much everything else. Also, you really hate Arrival hahaha
Pinnacle Station couldn't be ported to LE due to some really bad code. It's been too long but what I can remember it could corrupt your save. The Firewalker being three giant fans to help you fly ... means it can't have any armor do to weight.... also it sucks hard OG MAKO FOR LIFE!
Shepard has to tell the crew at some point..... unless they just don't notice the large space rock about to hit the mass relay.... or they do and are cool just sitting there quietly. I'm just really curious to know how a relay that small wipes out an entire system? I mean we know how big the Normandy is and we can see it right next to the relay........
you gotta admit though, the music is the only reason ror2 secert bosses arent the worst of all time. Chris doesn't miss
I can’t agree about Prometheus and Vulcan stations being filler. Vulcan station wasn’t too special, but it did have that humorous mech scene at the end. Prometheus station was a genuinely great set piece, I thought.
I liked his personal mission but besides that I never really cared about him as a character.
5:07 And as somebody who has over 1300 hpurs in Dead Cells and beaten the hotk over 100 times, this is exactly what you have to do. This is what you have to do with any bossfights, in any videogame. Dead cells can be beaten without upgrades and with only the classic sword. Git Gud lmao
Hades bosses are mostly pretty bad. Spawning a f ton of annoying enemies while still having to fight with the boss 4th place. Risk of rain 2 are ok. They feel like normal enemies with some buffs, except the final boss. Theyre fun, theyre balanced, but theyre not that great as bossfights. Thats all. 3rd place Enter The Gungeon Bosses are bosses. They dont summon an entire biome of enemies and are only skill based. Great boss design. 2nd place Dead Cells Bosses are perfect.(except Conjunctivius) If enemies are summoned. The boss doesnt do anything(except one, but its so easy to dodge its crazy). The bosses are unique. 1st place Idk what you were on when making this video but please dont touch that stuff again.
just rewatched and noticed you are calling dying to a single mistake frustrating💀 Homie, youre palying a roguelite
Hehe kip kip go brrrrrrrrr
Basically if you dont romance Jacob hes just not a great character that has a happy ending, but if you do he is a cheating asshole.
all of them are
Play on insanity and those adjutants are not to be fucked with.
Kelly brought Varren STI onboard so good riddance
Exactly it doesn't help that Jacob can never be Shepard's bro because that will always be Garrus FUCKING Vakarian! As Shepard said in ME3 there's no Shepard without Vakarian.
Just more reasons to leave Jacob on the bench. Except for the one where you can’t bench him.
they should've give kai leng an omni tool coated armor and katana tbh and sandevistan-like ability
cant believe kasumi like this human brick and not shepard
👎🏻 [Disliked video. Way too woke..] Token black man. Obviously, the writers didn't give a shit (which is fine), and were ordered to include him to fulfil early DEI requirements. Also, the guy making this video went full woke at the end with so many woke terms and phrases in such a short time, he completely ruined his video. 🤮
👎🏻 He's the most realistic character for today's blacks... come on, man. Also, any time someone genuinely and unironically says 'problematic' and all the other woke shit, it ruins the entire video and deserves a thumbs down, automatically.
Risk of rain 2 is my favorite game but it’s sad to see hopoo drop the ball like this with bosses ps: idk why everyone is doubting gearbox, this next dlc is clearly a huge content drop.
Holy crap the Helmet thing.
Regarding why Object Rho wasn't covered or shielded or anything... I mean, it probably WAS. But because Reaper Tech is so advanced, maybe the shielding they were using wasn't good enough. Maybe a scientist got a little careless and frustrated due to lack of progress and bypassed safety requirements (like Tali's dad did with the Geth). Remember that indoctrination isn't an instant thing. It's slow, insidious, to the point where the indoctrinated don't realize they've been indoctrinated until it's too late. All it would take is for one of the project heads to get indoctrinated and say something like "Don't worry, the object is inactive and totally safe" or something along those lines. If they DID decide to lower the shields for the sake of progress, they likely didn't feel any different afterwards and decided to play looser with restrictions, further exposing people to indoctrination. Kenson's journals further support this, as she begins asking herself questions about the Reapers, what they want and how life is permitted to continue to exists after. This is a clear sign that she's been indoctrinated, as she's lost focus on the mission and why precisely she's studying Object Rho. Misleading, misdirection and gaslighting are all part of the indoctrination process, to distract you from what's happening to you. Which then begs the question: Why didn't anyone stop it? Well, that can be answered in the Derelict Reaper quest where you secure the IFF. Indoctrination slowly destroys individuality, merging memories and ideas into a collective consciousness. Every Reaper is the compiled thoughts and memories of their extinct race, bent and twisted into serving the Catalyst, where no thought of dissent or independence is tolerated. It's likely that everyone, from scientist to soldier, all began thinking the exact same way. A close real-life example would be a social media echo chamber, where anyone who disagrees or challenges the prevailing narrative is silenced, blocked or banned. Object Rho itself was likely only on a "need to know" basis, as the majority of the galaxy was still in denial or ignorant about the Reapers, so it's entirely possible that the soldiers and guards weren't informed about it, they were just told "Protect the scientists". Finally, as to why Kenson would tell Shepard how to destroy the Alpha Relay: Remember that the Reapers are created in the image of the Leviathans, the alien race that is arrogance personified. Whether Shepard succeeded or failed to stop the Arrival, it literally did not matter to the Reapers. They are old, powerful, and see themselves as eternal. Shepard has their curiosity, but that's about it. They've lost Reapers before (the Leviathan of Dis, the Derelict in ME2 to name a few), but they've never been defeated since the dawn of their creation. Besides, the Research Lab itself was completely compromised, meaning that anyone who showed up to investigate would've been indoctrinated. What's a few more years to them? Their arrival is inevitable as is (in their minds) their victory. What we have to understand is that Shepard is the exception, not the rule. It's likely anybody else would've been indoctrinated, ESPECIALLY any Batarians who came to investigate, as indoctrination feeds on pride and it would've been all too easy to corrupt them (the Leviathan of Dis is a prime example). Basically, Reapers are arrogant. They don't care who stands in their way, they don't care why. All that matters to them is the Harvest. Anything else is nothing more than a footnote in history. Indoctrinated, Kenson saw herself as instrumental to the Reapers plans, as a vital piece that could not fail, no matter the consequences. To the Reapers, Kenson was a tool. A convenience. And would be discarded when she stopped being useful.
This was so subjective and out of context
One of the games i played the most was Thunder Brigade...i felt wright at home driving the hammer...i don't get the hate for this
Leviathan: The galaxy was an expression of our will Also leviathan: WE CAN'T STOP THOSE DANG ORGANICS MAKING ROBOTS!! ?????????????
Wild Theory what if the reapers wanted Shepard to destroy the relay because they expected Shepard to work on a way to destroy them before the Reapers even arrived. So they manipulated him into masacering a colony to either get the galaxy to kill Shepard or slow him down by puting him on trial.
WHERE IS SOUL KNIGHT IT IS A GREAT ROUGELIKE
“You travel with fascinating companions Doctor. Commander Shepard I’m honored you’ve come all this way…and…uh…” “My names Jacob Taylor.” “…Cool. Anyway.”
dead cells bosses just are *not* on the level that something like hades is. the top comment is cancerous
I remember that when playing ME2, Jacob was the character I ignored most of the time, even always taking the route via Mordins lab to get ot the CIC, skipping to walk through the armory (which reminds me that the amory was as pointless and expendable as Jacob). It's very saying that in ME3 tehy removed the armory room and all memories of Jacob with it, until he suddenly reappears. Jacob is so ouright flat as a character, he's adding nothing to the game. Even the DLC characters, which have no cutscenes outside of their recruitment and loyalty missons, contribute more to the game than Jacob. It feels like Jacob was oringally supposed to be a boring DLC side character, but was added because BioWare knew no one would spend money on him, so they added him to the main game.
valid but you be glazing the conserge like he aint even that hard😅
I didnt even get 2 missions after the reaper IFF :c
In Jacob's defense (Ugh... that left a bad taste in my mouth), with his advice on Legion, it was widely understood that the Geth are a collective intelligence and there is no other example of that kind of life in the galaxy, except for the Rachni (which were ALSO hostile to all life). The idea, or even the possibility, of two separate Geth factions likely didn't occur to ANYONE, because people would assume that all Geth think the same way, and are therefore hostile to organics by default. Hell, Legion actually DEFENDS this line of thinking, stating that assuming all alien races think alike is racist when you ask about rewriting the heretics upon entering the Geth base in ME2. And sure enough, you quite literally force all the Geth Heretics to rejoin the Geth collective, regardless of their opinion if you choose to rewrite them (which is considered the PARAGON outcome). If the Heretics had rewritten the Geth Collective, Jacob's advice to space Legion would've been the right call. We have the benefit of hindsight when evaluating that decision. Jacob does not. The only interaction the galaxy has had with the Geth up until that point was hostile. And they WERE serving the Reapers in ME1 and Legion WAS found in a derelict Reaper. When you consider all those factors, spacing Legion is a sensible option. The only thing Shepard has to go on that Legion is different is the fact that it attempted communication. This would especially true if you recruited Legion after completing Tali's Loyalty mission (which you should have by now). Shepard's not the only one in ME2 who had to deal with the consequences of reactivating Geth.
True, but given how rare it is to find a Geth intact (with Shepard saying that Tali told them that nobody had ever managed to capture one fully intact), it would be more valuable to send it to Cerberus for study... unless Shepard has already completed Overlord by that and seen how incompetently evil Cerberus gets. And from Shepard's perspective, there is the fact that Legion not only attempted to communicate but also took down a pair of Husks instead of Shepard and their squad.
Kipkip is pretty bad. I was in a stalemate, but i was playing as heretic, so I was able to stack up like 600 ruin and activate it all at once.
I'm glad beccatoria on nexus made a mod the lets you recruit legion during the og Normandy memorial mission.
