That one wasn't done by me actually! My friend @lucastheenby.bsky.social worked on the Tenna vid and they did an incredible job imo

Just learned that I'm older than IShowSpeed and had a mini-existential crisis

Its not the Main Theme from FF4 Pixel Remaster YouTube video by NotJunkBezoulOST

Damn that blows.
I remember back when the Pixel Remaster for IV came out for a while it was impossible to upload music from it without an instant copyright strike, so people had to try their best to hide them

There was always a cynical part of me that just prematurely assumed that these vids are just elongated game recaps with opinions sprinkled here and there, but like no these are ACTUAL Retrospectives and analysis, and the quality of them is actually insane like how the hell

Recently been watching through Andrew Bluett's Final Fantasy Retrospectives for the first time.
I held out on these for a WHILE mostly due to envy, I was working on my FF 1 and 2 vids at the same time they were, and mine didn't get any views.
Finally seeing these now, WOW was I missing out

They should do that if they ever make a Mega Man Rhythm game

Like Biohazard still to this day goes by "Resident Evil" more often than not despite never being the intended title, and sounding cheesy as all hell. But the name is just way too iconic to give up at this point, and millions have grown to love it

Yakuza Like A Dragon cover

Honestly looking back, I kinda feel like RGG would've been better off just keeping Like A Dragon as "Yakuza" in the west.
Like, there are a TON of game series with different names between regions, and the weird way they went about it kinda just created brand confusion more than anything

I mean, with the way things are looking it'll probably be going up pretty soon so at least you got that taken care of before that lol

I do get that critique, but also in a way I kinda feel like that’s part of the point. Tetra pretty clearly seems distraught by that whole ordeal, and in the end the game shows her abandoning her role as Zelda as being the correct thing, breaking away from the chains of the old world

That feeling when you finish watching a 1 hour long video essay and you come away disagreeing with almost every single point it made

It's really cool getting to just run around and vibe in it, but actually trying to make progress is kind of a giant pain due to how clearly unfinished it is

The scariest monster from the Resident Evil 1.5 beta

You sound really great!!

There will always be a part of my brain that will want to play AS MANY VIDEO GAMES AS POSSIBLE, YOU HAVE TO MEDIA MAX AS MUCH AS YOU CAN BEFORE YOU DIE!!!
But honestly right now I kinda just wanna do what's the most fun for me, which with how real life's been going I think is kinda more important

Tried to Start the Xbox Ninja Gaiden finally, but something about having to get into something new just kinda makes me feel tired for some reason, yet I've just finished my forth replay of RE1 this year and I still had a blast going through that

For some reason lately I've just NOT been in the mood to play games I've never played for the first time before, and instead just wanting to and having more fun replaying stuff I've already beat in the past.

That bit was my idea lmao
Thank you so much for the compliment! Glad at least a few people got it

D4 is such a fantastic channel, because who else is out there dropping a perfectly timed House in Fata Morgana bit into a video on Banjo-Kazooie

Shaking my head while listening to Dragon Quest music so people know I don’t agree with Koichi Sugiyama’s political views

Worked on this vid on Bamblo Kablooie!

Click Clock Wood: The Best AND Worst 3D Platforming Level YouTube video by Designing For

ok the default thumbnail was really funny so I kept it

The philosophy behind 3D platforming levels has changed since its inception. Back in the day, Banjo-Kazooie's Click Clock Wood was one of the best. Now... it's complicated, and I wanna talk about that complication in full.

I sometimes see people saying that the newer RE games and DMC5 looking so realistic is bad, but like the older games in those series WERE also aiming for realism, they were just more abstract because the technology wasn't quite there yet

MGS2 Swimming

CBFD Swimming

The Swimming sections in Metal Gear Solid 2 have always given me the EXACT same vibe as the ones from Conker's Bad Fur Day, and I could never place my finger on exactly why that is

PS1 Version also better

In the western version she’s a bad Earthbound Beginnings

Watchmojo top 10 video where the voice over narrator suddenly gains consciousness around halfway through and tries to desperately hint at cries for help while still following the script in order to not get caught

"My father, he's really good at Puff-Puff."

I'm sure there was at least one kid in Japan who had this as their gay awakening

Played all of these except RE2 Remake which I REALLY wanna get around to soon

Is Pokémon Legends: Z-A the Mega Evolution of Pokémon? YouTube video by AurumAlex

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is disappointingly vacuous, caring neither for its Pokémon, nor its people, nor the city it's set in.

Even its prized combat can't escape the clutches of Pokémon's ideological stagnation.
