@coolboymew in all that time he wasted he could have made something of his own. That's the YouTube grift i guess maybe he can buy some rogaine with that ad revenue
@MischievousTomato @coolboymew i dont have a problem with people enjoying them or anything but I think they are kinda junk food entertainment they have little to no artistic value and the idea of a video essay being the most significant thing you've ever created is pathetic

Sweet man

Call the police

But really, this is sheer excess. I like the Majora's Mask 3D essay dude because he knows how to keep it low

@coolboymew @MischievousTomato @BigTony I'm personally reminded of those videos where the dude spends like 6 hours talking about elder scrolls games. I like learning about all of the lore and shit, it's pretty cool. I don't like the games much but the lore I'm all there for, so listening to someone else talk about it is cool. For this video I guess the reason to watch it would be if you don't want to play the game because it's like 50+ hours or whatever but you're still interested in it, so watching a very detailed explanation that's much shorter than that could be interesting. I'll probably never play Chrono Cross but I'd be down to watch a 5 hour video about it (in chunks of course).

When it's a game you have already played, it can be kind of nice too since you get someone else's perspective and it almost makes the game fresh for you again. If you really loved a game it can help a little with that post-game depression solely because it's more content about the game.
