Every Resident Evil's First Zombie...

New vid. I look back at the last 30 years of playing Resident Evil games & attempt to rank every first encounter. All of them. Along the way, I remember what it was like playing each game. Where I was. Who I was with. I hope you have a moment to remember with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QeB...
Tough fuckin week. I hope you are doing well.

Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"

Fav games of '25. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 felt like virtual tourism, vacationing in a faraway land. Silent Hill f captures, for me, the spirit of the original Team Silent games if not the moment-to-moment gameplay. Please play The Hundred Line. I don't have much to add re Clair Obscur. It's good.

Top 4 games not released in 2025 that I played in 2025. Lies of P, as many have said, is the best soulslike not by From. SF6 is my pick for best current fighting game. 1000xRESIST is a must play if you enjoy story-based games. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes reignited my love for puzzle games.

Top TV picks for 2025. Andor, The Pitt, and Adolescence all deserve their critical acclaim. Task was the biggest surprise for me -- I think I enjoyed it even more than Mare of Easttown. Have not seen Pluribus. The American Revolution nearly made the list (I would maybe swap it out for The Pitt).

Top four flicks 2025. A lot has been written about Weapons and One Battle After Another. Don't have a lot to add. Predators was a revealing, layered essay that I wrestled with long after viewing. Train Dreams is a haunting journey through the myth of America. Strongly recommend both.

Owe Train Dreams an apology. I was not really familiar with its game.

Thanks for the kind words 😀
So I just finished watching this video and… you know sometimes one of the best YT videos of the year just happen to show up right at the very end.
This is one such case.

Hey friends, last bump for this video. It did not perform very well (even by my standards), which is a shame because I think it turned out pretty well. Any shares would be appreciated :)

Last bump for this. It's not doing well performance-wise but fuck it. Really enjoyed making it, I think it's got some really great stuff in it, goes some places you might not expect, etc., and people would probably get a kick out of it if given a chance. Hell yeah
NEW VIDEO! The Shield is one of the greatest shows ever made... but did you know that it has a PS2 game? That said game is considered to be one of the worst ever?
Well, I played it. It's awful. It's also wildly ambitious in ways I didn't expect. Find out why in this analysis—enjoy!

This is why Kentucky Route Zero and 1000xResist are the goats
There should be more games inspired by avant-garde stage design.

I have finished recording narration on the next video essay. It is a retrospective, of sorts, on the Resident Evil games. Hoping to have it up sometime in December or early next year. :)

Random, maybe, but if you're looking for help on a video script you're cooking you should reach out to @writingongames.bsky.social. they are very thoughtful in their feedback, very affordable, and great to work with.
Like, my belief is that if you're working with someone, you want the best for them at all times. When it comes to individual client work I make my services as affordable as possible because I know how tough it is to just make shit. Sponsors, on the other hand, are hell for someone like me lol

Might get roasted for this but... I see some people annoyed by Silent Hill f's English dub. Someone mentioned that it was way too dramatic, borderline camp. I dunno though. It kind of reminds me of the original series in that way?
