I talk about video games the way your high school English teacher talked about books. Some of my favorites include Night in the Woods, Disco Elysium, The Witcher 3, Dragon Age, and the Soulsborne series. You can find video essays, content, and news for all of those games and others I like here on this channel!

The Narrative and Thematic Importance of Godwyn's Death in Elden Ring
Yesterday I just found out that NITW had a mobile version so I played it and I discovered this first playthrough. I also hung out with Bea for all three hangouts. I also found all three pentagrams.
I’d like to believe that they have the glimmer. They deserve to have it.
There was something bothering me about the cult's story when they found the hole in the mine, that they found it "twenty years back or so." With Mae also being twenty, could that contribute to the theory that she has the glimmer? That she may have been born when the Black Goat was discovered?
NITW helped me through the worst breakdown of my life earlier in my 20’s and was exactly what I needed at that time. It’s sad to hear that Revenant Hill won’t be made, but I still am beyond thankful to the creators for making such a beautiful, funny and heartwarming story. I do truly hope they find peace from stepping away
I wonder what the black goat said to Mae. I’d like to hear everyone’s theories.
I mean, to be fair growing up I had neighbors that I never knew their first names... so...
the next part will be Life is Xmen 😂
Good video though I'd suggest being a bit more sensitive regarding spoilers for some things that seemed like it.
The endings where James presumably raises laura and in water i feel are the most thematically correct, depending on your perspective. James can either decide he truly has nothing without mary, or he can decide to honor her legacy by adopting laura
I love how the game is juuuuuuuust different enough from our world to let the player know it's NOT our world exactly. One wonders if the NitW universe has Church of the Coalescence evangelicals ruining everything for them, or if they're spared that. Okay the art for Love in the Woods is adorable though. But Mae should definitely be more round, she specifically bemoans the fact that she's chubby in NitW.
The more we look for him, the more we see he isn’t there. And the more we’re lead to feel it’s wrong.
Excellent analysis as always
What do you mean by "you can't respond to her statements as they're treated as absolute"? I mostly had to swerve through dialog choices just to keep listening to her, as most of ny options were literals "fuck off"
As a real and in game fascist, it was only the "completitionist" in ny that drove me to pursue this nonsense quest. As a real life (alcoholic) detective, I played the game folowing my own paradigms. With that said, I was so happy to see that my open minded, fantastic realist-in game persona led me to this. It's probably the most important part of the story, and the Phasmid's insights into the pale are the most lasting.
Hi, loved the video! I took a look at Kingdom Hearts in the Nintendo Switch store, and it seems they only have grouped versions of the games, like “Kingdom Hearts 1.5-2.5” (no “Kingdom Hearts 1.”) Which version did you play with your daughter? I’m looking forward a game I can play with my 7 year old son and this looked fun!
Elden Ring DLC...learned early that there's a way to cheese MOST of the trash mobs and several bosses! ancient dragon's lighting or somethin >.> fully charged, it straight shreds most bosses! can't wait to see what 2025 brings! o7
Oh yeah, ancient dragon lightning is NUTS! Very powerful spell. I cheesed bosses quite a few times myself - had to break out the Pizza Cutter to take down Radahn xD Super stoked for 2025!
Have you ever played: Return of the Obra Dinn, Roadwaden, Frostpunk, The Stanley Parable, and the Beginners Guide? If you haven't, these are all my favourite single player games; so I'm interested too see if you've played any. Premature thanks if you decide to respond to this comment.
Great video! I don't game much myself, but I could listen to you talk about it all day! Also if your little Owlet is up for it, I'd love to hear her take, too! :D
Just finished the game this evening. Overall I very much enjoyed it. I still feel like it peaked with LiS2 though, one of the only games that's stayed with me years after the first playthrough. Definitely an improvement over True Colours which felt like a bit of a let down - although enjoyable in it's own right too.
*whispers into the aether* "Play Goodbye Volcano High..."
Goddamn if this game wasn’t easier to get through emotionally before I had a wife 🥲
So Laura was just chilling on some moldy piano waiting to scare us? I never really understood that? Like what is she doing there? Doesn't the place smell sickening?
wait if Max had to remove the parts of Safi from everyone including herself, then what was the part of Safi that was within Max?
This made me cry. Thank you for your story, and your message. <3
Your avatar is a cat. You are Eide. JUST ADMIT IT ALREADY
Fan game EXCUSE ME????
i totally forgot about love in the woods! ill have to check that out
I always look forward to your videos--they're a real bright spot after a long week!
Making me all misty-eyed and shit ;-;
Did you ever get the Collectors Limited Run edition?
What’s the difference?
I'm suprised you return to the free demo or short game in a sense
The saddest thing about Bruce's story for me is that I think Pastor K made him leave. If she hadn't been pushing so hard for him, getting a spotlight put on him by the town council, making him feel guilty if things didn't go right for her afterward, he probably would've just bummed around without any issues. But Pastor K _had_ to feel like she was doing the right thing, so she kept bringing him into things that he wanted nothing to do with. He probably would've survived winter just fine, too.
Thank you for the trigger warning in the middle of your video. It meant a lot to me.
Can someone explain, why there were flowers in the shape of her body at the crime scene? This didn't make much sense to me. Also the plot line with the cop felt rushed.
The leave ending doesn’t make sense. I can’t imagine any 8 year old girl wanting to leave with a man that killed her best friend. Also how awkward would it be when they got back to the car with Mary’s body laying on the back seat. Truth is any decent human being in James situation would either kill himself or turn himself in. Has to be the in water ending in my opinion
In sickness or in health is what the game show host says at the end in the elevator. Very creepy
I got In Water ending on my first blind play through💀
same haha
Played Demo and it really struck me. Cool ambiance. Vibe. Definitely interested in the whole thing.
Wich one is the second ending bc i jward this game has 2 ending
Happy Longest Night everyone
OMG, I had no clue that Cuno could finish out the game as your partner in Kim’s place! And my jaw dropped when you said he could come back with Harry to Precinct 41 as a junior detective, that’s amazing. In my play through, Kim didn’t get injured, and I would have been very sad not to get the picture of the phasmid, so I’m glad that I played the way I did. But, I kind of need to see all of this Cuno gameplay, so I guess I’m going to need to replay the game sooner than I thought 😂 I hope you are able to leave teaching soon; I left after the 21/22 school year and it was the best decision I could have made, even though it was a risk. I’ll definitely check out your Patreon to see how I can help!
When I found out about the Cuno ending, it blew my mind as well! It's definitely not something I'd have ever wanted on my first playthrough because of all the downsides, but it's definitely worth checking out sometime! His final rant to the Vicquemare is really is hilarious. And thanks so much for supporting the Patreon! I really appreciate it! Here's hoping 2025 is the year I'll be able to leave teaching behind. There are days I love it, but it sure is difficult. I'm glad you were able to and that it's worked out well for you!
Binge watching these after missing it due to a Christmas party
