Mostly review media. Some shitposting videos. I upload on the weekends mainly.
You can buy my book, Dullahan-Samhradh here. www.amazon.com/Dullahan-Samhradh-WPM/dp/B0CVW2M8G6
It's a dark fantasy set in Ireland and it's about a young girl who hires a man and a talking head to find her father while there's a war going on. Has a lot of Irish mythology in it.

Human Revolution is not a good Deus Ex game or even a good game.
This video covers Deus Ex Human Revolution and why I think it doesn't live up to the name of Deus Ex. It contains full spoilers, so be advised. It was just a serious downgrade, but I thought a few things were done well.

Introducing each title a little along with the author. I think that'll be better and give people an idea of what's ahead. The H8 Spree video I posted is the exact same as the one on Odysee.

Wolf Hall and the subversion and destruction of truth

In this video I talk about Wolf Hall and A man for all seasons. And focus mostly on the portrayal of Thomas More and why I think the author portrayed him negatively in Wolf Hall. I like More, despite his faults, and think he was unfairly portrayed here. It's a bit scatter-brained but hopefully somewhat coherent.

A good girl whose words are sincere and respects men. He came to fulfill a promise to his grandmother that if one of them died, there would likely be no one to mourn.
"i spent praxis points to go invisible to shoot her" LMAO
It was an acceptable prequel for early 2010 standards Today it would be platinum just because of all the trash we get
A note on Augs being forced in jobs. It is brought up a bit by a couple of NPCs. Malik tells you pilots are expected to have neural augs as a standard when you talk to her. A few other people mention it in subtle ways too or in newspapers/terminals. It's not a big thing directly, but it comes up.
I forgot about Malik. That's a good point. I still think it should have been given a stronger focus considering the city is about to erupt.
this is rich and a wrong way to try and get views
This is the worst take in the history of the internet.
Prequels aren't good: My Brother in Christ, have you played MGS3?
Haven't played any of those, but I stand by saying prequels are typically limiting.
Oh you’re retarded
I tend not to care about story in video games so I'm fine with prequels. Movies are for story, games are for gameplay.
I think games can and have done both well. I don't think they have to be exclusive.
delete this video
The first 2 original have terrible graphics, it's unplayable. This and MD are way better.
Calling it not a good Deus Ex game is pretty accurate. Calling it a terrible game overall is a bit of a stretch. Remember original Deus Ex is probably in the top 3 PC games ever made. You could say the same things about Skyrim if you analyse it in comparison to Morrowind, it only took away features, and only really added better graphics. It doesn't mean Skyrim was not a good game. It just wasnt the best game
It is true that living up to the original is a tall order. However, I think the comparison is fine to make because they're the ones who wanted to do a Deus Ex game. Drawing upon that built in audience and building from that world gave them lots of free publicity and hype. I don't know what I would say they did as good or better than the first. Minus things like graphics.
HR was a good console game, but not the most brilliant Immersive SIM. It really was limited by it's graphics, in that the studio was forced to focus on visuals instead of gameplay
I love this game. I guess the culprit, as usual, is comparing something to another entry( as I’ve never played the first Deus Ex, I don’t have anything to compare it to).
The first is dated for sure. Graphics, lighting, and some other issues, but I think it's worth your time to check out. I haven't played too many older games and picked it up easy enough.
Vampire Hunter D: Beyond Journey's End😭
JFS... Wth i am listening to? first, a FRIEND, not a sibling... and second, the "bookie" is doing it oh-so willingly... besides, if it was the army of literal cyberware reapers that wouldn't do any of this, she would be gone by now... and yes, im talking about Cyberpunk 2077... more fleshed out than this, despite the buggy launch...
"A prequel is inherently less interesting because you know what has to happen and what cannot" Interesting idea came to me just now, making a prequel that is actually an alt timeline that subverts all expectations that could be followed up with an entirely new game/film that is effected by this change. I think that could be super interesting, noted for long term plans. 😅
Something with an alt timeline could be interesting. I don't really know anything out right now that has followed through with something like that, but I think it could be done.
to be honest this is pretty much what happened with human revolution, things are so removed from core DX that they just did whatever they wanted, and mankind divided seemed to go even further in that direction
Things are so off in Mankind Divided.
Thanks for your honesty. I agree with you. I have no respect for Capote at all. Nothing about him or his life is admirable. His book should no longer be published, not worth reading. Capote was a twisted, evil, ugly man inside and out. Yet, he was celebrated by our society. You’re right pure bs! Yes, he had a poor childhood, many people did. Then seek God and seek healing. Justice was done with the killers of the family.
Very thorough and honest reviews. Always enjoy your thoughts on indie literature.
As ever, a deep and interesting analysis of all the reviewed texts, and thank you for your thoughtful review of The Horror Beneath and my yarn in Aegeon 10, glad you liked them.
Alvaro, Knight of the Brothels. Haha, I thought you'd like his appearance in this one. Thanks for the review of The Life Feast, WPM, and I'm glad you enjoyed the book.
I forgot to mention this in the video, but here's a teaser trailer for a short film. These are good guys and I'll be reviewing the movie once it comes out. ruclips.net/video/EY56wpXhiNU/видео.html
Just a thought: you should do a Goodreads list of all the books you recommend on your trough videos. That would make it really easy for people to find.
@@myNTlife That's a good idea. I'll get on that.
Wolfsheild has done good stuff in the past so this one is a must watch. Also I want to get to the Horror Beneath and the new Aegeon but this year has been pretty disastrous and I am way behind on all my reading.
This scene I got me in so many feels love this type of ending 🥰😊👍❤️
This is my favourite scene too
I find it concerning that there is so much male-on-male rape in supposedly "right-wing" fiction.

I also find it annoying that word counts are hard to find. Page counts vary, sometimes wildly, depending on the format. Word counts are exact.
You never had me with this, but I couldn't make it past "They snuck in the gays by adding in DLC to The Last of Us." Pathetic and weak minded bigotry. Cry harder.
lol, I did the same thing with Storm Light Archive. I like Brandon as a person and business owner. So, I don’t mind giving him some money for books I was hoping to enjoy. Also, what’s up with the random homophobic statements??? Weird.
watching further, it’s good to know that a majority of my complaints about Storm Light are also applicable to Mist born. Glad to know I shouldn’t touch anything else this man makes.
This isnt funny.
I genuinely don’t understand “they are very long books” The first mistborn is about 20 pages longer than twice the sorcerers stone. The sorcerers stone is a children’s book. I don’t understand how a little bit longer than double a children’s book is some how a very long book. Brandon’s storm light archive books are big books, the wheel of time books are big books, a song of ice and fire books are big books. The mistborn books are books an adult could finish in a weekend they had free. What do you consider a normal sized book?
I usually read sci fi (Hyperion, Dune, Children of Time, The Reality Dysfunction, Remembrance of Earth’s Past, and classics from Arthur C Clark, Asimov etc). One day, 2 years ago I made a decision to diversify myself a bit into fantasy and started with Mistborn. I thought it was a very easy read compared to what I read usually, which I found very refreshing. And I loved the story, it was fantastic. It was an eye opener to fantasy for me. Now 2 years later I finished the Mistborn Trilogy, I am half way the Wheel of Time, half way the Stormlight Archive, half way the Farseer trilogy and half way the The Bloodsworn Saga. Now fantasy has taken up half of my reading time :-)
This was a cathartic video for me. I have a friend who's read a couple books on my recommendation, so I repaid the favor by reading these. What a waste. The writing was so shallow, the characters so insufferable, and the wasted potential unforgivable. There was a chance we'd get in to this world being like Black Sun, real fantasy post-apoc. We could have done low-level stories instead of it being another 'my Mary-Sue saves the world' story. I even gave the second book a shot, hoping it wouldn't be about Vin, that maybe she'd be a background character at best so we could move on... But no.
A series where you just shit on books is kinda lame.
I can agree that it's worse to just put out hate reviews, but I do mostly review indie books.
You should read The Wheel of Time. Sounds like it's exactly what you would love
Stopped reading the first book a couple hundred pages in.
Mistborn is fine. Just a bit young-adult fantasy tho. Has good moments. First was good. Second probably ok. Third was a bit too much but closed the story well I suppose.
Ah, so you're a moron. Gotcha.
Hey, a mistborn fan here! I found your opinion interesting and let's say you're a manace to read the books while hating the story. I found this series as a diamond because of the dark atmosphere and logical magic system. Harry Potter and any other fantasy is just silly that you make up some spell that is overpowered and never defined where is the limit. I found the ideas almost perceftly polished like the need for obligators and the horrifying inquisitors. A haven't watched the full video just the first book part because it's far better then the next two and I 've heard every point of yours. I loved Kelsier because he was everything that nobody had in the time: hope, strength, laughter, trust, confidence and the glimpse of a better word what his wife told him. He was selfish and arrogant but these are traits of a great rebellion too. Not a good person, insane person but a great character. Vin was written really well. I'm a man and you are too and Brandon is too so who we are to tell what a teenage girl feel in such bad times as those. What I found dumb is the mission of terrismen's. Sazed was great but what do you expect from the past in dark times. They should've get away from sight and protect their kind. Anyways the point of the book was to show that the greatest people have doubts too what more they have the biggest doubts. And this is what you don't get from movies and Hollywood shows. Doubt is important and natural. Thanks for reading my comment!
Hats off to you for making it through the whole trilogy; this really sounds like garbage. People are really eager to recommend Sanderson to you when they find out that you enjoy fantasy at least somewhat. But I could just never bring myself to care because all the claptrap about the greatness of his "magic systems" is just not my flavor of autism, and a glance at his writing revealed it as way too dull for me to trudge trough hundreds of pages of it.
Imagine deciding that you hate something without trying it just because others say it's good. So contrarian of you
@@MrImportantGuy Cry me a river. I'm afraid you care more about my opinion being "contrarian" than I do.
@@someobserver844 Nobody cares about your contrarian opinion, merely that you feel the need to comment like you're enlightened and superior to other people because you think the books they like are shit. There was zero substance or critique to what you said. Quit being a vapid dick and let people have their fun 🙄
I read the first book, and thought it was good. Dragged in the middle, but I liked it. A few years ago Sanderson put out a YT video about the ongoing Mistborn screen adaptation. And he goes on and on about how, "sure I had a female main character but that was it, and that in itself is a harmful stereotype. Now I have these beta readers who are helping to correct that, and help me do better, and not think bad thoughts etc..." It was like a hostage video. It was pathetic. BTW I love your outro clip, it cracks me up every time.
Got to agree with you here. Not my thing. I tried to read the first one and was bored to tears. Such a slog. I DNF’d about halfway.
It was a huge disappointment compared to the 1st deus ex, but still a good game compared to its competition. I had fun with it anyway.
"ancestors" the anglo thinks he descends from Iberian conquerors
The original passport bros
I feel like the Templars got portrayed in a negative light had to do with the people behind the second game wanting to make luddites and people who have become wary of technology seem more unreasonable and backwards. Even though the Deus Ex series (Invisible War included) are just full of events that warrant the apprehension for these things. Even if you don't look at the Templars as an example; they wrote Tong regretting his decisions or the role he played in the first game. Why? Tong as a character was not 'that' stupid. There's a reason why people who played the original game still debate on the endings, and why they chose the endings they did to this day. Meanwhile, in Invisible War; all the endings just feel like bad ones.
Yeah, Tong's portrayal here was such a let down compared to the first.
She is the main heroine in 1985 movies, the hair, the eyes. Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust is the prequel for the 1985 version, crazy right?
Oh god, I couldn´t even bear playing beyond the inclinator. I found perfection in the first title and IW betrayed then all the virtues. Small levels, so limited skills and character developement, soundtrack......
I did like the Kidney Thieves music, but overall felt the soundtrack was lacking.
@@whitepillmedia the only memorable track for me is "Arcology Vol 1", perfect to calm down after work. I wanted to at least like the OST, even that they didn´t allow me.
@@Nodux359 Arcology Vol 1 is nice.
Everyone hated it when it came out. In hindsight, we didn't understand how bad it is.
based and templar pilled. consoles and their limitations were the bane for pc games of that time.
