What I especially love about his video is just that you use MY Revan face in the gameplay. In my mind, this is exactly what he looks like. All kinds of things about this video are great, but this is icing on the cake. :)

Yeah space marine 2 came out and I never went back to finish this game thank god a friend let me borrow it and I didn’t have to pay for it. Like it’s not a terrible game but it’s also boring as hell after the first couple hours repetitive and nothing really interesting ever happens

lol, is that legal? FYI: I use a digital card that's lockable/temporary - look into if your bank offers this 👍

Plays The Thing, Your content is fire, let's collab, bro!

Is it any good?

Wich is better though? Dota 2 does not have Yuumi, Game Over

I genuinely cannot comprehend how The Last Jedi got greenlit

Dota 2 es better as a game, you can see it at professional level, all those incredible epic games. Riot is superior as a tournament organizer, community support, marketing the game. Valve owns Steam, a money printing machine, the reason why they are so lazy making games and promoting them. Do you remember any big marketing for Half Life Alyx? If it sell well, it's ok if not it's ok aswell, while they owns Steam, everything is ok. But Riot dont have that cash machine, for that reason, they need to market their games, made them as accessible as possible, friendly and cute, don't forget that, cuteness sell a lot.

this comment is by no means factual this is purely how i feel but he feels fake and just boring to me. What he says sounds deep but doesn't ever really hit it feels improper i think the best way to sum how i feel is his art is just plain and easy wich is okay but i don't think that "inside is deep" or says anything new or complex

well thought and told (or maybe shown also ;)

Meanwhile, Japan has been making dramatic shows about chess, shogi, go, mahjong and even rock/paper/scissors for years…😂. (loved the video essay btw)

Okay okay, very interesting… i feel for the point, very well put and beautiful vid,, there’s a FD Signifyer video that makes a similar point, that Burnham is portraying something next to that void, he feels like a puppet or a sock on a hand of white culture comedy. He’e a marter of his own niche traditions, a fallen statue. He wants to bring it down and show the corruption of our ego. Its a performance. And it can become its own critizism.

you took the worst exemple , rey is talking to kylo after the cave scene , she's sharing her insecurity not with the viewers but with the vilain

I felt this too when comparing dragon knight and Garen. Both are the beginner friendly simple characters. DK has abilities (2 in total btw) as fun as the heat death of the universe and that you can barely use due to mana cost and CD while Garen has multiple satisfying abilities to use, combos, and more interactive passives. Same for Jakiro vs Brand, Jakiro's E is a joke with how underwhelming it feels. Same with Luna vs Sivir. In general Dota passives are incredibly strong compared to how boring they feel to play. So much of the power budget went into items that you often aren't playing a hero at all in Dota, just a vessel for items. No one would want to play DK without Blinking Dagger, BKB or Aghanim's Shard. It just feels terrible, like you're playing half a hero. League is about empowering champions and the innate fantasy they embody, so items just make you stronger instead of adding new dimensions to your kit, since you already have a complete kit that feels fun to play.

This is such an excellent essay, in craft as well as in substance. the efficiency with which you get right to the meat of the matter was much appreciated. Please god, deliver us from the line, "so let's get into it." I think the way you break down the three sentences at 12:15 does an amazing job of establishing your point. Especially the third sentence, which tends to be the mistake I often make in writing. Hemingway would slap the adjectives out of my big dumb hands if he saw how I abuse them. It's terrible. But I was recently listening to a podcast where Ira Glass (of This American Life) was talking about the craft of storytelling. Ira's cardinal rule is that, with each new turn of events, we must take a moment to describe its effect on the storyteller. Otherwise, it's not a proper human story, just a bunch of events. This gets back to the notion of how prose differs from visual storytelling. What filmmakers, and film fans, take for granted is how effortlessly a film can convey the feelings of the characters, because the actor is right there communicating everything purely with their body. But without the visual cue of the human performance, prose needs to stop and let the audience into the emotional experience. A book or a radio show couldn't just tell the audience what happens. It needs to take the time to plumb the character's inner life. Books can effortlessly go back and forth in time the way our minds do. Terry Pratchett often drops out of the narrative to talk about what the events mean to the character, how they challenge or confirm someone's worldview. While movies and television get to just let the audience infer it, with the help of the actor's performance. Take the epic moment in Mandalorian where Jin Darrin reaches for that lever, and finds the knob missing. Of course, had this been a book, the line could be, "He reached for the lever. The knob was missing." And that could break the chapter. But sooner or later, the book would have to address what effect that had on him. Not explain it, but tell the story of it. And probably, the book would have to hint at the shitstorm of emotions going on under inside that bucket he wears on his head. But the show just needs a pregnant pause, because so much can be conveyed just through the actor's body language, even without his face. In fact, had Pedro Pascal not been wearing a helmet in that scene, my guess is that his face would have been absolutely blank regardless. Anyway, not to beat a dead horse, this gets back to the mirror scene in The Last Jedi. I still think you're mistaken here. Or at least, I don't understand what you think about it is telling rather than showing. She speaks of what the experience meant to her, but it only touches the surface of what was happening. Rian Johnson is a virtuoso filmmaker. He doesn't make mistakes, he makes choices, good or bad. He absolutely knows not to explain what you're seeing. If it seems like he's doing so, it's for the sake of misdirection. Rey's monologue isn't there to explain the cave scene to the audience. It's not there to convey exposition but to convey her biased conclusion. It sets up the next chapter in the story, where she thinks she has nothing more to learn from Luke, that the answers she was searching for weren't there. That the answer she's searching for, the ally she needs, is Kylo. This ties together with Luke explaining his intentions to Yoda. He doesn't announce that he's going to burn down the Jedi Temple for the sake of the audience. He's saying it to outrage Yoda. He wants to throw mud in the face of his old teacher, and the whole Jedi ethos that he feels ultimately let him down. He's having a temper tantrum. And we expect Yoda to beg and plead, but he just chuckles, and states the film's whole theme, "Failure is the best teacher." That's also the lesson Rey needs to learn. Her voice-over monologue to Kylo shows us that she thinks her time with Luke was a failure. But she has still to learn from it. In fact, every complaint I've heard about this film, the character choices, the film choices, seem to miss this theme, the theme of failure being an unavoidable part of life, and something we can learn from. Without Rey's monologue, the effect the mirror scene had on her would have been too vague. Maybe not for a piece of arthouse film, but definitely for a Star Wars film. There's a dot or two that needed connecting between the cave and her decision to abandon Luke. Was it over-explained? Perhaps. But this itself tells you something about Rey. She's using a lot of words to make the scene mean what she wants it to mean, when really, her interpretation is a bit of a reach. I think there's a lot of bias against this film because it's so unlike any other Star Wars film. But to my mind, that's the best thing about it. It's my favorite since I saw the first one back in '77, at the tender age of six. Maybe I'm biased, maybe I needed an ending for Luke Skywalker that dug a little deeper than Return of the Jedi, which I always felt was a bit cheap. Personally, I never bought Vader's sudden and complete reversal. I found Luke's attempts at persuasion to be weak at best. But that's another argument, perhaps for another time.

I'm curious what you think Rey's cave scene meant, what it is that her voice-over summed up. To take your critique as you present it, you seem to think that narration or dialog reflection is always bad. I don't think you understand what "show, don't tell" actually means. It doesn't mean that characters shouldn't talk about their actions.

I hope you share your input on other Star Wars shows, Plays. I'm slowly learning what make for more interesting stories and characters, and your perspective is well constructed. As well as your videos!

*promo sm*

I just finished watching The Creator, and it reminded me of this video.

Any chance you will share your take on Jedi Survivor?

I think this is a great video, but I have to disagree with you on two counts. First, Ciri is a fascinating character in the books and games, as interesting or more than Geralt at times. Her three way pull between her duty as heir to her biological father, her inheritance of the powers of Lara Dorren, and her desire to follow in the footsteps of her adoptive father makes for some great character conflict and philosophical debate between duty and desire. Second, I do think Geralt genuinely wants to be neutral and uncaring. It’s what a Witcher is “supposed” to be, and he knows his life would be easier if he just took the coin and moved on. Preferring not to choose between two evils isn’t a lie he tells himself, it’s a mantra he repeats to try and lessen his own pain. But the fact is that he’s ultimately incapable of choosing the easier path, and does step in to commit acts of violence in the name of the “lesser evil”, and I think he both loves and hates himself for it. Geralt constantly is at odds between a desire to be a hero/ respected (see: almost naming himself “Geralt Roger Eric du Haute-Bellegarde”) and his perpetual self-hatred

2:07 "can you feel that?" In this example I actually can't feel it at all. It's just a bigger auto-attack with a slight thud added to it. The entire arrow passes through the champion and then disappears. Then the explosions happen and the enemy teleports a short distance after which it spazzes into the wall. It looks weird and is especially obvious in the 2:23 slow-mo. It doesnt look like something is actually being pushed but is instead lagged into the wall. Audio wise I can barely tell the difference between the auto and the condemn(chain sound?). Meanwhile the shackle has clear: fire, travel, hit, connect sounds (rope creaking when attaching to something) It's a game feel problem I have with league that the audio and visuals dont match with whats happening. Very obvious if you take tower hits for example. You dont actually take damage when the projectile hits you. Instead there's a delay and the damage kinda syncs with the audio the happens half a second later??? Sry for rant, good video!

Steam if they ware not a greedy company, they could use this moment of weakness of League to improve the game and maybe take the 1st spot. What is league weakness? They don't listen to players, everyone complaining that the game currently you only play for damage and 1 shots... and even one shots where you can die in 0.01seconds, in less than a blink of an eye, yet riot keeps buffing damage season after season, patch after patch and they don't really understand how their game actually works. So yees, currently League is still more popular, but if they keep going the path they are going this might turn (as long Steam also changes their mindset) Riot needs a rival that poses the possibility to steal the 1st spot... currently they are getting lazy, bad code, bugs everywhere, bad balance, while a few years back I was watching the championships and even saying that league had the potential to become a very strong presence in e-sports and as strong as football championships, but currently I don't see that anymore because the game is becoming very very very very bad...

As someone that's been playing dota since it's wc3 days, all my LOL friends say the same things: "Why is the game slower?" "Why does 1 ability take down like 3/4 of my mana?" "Why does my character feel so slow and clunky?" "How does a tp scroll work?" "Wtf did he just last hit my minion?(denying)" "Why does eating a tree heal me?" "Why are all the items activated?!?" "Why are there no bushes" "Wtf is a courier?" "Fuck this Ima go back to league" I think overall league is more "Streamlined", meaning there's not alot of things going on and you stick to your role. ADC and support bot, solo top and mid, and jungler. Dota has a more abstract approach to the game, there are "roles" but they aren't as defined as it is in lol. This makes the game generally more difficult to get into given there's a steeper learning curve to league. P.S. Rest in Peace HoN

I definitely want to see Mandalorian now.

Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One: Loaded with telling instead of showing.

I think condemn is similar to Mars spear not shackle shot

U say league devs worked REALLY hard to make champs feel satisfying to play.. Lux game model from 2009 with cringe animation says hello to you

Omg this guys real simple minded only seeing what he wants to see. He describes one of the original movie scenes positively even though the emperor is "narrating"

does Disney ever wonder why the Mandalorian was more successful than the Sequel Trilogy?

Shackleshot is like bard q more than vayne e And vayne e is more like mars spear

This specific comparison is valid but it’s still not the main reason. Everyone I know who plays Dota has Dotaed since they were a 10 years old or something taught directly by older kids in internet cafes. Now a days Dota 2 is even more layered than the original Dota albeit more comprehensive. But in this age of isolationist gaming where most people just solo Q into games , League is just way easier to get into without someone to teach you the way.

''maybe this will pay off in the future'' This hasn't aged well has it?

League has female players

You make some great points about storytelling, but i was just lost with the shit going on with Rey and skywalker. But i needed something to go on with yoda and luke, and got a kernal of wisdom...failure is the greatest teacher. The return of the jedi scene where luke is suppose to just casually swap places with his father to serve the emperor seemed corny as hell. Like jumping to the dark side is a two minute conversion. Anakin took a while to fall and was under extreme duress. The Empire killed his aunt, uncle, mentor. The dark side his mom and dad so he is going to join it. His friends are anchoring him to the light side.

League is just a monetized version of a moba and that's why it's always been boring as hell. The real long term players of league are actually re rolling accounts similar to trying to catch shiny pokemon, just trying to get free character unlocks of their preference so they don't have to pay for those heroes. This is definitive evidence of pay to play or pay to win. Dota gives you full access to all characters while league will only allow you to freely earn a small fraction of the available heroes. The differences inside and outside a match for these two games is so tremendous that they simply do not compare. Many describe league as a daycare for people who can't handle actual rts style mobas. It was always Dota's niche to begin with anyways. League was always just a poor copy cat chasing profits instead of creating a new sport. Differences in short: ruclips.net/video/I2vCUrudsEo/видео.html

League, with its sound design and visual aesthetics (not even mentioning mechanics) doesn't even hold a candle to DotA 2. You are on some soy-infused, ultra-refined, turbo-copium to even entertain the thought. Oh? You < like > X over Y? That's fine. But don't pretend like every single skill in League of Legends isn't either a carbon-copy, or the watered down, dollar-store version of the real deal. Again, it's fine if you like League of Legends, but your comparison is odd at best and downright delusional at worst. And that's a fact you can't < deny > :^)

Its the female champions nothing else XD.

My guy, cw has some bad episodes and a lot of eehhh episodes, but it's totally worth it. First, it feels like it's for kids, but it evolves and gets waaayyy better. The best of cw is probably as good or maybe better than the best of the original trilogy. It's very different, that's why it's hard to compare.

It got worse. And then we got season 3 and it fell off a cliff.

The only good thing about their Witcher like product an absolute calumnation of Sapkowski's books is the fact that they have 2 good songs White White Wolf and Toss a Coin to Your Witcher. But who the heck thinks yanissary cacophony is good for a soundtrack? No bias against Turkish folk music just yanissaries knew nothing about music

Yeah I don't agree with anything you just said. The changes were all bullshit and you know it

Finn and Rose recapping the danger of the Resistance leads to DJ hearing them and propose his help, which results in him going with them on the ship. Same for Luke telling his goal to Yoda, because it makes Yoda help him to fulfil the burning of the temple. And as for Rey expressing her feelings to Kylo, it’s an echo to the scene in Force Awakens where Kylo Ren tries to read her mind, because it’s the first scene where she openly speaks to Kylo about her own feelings and let him see what she struggles, while before she answered angrily each time Kylo tried to break her psychologically.

im sorry to say it but this video makes no sense, the only reason LoL is more popular, is because the learning curve is smaller and the marketing is bigger, thats all

RIP Writing maxim, he always had the best quotes

they shouldve just not shown us the new sequels lol

thank god the Sequels are not cannon :)

Cant wait to see your take on the Jedi Survivor sequel

and somehow palpatine returned

The worse example of telling not showing is in Attack of the Clones : “From the moment I met you, all those years ago, not a day has gone by when I haven’t thought of you. And now I’m with you again, I’m in agony. The closer I get to you the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you… I can’t breathe. I’m haunted with the kiss you should never have given me. My heart is beating, hoping that that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me…” Star Wars has always had this kind of flaw, it’s not new to the sequel trilogy.
