Hey, my name is Daniel Kim (or just Dan). Imma share my random thoughts out here. Some thoughts include anecdotes, critiques, and analyses about games, films, and other things that prevent me from getting a full night’s rest. Also, I am not an expert on most of the things I talk about, so feel free to correct me. I just ask that you do so nicely.

The Ethics of Hitman
Просмотров 48 тыс.6 месяцев назад
Trust me, I’m not usually this deranged. Based on my interpretations of the Hitman World of Assassination Trilogy. Hitman is all about murder. You are free to decide how a person dies, but never if they should die. I know ethics are the least of concerns when it comes to Hitman, but it doesn't stop me from asking, "Is there truly an ethical path in Hitman?" 0:00 Intro 1:50 The ICA and Agent 47 ...

The Hidden Highest Selling Game
Просмотров 313Год назад
Human Fall Flat is one of the highest selling games of all time with 45,000,000 sales (as of September 2023). Sure the game is fun, but that’s apparently more than Modern Warfare and Skyrim. (Skyrim's total sales have since been updated to 60,000,000 as of June 2023). That’s more than any XBOX or PlayStation exclusive. How did this happen and why does nobody seem to talk about the game if it’s ...

The Ethics of Sifu

Spoilers for Sifu in the video. I wanted to expand upon my thoughts about Sifu since it is still one of my favourite games of 2022.

Why Most Game Adaptations Don't Work
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.Год назад
There’s been many news about video game adaptations, but we still struggle to find many faithful adaptations. Perhaps it is because these adaptations can never be faithful. I cover games like Bioshock, Cyberpunk 2077, NieR: Automata, Elden Ring, and The Last of Us and show their issues for adaptation. Regardless, that should not stop good films or shows from being made. I also talk a bunch abou...
That's a cheeky Kendrick Lamar reference 😂 love it!
47 was made in a lab, he's technically not a human. He doesn't have a soul, he lacks morals and he was created to be an assassin. He doesn't need justification because there's no consequences to his actions. He has no ghost in his shell.
Animal Well was free on PS+, and after just beating the game I loved the experience. I am fine without going for 100%, but I am impressed with the level of care put into the game.
Banal. Ha. Got me good with that one out of the blue.
At 6:38 where is this room???
It’s the top left of the map, and that’s all I’ll say.
@@dankym okey ty❤️ I'm 25 hours in one playthrough, I have 59 eggs and 3 bunnies? I'm going insane
@@springdeerling7866 Yep, it’ll do that to ya.
I've been waiting for this video! One thing you didn't mention that I think 100% makes since is that Animal Well takes place in the the gravity well of a black hole or warp in space time. It would explain the shape of the map and make the title itself a riddle which would be very fitting.
Gravity well, I like that.
I knew this game was good, (Overwhelmingly Positive isnt easy to get after all), but the vines swaying in response to the game window being dragged around is something I've never seen in a game and that's saying something. ❤
1 like just for the end
I'm sorry, but millibytes is criminal and deserves to be punished
Not to mention its soundtrack is an absolute fire... I began my music career because of this game lol
There are a fair few targets in the Hitman series that don't reslly deserve their fates like 47 killing the twin brother of his intended target TWICE.
34mb is just insane for a modern game, wow. Last time I was so impressed was with valheim being like 1gb
Didn't know Valheim was 1GB either, that's crazy. I'm already impressed with Nintendo games like Zelda being 16GB.
i havent heard of this game before and it sounds like rainworld on the surface but the vid assured me
Yea, I've seen many on here compare the game to Rainworld.
You are a Mexican Jumping Bean. Confirmed by billy basso
If you've never seen the game Lingo, I highly recommend it if you liked the depth of animal well. I don't want to spoil anything but it rearranges your brain in the best way
Never heard of it but to looks cool, reminds me of Antichamber and Manifold Garden.
the people at the final mission are working directly for providence, 47 only worked for providence by proxy as an ICA agent
Thanks for the correction. I’ve had others also correct me, but I’ll just pin yours.
@@dankym np ! tho sorry for not checking other comments first loll
All except for 5 eggs was exactly the same for me before I turned to a guide. The last few for me were from areas you needed the bouncy ball for and I didn't want to look for all the areas with the walls they could break by rescouring the entire map.
Yep pretty much the same, them blocks.
@@dankym I remember going past those blocks and not even thinking about how they looked out of place. Little did I know how deep the well would go.
2:26 I kept rewatching this moment in shock
All credit to @TerminX13 on Twitter for this insane discovery.
I'd argue it could be adapted into a film by making one change, at the end of the first act of the film the protagonist kills yang at an old age where they realise that killing him only repeats the cycle and then dies resulting in the talisman and breaking through some movie magic(which in a movie about continuously dying and being resurrected doesn't seem too far fetched ) wakes up at the start of the game 20 years old but without the talisman, where he re-fights all the bosses sparing them at taking back the talismans to meet yang again but this time at 20 he beats yang and achieves wude, the end... idk I'm probs forgetting something but I think that could be a great movie.
Not a bad idea, although I think it makes more sense that the third act will repeat. I wouldn’t mind a Sifu adaptation, and I think it could be good. I’m just saying the story wouldn’t be as effective as it was in the game. The themes wouldn’t hit the same as a passive viewer. But a movie could still be fun.
2:25 is that just a fun visual or an actual solution to a puzzle?
As of now, just a fun visual. Other versions of the game can’t do that.
My immediate thought upon beating the game is that you're a couch potato.
Great intro!
Extremely fun game - like you and others have said, i was disappointed i couldnt solve layers 3 and 4, but i also know i just never could have. I did get all 6(5) eggs on my own, but part of the fun was learning how creative the puzzles are. But like ... I dont have a printer, oh well.
Yea, first time in years since I’ve stepped into a library… and it was to print a puzzle for a game.
I’ve been trying to find footage of the Minotaur taking you to the moon, but can’t seem to find any. Do you know where I could find some?
Sorry, most of the footage I used were my own. Feel free to take a snippet of mine if it helps.
@@dankym I don’t have the game…… Yeah, I’m one of those people.
@@user-gn8ds6oo2w Well I made also made a video about how I’m so guilty of that.
Good video, please make more!❤
You know, I'm actually glad I spoiled myself that some puzzles require outside help. I would've tried in annoyance for weeks to figure it out.
Haha 🤣
If I didn’t use a guide for this I would’ve lost my mind. There’s horror in that alone.
12:18 well you see clearly it was just the smoking that killed him!
New favorite video essay, those jokes were great.
Bunnies are too frustrating and layer 4 is impossible without participating in the arg. no matter how good the first two parts are, not enjoying or even completing half the game tanks its rating.
Bless your autism chief. Brilliant writing
That moment of falling down the well is so good i was like "oh so thats why its called that."
no no, because the map is a giant donut
You should also do an outer wilds video it would make us content starved OW fans very happy
I’d love to, but I don’t know what I would add. Perhaps another playthrough, I can come up with something interesting, but no promises.
People who like this should definitely play Environment Station Alpha. Similar vibe with a crazy post game that'll make you schizophrenic
Seen a few recommend, so I’ll keep that in mind.
True! And the secrets on that one feel more achievable solo.
Jesus this could be the most Reddit game ever made
I assumed so as well, but ironically, I haven’t seen much from the Reddit. Much of the discussion and discoveries have been from Discord. So the most Discord game ever made I guess.
I was looming everywhere for somebody who actually physically made the origami rabbit. I did too, but one of my last folds looks wrong so my rabbit is a bit janky. Surprised nobody has made a youtube tutorial for it yet.
great video!! thanks mate
just noticed the three dots on the lynx's head and also three dots (eyes) on the big bunny. who's out here trying to uncover layer 5 pls write this down they have to be connected
I know the discord is very active. There is something particular about the dots on the lynx.
The ending LMAO
I feel like a lot of people should really play Fez - this game was inspired by it and it has secrets that still haven’t been solved to this day!
I’ll definitely look into it, seen many others recommend as well.
Thanks for the video! If you want more intense puzzliness in a more traditional Metroidvania, check out Environemental Station Alpha by Hempuli :D
I was able to solve 7 of the bunnies on my own, I had hypothesized how to get 2 others, but I didn't execute the plans. That being the "connect the dots" and the "floor is lava" bunnies. But after over 30 hours of searching everywhere else, I decided that even If those were correct, I wasn't going to find the rest on my own. And I was correct. Some of them are nuts. Like, the barcode? what? the Origami? I haven't owned or needed to own a printer in over a decade lol. What an incredible game.
quality over quantity every time. He could have diluted the main game by a factor of 4 and made it a more inferior 20 hour base game. But as it is it's an experience I'll remember for the rest of my life.
chinese mythology reference lets gooooo
as someone who is still playing this game i try to avoid videos about it but im glad i clicked on this one
Hope I kept things vague enough.
I cant put money down on such low value. Be replayable, have tons of content.
brilliant narration. i'll check out your channel when i have time.
I have never played a game in recent history that has encouraged me to want to find the secrets on my own so much. Granted I’m not as much as a deep diver, so I’ll be happy to use a guide for the bunnies, but every discovery that I made on my own felt sooutrageous and I loved it.
It's strange that you thought the game ended at the manticore because it was constantly advertised as a game with immense depth. Stating that the game has 3 layers of depth: main story > achievements > beyond. There was even a lot of coverage about the dev saying it could take years to find all the secrets.
