You hitting me with Koyaanisqatsi as the opening of the video smacked me with such an intense "that's so raven" flashback of when i watched it in college, oh my god. Completely forgot about that movie. Warn a guy next time! Jokes aside, I have to say congratulations to you for making such a fantastic video. Your exploration of Mizuguchi's work is just as profound and inspiring as his work itself. Your respect for the artform and knowledge of writing / video editing really shines through on this one man. By far my favorite video you've done up to this point. As a budding creative, I'm legitimately ashamed I haven't played or knew of Mizuguchi's work. I've always heard just nonstop praise for Tetris Effect and I kinda just shrugged it off. But to see an examination of why its just so special, makes me realize how naive I've been to not give it a shot. Not to mention Humanity! What a game oh my gosh, that is real potent visual and metaphorically storytelling, while still looking like a solid puzzle / strategy game. I am just enamored by the man's work and have to thank you for bringing it all to my attention. Your editing is on point and you really sold the visuals and music for the more emotionally hard hitting segments of the video. The script and your delivery of it worked great to further emphasize what was happening on screen as well. Just real grade A stuff, you more than deserve the growth you've been getting! Even if you do remind me of wacky abstract art films from college lol. Now if you excuse me, I need to go back to trying to find some sailors.
@@thegammelier its funny since steam has been recommending me void stranger the past month or so, you made me wanna pick it up as soon as I have time for gaming again :3
When I was in university for computing science one of the classes I had to take was (something to the effect of) "sociotechnological implications of a computerized society". The of the first day was watching Koyaanisqatsi, uninterrupted, in its entirety. I think my life changed that day.
insaine that a channel that makes 30min videos on a topics I've never herd of that not only hold my attention but are some of the most entertaining videos I have seen in the past month getts so little attention
Once again you’ve managed to pique my interest in a game that’s, for all intents and purposes, tasteful. Not only that but excellent storytelling (an important skill for any sommelier) l! You’re really living up to your name here. The Court of Master Gammeliers should be proud.
That feeling when you realized the same guy made a bunch of your favourite games. I've never played Tetris effect and Humanity but I will certainly check them out now
Yeah, and congrats on your Void Stranger vid blowing up like that ! It’s gained 60k views in a few days haha ; if your views keep on growing, you might just be the RUclipsr that turns that game into an indie darling 👌 Plus I’d be thrilled if that vid got you more subs : quality screenwriting content like yours focused on videogames feels fresh and exciting ! I loved your God of War vid, it’s the most interesting take on the game I’ve heard so far
Great video :) I’m super happy I came across your channel. Found it through your Void Stranger review (a game I’d played and loved). Now that I see you also have a bit on Humanity, I’m curious : what are some of your other gaming highlights from 2023 ?
@@thegammelier oh and, you may have more than enough games on your hands already and/or you may have already played them, but, if not, I highly recommend two remakes that came out this year and that flew under most people’s radar : - If you enjoy games as narrative experiences : Tactics Ogre is one of my favorite stories ever told in a game (everything Yasumi Matsuno touches is gold imo), and its remake has what I consider to be the best version of its gameplay. - If you like shmups (not sure about this one, but I’m guessing you discovered Void Stranger through Zero Ranger ?) : the M2 DoDonPachi DaiOuJou remake for switch/ps4 is a contender for the title of best shmup of all time. The story, though present, isn’t anything to write home about, but the way it implements its difficulty into its gameplay, mood and theming is 👌🔥👌👍🔥👌🔥
Incredible video. Im in awe that your channel has produced, with so few trys, literal masterpieces. Keep it up, friend

That sounds like one awesome class, mic drop right on the first lesson

essencialy a video about tetris
tetris = everything
This was supreme 😌I loved Humanity from beginning to end. Couldn't stop playing it until I beat it.

Alright, you sold me on humanity. Which sounds like a really funny game to talk about out of context.
Give it a try! It’s on PS/Xbox/PC now and is great!
wow this was really good! Keep making vids! It's a crime this has 800 views
Tell ALL your friends!
No, seriously, tell all of them...
@@thegammelier consider it done

Which ones of Miz's are your favorites?
@@thegammelier Rez was a hugely influential on me back in the Dreamcast era, but Meteos and Lumines are some of my all-time favourites.
Nice videos man, would love to see more from you.
Working on it! Should be a few more weeks
God this video is so so great. Truly glad I found your work, lol imma be using the term synaesthesia for the rest of my life
Make sure you pronounce it right, unlike my dumb self… thanks for watching!
Fucking surreal when you watch Koyaanisqatsi for the first time
It’s a head trip and I loved it
This was a damn good video essay.
Thank you for watching, I appreciate it
What a well made videos you have, half an hour passed like five minutes and the ending is just supreme~
Thank you, I worked really hard on this one
I'm glad I found your channel. And hey, congratz on over 3k subs!
Thank YOU for watching my videos! Every little bit goes a long way

@thegammelier your vids are GEMS, so not a problem)
Amazing video
Hey, thanks for watching. You're in an ultra exclusive club now
@@thegammelier was a great watch! Ahhh keen to be here! ^_^

TotK and Pikmin 4, Cyberpunk 2.0 (haven't gotten to Phantom Liberty yet but what a game), Cobalt Core was really good too
Thanks for watching!
@@thegammelier thanks for the reply ! Awesome, I don’t know about Cobalt Core : I’ll be sure to check it out

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll have to check those out!
Same video brought me here
Fear is the mind killer… Dune
Damn bro. I’ve had the Tetris effect on my wish list for a while. Maybe it’s time I get it
It’s one of my favs, nothing else like it
Beautiful video man. Awesome work.
Thank you, it's my favorite so far, I'm glad you liked it
What a beautiful video
Uhhh... hold on, I'm off to go play Grand Theft Auto
why the reupload
Copyright reasons, last one was flagged so this one's fixed
I wouldn't have caught this without the reupload. Now I feel like I should go through more of your videos because this was engaging.@@thegammelier
