I tend to not care much for his preambles about development history, but it really is eye opening how many reviews spend more time faffing about story and writing while treating everything else as a footnote aka dreaded "plot summaries" masquerading as reviews. MrEdders actually has critical points to talk about and overall strikes a fine balance between narrative/gameplay discussion.

A lot of online critics are basically liberal arts majors who don't really know anything besides analyzing story, so they tend to focus on it to the detriment of everything else. You see a similar thing in non-game reviews - TV/movie reviews focus almost entirely on the writing while ignoring stuff like editing and cinematography, and comics reviewers love to dissect the writing while completely ignoring art, as if these aren't visual media we're dealing with.

Who pays attention to those fucks?
Those gender studies degrees sure as shit won't do anything for them.
But now they think their shit smells better than others and their opinions are worth listening to...
They are not.

holy shit, you can beat the game before you're done with this video goddamn

I hate how those fucks try to make the video seem more "interesting"...
You can tell by the way he plays the game that this guy isn't that familiar with D&D, much less the 3E.
Using Magic Missile and NOT flanking an enemy when viable?
What a rookie...

Saying that about Michael Snow, lol. He has played actual DND for years and years, maybe 2 decades or certainly close.

He made 60+ minute videos on Wizardry 6 and 7 and 8, and 30+ minute videos about UUW, M&M 2, and W&W. He's a legit RPG nerd.

Few months later - new video. Like a cloakawork. Bunch of 4:3 FPS shooters this time

WTF is the part about SWAT 3? Did he even play it? How can he say that it encourages killing everyone even though you get huge penalties for doing it? It was painful to listen to this section... It boiled down to POLICE BAD agenda.

The 20 minute headcanon rant about System shock 2 politics didn't tip you about his political affiliation?

Anyone still watching Noah Caldwell Gervais?
What's he up to lately?
Heard he went full W0ke...
He was always woke. He's less woke now than two years ago. His last few uploads have been him going off on corporations, greed and poor people being exploited. He even used terms like "Neoliberal" and "The Working Class" during his Fallout retrospective.

50% of that Diablo upload is him going off on Blizzard as an exploitative monster that has directly contributed to the decline of the industry.
