I'm Gred Glintstone, caveman academic. I make internet videos on the website: www.youtube.com.

Usually those videos are video essays about video games, psychology and critical thinking. I'm interested in how we experience media, and what that can tell us about us.

Gredheads! Quick video update.

Thanks for all your patience on the Expedition 33 video. I've been streaming on Twitch to show my process getting a first draft done and I'm happy to say that's finished.

However, after a bit of reflection I don't think it's ready to record and edit. If people are interested on the state of the project, I'll be doing a live update on Twitch soon. Re-writing is an important part of my process so if you're interested in writing at all it might be a good one to check out.

On streaming: I'm sorry to all who have been spammed by my community posts when I stream. I don't usually stream this often because I'm normally at university. I hadn't considered how many notifications I was slinging your way. If you do want to keep updated on that sort of thing then check the discord link in the channel description or follow on Twitch because I'm going to stop doing those posts here.

Thanks!

Merry Christmas, Gredheads!

And a belated congratulations to Expedition 33 for winning Game of the Year. My video analysing the structure of the game's story is currently half-way through the scripting phase and will be out in the next few weeks. Thank you for your patience.

Once that is uploaded, I'll be showcasing my own picks for the best games of 2025. Stay tuned.

There's been a lot of game of the year chatter lately, and there are some clear contenders. But I want to know what your picks are for games that have largely gone under the radar. The games of the year that people aren't talking about. Give me some recs.

This is definitely my spiciest take but its true to how I feel. Hope you get something out of it even if you disagree.

So close to 20k subscribers!!! Thanks to all the Gredheads out there for making it happen. This channel has only been around for a little over a year so the growth is insane.

If you’ve been watching my videos for a while and you’re not subscribed, it’s free! It helps out the channel a lot by boosting the algorithm and connecting me with potential sponsors. That all helps me to dedicate more time to making stuff for you all. Click the bell to get notified as soon as new videos drop.

And consider checking out the Patreon! We have our own Indie Game Club. This month we’re playing Baby Steps.

Thanks again all,
Gred

The Complete Guide is here! This is a re-edited supercut of all parts of the Elden Ring guide. Certain parts were completely redone to flow as one video as it was originally intended. Enjoy!

Quick Channel Update:

Gredlings and Gredheads,

I've got some big videos planned for the next little while but I'm entering final exams next week and then taking a well-deserved holiday to sip coconuts and get pampered.

As soon as I'm back at it, I'll be straight into churning out new stuff so here's what to expect for the rest of this year:

1. The new edited Elden Ring RL1 guide containing all parts combined with re-recorded sections so that it flows as a full project (released before I go on Holiday in the next couple weeks)
2. A video on my (complicated) feelings regarding the story of Silent Hill f (AKA Loud Hill)
3. A structural analysis of Expedition 33
4. A strand-type video essay
5. The Annual Game Gawards (my best games of 2025)

Hope you're all well!
Gred

I edited the VOD from this week's stream and uploaded it to the side channel. Check it out if you want to see how I rank Elden Ring's bosses at level 1. More non-Elden content to come soon.
