I actually made a video in time for Christmas! It's about Age of Empires 2, which I played way too much this year.
Thank you so much for the support on the AI video. I was not expecting it to break through the way it did, and I appreciated all the kind emails (although I'm bad at replying in a timely manner, sorry). With that said, I'm going to stay true to the videos I like making, so the game reviews are not going away. I have a follow-up to the AI video mostly written but my interest in it is waning, if I finish it most of the runtime will be discussing the nature of art and creativity. Thanks to J. for the philosophy help. Now the ramble:
Writing about a strategy game was a new experience for me, it took two or three full rewrites to come up with a good script, and I feel like the final thing lands somewhere between tutorial and review. If it is not analytical enough for your taste I hope I at least managed "comfy". There always has to be a balance between introducing things and analyzing them, and AoE2 is both broad and deep so I ended up in the weeds on some subjects. Aaaanyway I hope you enjoy the video.
Due to the holiday I probably won't be in the comments for the next few days, and the subtitles will be delayed as well. This one came down to the wire, partly due to laziness. I can only make good videos if I put love into them, and it's in short supply sometimes. I am now yulepilled and santamaxxing so I was able to finish the project in the saint nick of time.
If you're reading this you probably like my stuff, so please let me know if you are interested in coverage of popular games. I was considering Half-Life 1, and I played through the MGS series recently. If I don't have anything original to share about a topic, I usually won't make a video, but I fell in love with the controls in MGS2 and 3 so I'm thinking about it. If you've never partaken, Legally Acquire the new PC port of MGS3, it's a perfect holiday game.
Oh, and I am working on Pay to Win 3 while I do other things. So far I love the script. I've posted a couple demo sequences on my other channel, it's unlikely any of those will make it into the video but I like getting ideas out when I feel the urge.
