The Blair Witch Project: A Shot in the Dark
The Blair Witch Project is one of the most upsetting films I have ever seen and I consider it to be one of the best horror films. I was on the brink of tears both times I watched it. It has three incredible performances that create an incredibly visceral experience. The film explores the very reason why we make art and why we document. It is a film that puts into question the purpose of documentation and the contradictions brought about by the age of information, pulling us closer together but as revealed by the cut up and particularly by the ending, ultimately there is a great distance between us.

James Benning is primarily known for his landscape filmmaking and this video is primarily a discussion of his film Ten Skies. This video also serves sort of as an explanation as to why I've been gone so long. Ten Skies is made up of ten shots shot on 16mm film, each ten minutes long, there is no camera movement or narration. The only things to take in are the heavens above and the various sound...

I could ramble about the games design, lore, and aesthetic for hours on end and that is exactly what I ended up doing here with this comprehensive review and analysis of my favorite game ever.

The End of Dark Souls
มุมมอง 12K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
Gwyn, Lord of Cinder, is the final boss of Dark Souls and the one responsible for the tragic state of the game's world. The finale to Dark Souls is one of the most memorable moments of any game and for good reason; it is fantastic. It has been such a joy to talk about Dark Souls and it is the best narrative I have ever experienced in a game. #darksouls #darksoulsremastered
The Lost Potential of Lost Izalith
มุมมอง 210K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
Alright, I have put it off long enough, it is time that I finally talk about Lost Izalith. I’ve waited so long to talk about this because it is home to some of the most depressing narrative moments while also being a horribly designed area. I don’t like being too negative but that is damn near impossible to do when talking about this clearly rushed and unfinished section of Dark Souls. But if y...
Dark Souls Covenants are the best
มุมมอง 14K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
At its core, Dark Souls is a game about the need for humanity to reach out and make a connection. So it only makes sense that its multiplayer aspects are not only a ton of fun but also a beautiful translation of this game’s message. Despite a majority of the covenants in this game being pvp oriented they all find ways to have their own unique qualities and they also intersect with each other in...
Why this is my favorite moment from Breaking Bad
มุมมอง 3K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
Breaking Bad probably needs know introduction. But there is one moment I have always been particularly fond of and it was right at the start of the series in the Pilot episode. The matches in the pool scene is my absolute favorite scene in the show because of how simple it is and how effective it is at humanizing Walter White. In television series filled with extravagant action scenes, it is th...
How One Line Perfectly Sums Up Dune
มุมมอง 14K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
"Lead them to paradise" is a line that has stuck with me and many other audience members. It is a line that perfectly encapsulates the themes of Frank Herbert's Dune. The story of Paul Atriedes and the Fremen is a tragedy because we see the beauty and the love they have for the world become twisted by prophecy and war. Denis Villeneuve is able to perfectly bring this tragedy to life and through...
The Beast Rabban | Rage Is A Mask
มุมมอง 1.4K8 หลายเดือนก่อน
I've been going through a bit of a Dune Obsession and one performance I can't stop thinking about is Dave Bautista's performance as Glossu Rabban. The Beast Rabban is almost cartoonishly angry but underneath all that rage is a fragile man. I think his performance highlights the self destructive nature of the Harkonnens masterfully. #dune

Over the years, From Software has gained quite the reputation in regards to their dlc’s for their stellar games and it all started back here with Dark Souls.

Artorias of the Abyss is an incredible experience and although it is often regarded as just a boss rush I have real...
The Truth About the Ending of The Sopranos
มุมมอง 1.2K8 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Sopranos probably has the most iconic ending in the history of television. It was an ending that shocked just about everyone who watched it. It is a polarizing moment in the series with many people unsatisfied with it while others view it as a fitting end to such a foundational show. I am among the crowd that enjoys this ending and I believe it to be the perfect conclusion to Tony Sopranos ...
A Deep Dive Into New Londo | Dark Souls Analysis

New Londo ruins is one of the most somber locations in any of the From Software games. It is also home to some of the most frustrating design choices in Dark Souls. But I believe that the great parts of New Londo Ruins outshine the bad parts of it. I want to examine this corner of Dark Souls and its surrounding quest that will take you into Darkroot Garden in search of Artorias the Abysswalker....
A Review of The Sopranos: Road to Respect
มุมมอง 2.6K9 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Sopranos: Road to Respect is a tv tie-in game for the playstation 2. It was developed by 7-studios and published by THQ. THQ has quite the reputation of publishing licensed games and I find Road to Respect to be one of the most interesting. It follows the story of Joey Larocca and his journey toward becoming a made man. This game is faithful to the show in a lot of great ways but it is prim...

The Coldest Moment in The Sopranos
มุมมอง 15K9 หลายเดือนก่อน
Tony Blundetto was a character I initially rooted for back when I first started watching The Sopranos. I genuinely thought he was going to change for the better but then he took away any hope of that so quickly. His actions created so much tension between the two families and his close relationship with Tony Soprano wasn't enough to protect him. That Animal Blundetto's final scene is one that s...

    Yeah... in the ds series there is no "happy" ending anywhere. The whole series is about accepting that the age of fire along with everything that people hold good and happy. The triology is all about just trying to prolong the end, or accepting (walking away from the primal fire)

    Hey man, I really enjoy these vids of yours, just stumbled on them and I'm glad I did. I played Dark Souls for a few hours as a kid, and it stuck with me for all my life. There was something about it. It wasn't a kind game, and it wasn't a cruel game either. It was a struggle, and it was what I decided to make of it. A struggle isn't necessarily a bad thing, or a good thing. I find this game hilarious, honestly. I find Sen's Fortress hilarious. I crack up when the ball rolls over me. Thing is, this world will go on without me. Why shouldn't the common Undead steamroll me, why shouldn't the bonfires go on as half coals forever. But I carve out a place in this world. And I lose people, and I lose places of warmth and familiarity. But I keep at it. There is something very funny about this. And there's no lock on the door, you can just come on in, you know? Keep it up man.

    2:46:34 No, Siegmeyer doesn't go Hollow. Environmental storytelling, remember? If You look closely You'll see that He has normal, non-hollow skin. He is still human. Siegliende kills Him for I have no idea what reason. I always finish Her off earlier or even better, kill all the monsters in the sewers. With that in mind I always think that Siegmeyer is still safe after that. Don't You dare go hollow.

    This gonna be some "personal opinion" kind of trash I can not agree with from the start. The story telling is neither clever nor anything new. They literally stitched this game together from many already existing ideas and painted this half baked idea over it. The hilarious aspect about this is that mostly mental unstable people project their own pain into this non existing background story - the lore as you call it. This empty void of an existence filled with your own pain and hatred. A story I've heard from thousands of DS players, true losers in any reality. I like Dark Souls myself. All three games in this franchise and also some Sekiro. Good games. But holy canneloni are you Dark Souls fan communities filled with manic/depressed dumpster fires. Soulless and empty walking zombies with no life for once. Only Dark Souls gave them some purpose and now they walk on earth without purpose just waiting for a new Dark Souls to rise from out of the aether. Mental.
