Consent in Gaming (ft Tim Schafer)

Hey all! I did a new video discussing consent in video games over on Gamespot. It’s another fun video that I did a lot of interviews for; including Tim Schafer himself! I’m rather proud of this one and I’d love comments and your thoughts ❤️, especially considering sadly there’s always the not-so-nice ones over on gamer sites, especially the transphobic ones today for… reasons.

"I'm Done with JK Rowling": Post-Mortem

Hey everyone; so as promised in my update video, here's the first of my patreon-exclusive post-mortem videos. My plan is, going forward, for every major video essay release, I'm going to try to release videos like this where I talk about or have a convo with someone about the video; either with someone I worked on the video with, is relevant to the video/was in the video/ or someone who I think could provide cool additional context. So for this video one, Aranock and I sit down to talk about ...

The History of S*x in Gaming

A big project that I’ve been working on for Gamespot just released, and I’m really proud of it, about Sex in Gaming. If you could head over and give it a watch and a nice comment (cause of course some of the comments are, not fun) I’d be so appreciative cause this video means a lot to me and it took a lot of work and fighting to get it out as it is. And I’m so incredibly proud of it!

Clickers and bites and museums, oh my!

I'm Done With JK Rowling (FULL VERSION)

So this isn't out publicly yet on YouTube because I'm having issues with copyright claims and such, but here's the full video version! There are a couple of bits added from the rough cut and better editing (obviously) but the big section to watch if you have already seen the rough cut version is the final section, as Aranock came in and asked to have a part in the video to share an experience she had when it comes to Harry Potter. It's a rough one, so take care of yourself if you watch it, bu...

My Last JK Rowling Video Ever (I Hope) - ROUGH CUT

Here's the rough cut for my big JK Rowling video. It's gonna be (hopefully) my last one ever, so it's gonna cover everything. It starts off being about Hogwarts Legacy but secretly is about a much bigger issue. Also, there's a lot of contentious topics, and I'm still editing this, so if there's any thoughts or comments, let me know. Happy to hear any critique. In terms of stuff missing, there's some missing music, sfx, and a few quotes from people that I need to go through, as well as some de...
