Hi y'all,
This is an unscripted conversation Annie and I had the day after visiting Michael Heizer's "City" (the sculpture discussed in my recent video). If you're curious about the experience of visiting the sculpture, hopefully this will be an interesting addition to my essay!

Here it is, literally the longest and in many ways the "biggest" video I've ever made. I hope you enjoy.

I have been trying to figure out how to frame this video for multiple years and I finally decided to just do it. Enjoy!

The first video of 2024, and boy is it a whopper. This could basically be called "Fear of Puppets" given how much research went into it, so please enjoy!

Here's even more stuff I enjoyed in 2023! Apologies if this video is blocked in your region- because it discusses music and has extended movie clips and stuff, it's not available in all regions.
It's also available in complete form on Nebula: https://nebula.tv/videos/jacob-geller-jacob-gellers-other-favorite-things-from-2023
Thank you all for another year of support! I can't wait for some of the stuff I'm going to release and announce in 2024.

A classic formula: Jacob talks about several games that scared the hell out of him.

It's a video about 2 games and 400 paintings. Sunglasses not required, but recommended to look cool.

It's a video about architecture, in a sense.

New longest video, and one on a topic absolutely no one asked for. This is the kind of project I can only make because I don't have to chase algorithmic success, thank y'all very much for your support.

To be honest I simply forgot to do a God of War commentary last month, so please enjoy this big episode covering both videos!

Sometimes you just have a gaming experience so bizarre you spend 5000 words trying to understand it.

As Kratos wrestles with fate, I wrestle with my feelings over two God of War sequels. A somewhat simple concept, but I'm very happy with how it turned out!

Longtime fans might remember "Something Rotten," a podcast I did with journalist Blake Hester on games with a reputation for being especially dark and nihilistic. WELL IT'S BACK! This season, we're taking a look at Rockstar's infamous Manhunt series (and all its surrounding controversies).
The show is available wherever you get your podcasts. Nebula subscribers have access to a premium feed with no ads and early episodes: 2023-02-01 16:41:18 +0000 UTC View Post

Another year, another list of great games and another cursed thumbnail. Thank you all for being here- I am so lucky that I can commit the time I want to making things I'm proud of, and you make that possible.
