The Top Ten (and a Half) Best Games of 2021

Happy end of the year y'all! Please enjoy this video with perhaps the most chaotic thumbnail ever made. 

Director's Commentary: Time Loop Nihilism

I've actually been stuck in a room re-recording this director's commentary for years now, so this is the best possible version of it 

Time Loop Nihilism

In which Jacob struggles with the idea of consequenceless actions 

Director's Commentary: I Do Not Understand Hotline Miami 2

Spoilers: I still don't!

I Do Not Understand Hotline Miami 2

Sometimes you just don't have the answers. 

Director's Commentary: After a City is Buried

Lots of fun tidbits in here that didn't make it into the full vid!

Charity Stream happening now!

Hi y'all! As many of you might have heard about already, I'm starting a 24-hour charity stream for The Bail Project right about now! Come and say hi at https://www.twitch.tv/jacobgeller

After a City is Buried

A classic deep dive

Director's Commentary: Tetris Effect and Other Games with Immaculate Vibes

y'all, check out how in the thumbnail, the words are reflected on the marble. HotCyder is so good. 

Tetris Effect and Other Games with Immaculate Vibes

A purely gamey video, for some very pure video games.

Also- since there are a lot of new patrons (hello!), I wanted to give a quick note about the video's credits. As a general rule, I lock in who will be on next video's credits shortly after a video comes out. I often have to upload videos early to make sure they clear copyright, set up subtitles, blah blah. So, if you joined since last video and don't see your name, rest assured that I appreciate it very much and you'll be in...

It's a Minecraft Milestone, baby

Unbelievably, there are actually 1800 people in here now. As promised: here's the playlist of Minecraft videos I made circa-2011.

There was a period during high school when I'd come home every day and play Minecraft while watching the previous night's Daily Show and Colbert Report. I didn't stick with survival, nor did I have much interest in multiplayer- instead, I was really just interested in building my own massive structures in my own private world. I can't remember when I decide...

For Everyone! Director's Commentary: Bright Unbearable Realities

Hi all! As a special treat, I thought I'd give this director's commentary to all patrons. Also, I wanted to use this space as a heads-up: this will be a two video month. It's very exciting, but also means that you will be charged twice if you haven't opted out in your settings. Anyway, enjoy my ramblings. 

The Men Who Couldn't Stop Crying, and Other Unbearable Realities

Sometimes you've gotta spend a huge amount of time and energy making a video that literally zero people asked for 

Director's Commentary: Dead Space 2 Still Feels Like a New Game

I forgot to talk about the title/thumbnail changes, so I put some stuff about it in the description if y'all are interested

Dead Space 2 Still Feels Like A New Game

glasses or safety goggles recommended 

Director's Commentary: The Game That Won't Let You See All Of It

a really good commentary I think!!

The Game That Won't Let You See All Of It

My most experimental video in a while. This is all about "Before Your Eyes," but it IS spoiler-free, so watch away. Thanks y'all! 

Director's Commentary: The Best Simpsons Intro is About Losing Everything You Love

ALL HAIL THE DARK LORD OF THE TWIN MOONS

The Best Simpsons Intro Is About Losing Everything You Love

Director's Commentary: Games That Save The Best For Last

Attempted to talk about the editing process in this one! 

Games That Save the Best for Last

Sometimes ya just wanna get excited about some good ol' endings. 

Director's Commentary: The Golem and the Jewish Superhero

Also, if ya missed it on twitter: limited run of Golem stickers! Tell the world that the golem is real and your friend: https://store.nebula.app/collections/jacob-geller/products/jacob-geller-golem-sticker?variant=39308632490068

The Golem and the Jewish Superhero

It's a big one 

Director's Commentary: Dark Souls III is Thinking of Ending Things

Gather round gather round! New commentary!

Just a heads up, this commentary also mentions suicide, so the same content warnings as the standard video apply.

Dark Souls III is Thinking of Ending Things

Please appreciate the absurdity of making a Dark Souls video the month after I get VaatiVidya to do a voice for the channel. 

(Also- in the sponsor read, I mention some bonus content re: the differences between the book and the film I'm Thinking of Ending Things. I'll also talk about this in the Director's Commentary, so don't sweat it)

Director's Commentary: A Thousand Ways of Seeing a Forest

Details on ambient noises abound

Director's Commentary: Reflecting on my First Video Essay

Hi all! It's been a while since I did one of these, so here's a Director's Commentary on my very first video essay, "Capitalist Present, Collective Future: An Analysis of Labor in Night in the Woods and Tacoma" (jeez, that's a mouthful). I hope y'all enjoy it, it was a fun walk down memory lane for me.

Also, I will admit that I'm putting this out as a little bonus because I'm feeling kinda guilty about my current experience with Pathologic 2. Y'all helped me reach that mileston...

A Thousand Ways of Seeing a Forest

I'm headed off to Ol' Shoshone 

Director's Commentary: Searching for Disco Elysium

Let's continue to only scratch the surface of disco elysium!

Searching for Disco Elysium

I told ya. Hopefully y'all feel like this does credit to such a colossal game, it's been a long time coming.
