Gaming Retrospectives & Video Essays
About
Modeled on [email protected]
This community is for long-form video game analysis, especially retrospectives, though videos on any era of gaming are permitted.
Rules
- Content of posts
All top-level posts should be a link to a long-form gaming video essay that isn’t hosted behind a paywall. Videos at least 1-hour in length are preferred.
- Title format
Each post title should include the title of the video, its creator, and its duration in the format [MM:SS] or [HH:MM:SS].
- SWF
No pornographic images or videos.
- post decent content
Noticeably low-quality content and videos that stretch any reasonable definition of “video essay” will be removed. If you’re not trying to break this rule, you probably aren’t.
- No spam
Don’t post the same video multiple times in a short time frame. Don’t flood the community with many videos from a single creator at once.

I just discovered Tim Rogers (Action Button) the other day from another community. Every video I've seen has become an instant favorite.
Ross Scott (Accursed Farms) is like my comfort food in this genre.
I loved Joseph Anderson, but I think he might have gotten out of the game.
Finally, MandaloreGaming and MatthewMatosis are two other favorites that I've watched for a long time.
Just a heads up that Joe Anderson isn't out of the game! He's currently working on his white whale of a witcher 3 video and streams pretty regularly in the mean time. He has a great second channel with a lot of old vods on it if anyone wants to check it out (it's linked through his main). I recommend the danganronpa streams
oh thank you, that's great news!
