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
  1. 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.

  1. 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].

  1. SWF

No pornographic images or videos.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

Oh yeah, this is a great one. Thanks for sharing. Could you add the creators name and video length to the title of your post I.e.,

Lord of the Rings Video Game Retrospective | An Exhaustive History and Review | I finished a Video Game [5:05:27]

I treat them more like audio books on a long commute, or during housework and that kind of thing. Haha, They end eventually.

Oh same, I'm no stranger to long ones, but 5 hours is longer than 1 of the extended cut movies!

The retrospective is 1/3 of the series! It's a commendable effectors, if it's not trash quality.

Haha, that's true. But then again, its less than half the dragesh audio book of the Fellowship of the Ring.
