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.

Covering only the original NES title, not the entire series, Andrew is going through each game in the series (he recently released the fifth installment) with a thorough, personalized breakdown.

It's quality work, check him out.

For some reason, the only FF that had a lasting impact on me was XII. Was the right age I guess. I'll be on the lookout for whenever he releases a video on Zodiac Age.
