Good feedback, thanks. Maybe think of the gaps as "video fatigue" :P

2015-12-15 07:32:39 +0000 UTCSome really compelling perspectives here - thank you! I think it also really showcases how far you've come with your ability to both edit and manipulate video, and it's been lovely to witness you evolve as a quasi-game designer too :)

2015-12-15 04:11:14 +0000 UTCBy the way the last design choice you mentioned in the video is something that has grown in importance to me a lot over the years. Valve calls it offsetting "combat fatigue" and ever since hearing the GFW radio guys talk about it all these years ago it's a design choice that has stuck with me.

2015-12-14 18:53:06 +0000 UTCExcellent video, waaaay better than making a tired "Top X" type thing. Speaking of the technical side of things, the semi-odd pauses in between the games in the list felt slightly off to me. Maybe having a short flash card or transition animation (or both) of some kind would've worked better.

2015-12-14 18:42:40 +0000 UTCGreat episode! I'm a fan of games whose stories and events are driven dynamically by player choice. I'll check out this wesparado. I'm not sure if you've had a chance to cover Undertale. If so, what did you think of its battle system and how that ties in to the rest of the game?
