Hey there, and welcome! I talk about games I think are neat.

I do weekly shortform analysis videos in the interim between the longer (much less consistent) analyses.

I’m a newbie at the whole “video essay” thing, but I hope to use this channel to explore games that I think are doing something interesting or unique. Especially the ones that are a bit niche.

But like I said, I’m definitely still learning, so feedback and advice are greatly appreciated! I’m always looking to improve, both in video production and game analysis.
