Is Using a Walkthrough Cheating?
21I look up information a lot when I'm playing a game. In this video, I discuss how I use walkthroughs when I'm playing through a game for the first time and how they fit into gaming as a whole.
Walkthroughs are always in the back of my mind when playing single player games. I'm always thinking about how I can best optimize my play, and sites like GameFAQs and even YouTube are extremely helpful tools in achieving that. You practically need a guide to find some Doom Secrets.
My recent Final Fantasy playthroughs got me thinking about walkthroughs in general, so I decided to make a video on it. Just like in Doom, it feels like the game design leans towards forcing a player to have external help to achieve some tasks. Whether or not that's a good thing, is what I talk about in this video.

Production Notes: Not a bad video. I don't really have much to say here. I'm just trying to be more consistent about when I work on a video, so I can get them out more frequently. Also, I uploaded my script and let it do the auto captions. I'll do it again in the future if it syncs everything up well.
