For returning subscribers and viewers: This is a small experiment that I may continue; where I provide more of an insight into lesser-known games and/or cover games in a shorter video that may be more like a video essay type of format. If you don't like the change of pace, let me know. If you do, let me know that as well. I'm more than open to feedback. :)
