There's several hour-long YouTube videos that are more than happy to explain it to you, if you're the kind of person who watches youtubes of nerds talking videogames.

E: What I'm saying is I would be more than happy to learn that there are properly written articles that one can read on the subject.

Yeah, I tried the Youtube route, but those nerds are too much for me, and I'm extremely nerdy.

Jim Sterling probably made a video on it on it, but it may just be too early for anything on development to come out/it wasn't a complete disaster like Ride to Hell: Retribution, or Devil's Third.

I actually have watched that one.

And while I agree it's garbage, it's pretty fun with the A Tale of Two Wasteland mods.


EDIT: As long as you add some mods to make combat more difficult, so you don't stomp over everything in New Vegas when you get there.

I hate it when I am missing something obvious or need to look up for a clue on some game, and the only way to actually get any answers is to watch ad-riddled gameplay videos where some annoyng "funny streamer nerd" is wasting everyone's time. Bonus points if it is some 1h+ long stream with hosed up timing codes so you have to search for the part that you actually need.

Yes. Just give me a walkthrough of whatever I can't figure either without commentary, or the bare bones of telling me what I should do.

So this is probably one that's been already posted -- nothing special apart from content aware scaling and distorted audio to match, but this has to be the first time I've seen content scaling applied to animation instead of live action.

Not to be a wiener, but this upload is an uncredited reupload of this video.

Just type in [Game] Walkthrough No Commentary. Can't help you on having to search for the part you're at though.

I finally finished playing it a few days ago, and while I didn't hate it, I'd still like to see something like this too.

Also I only paid like $20 for it and only started playing video games regularly again, so it wasn't a big deal to me.

How are people still getting ads on YouTube? I use Ublock Origin and watch YouTube all the time and I have literally never seen a single ad.

because blocking the ads = less $ for whoever's published the video you're watching.

my pal, my guy, my bunny, i guaran-goddamn-tee that the people still watching ads are the people too computer illiterate to install an adblocker/know they even exist

just do what sagebrush says, give 'em a buck or two via patreon or ko-fi or some poo poo and you'll be saner and they'll get more money anyway

the only good ads in human history are the ones the mcelroys do

verb the adjective noun

I kind of have an early 2000s outlook on youtube, where people made videos just because they wanted to, and I watch them just because I don't feel like coming up with something else to do. And if they stop making them because I'm not watching ad after ad, then they'll stop getting made, and that's fine.

I get tired of ads for cars when I am unemployed and broke. Yes, it makes me want to buy a new car, but that just means I am annoyed by my complete broke assedness.

What pushed me into installing adblock on everything was when I'd try to watch movie trailers on YouTube and before I could watch the trailer I had to watch the teaser for the movie whose trailer I was trying to watch.
