I'm sorry Tim, I'm never going to even consider skimming a six hour youtube about a video game. it's just never going to happen and I don't understand why anyone would create such a thing. it's a worse use of electricity than bitcoin

I swear I remember an article on Action Button (before he became a fuckin Kotakuite and would still actually deliver an amusing piece from time to time) where a “review” of a game essentially turned into a thesis regarding the time he invited a girl back to his apartment, got shot down, and basically ended up playing a Mario game instead of smashing. Straight livejournal bullshit.

this though, I can appreciate. cuts to the core of life as a True Gamer

okay hold up. "first episode of the review"?

Having to produce videos acts as something of an editor on him (lol this didn’t pan out in the long term!)
evidently not!

the "special structure" bit has me intrigued though, so mission accomplished

mea culpa, I 100% approve of using youtube's technical failings as a framing device

in my defense though, pioneering the episodic review would be very on-brand for him

It’s around 1 hour every 37 days or so right now based on a very rough estimate I did last week

time spent calculating the amount of content is itself content, if you think about it
