[00:24] to that of zeldas in link's adventure in that it fires at walls connects and retracts movement can be turned into a mechanic but we're still not done during the events of the progression

[00:39] in this series of chapters it's been brought to my celtic attention that in division beckons significant ignorance in modern audience discourse and if we're being honest

[00:52] that seems pretty fair we at goodalp must return to the basics to really the lessons developed from books in games i love spider-man the sound design is incredible

[01:05] he gets faster the more he moves i know that's a weird way to start the video but everything in media is based on the iliad written in part understand where and why aliens was released

[01:21] where and why aliens was released during the tumultuous year of 1992. a during the tumultuous year of 1992. a film predicated on centrifuge misery local and worldwide box office the only two

[01:35] likeable characters were a woman of color and a dwarf great writing however what makes it so memorable is that the highly intense fish-inspired survival story is told from the very epicenter of the

[01:49] plot event it revolves around if your movie has the people trying to survive the event as the people who are the ones we follow they better have something to do with the cause of it or it will become a boring walking

[02:02] simulator like disney's aladdin yes ridley defeated the monster and yes it's a badass moment but so what it's for kids

[02:14] there it's pointless and what could you really say is the monsters and save her friends the reason is never established now let's compare that sulphuric scene

[02:28] to the mandalorian check this out top 5 10 gaming moments from the mandalorian number eight gomorian guards you love to it finally explains what happened to the guards from that movie

[02:42] wrestling in space number nine this part was so awesome when the fish person said but then beau catton comes in and says no i killed your brother and then they

[02:58] shoot and luke kills them with his green laser ahsoka's entrance was perfect season look as boring as the snooze fest that look as boring as the snooze fest that is van helsing

[03:17] visit medieval england video gaming is a difficult subject as it's not bound by any earthly idea of context nor settled a real review of the last of us two can

[03:31] come out this film is perfect in my opinion it's very tactile in how it feels she lost the ability to play guitar and freed herself from her connection from the abusive

[03:45] joel this villain story arc for elroy was completed wonderfully meanwhile abby was a hero you're a piece of [ __ ] if you turn on your brain you will emphasize with her and it's time to talk about why

[03:58] she's not going away gamers this work schedule shows that she trained vigorously she has a balanced diet she different stuff abby has a phenomenal physical role at the camp she goes out

[04:14] and joel is absolutely loathsome if you didn't want to see him beaten to death with a golf club you are abusively disconnected from reality joel did cause all death both earthly and cosmic

[04:30] but lest ye cast the prior stone when assumed the role of victor or penultimately executioner wilfred bumblecock abby became a more morally justifiable than any other characters that the

[04:44] and i could go through all the reasons but that would take too long let me start by saying if you wanted to kill abby at the end of the game then you've outed yourself as an insult

[04:58] work it's a good story because it's dramatic memorable surprising and predictably unknown at times i felt emotion

[05:11] if you simply reconsider your emotions then the game was successful part 7 head canon oh hey that rhymes poe the stealth game well i'm one of the few people who likes it

[05:27] when stealth is done well and maybe i'm a masochist but i like to play levels more than once at the same time i'm the kind of gamer who prefers a lack of choice let's explore that

[05:40] game can manipulate you very easily i prefer a more game-like game especially when the enemies can spot you so easily with the brand new sep link software

[05:53] the modern arena unlike the beloved winnie the pooh is winifred without sin the game was a masterwork the sound design was incredible it couldn't be improved if it

[06:09] was hit by the red car lore i gave it a six the gameplay was ok the sound design was well designed but how good was the movie adaptation children's story about space and its relative nature in

[06:24] the same vein had you watched the sequel trilogy as a child on vhs you would like them so why praise the originals so much look yes palpatine died in the

[06:36] he died but he didn't somebody something has noticed or has not spoken on yet is the easy fix for the rise of the skywalker they could have had finn the end that would have been cool and this game

[06:52] is all about momentum if you don't trust me on that trust the aggregate sites they agree with me for example check this out the darth vader hallway scene was like a remaster

[07:05] of a ps1 game all they did was save han's life in the opening of the return of the jedi and tross was mainly plot said i mean timing does indeed test your

[07:22] performances nothing was saved in the edit as drama conglomerates like to claim much in the same way phasma's design

[07:35] helped us understand how masks work hey for those who are an x-wing yoda also did it yes i know he wasn't dead but he's a frog person who worked for the resistance republic

[07:50] rebels whatever listen al is literally the only ben gets to say between his redemption and death the math is simple it comes from the metaphysical

[08:05] luke is thinking killing kyle would prevent bad things from happening i guess i could do that

[16:01] of the rings analysis everyone says t-o-l-r-n-t-s is a trilogy that is flawless and without floor the lord of the ring trilogy comes under scrutiny for many valid reasons it's forgettably unimpressive it's bland

[16:14] if i get any of the names wrong in this response it's because i've seen this [ __ ] once and i don't remember it i could go through all of my criticisms but you already know for example check this out gimli's

[16:27] desire to kill frodo the stakes feel like they're there andy circus is bad he does voices and apparently that's great gollum the wankless wonder was charming but was it worth it whenever andy wasn't

[16:40] the toys were probably [ __ ] each other in the ass hopefully not gay though the characters have traits frodo is just the hero that hangs around around causing dick sex machinas the

[16:52] they do the job of earning their existence uh the darth maul fight was until you remembered that you didn't care about anything in the movie also it's super long intro like when i made a movie intro it was because i didn't know

[17:06] what filmmaking was it's so bad and people only enjoy it like how good can an adventure about jewelry be harry potter it's so boring people look at which

[17:19] remember their names dr ugen sue chavlay an 89 year old from the atlantic has requested a zoom call to counter the criticisms of this

[17:31] now interlock hello nice to meet you dr ugan sue chavley good evening okay i could explain these valid criticisms further

[17:44] but i don't have the time it's for kids no right i suppose we could look at one of the simple shouldn't interrupt people oh i'm sorry if these films are so good why didn't they win nickelodeon's kids

[17:57] choice awards 2017. i'm unfamiliar with those awards don't laugh at me in fact why did you laugh explain yourself i yeah so you said the films are worse

[18:12] than harry potter why is that i never said that alright let me ask you now are they better than harry potter or worse do you think they are better or worse they could be

[18:28] better yes but are they on par with harry potter yes or no is this guy supposed to be do you guys know lemmy mooper i simply want to know you know what i shared my

[18:41] come and kill me i guess i don't give a [ __ ] these movies are meant to make you feel things right then why write 800 pages for no reason that's lazy everything peter jackson said about his movies were lies and a

[18:54] film can't be good at that stage well i imagine you are familiar with death of the author i believe in that zero percent it's a you believe death of the author is zero

[19:08] applicable how exactly thank you doctor for representing the failure of online next episode we shall be speaking to an expert in the field receive is baseless people like the doctor use the

[19:23] schedule one confined in the game as proof that it's insufficient for the people who use the schedule to make points are insane they just want to be the criticisms my friends receive however is base fool but they hope the

[19:37] war so don't worry about it the worry should be directed at shadow lords the people who make it more complicated people who raise their pitch to win arguments people who reference harry

[19:51] potter and mauler the first pioneer of being objective about things themes sometimes i go on twitter hyperbolic dumb dumb talk the internet has broken us

[20:06] it's a world of chunks people it's filled with those anti-sjw types making if we could finally talk about what matters please disney has ruined culture the sound design is incredible

[20:19] this was proven in a study conducted by joshua paul dale describing the evil cute evil cute is when the themes of a story be they about suffering or white samaries can't be anything but toxic

[20:31] when fans are involved they are horrible creatures the older stories prepare children with lessons that prepare them for the challenges nowadays though you could be grabbed like a little clown boy and nobody would

[20:44] friend and you think they're dead but they're not then you're going to be more careful next time the correct theme is be kind or suffer because love is suffering this is an act

[20:57] runs enough of your cold dead heart clogging we see them everywhere the usual suspects the people you know the people and the rest i guess all i can say in conclusion

[21:12] white dudes talking to awesome mud people but now i want to focus on why there are so many focus on why there are so many inconsistencies

[21:27] response you guys ever noticed how tony hawk combos are like playing quickfire and i can't believe they never created the sequel that was set up at the end of titanic where they would all be ghosts haunting the ship you cowards

[21:40] absolute shum in this video i have identified identified six different elements let's explore before i go i want to say i listen to chris stuckman he is pure

[21:52] satisfaction i can't fathom how you consume stories also people are defending the sequels that's okay but always remember if some kind of weird nerdy plot hole thing is broken

[22:05] the better question is how does that make you feel because art is about feeling so stop being angry but to be fair it's unhealthy to discuss media as i ensconced in the beginning

[22:18] i were different i would have a different reaction thank you all for watching good help we shall see you in the next one
