Rec: In-depth video game crit

[usernamenumber]

A friend of mine from Once Upon a Time in CA has started doing these... videos about video games. I'm not really sure how to describe them, because they aren't reviews exactly. He writes about games the way a literary critic writes about books, with equal parts knowledge and love of the subject matter. His are also the longest and most in-depth videos of this kind that I've seen. If the idea of retrospectives and analyses of the entire Half Life, System/Bioshock, and Fallout franchises that run around an hour each (mercifully divided into sections that are linked from a TOC in the vid description) and contain observations like "the player wears Gordon Freeman the way Freeman wears glasses: he is a transparent lens", then he's got you covered.
