New main channel video. And hey, this could be fun based on the posts he did about watching that one rapture livestream.
The first part is kino, but I expected it to be some retarded evangelical zoomer rather than a semi coherent old black man. It's annoying he does his commentary shtick on the man's schitzo comments, especially as the man doesn't have any charisma.

I am curious how this drab talk attracted people into believing rupture is coming.

There was already a community of people looking for proof that the Rapture is coming soon, he's an excuse, not the reason people believed.
 
rape videogame verbal walkthrough.

E: emphasis on walkthrough. The (admittedly shitty, apart from Hunter's) voiceover dialogue is nice, but so far he's not doing anything different from all the other youtubers out there. It's really funny that Kayla voices Anya

E2: the voiceover has grown on me, but Kayla is still pretty bad. You know, this story is intentionally or unintentionally kind of based. Jimmy seems exactly like the kind of guy who would get a long thread on here, maybe in the skinditch.

"From its retro graphics to graphic imagery, it promises to be something unique."

Tell me you don't play horror indi games without saying you don't play horror indi games. One look at the itch.io horror community over the past 5 years will prove that sentence wrong. The only thing Mouthwashing going for it was having an above average art direction and was "subtle" about the rape plot.

I've actually refused to engage with most discussion around Mouthwashing since it seemed like a pretty straightforward one and done deal when I played it, as well as definitely the sort of thing to attract large amounts of pretension from any community because rape is part of its story, so I don't know what more can be added to its discussion after the initial month of its release.

Why is he so late to covering this? I legitimately thought this was a 2nd channel video until i remembered that i unsubbed from that.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was a 2nd channel video, and it got promoted to main channel.

There is the usual crowd talking on how the game is about how capitalism bad, which just removes a lot of the character complexity and is not even that correct to why things happened.

Edit: Also standard case of YouTube video essay being twice the length of the game its covering.

The only interesting thing about the discussion of game is how it has a mild pro-life bent to it because Anya was concerned about her rape baby's well being as well as the rule 34 of Anya. Both of those topics get people really angry and fired up and it's fun to watch them sperg.
 
Mouthwashing is probably the clearest case of the Internet going, "Oh, wait, (thing) is popular? I HATE IT SO MUCH IT'S SUCH GARBAGE!" in a while. Of course, the opposite is also true where you'll get people who would never play a horror game ("Ewww, coud you even IMAGINE?") glazing the balls off of it because they heard from someone who heard from someone that it's 2deep4U Silent Hill 2 elevated storytelling. My favorite part of the whole mess has been the people who have utterly lost their shit because they put out a Nendoroid of the rape lady with an optional "Squidward's sewer slide" head you can slap on.

So, yeah, it's absolutely shocking Wendigoon is just now getting to it. I look forward to his forthcoming videos on Dredge, Inscryption, and... oh, I don't know.... World of Horror as long as he's striking while the iron is room temperature.

I am hopeful for a 9 hour Signalis video from him.

In all fairness, Mouthwashing is around 2 to 3 hours long. His video is actually basically the same length as the game itself.

I think I get Wendy's choice of game videos.

He did FAITH because it is a game by a Christian missionary that he related to.
He did CoD because he grew up with it and got him into Tacticool shit.
He did Leathal Company because his friends made him play it and it tickled his ARG lore autism.
I suspect his sudden interest in Mouthwashing is because he is soon to be a dad and the plot about Jimmy and his fears about the baby and wanting to get rid of it got to him.

I am hopeful for a 9 hour Signalis video from him.
We will get that once the womb envy kicks in and he troons out after his kid is born. He will suddenly feel very connected to the lesbian robots and feel inspired to make that Signalis video

Terrible, Terrible idea, and that wouldn't be funny at all.
I want him to try and make Signalis a Christian allegory.
 
Maybe I'm just burnt out on video game essays, or maybe I've just become really cynical, but I don't think very many games actually have enough substance to them to warrant 3 hour long videos. Whether you're talking about the underlying symbolism or doing some PatricianTV style nitpick extravaganza, it doesn't take 3 hours.

I agree, too many games are trying way too hard to have deep lore and it just makes it feel stupid, and it usually can just be summarized in 20 minutes

I've been nostalgic for pokemon recently and while I was using a video guide to jailbreak my 3DS to have all of them on one system that's easy to carry around I saw a pokemon video that sounded interesting. It was... 45-ish minutes long, reasonably interesting to listen to and on theme while I was getting started on one of the games, though it was way longer than it needed to be, and now I'm getting an endless deluge of pokemon video essays by the same guy that are all over an hour long. It's not like they're super expansive videos that cover multiple topics, each one covers one autistic nitpick about the games, and they're not padded with a lot of empty air either, they're very edited to where he's talking nearly nonstop with tons of cuts. How do you talk about a children's game about collecting cute monsters like that?!
