🎉 NEW VIDEO 🎉 The GTA 6 leaks might feel unreal and unprecedented—but it isn't the first GTA game to leak In fact, it's been happening since at least 2004...

Video thumbnail with the text "A Leaky Series". The background features characters from GTA IV, San Andreas, and GTA V with text excerpts like "pleads guilty" and "apologizes to Rockstar".

🎉 NEW VIDEO 🎉 The Mexico missions in Red Dead Redemption are basically one of the reasons I wanted to research history in the first place. Finally, I get to share some of that research with you.

“Bill Carson” (aka Phil) sent me this excellent video from @realpixels.bsky.social about Ennio Morricone’s masterpiece, The Good, The Bad And The Ugly. The expanded deluxe edition 3-CD #soundtrack can be found on @quartetrecords.bsky.social. youtu.be/64Izw09Z8hM?...

I own at least three copies of this film on Blu-ray/UHD-BD and the music on vinyl, I don't need to buy the extended soundtrack on CD as well... ... okay fine, you've convinced me. Anything for more Morricone. Thank you for sharing, and for all that you do!

🎉 NEW VIDEO 🎉 There are some locations in The Last of Us that look like they'd be a lot of fun to explore as a child... So, I ranked them.

I spent years working on this series, and months remaking it as one big video. I had many long days, countless late nights, and got sick at least twice. And it all felt worth it the moment it received its first view. Thank you for giving me that feeling one million more times.

🎉 NEW VIDEO 🎉 It's hard to believe that Uncharted 4 is now 10 years old... To help me come to terms with that, I made a video about one of the game's best chapters

🎉 NEW VIDEO 🎉 The final New Austin missions in Red Dead Redemption always feel like our big Avengers moment before heading to Mexico. But the most interesting part for me, of course, is the history...

🎉 NEW VIDEO 🎉 Train Dreams is a lot of things. It's a film about the end of the frontier, and the approach of civilisation. It's a film about climate and nature, and how humanity has impacted it. But, perhaps most importantly, it's a film about life.

I love that there's no big bad alien/robot trying to destroy or take over the world or anything like that It's really just a story about politics and family

My hot (lukewarm?) take is that Civil War is a top three MCU film I re-watched a bunch last month and it's still one of my favourites

🎉 NEW VIDEO 🎉 Early in #RedDeadRedemption, John Marston tells Bonnie about his parents and childhood. But how historically accurate is his backstory, really?

🎉 NEW VIDEO 🎉 Last year, I made a video stating that my opinion on The Polar Express is correct and everybody who disagrees is wrong. This year, I have a confession to make: I may have been wrong.

I found a football pitch in Baby Steps. I then decided to make an entire video about how it's the best sports game I've played in years. No, seriously! Hope you enjoy it. Jokey framing aside (or not) I really like how this one came out. If you like it, sharing really helps me out. Cheers!

21 years of GTA: San Andreas! … and GTA Advance … and 25 years of Midnight Club and Smuggler's Run … and 15 years of Undead Nightmare … and 7 years of Red Dead Redemption 2 (Rockstar really seem to like 26 October for some reason…)

While researching this video, I was struck by D'Angelo's calmness and composure—always taking time to thoughtfully consider his words It's no wonder, then, that his music was as beautifully considered, too www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyew...

"Unshaken" is such a beautiful, thoughtful track—and not just in the context of the game Its slow build is haunting, and D'Angelo's deep vocals will forever be etched in my memory www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkBq...

Tried to find out their reasoning but got no response (Hint: it's probably because I mentioned Gaza)

Said it a bunch and I'll say it again—that Thomas isn't like Folding Ideas big is a true failing of the platform. Super compelling concept realised brilliantly here. Get it watched, you won't regret it.

Note: You can also do this with other works—nothing beats reading essay in paper format. Warning: You may become addicted and spend all of your money doing this. Worth it.

Advice for creatives: print and bind your writing work! Having spent months (or, technically, years) working on my video about Red Dead Redemption 2's historical accuracy, it's so nice to actually hold the script in my hands.
