Last month, playstation pissed me off and I started slowly chipping away at a video essay on why all physical media is important, not just video games. So in this here video essay, I talked about the options we have as consumers and why physical media is important to me. Here are the thumbnails.

This sums up everything post RCT3. RCT3D was awful. RCTW was terrible. And uhhh, we don't talk about the other ones.

I am honestly blown away that this video did so well despite me throwing it together last minute. Within almost 3 days of just posting it, it's already my 7th most viewed video on the channel. I don't think it will pass any in the top 6, it is cool to see for sure. Thanks everyone for watching!

While most gamers knew this was coming, it still does sting a little. My best assumption is that the PS6 will most likely be a digital only console with no disc drive whatsoever. Regardless, massive L for physical gamers such as myself. :(

Went out and saw the Mario galaxy movie today. My honest thoughts is that I think it was better than the first one and the callbacks were great. It was nice to have more Luigi in this film as well. Now give me a Luigi’s Mansion or Mario Sunshine movie you cowards.

If a post makes you angry, wait at least one hour before you reply. Go ahead and post if you're still angry then, but I promise you won't be. Even a few minutes away from the screen makes you quickly realize how little any of this matters.

A quick video editing thread but it seems that my editing software, Vegas Pro, has changed hands once again and now under the umbrella of Boris FX. I actually use a handful of their plugins in Vegas Pro and this is probably for the best. www.vegascreativesoftware.com/vegas-pro/
