Excellent you're making some progrss on that though. I think it's normal for conflicts to leave you revved up because the Adrenaline sticks in your system for while.
There's a funny video where Larry Lawton, the prison activist and jewel thief, is playing GTA V for the first time. Dude spent twelve years in jail and hasn't ever played games before so it's kind of funny watching him trying to figure out how the game works. The most amusing thing is realizing that he's probably better at real life heists than video game heists.

The embedded Bed Bananas Hitman video was fantastic, the rest of the channel not so great... however, I noticed that the Hitman one is very recent, so maybe it has just hit its stride.
Yeah, there's not a huge amount of the channel outside of him and his mates goofing off in some kinda cheap-assed SCP game (or possibly Garry's Mod mode, I have no idea), which is fun-ish, but nowhere near as good as that Hitman video.
I hope he sticks with stuff like that, as he's obviously got talent in editing, comedic timing and manipulating the game in unexpected ways.

12 years? That's not even missing out in the best bits. Surprised he never played a Commodore 64 / Atari 2600 / Amiga of the 80s, or dabbled in the console and or PC scene of the 90s. Some greats across both decades. Even the noughties had some greats. I'd argue that there has been less innovation in the past 10 years compared to decades prior. Not saying for a second that there hasn't been legendary games, as there sure as hell has. But there is less of things going in new directions. If anything things are more lessened, in that there is less of a broad spectrum of popular genres all at once, and more a lower amount of genres being the bulk of what's popular and being focused around.
Dude was too busy doing crook stuff at the time I guess.

He did another. It's kind of cool seeing how excited he gets about the most mundane parts of the game. I'm almost jealous of him because I'm now too jaded on stuff like that to even care about it in a game, but he's seeing the craziness of a sandbox crime game for the first time ever feeling like a kid in a candy shop.
For what it's worth, his videos of other topics like prison experiences and his real life heists are great too. Some are very sobering material though (he survived horrific abuse in prison) so be advised his non-entertainment related topics aren't lighthearted listening.

Some time ago I accidentally found this channel:
(
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3TTvRLPOkTckh7AO8BzSHg) PatalogTV
and loved it!
The main goal of PatalogTV channel is:
- No comments
- Smooth camera moving (even in action games)
- Always hard difficulty (sometimes without getting any damage)
- 100% (all collectibles, logs, secrets, etc)
The only cons of channel is: releasing 1-2 videos per week, but look at some video and you will understand why.
Personally sometimes I have suspicions that it's played by some robot, not human.
Author very thoroughly preparing routes, traps, using script triggers - as result we receive not rushed, perfect walkthrough, with smooth camera moving.
Just take a look on several walkthroughs:
- (

Currently DOOM Eternal is in progress.

Oh, I see! I've heard people complain about all play videos being Let's Plays, when sometimes they just want to take a look around the game without someone constantly trying to be entertaining. I guess this channel would fill that need.

Well, here's a treat! A video of The Spoony One in his element, for some reason never uploaded to his main site. It feels weird that this was only five years ago.

When he first vanished, I would occasionally go search for his Twitter account, wondering what had happened. I soon learned not to do so. It's unhealthy to have such a close, detailed look at a person's mental illness. I don't mean it's unhealthy for the mentally ill person: I mean it's unhealthy for the fans.

There's a new BedBananas RDR2 video which is a sort of follow up to his (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWdv5asDlA) previous one, but now he's got his hands on mods, it's more like his HItman 2 video in terms of ambition:

That one is wonderful, Malf. Beautifully edited. And I'll never sleep again.
On the other end of the spectrum, I enjoyed this one:
[video=youtube;hUwTh4uSILg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUwTh4uSILg[/video]
It won't be for everyone: it's ruminative, verging on the poetic, it's very much about the video essayist and his own emotional reaction, but it's very much about something I enjoy in games myself, and I appreciated someone trying to put these feelings into words and succeeding better than I ever would.
