Well, unless it's a mirror of the past and the will of the drowned is to drown Imu. And of course, there are many groups set up to help keep people afloat in a flooded world.
Dagda vs Allanon was the Gandalf fight I always wanted The idea of like, the Witchking or Sauron flying around on mounts blasting back and forth with Gandalf? Awesome. I loved a lot of the Shannara books but Elfstones does understandably stand pretty high *hold up is that some Wild Arms music at the end?
Ngl, when I saw the thumbnail, i thought it was just another mobile game ad. Luckily i saw "Breath of Fire"! Really wish we'd get another proper BoF game
It's probably because when I searched for three and couldn't find it. Like the debate of FF6 vs FF7, it probably comes down to which one I actually played first.
Hey man, do you think you can have better audio/music balancing in your videos for the future? Finding it very hard to hear you speak with the music so loud. Thanks
Yeah, I'll try to do better. Even when I drop the music volume down and boost my audio it seems like it isn't quite enough. I'll mess around in the editing software more.
Missile Command was about the dangers of all out nuclear war and that no matter how good you were at stopping missiles, eventually you’d run out of ammo and would lose
You're missing the point. Pong may not have an explicit political message but its development and creation is imprinted in the social and political context of the time. Electronics were developed due to the cold war, specially due to the arms race. The mass production of electronic consumer products would be impossible in a different political and economic context, starting with the fact that the whole game design (and arcade games in general) is based on sucking your coins as fast as possible, something that's only logical in a capitalist mentality. There were no Pong machines in maoist China. As for the other games you mentioned, Zelda doesn't have an explicit political message either but the implicit assumptions on sex politics is and the echos of feudal ideology are crystal clear. The idea that games like Operation Wolf or Contra don't have a clear political message of Reaganite militarism and anticommunism is laughable. Do you think that's a coincidence that no NES game has you playing as the North Vietnamese or the Angolans? Even the name Contra is a reference to a real political scandal. That doesn't mean that the developers were pushing for an ideology, it's just that pop culture reflects the implicit assumptions of the political context that gives it birth, either by upoholding or subverting them. And the claim that there were no explicit politics in games before "the PS3 era" is laughable. Metal Gear was explicitely political already in the late eighties, for example. And yes the Star Wars movies are not only political, they are as explicitely and unsubtely political as October or Rome: Open City. To be honest the whole polemic about "political games" seems a knee jerk reaction from manchildren who were to deft to see the politics in what they played as kids, and get angry when those get pointed out, specially when they have reactionary views and are challenged by others.
Tbh, the backlash is not against political themes in general but progressive agendas infiltrating fantasy and developers insulting their audience. Nobody is offended by a Capitalism vs Communism game, but woke and diverse characters forced into a beloved franchise like Star Wars which was a traditional story about good vs evil.
@@die1mayer Believe it or not, but gay and black people do exist. They were working in the movie industry in the 70s and they are still now. The only difference is they are asking people to not act like they don't exist. No one is forcing you to sit and watch any star wars movie. If they are too 'woke' for you then don't buy a ticket. Same with any show.
I think humour is always going to be super subjective so to each their own, i personally find it hilarious. Objectively though i love that you mentioned how good the world building is. To add on to that, i love how rewatchable it is - they fill every frame with so much detail and so many wacky characters that the 10 minute episodes feel like they’re 20 minutes (in a good way)
@@the-grabbag are you aussie btw? i can’t speak for the states but the show is huge over here. season 1 feels very australian so i wonder if there’s an aussie style of absurdist humour that doesn’t translate to everyone everywhere in the world ?
I have to disagree. I have to say this was the worst, so boring slow and really other than Kirk's growth is the only thing at all that was interesting really. I think the poor story and peace is the undiscovered country was just a cliche, there was a reason it was the last 4 was so much better even 1 was better really and 1 was boring to
I agree. "The Undiscovered Country" is the best Star Trek movie out of the entire franchise. An additional reason (aside from the several you mentioned in your video) is the fact that in the 1990's the movie industry finally started getting significantly better with the advancements of C.G.I. special effects (such as in "Terminator 2" released the same year in 1991) and therefore were able to incorporate those effects into "The Undiscovered Country." Keep up the good videos, and "Live Long & Prosper."
