Story Beats: Dear Esther is Live!
Howdy patrons! The new video essay, Story Beats: Dear Esther, is live! This is - Jesus - my first video essay in three months. Been gone too long! Glad to be back.
Quickie reminder that I'm counting this as 1/2 of January's video. If I can keep my intended schedule, we'll have 4 videos by the end of March (let's call it mid-April to be safe), which will be 2 to count for January and 2 to count for February. Then I'll try to get both march's and April's done in April, but we'll see how that goes. Again, I appreciate your patience while I've been dealing with bullshit on my end.
As long as I've got your attention, here are some recent capsule reviews:
Thoughts on Oxenfree
My take on Oxenfree, which I enjoyed considerably more than I'd expected.
Thoughts on Cibele
A brief take on Nina Freeman's little, autobiographical game, Cibele, which I referred to as "an adventure game about scheduling an internet hookup."
(More) Thoughts on Cibele
My brief take didn't end up being enough, so I posted more thoughts a few days later.
Thanks, all!

I have to admit, I'm a little underwhelmed by the video compared to your usual writing I feel this was less deep and shorter than I had exepected. I'll wait for the rest of the series to come out to judge though :)
Well, I'm sorry to hear that! I make videos when I think something is interesting enough to share, and try to make them as long and as deep as the subject warrants. Bummed this one didn't resonate with you, but I hope the next one does!
