This is just false. There are many games that have good/great creative vision that come out. It's just that like 'never before,' there is a tsunami of video games that come out every month. Finding these video games with good/great creative vision is tremendously hard unless you have a filter system in place. (And even then...) Are they all video games that we would likely pay for, no. There are a lot of half baked games that come out. I'm talking about video games from a single first time video game developer, 10 person dev team companies, 100 person dev team companies, all the way to 1000+ person video game projects made by AAA publishers/developers. And of course everything in between. Making a video game is easier to do nowadays, for sure. But to make a video game that captures all of the "creative vision" you speak of... very difficult to do so.

Some of the best video games to come out this decade have come from video game developers who were solo or small teams.

This was obviously made to be car-centric propagandists. /j

The fact that this video was uploaded to Youtube on 10th of February 2006... and Youtube was founded on the 14th of February 2005... is NUTS!

Also, this is a meme by definition. "A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme."

it's just in video/clip format.

And finally, this is not an antique meme. This is a freaking artifact of a bygone 'era,' and I love it!

 
 

Were we all deceived? Was there a better one created in secrecy in a faraway land?

I haven't torrented in many years. But I wanted to give a shoutout to all of the seeders that come back online, so ~~I~~ we could finish. There were many movies I had qued. Most were fine and finished up in three days or less, some started then stopped before they even reached the 15% mark, and several would make it to 98% then stop. Thankfully, there were some people out there who finally came back online and seeded enough for me to finish the dls. I made sure to seed enough peers to where there would be 10 seeders before I would consider removing it.

And a huge fucking thank you to whoever the hell came back online to let me get some obscure TV show called The Legend Of Mick Dodge. I started to dl when there were only 2 seeders. Then it soon became 0 seeders. I held out because I wasn't able to find a trusted torrent for the show. So I ended up sitting on that for a bit over a month. Then one morning, I checked my list and found to my surprise that both season 1 and season 2 were complete. I was shocked when I found out that there were now 7 seeders including me. And because of the annoying wait I had to endure, I made sure to seed the MFer for 2+ months before transferring it.

((Turns out, the TV show is on archive.org https://archive.org/details/the-legend-of-mick-dodge/))

 

The Youtube channels I would recommend are the following:

Tech/Science

S3 - The stories of people working to change the world.

Modern Day Eratosthenes - A great STEM communicator who provides a moderate level breakdown of STEM topics. Videos are less than 12 minutes long.

Ziroth - This channel focuses on highlighting new science and engineering projects that are helping the world transition to a zero carbon future!

Speculative Science

Isaac Arthur - This channel focuses on exploring concepts in science with an emphasis on futurism and space exploration, along with a healthy dose of science fiction. While we explore many concepts and technologies that are far beyond us now, we try to keep everything inside the bounds of known science or major theories.

Analytical Tech News/Stories

TechAltar - Analytical videos about tech companies [and their products or services].

Tech Business/Economics/History Video Essays

Asianometry - One of my favorite YT channels. He does a great job producing high quality videos about tech history, tech related economics, and sometimes dives into what that latest tech is and how it might play a part in our future.

Humorous Business Journalism

Good Work - "Edge-cutting" business journalism, with a healthy dose of humor mixed in. Actually covers things that you might want to know more about in the realm of business, trading, and why the American economy is so freaking weird.

The Making of a Movie/TV Show

It Was A Sh*t Show - Making stuff is hard, especially in the entertainment world when there are millions of dollars on the line. And we are going to talk about these disastrous, never ending, and sometimes dangerous productions. With video documentaries and a companion conversational podcast, It Was A Sh*t Show is an entertaining look at some of your favorite films and tv shows, and why they were such a nightmare to make.

Frame Voyager - Mini-documentaries on films without the clickbait negativity.

Mini/Full Documentary Makers

Peter Dibble - Obscure history from the Pacific Northwest and beyond. I recommend checking out America's First Cross-Country Auto Race.

Kirby Ferguson - He's best known for his documentary series called, Everything is a Remix. He made an updated and extended version of it. I recommend it.

I started in on the documentary called Aliens Expanded It goes in depth about all the things that happened and didn't happen while making the movie Aliens. It's nearly 4 hours long, so I've been watching it in large chunks. I'm an hour and a half in and I'm enjoying it.

It is true that this happens to everyone. But I wanted to post it to a content lacking community. (And as a side hope, I was hoping that someone on here might be willing to share how they mitigate these moments from happening.)

Well dang. Now I want to play Guitar Hero. (GH3 was my favorite by far.)
