This is one of my favorite videos of all time, perhaps even surpassing Watch for Rolling Rocks in 0.5x A Presses (although obviously not as iconic). It just perfectly scratches that itch of someone using a combination of technical skill and lateral thinking to complete an absurd video game challenge, all presented by an even-keeled narrator with clear visualizations and a bit of humor sprinkled in. I think I've watched it half a dozen times at this point--it's my "comfort food" for when I'm having trouble sleeping.
Kind of amazing that the very first video the creator has put out is such a banger, not just in terms of content but in terms of production value. He did say that he'd be making another video, so I'll be looking forward to that--tough act to follow, though, not unlike Watch for Rolling Rocks.
Can anyone recommend any channels/videos along the same lines? I've devoured the following:
- All of pannenkoek's videos (both commentated and uncommentated)
- bad_boot's Enter the Secret Aquarium in 0x A Presses
- All of Bismuth's videos
- All of Pikasprey's Softlock Picking videos (tbh while some of these can be interesting, they're not really in the same ballpark...more just something to take the edge off)
- Many of Crystal_'s Pokemon glitch videos (again, interesting, but no voice commentary and not as grand in scale--mostly just straightforward glitch documentation)
- All of Lowest Percent's videos
- All of Retro Game Mechanics Explained's videos (okay only a few of his videos are remotely related but holy crap, easily some of the highest quality videos on the net if you're into detailed technical breakdowns of retro games/consoles and absolutely top-notch visualizations)
gamechamp3000 has some great ones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK6ub-Z7snI&list=PLfDC5d996dRH4StrfmU1SEqXjhpstgoML&index=57
