Hey folks! Just to let you know the video's finally up for everyone on YouTube.

I'm going to do a lie-in this weekend and then have an update on how other videos are going ASAP. I didn't give proper updates on this video the way I'd have preferred to, in retrospect - it felt really close to being finished for, like, two months, so I waited on updates, since it seemed like it was about to just be done. Thanks for being so patient about this!

I'm never ("and this time, I mean it!") making anything of this length or time-requirement again, so progress reports should come at a sensible pace from now on.

Moving forward, we'll update you on the Brainmind Residency, plans for the next video, and some changes to the structure of the Patreon. Once I wake up.

- Harry

Thanks for the great work, Harry.

Take care of yourself, Harry!

Belachanful

Thanks for yet another banger, rest well!

Glyph

Amazing stuff. Really thought-provoking. Now have a well-earned 36-hour nap!

Nicholas Ehlers

I look forward to hearing from you again in 2023 with a four hour dissection of Jet Force Gemini or something.

Uploaded exactly when I needed a 3hr long video. Ff14 dungeon that I can't skip cutscenes. Edit: I accidentally ran Prae twice and had this going both times. Thank god for Harry.

hypercrab

I hope your Prae or CM run was enjoyable (and that you remembered to use the terminal that lets you drive the Magitek if that applies)

Kae Hanrott

Rewatched your rwby video last week and laughed when you said, at the end, that you would never make a video that long again. It's OK! You have a lot to say about stuff! I don't think anyone is complaining, though I can see it must make the projects beasts to work on. The rwby vid has just ticked over to 4M+ views btw. Nice!

Sedric And Charlie

I've watched the RWBY video three times now. The total amount of RWBY I've ever seen is the Red Trailer, once, and that was only after the third watch-through

Writing the time stamp "stealth" in a smaller font size is just adorable <3

Chaos! YouTube shows the length as 3:33:33 while playing, but 3:33:34 in thumbnail form. How dare they.

Thanks for this! I'm still about halfway through watching the private patreon version, lol. Was there a joke that got cut where you kind of linger on a member of the production team to hit home that there was a, um--gender imbalance? In the staff? I thought that was so funny.

Also: I have a friend who lives in an apartment building in Boston, kind of a slum actually, and the hipster landlords just replaced all the door locks with electric bluetooth locks that can only be unlocked by a smart phone. Never mind that a phone can die and then you're locked out. Never mind that the 1000 problems with the building that actually did need work are still not fixed. At least now it's easy for them to evict people! :( (RE: there are no locks in the future!)

I am just at the police station discussion, but the Alpha/Beta/Omega Personality (Test? Detector?) took me the fuck out. It's late and just as a avid fanfic reader and writer this cracking me up! This video is great, I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts again! Also I have watched and enjoyed a over 5 hour analysis Video about Victorious (a show I never watched), pls make the videos as long as you want to! (I still wondering why their was a random shot from the Nostalgia Critic at the beginning but I guess it will be explained in due time) Great Work !

nomi

my name isn't in the credits. I dmed you about it. can you help?

Dawson Workman

Right at the end of a rewatch! Amazing!

Kat

Hey there! Did you fill out the google form from the last post?

Antipaganda

Great work mate! Entertaining, thoughtful, and thought-provoking as always.

Queen

genuinely joined your patreon explicitly to let you know that there is a huge audience of people who honestly and earnestly love hours-and-hours-long-videos, do not feel bad for pouring your effort into it. this is exactly the type of content i like. i know nothing about these games and do not even play fps. i loved every minute i got to watch of this over the course of 2 days and it was such a comforting relief to have this to return to whenever i needed some good content. amazing work.

Justin Milo

My new favorite past time is playing the Pateron and Public versions in sync to hear the tiny differences! I'm sure the French Canadians appreciate not getting as owned as they did in the Pateron version

Diskane

You made me play Mankind Divided even if I didn't finished Human Revolution. Weird move

Danny F. Mainville

I do not mind long video when it’s videos with intelligent and interesting « contenu » as yours. Nevertheless, that must be asking a lot of work to make those.

Mike Craft

I absolutely understand why you want to stop making such long videos and how the personal cost is so high... but in the spirit of supporting your creative choices, I have watched this multiple times and I still cannot understand how it is 3 hours long. It never feels like the ideas aren't smoothly linked in a continuing narrative, it doesn't ask for a lot of time to establish a context before revealing the reason why, it certainly never lets my attention flag to the point where I'm checking how much time is left, all of which are things I see often in other people's ONE hour videos. I don't know where you could have removed anything, it's all so well assembled.

I'll never complain about long hours of quality video essay to feast on but I re-watched the mirror cut-content after this and it felt like such a neat little package all on its own I immediately realised that if the choice is between one mega video or multiple smaller ones I'd take the smaller/medium sized projects in a heartbeat if it means less time between meals.

Hbomb

I'm aiming for that too! Thanks for mentioning this

Lily Hudson

Just wanted to come on and say that, after watching this video, I decided hey why not play Deus Ex. I'm not really someone who plays games beyond Animal Crossing so its an exciting development. I have a macbook, so the process of installing the game has forced me to learn all kinds of tech magic like installing stuff using a terminal, and generally living my best cyber punk computer hacker life. So, thank you harry.

Gabriel Solon

i sometimes even watch these multiple times, its so good

Michael Sanders

Because I played an embarrassing amount of Enter the Gecko (do what you say??) as a kid, the Gex bit killed me. I didn't get alot of the pop references because of my age at the time, but for some reason I just had a nice time with it. All of your Gex references crack me up.

Atheist Jr.

I have watched this video in full 4 times now
