The Game Overanalyser
This video is an analysis of the design and hidden meaning of Pac-man. Video games are fundamentally a symbolic medium, and so in this video, I aim to use an entertaining way to introduce semiotics and how it can help us read games in their pure language. I go over the design, the ai and the symbolically encoded meaning of pac man , and how it transformed our industry in numerous ways.

Good job, sir. So much information, condensed and to the point, it reminds me a bit of the Game Theory channel. Definitely gonna check your other videos :).
here from black mirror
Nice video, however I felt like some pictures that you used could've been in higher quality. Some were very pixelated. I'm sure there are thousands of HD stock pictures on google of most of the poor quality pictures you used.

Thanks for existing and making these videos. Please keep it up, this medium and community needs you.
Nice video, but I lost respect for you when you refered to Link as Zelda.
The ghosts that chase Mario are interesting
My opinion is that the ghosts are reality the dots are us feeding on life doing nothing but getting jobs making money and stuff its stupid are existence is pointless its loop of the same shit we thrive on new stuff but we have never seen the bigger picture so why am i still here writing this comment why are you reading it i could explain alot of my opinions that will hopefully make you realise that are existence is futile we just going to die are planet will be gone in a few million years life is an illusion it is stupid we say all this stuff about space and stuff like ih there mire universes its total bullshit this isnt even a universe there was never a big bang or theres no gods dna was created not just bang its there thats why we are here because of dna meteors fell down too this planet and this place that we called earth had oxygen food everything if we didnt come to this planet we wouldnt exist
Pac man is just a game its not symbolic of anything dude calm down you're looking way too far into it
Excuse me ZELDA GETS HIS HORSE HIS NAME IS LINK DAMMIT
