Welcome to Through the Looking Glass, where I take a look on old but classic games that I've played little if any of to see if they still hold up. In this video, I take a look at the sequel to one of the most innovative fps of its time: Half-Life 2.

I made the foolish decision to try and be effective in the newest Tavern Brawl. Hilarity and salt ensued.

League of Legends is one of the most popular games in the world, and yet at times it seems like the balancing is among the worst. Let's talk about why we stay with this game within the context of a concept called perfect imbalance.

In which I look at old games which I haven't played before to see if they hold up. This time around, I'm taking a personal trip into the sequel for a game I played a lot of as a child: Shining Force 2.

I knew that I would inevitably forget some sort of detail or other when I made my Nami guide, so whenever there are significant changes that I would like to address, I will collect them into a smaller video and talk about them there. If enough changes happen to where a good portion of my old guide might be invalid or outdated, I will consider releasing a new version when that happens. I've got more guides planned, and now that I've got a better video editor I can fragment them to where I can easily replace sections that become outdated.

Another year is fast coming to an end, so as we see to what remains, let's talk about what you can expect from the channel going into the next.
my initial reaction to the Advance Wars remaster: https://youtu.be/B-6RTKH-tFg
TL;DW: the monthly schedule will be coming to an end, due to the fact that it left very little flexibility on how long I could spend on topics. To that end, there will not be a review to end the year, but what I was planning on discussing (Valkyria Chronicles 4) will be made into an hour+ review next year. As for what to expect, the priority will be any immediate interest, such as the Valkyria Chronicles 4 review, followed by the long-term projects, which as of right now will be on compiling the existing videos on Halo: The Master Chief collection into a single video, alongside discussing the story at length. If you wish to see the progress being made, then the best place for that will be the community tab of this channel, as I'll post monthly progress updates to let you know how far along a give subject is.

We often hear a somewhat odd debate come up about whether video games classify as "art." Rather than just waxing lyrical, let's focus on how a game can be examined as a work of art by looking at an example.
