I was so exited to play this and the let down was huge

very underated video essay. very professionally made. thank you!

Great video keep up the good work

I've seen dark years ago, still I think to it daily, even just for a second. Truly marvelous masterpiece.

I have not finished yet but still going to watch

Great video man I really enjoyed it! - Someone who found firewatch recently and is in love with it

Thank you for this masterpiece , great job mate

great bideo

Yes. They did run out of time. Or, they just didn't know how to end it. Great game, terrible ending. And we, in denial, try to excuse it with some superficial meta reasoning, all because we loved everything before.

Dude, you killed this. Everything from the writing to the editing is terrific. I was looking for inspiration to write about Firewatch and you’ve totally blown me away. Excellent work my friend!

Great video!

I cannot wait to rewatch Dark. Even the first time though i could tell its a show that would benefit enormously from a rewatch. But first ive just gotta wait till i emotionally recover from the series finale. Should only take a few months/ years till that happens.

This is one of the best analyses on Dark. Amazing video.

This is criminally underrated broooo.

Insane how you don't have more subscribers. I'm honoured to be one of your first

This Video Essay is so good! I have been periodically rewatching this video since you posted the link in the subreddit... Great narration Jake!

Holy shit, this was made so well! It really got me to think after watching the video, and the way the video ended was great! I went to send it to a friend and like the vid when I realized how little subscribers you had. Honestly really underrated video (as much as that get's said around youtube) and you definitely deserve more subs! 👍

I know it's kind of a stretch, but you can apply Knox's rules for detective fiction to this series, excluding 2nd 3rd and 4th rules of course (but the paranormal things are made obvious from the very beginning and are one of the main mysteries). I was wondering if the 1st rule does apply because Tannhaus would need to appear in any form in the first season, but would you look at that! He's literally the first person we hear, and it might even be the one that's responsible for creation of the two worlds.

One thing I find interesting is that most commentators assume they never see each other. Yes, it's unlikely they will ever be together and have a relationship. But the helicopter trip is a short one. Delilah especially is going to have to "answer a lot of questions", so I doubt she will be finished when Henry gets there. He will have no problem finding her. Maybe Delilah blows him off when he approaches her, but she doesn't seem that cold. So the idea that they will never meet is a stretch.

Nice! Personally, I also like Mikkels skeleton costume. A nod to the fact that he is already dead in his timeline. His disappearance and his admiration for Houdini. And Ulrich's "no future" graffiti.

This is an excellent video, I have watched for a lot of times, also related to this game deeply

Ahh, I love Firewatch and this ending, great essay, thanks!

This only has 400 views wtf this deserves so much more! Great video man! Also, for anyone who enjoys watching shows like this that have that limited perspective at but it gradually expands as the show goes on and then rewatching it a second time seems like a whole different show, I'd recommend watching Attack on Titan in you haven't already

One of my all time favorite games. Beautiful story and scenery. Great characters. Perfect length, perfect ending (yet I too, was disappointed... But I understood why).

Fantastic video, I agree. There was a lot of speculation and theories. About who Delilah was talking to that one time on the radio early on, or her connection with Ned or anything. Whether the fan speculation was intended by the devs or a beautiful coincidence, I think it's great. This game makes you speculate, our brains default to imagine a bigger picture. But it's not. There's not some hidden lore, it's just face value. It's just about a lost husband wanting escape. There's no government, it's just a sad man. This game had such a realistic, brute impact on me that I'll never stop talking about it. It's one of my favorite short stories. In the span of a few hours, it did what most others games can't. It had a link between the characters escape and reality and yours. It left you alone. With nothing but a memory. I remember being really upset when I couldn't see Delilah. I wanted to see her so badly. It tore my heart man, and I was playing with my gf lol. Just shows how amazing this game is.

This was amazing. Your voice is very soothing. Thank you!

I never thought Jonas was the bad guy in season 1 he seemed sad not ominous. Love the vid thanks!

3:46 The "Latin chant music" is not Latin, but rather vowels and consonants. It's the 2nd movement of the "Partita for E8 Voices" by Caroline Shaw. The entire work is worth listening.

this is such an insightful video!!!! you're very observant! watching this was very fun:)

This should have a lot more views; it's a very good breakdown of all the foreshadowing going on in even a single episode.

awesome essay man, loved the incorporation of freud and the book about comics

Great analysis! Loved the Tribute video too. Such an amazing show.

While they were floating away all I kept thinking is...We are stardust

Thanx for making a super cool video of world's best tv show ever I couldnt stop my tears watching this video. All of these amazing moments were coming to my mind. I could never unlove DARK.

This is fantastic. Thank you for this video.

That's exactly my take on the game.

This is beautiful you’ve captured it all so well - such a mind blowing series !

aghhh this video is sosososo good :,) u did amazing talk abt this!!

The youtube algorithm will bring us all together 🙏 But fr this is a great video

Im proud to be german and being able to watch this masterpiece in the original audio. Favorite show by far and awesome video !

Well done! This hit me in the feels.

Wonderful pairing.

Thanks for the tears in my eyes :)

This is good

Wow this was great, keep it up man!

I liked the way fire watch kind of just nudged you along the story, I thought the pacing was pretty nice and it did a really great job with the presentation. Awesome job on the video by the way!

Please keep making videos like this, you'll blow up some day

Your voice is great for this type of stuff! Enjoyed this a lot, keep it up!

Great video man, really enjoyed watching. I would love it if you did walkthroughs on different games or keep doing what your doing!
