Let's Nerd Out! Part 2 of 2: Books, Video Games & Movies, Oh My! [ ASMR ]

[@rad.trauma]

As somebody who works in a library I have to say it is really appreciated when people openly recommend and support using public libraries. The library I work at is packed almost every single day but still so many people believe that libraries are dying out. I think it is especially important for kids to have access to a library as it promotes tons of development in not just reading skills but social skills as well. I never really had an appreciation for books until I started working in a library. It truly is an amazing place that everyone should have the chance to visit.

[@keeby4]

I used to go every month or so. I used to grab a captain underpants and go find a quiet spot and read.

Absolutely loved this, love seeing Rift's nerdy side. I remember staying the night at a friend's house, and he had a kid brother, probably around five or six at the time. My mate fell asleep, and I was still wide awake, and I went walking around the house, and found a load of the kid's books downstairs, as I believe his parents had read to him downstairs to make him fall asleep and put him to bed (as like most kids, you put 'em in PJ's, and the little bastards suddenly go into overdrive). I sat there and read all the books, and loved it. Something about reconnecting with the kid I used to be, reading quite a few familiar stories was a really pleasant and calming experience. Tl;dr: You're never too old to read a kid's book. Also, wee little side note, and this is not meant to sound rude or bitchy or anything at all, but Christine's surname in Phantom is pronounced 'die-ay'. Just trying to save you from any potential faux pas. Don't want Rift looking like a goof, when we know he's a wise sage.

With all that you're into, it's really surprising you don't own Pan's Labyrinth. It's kind of got the horror and beautiful fantasy seamlessly blended together. Seems like it would be right up your alley. And I don't think you'd mind the subtitles, as it's in Spanish.

[@4Deadserious]

This is an accurate comment.

[@GamePhysics]

Most people with English as their first language can't bare to focus on subtitles while playing/watching something.

[@lTheFireWithinl]

+GamePhysics that is such a sadly accurate statement.

[@GamePhysics]

[@GamePhysics]

***** In case it's a little unclear what they're saying because of background noise or something, you can always read it if you have subtitles on.

I saw Phantom of the Opera last month on stage and it was a truly amazing experience. I'd never been to a play before that and I was blown away by the entire thing.

[@DazeDream]

The Blade Runner game for PC was an amazing point and click detective adventure. It was very true to the movie, and allowed you to explore the world and try to identify replicants. It had many multiple outcomes based on choices you had to make in the game. I think it came out in the late 90's.

[@FiVeHero]

When i was young (5years old) i watched spirited away so often and i still love this film! It isn't a normal film its complete different the other films!

Er: Gets out Star Wars: "I wasn't really a fan of the first 3..." Me: you were the chosen one!! Er: ....phantom menace, attack of the clones, and revenge of the sith. Original trilogy is the best. Me: a surprise to be sure but a welcome one.

[@erlik420]

ROTS is the best SW movie

[@s.storumus8620]

NeonWolfen I have said this before and I will say it again: you can like the prequels, but you can't say with a straight face the ROTS is better than the original trilogy. You may like it more than the originals, but in filmmaking wise it is just untrue. Every exposition scene is shot and blocked in a bland way, there is even more CGI, the acting still isn't good. It is miles better than Menace and Clones, but it isn't as good as the original 3. Honestly I can relate to liking something that is underrated. Chamber of Secrets is my favourite Harry Potter movie, but I can admit that Prisoner of Azkaban is the best, even though Chamber is my personal favourite. But ROTS is isn't as good as the originals in film language. Watch the Mr Plinkett review of ROTS, specifically the part where he talks about cinematography and visual symbolism. You may not agree with his opinion of the movie, but you can't honestly say that it is BETTER than the originals.

Neil Druckman and Bruce Staley were the creative leads with Uncharted 4, The Last of Us, and Uncharted 2. Bruce focused on the game play aspects of it while Neil did the story side, although I'm not sure he wrote Uncharted 2, I think that was Amy Henning, not sure.

[@jacksoncordray1593]

rift, I fuckin love you man! you're honestly the type of person I aspire to be later on in the progression of my life. you show me that even adults like yourself can be nerdy, and adding that to you having the same tastes in music as I do, so I hope you see this message, and I hope it makes you smile, because your videos do every day! :)

The Henson creature shop is still alive and well. A lot of the stuff in the new Star Wars movie was creature shop. And they've been talking about a sequel to both Labyrinth and Dark Crystal. I was just watching Dark Crystal last night, considering re-scoring a scene from it for a song writing challenge over the summer.

Shroud 42 I prefer the tone of Bloodborne, is creepier

[@shroud4296]

+ExKorpio it is certainly creepier, but to me dark souls had more variety. like theres a lot of dark derelict towns that bloodbourne does so well, but theres also a lush green forest and a massive golden city. Also there was a distinct lack of massive fuck off dragons in bloodbourne XD

[@calebjohnson3032]

You are my favorite "ASMR-tist." You are very different from others who make asmr videos. Most make basic and simple role plays for eye exams and ear exams. You make very interesting videos, with very unique characters and plots. I really like your "Deep One Dave" and "Professor Clemmons" videos. Keep up the good work!👍🏼

[@RAVENKING26]

+Ephemeral Rift you should do a Ghostbusters ASMR, you know when Peter Vankman is interviewing the girl and the guy. The cards thing. I think it would give tons of tingles.

[@klonvomhaus]

I loved always when my parents read books with me. I still remember those times. I also enjoyed it, when my parents quit doing it, when my grandma sat down on my bed to read for me. It was always calming and special. And if you read quietly it's something of an ASMR-Session. But what I think is important: Share the things you love with your children. If you enjoy horror books, try to find a (not-so-much-)horror book suited for children. I was actually thinking about it when you started talking about it... If I knew any horror books for children, and what such a book would look like (what I had to be careful about when attempting to write one). Children react to emotions, and if you are boored with the book, your children will not like it. Read them something you can enthusiastically enjoy a couple of times. And man... That must be one of the joys of parenthood people like to talk so much about.

[@rideroffamine]

I would absolutely love it if, when The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild comes out, you made an ASMR gameplay series of it. Please. That game seems perfectly suited for that.

Horror started with the grimm fairy tales, improved with poe and hit its peak with mr. Lovecraft. I highly recommend reading cormacs works if you ever get the spare time since your interested in the road (since its been over a year I'm not sure if you've gotten to that one yet).
