[@TrashPanda_YT]

For those who did not know, the name of "The Magic Circle" does have meaning. The "magic circle" is a theory that applies to any sort of game, Physical or Digital, And can be most related to a contract with the game. It is the rules that it or you set out and your ability to follow them, often for the sake of enjoyment. For example: When you play Uno with your family and everyone agrees that you can stack similar cards, you and your family enter into a Magic Circle. Now with this information and the context of the game you can see how this name fits. "The Magic circle" is a game that has yet to be given rules, There is no Magic Circle, So you make your own by messing with the code and putting it together, All just to enjoy the game. If you want to learn more on The Magic Circle as a concept, I highly recommend "How Inscryption Toys With You" by Daryl Talks Games. He goes more in-depth on how it works by using the magic circle of the game "Inscryption" as an example. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

[@eden3669]

ohhh huh im kinda curious where the name comes from, since it kinda reminds me of the idea of a summoning circle something where a character would summon a demon and they're bound by a set of rules and/or a contract ...except instead of a demon, the game "summons" _you_

[@JosephJoeseph]

Kojima's 4th wall breaks don't always work for me but seeing Old Snake's psyche meter go up and down in cutscenes always makes me smile and Snake casually pointing at his bandana and saying 'infinite ammo' out of nowhere actually made me laugh out loud, it was so unexpected.

[@eden3669]

oh wow, suddenly something in this one OTHER game makes sense now in enter the gungeon, theres an item called "ancient hero's bandanna" that quadruples the max ammo capacity for all your guns (reserve ammo, not clip size) and the wiki page says its a metal gear solid reference, but i never really understood it until right now (sidenote, its 4x and technically not infinite, but due to the way gungeon's ammo works its still insanely strong and usually feels like you have infinite ammo anyway)

I am floored by this channel. FUNKe's script and delivery is so good that he doesn't need the animation. This channel is witty enough to succeed with a shitty still-image rantsona, yet FUNKe crafts us a whole cartoon's worth of visual flare with every upload. The passion of this man is inspiring. Also, the subjects of discussion are always unique and interesting as well. This man really does just pick apart with full genuineness random shit he finds interesting about so-and-so video games.

[@castle9165]

2:02 “L’appel du vide” means “the call of the void”. You know when you’re walking near the edge of a cliff and you think about jumping off, so you get scared? That’s “l’appel du vide”. General consensus is that it’s there so we don’t randomly jump and off ourselves. You’re brain literally scares you out of it.

Probably the best "rantsona" to date with that stellar animation and your voice flows seamlessly from voicing a character moving around to a narrator of game footage. Subscribed.

[@LotsofLatte]

One game that perfectly fits in this genre that deserves more recognition is Anodyne by Analgesic Productions. It's a bit spoilers to say, but the game largely plays like a normal Zelda-style action puzzle adventure until you get a literal "game breaking" item that's required to find all the secrets and complete the game proper by exploring outside the confines of the game's wall tiles. It's extremely cool and worth looking into.

[@eboatwright_]

Human Fall Flat also has a message. In the Mountain level, if you jump out of the house's far window and grab on to the tree, the narrator says "Just what do you think you're doing, laddy?"

[@Nexavolt]

Is that supposed to be a good thing? When small indie game characters are obsessed over and seen as people’s pfps all the damn time it kinda repels me from those games, as stupid as it sounds. For instance, One Shot, A Hat in Time, Undertale, and Celeste are all games that I bet are good, I just don’t want to play them because the fans seem way too attached to it and make it their personality. Well, not all fans, but a big enough percentage that it makes me uncomfortable.

​@@SmoothTurtle840 It is a good thing. It might be tempting to reject what is popular for the sole reason of it being popular, but you're really doing yourself a disservice by not at least trying them. Good things getting popular is a good thing. It means more money for the developer (meaning more/better games down the line, and potentially updates/DLC for the game), more fan content to enjoy, more people to discuss something you like, more people being inspired by it to make their own things, and the only two downsides are that there are weirdos you can ignore, and you can't think you're special for having played a niche game.

You can't wait for him to blow up? Well, what are you waiting for?! Just light the fuse atop his head!

Jesus Christ the way you animate is outstanding and I LOVE the way you talk omfg

[@KhanHighProwess]

Your channel is amazing, I'm so glad I found it.

[@kryptic0008]

Your videos are always a treat, but I think what's consistently my favorite part is how inventive you get with animating and utilizing your character. Using the fuse as a headset mic in particular was just SO clever, I adore stuff like that. Keep up the great work!

Literally going through game dev school right now and am trying to make teachers and students aware of how magic "The Magic Circle" truly is.

Goddamn man you really flexing with the animation now. The fact you have that on top of your excellent, unique analysis videos is just *chefs kiss*
