THE UNFINISHED SWAN | Art is Never Finished - a video essay

[@rileytrader9472]

Glad I’m not the only one. Great vid, bud. Think I’ll finally start making that short film I’ve been wanting to do.

[@sephirothbal]

its like christmas every time you post

[@Allegedlyconscious]

Was worried you wouldn’t post again. Last time you posted, I was going through a pretty bad breakup. The lollipop chainsaw video made me laugh for the first time in a while, so thank you. You’re criminally underrated, and I hope you find all the success in this that you deserve.

[@bluvenn9610]

Geez- it feels weird to feel so connected to another person due a video essay on a game I personally haven't played but it does feel oddly nice to know I'm know alone in these feelings about creation, despite my wants to finish more pieces of art it always feels unfinished. I'm rambling. You make lovely videos and you've 100% gained a new subscriber. Thank you for making me feel less alone in a way I didn't know I needed.

[@lancealot1235]

your channel is criminally underrated

[@sllverchariot]

alright im returning again to comment after finishing the video. it genuinely feels like such a privilege to have found this channel while its still so small, every video you make feels so personal and vulnerable and its so refreshing. i do selfishly hope you post more frequently, but i hope that you do it because You want to and not for any other reason. anyways thank you for another excellent video im always on the edge of my seat to see what else you have to say

[@liamfoulger5013]

I love your videos and hope you're doing well. It's so cool to see someone else who loves Tim Rogers as well

[@justavideoboy]

Oh thank you! And I'm so sorry you're a fan of two creators who REFUSE to upload on a regular basis. VIDEO GAMES FOREVER!

[@LuckyAthedia]

I have a very distinct memory of standing at one of those demo kiosks in the electronics department of a store and playing some of the Unfinished Swan and then resigning myself to never getting to play it because I didn't have a PS3. It is such a distinct memory because I usually never used those kiosks because why bother, I couldn't play most of those games anyway.

[@all-aroundhelper]

Ah sweet more Unfinished Swan and I remember playing this on the PS3 and it was so fun to play and I loved the Journey reference within it.

[@joshchamber9]

I haven't watched the video yet, but I just know this is gonna be a banger! And I'm SO GLAD that you're talking about The Unfinished Swan, one of my personal favorite video game gems to come out!

[@Princemouse9]

Releasing works deemed unfinished is fine, and if that comes with pain then pain is just gonna have to be okay too. Bla bla death of the artist bla bla. This video is a gift, and I just wanted to say thank you for sending your art into the ether.

[@tristen6651]

I swear every time I remember your channel and watch your older videos to fall asleep, you do your yearly upload😂

[@ZeloinatorZ]

Really great video, truly I always know its going to be an amazing video when you post!

[@alextalker5979]

31:39 ...is that you, Isaac? :D

[@justavideoboy]

Listen... this comment, YOUR comment has broken me. I set myself up for A GOLDEN OPPERTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT THE BINDING OF ISAAC AND I POOPED IT, I could've made a joke that this game is like the non-emo younger brother to BOI, or like a this game is a Hallmark produced prequal to BOI, or like this game is BOI from a much less emotionally damaged POV perspective. IT WOULD"VE BEEN AWESOME! Missed opportunity I tell ya... But thank you for pointing out this unintended reference. And for seeing what I couldn't, you get a gold star ⭐! Don't spend it all in one place.

[@alextalker5979]

@@justavideoboy No problem, thank you for the video, I played only the next game Giant Sparrow did so maybe I'll check it out one day :D

[@GenericLoser12]

[@marcischneider9093]

This is beautiful.

[@goejomez4213]

I love this game so much

[@sllverchariot]

everyone shut up just a video boy posted a new video

[@LB_]

21:10 oh, I thought you altered the audio for copyright reasons, that's how it actually sounded for you? In other playthrougs of the game on KZbin the audio is nice and clear, maybe something weird happened to your copy of the game? For example Keith Ballard's playthrough has noticeably cleaner audio than your recording.

[@justavideoboy]

Huh. That's really weird. Thank you for bringing that up! I just watched a few playthrough's and all of them had WAY better audio on the narrator. I need to make a note to be more thorough next time... 🤔 GRIPE REDACTED! LB you get a gold star! ⭐ Use it wisely.
