Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
If you’re bored during confinement and desperately looking for something fun to watch, I highly recommend the Unraveled series by Brian David Gilbert. The premise if that a very dapper gentleman decides to delve into video game lore in absurd detail to answer questions about them nobody asked as thoroughly as possible, and it’s hilarious.
He also occasionally strays a bit from this premise (like cooking and testing every recipe form Breath of the Wild, creating the perfect Pokérap or improving his own apartment thanks to the Sims) but the important thing is, he always puts a ludicrous amount of research into things no-one should care about, and makes you really care about it.
Here’s the first video, there should be a playlist for the full show on the YouTube page:
And if you don’t wanna watch the whole thing (but you’d be doing yourself a disservice), I have a few recommendations for what I’d consider “must watch”-es:
- Solving the Zelda Timeline in 15 Minutes (the first video and one that gives you a great idea of what to expect);
- Understanding Kingdom Hearts (and every other story);
- How to make a perfect E3 press conference (or drinking game);
- How to tell apart all 596 Fire Emblem characters (first one I saw and one of the funniest IMO. And I say that as someone who hardly knows anything about Fire Emblem);
- I used The Sims to perfect my apartment (I especially love that this one has a very positive morale to it);
- Waluigi, Unraveled.
Hope that’ll help at least brighten your day for some of you. Have fun and stay safe!
