    I had to double take when I saw this one pop up on my YouTube homepage. I've been watching a lot of "Entire x series reviewed" type videos in the background during some rote tasks so I have a lot of gaming recommendations right now. I saw this thumbnail earlier and thought nothing much of it.

    Then I noticed what channel it was. Folding Ideas hasn't posted a video in months and he moved on from gaming content years ago. His only gaming content has been his PAX talks. Since then he's been busy covering a bunch of bigger, and fascinating subjects, including singlehandedly killing NFTs with his Line Goes Up video. Him stepping back into games is interesting enough but I'm excited to check this video out because on top of his usual extremely comprehensive study and analysis, this was the single worst Call of Duty game in the series for the longest time (until the new MW3 took that dishonour). I'm excited to have someone of his calibre take this particular game apart.

      idk, Why It's Rude to Suck At Warcraft may have technically come out a couple years ago, but it's one of his more recent videos given the pace at which he uploads (it came out after Line Goes Up)....

      idk, Why It's Rude to Suck At Warcraft may have technically come out a couple years ago, but it's one of his more recent videos given the pace at which he uploads (it came out after Line Goes Up). And that's if you don't count the Decentraland content as being about gaming. I wouldn't characterize him as having moved on from gaming content at all; it just hasn't been the focus of his last four or five videos.

      He gave two recent PAX talks that I've seen recordings of, and iirc one of them was about Call of Duty: Ghosts, so I'm interested in seeing how he's refined it for a video!

        But particularly relevant this week, he recently gave a talk on the trolling culture specific to fans of the (at the time) unconfirmed and unreleased game Silksong....

          This is the other talk I watched and it was really funny lol! I doubt it'll be getting its own video like the Call of Duty: Ghosts one, but imo it was also much more fun to watch the recording.

    I laughed every single time he used that "POV getting kicked in the face" clip as a title screen for a chapter. The comic timing is flawless.

    A Trump rally actually appearing on screen after the audio was mixed in, was too much. On the other hand, the game's attempted racist dick joke was just right.
