Brian Antonelli Awesome video, thanks Destin! Call me crazy, but I would love to see a video just on how you produced the radar. :)

Jason VandenBerghe This was AWESOME. And, it might seem like a little thing, but thanks for the Patreon shout-out. Somehow made it real that we're all doing this. :P

Correctrix Well done. I originally watched that video and found her voice so grating that I could only get a few minutes in. You took one for the team there.

i❤computers Already my fav epi!!! I say that cause POVs were a big thing among the maker community. Heck, we even added them to the spoke of our bikes (www.ladyada.net/make/spokepov). Seeing that moving average visualized and graphed and applying a POV video effect on that high-speed footage finally brought to light the illusion makers were exploiting all these years :D

Kyle Sayers Super awesome video! What I love about Destin is that he's learning with us. It's not a lecture that glosses over a bunch of stuff, but a real human who gets excited, just like we do. Keep doing what you do :)

Hugesinker I'm looking forward to seeing this when I can. Her latest video really troubled me; more than most others in the series. Maybe because here she goes as far as to condemn a game even for featuring tasteful vintage Playboy nudes. The motivations that she attaches to these game characters, to the game developers, and to society at large, after she divorces characters completely from their original, individual story contexts and inserts her own generalized one, is loaded with the worst kind of psychological baggage imaginable. It usually clashes with the actual context and it isn't even self-consistent. If these views were presented as simply her general, honest impression-- as an individual having an open discussion with the community on YouTube; it wouldn't bother me so much. Though I would still pity her misanthropy. The real problem is that her analysis here is intended to be considered authoritative and widely esteemed as a valuable part of the broader academic study of sociology. It is intended to be shown in college classrooms by respected professors; presented not as someones biased opinion, but as something that has withstood professional rigor in keeping with and building upon well established concepts in an analytical framework that has achieved mainstream acceptance.

noelplum99 One of the issues I discuss in part 2 is just this very issue of the unsupported yet authoratative nature of her assertions in this video. She segues from factual narrative simply narrating the clips we are being shown to highly speculative hypothesising with no suggestion that we have left the realm of undisputed observation and entered highly contentious and contended territories.

Correctrix That's basically how I see all of her videos. They're kind of "This character is called X and is female. She's depicted with long hair, which is typical. This backdrop is blue. There's a lot of that. This thing has some pixels in. All to be expected in our society, where women are slaves." It's assertion after assertion that is incontrovertible in itself, but leaves the viewer wondering at what man-hating point she's getting at, and then she throws in some crazy ideological assertion that confirms the wondering.

noelplum99 Look out for my pm, link for early access to part 2 :) PS loved this - "She's depicted with long hair, which is typical. This backdrop is blue. There's a lot of that. This thing has some pixels in. All to be expected in our society, where women are slaves." That is how a lot of it sounds to me, describing the mundane and expected as if she is unveiling something we are all anticipated to gasp at.
