Today I’ll be connecting the Lovecraftian, adventure game Bloodborne to Rainbow Brite. Yes, that Rainbow Brite. This is another view request episode, proof that I do listen to my viewers. If you have an idea for a connection, leave it in a comment below.

You know that social theory that everyone on earth can be connected to anyone else by no more than 5 intermediaries? They call that 6 Degrees of Separation. I do the same thing here, except I connect video game topics in strange ways using 6 Degrees of Pixelation.

I offer a few thoughts on why people may stop caring about the stuff you create. Specially, the article that inspired this Thoughts On video (Why No One Wants To Hear About The Game You Just Finished Making) references video games, but my thoughts can apply to any creative endeavor where the end goal is more audience members (viewers, players, readers, etc).

I give a few thoughts spurred by an article in Game Informer, issue 281. The article is titled “Full Disclosure: Controversy Erupts Over the Ethics of Sponsored YouTube Influencer Videos.” It touches on some concerns with some YouTube gamers not disclosing their relationships to publishers who pay them to review games.

Today I’ll be connecting Agent 47 from the Hitman series to Kramer from the Seinfeld series. I’m going to avoid the question of Michael Richards’ racism, and I’m also going to be a better person than to go the obvious route of somehow using The Frogger episode as a connection. Come on, I’m better than that (it is a great episode, however).

Today I’ll be connecting Sonic The Hedgehog (yes “The” is capitalized; it’s Sonic’s actual middle name) to Donald Trump. But don’t worry, this isn’t a politically proselytizing episode. I’m simply taking advantage of the politically charged atmosphere here in the US. I’m selfish. Last week I connected Mario to Hillary Clinton. Watch that episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfs2q25WVrg.

Today I’ll be connecting Mario to Hillary Clinton. But don’t worry, this isn’t a politically proselytizing episode. I’m simply taking advantage of the politically charged atmosphere here in the US. I’m selfish. So of course next week, it will be Donald Trump, whom I’ll be connecting to Sonic the Hedgehog.
