The credits have rolled on South Park: The Fractured But Whole. I’ve made videos in the past that not just insist on the importance of judging a piece of media according to its authorial intent, and to a larger degree, its entire context–even the context of its own lineage–as I’ll discuss more later–but also I’ve made videos that extol the beauty of a piece of media that understands context really, really well. That’s something the South Park television show has always done and South Park: The Fractured But Whole is no different.

Have You Made a Video Game Yet? [VIDEO]
I’ve always loved playing video games. And I’ve always thought about making video games. I’m finally giving it a proper go (but don’t expect much). What about you? Have you ever thought of making your own video game?

Are Pokemon Go Players Being Used? [VIDEO]
Pokemon Go recently announced a new in-game avatar shirt to bring awareness to the United Nations’ Global Goals initiative. My question for you and for Future Caleb is, should video game companies, or any company, promote social issues? What are your thoughts?

Do Easy Modes Ruin Video Games? [VIDEO]
I’m a firm believer in an easy video game. The challenge isn’t what drives me. And that’s what I want to focus on in this video. Video games aren’t simply a vehicle for challenge. And if we can accept that, then the rest of the video should be easy as pie
What are your thoughts on game difficulty? Should games have variable difficulty selections or should games ship with a single difficulty inherent to the experience?

Why Do PewDiePie’s Words Matter (Except for the Obvious Reason, of Course)? | Hey Future Caleb [VIDEO]
Recently, video gamer and YouTube celebrity PewDiePie said some divisive things. But I don’t watch much PewDiePie. I’m not a subscriber. So why do I care? Well, I’m interested in the idea of a person’s “Why” (as described by Simon Sinek), so I’d like to take a slight detour from my normal gaming content to talk about PewDiePie’s “Why.”

Am I afraid to finish NieR: Automata? | Hey Future Caleb [VIDEO]
Recently I learned that I never completed ending E, one of the 26 endings in NieR: Automata, which is apparently considered the official ending. Of course with the discovery that my current favorite game of 2017 has some key unplayed elements, I immediately started playing it again to experience those key unplayed elements…right?
No. I think I have a problem. And this problem may have to do with fear.
