what's with this netflix generation that can't handle any information exceeding a 15 minute timeframe anymore?

The thing is 2 hours+, which is more than many movies. Cmon man that's long. Besides, there are people who would watch it, but still think it'd be better broken up.

Apart from the rushed final part, the flow was pretty good and I enjoyed the fact that my watching experience wasn't interrupted every few minutes with a request to subscribe to the channel, followed by an amateurish intro and a recap of what I've seen just seconds before.
But oh well, as soon as he figures out how the youtube partnership program generates the most revenue, he'll surely transitions to those videolets, too.

Fuck making shorter videos. One of my favourite videos is Mathewmatosis 6 hour Dark Souls commentary. It's not like you're making a top 10 list of Apple apps for teens, these are kinda serious videos and I appreciate being able to watch them in one piece.

On the other hand, I started watching the Looking Glass retrospective yesterday and fell asleep so there's that. I'll finish it today.

Rather than shorten it I would have made it readable instead of watchable.

It does not really lend itself to the video format all that well. In fact I dare say it has little to no benefit at all. I would have been able to read all the information in a fraction of the time it takes to watch the video.

On the other hand, showing how combat works, for instance, doesn't lend itself to the text format.

It's really cool that he collected/recorded all those gameplay fragments.

Lack of free time bro. Hard to sit your ass down for 2 uninterrupted hours in a row.
