I might have uncovered a secret about Silent Hill 2 that nobody noticed before. Even if my theory is not true, it still fits the game pretty well.

This video is not just a theory video. It is the first in a series of videos where I hope to present the academic value of video game narratives. In my ideal future, video game stories will be given the same attention and respect by scholars as books and films. This is my first argument in favor of this ideal.

Living on the spectrum is difficult, and I don't think people appreciate what it's truly like. This is the seventh part of a series of videos where I discuss the various symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome (high-functioning autism) and give examples from my own life regarding what it's like to live with AS.

Modus Operandi:

Whether you have a personal relationship with somebody who has AS, or you’ve only met an AS sufferer once, I hope these videos will help you appreciate the true difficulty of living with the syndrome. I am doing these videos not because I am seeking pity… I am not seeking pity. Please do not go out of your way to offer it. I am doing this because I know there are a lot of young boys and girls who have the syndrome and do not know they have it.

I wasn’t diagnosed with AS until I was 18, and being undiagnosed can lead to confusing, embarrassing, and sometimes traumatic experiences… experiences which are not just unique to me. In fact, they afflict the majority of people who have AS. If I had known when I was younger that I had the syndrome, I could have saved myself a lot of grief and lived a much more fulfilling, productive life. That’s not to say I don’t lead a happy life now… but I think we can all agree that by addressing these types of problems earlier, we can spend much more of our life feeling fulfilled and feeling productive, especially considering we have such a short time on this planet.

Shoutout to JBP for introducing me to this book. If you ever wanted to understand the mindset of a troll, and how to maybe deal with them when you encounter them online, this book (written over 150 years ago, mind you) provides some useful tips!

TIMECODES:

Intro: 0:00 - 2:29
Synopsis: 2:29 - 5:58
Character Analysis: 5:58 - 8:54
Criticism of Utopia: 8:54 - 11:15
Do We Have Free-Will?: 11:15 - 14:40
The Mindset of a Troll: 14:40 - 15:57

TL;DR

Like the average Internet troll, the lead character in Dostoevsky's "Notes From Underground" has an acute level of consciousness, which allows him to perceive every thought, action, and event from every conceivable angle. A potential product of this acute consciousness is having life's tragedy, and people's indifference to it, wreck your soul. Another potential product is the exaltation that one receives through suffering, exemplified to the greatest extent by people like Viktor Frankl and Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn.

Living on the spectrum is difficult, and I don't think people appreciate what it's truly like. This is the fifth part of a series of videos where I discuss the various symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome (high-functioning autism) and give examples from my own life regarding what it's like to live with AS.

YES, I am a HUGE FAN of Spyro the Dragon. Been playing it since I developed consciousness. Though I do videos on games all the time, I don't normally do "reviews". For Spyro, however, I need to make an exception. Should you pick up the Reignited Trilogy? Listen on and find out.

YOU RIPPED MY SHIRT!

There are parts in the first half of this video that might seem a bit far-fetched. I encourage everybody to stay at least until half-way through the video, because then my assertions begin to make sense.

This was a really cool movie. I'm very glad I watched it. If you know somebody who has not seen it (and is a cinephile like me), find someway to get them to watch it.

While it is not necessary, I strongly recommend you watch part 1 of this series to get the most out of what I am about to say. I'll link to the video down below.

This is the second part of a two-part series where I address the Half-Life franchise's biggest mysteries. If you have any dissent or extra thoughts to offer along with my analysis, please leave them in the comment section below!

Living on the spectrum is difficult, and I don't think people appreciate what it's truly like. This is the fourth part of a series of videos where I discuss the various symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome (high-functioning autism) and give examples from my own life regarding what it's like to live with AS.

Modus Operandi:

Whether you have a personal relationship with somebody who has AS, or you’ve only met an AS sufferer once, I hope these videos will help you appreciate the true difficulty of living with the syndrome. I am doing these videos not because I am seeking pity… I am not seeking pity. Please do not go out of your way to offer it. I am doing this because I know there are a lot of young boys and girls who have the syndrome and do not know they have it.

I wasn’t diagnosed with AS until I was 18, and being undiagnosed can lead to confusing, embarrassing, and sometimes traumatic experiences… experiences which are not just unique to me. In fact, they afflict the majority of people who have AS. If I had known when I was younger that I had the syndrome, I could have saved myself a lot of grief and lived a much more fulfilling, productive life. That’s not to say I don’t lead a happy life now… but I think we can all agree that by addressing these types of problems earlier, we can spend much more of our life feeling fulfilled and feeling productive, especially considering we have such a short time on this planet.

I LOVE METAL GEAR, but nothing is perfect. In honor of the craptacular release of Metal Gear Survive, I thought it would be a nice little experiment to talk about things from the franchise that I thought did not work so well.

Honorable Mentions:

- Making the actual Patriots Big Boss' former team
- Explaining everything with nanomachines in MGS4
- The lack of relatable villains past MGS2
- Making Johnny Sasaki an actual character in MGS4

Problems Other People Had That I Don't Have:

- The story of MGS5
- The "twist" in MGS5

Since all of you have left so many comments, I thought I'd address some of them in a video (specifically criticisms, but also some general questions as well)!
