Something Undone

So I was thinking about doing things that nobody else was doing, and I was thinking about how TTDECBA was/is something that only I could do, and I was thinking about YouTube videos in the context of doing things nobody else does, because there's so much on YouTube that's just noise; vouching for that coming from a man here who's seen just about every reaction video to the teaser to a trailer to a movie... anybody can do a reaction video, and does, and so-- it's the opposite of what I was thinking about, that of course being, doing things nobody else is doing (not even necessarily can do, but is doing at all.) 

Not as many people are doing board game reviews as film reviews, so that's a good start, but... going deeper, there's also a lot of video essays on movies, and a few on books and stuff, which fewer people (but still a lot) are doing; I don't think anybody's doing video essays on board games. 

There might be an, opening in there somewhere. If you want to use it, Andrew you've got a YouTube account that people watch, like, that Scotland yard video has almost 10,000 views, pretty impressive, I'd say for sure above average in terms of views, given how many videos on YouTube don't get watched at all and all that. And you've got, obviously, stuff already about board games, so it fits. So.

I was thinking, specifically, breaking down different applications of mechanics, like worker placement, show Tzolkin next to Caverna, or even Agricola next to Caverna, or whatever, and show how minor variations in the applications of mechanics lead to two different games, and what each difference means for like metagame. There's just a wealth of stuff there, it's possible to mine, and nobody's mining. You're welcome. Now I don't have to get you anything for Christmas.

But seriously, there's just sooo many video essays about movies...
