Over the past 5 months, my editing style for this YT video has slowly gone from "Silly, but classy" and veered straight into "We getting fired anyway Ernie" territory

Not content with making mediocre remixes of legendary songs, I found out that Belmont's Curse also innovates by straight-up having the worst song in a Castlevania game, period Genuinely, what happened here

It's impressive how Belmont's Curse breaks new ground for the series by not only being the first (mainline) Castlevania game with music that sucks, but also having the first official remix of Bloody Tears that ALSO sucks

Fighting Medusa Heads in a Castlevania game with no contact damage is like seeing an athlete who was never the same after that life-changing injury years ago: Depressing

"Color contrast is important because people often have difficulty seeing content when there isn’t sufficient contrast. High color contrast are easier to distinguish without difficulty; lower contrast can cause people to miss important information." - Nobody on the Belmont's Curse development team

Thinking about how Lament of Innocence has one of the funniest "guy falls down a bottomless pit and dies" screams in gaming, even though there's only 2 rooms in the entire game where you could even do that

Once again, I know people make fun of the "I'll kill you AND the night" line at the end of Lament of Innocence, but the scene playing off that line 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘴 genuinely has one of the hardest lines in all of Castlevania

Part of why I started Lament of Innocence was because the recent Belmont's Curse demo really annoyed me So finally discovering that Lament isn't 3D SotN, but is actually a pseudo-dungeon crawler with DMC1 gameplay & level design that looks like THIS has me feeling like I'm a Goddamn prank victim

Started playing Lament of Innocence for the first time, and while I know there's one line at the end everybody pokes fun at, I've NEVER seen anyone mention how fucking funny the moment where a battle-hardened, holy knight of the crusades suddenly becomes a reasonable 21st century therapist is

I'm real glad this post sold me on Xanadu Next, because it embodies all the subtleties that most action RPGs today have forgotten: tight character progression, gear that actually matters, fixed camera angles to emphasize scale, incredible pacing, & punchy sound design that ties it all together.

Since I can't stop making Metroid videos for some reason, why not jump on the Metroid opinion template that's been going around? Nothing really that surprising here, but I did throw some explanations in the alt text to explain the weird outlier picks here
