If You’re Bored During Confinement And Desperately Looking For Something Fun To Watch, I Highly Recommend

If you’re bored during confinement and desperately looking for something fun to watch, I highly recommend the Unraveled series by Brian David Gilbert. The premise if that a very dapper gentleman decides to delve into video game lore in absurd detail to answer questions about them nobody asked as thoroughly as possible, and it’s hilarious.

He also occasionally strays a bit from this premise (like cooking and testing every recipe form Breath of the Wild, creating the perfect Pokérap or improving his own apartment thanks to the Sims) but the important thing is, he always puts a ludicrous amount of research into things no-one should care about, and makes you really care about it.

Here’s the first video, there should be a playlist for the full show on the YouTube page:

And if you don’t wanna watch the whole thing (but you’d be doing yourself a disservice), I have a few recommendations for what I’d consider “must watch”-es:

- Solving the Zelda Timeline in 15 Minutes (the first video and one that gives you a great idea of what to expect);

- Understanding Kingdom Hearts (and every other story);

- How to make a perfect E3 press conference (or drinking game);

- How to tell apart all 596 Fire Emblem characters (first one I saw and one of the funniest IMO. And I say that as someone who hardly knows anything about Fire Emblem);

- I used The Sims to perfect my apartment (I especially love that this one has a very positive morale to it);

- Waluigi, Unraveled.

Hope that’ll help at least brighten your day for some of you. Have fun and stay safe!

psychic: *reads my mind*

me: what’s the opposite of low? (High!) And what do you call this part? (Knees!) Put ‘em together, it’s addition time - (Knee highs!) - No, high knees… Get ‘em up high, and then up even higher - it’s not a lot to do. Show me your dreams, your sky high desires! You have to get your knees so high like a plane! High like a mountain! High like a stoner, 420! (don’t do drugs.) High like a very tall building where the elevator ride makes you dizzy, don’t get in a tizzy, just knees up, knees up, knees up, don’t stop, sharks have to keep on swimming or they die. Knees up, knees up, knees up, don’t stop - up to your shoulders, up to your eye! Keep on going, but look at this graph, and see the truth. The answer is so simple it’ll make you laugh - the higher you can get your knees, the more you succeed! The more you are liked! More, more, more! (Correlation is positive.) More self esteem, I can walk into a room and say “Hey, look at me - yes, you - look at me! I’m great, and smart, and nice, and we should go on a date! I’ll pick you up at eight!” Sorry that was forward… Wait… Yeah? Cool, alright, sweet! Yeah… I’ll- I’ll see you then! (ohhhhhhhhhh!) Knees up, knees up, knees up, knees up, she said yes ‘cause my knees are high - also ‘cause I got this twinkle in my eye! I’m so happy I could die, but the higher I can get my knees, the more I succeed! The more I am liked! More, more, more! (I can’t believe you got a date.) My moves are good, and I’m proud and I’m pretty, and I’m feeling really good in Baltimore city, and my mood is high, just like my knittys, and you wanna know why? ‘Cause I’m doin’ my ditty! It’s high knees, high knees, high knees, high knees, h
