Critical Close-up: Dark Souls |
In July 2021, YouTube set all unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 to private (unless the channel owner had opted out). In the weeks leading up to this change, Archive Team archived many pre-2017 unlisted YouTube videos. If this video was uploaded before 2017 and has gone private, there is a chance that a 360p archived version can be viewed on archive.org via the site's Wayback Machine as follows: 1. Enter the YouTube URL in the Wayback Machine form or click on the following link: https://web.archive.org/web/20210000000000*/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcBCCVGbVfA 2. Right-click on a blue entry in July in the calendar. 3. Click 'Copy link address'. 4. Paste the copied link address into your web browser's address bar and press enter.
Description: UPDATE: As with the previous two critical close-ups, I will be taking the next week off to catch up with my other occupations and let this one soak in. However, I will be re-uploading a revised version of this video with some errata corrected on Thursday. If you see this pop up again with a viewcount of zero, that's why. I'll keep a link to the old around so you can keep your comment threads going though. Hopefully this will satisfy everyone! Dark Souls: a game about life, love, and learning how to hurt yourself. Here's a 35-minute in-depth review about how and why Dark Souls is so challenging, vague and macabre. This video is less lore and story speculation than it is *about* lore and story speculation.
