agreed! :3

The solution to the book is that there is no solution. Danielewski is brilliant in that he traps a portion of his readers in his maze, just like the books maze traps people. It's a brilliant work of meta fiction. He puts in little ciphers that lead to nowhere just to trap people into obsessive analysis. The only analysis is that the book is recursive. The reader obsesses over it the same way Johnny obsesses over Zampanos scribblings. The only solution is to be satiated in knowing you "got it" when you realize it's a trap about a trap.

I’m a simple person. I see video about house of leaves, I like the video, I watch it multiple times.

I'm only about 20 seconds into the video because im blown away by how beautiful the opening song is! Had to jump in the comments and let you know that i hope you release a full version ☺️

not gonna watch until i finish the book myself, but im subscribing anyway bc good taste [also i gotta know how steven universe even could be twin peaks] and so i dont forget. that said, im struggling w the two different povs. what order do you recommend reading each chapter: all of the 'original' stuff [navidsons] and then the footnotes*? read the footnotes as they come up, then go back and read the rest until the next footnote? or be rly sassy and read the footnotes first? *the bits in courier new font. it's been a while since i last picked up the book, so i don't remember the guy's name but hopefully this makes sense

Keep on keeping on my guy.

very insightful. thanks for making this :)

I couldn't get through it. Once I got the academic joke, I couldn't carry on, I got so angry and just put it down. I did finish his second book which was also a clever idea poorly executed.

Had to take a while to sit back and enjoy the video, as I usually just put video essays in the background while working, but you've done a fenomenal job of transmitting the story. House of Leaves is one of my favorite stories of all time, inspiring the way I interpret media, and you've truly done it justice. The cinematography and storytelling you've been using to tie all your essays together, such as the warm tones consistent throughout the video until the black and white at the end, or the way you tie back the review to the storyline of being stuck in a shed and left with stories as entertainment, or even just the way you juxtapose the actual story of house of leaves with your own storyline, has been one of the most unique and interesting things I've seen from this genre. Great work so far, and I hope you know that it doesn't go unappreciated.

Had a penpal going through chemo when I was first playing SH2 in a cold, dark bungalow with thin branches scraping the corrugated iron roofing. Needless to say it left a mark. Several years later I introduced a friend to it, and got to experience it again vicariously through them. It's that same strange feeling, happy memories about something that brings up sad memories. I guess the nostalgia and fondness for the shared experience insulates against the negative associations it would otherwise dredge up. But yeah, we get older, and feel connected to the formative experiences of maturity. Like the Nietzsche quote... not the abyss one alluded to in the game, but rather "Man's maturity is rediscovering the seriousness he had as a child at play"

what are your thoughts on the silent hill 2 remake

This video brings back fond memories of playing SH2 with friends when I was in highschool. I recently bought a CRT TV and dug out my old PS2 to replay this gem and other PS2 classics.

i really liked this video. it kinda hurts my feelings, but i love art, self exploratory shit, and I've wanted to make things like this before but I can't stand being on camera haha. so i stick to comics and writing. but I love this. thanks for sharing.

Adding this to a video playlist, thank you for this great video I can very much relate to this. It's hard for me to articulate my feelings to things. you're video expressed how I feel about the game. Also great song at the end. 😃

I disagree with you on three things. 1. The shows are not supposed to reflect you. You are not those characters. Case in point, I'm straight and one of my favorite characters is a gay guy from Priscilla queen of the desert. He doesn't reflect me, but his self destructive behavior is fascinating and likely caused by the abuse he endured. 2. The diplomacy only policy doesn't work. Steven universe should have taken the hint that some opponents are not interested in diplomacy and sometimes an ass whoopin is a viable option. See ww2 for details. 3. Twin peaks went some. There was a storyline that progressed, slowly, but it progressed. Steven universe kept spinning it's own wheels making you do the work the writers didn't do.

I feel _EXACTLY_ the same way about Steven Universe. I've always felt intensely motivated by its sincerity and completely unfazed by its criticisms. I truly love it. Everything you said, I felt on a wavelength with. Twin Peaks, the show, admittedly confounded me on a first viewing. But watching the movie was like a religious experience! Talk about brutal honesty!! With maturity I've come to appreciate the show much more. Recently I watched it with my wife who'd never seen it, and even before we got to the movie, it was impacting her on a deeply emotional level; right away, she was able to pick up on subtext that I had missed when I was younger. I have a recommendation. If you like this level of sincerity -- and I can tell from your style that it's really important to you, which I love -- then you should watch Neon Genesis Evangelion. Maybe you already have idk! But it's the most intensely honest art I've ever seen. If I had to rate shows by how personal they are to me, Steven Universe and NGE would both be 10/10s.

I just subbed. Keep up the good work.👏

Lot of feeling. Thanks for sharing

a video comparing my old favorite? (steven universe) and my new obsession? (twin peaks) YES please!! Absolutely lovely video with a lot of heart, seems like a good time to start my semi-annual Steven Universe rewatch

Yo I adored this, you've earned a loyal subscriber!

Great video essay, really enjoyed it, thanks!

what a great video, im glad u made it

that title is a hooker i tell you, I don't care about SU but I'm interested now

Woah!

This video convinced me to finally learn how to pirate things so i can watch twin peaks. Nice song btw!

Liked and subbed anytime i see a dude wake up and smoke a snipe. Reminds me of weirder days lol... Steven universe is hella lame tho but i won't judge you

awesome video

rocks that the algorithm brought me here, great video dude ❤

oh man steven universe... i really liked that show. Around the release of season 2, I commissioned Shmorky to draw my gemsona "Honey Calcite" He did a really good job!

WHat an intro to a video.

This was a wonderful surprise

This video rocked, and the song at the end was really good. I subscribed 👍

Hey, even if it's all an algorithm trick, I feel like I've made a discovery.

This is rad

Damn, i just randomly ran into this video, gj dude

Your work is amazing! This is such a thought provoking piece. It was really interesting to see these shows contrasted. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences!

I was introduced to SH by accident , via Limewire back in the day.. Its the music 🎶🎵 , i fell in love with the OST's . I was already a NIN halo fanatic, doing heavy drugs back then.. So the melodic industrial tunes were a vibe.. Couldn't tell ya which game they came from😂 back then. I just was memorized by Akira , i started searching for SH Tracks more and more , until i had an entire playlist of random OST songs and the rest is history.. So my SH introduction experience was backwards yet unique personally to me..

"PS2 on the floor at our feet " ahhh yes the good ole days.. I pity the kids who will never know the golden yrs of the PlayStation 2.. Literally Undefeated... SH 2 is an anomaly, a lone wolf in the series.. It shattered boundaries unknown to be achieved in a video game. Team Silent 😶 wasnt making a "video game" per se 😂 with SH2.. The themes in this interactive media experience touched on the flaws of the " human condition" , let that marinate in your mind for a second.... , and they didnt pull any punches with its narrative in tone and message. So many people have ended thier lives by self inflicting wounds , before and after this game came out. Its a tale of sin and purgatory , a PS2 title ? Up until then was unheard of. Real world actions that humans commit and think of .. Murder , Lust , Sexual Abuse , incest , Selfishness, and even forgiveness and redemption.. This title will forever hit a little too hard at home. Because its based around real human sin , depression, and mental health issues.. Blooper needs to focus, on the real world themes of this game , push that narrative to its limits. Just as Tean Silent did so long ago..They shouldnt treat it like a " video game" Because Team Silent didnt do so..

A little advice. There's moments when your talking and you can hear the audio clips fade out into pure silence. If you get like a 30 second to a minute long clip of air/wind/ambience, it will fill out those moments and make it more uniform with the rest of the video. That being said, you got the cinematography, music, and writing down. Great video all around. Hyped for what you make next!

Excellent video. My all time favorite is Silent Hill 3.

Why enjoy any video game ever?

You got the horror and creepy video vibe nailed bro. Looking forward to more!

This was a wonderful near half hour to spend with a fellow Fan. Silent Hill 2 is absolutely my favorite game of all-time, too, and I think you've nailed a vast chunk of why I love it so much. It has a real breathing pulse under all those polygons, and is the only game I've played that truly feels like it has a soul, even if that soul is in purgatory. Subscribed! 💖

First time to your channel and i gotta say just from this video i really like how you’re delivering your ideas and the way you make these videos, you just got a new subscriber here 😁

Great job man

I agree with your beautiful video. Number 2 is my favorite, then 3,1,4,5

My favorite game too buddy!

The story is amazing, the characters are great, the music is great, all the symbolism, it doesn't rely on cheap jump scares. People calling SH2 as survival horror are wrong, in SH2 the survival aspect is a very minor part of the game. The game is all about the story, relationships between the characters, symbolism etc... Psychological horror is a better stamp for SH2.

This video was really well made also stylistically was cool asf anyways I can’t wait to see what else you make in the future. Also the songs tune at the end was a banger ngl.
