2024-08-16 19:19:07 +0000 UTC View Posthey folks! i wound up putting a lot more work into this video than i originally intended to. this is not the final version, just a render of the first finished cut to upload to see what the algorithm dings me on. in fact, this version got dinged for my use of the trailer for halo season 2, which i find hilarious. but looking at the section that ...

here it is, a new scripted video essay! for anyone who watched the rough cut, i did actually remove about 6 minutes from the final version (but the file is longer because i added an outro). i'm really proud of this one and i hope y'all enjoy it. the premiere happens in about an hour!!!
