What's a game mechanic/idea that you feel hasn't been fully explored yet? How would you like to see it utilized?

It's interesting someone mentioned Battlefield 2: Modern Combat's Hotswapping feature, because while I would want to experiment with that mechanic in future games, there's another mechanic that game has which has actually stuck with me more.

In BF2: MC, each kill fills up one meter out of many, and each meter filled earns you a perk that assists in battle, extra health, faster reloads, fire-rate, etc.

It makes no damn sense in a war game where you're playing as a common soldier, but for a Max Payne style 3rd person shooter? It'd be perfect! The dream would be to attach that to a Black Lagoon game. Essentially build an Adrenaline system, to make it so that the more aggressive the player is, the more powerful they become in battle.

Have you ever thought about a video series that tackles the legacy of a series or franchise as a whole? For example a Perfect Dark video that discusses it's innovations and shortcomings with it's following title

I've done this to a small extent, mainly with Ghost in the Shell, and I've got a couple things lined up to expand that series even further, with more ambitious projects about things like Tomb Raider.

Wonder when the metro exodus video will be out?

Not the next video, but next in line for Years Later.

Has there been any particular controversy where it's severe enough to affect how you enjoy watching a Youtube personality?

Most of them are people I stopped watching before they got into trouble, but Max Landis was one such case, though I already thought it was quite suspect when he dropped off the face of the earth the moment one female Youtuber mentioned his behavior.

Something I've learned though is you can learn good things from bad people, and part of what makes bad people scary isn't that they're monsters, but that for the most part, they're just like everybody else.
