Oh! Errant Signal and Folding ideas are top-tier channels for sure! Some of my favorites! Every day Dan Olson posts a video is an event XD
I watch Jacob Geller every now and then! I like his stuff. I'm not subbed but every now and then a video of his pops up on my recs and I watch it.
I didn't know Hazel, Colleen, Lines in Motion, or Thor High Heels! I'll check them out, thank you very much!
I used to watch Thomas Flight and Every Frame a Painting, but I think their approach to media analysis is a bit closer to the stuff I'm getting tired of. That sort of "Game Maker's Toolkit" content philosophy that tries to dissect a thing, and only the thing in itself, ignoring everything around it, in order to create this manual on how to do media the "right way". It's only about the techniques, it's only about how to guide the eyes and feelings of the spectator, and I think that's getting lamer and lamer as a concept as I move on.
Take ES' "Children of Doom" series as a counter-point to that philosophy: It's a historical approach to art. He analyses not only the games, but how they move in time, how things evolve, how they influence each other. We're studying how media is changing the world and how the world changes media. THAT to me is interesting.
