Gaia Phoenix Media

We focus on Analytical Nostalgia, which explores the game design and storytelling techniques in stories and games such as Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Kingdom Hearts, The Legend of Zelda, Mario, Xenoblade Chronicles, Persona, and MegaMan. These come in the form of video essays, challenge runs, and overly analytical deep dives. (And, sometimes, OVERLY over-analytical deep dives)

All challenge runs and Let’s Plays on the channel are intended to explore what happens when a specific aspect of a game is removed, changed, or exaggerated. We encourage you to analyze how your favorite games and stories can evolve with these minor changes and appreciate what the designers and writers do to enhance your user experience.

We also include mindfulness practices whenever possible, even if it’s just a simple reminder to stretch and drink water. At the end of the day, games and stories are meant to make our day better. Let’s strive to do that for each other, together.

Thank you for watching!
