Fan videos that actually do not suck

[Thyroid]

I really hate the music videos fans make, and I mean really, really hate them. But I came across these a few days ago and I've seen them roughly 30 times since. They just nail what these games are all about. ScOULaris, whoever you are, you are a great editor.

While I agree his taste in music isn't up there, his

really made me realise how much the two games have in common, and just how brilliant they both are. I haven't seen it all the way through because it's spoiler-ish and I haven't finished Ico yet (I will this summer). And his

is brilliant on every level. And although his choice of music in this one (Snow Patrol) is unfortunate, the lyrics and editing serve to make

brilliant. Watch it all the way through, it's just great editing and you can tell he put a lot of work into it. I also really like his

video.

Needless to say the videos are full of spoilers for their respective games, but man those are good videos.

What a douchey thing to say. Also, it's the first post in the thread. Who are you agreeing with?

It's awesome when a game feels so perfect you feel the need to make everyone understand how awesome it is. I've experienced it a few times (SotC being one), but I've stopped trying to convince people. It usually just ends up with them doing a half-assed attempt and then claiming it wasn't that great, and then I feel like an idiot for recommending a bad game. I think some people purposefully hate or dislike everything other people recommend just because they didn't "discover" it on their own.

Anyway, yeah, SotC is awesome, and I can't wait for whatever explosion of awesomerry that guy (Hiteido? Kutariko? Hasibusa?) will come up with on the latest consoles.

I'm agreeing with other comments in the YouTube thread.

His name is Fumito Ueda. His new game will most likely be revealed at this year's E3.
