Nora: No! I'm happy for them! It's not like I'm jealous of Ren!

Jaune: Wait, jealous OF Ren?

I watched his Tekwar video, because Civvie's experience with the game had me interested in the broader franchise at large.

Most of this guy's recent videos are way, way, way too long for me, though. A four hour video on Two Worlds? Three and a half hours on a single Ultima game, in a series of videos probably 14 or 15 hours total?

Nah, man. When I load up Youtube these days I'm looking for something that's 45 minutes or less. I've got other things to do today, and I'd like to watch a variety of different videos rather than sitting down and chewing through one very long video all day.

I get it: Youtube pays better for higher watch time. People are more likely to watch a 4 hour video to completion than they are to watch 8 episodes that are 30 minutes long. It's about getting your foot in the door and leaving it there.

But there are a lot of videos I personally straight up refuse to watch because I do not have time for anything over 90 minutes long. There are so many better ways for me to use my time than watching somebody spend 4 hours reviewing an entire franchise in one video.

Like instead of getting cliffnotes in bulk, you could just watch an actual movie. Not even the same movie you're trying to summarize! Just pick something! If you watch enough movies you'll learn that even movies you don't like still enrich your life a little bit! They'll certainly enrich your life more than if you watch a 4 hour Youtube summary video.

Everyone needs to make shorter Youtube videos!!!!!!

Majuular's has been publishing video retrospectives of the "Ultima" series; he's already done the first five games, with more to come.

YouTube streamer Majuular‘s channel is full of retrospectives of many classic games, but recently his attention has been on the Ultima series. He’s covered Akalabeth and Ultima 1, Ultima 2, Ultima 3, Ultima 4, and (most recently) Ultima 5, and delves into significant detail about each game. The earlier videos run to about an hour in length; the two most recent ones clock in at nearly two hours.…

I had the pleasure of working with the very talented Majuular and drew the Thumbnail for his Yakuza 5 review on YouTube!

Getting to paint out the 5 protagonists and then slide good ol Maj in there was very fun and the man's a great dude to work with.
