The Most Powerful Type of Worldbuilding
Просмотров 1,1 млн2 месяца назад
Burying that sandwich in the woods was the key to all this. Watch my exclusive ‘POST-Post Apocalypses’ video by joining Nebula at go.nebula.tv/curiousarchive It’s seldom been claimed that ‘moldiness’ is the key to great worldbuilding - but after analyzing tons of sci-fi and fantasy settings, and sacrificing some expired bread, I genuinely believe that mildew is one of the most powerful devices ...
I Kind of Hate Elves

HERE ME OUT ON THIS | | Watch my exclusive Ultimate Elf Tier List video by joining Nebula at go.nebula.tv/curiousarchive Seriously, hear me out on this one. Because, elves used to be my favorite fantasy archetype. They’re the best at everything: fighting, wielding magic, making jewelry, doing sick Tony Hawk pro skater tricks on orcs - they’re perfect. So why is there a growing online - I almost...
How a Forest Digests You
Просмотров 713 тыс.4 месяца назад
There is something lurking between the trunks. There is something hungry below the soil. Waiting for you. You can go missing in the forest. It’s something that’s just kind of accepted: that forests are places where things become lost. There is a dark and tangled history that grows in the shadow of the woods: weaving through myth and legend - through stories we’ve told and warnings we’ve whisper...

What Happens After a God Goes Mad?
Просмотров 2,8 млн6 месяцев назад
I mean it wouldn’t be good obviously There are many stories in which divine beings fall to madness. Likewise, the notion that humans are insects to the divine appears across mythology. So what happens after a god decides to squash us? After mercy turns to cruelty? Sanity to inane destruction?

The Dragon Paradox
Просмотров 3,2 млн10 месяцев назад
"Dragons aren't real in the same way that fish aren't real" - JRR Tolkien The problem started with a book. Actually, I suppose it started with a show, “Dragons: A Fantasy Made Real,” that I watched, enraptured, late one school-night. And you could say it made me a little… obsessed - not just with dragons, but with the paradox right there in the show’s title. If dragons aren’t real, the show ask...

Sympathy for the Machine
Просмотров 2,1 млн11 месяцев назад
My battery is low, and it's getting dark. The saddest piece of art I’ve ever seen is about a robot. Actually, it is a robot. It’s a mechanical arm by artists Sun Yuan and Peng Yu that must continually push a leaking liquid back into its body to function. And here’s the thing - I know, rationally, this art installation is not alive. Like every machine, it is, by definition, something artificial....
What Happens After a God Dies?
Просмотров 3,4 млнГод назад
I promise this is an interesting question. There are many stories in which divine beings come to an end. But what happens after a deity perishes? Would they… decompose, their holy forms rotting away to nothing? Or would they linger, their figures forever changing the surrounding environment, or even becoming an environment themselves? Would they ever really go away? Follow Up: ruclips.net/video...

The Invisible Horror of 'The Labyrinth'
I laughed, I cried and I enjoyed this video deeply. You are the only video essayist that has a diamond grasp on my ADHD- i could listen to you for hours- and I have! You're awesome ❤❤❤❤❤
reminds me of bill wurtz seems quite heavily inspired and im loving it
1:36 it's doing its best... 🎶🎶
The Medusa
same dude
Honestly I wouldn’t even be mad if Godzilla pulled up one day and manually destroyed our planet. All forms of death are almost equally as painful as one-another, why not pick the alternative that’s the _coolest?_
Elves are by far the least popular of all fantasy races. This video is an example, one of the least viewed video you ever made and every comment hating on elves while not a single person talking about them t all.
Goblins
1:49 “Tim hurton” sounds like the punchline to a nonexistent joke
I miss your biology videos
What is the name of that game at 03:43?
The way he keeps jumping in the middle, switching tabs is how I study. 😂😂
I really hope that Alex’s Birrin Project starts making a presence in popular culture. So far the modern entertainment industry mainly just keeps regurgitating the same tired old franchises over and over. We need some new, genuinely original material!
Something like scrofas used to exist up until the 1950s in Ireland. They were a native breed of pig called "greyhound pigs" who began to die out during the agricultural revolution when they were replaced with modern breeds.
absolute cimena
People! people are the scariest monsters alive
Neil uses AI art. That's very cringe.
It's definitely a young woman. How is that an old woman? I just really can't see that.
I think Stary could be considerate as a Dead World too, there's robots underground and some animals at the surface but all the humains are dead.
I wonder how many people decide to finally quit their job after watching this.

"we klingons killed our gods many generations ago, they were... more trouble than they were worth." Worf
God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power of love and a sound mind... Isaiah 4:1-6 [1]For seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, "We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach!" [2]In that day the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth will be the pride and the adornment of the survivors of Israel. [3]It will come about that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy-everyone who is recorded for life in Jerusalem. [4]When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and purged the bloodshed of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning, [5]then the Lord will create over the whole area of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, even smoke, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory will be a canopy. [6]There will be a shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and protection from the storm and the rain.
Nice video! What did you smoke, and can I have some too? 😹
it’s crazy that this video came out 8 months ago… i remember being so excited to watch it right after i found out that ca posted something new, crazy how time flies
why aren't ptyonocodites red if the vegetation is red? why is the algae green
This is a great example of how our world is in and of itself tells its own story, hence disregarding an exact need for a heavily manufactured story in a game! ^_^
6:45 Maurits Cornelis Escher was a graphic artist rather than mathematician. Even though his work was often inspired with geometry, he believed he didn't have any mathematical ability.
Wow, this game is beautiful! :D
man even tho he does not see it from the sounds of it. its so pretty the world building all the ups and downs the goods the bads i cant stop marveling at it. the possibility's are endless sure there maybe so meany ways the humans could die but its set up in a way that the excitement and fear for whats going to happen is amazing. and every moment some one agrees with another or fights with another its all complicated and how they see things differently adds to it so much. i love this project and cant wait to see where it go's. and i hope you all will be along for the ride
SCP-1128
What the hell in ADHD is even that xD
The Meg was based on a novel.
12:39 God, I love Dredge. Even just the music is amazing. 100%'d it twice recently after a long time away, but I already almost forgot about it Thank you for reminding me 🤪
This is probably my favorite video on the internet
The only correction I offer to this video is that for better or worse, mullets have been resurrected.
Honestly i feel like the most monstrous things are the kind of unpersonifiable ones. Things such as darkness, the kind of darkness that takes. It doesn't matter if it has a persona attached to it. Its terrifying. And also (not to be cliche) humanity/society. Society isn't a person or an entity but it is nevertheless, terrifying.
this is like history of the entire world i guess + existentialism. hell yeah
The song at the beginning of "the devil you know" section is burning man from world of goo (The nostalgia). I instantly recognized it from world of goo
9:50 Ahhh that's sons of the forest soundtrackkk
It’s a magical beast, a descendent of fallen angels
i love this
Beta tester here! honestly the old version was better than this crap, in the beta version we had massive creatures and i was in the event when the asteroid struck i still think that was one of the coolest event in the game ever but this version SUCKS !
This seriously needs a massive QoL patch and some nerf. Difficulty is too high and so heavily Pay2Win. We need Life 2 now!
You got to revisit this because there is new creatures everywhere
Dwarves are superior
If you want a game which really shows this idea, kenshi. Wonderful wonderful game. There's been 2 separate apocalypses, and the game is set a long time after them
"Only God knows how agonizing it is to be abandoned, adrift, in deep space." That one Kerbal I stranded in High Kerbol Orbit that I have neglected to rescue for 70 years game-time: "Tell me about it."
Not even that hard, they become a player character
this is SOOOO cool
