Assassin of Brevity
Have you ever been at a party, maybe a littletipsy, and you get trapped in a conversation with a guy who just. will. not. quit. talking. Like, you’re long past the point of feeling guilty about not contributing enough. You’re over it. He’s still yapping away, but you’re focused one hundred percent on an escape plan. There’s no way to break this off without feeling like a jerk. “Dude, I really gotta piss,” you mutter before wandering in the opposite direction.
That inescapable party conversation is the spirit animal of thisWitcher 2breakdown. This video essay goes on for five hours, as YouTuber Joseph Anderson dissects (probably) every single aspect ofThe Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. I say “probably” because I definitely didn’t watch this.
The Witcher 2isn’t a one-off random topic. Anderson’s working his way through all of the games in CD Projekt Red’s most popular series. Hisvideo on the originalWitcherbroke two million views and clocked in close to four-and-a-half hours. You can only assume that his inevitableWitcher 3video will be the longest and most popular yet.
Sincerely, kudos on the hard work, effort, and dedication to produce these videos. I get tuckered out after blogging for like 40 minutes. I can’t imagine chipping away at a project of this scale.
