https://www.polygon.com/2018/12/28/1815 ... 2018-watch

I've slowly gone through all of these and they are indeed excellent. Special mention to the work of Lindsay Ellis in general who is quite, quite brilliant:



Also, this is a really great vid on Humanising Game Design:

just found a brilliant channel; 3 women trapped in a giant xylophone room playing anime and video game soundtracks? yes please!

Another excellent video by Nerrel



Also wanna shout out Thor High Heels. I think his game reviews/analyses are great but he hasn't really blown up yet.

The penultimate shot is bloody amazing .

One of the best Tornado video's i have seen because you can hear the raw sound of the Twister and the freight train noise you always hear chasers always go on about in Documentary's. Excellent footage must of been 2-3 blocks from his house

Amazing stuff .

Has anyone been watching the Astartes vids? They are short but well worth watching. Only 3 so far but I have to say someone just needs to throw money at the guy so he can make a feature.

I wasn't, but now I am. Damn they're good.

They are fantastic. The Warhammer universe has had so much time and effort poured into it in terms of the backstory and lore, it is kind of surprising that there hasn't really been any sort of series or film.

I wouldn't be shocked to find out that it's the incredibly voluminous lore that's been keeping it from getting a proper film or TV series. I mean, where do you begin? Do you begin with tales set in the "now?" If so, which faction do you draw focus on? Do you retell Gaunt's Ghosts, the siege(s) of Armageddon, etc? Do you world-build with origin stories of the Emperor and the like, Marvel-style? Both? Neither?

The Emperor's reunification campaign across Terra is something I am particularly keen to see realized on screen, especially the Salamanders' battle through the Tempest Galleries.
