    Hey Duders,

    Here is the latest Deep Look! Deep Looks are largely gameplay and commentary like a Giantbomb quicklook; however, I try to cover games that have been out for a while and I intend to use the videos to highlight moments and mechanics that I found particularly worthy of highlighting and exploring. Also I aim to keep the videos under 20 minutes.

    In this Deep Look I SPOIL the final gameplay moment of Bastion in order to examine its surprising gameplay twist. I talk about why the last scene is so moving and effective and how the game actually achieves its emotional conclusion. I also suggest how other games can learn from the gameplay pivot employed by Bastion.

    I'm not sure why, but the custom thumbnail for my video isn't showing yet. I edited it this morning, but it still isn't showing up. This is what I get for being excited.

    I might have a baby deep look on Bastion at some point, but I think this should be it for Bastion stuff! As always I love feedback!

    Woot the custom thumbnail seems to be working now! It'll take a little bit to update all of my videos, but I couldn't be happier with how it turned out! Yay sombrero penguin!
