Patreon Q&A #15

Matthew Bryon Hall Asks
How do you decide on the subjects for your Years Later... videos?

It's a combination of passion project and freshness. I made a contract with myself a long time ago that I wouldn't make content, no matter how heavily requested, if I held no interest. There's no money in the world that could make me do a Years Later on World of Warcraft, for example.

There's also the feeling of whether I'll be able to add anything new to the conversation. One of the biggest fears of making my Andromeda video, is that it'd just regurgitate the hundreds of other people that already talked about it ad nauseam. Luckily, most channels farming for clicks moved on after Andromeda's release.

The next analysis to be revealed soon will follow this same pattern.

What video game would you bring with you if you were stranded on an island and why?

Hmm. Probably some kind of Sim Racer, honestly. I know that's not the sexiest answer, but it's a type of game I've always returned to at some point in life repeatedly over twenty years. There'll always be an appeal to blasting around roads you couldn't race on in cars you'd never race with.

If that Island had an internet connection, then MCC's probably a cheap answer too, for I could rotate over that collection endlessly.

Can I assume you're not too much into Japanese indie auteurs like Suda51 or SWERY65 (can add Yoko Taro to the mix)? Or is it just lack of time?

Lack of time. I bought Killer is Mine years ago on Steam, and have Nier Automata waiting for me on Steam. There's just so many games I haven't gotten around too.

What are your favorite headphones/ speakers?

Currently I'm rocking Status CB-1's and while perhaps on the highest fidelity or reliability, they sound great, and most importantly, I can wear for much longer periods thanks to their comfort. I've got ears like a satellite dish, so finding great sounding headphones is easy, compared to finding ones that I can wear for more than an hour without giving me a headache.
