omg, you guys, i just heard the news that the gaming historian is stopping his youtube channel, and i'm still trying to process it. for those who don't know, he's a super popular youtuber who's been making these amazing documentary-style videos about old games and gaming history for like, 15 years now. he's got over a million subs, and his videos are always so well-researched and engaging.



i've always loved watching his videos, and i think what makes them so special is the way he dives deep into the history of games and consoles. from weird peripherals like the sega mega modem to obscure games that nobody remembers, he's covered it all. and the best part is, he's always done it in this super chill, ken burns-style way that makes you feel like you're learning something without even realizing it.



so, why is he stopping? apparently, he just got burned out after making this huge video about the oregon trail, and he hasn't felt like making any new content since then. he says he's tried to get back into it, but his heart just isn't in it anymore, and he doesn't want to compromise on quality. i can totally understand that - making videos is hard work, and if you're not feeling it, it's better to just stop rather than pushing out something mediocre.



but here's the cool part: even though he's stopping his youtube channel, he's still giving us a parting gift. he's uploaded a ton of old nintendo court documents to the internet archive, and you can go browse them right now. these documents are from this crazy lawsuit back in 1982 where universal studios sued nintendo over donkey kong, saying it was a trademark infringement of kingRead more: Full article on www.pcgamer.com
