I just watched an excellent 2 hour (just needed to edit title, as I noticed it was 2 hours and not 1, wow time really flew away!) long documentary. The build up in stages and showing the evolution of the best players achievements, is intense and very well edited, narrated and written documentary!
I know 1 hour is long and I wasn’t planning to watch everything, but time flew away. If you have any slight interest into this topic, I highly recommend you to take some time to watch. The video itself is broken up in 5 or so sections. So you could just watch a section at a time, if 2 hour is too long. There is a specific reveal that I do not want spoil, which was epic. Just insanity!
BTW have fun. Edit: Here some timestamps:
- 2:32 Chapter 1
- 11:39 Chapter 2
- 16:28 Chapter 3: ENEOOGEZ
- 25:48 Chapter 4: Hypertapping
- 31:45 Chapter 5: The Next Generation
- 49:00 Chapter 6: Rolling
- 1:00:27 Chapter 7: Vaulting & Scaling
- 1:15:25 Chapter 8: Colors
- 1:25:00 Chapter 9: Crash
For anyone who don’t want to watch it on YouTube, here is a link to an Invidious instance:
I love Salt, but man his videos are getting way too long. I put the speed at 1,25x for any of his videos and the pacing is still perfectly fine.
I’ve heard people enjoy his videos with some drugs and I get it, it sounds super chill. But this length is a stretch for me, it could be half the time and lose basically nothing. And this is coming from a guy who enjoys long format videos like hbomberguy.
Respectfully disagree when it comes to this video! I wouldn’t have fully appreciated the innovations he presents ~80-minutes in without the preceding historical context!
He’s got a bad case of dramatic video essay voice. Thanks for the tip, 1.25x speed still sounds natural and hides a lot of the dead air
You can watch them piece by piece (meaning if its broken up by chapters like this), if its too long. I personally don’t do that, but can absolutely understand it. Nowadays I also watch most videos at higher speed. Some talk really slow, I mean slow that I watch it at x1.4 speed and it sounds like someone else is talking at x1.0 speed. But this video, I didn’t have a problem with the narration itself.
BTW I recommend Looking for an addon or like that if you watch on a browser. I have a more fine control over the speed values, as x1.25 sometimes is too fast. In example I often watch at x1.1 by default or sometimes at x1.2… and in really bad cases even faster.
